Gu Qingyang was also aware of the strangeness of the waiter in this shop. But on the surface, Gu Qingyang still looked calm.
He could already imagine that there must be some rules in this prosperous ancient city, or in this small tavern.
Those rules may have existed a long time ago. It’s just that outsiders like them are destined to not understand.
However, if you don’t understand, you don’t understand.
Rules like this can only restrain some weak bone cultivators. For a truly strong person, this is really nothing.
Gu Qingyang admits that he is not yet the person who stands on top of the entire wild world, nor is he such a powerful person.
But he also decided that he would not easily entrust his life to such nonsense.
Therefore, although it was faint, he seemed not to notice anything on the surface.
But in fact, he was already secretly prepared for some things.
And after he silently prepared himself, he began to wait.
At this moment, his heart was already occupied by the desire to seek enlightenment. He came here obviously wanting to drink tea and wine.
But in fact, he was just looking for an opportunity. The training in the sea of thunder did not allow him to fully refine his immense power.
And now, his body still retains the effects of elixirs such as Shibu Killing Tribulation. He couldn't just waste it.
You know, for people with his level of bone cultivation, they usually take third-level elixirs, or fourth-level or fifth-level elixirs.
In this wild world, the level of elixirs is strictly based on the cultivation level of bone cultivators. There are even sixteen great realms of bone cultivation.
As for elixirs, there are also sixteen levels.
Although the conditions for taking the elixir of the Ten Steps of Killing Tribulation are not the most stringent among the tenth-level elixirs.
But if ordinary bone cultivators have not reached the tenth realm, it will not be so easy to refine it through the test it brings.
Gu Qingyang knew very well that a ten-step killing calamity might really be nothing to that mysterious woman.
But, she can think so.
He, however, cannot do that. The life-saving grace plus the gift of the medicine, invisibly, these blessings added together are already a great blessing.
On the occasion of separation, what he said was actually euphemistic enough. At least, he mentioned it if it was fate.
If this kind of thing were done to other bone cultivators, and those other bone cultivators still had consciences, most of those bone cultivators would be grateful.
Although he was grateful to that woman, while he was grateful, he also did not forget to do what he should do.
He knew very well that verbal gratitude actually had no great significance. Only when you have nothing to repay, you can only express it in words.
He didn't want to be in this situation.
What he hopes is that one day, if he really meets that woman again, at least he can help her a little.
And now, Gu Qingyang has clearly realized it. Just relying on the power of thunder remaining in his body, he still has the power to kill in ten steps.
These powers are enough for him to attack the last shackles of the third realm and try to see if he can attack the fourth realm.
But he was in no rush to break through.
He was just anxious to refine all these powers and make them completely become a part of the power in his body and a part of his body.
If those powers are not refined, one day, these powers will disappear without a trace in his body.
And if all these powers are refined, these powers will naturally remain in his body forever.
"Sir, this is the tea you asked for."
"Sir, this is the wine you asked for."
"Please use it slowly."
…
By the time Gu Qingyang had sorted out the thoughts in his mind, the waiter's voice had already sounded in his ears.
The waiter's words made him wake up instantly. Originally, he was planning to nod to show that he understood. But the tea and wine in front of him made him frown.
"Is this the tea and wine in your store?"
The waiter hasn't left yet because Gu Qingyang didn't give any response.
At this moment, the former seemed to have already expected that Gu Qingyang would have such a reaction.
Therefore, the waiter at the shop first took a careful look at Gu Qingyang sitting in his seat.
After taking a few glances, he made sure that Gu Qingyang was indeed extremely serious when he spoke.
A smile suddenly appeared on the waiter's face.
"Sir, don't make a fuss. Although our shop is small, it has existed in this city for a long time. Tea and wine are the rules of the old shop owner."
"We old shopkeepers believe that tea tastes bitter and wine tastes fragrant, so tea and wine are relative things and cannot be served on the same table at the same time and on the same day."
