Food Fairy Lord

Chapter 427 Repairing My Spear
Everything that needed to be checked had been checked. Thanks to Lord Sui's [Mirroring to Painting], the two immortal power projections were not completely destroyed and were still separated from the scattered bones. The Immortal Platform collected them, and there was only Sima's dead body left here.

"There's nothing left. Let's bury the body." Xiao Changgong sighed softly.

"Just feed it to the fish." Sui Zaihua waved his hand, and the broken body fell into the river.

There was nothing else to do around him, so he turned and walked outside. The moonlit night by the river was clean and ethereal.

"It would be fine if you took the risk yourself, but this man actually ended up here." Xiao Changgong took off his gloves, shook his head and laughed, "We are so scared that we are sweating."

"Life and death are determined by fate. We must do what we should do." Sui Zaihua smiled and tilted his head, "No need to send me off. Go ahead and do your own thing."

"It's already past midnight, and you still have to inspect the swords tomorrow morning. Goodbye."

"Don't pass."

The autumn wind blew on the face, and the last all-out attempt of Xianren Terrace came to an end. They took that tiny and harsh possibility so seriously, but in the end it was proved to be just a delusion.

But there was not much disappointment on their faces. They chatted in a relaxed manner. The destruction of Huansi Tower was already an amazing enough result. A few days ago, they completed the simultaneous attack on twenty-four states. Everyone tried their best and achieved enough merits.

Closing the case means the finalization of awards and honors. At this time, everyone is chatting and laughing together. Of course, they still have to go to the Demon Prison first and complete the final work carefully.

----

".Oh." Li Piaoqing pursed her lips.

She was still smiling, but there was some uneasy hesitation beneath her expression, as if she didn't know whether to continue asking.

The boy turned the bead over and showed it to her - it was completely gray and cracked.

"Here, you want to see it. You can't ask me to pay for it."

He smiled, his expression relaxed and peaceful. Li Piaoqing secretly paid attention to this face. Until she admitted somewhat disappointedly that if he was lying to her, she actually couldn't tell at all.

"I won't ask you to pay, just tell me what you saw." Li Piaoqing took the beads and said with a smile, "Otherwise, you will break the beads and you will see the story. Why did I come all the way here?"

"Tell me, tell me." Pei Ye responded, but he stood up first. "I'd better go and call Dr. Qu to come over. He can tell me while he treats your injuries. Is that okay?"

".Ah, nothing actually."

The boy smiled and lowered his eyes, avoiding her left arm, then turned and left the room.

Qu Xin was indeed awake, fiddling with her equipment-filled quiet room. Pei Ye knocked on the door and came in. The girl turned around and was slightly surprised: "So soon?"

"Can you help my friend check her injuries?" Pei Ye asked, "And I think she's been a little too tired these past few days. Do you have any kind of needle that can calm her nerves and help her sleep?"

Three layers of gauze curtains were drawn on the couch. The girl was bent over, having drunk a bowl of medicine earlier. The bandage around her waist had been untied and put aside by Qu Xin.

".Qu Zhu wanted the Heart Amber, so he went to ask for help from Governor Yu. Governor Yu received the help and went to Xiangzhou to buy it with a large sum of money. Inside this is the [See Body] that Qu Zhu cast, and he happily took it to share with Governor Yu." The smoke from the stove slowly curled up, Pei Ye sat at the head of the bed, and spoke softly inside, "--How is her injury?"

"It's very deep and wide. It's not a cut from a sword, but from something like a chain. The flesh is rotten."

Li Piaoqing laid his head on the pillow, with the small green bag placed beside the pillow along with his clothes, and hummed softly, "Well, don't worry about it. Then, then what?"

"Well, I didn't care. Then they sat together to eat. Governor Yu cooked the meal himself, stewing fish and porridge."

"The other party might be from Xuanmen." Qu Xin waved his hand and dropped seven silver needles.

"Xuanmen?"

