Chapter 13 Li Yao Enters Beijing! Strong Wind Blows

…

The capital of the country returns to Longcheng.

As the capital of the Daqian Kingdom, Guilong City has a history of more than 7,000 years. It is the well-deserved first city of Daqian. Its huge scale and majestic momentum have reached a level that is breathtaking.

And around Guilong City, there are thirty-six acropolis surrounding it, together guarding this ancient majestic city.

It is said that back then, the founding emperor Ziwei Xuandu and the Lord of the Holy Land, Zhenjun Lingyun, came on the clouds. It was here that they met a demon emperor entrenched in the spiritual veins, and they joined forces to kill him.

After that, Emperor Ziwei Xuandu built this world-famous city here by leveling the mountains and rivers and connecting the ground.

It is said that deep under the ground of Guilong City, there is an ancient and unprecedented formation that can protect the Daqian Kingdom for thousands of generations and bring endless blessings, but it is not known whether it is true or not.

Of course, whether the rumors are true or not, it does not undermine its prosperity.

In Guilong City, there are countless merchants who come and go every day, and these merchants are at least from sixth-grade families. If they are lower than sixth-grade, they are not even qualified to buy shops in Guilong City.

Walking on the road, you can often encounter the carriages of royal relatives and nobles. Those high-profile families that are rare to see in the local area seem to be everywhere here. Even a random pedestrian on the road might be a descendant of a third-grade family or a powerful person in the heavenly realm.

It is truly "nothing comes and goes".

To the east of Guilong City, there is a large and luxurious restaurant named [Baiyun Tower].

Baiyun Tower was originally famous for its "excellent taste", "excellent sound" and "excellent dance" in Guilong City. It was deeply loved by children of aristocratic families, wealthy businessmen and young dignitaries.

And an unintentional "Big Eater" competition held decades ago made Baiyun Tower famous again, leaving a legend about a certain foodie and bringing long-lasting popularity.

Baiyunlou also seized the opportunity to promote the [Big Eater] competition every three years to attract popularity.

Now decades have passed.

Baiyunlou's business is becoming more and more prosperous, the scale of the Big Eater Competition is getting bigger and bigger, and the prizes are getting higher and higher every time.

Under the temptation of both fame and fortune, not only the young people who returned to Dragon City actively participated, but also the young people in the thirty-six acropolises around them, like stars looming over the moon, would also flock to Baiyun Tower when the time came. Attend this feast.

And this influence continues to spread. Even in Xihai County, Qing'an County and other places, there are some well-informed young people who travel thousands of miles to compete.

In Baiyun Tower, the Big Eater Competition has already begun.

On the cloud platform in the center of the first floor, long tables were neatly arranged. The tables were already filled with roasted beast meat, and the rich fragrance spread throughout the Baiyun Building.

The contestants participating in the Big Eater Competition have also sat behind the long table and are eating and devouring their food. There is also a waiter who is responsible for counting and supervising.

Under the cloud platform, there is also a place to place bets on the outcome, and it is also very lively at this moment.

In the dining rooms arranged like stars in the building, the diners who came to watch the excitement had already taken their seats and were watching the lively game at the moment.

The top floor of Baiyun Building.

Different from the scattered seats in the middle, the seats on the top floor are very close together, and some are even connected together. You only need to turn off the sound insulation ban to chat freely.

Below the top floor, there is a sky garden in the sky, which is planted with spiritual flowers and butterflies. The environment is extremely elegant without affecting the view. The design can be said to be extremely clever.

At this time, many guests were already sitting in the elegant seats on the top floor, chatting happily with each other.

At this time, a figure suddenly appeared in the sky garden and walked up slowly along the steps.

He was a middle-aged man with an imposing appearance. He was wearing a dark purple three-clawed dragon robe, with a dragon scale crown on his head that only the royal family was allowed to wear. He walked calmly and had an extraordinary bearing.

Fluorescent stone lanterns carved into the shape of a crane spreading its wings stood on both sides of the steps. A hazy halo shrouded his face, making his already three-dimensional facial features more vivid.

This person is the owner of Baiyun Tower - the nobleman of the current dynasty, Prince Heng.

