The relationship between Meng Li and Li Yan is a little strange.

When we meet, we are both friends and not friends. They hadn't been in contact with each other since they came to Boundary Water City.

However, Liu Fengliu, who had a conflict on the cruise ship at the beginning, gave him a different view after contact.

The Liu and Li families behind Liu Fengliu and Li Yan are the two most competitive businesses in Jieshui City.

The grievances are not small.

Although Meng Li is now close to the Liu family, he has not reached the point of interfering in the grievances of the two families.

If Li Yan came to him because of this, he would only say a word of unfounded worry.

Steward Wang smiled: "Our young lady just hopes to be friends with Shaoxia, and has no other meaning." ”

Meng Li said: "Okay, I understand what Miss Li means, you go back and tell her, I won't interfere in the affairs of the Li family and the Liu family, you don't have to embarrass her, and you don't have to worry." ”

Hearing Meng Li say this, Steward Wang couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Miss is right, this Meng Li is a slippery head.

Steward Wang's intention to come this time is very clear, that is, to win over Meng Li, in the martial arts assessment, everyone saw Meng Li's potential, such a big help, if it misses, is it not a pity?

"Steward Wang, it's not too early, I still have something to do, so I won't invite you to dinner. ”

Meng Li didn't want to waste time, so he simply ordered the eviction of customers.

Steward Wang understood Meng Li and knew that even if he continued to consume it, it would be useless, so he had to say: "Where, it is me who delayed the time of Shaoxia, and Wang will retire." ”

After Steward Wang left, Wang Ergou walked over from the front.

"What's the matter with him?"

"What do you think?" Meng Li asked rhetorically.

Wang Ergou said disapprerovitically: "Woo!"

"That's right. ”

"Hehe!" Wang Ergou sneered: "The Li family is worthy of being a businessman, waiting for the price to sell, in the martial arts assessment, you killed Han Fei with one sword, they saw your value, so they couldn't help it." ”

"Aren't they afraid of offending the Seven Star Sect?"

Wang Ergou hesitated: "The seven factions are in the same spirit, but they are restraining each other, and they don't dare to make enemies easily. However, the Li family is indeed in a bit of a hurry to reach out to you at this time, maybe they have something to do and need to borrow your strength!"

Meng Li said in a deep voice: "This Li family is too utilitarian and makes people very uncomfortable, so it's better for us to have less contact in the future." ”

Wang Ergou laughed and said, "If you let Liu Fengliu hear this, he will be happy." ”

Meng Li smiled slightly, embarrassed.

When we met for the first time, this arrogant and domineering Liu Dashao also had a lot of conflicts with him, but after contact these days, he had a different view.

Although Liu Fengliu has some temper of the eldest young master, he has a true temperament, and he gets along more well.

In contrast, Miss Li, who is good at calculation, is a little unsatisfactory.

After dinner, Meng Li returned to the house alone and began to make Xingqi Pill.

According to the difficulty of making and the content of spiritual energy, the spiritual food is divided into three classes.

It is divided into low-grade spiritual food, medium spiritual food, and high-level spiritual food.

Xingqi Pill is one of the most common of the low-grade spiritual foods, and the process of making it is very simple.

The spiritual recipes passed on by the people of the Hundred Channels are what he has learned all his life, and every recipe on it is refined, coupled with the perfection of the jade plate, the production process of the Xingqi Pill is almost perfect.

As long as you follow the steps above, success is the inevitable result.

As one of the three major systems, some people say that spiritual food is difficult to make.

The reason why it is difficult to make is because there will be flaws in the production process.

Because it had been decided in advance to make the Xingqi Pill, the tools for making spiritual food had already been prepared.

As we all know, spiritual food is divided into medicine and cooking, and according to the different production methods, the tools used will also be different, which are roughly divided into two categories.

Xingqi Pill is a medicinal spiritual food, mainly based on furnaces.

The medicine furnace prepared by Meng Li is a small medicine stove the size of a winter melon, which can be used for grinding and baking medicines.

Anyone who has studied spiritual food knows that these two steps are actually the most critical steps in the preparation of spiritual food.

It was late at night, and the light in the room was a little dim.

Meng Li lit the oil lamp, and with the help of the light, took out the raw materials that had been prepared before, and then took out the most important spirit fish grass.

Since it is a medicinal spiritual food, medicinal herbs and spiritual herbs are indispensable. Using the medicinal power of mutual restraint to stimulate the power in the spirit grass is the key to spiritual food.

