Chapter 1057 Wu Tao vs. Zhou Xinyang
Wu Tao took Chen Yao and Li Yi with him as they strolled around the inner gate Xiuxian City. They bought whatever they wanted to buy.
For the time being, they still had no shortage of spiritual stones.
"Hey, do you have spiritual fruit skewers here?" Chen Yao's eyes lit up as she strolled around, pointing to the front and saying to Wu Tao excitedly.
Wu Tao followed Chen Yao's fingertips and saw a stall selling spiritual fruit skewers in front of him. Strings of colorful spiritual fruit skewers were inserted on the stall and put on sale.
"Okay, let's go buy them now." Wu Tao took Chen Yao to the stall selling spiritual fruit skewers.
Spiritual fruit skewers were the memories of Wu Tao and Chen Yao. At that time, they were still in Wuquan Mountain Xiuxian City. When they went out shopping, they would definitely buy spiritual fruit skewers.
"Brother, I want to eat this, and this... Yi'er, what flavor do you want?" Chen Yao seemed to have returned to the days in Wuquan Mountain Xiuxian City. Every time she went shopping, her senior brother would buy her a string of spiritual fruit skewers.
Li Yi looked at the fruit strings. He was an adult now. When he was a child in Xingchen Fairy Palace, Chen Yao would take him to the outer gate market of Xingchen Fairy Palace to buy them. But as he grew older, he didn't like these sweet things.
However, seeing his mother's happy expression, Li Yi would not spoil her mood. He pointed to a bunch of fruit strings and said, "Mom, I like this flavor."
Seeing Chen Yao's happy face, Wu Tao felt very satisfied. It was a very happy thing for the family to continue on the bumpy road of cultivating immortals.
Chen Yao took three fruit strings, and the stall owner said, "Chenghui, three medium-grade spirit stones."
Wu Tao immediately took out three medium-grade spirit stones from his storage bag and gave them to the stall owner of the fruit strings. The fruit strings used in these three fruit strings were all good fruit strings, which were worth the price.
"Brother, this string is yours, Yi'er, this string is yours, and this string is mine." Chen Yao gave Wu Tao and Li Yi a string each, and then ate the fruit strings happily.
Wu Tao looked at the spiritual fruit string that Chen Yao had just given him, and ate one of the spiritual fruits on it. He felt that the taste was not as good as the spiritual fruits he had eaten in Wuquan Mountain Xiuxian City before, so he looked at Chen Yao and asked: "Ayao, which one is better, this spiritual fruit string from Liuyang Sect or the spiritual fruit string from Wuquan Mountain Xiuxian City?"
Chen Yao chewed the spiritual fruit in her mouth and replied: "As long as it is bought by my senior brother, it is delicious."
For this answer, Wu Tao smiled, ate another spiritual fruit, and handed the remaining two spiritual fruits in the spiritual fruit string to Chen Yao and said: "You eat it."
Chen Yao happily took it.
And Li Yi, who was following them, saw this and looked at the remaining two spiritual fruits in his hand. He also felt that they were too sweet, so he said to Chen Yao: "Mom, I'll give you this one too."
Chen Yao said disdainfully: "Eat it yourself. If you don't like it, take it back to the cave to give it to the golden-winged eagle."
Li Yi was speechless for a while, while Wu Tao on the side smiled.
Continue to stroll on the streets of this inner gate Xiuxian City. The shops on both sides are very complete, selling magic tools, elixirs, talismans and formations, as well as some spiritual materials, various spiritual meat jerky and spiritual fruits.
When she came to a shop selling monster meat, Chen Yao took a look at the shop, stopped for a while, and continued to walk, but Wu Tao noticed this detail and stopped, saying to Chen Yao: "Ayao, there is a monster meat shop here. Why don't we go to buy some monster meat and some spiritual rice to cook at home."
"We haven't cooked a meal since we came to Liuyangmen."
Seeing that the senior brother was so considerate, Chen Yao nodded warmly and said: "Okay."
Then he took Wu Tao's hand and walked into the monster meat shop, and Li Yi followed obediently behind.