"Prince Heng, morning."

"His Royal Highness looks good today~"

"Of course Your Highness looks good. In just a few decades, Baiyun Tower's turnover has increased several times. It can be considered a huge profit~"

"The popularity of this Big Eater Competition has reached its highest point in history. After this event, it will be even harder for any restaurant in the capital to compare with Baiyun Tower. Prince Heng, you are in for a treat~"

Those who can dine in the attic on the top floor are all prominent figures in Guilong City. They are a small group of powerful people who like to join in the fun. They are quite familiar with Prince Heng, so there is no harm in joking with each other.

Prince Heng also smiled, nodded and greeted each other, and would stop to chat with people of similar status.

Finally, he sat down in his own private seat.

This location is private and has a wide view. With the spiritual thoughts and eyesight of a monk in the Purple Mansion Realm, one can easily observe the competition scene.

Soon, a waiter from Baiyun Tower brought melons and fruits, bowls and dishes, as well as some spiritual food and wine specially prepared for Prince Heng.

The supervisor of Baiyun Tower also quickly got the news and rushed over. He stood respectfully aside and personally poured wine and served dishes for Prince Heng.

Prince Heng was in a good mood, and his every move was filled with the feeling of spring breeze. It's no wonder that no matter who gets rich, they will always be in a bad mood.

"Who has the best chance of winning this term?" Prince Heng asked slowly while tasting the fragrant spirit wine.

"Back to Your Highness." The supervisor bent down and replied, "There are several equally-matched seed contestants in this Big Stomach King Competition, including Fang Yaowu, the famous proud son from the Cangxiong Wei Fang Clan. This son has excellent qualifications and has been growing up since he was a child. He practices the Xuanwu Kung Fu [Cang Bear Shakes the Mountain] in the military, and he is as strong as a bear and has an astonishing appetite."

The thirty-six guards of Guilong City are all named after various ancient mythical beasts. They are stationed and guarded by various military families. They are responsible for guarding Guilong City. They are actually the first line of defense of the capital.

"I've heard about that boy Fang Yaowu. He has become famous in the military recently. He is known as one of the top ten young geniuses in the military." Prince Heng was full of praise, but at the same time he regretted, "It's a pity that he is from the military. He should be directly To be loyal to His Majesty, it is a taboo for us and other royal relatives to associate with him."

"There is also a young Zifu from the Shangguan family of our fourth-grade family in Guilong City—Shangguan Yunhong. This child was born with the devouring bloodline and refined Shangguan's own combat skills [Dragon Elephant]. Wuji Jue], now the Dragon Elephant Combat Body has achieved a small degree of success, and is known as one of Guilong City's 'Top Ten Outstanding Young People under 100 years old'."

The butler began to introduce another one.

"The Shangguan family has been full of talents in recent years." Prince Heng smiled and praised, "The top ten outstanding young people in Guilong City have always maintained their position. The previous Shangguan Yunque was even more outstanding. Ranked third in Tianjiao's appearance, Shangguan's future is expected to be in the third rank."

"The future of the Shangguan family is indeed promising." The housekeeper said with a smile, "Many forces have begun to compete with the Shangguan family. It is said that even Prince Kang, who is favored by everyone among the quasi-emperors, has sent people to attack the Shangguan family. Show your kindness frequently."

"Wu Chengsi?" Prince Heng glanced at him and sneered disdainfully, "That boy is not doing his job properly, but he is really good at winning over people."

Many members of the royal family are very supportive of Prince Kang.

But there is also a group of people who are quite prejudiced against Prince Kang. Prince Heng was one of them, and he even expressed his dissatisfaction with Prince Kang in public on several occasions.

"Your Highness..." The butler persuaded with sweat on his forehead, "That one is quite popular now and is very likely to become the future emperor. In private..."

"Am I still afraid of a mere junior like him?" Prince Heng sneered, "No matter what, I, Wu Hanheng, am his elder of the same clan. It is said that he has not become the emperor yet, but he has become one. As an elder, I can't say anything about him. Already?"

Most of the royal family are from noble families and have strong backbones. Their personalities are usually more straightforward. They like those they like, and they won't flatter those they don't like.

