Chapter 11 Hearing the Eastern Expedition Again
Jiuzhen Tower is not in Fangshi, but in the bustling city center, a little far from Fangshi.
Everyone was talking and laughing and walked towards the city center; no, it should be said that it was just right to float away.
A hazy breeze rose under everyone's feet, about one foot above the ground, with an elegant posture, but a very fast forward speed. Zhang Hao followed his father Zhang Shengde and listened quietly to everyone's conversation.
Jiuzhen Tower is the top restaurant in Ninghe County. The so-called "Jiuzhen" refers to ingredients from: fields, rivers, underground, deep mountains, lakes, sea, sky, overseas, blessed land, and nine places.
Fields, rivers, and ordinary ingredients are mostly available locally and are artificially grown and cultivated.
Underground (caves, etc.), deep mountains and lakes are relatively excellent ingredients, and many of them require foundation-building hunting.
The sea and the sky are high-end ingredients, which often require the Golden Pill stage to take action.
Overseas, it comes from outside the continent of fertile soil; in other words, it is imported.
The most special place is that there are often some rare ingredients in the Cave Heaven and Blessing Land, and their effect is not inferior to that of elixirs.
Jiuzhen Building has nine floors, which corresponds to the ingredients one by one.
Zhang Hao sighed that behind the small Jiuzhen Building, there must be a huge network of relationships, and this Jiuzhen Building is by no means simple.
Jiuzhen Tower is nine feet tall and magnificent. As soon as everyone arrived, a maid dressed in dignified and beautiful clothes came out to greet him.
"Beautiful!" Zheng Changqiu said in Zhang Hao's ear, "But be careful. There was once a master of Jindan stage who used to touch his feet, and his cultivation was destroyed by the shopkeeper of Jiuzhen Building on the spot."
Zhang Hao was immediately shocked, "Thank you, Uncle Zheng."
Zheng Changqiu smiled and said, "But you can pursue it openly."
Zhang Hao:...Hey, pay attention to your image, Senior Zheng!
Zhu Yuantang, who was walking in the front, took out a red token and said to the maid: "Take us up to the eighth floor."
"Please treat me." The maid led the way with a sweet smile.
Zhang Hao was a little surprised. Is this membership system available? What Zhu Yuantang took out was obviously a membership card or something.
It seems that this is indeed an interesting world of practice.
After entering Jiuzhen Building, Zhang Hao opened his mouth wide in surprise. The interior of Jiuzhen Building is magnificent, and each floor is divided into two floors; the upper floor is a private room and the lower floor is a hall.
When passing by the lobby on the third floor, Zhang Hao actually saw Qian Shaoxian. Young Master Zhang Hao immediately greeted him "kindly" and sent an invitation, but the sound was a bit loud and the entire floor was attracted.
Qian Shaoxian snorted angrily; looking at Zhang Hao, Zhang Shengde's eyes were full of murderous intent.
"I know the guy who is having dinner with Qian Shaoxian!" Ji Duan, the purchasing manager of Jiuyang Sect, spoke, "That guy is Miao Feihu, the leader of the Feihu Mercenary Group, with a peak cultivation level in the Jindan stage, and he is cruel and ruthless.
Qian Shaoxian actually got involved with this guy!”
Zhang Hao and Zhang Shengde looked at each other.
Ji Bin's words are typical points to the point, and Miao Feihu deliberately explained it, and the meaning is self-evident.
When he arrived at the eighth floor and entered the private room, Zhu Yuantang seemed to ask casually: "Do you want help?"
Zhang Shengde was not polite either, "We are going to Zixu Temple tomorrow. If it is convenient, how about being a companion together?"
Zhu Yuantang suddenly felt embarrassed: "This... is a bit far away, if it is in the city..."
Mu Mingchen smiled: "Let's go with me, I'm going to return to my family tomorrow to discuss Xuan Tie's affairs. Zixu Temple just happened to go."
"That's so thankful." Zhang Shengde quickly thanked.
Delicious dishes are served as water, and there is a maid next to it to explain each dish.
"The sea sheath from the Emerald Sea was fumigated with purple yang grass for 12 hours. It is not only delicious, but also can remove elixirs from the body and nourish the five internal organs."
"The silver-ring snake from Yugao Mountain (yu, gao) is cooked with the spiritual spring of Liucui Mountain and the snow lotus, which has the effect of clearing the heart and reducing fire and relieving the liver; the snake gallbladder is particularly good.
