Chapter 63 Medicine Alliance 3
"My master is the Peak Master of Medicine Peak."
"I studied under the Venerable Qingxu."
“He was a disciple of True Lord Qingyang.”
The four introduced themselves and their respective schools. When Cheng Jiu finished talking about his master, Xiao Ming's face turned pale. He seemed to have suffered a huge blow, his face was ashen, and he was swaying as if he were about to collapse.
Dan Yuan Zunjun, who was standing to the side, also glanced at his little disciple with some surprise. He had not expected that his new friends would have such extraordinary backgrounds.
However, he wouldn't pass up the opportunity to kick someone when they're down: "Since Elder Xiao Ming said that we can't easily let these people who caused trouble in the Medicine Alliance go, let's do as the elder says!"
Elder Xiao Ming reacted as if a cat had been stepped on: "Dan Yuan, what nonsense are you talking about? I never said such a thing!"
"I remember you seemed to have used your aura to attack them just now. Qingxu only has this one precious disciple. If he finds out, what will happen?" Dan Yuan Venerable said slowly.
But at this moment, Elder Xiao Ming found him particularly hateful. However, his fear of Venerable Qingxu overwhelmed everything: "This matter was due to our Medicine Alliance's negligence and poor hospitality. Please forgive this junior nephew." After saying this, he took off the storage ring in his hand and stuffed it into Cheng Jiu's arms.
The group had thought they would have to summon their master to resolve the issue. They never expected that simply mentioning the name of Venerable Qingxu would resolve it so easily. They had never seen a Mahayana Immortal Lord so obsequious to a Golden Core cultivator.
"Dad, what's wrong with you? They're bullying me!" Xiao Fan, standing to the side, was puzzled by his father's drastic change in attitude.
Qingxu Venerable Lord sounds like just a Tribulation Transcending cultivator, so why is my father so afraid? He's a Mahayana Immortal Lord!
"That's your honor." Xiao Ming glared at Xiao Fan with annoyance. If Cheng Jiu, that little girl, really let that evil star Qingxu come to Medicine King Valley, he would stuff Xiao Fan back into his mother's womb!
This idiot not only tricks people in the past, but he almost dragged his own father into the abyss.
Dan Yuan Venerable Lord did not dwell on the topic, after all, using the Venerable Lords of other sects to undermine the prestige of his own Transformation Lord would only make him a laughingstock.
"Shaoyuan, you and your friends should leave first. Your Uncle-Master Xiao Ming and I still have things to discuss." Danyuan Venerable looked at his little disciple, who was standing there like a wooden statue, with disdain.
Liu Shaoyuan didn't expect things to end so abruptly. He thought his master would have to fight Xiao Ming, the Great Ascension Immortal Lord, for several more rounds, but it ended so abruptly.
When they walked out of the Hall of Law Enforcement, the four of them were still confused. Liu Shaoyuan, being the host, saw their puzzled looks and explained the glorious achievements of Lord Qingxu in his youth.
After all, he was a genius of his generation. When he was young, Qingxu Venerable was very arrogant and famous in the five major sects. He often carried his Qingxu Sword to challenge powerful figures everywhere, and he did not even spare the alchemists in Medicine King Valley.
Later, after learning alchemy, he became even more ruthless, killing not only people but also those who were skilled in alchemy. Elder Xiao Ming, who was old but strong, was also one of his challengers. Not only could he not defeat Qingxu Venerable in terms of martial arts, but he was also subjected to Qingxu Venerable's psychological attacks in his area of expertise.
It once became a psychological shadow for the alchemists of Medicine King Valley. Only in recent years, for some reason, has the Venerable Qingxu begun to cultivate his mind and body, and people have gradually forgotten his deeds.
But for Elder Xiao Ming, who experienced it firsthand, it left a lifelong shadow.
Most importantly, the lineage of Qingxu Zunjun is extremely protective of its own. As long as one doesn't commit murder or arson, even if one causes a huge disaster, there will be a master to help clean up the mess. Even if one suffers a loss outside, there will be a master to help get revenge.
Therefore, Elder Xiao Ming was extremely unwilling to see this evil god again, because Venerable Qingxu was truly ruthless!
When Cheng Jiu and Gong Yu thought of Qingxu Zunjun's ethereal demeanor, they could never have imagined that he had such glorious achievements in his youth.
Upon arriving at Baofu Inn, Liu Shaoyuan said warmly, "Since you're staying at Baofu Inn, I'll treat you to a meal as an apology for today. The fish soup at Baofu Inn is delicious and highly praised by the cat tribe."
The four of them had no appetite or mood to eat because of what had happened that day, but after hearing what Liu Shaoyuan said, they suddenly became interested.
The dining area and the lodging area are in different locations. The dining area is located to the right front of the lodging area, where there is a large door that is only prepared for some muscular demons.
