Chapter 23: The Eve of the Great War
Chu Yunfan followed Huangfu Shaoqi to the foot of Muhuang Peak, and the two of them meandered up along the excavated road, there were many disciples coming and going along the way, it was not lively, and it was a thriving scene, which formed a sharp contrast with the desertion of Qingyun Peak.
"Fourth Senior Brother, this Wood Emperor Peak is really worthy of the word Wood Emperor, you see the lush flowers and plants on this road, the ancient trees are towering, the trees are shady, and it is all green as far as the eye can see. Chu Yunfan enjoyed the scenery on both sides as he walked, this was the first time he had come to the other spiritual peaks of the Zixiao Sect, and there was a curiosity in his eyes that could not be concealed.
"Well, this Wood Emperor Peak is indeed the most vibrant among the Spirit Peaks, and this has something to do with their own inheritance. Huangfu Shaoqi nodded with a smile and said, "Muhuang Peak is mainly based on wood-based exercises, and every disciple who cultivates has a vigorous vitality on his body. Over time, the vitality of this Muhuang Peak has become more and more intense, and various vegetation has grown rapidly and vigorously, evolving into this thriving scene. ”
While they were talking, the two of them had come to an exquisite courtyard, which was surrounded by emerald green plants, and even the door was covered with some green vines. Huangfu Shaoqi strode to the door, pushed open the door and walked in directly, shouting, "Ye Youdao, come out quickly." ”
Chu Yunfan shook his head with a smile, lifted his footsteps and followed.
"Huangfu Shaoqi, why are you here with me? My good wine has been drunk by you, and there is not a drop left. Ye Youdao looked at Huangfu Shaoqi who was pacing in, and said loudly, making a painful expression on his face.
"Go, who is rare with your broken wine. Let's go, today my junior brother has a treat, let's go to Haizhen Building for a meal to celebrate his successful promotion to the early stage of Huajin. Huangfu Shaoqi waved his hand and said with a smile.
"Oh, it's advanced so quickly, it's not bad. It is indeed time to celebrate, so let's have a good drink today, and we will not return home if we are not drunk. After Ye Youdao heard this, he turned his head to look at Chu Yunfan, who came in behind Huangfu Shaoqi, and there was a slight surprise in his eyes, he didn't expect that this little junior brother of Huangfu Shaoqi would enter the realm quite quickly.
Chu Yunfan and the three of them talked and laughed all the way, and after a while, they came to the front of the restaurant. Just as Chu Yunfan walked into the dining building, he suddenly felt a cruel gaze staring at him, and then his eyes swept around the dining building, and immediately discovered the source of the peeping.
I saw Shao Zongchu with a gloomy face, and he was walking down from the second floor, and happened to see Chu Yunfan and the three of them who had just entered the door. He stared at Chu Yunfan viciously, his eyes were full of resentment, he hated to dismantle Chu Yunfan into eight pieces, and then tear it up and swallow it. If it weren't for Huangfu Shaoqi being next to Chu Yunfan, Shao Zongchu knew that he didn't have a chance to start, otherwise he might really not be able to restrain himself and rush forward to abolish Chu Yunfan.
"Little junior brother, let's go up. Huangfu Shaoqi also saw Shao Zongchu standing on the stairs, but his face did not change at all, and he beckoned Chu Yunfan to go upstairs.
The three of them walked up calmly, and when they passed by Shao Zongchu's side, Huangfu Shaoqi paused slightly, and said lightly: "It's better to die than to live, I advise you not to do anything impulsive, otherwise you will ......"
Huangfu Shaoqi only stopped slightly, and only a few people around him heard his warning to Shao Zongchu. In the eyes of others, all this is not noticeable at all, and the two are completely passing by, without any intersection.
The restaurant in this faction, Hai Zhen Building, has nine floors, which is very magnificent, except for the lowest floor, the other floors are private rooms, and there is no distinction. It's just that I don't know when it started, the disciples with high cultivation all went to the private rooms on the upper floors to eat, and the disciples with low cultivation consciously ate in the private rooms on the lower floors, and over time such an unwritten rule was formed.
