Chapter 167 Enlightenment
Chapter 167 Enlightenment
The smile on Sun Li's face immediately collapsed.
If Jiang Liqian is willing to come to Taotie Peak, the bloody things that could not be used as base ingredients before can now be added at will like ordinary ingredients.
At this time, his cuisine will surely reach a higher level.
Otherwise, if he could become good friends with Jiang Liqian, wouldn't he be able to use the thunder spiritual power as he pleases?
Unfortunately, Jiang Liqian saw through his little thoughts at a glance, and from what she said, it seemed that she was unwilling to help him anymore.
That's right, although they are both in Qimingzhai, they have very little contact and are not familiar with each other at all. At most, they are fellow disciples, not even friends. How can she bear to be bothered by him all the time?
But—there are so few cultivators with thunder spirit roots. She is the only one in the entire Qiankun Sect. Where can he find a replacement?!
"Li Qian—" He clasped his hands together and looked at her pitifully. "As long as you're willing to help me in the future, I won't bother you all the time. Please don't refuse me, okay? I'll give you three years of free hospitality cards. How about that?"
"Well..." Jiang Liqian pondered, frowning, as if it was difficult for him to make a decision.
Seeing this, Sun Li gritted his teeth and took out three wooden plaques engraved with Taotie symbols and handed them to her: "Three, no more!"
"Four dollars."
"Besides you, Shui Lian'er and Qin Beiyao, who else wants it?" Sun Li wondered.
Jiang Liqian's voice was a little soft, like a gust of wind blowing through the long street: "And my junior brother, Xu Youan."
Sun Li slapped his head hard. How could he forget this master?
Immediately putting on a smile, he nodded and swiftly took out another piece: "But we have a deal, one wooden sign cannot be worth more than thirty low-grade spirit stones per day. If it's less, there will be no refund, and if it's more, there will be compensation."
Jiang Liqian couldn't help but twitched the corner of his mouth: "It's better for you to do business at the summit."
Sun Li smiled and said: "It's all a losing business."
"..."
"Well, since you're here now, why don't you vote for me?"
"...One hundred low-grade spirit stones."
"You are no worse than I am at doing business.
"make a deal!"
-
After voting for Sun Li, Jiang Liqian put a hundred low-grade spirit stones into the storage bag and found an excuse to leave.
Coming to the deserted stairs, she called out Xinxin from her deep dream.
"Do you know where the illusion I just saw came from?"
Xinxin rubbed her sleepy eyes and shook her head like a rattle: "The little master doesn't know, how could Xinxin know?"
Jiang Li squinted his eyes and stared at her: "You really don't know?"
Xinxin nodded: "Of course."
"Then why can I feel the inner demon stirring?"
She was very sure that she felt nothing unusual before eating the Osmanthus Snow Balls, and after eating them, she didn't feel anything when she saw the heavy snow.
But when the scene suddenly changed and blood fell from the sky, she could feel that the backlash value of her inner demon was about to increase, but the scene disappeared too quickly and she was safe.
She had never seen any blood rain, so it was impossible for the backlash value to increase because of it. The only explanation was that she had never seen it, but her inner demon had seen it.
As for why she hadn't seen it but her inner demon had, she hadn't figured out the connection.
"Little Master," Xinxin tilted her head and looked at her ignorantly, "Xinxin is sleeping, why is she so restless? I don't understand what the little master is saying."
Can't understand?
Ah.
Jiang Liqian covered her eyes and smiled sarcastically.
It doesn't matter, she doesn't need anyone to tell her the answer.
She could find the answer herself.
"Go back."
After she finished speaking, she turned and walked out of the darkness, striding towards Sun Li.
Sun Li, who was tasting the delicacies of his fellow disciples, immediately made room for Jiang Liqian to taste the food when he saw her coming.
Jiang Liqian didn't move.
Sun Li looked at her puzzledly.
"I heard," Jiang Liqian pursed her lips, "that only the first fifty floors of the Greedy Pavilion are completely open to the public. After the fifty floors, you can see the enlightenment?"
Sun Li was surprised that she even knew this, but when she thought of her senior brother being the great killer Si Chuan, she assumed that he was the one who told her junior sister.
But he wanted to correct her: "It's not just a casual enlightenment, it's an enlightenment of food."
He waved his sleeve, and a small phantom of the Chanxiang Pavilion appeared in his hand.
"There are a total of 312 floors in the Chanxian Pavilion. The lower 50 floors are open to disciples from all peaks and have no special restrictions. However, the 262 floors above, while not explicitly stated to be open to disciples from Taotie Peak, are subject to numerous restrictions on each floor in order to proceed. And the only way to overcome these restrictions is to understand them."
“To understand the Dao of food is to understand the Dao fruit of each level of food.
"Except for the disciples of Taotie Peak, few disciples from other peaks are able to ascend and comprehend the Dao of Food. Therefore, the 262nd floor of the Chanxian Pavilion has become a convention. It is where Taotie Peak disciples challenge themselves and prove their strength. The higher the floors, the more they 'comprehend' about the Dao of Food."
"So," Sun Li looked at her, "Do you want to challenge me?"
Jiang Liqian nodded without hesitation.
Since the Osmanthus Snow Ball made by Sun Li, a young disciple who had just entered the sect, could make her inner demon so agitated, what about other disciples who had entered the sect longer?
Going up, there are the elders of the Chanxian Pavilion and even the delicacies made by the Peak Master, which must be more effective.
Although she knew she shouldn't be so serious, subconsciously, she really wanted to see clearly where the snowfield she was in was.
She wanted to write down all the details of the place, then slowly ask and search until she got the answer.
And the blood, the bones—she had never seen them before, but she felt inexplicably familiar with them.
She... wanted to see more clearly whose blood and bones were all there.
Sun Li couldn't understand why Jiang Liqian suddenly thought of challenging this, but he was happy to do her a favor for free, so he took her to the entrance of the fifty-first floor.
Jiang Liqian thanked him and was about to go inside, but was stopped by Sun Li.
He pointed at a stone toad statue with its mouth wide open at the door: "A low-grade spirit stone, a forbidden entrance."
"..."
This also requires spirit stones?
Sun Li's face didn't turn red, and his heart didn't beat fast. He even moved aside to make it easier for Jiang Liqian to throw the spirit stone in.
Jiang Liqian resisted the urge to roll her eyes and took out a low-grade spirit stone and put it in.
A faint halo of light appeared at the entrance of the fifty-first floor, and Jiang Liqian walked in.
Sun Li hurriedly reminded her from behind: "The higher you go, the stronger the backlash you'll face. Don't force yourself. Just know when to stop. You don't need this to prove yourself."
I don’t know if Jiang Liqian heard it or not. The halo on the restriction disappeared after Jiang Liqian’s figure disappeared.
