The head master has a new female apprentice

Chapter 143 I, Yan Xiaohu, would rather starve to death, die outside, or leave here than eat this thing (6k)

"Order whatever you want, the master has money!"

As soon as he entered the box, Mo Xingjian was in a good mood and said with a wave of his hand.

When Yan Xiaohu heard this, he immediately became alert and hurriedly took the menu. Just as he was about to order, the head of Yushantang walked in with a smile.

"Greetings, Senior Brother Mo. Oh, you're incredibly lucky! You're the thousandth group of customers arriving at the Jade Kitchen today, so today's meal is all free. Just order as much as you want, don't hesitate!"

The head of Yushan Hall said with a smile on his face.

When the three heard this, they were stunned at first, and then they showed ecstasy on their faces. There was actually such a good thing.

"Then I won't be polite!" Yan Xiaohu said excitedly. He had been thinking about some dishes in Yushantang for a long time, but he had never been willing to order them because they were too expensive. This time, he could finally taste them to his heart's content.

At this moment, the head of the Jade Kitchen came over to Zhou Qing with a grin, patted his storage bag, and took out a huge banner. He said expectantly, "Junior Brother Zhou, could you please sign this for me?"

Zhou Qing took a closer look and saw four large characters written in a flamboyant style on the banner: "It's so delicious."

This is to let me advertise for Yushantang.

He smiled helplessly, but after all, one should be grateful for what one has received, and the food in Yushantang was indeed delicious, so he had no choice but to sign his name in the lower right corner.

Seeing this, Yan Xiaohu, who was standing by, was stunned for a moment, then leaned back in his chair with a frustrated look on his face.

What do you mean by 1,000 people? What do you mean by free meals?
I bet you can figure it out.

I, Yan Xiaohu, would rather starve to death, die outside, and leave here, than eat the charity food given by your Yushan Hall.

…………

"It smells so good! Oh, Master, please try this braised trout! It's absolutely delicious!"

Yan Xiaohu was eating heartily while greeting Mo Xingjian excitedly. His mouth was so full that his speech was a little unclear.

"Old Four, these are the Glazed Crystal Shrimp Balls. I ordered them specially. Just this one is worth a mid-grade spirit stone."

"Wow, so this is Lingyuan Jade Dew Soup. It smells so good. Let me try it first to see what's in it. It's so expensive."

"Master, please give me another plate of this Emerald Lingyun Glutinous Rice, no, three plates, and pour more honey on it."

…………

In the private room, plate after plate of delicious spiritual dishes were brought in one after another. Yan Xiaohu ate with great relish, his mouth never stopping. His originally round face was now bulging with cheeks.

Even Mo Xingjian was extremely satisfied with the meal, with a comfortable smile on his face. Today, thanks to Zhou Qing, he had a much better meal.

"Third Brother, did we order too much? This meal will require at least four or five high-grade spirit stones, right?" Zhou Qing asked worriedly while eating.

Even though it's free, it's still the hall master's uncle who paid for the meal out of his own pocket. It's not good to eat too much.

Yan Xiaohu waved his hand nonchalantly and said, "Don't worry, there's plenty of food in the Jade Kitchen. Besides, you can pack up any leftovers. It would be a shame to waste such delicious food. This is a rare opportunity, so of course I have to eat more."

Soon after, the three of them had eaten so much that their bellies were full. They lay lazily on the chairs, rubbing their bellies contentedly and burping loudly. They felt so comfortable.

I felt so full. After these medicinal foods containing spiritual power entered my body, the spiritual power was flowing wildly in my limbs and bones. Even the three of them were emitting a special fragrance all over their bodies.

Mo Xingjian picked his teeth, paused, and said, "Although I'm proud of you, once this must-kill list comes out, many people will definitely target you. Some of them want to earn the bounty, but many more will use this opportunity to become famous. You better be careful from now on."

