People are fighting to open a pastry shop

Chapter 227 Su Qian’s arrival and the warning from the eagle
Xiao Cheng sat back on his chair, closing his eyes and thinking about the system's new tasks.

The main reason is that this new task is really a bit incomprehensible.

Side task: Ask the host to let Su Qian eat the bitter gourd cake provided by the system (note: don’t let the other party tease him)

Mission reward: a random pastry recipe

Mission failed: Su Qian's favorability towards you drops by -99999, and all personnel in the inner courtyard will regard you as a hostile person, which is permanently valid.
Task time: valid only for today.

When he opened the task list again and saw this task, the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching, and he was slandering in his heart.

"Damn the system, isn't your mission just to make me die?"

Think about making this great elder in the inner courtyard eat bitter gourd cake. Although he doesn't know what effect this bitter gourd cake has, it must be both bitter and astringent.

"System, your bitter gourd cake is not really as simple as making bitter gourd, right?"

[Bitter melon cake is a kind of pastry made by the system through the analysis and integration of an expert's research data. This kind of bitter melon cake can remove some accumulated toxins or any unfavorable substances in the body, and at the same time, it will also improve some cultivation. But the main function is to remove toxins and make the body purer]

He also heaved a sigh of relief after listening to the system's remarks. It didn't matter if there were any other unexpected effects.

The last task time is only for today, so that means that the elder Su Qian from the inner court will come over within today, it seems that he can only wait here.

At this time, Old Man Huo came over, seemingly hesitant to speak.

Seeing this, Xiao Cheng said helplessly.

"Apprentice, if you have something to say, just say it directly. Why are you hesitating?"

Seeing Xiao Cheng say that, he also thought about it and said.

"I suddenly remembered that I still had some unfinished business, so I thought."

Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Xiao Cheng.

"Okay, you don't have to say anything, I understand, you go to your business"

"Then here."

"I will go up and help when the time comes."

he said with a smile.

Seeing this, old man Huo also nodded, and left in a hurry.

It was at this time that for some unknown reason, an old man suddenly appeared next to Xiao Cheng's car, which almost startled him.

"Old man, who are you, you will scare people to death if you suddenly appear like this, don't you know?"

He patted his chest, looking terrified.

However, he also realized right away, no, why didn't he feel that the old man suddenly appeared here.

After he suddenly reacted, his body tensed up immediately, and he stared solemnly at the old man not far away. Only now did he feel that this old man was not simple.

To be able to appear suddenly without a sound, then it shows that the old man's cultivation base is very strong, too strong.

At least he thought so.

Seeing the young man's nervous appearance, the old man smiled at him.

"Haha, you must be Xiao Cheng, am I right?"

Hearing the old man say his name so directly, he was taken aback for a moment, and then said in surprise.

"How do you know my name?"

"Hehe, I forgot to introduce you. I am Su Qian, the Great Elder of the inner court. You are very good. You actually have the cultivation of fighting spirits. Not bad."

Obviously this old man is Su Qian, the Great Elder of the Inner Court.

And the way he looked at Xiao Cheng at this time was like seeing a piece of uncut jade, his eyes were full of appreciation.

But Xiao Cheng felt a little uncomfortable with the fiery eyes.

This old man is the Great Elder of the Inner Court, why does this old man look at him so strangely?

The strange thought that popped up suddenly made him tremble all over, and he asked quickly.

"Elder Su Qian?"

"Yes, I came this time just to meet you, I have no other ideas, you don't have to be so nervous"

Hearing what the great elder said, he felt relieved.

Immediately, he thought of the task of the system, his eyes rolled, and then he said with a smile.

"Elder Su Qian, why don't you try my pastry here, it tastes very good and can improve your cultivation, why don't you try it?"

He said with a very sincere look.

On the surface, this is indeed the case, but in his heart he is planning to let Su Qian, the Great Elder, eat the bitter melon cake provided by the system.

The bitter gourd cake has been stored in the personal backpack by the system.

He glanced at the green round cake in his personal backpack, and couldn't help feeling a little nervous.

He also smiled when he heard that the little guy in front of him was so enthusiastic.

"It's all right, let me see if your pastry is really as magical as the academy claims."

In fact, before he found Xiao Cheng, he had been able to learn about the miraculous effect of this pastry from the mouths of many students in the outer courtyard.

Basically they are full of praise, the only thing that makes them dissatisfied is that the price is really too expensive.

At first, they thought it was nothing, but after buying more times, they realized that the price was really expensive, and all of them together almost caught up with the price of some medicinal materials.

"Okay, wait a minute, I'll get you some pastries"

So he went to Xiao Yu's side and took some pastries, only a little bit of each, just to let the great elder taste them one by one, and then he was looking for an opportunity to take out this bitter gourd cake for him to eat, so that It won't look too obtrusive.

I'm so smart.

After Xiao Cheng brought the pastry, he put it on the chair he was sitting on, and then he said to Su Qian.

"Great Elder, here, this is peanut nougat, it's delicious"

Su Qian took the nougat that Xiao Cheng tore open the package and threw it into his mouth.

The smell of peanuts mixed with a kind of sweetness that I don't know is very delicious, and it tastes good.

The next moment, his eyes widened suddenly, because just now he felt an inexplicable energy entering his body.

The fighting spirit in the body also started to move involuntarily and began to absorb this energy.

He could feel that his two-star Douzong's cultivation seemed to have increased a bit, which shocked him.

He originally thought that the so-called pastry could improve cultivation was a lie, but after experiencing it himself, he realized that it was true and had no side effects, which was a bit scary.

Immediately, he also ignored Xiao Cheng who was on the side, and came to the edge of the chair. After tasting them one by one, he realized how helpless he was.

The miraculous effect of these pastries alone felt very shocking to him.

Just now he felt that his cultivation base, soul power, and his comprehension and proficiency of his fighting skills had all improved.

He looked at Xiao Cheng in shock and didn't know what to say.

Seeing that the Great Elder was shocked, Xiao Cheng knew that the time had come.

If you don't open your mouth to change the subject at this time, you will really miss the opportunity.

And in the city of Wutan, in Qingmang's rented room at this time, two people were discussing something.

At this moment, a cloud of black mist suddenly appeared in the room.

Jie Jie's strange laughter came out of the black mist, it was hoarse and frightening, making people feel cold and shuddering.

Luman's feeling is the most obvious, she can feel that the black mist in front of her is terrifying, it seems that they can be wiped out with just a wave of her hand.

"Jie Jie, you are from the Heavenly Snake Mansion, don't be so nervous, I didn't come to kill you, I just came to remind you, tell you the stewards of the Heavenly Snake Mansion, Ruyizhai is not something you can covet, It is something from our Soul Palace"

"Soul Palace? Who are you?"

Green Man asked in a deep voice.

"You are not qualified to know, Jie Jie, well, I have said everything that needs to be said, I hope you can have self-knowledge, otherwise, next time you will not be so nice to persuade me."

Black Mist paused and said again.

"This is just a small warning"

As the voice fell, the black mist disappeared.

Qingmang and Luman looked at each other with serious expressions on their faces.

"Lu Man, it seems that you have to go back and tell Lord Bai Fang what happened just now."

she nodded.

"Soul Hall? What kind of power is this? I'm going back now, don't go out, just stay here and wait for me to come back"

He nodded, and watched the green figure disappear into the room.

Immediately, he let out a long breath and looked out of the window, but his heart was extremely heavy, as if he felt a little uneasy about the black mist that appeared inexplicably just now.
