Chapter 24: Eat it or not? If not, don’t waste it.

The Great Elder looked around and smiled slightly.

"Our sect's grand competition is approaching, so why not bring it forward a few days and use this opportunity to let the disciples of each sect compete. Everyone here is extremely talented, so I'll give you the treasures left behind by the divine beast Bai Ze as a prize."

"But the treasures are limited. If you are not as skilled as others and fail to share the treasures, you can't blame my sect for being stingy."

Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment. The solution proposed by the Great Elder was reasonable, but the only ones with strong power were the chiefs of the major sects. How should the smaller sects and schools cope with the situation?

You can't just be a supporting role.

"Here are three top-grade holy colored fish and five glazed jade plum branches. They are all divine objects stained with Bai Ze's aura. I'm sure you can easily see them."

The Great Elder wrapped them in water and showed them to everyone, and those who knew the value of them were immediately dazzled.

"Indeed, the elder did not lie."

The Tianji Sect is the most conscientious and can't stop praising it.

"Even without Bai Ze's legacy, this Holy Color Fish is still a top-notch treasure. It can help those in the God Transformation Stage reach a higher level. Do you have any objections to the sincerity of my Juetian Sect?"

The Great Elder glanced at Jiang Jiu vaguely as he spoke.

Jiang Jiu's face suddenly turned cold. She was really angry, not because of facial paralysis.

"I'm just not strong enough now so I'm letting you guys go. Just wait and see! When I'm stronger than you, I'll make you spit it all out."

The more Jiang Jiu thought about it, the angrier he became, and the heavier his resentment became. The low pressure around him almost froze him to death.

"You all bully me because I'm socially anxious and weak! ! ! ! "

Except for the Juetian Sect disciples who were used to Jiang Jiu's gloomy face, the disciples of other sects became more and more curious about Jiang Jiu.

Even as the direct disciple of Sword Immortal Ji Chen, you are not qualified to show such a disposition at such a solemn gathering, right?

"Too rigid can easily break. Being accepted as Ji Chen's disciple at such a young age, I'm afraid he's getting carried away."

"With such a proud character, he would be obedient after a beating."

"It was her yesterday, too, looking so arrogant."

"If I meet her in the competition, I will definitely teach her a lesson."

The private coded discussions were full of malice towards Jiang Jiu, and even Jiang Jiu didn't realize that he had made so many enemies invisibly.

Of course, the Great Elder didn't care about the younger generation's resentment. He just wanted to teach her a lesson.

No matter how fast Jiang Jiu practiced, he could not catch up with his five hundred years of cultivation.

There's no way she'd make a scene.

"Of course, my Jueyun Sect is willing to pay out of our own pocket to support the competition. Even if we don't take first place, we have prepared some spirit stones, skills, sword embryos, and spiritual objects as prizes."

After the Great Elder said this, no one had any objections anymore.

After all, it was Bai Ze who appeared in someone else's sect, and they joined forces to get a piece of the pie.

But now that the Juetian Sect is so sincere and willing to compensate other sects, even if they take the lion's share, it would be difficult for them to ask for more.

"Juetian Sect is worthy of being the number one sect, it's so majestic and imposing."

Representatives from several sects and the chief disciples exchanged glances, and they all understood what they meant.

There must be more treasures left by the Juetian Sect. There is a trace of the Great Dao in Bai Ze's breath, which can play a vital role in ascension. As for improving cultivation, it is better than nothing.

What makes us human is that we use methods other than force to communicate.

Since it exists, you can buy it with spirit stones.

If it doesn't work, it must be because there are not enough spirit stones.

As the banquet was coming to an end, Jiang Jiu made an excuse to run away. She wanted to go back and practice hard, and strive to defeat those hypocritical villains as soon as possible!

But he didn't expect to be stopped by Ji Chen outside the hall.

"for you."

Ji Chen handed Jiang Jiu a Qiankun Ring. Jiang Jiu took two seconds to react to what was inside before she remembered the half of the treasure that Ji Chen had helped her take out from the mouths of the elders.

Jiang Jiu looked at Ji Chen's face, which was as cold as an immortal, and his useless heart skipped a beat.

Jiang Jiu looked inside again. There were at least two hundred fish and several complete glazed jade plum trees. She thought about it and realized that she couldn't use them for the time being. Ji Chen seemed to have reached the Mahayana stage and was about to pass the tribulation, so he definitely needed them more than she did.

She also remembered many locations for in-game missions, which contained many treasures that were even more valuable.

She doesn't mind that.

Besides, Ji Chen had helped her many times before, but he didn’t want this treasure, so it would be better to give him half.

It's just right to increase his favorability, and if the plot really happens, he can still remember the old times.

"Leave half for Master, Master, please hurry..."

As Jiang Jiu was speaking, she suddenly remembered that she shouldn't know Ji Chen's cultivation level. She quickly swallowed the words in her throat and almost choked herself to death.

Fortunately, she had facial paralysis, so she didn't lose her composure too much.

"Ahem, if Master hadn't asked, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to get these. I should show my respect to Master."

Ji Chen's light brown eyes looked at Jiang Jiu quietly, without speaking for a long time.

