Chapter 1 Ghost Mist Immortal City
"Xiao Yu, why hasn't the fried purple jade scorpion in the No. 3 VIP seat been on yet?Xiao Yu, Xiao Yu, where have you died?" In the Drunken Immortal Building, Shopkeeper Li, who looked very happy because of his obesity, shouted. The Drunken Immortal Building www.biquge.info is the first restaurant in the Ghost Fog Fairy City, the whole restaurant is four floors high, majestic and atmospheric, and it is extremely luxurious.
Just looking at this restaurant, no one would have thought that the Ghost Mist Fairy City was just a small city with a population of more than 100,000.
However, although the ghost fog is small, it is not an ordinary city, but a fairy city.
In a city where a large number of immortal cultivators live, everything in nature is much stronger than the mundane.
At this time, I only heard a young man's voice from the second floor: "Shopkeeper, I'm here." I have already asked the kitchen, and Chef Liu said that the purple jade scorpion is highly poisonous and it is more troublesome to deal with, so I have to wait" I saw the young man come down from the upper floor as he spoke, still holding three round shallow-bottomed porcelain bowls in his hands.
Each of the three porcelain bowls was the size of a washbasin, and the solid bottom was the length of chopsticks, so that they could hide their faces.
However, it can be seen from its steady walking posture that it is by no means one or two times like this, and it seems to be very comfortable.
Shopkeeper Li's face was angry, but he still didn't forget to lower his voice and said: "Don't talk nonsense to Lao Tzu, can this Lao Tzu know?" But this time, Wang Gongzi finally invited the Ziluo Fairy of Feixian Gate, and wanted to behave well in front of the beauty, and now he has been waiting for an hour! The purple jade scorpion has not come up yet, and we have no good fruit to eat if it drags on." You must know that in the Ghost Mist Immortal City, the Wang family stomped their feet, and the Immortal City would tremble three times. Wang Gongzi is the most talented disciple of the Wang family in this generation, and the entire Wang family doesn't know how much to treasure him. ”
Thinking of Wang Gongzi's always slightly gloomy eyes and those who had fought against him before, he had to come to an end. Shopkeeper Li shivered on the dog days of hot prickly heat.
"You go and tell Fat Liu, I'll try to delay it as much as possible, so that he can get the purple jade scorpion for me as soon as possible," Shopkeeper Li said again.
Li Yuran, whose face was almost covered by the bowl, agreed, and then walked towards the kitchen.
Li Yu, who grew up in Ghost Mist Immortal City since he was a child, naturally didn't think that Shopkeeper Li was just talking.
You must know that although Ghost Mist is only a small city with a population of only about 100,000, at least a thousand or so people die every year in Ghost Mist Immortal City.
The reason why so many people died was because of the Yin Mountain Range next to the Ghost Mist Immortal City.
It contains countless heavenly and earthly treasures, and naturally it is also accompanied by endless demon beasts.
Since ancient times, wealth has moved people's hearts, and at least six or seven hundred people die in the Youyin Mountain Range every year.
There are also some who died from bandits, after all, it is much safer to snatch things from people than from monsters, and it is the inferiority of human beings to like to get something for nothing.
The last part is to offend people who shouldn't be offended in Ghost Mist Immortal City, so naturally there is no need to exist.
After a while, Li Yu arrived at the kitchen.
He pushed open the door, looked at the crowd of people busy in the huge kitchen, and quickly found Chef Liu Fat, who was still dealing with the purple jade scorpion, and said: "Chef Liu, shopkeeper Li asked you to hurry up and fry the purple jade scorpion, Wang Gongzi is already impatient to wait." ”
When Chef Liu heard this, he immediately broke out in a sweat: "What? How could I ...... in such a short period of time?"
Li Yu came out before listening to what Chef Liu said.
If it were usual, Li Yu might still listen to two sentences and echo a few sentences, but now there is no need.
Yes, for a person who is about to die, there is naturally no need to deliberately curry favor.
The dish of stir-fried purple jade scorpion, Li Yu can be said to be very familiar.
