Chapter 144: I, Yan Xiaohu, would rather starve to death, die outside, than eat from this

"Order whatever you want, Master has money!"

Upon entering the private room, Mo Xingjian was in a great mood and waved his hand.

Yan Xiaohu immediately got into the spirit, hurriedly took the menu, and just as he was about to order, the Hall Master of Yushan Hall walked in with a smile.

"Greetings, Mo Shixiong. Oh my, your luck is simply too good, you happen to be the one-thousandth batch of guests to come to Yushan Hall today, so this meal is completely free. Just order whatever you want, don't be polite!"

The Hall Master of Yushan Hall said with a face full of smiles.

The three of them were stunned upon hearing this, and then their faces all showed wild joy. There was actually such a good thing.

"Then I won't be polite!" Yan Xiaohu said excitedly. He had been thinking about several dishes in Yushan Hall for a long time, but because the price was too expensive, he had been reluctant to order them. This time, he could finally taste them to his heart's content.

And at this moment, the Hall Master of Yushan Hall came to Zhou Qing's side with a grin, patted his storage bag, took out a huge banner, and said with a face full of expectation: "Zhou Shizhi, see if you can help me sign this?"

Zhou Qing looked closely and saw the four dragon-flying and phoenix-dancing characters 【Too delicious】 written on the banner.

This was wanting him to advertise for Yushan Hall.

He smiled helplessly, but after all, eating people's food makes one soft-mouthed, and Yushan Hall's things were indeed quite delicious. At this moment, he had no choice but to sign his name in the lower right corner.

Yan Xiaohu, who was on the side, was stunned, and then leaned back on his chair with a face full of frustration.

What one thousand people? What free meal?

You really thought of that.

I, Yan Xiaohu, would rather starve to death, die outside, than eat this charity food from your Yushan Hall.

"So fragrant, oh my, Master, you must taste this braised spirit trout, the taste is simply superb!"

Yan Xiaohu was gorging himself while excitedly greeting Mo Xingjian, his mouth stuffed full, his speech a bit slurred.

"Fourth, this is glazed crystal shrimp ball, I ordered it specially. Just this one costs a supreme-grade spirit stone."

"Wow, so this is spirit source jade dew soup, so fragrant, let me taste what's inside, it's actually so expensive."

"Hall Master Shishu, another plate of emerald spirit cloud sticky rice, no, three plates, put more honey on it."

Inside the private room, one plate after another of delicious spirit dishes were brought in one after another. Yan Xiaohu was eating with great relish, his mouth never stopping. His round face was already bulging.

Even Mo Xingjian was satisfied to the extreme, his face always hanging with a comfortable smile. Today, he had benefited from Zhou Qing's light and improved his food well.

"Third Shixiong, did we order too much? This meal will cost at least four or five supreme-grade spirit stones, right?" Zhou Qing asked with some worry while eating.

Although it was said to be free, in the end, it was Hall Master Shishu paying out of his own pocket to treat them. It wouldn't be good to eat too much.

Yan Xiaohu waved his hand indifferently and said: "Don't worry, Yushan Hall has plenty of oil and water. Besides, what we can't eat can be packed. It's a pity to waste such delicious things. It's rare to have this opportunity, of course, we have to eat more."

Not long after, the three of them were full, lying lazily on their chairs, touching their bellies with satisfaction, and even let out a long burp, which was so comfortable.

So full, after these medicinal foods containing spiritual power entered the body, spiritual power was surging crazily in the limbs and bones, and even the three of them were emitting a special fragrance because of this.

Mo Xingjian picked his teeth, relaxed, and said: "Although I am proud of you, but now that this must-kill list is out, many people will surely be eyeing you. Some of them want to earn that bounty money, but more people are doing it to become famous. You must be careful in the future."

Zhou Qing nodded. Of course, he knew this clearly in his heart. This list was like a "piece of fat," attracting countless pairs of tiger-watching eyes, and the days ahead would probably require extra caution.