Moreover, in the Qi Refining Period, the effect of snake gallbladder is ten times that of the "Little Ling Yuan Dan", and the medicinal properties are mild and there is no elixir poison."
"The purple jade Ganoderma lucidum from Fugui Mountain is steamed with the Snow Mountain Lingquan. It can repair hidden injuries in the body, nourish yin and yang, strengthen muscles and bones, and has good nourishing effects on fractures, hidden injuries, and meridian damage caused by excessive exercise."
"From the foundation-building ingredient from Danyang, the peak ingredients of the foundation-building, "Frozen Fish" (Frozen Yi), is cooked with the unique snow-mounted spiritual springs of Yuxue Villa, and blends a little bit of earthy milk.
Cultivators in the Foundation Establishment Stage and below can form a 'Marine Essence' in their dantian after eating it. Within one month, they can avoid a crisis of being possessed by the devil."
...
The maid's voice is sweet and the explanation is concise and clear, but it opens Zhang Hao's eyes. The world of cultivation is so distinctive that even the food is so distinctive.
Zhang Hao ate while practicing while enjoying the delicious food. As expected, he is worthy of being Jiuzhen Tower, and Zhang Hao wished he could even eat his tongue.
Not only that, Zhang Hao had just broken through to the seventh level of cultivation and quickly approached the limit of the seventh level. His cultivation was almost unable to suppress it.
"Come on, nephew, eat this!"
Zheng Changqiu put the silver-ring snake gall in front of Zhang Hao, "This snake gall can relieve fire and be used as a small spiritual elixir. You have just broken through the seventh level and still need to consolidate it. It is not beneficial to break through to the eighth level now."
A snake gallbladder lowered, and the restless true energy in his body was instantly calmed down, and Zhang Hao's cultivation actually retreated from the peak of the seventh level to the middle stage of the seventh level; after a slight pause, he continued to decline, and he lowered to the early stage of the seventh level in one breath.
But these true energy did not disappear out of thin air, but penetrated into the muscles, bones, blood and flesh, strengthening Zhang Hao's foundation.
Zhang Hao was amazed. His cultivation seemed to have decreased, but Zhang Hao keenly felt that his combat power had been improved, and his true energy became more solid and flexible.
This is the effect of the Lingyuan Pill. The Little Lingyuan Pill is mainly aimed at the Qi Refining Period.
At the same time, Zhang Hao also sighed that practice is inevitable without elixirs.
Mu Mingchen suddenly asked Zhang Hao: "Nephew, are you eighteen years old this year?"
"Yes, Uncle Mu."
"I'm the same age as our Yingying." Mu Mingchen revealed some information in his words.
As soon as these words came out, someone thought.
Zheng Changqiu raised his wine glass: "Hey, hey, what are you doing? Drink and drink! I'll do it first."
The atmosphere gradually rose, Ji Duan of the Nine Yang Sect suddenly asked Zhu Yuantang: "Old Zhu, ask you something. Did I hear that the country seems to be going to "expedition in the east". Is this true or false?"
Everyone's movements instantly frozen, and even Zhang Hao's eyes widened.
Is there a war?
Zhu Yuantang was shocked and hesitated.
Mu Mingchen immediately said: "I have heard that there are already people talking about it in our Anling County."
"Yes, what's the situation?" Ji Bien also asked.
Everyone's eyes focused on Zhu Yuantang.
Zhu Yuantang put down his chopsticks, thought for a while before saying, "This matter is nothing to say, it's just a bit complicated.
In fact, it is not just us who want to fight eastward, but more than a dozen other countries, including Danyang, Jinyang, Zhongshan, etc., all want to fight eastward."
"As we all know, countries in the west of the fertile land area have rich mineral resources, but lack of elixir resources. Almost all important medicinal materials need to be purchased from the East.
But Dongfang jammed our necks and raised the price arbitrarily. For an ordinary Peiyuan Pill, we need 20 spirit stones here. In Dongfang, there are only three or two spirit stones, or even lower!
There is also the foundation-building pill that is crucial to practice. The price of 100 spirit stones in the East is only available. We can sell it for more than 1,000 yuan and it is often out of stock!
Our lifeline of practice is controlled by the East.
So, we have to fight.
But... the situation is not optimistic, because the elixir is monopolized, and the number of Eastern Golden Elixir Stage is ten times that of us!
Fighting may fail. But if you don’t fight, you will inevitably decline!
The royal family is hesitating now."
