He rubbed his swelling head, sat up with grin and looked at the surrounding environment.
It is a simple adobe house with mottled walls and lots of dirt falling from the corners of the walls. There is nothing else in the room except a bed, a dilapidated table and two stools.
It can be called a family of vain.
There was a kettle on the table and four ceramic cups were pressed upside down.
Tan Sheng frowned.
My head bloated and it was very uncomfortable.
I feel good when I drink, but I feel uncomfortable when I sober up.
Tan Sheng got off the ground, rubbed his temples, walked to the table, sat on the stool, picked up a cup and looked at it, it was quite clean, and then picked up the kettle and felt it. There was water, most of it.
Tan Sheng poured a glass of water, drank it all in one mouthful, and poured another cup, still stuffy.
After two glasses of water, Tan Sheng felt a little more comfortable.
At this time, Tan Sheng began to think about how he came to this strange place.
"I seemed to have drunk a lot of wine last night and staggered out of the city..."
"later……"
"I met a swordsman and drank together?"
"I don't know then."
"Oh, drunkenness makes things happen... No, I have nothing serious, haha..."
Tan Sheng smiled self-deprecatingly.
At this time, the door opened with a creaking sound.
"Brother, you're awake!"
The swordsman who drank with Tan Sheng the night before yesterday walked in and said with a smile.
In his hand, he was carrying a bag of cooked food, a pot of wine, and a few sesame cakes.
The fragrance drifts away.
Tan Sheng's stomach screamed twice, but fortunately his voice was very low, otherwise Tan Sheng would not be able to afford to lose this person.
"Who is yours?"
Tan Sheng cast inquiring eyes at the swordsman.
"Oh, I haven't introduced myself yet. My name is Li Xiaoyao, and I am a casual cultivator."
The swordsman introduced it, walked in, put all his food and drink on the table, pulled out a stool and sat down, and said, "This is my home. Last night you were drunk and unconscious, I brought you back. You are now
How do you feel?"
"Uh, I'm fine." Tan Sheng hugged Li Xiaoyao and then said, "I'm here to stay. Thank you Brother Li for your reception."
Although Tan Sheng and Li Xiaoyao met by chance, for some reason, he inexplicably felt close to Li Xiaoyao and instinctively trusted this swordsman.
"Why are you polite?" Li Xiaoyao smiled while untiing the bag, "Come on, I went out to buy some food. You and I fell in love with it at first sight. Why not drink a few more cups?"
"Uh, no, it's so painful, so don't drink anymore." Tan Sheng waved his hands repeatedly.
"Haha, OK, then I'll make a pot of tea for you."
"No need to worry, I'll just drink water..."
Tan Sheng felt a little embarrassed.
But Li Xiaoyao had already gone out with a kettle.
After a moment, Li Xiaoyao returned to the room, replaced the cold water in the kettle with hot tea, and brought back two pairs of chopsticks.
Li Xiaoyao poured two cups of tea, then spread the cooked food, cut a portion of pork head meat into slices of meat, and a portion of cold dishes. Although it is simple, it looks like it makes people's appetite greatly.
Then Li Xiaoyao put out the sesame cakes, made a "invitation" gesture to Tan Sheng, and said, "Brother Tan, don't be polite, eat."
After saying that, Li Xiaoyao picked up a sesame cake, picked a crack from the edge, then picked up the pork head meat with chopsticks and stuffed it in, and it was quickly stuffed.
Li Xiaoyao grinned at Tan Sheng and said, "Brother Tan, you eat like me, it's delicious."
Seeing this, Tan Sheng smiled and no longer politely. He picked up a sesame cake, imitated Li Xiaoyao, and stuffed pork with sauce into it.
After biting it, the golden and crispy sesame cakes are wrapped in fragrant pork head meat, which is indeed delicious.
The two of them filled their mouths with sesame cakes and pork head meat, and they looked at each other and smiled.
"Brother Li, have you...n't you heard my name?"
Tan Sheng took a sip of tea, wiped his mouth, and looked at Li Xiaoyao and asked.
