Chapter 166 Qingfeng Group
Chapter 166 Qingfeng Group
Ninth Brother, we've strolled around enough, where are we going to go next?
Upon hearing Xiao Tu's question, Zhu Chongjiu saw a restaurant not far ahead and replied, "It's about to rain here, let's go to that restaurant ahead and get something to eat."
Firstly, I wanted to escape the rain; secondly, I've been in the immortal realm for hundreds of years and haven't yet tasted what immortals eat, so this is a good opportunity to try it.
Xiao Hei knows me well; the only thing I can't let down is good food.
After the group arrived at the restaurant, the waiter saw that Zhu Chongjiu and his entourage were dressed, looked, and exuded an air of nobility, so he warmly welcomed them into one of the only two private rooms.
After inquiring about Zhu Chongjiu and his group's purpose, the staff informed them of the restaurant's signature dishes and specialties, and also thoughtfully quoted prices.
After hearing the waiter list more than twenty dishes, Zhu Chongjiu picked out a few that clearly didn't look appetizing. The waiter immediately said enthusiastically, "Alright, esteemed guest, please go and tell the kitchen to prepare them."
Zhu Chongjiu was taken aback after the waiter finished speaking.
What preparations are needed? The dishes I just mentioned are unnecessary. Bring out the rest of the dishes.
Upon hearing this, the waiter was startled, just like Zhu Chongjiu had been. However, due to his years of experience dealing with people, the waiter reacted quickly, apologized, and went down to inform the boss that a large order had arrived, asking the kitchen to pay attention and serve the dishes as soon as possible so as not to displease the distinguished guest.
Ten minutes later, dishes made from common spiritual plants and low-level spiritual beasts were served to the table one by one by the waiters.
Zhu Chongjiu took a small bite. Although these dishes were nothing extraordinary, they were fresh and delicious, and could be considered to have excellent color, aroma and taste.
Amidst the laughter and chatter, the rain outside the restaurant gradually subsided. Just as the rain was about to stop, Xiao Jin asked, "Ninth Brother, we've eaten and drunk our fill, where do we go next?"
Zhu Chongjiu looked at the rain outside the window as it slowly subsided and replied, "We are currently only at the edge of the Qingfeng World. Once the rain has completely stopped, we will head towards the center of this world."
Let's go and see what this so-called fairy palace is like.
Also, as we delve deeper into this world, in the days to come, try not to use your spiritual sense to probe others. Use your eyes to see what you can, and your ears to hear what you can hear. Understand?
After everyone answered Zhu Chongjiu's questions, they chatted about various things. Seeing that the rain outside had completely stopped, Zhu Chongjiu called the waiter to settle the bill.
Zhu Chongjiu gave out 60 of the 58 low-grade immortal crystals, and the remaining two immortal crystals were given to the service staff as a tip.
Before leaving the restaurant, Zhu Chongjiu gave each child a portion of low-grade and mid-grade immortal crystals, allowing them to choose some items as pocket money.
However, neither Xiao Hei nor Xiong Da wanted it.
Xiao Hei explained that he only needed food and didn't need anything else. As for food, he was sure he wouldn't lack it as long as he followed Ninth Brother.
Xiong Da explained that he didn't want anything useless, and if he needed cultivation resources, he would talk to Ninth Brother.
From then on, the group made their way toward the center of the Qingfeng World, stopping and starting along the way. Most of the houses and pavilions they saw were made of brick and stone. There were hardly any magnificent courtyards with jewels or jewels, and even some exquisite wooden buildings were scarce.
Since the group did not use any magical powers and traveled using only their physical bodies, three months later, in a desolate desert area, they discovered a group of chicken-like monsters about the size of domestic geese.
Xiao Jin said to Zhu Chongjiu, "Brother Jiu, we've been walking in this desert for half a month, we're so bored. Let me go catch those dozen or so chickens, we can roast them and eat them later to relieve the boredom and satisfy our cravings."
After sensing the desert stretching for tens of thousands of miles, which was completely devoid of human habitation, Zhu Chongjiu nodded and said, "We've all been cooped up for so many days, let's all go."
"It just so happens that this group of demonic beasts are all at least Heavenly Official level, and the leader looks like it's about to advance to Heavenly General level. That should keep you entertained for a while."
Before Zhu Chongjiu could finish speaking, the little ones eagerly charged towards the group of demonic beasts in the distance, howling as they went.
Even Xiao Hei, who had been sleeping soundly on Zhu Chongjiu's shoulder, rushed out at this moment.
Zhu Chongjiu hurriedly shouted to Xiao Hei from behind, "You can't use the Cloud Travel Divine Power to move!"
After the little ones chased and intercepted the group of monsters for more than ten minutes, they only managed to catch five of them, relying solely on their physical strength, without using any magic. There were still eight left to catch.
And in the end, Xiao Mu was burned black all over by the flames spewed by the leading chicken-like monster, which caused everyone to burst into laughter.
Seeing Xiao Mu in such a sorry state, and being ridiculed by everyone, the most honest Xiao Huo angrily shouted at the group of monsters, "If you dare to burn my little brother Xiao Mu, I'll burn you all too!"
Let's see whose fire is hotter!
After saying that, Xiao Huo unleashed his innate divine power, instantly turning the area within a radius of ten thousand miles into a golden-red sea of fire.
Upon witnessing this scene from afar, Zhu Chongjiu's heart skipped a beat, and he instantly released his divine sense.
The moment Zhu Chongjiu released his divine sense, a feeling of being watched arose in his heart.
Not only Zhu Chongjiu himself felt this strangeness, but even the little ones, Xiao Hei, and Xiong Da felt like they were being watched.
It was at this moment that Little Fire also stopped using his supernatural powers.
A moment later, the feeling of being watched vanished without a trace.
Everyone looked at Zhu Chongjiu, who looked at Xiao Huo, who was hanging his head as if he had done something wrong, and laughed loudly, "Xiao Huo, what are you doing?"
You've cooked the chicken perfectly.
Why don't you put it away right away?
In a moment, Ninth Brother will sprinkle on some of his own seasonings, and he'll give each of you a big, fragrant tumble.
Hey you guys, hurry up and help Little Turkey put the chicken away.
And didn't you see the leader isn't quite dead yet? Hurry up and finish it off!
Upon seeing this, everyone followed Zhu Chongjiu's instructions to gather the group of demonic beasts together. After they were gutted, seasonings were sprinkled on them, and Xiao Huo used his innate supernatural power to test them again.
However, this time, Xiao Huo's supernatural power was only released to the size of a fist.
After roasting one after another, when it came to the fifth one, Little Fire said, "Ninth Brother, you also know fire control, and because of your dantian, your fire control is not much worse than mine, so why are you making me here to start a fire for you?"
While circling the monster on the fire and sprinkling seasonings, Zhu Chongjiu tapped the little fire on the head and chuckled, "You guys are just waiting to enjoy the good life while your older brother does everything?"
Half an hour later, the five little ones, along with Zhu Chongjiu, Xiao Hei, and Xiong Da, had tested a total of eight chicken demon beasts.
Here, one for each of you. Try Ninth Brother's cooking and see if it's any worse than when we were in the Azure God Realm.
Just as Zhu Chongjiu was testing the chicks, in the center of the Qingfeng World, inside a huge celestial palace floating in mid-air and emitting a faint clear light, a middle-aged man wearing a robe covered with cloud patterns was speaking to a wisp of wind floating in front of him: "You mean, you sensed the aura of the elemental spirits?"
The gentle breeze swayed slightly, and the middle-aged man opposite him immediately understood its meaning. He then asked the breeze in surprise, "Where is it? What's going on?"
