Chapter 45 The Victor

“Indeed, food is the most important thing in this world.”

Rong You confirmed their thoughts.

After completing the consultation, the Lingxiao Sect team officially set off!

As the team leader, Lin Luo also went to Yunjing with them. He led not only the Lingxiao Sect team, but also the teams from Danyun Palace and Buxu Sect. All the teams that won places in the Pearl Conference this time will be sent to Yunjing by the Lingxiao Sect.

They will go their separate ways when they go back, but many people will never go back after going to Juntian Sect.

The disciples of Qianqiu Pavilion did not get a place in the arena, so they did not appear on the flying boat. Yun Chigua felt it was a pity.

There were many storybooks on the flying boat of Lingxiao Sect. After the disciples of Lingxiao Sect boarded the flying boat, they went straight to the lounge. The disciples of Danyun Palace who were familiar with them also followed them. The disciples of Buxu Sect communicated with each other for a while and then chose another room to stay in.

Lin Luo also read the storybooks along the way and saw Yunjing. As soon as he got off the flying boat, Lin Luo saw a familiar shop.

Isn’t this Qianqiu Pavilion Pharmacy?

Yun Chigua was the first to rush up and greet An Yiru, and the disciples of Lingxiao Sect quickly joined in. As they chatted, they walked towards the food shop together.

Even the Buxu Sect disciples followed them.

Previously in the secret realm, when other sects were enjoying the delicacies, only the Buxu Sect disciples were tied to the side and could only smell the food. Now that they heard that there was something even more delicious, of course they all wanted to follow.

Lin Luo also found a place to sit down and paid the spirit stones on behalf of the disciples of Lingxiao Sect.

There were discounts for dining with disciples from Qianqiu Pavilion, so Lin Luo paid for the spirit stones from Qianqiu Pavilion as well.

The Buxu Sect disciple silently glanced at the prices on the menu and put it down.

In fact, the Buxu Sect is still very rich, but they don’t have much money. If they were not poor and had no social skills, who would practice so hard in the Buxu Sect?

Li Heng looked at Lin Luo who was sitting opposite him, his eyes full of unwillingness.

Hadn't this man invited the entire East Sea Alliance to the Lingxiao Sect as their guest for him? Now he was sitting right in front of him, so why was he so indifferent?

Where is Lin Luo's love for talent? A genius with a single fire root like him—

Li Heng caught a glimpse of someone familiar. He looked at her a few more times in disbelief and found that it was really her.

How could that useless piece of shit appear here?

Zhong Shu and he were born in the same year. There is a tradition in their county to test spiritual roots every ten years. In the early years, when he was unaware of it, he used to play with Zhong Shu. Ever since he found out that he only had fire spiritual roots, he never stayed with these useless people without spiritual roots again.

Being with them will only make him become more and more stupid. Trash without spiritual roots are all cowardly, incompetent and ignorant, while a genius with a single fire spiritual root like him is destined to be brave and wise. As the saying goes, "Birds of a feather flock together." Li Heng has understood this truth since he was a child.

Of course, everyone there understands this.

It was discovered that Li Heng's attitude towards Zhong Shu had changed drastically, and the local people's attitude towards Zhong Shu had also become extremely harsh. After the age of five, everything Li Heng ate, wore, and used was all provided by Zhong Shu's labor, but he never let this group of useless people without spiritual roots appear in front of him.

Only once. If it weren't for that time, Li Heng would have forgotten this person.

Zhong Shu actually came to his house and stole his food. He was indeed a waste without spiritual roots and had never been able to learn well since childhood. He beat Zhong Shu up at that time. He didn't expect that this guy who was as thin as firewood had such a bad feeling when fighting. It hurt his hands. He could only throw Zhong Shu to the backyard and let other people in the village do it.

Zhong Shu is not so thin now, so he didn't recognize her at first, but her body shape is still easy to recognize. Monks are usually eight feet tall, Zhong Shu is five feet tall, and Fang Ye sitting next to her is nine feet tall, which makes her height particularly obvious.

From Fang Ye's perspective, Zhong Shu looked very small.

She was a Fu cultivator, and before going out, Teacher Rong told her to be careful about the many things Fu cultivators were not allowed to eat. Fang Ye ate while checking internally, and when he felt that Zhong Shu could eat it, he brought a small dish to Zhong Shu.

It’s so small, you probably won’t be able to eat much, so just put it on a small plate.

The small plates in front of Zhong Shu were soon piled up.

It was not only Fang Ye who brought the dishes to her, but also many talented monks who had performed extremely well at the Pearl Conference before.

As they were carrying it, they even started arguing.

"Junior Sister Zhong, this dish is so soft and sticky that you can eat it even without teeth! It's definitely the most suitable dish for you on this table!"

"Junior Sister Zhong, my dish is definitely the best on the table. It's much more delicious than his. When we eat food, we shouldn't just consider whether it's suitable, but whether it tastes good, right?"

"Junior Sister Zhong, look how cute this dish is! Just looking at it makes you want to eat it, right?"

"Junior Sister Zhong, I've processed this sashimi again. You can definitely eat it. It's super delicious."

The other disciples glared at Cui Ji.

What amateur competitions do professionals participate in?

"Wow……"

Zhong Shu was so moved that tears flowed from the corners of his mouth.

