This is the largest city in the south. The great sect that protects this land is led by the Lu Weifeng Sect (Green Wind Breeze Sect). The Sect leader is called Lu Er, the youngest among the two Lu brothers of the Lu Clan. He held the authority over the sect but he would never ignore his elder brother's authority as well. In short, the Lu Weifeng Sect (Green Wind Breeze Sect) had two sect leaders, Lu Yi and Lu Er.
Lu Er just finished issuing orders to people for the arrival of the strongest cultivator in their realm.
"Dage, I've finished my work. Let's visit the ancestral mound together," said Lu Er.
Lu Yi said, "There is no need to come with me. It's dangerous and I can do it myself."
"I'm bored, Dage. Let me accompany you okay? I'll buy you lunch in your favorite restaurant," said Lu Er.
Lu Yi said, "Do you think your brother is a glutton? I want the special feast set!"
"Okay! Haha~"
The two brothers left the Sect Territory together to investigate about the floating rumors about their family cemetery. A number of missing disciples had been reported to them recently and all of them had said to disappear in their Ancestral Mound.
Chun Hongyun-Jun. One of the top cultivators from the (Blue Fleeting Cloud Sect) Lan Zhuayun Sect. It was said that his cultivation stage had reached one of the peaks in the land of mortals and was waiting for an opportunity to ascend to the upper realm.
Every cultivator in the mortal realm dreams to ascend in the heavenly domain. Only then they would have the chance of becoming a true god that stood upon the masses. After all, all cultivators in the world gave the goal of immortality. They wanted to live forever.
Chun Hongyun-Jun is said to be the strongest yet youngest sword saint in the Mortal realm. No one in the land of mortals is able to beat him when it comes to sword fighting. His sword's name is special as well. God Slayer. A black sword that can kill even the Gods above.

Luan City's main road.
After eating breakfast, Hei Anjing ordered Zhi Yue to gather information about the Great Sects. This includes their background, rumors, and past. He started getting interested in the sects in the mortal world after seeing his dream.
In the dream where he wears blue robes with waves pattern at the edges, he knew that he must have lived a lifetime in this mortal realm once. Waking up in purgatory didn't surprise him much, if he had been imprisoned there it can only be meant he had gone against the Heavenly Laws and his father can only punish him as the Immortal Emperor of the world.
This could only mean that he had done something that broke the rules and the location happened to be this land of mortals.
Hei Anjing murmured, "Is this the same reason why I had the feeling I must descend down here? Either way, there are gaps in my memories. I need to look through it in the dream realm."
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHe was walking by the road when he saw some sweets in the shapes of flowers sold at the roadside. The shapes of the flowers and colors vary in different kinds. Even though Hei Anjing remains expressionless as before there is a slight glow within those dull silver eyes.
The vendor saw the flawless veiled man in front of him. Even if half of his face was hidden by a thin veil no one could deny those exquisite features like his phoenix-shaped eyes and long eyelashes. He is definitely a handsome or a gorgeous beauty behind the veil.
"Only, 3 silver for 5 flower pastries. Does this Master want to buy some?" asked the vendor.
Hei Anjing stares at the palm-sized flower-shaped pastries and sees there are 6 kinds of flower shapes and flavors. After hearing what the vendor had asked he closed his fan and pretended to look for his money pouch. He remembered Zhi Yue giving him human currency before he left to investigate what he had given him. He grabbed 6 silvers.
"All flower shapes. 2 lotus flowers, 2 plum flowers, and 3 cherry blossoms," said Hei Anjing.
The vendor smiled at what Hei Anjing had requested.
"Thank you for buying. Please come again!"
Hei Anjing received a paper bag with 10 flower-shaped desserts properly placed inside. He lightly opened the bag and used a clean handkerchief from his sleeves. He took out a pink cherry blossom-shaped flower dessert. He didn't lift his veil up but he let the hand holding a pastry go in the veil. Under the veil, he ate the pastries.
A hint of sweetness and the taste of flowers landed on his tongue. The taste is mellow. Not too sweet and not too greasy obviously a dessert that was well made. Hei Anjing liked it quite alike. He didn't even notice that the vendor and other customers were waiting for his reaction. But Hei Anjing remained emotionless except that his eyes slightly narrowed revealing his good mood.
Gulps~
"Daren (My Lord) is it delicious?" asked one of the customers waiting for his reaction.
Hei Anjing glances at him lightly and nods his head. He turned to look at the vendor and gave him 15 more pieces of silver. The former understood and packed another 25 various flower pastries for the big customer in front of him. Under the eyes of everyone, the big bag of pastries disappeared into thin air. Only Hei Anjing knows that his desserts were placed in his space earring. Then he walks away without saying another word but everyone has seen him eating a lotus flower-shaped dessert as he walks away.
"That Daren just now bought a lot. He looks so wealthy. Those flower-shaped pastries should taste great for him to buy extras!"
"Boss, give me ten. I'm going to bring some to my wife and daughters."
"10 for me as well. I think my fiance would like it as well."
"Me too... Boss, save some for me."
