Chapter Nine Hundred and Sixtieth: People Do Their Duties(1/2)
Xia Rong originally wanted to send Shi Wu away from the Lingchen Session in person, but Shi Wu persuaded him to stop at the door.
Shi Wu knew very well that the sooner the news was passed to Ding Yang Lingshi, the greater the value it would be. He asked Xia Rong to be busy with his business first, and then he went down from the stair passage on the top floor to the Lingshi Hall.
Xia Rong said sincerely after Shi Wu left: "The style of fire-patterned spiritual chefs is really comfortable."
Xia Rong quickly walked to the exclusive secret room. He opened the defensive magic circle in the secret room and summoned the light and shadow clone of Ding Yangling's meal in his hand with the green jade plate in his hand.
The red and green light and shadow said before Xia Rong could speak: "He agreed."
Xia Rong replied: "No."
The red and green light and shadow spoke with anger: "It seems that he has secretly defected to Xuan Bing's side!"
"I don't think so." Xia Rong quickly informed Ding Yangling's light and shadow clone of the reason for Shi Wu's rejection and the news brought by Shi Wu.
The red and green light shadow looked shocked: "Xia Rong, I know you won't lie to me. But can you be sure what Shi Wu said is true? Zhang Wenling is a monk from the Holy Realm. He suffered a disaster in Luan Su Palace and was seriously injured so that he would not even be able to protect the ranking of the Lingchen Heaven List. How do you believe this kind of thing?"
Xia Rong said firmly: "Master, the Fire-Striped Spiritual Tribute does not need to deceive us on this matter. To take a step back, even if his news is false, it is not wrong to ask our spiritual tribute to compete for this ranking to prepare."
The red and green light and shadow concentrating, "This is too horrifying!"
"Master, if this matter is true, it will definitely not be hidden for long. At that time, we can see whether the Fire-Secret Spiritual Tribute is pretending to be goodwill or really having the will to surrender." Xia Rong said.
The Chi Qing Guangying nodded and said, "No, right! Then I will contact the spiritual chefs who are capable of competing for the 29th place in the spiritual food list in the future. If this news is heard, the third stronghold in the north will be in turmoil!"
Xia Rong begged: "Master, please don't talk about this matter openly. Luan Suling's meal manager is very proud. If we spread news about Zhang Wenling's meal manager first than the third stronghold in the north, it may lay the root of disaster for the future."
The red and green light and shadow felt Xia Rong's loyalty. He agreed: "I will remind them not to spread the word. Since Shi Wu did not agree to join our camp, you can make the assessment video of his third-grade spiritual chef public."
Xia Rong explained: "Master, the Fire Wild Spirit Tripster just asked me not to release his assessment images in the near future. He wanted to wait until the news about Zhang Wenling's trip to let me share the pressure of the third stronghold in the north with his promotion image."
The red green light and shadow clenched his fists with regret: "Why can such a talent be taken away by Luan Su's mean person!"
Xia Rong said aloud: "I had similar ideas before. However, the Fire-Screen Spiritual Tribute said that everyone works together for the Spiritual Tribute Alliance. If we need his help in the Spiritual Tribute in the future, he will have no choice but to define it."
The Chi Qing Light and Shadow recognized: "What a fire-patterned spiritual chef who knows how to be sensible and values affection! I hope he won't be gained by Xuan Jing."
Xia Rong said: "I will try my best to make friends with him in the future!"
The red and green light and shadow praised Xia Rong and said, "You have performed very well recently! I will send someone to send you three pieces of Jingling Lu at the late stage of the Return to Void. I will also reward you with your hometown Linglong Mountain in your name."
"Thank you, Master!" Xia Rong said gratefully.
The Chi Qing Guangying ordered: "I am not good to contact Luan Su in the near future. You are here to pay close attention to the situation at the third stronghold in the north, and report to me immediately if there is any movement!"
Xia Rong leaned over and bowed, "Sir, obey the order!"
Shi Wu quickly flew to a height of 30,000 feet after leaving the Spiritual Chef. He put away the Luan Su Palace token and the jade pendant of the spiritual chef, and changed his appearance and clothing to the appearance when he met Li Fei. Then he adjusted his external spiritual power while flying towards the residential area of the lower eighth-grade spiritual chef in the south.
