The old man looked at Cheng Yu's back with some confusion. It had to be said that Cheng Yu's barbecue was delicious, but he couldn't admit it. He didn't feel at ease when he saw the boy.
Not long after, Cheng Yu ran out of the woods. This time, he was dragging a goat behind him. When he walked to the river, his hands glowed with a faint white light, and then he began to touch the goat back and forth. The old man not far away was holding a grilled fish and looked puzzled.
Cheng Yu wanted to roast a whole lamb this time. After softening the body with zhenqi, he used zhenqi as a knife to peel off the skin. Take out the internal organs, rub the seasoning on the inside and outside of the whole lamb, then skewer it on a branch rack and start roasting it over a fire.
"Did this kid just have a fight and become hungry again?" The old man thought as he watched Cheng Yu flipping the sheep on the grill and brushing the seasonings.
For more than an hour, the aroma of roasted whole lamb wafted out to unknown distances. Although the old man had eaten a lot, he still couldn't help but sit down opposite Cheng Yu. , staring closely at the sheep on the grill.
"Want to eat?" Cheng Yu said with a smile, looking at the old man who was looking at the roasted lamb motionlessly. "It's a pity, this is mine."
"Do you think you can stop me if I want to?" the old man said disapprovingly.
"Old man, you are also a senior after all. You always grab something from a junior. Don't you think this method is shameful?"
"No." The old man was very He said casually, not taking what Cheng Yu said seriously at all.
"Haha, old man, I know you are very powerful, but if I really want to put it away, you won't be able to grab it. And if you eat it this time, you may not be able to eat it next time. In fact, if you want to eat it, It doesn’t have to be a robbery, how about we do a business?” Cheng Yu said with a smile.
"What business?" the old man asked curiously.
"You will be my bodyguard for three months, and I will provide you with delicious food and wine for three months." Cheng Yu took out a wine bottle and said.
"Haha, boy, you have a good idea. It turns out that you have done so many tricks just to let me protect you. But you really dare to think about asking me to be his bodyguard. You are definitely the first!" After hearing Cheng Yu's words, the old man laughed and said, as if he had heard a big joke. "You underestimate me, old man. You want me to protect you for three months."
"Old man, you can't say that. First of all, I don't know how awesome you are. Identity, but we just take what we need. What's more, with your cultivation, it's just a matter of effort to protect me, a kid in the foundation building stage, and you can scare away the enemy without even taking a shot. .
Looking at your outfit and slovenly appearance, I don’t know how long it’s been since I had such delicious food, otherwise you wouldn’t have grabbed my barbecue. But you have to follow me. Isn't it better to be served good wine and meat every day than to work hard all day long?" Seeing the old man's contempt for him, Cheng Yu also saidHe didn't care, but watched him talk.
Before, Cheng Yu wanted to use the old man to test the gap between himself and the golden elixir stage, but then he thought about it, if he could make this old man his bodyguard, then he would not be able to do anything in the cultivation world during these few months. It's very safe. At least there is no need to worry about Kunlun sending masters again.
The most important thing is that his current cultivation level has not improved, which makes Cheng Yu very worried. If he can have such a master as his training partner every day, Cheng Yu believes that his strength will be even better. Going up a level, maybe it's not impossible to advance to the golden elixir.
Thinking of so many benefits, Cheng Yu became more determined to recruit the old man as his bodyguard.
"Oh, you would say, old man, although I am delicious, but if you want to use these to impress me, you are wrong." The old man was not moved by Cheng Yu's words at all.
As a monk, what matters is to let nature take its course. They may have needs for food, clothing, housing and transportation, but this need is not essential.
Just like the reason why the old man grabbed Cheng Yu’s barbecue, if he hadn’t met Cheng Yu, the old man would have lived the same life. But since Cheng Yu has delicious food, he can just grab it if he has the ability, so why bother all day long? Thinking about how to eat and drink?
So, their idea is so simple and direct.
"Well, I don't like forcing others the most." Cheng Yu didn't say much, waved his hand, put all the freshly roasted mutton into the storage ring, then stood up and left. .
"Hey! You kid, can't you be more generous in front of your seniors? As the saying goes, business cannot be done without justice. I've been roasting meat with you for a long time, so you should share some with me, old man!" Look! The old man was dumbfounded when Cheng Yu acted so decisively and directly.
"Sorry, I only talk about benevolence and righteousness to my own people." Cheng Yu kept walking forward without looking back.
"This kid doesn't take soft and hard advice." The old man was depressed. He originally thought that Cheng Yu would try his best to make him his bodyguard, but he didn't expect Cheng Yu to be so straightforward. He just refused him. gave up.
He is so insincere! After all, he is a well-known figure in the world of cultivation. If he cheated him out of a few barbecues, then he is too worthless.
What’s even more disgusting is that this kid doesn’t seem to take himself seriously. The look in his eyes that didn't care at all made him feel for the first time that he was really worthless?
