Chapter 376
When Yu Xi and his group entered the spectator seats, there were not many people around and the location was very remote. The view was so poor that they could not even see the entire Tianqian Terrace.
But very safe.
Yu Xi was already half a spiritual practitioner, so as long as she and Nan Lingjun concealed their cultivation, there would be no problem.
But the others were demons, devil cultivators, and mortals. Even if they disguised themselves and hid their cultivation, and deceived the cultivators patrolling outside Chongshan, they would still be exposed when they met cultivators with higher cultivation levels.
In order to keep a low profile, they came in as monks from a small sect, so that it would be convenient for them to leave if they found anything unusual.
As soon as he came in, before he could find a place to sit down, he was met with countless cold stares from other monks.
When the nearby cultivators saw that they were not wearing the immortal robes of the five major immortal sects, they immediately distanced themselves from them with disdain, as if they were tainted with some bad luck.
However, this kind of exclusion is nothing to Xi and the others.
Jizhi didn't even realize that he was being excluded. He was looking towards Tianqiantai with a curious look on his face.
There is a celestial river between the spectator seats and the Tianqian platform used exclusively for competitions, and the celestial river is surrounded by patrolling monks.
Two monks were competing with each other on the Tianqian stage. Their moves were very skillful and cheers from the watching monks could be heard from time to time.
Yu Xi and his companions were not interested in the monks' competition. After they sat down, they began to observe their surroundings and found that almost all the elders near the platform were unknown. There were not many powerful elders, and only one person seemed to need attention.
This man was wearing the uniform of the Songshan Sect. He had a full forehead and upturned eyes. He looked very young and had an outstanding appearance.
His black hair was tied up casually, with a few strands of white hair mixed in.
While everyone around him was staring at the monks competing, he lowered his eyes and fiddled with the Bagua compass in his hand, frowning and counting with his fingers from time to time. The more he counted, the uglier his expression became.
Gu An approached Yu Xi and whispered, "Senior Sister, that should be Qinglian. I haven't seen Qingxin, nor have I seen Liuyun Immortal Chu Xiao. Judging from their attire, there should be twenty-one elders from the five major sects, but no sect leader."
Yu Xi nodded. "So Qingzheng's death has made the Immortal Sect even more nervous than we imagined. Are all the important people gone except Qinglian?"
As she spoke, she stood on tiptoe and looked at the mountain road leading to the immortality. There was cloud and mist there, and there were no people. Only cultivators could be seen appearing occasionally, but she didn't notice anything wrong for the time being.
After making sure the surroundings were safe, she stretched herself, took out a large soft cushion from the storage ring with a smile, placed it next to Jizhi, patted it to make sure it was flat, and then lay down on it when she felt comfortable. Her head just happened to rest on Jizhi's arm, feeling extremely comfortable.
Then he took out a bunch of snacks and gave a handful to everyone.
Then he ate snacks while concentrating on watching the monks compete, and occasionally commented with Jizhi. He didn't seem to be here to cause trouble, but rather to have an outing.
Nan Lingjun and Zun Jin were stunned.
Xing Lan took out a golden box from her arms with an expressionless face, put all the peanuts and melon seeds that Yu Xi gave her into it, then locked the box with two hundred locks and put it away carefully.
Hmm~ I have a family heirloom~ I'll show it off when I get home and make Wu Mi and the others jealous~?7?8
When Yuxi came closer, Jizhi took the initiative to adjust his posture so that his sister could lean more comfortably. At the same time, he asked his sister excitedly if he could go up and fight.
"Sister, don't watch other people's fights. It's not fun. Watch me fight! I bite people fiercely! Wherever sister points, I bite! I guarantee I'll bite them to the sky and into the ground! I look good!"
"Wow, brother is really awesome, brother is good."
Yu Xi raised her hand, touched his head, and stuffed two steamed buns into his mouth: "I'll give you steamed buns as a reward."
Jizhi was stunned for a moment, then immediately lowered his head happily and started eating the steamed buns.
While Yu Xi was coaxing Ji Zhi, Gu An was sitting on the other side of Yu Xi, looking down and reading a cookbook.
He wrote down this recipe last night while staying up late. The contents on it are all the cooking methods of various snacks that he learned from Nan Lingjun.
At this moment, he was holding a book, thinking about something while reading, and writing a few more words from time to time.
"What are you writing?" Nan Lingjun peeked from behind curiously.
When she saw that Gu An had expanded upon some of the pastry recipes she had mentioned before and developed new pastry recipes, her eyes suddenly widened.
She had never heard of some of the recipes, but they looked delicious. They even contained spiritual herbs, making them a kind of immortality cake!
"Gu An, did you graduate from New Oriental Cooking School?"
"what?"
"How did you come up with these recipes?"
Nan Lingjun humbly asked for advice.
Gu An smiled gently, took out a herbal encyclopedia from his pocket and handed it to Nan Lingjun, saying:
"You can figure it out by reading more books."
Nan Lingjun stared at the book in his hand that could be used as a brick.
Then Gu An continued, "I want Senior Sister to eat more fresh and delicious food. Nan Lingjun, if you have any new and unique recipes, please tell me. I will also teach you the recipes I think of. How about we mutually benefit each other?"
"Okay." Nan Lingjun put away the herbal encyclopedia, took the paper and pen handed to him by Gu An, and began to rack his brains to think of a recipe.
Seeing this, Gu An sighed and whispered, "I'll give you the herbal encyclopedia, but to give Senior Sister a sense of surprise, can you only tell me the formulas and not tell anyone else? For example, my Senior Brother, he's a talkative person, and if he knew, the surprise would be gone."
Nan Lingjun didn't think much about it and just made an "OK" gesture: "No problem, if Zhong Xian asks me about it, I will say it's a private secret recipe that can't be told to anyone else."
Gu An received a satisfactory reply, and his amber eyes curved into crescents.
Very good, he has won over the senior sister’s stomach, and Zhong Xian can’t catch up with him even if he flies.
Zun Jin was touching the stone railing in front of him lovingly.
It is worthy of being the stone railing of the immortal gate. The stone is plated with gold. If you pry off a piece of it, no one will be able to find it, right?
Looking back at Nan Lingjun being sold and still helping others count money, she was so disappointed that she couldn't bear to watch any longer and just said to Yu Xi:
"Yu Xi, I want to see the road to immortality."
The purpose of her coming here was to confirm whether there was any problem in ascending to immortality, and why the cultivator controlled by Song Yici said that many people would die in the Immortal Gate Conference.
"Don't rush, don't rush."
Yu Xi was very relaxed at the moment. If she hadn't hidden her tail, it would have been resting softly on the cushion, wagging the tip of her tail leisurely.
"It's not the time yet. Let's watch the monks compete first. It's very exciting."
Isn't it time yet?
Zun Jin frowned and looked back at Tianqiantai.
At this moment, there was a burst of boos in the arena. A monk with ordinary appearance didn't even use his sword. He just raised his hand, and the monk in front of him was seriously injured and flew out of the arena.
