On the third floor, at the end of the winding corridor, there is a large and richly decorated room with beds, couches, tables, chairs, and a round table in the center of the door. There was only one person at the table, an old man in his fifties or sixties with a gray beard.

The old man's clothes were unkempt and even a little tattered, which was incompatible with the whole style of 'there are guests', his messy hair was tied at random on the top of his head, and his beard was unevenly long, and at a glance he knew that he had not been properly trimmed on weekdays.

The delicious and fragrant dishes attracted the old man's full attention, and he was so engrossed in the food that he missed the sound of footsteps outside the door.

'Bang! With a bang, Tang Yan pushed open the door heavily, and the sound made the old man's eyes that were intoxicated with the food rise, and he glanced at the abnormality that happened outside the door. But at this look, the old man stared directly and was stunned, "You, you, you, what's wrong with you?" ”

"Long time no see." Tang Yan walked into the room casually, closed the door with her hand, her eyes moved, looked around, and saw how complete the furniture in this room was, the bad old man lived here!

"Good, long... Wrong! I don't want to see you at all! The old man's eyes widened, and he puffed out his cheeks and looked at Tang Yan with the corner of his eye.

"I don't like to hear this, you have eaten me and lived in me for the past two years, and you are not happy to see me? Okay, you can go, you will be charged for the 'guest coming' meal in the future, and you are welcome to come and taste it at any time with money. Tang Yan squinted at the old man and sneered.

The reason why Huoyan's 'Guest's business mode is so similar to Fenglong's 'Food for the Sky' is actually the same person behind the scenes, not long after Tang Yan developed 'Food for the Sky', after she discovered Yan Sheng's identity, she took advantage of it and opened another unique restaurant restaurant to the Huoyan Empire, and in a few years, her industry here has also developed to the point where it is known throughout the country.

When the old man heard that Tang Yan didn't hesitate to drive him away, he immediately blew his hair, and his expression that was originally not waiting to see Tang Yan changed instantly, "Don't, don't, don't, it's not easy for your old man to come all the way, how could I not want to see it, you can come, it's really welcome~ Welcome!" You say, what do you want me to do, I will definitely do it for you without saying a word! ”

It is natural that there are definitely masters of the Martial Emperor in the backstage of 'There are guests', but who would have imagined that this Martial Emperor is such a shameless and undignified old man?

Tang Yan glanced at the old man, "I didn't say that I came here to ask you to do something for me." ”

The bad old man nodded frequently, "Yes, yes, yes, you are right, if there is anything you want me to do, you can find someone to inform me, why don't you need your old man to run it himself!" The bad old man smiled at Tang Yan, completely lacking his consciousness that he was an 'old man'.

"Don't talk nonsense." Tang Yan straightened her expression, walked over and sat down at the dining table, and faced the bad old man, her face became serious, "How much do you know about the four kingdoms of the Fire Flame Empire, the Wind Dragon Empire, the Xuanjing Empire, and the Tianxuan Empire?" ”

The old man almost opened his mouth and replied, "The competition once every five years~ Who doesn't know ...... this"

"It's time for some empires to forcibly cultivate martial king masters with drugs!" Tang Yan glanced at the bad old man and interrupted his words, what she wanted to know was not conventional, everyone knew the news.

The bad old man frowned rarely, "You said this, no wonder, I saw two young people some time ago, they have the strength of a martial king at a young age, and they have reached the point of an eighth-level martial king." At that time, I was thinking that it shouldn't be~~! At that age, that strength, no matter how you look at it, it feels weird, even if there is a genius that is rare in a thousand years, it is impossible to appear two at once, not to mention, their strength makes me feel very strange. Anomalously unstable, it seems that there is a possibility of an outbreak at any time. ”

"Outbreak?" Tang Yan seemed to have caught something, "What do you mean by outburst?" What would it look like if it broke out? ”

"The unstable explosion of power, of course, is the explosion and death, what else can it do? However, in the few minutes before the explosion, the strength must have increased greatly, and maybe he can have the strength of the peak of the Martial King in a short time. However, even if he has the strength of the peak Martial King, he is at most here, and this kind of genius with an unstable foundation has absolutely no chance of breaking through to the Martial Emperor. The bad old man talked about it, but it made Tang Yan frown.

There is a huge gap between the Martial King and the Martial Emperor, once it is broken, the strength is definitely a hundredfold increase, so although there are many Martial Kings, the Martial Emperor is even more rare, at least there are few known Martial Emperors among the four major empires.