Yan Xiaohu, who was full, had also figured it out, and burped again: "That's for sure, I summarized it, there are nine major hazards."

The two looked at him.

Yan Xiaohu analyzed lazily: "First, you can't run around recklessly anymore; second, as Master said, many people are eyeing you to get rich and famous; third, no one dares to form a team with you, and they don't even dare to stay with you, after all, everyone is afraid of being implicated."

"Fourth, you are the center of attention wherever you go, with countless eyes and ears reporting your whereabouts at any time, with no privacy to speak of; fifth, every move you make, and even your hidden trump cards can be dug out, so as to find a way to deal with you, just like Elder Xuegu went back and said you used poison, and were insidious and cunning."

"Sixth."

Mo Xingjian: "..."

Zhou Qing: "..."

Azure Feather Immortal Sect!

Yuan Ya looked at Zhou Qing on the must-kill list, and the two words Meng Xing behind him, her eyes widened, her face full of disbelief.

Wasn't that pervert Meng Xing killed by Li Si? How could it be counted on Zhou Shidi's head?

Soon, Yuan Ya recalled the various situations of that day and seemed to understand something.

No wonder at the beginning, Zhou Qing chose to approach Meng Xing, adopted a sneak attack strategy, first made him seriously injured, and then used a secret technique to improve his cultivation to chase and kill him. It turned out there was a clear cultivation gap between the two, and he had to do so.

And she was stupid enough. The rusty broken sword used in the sneak attack on Meng Xing was later seen by Zhou Qing holding it to deal with Song Yuan and Xuegu in Youhuang City. Why didn't she react at that time?

"Not dead, it turns out Li Si brother didn't die." Yuan Ya was full of happiness. She really thought he died in Song Yuan's hands.

Then Yan Xiaohu and Zhou Qing chased all the way to Youhuang City to take revenge.

"Yuan Ya!" Just then, Immortal Xuanyou appeared suddenly.

Yuan Ya saw this situation, hurriedly stood up, and saluted respectfully: "Greetings, Sect Master."

If Zhou Qing were here at this moment, he would definitely be able to see at a glance that the entry 【The savior who brought good news】 on top of Immortal Xuanyou's head had already been replaced by the two words 【Awesome】.

"Regarding the matter of Youhuang City last time, I need you to describe it in detail to several Supreme Elders again!" Immortal Xuanyou said seriously.

Yuan Ya took the order immediately, not daring to delay in the slightest, and left with Immortal Xuanyou.

"Zhou Qing!"

When the three of them came out of Yushan Hall not long after, a shout came from behind.

Zhou Qing turned his head and saw Gao Xuan walking toward them with a face full of smiles.

And the entry 【Deep blessings】 originally displayed on top of Gao Xuan's head had long been replaced by the six golden characters 【Cunning little fox】.

Zhou Qing and Yan Xiaohu saw this and had to salute.

My impression became a cunning little fox, is it saying that I have been hiding after my cultivation recovered, or is it about killing Song Yuan and Meng Xing one after another?

Zhou Qing was suspicious.

"Gao Shixiong, is there anything?" Mo Xingjian wiped his mouth and asked suspiciously.

Gao Xuan smiled slightly, his gaze falling on Zhou Qing, and said: "I have something to find Zhou Qing for."

Saying that, he handed over an image stone and continued: "The scene of you fighting Song Yuan in Youhuang City was recorded by someone. I have to say, your understanding of the 'Azure Thunder Sword Art' is not bad."

Zhou Qing felt embarrassed when he heard this.

So this "little fox" was talking about this matter, Zhou Qing muttered to himself.

Previously, Gao Xuan Shibo had mentioned to him that there was an old friend in the Jin Lei Zong guarding the Lei Chi, saying he could help smooth things over and let him go there to use the power of the Lei Chi to condense the Thunder-shaped Sword Embryo, which was much more effective than using Thunder-drawing Talismans anyway.

But he had been guarding against him and refused on the spot.

And he even lied that the "Azure Thunder Sword Art" was too difficult to practice and his talent was not good, so he had completely given up.

