I am collecting entries in reincarnation

Chapter 156 Release of List
"Master Xian! Breakfast is here!"

At about noon, Qian Li brought breakfast over personally. A bowl of porridge and two side dishes were neatly placed on the plate.

Li Xian took it with a smile and said good morning to Qian Li.

Qian Li said, "Master Xian, don't underestimate this breakfast because it's simple. The porridge is made from the fire that was lit last night. The fish meat is simmered in it, and then sprinkled with fine salt and ginger juice to remove the fishy smell. It tastes really fresh! These two side dishes are pickled snow mustard and newly grown bamboo shoots. They are pickled properly. Most people on this ship rely on these pickles. Don't underestimate these bamboo shoots, they are especially suitable for the season and taste really delicious. You are used to delicacies from land and sea at home, so try this and you will know that seasonal snacks are not bad!"

Li Xian laughed and said, "I'm not some spoiled young master. People in the martial arts world don't care about so many things. Having food to eat is enough for me. How can I bear such a burden?"

Qian Li said quickly, "You are the young master of our family, not to mention that your name alone is well-known in Lingyun County. At the age of fourteen or fifteen, you were able to wipe out bandits on your own. When we were your age, we hadn't even started our own army yet. It's a rare opportunity to get close to you. Please don't refuse. It's a pity that you can only walk this distance with us. We will be parting ways soon. This is all we can do for you. Young Master, if you want to go out and travel, you must make a great name for yourself and bring glory to your family. Don't forget us brothers when you do."

Li Xian burst out laughing: "Brother Qian, you are such a talker! You've blown me away! There are so many heroes in the world. I'm not going out to compete for fame and fortune, but to gain experience, so as not to become a frog in a well without realizing it."

Zhao Silu's expression straightened upon hearing this, and she nodded, saying, "Young Master is right, but it was too late for me to understand this truth. If I had realized it earlier, I wouldn't be in this situation today."

Li Xian was speechless for a moment, then he said, "Did you send breakfast to Master Mingxin?"

Qian Li smiled and said, "Master Mingxin got up early in the morning and is watching the scenery from the side of the ship."

As he said this, he invited Li Xian to come to the side of the boat to enjoy some fresh air, saying that it would taste quite good when paired with porridge and side dishes.

Only see

The red sun and the rosy clouds are in harmony with each other, and I ride the morning breeze to Hexi.

The water and sky are one color, and the mountains and rivers are beautiful and boundless.

Li Ming, on the other hand, was leaning against the side of the cargo ship. He slowly turned around when he heard the movement of other people. A faint smile hung on his handsome face, and he was wearing a white monk's robe, which really gave him a sense of being out of this world.

But Li Ming was secretly sighing in his heart, he could no longer be the Green-robed Swordsman, but he could at least be the Wonderful Monk Wuhua, which would be quite impressive anyway.

If it weren't for the mission he had this time to go to the Yunzhou Martial Arts Competition to show his skills, if Li Ming really left the temple on his own, he would probably have to put on a wig and act like a real knight.

But I'm afraid I'll be traveling with this Mr. Li Jiaxian all the way, so I have to dress like this. Fortunately, this look is not bad.

Li Xian naturally had no idea what Li Ming was thinking. Although they had known each other for only a short time, Li Xian came from a noble family and was neither arrogant nor impetuous. He had a gentle attitude and was usually approachable even to his servants, not to mention this disciple of Guangde Temple who was a family friend. Naturally, he had been very nice to Li Ming along the way, which made Li Ming very comfortable. Therefore, he did not seem to be unfamiliar with him at this moment. He immediately chanted "Amitabha" and said.

"Good morning, Mr. Li."

"Hahaha, good morning. My father told me that Master Mingxin, you grew up in Guangde Temple since you were a child. This is your first time leaving the temple." Li Xian walked forward with a smile and pointed to the river bank.

"The Luo River feeds countless people in Lingzhou. Developed shipping is our greatest advantage."

"Well, the big river is flowing. It's quite fresh. But Mr. Li, don't call me "little master" from now on. Just call me Mingxin." Li Ming said.

Li Xian agreed without hesitation, but said, "I can call you Mingxin, but you are not allowed to call me Master."

"What's that called? Benefactor?"

Li Ming was in a good mood and started joking. He pretended to bow and said solemnly, "My humble servant Mingxin greets you, benefactor Li."

This made Li Xian laugh, and he said, "You can call me by my name, or call me Brother Li. After all, I am a few years older than you."

Li Ming smiled and said, "That's fine. I'll just call you Brother Li. It's closer than Young Master."

Li Xian nodded, knowing that their relationship was not that close yet, and nodded indifferently.

Several people stood on the deck, looking around, eating breakfast and chatting. Li Ming spoke highly of the fresh bamboo shoots, saying they had a sweet and refreshing fragrance and a crisp texture. Although they were not a precious ingredient, they were in season and tasted a bit like spring, which was intoxicating.

In just half a day, the big ship had to dock again to exchange cargo, etc. The amount of cargo to be loaded and unloaded this time was relatively large, and it would take a certain amount of time, so Li Xian made an appointment with Mingxin to have lunch nearby. As long as they could get back before Shenshi (before 3 pm), there would be no problem.

