Chapter 200: The Lu Family's Invitation (Second Update)
Speaking unintentionally, the listener is intentional.
Lu Daying originally felt that Ye Fan was a little interesting to Zhao Jing, even if he was not interesting, he at least looked at her differently, otherwise why would he help her before? Now hearing Ye Fan's words, Lu Daying was even more sure of his guess, and secretly made up his mind in his heart, he must make friends with Zhao Jing.
Of course, this is just Lu Daying's wishful thinking, Ye Fan didn't have any idea about Zhao Jing at all, he just felt that this girl was kind-hearted, so he couldn't help but nag a few words.
The dinner was very grand, a sheep was eaten, roasted, boiled, stewed, fried, shabu-shabu, Ye Fan also opened his eyes, worthy of being a shepherd nation, that is, he would eat.
During the banquet, Lu Haidiao frequently toasted Ye Fan, but because Ye Fan was going to retreat tonight, he only replaced the wine with tea.
After he was full of wine and food, it was already nine o'clock, and Ye Fan got up and prepared to go back to the small courtyard next door.
"Mr. Ye, are you satisfied with today's dinner?" Lu Haidiao greeted.
"Yes, this is probably the most authentic whole sheep feast I've ever had. Ye Fan said.
"If Mr. Ye likes it, we will prepare it tomorrow, but today because of the rush of time, there are several other ways to eat that I haven't had time to prepare. Lu Haidiao said.
"That's not necessary, after I go back today, I'm going to go into retreat until the Jade Spring Festival. Ye Fan said.
"In this case, then wait until Mr. Ye's retreat is over before preparing. Lu Haidiao said, and then said: "Mr. Ye, I have a reluctant request below, I don't know if I should talk about it?"
"You say. Ye Fan said.
"Mr. Ye, that's right, in a few days it will be the Yuquan Festival. In the past, it was our three major families who each sent people to compete to evaluate the ownership of Yuquan this year by winning or losing. However, over the years, the Yuquan Festival has attracted a lot of other foreign warriors, and this year it is even more semi-open, and the Yang family has invited a master from the south, and I am not his opponent, so I would like to ask Mr. Ye to represent our Lu family. Lu Haidiao said.
"Can it still be like this?" Ye Fan was slightly surprised.
"This is also a way to no way, the effect of Yuquan is very obvious, and it is also very beneficial to the cultivation of martial artists, and the reputation is getting louder and louder, and there are already many martial artists eyeing Yuquan. Our Yuquan town has an excellent geographical location and occupies Yuquan. However, with our strength, we can't hold Yuquan at all, and there have been several conflicts before, and many people have died in the town. Later, in order to reduce such casualties, foreign warriors could only be brought in. Lu Haidiao said.
Then he continued: "After several years of exploration, an unwritten rule has basically been formed, the competition of the Yuquan Festival is still dominated by the three major families of our Yuquan Town, and foreign warriors can choose a family to join at will, and then they can get some Yuquan water, as well as the corresponding benefits. ”
Hearing this, Ye Fan suddenly realized that the core of the Yuquan Festival was to determine the ownership of Yuquan in the next year.
I heard Ye Fan ask curiously: "Master Diao, what will happen if your Lu family obtains the ownership of the next year?"
"Yuquan is a gold mine, except for some dividends for everyone every year, all the other income belongs to the family that owned the ownership of Yuquan back then. Lu Haidiao replied.
"Oh. Ye Fan suddenly realized that he was fighting to the end for money.
"Mr. Ye, if you are willing to fight on behalf of our Lu family, we are willing to share half of the profits to you. Lu Haidiao said.
Ye Fan shook his head and said, "I'm not interested in money, but I can fight on behalf of your Lu family, but there are other conditions." ”
"Mr. Ye, you said. Lu Haidiao said.
"I want a lot of jade spring water. Ye Fan said.
"There is no problem with this at all, Yuquan gushes millions of tons of fresh spring water every day, and Mr. Ye can use it. Lu Haidiao promised.
"Good. Ye Fan responded.
Later, Ye Fan went back to the small courtyard next door to prepare for retreat.
The aura continued to evaporate from the reservoir, and Ye Fan had no distractions and absorbed it to his heart's content.
As soon as these spiritual qi entered Ye Fan's body, they were quickly refined into true yuan, and with the addition of these true yuan, the true yuan in Ye Fan's body grew rapidly.
The days when you can't pretend to be forced always pass faster than usual, like a white horse passing by, and in the blink of an eye, three days have passed.
On the fourth day, the Yuquan Festival officially kicked off.
Ye Fan woke up from the retreat, and after a short retreat, Zhenyuan made a very obvious progress.
According to Ye Fan's estimates, in this retreat, it will take a maximum of two months to break through the second level of qi training, and it may not even take two months.
"Hoo ......"
Ye Fan let out a long breath of turbidity and prepared to go out to participate in the Yuquan Festival.
Looking at the aura that was constantly evaporating outward, Ye Fan suddenly had an idea in his heart, "It would be nice if I could collect these spiritual qi, so that even if I leave Yuquan Town, I can have spiritual energy cultivation." ”
"It's just how to collect these auras?" Ye Fan said to himself.
However, there is no good way to do it for a while.
"Forget it, let's go to the Jade Spring Festival first, and wait until we find out about Old Man Shen's situation, and then it's not too late to think about collecting aura. Ye Fan muttered to himself.
Then, Ye Fan sorted out the clothes on his body and walked outside.
Pushing open the door, I saw Lu Daying sitting on the steps in front of the door, as if he had been waiting here for a long time.
When Lu Daying heard the sound of the door opening, he couldn't help but get up, "Mr. Ye, is your retreat over?"
"Well, it's just over, why are you here?" Ye Fanhu asked.
"Mr. Ye, today is the Yuquan Festival, and my uncle specially asked me to invite you. Lu Daying replied.
"The Yuquan Festival has begun?" Ye Fan asked.
"It's the opening ceremony now, and it's the beginning until the afternoon. Lu Daying replied.
"Okay, let's go check it out. Ye Fan said, "By the way, those martial artists of the Shen family have arrived?"
"There were a few, but they were all insignificant, marginal characters. However, I heard my uncle say that there is going to be a grandmaster-level master tonight, and he can introduce Mr. Ye at that time. Lu Daying said.
"That's good. Ye Fan nodded, what he was most concerned about was the martial artists on the Shen family's side.
On the streets, the streets are lit up with lights, firecrackers are firecracked, and celebratory tunes are played on the town's loudspeakers, as if welcoming the Chinese New Year.
For the people of Yuquan Town, isn't that the case?
Because today, in addition to competing for the ownership of Yuquan for the next year, it is also necessary to distribute dividends to the Yuquan income of the previous year, so it is difficult for everyone to be unhappy!
Under the leadership of Lu Daying, Ye Fan came to the center of the town, Yuquan Square.
There was a lion dance on the stage, and the townspeople gathered in a large circle.
The three major families sat in the closest place to the stands, each with twenty chairs, and the head of the family sat in the middle, next to the famous warriors of the northern country.
The chair next to Lu Haidiao was specially reserved for Ye Fan, and when he saw Ye Fan coming, he hurriedly invited: "Mr. Ye, please take a seat." ”
