How did a bastard like him become an immortal?

into the night.

The capital city was still brightly lit and bustling with noise at night.

This is the capital of the Tang Dynasty, and the night is a time for the powerful and wealthy to indulge in pleasure.

The pursuit of pleasure is nothing more than restaurants and brothels, and the most famous of them all is Xunxianlou, the number one restaurant in the capital.

Rumors circulated that a real fairy named Ran Chen resided in the Seeking Immortals Pavilion, attracting many to flock there.

Of course, those who could afford to dine at Xunxianlou were all high-ranking officials, nobles, and gentry. A single cup of wine here was enough for an ordinary person's monthly expenses.

This was also Li Muyun's first time visiting such a bustling and intoxicating place. Looking around, he couldn't help but admire the beauty of the Immortal Seeking Pavilion.

Xunxian Tower is located on the banks of Xunxian River in the capital. Xunxian River is a famous river in the capital, and its banks are decorated with lanterns and colorful lights all year round, making it as dazzling and beautiful as a crystal palace.

And the Immortal Seeking Pavilion is the most dazzling crystal in this Crystal Palace.

The two arrived at the entrance of the Immortal Seeking Pavilion. The servants at the door were all handsome and dashing, and they greeted the two of them to come in.

Li Muyun, dressed in flowing white robes, was handsome and dashing, while Yang Tian, ​​clad in silver armor, possessed a heroic bearing and extraordinary demeanor. The astute servants immediately recognized their exceptional qualities and treated them with utmost hospitality.

The servant eagerly introduced, "Young masters, you've come at the perfect time. Our courtesan, Miss Zhongli Henfeng, from Xunxian Pavilion, is holding a flower festival. Would you two be interested in attending?"

Yang Tian scratched his head, "What is a flower festival?"

The servant chuckled, "Miss Zhongli Henfeng is the top courtesan of Xunxian Tower, and countless men yearn to have her. However, not just anyone can be seen by Miss Zhongli, so she holds flower parties every time to select her favorite guests."

Li Muyun nodded. "I see. Since we're here, let's go take a look."

"This is the first time I've ever heard of having to let the girls choose when you're looking for a partner."

Yang Tian was somewhat puzzled. Of course, as the young master of the Yang family, he would not understand. He had always been of high status and devoted himself to cultivation. He had never been to this place of pleasure before, so how could he understand the methods used here?

Led by the servant, the two walked through a brightly lit corridor and arrived at a quiet and peaceful room.

Incense burning, tea brewing, and sweet pastries.

This place doesn't resemble a brothel; rather, it's more like a royal teahouse.

In this quiet room, besides Li Muyun and his companion, there was only one other person in the shadows, who was elegantly sipping tea with an extremely leisurely expression.

At that moment, the servant turned and left, closing the door with a click.

Yang Tian's expression changed, and he snorted coldly, instantly releasing a domineering pressure.

"Big brother, it's alright."

Li Muyun glanced around, finding no one else, patted Yang Tian on the shoulder, and then sat down in a chair. Yang Tian then composed himself and pulled up a chair to sit down as well.

The man seemed oblivious to their actions, remaining relaxed and composed, his demeanor exuding nobility.

After observing him for a moment, Li Muyun smiled faintly and said, "I wonder what Your Highness, the Crown Prince, has to say to a lowly commoner like myself?"

His hand, which was just picking up the teacup, paused slightly. He slowly put the teacup down, a slight smile playing on his lips. "Interesting! Indeed interesting!"

The crown prince stretched, stood up, and slowly walked to Li Muyun.

He wore a crimson-gold robe, a white jade belt around his waist, and a black jade hair crown on his head. His face was gentle and refined, but his eyes held a domineering air. Every gesture he made exuded the aura of a superior.

The Crown Prince glanced at Li Muyun and said indifferently, "Knowing that I am the Crown Prince, why don't you kneel down?"

Li Muyun smiled faintly, "According to the laws of the Tang Dynasty, immortals are not required to follow the etiquette of mortals, and they do not need to bow when they see officials."

"Hehe. This is getting more and more interesting." The Crown Prince no longer pretended to be dignified and sat opposite Li Muyun. "Let's get straight to the point. I am eager to find talented people, and I am here today to invite you to become my disciple."

Li Muyun was puzzled and asked, "I have no connection with His Highness the Crown Prince, and I am not famous in the capital. Why would you, the Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace, personally come to invite me to your home?"

The Crown Prince looked into Li Muyun's eyes with a half-smile, "I don't need to understand you, because I understand my second brother."

The Crown Prince tapped his fingers lightly on the table, his smile deepening. "My second brother has helped you many times, and this time he even sent you to the Immortal Seeking Pavilion to gather information. I believe he wouldn't misjudge you. Although you and I only met once today, I am even more certain that my second brother hasn't misjudged you."

He is the King of Qin, and I am the Crown Prince. What he can give you, I can also give you. And what I can give you, he cannot. You should understand which is more important.

Li Muyun also laughed, "Actually, I'm not that important to His Highness the Crown Prince. It's just that His Highness the Prince of Qin doesn't want him to have what he wants."

Having his thoughts exposed, the Crown Prince's smiling face turned slightly cold. "Oh? Is that so?"

Li Muyun stood up, bowed to the Crown Prince, and said, "Your Highness, if you do not wish to kill me, then I will leave now. If you wish to kill me, then I will kill my way out."

"Hahaha!"

Upon hearing this, the crown prince burst into laughter, a faint killing intent flashing in his eyes before dissipating.

"What an arrogant Li Muyun! I was hoping to see you challenge the Heavenly Slaughter Marquis in three years; killing you now would be too boring. Since you want to serve under the King of Qin, then you should assist him properly. The stronger his power, the more interesting our struggle will be. By the way, although this Seeking Immortals Pavilion is nominally my property, I have no right to go deep inside. The true owner is someone else."

"If you want to investigate anything, then investigate; I won't stop you. You can also go back and tell the Second Prince that his men's deaths here have nothing to do with me. Of course, if you also perish here, that has nothing to do with me either."

After saying this, the crown prince waved his crimson robe, a hidden door clicked open, and he strode away.

Yang Tian curled his lip, "What a arrogant Crown Prince of the Tang Dynasty, I really want to punch him."

“Brother, when you came to me, you were even more arrogant than him,” Li Muyun said with a smile.

"Cough cough!"

Yang Tian blushed, scratched his head, and chuckled dryly, "Young and impetuous, young and impetuous, haha!"

Just then, the door they had entered through opened, and the servant respectfully said, "Have you two guests rested enough? Miss Zhongli's flower show is about to begin, and we may take our seats now."

The Crown Prince just said that the actual owner of the Immortal Seeking Pavilion is someone else. Li Muyun thinks that this is probably true. Since he is here today, he might as well investigate it thoroughly, starting with Miss Zhongli Henfeng.

Led by the servant, the two arrived at the riverbank. The bright moon hung in the sky, and thousands of lanterns twinkled, creating a colorful and beautiful scene.

The invited guests took their seats by the river. A cluster of elegant and exquisite flower boats were moored on the shore. The bows of the boats were decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, adorned with crystals and jade, emitting a faint pink glow. They were noble yet alluring, beautiful yet luxurious.

Just then, a servant shouted loudly:

"Zhongli Henfeng has come out!"
