C14 The little fatty's intentions
It was a normal, yet comfortable room.
Gao Zhi laid on the bed with his legs crossed, his fingers drumming on his stomach in a rhythmic manner. However, what he was thinking about now had nothing to do with eating.
"Three days a month is more or less the same as what the old man thought."
Gao Zhi mumbled to himself as a smile blossomed on the corner of his mouth. His previous request had merely been a test. According to the old man, it was already good enough that he could let him in for a day. Now that he thought about it, paleostilin seemed to be an impressive place.
Furthermore, ever since Lin Aqing mentioned it that day, he had only called himself 'Xiao Zhi' and he didn't mention his surname. The surname 'Di' was definitely a taboo, a taboo.
"Hey, Xiao Zhi, where did you come from?"
The room door opened. Wu Bupang swayed three times with each step and struggled to open his eyes. At the same time, he sat down in his room, reached out with his right hand and a delicate plate of pastries automatically appeared in his hand. All the disciples that were cultivating in the Heaven Gate had their own room. Wu Bupang happened to live right next to Gao Zhi.
Obviously, this seemingly ordinary little fatty possessed a 'Tao Ring' as well.
"Have some." Gao Zhi immediately waved his hand, showing no sign of embarrassment.
"Here you go." The little fatty was rather generous and directly threw the pastry in his hand towards Gao Zhi. At the same time, he took out a few snacks.
"If you want to talk about where I came from, that is no ordinary place. "To stay close to the mountain and the water, to enjoy the beautiful scenery and the simple and honest hearts of the people …"
As Gao Zhi ate the pastries, he continued to talk non-stop.
"Oh, from some remote mountain area." The little fatty suddenly understood and nodded.
"He can even hear that?" Gao Zhi stared, "You are a fortune-teller?"
"It has to be!"
The little fatty shook his head with a silly look on his face. Seeing that Gao Zhi did not understand, he laughed: "In this continent, other than a remote mountain village, everyone else can do it to the point of being simple and honest. The other cities were filled with schemes and scheming, trying to obtain benefits no matter the cost. The strong were respected, while the weak could only end up as meat on the chopping block. How could it be simple? A blood fight between blood brothers, a feud between father and son, the slaughter of a husband and wife by the bedside, it's all over the place. "
This little fatty was only about ten years old, but he seemed to understand a lot about these things.
"Oh?"
Gao Zhi squinted as he carefully sized up the little fatty. As for the latter, he had already started to eat his snacks. He couldn't tell that such a glutton would say such words.
"Hehe, I'm just casually speaking. You can listen to me casually."
Seeing Gao Zhi sizing himself up, the little fatty chuckled and didn't mind.
"Hur hur."
Gao Zhi chuckled, he tilted his head, and did not continue lying down. He immediately got off the bed and sat beside the little fatty, "Is there anything good to drink? Your pastries are a bit sticky. "
"Of course."
Fatty chuckled as he produced a one-foot tall jade bottle. As soon as he removed the stopper, a refreshing fragrance wafted out. The aroma of alcohol and the aroma of flowers filled the air. Clearly, this was a type of 'wine' with a very low concentration.
"Flowers and wine made solely by my family can awaken the blood, dissolve blood stasis, strengthen the physical and mental health, and nourish the spirit and strengthen the Yang!"
Gao Zhi licked his lips. Without waiting for him to finish, he immediately raised his head and took a big gulp of the wine.
"Tsk tsk, good wine."
Gao Zhi wiped the corner of his mouth and praised.
"Whoa, you, do you know the value of this wine? Even I usually take small sips. With this bite of yours, if others wanted to drink it, they would need at least ten taels of gold. "
Fatty's face twitched in pain, but he didn't snatch the jade bottle from her.
Ten taels of gold was enough to allow an ordinary family to live for a few years.
"That good?"
Gao Zhi was ecstatic, he had never tasted such a good wine in his life. The little fatty felt like slapping himself in the face when he saw this. He had already realized that the value of the man in front of him was different from his own. He was more concerned about the value of the wine than the wine itself.
"Twenty taels of gold, thirty taels of gold!"
As Gao Zhi drank, he continuously muttered a few words.
"I'll go!"
The little fatty was completely dumbstruck. When the number that Gao Zhi had mentioned had reached two hundred and thirty gold, he could not take it anymore and snatched the jade bottle away and kept it in the 'Tao Ring'.
"Burp!"
Xiao Zhi burped and gave a thumbs up, "It's really good, it's too delicious."
The little fatty opened his mouth and shrugged his shoulders helplessly. He was going to say, Have you ever had a good drink in your life, or what? Of course, before he could ask that question, he had already given himself an answer, which he was sure he had not drunk before.
"Tell me, what are you looking for me for? It can't be that you're just giving me something to eat and drink, right? "
Xiao Zhi smiled, his hands supporting his head on the table, he looked at the little fatty.
