The Lord who use immortals as food

The waiter came over with sleepy eyes, and Pei Ye told him to take good care of his mount.

Then when he entered the door, the moonlight was immediately blocked. Pei Ye stood there for a while before adapting to the darkness in the hall. Fortunately, there was still a candle working - the stupid-looking woman walked in holding the candle, and the first thing she saw was a man sitting on a bench leaning against a pillar.

He is in his thirties, slightly shorter than the woman who opened the door, and his body is covered with dust. Pei Ye didn't hear him speak just now. At this time, he saw the look Pei Ye was looking at and took the initiative to nod to the young man.

Pei Ye smiled back.

And as the candlelight moved, another pair of feet was illuminated from the deeper darkness.

This man was lying on a bench, his lower legs completely hidden, and a crutch at his feet was leaning against the wall - not a short stick for leaning on, but long enough to lean on.

The light ball illuminated by the candle took another step deeper, and then stopped at a table.

By shaking deeper, Pei Ye roughly recognized the figure of this man - he was an old man of quite a certain age.

There were only these three people in the lobby, and there were luggage piled on the floor.

Pei Ye saw this scene, turned to the waiter and asked: "Are there no guest rooms?"

"Yes, sir, there are two more upper rooms!"

"How much does it cost to buy a house?"

"Three hundred coins a night as a guest." Xu Shi saw the handsome horse, and the waiter had some expectations for the spending power of the young man in front of him.

"No need, I'll sleep here like them. Do I have to pay here?"

"Yes. Ten articles."

"OK."

"You have to get up early tomorrow, so you can't disturb the guests."

"Okay, if you have anything to eat, give me something to fill your belly."

"There are leftover fried cabbage and two steamed buns, both of which are cold."

"OK."

"Chenghui has a total of nineteen cents." The waiter yawned.

Pei Ye counted out the coins to him, sat down at the table, stretched, and took a deep breath.

Then he heard the man beside him laughing harmoniously: "I have heard of the name of the Zhang family's "Belt-cutting Knife" in Xugu County for a long time. How could it not work?"

Pei Ye realized that he was picking up the woman's last sentence.

The woman touched her head cautiously, as if she didn't know how to speak, and her eyes only focused on the floor.

The man turned to Pei Ye and said, "My little brother also traveled at night? Where did he come from?"

"I'm here from Fenghuai." Pei Ye cupped his hand.

The man was stunned for a moment and then smiled: "This is quite rare. What are you going to do on this trip?"

"Catch up with the golden autumn martial arts competition."

As soon as these words came out, the hall was quiet for a moment.

It took a few breaths for the man to laugh, and he raised his hand to nod himself, the woman, and Pei Ye respectively: "All three of us."

Now it was Pei Ye's turn to be surprised. There was still some time before the martial arts competition. He was rushing to the training team of the martial arts gym. Why did these two people come so early?

Facing Pei Ye's puzzled gaze, the man said: "This girl is going to the 'Longmen Class' of Changdao Martial Arts School. I want to rush to Zhoucheng to buy something. How about you, little brother?"

Pei Ye had already turned to look at the woman: "I also go to the 'Longmen Class' of Changdao Martial Arts School."

The woman raised her head and glanced at him in surprise. The man smiled and said, "That's a coincidence."

Pei Ye raised his hand and said, "My name is Pei Ye. I dare to ask you two for their names."

"My name is Cheng Jianghong."

"My name is Zhang Junxue."

Pei Ye said hello to each other and asked: "Whose quota are the two of you?"

"Meizi Zhang is from Xugu County and I am from Shao County."

Xugu, Pei Ye remembered what Master Huang said about "the two powerful counties of Zhengshou and Xugu". This county is half mountainous and half plain. It can be said that it is half buried on the edge of the Xincang Mountains, but the mountains there have softened, and There is a trade route leading to Linzhou.

Lawless gangs often gather in this mountain, and after killing one group, another group will appear. In order to fight against them, the state government has devoted a large amount of martial arts resources to Xu Gu.

Shao County is only better than Fenghuai, and it is also a remote place. Xugu, Fenghuai, Shen County, and Shao County are actually the four northern counties often referred to in Bowang Prefecture.

Pei Ye nodded, doubts rising in his heart.

