On the self-cultivation of a foodie

Shen Heqing: "..."

After Jiang Haiyan finished speaking, he held his big bowl and said to the leader with a big head: "I'm ready, when are we leaving?"

At the same time, the guide who stared at Shen Heqing several times suddenly slapped his forehead and laughed loudly: "I said, why do you look familiar! It turned out to be you! If you don't lead the candidates, what are you doing here?" ?” There are so many people in the Alliance of Cultivators, it is impossible for everyone to know each other.

Shen He said calmly: "I'll go in a while."

The guide named Caocao looked at Jiang Haiyan a few times, then turned his head and asked Shen Heqing: "Who is this?"

"Family."

Shen He said calmly.

Cao Cao patted his forehead in doubt: "Has hamsters become so easy these days?" He obviously regarded Jiang Haiyan as a hamster.

Shen He smiled lightly, without explaining: "I'm sorry to trouble you."

Jiang Haiyan shrugged while holding a big bowl of noodles, and he didn't bother to explain to others that he was not a hamster. After all, if he explained that he was not a hamster, the other party might continue to ask him what his real identity was. It would be too troublesome to explain... In order to avoid trouble, he simply didn't explain it.

"Haha, no trouble!" Caocao patted his forehead and laughed loudly.

Because the noodles hadn't been finished yet, Jiang Haiyan just took the big bowl and walked with Caocao, and came to the literary test site for the alliance's fine-tuning license through the TV at home again.

"Wait here for a while," Cao Cao said to Jiang Haiyan, "you can go in after everyone is ready."

Jiang Haiyan held the big bowl and looked around silently for a while. This place seemed to be some kind of wilderness. He saw that the surroundings were full of big trees, overgrown with weeds, and there were dead branches and rotten leaves under his feet. He looked up again, I saw an abandoned building looming in the dense forest not far away.

"This is the test site?" Jiang Haiyan cursed inwardly. This place is more like a scene that would appear in a horror movie. Is he going to spend the next few days here?

The Alliance of Cultivators actually arranged the test venue in such a deserted and deserted place. Is it because they are afraid that they will damage the public infrastructure when they fight?

Caocao nodded emphatically: "That's right! This is the headquarters of the Alliance of Cultivators. This military test will be held in the forbidden area of ​​the headquarters of the Alliance of Cultivators."

Jiang Haiyan silently looked up at the abandoned building not far away. The old building that was built in an unknown era was already dilapidated. There were large pieces of peeling cement and steel bars exposed to the air. It looked very scary, there were big and deep cracks on the wall, and the whole building seemed to be crumbling in the wind.

No matter how you look at it, this is just an unfinished building that has been abandoned for a long time... This is actually the headquarters of the Alliance of Cultivators?

Is the Alliance of Cultivators so poor?

"The forbidden area of ​​the Cultivator Alliance headquarters?" Jiang Haiyan raised his eyebrows, and couldn't help but ask, "Is this forbidden area the one I understand? Shouldn't people be forbidden to enter the forbidden area? Held in a forbidden place?"

Fuck patted his forehead and sighed: "Isn't it because the cultivation world is not peaceful recently, the chairman is afraid that the exam for the alliance master license will be disturbed, so he deliberately opened the forbidden area of ​​​​the alliance headquarters to let you Examination, when the Alliance of Cultivators was first established, in order to protect the forbidden area, the chairman asked the heads and elders of the eight sects to set up multiple formations in the forbidden area. Now the forbidden area should be the safest place in the entire cultivation world. It can be called an iron wall. , so you don’t have to worry about it!”

Jiang Haiyan suddenly understood: "So it is."

Before, Shen Heqing was worried that those demon cultivators would come to make trouble, and it seems that the Cultivator Alliance also had this concern, so he arranged the place where the martial arts test will be held in a forbidden area protected by multiple formations, so as to prevent those demon cultivators from coming to sabotage .