Processing of raw materials, blending, baking.

In the following time, Meng Li followed the steps on the recipe and meticulously made the Xingqi Pill.

After about half an hour of baking, a layer of medicinal residue with spiritual power began to take shape at the bottom of the furnace.

According to the details emphasized on the recipe, Meng Li baked for another quarter of an hour before extinguishing the fire in the brazier.

Regardless of the burning of the medicine stove, he shoveled out the medicine residue from the bottom of the furnace with a medicine shovel, and directly used his hands to rub out one pill after another.

Looking at the three brown pills held in his palm, Meng Li said in surprise: "It seems that I am lucky, the first time I refined, I came out with three Qi Pills!"

Spiritual food, especially medicinal spiritual food, should pay attention to the success rate.

According to the records of the people of the Hundred Channels, a Qi Pill can be used for up to five Qi Pills.

And that's only the limit state, even if it's a hundred channel human deities, they can only produce four pills at most.

The first time he refined it, he was able to form three pills, which was already very powerful.

"Am I still a spiritual food genius?"

Meng Li smiled, put the Xingqi Pill into the bottle prepared in advance, and was about to seal it, when he suddenly thought of something, and poured out another one.

"Let's try it first!"

Pinching the pill in his hand, Meng Li walked out of the room.

In the courtyard, Bu Yu was practicing his sword, and his true qi was seriously depleted.

Seeing Miss Bu who was sweating profusely, Meng Li's eyes lit up and he hurriedly ran up.

"Busy?"

Bu Yu glanced at him coldly.

"If you fart, let it go!"

Meng Li grinned and said: "Look at you, you are also a young lady, how can you talk so rudely!"

"Hmph, I thank you for the reminder, if it's okay, hurry up and get out, don't delay Miss Ben's sword practice. ”

Gotcha, hot face sticks a cold ass.

Meng Li touched his nose and sneered: "I just got a good thing, don't I come to share it with you!"

Bu Yu ignored him and continued to practice his sword.

Seeing that the other party was indifferent, Meng Li immediately used a big killing weapon.

"If you're not interested, I'll have to be eaten!"

Hearing about eating, Bu Yu's eyes lit up.

"Is it delicious?"

The girl frowned slightly, living up to the coldness.

"Maybe! Why don't you try?"

Meng Li shrugged his shoulders and handed the pill over.

"You can eat this stuff too?"

Although the girl hesitated, she still showed a very interested expression.

As long as it was something to eat, she was curious.

"Xingqi Pill, low-grade spiritual food. ”

"This is spiritual food?" Bu Yu pinched the pill into his hand, put it under his nose and sniffed it.

There's a faint vanilla flavor that isn't bad!

In Meng Li's expectant eyes, the girl put the pill in her mouth.

"How?"

Bu Yu tasted it for a while, frowned and said, "The taste is average, a little bitter!"

"My eldest lady, who asked you how it tasted, and how did it work?"

"The effect is okay, my true qi has been restored!"

She doesn't care about the effect of spiritual food, what she cares about is the taste of spiritual food.

I heard that some of the cooked spiritual food is extremely delicious, and I don't know when I will be able to eat it.

After Bu Yu's test, the effect of the Xingqi Pill was good, and the true qi recovered in a short period of time was more than that of a five-forging martial artist.

It is roughly equivalent to the total amount of true qi of a six-forging martial artist.

And in the next hour, the medicinal effect in the Xingqi Pill can stimulate the meridians and double the speed of the true qi.

The so-called Xingqi is to make the qi run vigorously, which is also the preciousness of the Xingqi Dan.

If you take it for a long time, it is very good for cultivation.

Sensing this situation, Meng Li couldn't help but have the idea of using the Xingqi Pill to assist in cultivation.

It's just that this thought just rose, and he suppressed it again.

Using spiritual food to assist in cultivation is an extremely luxurious cultivation method that is extremely costly.

For example, this line of Qi Pill, when launched into the market, can be sold for hundreds of taels of silver.

With a resource of one hundred taels, in exchange for an hour's true qi improvement, it is not cheap no matter how you look at it.

Of course, this is not the main reason why Meng Li gave up on this idea.

Xingqi Pill was refined by him himself, and the cost of each pill was only four or five taels.

As long as the Spirit Fish Grass in his hand is sufficient, he can be supported all the time.

The real reason for Meng Li to give up was the drawbacks of the drug enhancement, if it damaged his martial arts foundation, it would be more than worth the loss.

