After the mind-reading cripple junior sister, the entire sect rose to prominence.

Chapter 29 Not as good as the High Immortal Child

When the waiter asked the questions, his gaze subtly swept over the three women's attire, and then his expression revealed his understanding, inevitably carrying a hint of disdain.

As for Mo Jiuwei, who was being held in Chen Lan's arms, she was naturally ignored.

The restaurant sees countless cultivators coming and going every day, and even the waiters have long since developed a keen eye, able to roughly gauge a person's wealth with just a glance.

The Immortal Sect was used to being poor. Even though the group had gained a lot from their trip to Qingfeng Ridge and improved their lives a little, their clothing and swords were still far from exquisite and beautiful.

Someone who can't even part with these things would be even less likely to buy a sweet soup that costs 1,200 crystals!
Someone overheard the conversation and looked over curiously.

"Look, they can't afford it either."

"Hehe, that Seven Treasures Wine Soup is not something ordinary people can afford, so it's perfectly normal that they can't afford it."

"Judging from their stunned expressions, they're probably scared half to death by this price!"

Some people chuckled, watching the spectacle unfold while they ate.

In fact, the people who spoke were also unable to afford such a fine soup, but they were self-aware enough not to embarrass themselves by speaking out.

Meanwhile, Chen Lan was listening to Mo Jiuwei's thoughts.

[Tsk, it is a bit expensive.]

"But this is a good thing; eating it will allow me to accumulate spiritual energy in my body."

Most importantly, it causes no harm at all; it's very gentle!

In that case, what is there to hesitate about?
"One serving, please," Chen Lan said immediately.

The waiter paused for a moment. "You mean, a serving of Seven Treasures Wine Soup?"

"Of course, go quickly."

Jiuwei was really craving it.

"Hey, yes."

The waiter acknowledged and then left. As he left, he was still thinking that one cannot judge a book by its cover, and he never expected that he would be so mistaken.

"I ordered one for you, I'll feed you when it arrives." Chen Lan gently tapped Mo Jiuwei's little nose and said softly, "Just wait a moment."

That's great!

[My senior sisters are so nice, hehe.]

Mo Jiuwei felt relieved and obediently waited to be fed.

The people at other tables also had various expressions, conveying a range of indescribable feelings.

A little while later, the Seven Treasures Wine Soup arrived. Chen Lan brought it to her and picked up a small spoon to feed Mo Jiuwei.

"Wait a minute! Fellow Daoist, this Seven Treasures Wine Soup cannot be fed to an infant!"

The people at the next table were already looking this way, and when they saw Chen Lan's actions, they were startled and quickly came out to stop her.

Others also began to speak up.

"Yes, how can we feed such a wonderful thing to a baby? That would be such a waste!"

"Children's spiritual roots haven't been fully developed yet. Wouldn't it be a waste to give them such nourishing foods? Besides, they might even die from a burst of spiritual energy!"

"Even if you have money, you can't waste it like this. Adults don't eat it, but you give it to children. What were you thinking?"

"Hmph, I wonder who they're trying to show off to!"

Some genuinely care, while others are sour.

Ji Qingqing didn't expect so many people to pay attention to her simple meal. "Thank you all for your concern. We appreciate your kindness, but don't worry, my child can eat this kind of food. It's fine." This was just the downside of arriving late and not being able to sit in a private room.

"You really can't eat that, it'll make you sick!"

"Exactly! You wouldn't be doing this on purpose just to save face, would you? You know babies can't eat this, but you still insist on feeding them, and if something goes wrong, you'll cause trouble for the restaurant!"

"I think so too. She must have regretted it a bit, which is why she used this trick to try and get a refund."

"How could an ordinary child withstand such spiritual power? Do they really think every child is a celestial being?"

Gao Xiantong is a recognized "prodigy" in the cultivation world. He has a special physique and can absorb spiritual energy on his own when he is still an infant. By the age of one, his spiritual root has taken shape, and by the age of two, he has truly entered the Qi Refining stage!
After that, his cultivation progressed by leaps and bounds. At only fifteen years old, he had already become a Foundation Establishment cultivator, which shocked countless cultivators!

However, fate is cruel to the talented. Just when everyone thought he would surely ascend to immortality, he died in a secret realm at the age of seventeen, which caused countless people to feel regret.

If anyone could ingest something imbued with spiritual energy during infancy and suffer no harm, it would undoubtedly be Gao Xiantong.

So now when someone mentions Gao Xiantong, others laugh and mock him without any politeness, as if they think Chen Lan and the others are overestimating themselves.

Du Yue frowned. "It's our child, and we can feed her however we want. We don't need to trouble you all. Besides... who says she's necessarily inferior to Gao Xiantong? I think she'll definitely be more capable than Gao Xiantong in the future."

If these people are just showing concern, then she thanked them.

But some of them were clearly there to laugh at us and had no good intentions, so there's no need to be polite to them.

"Hey, you actually think you can surpass Gao Xiantong? That's hilarious."

"That's right, how could a child like Gao Xiantong be compared to an ordinary infant?"

Hearing the commotion, the restaurant manager, led by a waiter, jogged over. "Fellow Daoist, I heard you're going to feed this soup to your child? That's absolutely unacceptable! Something bad will happen!"

Chen Lan knew the manager's intention in stepping forward. He had heard those people talking nonsense and thought they were deliberately trying to cause problems with the child so they could cause trouble for the restaurant and extort money from them.

So they spoke directly, saying that it was their own choice and that the restaurant had nothing to do with it under any circumstances.

Hearing this, the manager finally smiled and said, "In that case, I apologize for disturbing you. Please make yourselves at home."

Why is it so hard to get a meal?

These people are just bored and have nothing better to do than meddle in other people's business.

[Senior sisters, forget about them, feed me already!]

Mo Jiuwei ignored the people beside her, and just opened her little mouth impatiently, like a fledgling bird waiting to be fed.

Du Yue, who was initially a little angry, couldn't help but laugh when she saw this, and took the spoon to carefully feed her.

This action attracted the attention of almost the entire floor of the restaurant. Everyone put down their chopsticks and looked in this direction. Some people even stood up to see clearly.

[Mmm! So delicious!]

[It tastes really good! Much better than plain deer milk.]

One more bite, one more bite.

Mo Jiuwei ate happily, one bite after another, while Du Yue fed her spoonful after spoonful.

As those people watched, their expressions changed.

How come nothing's wrong?
Some people craned their necks to look, trying to see pain on Mo Jiuwei's face, or symptoms such as bleeding from her seven orifices.

But no, absolutely none!
All I could see was a fair and tender little face, and a little mouth that kept eating; you could even tell from her expression that she was enjoying the food.

"Wow! This is amazing! This child is extraordinary!" someone exclaimed in surprise.

I went shopping tonight, so this update is a bit late.
