Chapter Seven: Frost and Snow

  "In that case, thank you, Brother Xiao," said Xiao Gu with a slight smile.

  "No need to be polite, since Brother Xiao saved Moon, then this matter will be considered as a reward for Brother Xiao's actions," Gu Changqing said with a faint smile.

  "Good," Xiao Gu didn't pretend, but in his heart he was sighing with emotion. It was inexplicable that he had saved a person of great status, and could even evade the pursuit of the Medicine Emperor's Hall. If it weren't for Gu Changqing, he would probably have been unknowingly refined into a human medicine by the Medicine Emperor's Hall!

  Xiao Gu glanced at Tian Tian, who was standing beside him, and couldn't help but feel extremely entangled! This unpredictable teleportation had actually led to such a ridiculous situation, it was really laughable and pitiful.

  "This is an Ice Snow Token, with this you have the qualification to enter the Ice Snow Temple, and at the same time it can also guarantee that any force will not take action against you," said Gu Changqing as he handed over a small, delicate token that was entirely snow-white and about one finger wide.

  Xiao Gu took it curiously.

  The icy coolness brought a refreshing feeling to Xiao Gu, the crystal pendant was small and exquisite, with a snow-white lotus flower on it, its four corners were clear and distinct, and it even had a calming effect.

  "I suppose you've also sensed it, Elder Xiao. This object is carved from billion-year-old mystic ice and has a calming effect on the mind. The lotus flower on top also has an unpredictable effect. If someone attacks you, not only can it deflect the attack, but it can also record all information." Gu Changqing said with a smile.

  "Of course, there are also some other effects that we can't know about, but it's impossible to imitate. And once someone makes a move on the person holding this token, they will be against the entire Ice Snow God Palace and the entire Xian realm's major forces. It's enough to guarantee Shao brother's safety, even if it's the Medicine Emperor Hall that doesn't dare to make a move." Gu Changqing sighed.

  "Thank you," Xiao Gu said solemnly.

  Such a precious thing, Gu Changqing was able to give it to himself without hesitation, making him extremely moved.

  However, Xiao Gu was not that kind of person who would nag and pester, besides he really needed this thing now, the favor could only be returned in the future.

  As for Gu Changqing, they gave the Ice and Snow Order to themselves. Whether or not they can enter the Ice and Snow Temple, Xiao Gu doesn't worry at all. Gu Changqing must have a way, otherwise, he wouldn't be able to take out the Ice and Snow Order.

  He wouldn't be foolish enough to think that just because he saved the white-clothed girl, Gu Changqing would give up his own opportunity and help him instead. That's a joke.

  "In that case, I'll take my leave for now. If Brother Xiao has any intention, he can come to the Wan Gu Chang Qing Hall to find me. As long as he shows this Ice Snow Token, someone will inform me at any time." Seeing Xiao Gu receive the Ice Snow Token, Gu Changqing slightly bowed his head and said.

  "Thank you, I will definitely do it when the time comes," Xiao Gu nodded.

  "Goodbye," Gu Changqing and the white-robed girl, Yuèr, shot up into the sky, disappearing from sight in an instant. The speed was so fast that even Xiao Gu couldn't help but feel shocked.

  Deep down, Xiao Gu felt that this person was a very dangerous character. Although he looked refined and elegant, with some of the flavor of a handsome young nobleman, his most basic intuition made him feel danger.

  Gu Changqing was like a bloodthirsty beast hiding in the dark, under his calm, wise and elegant appearance, he concealed a bloodthirsty and murderous heart, once it erupted, it would be a shocking storm, a sea of blood flowing forever.

  Looking at Gu Zhang Qing who had completely disappeared, Xiao Gu shifted his attention to Tan Tian.

  "Greedy heavens, you're more familiar with the immortal realm than I am. What should we do now?" Xiao Gu said helplessly, this inexplicable arrival in the immortal realm left him completely unprepared, and he was utterly ignorant of everything about the immortal realm.

  "Of course, we'll go eat first, that red-braised peacock, stir-fried dragon eel, braised phoenix egg, and ruby fruit platter..." Under Xiao Gu's disdainful gaze, Tian Huan wiped his mouth and then said sternly: "You don't know, do you? Places like the Wine Tower are where you can gather information. If you want to quickly understand the Immortal Realm, you have to do it this way."

  "Really?" Xiao Gu asked strangely.

  "Hum! More real than gold," Tian Tian swore solemnly, and to add emphasis, he nodded heavily as he spoke.

  "It's done," Xiao Gu looked at him silently, really thinking he was too gullible!

  However, he was not prepared to refuse because although Greedy Sky had ulterior motives, what he said was indeed the truth. A place like a tavern was indeed one of the most convenient places to gather information.

