#965 - Eating free food is also a skill

The Yuan family was quiet, the large mansion silent.

The Yuan family had a large population, but at this time, no one made a sound, all as silent as cicadas in winter.

Jun Wuxie and Jing Ya walked out of the small courtyard and saw the Yuan family saints who had suffered from the backlash of the formation from afar.

Those saints were pale, with deep hatred in their eyes, but they couldn't stop feeling fear. Feeling his gaze sweep over them, their legs went weak.

They were extremely terrified, a kind of despair of quietly waiting for death to arrive, but unable to change their own fate.

But the death they were waiting for did not come.

The young man left with the woman, disappearing from their family mansion just like that.

In front of the Yuan family mansion, a large number of people gathered, all looking towards the mansion.

Obviously, the commotion of the Yuan family's battle had already alarmed the nearby people.

Seeing a man and a woman walking out of the mansion, everyone showed strange expressions.

The Yuan family was clearly experiencing a major event. Under such circumstances, how could outsiders come out of the Yuan family besides their own clansmen?

"Who are these two?"

"Could the commotion caused by the Yuan family be related to them?"

"That woman is so beautiful. How can there be such a beautiful woman in the world? Heavens…"

People whispered to each other, discussing in low voices. Many more looked at Jing Ya with amazement, their eyes dazed, as if they had lost their souls.

Jun Wuxie and Jing Ya came out of the Yuan family mansion, and the onlookers automatically separated, making way for them, all guessing their identities.

"That man and woman are unfamiliar faces. They have never been seen in the Liuyun City area before. They can enter and exit the Yuan family so swaggeringly, it seems their status is extraordinary."

Across the street, several people stood side by side on a pavilion.

"Something big must have happened to the Yuan family. The commotion before was not small. At least it was a powerhouse at the level of the family head fighting, and there were even voices of the Yuan family elders!"

"Look, the Yuan family has closed its doors!"

They retracted their gazes from the backs of Jun Wuxie and Jing Ya and all looked at the Yuan family mansion.

The Yuan family closed the gate and even activated the entire mansion's defensive formation.

"Hey, it seems there is no suspense in this matter. A huge change has occurred in the Yuan family, which is likely related to the man and woman just now!"

"The Yuan family has even activated the defensive formation. It seems they know that the previous commotion was too great and would inevitably attract the attention of other families in Liuyun City. This action shows that they are afraid."

"In this way, the Yuan family must have a powerhouse who has suffered heavy damage, or even death, greatly weakening their top combat power. They activated the defensive formation to buy time for the family!"

"Hmph, the Yuan family is declining. It is the best time for us to annex the Yuan family! They activated the defensive formation to buy time. It is estimated that the Yuan family has already sent a message to their deacon in Qingyun Cave Heaven. We must take down the Yuan family before Yuan Ye returns!"

… …

Several major families in Liuyun City all took action, gathering the powerhouses of their families and heading to the Yuan family.

Those who were watching outside the Yuan family all stepped aside. They knew that from today onwards, the power structure of Liuyun City would be reshuffled.

"City Lord, are we really not going to do anything?"

The higher-ups of the Liuyun City Lord's Mansion were also discussing this matter.

"Let them go. There is no need for us to intervene."

"But, if they annex the Yuan family, they will inevitably become stronger again. By then, the strength of our City Lord's Mansion…"

"Hmph, you think too much. Don't say that their strength is not as good as our City Lord's Mansion, even if they are stronger than us, so what? My Liuyun City is a city of the Great Qian Dynasty, and this City Lord is an official of the Great Qian Dynasty. No matter how strong they are, they would not dare to be presumptuous to my City Lord's Mansion, unless they want to be exterminated!"

… …

The streets of Liuyun City were very wide, and the buildings were ancient and charming, yet not lacking in exquisiteness.

The city was very lively, with people coming and going everywhere. There were shops lining both sides of the street, selling a wide variety of goods.

"Aunt Jing, do you know anything about the four major sects on the border of Qingzhou? Which one is more reliable, Qingyun Cave Heaven, Zixia Cave Heaven, Lieshan Gate, or Xuri Sect?"

