The fairy is fierce

At dusk, before the sun sets below the sea level, Thunder Cliff has already turned into a sea of ​​lights that stretches for nearly a hundred miles.

On the street, Zuo Lingquan, wearing a long robe and a sword hanging from his waist, walked behind the round-faced girl like a scholar visiting a scenic spot, listening to all kinds of chatter along the way:

"...This is the Eight Immortals Restaurant. The owner inside is amazing. He is a chef and is known as the Thunder Cliff Chef Immortal. The king crab he cooks can make the fairies who do not eat worldly fireworks secretly swallow their saliva..."

"...That storytelling hall is very famous. The Qianjilang inside is known as the first mouth in the East. He is basically the one who explains the immortals' competition in the Moon in the Water to the audience. Many immortal ancestors support him..."

Tang Jingyan, like a little woman who follows her husband, walked beside Zuo Lingquan with Tuanzi in her arms, looking around curiously; Tuanzi touched his belly with despair, ignoring the hint - the bird is starving, can we order food first and then talk?

It was only more than 20 miles from the port to the core area of ​​the market, but in the fairy market, it was not easy to use supernatural powers to travel quickly, so the time to walk there was not much faster than that of ordinary people.

That was fine, Xie Qiutao was very talkative. Back in her familiar territory, she talked endlessly, and basically talked about every big shop she saw on the road.

Zuo Lingquan and Tang Jingyan were naturally not in a hurry, and Tuanzi was useless in being anxious, so they just walked here. When they arrived at the destination, it was already the time when the lights were just coming on.

The Duobaotan mentioned by Wu Laodao was on Qianyuan Street. It was very large and occupied half of the street. There was a row of shops outside, and a huge round building behind it. From the outside, you could see the formation ripples that appeared and disappeared above the round building. There was a golden plaque hanging on it, with the three words "Duobaotan" written on it. Every word was written in a dragon-like manner, which was very impressive.

The streets outside Duobaotan are full of cultivators, half of whom are pet owners who buy natural treasures for their spirit beasts, and the other half are fishermen from the immortal family.

Not everyone who cultivates the way of cultivation cuts off the secular world. Most cultivators maintain various worldly interests, such as playing chess, listening to music, fishing, gambling, etc., but the higher the realm, the more they can restrain their desires.

On the way here, Zuo Lingquan heard Xie Qiutao give a brief introduction to Duobaotan. To put it bluntly, it is a fairy "black pit". Fishing depends on skills and luck. Profits and losses are at your own risk. If you don't want to take away the good things you catch, they can be converted into immortal money.

Such places are not uncommon in the immortal market, but the scale of Thunder Cliff is too large, and the scale of Duobaotan is far larger than other places. According to rumors, someone once directly caught a fairy beast cub in the Jiaolong Cave under Duobaotan, which leads directly to the East China Sea. It was selected by the wealthy Zixiao City on the top of the mountain and exchanged for a road to the sky.

Zuo Lingquan didn't believe this rumor at all, because the opportunity of cultivating the Dao with the word "Xian" at the beginning, Xian weapons, Xian beasts, etc., are all the most precious treasures in the sect, and they are worshipped as ancestors. Even if there are really some in Duobaotan, they will not be released for people to fish for fun.

However, there are indeed many good things in Duobaotan. The descendants of dragons such as Bixi and Jiaotu can occasionally be released, so there are many cultivators who come to Duobaotan to try their luck. Of course, there are also people who like fishing for excitement and come here to spend money.

Zuo Lingquan and Xie Qiutao first bought more than a dozen boxes of dried small silver fish from the North Sea in the shops on the street, as well as various spiritual beast rations that they had never seen before, and they didn't stop until they were satisfied with the dumplings. Because they bought a lot of things, the shopkeeper also gave them a ticket to Duobaotan as a means of attracting customers.

Zuo Lingquan was originally going to try his hand in it, so he naturally accepted it happily and accompanied Xie Qiutao to choose three more fishing rods.

The fishing rods of the immortals are not bamboo rods, and they are quite expensive. The highest grade is the magic fishing rod made by Guiguxia. In the hands of the monks on the top of the mountain, they can catch Kun whales and small dragons. The price is also amazing. It is a luxury item of the immortals that normal monks will not touch.

Zuo Lingquan is not very interested in fishing. He just picked three ordinary fishing rods at random, plus two tickets, and spent about 400 white jade beads. The price is not cheap. If you don’t catch a decent fish, shrimp, turtle or crab, it’s like throwing it away. If you catch it, you may not get your money back, because it’s difficult to sell low-grade animals, and Duobaotan will not discount it at the market price.

Duobaotan opens every afternoon and lasts until the early morning of the next day. When Zuo Lingquan entered, the lake had been open for an hour or so.

