Chapter 5 The restaurant strikes up a conversation
"Senior, if you just want to rest, you can stay in big restaurants such as Qingyu Tower, Chaole Tower, and Xinghuang Tower. If you need a good environment to practice, you should go to the other side of the cliff. The island owner has opened more than 100 restaurants there.
There are spiritual gathering arrays set up in this cave, and the price ranges from one low-grade spiritual stone per day to one medium-grade spiritual stone per day." Yu Cheng did not refuse, and readily took the spiritual stone and put it into his storage.
bag.
Shi Xuan thought for a moment: "I'm just going to rest today. I'll decide whether to practice in Tide Fang tomorrow. I don't know which island nearby is suitable for practice?"
Yu Cheng chuckled and said: "Senior, in the three-island sea area, apart from the islands occupied by the two major sects, only Chao Tide Fang is the most suitable for practice. The other islands are either occupied by small families and no outsiders are allowed to go there, or
There are many monsters and monsters, and they are extremely dangerous, so they are only suitable for earning some spiritual stones. In addition, there is also a type of island, which although it also provides cave cultivation, is a chaotic place, and there are often reports of monks being attacked and killed."
"Is it safe here in Chaoxifang? Okay, I'll treat you to dinner. Let's chat while eating. You can show us which restaurant we want to go to." Shi Xuan happened to need to get more information from Yu Cheng.
"Senior, since this is your first time coming to Tide Fang, you have to go to Qingyulou's fish feast, which is a unique experience in the waters of Sandao. By the way, I heard that the owner of the Fang caught a man named Fish Taoist a few days ago.
The evil monk who caused trouble turned out to be a fourth-level red-tailed fish, and then Qingyulou came to buy it with spiritual stones. These days, fish dumplings made from fourth-level monsters are selling like hotcakes!" Yu Cheng said
Suddenly I remembered this breaking news.
"Fourth-level red-tailed fish?" Shi Xuan spent an afternoon shopping in the market, and he had some understanding of the divisions of monsters. It's very simple. The seventh-level monster corresponds to the seventh level of Qi refining, and the fourth-level red-tailed fish is equivalent to entraining Qi.
A monk in his early years.
Yu Cheng took Shi Xuan to a large restaurant, his face still full of excitement: "Yes, you must know that among a hundred monks in the out-of-body stage, there may not be a master in the entrainment stage.
Although it will be difficult for me to enter the qi-entraining stage in my life, if I can rely on you, senior, to eat a fourth-level monster once, I will die without regrets."
Seeing the excited Yu Cheng, Shi Xuan only had one wish now, that the fish won't be too expensive.
After entering the Qingyu Building, two beautiful female monks guided Shi Xuan and Yu Cheng to the free tables. Shi Xuan looked around and chose a table for four near the window.
"I wonder how much the fish dumplings made by this fish Taoist cost?" At Shi Xuan's signal, Yu Cheng asked this question first.
One of the female monks, whose dimples appeared on her left side when she smiled, replied with a smile: "Sir, ordinary parts, a plate of ten pieces, one low-grade spiritual stone."
A piece of low-grade spirit stone? The price is still acceptable. Shi Xuan himself also wanted to taste what the fourth-level monster tasted like, so he ordered one. He turned back to look at Yu Cheng and found that he was actually shocked. He shook his head.
Shaking his head, he asked the two maids to recommend the signature four dishes and one soup, including drunken fish roe, braised sea greens, boiled scallops, steamed ten-leg king crab and sea monster clear soup.
The total of these is only one low-grade spiritual stone. No wonder Yu Cheng was shocked by the price of fish and dumplings. At this time, Yu Cheng had woken up. When he saw the two maids pouring the tea and then going to greet other guests, he whispered to Shi Xuan:
"Senior, these dishes are only made from first-order sea fish. If you want second- and third-order fish, it will cost several times more."
