If there is a book, it is long, and if there is no book, it is short.

After the first two days of competition, each of the participants in the second round has already played twenty-one games.

The difference between the strength and weakness of the young masters participating in the competition is gradually becoming clear.

The progress of the game on the cloud platform is further accelerated.

This time, Qiao Shuye, who was not in charge of the competition, had some crooked ideas, purely because in the ring, the number of people who chose to surrender began to become more and more.

Some people say that it is because they recognize the gap between themselves and the strongest group, and it is better to admit defeat neatly than to bring shame on themselves when they come to power.

There are also those who feel that those young geniuses have lost their arrogance after seeing so many peers who are stronger than themselves.

"In fact, the reason why most people choose to surrender is simply to preserve their strength in order to achieve a better ranking. Ji Shi said.

"That's right," Chen Qingyao said: "There is that blue point of light to ensure the safety of our lives, as long as the people present are not stupid, who is not willing to go up and fight with those masters who are better than themselves, failure will fail, the experience and understanding gained from the fight is something that countless people can't ask for, and the effect of sitting meditation or cultivating alone is much faster than sitting and meditating or cultivating alone." It's just that if there is a major loss in the battle, if you can't recover for a while, you will lose the victory, which is what many people who are pursuing promotion or want to get a better ranking do not want to see. ”

In the next two days, Jiang Ning was relatively leisurely.

In addition to the fixed swordsmanship homework every day, it is to accompany Hongshuang and Chu Chengcheng to watch the game, spend a lot of money to buy spiritual wine and food in the Bazhen Pavilion to satisfy the appetite, and live a happy life.

The spirit wine and Yuanshi in the Eight Treasures Pavilion are not only delicious, but also the ingredients are not ordinary, the spiritual energy content is rich, and it can also help the diners' own cultivation to a certain extent, although the price is a little expensive, it is still overcrowded every day.

In the cultivation world, especially in this section below the realm of earth weapons, the status of the spirit kitchen is even higher than those alchemists.

There are two reasons for this.

First, most of the pills are tasteless, that is, they taste better, at most they are the kind of dry mouth that mortals eat jelly beans, and as for those that taste bad, eating them in their mouths will even make those who take pills doubt their lives.

And the yuan food is different, even if it is the lowest yuan food, it will definitely not be sloppy in satisfying people's appetites, after all, the spirit kitchen is still a cook in the final analysis, and the cook cooks, and there are strict standards for color, flavor and temperature.

Second, as the saying goes, medicine is three parts poison, and while the pill helps the monk to practice, there will also be some trace amounts of erysipelas in the body of the cultivator, and the erysipelas in a pill are only a star and a half, which is not to be feared, but if the pill is eaten too much, the erysipelas will continue to gather in the body, and it will turn into an obstacle that affects the later development of the cultivator. Although those alchemists have a respected status and the price of the pill is also high, for those young masters who are talented and ambitious, no one will be willing to swallow the pill until it is absolutely necessary, or until it is finally confirmed that they cannot go further on their own. Comparatively speaking, pills are more popular among cultivators who have mediocre talents and can take one step at a time on the path of cultivation.

Although the Yuan Food cooked by the Spirit Kitchen after special processing is not as immediate as the elixir in terms of effectiveness, it is better in terms of warmth and longevity, and has a long-lasting afterlife, and there is no side effect at all.

The reason why the Spirit Kitchen is only more popular below the Earth Artifact Realm is that it is not to say that high-grade Yuan Food is inferior to high-grade elixirs.

And just because the development history of the pill can be traced back to ancient times and even the ancient times, and the yuan food was gradually entered into people's field of vision in the Middle Ages, the development time is too short, there is no complete system, and the time of the cooks is either spent on cooking or pondering how to cook, and the level of cultivation is mostly not as good as that of alchemists, which leads to the fact that there are very few spirit chefs who can make high-level yuan food, and naturally there is no way to compare with alchemists.

Since the battle with Nangong Jing, the opponent on the No. 2 Yuntai will automatically admit defeat as long as he is lined up, so that Jiang Ning has no fight at all during this time, in fact, not only him, but even the Nangong Jing who was defeated under her own hand, after she was injured and easily won another victory, it was also a helpless scene of admitting defeat at the beginning of the opponent one after another. And in one group, Xu Yuanshuo, the finishing monk and the monk Shi in the fifth and thirteenth groups, Hu Yanfeng in the ninth group, Li Fuyao in the eleventh group, and eight or nine masters he didn't know before also encountered such a situation.

Su Que has never come to Jiang Ning since he came here to show his face once after he was injured in Nangong Jing, but Jiang Ning ran to Lanquemen once, but he didn't see her people, obviously she really didn't live with the people from Lanquemen, Nangong Jing was also not there, obviously these two people were hidden by Dongfang Key, of course Jiang Ning would not be narcissistic and thought that this matter also had something to do with him, he guessed that Dongfang Key probably wanted to sharpen his guns in battle, and wanted to take advantage of his free time to teach these two people a few more hands.