"Satisfying!"
"Since you're so direct, then I won't beat around the bush. I came here today to ask you a question, it seems that your relationship with Elder Tianlong is pretty good?"
"It's okay, it's okay." Xiao Zhi gave a careless look.
"Good?" The little fatty was startled. He felt that the other party seemed to be concealing something.
"As the saying goes, one's mouth is soft when eating people, and one's hands are short when taking people. These words are true."
Gao Zhi shook his head, then lowered his voice and said: "There are some things that I am not suitable to explain too clearly, you just need to understand it from the bottom of your heart."
"Oh!"
The little fatty nodded. A trace of a smile blossomed on the corner of his mouth, as if he had understood something.
"Do you understand?"
"Understood."
"En, it's good that you understand. Anyway, I didn't say anything." Xiao Zhi smiled like a little fox and stretched. It looked like he was going to continue sleeping.
"I've come to find you for an important matter."
The little fatty hurriedly said.
"Hmm? "Tell me." Gao Zhi turned and looked at him.
"Under Master Lu Xian's tutelage, there are currently a total of fourteen disciples. Among them, there are nine male and five female disciples. However, what you don't know is that at the end of each month, all of the disciples will hold a small competition, so of course, all of the disciples are referring to the disciples under Lu Xian's Master. "The winner will instead receive a Origin Tempering Pill. This pill is a grade six medicinal pill that can strengthen the body of a cultivator that has just entered the path of cultivation."
The little fatty explained quickly to Gao Zhi.
"So?" Gao Zhi blinked, but he remembered something else from the bottom of his heart. Back then, when he casually gave Lin Aqing a Sheng Yuan Dan, he seemed to have said it was of the fourth rank, right? To him, this sixth-grade pill was not that attractive.
"Because everyone's cultivation level is about the same, this competition, firstly, is to let the disciples discover their inadequacies. Secondly, in order to foster a tacit understanding within the team, disciples are required to form a team during the competition.
The little fatty paused for a moment, then continued, "However, Big Senior and Second Senior entered the sect earlier than us, and are already half a step into the Dao Resisting Realm. They practically always win, but Master doesn't care about these imbalances. They've gotten all the benefits in the past few years. "
"In other words, you will face the same situation in the future."
"Oh, got it." Gao Zhi nodded, without even thinking, he immediately jumped onto the bed and laid down. Grade six pill? He really wasn't interested.
Seeing that, the little fatty's eyes flashed with a strange light, and then he smiled: "I know that you have a good relationship with Elder Tianlong, and would not take a fancy to this grade six pill. But behind that, there was another thing. The disciples with the strongest strength would participate in the annual head disciple competition once, and the rewards were extremely rare as well. It was the road of training. "
"The road of training? "What?"
Xiao Zhi's interest was piqued, it was a strange phrase.
"The path to train the dao diagram." The little fatty said mysteriously.
"Exercise dao diagram?" Xiao Zhi was surprised. He knew about this sort of thing and he would occasionally mention it from that old man Tian Yun. He said that there weren't many places in the world that could train a 'Dao Diagram'. Also, practicing the dao diagram was not a small matter.
The dao diagram was the cultivator's most powerful reliance. It was the greatest spring water for a cultivator. If one was not careful, their dao diagram would shatter and their cultivation would be crippled. The heavy ones died instantly.
"Hmm, how is it? Are you interested this time?" The little fatty chuckled mischievously. Then he added, "If your performance isn't outstanding in front of Master, then you'll lose the opportunity to do so once a year."
"Interesting." Xiao Zhi rubbed his chin as he thought seriously.
"You want me to form a team with you?" Xiao Zhi then looked at Little Fatso, as if this was the biggest goal of the other party.
"That's right." The little fatty admitted this very straightforwardly.
"It seems that you think a lot of me." Xiao Zhi immediately laughed, his laugh was a little 'evil'.
"Of course, someone who has the 'Heaven Gate Killing Order' is definitely not an ordinary person. That day, when Gao Zhi revealed the order to kill in the Heaven Gate, it caused Song Yu to panic. At that time, many people naturally saw the situation.
"Interesting."
Xiao Zhi laughed but he did not mind.
"How is it? If you are willing, you can eat and drink to your heart's content. " The little fatty said with a smile. There was a trace of anticipation on his face.
"Mm, I agree. However, you must first tell me about the other people's situation. "
Xiao Zhi sat cross-legged on the bed and started to seriously think.
"Alright."
The little fatty was overjoyed. Once again, he took out the wine and placed the table full of exquisite pastries. The fragrance of the pastries was very tempting. The two sat around a table, eating and drinking.
"Eldest Senior Brother and Second Senior Sister's strengths are equally matched, both are at the Ninth Heavenly Layer of Dao Accomplishment Realm. As for the eldest senior brother's dao diagram, it was extraordinary. It was an ancient beast called the Sky Cracking Beast.
