Chapter 80: Danshi Gathering
There were twenty or thirty people gathered in the courtyard. From sturdy young people to old people, from personable to sloppy, all kinds of people are different.
Around the courtyard, maids stood in the corners, and fruit plates and wine were placed on stone tables.
Ye Lingyu asked the guards who were leading the way next to him, "Could it be that these are all invited by the master of the Situ family?"
The guard nodded hurriedly: "These people are all guests of the master, and they are all invited to come today." The formal banquet will have to wait for a while, so please take a break here. ”
"Oh, I wonder what the master of the Situ family invited them for?"
"I guess it's the same as adults. The guard replied respectfully.
Ye Lingyu pretended to nod and didn't say more, so as not to say too much. After explaining to the guards, he let him retreat.
In the corner of the courtyard, the two found a stone table to sit down and secretly observed the people around them.
"Lao Ye, I can't see that the master of the Situ family is so hospitable. If you look at all kinds of people, they all come from all over the world. He doesn't care about his identity and makes friends, and in this regard, he compares with me. ”
"He invited these people to come, I am afraid for the sake of the two hundredth birthday. Ye Lingyu said in a deep voice.
The guards at the door naturally couldn't be so enthusiastic all the time, and the reason why they were enthusiastic was probably just in time for the Situ family to entertain guests.
It's just that he can't understand what these completely different people have in common, and they would be invited to come at the same time. The Situ family is the largest famous family in Sai'an City, and it would be reasonable for him to invite some rich and noble people here, but some of these people he invited were even ragged, and their images were extremely indecent.
And just as he was thinking, suddenly a middle-aged man walked over. He was dressed in a green shirt, with a high crown in his hair, and a two-handed, figure-eight mustache.
"Two little brothers, contemptible and polite. Bazihu smiled and raised his hand in salute.
Although Ye Lingyu didn't know his intention, he still hurriedly returned the salute.
Bazihu sat down on the stone bench next to him: "Seeing that the two little brothers are not very old, but they also have such achievements, the old man is really sighing to himself, presumably the two must be from the disciple of a certain master." ”
"Master?" Ye Lingyu looked suspicious, he hadn't figured out the meaning of the other party's words, so he could only say casually, "It's just an unknown person, how did he come from." ”
Bazi Hu smiled lightly: "The little brother is modest, he can be invited by the head of the Situ family, where will he be an unknown person when he comes here." Although the two of them don't seem to be very old, they must have been able to do alchemy. ”
"Alchemy?" Ye Lingyu was shocked in his heart, and vaguely guessed something, so he tried to follow the other party's words, "To be honest, our two brothers also came from afar, and we don't know much about this Sai'an City. Shouldn't it be that the people in this courtyard are all alchemists? ”
"Yunyou? Oh, the two of them have already traveled all over the world at a young age, and they are really unseemly. As the little brother said, all the people in this courtyard are alchemists. ”
When he was talking nonsense, his tone was a little excited. In his opinion, Ye Lingyu and the others are definitely less than twenty years old in terms of appearance. But to say that two teenagers under twenty are traveling all over the world, he really doesn't believe it. In his eyes, Ye Lingyu and the others may have used some kind of anti-faceting elixir to maintain their youthful appearance. Maybe they themselves have already lived dozens or hundreds of years old.
Ye Lingyu didn't care about the weirdness in his eyes, he just kept looking at the crowd around him.
He hadn't noticed it before, but when he looked at it now, he found that the people who were talking, with their gestures, all had a vague alchemist demeanor. Those subtle movements that were inadvertently revealed were all related to alchemy, presumably because they were often exposed to pills and were accustomed to it.
The guests invited to this banquet were all alchemists, so recalling, when they were in the tavern before, the two young men also said similar things.
The reason why the guards at the door were so respectful must have misunderstood their identities. The alchemist is not something that ordinary little guards can offend, so the guards are enthusiastic when they meet people, and they would rather admit their mistakes than offend.
Alchemists have always had a noble status, and even if ordinary people want to invite one, they have to spend a lot of money, but this Situ family has invited dozens of people, and it is really worthy of the largest family in Sai'an City.
"I also want to ask, these people, are they all some kind of Dan masters?" Ye Lingyu asked as he looked at the eight-character nonsense.
Bazi Hu stroked his beard, and pointed to a white-bearded old man opposite with a smile: "Little brother, look, that one, known as 'Xuandan Old Man', we usually call him Xuan Lao, he is a third-grade alchemist, and he is the most promising person among all to be promoted to the fourth-grade." ”
As he spoke, he pointed to another person: "There is also that woman, everyone calls her 'Poison Girl', and she is also a third-grade alchemist, but what she is best at is refining poison pills." ”
"Poison Pill!" Ye Lingyu's eyes shrank, "The head of the Situ family even invites this kind of person?"
"The master of the Situ family invited the alchemist this time, and he didn't care about the origin and means. ”
"I see. Ye Lingyu bowed slightly.
After that, Bazihu introduced a few people to Ye Lingyu, including three-grade and two-grade ones.
"Why don't you see a first-class Dan Master?" Ye Lingyu asked.
The little brother laughed, the Danshi invited this time are at least two grades, and the first-grade Danshi is not on the banquet list. ”
When Ye Lingyu heard this, he hurriedly smiled, but this smile was a little weak.
