Talisman Emperor
Chapter 33 – Disciple Dragon Lake City
Du Qingxi's coming. She looked gentle and graceful in the black dress she was wearing that revealed her lines and curves. She stood there beautifully outside the door with black hair worn in a bun, and did not wear make-up, seemingly carrying a kind of ice cold and a sense of pure beauty.
"Trial Southern Barbaric Nether Domain?" Chen Xi was very confused as she looked at Du Qingxi who was outside the door. He grew up in Pine Mist City and naturally he knew everything about the Southern Barbaric Nether Domain trial.
Every three years, a strange space with an extremely unfavorable environment would appear in the Southern Barbaric Mountains.
The bald Qi was crowded within that space without plants; a kind of gray storm blew within it all year round, and whether it was day and night could not be seen within the space. Most importantly, the spirit energy from the heaven and earth Barbaric Domain Southern Domain had dried up, it was like a lifeless wasteland. This space was simply a hellish existence for cultivators who inhaled spirit energy from heaven and earth!
However, after a thousand years of research and searching, people had a new understanding of the Southern Barbaric Nether Domain.
This space indeed had no living beings, yet there was a type of ferocious and bloodthirsty ferocious beast with strength that roughly reached the perfection stage of the Innate Realm. In addition, there was a type of treasure called a monstrous pearl that was hidden within the body of a savage beast. Although its use is unknown, its value is staggering.
There was once a cultivator who took out a very bad pearl and headed to the capital of the Darchu Dynasty, Silken City, which was 5 million km away, and a very bad pearl was actually sold for 100 spirit crystals!
This incident instantly caused an uproar in Pine Mist City as the news spread back. So when the Southern Nether Barbaric Domain appeared once again, practically all the cultivators in Pine Mist City swarmed. The strange thing was that only Postnatal Realm cultivators and Innate Realm could safely enter, and other cultivators would be hindered by formless power the moment they entered the border of the Southern Nether Barbaric Nether Domain.
It was precisely because of this that the various institutions and clans within Pine Mist City jointly launched the Southern Barbaric Nether Domain trial activities with General's Estate. They encouraged the younger generation of Pine Mist City who had cultivation in the Innate Realm to participate in the trial.
On one hand they can acquire very bad pearls, and on the other hand cultivators could soften their survival abilities and combat skills living in the unfavorable environment of the Southern Barbaric Nether Domain.
Most importantly, many clans and institutions used the extremely poor amount of pearls obtained as the standard to test their disciples. Not only could those who obtained an extremely high amount of pearls be core disciples and enjoy resources that ordinary disciples could not hope for, they will also be able to acquire a large amount of wealth to help with their spending.
In addition, the General Plantation would send out invitations to the top three people who obtained the most dangerous pearls during the trial and invite them to enter the Darchu Soulguard branch in the southern region of Dragon Lake City!
Darchu Soulguard was an organization under the command of the Darchu Dynasty. In terms of how terrifying his strength was, there was rarely an organization that could compare him to the entire region of the Darchu Dynasty. Of course, the invitation was only an invitation, and if one wanted to join the Darchu Soulguard branch in Dragon Lake City, one would still have to pass through many extremely harsh exams. The difficulty of the test was not much different from the test to enter a very large sect.
"The qi switch was full of energy within the Southern Barbaric Nether Domain and its spirit energy was depleted. Moreover there were many ferocious beasts there, so staying within the Southern Barbaric Nether Domain would be accompanied by continuous battles. Other than carrying spirit stones and medicinal pills in large quantities, there was no other way for cultivators to survive inside. ”
Du Qingxi's words were concise and cold, like her ice-cold disposition was like snow, and it carried a hint of an indisputable trace as she slowly said, "I came looking for you to enter the Southern Barbaric Nether Domain to cook for me. I've prepared cooking utensils and ingredients for you. Now I'll take you to meet two people. ”
"Wait on! When do I agree to go to the Southern Barbaric Nether Domain? ”Chen Xi frowned as she asked. He did not like the feeling of being ruled.
Du Qingxi said, “You are an apprentice spirit chef hired by Clear Stream Restaurant, this is one of your duties. ”
"But why me?" Chen Xi continued to ask.
“You are old man Ma's student, and your cultivation is enough to enter the Southern Barbaric Nether Domain. Who else can fulfill this condition besides you? "
Du Qingxi seemed to be a little unhappy about being interrogated and her beautiful brows frowned. “Stop talking nonsense. I will not treat you unfairly after we return from the Southern Barbaric Nether Domain. ”
As he spoke, he turned around and walked over, seemingly unwilling to explain another word to Chen Xi.
“Forget it, I'll travel. I want to feel how the Southern Nether Barbaric Domain is like a long time ago as well. '' Chen Xi thought for a moment and followed him.
Du Qingxi was right, before she left Pine Mist City, she was still a member of Clear Stream Restaurant. Since he had received a reward from her, he naturally had to perform the corresponding task.
Most importantly, practically every day for these past few months, he had been training his culinary arts behind closed doors inside the Quiet Room, and the value of the materials he discarded was enough to be described as an astronomical figure. Whereas Du Qingxi had never once asked for payment from him, and this caused Chen Xi to feel a little embarrassed. This is probably what it feels like to be powerless against someone you accept and accept something from.
