Speaking of this, the pride on Lei Jiang's face was looming. After all, he came from the first sect of the Demonic Path. He also had a kind of arrogance in his bones and did not want to be compared with others.
Qingyun nodded confusedly. Lei Jiang didn't say what he should pay attention to after talking for a long time, so he just thought about it and let it go.
After all, he was almost at his uncle Yichen's place. He finally had a place to stay and could see his living relatives. Qingyun's heart was filled with excitement, and the excitement on his face was beyond words.
Although Lei Jiang has not cultivated the orthodox demonic energy, over the years, the aura of the demonic arts around him is still very obvious. Although the city defense formation of the Immortal Sword Sect is no longer used alone to guard against people in the demonic path, this kind of righteous way He rarely came to the core town of the sect, so the sudden appearance of a magic master swaggering in was quite eye-catching.
Fortunately, Yao Mengxun gave him a jade plaque of Jing Citian's identity. This was a genuine item and could not be imitated by others, so his identity became much safer.
The three of them simply inquired while looking for a place to stay. Without much effort, Lei Jiang led the three of them to find an inn specifically for monks to rest and recuperate. Oh no, in fact, all the inns in Yaoguang City are only for monks. open.
Coincidentally, the place where they stayed this time was still the same "Xuanji Pavilion" as the inn they stayed in Qiyuan City a few days ago, but the rooms in this Xuanji Pavilion were much more luxurious than those in Qiyuan City. More than twice that.
Comparing the one in Qiyuan City with the one in Yaoguang City, they are just like a beggar in ragged clothes and a rich man wearing silk and silk.
Unfortunately, there is only one nave for the monks to eat, and the various wing rooms are just like ordinary people's houses, adopting a courtyard-style structure, and there are not many guest rooms at all.
The inn here is three stories high. The red and black building is not like an inn at all, but more like a luxurious restaurant.
Two stone sculptures that cannot be seen as He Rui beasts stand elegantly on both sides of the door. The plaque on the door beam seems to Qingyun to be longer and wider than others, and the three words "Xuanji Pavilion" are even more shining. It feels brighter than gold inlaid.
"This Xuanji Pavilion is really tacky. It doesn't feel as simple as a small place."
Qingyun curled his lips and couldn't help but mutter in his heart.
In his opinion, the most beautiful thing is the natural essence of things, not the flashy appearance. The corruption of gold and jade will make it look even more ugly.
Seeing Qingyun pouting at the gilt characters on the Xuanji Pavilion plaque, Yao Mengxun suddenly smiled and said casually:
“It feels like some people can’t eat grapes and say they are sour!”
When Yao Mengxun said this, Qingyun thought of the feeling of being completely disappointed when he saw her for the first time. He suddenly broke out in cold sweat, scratched his head quickly, and mumbled:
"Hehe, hehe, Sister Meng is joking."
"I didn't tell you, why are you nervous? Let's go in quickly."
While the two were talking outside the pavilion, Lei Jiang had already taken care of everything inside.
At his request, Yao Mengxun had been covering his face with a veil since he entered the city. According to Lei Jiang's words, there are many disputes in the big city. With Yao Mengxun's stunning appearance, any man will have some thoughts in his heart.
Moreover, although this is the territory of the Immortal Sword Sect, it does not mean that there are no monks from other sects stopping here. If you are unlucky and encounter an opponent who can't even defeat Lei Jiang, I'm afraid the consequences will be disastrous.
Therefore, in order to avoid unnecessary complications, Yao Mengxun also very wisely brought a specially made veil treasure.
However, even though her beauty was hidden, her noble temperament radiated from the inside out. As soon as she stepped into the Xuanji Pavilion, she attracted the attention of countless inquiring, frivolous, and even unscrupulous monks.
I saw Yao Mengxun smile lightly, not caring about the public eyes, and gently took Qingyun's arm.
This small move immediately caused audible sighs to be heard in the entire hall. The male monks on the table after table withdrew their gazes, but Qingyun kept complaining in his heart.
Of course, the reason why they looked back was not because of Yao Mengxun's actions, but because of Lei Jiang's cold snort with the wind-controlling realm. The strong pressure was revealed, and it immediately made their ears hurt. Don't dare to look around.
Fortunately, Lei Jiang only punished them with small punishments and large warnings, and did not unleash their cultivation unbridledly. He just gave them a little light at the right time and took them straight to the third floor without making any stop.
Looking around, the three-story attic of Xuanji Pavilion is more prosperous than the previous one. According to Yao Mengxun's perception, the first floor is almost filled with low-level monks who have just entered the world of cultivation. Most of them are in the realm of spiritual guidance and hundreds of meridians. .
On the second floor, there were mostly Yuan Hua realm monks like him and some Concentration realm monks who had just condensed their souls. On the third floor, almost all of them were high-level monks, and no low-level monks could be seen.
After going upstairs, they realized that the pavilions in Yaoguang City actually contained the universe.
