BXBX NOVEL Chapter 403
Chapter 403: Chapter two, the old man (first update)
Ye Sheng’s speed was extraordinary, but it took him more than ten days to reach the southwest region.
Ye Sheng was in the emptiness realm now, and his speed was completely different from that of the golden core stage.
More than ten days in the emptiness realm was equivalent to a month in the golden core stage.
From this, it could be seen how remote the southwest region was.
The first time Ye Sheng set foot in the southwest region, he noticed that there were too many mountains here
In the southwest region surrounded by mountains, cities were very rare. They were different from the cities in the Central Plains. The cities in the southwest region were all exotic.
Gule city.
This was the first barrier to enter the southwest region, a city of 100,000 people.
In the Central Plains, a city of 100,000 people could only be considered small, like Xianyang, a city of 10 million people.
But in the southwest, this was a big city.
Gule city was the first barrier between the border of the Central Plains and the southwest. There were 100,000 soldiers stationed here.
A big city of 100,000 people had 100,000 soldiers. This meant that there were very few ordinary people.
When Ye Sheng stepped in, he realized that this big city of 100,000 people had a huge flow of people.
At least from Ye Sheng’s point of view, there were more than 200,000 people.
Ye Sheng walked among them and looked left and right. They were all cultivators, and their mouths were all talking about the four great divine beasts.
Just like Ye Sheng, they were all attracted by the four great divine beasts.
Ye Sheng saw an old grandfather in front of him. He was walking with a red face as he muttered to himself.
“This time, I must catch a divine beast and bring it back to make soup. My old bones don’t have many days left to live. I need to eat more delicious food to make my life worthwhile. I’ve eaten all kinds of delicacies, but this divine beast is the only one I haven’t eaten. This time, I want to have a good time.”The old man’s voice was very soft, no one in the surroundings heard him. Only Ye Sheng had sharp ears.
Ye Sheng was speechless when he heard him. Was this divine beast something that you could catch and eat as you pleased?
And even catch and eat it?
Ye Sheng could not help but shake his head. He stared at the old man carefully. With his cultivation of the Xiantian realm, he was not some hidden big shot.
Ye Sheng simply stopped looking and entered gu le city.
In the past, Gu le city did not allow outsiders to enter, but during this period of time, it was very convenient. As long as they did not cause trouble in the city, they could enter and leave freely.
Obviously, they also knew about the four great divine beasts. They understood that many people wanted to enter the southwest region, and Gu le city was the most convenient path.
From Gu le city, one could see the mountains, one layer after another. At a glance, there were endless forests, mountains, and mountains.
If one did not go through Gule city, they would have to cross the mountains, which would definitely waste time. Moreover, no one knew what was in the mountains.
Ye Sheng was not in a hurry. He set off from Gule city like an ordinary expert.
Ye Sheng did not know anything about the situation in the southwest region. He needed to understand it first.
Gule city was just a passerby. After everyone rushed here and rested for a while, they would set off.
There were also people who could not wait to leave Gu le city and enter the mountains in the southwest.
Ye Sheng was not in a hurry about this.
He first stopped at the restaurant in Gu Le City to rest. He ordered wine and dishes, listened to the people around him chatting, and drank alone.
There were many people in the restaurant and there were no empty seats. Ye Sheng was lucky. When he entered, someone wanted to leave and took a seat by the window.
“Little brother, can I share a table with you?”It was the old man he met earlier. He showed a friendly smile and asked Ye Sheng.
“No problem. It is fate that we meet. Let me treat the old man.”Ye Sheng raised his eyebrows. It was fate that they met twice in one day.
“Thank you, little brother. I am really hungry.”The old man didn’t stand on ceremony. He sat down directly and asked the servant to serve the dishes.
Ye Sheng also ordered a few dishes.
“Little brother, how should I address you?”The old man asked.
Ye Sheng said, “We are fated to meet, and we will meet again and again. The old man and I are only meeting for a short time. Why do you need to ask for my name? I Won’t ask for Yours, and you won’t ask for mine.”
The old man’s eyes lit up and said, “Little Brother’s words are quite zen. Then I won’t ask. I’ll call you little brother, and you can call me old man.”
Ye Sheng laughed and poured a glass of wine for the old man.
But the old man said with disdain, “What’s so good about the wine here? It tastes as bad as horse urine. Come and drink this.”
The old man took a purple-gold gourd from his waist and handed it to Ye Sheng.
Ye Sheng reached out and took it. He pulled out the stopper, and instantly, the fragrance wafted through the entire place.
This was the fragrance of the wine, and it immediately attracted the attention of everyone present.
Gulp!
Many wine lovers were so greedy that they swallowed their saliva. They stared at the gourd in Ye Sheng’s hand, all of them staring eagerly.
Ye Sheng also had a look of shock on his face. This wine was too fragrant. Ye Sheng had drunk many good wines, but he had never seen a wine like this. Just by smelling the fragrance, one would be able to draw out one’s craving.
“Brother, what kind of good wine is this?”
“This little brother, I’m willing to fork out a thousand gold coins. I only wish for you to share a cup with me.”
“Yes, a thousand gold coins to share a cup.”
“This wine is too good. I have never seen it like this. I believe that the legendary palace jade liquid is only so-so, right?”
The entire restaurant was in discussion. Some people were eagerly watching.
Ye Sheng looked at these people and laughed in his heart. It was not as if he had never drunk the palace jade liquid before. It could not be compared to this.
“It’s not for sale. This is this little old man’s wine. It’s only for little brother to drink. Don’t even think about it.”The old man said excitedly as he stood up and bared his fangs and brandished his claws.
Many people looked on with regret, but they did not do anything out of the ordinary.
However, some people were extremely greedy. Seeing that the old man was only in the Xiantian realm, Ye Sheng’s realm could not be seen clearly. However, he was still so young, so he should not be a great expert
Bang!
With a muffled sound, three men said with an unfriendly expression, “Old man, our young master has taken a fancy to this wine. I’ll give you a thousand gold coins. Hand over the wine.”
Ye Sheng turned his head to look. These three men were all at the seventh or Eighth Heaven of the Xiantian realm, and the young master they were talking about, a refined scholar, looked at Ye Sheng with an arrogant expression.
“It’s your honor that this young master has taken a fancy to your wine,”the young master said.
Ye Sheng’s face darkened. He picked up a chopstick and directly swung it. “I hate it the most when people show off in front of me. Can’t you just eat your food properly?”
Boom!
In everyone’s eyes, the chopstick flew out and sent the three burly men flying.
The other party was unable to retaliate at all. He was directly sent flying out of the restaurant’s window by Ye Sheng.
The Young Scholar’s face stiffened. He looked at Ye Sheng in disbelief.
His three subordinates were sent flying just like that?
“Now, get out of the window. Otherwise, I won’t let you leave.”Ye Sheng picked up the remaining chopstick.
Scholar young master didn’t say anything and quickly got out of the window. He didn’t care whether he was embarrassed or not. He supported his subordinates and quickly ran away.
In the restaurant, everyone swallowed their saliva. They didn’t dare to look at Ye Sheng anymore, nor did they dare to covet this pot of good wine.