"This question has stumped Aunt Jing. Aunt Jing was born in the demon race, which is located in the area where the Eastern and Central Realms meet, near the Central Hengduan Mountains, which is very far from here."

"Many years ago, Aunt Jing passed by here with the elders of the demon race, but she doesn't know much about the sects here. These four sects you mentioned all belong to the forces in the territory of the Great Qian Dynasty and are governed by the Great Qian Dynasty to a certain extent. The four major sects seem harmonious on the surface, but in fact, they are fighting secretly. As for which sect is reliable, in Aunt Jing's opinion, there is probably no difference."

Jun Wuxie heard this, pondered slightly, and said: "Speaking of which, Qingyun Cave Heaven is the closest here, and my first choice for joining a sect should be Qingyun Cave Heaven. It's just that a high-level member of the Yuan family serves as a deacon in Qingyun Cave Heaven. I don't know how his interpersonal relationships are within Qingyun Cave Heaven."

He was worried that if he joined Qingyun Cave Heaven, the Yuan family's deacon would be a bit of a trouble for him.

He wasn't worried about himself, but mainly considering Jing Ya.

In the future, if he joined the sect, if the sect had some task that required him to go out, how could he be at ease leaving Jing Ya alone in the sect?

"Actually, you don't need to consider so much. The sect here is just a temporary post for you, a place for a short period of transition. With your strength, a mere saint realm deacon is not a big threat to you."

Jun Wuxie fell silent after hearing this.

He was naturally not afraid of that so-called deacon, but he was worried about Jing Ya.

But he couldn't say it clearly, otherwise, she would probably think that she was his burden again.

"Go ahead and join Qingyun Cave Heaven. You have just arrived in the Upper Realm, and if you want to grow better, you always need to rely on the sect. Qingyun Cave Heaven has powerhouses in the Saint King realm sitting in town, which will be of great help to you now."

"Besides, within a radius of hundreds of thousands of miles, there are only these four sects. And among these four sects, only Qingyun Cave Heaven is said to be recruiting disciples at the moment. If you don't join Qingyun Cave Heaven, how long will you have to wait? Although there are other forces in other regions, it would take us more than half a year to get out of this area, even if we traveled day and night."

"In this way, Qingyun Cave Heaven seems to be the only choice."

Jun Wuxie thought for a while, and the real problem was in front of him, unless he chose the path of casual cultivators.

However, the path of casual cultivators would encounter many problems.

For example, the source of information about the cultivation world is lagging behind. When certain resources are born, the first to know are definitely those cultivation forces, so the people in the cultivation sect will have the advantage of information and take the lead.

If you choose the path of casual cultivation, then many opportunities may be missed.

There is also a problem, that is, if he is a casual cultivator, then he needs to take Jing Ya with him at all times, which is very unwise.

Some places may be very dangerous, and she, who has fallen in realm, cannot cope with it at all. And if she is left behind, lacking the protection of a stable environment like a sect, he is equally worried.

"Let's go to Qingyun City. In the next few days, people from Qingyun Cave Heaven will conduct a sea election assessment in that city."

Jing Ya said this. The primordial spirit of the Saint Emperor realm made it easy for her to obtain information from the sea of consciousness of certain people in the city.

"Okay, let's buy some food to take with us."

Jun Wuxie walked with her on the street, and soon saw a very popular and exquisitely decorated shop — Ling Shi Zhai.

This shop sells all kinds of cooked food, and the fragrance wafts far away, and can be smelled on most of the street.

Moreover, there is a faint aura of holy spirit overflowing from the store, all from those foods.

Obviously, the food sold in Ling Shi Zhai is specially provided for holy realm practitioners, and is not made of ordinary ingredients.

She and Aunt Jing entered side by side, attracting many amazing, fiery, envious, and jealous gazes.

The practitioners who came in and out here, whether male or female, were attracted by them, especially by Jing Ya's beauty and nobility.

Some male practitioners stopped to look at them, eager to try, and wanted to strike up a conversation several times, but felt that the young man next to the beautiful woman didn't seem easy to mess with, so they forcibly restrained the impulse in their hearts.