She had long thought that there would be sequelae in the masters of drug indoctrination, but she didn't expect that the potential sequelae would be so dangerous! This is not cultivating geniuses at all, but using geniuses as cannon fodder, and discarding them after they have been used.

"The victory of these four kingdoms is so important, let them not hesitate to destroy some geniuses who are expected to become martial emperors in the future?" Tang Yan really couldn't understand the thoughts of the people in charge of the four countries. She can't agree with this kind of killing chickens and taking eggs, she only cares about the little interests in front of her and will do whatever it takes, then the final result must be a fiasco, she doesn't believe that those emperors who play with power don't even understand such a simple truth.

The bad old man nodded, "Of course it's important, it's a matter related to a major treasure and immortal searching." ”

"W-What?" Tang Yan frowned, she didn't seem to hear what the bad old man said just now, or did she hear it wrong?

The bad old man said with an expression of 'you really don't know', "Why do you think there is a four-nation competition for no reason?" What are the four countries compared to? Who is strong and who is weak? Joke! No matter how strong the genius of the country is, no one can swallow anyone when the four countries are balanced. ”

Tang Yan didn't interrupt the bad old man's conversation, she listened carefully, he seemed to know more inside information than her father! At least her father didn't tell her a word about what treasure the winner's outcome would have to do with it.

"There is a treasure on the Flame Continent, and this treasure is not a treasure of money, but a qualification, a qualification for people to enter and get treasures. As for what you get, it's all up to luck. The bad old man said, his expression also fell silent, and he mentioned secret things, which seemed to make him think a lot.

"The five-year Four Kingdoms Great Competition is not about the genius cultivated by which empire is stronger, but in snatching this opportunity, that treasure will only be opened once in five years, and only three people can enter each time, and only those below the age of Martial Emperor and no more than twenty-five years old can enter. Four countries, three places are obviously not enough, and for the sake of fairness, this is the only way to qualify. ”

"And what if all three places are given to the genius of one country?" Tang Yan suddenly thought that there were only three contestants selected by Huo Yan and the Xuanjing Empire in the end, presumably because the cost of cultivating geniuses with medicine was too high, and there were only three places, so there was no need for them to come out with too many masters.

"Win all three places? No way! The bad old man sneered, "The geniuses of other empires are not waste, how can all the places be taken away by one family?" ”

"It was impossible before, but now it's not necessarily, my news is that there are only three geniuses from the Huoyan Empire and the Xuanjing Empire who participated in the Four Kingdoms Competition, and all of them are the people you said are unstable in strength and may explode at any time."

"Then it's troublesome." Hearing this, the bad old man pondered, "If that's the case, then this match may be the result of the geniuses of Huoyan and Xuanjing fighting to the end." ”

In one sentence, he directly excluded the geniuses of the Wind Dragon Empire and the Tianxuan Empire completely?!

"Not necessarily." Tang Yan's eyes were cold, and she said lightly.

The bad old man was noncommittal, "That's a master of the eighth level of the Martial King, and there are people who break out to the peak strength of the Martial King at any time." ”

Tang Yan smiled slightly, "It broke out just right, exploded and died, everyone died, what qualifications are there to get a quota~~"

"Or maybe they have a way to suppress the explosion of power, run out of power and die without exploding?"

The bad old man's words gave Tang Yan a wake-up call. Yes, the news she knows now is just hearsay, and there is no factual basis to confirm that those martial kings with unstable strength will not survive after the outbreak, as long as they can survive, then they are eligible to get the quota.

But......

"Who says you can't fight them without medicine?" Glancing at the bad old man with disdain, Tang Yan continued, "How strong they are, I want to see with my own eyes." ”

"You?" The bad old man burst out laughing, and then looked her up and down, "You still want to do it with them?" People can ...... you with their fingers."

Before the bad old man's words were finished, his eyes widened in surprise and he couldn't speak anymore, only to see Tang Yan smile slightly, and in front of her and the bad old man, a table of food instantly floated in the air!

"This is ......" The old man looked at Tang Yan in surprise across the full sky of dishes, "You did all this?" He was still not sure what he was seeing.

"Is it not me, is it you?" Tang Yan rolled her eyes at the bad old man, snapped her fingers with her left hand, and then the bowls, chopsticks, plates, plates, and saucers all returned to the table, as if everything just now was an illusion.

"I forgot to tell you, a year ago, I worshipped Master." If she wants to find a suitable excuse for her abilities, she can only blame the source of these abilities on the master.

"And then?" The old man was stunned for a moment, he knew that Tang Yan's words were not finished yet.

The girl smiled slightly, "My master is a martial artist. ”

"Who?" The old man glared.

"Emperor Shengwuzun."
