Chapter 123: Guest
One by one, the dishes were served, and Mark realized that he didn't even know any of them. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
"Wow-so much delicious!" Xie Yuxuan was already familiar with the way, and before Mark and Xie Ran could make a move, she grabbed a wriggling, earthworm-like thing with her hand and smashed it into her stomach like eating noodles, making Mark feel sick to her stomach for a while.
"You just look at it, and you look at me with such a disgusting expression, what are you doing? This thing is called long reed, you can eat it raw, although the taste is not very good, you can eat long reed can increase the degree of gasification, and people who eat it for the first time can directly increase the degree of gasification by 1%, this thing is not eaten by ordinary people!"
"1% vaporization!" Mark's eyes lit up, if that was the case, it was a good thing. After these months of cultivation, Mark felt that the degree of gasification had hardly improved since reaching 92%.
Using a special utensil, he put a long reed into his plate, Mark looked at it carefully, it was no different from an earthworm, he closed his eyes and stuffed it into his mouth, and he forcibly held back several retching times on the way.
The taste of the long reed in the mouth is very strange, it is not delicious, and it is not unpleasant by all. After eating it in his stomach, Mark immediately felt that his soul became warm and very comfortable, this thing can actually nourish his soul! Mark opened his eyes suddenly, looked at the long reeds on the plate, and suddenly felt that they were not so disgusting.
Xie Ran kept looking at Mark from the sidelines, and only after he opened his eyes did he say:
"This long reed is not an ordinary thing, it is a tribute called the Nine Shadows Small World. A long reed needs to devour a thousand souls to grow. There were many second- and third-level wizards in the Holy Tower who were connected to their otherworldly summoning altars, and each summoning required the price of one hundred to five hundred long reeds. And the price of a long reed in the Holy Tower is 10,000 magic stones. β
"So you can get a hundred to five million magic stones with one shot?" Mark's eyes immediately turned red.
"Yes, but the other world is full of dangers, and it is very likely that you will not be able to come back once it passes. So it's better to be cautious. β
Xie Ran said meaningfully, "And if you want to go to another world, you must also learn the lingua franca of the universe, but you have to learn this language sooner or later, so if you have the chance, you should learn it in advance!"
"I see, so we have an otherworldly summoning altar in our Holy Tower?" Mark asked.
"Yes, in the west of the Holy Tower, if you are interested, you can ask Yu Xuan to accompany you to have a look, but once you swear blood on the altar, you can't go back, the otherworldly creature has provided you with enough sacrifices, you must come. At that time, some dangers are unpredictable. β
Mark nodded, indeed.
"Okay, let's not talk about this for now, you see, this dish is called canna, peel off the outer skin, inside is a beauty, eating it can increase a person's potential. There is also this, called Tan Hu meat, which is a specialty of the Ten Thousand Beasts Continent, eating this kind of meat can enhance the strength of the wizard's body, if you eat it regularly, even if you are promoted to a second-level wizard, you can ensure that the body is basically not deformed without any other means. And this ......"
Xie Ran patiently introduced these dishes to Mark one by one, and Mark found that although these dishes were strange, none of them did not play an important role in the cultivation of wizards, and he couldn't help but be moved in his heart. These things are not ordinary things, even if it is Li Wei, Mark estimates that he can only encounter one or two occasionally, which is very remarkable.
With Yu Xuan's encouragement, Mark tried every dish, and the most unforgettable thing for him was the canna, Mark was stunned after the banana was opened, and inside was a real naked beauty, but it was a little smaller.
After Yu Xuan persuaded and persuaded again, Mark stuffed his heart into his mouth fiercely. A high-pitched scream rang out, and Mark felt the whole canna turn into a warm current into his stomach. As for how much his potential has improved, he doesn't know.
After drinking and eating, Xie Ran let people serve three cups of tea, and then his expression began to become a little serious.
"Mark, first of all, for the good of the two of you, the two of you should try not to meet in the future. Now use it as an experiment to prevaricate, it was only a few months, and in the future, how long can it be covered? A year or ten years? The years of a wizard are incomparably long, once discovered, not only will it be difficult for Yu Xuan to be a person in the future, as for you, I guarantee that you will have no place to stand in the Ice Plain Holy Tower!"
Xie Ran's voice echoed in the air, and Mark and Xie Yuxuan glanced at each other, unable to speak anymore, and both of them understood that Xie Ran was right.
"Do you know how many people are pursuing Yu Xuan now? Yu Xuan must not have told you, right? I won't talk about the rest, I'll just say something that is extremely tough in terms of strength and background. β
"First of all, Song Cheng, the descendant of Song Wanjian, the Holy Lord of the Northern Snow Holy Tower, has reached the first level of crystallization at the age of 65, and is now cultivating gold technology in my Ice Plain Holy Tower. Jolsi, descendant of Leo, the vice-lord of Santa Tower. Marty, the true peerless genius of Santa Tower, was promoted to an official wizard at the age of 28, and now at the age of 45, it is said that he has liquefied 18%, and has already worshiped the fourth-level wizard Blood Roar as a teacher. β
"In addition, there is another one who is crazy to the point of perversion for Yu Xuan, called Guan Ming, the descendant of Guan Zitong, the deputy saint master of the Malicious Holy Tower, the first heir of the Guan family, 58 years old, a first-level crystallization wizard, who came from the Malicious Holy Tower specifically for Yu Xuan. It can be said that infatuation is to the extreme. β
Speaking of this, Xie Ran paused, looked at Mark with a shocked face, and said: "There are some families or families that are good, and I won't talk about those with weak talents, and I can probably talk about it all day." Not to mention, there are several of my apprentices who are interested in Yu Xuan, right, Yu Xuan?"