"Your Highness is right."

The housekeeper wiped the sweat from his forehead with a grimace and did not dare to argue with the prince.

"By the way, I remember that there was a little girl named 'Shangguan Bilian' in the Shangguan family. She also had a straightforward temper. When she was young, she made trouble in my Baiyun House. She was a very interesting girl." Prince Hengjun came from the Shangguan family. , thinking of Shangguan Bilian, "You must be married, right? Which family did you marry into?"

"Back to Your Highness, this old servant remembers this matter. This happened seventy or eighty years ago. At that time, there was a lot of commotion in the capital and the Shangguan family." When the butler talked about the gossip, his tone became excited. Get up, "At that time, many families in the capital wanted to marry Miss Shangguan. Because the Shangguan ancestor doted on her, she left it up to her to choose. As a result, the lady actually chose a sixth-grade rural man who had just fallen from the ancestor of the Zi Mansion. Aristocratic family…”

"She has personality." Prince Heng smiled and admired her. "No wonder her temperament left a big impression on me at first. But this way, the Shangguan family's face will be completely lost."

"That's not true." The housekeeper also smiled and said, "It's a pity that Shangguan Patriarch was so stubborn that he couldn't keep up with her words. After private discussions, he couldn't win over her and had to let her get married. Several young men from aristocratic families in our capital have also become the butt of jokes. It can't compete with a small rural family. This matter has been noisy for more than ten years before it finally calmed down."

"Interesting, interesting. When she comes back to Beijing to visit her relatives, I will ask her to come and meet me." Prince Heng also had a freewheeling personality. He didn't wait for the butler to answer, but he sighed again and again, "It's just that girl Li Ci I haven't seen for many years. Yes, I heard that I went to Xianchao with that old boy from Yunyang to eat and drink. I don’t know if I want to see her again until the Year of the Monkey and the Horse."

Prince Heng had lived long enough to see many different kinds of people in his life, but Wang Lizi was the only one who made the deepest impression on him.

Too!

During those five years when she was eating and drinking freely in Baiyun Tower, she almost destroyed Baiyun Tower. How could she not be impressed?

Likewise, although he liked the cute girl with a round face very much, he had no choice but to issue an expulsion order against the old boy Yunyang. But not long after, he regretted it. Because of the Big Eater Competition, Baiyun Tower's business increased steadily.

Although it is not possible to fully support the Li Ci girl, if you urge the old thief Yunyang to work harder and go out to fight in the jungle, you can barely cope with it.

Alas~

Now that poor girl doesn't know where she is wronged in the Immortal Dynasty, and she doesn't know if she can have enough to eat.

Thinking of these, Prince Heng felt a little uncomfortable.

Regretful~~~If I had not been able to contact Yunyang, I would have really wanted to take her back and raise her well, even as a goddaughter or something. As for the Yunyang old thief's share, let him earn it by working part-time.

"Your Highness, Miss Li Ci is born with blessings." The butler comforted her, "She is a blessed child. No matter where she goes, she will never lack food. What's more, Master Yunyang trained Miss Li Ci. For the battle for the Holy Son after the battle between the Emperor and the Son ends. At that time, she will definitely come back."

"Okay, okay, I will run the business of Baiyun Tower well, make more money, save more exquisite food ingredients, and wait for that girl to come back and have a feast." Prince Heng seemed to be motivated all of a sudden, and his whole body became full of energy. The face became radiant.

"Come on, let me see whether it is Shangguan Yunhong who takes first place this time, or Fang Yaowu who has the last laugh."

At this time, the Big Eater Competition is coming to an end.

Prince Heng also put back his mixed emotions and focused on the climax of the game.

"Huh? Something seems to be wrong." Prince Heng frowned, "There are still three people left on the field. The big guy on the left, as strong as a bear, flexed his muscles with a sound. He should obviously be the military genius Fang Yaowu. On the right That one, with a thick and strong physique, like a standing giant elephant, is probably Shangguan Yunhong who practices the Dragon Elephant Body Tempering Technique and has the devouring bloodline."