Jiang Jiu felt more and more hollow as she looked at by a pair of eyes as clear as glass, as if Ji Chen had seen through her.

After a while, Ji Chen said "hmm" lightly.

His eyelashes, as long as crow feathers, drooped slightly, and the strange color in his eyes disappeared. He took out some of the things in the Qiankun Ring.

I don’t know if it was Jiang Jiu’s illusion, but at that moment, Ji Chen’s pupil color seemed to have faded?

"These are indeed useful to me, Master. I owe you a promise."

After Ji Chen finished speaking, he flew away on his sword with his sleeves fluttering, without giving Jiang Jiu any chance to speak.

“…”

Ginger Wine has mixed feelings.

There was no need to leave in such a hurry. She really wanted to give it to him and was not just being polite.

...

As soon as Jiang Jiu returned to Qingyun Peak, he couldn't wait to open the Qiankun bag, which contained a huge fortune.

Compared to those treasures that have not yet been dug out, this is ready-made.

Although the more you eat this holy fish, the worse the effect will be.

But if she could exchange it for resources, it would be enough for her to cultivate to the Nascent Soul stage and break through without any problem.

After the competition is over, I can give those elders a hard time.

However, Jiang Jiu still found it difficult to eat the beautiful-looking Shengcai fish in his hand.

She couldn't get over the idea of ​​eating raw fish. As a true Chinese, eating cooked food is ingrained in her genes.

Of course, special recipes from certain regions are not included.

The fish rolled his eyes at the ginger wine several times, as if to say, "Do you want to eat it or not? If not, don't waste it."

Finally, Jiang Jiu swallowed his saliva, closed his eyes, made up his mind, opened his mouth and bit it.

The moment it took a sip, it did not have the fishy smell that Jiang Jiu had imagined. Instead, the meat was tender and delicious. Jiang Jiu's eyes lit up at that moment.

Like a weasel that stole the chicken.

“It’s so delicious.”

The delicious taste successfully helped Jiang Jiu overcome his psychological barriers, and he ate the whole fish in no time.

Heat surged in his body, and a huge amount of spiritual energy spread to his limbs and bones. Based on this amount, Jiang Jiu felt that he would have no problem breaking through to the Golden Core stage on the spot.

But the next moment, the Bai Ze long spear that was entrenched in Jiang Jiu's dantian began to absorb water like the Dragon King.

Jiang Jiu's absorption speed was no match for Bai Ze's efficiency. Before she could break through the initial stage of foundation building, the spiritual energy of the entire fish had been completely consumed.

“…”

Ginger wine was silent.

Unexpectedly, she actually picked up a medicine old man and came back...

I should have known not to go to that cave.

However, thinking that Bai Ze Changji had protected her once before, Jiang Jiu could only sigh silently.

"Haha, it's just a fish... There are still many in the Qiankun Ring. It's okay, I have a good attitude."

“Really, I have a very good attitude.”

What Jiang Jiu is best at is comforting himself.

So, in the following time, Jiang Jiu and Bai Ze consumed a total of forty-eight Holy Color Fish before they could barely reach the great perfection of foundation building, but had not yet broken through to the Golden Core stage.

"Okay, I'm much better than the loser who swallows up gold."

Seeing that Bai Ze showed no signs of waking up, Jiang Jiu had no choice but to bite the bullet and show off another one.

The originally delicious Shengcai fish now tastes like chewing wax when eaten with ginger wine. It's so sad.

"Brother, that's enough. If you keep snatching me, I'll die..."

Before eating, Jiang Jiu silently said to Bai Ze in his dantian that Jiang Jiu could not compete with Bai Ze in terms of the spiritual energy produced by the Holy Colorful Fish and could only absorb a little bit.

If these fish were not caught from the Bai Ze Cave, Jiang Jiu would have fainted from anger long ago.

With so many resources, we should at least reach an average level before the big competition, right?

He's not even in the Jindan stage, so what can he compare with? This is purely embarrassing for Ji Chen.

He ate the holy colorful fish one by one. If other people saw it, they would definitely be furious and say that Jiang Jiu was wasting food, but Jiang Jiu just felt extremely bad.

Jiang Jiu had no idea how incredible she was.

In the game, you only need to upgrade with one click, but in the world of cultivation, absorbing natural treasures requires a lot of energy and time.

It takes at least a month for a normal cultivator to digest the spiritual power of a Holy Color Fish, and there will also be a loss of spiritual energy.

Anyone else would probably be dragged to death by Bai Ze.

But ginger wine is different.

Not only can she absorb spiritual power perfectly without any waste, but her absorption speed is also astonishingly fast.

I ate Shengcai fish from the afternoon until midnight. Who would believe it if I told them...

"Come on, Ginger Wine, you're the fattest!"

Finally, after eating this fish, the bottleneck of the Jindan stage began to loosen.

In an instant, dense mist spread from Qingyun Peak, gradually covering the entire Juetian Sect, and a colorful aurora burst out from the night sky.

Wake everyone up from their sleep.

If the last vision only appeared on the main peak of Juetian Sect, then this time even the foot of the mountain of Juetian Sect was completely covered by Jiang Jiu's breakthrough vision.
