Chapter 14: The Bathhouse Interlude
Just when Ji An still wanted to feel the changes in the true qi in his body, the door was knocked on by Ye Yuqing again.
"Get up! It's time for breakfast! Ye Yuqing shouted outside the door. Ji An hurriedly got up and opened the door.
Ye Yuqing seemed to smell something, and hurriedly covered her nose, a little disgusted: "Why does your body smell so big?" ”
Only then did Ji An realize that he was already sweating profusely because of the reason for refining the relics last night.
Ji An replied hesitantly: "I was too tired from practicing yesterday, and I sweated a lot. ”
Ye Yuqing didn't ask again, but just asked Ji An to go to the bathhouse with Ouyang Youche to wash after breakfast.
The two went downstairs, and Ouyang Youche had bought breakfast and had been waiting for a long time. As soon as they met, Ouyang smelled the smell of sweat.
Ouyang Youche hurriedly covered his nose: "What kind of demon method is this, why is it so stinky?" ”
Ji An was a little embarrassed: "This is the taste of men!" ”
Then Ye Yuqing and Ouyang Youche said a few words, Ouyang didn't tease Ji An anymore, and threw breakfast to the two: "Brother Ji An, come with me, let's go to the bathhouse while eating." ”
The two of them hurried up, and after a while, they came to a bathhouse of decent size.
Ji An couldn't wait and rushed into the pool. Ouyang Youche settled the account and entered the pool unhurriedly.
Ouyang Youche looked comfortable: "Brother Ji An, this bathhouse is not ordinary, the water in this pool is all filtered potions that have entered the herbs. ”
Ji An stopped scrubbing his body: "We're not sick, why do we need to wash the potion?" ”
Ouyang Youche explained, "This potion helps cultivators consolidate their true qi and strengthen their bones. Then he closed his eyes and showed it in front of Ji An.
Ji An learned Ouyang Youche's movements, and also used his true qi to feel the potion in this pool. As soon as she started, Ji An felt that something was burrowing into her bones and nourishing her body.
This feeling became more and more obvious, but after a while it faded. At this time, Ouyang had already opened his eyes: "It's almost okay, Brother Ji An's potion is so efficient." ”
Ji An also slowly opened his eyes at this moment, and estimated in his heart: Although the effect is average, it is still somewhat helpful to consolidate himself who has just unlocked the first seal of the Golden Buddha, especially the bones on his body are moisturized by this.
After a while, the two changed their clothes and walked out of the bathhouse. Ji An also felt the changes in his body again, and did not notice the oncoming person.
Ji An bumped into the man like this, and the man touched his forehead with an unhappy face: "Which one doesn't have long eyes?" ”
Ji An came back to his senses and quickly apologized.
However, the man, who did not seem to be a reasonable master, still did not give up: "Where are you a hillbilly?" Know who I am? ”
Ji An knew that he was at a loss, so he didn't talk. Seeing that Ji An didn't speak, the man became more and more arrogant: "Master, I am a descendant disciple of the Dragon Clan, and there are really some guys who don't know the height of the sky and the earth in the past few days." ”
Ouyang Youche heard the ridicule, and was a little angry, and was about to speak.
Ji An stopped him: "I can handle this kind of trivial matter myself." ”
At this time, the dragon disciple was still chattering. Ji An was a little impatient again, this person was full of descendants, and he looked down on people with no background like him.
Ji An stepped forward and theorized: "Since you claim to be a descendant of the Dragon Clan, do you think you have some ability?" ”
Dragon Clan: "Of course! ”
Ji An had a wishful thinking in his heart: "Since you are so confident in yourself, why don't we make a bet." ”
The dragon clan disciple looked disdainful: "It's up to you? What can be the bet? ”
Ji An: "Just bet on a meal, I'll have a competition with you, if you lose, you invite me to a meal, and if I lose, I invite you to eat." ”
The children of the dragon clan looked disdainful: "The hillbilly is really a hillbilly, the first time I heard that someone tried to take a meal as a bet." ”
Ji An deliberately learned to look like he was underwhelming: "You shouldn't be afraid, right?" ”
The children of the dragon clan were enraged: "Bet on it, just let you, a hillbilly, see what a gap is!" ”
Ouyang Youche held back a smile on the side: This kid has a lot of eyes. If that dragon clan disciple knew, Ji An's appetite would definitely regret it, and even if Brother Ji An lost, he would not lose a meal, after all, the price of finding a dragon clan disciple as a sparring partner is not low.
Ji An looked smug and asked unhurriedly, "Where is there a place to compete around here?" You can't try it in this bathhouse, can you? ”
The dragon kid looked disgusted: "A hillbilly is a hillbilly, come with me." ”
The two of them followed to a dojo, which was one of the most prestigious dojos of the Dragon Clan.
After Ji An and the others inquired, they learned some news, the so-called dojo is a place specially provided for people who practice martial arts to practice dueling.
And this Hundred Families Dojo is the largest one among the dragon clans. The reason why it is called the Hundred Families Dojo is because most of the guests it accepts are foreign disciples.
Not long after the three of them came, an old man came to ask him: "I don't know what kind of family it is, please register and settle the bill." ”
Ji An looked puzzled: "What checkout?" ”
The old man didn't react a little: "It's just a competition or cultivation, and the venue fee that the dojo needs to pay." ”
Ji An was a little weak-hearted: "I have to pay for the competition!" Whoever is coming, can you also count this venue fee in the bet of the competition? ”
The children of the dragon clan did not speak, and walked to the old man: "Dragon clan, Ao Dongqin." Just remember my name. ”
The old man was a little surprised, he didn't expect it to be a child of his own clan.
Ao Dongqin chose 100 dojos as the test location, but he actually had his own selfishness. On the one hand, it is to teach a lesson, this kid who doesn't know the height of the sky, and on the other hand, he wants to deter the foreign children and let them see the power of the dragon clan.
Soon, the three of them came to an arena, and the news of the dragon clan's competition with Ji An also spread. After all, the children of the dragon clan and the children of foreign countries have really only a handful of times to compete in the Hundred Daoist Pavilions.
Some young disciples from outside organizations came to watch, and even some disciples of the big clan also came!
Ouyang Youche didn't expect that a small competition would attract so many people. And this news naturally spread by the dojo shopkeepers.
This is done on the one hand to attract popularity and thus increase business, and on the other hand, the competition itself is open to onlookers, so that the spectators can learn from the combat experience.
Ouyang Youche wanted to laugh a little, if these people knew that the bet between the two was after a meal, what kind of expressions would they have?
The old man walked to the center of the arena: "Please come forward and report each other's age and name." ”
Ao Dongqin and Ji An came from both sides, and Ao Dongqin was the first to speak: "Ao Dongqin, seventeen years old. ”
Ji An followed and spoke: "Ji An, fifteen years old. ”
Many people in the audience recognized Ao Dongqin and discussed: "It's actually him?" I remember that he was a disciple of the Dragon Clan! ”
Some people also discussed: "What is that called An, who is it?" actually challenged the descendants of the Dragon Clan, and he was two years younger than Ao Dongqin! ”
