The Two-Headed Lion-Tiger Grand Carriage driven by Fei Kui had once been the mount of the Black Buddha Lord. In the Yanluo Kingdom, it was as conspicuous as could be. However, upon arriving in the Weiyang Great Region, although it couldn't be said to be common as dirt, it was no longer as uniquely eye-catching as it had been in Yanluo. Even the luxurious and imposing grand carriage pulled by the two-headed lion-tiger seemed to become plain and unadorned after entering the Weiyang Great Region.
Immortal cranes were a common sight here.
There were also quite a few golden-horned unicorns.
Winged flying horses could be seen as well.
Occasionally, giant birds with wingspans of ten to twenty meters would streak across the sky.
The grand carriages being pulled behind them were each more luxurious than the last, their various dazzling lights so bright they could make your eyes water.
Truly worthy of being the world's foremost cultivation center, it was an eye-opening spectacle.
What made Fei Kui sigh even more was that back in Yanluo Kingdom, his Earth Immortal cultivation level might not have been top-tier, but at least he could call himself an Earth Immortal. Their numbers weren't few, but they were certainly not many either.
After arriving in the Weiyang Great Region, he discovered that the number of Earth Immortals here was truly staggering. Since entering the territory of the Weiyang Great Region, among the people he encountered, at least six out of ten were Earth Immortals. The remaining four, whose cultivation levels weren't high, all possessed great Fortune. It felt as if everyone in the Weiyang Great Region was practically an Earth Immortal.
What most astonished Fei Kui was that in his several hundred years of life, the number of times he had seen true Immortals could be counted on both hands. Yet, after coming to the Weiyang Great Region, in just this short while, he had actually run into over a dozen Immortals, more than he had seen in his entire centuries-long life.
This gave Fei Kui a feeling.
A feeling that he had truly wasted his life.
No wonder people said that the Divine Continent was a land where dragons and tigers hid, and the Weiyang Great Region was even more so a place where Immortals were everywhere.
This trip had truly broadened his horizons.
And it wasn't just him.
Even Gu Qingfeng, sitting inside the grand carriage, felt the same way.
In his memory, during the Ancient Times, although the Weiyang Great Region was also a cultivation center, prosperous and flourishing, it was far from reaching this level where immortal birds and spirit beasts filled the skies, and great Fortune and Immortals were found everywhere. The moment he stepped into the Weiyang Great Region, Gu Qingfeng even briefly wondered if he had somehow arrived in the Great Desolate Heavenly Realm.
This was simply too insane.
Thinking carefully, he had been gone for at most a little over three hundred years. The changes were truly too immense.
The Present Era, with one revival of all things, one descent of the Heavenly Mandate, and one manifestation of the Great Nature's Spiritual Colors, had truly propelled this world's cultivation civilization to a peak all at once. Even during the most prosperous period of the Ancient Times before the sun and moon fell, it probably couldn't compare to the present.
"Young Master, shall we head directly to the Shangqing Sect, or..."
"Since we've already arrived in the Weiyang Great Region, there's no rush for this moment. We've been traveling continuously for so many days; you must be tired. Let's find a place to rest for a few days first."
"Young Master, this humble one is not tired."
"Why can't you tell good from bad? You might not be tired, but your master is."
Gu Qingfeng was indeed a bit tired—tired from sitting in the grand carriage for so long. He jumped down from the carriage, stretched lazily, and asked, "Where is this place? It looks quite lively, and it seems somewhat familiar."
"Young Master, I heard from someone earlier that up ahead seems to be Food Immortal Town. How about we go there to rest our feet?"
"Oh? So that's why this place seems familiar. It turns out to be Food Immortal Town! A fine place indeed! Let's go."
Before Gu Qingfeng had ascended to the peerless throne of Immortal and Demon, and before he founded the Chixiao Sect, he had been a wanted fugitive by the Immortal Court and a notorious evil demon and criminal throughout the world.
