The Ethereal Domains

Chapter 1704: Liquor of Martial World

Liquor of Martial World . . .

The man in black clothes wasn't forbidden to answer these questions. However, if his answers eventually led to any troubles to the town, he became a traitor of the Black Town.

"One last question." Cha-Eun Xiao gave the man another ten purple spirit coins.

The man looked pretty bad now. He seemed exhausted, but he still took over the coins.

'Where the hell does this baby with a million questions come from?'

'He asked about the traps in the Black Town… even the ambush plans of the town.'

'I have to tell him the truth… I made a vow that I would only answer the truth. If I take the money and lie to him, I will be condemned by the heaven's will…'

'This is the first time in my life that somebody keeps asking me questions.'

'Is he here to show off?'

'He is definitely rich, but that is his own business. Why does he have to show off here? Is this acceptable?'

"One more question? What is the question? Go ahead." The man sounded powerless.

"Are there many treasures in the Black Town?" Cha-Eun Xiao gently smiled.

"Treasures?" The man in black clothes blinked. Suddenly, he looked at Cha-Eun Xiao and smirked evilly. "There are more treasures in the town than you can imagine!"

"Is that so? Great!" Cha-Eun Xiao nodded and said, "Thank you so much for your answers!"

As Cha-Eun Xiao and the others had already left for the Black Town, the man in black clothes still hadn't realized what really happened. The last ten purple spirit coins were still in his hand. He didn't even put them into the pocket.

'He has asked me a lot of questions. After the last question, he actually said thank you to me.'

'What does that mean? What is so great?'

"Do not make any reckless moves. It is not the time yet." The Flower King talked to Cha-Eun Xiao through mind connection. "I said it earlier. The Black Town is small, but powerful forces in the Limitless Ocean have been sending their men over. There are many powerful men hiding in this place. Many of them are top-class. I stopped improving for many years. I am not sure if I can deal with the powerful cultivators in this place… In the past one hundred thousand years, there are three places in the Limitless Ocean that have always been peaceful. The Mortal World Valley is the first. The City of Chaos is the second. This town is the third."

People knew Cha-Eun Xiao as the One Meter Higher Sky for a reason. The Flower King knew why Cha-Eun Xiao asked those questions.

"You should have the power to sense that there are less than twenty people in this town. However, nobody ever dares to make trouble in this place, even though it is so close to the center of the Limitless Ocean… That should be enough to warn us something.

"There are a lot of treasures in the Black Town. I know it is true. This place is full of fortunes. However, no matter how badly you want to do this, don't… Even if I am at my prime days, I wouldn't want to fight the Black Town. Even though you can defeat the people who guarded this town, you must know there is a huge force behind these men…

"All in all, the Black Town is an iron board that we can't just easily break."

Cha-Eun Xiao said, "I understand, Brother Flower King. I know you are a steady-going person. As a matter of fact, I just want to collect information. Well, I may take some time to… You know… It was such a surprise that the man liked to answer every question… It is always better to know more… If it helps, that would be great. If it doesn't, it wouldn't hurt."

The Flower King nodded.

The three of them walked side by side, heading to the center of the Black Town.

The first house they saw was a tavern.

As they saw the tavern, they were impressed by the look of it. Every tavern had a signboard. Normally, the signboard was black with golden writing, or silver writing, or at least yellow writing, because it gave the impression of wealth.

However, this tavern's signboard was in white color, and the writing was in bloody red.

Liquor of Martial World!

That was the name of this tavern!

Cha-Eun Xiao had traveled the world for a long time, but he was surprised by the name of this tavern. 'Isn't it too explicit and frank?'

There were couplets on both sides of the door, which were written in red color as well.

The first line said, 'Grace or enmity, let's get drunk here first!'

The second line said, 'Life or death, three cups of liquor first!

The handwriting almost illegible but in a good way, like the dance of dragons and phoenix!

"Liquor of Martial World!" Cha-Eun Xiao stood at the door and looked at the couplets. He breathed a long sigh and said, "Good couplets! Good liquor!"

