Chapter 467 Dream Journey Flying Boat
For the first time, Lu Ang knew that the Confucian flying boats were not just the large ones that could carry cargo and people, but also the more advanced Dream Travel flying boats.

These Dream Travel flying boats do not have wide and full cargo holds. Instead, they have pavilions and towers wrapped in colorful clouds. It can be said that it is a luxurious restaurant floating in the sky and capable of sailing thousands of miles.

Such a high-end flying boat is certainly not for those poor independent cultivators. A ticket alone costs 80 high-quality spirit stones, which is shockingly expensive.

Of course, so many spirit stones were not wasted in vain. The clouds outside the flying boat were not actually water vapor, but liquefied spiritual energy. Under the mobilization of the complicated formation, it continuously provided abundant spiritual energy to the building. Even outside the room, there was a fifth-level spiritual energy, and several private rooms on the top floor could reach the sixth level, allowing the Return to Void cultivators to ensure their daily practice.

Lu Ang was lucky. When he arrived at Yulin Fairy City, there happened to be a Dream Travel Flying Boat docked there, soliciting customers.

Out of curiosity, he used the magical power of "Fake Form" to transform himself into a burly man with a big beard, changed his name to "Yan Chixia", bought a ticket and boarded this dream travel flying boat that looked like a fairy palace.

This Dream Journey Flying Boat really lived up to its reputation. It was magnificently decorated, with thick and soft carpets, and walls covered with moving embroidery. In the chandelier on the ceiling were firebirds sealed in colored glaze, reflecting all kinds of colors as they struggled and danced.

The equipment is extremely advanced. Even the floors are not connected by stairs, but by short-distance teleportation arrays. You can reach other floors instantly by standing on them.

The restaurant is a complete buffet. Countless spiritual foods are floating in the air, flashing different lights, with introduction text displayed next to them. They come when you call and go when you wave. No matter how much you eat, they will be served in time.

There are various performances on the eighth floor: fairies dancing in the sky, barbarians fighting with blood and flesh, weirdos changing light and shadow, old monks telling stories of the past and present...

Of course, there were also the beautiful girls in Nuanchu Pavilion. Lu Ang even saw quite a few half-demons there. They were of different races and styles, but all of them were breathtakingly beautiful without exception.

After inquiring, Lu Ang learned that the Confucian School had only built three of these Dream Journey Flying Boats in total. Due to the huge manufacturing and maintenance costs, they were not regular operating flying boats and were only used on rare occasions.

The purpose of this appearance is very simple, it is for the genius competition of the three sects of Taoism, Buddhism and Confucianism in one year. This flying boat is specially here to pick up the genius from Yulin Immortal Sect as a sign of respect, and to pick up some guests and recover consumption.

I asked about the Genius Competition again. This is one of the grandest events in the entire human cultivation world, held once every hundred years. It is co-hosted by the three top sects of Taoism, Buddhism and Confucianism, and invites geniuses under the age of 100 from all major sects to participate, and the final winner is decided through a battle of wits.

Although the final champions often only come from the top few sects, for other sects, if they can get a good name, it is also a channel to publicize the strength of the sect and demonstrate the sect's heritage.

For some sects, it is still a means to resolve conflicts between sects. After all, the power of the battles between high-level cultivators is often devastating, and the aftermath of the battles has destroyed many small fairyland areas.

The destruction of a small fairyland is fine, it will only hurt the harmony of heaven and lose some merits. But now the demons are strong and there is external trouble. As the top military force of the human race, they naturally have to reduce fighting as much as possible and preserve their strength.

Letting the disciples decide the solution to the conflict through fighting is the method with the least loss.

To be honest, Lu Ang was very interested in this competition. Of course, he didn't want to participate, but he wanted to see what the other geniuses in the world of immortal cultivation were like. He thought there should be quite a few geniuses at the Dao body level among them, and their combat power was indeed very curious.

I think the competition among these geniuses will definitely be much more exciting than the Qingxiao competition in the Baise Domain.

After looking at the itinerary of the flying boat, it will next go all the way to the nearby Poison Pool Domain, Round Mountain Domain, Nightmare Domain... then to the East Emperor Domain, Mechanical Domain... and finally, it will arrive at the venue of this year's Tianjiao Competition, the center of Brahma Gate: Wanfo Domain.

The venue is rotated. The last time it was the Taoist Donghuang Domain, and the time before that it was the Confucian Haoran Domain. The purpose is to ensure fairness as much as possible.

After figuring out what was going on and appreciating the beautiful and melodious voice of the Lark Fairy on the stage for a while, Lu Ang went downstairs, walked into the buffet restaurant, and entered a free private room called "Bamboo Forest Elegance".

