Chen Lin had never seen such an ugly bird. There was not a single hair on its body, and it had large sarcomas. Each large sarcoma was covered with densely packed small sarcomas, making it extremely uncomfortable to look at.
The bird's beak is also wrinkled, and its two eyes are one big and one small, one is triangular and the other is irregular, without any luster.
The most unsightly thing is that the other party is still making alluring moves.
However, such a disgusting scene makes people feel a sense of admiration and even desire for no reason, as if what is in front of them is not an ugly big bird, but a stunning beauty.
While observing, Chen Lin's golden soul power suddenly activated automatically, and then his abnormal emotions disappeared instantly.
This made him secretly surprised. This actually had the ability to invade the divine soul, and it was so subtle that even he couldn't find it. It required the power of the golden soul to automatically counter it.
Glancing at the ugly bird, he didn't fight back but walked towards the tavern.
He didn't really come here to drink, but to ask for help, so he had to put down his attitude.
Leaving the door, there was first a short corridor, and after walking out, there was a spacious hall. After looking around, there was no private space such as private rooms.
This was very inconsistent with the habits of immortal cultivators, and Chen Lin was a little surprised.
There are more than a dozen sets of tables and chairs placed in the hall. At this moment, five tables are occupied by people, and the rest are empty.
Seeing that no one came to receive him, he randomly chose an empty seat to sit down and looked at the situation in the tavern.
The first discovery was that there was some kind of formation restriction here, the consciousness could not be separated from the body, and the perception was also suppressed. He wanted to sense the general cultivation level of the guests at other tables, but he could not do it at all.
This alone made Chen Lin look at this tavern with admiration.
His spiritual consciousness was already powerful, and it increased dramatically after he advanced to the state of becoming a god. The formation that allowed his spiritual consciousness to remain inseparable from his body was extraordinary, and the cost of maintaining it was even higher.
Another discovery is that there is a small magic circle on each table, the specific function of which is unknown.
Apart from these two things, there is nothing surprising. The spatial layout is no different from that of an ordinary pub. One side is the customer area, and the other side is a long counter, which is just ordinary wood and looks a bit crude.
Behind the counter, there is a wooden staircase leading upward.
What puzzled him was that, let alone the proprietress, there was not even a waiter in the tavern. He didn't know what the situation was.
However, he did not ask, but waited patiently.
Since this pub is so famous, there must be something different about it, just wait and see.
After a while, the so-called mysterious proprietress has not appeared yet. Instead, a few more customers have come in, some alone, some with a few people, but no more than four people at most, because each table is only equipped with four.
Chair.
After these people came in, they all sat quietly in their seats and said nothing. Occasionally, their voices were very low when they communicated, but Chen Lin still learned some information from the few words.
It turns out that this tavern requires all tables to be occupied before it can open.
The so-called screening of customers is the ugly big bird at the door. Those who like the other party can come in. If the other party does not like it, they can only leave.
If you force your way in, the consequences will not be good.
Knowing this, Chen Lin closed his eyes slightly and continued to wait while comprehending the spell.
After another full hour or so, more than a dozen tables finally had customers, and then they saw a slightly plump, mature woman wearing a tight-waisted colorful patterned robe walking down the stairs.
As soon as this woman appeared, all the customers looked over.
Chen Lin's eyes also lit up. This woman's appearance was not outstanding, but she had a unique charm. Every frown, smile, and every move could tug at the heartstrings just right.
Charming nature.
After making a comment in his mind, Chen Lin withdrew his gaze.
After experiencing countless reincarnations while absorbing the energy of the Taoist Stone, his state of mind has been polished to an extremely high level. It is not said that there are no waves in the ancient well, but he will not be swayed by desires.
The guests at the other tables were not as calm as him. They all looked like they had lost their souls. Even the two female nuns were no exception. Their eyes followed the body of the landlady as they moved back and forth.
sharp!
Chen Lin secretly praised it again.
The other party absolutely did not use any means, everything happened naturally without any flaws.
Without means, there is no defense. You can only rely on your own state of mind to deal with it.
"Welcome all fellow Taoists to join us, Snow Lady would be very grateful."
The landlady said with a smile.
The voice is round and smooth, very pleasant to the ear, with a hint of imperceptible charm. It is obviously just an ordinary sentence, but it goes straight to the depths of the soul.
Although charming, it makes people unable to think of blasphemy.
Even Chen Lin couldn't help but make waves and had a crush on the landlady.
"Snow Fairy is really getting more and more powerful, I'd better start selling bars quickly, otherwise I might lose my composure!"
At this time, a helpless old man spoke, but he did not look at the proprietress, but stared at the table below.
"good."
The landlady smiled, lightly opened her red lips, and said a nice word.