But when fighting Song Yuan, he used it a lot, and even used the first, second, and third styles one after another. You say, is it awkward at this moment?

Zhou Qing reached out to take the image stone with embarrassment, pretended to look at it, then smiled awkwardly, and explained stammeringly: "That, after all, it was gifted by the Supreme Elder, it would be too regrettable to throw it away, so I picked it up and practiced it again later..."

Gao Xuan looked at Zhou Qing's embarrassed appearance, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but lift a meaningful arc, and continued: "Analyzing from the image stone recorded by others, it can be seen that you currently have about three killing moves, which are poison, fire-type divine abilities, and thunder sword art."

Zhou Qing couldn't help but frown.

Seeing this, Gao Xuan continued unhurriedly: "As someone on the must-kill list, for those who are eyeing the bounty, or want to use this to become famous, as long as they defend against these three moves of yours, they can easily kill you, especially since you are only at the Golden Core realm."

Mo Xingjian listened from the side, and now he didn't speak anymore. After all, what Gao Xuan Shixiong said was the truth, and it was also what he was worried about.

And the fire-type divine ability Zhou Qing displayed, although it looked powerful, anyone with a discerning eye could see that it was absolutely extremely consuming of spiritual power. It should have been gifted by Second Grandfather.

Just now in Yushan Hall, Yan Xiaohu had also analyzed it. People on this list would definitely try their best to analyze all your trump cards and then think of countermeasures.

Moreover, in this world, there are countless treasures that can defend against fire and thunder sword energy.

Looking at Zhou Qing's thoughtful appearance, Gao Xuan paused, then said: "So, you must learn to hide your clumsiness, not expose all your means, and prepare a few more trump cards, so as to prevent accidents."

Zhou Qing looked up at Gao Xuan, not understanding what he wanted to say.

Just then, Gao Xuan reached out, and a seemingly dilapidated black jade slip appeared in his hand.

Just by taking a casual look, the spiritual power belonging to the "Azure Thunder Sword Art" in Zhou Qing's body began to circulate on its own.

He widened his eyes, full of disbelief.

Gao Xuan looked at Zhou Qing's reaction, the smile in the corners of his mouth became thicker, but he still asked unhurriedly: "The 'Azure Thunder Sword Art' doesn't just have three styles, but a total of four. Do you want it?"

Hearing Gao Xuan's words, Zhou Qing only felt his heart beating uncontrollably.

Four styles? How is this possible?

But the response produced by his body now couldn't be fake.

He knew better than anyone how powerful the first three styles were, and the difficulty of practicing was extremely great, even the Supreme Elder hadn't mastered them much.

At this time, Mo Xingjian and Yan Xiaohu were also looking at Gao Xuan and the ancient jade slip in his hand with disbelief.

Their eyes were full of shock and curiosity.

Zhou Qing couldn't help but swallow his saliva, his throat rolling, full of tension and expectation.

And Gao Xuan handed the jade slip in his hand directly, saying with a smile: "You can comprehend the first three styles in such a short time, your talent is comparable to a monster, but if you want to practice the fourth style, you really need the help of the Lei Chi."

Zhou Qing took the jade slip. After the initial excitement, a complex emotion gradually surged in his heart. He looked at Gao Xuan and saluted respectfully: "Thank you, Shibo!"

Gao Xuan still had that gentle smile, waved his hand and said: "Don't thank me, I also obtained this thing by chance, it can be considered fate with you, after all, ordinary people can't practice to the third style at all."

"As for the Lei Chi, I think your Master will worry about it. Alright, that's it, I'll go get busy first."

After Gao Xuan finished speaking, he turned and left.

Looking at Gao Xuan's departing back, Zhou Qing subconsciously looked at Master. For this fake Gao Xuan, he really couldn't figure him out.

Seeing this, Mo Xingjian sighed lightly and said slowly: "Perhaps, he really treats you as a nephew, especially the amazing talent you showed, which made him cherish talent."

