"Tang Clan, Heavenly Travel Palace?"
Lin Feng's eyes held a hint of curiosity. A tavern, yet called Heavenly Travel Palace—it was indeed quite domineering.
"When you arrive, you'll understand why it's called Heavenly Travel Palace."
Lan Jiao smiled without explaining, leading Lin Feng through the main avenues. After about half an hour, the two arrived before a white palace.
This white palace had nine floors, each floor narrower than the one below, forming a pagoda shape. Of course, its ground floor encompassed several miles of surrounding land, radiating majestic grandeur.
And on the eaves of the ninth floor, three large characters were carved—Heavenly Travel Palace.
"It truly is a palace."
Lin Feng said softly. Before him, this magnificent palace could hardly be encompassed by the word "tavern."
"The Tang Clan is the number one clan of the Dragon Mountain Empire, and Heavenly Travel Palace is one of the Tang Clan's landmarks. How could it not be dignified and grand? Let me tell you, the minimum requirement to enter Heavenly Travel Palace is cultivation at the Spirit Martial Realm, Fifth Layer or above, and age must be under thirty. Otherwise, except for members of the Tang Clan, no one else may set foot inside Heavenly Travel Palace even half a step."
Lan Jiao said with a smile, startling Lin Feng considerably. The Tang Clan, the number one clan of the Dragon Mountain Empire—their strength was likely far greater than the Yu Clan or Yue Clan of the Snow Moon Kingdom. Even the tavern they built only allowed those at Spirit Martial Realm, Fifth Layer or above to enter.
"Moreover, the wine in this tavern is astronomically priced. Even on the first floor, ordinary people can't afford to drink."
Lan Jiao added with a charming laugh, making Lin Feng even more eager to see what was so special about the Tang Clan's wine.
"Come on, let's go in."
Lin Feng said softly, lifting his steps and walking toward Heavenly Travel Palace.
Seeing Lin Feng's action, a sly smile appeared in Lan Jiao's eyes as she followed him into Heavenly Travel Palace.
The first floor of Heavenly Travel Palace was very spacious and wide. Inside, every wine table had people seated, all very young, yet the place was exceptionally quiet. Everyone spoke in hushed tones, as if afraid of disturbing others, or perhaps they were focused on savoring their wine.
Lin Feng swept his gaze across the crowd. Indeed, even the people on this first floor had considerable cultivation.
"Don't be fooled by how dignified and refined they pretend to be—all sanctimonious and elegant. They're just putting on airs, pretending here."
Lan Jiao laughed softly at Lin Feng, making no effort to conceal her voice. Instantly, Lin Feng felt countless gazes land directly on him, all carrying ill intent.
Lin Feng glared at Lan Jiao. Was this woman trying to stir up trouble?
"How rude of a woman," someone scolded. Several people in the tavern stood up, their gazes hostile.
"See? That's all the tolerance they have."
Lan Jiao laughed carelessly. Lin Feng shook his head helplessly. Seeing people approaching, a faint but imposing aura emanated from Lin Feng's body, and in an instant, those approaching footsteps froze.
Then, they all lowered their heads and returned to their seats. Those who had raised their heads in anger also bowed their heads, resuming their wine tasting as if nothing had happened.
The deterrence of strength was far more effective than words.
"Come on, let's go straight to the sixth floor."
Lan Jiao took Lin Feng's arm and headed directly for the stairs. Hearing her words, the crowd was slightly startled. The sixth floor—only those with Mysterious Martial Realm cultivation or above could enter there.
Given Lin Feng and Lan Jiao's ages, if they had already reached the Mysterious Martial Realm, that was quite impressive. No wonder the woman spoke so boldly.
Lin Feng followed Lan Jiao as they continuously ascended Heavenly Travel Palace. With each floor they climbed, he could feel the aura inside growing stronger. Just as Lan Jiao had told him, each floor of Heavenly Travel Palace had cultivation restrictions.
The sixth floor could only be entered by those at the Mysterious Martial Realm.
The seventh floor required Mysterious Martial Realm, Second Layer.
The eighth floor required Mysterious Martial Realm, Third Layer.
As for the highest, the ninth floor, the minimum cultivation to enter was Mysterious Martial Realm, Fourth Layer.
For youths under thirty, reaching the Mysterious Martial Realm, Fourth Layer was already quite rare. Moreover, not everyone who came to Heavenly Travel Palace was thirty—many were around twenty years old. If someone of that age could enter the ninth floor of Heavenly Travel Palace, that was somewhat terrifying. Even in Heavenly Dragon City, they would be considered outstanding young talents.
