It was the first time that Wutan had seen such a harsh environment and simple facilities in a huge city. No wonder Fengmo compared the Ninth City and the Eighth City to garbage dumps.
Therefore, Wu Tian estimated that the environment of the eighth city might not be much different from that of the ninth city.
But one thing is undeniable, this place is very lively, with cars and pedestrians busy on the streets, and all kinds of sounds intertwined together to form a mighty wave of sound, echoing between heaven and earth.
"Oh my god! People can live in a place like this?" Cang Zheng's face was full of disgust and he wanted to turn around and leave immediately.
Wu Tian looked at him strangely for a while, then shook his head and said, "For a cultivator, the ground is his bed and the sky is his blanket. It is enough to have a safe place to live. Why bother about these things?"
Then, he looked at Shishi and said with a smile: "There is no time to lose. Go to the Eighth City to find Sun Lei to get the recommendation letter. But remember, you can't force it. As soon as he refuses, give up immediately and I will think of a new way."
After thinking for a while, Wu Tian took the little fellow, the Insect King, and the Bird Saint out of his arms and warned: "You go with Shi Shi and protect her safety. If anything unexpected happens, I will only hold you responsible."
"Don't worry! With Master Frog here, the little girl won't lose even a hair." The little guy patted his chest and promised, then he and the Insect King and the Bird Saint crawled into Shishi's arms and took a nap.
"Brother, I'll go then." Shishi smiled, her grace and beauty were extremely stunning.
"Go! Be careful about everything." Wutan nodded.
"I see."
After watching Shishi leave, Wu Tian withdrew his gaze, and his mind swept over the sky. After a while, he said calmly, "Let's go! Let's find a restaurant to fill our stomachs first. To be honest, I really miss the smell of food."
After saying that, he walked into the depths of the street without caring whether Cang Zheng followed him or not.
"To the restaurant?"
Cang Zheng was stunned, his anger suddenly rising. Li Shishi went deep into the tiger's den just to get you a letter of recommendation, but you didn't know how to help her, but instead went to a restaurant to have fun. What a shameless bastard!
"No, why should I be in such a hurry? It's none of my business. It's really inexplicable." After figuring this out, Cang Zheng's anger instantly subsided. He followed Wutan leisurely, looking here and there, feeling very comfortable.
"Greetings to Master Li Feng..."
"Greetings to Master Yan Kuan..."
Almost everyone in the entire Ninth City knew the current appearance of Wutan and the other person, so when they saw them walking past, they all greeted them respectfully.
"Lord Li, Lord Yan, it's been a hundred years since we last met. Is everything going well?" When Wutan and the other man walked into a pretty good restaurant, a fat, chubby middle-aged man quickly came up to them and said in a fawning and obsequious manner.
This restaurant has two floors in total and is the only building built with stone bricks in the area. Located in this place, it has a king's style. However, compared with the City Lord's Mansion, it is not even a little bit inferior. If compared with the restaurants in Shura City and other cities, it is even more insignificant.
"Lead the way, the old place."
Looking at the fat boss in front of him, Wutan just gave a faint instruction and said nothing more.
From Zhuang Luochen's memory, it was learned that the three were frequent customers here and were indeed very familiar with the owner of this restaurant, whose name was He Zhi, and was known as Fatty He in the Ninth City. However, given the personalities of the three, it was naturally impossible for them to take this person too seriously. They often came here just to eat and drink for free.
It was precisely because of these that Wu Tiancai came to this restaurant.
"Yes, yes. I have already calculated that the two adults' terms will expire in the next few days, so I have sent people to clean up Fengya Pavilion thoroughly and prepare the best wine and food, waiting for the two adults to enjoy. Please come in, two adults!"
After He Zhi finished speaking, he stepped aside and made a gesture of invitation, then turned around and led the way to the second floor, flatteringly saying, "Ever since the two adults went to guard the altar, I have been looking forward to it day and night. Now that I finally see the two adults again, I feel relieved."
"By the way, why didn't Lord Zhuang come with the two adults?" He Zhi asked without turning his head, seemingly asking casually.
"Just ask less about things you shouldn't ask." Wutan said lightly.
"Yes, yes, Lord Li is right. Please come in, both lords!"
After a while, under the guidance of He Zhi, the two walked into an independent private room. The decoration was simple, but very clean. After a casual glance, Wutan estimated that this kind of private room might be considered the most high-end one in the Ninth City.
On the dining table, which was as big as a man's, there were all kinds of dishes and hot smoke rising from it. Wutan was not polite at all. He sat down on a chair beside him, picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of unknown meat and put it in his mouth. He chewed it carefully and immediately nodded with satisfaction.
"He Zhi, you are so thoughtful, so go out first! No one is allowed to come in and disturb us without my order."