Zhou Qing nodded. He was well aware of this. This list was like a piece of fat meat, attracting countless pairs of eager eyes. He would have to be more careful in the days to come.

After eating and drinking his fill, Yan Xiaohu finally came to his senses. He burped again and said, "That's not right. I've summarized it and there are nine major dangers."

The two of them immediately looked at him.

Yan Xiaohu lazily analyzed, "First, you can't run around without any scruples anymore. Second, as Master said, many people are watching you become rich and famous. Third, no one dares to team up with you, or even stay with you. After all, everyone is afraid of being caught in the crossfire."

"Fourth, you're under scrutiny wherever you go, with countless spies constantly reporting your whereabouts. You have no privacy at all. Fifth, your every move, even your hidden cards, can be uncovered, allowing them to find ways to counter them. Just like how that Blood Bone Elder, after returning, accused you of using poison and being sinister and cunning."

"Sixth, I haven't decided on sixth yet; seventh, everyone is talking about it now; eighth, you all know it; and I don't need to tell you about ninth."

Mo Xingjian: “…”

Zhou Qing: "..."

Qingyu Immortal Sect!

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

Wasn't it Li Si who killed that pervert Meng Xing? How could it be blamed on Junior Brother Zhou Qing?

Soon, Yuan Ya recalled what happened that day and seemed to understand a little.

No wonder Zhou Qing chose to get close to Meng Xing at the beginning, using a sneak attack strategy to seriously injure him first, and then use secret techniques to improve his cultivation to chase him down. It turned out that there was an obvious gap in cultivation between the two, and he had to do this.

And I was stupid enough. I used the rusty broken sword when I attacked Meng Xing. Later in Youhuang City, I saw Zhou Qing using it to deal with Song Yuan and Xue Gu. Why didn't I react at that time?

"He's not dead. It turns out that Brother Li Si is not dead." Yuan Ya's face was full of joy. She really thought that he died at the hands of Song Yuan.

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

"Yuan Ya!" At this moment, Fairy Xuanyou suddenly appeared.

Seeing this, Yuan Ya quickly stood up and bowed respectfully, saying, "Greetings, Sect Master."

If Zhou Qing were here at this moment, he would definitely be able to see at a glance that the original entry above Fairy Xuanyou's head, which originally read "Savior who brings good news", had now changed to "Awesome".

"Regarding what happened in Youhuang City last time, you need to explain it in detail to several supreme elders!" Fairy Xuanyou said with a serious expression.

Yuan Ya immediately accepted the order and without any delay, she followed Fairy Xuanyou away.

…………

"Zhou Qing!"

Not long after the three of them came out of the Jade Kitchen, a shout suddenly came from behind them.

Zhou Qing turned around and saw Gao Xuan walking towards them with a smile on his face.

The entry note "Deep Blessings" that originally appeared above Gao Xuan's head had now been replaced by six large golden characters: "Cunning Little Fox".

Seeing this, Zhou Qing and Yan Xiaohu had no choice but to salute.

The impression he had of me was that of a cunning little fox. Was he referring to the fact that I had been hiding since my cultivation level recovered, or was he referring to the fact that I had killed Song Yuan and Meng Xing one after another?

Zhou Qing was suspicious.

"Senior Brother Gao, is there something wrong?" Mo Xingjian wiped his mouth and asked in confusion.

Gao Xuan smiled slightly, his eyes fell on Zhou Qing, and said, "I have something to ask Zhou Qing."

As he spoke, he handed over an image stone and continued, "The scene of you fighting Song Yuan in Youhuang City was recorded. I have to say that you have a good understanding of the Cang Lei Sword Technique."

When Zhou Qing heard this, he suddenly felt embarrassed.

It turned out that this "little fox" was talking about this matter. Zhou Qing secretly groaned in his heart.