Then he took out a small wine bottle from under the counter.
"Since some fellow Taoists can't wait any longer, Xue Niang will not waste everyone's time. First, she will take out a pot of Xue Niang's newly brewed wine and give it to everyone to taste for free. It is a token of Xue Niang's kindness."
After saying that, his jade-like hand brushed across the counter, and several rows of crystal-clear small wine glasses appeared.
Then lift the jug and pour wine into the glass.
A refreshing aroma of wine wafted out, and the hall finally had the atmosphere of a tavern.
The small wine pot seemed like it could never be filled. After all the wine glasses were filled, there was still wine. Then the landlady flicked her hand again, and the wine glasses disappeared one by one.
The next moment, tables appeared one after another, and they were allocated according to the number of customers. There were several glasses of wine for each person.
Chen Lin's eyes flashed.
Although a teleportation array was used, the other party's techniques were quite sophisticated. Even if they couldn't use their senses, they could conclude based on analysis that the cultivation level of this landlady was at least at the Nascent Soul stage or above.
The proprietress poured herself another glass, raised it gently, and said with a smile: "This wine is called the love of two people. I hope that all Taoist friends can find their own Taoist partners on the road. If there is no love on the road, there will be love."
Only by walking on the ruthless road with your heart will you not be lonely on the road, do it!"
After that, drink it all in one gulp.
The other guests raised their glasses one after another, drank in one gulp, and then closed their eyes tightly, seemingly immersed in some kind of artistic conception.
Chen Lin checked it first and made sure there was nothing wrong before drinking it slowly.
As soon as the wine entered the throat, a strange feeling arose, and then his head sank, and Luo Qinglan's figure appeared in front of him.
"Husband, you are finally here."
Luo Qinglan seemed to have lost some weight, but still had the aura of the Divine Phoenix Goddess. Her eyes were full of love, and she slowly approached him.
Knowing that this was an illusion and that he could break it with just a thought, Chen Lin did not do that. Instead, he stretched out his hands and embraced his wife.
Luo Qinglan whispered in a low voice, telling her feelings of lovesickness, and Chen Lin also listened quietly, feeling the beautiful artistic conception.
After a full stick of incense, Luo Qinglan's figure slowly faded away, and then the figures of Qin Lingyu, Sun Caiyi, and Princess Qinghua appeared one after another.
After a long time, the illusion dissipated.
“Good wine!”
Chen Lin praised it without hesitation.
Others also woke up and praised him one after another.
The landlady's smile became even stronger, and with a wave of her hand, she took back all the wine glasses on the table, and then said: "Fellow Taoists, just like it. This spiritual wine has another effect. Anyone who appears in your illusion must be the one you love."
The higher the order, the deeper the love."
After a pause, she continued: "But this wine is called mutual love. Only when there is a lover in the illusion, can you get the unique energy contained in the spiritual wine, which is of great benefit to your cultivation."
Chen Lin's brows moved. It turned out that this spiritual wine had the effect of improving cultivation, but he was far from meeting the conditions and didn't feel it at all.
However, a cup of spiritual wine with such characteristics is worth a lot of money. It is quite generous that the other party is willing to give away so many cups at once.
"Okay, the foreplay is over, let's get down to business. Today's theme is a blind selection auction. Three pots of spiritual wine are prepared for all Taoist friends to choose from. Which one you choose depends on personal fate. Now let's start the bidding. The first three customers will get the wine.
!”
The landlady explained, and with a flick of her hand, three identical wine bottles appeared on the counter.
Chen Lin was surprised when he saw this. He could understand the auction method, but there was no introduction and the quantity was limited, which made him a little confused.
There were fifteen tables in the hall, all of which were occupied by guests, but the other party only brought out three jugs of wine, which meant that most of the guests could not drink.
For a tavern, this way of running a business is really enlightening.
"Ten spiritual crystals!"
Before Chen Lin could think about it, the former old man spoke first, and the price he gave made him want to complain.
Ten pieces of spiritual crystals are too exaggerated. They are more expensive than ten thousand years of spiritual milk.
But he immediately became confused and confused, and saw other customers looking as if they had been given a shot of blood, their eyes shining, vying for quotations.
"Twelve dollars!"
"Fifteen dollars!"
"Twenty dollars!"
In the blink of an eye, the price climbed to twenty pieces of spiritual crystal, making Chen Lin wonder if these people were all wine trustees.
However, this tavern has been operating in Baiyu City for hundreds of years and has an amazing reputation. It should not use such low-level methods.
So, these three pots of spiritual wine are really worth the price, or there are some additional benefits that he doesn't know about.
Prices continue to climb.
When it reached forty spiritual crystals, the atmosphere began to calm down.
