Ancient Spring City is not small. Ning Chen sent the envoys stationed here, Tan Song, and Duanmu Ling to guard the other three gates. He sat in a three-story restaurant facing the street inside the east gate, looking down at all the monks entering and exiting the east gate. As for the sky
He didn't care about the Ning Yuan Stage monks who occasionally passed by. He didn't believe that the traitor from the Jinhua Sect dared to fly in the air under such circumstances.
After taking a sip of Bilanzhou's special tea, Ning Chen only felt the refreshing fragrance entering his nose. The taste was similar to Biluochun from China, but the fragrance was more fresh and refreshing. There was a light and spiritual fragrance lingering on the tip of his nose, with an aftertaste of fragrance.
, lingering endlessly.
"Good tea!" Ning Chen didn't drink much tea on Earth, but he was sure that all the green tea on Earth couldn't compare to the tea in front of him.
"You are too polite. How can the tea in this small shop compare to the special tea in Prince Yun's Mansion?" the restaurant owner said politely.
"The taste is different. Although the spirit is not very good, the tea here has a different fragrance, and there is no special tea in Prince Yun's Mansion. I always drank water before." Ning Chen said, he had been in Prince Yun's Mansion a few times before.
The elders also drank the tea leaves they collected several times, but they never had the habit of drinking tea themselves, so they just drank some water on weekdays.
"You are so awesome. The tea leaves in Xiaodian are produced in Yushui Lake, three hundred miles away in the north. They can only be picked once every three years. They do have some of the fragrance of Yushui Lake. If Ambassador Ning doesn't mind that the tea leaves in Xiaodian are crude, I will pack them for you.
I’ll take some tea leaves and wait for you to taste them after you return to Prince Yun’s Mansion.” The restaurant owner smiled.
The owner of the restaurant was just a young monk in the early stage of Qi refining. As an ordinary person more than thirty years ago, he was bent on seeking immortality. However, due to his qualifications, no sect accepted him, so he began to hang out in the casual cultivator circle. I don’t know where he came from.
I got three or five crude cultivation fragments, and after more than twenty years of making do with them, I only managed to reach the third level of Qi Refining.
It wasn't until he was forty years old that he finally gave up his dream and returned to Guquan City to take over this small restaurant that had been passed down for three generations from his father. However, after all, he had cultivation skills and was considered to be out of the category of ordinary people, so
A tea garden was opened in Yushui Lake, three hundred miles north of the city. Occasionally, I could buy some low-grade yellow beasts or spiritual plants from some friends. The small restaurant also began to entertain some low-level casual cultivators, and the business became more and more prosperous.
However, this was the first time to entertain a big shot like Ning Chen. The restaurant manager was cautious at first, for fear of making Ning Chen unhappy, but he gradually relaxed after Ning Chen's special conversation.
"Shopkeeper Xu, you're welcome. This tea is the signature of your restaurant. I can't ask for it in vain. We are destined to meet each other. I give you these talismans. I hope you can take the next step." Ning Chen did not refuse, and the tea was indeed good.
But naturally he would not take advantage of Shopkeeper Xu, so he took out a few Lingyuan Talismans and gave them to Shopkeeper Xu, presumably allowing him to break through to the middle stage of Qi refining.
"Ling Yuan Talisman, thank you very much, Ambassador Ning, for giving me the talisman!" Shopkeeper Xu's eyes lit up when he saw the Lin Yuan Talisman, and he was extremely excited. He thought that he was just a small casual cultivator in the early stage of Qi refining, and this kind of yellow-level middle-grade assistant is close to the top-grade.
He had only seen the talismans twice, let alone used them personally. He never expected that he would be lucky enough to get a few of them now.
Although he knew that this talisman was of no importance to Ning Chen, but the law should not be imparted lightly and treasures should not be given indiscriminately, shopkeeper Xu still stood up respectfully and took the talisman, then bowed to Ning Chen, and then gave instructions to the restaurant waiter.
, sat back at the table again.
"I didn't expect that I would become a big shot now." Ning Chen rubbed his nose and thought to himself. He was just a low-level casual cultivator in Cangshanfang City before. When he came to Xingyun City, he never had any contact with outsiders.
He soon joined the Qingyun Sect, but he had not yet adapted to the identity change brought about by his strength. It was not until he personally led the team to Guquan City that he realized that his dual identities as a monk in the late stage of Qi Refining and as an envoy of the Qingyun Sect brought to him in this world.
status.
Seeing that the few Lingyuan Talismans he had taken out had attracted a big gift from Shopkeeper Xu, Ning Chen could only sigh and sighed that all the worlds were the same. Wasn't it the same on earth that he was drooling when he looked at the sports car of a rich man, but he didn't know that sports car
For rich people, it may be similar to how they treat Ling Yuan Talisman.
"Envoy Ning, you have been sitting here for half a month, haven't you found the person you are looking for yet?" Shopkeeper Xu asked when Ning Chen turned his attention to the city gate again.
"Well, I don't know where he is hiding now. If he doesn't show up for a day, I will have to wait here." Ning Chen said lightly.
This is already the seventeenth day that Ning Chen came to Guquan City. Ever since the traitor disappeared at the junction of Pingshan Kingdom and Qingyun Kingdom, he has not been seen again for more than 20 days, as if he has disappeared from the world.
Ning Chen sometimes suspected that this person had been intercepted by some force secretly.
However, other people in the Qingyun Sect are very patient. More than a dozen elders are still patrolling back and forth dutifully. According to Duanmu Ling, this intensity of surveillance and search will last for at least half a year. If the person is still not found, they will gradually
Withdraw your hands.
"We haven't done anything in the past six months, but we got into trouble with that Jinhua Sect traitor named Zheng Chuan?" Ning Chen asked Duan Muling a few days ago.
"That's an earth-level skill. Let alone half a year, it will take even ten years. As long as Zheng Chuan doesn't show up for one day, we will definitely keep searching, but it will become more and more relaxed as time goes by.
Duanmu Ling said.
Ning Chen was speechless, but he had to admit that Duanmu Ling was right. This was a prefecture-level skill that could create the ancestor of Jindan. Not to mention the Qingyun Kingdom and the Pingshan Kingdom, maybe even the Cangshan Kingdom would be recruited. Cangshan Five
The sect has a lot of background, and the only thing missing is this last step. Let alone ten years, even a hundred years, they might still follow.
"Mr. Ning, please wait a moment. I'll prepare two dishes for you." Seeing that it was getting late, shopkeeper Xu stood up and said.
His family has cooking skills, and he is also the best chef in this restaurant. He has satisfied Ning Chen's appetite for more than ten days. The dishes taste really good, combining the flavors of the seasonings and ingredients themselves, and they are full of color, aroma and flavor.
Even on Earth, he would be a top-notch chef.
After a while, shopkeeper Xu put several plates of dishes on the table, "A friend of mine hunted a Rongyuan deer the day before yesterday and gave me a deer leg. I marinated it and steamed it over a slow fire for a day and night. You can try it.
look?"
"Thank you." Smelling the aroma of venison, Ning Chen couldn't help but move his index fingers. He picked up the chopsticks and was about to start. At this moment, his eyes suddenly condensed and he looked at a figure who had just walked into Guquan City.
"It's a blessing, not a curse. It's a curse that can't be avoided." Ning Chen just glanced at the figure and then naturally retracted his eyes. He stretched out his chopsticks and picked up a piece of venison and put it into his mouth. He tasted the rich meat aroma and clicked his tongue.
of admiration.
But at the same time, Ning Chen followed that figure out of the corner of his eye until he walked into an inn near the center of the city, an ordinary inn that only catered to ordinary people.