"Hey! Stop pushing! Boss, give me 50 first. I'm from Fu Jia."
"Who cares if you are whatever Jia (Clan) you are? We want some too."
The vendor was dazed, he didn't expect his desserts to sell well. His restaurant had just fallen due to debts left by his family. He used to have a bigger shop in the city but lost it all to debts. He wanted to try selling some homemade pastries his wife had made as a trial. But no one tried to buy it as the price was quite high.
When he was about to give up, a young man with a veil covering the lower half of his face suddenly stopped in front of his store. He noticed him staring at the hard work of his wife and tried to offer him some. He had tried this multiple times but lots of customers ran after hearing the price. Only this young man who was wearing robes made from unknown material brought six silver in one go. The vendor immediately knew that this young man didn't have an ordinary background.
The vendor understood that he must have wanted to try all flavors and flower shapes but he offered only 5 and left one behind so the young man could only buy two sets. He didn't expect him to try one as soon as he bought some and actually bought an extra before leaving. He didn't even hear him speak a word about how his desserts taste when he was asked just now but everyone was attracted by his presence which allowed others to notice his pastries.
His wife who accompanied him to sell sweets had been tapping his back with her hand as she served the other customers.
"Darling what are you in dazed for? Help me pack up the customer's orders. Hurry!!"
"O-Okay... I wonder if Daren likes our pastries?"
"I'll try to make new flavors tonight. If that Daren comes again tomorrow, give him the new products to try for free."
"That's also good too."
A few years later this stall once again became the biggest dessert and tea store in the city. Hei Anjing would bring his husband with him every time he wanted to eat flower pastries.
Hei Anjing walked around the market and didn't say anything anymore that caught his attention. After eating ten flower pastries, he felt a bit full and decided to look for something to drink and buy. Not a stall far from the market was selling tea with milk. But this is a new product and customers rarely bought one. But this still caught Hei Anjing's attention and went to that store next.
He didn't notice the eyes following him when he approached the store. The seller of the drink was dejected that he didn't receive customers again this time.
"Ah... What was missing? The flavors are great but how come all those who bought it say it was lacking something? Sigh~ forget it. Let's close the store early today and try it again tomorrow," mumbled the store owner.
But when he turned around he saw Hei Anjing standing in front of his store and was startled.
Whoa!
"Customer? I'm sorry. Please tell me your order, Daren."
Hei Anjing looked at the menu placed in front of him with drawings. He saw a strawberry and rose tea with milk and pointed at it.
"Strawberry and Rose tea with milk. Understood. What cup size does Daren want?"
"The largest one," answered Hei Anjing.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Wow~ what a seductive voice. Ah! I'm sorry Daren, please sit for a while and let this one make your drink!"
After seeing that Hei Anjing had taken his seat the female customer started working. A few minutes later she comes out with a tall cup with red juice and white swirls looking like clouds on the cup. The white swirls are made of milk while the red juice is rose tea and some strawberry bits mixed in it.
"Thank you for waiting. Here is your order, Daren. This thing here is called straw. It can be used to sip on your drink. Please enjoy your drink, Daren," said the seller.
She did her very best to create this luxurious cup of milk tea for such a rare guest. She stayed at a distance waiting for the customer to drink her product but only saw him staring at the cup and looking at her.
"Is there something wrong, Daren?" asked the seller.
Hei Anjing asked, "Is there no Ice?"
"Ice? You mean that frozen water?" asked the milk tea seller bewildered.
"Give me an empty cup, please."
"Yes, Sir!"
The seller ran back to her store and brought with her an empty cup Hei Anjing had requested. She watched as the customer poured 1/4 of the drink into the empty cup. Hei Anjing nodded his head at this sight and placed a hand above his cup. Using his qi he created a few ice cubes which fell on the two cups. The milk tea seller's eyes widened in amazement and realized what Hei Anjing had just done.
"Ice? Would Ice make my drinks delicious?"
She fearlessly took the smaller cup with only a quarter of tea beside Hei Anjing's tall cup. She followed Hei Anjing's movements and twirl the drink with ice until the temperature of the whole drink turned cold. Then sips it like Hei Anjing though she didn't use a straw and just tilt the cup up for a taste.
When the cool temperature mixed with the taste of strawberry, milk, rose and tea entered her throat, she immediately felt refreshed. The fruit and milky taste mixed with slight bitterness and floral scent of tea assaulted her tongue.
"Hm!!! Delicious!!! So I was missing Ice. I needed ice to complement my drink!" said the seller.
Hei Anjing who just finished a cup looked at the excited beverage seller not far from him.
"To go. Large size. Coffee with milk and cocoa chips flavor."
"Right away, Daren. Your idea is marvelous. Can I use your idea of using Ice in my drink? I will give you the drinks you've ordered today for today free!"
"Do as you wish! I want an extra large cup for my last order," said Hei Anjing.
"As you wish, Daren!!!"
As expected this event caused big changes to this store as well. Though it took three days for the seller to find a way to get ice, her drinks became popular as soon as she used ice in her milk tea. Her business became booming after Hei Anjing visited her store.
