Eternal Tranquility

The waiter is just a mortal, and as he usually says, he is very knowledgeable about all kinds of spiritual food.

In the end, Liu Qinghuan ordered two ordinary dishes, another spiritual food that restored the wood spiritual energy, and a bowl of rice steamed with spiritual grain. Just this cost him four spiritual stones, and Liu Qinghuan secretly felt heartbroken.

Except for using some of the spiritual stones left by Xu Yuan when he reached Guan Jian, he was not willing to use them at ordinary times.

The food was served quickly, and Liu Qinghuan tasted the wood spiritual food. It is said that the wood spirit fruit and green lin leaves used were crisp and delicious. When they entered the stomach, they turned into a green aura, replenishing Liu Qinghuan's spiritual energy that was depleted due to the rush. .

While he was eating, he secretly paid attention to his surroundings.

In addition to himself, there were several other monks present, who were divided into four small groups and sat in each party to drink tea and dine.

Sitting next to the window on the left were three men in their twenties, all at the seventh or eighth level of Qi training, and they were talking in low voices.

Behind and to the right of them sat a man and a woman. The man is tall and majestic and has reached the sixth level of Qi training. The female is delicate and charming and has the seventh level of Qi training. The two obviously have a close relationship and occasionally joke.

Sitting in the middle is a middle-aged man dressed in brocade, who is at the eighth level of Qi training. He is shaking a fan slowly in his hand and drinking tea leisurely.

Sitting diagonally behind him was an old man and a child. The old man couldn't tell his age, but his cultivation level was the highest among everyone present, and he had reached the ninth level of Qi training. The boy next to him was only seven or eight years old, and his cultivation was already at the second level of Qi training.

On the right side, there was a young man sitting at a table alone. The young man was about fourteen or fifteen years old, and he had already passed the eighth level of Qi training at such a young age. At this time, he looked at the cup of tea in front of him expressionlessly, not knowing what he was thinking.

Liu Qinghuan couldn't help but sigh, he was really a frog in the well. In the past two years, he thought that his progress was not slow, but he didn't expect that every mountain is only higher than the next.

Halfway through the meal, two more people came in from outside. The middle-aged man in golden clothes saw them. He stood up and cupped his hands and said, "Fellow Daoist Chen, Fellow Daoist Wu."

The two people walked to the table and sat down. They exchanged greetings with each other. One of them, a rather rough-looking man, clapped his legs and sighed: "This time we did a loss-making business! Who would have thought that all the disciples of the Qingyu Sect would... Brave and good at fighting, extremely difficult to deal with!"

"I had known this, but my three brothers should not have taken this job from the Huangshan Sect. They almost lost their lives here!" The young man next to him nodded: "Although the Qingyu Sect was defeated, their Danjie Elder Master Shou Jing escaped with most of his elite disciples and disappeared for a while. Therefore, the Huangshan Sect actually said that we hired casual cultivators did not try our best and refused to pay the full amount of the spirit stones as agreed, only half! "

"What! Is this Huangshan Sect trying to bully others?" At this time, a man sitting by the window interjected. He stood up and first cupped his hands to the man who had spoken before, and then said: "I also wanted to go to the Huangshan Sect here. Is it true what Taoist fellow Taoist said is true?”

As soon as these words came out, several people made peace with each other. It seemed that they were all casual cultivators hired by the Huangshan Sect to deal with the Qingyu Sect.

"That's right!" The rugged man stood up and said, "The Huangshan Sect, relying on the support of the Shaoyang Sect behind them, originally wanted to steal the newly discovered spiritual stone mine of the Jade Sect. Unexpectedly, the disciples of the Jade Sect all have powerful spells and sharp attacks. , they were unable to fight back for a while, and then they invited me to wait for the casual cultivators to help. Who would have thought that they would refuse to admit it after it was done? I can't bear this tone!"

Liu Qinghuan listened quietly to everyone's conversation and slowly figured out the clues.