Unlike the tall and spacious hall outside with all kinds of food floating in it, as soon as Lu Ang walked into the box, he felt that he was really in a bamboo forest. Looking around, there were tall and dense bamboos everywhere, making rustling sounds as the breeze blew.

There is a small stream around the bamboo forest, which is only about ten feet wide and flows slowly. Every few meters above the stream, there is an emerald green plate floating on it. On the plates are various spiritual delicacies. Many people are already sitting on the ground by the stream, grabbing the plates at random and starting to eat.

Ever since he awakened his magical power of "Spirit Tongue", Lu Ang has been very interested in enjoying spiritual food.

It's not just because he can taste the richer flavors in spiritual food, but after trying the cooking skills of several hired spiritual chefs in the sect many times, Lu Ang discovered that he can sense the skills of this spiritual chef to a certain extent through this magical power, and there is a high probability that he can deduce the recipe!
You know, two recipes are equivalent to a silver-level lottery. Eating more food outside and summarizing more spiritual food recipes to bring back can also increase the foundation of the sect.

Food is the most important thing for people. If the sect's spiritual food is abundant and the disciples and elders eat well, their combat effectiveness can also be increased. After all, frying sugar color for braised pork during marches and battles is not in vain.

However, this magical power is good, but it is also too good. In addition to the skills of making spiritual food, it can also taste the state of mind of the spiritual chef himself, their emotions, their troubles, their desires...

If you feel it too much, you will feel a little bored. After all, Lu Ang doesn't have voyeurism, so why does he know the purpose of these things?

Finding a seat upstream and sitting on the ground, Lu Ang picked up the first plate. This was a bamboo leaf delicacy that matched the style of the room. In the emerald green bamboo tube were shiny slices of meat and fragrant glutinous rice, dotted with bits of chopped vegetables. It looked very appetizing, and the grade was also of the fourth-grade upper grade, with a strong aura.

As soon as he picked it up, the plate turned into water and merged into the stream, leaving only the bamboo tube in Lu Ang's hand.

The wizard's hand moved, and a small ball of glutinous rice wrapped in a piece of meat fell into Lu Ang's mouth.

The fragrance of oil and bamboo leaves blends together and explodes in the mouth, making people feel as if they see little black pigs running in the green bamboo forest, playing happily, occasionally arching out white jade bamboo shoots and eating happily...

What a skill! It can actually create a picture directly in people's minds! So real, so lifelike! As if seeing it in person!

Lu Ang didn't know much about the art of spiritual cooking, but there were several fourth-level spiritual chefs in the sect. There was no doubt that the skills of these fourth-level spiritual chefs could not achieve this effect! Is it fifth-level? Or sixth-level? It really deserves to be one of the top gold-consuming caves in the world of cultivation. There are indeed some tricks!

I heard that there is a branch of Confucianism that believes in the concept of "never tire of fine food, never tire of delicate meat" and specializes in studying the art of spiritual cooking. I'm afraid this mysterious spiritual chef is also the descendant of this lineage?

One bite after another, Lu Ang used his Spirit Tongue to the fullest, savoring the spiritual cooking skills in this bamboo tube rice, the delicate control of wood and fire spiritual powers, the mellow transformation of the earthy smell of pork, the blending of the two spiritual powers of fat seeping into the rice grains...

The recipe has been basically restored, but there is still a long way to go before it can be put into practice. I can only take out a jade slip and stick it to my forehead to record all my insights.

As for the chef's own emotions and thoughts, they were also very simple. He was a little angry and a little anxious. He was angry at the incompetence of his disciples, and anxious to know whether his great-grandson could be promoted to the inner sect in the sect competition.

These are all very common emotions, nothing much to say. After eating, I just threw the bamboo tube away, and it turned into a green breeze, which passed by and turned into a bamboo leaf on the bamboo not far away.

This kind of natural change is indeed quite interesting and ingenious. I wonder if this set of magical instruments was made by the Confucian sect themselves or ordered from the Mechanical Domain.

Without hesitation, Lu Ang picked up another square piece of tofu that looked like white jade...

He ate more than twenty servings of fourth-level spiritual food in a row. Although he had the gluttonous pattern and could have eaten another two hundred servings, in order not to attract too much attention, Lu Ang decided to eat one more serving and then return to his room to practice.

After all, the journey is long and there is still a lot of time to go. There are eight free boxes, nine paid boxes, and the hall outside, so we can eat in them all.

For the last dish, Lu Ang chose a fourth-level dessert called "Purple Jade Crystal Cake". According to the introduction, it is made of fourth-level purple jade grapes and frozen chalcedony, and it looks similar to jelly pudding.

