Chapter 169
However, Su Luo still remembered the master's advice before he left. If he came to the capital of mortals, he should try not to expose his identity as a cultivator, otherwise, it would easily cause unnecessary trouble.
While thinking, he came to a hidden corner, then changed into a plain green dress, and then put on a hat and veil, and then walked towards the city gate. Now the soldiers at the city gate are conducting an investigation. Everyone who enters must be checked before they can enter the city.
Su Luo also lined up honestly and planned to enter the city. When it was his turn, the guard at the city gate said very impolitely: "Take off your hat and veil!"
Listening to the other party's tone, Su Luo was a little dissatisfied, but this is a mortal kingdom, so he didn't stubbornly do things according to the rules of mortals.
He honestly took off his hat, but after Su Luo removed his disguise, all the guards at the city gate looked over at this moment, staring at Su Luo with their eyes wide open, unable to say a word.
Until Su Luo took the hat back, he said, "Can I go in now?"
However, the guard was still standing there, not moving. The other guards stammered to him, "You can...you can go in."
"Yes."
Su Luo nodded gently, then walked into the city, but the guards still looked at Su Luo's back.
"Is that person a fairy? How can there be such a beautiful person?"
"It should be. How can we mortals look like that?"
As the largest and most prosperous city in the entire dynasty, the capital actually has many immortal cultivators coming here, and there are also many Qi cultivators who have stayed in the Qi Refining Stage for their entire lives. They are greedy for the glory and wealth of the world and seek a position in the mortal kingdom.
Moreover, the place of mortals is actually also for cultivation. Those with good talents will generally become immortal cultivators, while those with poor cultivation talents will come back to inherit the throne.
While thinking, Su Luo continued to stroll in the imperial city. Not long after, there were many snack shops here. The aroma of various foods immediately made Su Luo's appetite whetted. Then he hurried to a small stall selling snacks.
"How much is this sweet-scented osmanthus cake?"
"Two cents a piece."
Hearing the other party's words, Su Luo also took out two cents and handed it to the other party. The boss looked at Su Luo's outstretched hand and was stunned for a moment. This hand was too beautiful, like exquisite white porcelain, making people love it. After reacting, he also smiled and handed over a piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake.
However, he did not ask much. After all, this kind of well-fed person is mostly the son of some big man. It is better for him not to provoke the other party to avoid getting into trouble.
After Su Luo got the cake, he couldn't wait to stuff a piece into his mouth, but the next second, the previous expectation disappeared.
‘The taste doesn’t seem to be very good. It can’t be compared with the cakes of Haoyue Sect. Is this the food for mortals? Although it looks good and smells good, the taste is really so-so.’
After that, Su Luo bought some other snacks on this street one after another. Although they did have some characteristics, the taste was also so-so.
So far, Su Luo no longer had any hope for the food of these mortals, but continued to walk aimlessly on the street. Not long after, he saw beggars begging on the roadside, as well as hurried passers-by, etc. Although he had seen these contents in books before, there was still a big difference from seeing them in reality.
Looking at the mortals struggling to survive, Su Luo sighed, just sighing that mortals seemed to have a hard life. Everyone was very busy and the food was not very good. Some people didn’t even have the opportunity to be so busy.
Su Luo suddenly felt a little fortunate at this time. Fortunately, he was not a mortal. Although he had seen the hardships of mortals, Su Luo himself was not the kind of person who was compassionate.
He had a very hard life before, and it seemed that he was not much better than these mortals, or even worse.
As he was thinking, he suddenly smelled a strong aroma of wine.
"Oh, what am I worrying about here? I'm not such a hypocritical person. I don't know how good the wine in this mortal world is. The food is so bad, the wine can't be any worse, right?"
Thinking of this, he hurriedly walked towards the source of the wine aroma. The food was so bad, the wine couldn't be any worse, how bad could the wine be?
With this idea in mind, Su Luo walked into the restaurant.
Although Su Luo's face was now firmly blocked, and the clothes on his body were also the kind of loose style that concealed his figure, his extraordinary temperament was still too eye-catching.So, just like before, it attracted a lot of attention.
Su Luo looked around and soon noticed that there was a man in the corner who was a bit interesting. This man was completely different from the others in the tavern and had a somewhat mean face.
But his temperament was elegant and noble. Others might not be able to see it, but Su Luo could see it at a glance. The man in front of him was wearing a human skin mask. Obviously, this man was not an ordinary person. He should be a high official or a member of the royal family.
However, Su Luo didn't care so much about these. He didn't think about what to do when he came out to experience, and he was still looking for the answer.
As soon as he sat down, the waiter came to greet him.
"Sir, what do you want to write?"
"Prepare a portion of your best wine."
"Oh, okay!"
As he spoke, Su Luo took out ten copper coins as a reward for the waiter. After seeing the money, the waiter immediately left with a smile on his face.
Not long after, the waiter came to Su Luo with a jar of wine.
"Sir! Your wine is here! This is the best Qianlizui in our store. I can guarantee that in the entire imperial capital, except for the wine in the palace, no other restaurant can compare to our Qianlizui."
"Qianlizui? This name is not bad."
He was attracted by the aroma of Qianlizui.
Su Luo nodded gently, and then the waiter was about to leave.
He picked up the wine jar, poured himself a bowl, and then drank it all. After a bowl of wine, Su Luo's original expectant eyes also disappeared completely.
This is the best wine in the mortal imperial capital? It can only be said that it is not comparable to the immortal drunkenness of the sect. It is like drinking it without drinking it. Although it does have some taste, it is just like that. In Su Luo's opinion, it is just slightly better than ordinary water.
Li Yao, who was not far away, was looking at the direction of Su Luo without blinking. She was the one wearing a human skin mask. Like everyone else, she had noticed Su Luo when Su Luo entered this restaurant.