"If those demon cultivators can even break into the forbidden area, then there may be no safe place in the cultivation world."

Jiang Haiyan raised his eyebrows: "Don't set up FLAG indiscriminately."

Caocao laughed: "I will continue to lead the way for other candidates, you wait here for a while, and after all the candidates arrive, you can go in."

After Caocao left, Jiang Haiyan picked up the big bowl and continued to eat noodles, so when other exams arrived one after another, he saw such a wonderful scene - a good-looking young man in broad daylight Next, standing in a small forest, holding a big bowl bigger than his face, sucking and sucking noodles.

"It's you? Jiang Haiyan?"

A surprised voice suddenly sounded.

Jiang Haiyan turned around, only to see a young man standing not far away, looking at him with surprise.

The young man was about fifteen or sixteen years old, and his appearance was fairly handsome, his skin was white and rosy, but his eyes were very big, even a little scary, and those big black eyeballs seemed to pop out at the next moment.

Jiang Haiyan thought for a while, then shouted: "...Xia Jing?"

"It's really you!" The young man looked surprised, his white face flushed slightly with joy, "We met again, what a coincidence!"

This young man is naturally the shrimp spirit that Jiang Haiyan met last time when he took part in the test for the alliance's proficiency permit.

"It's really a coincidence." Jiang Haiyan still had a good impression of this little shrimp, so he smiled, "Why? You only have one shrimp? Where's your brother Xie?"

"Brother Xie is still behind. I ran over to look for you when I saw your back just now." Xia Jing rubbed his head and smiled shyly, "What are you doing? Are you eating noodles?"

Sure enough, the next moment, a young man rushed over at a trot, and then stood in front of Xia Jing with a vigilant face. This young man had a very strange appearance, his face was wide and flat, his eyes were puffed up, but his eyes gave people a kind of sideways look. Look at people's feelings.

This young man is also the demon cultivator that Jiang Haiyan met when he participated in the examination of the alliance's elite license. He is a crab spirit with a particularly strong vigilance.

"Xiaojing, didn't I say that before? Stay away from people you don't know!"

Jiang Haiyan held a big bowl with an innocent face.

"I don't think he's a bad person..." Xia Jing said softly.

"Why would the bad guys write the words I'm a bad guy on their face?" Xie Pang was very distressed.

While the three of them were talking, many candidates had rushed to the examination room one after another, crowding the originally deserted woods, and it became lively in an instant. Obviously, it was not the first time for many candidates to take the test. Candidates who knew each other greeted each other.

"Old Zhu! Do you have confidence in this martial arts test? Can you pass it?"

"It must be possible! Last time I was punched by you, Old Bear, and broke my big die, this time I must retaliate! Revenge!"

"It's good for you to have this confidence, but I was ranked more than 100 times higher than you in the last martial arts test. Are you sure you can beat me?"

"So what if the martial arts test is good? Your literary test is not a mess!"

"Will this martial arts test be a group arena?"

"I don't think it should be. They are all arranged in the forbidden area of ​​the alliance headquarters. There must be other arrangements."

"What is the forbidden area like? Could it be that there is really a powerful magician sealed inside?"

"Then I don't know! If so, it's too scary!"

……

After the candidates came one after another, the guides responsible for leading the way for the exam also took their positions. This time, Jiang Haiyan didn't see Zhu Lanhe among the guides, but Zhong Pinglun and, of course, Shen Heqing.

Shen Heqing was surrounded by several little cat demons who had apparently just become spirits not long ago. He seemed to be particularly welcomed by those little cat demons. The little cat demons surrounded him, chirping and asking questions. , but his eyes passed through the sea of ​​people and landed on Jiang Haiyan.

When Jiang Haiyan looked at Shen Heqing, he happened to meet Shen Heqing's gaze, and the two gazes met in mid-air for a moment, and Jiang Haiyan couldn't help laughing.

