…
The capital of the country belongs to Longcheng.
As the capital of the Dagan Kingdom, Guilong City has a history of more than 7,000 years, and it is well-deserved as the number one city in the Dagan Kingdom. Its huge scale and majestic momentum have reached the point of astonishment.
And around this Guilong city, there are thirty-six acropolises surrounding it, which together guard this ancient city.
According to legend, back then, the founding emperor Ziwei Xuandu and the Lord of the Holy Land, Lingyun Zhenjun, came on the cloud, and it was here that they met a demon emperor who was entrenched in the spiritual veins, and they jointly killed him.
After that, Emperor Ziwei Xuandu flattened the mountains and rivers here, connected the land veins, and built this world-famous city.
According to rumors, deep in the ground of Guilong City, there is an ancient and unparalleled large formation, which can protect the Dagan Kingdom from generation to generation, and its blessings will last forever, but it is not known whether it is true or not.
Of course, no matter whether the rumor is true or not, its prosperity will not be damaged.
In Guilong City, there are countless merchants who come and go every day, and these merchants are at least from sixth-rank families, and those who are lower than sixth-rank are not even qualified to buy shops in Guilong City.
Walking on the road, even from time to time, you can meet the carriages of the royal family and noble relatives. Those aristocratic families that are rarely seen in the local area seem to be seen everywhere here. Even a random pedestrian on the road may be a collateral branch of a third-rank family, or a strong man in the realm of heaven and man.
It's really "no business in vain".
To the east of Guilong City, there is a luxurious restaurant named Baiyunlou.
Baiyun Tower was originally famous in Guilong City for its "excellent taste", "excellent sound" and "excellent dancing". It was deeply loved by children of aristocratic families, wealthy merchants, and young dignitaries.
And a big eater competition that was inadvertently held decades ago made Baiyun Tower's reputation once again turbulent, leaving a legend about a certain foodie, and also brought enduring enthusiasm.
Baiyun Building also seized the opportunity to publicize that it will hold a big stomach king competition every three years to attract popularity.
Now decades have passed.
The business of Baiyun Building is booming, the scale of the Big Eater Competition is getting bigger and bigger, and the prizes are getting higher and higher every time.
Under the lure of fame and fortune, not only the young people returning to Longcheng participated enthusiastically, but even the young people in the thirty-six Acropolis surrounded by stars and moons would flock to Baiyun Tower when the time came. Join this feast.
And this kind of influence is still spreading. Even in Xihai County, Qing'an County and other places, there are some well-informed young people who don't hesitate to travel thousands of miles to participate in the competition.
In the Baiyun Building, the Big Eater Competition has already started.
On the cloud platform in the center of the first floor, long tables were lined up neatly. The tables were already filled with roasted beast meat, and the rich aroma wafted throughout the Baiyun Tower.
The contestants who participated in the Big Eater Competition were already sitting behind the long table, eating hazelnuts to their heart's content. There is also a waiter who is responsible for counting and supervising.
Under the cloud platform, there is also a place to bet on the outcome, and it is also very lively at the moment.
In the private seats scattered like stars in the building, the diners who came to watch the excitement had already occupied their seats, and they were watching the excitement of the game at the moment.
The top floor of Baiyun Building.
Different from the well-arranged seats in the middle, the seats on the top floor are very close to each other, and some are even connected together. You only need to turn off the sound insulation, and you can chat freely.
Below the top floor, there is also an empty sky garden, which is planted with spiritual flowers and spirit butterflies. The environment is extremely elegant without affecting the vision. The design can be said to be extremely ingenious.
At this moment, there are already many guests sitting in the private seats on the top floor, chatting with each other happily.
At this time, a figure suddenly appeared in the hanging garden and walked up slowly along the steps.
It was an imposing middle-aged man. He was wearing a dark purple three-clawed dragon robe and a dragon scale crown that was only allowed to be worn by the royal family. He walked calmly and had an extraordinary bearing.
Fluorite lamps carved into the shape of cranes spreading their wings stood on both sides of the steps, and a hazy halo shrouded his face, outlining his already three-dimensional facial features more clearly.
