Overthrow the Cultivation Civilization

It was almost time for dinner, so Wang Qiye stopped swinging his knife and wiped the sweat off his face. He shook the gourd in his hand, heard the sound of water, and was delighted. He unscrewed the lid and drank the water with his head tilted back.

"Ah, it's enjoyable."

He drank all the water in the gourd and tied it back around his waist. He glanced at Dahei and found that the thing had disappeared. He didn't care and went down the mountain with the hatchet.

When passing by the inner gate, Wang Qiye suddenly had an idea and tried to go in. Hey, the two people guarding the gate under the archway didn't stop him.

But Wang Qiye was in a dilemma. He had never been here before! After entering, how should he get out and where should he go?

"Oh, I got it. Aren't there two gatekeepers here?"

"Greetings, Senior Brother. I am Wang Qiye, an outer disciple. May I ask what your name is?"

"I don't deserve it. I'm also a Qi Refining disciple. Just call me Qi Ruilin."

Qi Ruilin glanced at the identity jade pendant on Wang Qiye's belt and said calmly.

Wang Qiye was not sure at first, but after seeing Qi Ruilin's behavior, it seemed that they only recognized the identity jade pendant, which made it easy.

"I have never been to this sect before, and I have something I would like to teach you. I hope Fellow Daoist Qi can tell me."

"What's the matter? Tell me."

"It's like this, I want to buy two jars of wine, but I don't know which way to go?"

"To buy some wine, go straight along this road, turn left in front, go two doors straight, turn left again, go straight, turn right again, and the third store is it. If you want to buy some snacks to go with the wine, the barbecue restaurant across the street has the best food."

Qi Ruilin said slowly.

"Ah, thank you, Brother Qi. I'll go ahead."

Wang Qiye was overjoyed. There was also braised stew? Sure enough, only the inner sect disciples who were in the foundation-building stage could afford it.

Wang Qiye raised his foot and followed Qi Ruilin's instructions to the inner gate. He met other inner gate disciples on the way. Everyone had a jade pendant on their belts, so no one checked them.

Turning into a door from the right, Wang Qiye was surprised by the scene in front of him. This turned out to be a commercial street full of ancient style and charm! Rows of ancient buildings stood on both sides of the street. These buildings had unique styles, with flying eaves, brackets, carved beams and painted buildings, showing a strong historical heritage.

The streets are paved with bluestone slabs, polished by time to be as smooth as a mirror. There are a variety of shops on the street, with signs hanging high, with the store names written in various fonts such as seal script, official script, regular script, running script and cursive script. Some stores even have red lanterns hanging in front of them, swaying in the wind, adding a festive atmosphere to the entire block.

Maybe it's still early, there aren't many people on the street. Plus I have a mission to do today, so I can only come back another day.

Go straight to the third house, Lingjingzhai, with the word "Wine" hanging on the door.

When the shopkeeper saw that a distinguished guest had come, he hurriedly came to greet him with a smile.

"Little Taoist priest, what do you want to buy?"

"I see your place is also called Lingjingzhai, what is the relationship between it and the Lingjingzhai outside the sect?"

"Hahaha, in reply to the young Taoist priest, the one outside the Qingzhu Peak is a branch of our store. All the big and small mountain gates in Lingxi Valley have branches of our Lingjingzhai."

"Oh, there are only a few shops in our outer gate, why are there so many shops in the inner gate?"

Wang Qiye launched a soul-searching interrogation.

"Is this the first time for the young Taoist priest to come to the inner gate?"

The shopkeeper asked tentatively.

"Exactly."

"That's no wonder. Little Taoist priest, you don't know that in the Qi Refining and Foundation Building stages, people still need to eat grains. In the Golden Core stage, although they can fast and no longer eat worldly food, some Golden Core cultivators are not used to it, so they often come here. In the Nascent Soul stage, these great masters have their own caves. Over time, everyone likes to come to this busy market in the Foundation Building stage to stroll around, and it has formed the scale it is today."

"Oh, so that's it."

