The Purple Smoke Tower.
This was the only restaurant in the Feng Sect. It was huge, luxurious, and grand.
Inside a certain private room.
The place was bustling with noise and excitement.
The dozens of Feng Sect disciples were mingling with each other. Only Wutian was sitting in a corner, drinking by himself. He was silent and seemed out of place.
During this time, everyone was curious about him and asked him all kinds of questions.
But basically, Wutian just smiled and didn't say anything, or used his memory loss as an excuse.
After hitting a wall too many times, these people slowly gave up and went to play on their own.
Half an hour later.
A gentle and elegant middle-aged man walked into the Purple Smoke Tower.
It was Du Ji.
A staff member hurried over and said with a smile, "Elder Du, how come you have time to come to the Purple Smoke Tower today?"
Du Ji asked, "Where's Wutian?"
The staff member said, "They're in private room number ten on the third floor. I'll take you there."
Du Ji shook his head, "No need, I can go up myself. Bring me a bottle of Purple Smoke Divine Wine."
The staff member smiled, "Elder Du, Purple Smoke Divine Wine is very expensive."
Du Ji smiled, "I won ten Immortal Spirit Flowers today. I have to thank my friend."
The staff member nodded, "That's true. No matter how expensive Purple Smoke Divine Wine is, it can't be compared to Immortal Spirit Flowers. Elder Du, you've really earned a lot this time. I'll go get it now. Please wait a moment."
Du Ji nodded.
A while later.
That staff member held a decent-sized wine jar and returned to Du Ji's side. He smiled and said, "Elder, I wish you a good time drinking."
Du Ji smiled and went to the third floor with the bottle.
But at the corner of the stairs on the second floor, he looked around and saw that there was no one around. He put the bottle on the ground and opened the lid.
Then.
He took out a thumb-sized jade bottle from his chest. There was an unknown liquid inside.
Then.
He poured all of the liquid in the jade bottle into the wine jar, and then put the lid back on the jar without any changes.
Du Ji lowered his head and stared blankly at the wine jug for a moment. Then, he let out a deep sigh filled with helplessness.
Then, he picked up the wine jug and shook it a few times, whispering, "Wutian, you can only blame yourself for being too high-profile and greedy. Otherwise, you would've been able to live a little longer."
Taking a deep breath, he walked up to the third floor and arrived in front of Pavilion 10 with ease. He pushed open the door and entered.
Glancing at the dozens of disciples, he walked straight towards Wutian who was in the corner and asked with a smile, "Brother Wutian, are you satisfied with the food and wine here?"
"Greetings, Elder Du."
The dozens of disciples stopped fooling around and bowed.
Du Ji pretended to be angry and said, "You brats can't do it. You actually left Brother Wutian here and only know how to play by yourself."
"Elder, you misunderstood. We did call Senior Wutian, but he wasn't willing to play with us."
"That's right, that's right. Besides, Senior Wutian is mature and steady. He won't be able to play with us."
The disciples hurriedly defended themselves.
"Alright, I'm just joking with you. You can continue!"
As Du Ji spoke, he walked to Wutian's side and gently placed the wine jug on the table. Then, he sat beside Wutian.
"That's the Purple Smoke Divine Brew!"
When they saw the wine jug, the dozens of disciples' eyes lit up and they all gathered around.
"Elder Du, you're willing to buy a jug of Purple Smoke Divine Brew that costs 100 Chaos Divine Pith. You're so generous."
"Does everyone who sees it get a share?"
"I've been in the sect for so long, but I've never drunk it before!"
"Elder Du, you can't be so biased!"
…
Du Ji glanced at everyone and his eyes were filled with helplessness. He waved his hand and said, "This is specially prepared for Brother Wutian. If you want to drink, buy it yourselves."
"But it's so expensive."
A fat man looked at Du Ji pitifully.
"Didn't you guys win a lot too? Hurry up and leave. If you guys continue like this, I'll be angry. "
Du Ji rolled his eyes and said with a dark face.
The disciples of the Feng Sect pursed their lips and were very unwilling.
Du Ji shook his head in amusement and turned to Wutian. "The disciples of the sect are a little naughty. Brother Wutian, please don't laugh at us."
Wutian said with a smile, "I think they're quite fun."
"They are, but sometimes they make people angry. Alright, let's not talk about them. Let's try this Purple Smoke Divine Brew. This is the signature wine of the Purple Smoke Tower. Just one jug of it costs 100 Chaos Divine Pith. If I didn't win ten Holy Spirit Flowers today, I wouldn't be willing to buy it."
As Du Ji spoke, he opened the lid. A strong aroma of wine immediately filled the air.
"Gulp."
The disciples nearby couldn't help but swallow their saliva when they smelled the wine.
Wutian said, "Brother Du, why don't we all drink together? I'm not that interested in wine anyway."
The dozens of disciples nodded and looked at Wutian with gratitude.
Du Ji shook his head and said, "That won't do. Rules are rules. How about this, after we finish drinking, if there's still some left, we'll let them have a taste too."
Hearing this.
The dozens of disciples immediately beamed with joy, looking forward to it.
Du Ji poured two cups and placed one in front of Wutian. He said with a smile, "Brother, have a taste."
He also picked up a cup and placed it at the tip of his nose. He took a deep breath and said with a face full of enjoyment and intoxication, "I'll never get tired of drinking this wine."