This dish is one of the signature dishes of Zuixian Lou.
Due to the complexity of the dish, the ingredients are difficult to handle and contain highly toxic ingredients.
If ordinary guests want to eat, they have to make a reservation seven days in advance, and the price is expensive, and this dish alone costs Li Yu two years' wages.
Of course, distinguished guests like Wang Gongzi can come and eat at any time.
However, it takes three hours for this dish to be fast.
And the hour that has passed now, plus the time that Shopkeeper Li may buy for Chef Liu, will never exceed two hours.
Thinking about the alluring appearance and bewitching temperament of Miss Ziluo, who is known as the first fairy in the outer gate of Feixian Gate.
Even Li Yu, who was only fourteen years old and had a relatively cold personality, felt a burst of heat in his abdomen.
Not to mention the prince who is secretly known as the "flower destroyer".
And from the past, Wang Gongzi didn't seem to be a reasonable person.
It can be said that Chef Liu Pang is dead this time.
As soon as Li Yu came out, he hurriedly dealt with the matter at hand.
Then, he left the Drunken Immortal Building without looking back.
After all, no one knows if a fat chef Liu can completely remove Wang Gongzi's anger.
He Li Yu is just an orphan whose parents died, but he is no better than the shopkeeper Li has a background of Feixian Gate behind him, and if he is implicated, he will be shattered.
Sometimes Li Yu himself felt that it was a miracle that an eight-year-old orphan could live for six years in the Ghost Mist Immortal City, a place that eats people and does not spit out bones, and is still alive.
Whether it's really a miracle or not, though.
Li Yu's precociousness and prudence played a crucial role in this, and this may be the only gain brought to him by the sudden death of his parents.
As soon as he got home, Li Yu closed the door and closed all the windows at the same time.
First, I meditated in bed and completed the daily homework. It was from sunset to the middle of the moon that I slowly finished work.
It slowly opened its eyes, revealing a wry smile.
He had been stuck in the third layer of Qi training for two years, and there was no sign of breaking through the bottleneck until now.
The Qi training period is divided into nine layers, with the first to third layers being the early stage, the fourth to sixth layers being the middle stage, and the seventh to ninth layer being the late stage.
The third to fourth floors seem to be separated by a thin line, but in fact they are worlds apart.
Not to mention that you can practice higher-level spells in the middle stage of Qi training, just once you enter the middle stage, you can use magic weapons, which can make your combat effectiveness increase in a straight line.
If it is said that the streets were all over the streets in the early stage of Qi refining in Ghost Mist Immortal City, he could be regarded as a small master in the middle stage of Qi refining.
You don't have to worry about having a good job wherever you go, and the speed of earning spirit stones is also ten times higher and easier.
Naturally, the difficulty of promotion is beyond imagination when it comes to the benefits of promotion.
Some people can only stop at the early stage of qi cultivation for the rest of their lives, and such people can be said to abound in the ghost mist.
Li Yu now has this kind of trouble.
"It seems that with my qualifications, even if I put in many times more effort than others, it is impossible to impact the middle stage of Qi cultivation, and I must use the power of the elixir," Li Yumu said resolutely.
Then he thought that the pill that hit the bottleneck was already several times more expensive than other pills.
Even the cheapest Chong Spirit Pill required a full four hundred lower-grade spirit stones, but he didn't even have half of them.
This amount of spirit stones is definitely a big problem for Li Yu, and he only does a dozen or so low-grade spirit stones in a month in the restaurant.
Even if you don't eat or drink, it will take 3 years to save enough spirit stones left.
But in the early spring of next year, it will be the day of the entrance selection of the Flying Immortal Gate.
And the most basic reference qualification of the Flying Immortal Gate is the middle stage of qi training, and the most important thing is that Li Yu is estimated to have this opportunity to participate in this life.
Thinking of this, Li Yu began to be uncalm. His face changed for a moment.
Since the death of his parents, if there is anything he cannot let go, it is strength, the power to control his own destiny.
A deep thirst for power is buried in the bottom of my heart.
