At noon, the inn slowly began to serve guests. Other than the people in the town, many people from Guangyang Prefecture and the surrounding counties rushed over after hearing the news.
The restaurant became busy again. Although Li Dazui had received various secret cooking techniques and ingredients from Su Xuan, his culinary skills had improved.
However, compared to Su Xuan's cooking, it was still lacking by a large margin. Hence, many customers complained after eating.
"Shopkeeper, we're all here for Shopkeeper Su's name. This dish doesn't taste like what Shopkeeper Su made at all.”
A young man slammed his chopsticks on the table and said with a dark face.
Tong Xiangyu was shocked and hurriedly explained,""Manager Su is not here now. If the customer is not satisfied, I can give you a discount.”
"You're not running an inn. Let Manager Su out.”
The man was unhappy and flew into a rage at Tong Xiangyu. Lao Bai shielded her behind him and said to the man,""If you want to behave atrociously here, you can try. With the three melons and two dates you gave me, do you think they're worthy of eating Manager Su's food and wine?”
Bai Zhantang sneered." You can eat if you want. You have to pay a gold ingot as a deposit. Whenever Manager Su is in a good mood, he will cook a table of dishes for you."”
"You still dare to ask Manager Su to come out? How many brains do you have to be so arrogant?”
The young man's expression changed drastically and immediately turned from dark to clear. He smiled apologetically and said,"I drank too much wine just now, so I spoke a little muddle-headedly. I hope Shopkeeper doesn't mind.”
With that, he ran out of the inn in a panic, not even daring to look back.
"Why did he leave just like that?"
Tong Xiangyu looked at the two taels of silver in her hand and was confused. The man ran so fast that she didn't even have time to change.
"Because I'm afraid."
Lao Bai rolled his eyes and began to clear the table.
"Why are you afraid? Little Su doesn't eat people.”
Tong Xiangyu was puzzled.
"Yes, that's right. Of course, Little Su doesn't eat people.”
Lao Bai thought to himself, But he killed people.”
" Shopkeeper," he said casually," if you encounter any troublemakers in the future, just ask Old Xing for help. If it's a Jianghu person you can't mess with, just tell him Little Su's name."”
"Is it that useful?"
"Why didn't I realize that Little Su was so powerful?" Tong Xiangyu muttered.”
"It will definitely work."
"Not only in Qixia Town, but even in Guangyang Prefecture." Lao Bai laughed.”
She didn't dwell too much on it. She turned around and happily threw two taels of silver into the money jar before locking it up.
Although the business these days was not as good as the first day of opening, the daily turnover was not bad.
Other than wages, food, and so on, there was still a lot of profit.
"Old Bai, ask Big Mouth to prepare lunch. You send it to Little Su and see if he has come out of seclusion.”
Tong Xiangyu shouted after she had recorded the account book.
"Alright."
Time always passed unknowingly in such an ordinary town.
Misty rain drifted over from the depths of Cuiwei Mountain and crossed the Xiliang River, leaving ripples behind.
Holding Qixia Town in his arms, he continued to head south, blocking the mountains and wilderness. Dark clouds covered the sky, mixed with a cool rain curtain.
They hit the doors, windows, and tiles, making a crisp sound. The gauze curtain beside the railing swayed in the wind.
Like a dancing fairy, she was stretching her waist. The lotus leaves in the pond were stacked, the willows were swaying in the wind, and the green bamboos were swaying.
Damp steam rushed into the room. On the bed, the figure sitting cross-legged was like an old monk in meditation.
After an unknown period of time, Su Xuan slowly opened his eyes. Two streaks of lightning and fire were hidden deep within them.
"Crackle!"
His entire body emitted an explosive sound as his mind was triggered. In an instant, boundless Wedding Dress Genuine Qi rushed out of his dantian like a galloping horse, rushing into his meridians.
Secluded for half a month
He had finally mastered the first stage of the Wedding Dress Divine Art and transformed all the Diamond Origin True Qi in his body into Wedding Dress True Qi.
This Wedding Dress True Qi was indeed one of the strongest inner energies in the world, far surpassing the Diamond Chaos Origin True Qi.
