Chapter 40: Two Old Men
Qiu Hua didn't think that his strength was worse than Li Xiaohei, he just underestimated his opponent's mistakes. She was resentful, but helpless. Eventually, she withdrew her sword. Said coldly: "Senior Brother Li Xiaohei, in two months, in the Moon Tower, we will fight again!"
Li Xiaohei smiled: "It's better not to do it, I can't admit defeat, you won." ”
There is no sincerity in these words, absolutely no one will believe it, Qiuhua didn't say much, turned around and left angrily.
Li Xiaohei smiled very kindly and didn't say much.
Everyone finally dispersed, and Tutor Yu Ruohong finally 'just happened' to return, and she asked Li Xiaohei with concern: "Xiaohei, how are the senior brothers and sisters?"
Li Xiaohei replied with a smile: "The unexpected enthusiasm, although it surprised me a little, but it's okay." ”
In fact, Yu Ruohong did not leave at all, and this matter was also under her instructions. She heard of Li Xiaohei's genius name, but her heart was full of doubts, so she was about to use the methods of these disciples to force Li Xiaohei to reveal his limits.
But what she didn't expect was that after the wheel battle, Li Xiaohei not only showed no signs of reluctance, but won the battle in a very clean and neat way.
Could it be that this kid is really a genius among geniuses?
Yu Ruohong arranged a quiet courtyard for Li Xiaohei, and there should have been two senior brothers who should have practiced here. However, those two senior brothers had just been promoted to the Intermediate Court not long ago, so for the time being, there was only Li Xiaohei left here.
All kinds of equipment for winemaking were placed here, and Li Xiaohei could be regarded as settling down. However, there was a problem, and the red oats he used to make the Five Elements Wine were running out.
Wuxing liquor, also known as Wuliangye, is a liquor made from rare grains of different species. Because Li Xiaohei and Xiaohong are both consuming the Five Elements Fire Wine, the red oats are also consumed extremely quickly. So Li Xiaohei left the outer courtyard and came to the bazaar, where he needed to buy some red oats.
The red oats themselves are not a specialty of Dongyuan, but come from the southern barbarian hot state, and the wheat grains are red like fire, with innate fire attributes. Winemakers also generally use red oats as an adjunct to make wine. However, because the fire attribute of red oats is not high, winemakers generally only use it as an introduction, adding more rare elixirs to the wine to meet the requirements of fire attributes.
There are two kinds of bazaars at the Moon Gate, one for civilians and one for monks. Although red oats are only grain, they are generally only bought by winemakers, so Li Xiaohei went to the monk's market.
At the outskirts of the bazaar is a simple stall selling ordinary things. Such as slightly rare iron ore, spar, spirit fruit and the like. Usually the casual cultivators who wander the rivers and lakes will get what they get here to sell, so if you are lucky, you can find some treasures here.
Red oats, though not precious, do not appear here.
In the middle of the bazaar there are some shops that specialize in grain, and there will be red oats here. Because it is not the first time to buy it, Li Xiaohei is also familiar with the road. This time, though, the store seems to be in some trouble.
The two old men, each with a group of people, stood at the door of the grain store, their momentum was tense.
An old man with white hair and a gray cloth robe said, "Ma Tianyuan, you old thing is still embarrassed to compete with me for red oats? Last time, you made a fire-attribute flame burning wine, but the sage criticized it and said that talking is better than nothing! Where did you get the courage to fight with me?"
The other old man was bald, with a **** shoulder, revealing his strong arms, and he shouted at the top of his voice: "Xia Sanshi, what about the lava brew that you old thing made that time? Isn't it also said by the sage that the taste is weak?
These two old men Li Xiaohei knew each other, Ma Tianyuan and Xia Sanshi, and the two of them basically represented the top level of winemaking in the sphere of influence of the Moon Gate. The liquor they brew can make the monks of the saint cultivation feel close to the innate realm, so they can be defined as a saint-level brewing master. It's just that these two brewmasters have a bad relationship with each other, and their subordinates are fighting
Li Xiaohei squeezed in from the crowd on the side and found the shopkeeper who was smiling bitterly, and the boss greeted Li Xiaohei and let him in.
