After a long time, the next five Dao discussions were extremely dull. The strength of the casual cultivators was uneven, and Xiao Chen never encountered a strong enemy again.
When Xiaochen pointed his sword at Shangguanxing's throat, the fight had already come to an end.
"I admit defeat!" Shangguanxing had no choice but to say helplessly when he saw this. Although he had expected this before taking the stage, he was still lucky.
As for the process, he was naturally suppressed by Xiao Chen's swordsmanship throughout the whole process, and he lost the last move without even using it.
Xiaochen nodded and walked to the stands. After winning this battle, he had won 25 consecutive games. He was feeling a little tired after repeated battles. It was time to go back to the inn and take a good rest.
"Let's go back to the inn." Xiaochen said to Ling'er.
Ling'er followed Xiaochen, frowned and hesitated for a moment before asking, "Master, what is the reason?"
"There's no reason, you're thinking too much." Xiaochen replied casually, with an indifferent tone that made her very angry.
Zhang Baili put away his more than 10,000 low-grade spiritual stones. After seeing Xiaochen leaving, he paused and chose to leave without betting any more. He had already earned enough spiritual stones during this trip. .
"It's a pity. If Xiao Chen continues to compete, I can earn more..." Zhang Baili lowered his thoughts and glanced around. He had just won a streak, and many people should have noticed him.
Thinking of this, Zhang Baili turned to the boy at Wujie Pavilion and said, "Keep an eye on Xiaochen for me. If he comes back to participate in the competition again, send someone to inform me that I live in Room 687 of Lingnan Garden."
The boy took the five low-grade spiritual stones handed over by Zhang Baili and immediately nodded in agreement.
Looking back, the boy walked into the darkroom and said, "That person named Zhang Baili... is probably going to run away."
The person in the room opened his eyes and said, "Well..."
The boy looked at the long knife with a cold light on his waist, lowered his eyes in fear, nodded in agreement, and slowly backed away.
"The spiritual stones in the Wujie Pavilion are not that easy to get..."
After Zhang Baili left the Wujie Pavilion, he quickly entered the Hongchen Pavilion next door and walked in surrounded by a group of brothel women.
After a while, Zhang Baili, whose appearance changed drastically after his disguise, slowly walked out, smelling of rouge and wine. Zhang Baili knew that the spiritual stone in his hand was enough to arouse the covetousness of others, so he wanted to escape and avoid the limelight.
Zhang Baili looked at the gate of Unbounded City in front of him, looked behind him again, and breathed a sigh of relief after finding nothing unusual, and left among the crowd.
"These spiritual stones should be enough for me to be rich for the rest of my life. Wouldn't it be wonderful to leave Wujie City and go to the 32 areas of the Righteous Path to become a rich man!" Zhang Baili thought this way. His words with the servant in Wujie Pavilion were just a delaying tactic. Forget it, tell others that you will come again.
In fact, people who hang out in such places have already heard various rumors and know when to stop.
"With more than 10,000 spirit stones, it shouldn't be possible..." After Zhang Baili left the city, he walked quickly, still a little uneasy.
In the woods, there was a flash of cold light, and a huge human head rose into the sky. After the murder, the body was smeared with bone-etching water, and the corpse was destroyed in an instant.
"I saw that many people had kidnapped the young master, and they all made a lot of spiritual stones!" Ling'er mentioned this matter intentionally or unintentionally as she walked on the road.
Xiaochen didn't respond. He looked at the wonton noodle shop on the street and turned around and asked, "I'm going to have a bowl of wontons. Do you want it?"
After hearing this, Ling'er looked at the small canvas shop. There were only two middle-aged people in the shop busy wrapping wontons. There were no customers on the wooden table at the door. Obviously, their business was not doing well at the moment. .
However, Ling'er still responded: "Okay, I want a bowl too."
"Sir, this is Yanguo Sichuan wonton. It tastes better with spicy sauce!" When the middle-aged man saw someone sitting down, he immediately came forward and said enthusiastically.
Xiaochen nodded and said, "Then let's have two bowls of wontons with spicy food."