"No, there is no Xuanmen." Li Piaoqing refuted in a daze, "Pei Ye, there is no Xuanmen."

".Well, okay." Pei Ye said softly, "Then they will talk about how to make [Seeing Body] and what magical functions it has."

"Hmm," Li Piaoqing responded softly. Even breathing could be heard from behind the curtain. After a while, he suddenly said vaguely, "What about the others?"

"What else?"

"Did you mention any other magical instruments?"

"No." Pei Ye said softly, "Doctor Qu will help you heal your wounds, you can go to sleep."

"Well, now? I don't think so," the girl said softly, and several cold needles fell on her back.

"Does your arm still hurt?"

".No pain."

"Ah."

"It doesn't hurt. My arm doesn't hurt."

Pei Ye gently patted her hand on the bed and said nothing more. After a moment, the breathing behind the curtain completely stabilized.

"Taishan Yaolu also has secret techniques for regenerating severed limbs, but they are generally provided to the Xuanmen." Qu Xin said, "Because the spirit body is a platform for performance. For the Maishu realm, this secret technique is too harsh and dangerous, and it is not recommended to be used forcibly."

"Either wait until you are promoted to Xuanmen, or go the way of Yangyi Building." She continued, "Prosthetic limbs are something they are very mature in. The most basic part is not even a magic weapon, but it is enough for daily activities - but her wound is too new and is still bleeding. She needs to heal for at least another half a month."

"Yes." Pei Ye walked around the bedside, reached in with a hand, and gently took away the bruise on the pillow of the sleeping girl. "I'll trouble you to take care of her for a few days. When she wakes up, you can talk to her about the broken arm - she is much richer than me."

"it is good."

Pei Ye lowered his head and opened the small package, carefully checking it, and the first thing he found was a feather-tied book. Pei Ye paused for a moment, and then took out a well-kept letter from the deepest layer.

The sky was getting dark, and it was almost the end of the long night. The surroundings were still quiet as in the middle of the night, and the staircase was extremely dark.

Pei Ye dressed neatly, carrying the Jade Tiger and slowly walked down the medical building. At this moment, all the patients and doctors were asleep, and it seemed as if he was the only one in the whole building.

Pei Ye walked down the stairs in silence until he reached the door of the first floor, and suddenly stopped.

A faint light from the sky shone through the thin crack in the door. In the dim light of the early morning, a tall and straight figure stood quietly beside the door.

He spoke in a gentle voice: "Mr. Pei, where do you want to go so late at night?"

Pei Ye looked over and saw the old man in a cloak, like a statue in the shadows - Gao Feigong.

Then Pei Ye remembered that he had been following her secretly since she entered the city.

Pei Ye was silent for a moment. He knew that outside the door were four soldiers who were dedicated to their duties. Outside, two carriages, one Hua and one Jian, for him to travel were parked in the yard.

"Hello, Commander Gao. I'm going to the Immortal Terrace."

"Oh, I will prepare the carriage for you, sir."

"No need, I'll just walk by myself."

"Then I will follow you, sir."

"That's not necessary."

"."

Pei Ye held the black cat and looked at the general quietly: "Unless the commander insists."

Gao Feigong paused for a moment and said, "Of course, it's up to you, sir."

"Thank you."

Pei Ye pushed open the door, and the cold air from the empty street hit him in the face.

Pei Ye walked along the street without saying a word. He held the sword and paced as he looked at the stars in the sky. Gradually, the stars disappeared, the sky became brighter, and the street began to become populated.

Today is the day when the list will be revised. The top 22 sword talents will be re-ranked, and the legendary young hero will also appear on the Jade Sword Stage. The whole city has woken up earlier than usual.

Along the way, Pei Ye saw many people heading to the Jade Sword Stage in groups. Most of them were from the martial arts world or from unfamiliar sects with unfamiliar clothing. He didn't recognize many of them at all. He couldn't help but wonder where they came from and what kind of swords they had around their waists. It would be a happy thing if he could get to know them and learn from them.