You must know that Meng Li's original intention of refining the Xingqi Pill was to solve the dilemma of insufficient true qi, so as to deal with the unexpected situation that might arise at any time when the martial arts hall opened five days later.

That's right, the opening time of Meng Li's martial arts hall has now been determined, just five days later, and the name of this martial arts hall is set by him as the Wooden Sword Martial Arts Hall.

Set a small goal for himself for five days, Meng Li returned to the room and continued to struggle!

And in the past five days, the news that a martial arts gym is about to open in Bei'anfang has spread in Beicheng District.

For this news, the most concerned is naturally the local martial arts hall.

There are a total of 11 martial arts halls in the northern urban area of Jieshui City, except for Xiao Zicong's Xiao Martial Arts Hall, the remaining ten martial arts halls are all very concerned about this.

Peers are enemies!

The more martial arts halls there are in Jieshui City, the more fierce the competition becomes.

In the four major urban areas, in terms of resources and tasks, the martial arts hall in Beicheng District could not compete with the other three districts, and now it is even more pressure to open another martial arts hall.

When Xiao Zicong Martial Arts Hall opened, it already made everyone feel pressure, and it was also a loss for Xiao Zicong's Martial Arts Hall to open high and go low, which made other martial arts halls reluctantly accept.

Now, there is another martial arts gym to open in Bei'anfang, how can people not worry?

After inquiring, it was found that the owner of the museum was a teenager named Meng Li. This made everyone who had heard of the martial arts assessment very speechless.

In the previous martial arts assessment, the one who killed Han Fei with one sword?

How long did it take to get the martial arts order, and then the martial arts hall was opened?

Also a restless person!

Then there was more news that Meng Li was arrogant and didn't take the martial arts hall in Beicheng in his eyes at all.

All of a sudden, the Beicheng Martial Arts Hall was excited!

Inside the Tenryu Teahouse.

Yuan Yuting looked at Yan Dilong, who was full of confidence on the other side, and laughed heartily.

"Brother Yan, you borrowed a knife to kill people with this trick, you used it really beautifully!"

"Brother Yuan's words are serious!" Yan Dilong took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "I'm also doing this conveniently, isn't that Meng Li going to open a martial arts gym?

Yuan Yuting sneered: "Meng Li is indeed a little ignorant of the height of the sky, and now the martial arts halls in Jieshui City have long been saturated, let's just say that these martial arts halls in Beicheng District, which one of them is not an enemy when they see each other, if it weren't for the Tianhua Martial Arts Pavilion, it would have been messed up a long time ago!"

Yan Dilong smiled and said, "His martial arts hall will officially open tomorrow, I want to see how he copes." ”

"If he is driven out of Boundary Water City by those martial arts halls, it will naturally be the best thing, and it will save us trouble. ”

Yuan Yuting said, suddenly remembered something again, and asked, "By the way, how did the person who attacked us last time check?"

When he mentioned the incident last time, Yan Dilong was depressed, and said with a sinking face: "It's still investigating, and there is no news at all." ”

The black-clothed swordsman, who is this person?

Yuan Yuting said in a deep voice: "Check, you must check for me, this person dares to make a move on me, I must not let it go!"

Bei'an Fang, Mon Mansion Guest Room.

"I don't take the martial arts hall in Beicheng seriously?"

Meng Li pointed to himself with one hand and looked at Wang Ergou, who had just returned from inquiring about news from outside, with a shocked expression on his face.

What is this?

He is a legitimate and good citizen, and he opened a martial arts gym, just to increase some influence, why didn't he take other martial arts gyms seriously?

"Have you found out where the news came from?"

Wang Ergou said with a strange expression: "I found it, it's the Earth Dragon Gang!"

"It's them again?" Meng Li's eyes widened, and he said coldly: "It seems that I didn't inquire about them last time, and it's only been a few days, and it's been a few days, and it's been a fuss again?"

Wang Ergou cried and laughed: "It hurts, but I don't know why it hurts." I just got a piece of news that the people of the Earth Dragon Gang have been checking the information of sword masters for the past few days. It seems that Yan Dilong and Yuan Yuting have been completely misled by you. ”

Thinking of that day, Meng Li laughed.

"The martial arts hall will open tomorrow, have all the preparations been completed?"

Wang Ergou smiled bitterly: "You don't have to worry about the preparations, but those who come uninvited should let you worry more." ”

Meng Li raised his eyebrows and said, "You mean these martial arts halls in Beicheng?"