Yan Xiaohu couldn't help but joke: "At this moment, I even suspect whether you smelled it wrong back then!"

Zhou Qing listened and just remained silent.

It couldn't be wrong.

Don't forget, the other party also had a daughter, Nannan, whom he identified through that rattle.

And the real Gao Xuan Shibo didn't even have a Dao companion.

The next moment, Mo Xingjian suddenly said: "Luo Xue is dead."

"What?" The two were full of disbelief after hearing this, never expecting to suddenly hear such bad news.

Mo Xingjian sighed heavily again, his tone full of regret and helplessness: "A month ago, she was killed by Sima Yaoji, one of the five great prodigies of the Blazing Flame Dao Palace, and Du Kui was also seriously injured because of this, barely saving his life."

"But after that, Du Kui completely lost his Dao heart, drinking all day long, living in a daze."

"Sigh, perhaps, it's because he knew you killed two of the five great prodigies, so Gao Xuan Shixiong was moved in his heart, and that's why he gifted you the fourth style of the 'Azure Thunder Sword Art'."

Zhou Qing and Yan Xiaohu looked at each other, and a sense of sorrow that the world is impermanent suddenly surged in their hearts.

Du Kui Shixiong and Luo Xue Shijie had saved his life, and he had seen Luo Xue Shijie many times before when he was at Shenyue Peak and Jinyang Peak.

She was so gentle and kind, her cultivation was high, and she grew up with Du Kui Shixiong as childhood sweethearts, with deep feelings, how could she suddenly...

For a time, the two really couldn't accept this cruel fact.

Mo Xingjian looked at their sad appearance and said lightly: "This is war!"

He didn't explain any further, but these five simple words made the two feel even heavier.

Yes, this is war, cruel and without any reason.

How could there be a reason that only allows you to swing your sword to kill the enemy, but the enemy cannot fight back to hurt your own people.

I wonder if Du Kui Shixiong can walk out of this huge blow?

And after Zhou Qing returned to his residence, his mood couldn't recover for a long time. The sound and smile of Luo Xue Shijie and the depressed appearance of Du Kui Shixiong kept appearing in his mind, and his heart was full of sadness.

In the end, he could only sigh helplessly, forcing himself to put away these emotions for the time being, and then looked at the jade slip in his hand.

He placed the jade slip between his brows and slowly poured his spiritual sense into it. He thought he would see the detailed cultivation content of the fourth style of the "Azure Thunder Sword Art," but he didn't expect that only an endless sea of thunder rolling and roaring appeared before his eyes.

Besides that, nothing else could be seen, as if there was only such a shocking and confusing scene in this jade slip.

"What's going on?" Zhou Qing frowned and looked at it carefully again, but the result was the same.

It was still the scene of the violent sea of thunder, and no substantial cultivation information could be found at all.

And at this time, he suddenly remembered what Gao Xuan Shibo had said before, that this fourth style needed the Lei Chi to practice.

Could it be that because of the lack of the Lei Chi's assistance, he couldn't see the specific cultivation content?

"Is it that evil?" Zhou Qing muttered to himself, his curiosity about this fourth style becoming more and more intense.

Just then, Mo Xingjian's voice suddenly came to his ears: "Prepare, go to the Jin Lei Zong the day after tomorrow, and borrow their Lei Chi!"

Zhou Qing's eyes lit up immediately.

Now there is a stable teleportation array between the three families, and going to the Jin Lei Zong is just a matter of a moment.

"Yes, Master!" Zhou Qing said excitedly.

Jin Lei Zong!

Beside a wide thunder crystal avenue, a large number of thunder spirit trees were planted, and the trunks and branches were flashing with light blue thunder light at all times.

And walking along the avenue, there was a majestic main hall, covered with a layer of golden thunder glazed tiles, extremely gorgeous and eye-catching in the sun.

At the four corners of the hall eaves, a string of thunder bells hung, containing small thunder spirit restrictions, used to monitor the surroundings.

Inside the main hall, Lei Wuji, the Sect Master of the Jin Lei Zong, frowned tightly, his expression solemn, constantly checking the messages coming back recently.