Moreover, the Wedding Dress Genuine Qi had the attributes of thunder and fire, and it mainly cultivated the heart meridian. This was also why those who cultivated the Wedding Dress Divine Art would suffer extreme pain.
How could the Thunder Fire True Qi not hurt?
However, the first stage of the Wedding Dress Divine Art was nothing to Su Xuan. The Indestructible Body of Vajra was not something he could boast about.
If it wasn't for the fact that his body couldn't support him to continue his seclusion, he wouldn't even want to wake up.
If he was in seclusion, he could only rely on the foundation of his entire body to nurture his zhenqi and primordial spirit. This was equivalent to destroying his foundation.
Su Xuan wasn't a fool, so he naturally wouldn't do such a stupid thing. He left the room and headed straight for the inn.
"Big Mouth, make something to eat. There must be meat. The more, the better.”
Su Xuan threw a few dozen silver taels to Lao Bai.""Go buy some meat on the street. Beef, mutton, pork, whatever. The more, the better.”
"Also, buy some ginseng and other nourishing herbs.”
"Little Su, did something happen to your cultivation?”
Bai Zhantang was worried.
"I'm fine. I'm just hungry."
he said with a smile.
"How much can you eat?"
"Eat as much as you want. Your Sister Xiangyu is treating."”
"Old Bai, go to the medicine shop and buy the herbs that Little Su wants first. Remember not to buy fake ones. There are many drops of fake ginseng now.”
"Don't worry."
Lao Bai took the silver and grinned." The person who can deceive my pair of fiery eyes hasn't been born yet."”
If a swindler met a thief ancestor, wouldn't that mean that the old man had eaten poison and was tired of living?
"Big mouth, hurry up and cook. Make all the meat.”
The shopkeeper urged.
"Alright, Little Su, wait a moment. The dishes will be ready soon.”
Big Mouth went to the kitchen to get busy.
"Xiaobei, go and see if there's anything to eat in the kitchen. Give it to your Brother Su first.”
Tong Xiangyu poured a cup of tea and handed it over. She said softly,"Even if you want to practice, you can't go without eating. I've been asking Old White to send food over every day, but you're the one who has to practice on an empty stomach.”
Not long after, Big Mouth brought a large basin of boiled meat to the table."Little Su, you eat first. There are more dishes later. I even made you an old hen and pig trotters.”
After the time it took to brew a cup of tea, Tong Xiangyu stared at the empty iron basin with her mouth agape. There was not even any soup in it, let alone meat.
Su Xuan drank a cup of tea and felt nothing.
Body refinement was to refine qi and blood. Qi was true qi and internal arts, so blood was naturally blood. Blood was the essence of human beings. Only when blood was strong could the body be strong.
With such a freakish Indestructible Physique, it naturally required a massive amount of blood essence to support it. Hence, Su Xuan's appetite was relatively large.
Usually, he relied on refining qi into essence and breathing in and out true qi to replenish his qi and blood. However, if he wanted to replenish his qi and blood in a short period of time, the best and fastest way was still to eat nourishment.
Soon, Big Mouth brought two more bowls of meat, and Su Xuan finished them in no time.
old hen
Stewed pork trotters
In less than an hour, he had finished all the meat in the inn, but Su Xuan was still not satisfied.
"Oh my god, Little Su, why are you suddenly so gluttonous? I've never seen you eat so much before.”
Tong Xiangyu was so shocked that she stuttered.
"This is what you don't understand.”
Old White carried half a plate of pork and a sheep as he walked in, panting."Refining to turn into qi, if you don't eat, how can you refine?
Little Su had been cultivating in seclusion recently, so she definitely needed to eat more meat to replenish her Qi and blood.”
"Big mouth, take it and stew it."
He carried the pork and sheep to the kitchen and took out a big bag of medicinal herbs.
"Blunt them all into the flesh."
Su Xuan walked in, rolled up his sleeves, and took a sharp knife from the wall. He lifted half a slice of pork onto the chopping board and quickly removed all the bones before throwing them into the large iron pot.