This person is the owner of the Baiyun Tower - the nobleman of the dynasty, the King of Hengjun.
"Master Heng, good morning."
"His Royal Highness looks good today~"
"Your Highness certainly looks good. In just a few decades, the turnover of Baiyun Building has increased several times. It can be regarded as a big profit~"
"This year's Big Stomach King Competition has reached the highest level ever. After this time, it will be even more difficult to have a restaurant in the capital that can be compared with Baiyun Tower. King Heng, you want to treat~"
Those who can dine in the attic on the top floor are all famous figures in Guilong City. They are a small group of dignitaries who like to join in the fun, they are quite familiar with King Heng, and it doesn't hurt to joke with each other.
King Heng was also smiling, nodding his head to greet each other, and would stop to chat with people of similar status.
Finally, he sat down in his exclusive private seat.
This location is private and has a wide field of vision. With the spiritual sense and eyesight of a cultivator in the Purple Mansion, he can easily observe the game scene.
Soon, a waiter from Baiyun Building brought melons and fruit dishes, as well as some spiritual food and wine specially prepared for Prince Heng.
The director of Baiyun Tower also quickly got the news and rushed over, stood aside respectfully, and poured wine and vegetables for Prince Heng himself.
King Heng was in a good mood, and his gestures and gestures were full of pride. It's no wonder that no matter who makes a fortune, they won't be in a bad mood.
"Who is most likely to win this year?" King Heng asked slowly, tasting the mellow spiritual wine.
"Return to Your Highness." The director bent down and replied, "There are several seeded contestants who are evenly matched in this year's Big Stomach King Competition, including Fang Yaowu, a well-known talent from the Cangxiongwei Fang family. This kid has excellent aptitude and has cultivated since childhood In the army, the basaltic kung fu practiced in the military is Cang Xiong Shaking Mountain Jue, which is as strong as a bear and has an amazing appetite."
The thirty-six guards of Guilong City are all named after various ancient gods and beasts. They are stationed and guarded by various military and military families. They are responsible for guarding Guilong City. They are actually the first line of defense in the capital.
"I've heard about that kid Fang Yaowu, who has also become famous in the army recently, and has the reputation of being one of the top ten young talents in the army." King Heng praised him, but at the same time regretted, "It's a pity that he was born in the army. Serving allegiance to His Majesty, it is a taboo for our royal family to make friends with him."
"There is also a young Zifu species from the Shangguan family of the fourth-rank family in our Guilong City—Shangguan Yunhong. This son was born with a bloodline of the devouring class, and he has refined Shangguan's own combat body technique, the Dragon Elephant Wuji Jue. , and now the Dragon Elephant has achieved some success in combat, and is known as one of Guilong City's "Top Ten Outstanding Youths Under the Age of 100"."
The butler began to introduce another one.
"The Shangguan family has been full of talents in recent years." King Heng smiled and praised, "The top ten outstanding young people in Guilong City have always been able to maintain a position. The last Shangguan Yunque was even more talented. The posture of Tianjiao ranks third, and the Shangguan family is expected to be the third rank in the future."
"The future of the Shangguan family is indeed promising." The steward said with a smile, "Multiple forces have begun to woo the Shangguan family. Say hello frequently."
"Wu Chengsi?" King Heng glanced at the corner of his mouth, and sneered disdainfully, "That kid is not doing his job properly, but he is a good hand at wooing people around."
Among the royal family, many members are very supportive of King Kang.
But there are also such a group of people who are quite prejudiced against King Kang. King Heng was one of them, and even expressed his dissatisfaction with King Kang several times in public.
"Your Highness..." the butler persuaded with sweat on his forehead, "that one is quite powerful now, and he is very likely to become the future emperor. In private..."
"I'm still afraid of him being a mere junior?" King Heng snorted, "No matter what, I, Wu Hanheng, are his elders of the same clan. If you say that he has not yet become a great emperor, he has become one. As an elder, I can't say that about him. gone?"
Because of their noble backgrounds and strong backs, most royal families usually have a more straightforward personality. They like what they like, and they don't flatter those who don't like it.
"Your Highness is right."
