C867 Cultivators Had Gathered Here(part I)
"Young Master Chu has arrived!"
"He is indeed heroic and outstanding!"
"I didn't expect that Master Chu would also be here to participate in the secret realm!!"
Along the way, Su Ming and his group were treated with the utmost respect. However, this courtesy was not because of respect, but more because of the cultivators' fear of the Chu Family!
Facing the compliments of the cultivators, Chu Bicheng obviously enjoyed them very much. A self-satisfied smile unconsciously appeared on his face. Similarly, it was also because of his family halo that the cultivators consciously gave up the best seat for him.
When Su Ming saw this, he couldn't help but feel a little envious and moved. With the glory of a big family, it was indeed much better than being a rogue cultivator.
Chu Bicheng, who had been in a bad mood, suddenly felt enlightened by the compliments of the crowd. His eyes once again shot a cold glance at Su Ming.
Su Ming could tell that Chu Bicheng was provoking him!
"After walking for such a long time, I'm a little hungry!" Liu Yingying said slowly, "All of you should rest up a bit. After entering the secret realm, you won't have such a leisurely time anymore!"
After she finished speaking, Liu Yingying and the others sat down cross-legged. They took out jade bottles from their storage bags and poured out a black colored pellet to consume!
This was not a pill in the strictest sense. Instead, it was an item used to fill one's stomach. It was called Soldier's Grain Pill!
Before a cultivator reached Foundation Establishment, they would often carry this item with them to fill their stomach during their journey. Each pill was equivalent to a meal! It was extremely convenient to carry around!
Of course, the drawback was also very obvious; the taste was really not good!
Su Ming glanced at them, but unlike the others, he did not take out a small cauldron from his storage bag!
There was also a certain amount of Soldier's Food Pills stored in his storage bag, but they were for emergency use!
Su Ming was a free and easy person, and when he thought of how he would completely abstain from food after reaching the Foundation Establishment stage, and how he would still have a craving for food, he would not feel wronged!
Su Ming slapped his storage bag, and a processed chicken flew into the cauldron!
At the same time, there were also a few spiritual herbs that were filled with spiritual energy!
At this moment, Su Ming's actions attracted the attention of Liu Yingying and the others!
This kid was planning to start a fire here to cook!
Everyone was slightly taken aback, especially Liu Yingying. She had never expected Su Ming to have such a skill.
In the cultivation world, there was indeed a special existence called the Spirit Chef! The specialty of their research was to make food out of all kinds of spirit herbs and spirit items!
The Soldier's Food Pill was made by these people!
However, this was a profession that those with very poor aptitude could barely manage to do breathing exercises and would never be able to break through the first or second stage of Qi Cultivating Stage in their entire lives!
After all, after a cultivator reached the Foundation Establishment Stage, he or she would completely abstain from food. A spirit chef could be said to be completely useless!
Although the food made by the spirit chef was said to have spiritual qi, compared to medicinal pills, the difference was like night and day!
Therefore, only those who had no chance of making any progress in their cultivation would choose to enter this path and join some big families. They would be efficient for the big families and would be protected by them!
The sneer on Chu Bi Cheng's face grew even wider. He didn't have the slightest intention of finding trouble with Su Ming!
Su Ming's presence in public would only cause criticism. After all, the status of a spirit chef was there and it would be despised by everyone. This was also what Chu Bicheng was happy to see.
Su Ming, on the other hand, ignored the disdainful gazes that came from the surroundings. His divine sense remained normal.
The difficulty with a spirit chef was in the control of ingredients and flames, which was a piece of cake for Su Ming, who was an alchemist.
Not long after, the pot of fragrant chicken soup was removed!
No matter how much the surrounding cultivators despised Su Ming, they still couldn't help but swallow their saliva the moment the soup was out of the pot!
Because of the spatial crack, the air-transportation spiritual artifacts were not stable within several hundred miles. They were all cultivators of the Qi Cultivating Stage, and they had travelled through mountains and rivers to reach this place. Some of them had already eaten several meals of soldiers' rations. Now that a pot of fragrant chicken soup was right in front of them, how could they not salivate?
"As expected of the young master of a noble family. Even when he travels, he is different from us; he even has a spirit chef!"
"I feel that it's a bit strange. Look at Young Master Chu, isn't he consuming military rations there?"
"Yeah! However, that brat came with young master Chu. Other than young master Chu, who else would have the style to be equipped with a spirit chef?"
...""
Right at this moment, there was suddenly another commotion in the crowd, and cries of surprise sounded out again!
Liu Yingying frowned. When she saw who it was, she murmured, "She is here too! With her status, she is here in this secret realm too!"
"Who is she?"
Su Ming took a glance at the person who had just arrived. It was a young girl with an incomparably beautiful face. Her beautiful hair was scattered down, and it was actually a bewitching wine-red color. Her figure was graceful and graceful, and in terms of appearance, she was even better than Liu Yingying who was beside him!
"In the Myriad Tribulations Sword Sect, senior Wu Guzi's direct disciple, Jiang Ruxue!" Wu Junyi said calmly: "It is said that the most powerful Qi Cultivator in the north has the ability to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage a long time ago. However, because he had no other choice, he has not been able to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage yet. With his full strength, he can even fight against a middle stage Foundation Establishment cultivator!"
When he heard this, Su Ming could not help but suck in a breath of cold air. He looked at Jiang Ruxue with a gaze filled with fear!
Perhaps the other cultivators didn't know what it meant to be able to fight with a Foundation Establishment cultivator, but Su Ming knew it very well in his heart!
He had fought with Liu Zhengfang before, and he knew very well that there was a huge gap between a Qi Cultivator and a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, and that was when Su Ming had the divine weapon, the Immortal Slaying Sword!
And this Jiang Ruxue was actually able to fight head on with a Foundation Establishment middle stage cultivator!
It was truly terrifying!
"Young Master Chu, didn't you always say that you wanted to get to know Miss Jiang from the Ten Thousand Tribulations Sword Sect? Why don't you greet her now that she's right in front of you?" Wu Junyi said with a smile.
Chu Bicheng, who had always been arrogant, lowered his voice and said, "Don't talk nonsense, when have I ever said such nonsense!"
Wu Junyi smiled faintly, but he did not say anything else!
At this moment, the sound of discussion in the crowd was getting louder and louder!
"Miss Jiang of the Sword Sect of Ten Thousand Swords, why did she also come here to get mixed up in this mess!?"
"Yeah, with her strength, she doesn't need to enter the secret realm anymore!"
"How could there not be a need? This secret realm is rumored to be the Immortal Remains. With Miss Jiang's strength, she might have made some new discoveries!"
"Alas, don't think too much about it. It is said that it is an immortal's residence. After so many years had passed, so many cultivators have entered, but has anyone ever seen a single strand of hair left by an immortal? Not a single strand of hair!"
...""
At this time, the lakeside was very lively. Although the Black Water Secret Realm opened once every hundred years, it was the first time for all the cultivators participating in it. The cultivators from the last batch either had their lifespans cut off or had died from an accident, or had already reached the Foundation Establishment stage and were no longer eligible to enter the Secret Realm!
But in the last few hundred years, except for the first time, there had never been a time when the secret realm had been so lively!