Wang Qiye nodded to show that he understood.

"What would you like to drink today, little Taoist priest?"

"Let's just get Black Scale Brew. This is my first time here. How do I transfer the contribution points?"

Having gotten used to this kind of wine, Wang Qiye has no intention of changing his taste.

"Little Taoist priest, on the main interface, there is a rectangular box below the contribution points. Enter "Transfer 1 contribution point to Lingjingzhai, the inner gate of Qingzhu Peak" in it."

The shopkeeper spoke patiently.

Wang Qiye probed his spiritual consciousness into the identity jade pendant and took a look. It was really there. He tried to operate it and the transfer was successful.

"Boss, I've transferred it. Take a look. Did you receive it?"

"Hahaha, little Taoist priest, I have received your contribution points. Wait a moment and I will send them to you right away."

"Hey hey hey."

Wang Qiye felt quite a sense of accomplishment, but when two waiters came out carrying two large jars of wine, Wang Qiye was dumbfounded. He wished he had brought the storage bag with him.

Helplessly, Wang Qiye could only hold a large jar of wine in one hand and walk out.

I just came out of Lingjingzhai. It's not easy to come here. In the past, I had no money and could only drink for nothing. Now I have money, so I have to prepare some delicious dishes.

When Wang Qiye turned his head, he saw the barbecue and stew shop opposite. Hehe, Qi Ruilin is really nice.

He walked to the front of the store, but before he even got there, he was attracted by the aroma of braised meat, which also aroused Wang Qiye's gluttony.

Wang Qiye first put the two large jars of wine on the ground, and then peered into the two large pots in the store.

"Little Taoist priest, what are you going to buy?"

The shopkeeper greeted us warmly.

"Boss, this is my first time here, how do you sell this?"

"Hey, little Taoist priest, the most famous dish in our store is the braised pork and roast chicken. Don't underestimate this chicken, because the ingredients used in the stew are authentic spiritual medicines. Although they are not expensive, they are stewed with the secret recipe passed down from generation to generation by my Li family. They are delicious and I guarantee you will come back for more. Hehe. This braised pork and roast chicken costs one spiritual stone. If you can't finish it, I will sell half of it and you can store the remaining half here. You can also buy half of it and pair it with some vegetarian dishes stewed in this pot. Don't worry, the food in this pot is also stewed with spiritual materials, and the taste is no worse."

Shopkeeper Li said this with great pride.

Wang Qiye nodded and thought about it.

"Four roast chickens, one separate package, and a vegetarian stew worth 1 contribution point."

"Okay, do you want to cut it?"

With the big business coming in, Boss Li couldn't stop smiling.

"Three were cut, and the other one was not cut."

As he spoke, Wang Qiye manipulated the identity jade pendant and transferred 5 contribution points to Li’s Braised Meat Shop.

"Boss, turn around."

"Got it, little Taoist priest, please wait a moment, should this vegetable stew be served together with this braised pork and roast chicken?"

"Well, put them together."

The boss packed everything up, divided it into two ceramic jars, one large and one small, and thoughtfully covered them with a lid of the right size and tied them with a rope.

"Little Taoist priest, take it. I've sent you a pound of vegetarian dishes. If you are used to it, come again next time."

"thank you boss."

Wang Qiye placed two pottery jars, one large and one small, on top of the two jars of wine, and pressed down with both palms. The two jars of wine rose from the ground, and Wang Qiye stretched out his palms to support the bottom of the two jars of wine. It was a bit heavy, but he could still bear it, and staggered towards the outer door.

"Young Taoist priest, you have great skills."

"Let's go, boss."

The way back was naturally familiar to him. When passing by the inner gate archway, Wang Qiye stopped.

"Friend Qi, help me get the pottery jar off the wine jar."

Although Qi Ruilin felt it was a bit strange, he still took it.

"Friend Wang, are you performing acrobatics?"

"It's a gift for you. Take it and eat it. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."

Wang Qiye grinned.

"Then I won't hesitate. Hey, roast chicken! Thanks."

