Chapter 179 Meow meow meow meow

While Zhang Qing and Wang Yue were lost in thought, the next chubby young man who was to participate in the selection had already walked up to the bronze mirror.

The young man was dressed elegantly, had a round head and a beer belly. He was none other than Li Fugui, the son of the Li family.

When Li Fugui stood in front of the mirror for a while, a simple and magnificent sound suddenly came from the bronze mirror.

The bronze mirror will only make such a sound when it detects extremely rare and precious spiritual roots!

Zhang Qing and Wang Yue came back to their senses instantly, and with great difficulty forced themselves to take their eyes off the roujiamo and look at the bronze mirror.

——After a violent shake, the mirror emitted golden light and froze on a handful of fresh soil.

Zhang Qing's eyes widened with surprise, and he announced:

"Earth attribute, spiritual root!"

This year's sect election is somewhat of a gap. The preliminary examination has already started for four hours. Not to mention those with natural spiritual roots, even those with three spiritual roots are pitifully few. Most of them have mixed spiritual roots or even no spiritual roots at all. I didn’t expect that a person with a natural spiritual root would suddenly appear!

Moreover, there are differences even between natural spiritual roots. Common spiritual roots are water and fire, and they are not uncommon in the Wanling Sect where many heroes gather. However, this earth-attributed spiritual root is extremely rare. It can be planted and used to make pills. It is a very precious attribute. If the news gets out, all sects will compete for it.

If they can find an earth-type skull in the preliminary selection, Zhang Qing and Wang Yue will also receive extra rewards.

Therefore, their expressions instantly became extremely happy, sweeping away their previous indifferent expressions, and they all looked at Li Fugui with smiles: "Congratulations, you passed the preliminary exam."

...Although the others were not clear about the value of the earth-type spiritual roots, they had guessed it a little after seeing the reactions of Zhang Qing and Wang Yue, and they looked at Li Fugui with envy, jealousy and hatred.

Everyone has their own destiny.

Li Fugui himself did not show any great joy.

He comes from a wealthy family and has been raised with all kinds of rare treasures since childhood, so this result is expected.

According to convention, whenever a trial-taker is found to have a natural spiritual root, one of Zhang Qing and Wang Yue will personally bring him into the sect to take part in the second test and introduce him to the various pavilion masters.

So Wang Yue continued to stay in front of the bronze mirror facing the remaining people in line.

Zhang Qing picked up the token in his hand, stepped forward, and bowed to Li Fugui:

"This trial participant, my name is Zhang Qing, you can just call me Senior Brother Zhang. Now I will take you into the sect to participate in the second round of selection."

After Zhang Qing finished speaking, he stood there with his sleeves rolled up, waiting for Li Fugui's answer.

However, Li Fugui did not answer.

Zhang Qing: “?”

Zhang Qing waited patiently and repeated what he had just said, but Li Fugui still did not answer. He just looked in a certain direction with a burning gaze.

...He was staring at Jian Yunlan who was holding a roujiamo.

Li Fugui's fat belly under his silk brocade clothes was trembling with excitement.

He wiped the sweat off his face with a handkerchief, swallowed his saliva, and mumbled involuntarily, as if the roujiamo had already rolled back and forth in his mouth several times:

"This pancake is obviously baked over a low fire. It's so thin and evenly baked, with layers of golden brown. When you take a bite of it while it's still hot, it's so fragrant... And the meat, the texture, the oiliness. The pancake is crispy, the meat is tender, and the juice is rich. When you take a bite, the juice flows from the corners of your mouth all the way to your elbows... Tsk tsk tsk tsk..."

Zhang Qing immediately put on a mask of pain.

It was obvious at first glance that Li Fugui was a man who loved to eat. Zhang Qing had originally forced himself to ignore it and had managed to suppress the greed in his heart. However, after listening to Li Fugui's description, he became angry again.

Master, please stop chanting! ! !

No no no, stop.

"This trial participant," Zhang Qing said patiently, after all, the other party had earth-type spiritual roots, which was really precious, "please follow me quickly, the second round of selection will start soon--"

Li Fugui turned a deaf ear to it.

"Trial? What trial? It doesn't matter. I have to eat that roujiamo." Li Fugui said in a trembling voice.

As he spoke, he began to move towards Jian Yunlan.

From pacing at the beginning, to quick steps later, and finally to a jog. Although he looks chubby, he runs very fast and Zhang Qing almost couldn't catch up with him.

...If this was an ordinary trial-taker, Zhang Qing would definitely let it go, but Li Fugui has an earth-type spiritual root! All the sects are fighting for it. If Zhang Qing loses this earth-type spiritual root, he will inevitably be punished by his master.

Therefore, he had no choice but to grit his teeth and follow Li Fugui's pace.

After a while, the two men stopped in front of the young man who was eating roujiamo, panting.

Jian Yunlan: “?”

Jian Yunlan had almost finished the roujiamo in his hand. He looked up at the two of them in confusion.

Li Fugui's face flushed, he was shy, and his chubby fingers were circling in front of him: "My dear brother, do you still have this roujiamo? Can I..."

Jian Yunlan: "Oh, sure."

Li Fugui and Zhang Qing: “……?”

Li Fugui has already prepared for the other party to ask for a huge sum of money - no matter whether the other party wants gold, silver, treasures, or silk and satin, he is willing to give it all in exchange for that bite of roujiamo! After all, that roujiamo is so delicious, it must be very precious.

Unexpectedly, Jian Yunlan agreed immediately.