The space is expanded using a simulated space, forming a U-shaped structure, but instead of tables and chairs, it contains a series of small environments.
For example, the freshwater ponds and saltwater ponds prepared for aquatic and marine creatures are different. The plant-like creatures prefer forest environments, the beetle-like creatures prefer dry rocky environments, the beast-like creatures prefer dry nests, and the bird-like creatures are very picky about their environment; they will absolutely not choose a place if it is not aesthetically pleasing.
At the bottom is a small bridge and flowing water, but in the very center are layers upon layers of suspended arenas.
It was used to allow some warlike orcs to vent their energy and resolve conflicts.
Moreover, their battles can be watched by the surrounding guests, killing time and achieving multiple benefits.
Cheng Jiu carefully inspected the area and found that there were no tables, chairs, or private rooms provided for the human race.
"Junior Sister, which seat would you like to sit at?" Gong Cheng and Gong Yu had already been excitedly looking around at their surroundings. They even started arguing with Senior Sister Ying. One wanted to experience the comfort of the nest, while the other was very interested in the rainforest environment of the herbivorous tribe.
"Me? Let's see what Senior Brother Liu decides! After all, we've just arrived and aren't familiar with this place yet." Cheng Jiu looked at Liu Shaoyuan beside him.
"Stop arguing. Let's go to the bird clan's private room. The herbivore clan's place is too humid, and the beast clan's place is too dry. These two places are only good for ripping off outsiders like you who have just arrived in Medicine Dust City."
Liu Shaoyuan actually had some ulterior motives. He didn't mind going to those two private rooms, since they would have chosen them themselves if they ended up suffering losses, and they couldn't blame anyone else.
But after Cheng Jiu said that, and considering he was the host, he could only regretfully abandon his thoughts of gloating.
The bird tribe's private rooms are all about beauty, with gorgeous decorations everywhere, but there's one thing: there's no place to eat, only a series of small feeding troughs.
Liu Shaoyuan stepped on the largest crystal in the center, and a long table appeared out of thin air in the middle. The four people sat down on either side of Liu Shaoyuan, and could see the rhinoceros and water buffalo fighting in the arena.
Perhaps because it was human territory, they weren't fighting hand-to-hand, but rather displaying their horns and competing.
"Actually, these two aren't fighting; they're actually courting!" Liu Shaoyuan ordered his food and looked at the arena in front of him. "This kind of thing is always the most boring, but the female demons around here seem to enjoy it."
The four people who initially found it strange took a closer look and found that it was indeed true. The two male demons were showing off the strength of their horns, one using his horn to break a piece of wood, and the other about to use his horn to break a stone.
The bird and plant tribes were not very interested, but the horned female demons around them had their eyes light up as they watched the men fighting on the stage!
It might be rather boring for the people of Medicine Dust City. But for the four of them, it was the first time they had ever seen something like this, and they watched with great interest.
Soon after, someone brought over the food they had ordered. The first dish to arrive was a vegetarian dish, made by stir-frying lotus petals one by one and then plating it.
Because of the different lotus petals, this combination creates a unique and beautiful effect.
The second dish was steamed buns, which were very rustic. They were brought in on a large plate by two people.
The third dish was served in a very small cup, filled with beans.
The fourth dish was a mixed herbal decoction, made by mixing some sweet-tasting herbs with some special seasonings, somewhat like a salad platter.
The fifth course was a large piece of meat roasted with honey and spices, but it wouldn't be served on the table immediately. Instead, the person who delivered it set up a barbecue grill in the private room.
The food is freshly baked and served immediately. The two soups that followed were exquisitely prepared. For example, the fish soup had fish meat as thin as cicada wings, with all the fish bones removed. It was sprinkled with some green seasonings, giving it a fragrant aroma.
The soup has a watery sheen, looking like water, but with a silky texture.
Finally, there was a dessert. It was tightly wrapped like a flower bud, but when placed on the table, the petals slowly opened up when tapped with a gold needle, revealing the sweet flavor inside.
In addition to these dishes, three or four bottles of wine were also placed on the table.
Cheng Jiu and his three companions looked at these unfamiliar delicacies with great anticipation.
Cheng Jiu suddenly understood why Liu Shaoyuan only recommended the fish soup. The food on the table was really bland and tasteless. For example, the lotus root and the mixed medicinal herbs were not seasoned at all, showing the original flavor of the dishes.
As for the steamed buns and roasted meat, they were practically spice bombs, with an extremely rich flavor. As for the last bean, the rest of them were speechless.
Not only is it difficult to make, but most importantly, the taste is different. One bite and all kinds of flavors explode in your mouth, an indescribable feeling.
After tasting these different dishes, the group surprisingly felt that the fish soup was the most delicious food in the world!
Finally, there was that bowl of soup, which had a very rich flavor, but it suited everyone's taste.