After entering the store, the owner of the store was a Yuanying stage cultivator, also a cultivator of Liuyang Sect. He saw Wu Tao and his family coming in, and shouted: "The meat of the fourth-level low-level monster Mangshan cattle that has just been captured is delicious. Would you like to have some?"
Wu Tao looked at the fourth-level low-level Mangshan cattle monster meat on the chopping board and saw that it was indeed fresh, so he said: "Okay, give me 50 kilograms."
For Wu Tao, a physical cultivator, 50 kilograms of monster meat can be refined in an instant, but eating and refining monster meat are two different things. He prefers to enjoy the food slowly with Chen Yao, Li Yi and his family.
Experience the joy of being a human.
Hearing Wu Tao's words, the Yuanying cultivator knew that he was a big customer, and the smile on his face became more cheerful. He immediately weighed 50 kilograms of Mangshan cattle monster meat.
After a while, the Yuanying cultivator sent Wu Tao and his family out of the store enthusiastically.
Then Wu Tao, Chen Yao, and Li Yi went to buy spiritual rice again.
Just as he was leaving the shop selling spiritual rice, he ran into three very familiar immortal cultivators.
"Daoyou Li, are you out of retreat?"
Junior Brother Li Fengqing looked at Wu Tao and said in surprise. He didn't expect that he and his senior brother Li Fengqing and the true disciple of Qingyang Peak, Zhang Ruo, came to the inner gate immortal cultivation city to do something, and happened to meet Wu Tao's family.
Zhang Ruo looked at the shop where Wu Tao's family walked out of, and asked in confusion: "Daoyou Li, are you buying spiritual rice to cook?"
You know, he and Wu Tao are immortal cultivators in the realm of transformation. Who would buy spiritual rice to cook? It's a waste of time. It's better to take pills directly.
"Hello, three Taoist friends." Wu Tao greeted Li Fengqing, Zhang Ruo, and Junior Brother Li Fengqing, and nodded and said: "Not bad, I haven't cooked for a long time. Buy some spiritual rice and some monster meat to eat."
"Three Taoist friends, if you have nothing to do, you can come to my cave to eat."
After these words came out, Zhang Ruo and Li Fengqing were speechless. They didn't like to eat like ordinary people or like refining qi. Maybe immortal cultivators above the foundation building stage have the leisure to cook elegantly, but they don't cook often.
Zhang Ruo and Li Fengqing were just thinking about rejecting Wu Tao's invitation, but Li Fengqing, who was always silent, nodded and said, "Okay!"
Hearing Li Fengqing say "Okay", Zhang Ruo and Li Fengqing looked at Li Fengqing strangely. Wu Tao also looked at Li Fengqing helplessly. He was just being polite and courteous. He didn't expect Li Fengqing to really accept the invitation. In this case, it doesn't matter if they have a meal together.
"Then the three Taoist friends, will you come back to the cave with me, or come back later?" Wu Tao asked.
Originally, Wu Tao, Chen Yao, Li Yi and his family were going to buy spiritual rice and go back to the cave. There was nothing to visit. They would come back when they had time. Anyway, Wu Tao didn't retreat for these two months.
"Okay!" Li Fengqing said again.
But he was very frugal with words, and only said one word each time.
So Wu Tao used the flying magic weapon to take Chen Yao and Li Yi back to his cave. Li Fengqing, Zhang Ruo, and Li Fengqing followed closely behind and sat on Zhang Ruo's flying boat.
Soon, they returned to the cave.
After entering the cave, Wu Tao asked Li Fengqing, Zhang Ruo, and Li Fengqing to sit in the front hall, while he and Chen Yao went to cook. There was no kitchen in the cave, but with his cultivation as a god of transformation, the strong never complained about the environment, and directly opened a simple stove in the courtyard.
Wu Tao asked Li Yi to entertain Li Fengqing, Zhang Ruo, and Li Fengqing, the three gods of transformation, and also train Li Yi.
After Wu Tao and Chen Yao processed the ingredients, they began to stew the monster meat, but found that Li Fengqing, Zhang Ruo, Li Fengqing and Li Yi actually came out of the courtyard and began to teach Li Yi to practice magic.