The housekeeper wiped the sweat from his forehead with a bitter face, but he didn't dare to argue with the county king.
"By the way, I remember that there is a little girl named 'Shangguan Bilian' in Shangguan's family. She also has a straightforward temper. When she was young, she made troubles in my Baiyun Tower. She is quite an interesting little girl." Prince Heng from Shangguan's family , Thinking of Shangguan Bilian, "Should you be married? Which family did you marry into?"
"Returning to Your Highness, this old servant remembers this matter. This happened seventy or eighty years ago. There was a lot of trouble in the capital, as well as at Shangguan's house." When the butler talked about gossip, his tone became excited. Get up, "At that time, how many families in the capital wanted to marry Miss Shangguan. The ancestor of Shangguan doted on her, so she let her choose. In the end, that lady chose a sixth-rank villager who had just fallen from the ancestors of the Zifu. Family…”
"Have a personality." King Heng smiled and praised, "No wonder her temper left a big impression on me at the beginning. But in this way, the face of the Shangguan family will be completely lost."
"Isn't that right?" The housekeeper also laughed, "It's a pity that the old ancestor Shangguan's words are hard to follow, and after private discussions, he couldn't hold her back and had to let her marry. Several sons of aristocratic families in our capital have also become laughing stocks. It can't compete with a small country family. This matter has been raging for more than ten years before it has calmed down."
"Interesting, interesting. Let her come to see me when she returns to Beijing to visit relatives." King Heng is also a freewheeling personality. Before the housekeeper could answer, he sighed again, "It's that girl Lici who I haven't seen for many years. Yes, I heard that I went to Xianchao to eat and drink with that old boy in Yunyang. If I want to see her again, I don’t know that it will be the year of the monkey.”
King Heng lived long enough to meet many people of all kinds in his life, but only Wang Lici left the deepest impression on him.
Too!
During the five years when she ate and drank for free in Baiyun Tower, she almost broke the Baiyun Tower. Can you not be impressed
The same is true, even though he likes the cute girl with the round face very much, he has to issue an expulsion order for the old boy Yunyang. But not long after, he regretted it. Because of the Big Stomach King Competition, the business of Baiyunlou was rising steadily.
Although it is not enough to fully support Lici girl, but he can barely cope with urging the old thief of Yunyang to work harder and go out to fight in the jungle.
Alas~
Now that poor girl doesn't know where she was wronged in Xianchao, and she doesn't know if she can have enough to eat
Thinking of this, Prince Heng felt a little uncomfortable.
Regret~~~ If it weren't for the fact that Yunyang couldn't be contacted, I really wanted to take her back and take care of her, even if she was a granddaughter or something. As for the share of the old thief in Yunyang, let him work part-time to earn it himself.
"His Royal Highness, Miss Li Ci is born with good fortune." The housekeeper comforted him, "She is a blessed child, no matter where she goes, she will never lack for food. What's more, Master Yunyang's cultivation of Miss Li Ci is very important. For the battle between the emperor and the son after the battle between the emperor and the son is over. At that time, she will definitely come back."
"Okay, okay, this king will take good care of the business of Baiyun Tower, earn more money, and save more delicious food ingredients, just waiting for that girl to come back to eat." King Heng seemed to have motivation all of a sudden, and his whole body was full of energy. His face glowed.
"Come, come, let me see if Shangguan Yunhong won the first place this time, or Fang Yaowu had the last laugh."
At this time, the Big Eater Competition was coming to an end.
King Heng also withdrew his miscellaneous emotions and focused on the climax of the game.
"Huh? Something seems wrong." King Heng frowned, "There are still three people left on the field. The big man on the left, who looks as strong as a bear, stretches his muscles, obviously it should be Fang Yaowu, the military genius. On the right That one, with a thick and strong physique, looks like a giant standing elephant, most likely it is Shangguan Yunhong who practiced the Dragon Elephant Body Tempering Art and also has the blood of devouring blood."
With King Heng's eyesight, even if he had never seen them before, he could instantly distinguish the two of them by virtue of their body shape, breath and other details.
Some special horizontal exercises, practiced to the depths, will cause various abnormalities in the body.
