Longevity starts with choosing Hextech enhancement

Chapter 121: Encountering Jing Qiyuan at the Lantern Festival

"Master, Happy Lantern Festival. Do you want to go see the lanterns together?"

The next day, Xiao Chen was practicing the "Seven Star Sword Technique" in the yard.

Su Wanqing ran over again and invited him to go out for fun.

Ever since she started to deliberately suppress her cultivation, she suddenly had a lot more time.

This time she even had a pair of buns on her hair and wore a red mink cloak, and it was obvious that she came well prepared.

"Are the lanterns really that beautiful? They make you want to go every year."

"Of course it's beautiful! Uncle Master, once you've been there, you'll remember it forever."

"Okay, let's go take a look together."

The so-called combination of work and rest. I have been practicing continuously for many days in order to make a breakthrough, and it is time to relax a little.

Also, I had never seen lanterns before, so it was a good opportunity to go and see them.

The two came to Lihuo City not far away, which is the largest city in the entire Lihuo Sect.

Not only do a large number of monks live there, but also many mortals.

Xiao Chen had inquired before and found out that there was no mortal kingdom in Lizhou. There were only four divisions: villages, towns, counties, and cities.

All counties, big and small, are managed by nearby sects or more powerful immortal cultivation families.

It is said that mortals in some places live quite well.

After all, the most important purpose of the sect is to select immortal seedlings every year and choose children with spiritual roots to replenish fresh blood.

Relatively speaking, they don’t attach much importance to food.

But this also depends on luck. If you encounter a place that is too lazy to manage it personally and sends tribesmen or even chooses a representative to take charge, then it is hard to say.

"Wow! It's candied haws. Uncle Master, would you like one?"

Su Wanqing was very excited. When she saw someone selling snacks, she immediately ran over, took two skewers, and ran back.

"I don't like candied haws."

Xiao Chen shook his head, his attention focused on the lanterns nearby.

I saw all kinds of lanterns hanging on both sides of the street, colorful and in various shapes, like a gorgeous painting.

There are lifelike dragon and phoenix lanterns, auspicious lotus lanterns, and ingenious revolving lanterns, which make the entire main street look like a dream.

There are even many orchids and plum blossoms in vases as decoration.

It is the time when the luxuriant colors divide the earth from afar, and the brilliant lights adorn the sky from afar. The stars seem to have fallen from the Han River, and the moon seems to be hanging by the building.

"How is it? Looks good, right?"

Su Wanqing held a hot roasted sweet potato in her hand, eating it while asking questions with a smile.

She has never stopped talking since she came to the city.

I have already eaten two strings of candied haws, a bowl of hot oil tea, a handful of malt sugar, a piece of osmanthus cake, a handful of dragon beard cake, and a box of steamed cheese.

In addition, there was still some uneaten Poria cocos cake in his hand.

Xiao Chen didn't have much of an appetite to begin with, but he was made hungry by what he saw: "Can you give me a piece of your cake?"

Su Wanqing handed it over generously: "Here, this Poria cocos cake is the best."

He tried taking a bite and found it to be sweet but not greasy, soft but not sticky, and melted in his mouth, refreshing and delicious.

"It's really delicious. This can't be made by an ordinary person, right? Could it be a spiritual chef?"

Spiritual cooking is also one of the hundred arts of cultivation.

The reason why Baiyuzhai’s dishes are ranked first in Lihuofang City is because they have a spiritual chef in charge.

Su Wanqing shook her head: "No, there are no cultivators in this family. Their ancestors have made a living by making Fuling cakes."

"It's been passed down from generation to generation, and the production method has been constantly improved. I heard it's been passed down for hundreds of years."

Xiao Chen sighed with emotion when he heard this: "If that's the case, then they are really amazing."

"And the fireworks later will be beautiful too."

Su Wanqing talked about the fireworks with anticipation in her eyes: "Time is almost up, let's hurry up and grab a good spot."

Fireworks were a little lacking in meaning for Xiao Chen.

He had seen bigger and better ones, and with magic involved, he didn't think fireworks were that strange.

As he looked around, he looked around and saw a familiar face in the crowd - Jing Qiyuan, the head of the Jing family.

Although Xiao Chen had only met him once, he still remembered him.

Previously, Jing Qiyuan had visited the Jiang family on behalf of the family, saying he wanted to bring him a message, but was kicked out by him.

Although this may be a bit too subjective.

But in Xiao Chen's mind, he has been labeled as a running dog of the Jiang family.

At this time, he was seen standing with another stranger who was building the foundation.

Xiao Chen immediately felt that they must be colluding with each other and discussing some conspiracy.

As the saying goes, meeting is fate.

I was so busy practicing before that I almost forgot about this person.

But now that I have met you today, I must not miss it again.

He decided to work overtime and investigate Jing Qiyuan on behalf of the sect's Demon-Exorcism Hall to see if he had any connection with the devil.

He made up an excuse and tricked Su Wanqing back.

Xiao Chen simply put on the invisibility cloak and followed Jing Qiyuan from a distance.

With the help of spiritual consciousness, tracking becomes very secretive and more difficult to detect.

As a result, Xiao Chen saw that the two of them actually went straight out of the city, and the path they took became more and more remote.

At first he thought he had been discovered.

But soon, he saw that Jing Qiyuan and another foundation-building cultivator had actually come to a valley.

There were a large number of tied-up monks in the valley, as well as members of the Jing family who were responsible for guarding them.

There were scattered men in black nearby, bringing back new cultivators.

"Brother Qiyuan, I'll have to trouble you to send these people over later."

"Brother Xiuguo, don't worry. Leave the rest to me."

After gathering a hundred independent cultivators here.

Jing Qiyuan began to command the monks of the Jing family, putting them all in wooden barrels, and then took them away in a carriage towards the northwest.

The Jing family will definitely not be able to escape.

In order not to alert the enemy, we defeated them one by one.

Xiao Chen waited patiently for Jing Qiyuan to leave with the Jing family, and then turned his attention to another group of people.

This group of people had just kidnapped the wandering cultivator and were preparing to return to their family.

As a result, halfway through, when passing a small bridge, I saw a flash of golden light.

Then a mysterious man in a cloak stopped them.

The leading family head stretched out his hand, signaling the tribesmen to stop.

He stepped forward and said, "Fellow Daoist, we are from the Lihuozhu family. May I ask why we are blocking my way?"

Oh no, you are using the Lihuo Gate to pressure me, but you have made a wrong calculation.

Xiao Chen was not afraid at all. He directly took out the fire-hiding treasure gourd and used the fire-eliminating demon move.

Sixty-six fire bombs completely covered all the Zhu family cultivators present.

Zhu Xiuguo was shocked and quickly summoned a magic shield to protect his body.

As a result, when he took the fire bomb, he looked back.

The cultivator from the Zhu family behind him was lying on the ground, and not even half of his body could be seen.

Zhu Xiuguo's eyes suddenly turned red, but he remained quite calm. He knew that the situation was not right and he absolutely could not fight hard.

Then he pointed at Xiao Chen and said, "You bold lunatic, you dare to commit a crime in the Lihuo Sect. The elders of the sect will not let you go."

"I will fight with you!"

As he spoke, a talisman floated out from his sleeve.

It instantly evolved into a nine-meter-long python, opening its huge mouth and biting towards Xiao Chen.

Taking this opportunity, Zhu Xiuguo turned around and flew away on his sword, trying to escape from this place.