Zhang Ruo was the most active.
Wu Tao looked at this scene with a smile on his face. It was Li Yi's blessing to have three gods teach him.
He didn't have this blessing when he was building his foundation.
Zhang Ruo was the most active, but after a while, he asked Junior Brother Li Fengqing to teach Li Yi to practice magic. He came to Wu Tao and Chen Yao, and saw Wu Tao and his wife cooking, and he became interested and wanted to learn.
Wu Tao hurriedly drove him away. He cooked to enhance his relationship with Chen Yao and reminisce about his past life, but he didn't allow Zhang Ruo to disturb him.
At dusk.
The meal was ready. The setting sun shone through the cave formation and sprinkled on the cave courtyard. In the pavilion, Wu Tao, Chen Yao, Li Yi's family, and the guests Li Fengqing, Zhang Ruo, and Junior Brother Li Fengqing sat around and enjoyed the delicious monster meat.
"Although the spirit of this monster meat is not as much as the elixir, the taste is dozens of times better." Zhang Ruo commented while eating the monster meat.
Junior Brother Li Fengqing also ate the monster meat and said, "It should be Brother Li Mo's good cooking skills that can make this ordinary monster meat so delicious."
The fourth-level low-level monster meat is equivalent to the monster in the early stage of the Nascent Soul. In his mouth, it turned into ordinary monster meat. But it is also true that Junior Brother Li Fengqing is a Divine Lord after all.
Li Fengqing chewed the monster meat silently, and his eating manner was very elegant, not as wild as Zhang Ruo and his junior brother.
Wu Tao also picked up the monster meat for Chen Yao. Although there were three people including Li Fengqing, Chen Yao still felt the warmth of a family.
After eating happily, Chen Yao went to clean up, and Li Yi also went back to the practice room to practice. Only Wu Tao, Li Fengqing, Zhang Ruo, and Junior Brother Li Fengqing were left in the pavilion.
At this time, the sun had set, but the six suns on the six peaks of Liuyangmen were still emitting light, illuminating the entire Liuyangmen together with the full moon in the sky.
"Brother Li Mo, we will have a battle with Zhou Xinyang in two months. Are you sure?" Zhang Ruo looked at Wu Tao and asked.
Wu Tao said, "Whether you are sure or not, we will know in two months."
"Zhou Xinyang has been training outside for 10 years. He should have got a great opportunity. In just five years, he has advanced more than 200 places in the list of geniuses in the transformation of the spirit." Zhang Ruo said.
Regarding the battle between Wu Tao and Zhou Xinyang, Zhang Ruo was not optimistic about Wu Tao.
Junior brother Li Fengqing was not optimistic about Wu Tao either.
Li Fengqing looked at Wu Tao and said, "I believe you, brother Li Mo."
Seeing Li Fengqing say so, Zhang Ruo and junior brother Li Fengqing had to express their belief in Wu Tao and told Wu Tao not to have too much pressure.
Wu Tao naturally had no pressure. He was now in the perfect state of transformation and the ninth level of the divine body. His divine thoughts were so powerful. His magic power was also powerful. He would not be afraid of a little Zhou Xinyang.
If he was afraid of Zhou Xinyang, how could he go further on the road of cultivation and how could he be invincible in the realm of transformation of the spirit?
After talking for a while and telling Wu Tao the latest information about Zhou Xinyang, Li Fengqing, Zhang Ruo, and Li Fengqing said goodbye and left.
In the following days, Wu Tao relaxed and stopped retreating. Occasionally, he would go to Chiyang Peak to chat with Li Fengqing. When he went to visit Fengyang Tianjun, he was told that Fengyang Tianjun was retreating.
Li Fengqing wanted to spar with Wu Tao, but was rejected by Wu Tao.
And Li Yi often went out of the cave. One day, Li Yi came back and said to Wu Tao: "Dad, now everyone is opening the market outside. Bet on who will win and who will lose between you and Zhou Xinyang?"
Wu Tao naturally knew about this, but he didn't bet on himself to win or lose, so he looked at Li Yi and said: "Then do you bet on Dad to win, or Zhou Xinyang to win?"