Shen Heqing, a hamster spirit, was actually stalked by a group of cat demons... His heart must be broken.

Seeing that Jiang Haiyan smiled, Shen Heqing also smiled softly.

At this moment, all the people around them seemed to disappear, and it seemed that only the two of them were left in the whole world.

"Candidates, please be quiet."

At this moment, Zhong Pinglun spoke. As the head of the Kunlun Sect, he was obviously the most senior among all the leaders.

In this crowded and noisy forest, his voice was clearly transmitted to every corner.

"Welcome everyone to participate in the martial arts test organized by the Cultivation Realm Alliance to become an elite license exam. Now, Dai Xiongmao, the chairman of the Cultivator Alliance, will read the relevant rules of the martial arts test for us. Please applaud and welcome."

It was that old-fashioned rhetoric again, and sparse applause rang out in the woods one after another.

Amidst the perfunctory applause, Dai Xiongmao, chairman of the Alliance of Cultivators, made an ordinary appearance, similar to the one Jiang Haiyan had seen before. He is short, neither fat nor thin, and wears a well-proportioned suit, but last time he wore a black suit, and this time he wore a white suit.

Dai Xiongmao's speech level still hasn't improved much, Jiang Haiyan can only cheer himself up and listen to Dai Xiongmao's speech while sucking noodles, so as not to fall asleep so quickly.

This year's alliance martial arts test is not a pure force test, but another form. All candidates will be divided into groups by drawing lots, and each team will form a team of three. Different teams will receive different tasks assigned by the alliance. The degree of task completion is used to evaluate the test results.

"...I hope that everyone can achieve good results, successfully pass the alliance's elf license exam, get the elf license, and become a legal elf of the alliance. Thank you everyone, and my speech is over."

As soon as Dai Xiongmao finished speaking, all the candidates started talking.

It turns out that the forbidden area of ​​the Cultivator Alliance Headquarters actually raised many spirit beasts and planted many spirit plants. Although the general practice sects also raise spirit beasts and plant spirit plants, but now there is a lack of spirit energy, and the number of spirit beasts and spirit plants has been greatly reduced. Even if it is some low-level spirit beasts and spirit plants, some of them who have just become spirits have not been able to see them for a long time.

And the content of their martial arts test this time is to take a certain part of the spirit beast's hair or horns, or to take a certain part of the whole spiritual plant or flowers and fruits. It is not an easy task. If you want to take a certain part of the spirit beast, the spirit beast will naturally resist and struggle, but it is not easy to take a spirit plant. Generally, there are guardian monsters around the spirit plant. The more advanced the guardian monster of Lingzhi is, there is a symbiotic relationship between the guardian monster and Lingzhi, so naturally it will not be so easy to please others.

"There are many spirit beasts and plants in the forbidden area of ​​the alliance headquarters? This is the rhythm of the alliance wanting to make a fortune!"

"Could this be the truth behind the forbidden area? No wonder the Alliance has never let others in!"

"Do those things we get belong to us?"

Dai Xiongmao coughed, and said solemnly: "The things you get must be handed over to the alliance! Otherwise, there will be no results!"

There was a resounding "cut~" in the audience, the Dare Love Alliance treats these candidates as coolies!

Zhong Pinglun hurriedly came out to smooth things over: "Thank you Chairman Dai for your speech! Now let's draw lots for all candidates! Three candidates who draw the same number form a team. After the lottery, our guide will lead all candidates to the forbidden area."

As soon as he finished speaking, another guide took out a square wooden box from the storage bag.

Jiang Haiyan also finished eating the bowl of noodles at this time. He wiped his mouth, stuffed his beloved big bowl into the storage bag, and then watched casually as the examinees stepped forward one by one and put their hands into the wooden box to draw lots.

"Number one? Good omen! It seems that I will definitely pass this martial arts test!"

"440 four? This is too unlucky!"

"230 Three? Who is 230 Three?"