Then, he cut the pork into pieces and threw them in. Finally, he slaughtered the sheep and threw it into another iron pot to stew.
Then, he washed the tonics in the bag again and placed them into two pots respectively, mixing them together and stewing them.
An hour later, they smelled a strange smell coming from the kitchen. The people in the hall frowned.
"What's this smell?"
Mo Xiaobei pinched her nose and breathed through her mouth.
"Don't tell me it's overcooked."
Tong Xiangyu ran to the entrance of the inn to take a breath of fresh air.
"Because I added a lot of tonics, the taste is a little strange.”
Su Xuan's expression was a little awkward. When he came out of the kitchen with two large pots of stewed meat, everyone surrounded him again.
"Do you want to try it?"
he asked.
"I don't want to."
Tong Xiangyu and Mo Xiaobei shook their heads in disgust.
Su Xuan didn't stand on ceremony and continued to eat in big mouthfuls. Lao Bai brought a bowl of murky meat soup over.
"Old Bai, how can you drink such a strange thing?”
The way Tong Xiangyu looked at Bai Zhantang changed.
"You're ignorant."
Old Bai rolled his eyes at her, pinched his nose, and gulped down the soup. He even burped.
"Although it smells a little bad, it still smells pretty good.”
As he spoke, he went to get another bowl and muttered to himself,"Two bowls is enough. If you drink too much, you won't be able to sleep tonight.”
"You guys really don't want to drink?"
he asked.
"I don't want to drink."
The three of them shook their heads.
"This is a great tonic."
Lao Bai grinned." It's filled with precious herbs, such as hundred-year-old ginseng, Chinese Knotweed, Vermilion Fruit, and so on. Drinking it will strengthen your body and nourish your skin."”
Upon hearing this, Tong Xiangyu and the other two immediately ran to the kitchen. In the end, one person got half a bowl and pinched his nose to drink it.
It wasn't as bad as he had imagined. It only had a slightly bitter taste. Other than that, it was normal.
"I feel warm all over.”
Tong Xiangyu put down her bowl and said in surprise.
"Me too."
Mo Xiaobei nodded.
"Half a bowl is enough. If you drink any more, you'll have a nosebleed.”
Lao Bai teased.
Under Su Xuan's gluttonous mouth, half a fan of pork and an entire lamb were finished in less than an hour.
"So comfortable."
The hunger disappeared. He poured himself a cup of old wine and lay on the bamboo chair, enjoying the night breeze.
Tong Xiangyu and the other two, who had drunk half a bowl of meat soup, were already extremely sleepy. They went back to their rooms to sleep.
It was late at night, and the rain was getting heavier. There was the faint sound of thunder. Su Xuan got up, wrote down a recipe, and handed two gold ingots to Lao Bai.
"Old Bai, you might have to go to the Guangyang Prefecture to buy the herbs on this prescription.”
Bai Zhantang took the paper and looked at it. It was filled with all kinds of precious medicinal herbs. The Seven Heroes Town definitely could not gather them.
"No problem."
He nodded." I'll make a trip to Guangyang Prefecture tomorrow morning. I'll definitely be able to buy it back tonight."”
"Thanks."
Su Xuan chuckled.
"Why are you being so polite?"
Lao Bai shook his head.
He walked out of the inn and returned to Su Xuan through the wind and rain. He continued cultivating the Wedding Dress Divine Art in seclusion. Due to the overpowering zhenqi, his physique had to be strong. Not only did he have to endure the torment of the lightning and fire, but he also had to convert his blood and Qi into the Wedding Dress zhenqi.
Therefore, he had to supplement his body with food and medicine to speed up his cultivation. Su Xuan did not want to waste his time cultivating the Wedding Dress Divine Art.
Thus, he would be sucked dry.
After taking a bath, he sat down cross-legged and continued to breathe in and out his zhenqi. He circulated his zhenqi according to the second level of the mental cultivation method.
The next evening, Lao Bai and Big Mouth brought over two huge food boxes. They were all beef stewed with medicinal herbs.
And every day after that
As for Su Xuan, his cultivation speed had also increased by leaps and bounds. In five days, he had reached the second level of the Wedding Dress Divine Art.