Now that he can refine the Fire Spirit Pill, he can be regarded as stepping into the ranks of Dan masters with half a foot. There is a rule in the alchemy world that each level of Dan Master must be evidenced by three pills. In other words, if Ye Lingyu wants to become an alchemist of the first grade, he must refine three different first-grade pills, so that he can indicate that he has entered the list of the first grade.
And he has only refined the Fire Spirit Pill so far, and to be honest, he can't even be called the lowest-level first-grade Dan Master.
Here, he is like a sheep in wolf's clothing, entering the wolf's den, walking on cold ice with every step, for fear of being exposed.
While they were talking, there was a sudden commotion at the door.
Everyone turned their heads to look, and saw a young man in his twenties walking through the cloister towards the courtyard.
The man was dressed in a golden silk robe, with a thumb-thick gold chain around his neck, and his hands behind his back, and he walked with a vigorous demeanor.
He walked all the way, and the guards next to him repeatedly blocked him, but he grabbed him directly by the collar and threw him into the pond next to him.
"Lao Tzu came to attend the banquet of your Situ family, that is to give you enough face, you little guard does not have long eyes, and you dare to stand in the way of Uncle Ben, you are afraid that you don't want to live." The man sneered, and walked three or two steps to the courtyard.
When Bazihu saw the man, his face immediately showed horror: "It's him, why did he come." ”
"Who?" Ye Lingyu asked.
"You don't even know him?" Bazi Hu was startled, but suddenly remembered that Ye Lingyu had said that he had just come to Sai'an City not long ago, and he should not know how powerful that person was, "Little brother, you don't know something." In the desert outside the city of Sai'an, there has been a group of bandits, this group of bandits is called 'Tempest', and they are extremely numerous and powerful. And this man, whose name is Mad Baixiong, is the son of the leader of the tempest. ”
"Hurricane!" Ye Lingyu suddenly remembered, he had also heard Ruo Ning mention this group of bandits before, "The master of the Situ family even invited the bandits?"
"No, no, although the head of the Situ family is hospitable, he will not invite this kind of person, this crazy hundred heroes should come uninvited. ”
Ye Lingyu's eyes narrowed slightly, and his gaze gradually sharpened.
Crazy Baixiong strode to the center of the courtyard and swept around the crowd at random: "A group of alchemists, heh, this is really a big deal." ”
His tone was provocative, and his eyes were even more disdainful. It was as if in front of him was not a group of noble Dan masters, but a group of stinky beggars.
His arrogant attitude immediately caused dissatisfaction among the crowd. Someone spoke sharply: "Crazy Baixiong, the Situ family is feasting guests, what are bandits like you doing here." ”
"Roar, what a guest. Do you think that if you can refine one or two broken pills, it will be very remarkable? You see that you are one or two, you have a lot of beard, and you are only a two-grade or three-grade alchemist, you don't feel ashamed, I feel ashamed. ”
"Mad Baixiong, I don't allow you to insult our Danshi identity. ”
"I'm insulted, what can you do to me? Do you still want to do anything with me?"
"You ......" the Dan Master was so choked that he couldn't speak.
Instead, Bazi Hu whispered to Ye Lingyu next to him: "Although this crazy hundred heroes are arrogant, they should not be underestimated. He is not very old, but he is already a fourth-grade Dan master, and his cultivation has reached the level of the peak of the Yellow Order. ”
"Danwu Cultivation Together!" Ye Lingyu was slightly stunned.
You must know that alchemy and cultivation are carried out at the same time, and this is not a matter of one plus one. A person has limited energy, and develops in two aspects at the same time, it is very likely that he will not be proficient in both paths, and in the end he will not achieve anything.
However, this mad hundred heroes can reach the fourth rank in alchemy, and can reach the peak of the yellow rank in cultivation, which is enough to show that his qualifications are extraordinary.
I saw that after walking around the crowd, his gaze finally fixed on the direction of Ye Lingyu and the others.
Ye Lingyu's heart suddenly felt a little bad.
I saw Crazy Baixiong striding towards and standing in front of the two: "You two, stand up for me." This place is for Danshi to sit, what are you two doing sitting here?"
Seeing that the situation was not right, he hurriedly slipped away.
Mo Fei looked at him with a smile on his face: "You said that the two of us are subordinates?"
"What's the matter, let me get out if you tell you to go, two people covered in dirt called Hanako, what are you doing here?"
When Ye Lingyu heard him say this, he vaguely realized something. He and the others had passed through the desert before, but they hadn't had time to clean up, and there was a little dust on their bodies and faces, which looked a little sloppy, and in addition, they were too young to look like an alchemist. Presumably this is the reason why he was targeted by this crazy hundred heroes.
Although his clothes were a little dirty, and although he was not very old, he had not yet reached the point of being oppressed, he reached out and dusted off his clothes a little, and said lightly: "If I don't let you, what will you do?"
"Don't let it?" He didn't expect that these two poor and sour looking guys would dare to be tough in front of him, and they laughed angrily at the moment.
"I can't see it, two poor sour stinky boys, the bones are quite hard, do you expect me to loosen your bones?"
Ye Lingyu only smiled and didn't answer.
If possible, he didn't want to make a move at such a time. He came here for the fire spirit essence, if someone found out his identity and was kicked out, it would be a bit more than worth the loss. But if this mad Baixiong really wants to cause trouble, he is not afraid.