Upon reaching the sixth floor of Heavenly Travel Palace, the number of people had decreased significantly. In the spacious tavern hall, only seven or eight tables were occupied, and no one spoke, making it exceptionally quiet.
"Lin Feng, how about we taste a cup of wine here first?"
Lan Jiao smiled at Lin Feng. Lin Feng nodded. Having already reached the sixth floor of Heavenly Travel Palace, he hadn't yet tasted a single drop of wine from this number one tavern of Heavenly Dragon City. How could he not sample it?
The two came to a green sandalwood ancient table and sat facing each other. The table was carved with dragons and phoenixes, and in the center was a groove, its purpose unknown.
"Lin Feng, place a high-grade Origin Stone here."
Lan Jiao pointed at the groove and said to Lin Feng, startling him. Place a high-grade Origin Stone?
Though puzzled, Lin Feng still took out a high-grade Origin Stone and placed it in the groove of the green sandalwood table.
"Click, click..."
A soft sound came out. The moment the Origin Stone was placed in the groove, it sank downward, causing Lin Feng's eyes to focus. A secret compartment—this was actually a secret compartment.
Soon, another sound came out. The secret compartment groove rose from below, appearing before Lin Feng again. However, the Origin Stone in the groove was gone, replaced by a small bottle of wine.
"Oh?" Lin Feng's gaze focused. This secret compartment groove was quite magical. He placed an Origin Stone inside, and it was directly exchanged for wine.
"The wine on the sixth floor costs one high-grade Origin Stone per small bottle. Try it."
Lan Jiao poured a small cup of wine for Lin Feng, then poured one for herself, raising her cup to gesture to Lin Feng.
With a hint of curiosity, Lin Feng wanted to see what this astronomically priced wine—one high-grade Origin Stone per small bottle—tasted like.
Bringing the jade cup to his lips, Lin Feng sniffed it. There was no particularly special aroma. Then he poured the wine from the cup into his mouth and drank it all in one gulp.
"Hiss..."
As the wine went down, Lin Feng sharply sucked in a breath of cold air, feeling his five organs seething.
"Pfft..."
Lan Jiao laughed at Lin Feng, saying, "First time I've seen someone drink Blazing Essence Wine in one gulp. Idiot."
Lin Feng's face instantly turned bright red, burning hot. He looked at Lan Jiao's cup and saw that she had only taken a tiny sip, making him feel somewhat frustrated.
"How is this wine so intense?"
Lin Feng felt his internal organs churning, as if burning his blood and veins. The true essence power within his body seemed about to ignite, madly circulating through him, carrying a scorching heat that burned every inch of his meridians.
Everyone on this floor of the tavern cast strange glances at Lin Feng. Intense?
"What an idiot," a contemptuous voice came out. Looking at Lin Feng's flushed face, the speaker's tone was full of disdain.
"Indeed, an idiot who doesn't know when to stop," another person laughed, causing Lin Feng's gaze to focus. He coldly swept his eyes in that direction.
Lan Jiao, however, continued laughing softly. Seeing Lin Feng's state seemed to bring her great amusement.
"This is Blazing Essence Wine. It can ignite the true essence within your body, promoting the circulation of true essence power through your meridians to temper your physical body and veins. It's extremely beneficial for martial cultivators. You're supposed to sip it slowly, little by little, to continuously feel the mad flow of true essence power—it's countless times more effective than cultivation. But you, you drank it all in one gulp. Fortunately, your cultivation isn't weak, or your meridians wouldn't have been able to withstand this burning sensation."
Lan Jiao laughed softly, startling Lin Feng. What a strange and wonderful wine—it could even aid cultivation. No wonder it sold for the astronomical price of one high-grade Origin Stone.
It seemed that Heavenly Travel Palace, the number one tavern of Heavenly Dragon City, was not just famous in name alone. It truly had substance.
Within Lin Feng's body, true essence power circulated together with the Nine Revolutions Buddha-Demon Art, enveloping that mad surge of heat and slowly guiding it through his meridians. Only then did Lin Feng's complexion gradually ease.
Very comfortable. Now, he truly appreciated the goodness of this wine.
Lan Jiao seemed to notice Lin Feng's enjoyment and continued, "And this is only the sixth floor. The three floors above have even better wine."
"Even better wine." A glint of anticipation shone in Lin Feng's eyes. What kind of wine was on those three upper floors? He was eager to taste it.
"But Lin Feng, just now someone insulted you, calling you an idiot, a fool who doesn't know when to stop."
Lan Jiao laughed softly, her gaze casually drifting toward the two who had spoken earlier, deliberately provoking Lin Feng.
