Chapter eight hundred and sixty-eight hone the mood
Chapter 868: Tempering the state of mind
About twenty miles west of Horned Python Mountain, there is a large mortal city with a dense population of about six to seven million people.
There are many pubs in the city, especially an inn called Zuixianlou in the west of the city.
There is home-brewed aged wine inside, and the rest of the dishes are also rare delicacies. There are even rumors that because they like the wine here, those cultivators with the power of land gods have also come here as guests.
Of course, this statement is too absurd and bizarre, and most people are still skeptical about it.
But regardless of whether Xianshi has been here before, it goes without saying that the food here is really delicious. Although the price of the dishes is obviously higher than that of other restaurants, there is still an endless stream of customers.
Li Si has been working as a waiter here for seven or eight years. He has grown from a young boy to a strong young man. Although he is just an ordinary waiter, he has an extraordinary appearance.
Over the years, I have saved dozens of taels of money through frugal living. Seeing that the Chinese New Year is coming in a few days, I am thinking about asking the matchmaker who lives in the East Village to arrange a marriage for me when I return home.
As the saying goes, men should get married when they are young, and women should get married when they are young. He was at the age where he was in the prime of life, so why didn't he want to have a woman who knew both coldness and warmth?
Adored by teenagers, these days when I see young and beautiful female guests, I can’t help but take a few more glances.
It was still early in the morning, and there were not many guests upstairs. Suddenly three figures came into Li Si's eyes.
One man and two women.
He looked to be no more than 20 years old, and the man walking in front was just that. He had an ordinary appearance, and you wouldn't recognize him if you were thrown into a crowd. Li Si thought he was even more handsome.
But the two women at the back, one is tall and the other is cute and lovable. Although they are not stunningly beautiful, they are definitely outstanding beauties. Especially, they have an indescribable temperament about them.
Although Li Si is a small clerk, he is quite knowledgeable in this Zuixian Tower. He has seen the daughter of the richest man in the city. Let’s not mention her appearance for now, but let’s talk about her graceful temperament, which is consistent with the two women in front of him.
Compared to, it is far inferior.
What are their origins?
What particularly surprised Li Si was that these two fairy-like beauties respected the ordinary man so much that they did not even dare to walk with him. They took two steps back slightly and followed obediently behind with lowered eyebrows.
Li Si's eyes widened. Could it be that the two women were actually this man's concubines... No, no, they looked more like maids.
He was filled with envy and an inexplicable jealousy in his heart, but he also knew that this young man's identity was probably not trivial and he was definitely not someone he could mess with, so he had no choice but to put on a smile and invite them to the private room upstairs.
Lin Xuan chose a seat by the window, casually ordered a dozen dishes and a bottle of wine, and waved Li Si to go.
"Sit down, why are you standing?" Lin Xuan glanced at the two women.
"Young maid doesn't dare, we will serve the young master here."
"As long as you are loyal to me, what's the use of these false etiquettes? Just sit down and sit down." Lin Xuan said lightly.
Since Lin Xuan had spoken, the two women naturally did not dare to disobey him. After thanking him, they sat down next to him.
Although immortal cultivators can live without food, Lin Xuan will never refuse this appetite. The food and wine here are indeed delicious. After taking a few bites, Lin Xuan showed a satisfied smile on his face.
However, compared with the master, the two women next to him were obviously not as interested. Seeing Lin Xuan enjoying the meal, Liu Xin and Lu Ying'er were both hesitant to speak.
"What's wrong, you don't want to eat?"
"Young Master, we are here to deal with the threat of Tianyuan Fang. News has come from inside that Li Yao Palace has sent a Nascent Soul Stage elder to take up the post of helmsman of the Youzhou sub-rudder. Now he is here
How come you are not in a hurry in this horned python mountain?" Liu Xin held the wine glass with her hand, but she couldn't drink it at all. She didn't understand how the young master could be in such a good mood when faced with such a complicated situation.
"Why should I be anxious? I can't solve the problem." Lin Xuan smiled at the corner of his mouth: "Don't worry, I came to this city for my own reasons."
"But..." Liu Xin was about to say more, but was stopped by Lu Ying'er: "Junior sister, don't try to persuade me. Since the young master is so sure, we just listen."
After saying this, the woman stood up and filled Lin Xuan's wine with a smile: "Master, I respect you."
After saying that, he raised his head and started to do it as a sign of respect.
Lin Xuan showed a hint of admiration in his eyes. He turned his head and said to Liu Xin: "Little girl, did you see it? I want to learn from your senior sister. Those who want to do great things must first calm down."
"Oh!" After all, Liu Xin has been the second pavilion master for so many years. A thoughtful look flashed on his face, and he got up and served Lin Xuan to drink and eat.
With fine wines and delicacies, and beauties persuading him to drink, Lin Xuan had rarely been so relaxed since he entered the world of immortality. He was surrounded by blood and blood every day, so he naturally wanted to have a good time when he got this opportunity.
After finishing the meal, he took the two girls to explore around the city, and stayed at Zuixian Tower that night. In addition to the tavern, it also had an inn.
It was still the same the next day. In this way, Lin Xuan spent several days eating, drinking and having fun in this city.
