The Taoist saw the gold and his whole face twisted with a smile, quickly responding, "Guest! This way, please~~" The three followed him to an inn located on the busiest street in Xiandu City. It was different from the ones they had seen before, as could be seen from the name itself.
"Heavenly Paradise Hot Spring Restaurant?"
Aragaki Nigaki scratched his head and looked at the bustling traffic on both sides, sighing, "He really knows how to have fun..."
"This is the most famous entertainment business in This garden! It includes bathing, massage, hot springs, fishing, and so on. This one is the largest in the west of the city, and there is another one in the east of the city..."
"Stop! I want to see Tiao Dau, don't you understand?"
"Please don't be in a hurry... Come in and take a rest first, I will report to you right away!"
"Is this a casual repairer? Why do I feel like I'm dealing with a shop assistant?"
In the hall, there are two folding screens standing on the left and right, each embedded with the characters "Male" and "Female". On the left-hand side is a long counter, where a delicate-looking young girl smiles and looks at them. "I think I've seen it in a video... a bathhouse," murmurs Aragaki Nigaki quietly. The three of them checked in and received wooden room number tags on their wrists.
"Not right, in my hometown, we use a machine to scan and then pay. If there's no machine, how do we do it?" Aragaki Nigaki asked. The front desk patiently explained, "Oh, it's like this. Everyone transfers their spiritual heritage to the number plate. Each item will be deducted separately. When you're done, come to the front desk to see how much you've used. Finally, settle the bill with equivalent money." "This works too? This guy is really a business genius! Wait! Do ordinary people also have spiritual heritage?"
Without waiting for the front desk to respond, Ke Lingfei interjected, "That's for sure, brother Aragaki. All things have spirits! Even ordinary human civilians have a Spirit Tower, so if there's a Spirit Tower, there's spiritual power. It's just that their spiritual power is not enough for cultivation. But I wonder how they put the spiritual heritage in there? They shouldn't have been able to detect it, right?"
The front desk smiled and pointed to the opposite side, "That place can provide that kind of service."
"Incredible... he thinks of everything! Let's go, let's go inside and have some fun."
"Sorry, young master."
"What's wrong?"
"The bottle at your waist is unusual. You can't take it to the men's bathroom. Please take it off or give it to this young lady."
Ke Lingfei and Xiao Yao couldn't help but chuckle.
"No, how did you know?"
"That's how it is, young hero. This is a spell personally developed by Mr.Dau that can discern between men and women. In order to provide the safest and highest quality experience for our customers, and also to minimize unnecessary trouble, please follow the regulations and remove the bottle before entering."
"Husband, are you going to take me into the men's bath?" Niu Xiaohua mischievously asked, "Doesn't that mean I'll see all the men inside naked? Hehe..."
Aragaki Nigaki immediately handed the bottle to Ke Lingfei, saying, "That's not allowed!"
"Come on, come on! I've never experienced this kind of bathing at this age... Aragaki, I'll wait for you inside!"
Two people walked in, one in front and one behind.
At first, it was a changing room, where they took off their clothes and put on the light blue bathrobes prepared by the shop.
At first, Xiao Yao was very shy and unwilling to take off his clothes. Aragaki Nigaki, on the other hand, was very familiar and quickly stripped him bare.
Along the path is a large open-air hot spring that can accommodate up to a hundred people at once. To the left, a long corridor leads deeper into the area, while to the right, there is a high wall with shimmering white light at the top. Faint laughter and playful voices of women can be heard from the other side of the wall. Xiao Yao is half-lying on the edge, wrapped in a towel, with her eyes closed, enjoying the warmth the spring water brings to her skin.
"Wow... this feels really comfortable... How did you make Tiao Dau?"
Aragaki Nigaki looked at the steaming hot spring in front of him but had no interest in enjoying it. "Xiao Yao, tell me about the situation at Yunqi temple. If Brother Dau were here, I would ask for his help."
