Immortality Starts From Making Money.

The next day.

News of the Golden Phoenix restaurant had spread everywhere. Although many were still skeptical of the news.

Still, the fame of the restaurant was growing with every passing second.

Most especially in the central district. Many were fortunate to witness the opening of the Golden Phoenix restaurant and saw how those who tasted the food reacted.

With the sun rising on the horizon, hundreds of people had already gathered in front of the Golden Phoenix restaurant.

"Do you think the rumor is true?"

"I don't think so… Those rumors might be propaganda spread by the restaurant."

"But I heard a young miss and her maid, a Golden Core Expert, visited yesterday."

"Humph! That's all a lie. What's a Golden Core Expert? There are many of them in the capital. With enough money, you can hire any of them." An arrogant woman responded with a snort.

While the crowd was chatting among themselves, their number increased.

Many clans had sent their representatives to confirm if the rumors were true or not.

A potential rival for the Nine Stars Restaurant was a welcome development to many in the Imperial City.

In less than an hour, the crowd number had crossed over a thousand and it was not slowing down.

Every second, a group would join them.

The air filled with anticipation.

Slowly, carriages began to arrive one after the other. Some were ordinary while others were made from expensive wood with their clan insignia.

With the arrival of the carriage, the crowd was stunned and many couldn't wait to see how things unfolded.

Now, the Golden Phoenix could not hide. Today, the truth would be revealed.

Even they were curious and wanted to confirm if the rumor was true. They were all patiently waiting for the Golden Phoenix restaurant to open its door.

"What is taking them so long?" A voice asked impatiently.

They had been standing over an hour, yet the restaurant had yet to open its door.

Many of them were already feeling impatient but for the sake of tasting a Tier-1 Spirit Food, they all controlled their anger.

Suddenly, the door to the restaurant was pushed open and a beautiful young woman appeared.

Without looking at the crowd, she placed a board beside the entrance and took her seat.

Reading the board, the crowd was stunned. This was the first time they saw such strange rules.

Talking inside the restaurant is not allowed and if violated will be banned for life.

A person can only order one plate a day with no takeout.

Fighting and disturbance is straight out of ban and if a clan violates the above rules, every member of their clan would be banned for life.

Meeting and social gatherings are not allowed. Eat your food and get out.

Only two people from the same clan or friends are allowed to enter at the same time.

Do not question the authority of the servers or you will be banned for life.

Before entering, you must display your wealth, at least you must have five thousand middle spirit stones before you can enter, failure in doing so– straight up ban.

Fighting and shouting around the restaurant premises is not allowed and if violated– straight up ban.

Anyone below the Golden Core Realm could only eat our Ordinary Grade Tier-1 Spirit Food.

For Golden Core Realm Experts, they can order the Standard Grade Tier-1 Spirit Food.

For Peak Golden Core Realm Experts, they can order the Noble Grade Tier-1 Spirit Food.

For those above the Golden Core Realm, they can request the restaurant to specially make a Spirit Food according to their cultivation technique.

To taste our special Tier-1 Spirit Tea, you need to prove your loyalty for a month and spending a specific amount would allow you to receive a VIP card from our restaurant.

Reading the rules, everywhere was quiet. Those inside the carriage could not believe their eyes.

Pedestrians walking on the street were stunned and they stopped, looking at the rules as if they were seeing the most absurd thing in their life.

While the crowd was trying to wrap their heads around such absurd rules.

A young man in an expensive silk robe stepped forward from the crowd and shouted.

"Who do you think you are? What with these absurd rules. All this is a gimmick for your secret not to be revealed." He pointed at her, his gaze filled with righteous indignation.

"Everyone knows it is impossible for anyone to prepare a Tier-1 Spirit Food. So, why don't you stop with your facade."

Most of the people nodded, looking at the woman with disdain.

This is the Imperial Capital. How could such a trick work on them?

The young female attendant turned and looked at him and opened her mouth.

"You're banned."

Hmm!

Everyone was stunned. The young man was stunned for a moment before his face contorted in annoyance.

He opened his mouth to speak but was interrupted.

"One more word and your clan will be banned for life."

Huh!

Watching her face, everyone realized she was not bluffing. Even the arrogant young man could see things were not going as he planned.

Just before the crowd could recover from their shock, a girl with her maid walked forward.

They did not bat an eye at the young man or the crowd. They stopped in front of the female attendant and her maid showed her their wealth.

The female attendant nodded and they entered the restaurant.

Looking at their back, a man whispered.

"I saw them yesterday. They are the first people to enter the restaurant."

Quickly, five people walked out of the crowd and approached the attendant.

Following the rules, they showed her their wealth before they were allowed into the restaurant.

With more people entering the restaurant, those inside the carriage began to step down.

Watching them, the crowd held their breath. They were the young scions of the Imperial City.

Following the rules, each was allowed into the restaurant.

The young man that was banned stood frozen on the spot not believing his eyes.

This was not supposed to happen. The restaurant was obviously lying about Tier-1 Spirit Food.

Yet, reality was different from his thoughts.

Although many people had entered, many were still waiting outside to see the result.

Ten minutes later, those inside began to come out one after the other.

Their expressions alone spoke volumes of how magical the food was.

"They won me over. I'm no longer going to the Nine Stars Restaurant." the small miss said to her maid while rubbing her stomach in satisfaction.

Her maid nodded in agreement. Only a fool would go back to the Nine Stars Restaurant.

"Young Miss, how do you think the Standard Grade Tier-1 Spirit Food would taste like?" The maid asked, already salivating.

"Ahhh… I don't want to think about it since I can't eat it. But tomorrow, you will try it and tell me how it is."

The maid shook her head, "I think we should tell your mother about it."

"You're right. How can I forget about my mother?" She slapped her forehead.

Listening to their conversation, the crowd was stunned. Before they could recover from their shock, the young masters and young misses came out.

"How could there be such magical food in this world? I need to report to my clan immediately." A young master whispered and rushed back to his carriage.

Suddenly, a middle-aged man stopped one of the young masters.

"Young Master, can you please confirm if the rumored Tier-1 Spirit Food is true?" He asked respectfully.

The Young Master looked at the man in disdain. "Do you think if it was a lie the restaurant would still remain standing?"

"Forget the Nine Stars Restaurant, just their Ordinary Grade Tier-1 Spirit Food had already superseded them." He snorted and left impatiently.

More and more people came wearing a look of satisfaction and shock.

Most importantly, they left in a rush to report to their clan.

Now, even a fool could tell this was no gimmick but the truth.

The Golden Phoenix Restaurant meant business, and they were here to stay.