The taste is still as delicious as ever, a mixture of sweetness and coolness. The cool air rushes straight to the top of the head, sweeping away the heat brought by the previous meal. The whole body feels indescribably refreshed, and even the mood becomes calmer and more comfortable.

However, after just chewing a few times and before swallowing it, Lu Ang frowned.

The reason is not the taste, but the chef who made this "Purple Jade Crystal Cake"!

The previous twenty or so dishes were all hot dishes, prepared by three different chefs, all of whom had superb cooking skills.

The chef of "Purple Jade Crystal Cake" is a new chef. Lu Ang can clearly sense that she is a woman, a woman with a very elegant temperament, and her skills are second only to the one who cooks bamboo tube rice.

There was nothing wrong with the workmanship, the materials were of high quality, the techniques were skilled, there was no poison, and no corners were cut, but this woman's emotion was different, it was a naked hatred!
And it's not directed at one person, but at everyone! She is filled with deep hatred and malice towards all human beings!
From this malice, Lu Ang also tasted a very faint trace of evil!
Just like the magic skills like "Bloodthirsty Kung Fu" and the magic tools like "Bone Relics", the kind of demonic feeling they bring to him!
Moreover, this bit of magic feels even purer than the above two!
Lu Ang decisively spat out the food in his mouth.

Something is wrong! Something is very wrong! There is something wrong with this chef!
If my guess is correct, this person should have practiced a magic skill! And she has practiced it to a very deep level! Judging from her skill level, she should be a fifth-level spiritual chef, which means she is most likely a spiritual master!
There are many people in the human race who practice magic, but they are all hated by everyone, at least there are very few of them in the inland area of ​​the human race.

Once they show their heads, they will surely be strangled by the surrounding sects. After all, no one wants their outstanding disciples or themselves to be suddenly sucked of blood, have bones pulled out, and have their souls devoured.

Generally speaking, those who practice magic skills are usually found on the border between humans and demons. The many fairy realms there are in great chaos. There are many powerful magic sects that are sheltered under the rule of the demons, and among them there are many half-demons that are hybrids of humans and demons.

Humans cannot practice the magic techniques of the demons, and demons cannot practice the magic techniques of humans. However, half-demons are different. They can often practice the techniques of both sides. Many magic techniques were created by these half-demons.

There is no way. After all, people in the world of immortal cultivation are born unequal. If a person only has inferior or low-quality spiritual roots, it will be difficult for him to cultivate. Even if he cultivates to the upper limit of his talent, he will not be able to make any further progress and can only wait to die of old age. Such a person will never be willing to accept this.

They will try every possible way to break through the realm and try to survive, so there are always a lot of people who go to these evil sects every year.

It is said that the righteous sects had previously tried to build an interception line in some fairylands next to the human-demon border. Unfortunately, the entire border was too long, and the demons would attack from time to time, swallowing up one or two small fairylands. After thousands of years of fighting between the two sides, the defense line was abandoned, making it the final destination for the wandering cultivators who were unable to advance in their realm.

But how could a magic cultivator of the Divine Transformation level sneak into this Dream Journey Flying Boat? What do the people of the Confucian School eat? Don't they do political review when hiring chefs?

Moreover, even if he cultivated magic, it was understandable that he had such deep hatred for everyone. Even if he cultivated the bloodthirsty, bone-stealing, and soul-devouring magic skills, shouldn't he be greedy for other humans?

What does it mean to hate everyone? Are you a death warrior, planning to transform into a self-destructing truck and take the entire flying boat with you?
In order to eliminate as many human geniuses as possible and make them die young, this is obviously in the interests of the demons. Although there is no large-scale war between humans and demons, why not use this low-cost method to cause trouble to the other side?

There is a Fanxu on the top floor of the flying boat. I heard before that Yulin Immortal City has sent two Fanxu elders this time, and they are living on the top floor with two geniuses from the sect!
Before, this Dream Journey Flying Boat should have passed through some large immortal realms and picked up some accompanying elders and geniuses from large sects. There should be no shortage of Return to the Void combat power on the flying boat.

Together with the original Confucian guards on the flying boat and so many Return to the Void, even if there are some other demon cultivators hiding on the flying boat, it should not be difficult to deal with them.

But should I report it?
They shouldn't be able to see through my "False Form" ability, and my "Spiritual Tongue" ability is not impossible to be exposed, so I can explain it away...

But, this doesn't seem to be of any benefit to me...

I have the spatial phase and chaos in my body, so why should I be afraid of the evil cultivators?
