A blind man cultivates immortality and witnesses the great secret of the holy maiden in her bridal c

Liu Qingxia leaned against Chen Yang, serving him food while whispering, "Chen Yang, the family that came in for dinner this time is no ordinary family."

Chen Yang was taken aback and asked, "How did you know? You know this family?"

Liu Qingxia whispered, "Of course! Your eyes aren't very good. Didn't you see that there were more than 20 caged carts behind that family? The carts were full of demonic beasts, and those were all tamed! Their family is the only remaining beast tamer family in our Great Ming Kingdom!"

Chen Yang had never heard of this before. He asked Liu Qingxia, "So, their family must be very powerful? Since they can even control demonic beasts, their combat strength must be very strong, right?"

Liu Qingxia thought for a moment and said, "Anyway, they used to be very strong, but now, I heard they've declined. The reason for their decline seems to be that those demonic beasts ate too much, and they couldn't afford to feed them. The powerful demonic beasts all died, leaving only some half-dead ones who barely survived. In addition, more than 50 years ago, a group of very powerful beast tamers in their family died in border battles. Anyway, that led to the Gu family's dramatic decline."

Chen Yang realized that the so-called beast tamers weren't that strong. The most crucial thing was that they could be eaten out of house and home by monsters, which showed that making money was still very difficult.

Liu Qingxia couldn't help but laugh and said, "After the Gu family fell into decline, it's said that they couldn't sell the monsters they owned, but they couldn't afford to feed them if they didn't sell them. As a result, they could only open a circus and a zoo to barely make some money from the monsters."

The two ate and talked. Chen Yang, however, was lost in thought, his mind entirely on the young woman from the Gu family not far away.

It wasn't because the young woman was beautiful, but because the spiritual energy fluctuations emanating from the treasure at her waist made Chen Yang feel something was off.

Chen Yang's current Aura Detection Technique is extremely proficient, reaching a perfect level, and he can clearly distinguish the aura of treasures.

The treasure at the young woman's waist possessed a spiritual energy purity that even surpassed that of a top-grade spiritual artifact!

At this moment, a waiter came out carrying a huge jar and went to the middle of the inn. He opened the jar, and a rich aroma of wine wafted out, a scent that was both fragrant and mixed with a hint of blood.

"Could this be realgar wine brewed from the internal organs of demonic beasts?" someone exclaimed.

The waiter chuckled and said, "Sir, you certainly have a wide knowledge! This wine is our shop's prized possession. Once the smell of blood has dissipated, we'll each have a bowl for free!"

After saying that, the waiter walked to the side, stuck a meter-long incense stick into the incense burner, took out a flint, clicked it, lit the incense, and casually explained, "This smoke can eliminate the fishy smell of realgar wine."

After saying that, the waiter turned and walked to the back.

Chen Yang frowned, his eyes fixed on the waiter—he could clearly sense that the waiter was already a cultivator at the peak of the Blood Exchange Realm!

How could a cultivator of this level possibly work as a mere ordinary shop assistant here?

The people in the inn clearly didn't notice anything unusual; they were all talking about realgar wine, and the atmosphere became even more lively.

Chen Yang stroked his chin, knowing something was wrong.

Just then, the smoke from the long incense stick rose gently, mingling with the fishy smell of realgar wine.

The next moment, after the two auras merged, they instantly changed, transforming into a faint fragrance.

Chen Yang stood up abruptly!

He could clearly feel that the faint fragrance produced after the two scents collided could actually dissipate one's spiritual energy and make one feel weak all over!

No one else noticed anything unusual, including the cautious members of the Gu family.

Although they had carefully examined the food, drinks, and surrounding environment, they never imagined that the combination of these two smells could produce a toxic effect.

It was only because Chen Yang's ability to conceal his aura and detect changes was so powerful that he could clearly perceive the change in scent!

Chen Yang stood up, and with a swish, the Twilight Sword in his hand slashed at the meter-long incense stick!

With a snap, the incense stick broke and fell to the ground.