After Xie Qiutao walked into the gate carrying a green fishing rod, she said with some pain:

"If I had known, I would have come sooner. If I had lost an hour or so, I might have lost a fairy beast cub..."

Tuanzi squatted in Tang Jingyan's arms, holding the snack box and chewing it. Hearing the sound, he even "chi chi!" responded, as if to say "How dare you say that? It's all because of you talking nonsense all the way. You almost starved the bird to death..."

Zuo Lingquan followed the crowd into the central area. It can be seen that it is a giant round building with a radius of nearly 100 meters, divided into three floors. Inside is a bottomless black pool, floating with white mist condensed by spiritual energy.

There were many monks around the edge of the black pool, most of them sitting on cushions, with tea tables and chessboards next to them, and some sitting directly on the ground; the second and third floors of the round building were private rooms with fishing platforms, where many fishing rods could be seen sticking out, the longest of which was several dozen feet long and stretched to the center of the pool. It was quite lively, and the monks' gossip could be heard everywhere:

"...I heard that someone caught an iron-backed turtle a few days ago, but it was too heavy to pull it up, and he was so angry that he vomited blood on the spot..."

"Who is so unlucky..."

...

Zuo Lingquan just came in to take a look, and did not spend money to get a private room upstairs. He walked around the edge of the black pool, found a place where no one was interested, and sat down next to the tea table.

Xie Qiutao grew up by the sea and had some research on fishing. After looking around a few times, he hesitated and said:

"Is this place bad? There's no one sitting there, so it's definitely not a good place."

Tang Jingxuan sat down next to Zuo Lingquan and said softly: "A good place may not necessarily have good things. It's good that it's quiet here. Why are you competing with those people?"

Xie Qiutao thought about it, so he sat down on the other side of the tea table and began to prepare it skillfully.

Zuo Lingquan has been practicing swordplay since he was a child. He has no leisure time to fish. He is not very familiar with it. When he was looking at Xie Qiutao, he suddenly heard a voice coming from the pool:

Wow——

In a blink of an eye, he looked around and saw a guard in military uniform with a sword on a platform on the third floor, throwing white jade beads into the cold pool. The number was not small, but within a short time, hundreds of them were thrown down, and he continued.

Tang Jingxuan's eyes were surprised: "Are you trying to make a fool of yourself? You have to burn too much money."

The surrounding monks seemed to have become accustomed to this scene, and a few casual monks said cheerfully:

"Han Jianxian is indeed here. With him spending a lot of money to attract fish, I'm afraid we will get a lot of glory tonight..."

"Which family's immortal leader is this? He's so generous..."

"The nephew of a mountain immortal in the north is given the title of 'Han Qianjin'. He has always been heroic. The shop in Thunder Bluff is happier to see him than to meet his ancestors..."

…

Zuo Lingquan listened to the messy talk and didn't hear the result, but he roughly judged the background of the person who threw the coins from the name.

In the spiritual practice, there are no special requirements for honorifics. You can all call them Immortals, but if you are very respectful, there will still be differences in the titles. To sum up, those who enter Youhuang are called Immortals, so Youhuang is called Immortal Leader, and Jade Steps is better than Youhuang. Those who are powerful are called Immortal Lords, and those who are higher up are called Immortal Lords. However, most people cannot bear this title and it is not commonly used.

Judging from casual discussions among the casual cultivators, this Han Jianxian is probably the nephew of a certain Jade-level ancestor. Of course, it cannot be ruled out that the casual cultivators do not know the Taoism and shout as loud as possible.

Zuo Lingquan was halfway up the jade steps, and he actually deserved the title of Immortal Lord. He didn't pay attention to these small talk, and focused his eyes on the pool:

"Are we going to make a nest too?"

"yes."

Xie Qiutao took out a box of dumplings and dried fish:

"But using fairy money to make a nest is too luxurious. Just use dried small fish. You can buy more anyway.

"grumble?!"

Tuanzi was stunned, and hurriedly got into Tang Jingxuan's arms, trying to protect Linglong Pavilion to prevent all the unworthy Taotao from being fed to fish.

The three of them chatted for a few words, but before they could throw their poles into the pond, the maid from Duobao Pond came over carrying a tea bowl, melon seeds and snacks, and knelt down next to the tea table:

"This is the tea and snacks sent by the host. Please use them with caution, three guests."

As he spoke, he poured a cup of tea for each of the three of them.

Zuo Lingquan had an easy-going personality and never looked down upon his servants, so he only used his hand to support the tea cup.

At first he didn't pay attention to the maid's face, but when the maid got up and walked back to the round building, he suddenly discovered...

I found that this maid has a really good figure, with narrow shoulders and round hips...

After just a few glances, Tang Jingxun, who was sitting next to him, looked sour and pinched Zuo Lingquan's waist:

"My lord, what are you looking at?"