When I entered the store, I found that the ground was sprinkled with food, all kinds of food, and some money was thrown on the counter.
"Shopkeeper, aren't there enough red oats?" asked Li Xiaohei.
"Hey, the trade road to the south has not been quiet recently, and recently a demon king came out of the south, and its hill just blocked the trade road. Many businessmen were intercepted and had to be forced to take a detour. I heard that the disciples of the inner courtyard of the Zhuyue Gate have already been dispatched to encircle and suppress, but at this time and a half, everything that we have to pass through the Southern Trade Road will be a little in short supply. ”
The owner of the showcase is a short and fat man, with a kind smile and his eyes are staring outside, but it seems that he should not be surprised by this kind of thing, so he doesn't seem to care too much.
That is to say, whether you can buy red oats depends on your own ability?
The source of the dispute between the two men, the bag of red oats, was at the feet of the two of them, and the monks around them seemed to have been eager to fight all along.
Li Xiaohei thought about it, walked out of the store, came to the middle of the two old men, raised his head, and looked at the two of them with a kind face.
Ma Tianyuan glanced down at Li Xiaohei, and then at Xia Sanshi opposite, and said, "What, old thing, if you don't feel strong enough, you use children to make me soft-hearted?"
Xia Sanshi scolded with a smile: "Ma Tianyuan, you shameless old thing, do you still use others to help you if you want to beat you?"
Li Xiaohei looked at the two old men arguing there, he didn't speak, just smiled, raised his hand to lift the bag of red oats on the ground, put it on his shoulder, and turned around and walked towards the store.
The two old men who were arguing stopped, they stared at Li Xiaohei walking towards the store step by step, they couldn't believe that there was still someone who dared to grab something in front of them!
At this time, the two monks behind Ma Tianyuan jumped out, and the two of them did not cultivate highly, not even half a hundred spirit springs. As the followers of well-known brewing masters, in fact, they don't need to have too high cultivation, because they are basically just doing chores. After all, as a well-known brewing master, Ma Tianyuan is deeply trusted by the saints, as long as they are in this moon-by-month gate, no one dares to argue with them.
At this time, in the face of a ten-year-old child, the two were even more confident, they blocked Li Xiaohei's way, and one of them said: "Stinky boy, can you, dare to steal in public?"
Li Xiaohei looked up at the man, smiled shyly, and said, "This uncle, this bag of red oats, but yours?"
The man clasped his hands to his chest and said as a matter of course: "Then it needs to be said!
Li Xiaohei then asked, "But you don't seem to have given money?"
The man sneered and said, "The red oats that Master Ma Tianyuan wants from our family, even if we don't give money, is this boss still afraid that we won't be able to repay our debts?"
The owner of the grain store not far away naturally said that he didn't dare to say again.
On the other side, two people behind Xia Sanshi also stood up and said, "What I said, with our Master Xia Sanshi here, there are still others who dare to call themselves masters? Boy, don't listen to their nonsense, hurry up and give me that red oat!"
If it was possible, in fact, Li Xiaohei really didn't bother to get involved in these things, but not having red oats would delay his cultivation progress, so he had to stand up.
Li Xiaohei hid the bag of grain behind him and said with a smile: "It's strange to me, you all say it's yours, who should I listen to?"
"Listen to me!" one of Ma Tianyuan's men rushed over, trying to snatch the red oats.
"Fart, of course listen to me!" On the other side, Xia Sanshi's subordinates also rushed up.
Li Xiaohei quickly retreated, and the two collided together.
"Do it?
"Fuck you!
"Beat him!"
"Brothers, let's go!"
The scene suddenly became chaotic, and the people around the two masters immediately rushed forward. But Li Xiaohei had already gotten into the grain store, paid the money, settled the bill, and left.