The three of them came to the top floor, ordered some good food and wine, and ate happily. Huangfu Shaoqi and Ye Youdao ate and drank well, but Chu Yunfan was really painful and happy. For the first time, I found that the consumption here was so expensive, and I ate more than 500 merit points for this meal alone. In fact, it can't be said that the consumption here is too expensive, but Chu Yunfan used to order some ordinary dishes at will, but this time it's different, good wine and good food, these dishes are made of the flesh and blood of some fierce beasts and monsters, which are great supplements for martial artists, and ordinary martial artists can't afford to eat them.
"I said junior brother, you feel distressed just like that, didn't you earn a lot of merit points from that mission in Heishui Mountain last time, do you still care about this little money?" Huangfu Shaoqi looked at Chu Yunfan, who was gobbling up and turning grief and anger into appetite, and quipped. To be honest, Huangfu Shaoqi and Ye Youdao are still very kind, although the dishes they ordered are slightly expensive in the eyes of Chu Yunfan, they are the most ordinary in the eyes of the two of them, and the food they usually come here to eat is much more expensive than this.
In the Zixiao Sect, as long as it is related to the sect, it can be traded with merit points, and of course, it can also use the common currency on the Kyushu continent, the Gathering Spirit Pill. The Gathering Spirit Pill contains the purest spiritual power of heaven and earth, which can be used to supplement the spiritual power of the martial artist himself, so it is a hard currency on the Kyushu continent.
However, what Huangfu Shaoqi said was really true, Chu Yunfan really earned a lot in the last mission, and there were 5,000 merit points for half of the task reward given by Meng Tianhui alone, plus Meng Zhengtian knocked 100,000 merit points from He Zhiyuan's hand later, and asked Meng Tianhui to give him 30,000. In this way, I can be regarded as a little money, so that I will not be poor after eating this meal.
The three of them left the restaurant after a full meal, and went back to practice to prepare for the war between the two clans in advance.
Time always flies in the days of cultivation, and in the blink of an eye, there are only three days before the war between the two clans, and several senior brothers have already returned to Qingyun Peak, and Chu Yunfan has also become familiar with them one by one.
Senior brother Zhao Xingyi, who is in his thirties, is just as mediocre as Chu Yunfan. But Chu Yunfan is the kind of ordinary that reveals a heroic spirit, and his eyes reveal a stubborn extraordinary. And Zhao Xing is also different, completely introverted, it seems a little simple, if you don't know people, you won't think of him as a martial arts powerhouse at the pinnacle of Dacheng, and you will even be mistaken for an ordinary person.
The third senior brother Situ Yu has a cold appearance, basically no expression on his face, he doesn't like words, and he is an out-and-out martial idiot. Just like what he heard Sixth Senior Sister Yan Feiyun say before, he may not be able to hold anything else in his heart except cultivation.
The fifth senior brother Sun Zining is the most outstanding person among the senior brothers, with a face like a crown of jade, clear eyebrows, a tall and slender body, and he is really a modest and beautiful man with a graceful demeanor.
"Is Senior Brother Chu here?" Just as Chu Yunfan was meditating in the room, Chen Bin's voice came from outside the door.
Chu Yunfan immediately got up and opened the door, and at a glance he saw Chen Bin standing at the door, and then said, "Senior Brother Chen, I don't know what the matter is to find a junior brother?"
"The peak master asked me to come over and invite you over to dine together, by the way, the other senior brothers have also arrived. ”
"Oh, it's not too late, so let's go, don't let them wait. Chu Yunfan closed the door and walked towards Qingyun Hall with Chen Bin.
Chu Yunfan and the others bypassed several corridors and came to a courtyard in the inner hall of Qingyun Palace, where Li Yibai and several of Chu Yunfan's senior brothers were already waiting at this time.
