He rubbed his painful head, sat up with a grin on his face, and looked at his surroundings.
It was a simple adobe house with mottled walls and a lot of dirt falling from the corners. Apart from a bed, a worn-out table, and two stools, there was nothing else in the room.
It can be said that the family has four walls.
There is a kettle on the table and four ceramic cups upside down.
Tan Sheng frowned.
My head felt swollen and swollen, which was very uncomfortable.
Drinking feels good for a while, but it doesn't feel good when you sober up.
Tan Sheng got off the ground, rubbed his temples, walked to the table, sat down on the stool, picked up a cup and looked at it, it was still clean, then picked up the kettle and felt it, there was water, it was mostly a pot.
Tan Sheng poured a glass of water, drank it all in one gulp, and poured another glass, still feeling stuffy.
After drinking two glasses of water, Tan Sheng felt a little better.
At this time, Tan Sheng began to think about how he came to this strange place.
"I seemed to have drunk a lot last night and staggered out of the city..."
"later……"
"Meet a swordsman and drink together?"
"You won't know anymore after that."
"Oh, I got drunk and got into trouble... No, I don't have anything serious to do, haha..."
Tan Sheng smiled to himself.
At this time, the door creaked open.
"Brother, you wake up!"
The swordsman who had been drinking with Tan Sheng the night before yesterday came in and said with a smile.
In his hands, he held a bag of cooked food, a jug of wine, and several sesame seed cakes.
The fragrance wafts away.
Tan Sheng's stomach growled twice, but luckily the sound was very low, otherwise Tan Sheng would really not be able to embarrass this person.
"Excuse me, who is your Excellency?"
Tan Sheng cast a questioning look at the swordsman.
"Oh, I haven't introduced myself yet. My name is Li Xiaoyao, and I am a casual swordsman."
The swordsman introduced him, walked in, put the food and drink on the table, pulled out a stool and sat down, saying: "This is my home. You were drunk and unconscious last night, so I brought you back. You are now
how do you feel?"
"Well, I'm fine." Tan Sheng hugged Li Xiaoyao, and then said: "Tan Sheng, thank you for the hospitality, Brother Li."
Although Tan Sheng and Li Xiaoyao met by chance, for some reason, he felt inexplicably close to Li Xiaoyao and instinctively trusted this swordsman.
"Why are you so polite?" Li Xiaoyao smiled while unpacking his bag: "Come on, I went out to buy some food. You and I hit it off right away, why don't we have a few more drinks?"
"Well, it's nothing, I have a headache, so I won't drink anymore." Tan Sheng waved his hands repeatedly.
"Haha, okay, then I'll make you a pot of tea."
"Don't bother, I'll just drink water..."
Tan Sheng was a little embarrassed.
But Li Xiaoyao had already gone out with the kettle in hand.
After a while, Li Xiaoyao returned to the room, replaced the cold water in the kettle with hot tea, and came back with two pairs of chopsticks.
Li Xiaoyao poured two cups of tea, then spread out the cooked food, a portion of soy pork head cut into slices, and a portion of cold salad. Although it was simple, it greatly increased appetite.
Then Li Xiaoyao put out the sesame cakes again, made a "please" gesture to Tan Sheng, and said: "Brother Tan, you're welcome, come and eat."
After saying that, Li Xiaoyao picked up a sesame cake, opened a slit from the edge, then used chopsticks to pick up the sauced pork head and stuffed it in. It was filled to the brim in no time.
Li Xiaoyao bared his teeth at Tan Sheng and said, "Brother Tan, it's delicious if you eat like me."
Seeing this, Tan Sheng smiled, no longer polite, picked up a sesame seed cake, followed Li Xiaoyao's example, and filled it with soy pork head meat.
When you take a bite, you will see the golden and crispy sesame seed cake wrapped in the fragrant sauced pork head, which is indeed delicious.
The two of them filled their mouths with sesame seed cakes and pork head meat, and smiled at each other.
"Brother Li, you...haven't you heard my name?"
Tan Sheng took a sip of tea, wiped his mouth, looked at Li Xiaoyao and asked.
