There are quite a few people in front of this booth, most of them dressed as civilians. The finished products that the man gave them were all wrapped in paper, and at first glance there was nothing to see, except that the money jar next to his stall was getting fuller.

"Master. ”

Ye Hengyuan shouted. He could smell that the barbecue must be extremely delicious.

"Huh?" Qiu Bai stopped and turned around, "Want to eat this barbecue?"

Ye Hengyuan nodded, focusing his gaze on the middle-aged man. The middle-aged man began to add vegetables to the oven on the upper level again, also one by one, almost without cutting much. His mouth kept muttering an incomprehensible word, over and over again, like a spell.

A layer of soundproof protective shield condensed by air flow spread out from Qiu Bai's body, enveloping him and Ye Hengyuan's bodies. He took two steps back and stood back beside Ye Hengyuan, his eyes narrowing slightly, staring at the upper part of the oven. He stretched out his big hand and held Ye Hengyuan's shoulder, his eyes flashing with bright blue light.

"Uh......"

Ye Hengyuan was about to say something, when a cool spiritual power fluctuation slowly injected into his brain and retina. He could clearly see that the top part of the oven had become transparent, and the condition inside was all in his eyes.

In the inner wall of the oven, there are several gears of different shapes and sizes. Each gear has a layer of weak spiritual power fluctuations attached to it, which rotate at different speeds and in different directions. These gears first cut the large piece of meat into different shapes, then cut the vegetables into thin strips or filaments, and then use a large gear below to embed the shredded vegetables into the meat before they are placed on the lower layer to be roasted. The finished product comes in several different shapes, including sparrows, swallows, seagulls, and eagles.

What's more, in the inner wall, in the space between the gears, there are several golden weird words. These words are somewhat similar to the words on the healing bells of Wen Ying and Wen Yan sisters, but they are not exactly the same.

"This man is a spirit master," Qiu Bai said, "and his cultivation is about the same as yours." This oven is his martial spirit, and the words in it are ancient words. ”

"Huh?" Ye Hengyuan raised his head and looked at his master's face, "Is it an ancient saying?"

"Yes," said Huber, "you know what an ancient saying is? a special text that has been handed down from ancient times like a spell. Only a very small number of Spirit Masters will automatically have one or more ancient sayings on their martial spirits, and give them a natural move or natural ability. In the Cangling Academy, there is a course that teaches ancient languages. It's just that it's only open to advanced students, and there are very few students who can learn it. ”

"Is it because it's hard to learn?"

"This is one thing," Qiu Bai said, "when it was first invented, it was only used to better cultivate advanced secret arts and perform top-level martial arts, so it was extremely difficult to understand. Except for those who are born with an ancient language for martial spirits, it is difficult for most people to understand it. Even those with ancient sayings in the martial spirits can only understand a small part of the martial spirits related to their own martial spirits. However, if it can be applied skillfully, it will bring amplification to the user's moves and deepen the user's understanding of martial arts moves. ”

"Oh," Ye Hengyuan nodded, "Does that mean that people who don't have a martial spirit that carries the ancient language innate can't learn it?"

"Not really. What, are you interested in this?" Qiu Bai raised his hand and stroked Ye Hengyuan's forehead, "It's okay to be selected to sit in on the class, but it's best not to spend too much time and energy." This thing is very difficult to learn, and even if you learn it all, whether you can apply it well depends on your talent. This thing is basically lost now, and very few people in the entire spirit master world have studied it. Among the spirit generals of our generation, only the old thing of Wuhai and the two spirit generals of Holy Water and Creation understand this better. I don't really understand. ”

Ye Hengyuan stared at the middle-aged man, and glanced at his oven martial spirit a few more times. The spiritual power released from his martial spirit fluctuated very weakly, not at all like the strength of the same level as himself, and he couldn't tell what the attribute was, neither like the fire attribute nor the earth attribute.

"Oh," Qiu Bai smiled, "I almost forgot, you want this barbecue." Buy it. Bring me two strings too. ”

"Yes, Master. ”

Ye Hengyuan took a golden ticket from Qiu Bai and lined up at the back of the line. A few minutes later, he was at the front of the line.

"What do you want, lad?" sparrows, seagulls, or phoenixes?"

The middle-aged man's accent was strange, hoarse and low, not like the accent of the people of Cangling City, nor the accent of Cangyan Province. Sounds like it's coming from the south.

"Uncle, is there still a phoenix?" Ye Hengyuan asked, "How much is a phoenix?"

"The phoenix is expensive, a spirit coin for one place. And you'll have to wait a few minutes. ”

"Okay. Then bring me four. Ye Hengyuan handed over the golden ticket of the one-day spirit coin that Qiu Bai gave him.

Fifteen minutes later, four skewers of steaming phoenix-shaped barbecue arrived in Ye Hengyuan's hands. These four "phoenixes" are all carved to lifelike, whether it is the head, wings and tail, all of them are no different from the phoenix pattern on Lei Xi's thunder gun. The wings of each "phoenix" are carved with overlapping patterns, like feathers, and the patterns are interspersed with various colors of vegetable silk, just like a real colorful phoenix.

