Hearing Ye Changqing praise himself, Xiao Er smiled embarrassedly.

Xiao Er led Ye Changqing and the others to the seat and said: "Ye Gongzi, you don't know, I can remember your appearance because our shopkeeper specially told me, saying that it doesn't matter if I remember other guests or not, but let me remember Zhu Lao and you." It's just that the shopkeeper is not here today, otherwise he would be very happy to see you...... Wait a minute. ”

Old friends who are familiar with Xiuqing are used to calling him Lao Zhu. Those who are not familiar with it, or whose cultivation level is low, and dare not call him Lao Zhu like those big guys, can only call him Zhu Lao.

As for Lao Zhu's original name: Xiuqing. Except for those old things, there are not many people in this world who know, and over time, everyone calls him Lao Zhu or Zhu Lao. Habit becomes nature.

After a while, Xiao Er came over with a pot of tea.

After pouring tea for the three of them, Xiao Er explained: "Our shopkeeper said that with his qualifications and talents, the peak of qi refining is the peak of his life, but because of Zhu Lao's help, he was able to break through the qi refining period and then step into the realm of the foundation building period in one go." ”

Theoretically speaking, people on the entire continent can cultivate with the help of the aura between heaven and earth.

However, everyone's qualifications and talents are different, so some people only have the cultivation of the Qi cultivation period in their lives, and at most they are the peak of Qi refining. This is the top.

And those with good qualifications and talents, who can be discovered, most of them are favored by those Xuanmen factions, and then taken away and cultivated.

In terms of the innkeeper's qualifications and talents, he was no different from most of the others on the continent. Restricted by personal qualifications and talents, there will not be much room for promotion in cultivation.

If Lao Zhu hadn't helped him at that time, then he would only be able to stay in the realm of the Qi refining period for the rest of his life.

Of course, without Lao Zhu, he may also have other opportunities to break through to the foundation building period. But that's not on our radar, we're just using him as an example.

It turned out that it was because of Master...... But Master didn't mention it to me. Ye Changqing said in his heart: I think that the master thinks that this is a small thing to do, and there is nothing to say. Depending on the realm, the ideas will be different.

Thinking about this, Ye Changqing said to Xiao Er: "There are some things that I can't say as my identity, so I can only say that I am very grateful to you and your shopkeeper for remembering me as a guest." Okay, after the gossip, it's time to get down to business. ”

Ye Changqing stretched out his hand to indicate that he had three people, and then said, "We want to rest in your inn for a night tonight, I don't know if you have any empty rooms here?" ”

There are so many guests eating here downstairs, and Ye Changqing is really not sure if there is a guest room. But it doesn't matter if you don't have Ye Changqing, just find another one. He came here purely to drink the tea.

As soon as Xiao Er heard that Ye Changqing wanted to stay in the hotel, he immediately said: "Of course there is a room, but I don't know if you will go up after eating, or ......."

Hearing the guy's words, Ye Changqing looked at Su Yan and Master Hui'an, and after seeing that both of them shook their heads, Ye Changqing said, "We won't eat the rice, but we still have to drink this tea." ”

Ye Changqing and the three of them had already opened the valley, and they no longer needed to rely on food to maintain the energy needed by their bodies.

Most of the people in the Xuanmen are in the valley, which is helpful for cultivation, but this does not mean that they will not be able to eat anymore after the valley. You can still eat if you want to.

Xiao Er originally said that everything was free, but Ye Changqing insisted, and in the end Xiao Er had no choice but to quote the price.

Ye Changqing took out a dozen silver taels from the storage bag and handed them to Xiao Er, and then said to Xiao Er: "You go and go busy with your own going, just remember to leave three guest rooms for us." ”

Xiao Er took the silver two and motioned to the three of them, saying that if the three of Ye Changqing needed anything, just tell him. Finally said a word of interruption, then stepped away and turned to other things.

After Xiao Er left, Ye Changqing and the three of them began to drink tea and chat, the content, from daily life to interesting events encountered in travel, everything from the south and the north to the north.

A few people were chatting, and suddenly heard someone next to them talking about picking up the star pavilion. said that the Star Picking Pavilion was going to hold a martial arts competition.

Holding jousting tournaments is nothing new. It is not the first time that the Star Pavilion has been held.

The original intention of the martial arts competition was to strengthen the fighting quality of the disciples of the various sects in the Xuanmen realm.

The reason for this is that more than 1,000 years ago, the evil sect and the righteous people launched a great war in the world.

This war was widely implicated and affected the entire Xuanmen world. Heavy casualties were inflicted on both sides.

Although the cult has few people, it does not have an advantage in numbers. But most of them are able to defeat two or even three with one against the righteous people.

Of course, in the end, the right way won.

After all, the population base is there, and there is no shortage of people with advanced cultivation in the righteous path, and the number of high-end combat power is not comparable to that of the evil sect.

The high-end combat power of the evil faction could not compete, and finally retreated. The righteous path pursued the victory, and the evil sect finally escaped by water, and finally fled overseas.

I just don't know how many people from the cult died in the sea and in the belly of the fish in the process of fleeing. There are no fewer animals in the ocean than on land, so how many goblins are there who have achieved cultivation?

Although the evil sect was defeated in the end, the righteous people were not much better, and their vitality was also greatly damaged.

Since that war, righteous people have felt the importance of fighting qualities. Therefore, every once in a while, the Xuanmen Realm would hold a martial arts tournament to cultivate the combat qualities of the disciples of each faction. Of course, the small sects are not capable of holding a martial arts competition of this scale, and those big sects are holding it in turn.

No, this time it's the turn of the Star Picking Pavilion.

It's just that now, the nature of the tournament seems to be a little different. Cultivating the fighting qualities of the disciples seems to have become secondary. The face of the sect is more important.

At present, most sects only select elite disciples within the sect to participate in martial arts competitions, and ordinary disciples basically have no chance to participate. But this is not the original intention of the competition.

But this behavior is understandable. After all, a thousand years have passed, and there is no sign of the evil sect re-invading. A comfortable environment will always make people slack off.

......

Straight to the point.

Ye Changqing and the others turned their heads to look over and found that it was a young man who looked to be in his twenties and thirties.

The man, dressed in a gray robe, with a delicate appearance and a storage bag hanging from his waist, was chatting with his fellow guests at this time.

The guests at the other tables also joined in the chat after hearing what the gray-robed man said, and I think many people knew the news that the Star Picking Pavilion was going to hold a martial arts competition. This does not include Ye Changqing and Su Yan.

Ye Changqing and Su Yan didn't know, so the two looked at Master Hui'an.

......