"In his shop, if anyone really dares to serve tea and wine on the same table at the same time, it would be a challenge to him."
"Sir, the tea I serve you is called Fanwei tea. It is a low-grade tea and will not be recognized as real tea."
"And the wine I served you is of the highest quality. I know that you, sir, must be a foreigner and do not understand the ways of our shop."
"I do this for your sake."
"Look, you just want a drink."
"It's not like you just casually provoke an old strong man with a weird temper just for a drink."
…
When he said these words, the waiter deliberately lowered his voice. Apparently, he was afraid that someone would hear him.
After listening to his words, Gu Qingyang completely understood what he meant.
But the waiter's words made him feel a special feeling in his heart.
In Gu Qingyang's opinion, if the old owner of this tavern is really as the waiter said, he is a person with such a weird temper.
That can only mean that the other party treats the tea and wine as part of their spiritual path.
Tea, wine, drinks in the eyes of others.
In the eyes of the old shopkeeper, it was part of the great road he sought and the way he cultivated.
This is the inevitable result of looking at those things from a different perspective. Gu Qingyang can understand these things.
However, this made him realize that maybe in a sense, he and this old shop owner who he had never met before might be the same kind of person.
From such strange rules, perhaps what others can get is pure anger. What he can get is a sense of recognition.
He could appreciate the old shop owner's unique dedication to spiritual practice.
You know, the creatures in this wild world come and go every day.
There was a steady flow of people.
In the vast sea of people, some people are really human beings, but some people are not necessarily human beings.
There are some special wild beasts, when they have reached a certain level of cultivation. They can also take the form of humans.
Moreover, those who can transform into human form and walk in the human world are not necessarily wild beasts. What's more, these can only be regarded as unexpected factors.
After all, there are already many strong people among the human bone cultivators. In daily life, when you really want to find those strong people.
You may not be able to find them.
However, when you really have no intention and really just want to do a small thing, the so-called strong person is likely to be by your side.
In two lifetimes, Gu Qingyang has been walking in the wild world for more than a thousand years.
For many things, Gu Qingyang not only sees them thoroughly, but also can completely understand them and quote the rules of those things.
Opening a tavern is not difficult.
Opening a tavern requires such strange rules. This is really difficult. Not everyone wants to follow those rules.
He didn't know what level of cultivation the old shopkeeper had, let alone what kind of strength the old shopkeeper had.
But he was certain that no matter how strong the old shopkeeper was, he would not be invincible in the world, nor would he be strong enough to defeat all enemies with his own strength.
So, on the surface, this old shopkeeper might just open a tavern, and it doesn't seem like a big deal.
But in fact, by opening a tavern, establishing rules, and abiding by the rules, he is observing the way, keeping his own way, and at the same time pursuing his own way.
This is a kind of practice.
"Wine is the king of Wangyou."
"Tea never waits."
"Please help me change this tea into a top-grade tea, or replace the wine with a bottom-grade wine."
"Tea and wine actually just taste different. If you think I have violated the rules set by the old shop owner."
"Please don't worry."
"Everyone has his own way. Please just do as I say. Anyway, the old shopkeeper won't say anything to you."
"this--"
…
Seeing a look of persistence appear on Gu Qingyang's face, he said such words again.
The waiter in the shop couldn't help but have a look of admiration on his face.
No one else knows the strength of this old shop owner.
As the waiter of this store, how could he not know?
Although, the old shop owner is also extremely mysterious on weekdays and rarely takes action.
But he had more or less seen the old shop owner take action several times.
The one that impressed him the most was when a group of bone cultivators from the bone refining realm dared to deliberately provoke the old shop owner and threatened to destroy the place.
But that time, the old shop owner just waved his hand, causing those bone cultivators to completely fall and turn into powder in an instant.
Although he is only a waiter, he has met many people. With his eyesight, he can naturally see it.
The young man in front of him was also a bone cultivator in the bone refining realm.