Half a month later, he would step into the third level.
After a month, he would step into the fourth level.
Two months later, the Wedding Dress Divine Art reached the fifth level.
Four months later, the Wedding Dress Divine Art reached the sixth level.
In the blink of an eye, half a year had passed. It was another winter. The snow was heavy, and the mountains were white. It was a bleak scene.
In the Su residence, be it the front yard, the backyard, or the middle yard, they were all covered in thick snow.
Because the pond was filled with underground water, it did not freeze. The fish swimming in it swam through the water grass.
this day
Su Xuan woke up from his cultivation once again, and a hint of disappointment appeared in his eyes. The Wedding Dress Divine Art was stuck at the peak of the sixth level, unable to break through to the seventh level.
However, the sixth level of the Wedding Dress Divine Art was already comparable to the inner energy of the seventh level of the Vajra Mixed Energy Art.
Furthermore, because he had switched to the Wedding Dress Divine Art, Su Xuan's zhenqi had far exceeded the range of the sixth stage of the Wedding Dress Divine Art.
In his dantian, Genuine Qi was circulating, and the faint sound of thunder and fire reverberated. Even the turbid air he exhaled made crackling sounds.
However, to bear such a terrifying wedding dress true qi, the pain he had to endure was far beyond the ordinary sixth realm.
If he hadn't cultivated the Indestructible Body of Vajra, he would have frowned as well. This was similar to the Kongtong Sect's Seven Wounds Fist.
If he wanted to hurt the enemy, he had to hurt himself first. If he wanted to activate the internal energy of the Wedding Dress Divine Art, he had to first be able to bear such overbearing true energy.
Su Xuan chose the most difficult cultivation method. He wanted to use his strong physique and willpower to conquer the Wedding Dress True Qi.
It wasn't to rely on imparting strength or scattering strength to cultivate again. Only in this way would the internal strength cultivated be the most domineering.
With the Wedding Dress Divine Art combined with the Tyrant Sword Art, the power that could be unleashed was absolutely unimaginable.
He withdrew his zhenqi into his dantian and removed the Green Bamboo Sword from the wall. As he walked out of the small building, heavy snow fell from the sky. The courtyard was filled with thick snow.
There were also a few lifelike snowmen on the path. It was obvious that Mo Xiaobei had built them.
He leaped into the air and climbed onto the martial arts stage. He unsheathed his long sword, and the biting cold sword wind blew away the snow on the stage.
He channeled the Wedding Dress Genuine Qi into the Green Bamboo Sword. The original green color disappeared and was replaced by the faint lightning and fire energy.
"Tsk!"
The long sword slashed horizontally, and the thunder and fire sword qi erupted. It tore through the air and slashed at the body of a Vajra Bronze Man.
"Bang!"
The bronze statue that weighed thousands of kilograms exploded instantly and turned into dust. Even Su Xuan himself had not expected such a terrifying power.
"Not bad, not bad."
He grinned.
Only such an overbearing Wedding Dress Divine Art could match his Tyrant Sword Art.
Su Xuan apologized. He didn't remember cultivating this cultivation technique.
A three-foot-long green bamboo sword burst out with terrifying sword qi on the martial arts stage. He was quickly fusing the wedding dress true qi into his sword technique.
He practiced his swordsmanship over and over again, and even the inn next door could hear the thunderclaps when he activated the Wedding Dress Genuine Qi.
"Old Bai, what's going on? Is there still thunder on such a snowy day?”
Tong Xiangyu, who was warming herself by the fire at the table, asked in confusion.
The white-haired old man, who was busy settling accounts, said without raising his head,"There's no sound of thunder. You must have heard wrongly.”
As soon as he finished speaking, a bang came from the next room.
"Listen, it was just now."
"Why would there be thunder in the middle of winter? It must be some child setting off firecrackers.”
"My Little Su, why haven't you come out yet?”
Old Bai was dizzy from calculating. He could read, write, and count, but he looked at the dense lines of accounts on the account book.
He couldn't make any mistakes, so he could only calculate it over and over again. Old White couldn't help but wail.