The pier we docked at this time belongs to Aries City. The most famous thing in the city is not the restaurants but the many snacks and pastries. There are also many sweet shops on the streets. Walking out from the pier, there are roadside stalls that stretch half a street not far away. Wisps of smoke rise up, mixed with fragrance and drifting out.

This stall catered to the dock laborers. It was lunchtime, and the place was bustling with activity. There was a sense of the everyday world that caught Li Ming by surprise. He'd seen this place countless times in the reincarnation game, but each time he left, his memory faded, becoming less vivid, as if a layer of film had always separated them. Now, truly perceiving everything, it felt quite different.

Li Xian chuckled at this and said, "I also grew up in the mansion. My parents kept a close eye on me and didn't allow me to go out. They only let me practice martial arts and study literature at home. My world was always limited to the Li mansion. I didn't go out and see the world for the first time until I was thirteen. I was even worse than you at that time."

Li Ming nodded and said, "Excuse me, if you don't care about the common people, how can you understand the true meaning of Buddha?"

Because their attire was in stark contrast to the people around them, even though they stopped at this moment, no one dared to approach. After all, one was dressed in snow-white clothes and the other in blue brocade clothes, they looked out of place here no matter how you looked at them.

Li Xian took Li Ming and continued walking outside. Soon they crossed several streets and came to a wide street. They found a relatively clean shop and sat down.

"When you come to Aries City, you must try the local specialty, braised lamb horns. You don't have to go to a big restaurant, just find a small street stall. The taste is amazing. Boss, give me two bowls of braised lamb horns!"

"Okay, two bowls of stewed lamb horns. Do you want chili?"

"Yes! Put more!"

"No."

Li Xian glanced at Li Ming and asked, "You don't eat spicy food?"

Li Ming nodded and said, "I don't like it."

"You can't not eat spicy food. The taste of the braised lamb horns is completely different without spicy food." Li Xian said, shaking his head, "It seems you are not that lucky."

The shopkeeper was a thin old man in his fifties. He chuckled and said, "You two aren't locals, are you? Actually, you don't have to eat spicy food to make the lamb horns stew. It still has its own flavor without the chili peppers, so it's not bad. Are you here to wait for the results?"

"Are the results announced?" Li Ming asked.

"Yes." The old man pointed diagonally across the street. In front of the door of a house with a tall lintel hung a plaque with three large characters "Six Doors" inscribed on it.

Li Xian said with a smile, "The 15th of every month is the day when the results are announced. Otherwise, I would have stewed lamb horns all over the city. Why would I have to eat here? It should be about time. The Ascension Record specifically records the masters above the Divine Ability Realm. The list is difficult to change, but the major states of the Six Gates will select the innate masters in their state and rank them. It is called the Heroes List. The acquired realm is divided into two lists. One is the Talent List under the age of 24, and the other is the Heroes List for famous Jianghu veterans."

"The martial arts competition is coming up soon, and this list is crucial information. Maybe I'll even be able to face off against the masters on the list someday. Do you want to come and take a look?"

Listening to Li Xian's words, Li Ming could only smile and said, "Brother Li is really thoughtful. Let's wait for the results to be announced."

At this time, the store owner just brought up two bowls of stewed lamb horns. One bowl was covered with red oil, and the color was attractive, while the other bowl was dotted with a few emerald green stars, and also exuded a faint fragrance.

At this time, the shopkeeper also happened to talk and asked, "Are you two from the underworld?"

"Don't they look alike?" Li Xian asked.

"Not really," the shopkeeper shook his head and said, "You look like a young master, and this guy looks like a monk at first glance. But from what you said, it seems like you are also going to participate in the Lingzhou Martial Arts Conference, so it's 80% likely."

Since martial arts are prevalent in this world, and martial arts competitions are held every three years and are well known to the general public, people on the streets and alleys also have some understanding of these martial arts world affairs.

Li Ming picked up one with chopsticks and took a closer look. In fact, this thing is called a sheep horn, but it is actually a noodle dumpling, which is purely vegetarian. Otherwise, Li Xian would not have brought Li Ming to eat it. It’s just that the cooking method is clever, and the shape after cooking is like a small sheep horn, so it has this name.

Li Ming tasted it and found it tasted really good. The dough was chewy and had an excellent texture. Although the noodle soup did not contain chili peppers, it was still somewhat sweet and fresh. He couldn't help but praise it.

Li Xian also ate two and praised the taste, then continued, "What do you think we'll get?"

"Which one?" The shopkeeper shook his head and said, "Look at your delicate skin, thin arms and legs. That can't work. Don't get yourself killed accidentally. Don't several people die every time? If you ask me, go and have a look, it's ok to gain experience, but don't really fight. It's not worth it if you get hurt."

The shopkeeper kept chattering about how someone in the city was practicing martial arts and had become so strong that he could easily lift stone locks weighing hundreds of pounds. But who would have known that he died in a martial arts competition a few years ago. He was not as skilled as his peers, and no one asked him a single question. All that was sent home was a jar of ashes, and he was charged a hundred taels of silver for travel expenses.

Li Xian and Li Ming smiled at each other and buried their heads in eating the lamb horns. At this moment, a rough voice was heard.

"The results are out!"