The guard surnamed Zhang, who was on duty at the North Gate of the residential area, saw the man who was called the guide of Lingchen by Li Fei again appeared. He smiled and walked forward and said, "Fellow Daoist Xiaowu, are you here to find Li Feiling's meal teacher?"
Shi Wu, who was about to take out the voice transmission jade pendant and contact Li Fei, nodded and said, "Yes. Is he free now?"
The guard surnamed Zhang said enthusiastically: "I saw him buy a lot of spiritual food materials yesterday. I guess he is going to prepare for the exam for the seventh-grade spiritual food. I'll inform him for help."
Shi Wu bowed to the guard surnamed Zhang and said, "Thank you."
The guard surnamed Zhang took out a jade pendant and contacted Li Fei: "Teacher Li Feiling, the fellow Taoist who was looking for you last time is outside the north gate. Do you have time to come out to meet?"
Li Fei on the other end was stunned and said, "Is it Xiao Wu?"
The guard surnamed Zhang confirmed: "Yes."
Li Fei said excitedly: "I'll be here soon!"
The guard surnamed Zhang told Shi Wu: "Teacher Li Feiling will be here soon, please wait for a moment."
"Okay." Shi Wu replied.
The two guards next to the Zhang guard looked at each other, and then the guard on the left stepped forward and saluted to Shi Wu and said, "Fellow Daoist Xiaowu, I wonder what your relationship is with Li Feiling?"
Shi Wu asked back, "I remember that I didn't seem to need to answer these last time, right?"
The guard surnamed Zhang also stopped him and said, "Fang Da, don't harass foreign guests."
The guard standing on the right side of the guard surnamed Zhang said, "Brother Zhang, are you afraid of losing?"
Shi Wu frowned and said, "Afraid of losing?"
The guard named Fang Da said, "To be honest, the three of us made a bet on the relationship between you and Li Feiling last time. My brother Xu and I think you and Li Feiling should be friends. Brother Zhang believed that you were the junior of Li Feiling's meal. However, that bet was lost because of the gamble of Li Feiling's saying that you were the guide of his spiritual meal. So this time, we both wanted to understand."
Shi Wu was amused by Fang Da's straightforwardness and said, "How many good things have you bet on?"
"One hundred top-grade spirit stones." Fang Da said.
Shi Wu took out the storage bag for the Heavenly Tribulation Spirit Body to store the top-grade spirit stones and gave the three guards one hundred top-grade spirit stones each. He said, "I have received the favor of Li Feiling, and I am indeed a good friend to him. So you should win these two hundred top-grade spirit stones. As for the one hundred top-grade spirit stones of Zhang Weiwei, I would like to thank you for helping me report these two times. I hope the three will take care of Li Feiling more in the future."
The three guards did not expect that Shi Wu not only made a fortune but also helped them find a reason to accept the spirit stone. They immediately promised: "It must!"
Li Fei, who teleported forward, saw the guard surnamed Zhang at the door saying something to Shi Wu. He thought they were interrogating Shi Wu. He quickly handed out the identity of a spiritual chef, and said, "Old Zhang, this is my friend. Please help him prepare a token for entry."
The guard surnamed Zhang took the jade pendant and quickly obtained the entry token for Shi Wu. He asked Shi Wu: "The rules in it should still remember the little Wu Taoist mate."
"Remember." Shi Wu took the token of entry and said.
The guard surnamed Zhang smiled and said, "That Xiaowu fellow Taoist, come in with the chef Li Feiling to reminisce about the past."
Although Li Fei felt that the attitude of the guard at the door was a little strange, he didn't think much about it. He took Shi Wu to his mansion.
Shi Wu pointed to the stone bench in the yard and said, "Let's sit here for a while and bask in the sun."
Li Fei said: "You sit down first, I will cook a pot of spiritual tea for you."
Shi Wu stopped Li Fei and said, "No need. I just finished drinking from Xia Rong."
Li Fei sat down with him when he heard this. He cared and said, "Have your fire source been restored?"
In order not to worry Li Fei, Shi Wu told Li Fei that he would go into seclusion and restore the origin of fire consumed by participating in the fourth-grade spiritual food tutoring assessment. Now Shi Wu, who is going to use this as an excuse, was asked about it by Li Fei, and he couldn't help but smile and shake his head.
Seeing this, Li Fei said anxiously: "Is there something wrong with seclusion?"
Shi Wu hurriedly replied, "I'm fine. The last retreat went smoothly. I came here to see you."