This war between the five sects had been going on for some time, but until now, they were surprised to find that they didn't seem to have truly understood the Blazing Flame Dao Palace at all.

Every time a veil was lifted, the strength and secrets revealed by the other party made them feel terrified.

It is said that a biting dog doesn't bark. During this period, the Tianji Sect also caused them no small losses silently.

"Lei Lie, three guests from the Taiqing Sect are coming to visit today, you are responsible for receiving them!"

Lei Wuji ordered a man standing under the stage while dealing with the news in his hand.

Lei Lie, his eldest disciple, Soul Formation Great Perfection cultivation, now also initially comprehended a certain realm of understanding. If there were no accidents, he would be able to step into the Divine Transformation realm within twenty years.

Lei Lie walked out and saluted immediately: "Yes, Shizun!"

For the Taiqing Sect, Lei Lie was still full of gratitude. When the internal strife of their Jin Lei Zong broke out and the situation was critical, it was the eighteen people from the Taiqing Sect who came to help, which helped the Jin Lei Zong quell the internal strife and stabilize the situation.

It can be said that if it weren't for the help of the Taiqing Sect, the Jin Lei Zong today would have changed its gate and ceased to exist.

After leaving the main hall, Lei Lie flew directly toward the back mountain with his sword.

A large number of thunder bamboo forests were planted here, and there were three Supreme Elders personally sitting in town.

This time, the small teleportation array purchased from the Wan Xiang Auction was set up here.

After Lei Lie entered the bamboo forest, several spiritual senses swept over him rapidly, ensuring there was nothing unusual, before letting him pass.

After about half an hour, the teleportation array in the very center flickered, and then three figures appeared.

Zhou Qing and Yan Xiaohu subconsciously rubbed their eyes, adapted to the surrounding light, and then curiously sized up the surrounding environment.

Seeing this, Lei Lie hurried forward and saluted respectfully: "Junior greets Mo Qianbei, Zhou Shidi, Yan Shidi!"

Mo Xingjian looked up and showed a smile: "So it's Lei Lie, it's been a long time!"

Lei Lie was humble and polite, smiling and responding: "Thanks to Mo Qianbei for missing me. Shizun originally wanted to come and receive you personally, but there are too many things happening in the sect recently, he really couldn't spare himself, and had no choice but to send Junior to come, hoping Qianbei won't blame him."

Mo Xingjian laughed: "Wuji brother is too polite. This time it was us who came to disturb you, and besides, the Taiqing Sect is the same. He can agree to lend us the Lei Chi to use, which has already made us very grateful, how dare we bother him again."

And Zhou Qing looked at Lei Lie, secretly surprised.

He keenly noticed that this person, like Senior Brother and Second Shijie, already had a layer of quite wonderful charm faintly appearing on his body, which was a precursor to stepping into the Divine Transformation realm.

And on the must-kill list, the third is Lei Lie, and forty-four Soul Formation realm people have died at his hands, only three less than Senior Brother, which is truly terrifying.

Lei Lie saluted respectfully: "Mo Qianbei, please follow me!"

After speaking, he also glanced at Zhou Qing inadvertently, and then led the way in front, taking the three of them toward the direction of the Lei Chi...

The Lei Chi is divided into naturally occurring and artificially created.

Naturally occurring goes without saying, it is completely the magical creation of nature, which can be met but not sought, and is the opportunity that countless cultivators dream of but find it difficult to reach.

And artificially created is to choose a suitable place, construct it with arrays, and finally after years of evolution, thunder power constantly gathers and concentrates in it, finally forming a very pure and powerful thunder spirit liquid.

It can be said that the Lei Chi is the most ideal place for all those who practice thunder-type techniques, not only gentle to a certain extent, but also causes less damage to the body.

And for the Jin Lei Zong, it is an artificially created Lei Chi, just like when the Taiqing Sect predecessors discovered the cave, they relied on its unique advantages to establish the sect on this basis.