"Brother, can we talk after soaking in the bath? You really know how to kill the mood."
"Don't talk so much! Haven't you heard of 'know yourself, know your enemy, and you shall be victorious in a hundred battles'?"
"Alright, alright! Yunqi temple and Hanging gardens palace are jointly known as the 'Two Palaces', the two largest Xianmen in the Nine Provinces. The founding time of these two is only separated by five hundred years."
"Stop! Talk about the present! I don't want to know about their history."
"Yunqi temple The current head is known as Xinghe, with extraordinary swordsmanship. But don't worry, he's not immortal. The second most important figure in Yunqi is the so-called ' Fairy Yunqi' Lu Xingqian. She only became immortal last year, and her strength surpasses the head by who knows how many times."
"I've seen her before at Shu Mountain. She didn't use her full power."
"Exactly, two of those four immortals didn't use their full power. Otherwise, you wouldn't have been able to escape."
"Why? Aren't they going to Shu Mountain to form an alliance just to capture me?"
"The head of the Yunji Sect, Xinghe, sees the demon race as enemies, but Lu Xingqian thinks otherwise. She has always upheld the idea of equality for all beings. However, she is not the sect leader..."
"By the way, you mentioned earlier that she didn't achieve immortality through her own cultivation, right?"
"Yes, currently there are only four immortals, and you have met them all. They each achieved immortality in different ways."
"Tell me more!"
" Gao Shanghuan was killed by a fellow disciple during the chaos in Penglai and thrown into the ruins. After miraculously reviving 326 days later, he used his immortal status to quell the rebellion and became famous throughout the world! According to him, he was saved by the divine power of the ruins."
"Can the dead come back to life? Bullshit..."
"Qin Siye, he is the youngest disciple of the 'Si' generation in the Hanging gardens palace. He was punished and sent to Kunlun Hill for reflection due to breaking the rules of the sect. Coincidentally, he encountered a rare event that happens once in a thousand years! The three great divine beasts, Kaiming, Luwu, and Yingzhao, paid a visit to the Queen Mother of the West. They saw Qin Siye's extraordinary talent and helped him achieve immortality."
"No way! Even a script wouldn't dare to write this! Is it true or not?"
"I don't know, that's what he said. After that, hanging garden went all out, but not only did they not find the three great divine beasts, they didn't even find a single hair! Anyway, I don't believe it..."
"The real person from my sect, Xu Changqing... was quite unexpected. It is rumored that he accidentally consumed the immortal essence of an immortal, and later achieved immortality."
"That's somewhat normal... accidentally consumed? That's hard to believe."
"Ah?"
"It's nothing, you continue... Lu Xingqian became an immortal at the age of twenty-seven. How did she manage that?"
"It's because of her master. Her master, Su Heng Taoist, had extraordinary talent and achieved immortality in just a few decades. But then, last year... he actually passed on his immortal essence to his little disciple, Lu Xingqian, in front of all the disciples of the Cloud Scripture. You see, even the head of the sect, Xinghe, is his direct disciple. As for the reason... no one knows."
"It's so strange... The relationship between Xinghe and Luxingqian isn't good, right?"
"Even a fool could figure out that it's impossible for them to get along."
"None of these four immortals actually cultivated on their own... Quite interesting."
"She is called the ' Fairy Yunqi,' which is quite interesting."
"What do you mean?"
"Xinghe advocates for war against the demon race, but she secretly captures the demons and keeps them imprisoned without killing them. Of course, she doesn't spare the wicked and evil demons. As a result, the people know that she subdues demons and protects the land, while the demon race knows that she is kind-hearted and never indiscriminately kills. The title of 'fairy' has spread throughout Shenzhou."
"Then she and the sect leader must definitely not get along, right? This is no longer just a matter of having a good relationship."
"Perhaps... Anyway, she basically handles all the external affairs of the Yunqi Temple. Xinghe mainly manages the internal affairs. To be honest, I really don't understand how they get along so harmoniously."
