In the Imperial City of the Xue Yue Country, the most famous place was probably the Imperial Palace. Apart from it, there was another place which also enjoyed a good reputation.
The best beverage in the Imperial City was the Lovesick alcohol. It gave drunk people the impression of being drowned in love.
There was only one place where that alcohol could be made: the Lovesick Forest.
Many people in the Imperial City only knew the name but had never been to the Lovesick Forest. Many of them had also never tasted Lovesick alcohol either because the Lovesick alcohol couldn’t be brought outside of the Lovesick Forest. That was an unbreakable rule and everybody had to abide by that rule, even noble and wealthy cultivators. Even the members of the Imperial Clan had to comply with the rules of the Lovesick Forest.
Since the creation of the Lovesick Forest, the rule had never been changed.
The rumors said that the creator of the Lovesick alcohol had made it especially for lovers.
Besides, for some reason, only wealthy and noble people could enter the Lovesick Forest. Ordinary people were not permitted entry.
At that moment, Nan Shan and Lin Feng entered the Lovesick Forest, but they weren’t riding their horses anymore. They had to walk as it was forbidden to ride a horse inside the forest.
When Lin Feng saw the scenery, he entered into a calm and peaceful state of mind. He was surrounded by an emerald forest of bamboo trees, small bridges and flowing water. In the air, there were exquisite fragrances which gave a pleasant feeling to the people with each breath.
It was hard to imagine that there were such sacred places in the Imperial City. It somehow looked similar to the teacher’s peach orchard, but the Lovesick Forest looked even more mysterious and mystical.
“What a nice place.”
Lin Feng was sighing in admiration. Some people were drinking alcohol in the middle of the bamboo forest. They all seemed to be having a great time. The majority of them were people of high status, but they didn’t look arrogant because they were inside the Lovesick Forest and it wouldn’t be unlikely for them to come across people with an even higher social status as theirs.
Nan Shan guided Lin Feng on a narrow and winding path made of bluestone. They were walking slowly, and after a short moment, a lake appeared in front of Lin Feng. It was surrounded by bamboo trees, grass and plants. It seemed like a dreamscape.
In the middle of the lake, there was a broad and vast pavilion. There were many people inside that pavilion.
“That is precisely the place. Young master Lin, you can go there.” said Nan Shan while smiling. A path made of red wood led to that pavilion.