Uncle-master Gao Xuan had mentioned to him before that there was an old friend in the Jinlei Sect who was guarding the Thunder Pool, and that he could help smooth things over so that he could go over and use the power of the Thunder Pool to condense a Thunder-shaped sword embryo. Anyway, it would be much better than using a Thunder-attracting Talisman.

But I was always on guard against him and refused on the spot.

He also lied that the "Cang Lei Sword Technique" was too difficult to practice, and that he had no talent, so he had completely given up.

But when fighting against Song Yuan, he used it a lot, and used the first, second and third moves consecutively. Tell me, is it awkward at this moment?

Zhou Qing awkwardly reached out to take the image stone, pretending to look at it. Then, with a wry smile, hesitantly explained, "Well, it was a gift from the Grand Elder after all. It would have been a shame to throw it away, so I picked it up and practiced with it again..."

Gao Xuan looked at Zhou Qing's embarrassed expression, and a meaningful smile appeared on his lips as he continued, "Based on the image stone others left, it can be seen that you currently have three killer moves: poison, fire magic, and lightning sword technique."

Zhou Qing couldn't help but frown.

Gao Xuan saw this and continued calmly, "As someone on the must-kill list, those who are eyeing the bounty or seeking fame through this can easily kill you by simply guarding against these three moves of yours, especially since you are only at the Golden Core stage."

Mo Xingjian listened from the side and didn't say anything more at this moment. After all, what Senior Brother Gao Xuan said was the truth, and it was also what he was worried about.

Moreover, although the fire magic power that Zhou Qing displayed seemed to be extremely powerful, anyone with a discerning eye could tell that it was extremely energy-consuming. It seemed that it was a gift from the second uncle.

Just now in Yushantang, Yan Xiaohu had also analyzed that for those on this list, those who are interested will definitely try their best to analyze all your cards and then come up with targeted countermeasures.

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

Seeing Zhou Qing's thoughtful expression, Gao Xuan paused for a moment, then said, "So, you must learn to conceal your weaknesses and not expose all your tricks. You must also prepare a few more trump cards, just in case."

Zhou Qing raised his head and looked at Gao Xuan, not understanding what he wanted to say.

At this moment, Gao Xuan stretched out his hand, and then a black jade slip that looked quite worn appeared in his hand.

Just with a casual glance, the spiritual power belonging to the "Cang Lei Sword Art" in Zhou Qing's body began to circulate uncontrollably.

His eyes suddenly widened, his face full of disbelief.

Gao Xuan looked at Zhou Qing's reaction, and the smile on his face deepened. However, he continued to ask calmly, "The Cang Lei Sword Technique doesn't just have three moves, it has four in total. Do you want it?"

Hearing Gao Xuan's words, Zhou Qing felt his heart pounding uncontrollably. "Fourth Form? How is that even possible?"

But the response produced by the body now cannot be faked.

He knew better than anyone how powerful the first three moves were, and they were extremely difficult to practice. Even the Supreme Elder hadn't mastered them.

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

His eyes were full of astonishment and curiosity.

Zhou Qing couldn't help but swallow his saliva, his throat rolling with nervousness and anticipation.

Gao Xuan, however, handed the jade slip directly over and said with a smile, "You were able to comprehend the first three moves in such a short time. Your talent is comparable to that of a demon. However, if you want to practice the fourth move, you will truly need the help of the Thunder Pool."

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

Gao Xuan still had that gentle smile on his face. He waved his hand and said, "Don't thank me. I only got this thing by chance. Maybe it's meant to be with you. After all, most people can't even cultivate to the third form."

"As for the matter of the Thunder Pond, I'm sure your master will take care of it. Fine, that's all. I'll get busy first."

After Gao Xuan finished speaking, he turned and left.

Looking at Gao Xuan's departing back, Zhou Qing subconsciously looked at his master. He really couldn't figure out this fake Gao Xuan.

Seeing this, Mo Xingjian sighed softly and said slowly, "Perhaps, he really treats you as his own son or nephew. Especially since you have shown such amazing talent, it has made him admire your talent."

