Sanjie Mountain, a majestic mountain range winding for thousands of miles, looks like a giant dragon sleeping soundly.
Looking down, white clouds filled the air, and a small town quietly dotted the mountains and rivers.
It was noon, and the smoke was curling up.
The crowing of chickens and the barking of dogs in the town, accompanied by the tempting aroma of food, spread far and wide.
Above the clouds, Changqing spread out the map, compared the veins rich in black iron, and looked at the small town.
"This must be Gejiazhuang, right?"
Changqing put away the map and wanted to pick the simplest task and complete it first, but unexpectedly, after searching several towns, he still couldn't find Gejiazhuang.
"There are no monsters around here?" Di Yun turned into a tattoo and wrapped it around Chang Qing's body. At Chang Qing's neck, Di Yun glanced left and right, "There are monsters near Gejiazhuang. Could they have been killed?" Already?"
"The mission hasn't been cancelled, so the monster should still be alive."
Changqing dodged and landed on the ground, looking around. He saw the people in the town, their faces full of happiness and peace as they were busy.
Changqing looked at the stone tablet at the entrance of the town. The three words "Gejiazhuang" proved that Changqing had finally found the right one.
As soon as we entered the town, there was an inn with the word "Caiyun" on the sign, splashed with various colors.
"This guest officer? You are also here to carry out a Qashiaoke mission, right?"
A girl came out with a smile.
"Yes." Changqing nodded and looked at the street again.
"My name is Ge Yao, and I am the manager of Caiyun Inn!" The girl invited enthusiastically: "If you are not in a hurry, why don't you go into the store and get a tip?"
"Okay." Changqing nodded again.
There were very few guests in the inn. There were only five tables in the lobby, but there were only two people sitting at one table. They seemed to be monks with good family backgrounds, and they did not wear Qiaoyoke tokens.
The brocade clothes are all white gowns. The men are handsome and the women are beautiful.
Beside the two of them, each had a pure white fairy sword with the aura of a spiritual treasure.
As Chang Qing walked into the lobby and sat down at the table closest to the door, the two monks also glanced at Chang Qing and talked among themselves.
"Brother, why are we wasting time here? It's more important to chase the night scorpions." Chu Ying was a little unhappy, looking at the food on the table, it didn't taste good at all.
This is an ordinary town, originally a village. There are mostly mortals here, but there are only a few who have cultivation skills. Even the few monks entered the mountains to mine black black iron ore for the Zhou family.
Chu Jiankuang whispered: "The Night Demon is going to be hunted down, but there is a monster near Gejiazhuang Town. If you don't know, that's all. Now that you know, you have to deal with the monster first. Once the monster enters In Gejiazhuang, everyone here may not survive!"
Chu Ying said angrily: "How does it look like there is a monster here? Look at the people here, they are not panicked at all."
Looking at Ge Yao who was recommending signature dishes to Chang Qing, Chu Ying said directly: "In my opinion, the mission issued by Xiaoyao Inn is Caiyun Inn's way of attracting business!"
"Sister, don't be rude!" Chu Jiankuang nodded apologetically to Ge Yao.
Ge Yao quickly said it was okay and continued to recommend Changqing.
He just looked slightly flustered, and kept glancing toward the kitchen from the corner of his eyes.
"Okay, that's it." Changqing waved his hand, picked up the teapot on the table, and poured himself a cup.
After a brief taste, I put down the teacup.
Changqing folded his hands on the table and lazily looked at the people on the street.
After a while, eight dishes and two soups were served on the table.
"Haha, you cooks are pretty efficient. Are these the leftovers?" Chang Qing suddenly laughed.
"The guests were joking, they are all fried and stewed right away." Ge Yao looked a little embarrassed, "Actually, the ingredients have been prepared in advance."
As soon as she finished speaking, Chu Ying threw her chopsticks. Just when she was about to get angry, Chu Jiankuang held her hand down.
"Shopkeeper, pay the bill." Chu Jiankuang took out a few spiritual stones.
"Hello, you have consumed a hundred spirit stones in total for this meal." Ge Yao said immediately.
"What? A hundred spirit stones? How dare you, a small shop in a mortal village, accept a hundred spirit stones?" Chu Ying was even more angry.
"It is indeed not an ordinary ingredient, it is worth it." Chu Jiankuang was also a little embarrassed, and took out a hundred spirit stones and piled them on the table.
Pulling her sister and leaving, Chu Ying turned back three times every step.
If her brother hadn't stopped her, she would have destroyed this shabby shop!
Ge Yao put away the spirit stone and smiled at Changqing, "You can call me if you have any orders."
Changqing took a few bites of the food and praised: "The cooking skills are good."
After a pause, Changqing asked casually: "Your cook's name is Caiyun, right?"
"The guest guessed it right!" Ge Yao said with a smile: "Otherwise, I wouldn't have dared to charge like this."
Changqing shook his head and said, "These meals are indeed worth the price."
"Oh? Can the guests see anything?" Ge Yao asked curiously.
Chang Qing picked up a piece of green cabbage, "Nine-marked Pothos, a heaven-level elixir, is bitter in taste, strong in nature, and cannot be eaten. It is often used to refine Explosive Qi Pills. Even the refined Explosive Qi Pills are very unpalatable." .”
Ge Yao's expression became a little unnatural, and there was a hint of panic on her youthful and beautiful face.
"Don't be nervous." Chang Qing said: "On the way here, I just happened to pass by a town where a large area of elixirs was grown, including the nine-striped pothos. I ate both raw and cooked ones and almost laughed. The last front tooth of an old man."
Ge Yao patted her chest, and as soon as she felt relieved, she suddenly trembled.
She looked at Changqing with some horror and backed away.
At this moment, a young girl walked out of the kitchen. She was dressed in colorful clothes and her face looked like she was only 24 years old. She stood in front of Ge Yao and looked at Chang Qing warily.
"What's wrong? Is something wrong?" Changqing asked.
"Xiaozhou Town is eight hundred and seventy miles away from this." Caiyun stared at Changqing, "And these nine-striped green radish is newly picked."
"Oh, the old man did say that the nine-striped pothos is only grown there, but there are not so many restrictions on the type of elixir." Changqing continued to eat.
"I have broken off the nine bitter tendons of the nine-grained pothos and cooked it to taste like this, but you can still taste it as a nine-grained pothos. Those who can do this will naturally discover that I am Cooked with demonic power.”
"Yes." Chang Qing nodded, "How can I say this dish is worth it? The monsters in the sky and the underworld cook it themselves? There are also all kinds of elixirs. Just running an errand to pick the vegetables is not enough. Even a stone can’t explain it.”
Changqing picked up a few green vegetables and took a big bite with the rice, chewing with her lips pursed, her cheeks bulging.
"The monster threat mission was indeed issued by me." Caiyun said with a stiff face and gritted his teeth.
Behind Ge Yao, his palms were already covered in sweat.
The hotel lobby is quiet.
Changqing continued to chew without making any sound, and kept staring at Caiyun.
The atmosphere became increasingly silent and tense.
Only Ge Yao, who was at the first level of the Golden Body Realm, felt that it was starting to become difficult to breathe.
Even Caiyun, who was in the first level of Kongming Realm, felt tense all over at this time.
Finally, accompanied by a faint sound of swallowing, Chang Qing finally spoke: "It doesn't matter."
"..."