Chen Yang stepped forward and stomped the stomp out, and everyone in the inn turned to look at him.

Chen Yang frowned and said, "This is a shady establishment! They deliberately lit this incense to dissipate everyone's spiritual energy! Just smell the fragrance and feel the changes in your spiritual energy!"

Upon hearing Chen Yang's words, the people in the inn quickly sniffed and carefully sensed the changes within their bodies.

At this moment, an elder of the Gu family suddenly stood up, frowning as he said, "It's the Soul-Dissolving Incense! I wonder which friend is playing such a joke, actually poisoning so many of us?"

The members of the Gu family all stood up, picked up their weapons, and prepared for a major battle.

There were three other tables of customers eating normally in the inn. When they saw this, they quickly moved to a corner. They all realized that something was wrong.

Just then, several sinister laughs rang out.

Then, with a series of "whoosh" sounds, five figures landed in the lobby on the first floor—the five Golden Body Realm cultivators who had been hiding on the second floor!

When the elder of the Gu family saw that five Golden Body Realm experts had appeared at the same time, his face turned pale. He frowned and stood in front of the young woman from the Gu family.

The five Golden Core Realm experts merely smiled coldly, completely ignoring the Gu family elder.

The leader had dyed blond hair, a high nose, and deep-set eyes, giving him a somewhat exotic look. His name was Jin Yongcheng, and he was the leader of these five Golden Body Realm cultivators.

After giving the Gu family elders a disdainful look, Jin Yongcheng turned to Chen Yang and Liu Qingxia, and said with a sneer, "This friend is quite unfamiliar. I wonder who he is, daring to ruin my plans here?"

Chen Yang said calmly, "We're just here to eat. You're such a jerk, always trying to play the victim. My wife and I are enjoying our meal here, and you suddenly try to poison us? What kind of logic is that?"

Hearing Chen Yang's disrespectful attitude, Jin Yongcheng sneered, "You blind bastard! Since you're courting death, I'll kill you first!"

Then, Jin Yongcheng looked at the Gu family members and chuckled, saying, "Originally, I was planning to use the Soul-Dissolving Incense to knock you all out, saving you from fear and physical pain. But unexpectedly, these fools have ruined my plans! Since that's the case, don't blame us for being rough; we'll just have to cut off your feet and take you to the capital!"

At this moment, Gu Yingqing, the young woman from the Gu family standing behind them, spoke up: "My lords, is there some misunderstanding here? Our Gu family has always been law-abiding and discreet. We don't know what we did to provoke such a furious reaction from you five Golden Body Realm experts?"

Jin Yongcheng sneered and said, "Beautiful lady, you didn't provoke me. Even if you did, I wouldn't hold it against you because you're so pretty and have such big breasts. But your husband is different—he stole my position! If it weren't for him, the position of Nine Gates Admiral would be mine now! But it doesn't matter, let him sit in that position for a few days, then I'll tie you up and take you to the capital. I'll let him watch his wife and son lying under my dagger, and I'll see if he chooses the position of Nine Gates Admiral or to be my dog!"

Kim Young-sung laughed loudly, and the four men behind him also laughed sinisterly.

"That Zhang Hengyang guy really has no self-awareness whatsoever. He's all alone; does he really think he can hold onto the position of Commander of the Nine Gates?"

"That's the folly of these peasant rogue cultivators. Do they really think they can defy fate and change their destiny just because they got lucky? They've transcended class!"

"A lowly commoner, with a bit of talent and having saved His Majesty once, dreams of rising to the top in one step, becoming the Commander of the Nine Gates, and ruling over all the cultivators in the capital. Hahaha, how laughable!"

"Zhang Hengyang doesn't even consider that his individual efforts could possibly surpass the accumulated wealth of three generations of our powerful families? It's both pathetic and laughable!"

The five Golden Realm experts completely disregarded the people in the inn.

Clearly, in their eyes, Chen Yang and his ilk would soon become mute corpses.