  After taking a glance around.

  The two of them walked excitedly towards the center of the town, where on top of the tallest building were several glittering golden characters - Zhenyuan Building.

  "Not a bad name, huh?" Xiao Gu muttered to himself: "Yu Pan Zhen Xiu is worth ten thousand dollars", I didn't expect that there would be one here too, could it be that that person has also come to the immortal realm? I haven't heard of it in the mortal world.

  "What?" Greedy Sky seemed to have heard Xiao Gu's muttering to himself, and lazily asked while leaning on Xiao Gu's left shoulder.

  "Nothing, just thinking about what to eat later," Xiao Gu said perfunctorily.

  "That's easy, your turtle grandfather is knowledgeable and knows all about the delicacies of mountains and seas, guaranteed to broaden your horizons, not..."

  "Alright, let's hurry up and get in," Xiao Gu said, unable to tolerate Greedy Sky's antics, quickening his pace.

  Living up to its reputation as a heavenly realm, upon entering the wine tower, Xiao Gu couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

  Carved railings, jade-inlaid steps, phoenix screens and painted walls, the ancient fragrance of old wooden furniture moved Xiao Yu's emotions. This wine tower has three floors, even the most ordinary first floor is extremely luxurious, all kinds of furniture are spotless and tidy, and in the central gauze curtain, someone is softly playing a melody.

  At this time, there weren't many people on the first floor, most of them were drinking by themselves, only the sound of waiters walking back and forth.

  "This young master, I don't know which floor you are going to," as soon as Xiao Gu entered, a servant came up to greet him respectfully.

  "What's going on? Apart from this kid, didn't you see your turtle grandfather?" Hearing the servant's words, Greedy Sky was displeased.

  "Sorry, it's my fault," the waiter said to a turtle that could talk, apparently without any surprise, it was obvious that in the immortal world such things were normal, if it were in the mortal world, I'm afraid it would be either scared to death or caught as a monster and boiled for soup.

  "Hmm, this is more like it," he hummed contentedly, before pulling his head back in.

  Xiao Gu helplessly sighed, this old turtle was the most unreliable and had a poisonous mouth that could kill all the fish in the river. This small-eyed turtle made Xiao Gu speechless.

  As soon as they arrived at the third floor, Xiao Gu hadn't had time to speak when Gan Tian ordered a pile of dishes and even brought two jars of old wine.

  The dishes were not many, just four dishes and one soup, but it was already enough to leave Xiao Gu speechless. These were actually the real deal: braised peacock, alligator tendon, a plate of ling fruit, and golden lion's meat jerky. The last dish was a soup that Xiao Gu couldn't identify, but it must be exceptionally good as well.

  The rest of the things, Xiao Gu had mostly only heard of, but this Peacock Xiao Gu was still fresh in his memory, because in the depths of the Ten Million Great Mountains of the Mortal Realm, there was a peacock neighbor in the Xiao family.

  Of course, the relationship is not very good.

  Even the Xiao family can only be considered to be evenly matched with this peacock, and in the past, Xiao Gu had once challenged it. With his strength at that time, he barely escaped with his life. It's imaginable how powerful the peacock is.

  But here, in this small and unremarkable town, peacocks are actually considered a delicacy! And to make matters worse, they're braised in red sauce, making them look just like braised chicken. Looking at the spread before him, Xiao Gu suddenly felt an overwhelming urge to bang his head against the wall.

  This gap is beyond what can be described by the phrase "the ends of the earth and the corners of the sea".

  Of course, with such good food, Xiao Gu naturally wouldn't be polite, and it's needless to say that they were wolfing down their food. Fortunately, this place was a private room on the third floor, otherwise, oh dear, it's hard to imagine what people would think if they saw how they were eating now.

  The last chicken bone, no, peacock bone was spat out of Xiao Gu's mouth. The two finally swept everything clean except for the two jars of wine.

  It's not that they don't want to drink, but once one person starts drinking, all the delicious food will be swept away by the other party. Two foodies, neither of whom is willing to eat less, so this situation arises.

  The waiter came in, took away the plates on the table, and then asked the two to settle the bill.

  This one, one person and a turtle, you stare at me, I glance at you, until the waiter's soft cough wakes up both.

  "Alas, it seems I haven't eaten enough," Xiao Gu said with a sigh, rubbing his swollen belly.

  "Not bad, not bad, Old Turtle hasn't had his fill yet, go and bring us another table of exactly the same," Greedy Sky said with a big burp.

  The waiter was puzzled, but since the customer is God, he had no choice but to leave with a bewildered expression.