With Prince Heng's eyesight, even if he had never seen them before, he could instantly tell them apart based on their shape, breath and other details.

Some special horizontal exercises will cause various strange phenomena in the body when practiced to a deep level.

As for the genius-level Xuanwu monks, it is easier for them to lose their human form. Therefore, you should get married and have children as early as possible, otherwise it will be harder to get married later.

However, this is not the case forever.

In most cases, high-grade Henglian combat skills will be considered complete when they reach the Purple Mansion realm. At that time, there will be a change of returning to nature. Compared with ordinary Xuanwu monks, their appearance will not be too exaggerated. Only when fighting, Only then will the combat form appear.

There is no doubt that in previous Big Eater competitions, the final winners were usually Xuanwu monks with huge appetites. The rest of the Xuanwu monks who have reached the later stages of their training have huge appetites, but they are unable to compete with those of the combat type.

But what did King Heng see?

In the middle of the two big men, stood a woman who looked quite "petite and exquisite" compared to them. She was wearing a fairy-like and fluttering women's sword-sleeved robe, with a slender and graceful figure.

Although her face is covered with a veil and her true appearance cannot be seen clearly, she can still feel her outstanding fairy temperament.

Especially those eyes, it seemed like there were stars twinkling in them.

Every time she lifted her veil and ate the competition delicacies with an elegant posture, her beautiful face only revealed the tip of the iceberg, but it already amazed the onlookers and the failed contestants.

"Come on, fairy, come on, fairy! Defeat Fang Yaowu and Shangguan Tianhong."

The cheers came one after another, becoming more and more loud and passionate, as if they were going to collapse the Baiyun Tower.

She didn't eat quickly, and her movements were very graceful, but her speed was not slow at all.

A large piece of roasted soul meat weighing more than ten kilograms was picked up casually by her. Xuan Jin squeezed it lightly, and was suddenly compressed to the size of a palm, and was eaten into her stomach in a few mouthfuls.

It's not like the two sturdy men next to him were carrying a large piece of roasted spiritual meat and tearing it into pieces.

"Girl, you are just wasting your natural resources by eating like this." Fang Yaowu said angrily, "You have not tasted the exquisite cooking skills of the Baiyunlou chef at all."

Spiritual meat can replenish the human body's energy and blood far more than ordinary meat.

As the level of the Big Eater competition gets higher and higher, the popularity becomes more and more intense, and the ingredients used become more and more high-end. In the finals, Baiyunlou actually brought out the extremely rare and rare fifth-level spiritual beef to entertain the seeded contestants.

It's just that although this meat is good, it is very filling. Ordinary people can't digest the huge amount of Qi and blood in it even if they take a small bite. Even if a cultivator in the realm of heaven and human eats too much, he still has to spend time practicing meditation and quickly digesting the energy and blood, otherwise the energy and blood will burst the blood vessels and cause bleeding.

The woman ignored him at all and just silently ate the fifth-level spiritual beef barbecue piece by piece. Her lower abdomen, which looked flat and restrained, did not seem to show any signs of bulging.

On the contrary, Fang Yaowu and Shangguan Yunhong, who were extremely muscular, gradually began to have beads of sweat pouring out of their foreheads, and their faces became a little red.

Obviously, the fifth-level spiritual beef they are now supplementing has gradually reached their limit.

"Is this Li Ci back?" Prince Heng stood up excitedly, but after taking a closer look, he fell back in his chair in disappointment, "It's not Li Ci. It's not like this girl Li Ci is eating. She is so elegant~"

"Huh? That girl's Yuan Shui profound energy is so pure and thick? As it flows, it feels like real Yuan Shui is flowing in her body."

After all, Prince Heng was a late-stage cultivator in the Purple Mansion Realm of the same generation as Master Yunyang. His eyes were so vicious that he could tell something fishy about her at a glance.

He could even vaguely feel a vortex of Yuan Shui in her stomach, spinning constantly like a galaxy, mincing, absorbing, and converting all the food eaten into pure Qi and blood.

None of this energy and blood was wasted. Instead, she quickly absorbed it into her body in an extremely fast way. As the Yuanshui Xuanqi was transported to every part of her body, bit by bit Strengthening itself.

