Comprehension Ability: I Forge a Villainous Longevity Family

Chapter 771: Chapter 548: Linjiang

"Amitabha Buddha, Star..."

"Shut up!"

Ci Hong: "..."

Feeling a bit wronged, unable to speak out.

At this moment, he had already followed Chen Zhixing’s aura all the way back to Linjiang City and, with a glance, saw Chen Zhixing sitting by the window of Moon Viewing Tower, enjoying some delicacies. Instinctively wanting to greet him, he got scolded instead.

Chen Zhixing didn’t like trouble.

Especially in Linjiang City, any mention of his name would definitely spoil his meal.

Well, as people grow older, they long to taste the flavors of their hometown, particularly as Chen Zhixing, who spent years in the Cosmic World, found things boring to the point of absurdity. Now, back in his Celestial Profound hometown, he naturally wanted to enjoy good food and drinks undisturbed.

The craftsmanship of Linjiang City’s Moon Viewing Tower was truly impressive.

Because the head chef was a cultivator of the True Self Realm, it maintained consistent quality over decades; the taste not only didn’t regress but even improved slightly.

Especially this dish "Lu Long Braised Top", using thick back and neck meat of Jiang Xiaolong, seasoned with rare bird flowers from March and adorned with osmanthus and century-old wine reduction, then simmered in rich broth for three hours, producing such a small bowl, with a taste called a unique delicacy of Jiangzhou.

Chen Zhixing took up a spoon and savored it carefully for a moment.

Upon opening his eyes, he noticed the monk who almost called out his name before, now looking flattering, standing outside the private room.

Chen Zhixia: "???"

Looking slightly annoyed at the monk, Chen Zhixia said gruffly:

"Don’t you know it’s rude to disturb my meal, not afraid of death?"

"You jest, elder."

Monk Ci Hong clasped his hands in salute to Chen Zhixing, continuing, "Star Venerable, you are an idol of mine. I grew up hearing your name, elder, and now that I have the fortune to see you in Linjiang City, how could I not come to pay my respects?"

"..."

Chen Zhixing looked speechlessly at the monk in front of him, truly at a loss of what to do for a moment.

A fan?

A star chaser?

And a monk at that?

Honestly, the monk was absolutely right. Chen Zhixing was now famous throughout the Celestial Profound Realm, thanks to making a big name for himself in his youth. It was perfectly normal for a few young experts of the new generation to idolize him.

Think about it, even fictional figures like Dongfang Bubai have die-hard fans; why not Chen Zhixing?

The only thing Chen Zhixing found slightly unsatisfactory was why his fan had to be a monk...

"Hmm, since fate has brought us together, come and sit."

Chen Zhixing didn’t overthink it. Since Ci Hong claimed to be his fan, he accepted it. In the Celestial Profound Realm now, he had no need to be concerned about trivial matters.

Li Er was gone, Yimiao hadn’t returned, and there were only a few left who could fight in the Celestial Profound Realm. For Chen Zhixing, it was a time that could be called heroically lonely.

True.

Old Celestial Saint, half alive, was waiting for him to deliver medicine; Wang Chuan guarded the Wuyou Immortal Tomb, while the Undying Divine Phoenix, that bird, was nestled deep within the earth, emerging only once every few millennia.

If we truly speak, Chen Zhixing is now, with the entire Celestial Profound, equal to almost half of an invincible force!

Being invincible, he shouldn’t think too much about trivial things, learning from Li Er that if anyone dares to provoke him, just find a reason to deal with them later.

Ci Hong clearly didn’t think this way.

Upon hearing Chen Zhixing’s invitation, the young monk happily came over to sit down. Seeing that among the dozen dishes on the table only a few were purely vegetarian, with most containing meat, he didn’t mind and casually instructed outside:

"Please bring another set of bowls and chopsticks."

"Alright, sir, coming right up."

The waiter of Moon Viewing Tower briskly brought over bowls and chopsticks, and asked if they wanted some more fine wine.

Chen Zhixing, of course, had no objections.

When the wine was served.

Chen Zhixing remained silent, still holding his small bowl, sipping slowly, watching the people coming and going on the street outside Linjiang City, with a calm and indifferent expression.

Since Chen Zhixing didn’t speak, Ci Hong naturally didn’t dare to say much.

Taking small bites of food and sips of wine, not caring whether it was meat or vegetables.

Indeed, in the Celestial Profound Realm, monks rarely have restrictions against consuming alcohol and meat.

A meal, eaten from afternoon until nightfall.

When the lights outside were first lit, with children running around the streets holding lanterns, the dotted lights making the whole street hazy, Chen Zhixing, finally coming out of his nostalgic Divine Thought, turned to Ci Hong and said:

"Hmm, do you want me to give you an autograph or something?"

Ci Hong: "???"

What does getting an autograph mean?

Does this Demon Venerable think he wants to join the Star Palace and needs a Taoist card introduction?

However, before Ci Hong could speak, Chen Zhixing across from him shook his head and smiled, and in Ci Hong’s eyes, his whole being seemed to blur for a moment.

"I was overthinking it. Just speak, why did you seek me out, considering your polite words, if it’s not troublesome, I can lend you a hand."

Sometimes, fate is just so wonderful.

Since Ci Hong could recognize Chen Zhixing and could use language to tug at his heartstrings, it meant that today Ci Hong deserved an extra share of fortune.

At Chen Zhixing’s current realm, casually revealing something, for someone like Ci Hong in the Nirvana Realm, could be considered ’Good Fortune’ indeed.

However, interestingly, faced with Chen Zhixing’s inquiry, Ci Hong didn’t propose his own request, merely showing a calm expression and saluting to Chen Zhixing, saying: "In reply to the elder, I have no demands. The reason for coming today to meet you is simply due to an unsettled heart, the six thieves acting up. If I have caused any trouble, I hope the elder will forgive me."
