Ch 294: Cheng Tian is chasing after me
In the bamboo forest outside the Dragon Palace Mountain Restaurant, Cheng Tian looked in the direction of the restaurant and muttered to himself, “Being a cultivator yet indulging in gluttony, this person is quite interesting! Fine, I’ll leave you some dignity and let you die a full ghost!”
Inside the restaurant, Meng Liunian leaned comfortably in his chair and let out a loud, satisfied burp. Recalling the agonizing past two months, he had been trapped in a dark alchemy furnace, as if he were in hell. This hearty meal was undoubtedly a great enjoyment, and a good opportunity to get rid of the bad luck accumulated on his body.
He closed his eyes slightly, and suddenly, his powerful Divine Sense spread out like a tide. In an instant, Cheng Tian’s figure, originally hidden in the bamboo forest, had nowhere to hide.
He curled his lips, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing an imperceptible sneer: “No wonder I was able to leave the Holy Temple so easily. Senior Brother Cheng Tian deserves the credit!”
After saying that, he calmly reached into his pocket, took out a silver ingot from his Storage Ring, and placed it on the table. Then, he raised his voice and shouted to the waiter who was busy not far away, “Waiter, come and settle the bill!”
Hearing the call, the waiter hurried to the table. When he saw what Meng Liunian was holding, a trace of embarrassment appeared on his face, and he said apologetically, “I’m really sorry, Immortal. The various ingredients provided by our restaurant are all rare demonic beasts and top-grade Spirit Materials taken from the depths of Dragon Palace Mountain, and are carefully cooked. Therefore, our restaurant only accepts Spirit Stones as payment, and this silver ingot of yours… I’m afraid it’s not very useful!”
When Meng Liunian heard what the other party said, his body shook slightly, and a look of astonishment appeared on his face. He released his Divine Sense and gently swept over the bodies of the people in front of him.
In an instant, a storm surged in his heart. To his surprise, even those ordinary mortals without Spiritual Roots had reached the Qi Refining Stage 5! You must know that in the Mortal Realm, this cultivation level can be considered a powerful expert.
Meng Liunian couldn’t help but sigh secretly: “As expected of the Holy World! The extremely rich Spiritual Energy here is like a sweet rain, nourishing every living being. Even ordinary mortals, growing up in such a uniquely blessed environment, can easily obtain cultivation.”
Realizing that his words and actions just now were a bit reckless, Meng Liunian quickly clasped his fists and saluted, sincerely saying, “I’m really sorry, I was too reckless and rude! Please forgive me.”
The waiter saw this and quickly responded with a smile, “Immortal, you are too polite! I think you should have just stepped into the mortal world, so you don’t know much about the situation in our Holy World. Here, the circulating currency is Spirit Stones. Moreover, all of us live under the protection of the Lingyan Holy Temple, so every year mortals like us also need to pay a certain amount of Spirit Stones to the Holy Temple as offerings!”
Meng Liunian nodded thoughtfully after hearing this. Then he asked, “I see, how many Spirit Stones are needed this time?”
The waiter still replied with a smile on his face, “Immortal, this time it will cost ten Low-Grade Spirit Stones in total!”
After receiving a definite answer, Meng Liunian then prepared to pay the Spirit Stones. When he probed his Divine Sense into his Storage Ring, he found it was empty โ not to mention twenty Low-Grade Spirit Stones, he couldn’t even find half a piece! At this moment, he couldn’t help but feel annoyed. No wonder Xin Daoyuan searched his Storage Ring, but left these silver taels. It turned out that these worldly silver taels were of no use here at all!
He looked embarrassed, “I wonder, is it possible…!”
Seeing this, the waiter’s face couldn’t help but turn cold, “Immortal, my Dragon Palace Mountain Restaurant is located within the territory of the Lingyan Holy Temple! You have to consider the consequences of eating a free meal!”
Meng Liunian argued, “It’s not a free meal, it’s just that I’m short of money now, I’ll give it to you another day!”
The waiter sneered, “Just because I respect you as an Immortal, doesn’t mean you have the right to be presumptuous!” He clapped his hands.
Two burly men at Qi Refining Completion came down from upstairs.
“Immortal, if you want to eat a free meal, you only need to defeat Zhan Niu and Kuang Lang. Of course, if you are defeated, you can’t blame anyone if you are beaten to death by the two of them!” The waiter sneered. In his eyes, Meng Liunian’s aura was peaceful, and he was young, so he knew at a glance that his cultivation was not high! Of course, the biggest reason was that he couldn’t even take out ten Low-Grade Spirit Stones, so how high could this person’s cultivation be!
Meng Liunian glanced at them and smiled, “Then I’ll have to offend you!”
As soon as he said that, Meng Liunian’s figure flashed, and he flew up like lightning, rushing towards the two of them with a fierce aura. In an instant, all the acupoints in his body seemed to be ignited, stirring up a surging power. Then, he threw a punch without reservation, like a thunderbolt, and slammed it at one of them.