"Okay! Juan, two bowls of wontons!" Lao Chen shouted happily after hearing this, and the chef of the wonton noodle shop also heard a response at this time.
Boil water in a pot, add wontons after boiling, wait until the wontons float and reveal the pink meat filling inside, then they are cooked.
Ling'er looked at the middle-aged couple busy in the kitchen with curiosity. The wontons were hand-wrapped, but these are mortal things. She couldn't help but ask: "Master, are these wontons delicious?"
"It's delicious." Xiaochen said.
"How delicious is it?"
"You'll know after you've eaten it yourself." He couldn't describe it, so he had to say this.
Ling'er looked at Xiaochen in confusion, and then didn't say anything else. The novel gadgets in the neighborhood quickly attracted her attention.
After a while, Lao Chen picked up the colander, scooped up the wontons, put them in a bowl, sprinkled a spoonful of chopped green onion, and covered it with a spoonful of spicy oil. A bowl of spicy wontons with full color, fragrance and flavor was brought to the wooden table. .
"Okay, sir! Here comes the spicy wontons!!!" Lao Chen grinned, holding two bowls of wontons and placing them on the table.
Looking at the red wontons wrapped in red spicy oil, Xiaochen picked them up and took a bite. Compared to the wontons in Huize City, the wontons here are more violent, with the fiery spicy pepper and the tender meat blooming in it. In the mouth, it has a unique flavor.
The chopped green onion is also just right, giving it a nice flavor.
"It's so spicy!!!" Ling'er took a bite, said loudly, and quickly drank water.
Xiaochen ate one bite after another. There were not many wontons, just 11. He had all eaten them in a short while.
Ling'er finished the last wonton and commented: "It tastes really good, but it's just too spicy. I should have known better that I wouldn't have added spicy food."
Lao Chen smiled and said, "Hey, girl, these wontons only taste better if you add Sichuan spicy pepper!"
"Really?" Ling'er asked doubtfully. It was indeed too spicy for her, and her mouth felt numb and painful after one bite.
After Xiaochen put down a broken piece of silver, he took Ling'er and left. The boss looked at the broken piece of silver on the table and was about to give change, but found that the two people in front of him had already gone away, and he couldn't help but be stunned.
"Juan! Today the immortal came to eat our wontons and gave us a piece of broken silver!"
"I said, old man, are you stupid? Isn't this a common thing?"
"Yes...also...it's just Juan! The two people seem to be a little different today..."
"What's the difference? Aren't the immortals and we both have two eyes and one mouth?"
"That's true, but immortals live a long time..."
Ling'er followed Xiaochen and seemed to be in a much better mood after eating the wontons. She asked, "Master, where should we go next?"
"Go back to Sandao Inn. If you feel too bored, just go out for a walk. But if you cause trouble, don't look for me." Xiaochen said.
"..."
"Forget it." Ling'er shrank her neck and followed with a tighter pace.
After entering the Sandao Inn, Dong Minglou still stood at the counter at the entrance with an abacus in his hand. He glanced at the two of them but did not respond.
Xiaochen paid attention for a moment, then turned his gaze back and walked up the wooden stairs.
The Sandao Inn is still a little deserted, there are no people in the entire lobby, and the stage is empty, unlike other inns where storytellers have already begun to tell stories.
There was only one table of people drinking and chatting in the huge lobby. When they saw Xiao Chen and the others going upstairs, they continued the conversation.
"Boss, are you really sure this time?" The cripple asked in a low voice after taking a sip of wine. His eyes looked left and right from time to time, and the questions he asked seemed to mean something.
Ma Liangyan, who was sitting in the first place, weighed the wine bowl in his hand, pondered for a moment and said, "I don't have time to wait for the next time. Let's find more... brothers and do it together."
"That's true. If you follow Brother Ma, you will have to settle accounts with that company sooner or later. If they hadn't disrupted the situation, we would have succeeded last time." The horse-faced man curled his lips and said.
"Ah Xiu, be silent! Let's take a look around and bring in more people." Ma Liangyan said very carefully.