This loft looks like an inverted tower from the inside. The first floor is the smallest and only provides meals. The second floor is slightly larger than the first floor. It provides meals and some singing and dancing performances, but the decoration is much more luxurious than the first floor.
The third floor is the largest, but there is no place to eat, but they are all neat guest rooms. Not to mention Qingyun, it was the first time for Yao Mengxun to see this kind of building that contained heaven and earth, and he couldn't help but marvel in his heart.
Similarly, Lei Jiang still asked for three rooms this time, and the layout was the same as last time, but the cost was more than three times that of Qiyuan City.
What the monks said about fasting means that they no longer need to eat earthly food contaminated with fireworks. They only need to absorb the spiritual energy between heaven and earth to maintain life. It does not mean that they can't eat.
On the contrary, heavenly materials and earthly treasures rich in pure spiritual energy are more attractive to them, but who will make delicious dishes from spiritual materials?
Most monks would not spend energy on such meaningless things. They might as well just eat it alive or use it to make elixirs.
However, Xuanji Pavilion will meet!
They hire monks with excellent skills to prepare such spiritual dishes for other monks to eat. In some places, the chefs are even advanced monks with advanced cultivation.
The income from Guangling Yao accounts for 10% of the total income of Xuanji Pavilion every year, which shows its high profits. Xuanji Pavilion's move can be said to be a precedent in the world of cultivation.
It's just that the monks knew how to eat when they were still mortals, but as they practice longer, they become less and less able to eat, which is really sobering.
No, before it was time for lunch, even Yao Mengxun, who had always been cautious, proposed to Lei Jiang the idea of having lunch. This shows that the name of Geyu is resounding throughout Kyushu.
Of course Lei Jiang would not refuse. Normally, he was not afraid that his young lady would ask for too much, but that she would not ask for anything. So he immediately took the two of them downstairs with a smile and found a square table near the balcony to sit down. Great to enjoy the city scenery.
Fortunately, they arrived early. After a while, the famous Xuanji Pavilion was already overcrowded.
The waiter in the pavilion was so busy that he almost had no time to take care of them. To be precise, he couldn't take care of any table. Because the business was so good, he only served Qingyun and the others a pot of tea and a recipe made from a jade slip, and he was in a hurry. hurried to the next table.
Although Qingyun is literate, his knowledge and knowledge are far inferior to those of Lei Jiang and Yao Mengxun. He has never heard of the names of the dishes on the menu, so naturally the two of them have the final say.
After ordering, Lei Jiang told them some anecdotes about Xuanji Pavilion before the food was served.
It turns out that, to be precise, the place where they are now cannot be called Xuanji Pavilion, because the real Xuanji Pavilion is composed of three parts, divided into Xuanzang, Confidential, and Geyu.
Xuanzang is roughly in charge of the production and sale of Xuanji Pavilion's treasures and elixirs, while Miyuan is in charge of the sale of various secret information in Kyushu, as well as various overt and covert bounty tasks.
Geyu is where they are now, responsible for operating Xuanji Pavilion's catering and accommodation business for the monks. At the same time, some other scattered income of Xuanji Pavilion is also managed by Geyu.
It is said that as long as you have enough spirit stones, it is not impossible that you can even buy psychic treasures in Xuanji Pavilion, or you can find out anything you want to know about the good and the devil in Kyushu.
What’s more interesting is that although in the eyes of ordinary people, Geyu should be the weakest department among the three departments. After all, investment and return must be directly proportional to achieve long-term development. How much money can catering and accommodation make for the sect?
However, what is unexpected is that the scale of Geyu is not smaller than any of the three parts, and is even vaguely the largest!
Because Xuanji Pavilion claims to the outside world that as long as you cause trouble in a restaurant or inn controlled by the pavilion, no matter who you are, you will be punished no matter how far away you are!
Because of this, as long as you can afford the spirit stone, you are absolutely safe in the pavilion!
Although this is just a rumor, even monks who have returned to the spiritual realm may not be able to stay in the top-level guest rooms in the pavilion for a long time. However, later on, the pavilion did develop a business like bodyguards or escorts, and it has been since the establishment of the Xuanji Pavilion. , and there has been no news of anyone daring to cause trouble and kill people there.
Of course, it's also possible that the news doesn't get out at all.
After looking around for a while, Lei Jiang said to Qingyun and Yao Mengxun seriously:
"If you walk around the world in the future, you must be careful when you meet people from Xuanji Pavilion. Uncle Lei, I have never been afraid of anyone, but Xuanji Pavilion can sprout branches like bamboo shoots all over the land of Kyushu in such a short period of time, and Both good and evil don't care about it, so there must be some unknown secret behind it."
The two of them nodded after hearing this, and then Qingyun took the opportunity to mention something about Yi Qing:
"Uncle Lei, didn't you say you would tell us the story of Senior Yi Qing during lunch?"
Hearing this, Yao Mengxun, who was wearing a veil, also turned his head slightly to ask questions, while Lei Jiang glanced at Qingyun, and after telling him to keep quiet, he lowered his voice and told the two of them about the past.
