Chapter 109 Purple Clouds

"A Nascent Soul cultivator?!"

Everyone gasped in shock.

The Nascent Soul stage—that's a legendary existence!

In the entire Qingzhou City, not a single person has reached the Nascent Soul stage in hundreds of years!

"The Liu family has truly had incredible luck this time..."

"I heard that senior has taken Liu Mei as his disciple? The Liu family is about to rise to prominence!"

The crowd whispered among themselves, their tone a mixture of envy, jealousy, and deep awe.

Just then.

Suddenly, the area outside the restaurant fell silent.

Everyone looked towards the doorway without prior arrangement.

A young man in a blue robe entered with his hands behind his back, his expression calm and his steps unhurried.

Two stunningly beautiful young women followed behind her; they were Liu Mei and Liu Baihua.

It lacked any earth-shattering grandeur.

There was no overwhelming pressure like the vast ocean.

But the moment he stepped into the restaurant, the entire Lan Yue Lou seemed to fall silent instantly.

All eyes were on him.

"Greetings, senior!"

The others seemed to awaken from a dream, and they all stood up and paid their respects in unison.

The voices were unified, filled with heartfelt reverence.

Zhou Tian nodded slightly, his gaze sweeping across the entire room.

Those whose gaze swept over him all felt a chill run down their spines and quickly lowered their heads.

What a look that was...

Calm, profound, as if it could see through people's hearts, and as if it contained supreme majesty.

"There's no need for such formalities, everyone."

Zhou Tian spoke softly, his voice not loud, yet it clearly reached everyone's ears.

He sat down in the main seat.

Liu Mei and Liu Baihua stood respectfully by her side.

The banquet begins.

Fine wines and delicacies were served in a continuous stream.

The heads of various families took turns offering toasts, their words respectful and full of flattery.

Zhou Tian simply nodded slightly, occasionally taking a sip of wine, without saying much.

But no one dared to express the slightest dissatisfaction.

After several rounds of drinks...

Just then, a graceful figure in purple walked through the crowd.

She was a woman wearing a purple cheongsam.

The cheongsam was made of the finest brocade and was tailored to fit perfectly, outlining the woman's mature and voluptuous figure to the fullest.

The slit was just right, and her fair and slender calves could be vaguely seen as she walked.

She looked to be around thirty years old, with a charming and sophisticated air about her, as if she had experienced the world.

The touch of vermilion on her lips added a touch of vibrancy.

Holding a cup of amber-colored spirit wine, she walked gracefully to Zhou Tian and gave him a gentle bow.

"This humble servant, Ziyun, offers a toast to Your Excellency."

Her voice was soft and charming, with just the right amount of huskiness, like a fine, aged wine, mellow and intoxicating.

Zhou Tian looked up.

The Golden Eyes of Illusion operated silently.

Immediately, Zhou Tian learned all the information about the woman in front of him.

His cultivation level is at the peak of Foundation Establishment, and he is around 280 years old.

Her primordial yin energy has been broken, and her foundation has also been damaged, so it is obvious that she has given birth.

Zhou Tian didn't say anything, but picked up the wine glass in front of him and drank it all in one gulp.

Upon seeing this, Ziyun also bowed slightly.

The neckline of the cheongsam opened slightly due to this movement, revealing a glimpse of her snow-white cleavage.

It must be said that purple has a lot of charm.

This thought flashed through Zhou Tian's mind.

Although the woman in front of me was not young, she was very well-maintained, with fair and delicate skin.

She has a full figure but doesn't appear bulky, especially with that unique adult charm.

Like perfectly cooked water Juice will overflow with just a gentle pinch.

He raised his glass, his gaze fixed on the book he had been following, ready to read anytime: "Many Children, Many Blessings: My Master's Wife Forces Me to Marry Nine Senior Sisters." He downed it in one gulp.

The spirit wine is smooth and mellow, with a subtle fruity aroma and a touch of spiritual energy; it's truly excellent.

"The wine is good."

Zhou Tian put down his wine glass.

Ziyun's smile widened, and she quickly said.

"This is my 'Purple Cloud Brew,' which I've treasured for three hundred years. It's made with forty-nine kinds of spiritual fruits and aged deep within the spiritual veins of the Purple Cloud Pavilion. If you like it, my lord, I have a few more jars. I'll have them delivered later."

Zhou Tian nodded and did not refuse.

Seeing this, Ziyun felt a little more at ease and spoke softly again.

"Since you are new to Qingzhou City, please feel free to ask if you ever need the help of Ziyun Pavilion."

"Although my cultivation level is low, I have been operating in Qingzhou City for many years and am well-informed. I can also do some trivial things for you, sir."

This was a clever way of putting it, showing the intention to seek refuge without being overly obsequious.

Upon hearing this, the heads of the surrounding families all showed a strange look in their eyes.

Ziyun is known for her shrewdness in Qingzhou City. Although Ziyun Pavilion is not a top-tier power, it has extensive connections and is well-informed.

Her ability to so decisively show goodwill to this senior colleague demonstrates her keen insight.

Zhou Tian glanced at Zi Yun and suddenly spoke:

"Your lifespan is probably coming to an end."

After he finished speaking, the entire room fell silent.

The music stopped abruptly, and all conversations ceased as well.

Ziyun's smile froze instantly, her hand holding the tray trembled slightly, and the remaining wine in the glass rippled.

She looked up at Zhou Tian, ​​her eyes filled with shock.

"My lord...you..."

Zhou Tian remained calm and continued.

"The lifespan of a Foundation Establishment cultivator is three hundred years. You are currently around two hundred and eighty years old, so it seems you still have twenty years left."

"However, your vital essence is severely depleted, your meridians have many hidden injuries, and there is an unhealed crack in your dantian. These injuries are constantly consuming your life force, and your actual lifespan is less than twenty years."

Every word was like a knife, stabbing into Ziyun's heart.

Her delicate body trembled slightly, and the color drained from her still charming face. Her lips moved, but no sound came out.
