Chapter 43: Mount Hua's Five Peaks, Sword Sect and Qi Sect (Part 2)
Donglu County Town
This place has a rice shop called Huashi, which is the largest and most historic rice shop in Donglu County. The Huashi family has been running this rice shop for generations. Some people have tried to take advantage of the shop's huge profits by causing trouble for the Huashi family, but ultimately, those who tried to cause trouble ended up dying under mysterious circumstances.
This Huashi rice shop is one of the secret outposts of Mount Hua's immortal gate in this place.
The Five Great Sects, ruling over the Great Jin Nation, had set up numerous hidden sentries in various locations.
At this time, Huashi Rice Shop's backyard gathered people from Huashan North Peak and Huashan South Peak.
Huashan North Peak, naturally, is led by the 9th generation Flying Sword Chu Fei, with eight true disciples of the 10th generation, a total of nine people.
The people of Huashan South Peak, who are also not unfamiliar, are led by the ninth generation's Fei Yan Jian Gu Fei, along with their tenth generation's seven true disciples, a total of eight people.
The people of the two peaks didn't have much grudge against each other, it's just that the people from the Sword Sect were always a bit arrogant and self-important, but not to the point where they couldn't be tolerated. What needs to be said is about the feud between Fei Tian Jian Chu Fei from North Peak and Fei Yan Jian Gu Fei from South Peak. Both of their nicknames have the word "Fei" in them, as do their names. Their swordsmanship styles are both inclined towards being light and agile, one being the Flying Heaven Sword Style and the other being the Flying Wild Goose Sword Style. It can be said that they had already clashed with each other several times because of these differences, and their usual relationship was quite hostile.
Unexpectedly, Beifeng sent out Chufei.
Nanfengpai sent out Gu Fei.
What a wonderful thing!
Of course, although it's said that Lezi has grown up, they are still the seniors of the ninth generation of sword immortals. In front of more than a dozen juniors, they still have to consider the face of their seniors and can't just start fighting.
"Oh, isn't this Chu Fei's junior brother?"
"Isn't this Gu Fei's junior brother?" These two people called each other "junior brother", and absolutely would not give in to the other on this point.
"Unexpectedly, it was Pai Chui Fei's junior brother who came to carry out this task."
"Yes, and I didn't expect it was you, Brother Fei, who carried out this task." The two men with a bad relationship were being hypocritical.
"By the way, Chu Fei, I heard that among your tenth generation disciples, there's a Lu Yuan who is exceptionally skilled in swordsmanship and defeated my disciple Gu Mi with just seven moves," said Gu Fei.
"It's nothing, it's nothing. Lu Yuan is just decent at swordsmanship, and it was just luck that he managed to defeat Gu Mi's disciple with one move," Chu Fei said.
……
Chu Fei and Gu Fei, the two senior sword immortals, were chatting with each other, pretending to be friendly, while the eight true disciples of Beifeng and the seven true disciples of Nanfeng didn't have much to talk about. They only asked who Lu Yuan was, and the true disciples of Nanfeng still cared about Lu Yuan, who could defeat Gu Mi in seven moves.
After all, Gu Mi's swordsmanship was quite good, and the duel took place in heavy rain, with both timing and location favorable to him, yet he still lost.
This means that Beifeng Luyuan's swordsmanship should be quite good, and it's worth the people of Nanfeng paying attention to.
Although they have always looked down on Beifeng's swordsmanship, Lu Yuan is worth their attention.
The shopkeeper of the Hua's Rice Shop had already prepared a banquet, this time with twelve dishes: West Lake vinegar fish, white-cooked yellow duck, Mapo tofu, five-spice sauce beef, garlic roasted pork ribs, garlic mashed meat, chili stir-fried eggs, tiger-skin green peppers..., plus two refreshing soups.
What a delicious meal!
Of course, most cultivators have little interest in food, let alone when they are about to slay demons and evil spirits. Everyone basically just eats a few mouthfuls lightly.
But there are exceptions.
The exception is Lu Yuan.
Lu Yuan didn't care about anything else, he had two good things in his life: one was eating well and the other was drinking well. Now that there was delicious food in front of him, not eating it would be a waste. Other people just took a few shallow bites, but Lu Yuan didn't care about appearances and dug in with gusto, especially when it came to the five-spice sauce beef. His hometown of Dongye County wasn't far from Donglu County, and he had heard of the fame of this dish since childhood, although he had never tried it before. Now that he finally got to try it, the five-spice sauce beef was indeed delicious, with tender beef that melted in his mouth. As a professional foodie, Lu Yuan judged that this must be beef from a cow less than a year old - otherwise, it wouldn't be so tender.
Otherwise, the beef won't be so tender.
The West Lake vinegar fish is quite well done.
Unfortunately, the wine was not very good and no better wine was offered.
Lu Yuan ate as if no one was around, leaving the group of cultivators next to him staring in shock. Ye Fang and Ye Yuan were secretly frustrated, they also wanted to eat a lot, but they had to maintain an image in front of others, after all, it was really hard to be as carefree as Sixth Brother.
But Gu Mi was also stunned at this time, he really lost to such a greedy person. No matter how he looked at it, he felt that it was impossible. He had been practicing his sword every day, but in the end, he lost to such a greedy person. He only lasted six moves and was defeated on the seventh move. How could this be?
Of course, if Gu Mi knew that Lu Yuan's sword practice time was pitifully short every day, he would probably be even more heartbroken, with tears streaming down his face.
So many people are staring at him, but Lu Yuan doesn't care and continues eating.

Mount Hua, North Peak.
At this time, thunderclaps rang out one after another.
Boom! Another thunderbolt exploded.
The thunder that burst forth illuminated the scenery on the ground, and also illuminated Yuanyuan's study, illuminating the "Harmony" couplet hanging on the wall in a majestic manner. At this moment, Yuanyuan was writing, while standing beside him was Yue Yangfeng, one of the Six Swords of Mount Hua.
Yuanyuan Shangren held a brush in his hand, and at the moment of thunderclap, he wrote a series of words on the snow-white paper with a dragon-like stroke. Ye Yangfeng looked over from the side and found that this series of words was exactly "Thunder Shock Snake Turns into Dragon". Yuanyuan Shangren stopped his brush: "Our eight true disciples of Beifeng have not dealt with the underground demon before, but the underground demon is the real opponent of our five major immortal sects. No matter what, we must face it. This time, they encountered this trial, whether it's a snake or a dragon, or Thunder Shock Snake Turns into Dragon, or Thunder Shock Snake Turns into Insect, it depends on themselves."
Ye Yangfeng smiled, his chubby face full of fat, and with a smile, he looked like a businessman: "I think it's not just that, Donglu County is the intersection of our North Peak and South Peak. The South Peak will also send people, I estimate they will also send an elder with some true disciples, and the South Peak is one of the two peaks of the Sword Sect. People from the South Peak have always been fond of fighting. I think your intention, Peak Master, is to let our North Peak's true disciples compete with the South Peak's true disciples to see which side is better."
Yuanyuan stood with his hands behind his back: "The Five Peaks Grand Comparison is not a distant event, we, the tenth generation of Beifeng, are slightly weaker, let them see the true disciples of other peaks, and later they will work harder."
"The way of harmony is to make them understand that there are very powerful external enemies, and internally it will naturally be harmonious."
Yuanyuan smiled and pointed at the two characters "He Xie" hanging on the wall.
Found that writing classical fantasy novels can't be rushed, once rushed, the classical fantasy atmosphere is lost, it seems that slowing down is the only way.