"Hehe-hey-father, I haven't even paid attention to them!" Xie Yuxuan showed an ugly expression on his face, but his eyes were dodgy and he didn't dare to look at Mark.
Mark thought about it carefully, if the true relationship between himself and Yuxuan was exposed, it would be difficult to settle the few selves that Xie Ran said just now, and if he added the forces behind them, he would be terrified when he thought about it. Looking up, seeing that Xie Ran still wanted to say something, he hurriedly said:
"Uncle, you said all this for the sake of me and Yu Xuan, I understand!
"Yes, father, you don't know, Mark and I canβin short, we can grow faster when we cultivate together!" Xie Yuxuan also interjected beside him.
Hearing Xie Yuxuan's words, the corners of Mark's mouth twitched, he just wanted to say that he would miss it very much, miss it very much, where was what Xie Yuxuan said, and was about to open his mouth to correct it, Xie Ran's slightly manic voice came:
"Of course I know about double cultivation! Every time you come back in the past few months, the yin qi in your body has decreased significantly, but your cultivation has risen rapidly, do you think I'm a fool?! Your Taiyin body is the most suitable physique for double cultivation! When I was thankful for double cultivation, your grandfather's grandfather's grandfather's grandfather's ancestors hadn't been born yet!"
"But father, you are my father!Where is my grandfather's grandfather's grandfather now?" Xie Yuxuan said with a grin.
"I-I-I'm talking about Mark!" Xie Ran glared at Mark at this, and then wondered:
"I'm a little strange, originally the Taiyin body is only beneficial to the man, and the less Yin Qi in the woman's body, the slower the cultivation speed will be. And although Yu Xuan's Yin Qi has decreased, his cultivation has not improved slowly. It's really confusing. β
"That's becauseβ" Xie Yuxuan hurriedly explained.
"Okay! I don't need to explain, if I hadn't seen your cultivation improve so quickly, would you think I would have let you go? If Mark just used you as a tool to speed up your cultivation, I wouldn't have seen him! I just sent someone to catch you and extract your soul and refine it with the Hellfire for a thousand years!"
Mark couldn't help but shudder when he heard this, needless to say, this kind of torture will definitely make people unable to survive and die. Even Xie Yuxuan looked at Mark in fear after hearing this.
The atmosphere at the scene was a little awkward, and finally Xie Ran sighed and said:
"Well, you're allowed to see each other once every ten years, but you're not allowed to do anything you shouldn't do when you meet!
Speaking of this, Xie Ran looked at Mark and said earnestly: "There is no shortcut to the improvement of cultivation, if you only know how to take shortcuts all day long, then your achievements will be limited to this." Maybe you don't seem to feel anything now, but later you will understand that every shortcut you take now will have one more hurdle in the future. If you want to go to a higher position, you have to keep your feet on the ground!"
Hearing Xie Ran's words, Mark and Xie Yuxuan glanced at each other and nodded separately.
"Mark, although my daughter is already considered your person for the time being, but the aspect between wizards is very chaotic, as long as it is not officially married, there is no betrayal, I know what I mean, right?"
"Well, you mean that as long as I don't marry Yuxuan home, she can change her partner at any time. β
"Senior brother, I will definitely not like anyone else except you!" Xie Yuxuan hurriedly swore beside him.
"Don't intervene yet!" Xie Ran glared at his daughter, then looked at Mark and said:
"Two premises, first, the top three in the Elite Genius Selection Competition of the Holy Martial Continent held more than sixty years later, and second, the poison on my body has been cured. In that case, I can consider giving you a chance!"
"It'sβ" Mark frowned.
"What's the matter, don't have confidence in yourself?" Xie Ran smiled.
Mark smiled bitterly: "I have confidence in the tryouts, but if you want to solve the poison on your body, I'm afraid I won't be able to do it in a short time." β
"The toxin has been suppressed by me, as long as it is stable for a hundred years, I can force out a drop of essence blood, when the time comes, what are the four poisons, won't you be able to configure the corresponding antidote?" Xie Ran asked suspiciously.
"The truth is this, but these four poisons are different from the first three. The greater effect of the first three poisons is only to lubricate and neutralize, although the toxicity is large, it is easier to detoxify, so I can barely configure the secondary agent to remove it. β
"But the last four poisons are very domineering, specifically fighting for the soul, and at least a fourth-level potion is required to work, if so, I must be promoted to at least a fourth-level wizard to be able to configure it. After all, there is already an essential difference between a fourth-level elixir and a third-level elixir. β
"Fourth-level wizard!" Xie Ran narrowed his eyes, "The fastest wizard in the Ice Plains Holy Tower to reach level four is my disciple Leo, and he spent eight hundred and fifty years!"
"I don't think it should take me that long. Mark said confidently, he had all kinds of potions to assist, he had the array of Dao Jade to continuously improve his qualifications, and he had a soul power transformation rune array, and it really didn't take so long.
"Okay, then I'll wait another eight hundred and fifty years! It's just a boy, I don't know if you can wait eight hundred and fifty years to marry my daughter, hahaha-" Xie Ran suddenly laughed loudly.
Mark glanced at Xie Yuxuan unnaturally, Xie Yuxuan's face was flushed, and he lowered his head wriggled and didn't dare to look at him.