At this time, on the street outside Ling Shi Zhai, among the endless stream of people, an old man with a heavy sword on his back, a clear face, and gentle eyes was looking at their backs.

"I didn't expect that I would encounter a young man who specializes in physical body training when I passed by Liuyun City this time. Physical body training is extremely difficult. His performance in the Yuan family was really extraordinary. Physical body cultivators are really terrifying…"

The old man stroked his gray beard, his heart was very shocked.

He is the head of the Zhenwu Peak, one of the five veins of Qingyun Cave Heaven, and one of the strongest top powerhouses in Qingyun Cave Heaven besides the background powerhouses.

This time, he personally came to investigate the situation in the depths of Liuyun Forest. He was returning to the sect and passing by here. He never thought he would see such a scene.

His heart was very shocked.

If you simply talk about practicing the physical body, such people are not uncommon.

However, it is extremely difficult to find a real body cultivator in the true sense.

That young man can use blood to perform secret techniques, which is a real body cultivator.

"It's a pity, I've never heard of a body cultivator going far. This road is ultimately a dead end. The development of the human body will eventually come to an end, and it will soon reach its limit, and it will be difficult to make progress in the future…"

He felt very sorry in his heart. Body cultivators are very strong, stronger than most people in the same realm, but the upper limit is very low.

It is already very rare for that young man to become a saint with his physical body. It is almost impossible to improve further in the future.

"Speaking of which, this kind of body cultivator is very suitable for cultivating my True Martial Peak's True Martial Swordplay. It's just a pity that the upper limit is too low. No matter how he cultivates in the future, he will only be able to stay in the Saint Realm forever. Not to mention the Saint King Realm, even breaking through the Saint Minor Celestial Realm to reach the Middle Celestial Realm is extremely渺茫… …"

The old man sighed secretly. His True Martial Peak lineage was declining, with very few people.

Because the True Martial Swordplay is very difficult to cultivate, the swordsmanship is very special, focusing on converting one's own true energy into force, and the power is poured into the sword, always ready to be unleashed. When fighting, one needs to rush in front of the enemy for close combat, wielding the heavy sword with a powerful and forceful strength.

This kind of cultivation method is relatively hard for many people, so naturally fewer people choose it.

Most importantly, it requires a certain bloodline talent. The stronger the physical growth talent, the greater the achievement. This blocks most people from entering.

Moreover, he doesn't like to accept disciples randomly. Their True Martial Peak lineage has always adhered to the principle of 'better to be short than shoddy'.

… …

At this time, inside the Spirit Food Hall, Jun Wuxie purchased a large amount of food, including braised beef, beggar's chicken, etc., as well as various fresh fruits containing a faint aura of life, and some Saint Spirit Mountain spring water, piled up in a huge heap.

The shop assistant inside neatly counted the items, her fingers quickly moving the abacus.

"Hello, a total of five Lower Grade Saint Spirit Pills."

Jun Wuxie was immediately stunned.

"Hello, young master, a total of five Lower Grade Saint Spirit Pills."

The shop assistant was a pretty girl. Seeing the heroic young man in front of her in a daze, she thought he hadn't heard her, so she repeated it again with a smile on her face.

The corners of Jun Wuxie's mouth twitched slightly.

He had overlooked it when buying. This is the Upper Realm, and the currency used is completely different from the Lower Realm.

Saint Spirit Pills?

This was the first time he had heard of it. Where would he get Saint Spirit Pills?

Looking at the smiling shop assistant, an embarrassed expression couldn't help but appear on Jun Wuxie's face.

The girl had been working in the Spirit Food Hall for almost a year. What kind of people hadn't she encountered?

She immediately understood and felt very speechless, even a little strange.

The young man in front of her, who looked outstanding and heroic, actually came to buy spirit food with empty pockets? And he had chosen a large pile.

"Young master, is this…?"

The girl's professional qualities were very good. Even though she already knew that the person in front of her was broke, she didn't show any contempt.

Just as Jun Wuxie was about to speak, those who had been envious, jealous, and hateful of him realized that their chance had come.