Fenghuai has been experiencing a shortage of martial arts talents in recent years, and now it has suffered major changes. Therefore, although there are three places, Chang Zhiyuan searched the entire county and found only one suitable person, Pei Ye.

Because in theory, no matter how "short" the overall level is, you can always pull out a few relatively tall ones, but in fact, everyone still has a tacit understanding - unless the bones are really extraordinary, otherwise the landlubber and the lifelong cultivator Those who don’t will not be qualified.

Firstly, it would be too embarrassing to be kicked down after going up. Secondly, in this kind of competition where everyone goes all out, the weak will always be more insecure.

Shao County is also remote, and it is possible if only one person comes, but for a strong county like Xugu, can only one person come?

Pei Ye thought about this and leaned forward to ask the two of them.

"I am one person." Cheng Jianghong said with a smile, "But Sister Zhang is probably not."

"Well, they will come later."

Pei Ye understood - it seemed that this "Dragon Gate Class" was not the treatment prepared by Xu Gu for each candidate, but the price paid by Zhang Junxue himself.

"Mei Zi Zhang was originally one of the top four students, but now she has signed up for the Longmen class again. It seems she is aiming to be in the top four this time."

Zhang Junxue snorted, noncommittal.

Pei Ye glanced at the woman, her black eyes under the broken hair still looking at the ground. It's not like she was shy and reserved, she was just used to avoiding these interactions because she was clumsy.

Pei Ye took the conversation and said, "Where's Brother Cheng? Where is the target this time?"

"Me, haha, sixteen is enough." Cheng Jiang Hong smiled.

Pei Ye smiled and nodded - well, it seems that he wants to keep the eight and compete for four.

Before entering the city, as soon as they came out of the mountain, they met two strong opponents.

Suddenly, an old man's voice sounded. This voice was normal and even kind, but suddenly it seemed a bit eerie in the darkness, and Pei Ye couldn't help but stop breathing.

The old man didn't sit up. He laughed twice while lying down and said hoarsely: "You are better than her."

Cheng Jianghong was startled for a moment and then smiled: "Old man, I don't dare to say that I will definitely defeat Sister Zhang."

"Really? Why not give it a try."

"."

Cheng Jianghong was stunned for a moment, not knowing what to say.

Now that they know they are opponents, who is willing to reveal their true identity at this time?

But I heard a fuss from the old man, and he threw something as big as his thumb towards the table under the candlelight. It landed on the table, spun around twice and stopped, but it turned out to be a small porcelain vase.

"I know what you want to buy." The old man said, "In six or seven days, a 'step-up pill' made by the Quanzhen Sect will arrive in the city. This pill can stimulate the growth of the meridian tree. You want to use it to break through. To the realm of five lives, right?"

"Yes." Cheng Jianghong smiled helplessly, "My father-in-law has a sharp eye. I have gathered all my wealth this time to try to win this elixir."

"In this bottle is a level-climbing pill." The old man smiled and said surprisingly, "Just think of it as the prize for this competition."

The lobby was quiet for a while.

"Old, old. Don't joke, senior."

Cheng Jianghong moved his body and his eyes were fixed on the small porcelain bottle.

The Ascension Pill is not a magical elixir, but it can definitely be called a treasure pill.

The way it stimulates the meridian tree to grow is not magical. It still follows the meridian tree's own law of "overflowing and growth", that is, pouring energy into it. Its essence is no different from the normal practice of a warrior.

It is similar to the meal pills taken by the great sects of the Holy Land. They are both aggregation of energy, but the process of taking effect is different. The essence of the meal pills is a further step of food, which still penetrates the texture from the stomach. The effectiveness of the Climbing Pill involves the "Dantian Bridge" component, which is a real cultivation pill that directly targets the meridian tree.

In addition, Shan Dan is mild in nature and can be swallowed as food for a long time, but Deng Jie Dan is different. It is medicine, not food, and its nature is more intense, its energy is richer, and its effectiveness is more prominent. It is better for a warrior to swallow one pill during the stage of generating blood vessels, two pills are the most.

Such a pill will start at a hundred taels during the period before the martial arts competition.

"No joke, you will make friends through martial arts, you are a member of our generation." The old man said in a sweet voice, "Including this young man, if the three of you are willing to compete, this pill will be given to the winner."
