Defying the Martial Way to Burn the Heavens
Chapter 200: Chatting in a Restaurant
Zuo Feng's words shocked the other diners and the waiter, but the waiter reacted quickly and hurriedly brought a wine pot and two wine bowls to Zuo Feng's table.
Seeing that the waiter put down the things but did not leave immediately, he thought about it and understood what the other party was worried about. He took out ten gold coins from his arms and put them on the table. The waiter smiled immediately when he saw the gold coins, quickly put the coins away and turned to leave.
Zuo Feng looked at the old man who was busy eating the two dishes in front of him. He smiled slightly and picked up the wine pot to pour a bowl of wine for the old man. The old man raised the bowl and drank it all. Since the old man didn't say much, Zuo Feng just watched without saying a word. He was curious about the old man's purpose.
Not long after, the waiter brought two more dishes. Seeing that the amount of food this time was much larger, Zuo Feng also knew that the gold coins just now had an effect. He picked up the chopsticks and tasted it. His eyes lit up. He used to eat the dishes made by wild beasts in the village. However, he didn't know what seasonings were added to these dishes, but they were particularly delicious.
Then the old man and the young man ate in silence. The old man filled his glass with wine from time to time and took a big sip, looking like he was enjoying himself.
At this moment, the people around didn't care about this table. They ate and chatted by themselves, but what they talked about immediately caught Zuo Feng's attention.
"Have you heard that things are really messy in Ye Lin recently?"
"Yeah, I also heard from a passing merchant that it seems that in Ye Lin Dong Jun, several city lords and commanders had a fight and heard that a city lord was killed in the end, but they said that he died of a strange disease. It's nonsense. How could someone with such a cultivation level get an innocent disease?"
"It's nonsense, but what you heard is not true. I heard from an insider that it seems that the incident was caused by a teenager."
Hearing this, Zuo Feng couldn't help but look at the table where they were talking. There were two middle-aged men in long gowns at the corner of the wall. They were eating and talking, and it didn't seem like they were deliberately talking to him, so Zuo Feng was relieved and continued to listen.
"I heard that Dongjun held a spiral tower trial this year, and a young boy won both times, which eventually led to the governor of Dongjun and the lord of Yancheng bringing their friendly forces to fight outside Yancheng."
The conversation between the people at this table immediately attracted the attention of the people at other tables, as if they were acquainted with the people at the previous table, and they interrupted without hesitation.
"Old Zhang, what you heard is also a rumor. But I know it was caused by that boy. I heard that Zhang Yu, the leader of Yancheng, offended that boy. In the end, that boy rushed into the mansion and killed everyone in the mansion."
Hearing this, Zuo Feng couldn't help but frowned slightly. This news was very close to the real situation, but he didn't know who spread this news and what the purpose of the person who spread the news was.
The people at the table chatting before sneered with disdain after hearing what the person at the next table said, "Niu Er, you are really good at talking nonsense. Those who can become leaders must be in the Qi training stage. The age of the teenagers participating in the trial of the spiral tower cannot be over 18. You don't even think about it. How can a teenager under 18 years old compete with a strong man in the Qi training stage?"
The people at the other tables around were actually listening carefully to the conversation here. When they heard the counterattack from the person called Lao Zhang, they immediately laughed and laughed at Niu Er for talking nonsense.
The middle-aged man called Niu Er was a little excited when he heard the sarcasm of the people around him. He slapped the table and said loudly: "I spent five gold coins to get this news. That person also told me that the elders of the Ye Lin Empire had been dispatched for this boy, but they didn't catch the murderer in the end."
"Haha..."
As soon as Niu Er finished speaking, there was laughter again around him. Only Zuo Feng's face became a little gloomier. This news was indeed not far from the truth, and the person who spread the news obviously had no good intentions towards Zuo Feng. He looked at Niu Er who had spoken before with a slightly cold look, but this person looked like a waste who had cultivated to the eighth or ninth level of the strong body stage in his thirties.
This kind of person didn't look like someone who was sent to spread rumors, and the people in the restaurant seemed to be very familiar with him. This person should have lived here for a long time.
"The elders of the Ye Lin Empire were dispatched but they failed to catch a boy. Could it be that this boy is a super strong man in the Spirit Refining Stage? Haha."
"No, that boy is a transformed eighth-level monster. Haha..."
"Haha"
Just when Zuo Feng was thinking about where this news came from, the others immediately laughed and said in a flurry. Then there was another round of laughter, but Zuo Feng couldn't help but frown after hearing it. He was actually said to be an eighth-level monster, which really annoyed him.
At this time, the waiter also joined in and said with a smile: "Brother Niu, the people of the Ye Lin Elders are all strong men in the Qi Receiving Stage, and there are also flying monsters of the Ye Lin Empire. Even if a boy really has a supernatural ability, he can't escape. I think you are probably deceived. Your gold coins are not as good as giving them to Brother Zhang."
