Luoyang City, East District.
The east side of the entire Luoyang City is undoubtedly the busiest place, with a large number of mobile monks gathered here. As long as you have spiritual stones here, you can get everything you want, except of course some fairy weapons and rare elixirs. .
The other areas of Luoyang City are more or less occupied by various forces. Only the East District can be seen everywhere doing business. The monks are just like ordinary people. They have to think hard and earn spiritual stones in order to practice. , for their own cultivation, so ordinary monks are not like ordinary people thinking, but they have their own troubles.
In the East District, there are brothels, restaurants, and some shady bartering places. Different from other ordinary cities, the women in the brothels here are all female monks. As long as you have money, I heard that even Female monks in the spiritual elixir realm can be found. As for female monks in the Nascent Soul realm, I have never heard of them. They can only appear in private practice caves at most.
At this moment, Zhao Jiuge, Pei Susu and three other people, after wandering for an hour or two, finally arrived at the entrance of a certain restaurant in the East District. This place was relatively close to the auction held by the Daqin Chamber of Commerce the day after tomorrow, only a few blocks away.
Although this place is crowded with people and traffic, it is also the most chaotic area in Luoyang City. Various forces and forces, as well as a large number of casual cultivators, or some hidden evil cultivators are stationed here. Dare to be too exposed and presumptuous.
This place can be said to be some gold-selling caves where you can play and sing every night, or it can be a happy forest where you can enjoy a little bit. In short, as long as you have money here, you can get everything you want, including women, exercises, and souls. Beast, treasure.
Not only the Great Qin Chamber of Commerce, the Blood Night Chamber of Commerce and the Tianyuan Chamber of Commerce also have branches near this restaurant. However, since this is the territory of the Qin family, it is deliberately suppressed by the Qin family, so the business of the other two companies is naturally deserted. There is still assassin business to do in the Blood Night Chamber of Commerce, so it is not that bad. As for the Tianyuan Chamber of Commerce, it can be regarded as a deserted business.
Looking at the three large golden characters written on the plaque above the restaurant in front of him, Zhao Jiuge couldn't help but smile.
Zuixianju.
A restaurant is so elegantly opened. Most of the population of Luoyang City are monks, so all the places and facilities are centered around these monks, including this restaurant. It is just different from the restaurants in other small local cities. Yes, this Zuixianju is specifically aimed at monks. The food and drink inside are only some spiritual food or spiritual wine. Even a guest room will be equipped with some spiritual gathering arrays for the guest monks who live there.
You must know that even a simple spirit gathering array requires a large amount of spiritual stones. Moreover, it also requires array diagrams and hiring people to arrange them. With the spirit gathering array, the room you live in will naturally have aura. It is much richer than outside, and the speed at which spiritual power is absorbed through practice is naturally greatly increased.
Of course, being able to spread the reputation of the restaurant in a top city like Luoyang City shows that this Zuixianju does have its own uniqueness. Of course, a meal or a night's stay is not cheap.
"Let's go. After traveling for so long, we can finally have a good rest. Let's eat first. After that, we'll stay here and wait for the auction to start the day after tomorrow. We'll talk about other things tomorrow."
After a few hours of wandering around Luoyang City, Pei Susu brought Zhao Jiuge and Sanwu to this renovated restaurant with ease.
"I have been to Luoyang City twice. This Zuixianju is very famous, especially the spiritual wine inside."
After Pei Susu finished speaking, she took the lead and entered this exquisite and elegant restaurant.
Most of the entire restaurant is painted in red and brown colors. The outside of the restaurant is vermilion red, while the wooden screens, escalators and tables inside are all brown and black.
San Wu immediately cheered when he heard that there was something to eat, and quickly followed Pei Susu into Zui Xianju, leaving a somewhat helpless Zhao Jiuge standing at the door with a bitter smile. He was so anxious about the whereabouts of the Hanyan Flower that he could only do this. Shaking his head, he followed the two of them in. He knew that it was useless to rush such things, but caring about them would lead to chaos. After all, Han Yanhua was too important to Zhao Jiuge.
The three of them were seated. Immediately, a restaurant waiter wearing a gray and white cloth robe with a sharp face came forward. The waiter glanced at Zhao Jiuge and others and saw that they were very impressive. He immediately understood that the three of them were not ordinary people. , so he immediately smiled charmingly and bent down a little lower.
"Three guests, do you need anything? Food and accommodation? Our Zuixianju is famous."
"First, get two bottles of Huo Shao Qing. You can take a look at the other food items. Take the most expensive one. Finally, prepare two guest rooms with an elegant and quiet environment."
Pei Susu did not take the menu given by the waiter in the restaurant, but spoke directly. After speaking, she threw two spiritual stones to the waiter Quan as a tip.
Seeing the two spirit stone tips that Pei Susu casually gave, the waiter in the restaurant suddenly smiled and even his attitude became a lot more respectful. The waiter in the restaurant was also a monk, just an ordinary casual cultivator. Cultivation in the spirit transformation realm is forced to do these thankless things in order to earn dozens of spirit stones every month for cultivation.
Soon two bottles of fire-roasted green tea filled with blue and white porcelain and cups carved from ordinary warm jade were brought up. Naturally, some spiritual fruits and some dishes were also brought up. Those dishes were made by some spiritual beasts and were delicious. At the same time, it can also enhance a little spiritual energy.
The gap between people lies in this. Some people are born with nothing and have to struggle for everything on their own. Some people are born with rich status and have a golden key in their mouths. Things that others cannot strive for in their lives are for them. It's within reach.
