Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
The person who came was Du Qingxi, wearing a black gauze outlining her slender curves, standing outside the door, with a black bun, plain face to the sky, with a cold and pure beauty.
"Nanban Netherworld Trial?"
Looking at Du Qingxi outside the door, Chen Xi was puzzled, he grew up in Songyan City since he was a child, and he knew the trial of the Nanban Underworld.
In the 100,000 Nanban Mountain Range, every three years, a strange space with an extremely harsh environment appears.
There is a kind of gray-white hurricane blowing all the year round, it is impossible to distinguish between day and night, and most importantly, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth in the Nanban Underworld is exhausted, like a lifeless abandoned land. For the monks who breathe in the aura of heaven and earth, this place is simply a hellish existence!
However, after thousands of years of exploration and exploration, people also have a new understanding of the Nanban Void.
It is true that there are no living beings in this space, but there is a fierce and bloodthirsty beast, and its strength is roughly around the acquired perfection realm. And in the body of the beast, there is a kind of treasure of the bead, although I don't know what its purpose is, but its value is indeed extremely amazing.
There was once a monk who took the bead to Jinxiu City, where the royal city of the Great Chu Dynasty was located thousands of miles away, and a bead was sold for a sky-high price of 100 spirit crystals!
This matter was reported back to Songyan City, causing an instant sensation, so when the Nanban Underworld reappeared, almost all the monks in Songyan City flocked away. But the strange thing is that only the Acquired Realm and Innate Realm monks can enter it safely, and as soon as the other monks step into the edge of the Southern Barbarian Underworld, they will be stopped by an invisible force.
It is precisely because of this that the various university mansions and family forces in Songyan City, together with the General's Mansion, have jointly launched the activities of the Southern Barbarian Netherworld Trial. Encourage the younger generation in Songyan City who have innate realm cultivation to participate in the trial.
First, you can obtain the Evil Bead, and secondly, in the harsh environment of the Southern Barbarian Underworld, you can also temper the monk's survival ability and actual combat skills.
What is especially important is that many families and schools use the number of beads as a criterion to evaluate their disciples, and those with a large number can not only become core disciples and enjoy resources that ordinary disciples cannot afford, but also obtain a lot of wealth and volunteer expenses.
And for the top three who have obtained the largest number of Evil Beads in the trial, the General's Mansion will send an invitation letter to them, inviting them to join the Chu Soul Guard Branch of Longyuan City in Southern Xinjiang!
Chu Soul Guard, a cultivator organization under the command of the Great Chu Dynasty, if you talk about the horror of strength, there are few people who can match it in the entire territory of the Great Chu Dynasty. Of course, the invitation is just an invitation, and if you want to join the Chu Soul Guard branch of Longyuan City, you have to go through several extremely harsh assessments, which is more difficult than participating in the assessment of a first-level major sect.
"The Southern Barbarian Underworld is full of evil spirits, the spiritual power is exhausted, and there are many evil beasts in it, which will accompany the battle all the time, and if the monks want to survive in it, there is no other way than to carry a large number of spirit stone pills. β
Du Qingxi's voice was cold and neat, like his cold as snow temperament, with a hint of undoubted taste, and said slowly, "I came to you just to enter the Nanban Underworld and cook dishes for me. I've prepared the ingredients and utensils for you, and now I'll take you to meet two people. β
"Wait, when did I agree to go to the Nanban Underworld?" Chen Xi frowned, he didn't like the feeling of being ordered.
Du Qingxi said as a matter of course: "You are the apprentice of the spirit chef hired by Qingxi Restaurant, this is one of your duties. β
"But why me?" Chen Xi continued.
"You are Old Man Ma's apprentice, and your cultivation is enough to enter the Nanban Underworld, who else meets this condition besides you?"
Du Qingxi seemed to be a little unhappy when asked, and frowned, "Don't talk nonsense, after coming out of the Nanban Underworld, I won't treat you badly." β
As she spoke, she turned around and left, as if she didn't bother to explain more to Chen Xi.
"That's it, let's take a trip, I've long wanted to see what the Nanban Underworld is like. β
Chen Xi thought about it, but still followed.
Du Qingxi was right, before he left Songyan City, he was still a member of Qingxi Restaurant, and since he took other people's salaries, he should naturally assume his corresponding responsibilities.
What is especially important is that he has been in retreat in a small black room almost every day in the past few months, and the value of the ingredients spent on practicing cooking is enough to be described as astronomical, but Du Qingxi has never asked him for anything in return, which makes Chen Xi feel a little embarrassed.
......
The backyard of Qingxi Restaurant has always been a place for Du Qingxi's retreat and cultivation, the environment is quiet and elegant, and few people can set foot in it except for some intimate servants.
When Du Qingxi took Chen Xi into the courtyard, there were two young men waiting.