Zuo Feng was shocked when he heard this. He also knew that after the Body Refining Stage is the Qi Refining Stage, and the Qi Refining Stage is divided into three stages: Sensing Qi, Receiving Qi, and Cultivating Qi. However, it was only at this time that he realized that the elders' requirement was to reach the Qi Nai Stage.
Niu Er obviously couldn't convince everyone, and said with some irritation: "Maybe that boy is really transformed into an eighth-level monster."
As soon as Niu Er's words came out, he immediately aroused laughter in the restaurant, but Zuo Feng secretly shook his head. If this group of people knew that the "eighth-level monster" they were talking about was eating in the same restaurant as them, it would be strange not to be scared to death and run for their lives.
Zuo Feng was thinking angrily when he saw the old man opposite who had been eating with his head down, picked up the wine jug and poured a bowl for Zuo Feng. Zuo Feng was stunned for a moment, but ignored the wine in the bowl and spoke with a smile.
"Old man, this meal is destined for you and me. I just don't know what your purpose is. Why don't you tell the truth straight to the point, so that we can both be happy."
This old man has always been weird since he appeared, and Zuo Feng has never been able to see through what level the old man's cultivation level is. He would not believe that the old man was an ordinary person with no cultivation. It could be seen from the fact that the waiter could not push the old man out of the restaurant for a long time. The old man must have good cultivation, but Zuo Feng could not see that. The opponent's cultivation level means that the opponent must be at least a strong person in the Qi refining stage.
The old man was stunned when he heard what Zuo Feng said, and then he laughed loudly. The sound of the old man's laughter was like a loud bell and a drum, which made the restaurant tremble a little. All the surrounding diners, including Zuo Feng, changed their expressions at the same time. Some of these people had very low cultivation levels and some were just ordinary people, but they could all hear from this voice that the old man's cultivation level was definitely not low.
Zuo Feng was even more surprised. Although he could not judge the depth of the old man's cultivation, he was definitely much higher than Commander Zhang Yu. If such an expert has an intention for him, he doesn't need to beat around the bush at all, and he doesn't even need to worry about the prohibition of the lord of the city. And judging from the old man's appearance, he probably wasn't sent by the Ye Lin Empire to capture him.
Although Zuo Feng still couldn't guess the origin of the old man, he could vaguely feel that the old man was not hostile to him. Thinking of this, Zuo Feng was temporarily relieved.
After laughing, the old man raised the wine bowl in front of him and drank it in one gulp. Then he looked at the wine bowl in front of Zuo Feng. Seeing that Zuo Feng's bowl of wine had not been touched, he shook his head and said, "What a good wine. It would be a shame not to drink." After saying this, the old man picked up the wine bowl in front of Zuo Feng, then raised his head and drank it all.
Zuo Feng watched the old man finish drinking the wine, hesitated slightly, and then took out an exquisite gourd from his arms. Then under the surprised gaze of the old man, he poured half a bowl for the old man, and at the same time poured half a bowl for himself, and then said with a smile.
"Since we are destined, I have to have a sip with my senior. I never drink alcohol. This wine was brewed by a friend of mine, so I will toast my senior with this wine."
The old man still had a smile on his face, but when the aroma of wine wafted from the bowl of wine in front of him, he couldn't help but let out a soft "Huh", and then a sparkle bloomed in his eyes.
The old man obviously loved what was in the cup. He licked his lips gently and then carefully picked up the wine bowl, put it to his nose and smelled it gently. Then he let out a sigh of relief and said, "Poria flowers and white core vines, not bad, not bad."
After finishing speaking, the old man ignored Zuo Feng's surprised look and drank the bowl of wine in his hand. Then another person with a surprised look on his face called out the names of several medicinal herbs, causing Zuo Feng on the other side to almost scream in surprise. Because the old man only drank it once, he actually revealed all the ingredients for making this wine like a treasure trove.
Even Zuo Feng, who knew a lot about medicines, could barely name half of the medicinal materials used to make the wine after drinking it for the first time.
After the old man finished drinking, he smashed his mouth with some unfinished meaning. Then, with a slight blush on his face, he took the wine bowl in front of Zuo Feng and said, "Since you don't want to drink, don't waste it." After saying this, the old man looked up. Toujiang Zuo Feng also drank all the bowl.
It was only then that Zuo Feng came back to his senses. He looked at the two empty bowls in front of him with some dumbfounding, but almost all the doubts in his heart were put aside.
The old man's trust in Zuo Feng can be seen as the fact that the senior master has many tricks and is not afraid of some low-ranking tricks, so he has never worried about being poisoned in the wine. Of course, it can also be seen that the old man has no hostility towards Zuo Feng, so he first expressed his trust in Zuo Feng.
Regardless of the above speculation, Zuo Feng felt that this might be an opportunity for him. Zuo Feng's expression gradually softened, and then he smiled at the old man opposite him, picked up the wine jug again and poured a full bowl for the old man.