On the seventh day, Lu Ying'er was still calm, but Liu Xin was full of doubts, but she didn't dare to question the young master.
Lin Xuan didn't explain.
In fact, of course he did this not just for pleasure, but for two reasons.
First of all, I came here to inquire about information. As the saying goes, if you know yourself and the enemy, you can win a hundred battles. If it is just Lin Xuan, there is no need to worry about Li Yao Palace. What about two or three great monks? He can't defeat him, but
He was very confident in escaping. Even if Tianyuanfang was washed away with blood, what could the other party do? He couldn't just watch.
However, it is different now. Lin Xuan does not want to destroy Baixuan Pavilion. Nowadays, there are many sects in Tianyun's Twelve States, and Lin Xuan needs a force that can completely obey his orders.
In dealing with Tianyuanfang, they also want to develop it, but of course they cannot make it self-defeating and have a head-on collision with Li Yaogong.
The other party actually sent an old monster from the Nascent Soul Stage. This was different from his original idea. Could it be that Li Yaogong really wanted to set up a branch in Youzhou?
Lin Xuan was also a little unsure. He needed more information, and the best way to get it was to capture one of the opponent's disciples and use the soul-searching technique. It would definitely not work if he went to the main altar, as that would easily alert the enemy.
And Lin Xuan accidentally heard the legend of Zuixian Tower. Others may be doubtful, but Lin Xuan is sure that it is true. Although immortal cultivators can live without food, there are also many who are greedy for food and drink.
What's more, it doesn't matter if it's fake. This is the only place where mortals live near the Horned Python Mountain. The monks from Tianyuanfang will definitely come to buy some things regularly. As long as he waits and waits, he will definitely get the news he wants.
Besides this, Lin Xuan has other reasons for eating, drinking and having fun like a playboy.
Now he is an immortal cultivator in the middle stage of condensation. Especially after the birth of a baby, it only took three years to go from the early stage to the middle stage, relying on the power of the heart-eating magic peach. This speed is unprecedented if not unprecedented.
.
However, although upgrading too quickly is a happy event, it is not without its hidden dangers. Everything has advantages and disadvantages. It is a trivial matter to advance to the middle stage so quickly that the foundation is not solid. The key is that Lin Xuan's state of mind can't keep up.
The disadvantages have not been revealed yet, but if left unchecked, it will become a big hidden danger sooner or later.
In other words, Lin Xuan needs to temper his mentality.
But this so-called training is not like training one's mind and enduring hardships when he first stepped into the immortal path. It is of little use to him who has strong spiritual consciousness.
After much thought, Lin Xuan finally decided on a path... to eat, drink and have fun.
It sounds a bit outrageous, but the enjoyment in this world is the easiest way to wear down a person's will. Lin Xuan first escaped into the world of mortals, opened his mind to accept various temptations, and then went into seclusion to practice hard. There is a strong contrast between the two.
If a person is not strong-willed enough, he will never be able to bear it, just like a person who is used to eating delicacies from the mountains and seas, and suddenly one day, he can only eat pickles, and he will definitely not be able to bear it.
But Lin Xuan has to accept this pain. As long as he survives it, his mood will definitely take a step forward.
This is also the difficult part of immortality.
Of course, seven days was not enough. Unfortunately, Lin Xuan found the target he was looking for on this day.
Although he was having fun these past few days, he also quietly released his spiritual consciousness. With Lin Xuan's terrifying cultivation level, he was able to control every move of everyone in the city.
Lin Xuan felt that several immortal cultivators had entered the city, and their cultivation levels were not weak. The leader was actually in the middle stage of foundation building, and the other two were low-level disciples in the spiritual stage. Depending on the situation, they were not here to eat, drink and enjoy themselves in the city.
Just don't have any plans.
"Uncle Fang, this is Fuyang City. Although it is a residence for mortals, the delicious food in Zuixian Tower is truly unparalleled. Give it a try and you will definitely be satisfied."
The three immortal cultivators have now changed into mortal clothes. In the middle is a dark and thin man in his thirties. The people on both sides are much taller and more powerful, but they have a look of flattery on their faces. What they said just now,
It was the person on the left who spoke cautiously.
"Huh, as immortal cultivators, we have to work hard to cultivate, how can we be so content with pleasure." The dark and thin man said disapprovingly, but despite his righteous and awe-inspiring face, his eyes were constantly darting, not only aiming at
When the surrounding restaurants looked at the women around them, they were also extremely dishonest.
"That's it, that's it. Uncle Fang has a profound knowledge. It's just that you have just arrived at Horny Python Mountain. As juniors, how can we not fulfill our friendship as landlords?"
The monk on the right also hurriedly said that the identity of this monk surnamed Fang is not trivial. Not only is he in the foundation building stage, but he is also related by blood to the new elder from Li Yao Palace. Although they are separated by countless generations, after all,
He is his descendant in the secular world, and he is very favored. Even the masters at the Dan Condensation stage are very polite to him. Low-level disciples like them naturally have to find ways to curry favor with him.
It is a coincidence that although the monk surnamed Fang has a very high level of cultivation, he is flashy, boring, greedy and lustful. However, these two disciples in the spiritual stage were both playboys from rich families before they entered the immortal path, so they joined him.