Li Xiaoyao blinked his eyes blankly and said, "No. Oh, I'm not a local. I only came here because I have to take the Wuji Sect entrance exam in one month."
At this point, Li Xiaoyao's eyes dimmed, he sighed, and said: "It's a pity that I'm at the peak of foundation building now, and I'll be thirty years old in a month. If I can't successfully complete the golden elixir, I'm afraid I won't be able to participate in the assessment."
nothing."
Hearing this, Tan Sheng was stunned.
Li Xiaoyao's situation is so similar to his!
They are all about to turn thirty, they are both at the peak of foundation building, and there is no hope for golden elixir.
"Haha, Brother Li, we really have sympathy for each other."
Tan Sheng smiled bitterly, shook his head and said.
"Brother Tan, you too?" Li Xiaoyao looked at Tan Sheng in surprise.
Tan Sheng nodded and said in a bitter voice: "Yes, I will be thirty years old soon, but I still can't see the hope of forming the golden elixir. If I can't enter the Wuji Sect this time, I must go back to inherit the family business and cook
Chamber of Commerce. Then I will only be a rich man for the rest of my life and will not be able to go further in my cultivation journey!"
The corners of Li Xiaoyao's mouth twitched twice.
Tan Sheng's words are very similar to JJ who said, "If you don't work hard to sing, you will go back and inherit hundreds of millions of wealth."
"Boom!"
Li Xiaoyao clenched his fist and slammed the table, startling Tan Sheng.
"Brother Tan, are you just going to accept your fate?" Li Xiaoyao stared into Tan Sheng's eyes and asked.
"What if I don't accept my fate? I can't form a golden elixir in a month." Tan Sheng shook his head.
"..."
Li Xiaoyao was startled, and then a hint of helplessness appeared on his face, and he said: "Yes, there is only one month left... Hey, it's a pity that I searched everywhere and couldn't find the Nine Sun Flower. Otherwise, it will take one month to make money.
Dan, it’s totally possible!”
After speaking, Li Xiaoyao lowered his head.
But Tan Sheng's eyes suddenly lit up and he said anxiously: "Nine Sun Flower!? Brother Li, you mean, with the Nine Sun Flower, you can form a golden elixir within a month? This, how is this possible!"
Li Xiaoyao raised his head and said: "I once got a book in a cave that recorded the alchemy techniques of the sages in ancient times. It recorded a method of refining an elixir called Nine Turns Golden Pill. It should be taken at the peak of foundation building.
, there is a high probability that I can form a golden elixir and enter the golden elixir stage in one fell swoop. Over the years, I have almost collected all the raw materials for refining the nine-turn golden elixir, but I have never found the most critical raw material, the Nine Sun Flower.
If you find it, you will miss the mark, you will miss the mark."
His expression was extremely unwilling.
Tan Sheng's eyes lit up and he said loudly: "I have Nine Sun Flowers!"
"Whoosh!"
Li Xiaoyao suddenly looked at Tan Sheng and said very quickly: "Brother Tan, this joke is not allowed!"
Tan Sheng said seriously: "I'm not joking. I am the second young master of the Tan family, one of the three major families in Wuyuan City. Our family has a collection of Nine Sun Flowers!"
"really!?"
"really!"
"Great! Great!" Li Xiaoyao was overjoyed and said: "Brother Tan, how about this? You can help me find two beads of Nine Sun Flowers. I have collected all the other raw materials myself. In this way, I will
You can refine two nine-turn golden elixirs. You and I can each take one, enter the golden elixir stage together, and then take the Wuji Sect assessment!"
"good!"
Tan Sheng stood up without any hesitation and responded loudly.
At this moment, Tan Sheng is like a drowning man. If there is a life-saving straw, he will definitely hold it tightly without hesitation.
"Ha ha……"
Both of them laughed.
Then, Tan Sheng said: "Brother Li, I'm going home to get the Nine Sun Flowers now. If you have nothing to do, you can go with me."
Li Xiaoyao thought for a moment and then agreed.
The two of them left the room together.
Tan Sheng's face was full of excitement, but he didn't notice that Li Xiaoyao, who was walking with him, slightly raised the corners of his mouth, revealing a faint smile.