But we have arrived at the Immortal Terrace.

He arrived at the door and asked someone to report. When he mentioned the word "Pei Ye", the guard looked at him in surprise at first. After a moment, a clerk came out quickly.

"Mr. Pei." The man hurriedly bowed and ushered him in. "I'm grateful to you for visiting me this morning. What's your business?"

Pei Ye retracted his gaze and bowed: "Excuse me, I have something I want to ask Xiao Changgong and Xiao Hejian, I wonder if he is here?"

"Ah, Xiao Hejian went out of the city last night. I don't know if he has returned yet. I will ask someone right away. Please wait a moment."

"excuse me."

Pei Ye sat down in the corner of the lobby on the first floor. People were still walking in and out quickly, but not as fast as in Kongtong.

The clerk came back and started to make tea. Pei Ye retracted his gaze and suddenly said, "I heard that several adults tried to ambush and kill Qu Zhu last night. I wonder if they got any results?"

"."

The clerk paused.

He looked at the young man who was on the rise with a little uneasiness. Apparently, this name had been widely spread in Shaolong Prefecture in the past two days, and Xianrentai had already known about the grudge between him and Qu Zhu.

"I was not involved in this matter last night. However, the task of sorting out the case files was issued this morning. It seems that Qu Zhu did not show up in the end."

"Oh, okay." However, the young man just nodded and bowed politely, "Excuse me."

"Mr. Pei, you're welcome."

The two of them sat down at the table. Pei Ye looked at the people coming and going, sipping his tea. After a while, a man hurried over and said, "Sir Qi, Inspector Xiao He hasn't come back yet."

"Ah." The clerk bowed to Pei Ye to apologize, "Mr. Pei, if you have anything to say, please tell us. Why don't we take care of it for you first?"

"Ah, I--" Pei Ye paused, and was about to speak when his eyes suddenly stopped.

The solemn man who was coming in from the door also saw him and walked towards him.

The clerk hastily bowed and greeted the man who came with a sword on one arm. It was Zhang Xiaozhu, the master of Shaolongtai.

"Master Zhang."

"Young Master Pei." Zhang Xiaozhu was slightly surprised to see this powerful man standing in front of the table. "Is there something urgent?" In his impression, the young man was not an impatient person. The results of last night would have been sent to Taishan Medicine House at dawn, so there was no need for him to come here specially.

"Nothing, Master Zhang." The young man clasped his fists and bowed, then smiled apologetically, "I was originally planning to look for Xiao Hejian, but now I have to trouble you - I heard that a lot of soul-stealing beads were seized a few days ago, I wonder if I can go and see them?"

"Oh, that's nothing. I'll just write you a warrant."

The clerk next to him immediately handed over pen and ink. Zhang Xiaozhu pulled out a chair and sat down, then slowly poured himself a cup of tea.

He smiled slightly and said, "If Young Master Pei had waited another three hours to kill Yan Jian, he wouldn't have needed this warrant."

"."

"Sui said that you should not be assigned any work after you are sealed, so as not to restrict your freedom. This is really a distortion of the truth." Zhang Xiaozhu picked up the pen and ink, "It is clear that the government office has many rules, and most people in the Immortal Terrace join the sects and are promoted based on their merits. It has always been the most fair and free place."

Pei Ye smiled and bowed: "Thank you for your help, sir."

"But to be fair, with Lord Sui leading the way, the future is indeed brighter than in Taichung." Zhang Xiaozhu handed him the order and smiled, "At least the Immortal Terrace can't let you be listed first in the Sword Book."

Pei Ye smiled and said, "I am also very nervous. I don't know what masters will be on the Jade Sword Stage today. I am worried that I will show my weakness."