The Flower King stared at the couplets for a long time as well, and he frowned with anxiety.

"The paint on the signboard and the couplets… The white paint… It is the blood of some Divine Centipedes which are at least a hundred thousand years old. The Divine Centipede is a level-nine spiritual beast. A ten thousand years old Divine Centipede has green blood. A thirty thousand years old one has red blood. When it is ninety thousand years old, the blood becomes purple. If it is a hundred thousand years old, the blood became pure white. The color will never fade as the paint.

"A one hundred thousand years old Divine Centipede is a level-twelve top-class spiritual beast, which means it is as powerful as a cultivator in the Undead Stage. A spiritual beast at such a level is completely a precious treasure, but it is extremely difficult to kill!

"The red paint must be the blood of a Gray Dragon with seven feet. The Gray Dragon only has two feet when it was born. Every ten thousand years, it grew one more leg. If it gets eight legs, it becomes the Eight-feet Divine Dragon, which is a spiritual beast beyond this world.

"When the Gray Dragon has seven feet, it is only one step away from becoming the magnificent Eight-feet Divine Dragon. If it gets killed when it is so close to success, it will be furious, full of grudge, and that makes its blood forever red. A Gray Dragon with seven feet is also as powerful as an Undead Stage cultivator. It is not easy to hunt it and kill it!

"The tavern used the blood of the Divine Centipede and the blood of the Gray Dragon to make the signboard and the couplets…"

The Flower King took a deep breath and said, "Liquor of Martial World… This liquor does not seem to be some easy drinks. I am afraid it is not easy for us to enjoy the time in this place."

Cha-Eun Xiao blandly said, "People make tough choices in the martial world. Liquor of Martial World should be served to the people in the martial world."

The three of them had been standing at the door for quite some time, but they didn't hear anything from the other side of the door.

The door seemed like a huge mouth of an ancient monster, waiting for a chance to swallow them!

When Cha-Eun Xiao stepped into the tavern, he realized he made a wrong judgment.

In the Liquor of Martial World, it was another space.

As he entered the door, the bright light dazzled his eyes. The tavern was bright like daytime.

As he looked carefully, he found that there were luminous pearls all over the roof.

Every single luminous pearl was as big as a bowl.

He thought the tavern was about a hundred feet wide, but when he got into it, it turned out to be a one thousand feet wide space! People were having their drinks on some tables.

They were talking so loudly, but nobody else heard them except their own men at the same table.

Nobody disturbed anybody.

The three of them picked a free table, and two young men in white clothes politely came over. "My honorable guests, what can I do for you? Is there anything you need?"

The two young men looked tall and beautiful. It could be told from their behavior that they had been strictly trained for this. They were wearing clean and white clothes, which gave a good impression to the customers.

The tavern looked dirty and low from the outside, but inside, it was so clean and bright. That was a strong visual impact indeed!

Cha-Eun Xiao said, "This is my first time to come here. I wonder what specialties you have for us. Why don't you give me your menu?"

A young man in white clothes came over and gave Cha-Eun Xiao a menu. The menu was white, and the handwriting was neat. It didn't seem so special, but it was special indeed.

"My honorable guest, it costs ten purple spirit coins to look at the menu."

Cha-Eun Xiao was surprised. "Do I need to pay for this too?"

"That's correct. Our menus are one-time products. After you, nobody else is going to have this menu in your hand again. You can leave with the menu or just leave it here with your name on it. If you want us to keep it, there is an extra cost of ten purple spirit coins."

"Oh, if you want the menu with your name on it to be more eye-catching, we only charge one thousand purple spirit coins to put it on the wall. In that case, you can write anything you want on the menu, like a poem."

The young man in white clothes politely said.

Cha-Eun Xiao was a bit lost. 'What the hell is this all about? I am paying ten purple spirit coins to look at the menu, and another ten purple spirit coins to give the menu back to you? If I want to write something on the menu, I have to pay one thousand purple spirit coins! What the hell? This is ridiculous!'