As for the Xuanwu monks at the Tianjiao level, it is easier to train out of shape. Therefore, it is necessary to get married and have children as soon as possible, otherwise it will be more difficult to marry later.
However, this is not the case for a lifetime.
In most cases, the top-grade horizontal training combat body skills will be considered great when they reach the Purple Mansion Realm. At that time, there will be a change of returning to the basics, and the appearance will not appear too exaggerated compared to ordinary Xuanwu monks. Only when fighting, Only then will the combat form appear.
Undoubtedly, the final winners of the previous big appetite competitions were mostly basaltic monks with great appetites. The rest of the basaltic monks practiced to the end, although their appetites are also great, they are hard to compare with the combat class.
But what did Duke Heng see
Between those two big men, stood a woman who looked quite "petite" compared to them. She was wearing a set of fairy-like women's sword-sleeved robes, with a slender and slim figure.
Although she was wearing a veil and couldn't see her true face clearly, she could still feel the extraordinary fairy temperament in her body.
Especially those eyes, it seems that there are stars shining in them.
Every time she lifts the veil and eats the competition food in an elegant posture, the jade face that only reveals the tip of the iceberg has already amazed the onlookers and the failed contestants.
"Fairy, come on, fairy, come on! Defeat Fang Yaowu and Shangguan Tianhong."
The cheers one after another became louder and louder, as if they were going to collapse the Baiyun Building.
She doesn't eat fast, and her movements are very elegant, but her speed is not slow at all.
A large piece of roasted spirit meat weighing more than ten kilograms was casually picked up by her, and with a slight squeeze by Xuan Jin, it was abruptly compressed to the size of a palm, and it was eaten in two or three bites.
It's not like the two thick and strong men next to them, holding a large piece of roasted spirit meat and directly biting and eating.
"Girl, if you eat like this, you are simply reckless." Fang Yaowu said in a low voice, "I haven't tasted the exquisite cooking skills of the chef of Baiyunlou at all."
Spiritual meat supplements human qi and blood far more than ordinary meat.
As the level of the big stomach king competition is getting higher and higher, the popularity is getting stronger and stronger, and the ingredients used are getting more and more high-end. When it came to the final stage, Baiyun Tower actually took out the extremely rare and rare fifth-order spirit beef to entertain all seeded contestants.
It's just that although this meat is good, it is very easy to fill the stomach. It is difficult for ordinary people to digest the huge blood in it after eating a small bite. Even a cultivator in the Heavenly Human Realm, if he eats too much, he has to spend time practicing meditation and digest the blood quickly, otherwise his blood vessels will rupture and bleed profusely.
The woman ignored him at all, and just silently ate pieces of barbecued meat of fifth-grade spirit cattle. Her flat and introverted lower abdomen didn't seem to show any signs of swelling.
On the contrary, Fang Yaowu and Shangguan Yunhong, who had extremely sturdy physiques, gradually began to gush out beads of sweat from their foreheads, and their faces turned red.
Apparently, the fifth-order spirit beef that they have now replenished has gradually reached their limit.
"Here, is this Li Ci back?" King Heng stood up excitedly, but after looking at it carefully, he fell back to his chair in disappointment, "It's not Li Ci, it's not Li Ci who eats, she doesn't look like her." She is so elegant~"
"Eh? That girl's primordial water profound energy is so pure and thick? It's as if the real primordial water is circulating in her body."
After all, Prince Heng is a late-stage cultivator in the Zifu Realm who is of the same generation as Master Yunyang. His eyes are so vicious that he can see something strange about her at a glance.
He could even vaguely feel that there was a whirlpool of primordial water in her stomach, spinning like a galaxy, crushing, absorbing, and transforming all the food she ate into pure qi and blood.
None of these qi and blood was wasted, but was quickly absorbed into her body by her in an extremely fast way, and carried to all parts of the body with the Yuanshui Xuanqi, bit by bit. strengthening itself.
That's right, while she was eating here, she had already entered the state of cultivation and began to digest the qi and blood brought by those foods.
"Such strong Yuanshui profound energy, so fast absorption speed."
