Chapter 45: I’ll Take Out Two More Than You
Immortals were not immune to appetite, and the Drunken Wind Restaurant had always enjoyed a fair reputation among lower rank disciples. Wei Yuan had heard of the restaurant before, though he never imagined he would be eating here one day.
As soon as Wei Yuan stepped inside the Drunken Wind Restaurant, a waiter led him to a small, tranquil house. It was where Bao Yun’s celebration feast would take place.
Three large tables were arranged inside the house, and Wei Yuan was led straight to the main table. However, he was currently sitting at the bottom of the class in terms of cultivation progress, and so didn’t feel like he deserved to sit at the main table at all. He turned around and tried to head over to a side table, but Bao Yun’s eyes lit up the moment she saw him. She ran up to him, grabbed his arm, and forcefully pressed him into the seat next to hers. This was significant as even Cui Yu was sitting one seat away from her.
A total of ten people were seated at the main table. Five of them had received the Founder’s boon, whereas the other five possessed either outstanding talent in cultivation or prominent backgrounds.
By now, Wei Yuan was acutely aware that possessing a prominent background also meant possessing a first-rate talent in cultivation.
When everyone had arrived, Bao Yun rose to her feet and said, “Greetings, dear senior brothers and sisters. I’m very glad that you could grace me with your presence. I’ll drink first to honor you all!”
Everyone hurriedly rose to their feet and gulped down their wine as well. Bao Yun’s image was Heaven-tier at the minimum, with a chance at forming an immortal foundation. No further explanation was needed regarding her talent for cultivation. On top of that, the Bao Clan was a first-rate aristocratic family, and everyone present was precocious from an early age. If they didn’t seize this opportunity to curry favor with her now, then when? A couple more years after today, and they wouldn’t even get the chance to touch the hem of her dress.
Wei Yuan also drank his wine. He felt like a line of fire was slipping down into his stomach before exploding into an immense cloud of spirit energy. Inside his sea of consciousness, a drizzle was falling in his image once more and growing the ground at a visible rate.
He was stunned. This single cup of wine was equal to thirty days of cultivation! If he drank the whole bottle, then he could probably save himself a whole year!