It will not fade with time;
Thinking of the battle between the two 'Dao Foundation Period' powerhouses more than ten miles away from the ghost fog, the mountains collapsed, the river was diverted, and the spiritual power poured into the sky, causing the heavens and the earth to change color.
The kind of power that is enough to make anyone fearful, to do whatever they want, to be unscrupulous.
Just thinking about it makes people's blood accelerate, the heart beats wildly, and the blood seems to boil.
At that time, the Ghost Mist Immortal City, which was more than ten miles away from the battlefield, seemed to be shaken, as if it would be shattered by that terrifying force at any time.
At that time, the aftermath of the leaked spiritual power was shocking Li Yu trembled all over, his limbs were weak, and he collapsed directly to the ground, almost urinating**.
And afterwards, you can also hear the constant screams and wails of the ghost fog surrounding the city.
Since then, those two god-like figures have been deeply imprinted in Li Yu's heart, and he secretly swore in his heart that one day he, Li Yu, would also reach this realm.
Li Yu also seems to have been born for cultivation, he can bear the loneliness and boredom that others can't bear, and he can really focus on cultivation and not be moved by external things.
But God seemed to have played a big joke with Li Yu, and he had the mentality of cultivating the Dao, but he didn't give him the talent to cultivate.
The difference between the bones of one body has almost cut off the possibility of cultivation, and now it can be said that the cultivation of the third level of Qi cultivation can be said to be thanks to Li Yu's incomparable perseverance.
Endure the sourness of the meridians every day, and others run ten weeks is the limit, Li Yu runs eleven weeks, twelve weeks, month after month.
Up to now, Li Yu can run twenty-eight days a day, almost three times that of ordinary people, and I don't know how much suffering I have endured in the meantime.
At the most severe time, even absorbing spiritual energy can make the meridians feel an incomparably sharp pain, as if a sharp blade is cutting the meridians, and this pain penetrates deep into the bone marrow.
It's like a person breathing a small fragment of a blade into the abdominal cavity.
And it's not for a moment, but for nearly half an hour.
Li Yu's heart was tenacious to this inhuman state, and it was with this perseverance that he was able to surpass many people whose cultivation talent was above him.
After a stick of incense, Li Yu seemed to have finally made up his mind.
I saw him get out of bed and crawl under the bed, and it didn't take long for him. He took out a rectangular wooden box from under the third stone slab under the bed, and stared at the wooden box again in a trance.
The contents of this wooden box were bought by his father when he was not born, and the contents contained countless fatherly love and expectations.
It cost them more than half of their family's spirit stones to buy this thing.
You must know that when his parents were still alive at that time, they were all masters in the late stage of Qi training, and there were only about a hundred existences of this level in the entire Ghost Mist Immortal City.
You can imagine the preciousness of the contents of this wooden box.
Li Yu looked attentive, and slowly opened the box as if stroking a lover.
Inside was a middle-class flying sword magic weapon.
If others knew that Li Yu had a mid-level magic weapon, he would definitely get it at all costs.
You must know that the weapons used by immortal cultivators can be roughly divided into: magic weapons, spiritual weapons, and magic weapons.
Although the magic weapon only belongs to the lowest level of weapons in the immortal cultivation world, and the magic weapon is difficult to have further space due to the material.
However, in the Ghost Mist Immortal City, where there are few refiners, even a low-level magic weapon is enough to cause a bloody case, let alone a mid-level magic weapon.
In fact, in addition to himself, there is an inevitable reason why Li Yu desires to be strong, that is, he has been yearned for all his life by his father.
The sword given to him by Li Yu's father is called "Ask Immortals", which means that he hopes that Li Yu will one day be able to hold this sword and ask the Immortals.
His father knew that the highest achievement in his life was the late stage of Qi training, and even if he made any further progress, at most he would step into the Qi cultivation to perfection, and there was no hope for the condensation period.
Therefore, before Li Yu was born, he bought this sword for Li Yu.
I hope that Li Yu can go farther than him and see the scenery farther away for him. This is a father's deepest hope and hope for his son.
