Chapter 154 - Shopkeeper of the Tavern Is Actually An Immortal!

The birth of the Ancient Sword Immortal’s cave abode, the Young Master of the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets obtaining the inheritance of the Sword Immortal with a peerless treasure, the arrival of the phoenix on Mount Taiyin, the birth of the Carefree Grand Sage’s cave abode, and the destruction of the Divination Chessboard…

Everything seemed so coincidental.

But was it really that?

Jianglu seemed to have seen the tip of the iceberg of a world-shaking plan.

But he didn’t dare say it out loud.

Whether it was true or not was another matter.

The point was that he hadn’t met the author of the calligraphy.

Only after he met the peerless master could he confirm it.

Jianglu’s heart was in turmoil.

Jianglu used all his strength, and even silently chanted the heart-clearing mantra, to calm his mood.

He was extremely scared.

Just the thought of prying into that plan made him feel uneasy, and his spiritual altar was about to be lost.

Could this be the warning from that peerless expert to him?

Jianglu was extremely scared.

After calming his emotions and circulating the spiritual power in his body smoothly, Jianglu opened his eyes.

At this time, Lou Hongzhi had already walked far away.

Jianglu focused his eyes and took a look.

It turned out that Lou Hongzhi had already walked into the tavern and started chatting with the tavern’s shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper’s physique was that of a middle-aged man who had put on weight. It seemed that it was because of the sign at the door that his complexion looked very good.

That shopkeeper, who had the body of a mortal, actually had a subtle Daoist connotation circulating around his body.

This caused Jianglu to be extremely shocked.

Jianglu had grasped the Dao Constellation Palace’s exclusive technique, and he could see the Dao rhythm that was minute to minute. When he was looking for opportunities, he had the upper hand.

This discovery at this time, however, caused him to be extremely shocked.

A mortal could actually possess a Dao rhythm?

Even an early-stage Dharma Idol cultivator like him didn’t have a Dao rhythm.

Could it be that he had been enlightened by that peerless expert and was influenced by his eyes and ears, resulting in such a realm?

In an instant, Jianglu’s thoughts flew quickly, and he recalled many things.

“When a mighty figure in the Immortal World cultivates to a profound realm, he can return to the origin and return to the essence, and his every move is a Supreme Great Dao. However, his body looks like that of a mortal. This is because the Great Dao of an Immortal conceals the Immortal Qi, which is why it has such an effect…”

These were the records of the secret manual in the Dao Constellation Palace.

When Jianglu thought of this, he suddenly came to a realization.

The shopkeeper in front of him must be an Immortal!

Otherwise, why did he have Dao charm on him?

Why did his complexion look better than that of an ordinary itinerant cultivator?

That shopkeeper must be the subordinate of that peerless expert!

Moreover, the people in the entire market city must be Immortals.

Otherwise, how could they withstand the terrifying aura on the hundreds and thousands of signboards?

That must be it. That’s right.

Thinking of this, Jianglu broke out in cold sweat.

Fortunately, he had to find Lou Hongzhi. Otherwise, if he were to clash with the Immortals, not only would he not be able to leave the market, even the Dao Constellation Palace behind him would probably be in big trouble.

Jianglu also thought of one thing.

Before he came, no one had noticed Lou Hongzhi’s abnormal state!

Or rather, no one had paid attention to Lou Hongzhi’s condition.

If it was a mortal, he would definitely go up and look at Lou Hongzhi when he saw someone standing in front of the pub.

He wouldn’t say that he would block the pub from doing business.

Then, it was confirmed that the people in this market city were all Immortals!

It was a common sight. They weren’t even worried that Lou Hongzhi’s Sword Qi would hurt them.

What a joke. with Lou Hongzhi’s cultivation at the Dharma Idol stage, how could he hurt the Immortals?

Even if Lou Hongzhi reached the Tribulation Transcension stage, he would not hurt an Immortal.

Moreover, Lou Hongzhi’s Sword Qi was much smaller than usual, as if it was being suppressed by an invisible force.

Jianglu made a judgment in a split second.

Fortunately, when he asked the passersby before, he was very respectful and did not leave a bad impression on them.

Jianglu was very quick-witted. He thought so much, and it only took a split second.

And Lou Hongzhi had just opened his mouth.

“Shopkeeper, may I ask, the words on the signboard outside your shop are after the person who insured you? Can you reveal some information? There will be a reward!”

When the shopkeeper heard Lou Hongzhi ask about this matter, he was not very surprised. Because of Lou Hongzhi’s temperament, he showed an appreciative look.

“You are welcome. This matter, as everyone knows, is not a secret. That Senior…”

The shopkeeper spoke slowly.

Following the shopkeeper’s description, the expressions of Jianglu and Lou Hongzhi became more and more interesting.

The image of an aloof and refined person, a peerless expert, was deeply rooted in their hearts.

“Thank you for your guidance, shopkeeper.”

After eating the wine and food.

Lou Hongzhi took out a supreme-grade spirit stone and threw it to the shopkeeper, then turned around and left.

The shopkeeper’s expression changed instantly.

He didn’t recognize what that spirit stone was.

He didn’t expect that swordsman with thick eyebrows and big eyes actually wanted to eat for free?

But he was unarmed and didn’t dare to act up. His beard was trembling slightly due to anger.

Jianglu’s gaze was always on the shopkeeper.

Seeing the shopkeeper’s angry expression, Jianglu was extremely terrified.

‘It’s over. Lou Hongzhi, that idiot with only swords in his mind, has angered the Immortal!’

It was very normal.

That shopkeeper had already become an extraordinary Immortal. Did he need the spirit stones of a cultivator like you?

At the very least, it should be Immortal Jade, right?

Thinking of this, Jianglu prepared to take out a few pieces of Immortal Jade from his storage bag.

Just as he took a step forward, Jianglu killed this thought.

No, that shopkeeper didn’t want Immortal Jade.

Just like how they had already reached the realm of Dao rhythm circulation, why would they need Immortal Jade?

Then, what the shopkeeper needed should be gold and silver!

Yes, that’s right, the shopkeeper should be cooperating with that peerless expert, hiding together at the foot of this small Mount Taiyin.

Giving them spirit stones and Immortal Jade, wasn’t it just exposing their identities? And also bringing them unnecessary trouble.

Jianglu’s back instantly broke out in cold sweat.

Fortunately, he had prepared a lot of gold and silver for the emergency.

At this time, Lou Hongzhi had already walked out of the door.

“Jianglu, what are you doing, dawdling and wasting time?”

“Oh, you go first, I’ll catch up with you after chatting with the shopkeeper.”

Jianglu dismissed Lou Hongzhi, then walked to the shopkeeper, respectfully took out a bag full of gold and silver, and presented it to the table in front of the shopkeeper.

Jianglu said sincerely, “Senior, I’m very sorry. This friend of mine has never been out and doesn’t know the rules. This is to apologize, I hope Senior can accept it.”

As he spoke, Jianglu pushed the bag full of gold and silver to the shopkeeper and then took the spirit stones from the shopkeeper’s hand.

The shopkeeper was stunned.

“Little Brother, what are you doing? You don’t need to pay so much for your food and drinks.”

Jianglu pretended to be honest and smiled.

“Senior, there’s no need to decline. I know that you have a lot of inconveniences at the foot of Mount Taiyin. Please accept these. Take it as the two of us supporting your business.”

After saying that, Jianglu quickly left the tavern.

When he went out, Jianglu saw that the tavern manager didn’t make any movements, so he was relieved.

Jianglu’s whole body was soaked in cold sweat.