Li Fei breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's good. I heard that you appeared in the Spiritual Food Seal yesterday, but you had already left when I rushed there. So I bought some Spiritual Food materials and prepared to participate in the second grade of spiritual food assessment."
Shi Wu encouraged Li Fei and said: "Practice makes perfect. I believe that Brother Li will be able to pass the assessment of the lower seventh-grade spiritual foodie."
Li Fei also said with confidence: "The most difficult assessment of the lower ninth-grade spiritual foodie for me has passed. I can definitely pass the rest if I only have one step at a time!"
Shi Wu took out the storage bag that the Heavenly Tribulation Spirit Body specially stored the immortal jade, and put five hundred immortal jades into a new storage bag. He handed the new storage bag to Li Fei's table: "Brother Li, give it to him."
Li Fei asked, "What is here?"
"It's some fairy jade. You can use it to buy spiritual meal recipes and spiritual meal ingredients." Shi Wudao.
Li Fei declined, "Xiaowu, I can't accept the fairy jade. The spirit stones on me can make me self-sufficient by refining spiritual meals. Your brother Li's spiritual meal is still very popular in the circle of the lower eighth-grade spiritual meals."
Shi Wu chuckled and picked up another storage bag containing eight audio and video stones and said, "That's just my happiness, I want to share the joy with Brother Li."
When Li Fei saw Shi Wu handing me another storage bag, he laughed and cried and said, "Then you are talking about what you are worth giving me the fairy jade."
Shi Wudao: "I passed the top third-grade spiritual foodie assessment."
"What!" Li Fei stood up in shock.
Shi Wu looked around and said, "Brother Li, don't be so loud."
Li Fei sat down and said, "Xiao Wu, you were not deliberately lying to let me take over the immortal jade, right?"
Shi Wu smiled and said, "If what I said is true, can Brother Li accept this immortal jade?"
Li Fei agreed: "Okay!"
Shi Wu reached out and signaled: "Please open the storage bag on the right, you will know after seeing it."
Li Fei picked up the storage bag with anticipation. After he opened it, he found that there were eight audio and video stones marked with good directions. After a moment of thinking, he immediately reacted: "Is this your video record during the assessment?"
Shi Wu nodded and said, "Yes. Brother Li can put away the other storage bag."
Li Fei put away the storage bag on the left as Shi Wu said. He asked Shi Wu: "Can I take a look at your promotion process?"
"Of course. This audio and video stone is for you." Shi Wudao.
Li Fei took out the eight audio and video stones and arranged them in the courtyard in the marked direction. With his spiritual power injected, the recorded images of the eight audio and video stones were displayed in front of him and Shi Wu.
Li Fei recognized that the invigilator of Shiwu was Xiao Yangling and Zhang Wenling, one of the pillars of the third stronghold in the north. He was even more convinced that what Shi Wu said before was true. He said happily for Shiwu: "Xiao Wu, congratulations!"
"Thank you, Brother Li." Shi Wu replied.
Li Fei looked at Shi Wu in the image and used the method of forming spiritual power to easily deal with the batch of blue infant fruits. He enviously said: "Xiao Wu, you are so amazing! I feel scared when I hear the resentment from those spiritual fruits, let alone refining them."
Shi Wu looked at the blue baby fruits and said, "Next time I will try to disperse them the moment the spirits are born, so that they will not make that grievance."
Li Fei joked: "You said it seems like you are afraid of hurting them."
Shiwu said seriously: "My spiritual silk threads are like torture to them."
Li Fei put away his joking expression. He felt that Shi Wu must have been under great pressure when refining. He accelerated the playback of the image. When he saw Shi Wu refining the Blue Infant Fruit and adjusting his breathing in place for half an hour, he thought that such a large batch of refining the return-to-empty level spiritual liquid really required a lot of fire origin. Fortunately, he knew that Shi Wu had passed the assessment. He watched it less nervously.
Shi Wu quietly accompanied Li Fei to see Xiao Yangling's meal tutor announce the assessment results.
Li Fei put away the eight audio and video stones and said with emotion: "Once your assessment video is announced this time, the third stronghold in the north will definitely add a lot of people who worship you."
Shi Wu reminded: "Brother Li, don't spread the video of this assessment for the time being. Something big has happened in the third major in the north. I want to help Luan Suling reduce some pressure."