"The people on the Jade Sword Stage today are divided into four groups: 17 people who will be compiling the list, 72 registered sword masters, more than 30 officials from various departments watching the ceremony, and more than 100 guests from various sects. But you have nothing to worry about, since Lord Sui is here anyway." Zhang Xiaozhu smiled as he drank his tea, "For him, controlling such a sword meeting is really not worth mentioning."

"Yes, Lord Sui is indeed very powerful."

"I met him fourteen years ago, and to this day, I still regard him as my senior." Zhang Xiaozhu said softly, "If you have the opportunity to work with Lord Sui, you will feel it - he is as calm as a mountain and sea, and he knows everything. As long as he stands with you, no matter in the officialdom or the underworld, it seems that there is nothing worth panicking about in the world."

"So at this time, he is above everyone else, respected by everyone in Shaolong, and in a high position of power. But I think this position of governor is just the beginning of his advancement." He continued with a smile, "So, Young Master Pei is really lucky."

Pei Ye lowered his head and smiled, saying softly: "Thank you for your good words."

Zhang Xiaozhu was silent for a moment: "There are many things to see ahead, Young Master Pei."

"."

"I share your regrets." The host raised his glass lightly and sat next to the young man, watching the people coming and going in the hall with him. "We guessed wrong. Qu Zhu is not a fire slave and he has already got the Xiting Heart. When we set the trap, he may have left Shaolong."

The host drank it all in one gulp, then picked up the pot and poured it out.

Pei Ye shook his head: "There is nothing we can do, Master Zhang."

"Yes, we said at the time that it was very harsh. So, I don't know why you want to come and see the Soul-Grabbing Orb now. In another quarter of an hour, the meeting to revise the book will begin." The man looked at him and said softly, his expression serious, "Young man, if you have anything to say, you can tell me."

"Nothing, Master Zhang." Pei Ye smiled and gently stroked the scabbard in his hand, "I just want to see the swords in these beads."

He was silent for a moment, then pursed his lips again: "It's just a pity that Xiao Hejian said at that time that he believed that Wu Hejian's life would definitely be exchanged for something. Now it seems that he still lost to Qu Zhu."

The autumn air is cool and the Jade Sword Stage is already packed with people.

Each pavilion is dominated by its own sect and dignitaries; the smaller ones also have their own territory, while the larger number of wanderers, scholars, and countless common people are still mixed together, and the sounds of their conversations blend into unclear waves.

The opening of the meeting to revise the register yesterday has brought the number of people to a new level. Countless people from the martial arts world and common people have come to watch the competition between those talented people, but that is still the negotiation stage after all.

Today was the real solemn "viewing ceremony". This was the day when the "Shaolong Sword Dao Golden Book" was completed. The government office invited nearly two hundred celebrities to the Jade Sword Stage, including famous scholars and important officials, elders from various rivers and lakes, including the seventy-two swordsmen from the sect that had been included in the book - the Guanhu Sword Sect where Cai Wuzhi came from had one old man and two young men come today, with neat clothes and boots, clean heads and facials, and they were already sitting in the corner of the seats.

In front of them were some big sects, those with sword masters on the list, needless to say, but those without sword masters on the list, or even those not in Shaolong, also had a seat to watch the ceremony, such as Kongtong, Taishan Yaolu, Yangyi Tower, etc. On the other side were many Qingzi sitting in prominent seats, solemnly representing the court's absolute recognition of this list.

If yesterday was just a pure competition between swordsmen, today the atmosphere suddenly became solemn and serious.

Keeping the first twenty-two swordsmen today allows you to see the completion of the sword manual, which is exciting enough but not lengthy. Another more important reason is that the resources allocated to the first twenty-two swordsmen will have a qualitative leap - these twenty-two people can all be selected to enter the sword training academy.

Of course, the talent of everyone in it is enough to enter the Daoqi Society, but you are from another sect. Why would the Thirty-Three Sword Sects allow you to join and practice?

So this opportunity is almost a fantasy.