Li Yi said: "Of course I bet on Dad to win. What's Zhou Xinyang? Dad will definitely beat him."
Wu Tao laughed, patted Li Yi on the shoulder and said: "Then remember to invest more and earn more spiritual stones."
Li Yi said: "Okay, I'll go again tomorrow, and I'll invest all my wealth in you, Dad."
The next day, Li Yi went again and bet all his wealth on his father. The cultivators on the side of the market looked at Li Yi and persuaded him a few words, but they didn't recognize that Li Yi was Wu Tao's son.
Time passed slowly.
Soon, there were still three days before the day of Wu Tao's battle with Zhou Xinyang.
The closer it was to the day of the battle between Wu Tao and Zhou Xinyang, the more excited the cultivators of the entire Liuyang Sect were. The stalls opened one after another, and all the cultivators were gambling, betting on Zhou Xinyang to win.
Some cultivators even opened the market and bet on Zhou Xinyang to defeat Wu Tao in a few moves.
Wu Tao also got the news about all this, but he didn't care.
He still practiced every day as usual, and then did what he should do.
On this day, Meng Jingtian came to the Liuyang Gate and took out a communication talisman to activate it. The talisman turned into light and flew into the Liuyang Gate.
Meng Jingtian waited quietly outside the Liuyang Gate.
Not long after, Zhou Ruiyang appeared, his eyes fell on Meng Jingtian, sensing Meng Jingtian's breath of Lianxu Tianjun and said: "I didn't expect that you broke through the Lianxu realm so quickly!"
"Hello, Elder Zhou, I came here for Li Mo." Meng Jingtian bowed to Zhou Ruiyang and said calmly.
Zhou Ruiyang looked at him and said: "Follow me."
Soon Zhou Ruiyang brought Meng Jingtian to Jinyang Peak. Zhou Xinyang knew that Meng Jingtian came to Jinyang Peak, and went to see what Meng Jingtian wanted to do.
Knowing that Meng Jingtian came for Wu Tao, Zhou Xinyang said: "Fellow Daoist Meng, you can wait for a while. I will have a battle with Li Mo in three days."
"Oh, he will fight with fellow Daoist Zhou? What virtue and ability does he have to dare to challenge fellow Daoist Zhou?" Meng Jingtian showed an interested look on his face.
If that was the case, he would not be in a hurry. He wanted to see Wu Tao defeated by Zhou Xinyang first and then by him, so that Wu Tao could experience the feeling of being defeated by someone.
Zhou Xinyang said with a smile: "It's like this for a casual cultivator."
"Okay, then I will wait for him to fight with fellow Daoist Zhou first. I want to see how fellow Daoist Zhou defeats him." Meng Jingtian said with a smile.
Zhou Xinyang said: "You will see."
Meng Jingtian came to Liuyangmen, and only Zhou Ruiyang and Zhou Xinyang knew about it. Other Liuyangmen cultivators did not know.
Three days later in a blink of an eye.
The inner sect fighting square was unprecedentedly grand. All the inner sect cultivators of the Liuyang Sect gathered in the fighting square. There was no room for people around the square, and cultivators were suspended in the air.
The space around the fighting square was crowded.
The outer sect cultivators heard about this grand occasion and also asked for the inner sect’s relationship to come in and watch.
There were also the deacons and elders of the outer sect, and these Lianxu Tianjuns were watching on the sea of clouds.
They were waiting for Wu Tao and Zhou Xinyang, the two protagonists of today, to appear, but in their hearts, Zhou Xinyang was the protagonist of today, and Wu Tao was just a supporting role, to set off Zhou Xinyang’s strength.
They had already imagined that scene, Zhou Xinyang strongly defeated Wu Tao.
"It's open, it's open, buy quickly if you still want to, it will be too late!" There were still cultivators shouting around the fighting square.
Above the battle square, a number of Lianxu Tianjuns stood in the air. Not only were there Lianxu Tianjuns from the six peaks, but also Lianxu Tianjuns from the five halls who came to join in the fun.