Li Xiaoyao blinked blankly and said, "No. Oh, I'm not a local. I just came here because I'm going to participate in the introductory assessment of Wuji Sect a month later."
Speaking of this, Li Xiaoyao's eyes dimmed, he sighed, and said, "It's a pity that I'm just at the peak of foundation building now, and I'll be thirty in another month. If I can't successfully complete the Golden Pill, I'm afraid I'll be even qualified to participate in the assessment.
None of them."
Upon hearing this, Tan Sheng was stunned.
Li Xiaoyao’s situation is so similar to him!
They are all at the age of thirty, and they are all at the peak of foundation building and hopeless golden elixir.
"Haha, Brother Li, we are really sorry for each other."
Tan Sheng smiled bitterly and shook his head and said.
"Brother Tan, are you?" Li Xiaoyao looked at Tan Sheng in surprise.
Tan Sheng nodded and said bitterly: "Yes, I'm thirty soon, but I still can't see the hope of forming a golden elixir. If I can't enter the Wuji Sect this time, I have to go back and inherit the family industry and cook.
Chamber of Commerce. Then I can only be a rich man in my life and cannot go further on the road of cultivation!"
Li Xiaoyao's mouth twitched twice.
Tan Sheng's words are very similar to jj who "if you don't work hard, you have to go back and inherit billions of property."
"Dong!"
Li Xiaoyao clenched his fist and pounded the table, which scared Tan Sheng.
"Brother Tan, have you accepted your fate?" Li Xiaoyao asked, staring at Tan Sheng's eyes.
"What if I don't accept my fate? In one month, I can't make a golden elixir." Tan Sheng shook his head and said.
“…”
Li Xiaoyao was stunned, then a hint of helplessness appeared on his face and said, "Yes, there is only one month left... Alas, it's a pity that I didn't find Jiuyang Flower everywhere, otherwise, it would take one month to make gold.
Dan, it's entirely possible!"
After saying that, Li Xiaoyao lowered his head.
But Tan Sheng's eyes lit up suddenly and he said anxiously: "Nine Yang Flowers!? Brother Li, do you mean that if you have Nine Yang Flowers, you can make golden elixirs in one month? How is this possible!"
Li Xiaoyao raised his head and said, "I once got a book in a cave that recorded the alchemy techniques of ancient sages, which recorded a method of refining elixirs called Nine-Turn Golden Elixir, and took the foundation-building peak
, There is a high probability that I can create a golden elixir and enter the golden elixir stage in one fell swoop. Over the years, I have collected almost all the raw materials for refining the Nine-Turn Golden Elixir, but I have never had the most critical raw material, Jiuyanghua.
Find it, it will fail, it will fail."
The expression was extremely unwilling.
Tan Sheng's eyes lit up and he whispered: "I have the Nine Yang Flower!"
"Swish!"
Li Xiaoyao suddenly looked at Tan Sheng and said with a very fast speech: "Brother Tan, this joke is not good!"
Tan Sheng said seriously: "I'm not kidding. I'm the second young master of the Tan family, one of the three major families in Wuyuan City. Our family has Jiuyang Flowers in its collection!"
"really!?"
"really!"
"That's great! It's great!" Li Xiaoyao was overjoyed and said, "Brother Tan, what's going on? Please help me find two pearls of Nine Yang flowers. I have collected all the other ingredients myself. In this way, I will
You can refine two Nine-Turning Golden Elixirs, you and I will take one each, enter the Golden Elixir Stage together, and then participate in the Wuji Sect assessment!"
"good!"
Tan Sheng stood up without any hesitation and responded loudly.
At this moment, Tan Sheng was like a drowning person. He had a life-saving straw, and he would definitely hold it tightly without hesitation.
"Ha ha……"
Both of them laughed.
Then, Tan Sheng said, "Brother Li, I'll go home to get the Nine Yang Flowers now. If you have nothing to do, you can go with me."
After thinking about it for a while, Li Xiaoyao agreed.
The two left the room together.
Tan Sheng had an excited expression on his face, but he didn't notice that Li Xiaoyao, who was walking with him, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a faint smile.