That's right, while she was eating, she actually entered a state of cultivation and began to digest the energy and blood brought by those foods.

"It's such a strong Yuan Shui Xuan Qi, and it's absorbed so quickly."

As a member of the royal family, Prince Heng was not only powerful but also very knowledgeable. But now he was completely attracted by her and couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

However, after a few breaths, he saw something strange again: "Huh? The characteristics of her mysterious energy are clearly derived from one of the nine meridians cultivation techniques in the Holy Land - [Tianyi Zhenshui Booklet]. She used Could it be that that method is actually a small magical power - [Heaven and water transform all things]."

"This woman is only in the middle stage of the Heavenly Realm, but she has been allowed to practice the holy land inheritance treasure book. Is it possible that she is the great genius of the holy land? No, no. Tianyi Zhenshui, one of the nine veins of the holy land, is among the current young generation. There is no great successor."

Great talent has always been rare.

Even among the Holy Land's Nine Meridians, not every generation can find a suitable successor to the great genius at the right time. From time to time, a certain lineage will be discontinued.

Of course, as long as the Holy Land remains, even if a certain lineage is temporarily discontinued, it can always be continued.

But no matter which lineage, whenever a suitable heir of a great genius appears, he must be a famous figure in the world, and there is no way he will appear out of nowhere like this.

Just as Prince Heng was filled with doubts, Fang Yaowu, the celestial genius from Junwu, finally couldn't bear it any longer. He fell to the ground with foam at the mouth, blood surging all over his body, and it looked very bad. .

In every Big Eater competition, a similar situation will occur, where you can't eat anymore and have to hold on to your stomach.

Upon seeing this, the waiters at Baiyun Tower immediately ordered the guards to carry him down and gave him an vomiting potion.

"After all, Fang Yaowu is worse than Shangguan Yunhong, who has the devouring bloodline."

Many of his supporters lamented.

Now it depends on 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 vomited it out when he opened his mouth, and finally gave up completely, ran under the ring and vomited a lot.

After a while, he regained his composure, ran back to the ring and angrily pointed at the mysterious woman and cursed: "I, Shangguan Yunhong, have a devouring bloodline and have refined my fighting body. How could I lose?! You must have cheated!" Now! I don’t accept it, I’m going to pull back your veil and see which kind of witch is causing trouble here!”

After saying that, Shangguan Yunhong's momentum surged, and he rushed toward the mysterious woman with rumbling steps. His giant claws like cattail leaf fans quickly reached out and grabbed her veil.

Under the light, you can clearly see 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 shot through the air made bursts of sharp whistles.

It can be seen that although this claw is just used casually, its power cannot be underestimated.

"Girl, be careful."

"Fairy, run quickly."

The supporters of the mysterious fairy under the cloud platform were very nervous. They shouted reminders and scolded angrily: "Shangguan Yunhong, you are too despicable to refuse to admit defeat."

Unexpectedly, before Shangguan Yunhong's claws touched her veil.

The mysterious woman dodged the claw lightly, and at the same time kicked Shangguan Yunhong in the stomach like lightning.

Then there was a "bang", and Shangguan Yunhong's body, which was as thick as an ancient war elephant, seemed to have been severely swung by a hammer. It flew out of the ring and hit the ground hard.

While everyone was stunned.

The mysterious fairy raised her jade hand gently, and a huge scroll rose into the air, hung firmly on the roof of Baiyun Tower, and then unfolded from top to bottom.

A huge vertical banner suddenly appeared in front of everyone.

There is a row of characters written on it like flying dragons and phoenixes: "Longzuo Academy, Tianhe True Successor Wang Liyao, now sixty-nine years old, is setting up a competition here today. He will first kick the Beijing Tianjiao, and then sweep the Nine Meridians of the Holy Land. Anyone under the age of 150 If you want, you can come and fight, and you won’t refuse anyone who comes!”

This banner comes out.

The scene fell silent.

The supervisor next to Prince Heng froze, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead: "Oh my God~~ This is a test of talent by a great genius... How many years has it been since I came to Kyoto to have such a grand scene?"

…