Yan Xiaohu couldn't help but joked, "At this moment, I'm starting to wonder if you smelled the wrong scent!"

Zhou Qing listened and remained silent.

There is no way you can go wrong.

Don't forget, the other party has a daughter, Nannan, whom I identified through the rattle.

But the real Uncle Gao Xuan doesn’t even have a Taoist partner.

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

"What?" After hearing this, the two of them had an expression of disbelief on their faces. They never expected to hear such bad news suddenly.

Mo Xingjian sighed heavily again, his tone filled with regret and helplessness. "A month ago, she was killed by Sima Yaoji, one of the five great geniuses of the Cang Yan Dao Palace. Du Kui was also seriously injured and barely managed to escape with his life."

"But after that, Du Kui completely lost his heart for the Dao, spending his days drinking heavily and living in a daze."

"Alas, perhaps, knowing that you killed the other two of the Five Great Prodigies, Senior Brother Gao Xuan was touched, so he gave you the fourth move of the Cang Lei Sword Technique."

Zhou Qing and Yan Xiaohu looked at each other, and suddenly a sense of sadness about the impermanence of life surged in their hearts.

Senior Brother Du Kui and Senior Sister Luo Xue saved my life. I had seen Senior Sister Luo Xue many times before when I was at Shenyue Peak and Jinyang Peak.

She was so gentle and kind, and her cultivation was high. She and Senior Brother Du Kui had grown up together and had a deep relationship. How could she suddenly...

For a moment, it was difficult for the two to accept this cruel fact.

Mo Xingjian looked at the two people's sad expressions and said calmly: "This is war!"

There was no further explanation, but these five simple words made the two of them feel even more depressed.

Yes, this is war, cruel and unreasonable.

How is it possible that you are allowed to swing your sword to kill the enemy, but the enemy cannot fight back and hurt himself?

I don’t know if Senior Brother Du Kui can recover from this huge blow?

After Zhou Qing returned to his residence, he was unable to calm down for a long time. The voice and smile of Senior Sister Luo Xue and the depressed look of Senior Brother Du Kui 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 his emotions temporarily, and then looked at the jade slip in his hand.

He placed the jade slip between his eyebrows and slowly poured his spiritual consciousness into it. He thought he would see the detailed content of the fourth move of the "Cang Lei Sword Technique", but unexpectedly, all he saw was an endless sea of ​​thunder rolling and roaring.

Apart from this, nothing else can be seen, as if the jade slip only contains this shocking and confusing picture.

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

It was still the same violent sea of ​​thunder, and no substantial information about the martial arts could be found.

At this moment, he suddenly remembered what Uncle Gao Xuan had said before, that this fourth move required the Thunder Pool to practice.

Is it because of the lack of the assistance of Lei Chi that we cannot see the specific content of the exercises?

"Is it so evil?" Zhou Qing muttered to himself, becoming more and more curious about the fourth move.

At this moment, Mo Xingjian's voice suddenly came to my ears: "Get ready, go to the Golden Thunder Sect the day after tomorrow and borrow their Thunder Pool!"

When Zhou Qing heard this, his eyes lit up immediately.

Now there is a stable teleportation array between the three families, and it only takes a short while to get to the Jinlei Sect.

"Yes, Master!" Zhou Qing said excitedly.

…………

Golden Thunder Sect!
Beside a wide Thunder Crystal Avenue, there are a large number of Thunder Spirit Trees planted, and the trunks and branches are flashing with light blue lightning all the time.

Walking along the avenue, you will see a towering main hall covered with a layer of golden glazed tiles, which is extremely gorgeous and dazzling in the sunlight.

At the four corners of the palace eaves, there is a string of thunder bells hanging, each of which contains a small thunder spirit restriction, which is used to monitor the surroundings.

