Chapter 242 Contract Banquet
Wu Xiaoqing roughly understood what Zhou Lu experienced in the secret realm through the white inscription mushroom.
She frowned visibly.
"In other words, at least two immortal organizations?"
"Three to be precise." Zhou Lu said, "The last voice I heard from the other party seemed to be There is also an organization called Fairyland.”
"Gan, these people really have nothing to do when they are full." Wu Xiaoqing said angrily.
If the three immortal organizations all appeared after the era of beast control, then it really means that people's lives are so good that they just want to die for excitement.
How can it be so easy to be an immortal?
When the so-called Immortal Age was the most powerful, there were often sects that were wiped out by their opponents.
When Zhou Lu read novels before, he was still curious.
The so-called immortals, shouldn’t they be those with the spirit of immortality? Why do I feel like everyone is so irritable, killing everyone at every turn?
If you say someone has a grudge against you, then that’s fine.
The key is that the causes of some events are often very funny.
Either the magic weapon you were looking for was taken away, or someone took a second look at it on the road.
Now Zhou Lu knows it.
This is not a bad temper, he is clearly looking for an excuse to have a big meal.
As long as there are no fundamental changes in the immortal's roots, the immortal era will definitely not be much better.
So many people yearn for such a world.
There are a large number of people on the Internet who are influenced by novels and TV shows and have unrealistic fantasies about the age of immortals.
As everyone knows, based on the ratio between immortals and ordinary humans, if they really return to the era of immortals, there is a high probability that they will be immortals’ food.
That is to say, in the new era, all members are extraordinary. As long as an individual passes the exam, he can contract a spiritual pet with a certain degree of combat effectiveness.
Thinking like this, Zhou Lu returned to the room and began to sort out the next plan.
If his estimate is correct, Hanabi only needs to absorb the energy of one or two more immortals to fully announce the rank of half-step quasi-god.
At that time, you can start the evolution of fireworks.
Zhou Lu has completely collected the materials needed for evolution through system and academy rewards.
It's really outrageous to think about it this way.
At this time, it was not even half a year before Hanabi broke through to the third level.
There has never been such an exaggerated leap in strength in history.
Looking at Hanabi who was showing Xiao Lingyun around various objects in the room, Zhou Lu couldn't help but sigh: Hanabi was really born to become stronger.
The strength has advanced so rapidly, but it has not adapted at all.
In fact, you can't even see any signs of Hanabi's body and consciousness not being able to keep up because her strength has improved so quickly.
Watching Hanabi's calm and composed look, Tsukiga was amazed.
“You, a spiritual beast, are simply born to become a god.” Yue Ya said to Zhou Lu.
Zhou Lu suddenly thought: "Is there also the ability to seek the Taoist wood in this?"
Yueya didn't quite understand what Zhou Lu meant.
"What I mean is," Zhou Lu paused, collected his thoughts and continued, "Can't Qiudao Mu see destiny? It saw Hua Huo's ability from countless dream rain flowers, so it selected it "
Yueya thought for a while: "Theoretically, it is absolutely possible."
While the two were talking, there was a knock on the window of the room. sound.
Zhou Lu was stunned and subconsciously became alert.
“I am Qiqi.”
Zhou Lu seemed to have guessed something when he heard that it was the general elf from New Guangdong College, so he drew the curtains.
Qiqi flapped her wings and hovered outside the window.
As Zhou Lu opened the window, she flew in.
"Mother asked me to bring you a message."
"What?"
"After the matter here is settled, we will go to the Invalides to find her." Qiqi looked at Zhou Lu curiously.
Zhou Lu guessed that Qiudao Mu must have sensed something through destiny, so he asked his children to come and inform him.
After the matter is over...
It seems that Qiudaomu knows that he has something to do here.
She may have had a guess, but she had no intention of stopping it.
Does this mean that she actually knows that immortals exist in the Li family?
"Why are you looking at me like that?" Zhou Lu noticed that Qiqi was still looking at him curiously, and said with a smile.
Qiqi then slowly withdrew his gaze and said, "This is the first time that my mother has shown interest in other humans besides the master."
"Really?" Zhou Lu asked curiously, " But doesn’t she have a contract with a beast master?”
“That’s just a job,” Qiqi said.
After saying that, she glanced at Hanabi, and then asked: "If you need anything, feel free to ask me. Of course, I will not give you a discount."