That person didn’t have time to react at all, and took this amazing punch solidly. With a muffled bang, Zhan Niu flew out like a kite with a broken string. Blood spurted out of his mouth and nose, drawing a shocking red line in the air. His sternum was even more overwhelmed and collapsed directly, his entire body twisted and deformed, severely injured, and his life was hanging by a thread!
Kuang Lang, who was standing beside him, witnessed this scene and his eyes were about to burst, and he shouted at the top of his voice: “You dare to hurt my brother Tie Niu, today I will definitely take your life!” Before he finished speaking, he took a big step forward, and the ground trembled violently where he landed, and dust flew up. At the same time, his huge fist, wrapped in the whistling sound of the wind, slammed heavily on Meng Liunian’s body with the power of overwhelming mountains and seas.
What was unexpected was that Meng Liunian didn’t move at all in the face of such a fierce attack. That punch hit him as if he had been touched lightly, without causing him any impact.
Just then, there was a “crack” sound, and Kuang Lang let out a painful howl.
The rebounding force from Meng Liunian’s body instantly spread throughout his body. His finger bones were shattered under this huge force, and his arm was broken in response because it could not withstand this terrifying impact.
Meng Liunian looked at the embarrassed Kuang Lang in front of him, the corner of his mouth raised slightly, revealing a faint smile. Then, he casually raised his palm and waved it seemingly casually, but it contained endless power. With a crisp “pa” sound, Kuang Lang was fanned out like a cannonball, crashing straight into the wall in the distance, and then fell heavily to the ground, never to get up again.
At this time, the waiter standing aside was already pale with fright. He looked at everything that happened in front of him in horror, and hurriedly took out a Jade Slip from his arms, and crushed it without even thinking about it. Then, while quickly retreating backwards, he shouted sternly: “Don’t be arrogant, if you have the ability, just wait here! The Saints of our Lingyan Holy Temple will be here soon, and then they will definitely make you kneel down and beg for mercy, and regret it!”
Meng Liunian smiled disdainfully. With his current cultivation, as long as it wasn’t a Saint in the Golden Core Realm, he wouldn’t be afraid of anyone who came! Then, he confidently walked out of the restaurant.
The customers on the side were not surprised by this, they just glanced at it and continued to eat on their own.
“Fellow Daoist, causing trouble in the jurisdiction of the Lingyan Holy Temple is too disrespectful to my Lingyan Holy Temple!” Cheng Tian, wearing the yellow Daoist Robe of the Lingyan Holy Temple, descended from the sky.
Meng Liunian looked at him calmly and shouted, “Senior Brother Cheng Tian!”
Cheng Tian looked at him pretentiously and said in surprise, “Why is it Junior Brother Meng Liunian? How could you be so down and out? But just ten Low-Grade Spirit Stones, Senior Brother will help you, how can you hurt people?”
Meng Liunian smiled faintly, “Junior Brother’s Spirit Stones over the years are all with Master! I’m really sorry!”
“Oh, well, since that’s the case, I’ll help you this time! Waiter, I’ll pay for my Junior Brother’s meal!” As he said that, he threw ten Low-Grade Spirit Stones to the waiter.
“Junior Brother, you don’t have any Spirit Stones on you, why don’t you come back to the Holy Temple with me, Senior Brother will help you get the status of a direct disciple. At that time, the Holy Temple’s monthly Spirit Stones and Elixir will definitely guarantee you a life of food and clothing!”
Meng Liunian heard this and looked at him quietly. This guy wants to trick me back, and his real purpose is probably not simple! He smiled, “Thank you, Senior Brother! Today, I troubled Senior Brother to come here for the sake of my appetite. I’m really sorry, how dare I trouble Senior Brother to help me again! I will definitely return the Spirit Stones today in the future! I still have important matters to attend to, so I’ll take my leave first!”
As he said that, he took out a Flying Sword, flew up, and left on his sword.
Seeing this, the corner of Cheng Tian’s mouth raised slightly, wanting to run! Unfortunately, this meal of mine is not cheap! He waved his hand, and a Flying Sword lifted him up and chased after Meng Liunian.
After leaving the restaurant, Meng Liunian’s Divine Sense spread out with all his strength, and then the corner of his mouth raised slightly. Cheng Tian really chased after him, so he turned around and flew towards the valley not far away.
Cheng Tian smiled slightly, this guy actually turned around, it seems that he has discovered me! But so what, a mere Foundation Establishment Mid-Stage, can he still turn the world upside down? He flicked his sleeves and continued to chase towards the valley.
At this time, Meng Liunian stood quietly under the waterfall in the valley, the overwhelming sound of the water was deafening!
After a while, Cheng Tian appeared above the waterfall, and he said with a smile, “Junior Brother is so elegant, he actually has the leisure to come here to see the waterfall!”
Meng Liunian looked up at him, “Senior Brother chased after me all the way, you also have a good sense of elegance!”