It turns out that the cause of this war between the two factions was that the Qingyu Sect discovered a new spiritual stone mine in the Hengwu Mountains where the two factions intersected. Needless to say, the preciousness of Lingshi mines goes without saying to the Xiuxian sect. Even if only a small mine with small reserves was discovered this time, the Huangshan sect would not hesitate to start a war over it.

I just didn't expect that the Qingyu Sect was extremely difficult to attack. Although the Huangshan Sect narrowly won, he also lost a tooth, and his disciples suffered numerous casualties.

After figuring out the general ins and outs, Liu Qinghuan was too lazy to join in the fun and called the waiter after eating.

The waiter led him to the back. Unexpectedly, the back of this building was huge. There were independent courtyards, not guest rooms as Liu Qinghuan thought. They were all covered in a hazy white mist, which made people feel uncomfortable. Can't see clearly. The courtyards are separated by small gardens, with green flowers and trees and fountains. The layout is very elegant. Each small courtyard is hidden in it, not disturbing each other, and extremely quiet.

The waiter led him to the front of a courtyard and handed him a jade plaque, saying it was the prohibition token for this courtyard.

Liu Qinghuan took it, thought about it and poured his spiritual energy into it, then waved it towards the white mist in front of him. I saw a ray of white light shooting out from the jade tablet, and a light hole appeared in the white mist, just enough for people to pass through.

"In this case, the younger one will leave first." The waiter who led the way bowed to him and said: "Master Immortal can enjoy everything in the courtyard. If you want to have a meal, you can ring the bell in the courtyard and someone will bring you a sumptuous meal. You can also dine in the lobby in front. If If you have any other requests, you can also ring the bell and we will do our best to meet the requirements of the immortal master."

Liu Qinghuan nodded to him, turned around and entered the courtyard, and the light hole behind him gradually disappeared.

I saw that the courtyard was full of wisteria flowers, which were blooming brilliantly at this time, and a large cloud-like purple seemed to be burning. There are three houses with green walls and black tiles in the front. Liu Qinghuan pushed open the door of the main house. Opposite the door was a huanghuali wood table with a celadon tea set and an incense burner on the wall. There were three wooden backrest chairs with tables on each side. A watery yellow rosewood. The two rooms on the left and right are a study room and a bedroom. There is a quiet room behind the study room. The floor is covered with exquisite carpets and there is a green futon.

Liu Qinghuan felt quite tired after using her spiritual power to travel for two consecutive days, so she went to the bedroom and fell asleep. She did not wake up until the next day.

In the next few days, he spent most of his time practicing in the quiet room. Occasionally he went to the front hall to sit, and once again met the middle-aged people he saw that day. It's just that the faces of several of them are not very good-looking, and it is obvious that the matter of going to the Huangshan Sect to ask for salary is not going well.

He had also thought about whether to find the Fu family, but he had already embarked on the path of cultivating immortality and it was not appropriate to get involved with the secular world anymore. Secondly, he has almost repaid the kindness he owes to the Fu family. They met by chance, and they have settled down to their fate from now on. If they meet again by chance in the future, if he can do what he can, he will naturally help.

Five days later, Liu Qinghuan went to pick up the newly made clothes early in the morning, looked at the map, and headed east out of the city.

Liu Qinghuan's destination, Haoyuan City, is extremely far away from Tongda City. It is located in the middle of Yunmengze Continent, adjacent to Qushang Swamp. It is the largest city of casual cultivators in the world of immortality. He was not in a hurry. The distance was too far and he couldn't be in a hurry, so he used Skywalker to rush on the road during the day and found a secluded place to meditate at night.

On this day, while passing through a forest, two people came out from behind the big tree in front of them, blocking Liu Qinghuan's way.

Liu Qinghuan's heart trembled. He had seen these two people before. They were the man and woman at the table next to him when he had dinner at Huide Building on his first day. The man was rugged and tall, with a figure like a bear. The woman was enchanting, twisting her waist and walking towards Liu Qinghuan with a smile:

"My little fellow Daoist, please tell me and my wife to wait! Sister, I have been waiting here for three days, and my little brother has just arrived. The journey is too slow." After saying this, he gave Liu Qinghuan a wink.
