Nowadays, Ye Luo is making waves with the merger between the Great Tang Empire and Da Yue!

Fang Yun is truly smitten with Ye Luo!

Do you really think all this is a coincidence?

No, that’s not the case. Fang Yun chose to open a restaurant here partly because of Ye Luo.

Because it’s close to the Great Tang Empire, Fang Yun can clearly understand everything happening within it, including everything about Ye Luo, of course!

However, her identity makes it impossible for her to reveal herself openly!

Ye Luo pretends to be injured, and with his subtle hints, Fang Yun understands but can only feign ignorance!

"Alright, I get it now. No need to remind me; I know what I’m doing."

Fang Yun said plainly, then revealed a smile again before walking out of the room.

...

"Oh, you’re finally awake, dear guest. Our shopkeeper worries about you daily, and now they’ve even gone to the kitchen themselves to cook for you!"

Just as Ye Luo walked out the door, he encountered a waiter.

The waiter had a beaming smile, it was clear that the people in this inn knew about Ye Luo’s presence.

Ye Luo smiled gently, knowing the waiter was referring to Fang Yun.

But responding to the waiter’s remarks, Ye Luo felt a bit awkward.

"I just want to walk around; staying in a room for several days is unbearable."

Ye Luo laughed it off and headed downstairs.

The inn was quite large and luxuriously decorated!

However, there weren’t many guests, not because the business was poor; quite the opposite, the business was fantastic. With Fang Yun’s culinary skills, how could it be bad?

Yet, Fang Yun’s inn has rules; only ten dishes are served a day, and reservations are not accepted!

Moreover, Fang Yun doesn’t like being disturbed.

So during non-ordering times, the inn is practically empty!

But if you look around the inn, you’ll see!

The area around the inn is packed with countless diners waiting for the time to order to grab a spot!

Only ten dishes each day, and if you come late, there won’t be any left!

Don’t expect anyone to let you go first; once you’ve tasted Fang Yun’s dishes, you’ll want more!

Of course, some have tried to cause trouble or target Fang Yun, but none succeeded. Trouble-makers sometimes simply vanish!

Over time, this place developed its unique set of rules.

Ye Luo didn’t know about these things. When he went downstairs and saw the emptiness, he found it strange.

Of course, he didn’t think much of it and simply wanted to explore what kind of city this was.

Ever since Ye Luo arrived here, he hadn’t really explored much. Today seemed like a good opportunity.

Ye Luo knew Fang Yun’s temperament. Meals wouldn’t be served outside meal times. Even if the little waiter said Fang Yun was preparing food, Ye Luo knew it would only be served at the right time.

There was still an hour until mealtime, so Ye Luo decided it was perfect for wandering around.

But just as Ye Luo walked a few steps outside, a young man approached him with a smile!

"Oh, what grace, my friend, out for a stroll?"

Ye Luo frowned slightly, wondering if this guy was dense or just silly?

Wasn’t it obvious he was out for a walk?

Besides, what does his walk have to do with him?

So Ye Luo didn’t want to bother with him and intended to leave directly!

However, the man quickly blocked Ye Luo’s path.

"Oh, don’t be in such a hurry, my friend. I have a little trinket I’d like you to appraise."

Ye Luo was slightly stunned, wondering what this guy wanted.

Before he could speak, the man handed him a small box.

Ye Luo looked at him curiously, noting that the man gestured for him to open the box!

Though puzzled, Ye Luo was intrigued. What could it be? As for danger?

Ye Luo wasn’t concerned, as he didn’t sense any hostility, in fact, he sensed a bit of flattery from this person.

He casually opened the box, and immediately, a rich, pure spiritual power washed over him!

Even with just a glance, Ye Luo saw it was an exceptionally rare Spiritual Medicine!

"What is this?"

Ye Luo was curious. He couldn’t believe this guy didn’t recognize it as a Spiritual Medicine; he must have another motive!

"Haha, please don’t laugh at me, my friend. I’m Liu Kun, the young master of Liu Medical Hall. We grow this herb at home. It’s a destiny that we meet today. The quality is decent. I just wish to befriend you, nothing more!"

Befriend?

And bring out such a rare Spiritual Medicine on the first meeting?

What’s this guy really after?

Beware of Greeks bearing gifts. Ye Luo didn’t believe he lacked a motive.

But it seemed like there wasn’t anything extraordinary about him worth others paying attention to. This wasn’t the Great Tang or Da Yue.

Ye Luo remained confused, but given the Spiritual Medicine as an offering, he didn’t mind too much.

He wasn’t worried about being schemed against; those who tried to scheme against Ye Luo usually met unsavory ends!

From the Venerate of the Spiritual Mirror, Ye Luo received the Qiankun Ring and its elixir formulas, but without the herbs, alchemy was impossible!

So when Liu Kun offered himself to help, Ye Luo wasn’t inclined to refuse.

Liu Medical Hall could cultivate such Spiritual Medicines, so Ye Luo planned to get acquainted with Liu Kun, and if possible, have Liu Kun assist in acquiring some herbs.

"Seeing your kind gesture, how could I refuse, Brother Liu? But you said this Spiritual Medicine was grown at your home. Is that true?"

Ye Luo asked Liu Kun.

Liu Kun was momentarily taken aback, although Liu Medical Hall was just a domain Liu Kun established after arriving, it was well known. It claimed to be a medical hall but was essentially a large family business with estates in several countries. Although Liu Kun announced his name with intentions, who could have guessed Ye Luo didn’t know of Liu Medical Hall!

It was evident since Ye Luo asked him whether this Spiritual Medicine was grown in Liu Kun’s family.

Liu Kun was momentarily dazed but quickly gathered his thoughts.

"Indeed, this Spiritual Medicine is grown by my family. Brother Ye, have you not heard of Liu Medical Hall?"

Just a medical hall? How should I know it?

Ye Luo felt helpless, but he couldn’t afford to offend Liu Kun, so he said, "Haha, please don’t mind, Brother Liu. I am new here and unaware of many things!"

Unfortunately, Ye Luo didn’t know what Liu Medical Hall represented, so his words still made Liu Kun uncomfortable.

At that moment, another voice rang out.