Seeing Li Fugui stunned, Jian Yunlan directly took out another roujiamo from her bag and handed it to him with a smile: "Here."

After all, Jian Yunlan brought so many roujiamo in her bag just to share them with others!

“…”

Li Fugui took the roujiamo with trembling hands, his eyes flashing with hunger. He lowered his head and took a deep breath, smelling the wheat and meat aroma of the roujiamo.

Holding the fragrant roujiamo as if it were a priceless treasure, he no longer hesitated, lowered his head and took a big bite.

"ah……"

Tears welled up from Li Fugui's eyes.

When you take a bite, the steamed bun skin makes a "crunching" sound in your mouth, and the juice from the bun and meat gushes out.

The rich aroma of the braised meat explodes in your mouth, the stewed pork belly has distinct layers, the delicate lean meat has a crispy texture, and the fat is oily, all of which melt together in your mouth, and when chewed together with the plump and flexible steamed bun skin, it is so delicious that it will melt your soul!

Beside Li Fugui, Zhang Qing watched him eat such a delicious roujiamo, his eyes widened like copper bells, and his eyeballs were full of red bloodshot.

Zhang Qing was even forced to recite Buddhist scriptures silently in his heart.

Zhang Qing, you are an inner disciple, you can't lose face and be tempted by this roujiamo!

Li Fugui, on the other hand, ate quickly and hastily, as if he was afraid that someone would snatch his Roujiamo away. He gobbled it up with his cheeks bulging, and he swallowed the entire Roujiamo in just a few bites.

After licking the juice off his hands thoroughly, he looked at Jian Yunlan expectantly again: "Brother, can you give me another one..."

It is no exaggeration to say that he can eat at least ten roujiamo at a time, which are so delicious.

This first Roujiamo could only be considered an appetizer. Not only did it not fill my stomach, but because it was too delicious, it completely awakened all the gluttons in my stomach, which were now growling.

Who would have thought that Jian Yunlan, who had just readily taken out the roujiamo, hesitated this time.

"Yes, I can..." Jian Yunlan said hesitantly, "But, I have a request, can I?"

Li Fugui's mind was full of roujiamo, so he agreed immediately: "Of course, it's human nature. I, Li Fugui, the son of the richest man, am not unreasonable to eat for free! What do you want, natural treasures? Gold, silver, jade and stones? Just ask!"

Jian Yunlan was secretly delighted.

He glanced at Zhang Qing beside him, and said to Li Fugui with a smile: "It's not a big deal, it's just..."

"If you can take me with you to the second round of selection, I will give you this roujiamo."

Yes.

Everything is part of Jian Yunlan’s plan!

"That's it?" Li Fugui looked at Zhang Qing without even a second thought, "Brother Zhang, I want to take him to the second round of selection, otherwise I won't go!"

Zhang Qing: “…”

Zhang Qing: “…………”

Zhang Qing's expression froze, and his brain began to think furiously.

——First of all, Li Fugui has the earth-type spiritual root, which is extremely precious and rare. It is estimated that all the pavilion masters in the sect will rush to get him. If Zhang Qing made Li Fugui angry and left, the elders would probably cause trouble for him.

——Secondly, looking at Li Fugui’s character, Zhang Qing really believed that if he didn’t allow him to bring that Roujiamo boy, Li Fugui would really give up the selection directly. Moreover, there is a high probability that other sects have also extended olive branches to him.

——In the end, even if Roujiamo boy entered the second round of selection, it does not mean that he can become an inner disciple. Anyway, he is just a mixed spiritual root. If the pavilion masters do not like him, he will eventually be exiled to do menial work. And every year there are a few people with connections who pass the first round of selection...

Various interests went around in Zhang Qing's mind several times, but in reality only three seconds had passed.

Three seconds later, a look of disregard flashed across Zhang Qing's face: "Okay!"

Li Fugui and Jian Yunlan both showed joy and excitement on their faces.

"But..." Zhang Qing changed the subject, "I have a condition."

Jian Yunlan: "What conditions?"

Zhang Qing looked at him, then at the Roujiamo, then at him again. After looking back and forth several times, he gritted his teeth and said in pain, "Give me one of these Roujiamo too!"

“…”

Half an hour later.

Jian Yunlan, Li Fugui and Zhang Qing, a mysterious group of three, walked into the Wanling Sect.

The corners of Li Fugui's and Zhang Qing's mouths were greasy, their bellies were round, and they had happy expressions on their faces.

After entering the sect, Zhang Qing cleared his throat first, wiped his mouth carefully, then showed the token to others and continued to lead Jian Yunlan and Li Fugui to the second selection location.

"Senior Brother Zhang," Jian Yunlan asked casually, "Who is the examiner for the second round of selection?"

Zhang Qing said casually: "The second selection is to select inner disciples, of course, they are selected by the various pavilion masters themselves... However, if there are particularly talented people, maybe the Immortal Venerable will come forward."

Jian Yun's blue eyes moved slightly.

Zhang Qing saw it, but didn't think it was strange.

For the past hundred years, the Spirit Realm Immortal Master Mu Jue had been in seclusion. He just came out this year, and his cultivation level was half a step towards enlightenment. More than half of the test-takers from the Wanling Sect who came to take the test throughout the day came here to see the Immortal Master himself.

If you are lucky enough to be accepted as a personal disciple, it can be said that you can reach the top in one step.

However, it is somewhat wishful thinking for a person with mixed spiritual roots to catch the eye of the Immortal Lord.