After saying that, he thought to himself: "Although ordinary red-tailed fish are small fish, I heard that the fish Taoist is quite big, weighing at least hundreds of kilograms. Ten pieces of a low-grade spiritual stone, excluding the bones, would cost a lot."
Thousands of low-grade spiritual stones! What a good profit."
Shi Xuan only has a preliminary understanding of the price now and has not yet formed a complete concept, so he does not answer Yu Cheng's words and directly asks the question before entering the restaurant: "Yu Cheng, you said that this Tide Fang is safer than other islands.
?”
"Yes, senior, the boss of our tide shop was born in Penglai. He has strong magic power and a wide network of friends. He is also a very disciplined person. He built his own boss guard. No, he is the one who passed by the window just now in black clothes and chest.
The monks of Lun Mingyue patrol the city every day. Of course, no matter how strict the protection is, they can't stop those who are really sharp and stupid or jump over the wall in a hurry. There have been several assassinations in the street or deceiving people into corners and then killing people and stealing goods.
Yes, but compared to other islands, it is much better!" Yu Cheng expressed admiration for the boss.
Shi Xuan nodded. It seems that it is a good choice to stay in Tide Fang before attending the sect's ceremony. Tomorrow, he will go to the cliff to book a cave. This way, the spirit stone will not be used for a few months, but we will wait and see.
After finishing "The History of the Cultivation World and the Customs and Customs of the Three Islands" and learning more information, I decided how to earn spiritual stones.
"The owner of the shop turned out to be from the Penglai sect? I don't know why he didn't stay inside the gate?" It's always good to know more about Tidal House.
"I'm not sure about this. After all, the little one wasn't born at that time. The owner of the shop was originally an inner disciple of the Penglai sect. He came to Mingyue Island seventy or eighty years ago and built this city. He didn't say why he left Penglai.
Pai." Yu Cheng didn't know much about this.
"Can inner disciples also leave the sect?" Shi Xuan was startled, what if his skills were leaked?
"That's why I said that I don't know why. Under normal circumstances, the rules of the Penglai sect are like this: outer disciples can leave the sect at any time. Anyway, they will not be taught very good skills. Inner disciples can only leave the sect when they are old and weak.
After being unable to break through, only with the permission of the sect can you leave in the name of establishing a branch of the sect, and you cannot leak any of the five major skills. Violators will have Zhanglutang take action. True disciples cannot leave the sect.
"Yu Cheng explained the Penglai sect's rules to Shi Xuan.
Shi Xuan pondered for a moment: "How old is the master?"
Yu Cheng thought for a moment and said: "The master of the workshop is now a great master in the soul stage. It is said that he is less than two hundred years old. When he came to Mingyue Island to establish the market, he was only in the Qi-entraining stage. After less than ten years, he became a master.
He has broken through to the Soul Stage, so he definitely did not leave after being unable to break through. However, the strange thing is that although the boss has not returned to Penglai Island for seventy or eighty years, he has never said that he left the sect in public, and the Penglai sect has never pursued it.
Several big families in Pai Nei still have shops in Fangshi!"
"Then the boss didn't leak the technique, right?" Shi Xuan thought that there was probably an inside story, but this was not something that outsiders could understand.
"No, his five major disciples all practiced some of the techniques he later acquired. Even his daughter did not practice his Samadhi Divine Wind Qi." Yu Cheng said with certainty.
Samadhi Shenfeng Zhenqi?! Shi Xuan was moved in his heart, but on the surface he remained calm: "I wonder which of the five major techniques the master is practicing?"
"Haha, seniors like you who come from other sea areas probably don't know much about our three-island sea area. When you hear the Samadhi Kamikaze True Qi, you will naturally know that it is the "True Interpretation of the Divine Wind of Heaven and Earth Liuhe" among the five major techniques.
." Yu Cheng previously discovered that Shi Xuan came to Tide Fang for the first time, but now he feels that he should have come from other sea areas.