"You two adults have been guarding the altar for a hundred years, and you must be tired. So enjoy yourselves. Just let me know if you need anything." He Zhi bowed and smiled flatteringly, then turned and walked out of the room, closing the door tightly.
Glancing at Cang Zheng who looked strange, Wu Tian smiled faintly, grabbed the wine pot on the table, and drank directly from the pot without using a cup, praising repeatedly, "Good wine! Good wine!"
"asshole!"
Cang Zheng glared at him fiercely, but saw that the other party ignored him at all. He withdrew his gaze in boredom and looked at the table full of delicious dishes. His appetite was suddenly aroused. He picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of meat and put it into his mouth.
"Oh! If you don't want to live, just eat it." However, at this moment, Wutan suddenly sighed, and his tone was very flat afterwards.
"What do you mean?" Cang Zheng's arms stiffened and he asked in confusion.
Wu Tian raised his head and took a sip of strong liquor, saying lightly: "It's meaningless. You can try to eat some and see if you will die later."
Cang Zheng flew into a rage, slammed his palm on the table, and said angrily: "Just explain yourself clearly to me, don't be so mystical!"
"Alas!" Wu Tian shook his head and sighed, "No wonder your mother asked me to help her train you. With your insight and careless character, if I wasn't here, you would have died long ago."
"Can you please get straight to the point!"
Cang Zheng gritted his teeth and spoke word by word with fire in his eyes. What he hated most was Wutan's attitude that everything was under control. In front of such a person, he felt like a hopeless fool, and this feeling made him very uncomfortable.
"well!"
Wutan sighed again, looking extremely disappointed and as if he was a hopeless case. Then he waved his hand and the piece of meat that Cang Zheng was about to put into his mouth flew into the air. Then the power of fire gushed out and wrapped the piece of meat.
Cang Zheng frowned slightly, not knowing why, but his emotions stabilized a little. He sat back in his chair and watched quietly.
However, as time passed, a hint of doubt gradually appeared on Cang Zheng's face. Finally, the doubt disappeared, and was replaced by horror, but more of anger.
"Poisonous!" Cang Zheng slapped the table, stood up again suddenly, murderous intent bursting from his eyes, and his anger was enough to burn the sky!
Under the burning power of fire, the piece of meat had disappeared without a trace, but a drop of water appeared, which was as crystal clear as a clear stream. After Wutan dissipated the power of fire, a fragrance wafted out.
If it were an ordinary person, he would definitely think that this was a drop of spiritual liquid made from spiritual medicine, but as the young master of Wanbao Pavilion, he was knowledgeable and experienced. Just by smelling the fragrance, he knew that this was a drop of poison that could kill a strong man in the Divine Transformation Stage on the spot!
Sure enough, with a light flick of Wutan's finger, the water droplets fell on the opposite wall with a whoosh. Thick black smoke suddenly rose from this place, making a hissing sound. In a flash, a stone hole as big as a human head appeared in the sight of the two men.
"Asshole, you dare to poison and plot against us. I won't give up until I tear down this restaurant today!" Cang Zheng was furious. He smashed the chair behind him with a palm, moved his feet, and was about to rush out.
"Stop!" Wutan shouted.
Cang Zheng frowned and sneered, "Why? Could it be that Wu Tian, the heaven-defying master who terrorizes the five continents, would also be afraid sometimes?"
"I'm not afraid." Wutan shook his head, picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of poisonous meat, put it into his mouth unscrupulously, and began to chew.
"It tastes good." Wu Tian nodded with seemingly great satisfaction, and then, under Cang Zheng's horrified and angry gaze, he raised his head and drank a sip of strong liquor. Only then did he say lightly: "It's useless for you to go find He Zhi. He is just a small person who is forced into a corner."
"You dare to eat it?!" Cang Zheng's eyes widened in disbelief. No, this bastard seemed to have eaten a piece at the beginning, so how come he is still alive and well now
"Aren't you afraid of poison?" Cang Zheng asked tentatively.
"Afraid! There is no one in the world who is not afraid of poison. However, this poison can deal with you, but it is far from enough to deal with me." Wutan said calmly.
Hearing this, Cang Zheng turned around and walked to the dining table. He looked Wu Tian up and down for a moment and couldn't help asking, "What kind of monster are you? Why do I feel like you're not human?"
"Haha!" Wutan smiled, said nothing, and continued drinking.
Cang Zheng pursed his lips, frowned, and asked, "Is the wine you drank also poisonous?"
"Yes, but because of the addition of this poison, the taste of this wine has become very different. It feels particularly refreshing. How about it, do you want to have a sip?"
"Forget it. If you want to die, don't implicate me." Cang Zheng shook his head, fearful. After hesitating for a while, he couldn't help but humbly asked, "When did you realize that these wine and food were poisonous?"