Zhao Jiuge sometimes thinks that sometimes everything in this world is fair, and sometimes everything is unfair. How many ordinary people like him, like ants, can really make it to the end and look down upon the common people? Even if any of them didn't do it by chance.
Seeing the delicious food on the table, Sanwu couldn't wait to devour it. For him, only eating can arouse the passion in his heart.
"The Huo Shao Qing here is famous, and you can't drink it in other places. Among some of the best spiritual wines, apart from being drunk and dreaming of death, I think the best is the Huo Shao Qing, not for anything else, just because it is strong. This bottle is worth the Bailing Stone."
Pei Susu looked at Zhao Jiuge with a chuckle and said, at the same time, with a pair of jade hands, he pushed a bottle of Huo Shaoqing in front of Zhao Jiuge.
Hearing Pei Susu's words, Zhao Jiuge couldn't help but secretly smacked his tongue. Such a small bottle of wine actually costs hundreds of spirit stones. You must know that those casual cultivators do not hesitate to work in such places for the sake of resources for cultivation. After a month of busy work, the number of drinks is only a few dozen. For spiritual stones, in a place like Zuixianju, a casual meal would cost thousands of spiritual stones. This would require those casual cultivators to practice for more than a year, so there is still a gap between people.
God is unfair, but it also gives everyone a glimmer of hope. Only by working hard can you change your destiny.
"Then I have to taste how strong the fire is. I don't believe it is stronger than you."
Zhao Jiuge raised his brows and said with some disapproval. In the Xuantian Sword Gate, Zhao Jiuge naturally drank some spiritual wine brewed from spiritual fruits, and he had a good drinking capacity on weekdays. After hearing what Pei Susu said, he directly picked up the blue and white porcelain and made it. The finished wine flask does not use a jade cup, just tilt your neck and pour it into your mouth.
"Gulu."
After a few slight crunching sounds, half the pot was poured into Zhao Jiuge's mouth. At first, Zhao Jiuge didn't feel anything. He only felt a fragrant fragrance in his mouth and nose, which was endless aftertaste. But the next moment, Zhao Jiuge's eyes widened. I just felt like there was a fire burning inside my chest, and even my skin felt faintly hot.
Pei Susu, who was sitting on the side, suddenly laughed with some gloating. She suddenly ignored her ladylike image and smiled heartlessly. This fire was full of stamina. It didn't happen at first, but it often burst out like a raging fire later. This is why the name Huo Shao Qing comes from it. Without the use of one's own spiritual power, it would be difficult for most people to resist the alcoholic effect on their own. It's no surprise that Zhao Jiuge drank half a pot of wine in one go, and it didn't feel uncomfortable.
"How about it? Is it me, Lie, or this burning Qing Lie, who dares to despise my fierce personality?"
Pei Susu on the side looked slightly proud, raised her white and tender chin, and said proudly to Zhao Jiuge, looking at his embarrassed appearance.
It took Zhao Jiuge a long time to regain his composure, and he rolled his eyes at Pei Susu angrily. However, Sanwu who was standing by had nothing to eat or drink, and could not care less about gloating about Zhao Jiuge's misfortune.
The few people had been traveling in the wilderness, jungle and mountains for so long. It was a rare opportunity to sit in this restaurant and eat and drink. Soon, the food that came up was almost swept away by the wind and the remaining clouds.
The entire Zuixianju has a total of six floors. The lower three floors are places for eating and drinking, and the upper three floors are guest rooms. When Zhao Jiuge and the others came, it was already overcrowded. Not only were there no private rooms, there were no seats in the ordinary lobby. Yes, that is to say, I was lucky. As soon as I came up, someone happened to leave on the second floor and I sat down.
There are advantages and disadvantages in the hall. The disadvantage is that it is not very quiet. The advantage is that you can indirectly hear some mixed gossip.
When Zhao Jiuge was almost done eating, Zhao Jiuge heard the words of four or five big men at the table around him, and quietly paid attention to them.
The four or five big men didn't tell much from the clothes on their bodies. They should be locals from Luoyang City. Their cultivation levels were not very good. They were only at the Foundation Establishment level. However, it could be seen that their families were relatively well-to-do. Otherwise, they would not be able to Come to a place like Zuixianju to eat and drink.
"Do you know what happened at the city gate today?"
A fat middle-aged man, wearing a blue shirt, lowered his body slightly and leaned forward towards the table while he was eating. He said with a pretended mystery on his fat face.
"Damn it, just say it if you have anything to say. Every time something comes up, I like to whet my appetite." Another burly man next to him couldn't help cursing.
"Isn't it just that the demon king from the Yang family in Luoyang City had a conflict with two people from outside? Then the incident became quite big. Unfortunately, no one was killed. In the end, Qin Qing came forward to calm the matter down."
"I see, this matter will never be over. The Yang family's demon king is not afraid of anything."
"It's hard to say. Qin Qing let the news go out at that time. He just doesn't know who those two people are, but he must have extraordinary origins to dare to conflict with Young Master Yang of Luoyang City."
"No matter what his identity is, I think he is probably here to participate in the auction held by the Daqin Chamber of Commerce the day after tomorrow. I didn't see the crowds of people in Luoyang City during this period. They are basically here for this auction."
"Why? It happens once a year. Even though it was lively in the past, there were not so many people like it is now."
The fat man heard the doubts on other people's faces and looked at him with puzzled eyes. He immediately showed that he enjoyed this kind of questioning and paused deliberately. When he saw that several people around him finally became impatient, he stopped. Xu said, "Because the Qin family has said that this auction will undoubtedly be the most exciting one, because the finale of the show will not be announced on time, the news of an immortal artifact."