Immediately, a greasy-haired young man with two servant-like people walked up.

This young man was wearing yellow brocade clothes, waving a folding fan in his hand, with a very flamboyant posture, and said loudly: "This brother, you're not here to cause trouble, are you? You're penniless, your pockets are empty, but you've chosen such a large pile of things. This Spirit Food Hall doesn't have the habit of giving credit."

His voice was very loud, deliberately so, and everyone around heard it, all showing contemptuous expressions.

"You can't even take out five Lower Grade Saint Spirit Pills, and you dare to come to the Spirit Food Hall to buy things. Who gave you the courage, hahaha!"

The two servants behind the young man mocked loudly.

Jing Ya, who was standing at the door waiting, remembered at this moment that Jun Wuxie didn't have the common currency of the Upper Realm cultivation world, Saint Spirit Pills.

She secretly blamed herself for not thinking of this problem before, causing him to be ridiculed by those cats and dogs.

Her eyes instantly turned cold, and she strode towards Jun Wuxie.

At this time, everyone's eyes shifted to her.

The yellow-clothed youth saw her coming and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

He came to the checkout counter and threw out a bag with a slap, inside which a dozen cherry-sized Lower Grade Saint Spirit Pills glittered.

"Here, this young master will settle their bill." The yellow-clothed youth said, looking at Jing Ya who had walked to Jun Wuxie's side, and then looking at Jun Wuxie, he said: "Brother, you can't be so embarrassing in front of your female companion in the future. Today, seeing that your female companion is so beautiful, this young master is in a great mood, consider it charity. If you need anything else, feel free to choose, all paid for by this young master, hahaha!"

Jun Wuxie calmly looked at this greasy-faced young man. His purpose in doing this was purely to mock and humiliate him.

It was estimated that he saw that Jing Yi was too beautiful, and his heart was jealous and unbalanced. He had been holding back before, and now he finally had this opportunity.

"Do we need you to pay for our things?"

Jing Ya was already furious. Her face was frosty and her voice was very cold.

The yellow-clothed youth sneered, and said: "Then you should let him pay the bill, don't you know that your male companion is so poor that he's ringing? Who in the cultivation world can't take out five Lower Grade Saint Spirit Pills? Any collateral disciple of a family, or even the lowest servant of a sect can take them out. But look at this brother, he doesn't even seem as good as a servant."

"You… …"

Jing Ya was trembling with anger, wanting to slap this greasy, disgusting guy to death.

The corners of Jun Wuxie's mouth rose slightly, and he stretched out his hand in front of Jing Ya.

Jing Ya understood, took out a purse and handed it to him.

Jun Wuxie opened the bag, and the inside was shining brightly, a full bag, more than a hundred Lower Grade Saint Spirit Pills.

When the people around saw so many Lower Grade Saint Spirit Pills, surprise appeared in their eyes.

Saint Spirit Pills are the common currency of the cultivation world. The quantity of a hundred is not small. In this Flowing Cloud City, it is enough for a cultivator's expenses for half a year.

The smile on the yellow-clothed youth's face froze slightly, and then he laughed even louder, "Hahaha, so you're a gigolo, I say brother, you're really something, hahaha!"

"Being a gigolo is also a skill." Jun Wuxie took out five Lower Grade Saint Spirit Pills to pay the bill, and with a wave of his hand, he put the purchased spirit food into his storage ring. He lowered his head and looked down at the yellow-clothed youth, and said: "Not everyone has the ability to be a gigolo, especially when they look like you."

"You… …"

The yellow-clothed youth was furious. This hateful guy actually dared to slander his appearance. Except for his slightly ugly facial features, where was he not handsome?

"Haha, this is the first time I've heard someone say being a gigolo so fresh and refined, and with such confidence. How can your skin be so thick?"

Some male cultivators around were jealous to the point of madness.

Such a noble and beautiful woman would actually like such a poor man, and would rather support him.

This kid is still showing off in public, as if being a gigolo is something glorious.

Jun Wuxie smiled, opened the purse, and said: "Now, whoever beats this greasy-faced guy, I'll give him twenty Lower Grade Saint Spirit Pills. I'll count to three, those who want to earn Saint Spirit Pills, hurry up."