"hiss--"

Zuo Lingquan quickly turned around, not knowing why his eyes were caught by the waist and hips of a maid, and said seriously:

"Nothing, just take a look."

"That maid's butt is quite round. I think she can squeeze out some water if she squeezes it with her hands..."

"Oh~ when you are out, there are many people and you don't want to talk about this."

"You dare to look at it, but you're not allowed to talk about it? Isn't that right, Qiutao?"

Xie Qiutao held back her laughter while holding the fishing rod, pretending she didn't hear anything.

Zuo Lingquan looked helpless and picked up the tea cup to take a sip to relieve the embarrassment.

But as soon as he put the tea cup to his mouth, Zuo Lingquan was stunned again. Looking at the energetic tea and the crystal clear tea leaves, he said unexpectedly:

"Duobaotan is very generous. This tea is not cheap at first glance."

Xie Qiutao heard the sound and picked up his teacup and took a sip:

"Hmm... Yuhua Maojian from Ziluo Peak, ten white jade bahts in a pot, it's not bad."

Ten white jade baht?

Zuo Lingquan was a little confused. Judging from the color and quality of the tea, he believed it if it was said to be worth ten gold-lined baht per pot.

Zuo Lingquan didn't study tea ceremony deeply, and he didn't care too much. After making sure it was OK, he took a sip.

It's bitter in the mouth and has no special taste other than that.

When Zuo Lingquan's tea was in his mouth, he felt a little disappointed in his heart, feeling that it was far inferior to the fairy tea from Rich Woman Baby.

But at the same time as he felt the slightly bitter taste of the tea, Zuo Lingquan somehow, through this bitter taste, recalled his unwillingness and despair when he learned that he could not practice cultivation.

He had long resisted this hardship and swept it away from his mind in an instant, but the face of Shangguan Ancestor immediately appeared in his mind, and a trace of tangle flashed through his heart.

The entanglement comes from the thoughts buried deep in his heart - what if he falls in love with his ancestor one day, and his character is tough and stubborn, but what if he refuses to agree?

I had never dared to think about this question before, but Zuo Lingquan knew the answer - my mother said that if you don't like yourself, just go for it, and you can still hope that your daughter's family will fail.

Therefore, Zuo Lingquan quickly brushed away this inexplicable thought.

Next, Zuo Lingquan recalled that he had touched Lord Peach Blossom's breasts. They were big and soft, and he had taken advantage of them. However, Lord Peach Blossom did not let him take responsibility. He felt indebted. He wanted to take responsibility, but he felt that he did not want it. Face.

The solution to this problem is not much different from that of Shangguan Patriarch.

As for the rest, since Zuo Lingquan started practicing, his goal has been to the extreme, nothing more than reaching the top of the mountain to gain the strength to protect those around him. There is nothing he feels guilty about in his life, let alone self-destruction and self-doubt, so where does the other knot come from?

Zuo Lingquan picked up the teacup and drank it all in a daze. When he put the teacup down, his mind was free of distractions and he began to savor the taste of the tea. The result was...

That's it?

Zuo Lingquan looked down at the teacup and shook his head:

"No wonder it's so cheap. A lot of natural treasures have been added. I can't taste any flavor. It feels like a rare treasure soup, flashy and superficial."

"Only ten white jade beads, drink it."

"I feel that ten are too expensive, it's better than boiled water..."

...

-----

On the other side.

The young woman wearing a flower hairpin stood in a secluded place in the round building, looking at the man and woman who were discussing tea, her eyes slightly gloomy.

"Rare treasure soup? Humph... I remember it so clearly..."

The hairpin young woman muttered to herself, and her eyes returned to the bowl of tea, with suspicion in her eyes.

She had just carefully observed Zuo Lingquan drinking tea, picking up the cup to drink tea, and putting it down naturally, as if he didn't breathe at all, let alone be in a daze.

The hairpin young woman had a psychological expectation for this result, but she didn't expect that Zuo Lingquan didn't even taste anything.

The fairy tea bought with a hundred gold coins must have some taste, right?

It can be described as "rare treasure soup" in a derogatory way, or even said that it is not as good as boiled water, but it's not that bad...

There is no reaction, and the taste is not right. Could it be that Chu Yi, that bastard, is selling fakes to trick me?

The hairpin young woman frowned, thinking that the local gang was really rude!

She waited for half an hour in the same place, and after confirming that Zuo Lingquan didn't show any reaction, she disappeared in a flash, and when she appeared again, she had returned to the old teahouse in a remote alley.

The lights were on in the teahouse. The little girl was writing on the table. Chu Yi was still dozing on the recliner.

The door curtain was lifted.

Chu Yi opened his eyes and saw the hairpin girl who came in. He was obviously stunned:

"Daoyou came back, did you forget something?"