As a member of the royal family, King Heng is not only powerful, but also has extraordinary knowledge, but now she has completely attracted his attention, and he can't help but feel a lot of emotion.
However, after a few breaths, he saw something strange again: "Huh? The characteristic of her profound energy is clearly derived from one of the cultivation methods of the nine meridians of the Holy Land—Tianyi Zhenshui Collection. The method she used , could it be a small supernatural power—Tian Shui transforms all things.”
"This woman is only in the mid-stage of the Heaven-Human Realm, but she has been allowed to practice the Holy Land Inheritance Collection. Could it be that she is actually the Great Talent of the Holy Land? No, no. One of the nine veins of the Holy Land, Tianyi Zhenshui, is one of the current younger generations. There is no descendant of the great arrogance."
Da Tianjiao has always been rare.
Even in the Nine Veins of the Holy Land, not every generation is able to find a suitable successor at the right time. From time to time, there will be a generational gap in a certain vein.
Of course, as long as the Holy Land is still there, even if a lineage is temporarily broken, it can always be continued.
But no matter which line, as long as there is a suitable successor of the Great Tianjiao, he must be a famous person in the world, and it is absolutely impossible for him to appear out of nowhere like this.
At the same time when King Heng was having doubts, Fang Yaowu, a celestial arrogance from Junwu, finally couldn't hold it anymore, and fell to the ground foaming at the mouth, his whole body was surging with energy and blood, looking very bad .
Every time the Big Eater competes, there will be a similar situation, and if you can't eat, you have to hold on.
Seeing this, the waiter of Baiyun Tower immediately commanded the guards to carry him down and poured him an emetic.
"After all, Fang Yaowu is worse than Shangguan Yunhong, who has the blood of the devourer."
Many of his supporters regretted it.
Now let's see who can win, that mysterious woman with an awe-inspiring temperament, or Shangguan Yunhong.
After another half stick of incense, Shangguan Yunhong picked up the last piece of barbecue and put it to his mouth. However, he almost spit it out as soon as he opened his mouth, and finally gave up completely, ran to the ring and vomited a lot.
After a while, he recovered his strength, ran back to the arena and pointed at the mysterious woman angrily and yelled: "I, Shangguan Yunhong, have a devouring bloodline, and I have refined my combat body, how could I lose?! You must have cheated!" I'm not convinced, I want to take a look at your veil and see which witch is making trouble here!"
After saying that, Shangguan Yunhong's momentum surged, and he rushed towards the mysterious woman with rumbling steps, and quickly stretched out his giant claws like a palm fan, grabbing her veil.
Under the light, it can be clearly seen that his entire arm has become thicker and stronger in an instant, and the muscles on it are knotted, as if there is a huge force brewing in it.
Even the fingertips that pierced through the air gave out bursts of screaming.
It can be seen that although this claw is only used casually, its power should not be underestimated.
"Girl be careful."
"Fairy run away."
The supporters of the mysterious fairy under the cloud platform were very nervous, and they all raised their voices to remind, and at the same time scolded angrily: "Shangguan Yunhong, you are too despicable to admit you lost."
Unexpectedly, before Shangguan Yunhong's paw touched her veil.
The mysterious woman dodged the claw lightly, and at the same time kicked Shangguan Yunhong's stomach like lightning.
Then there was a "bang", and Shangguan Yunhong's body, which was as thick as an ancient war elephant, flew upside down out of the ring and hit the ground hard, as if it had been swung hard by a hammer.
Just as everyone was stunned.
The mysterious fairy raised her jade hand lightly, and a huge scroll rose into the air, hung firmly on the roof of Baiyun Building, and then unfolded from top to bottom with a "crash".
A huge vertical banner immediately appeared in front of everyone.
There is a row of characters written on it like dragons and phoenixes: "Longzuo Academy, Wang Liyao, the true biography of Tianhe, is sixty-nine years old, and today he is setting up a competition here. Those who come can come to fight, and those who come will not be rejected!"
This banner comes out.
The scene was suddenly silent.
The supervisor next to King Heng froze, with cold sweat on his forehead: "Oh my god~~ This, this is a test run by the great genius... How many years has there been such a big scene in the capital?"
…