This is of course an unimaginable effort on the part of the Tang Dynasty. I don't know how the imperial court reached an agreement with the Thirty-Three Sword Sects. At least here, Shaolong Jiancai saw that since you have come to be included in the Golden Book of Sword Dao revised by the imperial court, the Tang Dynasty Dao Qi Society will open its doors to you.

For top kendo talents like Yu Xiang, Cui, and Su, this is a truly irresistible temptation.

No matter how proud the inheritance of Luoying Mountain is, they all dream of being able to step onto the platform of the Thirty-Three Sword Gates, to exchange ideas and study sword manuals with the true disciples of Tianshan, Bailu Palace, Longjun Dongting, and even Yunlang Mountain.

At this time, everyone was sitting quietly, with twenty-one swordsmen standing in a row. In front of them was the empty sword field, and everyone present could see them clearly.

Ren Zixin sat down with her father out of curiosity. She was also dressed neatly and elegantly as never before, but she subconsciously kept a low profile and looked at the swordsman's seat for a long time before she raised her hand excitedly and pointed, whispering, "Ah, where is Senior Brother Wenyuan!"

The man nodded: "It is a pleasant surprise that Xiao Zhu can enter the top two. Let's just watch quietly today."

"Yeah." Ren Zixin nodded repeatedly, and looked at those famous names curiously - she had heard of them thousands of miles away as early as when she was in Longxi, and now was the first time she saw them so close.

She recognized them one by one in her mind: Nan Guannu, Cui Zijie, Xiang Zongyuan. Oh, that was Su Xing, but he seemed to be about the same age as her.
Suddenly, a young girl's voice came from the side: "Su Xingke can certainly go up further."

Ren Zixin was startled and turned around. It was the girl he had seen downstairs in the teahouse. She was talking to a somewhat silent boy next to her. Ren Zixin recognized her. This was the one who ran errands back and forth as soon as he sat down.

"But Xiang Zongyuan also appeared out of nowhere six years ago." He whispered, "In these six years."

"What he has achieved in the past six years may not necessarily match the momentum he had back then."

".That's right."

The two walked to the front while talking, until they sat down next to a man in the second row.

Ren Zixin looked at it in amazement, that turned out to be the location of Kongtong.

But at this moment, the whole audience suddenly fell silent.

Everyone looked forward, and then stood up one after another. Ren Zixin was pulled by his father, and then he bowed in that direction with everyone around him in confusion.

When he stood up, he saw the tall figure in front of the hall through the gap and subconsciously held his breath.

He was dressed in a solemn black robe, with a white jade pendant on his waist and his grey hair tied simply and neatly behind his head. The three sides of the Jade Sword Pavilion were filled with people, and he was the only one standing in front of the hall. However, he did not look lonely at all, but instead exuded a solemn majesty like the mountains and seas to the people below.

Ren Zixin only took a glance and didn't dare to look again, thinking that this might be the venerable man who supported the Sword Selection Meeting, the current Governor of Shaolong.

The old man looked quietly at the people below and nodded slightly: "Thank you all for your kindness today. Please take a seat. I hope that after many years, you will still remember our great event today."

He sat down, and after everyone sat down one by one, he turned his head and looked at the meeting for the revision of the list: "Yesterday we had 22 people, please continue, Mr. Chen."

Ren Zixin lowered his head and sat down, placing his hands on his knees, subconsciously sitting more straight.

The backs of the two Kongtong men in front of her came into view again. She was suddenly startled and looked back as if she remembered something, but she didn't see the young man.

"There are forty-four in total." In the quiet room deep in the Immortal Terrace, Zhang Xiaozhu pointed to the half-iron and half-amber beads on the wall. "It was said before that it was very difficult to find only a few, and many were destroyed by the ghosts, but we found a complete set in Jianfu Mountain."

"We asked a sorcerer with high spiritual cultivation to look at them. I also looked at two of them myself. They contained old images of the victims using swords." Zhang Xiaozhu continued, "There are more and less, some are strong and some are weak, but every time I read them, I feel sad, and they can't support more than a few readings."

