Chapter 276 Consuming the Immortal Herb.
Taking a small sip of the wine, a spicy aroma with a strong wheat fragrance immediately entered his throat, transforming into a fiery stream flowing into his stomach. The feeling was truly exhilarating.
Wu Xuan didn't use his soul power to neutralize the wine's power, feeling the burning stimulation, and his fair face immediately became flushed.
Wu Xuan's appearance was already particularly striking, and seeing the change in his complexion after drinking, the woman in yellow's eyes visibly brightened, momentarily captivated.
"Aren't you going to attend to the other customers?" Wu Xuan poured himself another small cup of wine and looked at the woman in yellow with surprise.
"Ah~! Slurp~!" The woman in yellow suddenly snapped back to reality, somewhat embarrassed. "Guest, the shop isn't busy right now, let me chat with you!"
"Sure! Sit down. Can you drink? Have a cup!" Wu Xuan said, pouring her a cup of wine as well.
"According to the rules, we are allowed to drink alcohol, but that doesn't include the special wine you ordered, as it's usually very expensive," the woman in yellow said with some regret.
Wu Xuan smiled and took out a gold soul coin from his soul tool and placed it on the table. "This isn't for the wine, it's your salary for today. So, can you drink now?"
"Yes, of course!" The woman in yellow took the glass Wu Xuan offered and downed it in one gulp. She had known he had an unusual air about him, and his clothes were so thin; it was clear he was a high-level soul master. Ordinary soul masters didn't have that kind of cold resistance; even their boss, a Soul Master of over forty levels, couldn't do it.
"Judging from your accent, you must be from out of town," the woman in yellow asked casually, pouring Wu Xuan a glass of wine first.
"I came from the south, traveling around and just stopped by!" Wu Xuan raised his wine cup and smiled.
"Traveling the continent, upholding justice, your life is truly enviable." The woman in yellow raised her cup again, gesturing for him to drink.
"Haha! It's not as carefree as you think. Just thinking about what's coming gives me a headache. Never mind, let's drink!" Wu Xuan shook his head and also drank his wine in one gulp.
The Buddha in the sky was constantly plotting against him; just thinking about it gave him a headache.
"I didn't expect even you Soul Masters have worries!" The woman in yellow smiled.
"Let's not talk about that. Let me ask you something else. Are there any outstanding geniuses in Dragon City and the surrounding cities?" Wu Xuan drank another cup of wine.
"I haven't heard of many geniuses from other cities. The most dazzling ones in Dragon City are Yu Tianlong of the Heavenly Dragon Gate and Nan Qiuqiu of the Earth Dragon Gate." They are the top geniuses of our Dragon City.
"Those two! I've heard of them too! Their strength is indeed impressive. Are there any others? Preferably Soul Masters with Ice-attribute Martial Souls," Wu Xuan said casually.
"I haven't heard of any geniuses with Ice-attribute Martial Souls. After all, these are matters between Soul Masters, and we ordinary people have limited access to information. However, if you inquire about news from the Soul Master world with those two, you might get some unexpected information," the woman in yellow recommended.
"Now that you mention it, I think it's really necessary to go to the Heavenly Dragon Gate and Earthly Dragon Gate to inquire," Wu Xuan smiled and downed the wine in his glass in one gulp.
"Hehe~! You seem to have quite an interest, sir. But if you want to meet those two, you don't need to go directly to the Heavenly Dragon Gate or Earthly Dragon Gate. You might just meet them at the biggest barbecue restaurant in Dragon City," the woman in yellow laughed.
"Oh! What's going on here?" Wu Xuan asked curiously.
"Because that restaurant offers all kinds of roasted meat made from various soul beasts, which are quite expensive. These two leading figures of the younger generation in Dragon City often compete in various contests, with the loser paying for the meal. This is common knowledge in Dragon City," the woman in yellow explained.
"Haha! They really are quite energetic!" Wu Xuan couldn't help but chuckle upon hearing this.
Afterwards, the two chatted about a few more interesting things, and the bottle of wine Wu Xuan ordered was completely drunk by the two of them.
When Wu Xuan paid and left the tavern, it was already dusk. Wu Xuan found a relatively upscale hotel and checked in.
Finding the Snow Emperor couldn't be rushed. After all, the third-ranked ferocious beast on the continent wouldn't be so brainless. If he were in Wu Xuan's shoes, he certainly wouldn't come to a big city like Dragon City. Naturally, the closer to the far north, the fewer human powerhouses there would be, the more reliable the city would be. These two were the hard requirements.
As for soft conditions, the more popular the location, the better, along with teachers who can impart various knowledge, and ideally, some Soul Masters with cultivation levels nearby.
Considering these points, the Snow Empress is very likely hiding in a primary Soul Master academy near the far north, as there is no better place for her to survive and develop.
Having figured this out, Wu Xuan wasn't in a hurry to investigate immediately. He was completely unfamiliar with the cities near the far north, let alone any Soul Master academies there. Therefore, he decided to inquire about the surrounding area before making any plans.
Even if the Snow Empress had transformed, she would still be a 700,000-year-old Soul Beast. He, at only level 69 Soul Emperor, felt it wasn't safe, so Wu Xuan decided to break through to level 70 before conducting any investigation.
The only treasure that could allow a Soul Emperor with ultimate attributes to advance quickly was the immortal herb Wu Xuan brought back from the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.
Thinking of this, Wu Xuan no longer hesitated and directly took out the Gentle Breeze Lotus Mist from his specially made Soul Guidance Device at his waist.
The method of consuming the Light Breeze Lotus Apple had already been explained to him by the Fragrant Jade Fairy. Except for the leaf stalk, the rest of the fruit could be swallowed directly.
Therefore, after breaking off the leaf stalk, Wu Xuan put the entire Light Breeze Lotus Apple into his mouth. Without chewing, he felt a sweet sensation slide down his throat, followed by a refreshing and invigorating fragrance that filled every corner of his body.
The Light Breeze Lotus Apple was extremely easy to absorb; it immediately became one with his body upon entering his stomach, even his soul power couldn't isolate it. After the fusion, he didn't experience any adverse reactions; instead, he felt a refreshing sensation spreading throughout his body, which was very comfortable.
Thus, Wu Xuan naturally fell into deep meditation. The hotel Wu Xuan was staying in was clearly specially designed for soul masters, not only with its grand and elegant decor but also with its own private cultivation room. This was one of the reasons Wu Xuan decided to absorb the Light Breeze Lotus Apple at this time.
This deep meditation was different from the previous ones; it only lasted three or four days before ending, so quickly that even Wu Xuan found it unbelievable.