I have to say that to achieve such a level of cultivation at such an age is indeed an extremely young genius.
But no matter what, this young man is just a so-called "genius", not a real strong man.
There is a difference between a genius and a strong person.
The former is awe-inspiring because this name is enough to tell the world that a strong person will definitely become extraordinary in the future as he grows up.
The latter is awe-inspiring because the latter has truly reached such a height and truly has admirable capital.
From the waiter's point of view, the Gu Qingyang in front of him should belong to the former group, but not the latter.
So, this is a young talent.
If this is just a genius, then if the old shop owner is really alarmed, there is really no telling how this matter will end.
However, he is just an ordinary waiter. Even though he really felt a thousand kinds of feelings in his heart.
At this moment, he could only sigh silently in his own heart. And after a period of time, he also discovered that Gu Qingyang still only had perseverance in his eyes.
"I understand, please wait a moment."
Helpless, the waiter could only nod.
The moment he turned around, Gu Qingyang keenly noticed the look of regret and helplessness in the other party's eyes.
And such a look also made Gu Qingyang's heart tremble. At this moment, Gu Qingyang could already roughly imagine the strength of the old shopkeeper.
He knows that as long as the waiter in this store still has a bit of a vicious eye, as long as this waiter in the store can still discover the extraordinary in others.
Well, the look in the waiter's eyes was enough to explain a lot of things. For example, what is the approximate level of the old shop owner's strength?
However, even though he could roughly guess the opponent's strength, Gu Qingyang still had no intention of changing his mind.
In any case, he really hoped to meet someone who was so dedicated to spiritual practice and see if he could discuss the Tao.
Discussing the Tao with strong people is also a way of spiritual practice. At this moment, he has indeed changed his original idea.
He originally planned to use tea and wine to regain the feeling he had a while ago and have another enlightenment.
But such a thing is only possible. After all, he had a real epiphany some time ago.
That is not an ordinary enlightenment, and it cannot be experienced just by experiencing it.
In contrast, discussing with a strong person has a better chance of gaining him something.
So he changed his mind. He wanted to try and see if he could meet the old shopkeeper and have a discussion with him.
However, this kind of thing is not guaranteed to happen. Although, the so-called rules are there.
But whether others take action or not is not something he can easily decide. Therefore, Gu Qingyang is just sitting there with a calm expression.
He is waiting.
He is waiting for a result, and at the same time, he is also waiting for an opportunity that allows him to understand the truth. He wants to become stronger.
In fact, during this period of time, he had been thinking about one thing. That is, when should he continue to break through.
And what he was referring to was not to break through any small realm casually, but to break through from the third realm of bone cultivation, the bone refining realm, to the fourth realm of bone cultivation.
He can deeply realize that now, he already has a deep state of mind and majestic strength, which are all good accumulations.
Logically speaking, under such conditions, it seems to be a good choice to break through the limitations of the realm and break through to the next realm.
But his intuition told him that the path he was going to take was destined to be an extraordinary one.
Therefore, his state of cultivation is destined to be different from ordinary people.
And this can be seen from the fact that after his rebirth, he returned to the life bone realm with the immortal bones of gods and demons, and achieved the tenth grade life bone that had never been seen in ancient and modern times.
Life bones, sacrificial bones... When experiencing these two realms, he has more or less made unprecedented achievements.
And now, he is about to reach the peak of the bone refining realm. At this time, why shouldn't he break his limits and achieve greater success?
While thinking about it, Gu Qingyang also slowly turned his eyes to the tea and wine in front of him.
Tea, for the night.
Wine is for Wangyoujun.
The two are indeed existences with completely different essences. One of them can make people have abnormally high energy and not fall asleep after drinking it.
The other one will make people feel drunk after drinking it and become confused, which is a way to solve a thousand worries after being drunk.
But the sorrow and melancholy in this world.
Can it really be easily offset by getting drunk? Gu Qingyang didn't think that was the case, because getting drunk only relieved the temporary suffering.