There were only three dishes on the table.

Mille-feuille tofu flowers, pine eggs, steamed grouper with pickled cabbage.

Three plates, one for each person in front of three people.

The mille-feuille tofu flower was ordered by Jiang Ning, and there was a misty light in his eyes, falling on a five-inch square piece of tofu in front of him, Jiang Ning picked up the chopsticks and exclaimed: "It's really a thousand layers, one layer is not much, one layer is not many!"

Hongshuang looked at the three black crystal-like pine flowers on his plate, wiped his saliva, and complained: "It's so stingy, one person has one dish, how can you be full?"

"Stingy, you actually say that this Sword Immortal is stingy?" Jiang Ning said aggrievedly: "200,000 yuan liquid," Jiang Ning pointed to the dishes of the three people on the table, and said angrily: "These three dishes alone have already cost me 200,000 yuan liquid, think about it yourself, how many plates of Songhua eggs have you eaten in the past few days?"

Hongshuang stuck out her tongue, she would ask for a plate of Songhua eggs every time in the past four days, three times a day, that is to say, not counting the plate on the table, up to now, she has eaten twelve Songhua eggs, converted into yuan liquid, about seven or eight hundred thousand.

With so much Yuan liquid, change to a small sect where the Yuan Dan Xingji master is the master, but she will have to eat less than half of the food money for these four days.

"But people just can't get enough to eat!" Hongshuang drooped with a pretty face and looked at Jiang Ning aggrievedly.

Knowing that this product was being loaded, Jiang Ning was still a little soft-hearted, waved his hand, and said angrily: "Come on, don't pretend, you go and tell that guy what you want to eat." ”

Hongshuang grinned, ran away happily, and when he came back, there were three more Songhua eggs on the table.

"Delicious Songhua eggs, one for each of the three of us!" Hong's hands waved, and he was arrogant.

Jiang Ning was a little helpless, so he took a piece of tofu flower and sent it to his mouth, and while tasting this rare delicacy, he said vaguely: "There are so many dishes in this Bazhen Pavilion, can't you change something else to eat?"

Hongshuang only smiled and pulled the pine flower eggs on the plate, and his eyes were bent into crescent moons, where he could take care of talking.

Chu Tingcheng explained with a smile: "In addition to Lao Bai's pears, Xiaoshuang's favorite food is this purple lark's egg." ”

"Why?" Jiang Ning said.

It is well known that foxes love meat and bird eggs, but it is a little strange that they prefer to eat the eggs of these three-grade demon beasts, purple larks.

After all, when Jiang Ning met Hongshuang, she was just a third-grade demon beast that had completed her transformation ahead of schedule, Yuan Dan couldn't control the sky before, and the flying demon beast like the purple lark, in the same level, this little second tail doesn't seem to be able to be provoked, right?

When you are in the void, stealing someone's purple lark's egg, won't you be pecked to death by others?

Of course, Chu Tingcheng understood what Jiang Ning was thinking, because she herself had similar doubts, and immediately smiled: "Listening to her, it seems that she ate it when she was very young, and at that time, she was about, as if she hadn't met Lao Bai yet." ”

"Oh, is that so?" Jiang Ning glanced at Hongshuang, and the girl nodded a little confusedly while gobbling up without an image.

When the demon beast was born, in addition to breast milk, the liquid egg liquid similar to this kind was indeed a good substitute, and the eggs of the third-level demon beast purple lark were fed to the little fox, which showed that Hongshuang's parents were at least the demon cultivators of the Yuandan realm more than a hundred years ago.

And since Hongshuang can remember the taste of this purple lark egg, it is absolutely impossible to feed it with purple lark egg liquid once or twice, which means that at that time more than a hundred years ago, for a long time, Hongshuang's mother did not choose to breastfeed, but always used purple lark eggs as a substitute.

The purple lark clan is not rare, but if purple lark eggs are used for meals for a long time, even the demon clan cultivators of the Yuan Dan Realm or even the Star Pole Realm may not be able to do it. Because it means constantly moving from one place to another to find the purple lark during the spawning period.

Without the ability to move a little, it is absolutely impossible to do it.

And if you want to perform a small shift, you need at least the cultivation of the Law Realm.

That means that Hongshuang's father or mother had at least the level of a demon king more than a hundred years ago.

The dignified demon king, who has no breast milk, has to use the purple lark's egg instead, which means that Hongshuang's mother was either seriously injured at that time, or simply died, and her father had no choice but to use the purple lark's egg liquid to replace the breast milk.

After the Yuan Shen is generated, thoughts often start to run at a high speed unconsciously, Jiang Ning shook his head, cleared his thoughts, and did not let himself think further.

Sometimes, unknowing or even resentment can be considered a kind of happiness.

Jiang Ning supported his chin with his elbow, crossed the pine flower egg in front of him with his right hand with chopsticks, picked one up on Hongshuang's plate, bit off a piece of pine flower egg, and chewed it carefully in the girl's indignant gaze.

"Well, it does taste good!"