Cha-Eun Xiao looked around and he did see some menus sticking on the wall. Some of them were covered with black silk.

"People die in the martial world. Those menus under the black silk belong to our honorable guests who are dead… Although they have left the living world, we won't take their menus off. We just put it on the black silk with respect and tribute."

The man in white clothes explained.

"Well, then." Cha-Eun Xiao was wordless.

He was so impressed by how the tavern ran the business in such an unbelievable way.

When he came to the tavern, he decided to give up the thought about ransacking this town.

However, now he had another idea.

"What a splendid idea! Even a bird makes a sound when it flies over the sky. It must be my destiny that leads me here. I should definitely leave my name in this tavern. You guys will witness the beginning of a legend! One thousand purple spirit coins it is!" Cha-Eun Xiao laughed and said, "Bring me the pen and the ink!"

The young man in white clothes slightly twisted the lips. 'Another moron again… The beginning of a legend? Oh, yes. I wonder how far can you go before you die out there…'

He must have seen too many stupid rich men in this tavern.

He had seen several within the year…

Every youngster who just started their journey to the martial world believed that he was the chosen one… who was bound to leave his great name in history…

No matter what the man thought, he must quickly bring back the ink and pen for Cha-Eun Xiao with a warm smile.

Cha-Eun Xiao nodded and started to write on the menu.

"The Xiao Monarch, who stirs up the chaotic storms in the world, will become the supremacy of the world. With the sword in his hand, he is leaving his name in this place of the Limitless Ocean!"

In the end, he wrote down his name followed by the date.

That was it.

After that, he started to order food.

Cha-Eun Xiao was still young, and he still had a playful heart. Leaving this menu with his writings here was more like a joke he made, but many years after, this menu would become the most famous scenic spot of the Limitless Ocean!

Nobody had thought that the great Xiao Monarch left his only handwriting with a full signature in this small tavern in the Liquor of Martial World!

After he conquered the entire universe, the owner of the Black Town kept this menu and put it on somewhere well-marked, and worshiped it like it was their great ancestors…

People who had the chance to pay respect to the menu would always bow humbly and go to the tavern and order the same things Cha-Eun Xiao ate.

On the first page of the menu, there was the first dish, which had become famous.

'A Sword in Martial World.'

"With the sword in hand, the journey to the world begins! That is nice! I will take one!"

The second dish was Grace and Enmity.

"That is the spirit of the martial world! Nice! Bring it on!"

The third was Fight with Life and Death!

"That is something essential in the martial world! Good! Give me one!"

The fourth dish was Tangle in the Mortal World.

"Good! I will take this one!"

After ordering over twenty dishes on the menu, Cha-Eun Xiao saw the name of a special dish. He was touched.

It was Supreme Rosy Cheek.

"This is such a good name. I will take it too!"

He had ordered over twenty dishes, and the cheapest one of them cost fifty purple spirit coins. The most expensive dish was actually nine hundred and ninety-nine purple spirit coins. It cost him over seven thousand purple spirit coins to have these dishes!

In the end, he added one more dish. It was soup, and he liked its name.

The Tangle of Red and Green.

He was going to meet Xuan Bing and Jun Yinglian again. The Tangle of Red and Green somehow reminded him of the happy times, so he ordered it as well.

The Flower King frowned because Cha-Eun Xiao obviously ordered much more than they needed. Cha-Eun Xiao didn't care, he just waved his hand and said, "Bring them up!"

The young waiters in white clothes were shocked by such a prodigal guest.

Every dish in the Liquor of Martial World was thousands of times more expensive than the same dishes in other places.

There were always rich people who came to this tavern, but nobody would really order so many dishes at the same time.

Liquor of Martial World wouldn't worry if the guests could pay for the bill or not, because the guests would have to pay before the dishes were served… Nobody was going to have a free meal at this place!

When the dishes were up, Cha-Eun Xiao realized that he was deceived.