The corners of Zhou Lu's mouth twitched slightly. , don’t even know what to say.
Qiqi's behavior was actually entirely because of Wu Xiaoqing.
As an exchange scholar, Wu Xiaoqing naturally enjoys some discounts.
Xiao Xi obviously did not tell Qiqi about Wu Xiaoqing's special situation, so when she was forced to get a discount by Wu Xiaoqing, she was severely cheated by Wu Xiaoqing.
She never expected that a human would possess such a huge amount of fairy coins.
None of the large beast-controlling companies have such a large reserve of fairy coins.
Looking at the purchase list Wu Xiaoqing took out, Qiqi almost fainted on the spot.
Unfortunately, as a species of mythical beast, her energy is almost unlimited, so she can only bite the bullet and complete the deal with Wu Xiaoqing.
After that, Qiqi walked away when she saw Wu Xiaoqing.
Although fairy coins are universal, for different general fairies, if the fairy coins issued by other general fairies go to their side to trade, they will suffer a loss.
Although Qiudao Mu does not have any assessment indicators, general fairies often compete with each other.
In addition, Qiqi and Xiao Xi already knew each other, and she even suspected that sending Wu Xiaoqing to their academy was intentional.
Qiqi exchanged a few words with Zhou Lu and then left through the window.
At this time, Hanabi had already taken Yueya to look at all the new things around him, and then returned to Zhou Lu with satisfaction.
Zhou Lu looked at the crescent moon resting on the fireworks hat and asked, "How is it? Can you still get used to it?"
As a professional beast master, he naturally has to consider the living environment of his spiritual pets. .
Although Yueya temporarily became Zhou Lu's spiritual pet, as a spiritual beast that has always lived in the wild, whether it can adapt to modern human life is still a big problem.
In fact, not only wild spiritual beasts, but also many spiritual pets cultivated by humans from breeding bases often require special environments to grow better due to the influence of innate genes.
So, in every city, there will be a city where beast masters bring their own spiritual pets to soothe their emotions.
Yueya seemed very happy: "It's a very nice place. It would be even better if there was water vapor." As a special type of water spirit beast, Xiaolingyun often prefers an environment where clouds can form.
Zhou Lu immediately understood Yue Ya’s needs and quickly asked Hanabi to boil a pot of water.
Crescent Moon was particularly happy when she saw the water vapor: "Yes, yes, this is it."
As he said that, he did not forget to look back at Benben who had been hanging up: "You too Come together.”
Benben refused directly: "I don't like water vapor."
"You may have misunderstood." Yueya used her power to open the kettle, "I let you go in here. Anyway, you are idle. , I’m just going to train you.”
When Benben saw this scene, he was silent for a while: “Are you sure you didn’t come here to torture me on purpose?”
But Benben finally gave up. Soaked myself in the kettle.
Benben's size is a bit too big compared to the kettle, so Hanabi was asked to use [Lilliput] to shrink it a bit.
Benben floated in the boiling hot water, while Crescent Moon happily turned into a little bird flying back and forth in the white water vapor.
On the second day, it was time for the Li family to hold a contract banquet.
Zhou Lu got up early in the morning.
Hanabi used steam to iron Zhou Lu's only formal dress the day before yesterday.
Going downstairs, a familiar yet unfamiliar beautiful woman was leaning against the door boredly.
"It's really rare to see you dressed like this, Sister Xiaoqing." Zhou Lu looked at Wu Xiaoqing in front of him and said with a smile.
Wu Xiaoqing rolled her eyes at Zhou Lu: "I don't like it either, but I can't get in there wearing a white coat."
"Speaking of which, where did you get the Li family's contract banquet? Is there an invitation?" Zhou Lu asked curiously.
"Qingyu gave it to me, they sent an invitation to Qingyu."
Zhou Lu knew that Ye Qingyu was in charge of investigating the immortal incident in the secret island: "It always feels like I want to call Sister Qingyu over to test her.”
"Let's not talk about this for now." Wu Xiaoqing looked at the time and said, "We are about to set off. Do you remember your mission?"
"Don't worry, I will contain Li when the time comes. The family’s spiritual pet.”
Now Zhou Lu, with the quasi-god Yue Ya and the almost quasi-god Hanabi, is ranked among the best in the entire world.