Those who come from other sea areas must come from other sea areas. Seeing that there is no look of contempt on Yu Cheng's face, Shi Xuan understands that it is normal for monks from other sea areas to be here, so he doesn't tell them and continues to ask: "I am here for three times this time."
I just want to see if I can have a chance to enter the sect in the sea area of the island. How about you, Yu Cheng, give me a good introduction, and I will thank you."
"Senior, you're so polite. It's very expensive to treat me to a meal. I know everything I know, and I can't stop talking about it." Yu Cheng immediately said that he didn't want any other thanks, "Actually, a lot of content is in the "Cultivation of Truth" you bought, senior.
It is included in "Encyclopedia of World History and Customs and Customs around the Three Islands", and you will naturally understand it after reading it at night."
"Why don't you, poor Taoist, come and tell this fellow Taoist?" At this time, a middle-aged monk with an elegant appearance, a smile, and a very friendly face suddenly came over to talk to him.
Shi Xuan's keen senses had long discovered that this monk had been peeping at him several times since the afternoon, and then followed him into the Qingyu Tower. Now he suddenly struck up a conversation, and was about to see what he was going to say, and he was not afraid of what he would do in public.
What: "I don't know what to call you, my surname is Shi."
"Haha, fellow Taoist Shi is very polite. My Taoist surname is Li. I know that this is the first time for you to come to our three-island sea area. How can you lose the courtesy of a landlord? I am here to invite you for this meal." Taoist Li sat down very familiarly.
He sat down and expressed that he wanted to treat him to a meal.
Li Taoist did not wait for Shi Xuan to answer, and introduced: "Our three islands have vast waters, numerous islands, and rich materials. Five of the top ten golden elixir masters in the world are from here. The Penglai sect and the Yingzhou sect are both ranked third.
Among the four major sects of Yiyijiao, he can be regarded as the leader in the world of spiritual practice."
What he said was very exciting, as if he wanted to make Shi Xuan, a country bumpkin, faint with his talk. However, looking at Yu Cheng's expression of vigilance and approval, you can understand that this is a common mentality among the monks in the Three Islands Sea Area.
"The four major sects have been no longer what they used to be for more than a hundred years. There are only a few middle-grade golden elixir masters supporting the facade, and none of them have entered the top ten in the world, so there is no need to mention them. Except for the Hunyuan Patriarch in casual cultivation,
The Yingzhou sect, the Luofusian sect, and the Netherworld sect each have two people on the list, but the Penglai sect alone has three people, namely Yu Jiao Long Yu Ni Shang, Wu Hui Jian Yong Xiang, Cold-faced Thunder Lord Mo Yuan, the three major true legends and the five major
There is always a method that suits your talent and strength. Therefore, if you want to join the sect, Taoist friend Shi, the Penglai sect is the best choice. I will also go to Penglai Island to attend the Dharma conference in half a year to see if I have a chance to enter.
Penglai sect." Li Taoist boasted vigorously, making Shi Xuan feel as he did when he saw the university club recruiting new students in his previous life.
At the same time, a question flashed through Shi Xuan's mind, who ranked the list of the top ten masters, and how authoritative is it? However, he did not dare to ask such an ignorant question at this time, so he could only go back to his room and look through the jade slips at night.
"I wonder what these three true traditions and five major techniques are? And what are the techniques of the Yingzhou sect?" Shi Xuan knew that they already knew that they didn't know these questions, so there was nothing difficult to ask.
Taoist Li asked the maid to add a cup of tea and took a sip before saying: "Of the three true traditions of the Penglai sect, outsiders have always known only one, which is their method of suppressing the sect: the "Shenxiao True Method", but sixty
Wuhui Sword Yongxiang gained fame many years ago, and then formed a high-grade golden elixir more than thirty years ago, which shocked the world. This made everyone speculate that one of the three true traditions of Penglai Sect should be based on sacrificial sword refining.
The cultivation techniques of Master Xia. As for the other great true tradition, probably only the elders and true disciples of the Penglai Sect know about it."
