Becoming an immortal against the will of heaven

As he spoke, the waiter didn't dare to be negligent and quickly opened the half-closed door completely, so that Chen Tian and Qin Yi could easily enter. Immediately afterward, he led the way, taking them to the inner room.

The decoration of this tavern was extremely simple. In the front hall, there were a few faded tables and chairs, with a bamboo tube casually placed on the table, containing a few chopsticks. The inner room was divided into three areas, two of which were arranged as private rooms, while the other was where the tavern's owner kept accounts and stored wine.

At this moment, the waiter directly led Chen Tian and Qin Yi to the innermost room, the owner's room.

As soon as he entered the room, Chen Tian saw an old man, over fifty years old, dressed in a silk robe and looking like a businessman, sitting with his back to them at a square table, rapidly manipulating an abacus and occasionally picking up a brush to write something down, as if he were calculating accounts.

"Alas, this business is really impossible to do. Ya'er, look, we've lost thirty taels of silver again this year. What will we do next year!"

As if hearing the waiter's footsteps, the owner, who was calculating accounts, suddenly sighed and complained helplessly.

Upon hearing this, the waiter showed Chen Tian a look of guilt, then hurriedly stepped forward and whispered, "Boss, now is not the time to talk about these things. We have guests."

"Alas, Xiao Hei, who is responsible for purchasing ingredients, hasn't returned yet. The shop doesn't have any food to entertain guests. Don't bother me with these small matters. Just tell them that the shop has nothing to offer and tell them to get lost."

The owner kept his hands moving, still rapidly manipulating the abacus, and shouted impatiently.

However, the waiter was scared out of his wits upon hearing this, and said with a mournful face, "Boss, these two guests are not ordinary people."

As he spoke, the waiter bent down and whispered into the owner's ear.

"What?"

After hearing the waiter's explanation, the owner was startled. The brush he was holding fell, staining the white paper with ink.

However, the owner didn't care about these things at this moment. He stared at the waiter and said angrily, "Why didn't you say so earlier? Where are those two guests now?"

Having been scolded for no reason, the waiter couldn't express his bitterness, but he didn't dare to argue, so he could only pout and say helplessly, "Look, they're right behind you."

"What?"

Hearing this, the owner's body trembled as if he had been electrocuted. Then, he hurriedly turned around and saw Chen Tian and Qin Yi standing behind him with smiles on their faces.

"Manager Su, nice to meet you. How are you?" Chen Tian cupped his fist in his hand and said with a teasing look after seeing that the man finally noticed him.

"Senior, please don't embarrass me, old man. I am just a small Spirit Gathering stage cultivator, how dare I accept such a grand salute from you!"

After hearing Chen Tian's playful words, the owner smiled wryly and hurriedly bowed deeply in return.

After raising his body, he turned to the waiter and instructed, "Alright, there's nothing for you to do here. You can leave now."

"Yes."

The waiter also understood the rules very well. After responding softly, he respectfully retreated.

Seeing this, the owner nodded in satisfaction, then turned around again, frowned slightly, and said with some difficulty, "Senior, since you have come here, then you must already know our rules, so to be on the safe side, I hope you can show me your invitation so that I can verify it, is that okay?"

"Of course, please wait a moment."

Chen Tian nodded after hearing this. Then, with a flip of his right hand, a light cyan token appeared in his palm, with the words 'Dragon Court Pavilion' engraved on it.

Upon seeing this, the owner hurriedly took the token from Chen Tian's hand and carefully examined it in front of his eyes.

After a long while, he nodded in satisfaction and said, "It is indeed an invitation issued by the Dragon Court Pavilion. If that's the case, then please follow me, Senior."

After confirming the authenticity of the token, the owner no longer hesitated. With a wave of his left hand, a dazzling light flashed. At the same time, a magical scene appeared.

In front of everyone, there was originally an earthen wall made of yellow mud. However, under the impact of this spiritual light, the thick earthen wall gradually became transparent. Until finally, a huge wooden door was revealed.

Chen Tian glanced at it, then turned to look at Qin Yi and said with a smile, "Let's go in too."

Qin Yi didn't say anything after hearing this, nodded, and followed Chen Tian and the owner into the dark passage.

The passage was dark and extremely narrow. Along the way, the sound of "pa da... pa da" footsteps echoed in everyone's ears. After walking for an unknown amount of time, suddenly, a heavy stone door about three zhang wide appeared in front of them. Although the material was different, like the previous wooden door, this stone door was also decorated extremely exquisitely.

"Alright, we're here. Senior, please wait a moment while I open it."

After briefly explaining to Chen Tian and Qin Yi, the owner no longer hesitated, put down the oil lamp, reached into his waist, and took out a purple pearl. After chanting a mantra, the pearl immediately shone with a dazzling purple light, forming a beam of light that shot towards the stone door in front of everyone with a "shiu" sound.

"Squeak... Ya..."

At this moment, the huge stone door, weighing more than a thousand pounds, made a muffled sound under the illumination of the purple beam of light. Then, it slowly opened to the left and right.

At the same time, dazzling rays of light were projected from the cracks in the opening stone door, shining on Chen Tian and Qin Yi.

After the entire stone door was completely opened, Chen Tian and Qin Yi couldn't help but be attracted by the scenery behind the stone door!

I haven't been feeling well recently. I threw up the night before yesterday, but I got up and coded two chapters. Yesterday, including today, I only slept for more than five hours. It's early morning again, and I'm exhausted. I didn't want to write today, but I thought about it and decided to write two more chapters anyway.

There's still a little more than half of the previous chapters that need to be revised, which is really unbearable. However, I should be able to free up more time tomorrow, so let's have a small burst tomorrow first.