"Brother Ma, don't panic. This is my father's restaurant. It's very safe..." Xiugao said casually.
"If I had obtained such a treasure last time, even if I had approached the Thousand Spirits Chamber of Commerce, the spiritual stones I would have been given would have been enough for me to practice to the golden elixir stage." Thinking of this, Ma Liangyan's expression became much more ferocious. They disturbed the situation, and several of them had long since seized the treasure and fled far away.
Xiao Chen glanced at a few people at the stairs and said to himself: "They are indeed in this inn. These people, led by Ma Yanliang, laid an ambush where the sword embryo came from..."
"The vision caused by the birth of the sword embryo spirit treasure in the previous life attracted hundreds of talented people to fight for it, triggering a melee. A few of them came out to seize the treasure at the last moment. I used up the three natal sword energy given by Qingran before I could escape. "Xiao Chen's eyes trembled when he thought of this person. This grudge must be settled properly.
"Humph... It's time to have fun with them. Remember that Ma Liangyan has a secret passage in his hand. It's much faster than me walking slowly to the source of the sword embryo."
"They should be taking the initiative to recruit people into the gang now..." Xiaochen thought and quickly composed his thoughts.
After entering the room, Ling'er took out the tea cup and started making tea on her own initiative.
"Here you go, this cup is free!" Ling'er said.
Xiaochen took the tea cup, and the taste was still the same. The fragrance of tea made people feel a lot more energetic.
Ling'er looked at Xiaochen who was meditating after drinking tea, and also made herself a cup. After drinking the beauty tea, she covered herself with a quilt and planned to have a good sleep.
After a while she couldn't sleep...
Lifting the quilt, she took a careful look at Xiaochen and thought: "Although this stone has a cold personality, he has a really good skin. No wonder the woman holding the piano on the ring is so fond of him. The two of them fell in love with each other for a while. Afterwards, the woman was so fascinated that she voluntarily admitted defeat."
She didn't know what happened on the Taoist forum at that time, and the woman had no reason to admit defeat, so Ling'er thought she was in a trance.
"Zhen Zhenzhen... But she doesn't know the true identity of this stone..."
"However, it seems like it's nice to be by his side..."
"No...no, Ling'er, what are you thinking about? How could you be bribed by a bowl of wontons...Freedom is more important." Ling'er struggled for a while, covered her face with the quilt, and muttered in a low voice.
A few hours later, Xiaochen opened his eyes, and his cultivation level had improved even more. His soul was still on alert when he was just practicing, so he naturally noticed Ling'er secretly looking at him several times.
"That girl, is there something wrong?" Xiaochen stood up and glanced at Ling'er who was sleeping. He saw that she seemed to be dreaming about something, and she muttered something...
Listening carefully, it sounds like...
"Mother...don't sell Ling'er..."
"Ling'er is very well-behaved and can do anything..."
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu.
The muttering ended here. Looking at Ling'er's eyes that suddenly opened, Xiaochen felt a little embarrassed standing in front of the bed. He immediately turned around and opened the window to look at the scenery outside.
"Well, the willows outside are also lush and lush at this time." Xiaochen said softly.
A clumsy red herring...
Ling'er buried half of her face in the quilt and looked at Xiaochen suspiciously with her big eyes. She had just woken up from a nightmare and was startled when she saw Xiaochen standing in front of the bed.
"Why is that stone suddenly standing in front of my bed? Could it be that he saw this girl as beautiful as a flower and became malicious..."
Ling'er struggled for a moment, and suddenly realized that she seemed unable to resist. She was startled and thought: "Then should I agree, or should I just act half-heartedly..."
"So troubled..."
At this time, she seemed to have thought of something: "No, he didn't respond to my temptation before... He likes... it can't be... a sleeping... unconscious woman..."
Xiao Chen didn't know what happened in just a short moment. When he saw her waking up, he said: "Get up when you wake up and continue to the Unbounded Pavilion."
"After 50 consecutive victories this time, I got the Haiyuan Order."
"Okay." Ling'er still got up with some reluctance. Although her thoughts were confused, her little hands didn't stop, and the quilt was quickly folded neatly.
