The seven-storey Sky Tower was one of the most renowned restaurants in Sky Saint City. It was decorated lavishly both inside and outside, with a hexagonal roof that was extremely symmetrical. There was basically no deviation at all. If one were to stand on the roof, they would be able to see that there were countless runes engraved on it. With the six corners of the roof as the base, they formed an energy gathering array. The surrounding world's Yuan Qi was all absorbed by the array and poured into the entire building.
The exterior of the Sky Universe Tower was cleverly engraved with countless runes. Without affecting its aesthetics, the Origin Qi absorbed by the Yuan Gathering Formation on the roof was completely locked within the tower. It could be said that the entire Sky Universe Tower was the masterpiece of a powerful formation master.
Such a lavishly built restaurant was naturally not something that an ordinary martial artist could afford. The martial artists that came here were all wealthy individuals. The price of the restaurant increased from the first floor to the seventh floor. The seventh floor was the closest to the Yuan Gathering Array, so the price was even more sky-high. If one wanted to enter the seventh floor, besides having enough money, one also needed to have a certain status.
At this moment, in a corner of the hall on the first floor of the Sky Universe Tower, two young men were currently seated. One of them wore a white robe, giving off a warm and refined feeling, while the other had a large stature. Even though he was just sitting there without moving, he gave off a faint pressure.
Without a doubt, the two of them were Lu Xuan and Ao Ze. A day ago, the people of the Anying Hall and Nangong family had all moved to the vicinity of Sky Saint City. Whether it was the Anying Hall or the Nangong family, they were all familiar with Sky Saint City. However, as it was the first time Lu Xuan had come to the territory of the Eight Directional Sacred Hall, he knew nothing about Sky Saint City. As a result, Lu Xuan decided to take a look in Sky Saint City before he did anything. After strolling around the city, he came to the famous Sky Tower to have a seat.
The first floor of the Sky Tower was the busiest place. Because of its great fame, many cultivators would come here to have a meal as a topic of conversation. Although the prices on the first floor were much higher than the other restaurants, it was still within an acceptable range. As a result, most people who had a certain amount of wealth but were not too rich would choose the first floor of the Sky Tower.
"The taste of the food here is average. It doesn't seem any better. But the wine is not bad," Ao Ze said as he ate the dishes on the table without caring about his image.
Lu Xuan laughed: "This is only the first floor, the business target is mainly the general public, after all, the people who come here are not really big shots, how good can the things be? If you want to truly experience the wonders of the Sky Universe Tower, I estimate that you have to go to at least the third floor."
"Haha, this little brother is right. Most of the people who come to the first level have come because of its reputation, and spend some money to increase their conversation. How would they know that if they want to experience the wonders of this Sky Universe Tower, they have to at least go to the third level and above. The first level is not much different from an ordinary restaurant." At this moment, a green-clothed old man sitting beside Lu Xuan chuckled as he spoke.
Lu Xuan did not expect to meet a stranger striking up a conversation. Immediately, he smiled and said: "I believe that senior has been to the third level and above?"
The green-clothed old man stroked his beard and said with a smile: "I have been to the fourth level once. Aside from the density of Yuan Qi far surpassing the first level, the ingredients on the fourth level cannot be compared to the first level. There are all sorts of rare spirit beast meat, and the head chef is also a fourth grade spirit chef. The amount of Spiritual Qi used up in the dishes is extremely small, maintaining the Spiritual Qi in the meat and ensuring the freshness of the taste. It is indeed not bad."
Ao Ze put down his chopsticks and glanced at the old man: "Since you said it was so good, why are you on this level now?"
The green-clothed old man laughed: "This old man is not a rich person who can go to the fourth level to enjoy every meal. Normally, I spend the majority of my time on the first level. Moreover, who said that one must go to the fourth level just because the fourth level is good? In this old man's eyes, this little brother is not an ordinary person. He definitely does not lack money. Isn't he also on the first level now? "
Lu Xuan smiled, but a trace of vigilance rose in his heart. After all, he did not know the identity of this old man. If the old man sensed something, it would be difficult for him to escape now that he was alone in Heavenly Saint City.
"Senior, you have misjudged me this time. Although I am indebted to the protection of my ancestors and my days are not short of money, it is impossible for me to spend a large sum of money just to enjoy it once. Moreover, this Sky Universe Tower is only famous. If you have the money to go to the fourth level, you might as well buy some pills and spirit materials and spend it on cultivation." Lu Xuan said indifferently.
"Yes, yes." The green-clothed old man laughed even more happily and said: "Normally, this old man has seen many young people who desire to enjoy themselves. It is rare to see someone like little brother who does not desire to enjoy himself and focuses on cultivation."
Lu Xuan only smiled when he heard the old man's compliment. He did not reply and picked up his glass to drink in silence. The meaning behind his actions was very clear — he did not want to talk anymore. Usually, when the other party saw such an action, they would know better than to keep their mouths shut.
However, this time, Lu Xuan miscalculated. The green-clothed old man acted as if he did not see Lu Xuan's action and continued to smile: "From what little brother said just now, you don't seem to be someone from Heavenly Saint City, right?"
Hearing this, Lu Xuan frowned imperceptibly. This old man's senses were a bit too sharp. Normally, even if a stranger felt that the other party was fated to speak a few words, the topic would not continue. However, this old man followed up with the Serpent Punishing Stick, and the more they talked, the deeper they went.
Lu Xuan could not help but think of a type of person, an existence like the Anying Hall of the Jiuhua Alliance. In fact, Jiuhua City was filled with Jiuhua Alliance's hidden sentries. They were scattered throughout the city, keeping an eye on any suspicious person. They would also take the initiative to talk to those suspicious people and investigate their identity and purpose, protecting the peace of the Jiuhua Alliance. It could be said that one was in the light and the other was in the dark. What this old man displayed today, was it not exactly the same characteristics as these hidden sentries?
Thinking of this, Lu Xuan's vigilance suddenly increased. He secretly sent a message to Ao Ze, telling him to watch his words. Then, Lu Xuan opened his mouth to answer the old man's question. Since the old man had asked, if Lu Xuan did not answer, it would make it even more suspicious.
"Hehe, Senior's eyes are like torches. I am from Red Flame City. A few days ago, something big happened there, so I had no choice but to move to Heavenly Saint City," Lu Xuan said with a smile.
"Oh, Red Flame City." The old man smacked his lips and nodded: "I heard that Red Flame City was bombed by the Nangong family. Tsk tsk, the Nangong family is very bold. Red Flame City is their headquarters, but they were willing to activate the self-destruct array, causing the Fang family to suffer a great loss. May I know which family in Red Flame City you are from, little brother? This old man likes to travel around, so I am not unfamiliar with Red Flame City. Perhaps I even know little brother's elders. "
Lu Xuan cursed inwardly when he heard that. He was now 80% certain that this old man was most likely a hidden spy from the Sikong Clan. Otherwise, he wouldn't have asked so many questions. Lu Xuan would naturally be able to ignore any ordinary person, but this old man was different. Once he revealed some flaws and allowed the old man to catch him, he would be done for if the old man were to use the power of the Sikong Clan to capture him and interrogate him.