Although he had managed to escape multiple sieges by the Immortal Court by sheer luck, there was one time, right here in the Weiyang Great Region, when his whereabouts were exposed. He was besieged by experts from all sides. Not only was his cultivation crippled, he nearly lost his life here. In the end, it was Elder Zhenjue of the Shangqing Sect who stepped forward and saved his life.
Pitying him, Elder Zhenjue withstood all pressure and took him in as a disciple. Thus, Gu Qingfeng had the fortune to cultivate at the Shangqing Sect for nine years.
Therefore.
He was no stranger to the Shangqing Sect, and even less so to the Weiyang Great Region.
Especially Food Immortal Town in the Weiyang Great Region.
Back when he was cultivating at the Shangqing Sect, he would visit Food Immortal Town every few days.
The reason was simple: because Food Immortal Town had the finest wine in the world and the most delicious food in the world.
The name Food Immortal Town had a long history.
It was said that a long, long time ago, there was an Odd One who, by a stroke of fortune, became a disciple under a certain Alchemy Immortal. This Odd One had exceptionally high talent. After cultivating for a very short time, he became a renowned master alchemist known throughout the world. Yet, he wasn't particularly interested in alchemy. Instead, he was far more fascinated by fine wines and delicacies. He always believed that even the best spiritual pills and miraculous medicines would leave side effects. Rather than that, it was better to start with the mouth, using gourmet food for conditioning.
Hence.
What he researched the most wasn't alchemy; he couldn't even be bothered with cultivation. All day long, he just studied various fine wines and delicacies.
The final result was predictable.
He failed his tribulation and was expelled from his master's sect.
That Odd One was unwilling to give up. He continued researching various fine wines and delicacies, using his own body for experimentation. Experimenting and conditioning himself like this, his efforts finally paid off. Using fine wine and gourmet food, he not only conditioned his body back to health but also stubbornly 'ate' his way to becoming a Loose Immortal.
Later, this Odd One passed on the Food Immortal recipes he had painstakingly developed to his descendants and went off to wander the world freely.
And his descendants passed it on to their descendants, and as it was passed down, it eventually gave rise to Food Immortal Town.
Legend has it that the people of Food Immortal Town are all descendants of that Odd One. The townsfolk hardly need to cultivate; just by drinking a little wine and eating delicious food every day, they can attain the Dao and become Immortals.
While this statement is somewhat exaggerated, it isn't far from the truth. At the very least, the people of Food Immortal Town start conditioning themselves with various gourmet foods from the womb. When they grow up, even if their innate talent is poor and they possess no great Fortune, they can still ultimately attain the Dao and become Immortals.
Moreover, having been passed down for so many years, it has been proven that the fine wines and delicacies of Food Immortal Town are indeed a mysterious, wondrous, and rare conditioning recipe for cultivation. They might not be as potent as those spiritual pills and great tonics, and their effects aren't as fast, but if you consume too many spiritual pills and miraculous medicines, it's like trying to make seedlings grow by pulling them upward—prone to causing problems. If you use the fine wines and delicacies of Food Immortal Town for conditioning, not only will it not be like pulling seedlings upward, but your cultivation also won't encounter any issues. The only drawback is that the effects are slow.
Of course.
People don't come to Food Immortal Town to enjoy fine wine and delicacies hoping to rely on these things to boost their own cultivation.
Most come for the reputation of Food Immortal Town.
And also because the wine of Food Immortal Town is truly fine wine. One sip will absolutely intoxicate your soul. The flavors are truly delicious. One bite makes you crave a second; it will absolutely make you linger and forget to leave.
Almost all cultivators in the Weiyang Great Region have cultivated their way up while drinking the wine and eating the delicacies of Food Immortal Town. Cultivators from various great regions across the Divine Continent also come seeking its fame. Some old-timers who have been in seclusion for many years, upon emerging, make their first stop Food Immortal Town, just to have a sip of that authentic old wine.
