ninety thousand miles

Chapter 434 Calculation
After entering the restaurant and sitting down, Mu Ling went to the kitchen to order food.

Li Chuan took a sip of tea and broke the silence by saying, "It was the same last time. Senior Brother Mu insisted on ordering many dishes that were not on the menu. They were all delicious."

Elder Mi continued, "He put all his thoughts into these things, which is why others got the magic sword."

Li Chuan said: "If he had obtained the magic sword, then maybe he wouldn't have set foot on the sword formation."

Elder Mi thought for a moment and said, "Yes, he is indeed more suited to the sword formation." After saying that, he looked at Li Chuan carefully again.

Li Chuan asked: "What's wrong?"

Elder Mi asked, "How long do you plan to stay here?"

Li Chuan replied: "I don't know either. It depends on the situation."

Elder Mi said: "Before you leave, go to Sword Island and choose a sword to take with you."

"This... I don't know swordsmanship, so I probably can't learn it." Li Chuan said.

"Do you have a sword you like?" asked Elder Mi.

"Yes." Li Chuan admitted.

"That's all." said Elder Mi.

Li Chuan tried to figure out what Elder Mi meant and asked, "Do you think I can use a sword?"

Elder Mi replied: "It's not difficult to use a sword. You can just draw the sword out of its sheath and stab the target. Don't you know how to do that?"

"That's right, but..." Li Chuan was still a little hesitant.

Elder Mi asked again: "Do you know how to use the magic weapon?"

"I guess I can." Li Chuan said.

Elder Mi said, "Isn't the sword a magic weapon?"

"Uh..." Li Chuan was choked for a moment.

Elder Mi said, "Then it's settled."

After hearing what Elder Mi said, Li Chuan stopped being pretentious and said, "Thank you, Elder Mi." Then he asked, "I have been wandering around Sword Island these days and have seen a lot of swords. There are a few that I really like at first sight. Elder Mi, how do you think I should choose?"

Elder Mi said: "Those that can be lifted, pulled out, waved easily and are pleasing to the eye."

"I understand." Li Chuan expressed his acceptance.

As they were talking, Mu Ling walked in. After he sat down, he said, "Just now, outside, a demon cultivator had a conflict with the disciples of Xuanyue Sect. Fortunately, the patrol from the Four Gods Palace came quickly, otherwise we might not be able to have this meal."

After hearing this, Li Chuan looked out the window and saw some people gathered outside. He then recognized the demon cultivator standing in the middle. It was the pointy-faced demon girl. So he asked, "How did the conflict start?"

Mu Ling said: "From what I heard, she was ambushed by those two disciples while she was basking in the sun a few days ago. She memorized their auras and searched for them for a few days before finally finding them."

"Why did the disciples of Xuanyue Sect want to attack her?" Li Chuan was puzzled.

Elder Mi said, "Let's make the elixir."

"But this is the Four Gods Palace of Tianju Mountain. The disciples who can follow Master Chu should all be inner disciples. They don't lack elixirs, right?" Li Chuan asked puzzledly: "Don't they know the rules of the Four Gods Palace?"

He stood up and said, "I recognize that demon cultivator. I'll go down and take a look."

Seeing Li Chuan walk out of the box, Mu Ling also stood up and planned to follow him, but Elder Mi stopped him: "You are from the Lingchuan sect, don't get involved."

"Why?" Mu Ling asked in confusion, "Brother Li is just a mortal. What if they start fighting again and I get affected?"

Elder Mi said expressionlessly: "It's impossible, and I'm here."

"That snake demon has a different bloodline. Those two Xuanyue Sect disciples might be the ones being plotted against." Li Chuan walked downstairs quickly and walked out of the restaurant. At this time, the crowd had begun to disperse. He walked effortlessly behind the pointed-faced demon and heard the Four Gods Palace monks in patrol uniforms say to the two Xuanyue Sect disciples: "I don't care what the rules of your Xuanyue Sect are. This is the Four Gods Palace, and we must abide by the rules of the Four Gods Palace. Do you choose to work in the medicine garden for half a month, or leave Tianju Mountain?"

The two Xuanyue Sect disciples showed resentment on their faces. Li Chuan noticed that their postures were not natural, and they were probably controlled by an invisible force.

Sure enough, the two struggled for a few times but failed to break free. Finally, they made a choice and said, "Let's go to the medicine garden."

Then, the Four Gods Palace monk turned to the pointy-faced banshee and said, "They started it first, but there are other people in the restaurant. You shouldn't provoke a conflict here. You should also go and work for three days."

The pointy-faced witch agreed readily and said, "Okay, I'll report to Elder Li tomorrow."

After the Four Gods Palace monks took the Xuanyue Sect disciples away, the pointed-faced banshee turned around. When she saw Li Chuan, she breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Mr. Li, it's you."

Li Chuan pointed to the restaurant and said, "I'm having dinner here."

"That's a coincidence," the pointed-faced banshee said, "In the past few days, quite a few disciples from the Tianyu Sect and Xuanyue Sect have come. I was a little curious, so I looked at them a few more times, but I didn't expect that I would be targeted by them. Do you know what they are doing here?"

"Maybe we can exchange ideas about spiritual practice?" Li Chuan said.

"Oh, I'm looking for you." The pointed-faced witch said, "My sister is willing to see you. When you are free, come with me."

After hearing this, Li Chuan hesitated and asked, "Can she come here?"

The witch said: "Do you want to see me or not? If you do, follow me. Do you think we will eat you?"

"I'm really scared." Li Chuan admitted.

The demon spirit wants to be tied up. The demon's sister worked for Prince Su before, so maybe she is working for the demon spirit now.

Then you must not be impatient.

Li Chuan said, "How about you invite her here so we can have a meal and chat? Or go to the tea stall?"

The pointy-faced witch didn't insist and said, "Then I'll talk to her next time I see her. But I can't promise."

"Thank you for your hard work, sister." said Li Chuan.

After chatting for a few more words, the pointed-faced witch left, and Li Chuan returned to the restaurant. After pushing open the door of the private room, he saw a fat, black snake coiled on the table.

Li Chuan held onto the door frame to steady himself.

At this time, Mu Ling turned around and called him, saying, "Brother Li, you are back. There are no other spirit beasts today, only this nine-striped golden ring snake."

Li Chuan observed it carefully and found that the snake was covered with a layer of black charcoal, which meant it was probably fully cooked. He walked back to his seat, and Mu Ling cut a piece and put it in Li Chuan's bowl. Li Chuan lowered his head and saw the snow-white snake meat in the black charcoal, and a strange fragrance came to his nose.

He ate a piece and found it tender, fresh and delicious.

After seeing Li Chuan's expression, Mu Ling said, "Not bad, right?"

Li Chuan nodded.

"Try this wine again." Mu Ling poured Li Chuan more wine.

Li Chuan looked at the dark green liquid in the wine glass, hesitated for a moment, took a sip, and then drank it all in one gulp.

"How is it?" Mu Ling asked.

Li Chuan replied: "Good meat, good wine."

Afterwards, the three of them started chatting while eating, and they kept eating and drinking until late at night. Elder Mi then sent the drunk Li Chuan and the increasingly talkative Mu Ling back to their residence.

Li Chuan remembered that he fell asleep after thanking Elder Mi. While sleeping, he saw a full moon lying next to him.