Pei Ye nodded: "I want to stay here for a while, Master Zhang."

"Okay." The man nodded slightly. "These things that have been 'stored and retrieved' are no longer valuable. But I have to remind you again, be careful not to look inside."

Pei Ye nodded: "Thank you."

Zhang Xiaozhu closed the door and walked out, moving away.

Pei Ye stood quietly, looking at the wall of small beads of varying ages.

The quiet room is located in a very secluded place, with a heavy wooden door and only a small tall window on the wall.

The morning sun shines in, the dust ripples slightly, and the quiet air seems to be filled with countless souls. The young man pursed his lips for a long time, then reached out and picked one.

This one looks very old, about six or seven years old. The white amber has changed slightly in color, but it is still well preserved.

Pei Ye knew why Xianrentai found such a set of beads in Jianfu Mountain, because no matter how much was lost outside, those that they successfully sent back were the ones that were incorporated into the [Mirror Dragon] and [Heart Mirror].

But of course they passed through another pair of eyes first.

Pei Ye held it in front of his eyes and looked deeply into it.

"Yuquan Mountain, [Haiyue Daichao] Qiu Canglu, 23 years old, is temporarily listed as 22nd in the Sword Book. The revision meeting decided: Maybe it's OK." The white-bearded old man who was the first in the revision meeting was Chen Lihuai, the most experienced swordsman in Shaolong Sword Academy. He was born in Tianshan when he was young and has been in Shaolong Sword Academy for nearly 30 years since its establishment. "The revision meeting's opinion: Qiu Canglu's sword realm is higher than that of 19th and 5th swordsman Qu Ying, but is obviously lower than that of 16th and 16th, Zhigu Song Zhishu. He is also older, so he should be ranked after 20th. Also, 23rd and 24th Bai Weiyu, 24th and Wen Jiao, and 25th and Wang Jinhong are of similar age, but their sword realm is lower than that of Qu Ying, so there is no reason for them to be better than him. Therefore, he got the 22nd place."

"Now we are going to open the discussion. Please raise any doubts you may have."

It was quiet.

Ren Zixin did not go up to the Jade Sword Stage yesterday, but looking at the figures flying down to the sword field, she knew that the atmosphere yesterday must not have been so solemn and serious. However, it was true that both the figure in the hall and Qingzi who was looking down or talking opposite her gave her great pressure, and she did not dare to ask for her father's opinion for a while.

Three breaths later, a figure stood up from the front row of swordsmen. It was Cui Zijie.

He clasped his fists and bowed to the hall first, then bowed to the Book Review Committee and the Qingzi Seat. Finally, he lowered his sleeves and said, "I'll tell you all, Senior Brother Qiu only started learning swordsmanship at the age of fourteen. He has only been practicing swordsmanship for a short time. In addition, I personally think that the theory of 'sword realm' is inaccurate."

"What is wrong with Cui Zhen's message?"

Qiu Canglu stood up at this time, clasped his fists and said loudly: "My Lords, Canglu would like to meet with Young Master Sixteen, Song Zhishu!"

Many people in the hall were slightly startled, and Ren Zixin immediately covered his mouth - this was a challenge to surpass six people!

The secluded room was so quiet that it seemed like two different worlds from the Jade Sword Arena.

About half a quarter of an hour later, the young man who had been staring at the bead let out a sigh of relief and moved the bead away from his eyes.

Then he took out a notebook and began to list carefully from top to bottom in clumsy handwriting.

[First]

1. Yunyang Tower "Sword Covering the Moon"

II. Unknown A1
3. Unknown · A2

4. Suspected to be the Five Swords Blessed Land, A-3

five,.
After a long line of coins had formed, Pei Ye put the coin back in its place and picked up the second one.

His lips were slightly pursed, showing that he was fully committed to doing something that was difficult for him.
