Chapter 249 Pre-War Preparation
The Dragon King said that he could not understand how things had developed to this point. Similarly, Taoist Tianming also did not understand how the Zhongzhou family dared to embarrass him in public.
Tianji Pavilion has always been the leading one in Zhongzhou. Although the aristocratic families have become increasingly powerful in the past hundred years, no one dared to say to its face that they would not listen to it. But at some point, the status of Tianji Pavilion was gone, and the people's hearts were no longer with it, so the aristocratic families actually came forward to represent Zhongzhou.
Now that this precedent has been set, who will take the Tianji Pavilion seriously? This matter cannot be let go like this.
He turned his gaze to the Dragon King with a dark face. He would certainly demand an explanation from the human race. Since they were unwilling to give birth to souls, then they would give birth to people. Humph, it didn't matter if the disciples of Tianji Pavilion got fewer places. They would regret it when too many of them died.
Everyone walked out of the secret realm. The Dragon King took back the Dingkun Pearl, snorted and left. Prime Minister Turtle announced on his behalf that in ten days, he would select monks to board the fairy island.
The second match of the competition was held on the Fairy Island. The party that obtained the inheritance would be the winner. In the past, everything would have ended there, but this year was different. The Dragon King found the leaders of various sects and the heads of aristocratic families and directly stated that the South China Sea aquatic creatures could not defend the Evil Spirit Cave, and the human race must contribute, and the human race would discuss how to contribute.
His attitude made the others very angry, but both sides felt aggrieved in the argument.
An evil spirit cave appeared on the seabed, which was a disaster for all living beings in this world. The Dragon King believed that it should be solved by everyone together, but because it was in the dragon clan's territory, the South China Sea aquatic creatures had guarded it for tens of thousands of years. The aquatic creatures had made great contributions and sacrifices, and now they could no longer defend it, so it was right for the human race to take action.
The human cultivators believe that whoever's area has an incident should be held responsible. There are evil spirit caves in the sea, battlefields of fallen gods on land, and powerful monsters that are suppressed.
The human race did not ask the water race to do anything after the incident, and the dragon race did not contribute to the God's Falling Battlefield over the past tens of thousands of years. Everyone was responsible for their own area. Why should the dragon race push the responsibility to us when they could not defend it? The Dragon King also designed an inexplicable Five States Competition, which cost the lives of countless human talents. The account has not been settled yet.
Not many people were concerned about the competition. Instead, the content of the quarrel between the Dragon King and the family heads was spread out, and everyone started a heated discussion. Some felt that the Dragon King was right, while others felt that the Dragon King was shirking responsibility. Everyone had his own reasons, and after several days of debate, there was still no conclusion.
Ye Qinglan came to Zhong Ling'er with her clairvoyance. Many people on the forum were curious about which side Zhong Ling'er would support, so they wanted her to express her opinion.
But Zhong Ling'er really didn't have time to think about these things, she was preparing for the trip to the fairy island.
For a foodie, one cannot miss the delicious seafood when visiting the seaside. However, Zhong Ling'er has an even bigger ambition; she wants to achieve seafood freedom on this trip to the South China Sea.
So when Ye Qinglan arrived, she was preparing the sauce with Xuanyuan Ying'er and Xuanyuan Bing'er according to a recipe.
Looking at the dozen or so jars labeled with flavors such as "spicy," "fresh and fragrant," and "mushroom," Ye Qinglan asked in surprise, "Junior Sister, are we preparing too much?"
Xuanyuan Ying'er waved her hand proudly, "That's nothing. I sent over a dozen stones, which will make at least a hundred jars. I have collected all the flavors in the world, and I guarantee that Junior Sister will eat something different for a month or two."
Zhong Linger licked her lips with a smile, "Senior Sister Ye, don't worry, I asked Uncle Five to refine a dozen ice jade boxes for me, and I will bring back a portion of all kinds of seafood for my senior brothers and sisters to taste."
Ye Qinglan also became interested when she heard this and immediately forgot the purpose of coming here.
"Junior sister, besides the seasoning, we also need a recipe. I just happened to see one in the library. Do you want me to find it for you?"
"No need, Senior Sister Ye. I asked Second Senior Brother to find our sect's portion, and Second Senior Brother said he would let me eat it when he learns how to make it!"
Xuanyuan Bing'er suddenly said, "My father asked everyone on Jiazhi Island to find a chef to learn how to cook seafood, and he also ordered that everyone must have two specialties before they can go."
"Hiss, Patriarch Xuanyuan is very courageous. I will go find the head master later and ask my fellow disciples to learn from him."
Ye Qinglan had an expression that said "we lost", which made Xuanyuan Bing'er and Xuanyuan Ying'er very proud.
"My father said that the South Sea is in Nanzhou. Since Junior Sister has come to us, we naturally have to entertain her with all our heart. There are also cultivators from other states, so we have to do our duty as a host."
Zhong Ling'er nodded repeatedly, highly agreeing with Xuanyuan Ying'er's words. The two heads of the Xuanyuan family had high emotional intelligence, no wonder this family could rule an entire state.
Two disciples came over and asked Zhong Ling'er and the others to leave the house. They saw a super-huge pot in the yard, big enough for a hundred people to take a bath.
Except for Zhong Ling'er, everyone else was shocked. "Junior Sister, you asked Uncle Fifth to refine this. It's ridiculously big, isn't it?"
Zhong Ling'er stood in front of the pot like a dwarf. After hearing this, she wiped her saliva and said, "Senior Sister Ye, you don't know this. The bodies of the creatures in the sea are very large. Take the Prime Minister Turtle, for example. He looks like a little old man, but his body is as big as a mountain. He has to be cut into five or six pieces before he can put it in this pot."
Prime Minister Turtle, who was sitting in front of the Taiqiong Mirror to eavesdrop on the news, shrank his neck in fear and decided that he must not offend Zhong Ling'er at all. The pot to stew him was ready, and he couldn't afford to offend her!
The pot was too big, so Zhong Ling'er took out an extra-large spirit beast bag to put it in. Then two disciples handed Zhong Ling'er a storage ring. Zhong Ling'er took out the things and saw that they were a barbecue rack and some cooking utensils.
Zhong Ling'er enthusiastically told everyone how to use these things. Many people in front of Taiqiong Mirror were also aroused to eat and wanted to go to the South China Sea.
"Junior sister has made thorough preparations. She went to the South China Sea just to eat."
"Before the South China Sea issue is resolved, she will eat up all the South China Sea aquatic creatures first."
"Nonsense, the aquatic creatures in the South China Sea are really huge. A crab that has become a spirit is no smaller than that pot, not to mention the unknown giant fish."
"Tsk, Junior Sister, what you said makes me want to eat seafood too. I know a very wonderful way to eat it. How about I go and tell Junior Sister about it?"
"Although it's not wrong for Junior Sister to be a little greedy, she is not preparing for going to the Fairy Island but preparing these things. Isn't that a bit unprofessional?"
"Junior sister must be very confident in getting the inheritance. I believe in her."
After seeing Zhong Ling'er's preparations for the meal, Ye Qinglan finally remembered the purpose of this trip and asked questions that everyone was concerned about.
Zhong Ling'er thought for a moment, "Let me give you an example. If a family's house is struck by lightning and catches fire, the homeowner must take responsibility to put out the fire, but the surrounding neighbors will not just watch, most of them will help put out the fire. Can you tell me why this is the case?"