Of course Cheng Yu will not give up so easily. Do you think you can find such a high-level thug if you want to? If you beg him, you are at a disadvantage and too passive.
However, Cheng Yu was not sure about this trick of playing hard to get, but when he saw the other party following him, Cheng Yu smiled, ignored him, took out his flying sword and flew towards Tianhai City.
Originally, Cheng Yu planned to go to Maple Leaf City first, but he felt that Maple Leaf City was no longer safe at this time, and it could even be said that the entire Kunlun area made Cheng Yu feel insecure, so after thinking again, Cheng Yu Yu still decidesIt is important to leave Kunlun's sphere of influence as soon as possible.
If nothing else, once Kunlun is outside Kunlun’s sphere of influence, at least Kunlun’s informants will be much less. It would be better if I didn't have to be stared at all the time.
Cheng Yu passed quickly in three days. For the past three days, the old man has been following Cheng Yu not far away. Naturally, the reason why the old man keeps following Cheng Yu is not just because Cheng Yu can make delicious food.
The most important reason is that the old man is very interested in Cheng Yu, or in Cheng Yu's phantom fist. Every time Cheng Yu stopped to get something to eat, the old man would appear.
"Old man, isn't this good? You don't want to be my bodyguard, but you have to eat my food every day. Aren't you ashamed of your old face?" Cheng Yu didn't want to go too far. , after all, the other party’s cultivation level is too high. If he provokes the other party too much, he will be in trouble. Anyway, he has been following him now, and he can barely be regarded as half a bodyguard.
"Hmph, don't think I don't know anything. In the past three days, you have had to fight with me every time you eat. Don't you want to get some benefits? You pretend to be so angry every time. "Actually, you are just asking me to spar with you, you are too cunning." The old man took off the pheasant from the grill and looked at Cheng Yu with great disdain.
But from the bottom of his heart, the old man still admired Cheng Yu. There are really not many foundation-building monks who dare to use the golden elixir master as a sparring partner. Of course, he must have suppressed his realm, and he did not launch a too strong attack. Even so, Cheng Yu was severely tortured.
"Haha, old man, we are just each other. Don't think of me as a fool. The reason why you see my purpose and are willing to spar with me, and even force me to use my special moves, isn't it? Do you want to understand it?" Cheng Yu said with a smile.
The past three days of sparring with the old man really made Cheng Yu feel a lot. After all, Cheng Yu always practiced alone in seclusion before. All his combat experience came from his previous life, and he didn’t have much knowledge about his own practice. help.
But now that I fight against the old man every day, I can better integrate what I have learned. Try to save your life when encountering a golden elixir master.
Cheng Yu no longer has the Spiritual Source Fruit in his body, and his only hope of meeting a master lies in his own strength. Therefore, Cheng Yu had to find a way to improve himself and at the same time better understand the golden elixir master.
"Boy, who is your master?" In the past few days, the old man has been studying and understanding Cheng Yu's Phantom Fist, but he has no clue yet. He is very curious about Cheng Yu's origin.
"It's better not to say it, I'm afraid I'll scare you to death if I say it." Cheng Yu said proudly as he drank wine and gnawed on the pheasant.
"Really? Then tell me who can scare me." The old man said curiously.
"Don't tell." Cheng Yu originally wanted to use Wuji Palace to fool him, but after thinking about it, he decided not to tell.
This is not secular, and this old man has such a high level of cultivation. Although he looks sloppy, he is actually very smart. It's like he's been studying his fantasyShadow Fist, so Cheng Yu didn't use it often, and even if he did, he would use it very casually. As for other moves, Cheng Yu wouldn't be able to use them even if he was beaten to death.
If I say that I am a disciple of the elder of Wuji Palace, what if this old guy knows the seniors of Wuji Palace? So it’s better not to say anything.
"What? Are you afraid of being embarrassed?" the old man said.
"Don't use provoking methods to provoke me. It's useless to me. And you won't believe me if I say it, so it's better not to say it." Cheng Yu ignored the other party.
Although the old man wanted to know Cheng Yu's identity, Cheng Yu didn't say anything, and there was no need for him to ask any more.
The next day, the two finally arrived at Tianhai City. Tianhai City is still within the scope of Kunlun Mountain, but this city is obviously larger than Ningshui, at least as big as three Ningshui cities.
This is already a real world of cultivation, and there are many more monks in the city. Not only the monks in Kunlun, but also many monks wear the Taoist uniforms of their own sects, with high and low cultivation levels. However, this place is not deep in the world of cultivation. Most of them are disciples in the foundation building stage and Qi refining stage.
Cheng Yu first found Qiongyu Tower in the city. If we talk about what is the best thing to look for in the city, then it can undoubtedly be Qiongyu Tower, because it is the highest attic in the city and it is so obvious in the city.
"What do the two immortal masters need?" Seeing Cheng Yu and the two standing at the door, the waiter inside asked politely.