"He is Duanmu Ze, from the Duanmu family of Longyuan City. Du Qingxi pointed to the man in white and briefly introduced.
Chen Xi raised his eyes and couldn't help but be stunned.
Duanmuze is definitely a slender man, elegant, handsome, and noble, dressed in white, graceful, with thin lips gently pursed, and a smile that is enough to make thousands of girls scream madly.
However, Chen Xi didn't care about this, what he cared about was the family behind Duanmuze.
Although Du Qingxi's introduction was extremely simple, how could Chen Xi not have heard of the names of the eight major sects, the three universities, and the six major families in Longyuan City, which were so popular in the streets and alleys.
These forces all have a profound background, and their ancient Cheng dΓΉ can be traced back to tens of thousands of years ago, which is far from being comparable to a family like the Li family in Songyan City, which has only been emerging for thousands of years.
The Duanmu family is one of the six major families, so when facing Duanmu Ze, a child from the Duanmu family, Chen Xi naturally felt a little surprised, he is handsome and has a good background, this guy must be very famous in Longyuan City, right?
"Qingxi, it seems a little unreliable for you to find this person, right?"
Duanmuze raised his eyes and glanced at Chen Xi, his brows couldn't help frowning slightly, but there was a hint of domineering in his flat tone. He really couldn't understand how Du Qingxi could find a spirit chef apprentice to join them.
Born in a wealthy family since childhood, in the eyes of Duanmu Ze, although Chef Ling is good at cooking, the chef is a cook after all, and the essence is a first-class servant with a low status, how can he mix with himself and others?
Because of this, although Du Qingxi had already told him about it, and he promised not to take care of it, but when he really saw Chen Xi, Duanmuze still felt extremely unhappy in his heart, as if Chen Xi's appearance had insulted his identity.
With just one sentence, Chen Xi's impression of Duanmu Ze became very bad, and he didn't bother to greet him anymore. On the contrary, he hoped that Du Qingxi would also say that he was unreliable, so that he would pat his ass and leave, and he would no longer have to stay with this proud peacock man.
However, to Chen Xi's regret, Du Qingxi didn't do this, she didn't even pay attention to Duanmu Ze, but her eyes flashed, pointed to the young man on the other side, and continued to introduce: "Song Lin, from the Song family of Longyuan City. β
Song Lin is actually quite handsome, but he is obviously an extremely lazy guy, with fluffy hair, sloppy clothes, slightly squinted eyes, and his whole body seems to be scattered, lazily leaning on a big tree in the courtyard, looking sleepy-eyed.
Seeing Du Qingxi introduce himself, Song Lin waved his hand weakly to this side, and muttered vaguely: "Hmm, I heard Qingxi talk about you, but let's talk about it when I sleep well......" As he spoke, his head fell asleep little by little.
Sure enough, the family behind this Song Lin is also from one of the six major families.
Thinking of this, Chen Xi's heart moved, and he suddenly realized one thing, there is also a Du family among the six major families, Du Qingxi should not be a child of the Du family, right?
This is highly likely.
Things gather people in groups, looking at Du Qingxi's attitude towards Duanmuze and Song Lin, the three obviously belong to the same type of people, but their personalities are different.
"It's just an ordinary Nanban trial, but it has attracted the participation of three children of the big family of Longyuan City, is there any secret hidden in it?"
Chen Xi was puzzled, and suddenly said that his trip to the Southern Barbarian Underworld did not seem to be as simple as he imagined.
"Qingxi, do you really want to take him with you?"
Seeing Du Qingxi ignoring himself, Duanmu Ze couldn't help but be angry in his heart, but his face still looked frank, and he frowned and said: "I heard that the demon beasts in the Nanban Mountain Range are rampant and dangerous, take him with you, in case of some unforeseen changes, wouldn't it harm his life?"
Chen Xi was silent, and couldn't help but sigh lightly in his heart, and if he wanted to let himself go, he said directly, why do you want to find so many far-fetched and ridiculous reasons? These children of big families are really hypocritical.
"Finished?" Du Qingxi said expressionlessly.
Duanmu Ze's expression was stunned, and then he said with a straight face: "Qingxi, I am also thinking about him." β
"When you're done, you're out. Du Qingxi was still indifferent and turned to leave.
Seeing this, Chen Xi also left, he didn't want to stay with Duanmu Ze, who knows what ugly words this guy would say when he was angry.
Watching the two of them walk out of the courtyard one after the other, the smile that often hung on Duanmu Ze's lips disappeared in an instant, and his face became extremely different.
"Well, let's go. Song Lin rubbed his sleepy eyes and sighed weakly.
"I'm not going to just let that kid go. Duanmu Ze's face was gloomy, and he squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth, "I want to see if Qingxi dares to turn his face with me for the sake of a lowly servant!"
