As it is necessary to care for the tender young immortals who have yet to embark on the path of cultivation and the immature Guiding Period seedlings who have not yet begun fasting, the sect of Ten Thousand Paths deliberately allocated an hour for lunch after the morning assessment.
Although Lu Jian'an had long adopted a fasted state, he still had the habit of satisfying his taste buds.
Especially since eating is an inherently pleasurable activity.
Immediately upon arriving at the dining hall of one of the four main halls of Ten Thousand Paths, I could smell the enticing aroma filling the mountains, arousing my appetite.
The dining hall was listed as one of the four main halls because all the ingredients here are top-notch, which is highly beneficial for cultivators.
For example, today's menu.
"Today's menu features stir-fried dragon fish meat. Ah, I wonder who killed another dragon king." Zhao Shizai looked at the current menu and asked, "Big brother, do you want to order one?"
"Look, I am preparing to have a casual meal."
"Alright."
"After the four of us placed our orders, we went to sit at an outdoor table outside. During the time it took for the dishes to be served, Zhao Shizai suddenly whispered, "Big brother, you must not know that there is a new type of sandalwood sock that has recently become popular in brothels."
"The waiters are exuding ten times more charm after wearing that type of stocking. And the sensation of being caressed by the silky stockings and delicate feet is heavenly."
Lu Jin'an gave him a sidelong glance: "Have you tried it?"
"This is an experience of trying new things!" Zhao Shizai argued emphatically: "As cultivators, how can we not keep up with the progress of the times, aren't we?"
"Pfft!" Guan Wen spat out: "You're just being promiscuous, yet you speak so elegantly?"
"I am a sword cultivator!" Zhao Shizai said confidently, "If you don't use the sword often, it will rust!"
"So that's why you can't find a spiritual partner?" Guan Wen glanced at him sideways: "Moreover, Master Brother's sword law cultivation is extremely profound, how come Master Brother doesn't go to such wind and moon places?"
"That's because there were no such special sandals in the past." Zhao Shizai looked at Lu Jin'an: "I think it would definitely attract Master Brother now. So, Master Brother, should we go to the Dreamy Mist Pavilion tonight?"
Lu Jin'an thought for a moment and asked: "What kind of stockings..."
"Slap!"
Before Lu Jin'an could finish speaking, Zhao Shizai slapped his thigh: "I knew Master Brother was interested, so tonight we will go to the Dreamy Mist Pavilion, and I will treat you!"
"Shut up, you!" Guan Wen gave him a dismissive look: "Let Master Brother finish speaking."
Zhao Shizai quickly looked at Lu Jin'an, who asked directly without any shyness: "Since the special sandals you mentioned are so popular, why haven't I heard any of the disciples in our sect talking about it?"
"Because it's too indecent!" Guan Wen's face turned slightly red: "Two days ago, I went shopping in Jing'an City with other sister disciples. Those stockings are really... Well, I won't be wearing them anyway!"
"How indecent are they?" Lu Jinan feigned curiosity.
"That's why Master Brother has to go to the Dreamy Mist Pavilion with me tonight." Zhao Shizai smiled mischievously: "The sandals you mentioned cannot be described by words, only by seeing and experiencing can you know how amazing they are... very satisfying!"
"Don't waste Master Brother's time!" Jiang Wuji frowned: "Let others know that Master Brother is going to a brothel. What will they think?"
"Food and sex are natural human desires!" Zhao Shizai argued: "Second Brother, as a pure male cultivator, you can't go, so don't envy us!"
Jiang Wuji's eye twitched, and this topic really hit a nerve with him.
"Master Brother, don't listen to him." Jiang Wuji hurriedly said: "Such indecent things will only lead people to indulgence!"
"You have to believe in Master Brother's cultivation!" Zhao Shizai argued: "Also, I'm doing this for Master Brother's sake. What if we encounter a Heyuan Sect female cultivator wearing such sandals in the future, and Master Brother hasn't seen it, and then he falls victim to it all at once?"
"The women of the Heyuan Sect have been after Master Brother for days!"
"And there's more!" Zhao Shizhe changed the subject: "Tonight, the Dreamy Mist Pavilion will have a group of fox spirits performing. With those ears, tails, and those stockings, it's going to be a real hit!"
He became more and more excited as he spoke: "By then, I will spend money to buy Master Brother the first night right, ensuring that Master Brother will have a wonderful night!"
Lu Jin'an smiled without saying yes or no: "Do you know who made those stockings?"
"I don't know!" Zhao Shizze chuckled: "So Master Brother has to go with me, maybe we can find out something."
Lu Jin'an was pondering, when Guan Wen suddenly spoke up: "Master Zhao, aren't you afraid of being chastised by Mou sister? How dare you take Master Brother to a brothel?"
On hearing this, Zhao Shizhe's expression froze, as if he remembered something and shrank his neck. After hesitating for a few seconds, he bit his teeth and said: "What's to be afraid of? She's still in seclusion; how could she know?"
"Isn't Mousister still in seclusion?" Guan Wen smiled: "Mousister doesn't seem like Master Brother, who will be merciful to you~"
Thinking of that ice mountain-like terrifying existence, Zhao Shizhe's heart did truly have a slight tremble.
Although Mu Qingyue often closes herself off in seclusion, no disciple in the Five Families and Seven Schools dares to forget her presence.
Because at a young age, she had been bestowed with the title of "Sword Immortal".
Immortal of the Sword rather than Sage of the Sword.
This alone is enough to illustrate the terrifying talent and strength of Mu Qingyue on the path of swordsmanship.
After all, even the younger generation of the Number One Sword Sect, Linyuan Sword Sect, one of the Five Families, is also overshadowed by Master Mu!
Zhao Shizhe's expression changed for a while, and he looked at Lu Jin'an and asked: "Have you and Mou sister already become spiritual partners?"
Lu Jin'an looked at the gaze of Jiang Wuji and Guan Wen, who had also turned their attention, and said with a hint of helplessness, "Why do you think that Master Mu likes me?"
"Master Mu and I are classmates and have known each other since childhood. Is that not right?" Guan Wen smiled.
"Where is it right?" Lu Jin'an said helplessly: "I myself don't feel it, what can you sense?"
Guan Wen leaned on her chin and continued, "Moreover, Master Mu only calls you 'junior brother,' while she addresses us by our names directly. Isn't that obvious enough?"
Lu Jin'an shook his head: "This is just that you guys are too one-sided."
"So!" Zhao Shizhe looked at Lu Jin'an: "Master Mu can't control Master Brother, right?"
"You really have to take Master Brother to that kind of place, don't you!?" Guan Wen glared at him.
"Alright, I respect Master Brother's opinion." Zhao Shizhe looked at Lu Jin'an: "Master Brother, should you go tonight?"
After a few seconds of pondering, Lu Jin'an said: "Let's go take a look."
"Master Brother, you…"
"Alright!" Zhao Shizhe slapped his thigh, looking excited: "I'll send someone to arrange it. After the afternoon's selection and evaluation, we'll go listen to songs and watch dances at the Dreamy Mist Pavilion, then… Hey, it's so cold... Er..."
Chattering his teeth uncontrollably, Zhao Shizhe seemed to have remembered something terrifying and turned pale as he watched the snowflakes drift by.
Like a cold current sweeping through the air, within a hundred meters, the world was enveloped in a veil of thin mist in an instant, as if frozen.
"Where do you want to take my junior brother?"