Inside the main hall, Lei Wuji, the leader of the Golden Thunder Sect, frowned tightly with a serious expression as he kept checking the recent messages.

The five sects have been at war for some time, but only now have they realized that they never really understood the Cang Yan Dao Palace.

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

It is said that a biting dog does not bark. The Tianji Sect has caused them considerable losses silently during this period.

"Lei Lie, three guests are coming to Taiqing Sect today. You will be responsible for receiving them!"

While processing the information at hand, Lei Wuji gave instructions to a man standing in the audience.

Lei Lie, his eldest disciple, has reached the great perfection of the Nascent Soul Realm and has now begun to comprehend a certain state of mind. If nothing unexpected happens, he will be able to enter the Spirit Transformation Realm within twenty years.

Lei Lie immediately stepped out and saluted: "Yes, Master!"

Lei Lie was still full of gratitude towards Taiqing Sect. Back then, when civil strife broke out in their Jinlei Sect and the situation was critical, it was the eighteen people from Taiqing Sect who came to help, which helped Jinlei Sect to quell the civil strife and stabilize the situation.

It can be said that if Taiqing Sect had not helped, the Jinlei Sect would have changed its name and ceased to exist.

After leaving the hall, Lei Lie flew straight towards the back mountain on his sword.

There are a large number of thunder bamboo forests planted here, and three supreme elders are personally in charge.

The small teleportation array purchased from the Vientiane Auction was set up here.

As Lei Lie entered the bamboo forest, several spiritual senses quickly swept over him, and only after making sure that there was nothing unusual did they let him pass.

About half an hour later, the teleportation array in the center began to flash, and then three figures appeared.

Zhou Qing and Yan Xiaohu subconsciously rubbed their eyes to adjust to the surrounding light, and then looked around curiously.

Upon seeing this, Lei Lie quickly stepped forward and bowed respectfully, saying, "Junior greets Senior Mo, Junior Brother Zhou, and Junior Brother Yan!"

Mo Xingjian looked up, a smile on his face, and said, "It turns out to be Lei Lie. It's been a long time since we last met!"

Lei Lie was humble and polite, smiling and responding, "Thank you for your concern, Senior Mo. My master originally wanted to come and receive you personally, but unfortunately, too many things have happened in the sect recently, and he really couldn't spare the time. He had no choice but to send a junior here. I hope you won't blame me."

Mo Xingjian smiled and said, "Brother Wuji is so kind. This time, we were asking him for help. He agreed to lend us the Thunder Pool. We are already extremely grateful. How could we dare to trouble him again?"

Zhou Qing looked at Lei Lie and was secretly shocked.

He keenly noticed that this person, like his eldest brother and second sister, had a rather mysterious aura about him, which was a sign that he was about to enter the realm of spiritual transformation.

Moreover, the third on the must-kill list is Lei Lie. Forty-four Nascent Soul Realm people have died at his hands, only three fewer than the eldest senior brother. It is really terrifying.

Lei Lie said respectfully, "Senior Mo, please follow me!"

After saying that, he glanced at Zhou Qing casually, then led the way, leading the three people towards the direction of the Thunder Pond...

Lei Chi is divided into those created naturally by heaven and earth and those created by humans.

Needless to say, what is naturally created by heaven and earth is completely the magical creation of nature, which can be encountered but not sought after. It is an opportunity that countless practitioners dream of but cannot reach.

Artificial creation is to select a suitable place, construct it with a formation, and finally, after years of evolution, the power of thunder and lightning will continue to gather and concentrate in it, eventually forming an extremely pure and powerful thunder and lightning spiritual liquid.

It can be said that the Thunder Pool is the most ideal place for all those who practice thunder-based exercises. Not only is it gentle to a certain extent, it also causes much less damage to the body.

On the other hand, the Jinlei Sect has a man-made thunder pool, just like when the ancestors of the Taiqing Sect discovered the cave heaven, they relied on its unique advantages to establish their own sect.