Wutian placed it at the tip of his nose and sniffed. His eyes glittered.
He took a sip and was surprised. The taste of the Purple Smoke Divine Brew was comparable to the Monkey Wine.
No wonder the Purple Smoke Tower was selling it at such a high price.
A jug of one hundred Chaos Divine Pith. Not many people could afford it.
Seeing Wutian take a small sip, the smile on Du Ji's face became even bigger.
"Huh? Something's not right!"
Wutian's heart skipped a beat as a bone-piercing chill swept across his heart.
When the wine entered his stomach, there was only a mellow taste and nothing else. But soon, strands of black substance came out of the wine and merged into his blood at a very fast speed.
"What's that?"
Wutian remained calm and collected. His mind sank into his body. He imprisoned a wisp of black matter and carefully studied it.
He soon found that the black substance contained deadly poison!
Du Ji had poisoned him!
Wutian's heart sank.
Luckily, the poison wasn't as strong as the Blood of Hell and couldn't pose a threat to him.
"I really can't trust anyone easily. If it was someone else today, it would have been disastrous."
Wutian mumbled.
Luckily, he had swallowed the Innate Spirit Embryo of the Ancient Heavenly Scorpion and had a certain immunity to the poison. Otherwise, he would have suffered a lot today.
But what should he do next?
Turn hostile?
Or endure it for now?
Seeing Wutian remain silent for a while, Du Ji was a bit confused. He smiled and said, "Brother Wu, how's the taste?"
"Not bad."
Wutian nodded and drank it all. He then looked at the untouched cup in Du Ji's hand and asked half-jokingly, "Brother Du, why aren't you drinking? Is there poison in the wine? "
The moment he said that …
Du Ji's expression was clearly flustered. However, he calmed down quickly and smiled. "I bought this jar of wine specifically to serve you. Come, come, come, I'll fill it up for you."
Wutian smiled and downed the wine cup, asking, "Brother Du, I've always had a question in my heart. Can you answer it for me?"
"Go ahead."
Du Ji smiled.
Wutian asked, "What's the level of the seal around the city?"
Du Ji froze for a moment and asked in confusion, "Why are you asking that?"
Wutian smiled. "I'm purely curious. If you can't tell me, I won't force you."
Du Ji replied, "It's not a secret so there's nothing to hide. The seal around the city is a Grade 4 Eternal Universe Divine Seal. However, it's infinitely close to the legendary Grade 5 Eternal Universe Divine Seal. Even if it's struck with full force from a perfected Eternal Universe Divine Seal, it won't be destroyed in a short period of time."
Wutian's pupils constricted – this was truly bad news.
If it was an ordinary Grade 4 Eternal Universe Divine Seal, the Root of All Evil would have been destroyed in a matter of minutes.
It seemed like he had to think of another way.
That's right!
Old Feng was a Grade 4 Eternal Universe Divine Seal. Wouldn't it be fine if he refined an Unsealing Talisman?
The meaning of an Unsealing Talisman was different.
No matter how terrifying the seal was.
No matter if it was infinitely close to a Grade 5 Eternal Universe Divine Seal.
As long as it was at the same level, it could be broken instantly.
Wutian had a plan in his heart. He secretly informed Old Feng and leisurely drank this jar of poisoned wine under Du Ji's gaze.
At the beginning.
Du Ji was still full of smiles, but gradually, a trace of suspicion appeared in his eyes.
Logically speaking, after drinking this kind of poisoned wine, the poison would attack the heart and kill in less than a hundred breaths. But now, an hour had passed and more than half of this jar of wine had been drunk, but why were there still no signs of poisoning?
He asked casually, "Brother Wu, do you feel any discomfort?"
"No!"
Wutian shook his head and asked in confusion, "Brother Du, what do you mean?"
Du Ji smiled and said, "No, no, come come come, don't just drink, eat some food too."
Another hour passed by.
The jar was finished, but Wutian was still hale and hearty.
"How can this be? Could it be that the poison that Old Man He gave was fake? "
Du Ji was puzzled in his heart.
Wutian got up and said with a smile, "Brother Du, now that we're full, why don't we go stroll around the Inheritance Hall?"
The Inheritance Hall was the Feng Sect's most important place.
The Feng Sect had a written rule, any disciple that stepped into the Eternal Universe had to leave behind a legacy mark in the Inheritance Hall.
This way of doing things was to facilitate other disciples to comprehend.
It was also precisely because of this selfless way of doing things that the Feng Sect could have so many Eternal Universe supreme powerhouses.
According to Du Ji, the Inheritance Hall currently had no less than ten thousand legacy marks!
But these were not the factors that moved Wutian.
What truly made him yearn was that there was a legacy mark that contained the profundities regarding the power of time!
Hence, that was why he shifted his gaze to the Inheritance Hall.
As for how to do it, of course, it was to wipe it all out!
"Wutian, hurry up and bring back the ancestral vein, or else we won't be able to cultivate."
After walking out of the Purple Smoke Tower, Bird Saint's anxious voice sounded in Wutian's head.
"Don't worry, this time, I'm not only going to bleed the Feng Sect, I'm also going to make them lose a lot of vitality. This is the price for plotting against me. Inform me immediately after Old Feng finishes carving the unsealing talisman."
Wutian secretly transmitted his voice, a cold glint flashing through the depths of his blood red eyes.