"Who else but them, they're all waiting to kick us in the ass!"

Meng Li said indifferently: "They want to kick the gym, just let them come, since we want to open a martial arts gym, we can't be timid." ”

"Do you really think so?" Wang Ergou glanced at him.

"What if I don't think so?"

Meng Li smiled bitterly.

Opening the martial arts hall is to grab food, and in the fiercely competitive Jieshui City, if you don't have enough strength, you will be kicked out sooner or later.

Meng Li knows this.

"What is the strength of our martial arts hall in Beicheng, you can tell me. ”

Hearing Meng Li's inquiry, Wang Ergou said with a serious expression: "Now there are eleven martial arts halls in Jieshui City, except for Xiao Zicong's Xiao Martial Arts Gym, we must be careful of other martial arts halls, among which Tianhua Martial Arts Hall is the strongest, with nearly 100 apprentices, I heard that the owner of the hall is an eight-forging martial artist, and he has quite a prestige in Jieshui City." ”

Hearing this, Meng Li understood a little.

The strongest martial artist recognized by Jieshui City is Xue Bawu, the commander of the school captain, who has forged his true qi and has strong fists.

Other than that, there are no more nine forgings.

Xue Bawu is a member of the three grades of the imperial court and does not involve in the rivers and lakes.

In other words, the top combat power in Jieshui City is the Eight Forging Martial Artists.

The Tianhua Martial Arts Hall has eight forging martial artists, no wonder it will be the first martial arts hall in Beicheng.

"This Tianhua Martial Arts Pavilion, you need to pay attention to it. ”

Eight forging martial artists, Meng Li is not an opponent yet.

Then he asked, "In addition, are there any martial arts halls worth paying attention to?"

Wang Ergou shook his head. "No, there are only a handful of Eight Forging Martial Artists in Jieshui City. In Beicheng, except for the Tianhua Martial Arts Pavilion, the strongest of the other martial arts halls is only Seven Forgings. ”

"That's it!"

Meng Li's face softened a lot.

The seven forgings in the martial arts hall and the seven forgings in the sect are two different concepts.

The resources of the sect are good, and the exercises are stronger, which is stronger than that of the scattered martial artists.

Since Meng Li was able to defeat Han Fei, the Seven Forgings in the Martial Arts Hall were naturally not his opponents.

Of course, the premise is that there are no hidden masters like Xiao Zicong in these martial arts halls.

Time flies quickly, and in a blink of an eye, it is the day when the martial arts hall opens, and on this day, the Mengjia noodle restaurant is closed.

In the fourteenth year of Chongwu, on the ninth day of May, it should be opened.

The backyard of Mengfu has now been renewed.

The huge courtyard has been transformed into a martial arts field that can accommodate dozens of people.

Facing the martial arts field is a gate that has been reopened.

On the plaque of the gate, there are four large gilded characters.

Wooden Sword Martial Arts Hall!

At this time, the gate is open, and the pedestrian flow outside the street is endless, and every time someone walks in front of the door, they can't help but take a look.

"When did we open another martial arts gym in Beicheng?"

A man walked past the door, saw the plaque, and stopped.

The companion next to him said with a smile: "It's new today, and when I passed by here yesterday, this plaque hadn't been hung yet." ”

"I really don't know how thick the sky is, if you want me to see, this martial arts hall is the same as the previous martial arts halls, and it will have to be closed if it can't be done today. ”

After saying that, he didn't leave, and he was ready to watch the show.

Not to mention other urban areas, just this northern urban area, there are many martial artists, but why are there only eleven martial arts halls in the six fang districts combined?

At the end of the day, it's a matter of resources.

Beicheng District, with limited resources, can't support too many martial arts halls.

Especially in recent years, the xenophobia situation among martial arts halls has become more and more serious. More than a dozen martial arts halls were opened one after another, but in the end, only the Xiao Martial Arts Hall survived.

Since you want to open a martial arts gym, you must be prepared to be kicked out at any time.

And the best time to be kicked out of the opening!

Outside the door of the Wooden Sword Martial Arts Hall, the crowd gathered more and more, and soon the street in front of the door was crowded.

When Meng Li saw this scene, he said to Wang Ergou: "Brother Wang, go outside to guide you, let everyone leave a passage, don't block our guests outside." ”

When he said the word "guest", his tone was heavier, and a sneer appeared on his face.