The food in this shop is really delicious, but it is still far inferior to the dishes made by Teacher Rong.

Zhong Shu was fortunate enough to taste the delicious food made by Rong You.

When she first started, Teacher Xie would pause every time he walked past her during class.

At the beginning, Teacher Xie gave her a lot of spirit stones so that she could buy delicious food. Later, when Teacher Rong joined the sect, Teacher Xie shared the spirit meals from Li Tian Palace with her.

She was probably over the age at that time and her height didn't grow much, so she grew sideways and soon she was not so thin anymore.

Zhong Shu is even a little fat now.

Teacher Xie seemed very pleased with this. After spending time serving food in the Li Tian Palace, Teacher Xie's combat ability also improved a lot.

He never taught Fu Xiu how to fight before, but now Zhong Shu has learned it and even won fourth place in the Foundation Establishment Group at the Pearl Conference.

This fourth place was partly due to luck, as her height made many opponents underestimate her, but Teacher Xie was still very happy to get a ranking.

The entire Fufeng was very happy, and all the cultivators in Lingxiao Sect seemed to be very happy. On the day she won the ranking, many fellow disciples came to celebrate with her.

Only Li Heng, who was sitting diagonally across from her, was unhappy.

He was unhappy, and Zhong Shu was even happier.

She was so happy that she felt the taste of the food she ate was almost the same as the ones made by Teacher Rong.

After all, it was reformed by Cui Ji, so it will be very similar to Teacher Rong’s dishes.

Speaking of which, both of Shifeng’s food cultivators achieved very high rankings.

It is said that their arena competition is a rare and famous scene, but Zhong Shu feels that if there are food cultivators in the next Pearl Conference, such a scene should not be difficult to see.

This is how Cui Ji won.

After Cui Ji came on stage, he felt that the fight was very painful, so he asked the person on the other side if he could be gentler. If he did, he would make him a delicious dish.

The person on the other side was hesitant at first.

That was their first ring match. He hesitated for a long time and held up three fingers: "Three dishes, I admit defeat directly, is that okay with you?"

"Okay."

Both sides felt very successful.

The disciple in charge felt that this was not acceptable and was too outrageous.

But the elder of Qianqiu Pavilion who was in charge of this competition thought it was okay.

It’s absolutely amazing.

Cui Ji of Lingxiao Sect is a food cultivator. When he discusses food, he is talking about the esophagus. He used the esophagus to talk down the Dharma disciple opposite him. That is to say, at this moment, he made this Dharma cultivator feel that food is more important than his Dharma. This is a rare case of discussing the Tao with the Tao in a thousand years.

The way it appears is a little special, but this is a very rare scene, so of course it will be very special.

The food cultivators of Lingxiao Sect continued to discuss and become the second place in the Golden Core Group.

The first place was Sui Yan, who pinned them down before they could even open their mouths to speak. Otherwise, it would not have been a problem for them to tie for first place.

The esophagus is really amazing.

After finishing the delicious meal, Zhong Shu followed Lin Luo into Juntian Sect.

The people of Juntian Sect seemed very satisfied with the new recruits sent by Donghai this time, and they completed the process of registering them as registered disciples quite smoothly.

Then they can start taking classes in Juntian Sect.

Sui Yan went straight to the weapon class, Huang Jinyu was hesitant about several courses related to the weapon class, and Cen Xi wanted to eat something more.

Lin Luo felt complicated when he saw Cen Xi on the flying boat.

Cen Xi actually had complicated feelings himself.

Cen Xi never thought that he would end up in Juntian Sect.

She was just muddling along, and her cultivation level was very low, always staying in the Qi Refining Stage. However, because she had been eating spiritual meals for a long time, her spiritual energy reserves were quite high, but she just hadn't refined it. When she participated in the arena competition, she was placed in the Qi Refining Group, and she won the first place in the Qi Refining Group by relying on her spiritual power which had actually reached the Foundation Establishment Stage a long time ago.

Xie Xuan, who practiced more diligently than her, advanced to the Golden Core Stage because of his excessive diligence. He fought and died with a group of immortals and finally had no chance to join the Juntian Sect.

It's fate and time, it's really sad.

Cen Xi and Lin Luo separated at the gate of Juntian Sect, and met again in the takeout area of ​​the same food store.

The two of them stared at each other.

Cen Xi spoke first.

"Why don't you go practice swordplay?"

Lin Luo felt that this question was not asked correctly.

This should obviously be a question that he, as a teacher, should ask Cen Xi.

He asked back, "How many hours have you practiced today?"

Cen Xi argued confidently, "Teacher, you know I came to Lingxiao Sect just to hang out. You can't be influenced by someone like me who just wants to get by. You are a swordsman with great ambitions. You must strive for higher goals! Don't ask me questions like this. You should demand this of yourself!"

Lin Luo choked.

His delicious food was ready, and Lin Luo was about to leave with the bag, as he still had to practice sword skills.

Before leaving, he saw Cen Xi's large and small bags and couldn't help but ask, "How long will it take you to finish all these?"

Could it be that she really didn't plan to practice sword today?

"I'm bringing this back for Xie Xuan to eat."

Xie Xuan didn't get a ranking and looked very disappointed.

Lin Luo paused.

He also planned to bring it back for Xie Xuan to eat.

Xie Xuan can’t finish it, right?