Ye Hengyuan happened to be hungry, picked out two large strings and handed them to Qiu Bai, picked up the two slightly smaller ones himself, and gnawed them in a big gulp.

"Xiaoyuan, eat slowly," Qiu Bai said with a smile, "There is too much oil in this barbecue, and it's not good to eat too fast." ”

"Hmm...... Hmm......" Ye Hengyuan's mouth was full of meat and vegetables, and he nodded while eating.

"Master...... In fact...... I also cook barbecue...... I will definitely make ...... for you in the future."

Qiu Bai smiled and said nothing, tasting the barbecue in his hand while looking at Ye Hengyuan's satisfied look.

Half an hour later, Qiu Bai took Ye Hengyuan to walk through the entire snack street. The master and apprentice found a stone bench next to a small house and sat down, and ate all the food they had bought.

"Have you eaten enough?" Qiu Bai smiled and patted Ye Hengyuan's shoulder, "It's almost time." Let's go, go to the Heavenly Spirit Pavilion. ”

"Tianling Pavilion?" Ye Hengyuan stood up from the stone bench, "Master, is that the place for the meeting?"

"Yes. ”

Qiu Bai stretched out his hand and put it on Ye Hengyuan's shoulder. A cyan spiritual wave enveloped the bodies of the two.

"It's the office building of the Twelve Spirits. Let's go. ”

"Whoosh!" Qiu Bai and Ye Hengyuan's bodies disappeared instantly. Those who were close to them all felt dizzy in their brains, and by the time they came back to their senses, they were no longer visible.

When Ye Hengyuan came back to his senses, he was already standing at the door of the front yard of the Heavenly Spirit Pavilion.

"Ah...... It's ......"

In front of him were two heavy gates, and two guards guarding the door. He raised his head and looked up, and saw the towering Heavenly Spirit Pavilion.

"Wow...... So high......"

"When I flew with you, it was much higher than that," Qiu Bai said with a smile, "and I didn't see you so surprised." ”

"Oh, yes......" Ye Hengyuan nodded, "Master, let's ...... How did this come about?"

"It's teleportation. I haven't taken you to do it before because your spiritual power level and physical fitness are not enough, and I'm afraid you'll be disgusted. Let's go inside. ”

Qiu Bai walked to the front door, took out a gold medal from his pocket, and showed it to the two guards at the door. The two guards immediately saluted Qiu Bai and opened the gate.

Ye Hengyuan followed Qiu Bai into the gate. As soon as he entered the gate, the two doors closed without making a sound.

Qiu Bai did not go directly to the building, but stood in the middle of the courtyard. This courtyard is completely different from the courtyard in the archives, there are no plants in the whole courtyard, and there is no superfluous decoration, only black and gray stone bricks laid on the ground. When you look up, you see the tall tower that looks like a black cone.

"Wow," Ye Hengyuan stood behind Qiu Bai, "Master, is this the Heavenly Spirit Pavilion, it looks like a fortress......"

"Well," Huber nodded, "it is indeed a fortress. The office buildings of all state organs in the Cangling Kingdom are fortresses. It has a total of fifteen floors. The first floor is the council hall, the second floor is the office, and the third to fourteenth floors are the cultivation rooms of our twelve spirit generals. These twelve cultivation rooms are generally arranged according to the strength of the individual, and the stronger the person, the higher his cultivation room. My cultivation room is on the tenth floor. ”

"Oh," Ye Hengyuan nodded, "That's the case...... And what does the top floor do?"

"I don't know," Qiu Bai shook his head, "I don't know what's in there." No one could enter except the Archon, the Commander-in-Chief of the Army, and the Commander of the Twelve Spirit Generals, and no one could know what was inside. I only know that there is one of the greatest secrets known to all mankind in the entire Cangling Continent. ”

Ye Hengyuan didn't ask any more, raised his head, and looked up at the pointed top floor of the Tianling Pavilion Tower. From the outside, the space on the top floor was not very large, at most it was the size of an attic or a storage room on a small two-story building in Qingyan Town. It has no real windows, no real glass, just a few small holes that look like chisels have been carved out. Even if you look in from the outside, you can't see anything.

"Let's go," Qiu Bai waved his hand, "Let's go to my cultivation room first." I'm going to teach you ...... first."

"Squeak-"

The door at the base of the tower was pushed open. Lei Xi walked out of it. She changed into a lilac dress, which was not only elegant, but also accentuated her figure. She took a few steady steps forward and saluted to Qiu Bai.

"General Qiu. You're coming. Master is waiting inside. ”

"Anyone else?" asked Huber.

"Not yet," Lei Xi replied, "the other generals haven't arrived yet." ”

"Okay, I see," Qiu Bai waved his hand, "and we'll go to the council chamber in a moment." ”

"Yes. Lei Xi saluted Qiu Bai again and glanced at Ye Hengyuan behind him. There seemed to be something more in her eyes