The opening of the Wooden Sword Martial Arts Gym, under the spread of the Earth Dragon Gang, has been in a uproar among the Beicheng Martial Arts Gym, and most of the people who will come here today are not well-intentioned. Not to mention the word guest.

Meng Li's meaning, how could Wang Ergou not know, nodded and walked out the door.

Today, whether it is for Meng Li or the others in the Wooden Sword Martial Arts Gym, it is an extremely important test, whether they can survive it or not will determine their future development.

When Wang Ergou went out to maintain order, all the other people in the courtyard stood still, waiting for the so-called guests in Meng Li's mouth.

Soon a group of warriors came at the end of the street.

When Wang Ergou saw these people, his expression changed, he ran to Meng Li's side, and said in a deep voice: "They are here!"

The martial arts halls in Beicheng seemed to have been agreed, and at the same time appeared in Bei'an Fang, they walked through the crowd and came to the martial arts hall with the gate open.

A young martial artist in his early twenties looked at the four-character plaque on the gate and sneered: "Wooden Sword Martial Dao? ”

Beside the young martial artist, a middle-aged martial artist who was nearly fifty years old laughed and said, "What the master of the Su Xiaoguan said is reasonable, a martial arts hall like this that doesn't know what to do, can't give him the opportunity to harm our Beicheng Martial Arts Hall." ”

"That's right!"

"That's right!"

The warriors who were suspected of being the owner of the hall all responded in unison.

A martial artist who was nearly forty years old took a step forward and said with a smile at the middle-aged martial artist: "Pavilion Master Shen's Songhe Martial Arts Pavilion is second to none in our northern city, and Pavilion Master Shen is even more one-body cultivation of seven forgings, the best of all of us, teach that Meng Li a lesson in a while, but it's all up to Pavilion Master Shen!"

Pavilion Master Shen laughed and said, "Don't worry, a yellow-mouthed child, Shen can make him kneel and beg for mercy with just one hand." ”

"But I heard that Meng Li once killed the Seven Martial Cultivators in the Martial Arts Assessment, should we be careful?"

In the crowd, a middle-aged man with a slightly chubby figure frowned.

When the martial arts assessment began, they were all carrying out the task of maintaining order outside the martial arts field, and the deeds of Meng Li's killing of Han Fei were only hearsay, and they did not see it with their own eyes.

The young pavilion owner surnamed Su snorted coldly and said, "Everyone is a person who practices martial arts, so they should know how big the gap between the five forgings and the seven forgings is. If you want me to see it, this Meng Li must be a sneak attack, if you talk about real strength, don't say that it is the master of the Shen Pavilion, even I can clean him up. ”

"Okay!" Shen Songhe's eyes lit up, and he looked at Su Bingzhang with extremely appreciative eyes.

"Since the owner of Su Xiaoguan has this courage, I am willing to give you this opportunity. ”

Su Bingzhang had already done this, and said with a proud smile: "Since this is the case, Su Mou will not give in!"

In the courtyard, Meng Li watched everyone walk into the martial arts hall, and his face did not change.

"Today's opening of the hall, the owners of the hall came from afar, Meng Li was far away, and he was offended. ”

Su Bingzhang sneered: "The surname is Meng, you should have guessed our intention, and you don't have to be hypocritical." If you want to open this martial arts hall, you can only pass our level first. ”

Meng Li said with a smile: "Today, my Wooden Sword Martial Arts Hall opens, if you come to cheer, I, Meng Li, not only welcome, but also give gifts, but if you come to kick the hall, then don't blame me for being polite." ”

"We're just going to see how you're welcome!"

Su Bingzhang stepped forward and met Meng Li's eyes.

Since the other party was so arrogant, Meng Li naturally would not leave a face, his eyes stared at Su Bingzhang, and he said coldly: "What, do you want to be the first to make a move?" ”

What?

Everyone looked at Meng Li and laughed.

Just one of your five forgings, no matter how bluffing you are, there should be a limit!

Do you really think that if you kill a Seven Forgings by luck, you will be able to be lawless?

"What a big man, surnamed Meng, what do you think you are? But just a five forging, even dare to open a martial arts hall. If you smash the signboard in front of everyone now and announce that you will no longer open a martial arts gym again, maybe I can spare you. ”

Su Bingzhang looked at Meng Li with his hands behind his back like a clown, he was extremely confident in his own strength, and firmly believed that as long as he made a move, he would beat the other party all over the ground.