The hairpin girl looked unhappy. She sat down at the tea table and said coldly:

"The tea you gave me is fake?"

Chu Yi was stunned again, sat up straight, and thought for a while:

"Daoyou...what do you mean?"

"I didn't have any reaction after drinking it. It tasted like boiled water. Are you sure it's Jinghua tea?"

No reaction at all?

Chu Yi frowned, feeling like he wanted to laugh at a big joke, but worried that what he said was true, and he looked like a fool. He thought about it:

"Daoyou are sure?"

The hairpin girl knew that Chu Yi would not admit it without evidence. She flipped her palm lightly and condensed a water curtain in her palm.

The water curtain was pitch black, with only the outline of a figure. The figure could be seen as a man, but his clothes and face were very blurry, and only his movements could be roughly seen.

Chu Yi was a man of high level, and he could tell that the picture was not fake, so he squinted his eyes to check it carefully.

The man in the water curtain took a sip of the teacup, paused for a moment, then drank it all in one gulp and put the teacup down.

Overall, there was indeed no special reaction, but Chu Yi's eyes showed disbelief, and the little girl next to him raised her head:

"Wow! This man..."

The hairpin girl saw the expressions of the old and the young, and her face gradually disappeared. She frowned and said:

"How?"

Chu Yi sat on the recliner, his eyes showing shock. He was silent for a long time before asking:

"Are you sure you didn't cheat?"

"I also want to ask if you sell fakes, and you say I cheated?"

"..."

Chu Yi nodded slightly, and the disbelief on his face became more obvious.

Chu Yi has seen too many young people in the teahouse, and he can tell the reaction after drinking tea at a glance.

The man in the picture just now did not breathe, but he drank it all in one gulp after taking a sip. It is obvious that he was distracted and drank it all in one gulp subconsciously.

This shows that the man is a serious cultivator who is climbing up the mountain. The mirror flower tea evoked the waves in his heart in the past, so he lost his mind. He is not a strange person in the world with no ambitions and no desires.

But the time of trance is very short. If you count it by one breath, it is at most two breaths.

Being able to clear away countless depressions since childhood in two breaths shows that this boy has a pure mind, almost flawless, and his goal is determined to the extreme.

This situation is very abnormal!

Because people will not make mistakes after they grow up, but what they do before they grow up cannot be controlled.

For example, when he was two or three years old, he would make a scene to buy candy and kites. Only when he grew up did he understand that his family was poor and his parents had a hard time. Such trivial things could easily become waves in people's hearts, and they would feel guilty and self-blame whenever they thought of them.

If he could clear his mind in two breaths, it means that he was either as sensible as an adult since he was two or three years old, had never done anything wrong, and was extremely confident and had a heart of iron; or he was extremely heartless, even more ruthless and ungrateful than Lu Jianchen was back then.

The former is more terrible than the latter, because people who are naturally ruthless can easily go astray and be targeted by people all over the world. It is a hundred times more difficult for them to climb to the top of the mountain without help than ordinary people.

The former, however, knows how to behave since childhood, and will not leave irreparable regrets in their hearts. Naturally, they have a flawless heart, and their connections will help them. In addition, they are focused on their goals and have a heart of iron. It is impossible to imagine how high their upper limit is.

Fortunately, this person was stunned for two breaths, which showed that he was still hesitating and unable to make a decision in his heart.

The knot that can make such a genius hesitate must be a major event related to the way of heaven and the people. It is definitely not easy to see through and straighten it out.

However, even so, he was only in a trance for two breaths, which is a genius that Chu Yi has never seen before. His weight in the future cultivation must be terrifying; once the knot is straightened out, he will not be surprised to open up the way of immortality, unify the nine continents and become the "Immortal Emperor" in the future.

If this person is asked to carve words, and he comes to appreciate the spirit between the lines, he may really lose the motivation to move forward...

Chu Yi was silent for a long time, then sighed, and took out a bag of immortal money with a light flip of his wrist and put it on the table:

"If you didn't do anything, I am willing to accept the loss. This bag of colorful money is just a friend of mine. If there is a chance in the future, I hope you will let me know and let me meet this promising junior."

The hairpin woman was very confident. She was not surprised to hear this evaluation, and she thought it was natural. She was about to speak, but frowned and looked outside:

"Is this... sword intent?"

Chu Yi also sensed something, looked at a certain place in the market, and his face darkened:

"Hmph! He dared to draw his sword in Thunder Cliff. I guess he is a rookie who just came out of the mountain. He relies on a little swordsmanship from his master and doesn't know how high the sky is and how deep the earth is. Excuse me, I'll be back soon."

After saying that, Chu Yi disappeared in the shop.

The hairpin young woman's eyes showed confusion at this time, and she said secretly, "Fishing is fishing, why chop off people's heads? I just gave you a good karma, and now I have to beat you..." She also left the shop silently...