"One."

No one moved. The yellow-clothed youth had a sneer on his face, "Do you think everyone is as spineless as you?"

"That's right, what do you take us for?"

Some people around looked disdainful.

"Two."

Jun Wuxie slowly called out the numbers, "Fifty Saint Spirit Pills!"

After speaking, just as he counted to three, someone rushed out at this moment.

"Damn, beat him up!"

It was precisely those few people who were full of disdain and very aloof just now. At this time, they were like they had been injected with chicken blood, and the big fists of the casserole fell on the yellow-clothed youth's face and on his servants' bodies, knocking them out at once, their front teeth were knocked out, and their mouths were full of blood.

"Ah!! My front teeth, you bastards, I'm not done with you!"

The yellow-clothed youth covered his mouth, shouting with a heart-wrenching voice, and the two servants beside him were screaming even more miserably.

"You still dare to talk back, if we don't beat you until your mother doesn't recognize you today, how can we be worthy of the fifty Saint Spirit Pills from the gigolo大佬?"

The three guys, with faces full of excitement, pressed the yellow-clothed youth and his servants to the ground and beat them up, beating the yellow-clothed youth until he cried for his parents, and his face was swollen into a pig's head.

The rest of the onlookers were stunned.

Jing Ya was slightly dazed for a moment, and then she covered her mouth and chuckled, quietly putting the second purse into Jun Wuxie's hand.

"You spineless guys!"

The three stopped, and the yellow-clothed youth cried, with tears and snot mixed with blood flowing out, his words were slurred, and his front teeth were leaking air.

"Get lost!"

One of the three kicked the huddled yellow-clothed youth, and then ran to Jun Wuxie with a flattering expression, and said: "Hehe, gigolo大佬, what about the Saint Spirit Pills?"

"You won't be short of Saint Spirit Pills, you performed well." Jun Wuxie weighed the heavy purse in his hand, estimating that the number of Saint Spirit Pills inside was amazing. He took out one hundred and fifty and gave them to the three, and said earnestly: "Being a gigolo is also a skill, especially being a tough gigolo, which requires even more skill, are you envious?"

"Envious, envious! Brother is really a role model for us, a model for learning, awesome brother!"

The three guys had flattering expressions on their faces, giving Jun Wuxie a thumbs up, and they were really envious to the point of madness.

At the same time, they were also very happy and beaming.

They easily earned fifty Lower Grade Saint Spirit Pills, that's fifty!

They usually go deep into the mountains, looking for heavenly treasures everywhere, and it is difficult to earn this amount after working hard for several months. Today, wealth fell from the sky.

The surrounding crowd was so envious that their eyes were red, and they regretted it immensely. They knew they should have rushed up first, and they could have earned fifty Saint Spirit Pills.

"Let's go."

Jun Wuxie left the Spirit Food Hall in the complex gazes of the crowd, holding Jing Ya's hand.

Even after their backs disappeared, the crowd was still a little dazed.

"So it turns out that gigolos can also be tough, worthy of being大佬-level figures, a model for us, a model for us… …"

"I went, why did I forget to ask大佬 for advice just now? If I could get some guidance, maybe we could also learn the skill of being a tough gigolo, then the future days, tsk tsk… …"

Their faces were filled with longing as they began to imagine a future of living off wealthy women.

Just like that big shot, finding a woman with snow-white skin, immense wealth, and stunning beauty, not only having a beauty in his arms, but also having an inexhaustible supply of Saint Spirit Pills, and the beauty was so gentle and obedient to him.

"That kid is such a spendthrift."

The head of the True Martial Peak of Qingyun Cave Heaven witnessed the whole process inside the Spirit Food Restaurant on the street, the muscles on his face twitching slightly.

He just spent one hundred and fifty Saint Spirit Pills like that, a complete waste.

You must know that the core disciples of his Qingyun Cave Heaven only receive one hundred low-grade Saint Spirit Pills as monthly salary!

He followed the footprints of Jun Wuxie and Aunt Jing towards the outside of the city.