…
The backyard of Clear Stream Restaurant had always been a place that Du Qingxi cultivated behind closed doors, and the surroundings were calm and refined. Usually, other than a few close servants, there was rarely anyone who could set foot here.
When Du Qingxi brought Chen Xi to the courtyard, there were exactly two young men waiting there.
"He's Duanmu Ze from the Duanmu Clan of Dragon City. "Du Qingxi pointed to the white-clothed man as she introduced him briefly and straight to the point.
Chen Xi raised her eyes to stare and she could not help but be stunned.
However, Chen Xi did not care about this, because what he cared about was the clan behind Duanmu Ze.
Although Du Qingxi introduced him in a very casual way, how could Chen Xi never hear the names of the eight great sects, the three great institutions, he said, and the six great clans that were discussed excitedly everywhere in the city?
All of these powers have deep hidden resources and reserves, and their level of antiquity can be traced back to over 10,000 years ago. They were far from something the newly developing clan in Pine Mist City could compare to the Li Clan.
The Duanmu Clan was one of the six great clans, so Chen Xi naturally felt a little surprised when facing a Duanmu Clan disciple like Duanmu Ze. He was handsome and energetic and had a good birth, this person was probably very famous in Dragon Lake City, right?
"Qingxi, doesn't this person you found seem a little unreliable?" Duanmu Ze raised his eyes and glanced at Chen Xi, and his brows could not help but slightly frown as he spoke in a flat tone that carried a slight oppressive tone with it. He really could not understand why Du Qingxi would find a spirit chef apprentice to join their ranks.
In the eyes of Duanmu Ze who was born in a large clan that was rich and influential, even though the culinary arts of spirit chefs were great, chefs were ultimately only chefs. Their status was basically still of the same class as a lowly servant, how could Chen Xi get along with herself and the others?
It was precisely because of this that even though Du Qingxi had instructed him on the matter earlier, and he agreed not to bother about it. But when he actually saw Chen Xi, Duanmu Ze still felt extremely displeased in his heart, as if Chen Xi's appearance carried a disgrace to his status.
A few words alone caused Chen Xi's impression of Duanmu Ze to be extremely terrifying, and he did not care to greet and chat with Duanmu Ze. Instead, he had instead hoped Du Qingxi would say that she was also unreliable. This way, he could just walk away and he did not need to stay with this proud man as a peacock.
But unfortunately, Du Qingxi did not act this way, and she did not even pay attention to Duanmu Ze. Instead, his gaze moved and he pointed to the young man before proceeding to introduce. "Song Lin, from the Song Clan in Dragon Lake City. ”
Song Lin actually had a rather handsome appearance, but she was clearly a very lazy person. He had swollen hair and was dressed in a slob, and his eyes narrowed slightly. His entire body seemed as if it was falling apart as he lazily leaned against the large tree in the courtyard with a sleepy look.
Song Lin weakly waved her hand towards Chen Xi when she heard Du Qingxi introduce her, then muttered, "Oh, I've heard Qingxi talk about you, but wait for me to finish sleeping, please, then we can properly chat ..." As he spoke, his head kept drooping and he once again entered dreamland.
As expected, this clan behind Song Lin was one of the six great clans.
As he thought about this, Chen Xi's heart jolted when he suddenly realized something, there was also the Du Clan among the six great clans, too, and Du Qingxi won't be a disciple of the Du Clan either, right?
There is a very high probability for this.
The birds of the feathers gathered together. Seeing Du Qingxi's attitude when facing Duanmu Ze and Song Lin, they were obviously people of the same kind, but only their characters were different.
This was only a very ordinary Southern Barbaric Nether Domain trial, yet it attracted the participation of three disciples from the great clan of Dragon Lake City. Could there be a secret hidden within?
Chen Xi wondered in her heart and she suddenly felt that her journey to the Southern Barbaric Nether Domain this time around did not seem to be as simple as she had imagined.
"Qingxi, you really want to take her?"
Duanmu Ze could not help the anger in his heart when he saw Du Qingxi ignoring him, but his face still had a generous appearance as he frowned and said, "I heard the ferocious beasts roaming freely in the Southern Barbaric mountains, and it was full of danger. If by chance we encounter an unexpected event, then wouldn't it endanger his life? ”
Chen Xi was silent, but she could not hold her breath in her heart. If you want to expel me, then speak directly. Why should you find such a forced and ludicrous excuse? The disciples of this great clan were truly very hypocritical.
"Are you done?" Du Qingxi said with an expressionless face.
Duanmu Ze's expression froze, then he had a serious expression as he said, “Qingxi, I'm thinking about it. ”
"If it's over, let's go. "Du Qingxi was still completely indifferent as she turned around and left.
Chen Xi followed him when she saw this, as she was unwilling to stay together with Duanmu Ze. Who knew what kind of unpleasant words this person would say in his anger?
The light smile hanging at the corner of Duanmu Ze's mouth instantly vanished when he saw the two of them leaving the courtyard in quick succession, and his expression became unusually unsightly.
"Oh, let's go too. '' Song Lin rubbed her sleepy eyes as she yawned weakly.
I'm not gonna let that kid just walk away. Duanmu Ze's face sank and forced out a line of words from the crack in his teeth. "Let me see if Du Qingxi will turn against me for the sake of a lowly servant!"