Qi Ruilin, 15 years old, still a teenager, took the pottery jar and smelled it, and was reluctant to let it go.

"gone."

Wang Qiye raised his foot and left the inner door.

"It's easy to leave without seeing him off."

Wang Qiye started shouting when he was still far away from Li Erhu's hut.

"Li Erhu, come out and help me get the things!"

"coming."

The door of the hut opened, and Li Erhu and a young man walked out. They each took a jar of wine, and Wang Qiye finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"What smells so good?"

Li Erhu's nose twitched.

“Hehehe, just go in and open it and you’ll know.”

The table was already set with the food that Li Erhu and his friends had gotten from the cafeteria. Everyone cleared the middle and placed the pottery jar in the middle. After opening the lid, the three of them all came over and sniffed it frantically.

"Wow, why does this smell so good?"

"We have never seen this thing before, Wang Qiye, where did you get it?"

"Hehehe, these are some snacks that the inner sect bought for drinking."

A young man broke the wine seal, opened the lid, and poured wine into four bowls.

"How did you get in? Did you ask someone to buy it for you?"

Wang Qiye turned the jade pendant on his belt a few times by the rope.

"Of course I walked in by myself."

"Senior Brother Qiye is awesome!"

"Senior brother is amazing!"

The two young men looked at him with admiration.

"What are your names?"

"My name is Mu Beiluo and I am 14 years old."

The remaining young man handed out the porcelain bowls filled with wine while introducing them.

"My name is Xia Yucheng, and I'm 15 years old."

"Come on, let's go first."

Everyone raised their bowls and clinked them together.

Wang Qiye drank the wine in the bowl in one gulp. The spicy taste stimulated his taste buds. Alas, he still couldn't get used to it.

"Eat food, eat food, move your chopsticks."

Wang Qiye was the first to pick up a chicken leg. It was worthy of being cooked with spiritual ingredients. It tasted fragrant, a little bit spicy, and the meat was chewy. After chewing it and mixing it with the marinade, it was really delicious.

"delicious!"

"Could this be the roast chicken from Old Li's house? I've only heard of it before."

Looking at these people who were eating voraciously, Wang Qiye just smiled.

"It's the Li's stew."

"Really?"

"That's a lot of money, right?"

Li Erhu looked over and asked.

"For such a big basin, there are only two spirit stones."

“That’s quite affordable.”

"Don't just eat, Xia Yucheng, pour some wine."

"Yeah, yeah, hehe."

Xia Yucheng held a chicken wing in his mouth, happily picked up the wine jar and poured it into four bowls.

"Here, drink."

"I won't go home until I'm drunk tonight!"

Wang Qiye gulped down a few mouthfuls and took a bite of an unknown braised vegetable dish, which tasted quite unique.

"What are you going to do after you get down the mountain?"

Wang Qiye finally asked the question.

"I plan to open a restaurant."

Wang Qiye opened his eyes wide, full of disbelief.

"Are you opening this business in partnership with Senior Sister Ji Ru?"

Li Erhu nodded.

"You have to keep it a secret for me. I don't want her to know."

In fact, there are many ways, but Li Erhu used the dumbest one. But Wang Qiye didn't have the face to express his opinion, he couldn't even live his own life well.

Wang Qiye picked up the bowl.

"Then I wish your restaurant will be prosperous."

"Come on, do it."

"Dry."

"Ah ...

Wang Qiye quickly took a bite of the braised chicken to suppress the smell of the alcohol.

"When will we have your wedding wine?"

"It hasn't reached that stage yet. I'll let you know when the time comes."

Li Erhu gnawed on a chicken leg and talked as he ate.

"Okay, I'll come if I can."

"Come drink, and leave one more."

The four large bowls collided again. Before they knew it, the first jar of wine was empty, so Mu Beiluo opened another jar and filled it for everyone.

"drink!"

"If anyone isn't drunk today, don't even think about leaving this door!"

"After finishing this bowl, there is still one more!"