However, if the opponent is the spiritual pet of an entire family of mythical beasts, it is impossible to say that there is no pressure.
Fortunately, Zhou Lu didn't really need to defeat all the beast masters of the Li family, he just needed to contain them.
"The Li family's invitation is for Sister Qingyu. Will it cause trouble for Sister Qingyu if we do this?" Zhou Lu asked on the way to the Li family's mansion.
"It would be great if we weren't discovered." Wu Xiaoqing chuckled.
That’s easy to say, but this is their home court.
If you want to hide your identity, you have to avoid all kinds of surveillance in the Li family mansion.
But then I thought about it, why should I worry about being discovered by them?
A family of mythical beasts, but they tried to develop on the path of immortality. The mistake was clearly made by the Li family.
When there was really going to be a fuss, Ye Qingyu threw away the evidence, and it was the Li family who was embarrassed.
Some things you do in private and no one says anything.
But as long as you put the matter out in the open, then the officials will have to take care of it.
Just like many illegal things, in fact, the official turns a blind eye to individuals.
But once more people report it and it is brought to light, they will have to deal with it.
What's more, the issue of immortals involves the legality of today's officialdom.
The era of beast control was launched to counter the immortals.
If you find that there is a family that wants to become a fairy family and ignore it, you will lose your legitimacy.
Thinking this way, Zhou Lu felt more confident and bold.
He even felt that if the Li family really wanted to settle a score with Ye Qingyu, he could bring the immortal's matter to light.
While the founding beasts in the Invalides are not yet extinct, humans still have a chance to eradicate all the moths within themselves.
"Then let's make a big fuss." Zhou Lu said this, looking at the house slowly appearing in front of him outside the car window.
What surprised Zhou Lu was that, as a former family of mythical beasts, the Li family's house was actually not ostentatious.
Even if you look at it just from the architecture, it is actually an old ordinary house.
But outside the house is a large lawn and a large number of man-made landscapes.
These man-made landscapes are not just for looks, many of them have practical purposes.
For example, let your spiritual pet train how to fight in different environments.
Only wealthy families have the conditions to build training venues directly in their own homes.
Wu Xiaoqing took Zhou Lu and walked into the Li family's mansion in such a swaggering manner.
At this time, all the round tables were set up on the grass in front of the house.
A variety of cold dishes are placed on the round table, just waiting for the owner to give instructions to bring out the various dishes from the kitchen.
Zhou Lu and his party came relatively late.
There were already many people in front of us. They toasted each other and chatted happily.
Many people even show off their spiritual pets there.
After a while, Zhou Lu saw them laughing and holding their spiritual pets as they went to the grassland for a beast-control duel.
Well, having a beast-control duel just after a disagreement is really in line with the background of this era.
If you just look at this scene, it is hard to imagine that the Li family is actually involved with the immortals.
“When shall we start?” Zhou Lugang wanted to ask Wu Xiaoqing, but when he turned around, he found that the other party was no longer around him.
Then I looked again and saw that I was gobbling it down.
"You're not really here to have a feast, are you?" Zhou Lu said helplessly as he looked at Wu Xiaoqing's performance.
Although Wu Xiaoqing eats quickly, her appearance is quite elegant.
Putting the duck bones on the table, Wu Xiaoqing said calmly: "It's hard to get some food, I must finish it before doing anything."
Said, Wu Xiaoqing also extended an invitation to Zhou Lu: "Would you like to sit down and eat together? I think their food will be served soon."
What's the matter with your damn relaxation!
Zhou Lu suddenly regretted following Wu Xiaoqing on the mission.
In the end, under Wu Xiaoqing's encouragement and temptation, Zhou Lu sat down.
“So, when are you going to look for Grandmaster’s things?”
“Ah, there’s no rush.” Wu Xiaoqing fiddled with the cup in her hand and drank a glass of coconut juice, “General You need to observe the enemy you are facing first.”
In addition to the several talented beast masters they have, the Li family also hired a group of beast masters to protect them.
What Zhou Lu has to do is let Hua Huo mark all these people during the banquet.
As long as they are marked by pollen, Zhou Lu can know their every move through empathy.
Zhou Lu was just thinking when Wu Xiaoqing suddenly lit up in front of him: "Hey! I found it! The Ghost Heart Purple Mushroom will not let me down!"