Seeing this, Chu Yunfan hurriedly trotted over, came to Li Yibai and the others, clasped his hands into fists and said to everyone: "Let the master and a few senior brothers wait for a long time, Yun Fan really can't help it." ”
"Little junior brother, you have made Master and the senior brothers wait for so long, and you will have to toast the master and each senior brother with three glasses of wine later. Huangfu Shaoqi and Chu Yunfan were already very familiar with each other, so they joked.
"Okay, Fourth Senior Brother, don't joke about the little junior brother, come, take your seats. Without waiting for Chu Yunfan to reply, Zhao Xing also opened his mouth to relieve Chu Yunfan.
"Peak Master, senior brothers, if there is nothing to do, then Chen Bin will retire first, what do you need to call me. Just when everyone was about to take their seats, Chen Bin's voice sounded, and everyone remembered that there was another Chen Bin, why did they forget him.
Chu Yunfan hurriedly spoke: "Senior Brother Chen, let's cook and eat together, there are no outsiders here." ”
"Yes, Senior Brother Chen will sit down together. Zhao Xing also said, Qingyunfeng is already sparsely populated, so it is easy for everyone to get acquainted with Chen Bin, and they have been getting along very well in the past few days, and they do not treat him as an outsider.
"Chen Bin, you can sit down together. Li Yibai said lightly.
"Thank you, Lord Feng, thank you to a few senior brothers. After Chen Bin heard Li Yibai's words, he no longer shirked and followed everyone to take a seat.
After everyone sat down, Li Yibai looked at Chen Bin and said slowly: "Chen Bin, this seat wants to accept you as a registered disciple, are you willing?"
Through getting along with each other during this time, Li Yibai feels that Chen Bin is not bad at doing things for others, diligent, and down-to-earth, and may not have much achievement, but at least he can gain something. Besides, there are only a few people in Qingyunfeng, who can he worship as a teacher? He can't just let him have no teacher, so he plans to accept him as a registered disciple.
"What, Peak Master...... You want to accept me as a registered disciple......" Chen Bin had just sat down, his buttocks were not yet hot, and his whole body immediately bounced up. He couldn't believe that such a good thing as a pie falling from the world and smashing it on his head would happen to him, and his whole mind was still in a state of chaos, completely unable to think.
Seeing this, Chu Yunfan, who was sitting next to Chen Bin, pulled the long sleeve of Chen Bin's right hand and signaled him to hurry up and agree.
Under Chu Yunfan's reminder, Chen Bin finally came to his senses, left his seat, took a step back, knelt on his knees, kowtowed to Li Yibai a few times and said, "Disciple Chen Bin has seen Master." ”
"Well, sit down and eat. Li Yibai said lightly.
After a full meal of wine and food, Li Yibai said: "In three days, you will enter the Xuanwu Dimensional Realm, you are all stepping there for the first time, be careful at all times, and don't be careless." Here are a few spiritual runes that have been refined for the teacher, and they will be given to you. ”
Li Yibai's right hand was raised lightly, and several cyan spiritual lights fell into the hands of Chu Yunfan and others, it was a pale cyan spirit rune, very small, I don't know what kind of material it was made of, it emitted a slight cyan light, especially in this dark night, it was very beautiful.
"This spirit rune is infused with a spiritual sense of the teacher, and it has the power of the early stage of the Sanhua Realm martial artist to strike with all his strength, and it can save his life at a critical moment. Mingyue and Feiyun's side have already been handed over to them as teachers, and that's all there can be done for teachers, and the rest depends on you. Li Yibai said lightly, his tone was very flat.
Li Yibai said it very lightly, but Chu Yunfan and the others all knew that refining this kind of spirit rune would have a huge loss of one's spiritual power and divine sense, and Li Yibai refined six at once, although the level was not high, it was not so easy. Refining these things, Li Yibai will not be able to recover without a handful of them.
"Apprentice thanked Master......" Chu Yunfan and the others knew Li Yibai's hard work, and they didn't shirk, and said in unison.