After the lottery was drawn, the candidates looked around for their teammates. After those candidates had almost drawn lots, Jiang Haiyan walked up slowly, reached out and touched a small piece of paper.

— Four hundred and five.

"What number did you draw?"

Just as Jiang Haiyan finished drawing the lottery, Xia Jing, who had already drawn the lottery at the side, approached curiously and asked. He shrugged and showed Xia Jing the contents of the note.

"It's such a coincidence!" Xia Jing looked surprised, "Brother Xie and I are also four hundred and five!"

Jiang Haiyan was also a little surprised, he didn't expect that he would draw two acquaintances... probably acquaintances.

"Great, I was worried that I might get someone who would be difficult to get along with." Xia Jing stuck out his tongue, and he carefully glanced into the distance, with lingering fear on his face, "Fortunately, your teammate is you!"

Jiang Haiyan followed Xia Jing's line of sight, and saw a burly man wearing a vest and a big gold chain. That big man had a muscular body, a fierce face and a fleshy face. He was very difficult to get along with, and the last What is interesting is that there is actually a tattoo-like thing on the forehead of that big man, with the word "King" written on it.

Compared to Xia Jing's gratitude for being able to become a team member with Jiang Haiyan, Xie Pang was obviously very dissatisfied with Jiang Haiyan as a team member. He took a step forward, dragged Xia Jing behind him, and stared at Jiang Haiyan vigilantly. He also didn't want to be a team member with that burly man, but he didn't think being a team member with Jiang Haiyan would be much better than the former.

"Xiao Jing, stay away from this guy!"

Jiang Haiyan spread his hands innocently, although he also thought that Xia Jing's thoughts were too naive.

Is it safer to team up with a tiger than with a glutton?

Only the lighthouse jellyfish would believe this kind of thing.

"Brother Xie, don't be like this," Xia Jing tugged at the corner of Xie Pang's clothes, "The three of us are teammates, so don't make any conflicts... The most important thing is to work together to pass this exam!"

Xie Pang's expression was a bit tangled. He obviously knew that what Xia Jing said was reasonable, but he couldn't dispel his vigilance and guard against Jiang Haiyan in a short time.

Jiang Haiyan shrugged. Although he really wanted to tell this crab spirit that if he really wanted to eat a lot, these two small shrimps and crabs were not enough for him to squeeze between his teeth, but considering the peace issue in the team, he Still swallowed the words back to his stomach.

At this moment, all the candidates had drawn lots, and Zhong Pinglun said again: "Now, everyone, turn the note to the back. This is the content of your martial arts test."

Jiang Haiyan lowered his head and turned the note over to take a look - Jiuzhuan Resurrection Grass.

"Come with us now!"

After Zhong Pinglun finished speaking, he turned around and walked towards the abandoned building not far away. The other guides followed behind him, and the candidates followed after seeing this.

Jiang Haiyan stretched his waist and lazily followed. Xia Jing also hurriedly pulled Xie Pang to follow, and asked curiously as he walked, "Brother Xie, what is the Nine Turns Resurrection Grass? It sounds amazing. It looks like, can it really bring people back to life after eating it?"

Xie Pang looked confused. As a crab spirit who lives in the water, he really doesn't know much about those on land, but looking at Xia Jing's big watery eyes, he was really embarrassed to say that he didn't know. , Just when he was extremely tangled, a slightly soft voice suddenly sounded.

"Nine-Turn Resurrection Grass is just a low-level spiritual plant," said the voice, "It can only be used to make Nine-Turn Resurrection Pill, and the so-called Nine-Turn Resurrection Pill can only treat minor injuries and pains. Lingzhi generally has companion spirit beasts, and the higher the level of spirit plant companion spirit beasts are, the more powerful they are. If they can really bring people back to life, that kind of high-level spirit plant companion spirit beasts are definitely not ours who are still participating in the alliance. Small characters who are good at license exams can deal with it...unless Dai Xiongmao is too stupid to eat bamboo."

Xia Jing looked back in surprise, and then he saw a gorgeous-looking big beauty, with a pair of soul-stirring beautiful eyes slightly upturned, no matter how you look at it, it looks like a fox's eyes, and at this time this big beauty is smiling. Looking at him, as a little shrimp who has just become a sperm and hasn't seen much in the world, his face flushed red all of a sudden.

"Little brother, is your mission to find the Nine-Turn Resurrection Grass?" The big beauty asked Xia Jing with raised eyebrows and a smile, seeing Xia Jing nodded blankly, then smiled again, "That's a coincidence, our mission It is the heart and soul of the grass-swallowing snake. The grass-swallowing snake is also the companion spirit beast of the Jiuzhuan Resurrection Grass. It will guard the Nine-Zhuan Resurrection Grass when it is not yet mature, and swallow it in one gulp when the Nine-Zhuan Resurrection Grass is mature. So its brainchild is the material of another elixir... In that case, why don't we cooperate?"

Xia Jing blushed and looked at Xie Pang, asking for Xie Pang's opinion.

Xie Pang coldly refused: "No need."

"Don't think about it again?" The big beauty raised her eyebrows, "Although the grass-swallowing snake is only a low-level spirit beast, it is also very difficult to deal with. There are only three people and it is quite difficult to deal with."

"No need," Jiang Haiyan suddenly said lazily at this moment, "Let's go our separate ways."

Two of the three people in the team objected, the big beauty sighed, and continued to ask a little bit unwillingly: "Can I ask why?"

Jiang Haiyan blinked: "Ugly refusal."

Big Beauty: "..."

Xia Jing was obviously a little disappointed that he couldn't team up with the big beauty, he lowered his head and pointed his fingers.

Seeing Xia Jing's appearance, Xie Pang said angrily: "All of us are competitors now, that guy will come to find us to form a team for no reason? He must have no good intentions!"

"Why do you always think of people so badly?" Xia Jing pouted.

"You'll know after you've been tricked a few times!" Xie Pang was still angry, he was silent for a while, and suddenly said to Jiang Haiyan, "That person was staring at you just now, he came for you."

Jiang Haiyan smiled lazily, he is so keen, of course he would have noticed it a long time ago, if it wasn't for the vixen's scrutinizing eyes, he would have swallowed that vixen a long time ago... Although the fox meat is a bit embarrassing and smelly, but The taste is also ok...

Xia Jing looked bewildered: "He came here for Jiang Haiyan? Why?"

Xie Pang curled his lips: "Who knows." He would be wary of Jiang Haiyan, first of all of course because Jiang Haiyan is not weak, and it is not surprising that the vixen also noticed it.

Seeing Xia Jing's disappointed look, he swallowed back the half sentence "probably to hug his thigh".

Xia Jing was still a little disappointed, but when he saw that beautiful woman returned to the original team, he immediately felt relieved, because in that beautiful woman's team was actually the burly man he had seen before.

He was a little scared, but fortunately he didn't agree just now.

Jiang Haiyan stared at the back of the vixen for a few moments, and then asked Xia Jing lazily: "So you like the male?"

Xia Jing shook his head blankly: "I don't like it." He also wanted to find a small female shrimp to lay hundreds of shrimp eggs!

"Then why are you so interested in that male vixen?" Jiang Haiyan raised his eyebrows.

"Public vixen..." Xia Jing was stunned, "Public?!"

Jiang Haiyan shrugged: "I thought you knew."

Xia Jing let out a dumbfounded "Oh".

At this point, the poor little shrimp finally stopped worrying about not being able to team up with the big beauty.

Jiang Haiyan looked at Xia Jing in a daze, he reached out and patted the shoulder of the little shrimp who was afraid of him, and said earnestly: "There is no female shrimp anywhere in the world, why bother to fall in love with a single flower."
