Chapter 713: Strange Spices
After the decision of the four people, they decided to make Li Xuedong one of the judges, which also made him the first person in history to hold both the positions of contestant and judge, and he was also the youngest judge
What's more, Li Xuedong is not a disciple of any sect of Guwu, and he is relatively able to make a relatively fair judgment.
Because Li Xuedong did not compete on the first day, he sat on the judges' bench and watched the duel between the disciples of various sects.
There was nothing to be gained in the duel between the Yellow Rank disciples, and there were occasionally a few evenly matched matches, but in Li Xuedong's opinion, it was like that.
For the whole day, Li Xuedong almost sat on the judges and yawned.
The decisions of the game are basically decided by the referees, and the referees of each ring are elders of the Great Gate Sect, and their strength is around the ground level or half-step ground level.
Although the judges have declared that they want to be fair and just, in practice, these judges are more inclined to the disciples of their own sect.
If there are no disciples of their own sect in the ring duel, then they will gravitate towards the disciples of the main sect in order to curry favor with each other.
Unless you knock the opponent down with a clear advantage, you will encounter an unfair judgment from the referee, and such a judgment is especially unfavorable to the disciples of those small sects.
Although Li Xuedong has seen a few unfair judgments, he also pretended not to see them, after all, as long as he didn't do it too obviously, Li Xuedong didn't want to continue to offend those ancient martial arts sects.
At present, Li Xuedong has already had a conflict with the Flying Dragon Valley, the first major sect of the Huaxia Ancient Martial Realm, and the second major sect, Shuiyue Villa, if it weren't for his own strength, I'm afraid he would have become a corpse by now.
After the first day of the tournament, a total of 90 players, including the 10 seeded players who had been previously selected, advanced to the second day's elimination round.
Xia Xiyan and Liu Yuxin did not surprisingly enter the top 90.
Fortunately, Xia Xiyan and Li Xuedong advanced to the second day of the competition, Yu Shuyue took them to a very famous restaurant on Penglai Island for dinner.
Yu Shuyue introduced the hotel in front of him, although the scale is not very large, but the decoration is extremely clean and fresh, and more importantly, the owner of the hotel is very beautiful, a big beauty.
"Shuyue, you're here!"
When Yu Shuyue walked into the hotel with everyone, he saw a woman wearing a red apron greet her.
The woman is about thirty years old, dignified and beautiful, and her figure is exceptionally good, and the red apron is easily tied to her, but it can't hide her plump figure at all.
Yu Shuyue saw the woman in red coming over, and hurriedly greeted her, she pulled the woman in red and introduced: "Sister Juan, these two are my friends, they are ancient martial arts cultivators, and they have all advanced to tomorrow's knockout round, so I will bring them over tonight to have a good meal and recuperate." ”
Later, Yu Shuyue introduced the woman in red to Li Xuedong and Xia Xiyan: "Brother Li, Sister Xiyan, this is the proprietress of Fumanlou and the chef of the restaurant, the dishes she cooks are quite delicious, I guarantee that after you taste it, you will definitely praise it!"
Li Xuedong and Xia Xiyan stepped forward to greet Sister Juan.
"It turns out that you are friends of Shuyue, then follow me upstairs, there is a private room upstairs. Sister Juan expressed her enthusiasm and personally took Li Xuedong and others upstairs.
"Brother Li, Sister Xiyan, this private room upstairs was specially left by Sister Juan, and it was prepared for those very important people. When going upstairs, Yu Shuyue quietly turned around, proudly introducing the particularity of the private room upstairs, and her little chin was tilted high.
Sister Juan led the way in front, Yu Shuyue and Xia Xiyan followed closely, and Li Xuedong walked behind.
When going upstairs, Li Xuedong glanced at the guests who were dining downstairs with his spiritual eye, and found that many of them were ancient martial arts cultivators.
But looking at their expressions when eating, there seemed to be something abnormal, as if the dishes on that plate were delicacies from the mountains and seas, and they stuffed them into their mouths in large gulps.
Li Xuedong glanced at those dishes, and found that those dishes were a little abnormal.
"Strange, how could such a thing be here?!"
Li Xuedong stared at the dishes on the plate, and couldn't help frowning, and at the same time turned his eyes to Sister Juan, who was leading the way in front, and his eyes narrowed slightly.
Sister Juan was still very enthusiastic, she brought Li Xuedong and others into the box, and then took out the menu for them to order.
Yu Shuyue took the menu and put it aside, and said with a smile: "Sister Juan, there are three of us, you just need to cook a few good dishes, we don't pick any." ”
Seeing that the other two had no objections, Sister Juan nodded and asked them to drink some tea first, and the dishes would be served immediately.
After Sister Juan left the box, Li Xuedong turned his head to look at Yu Shuyue and asked, "You look very familiar with Sister Juan?"
Yu Shuyue proudly raised her little face and said: "Of course, Sister Juan has been running a restaurant here for almost five years, I was in the rebellious period at that time, and I often quarreled with my father, and then I ran out." Until one time I ran out, I didn't have any money with me, and I was hungry and uncomfortable, so I happened to come to Sister Juan's restaurant. Sister Juan was about to close for a break, but when she saw a girl walking on the street in the middle of the night, she was afraid that I would be in danger, so she asked me to go to her shop to eat something. ”
Yu Shuyue seemed to be reminiscing about the good times, with a happy smile on her face: "Since then, Sister Juan and I have known each other, and I have introduced all my friends to her restaurant for dinner." ”
"I see. ”
Li Xuedong nodded thoughtfully, deep in thought.
He couldn't be mistaken, what he saw in the dish was indeed Soul Herb.
Li Xuedong once saw the record of fragrant soul grass in the ancient medicine of the eight walls left by the medicine king, which is a special spice herb, only a small piece of it can make the food delicious, and there are no toxic side effects, and it can even make people's stomach and intestines better, it is a good Chinese herbal medicine.
Of course, the Soul Herb is not a side effect at all, to ordinary people, it is a poisonous and harmless spice, but to cultivators, it is poison.
Fragrant Soul Grass lives in a cold place where spiritual energy is scarce, and when it comes into contact with a cultivator's body, it will devour the cultivator's spiritual energy, at least it can make a cultivator's cultivation stagnate, and at worst, it can even abolish his cultivation and completely degenerate into an ordinary person.
When Li Xuedong was going upstairs just now, he found that many of the diners below were ancient warriors, and their dishes were mixed with fragrant soul herbs.
Li Xuedong didn't know if Juan Wei knew the effect of Soul Herb, and if she didn't know the side effects of Soul Herb, then he had to stop her from continuing to use Soul Herb immediately.
If Sister Juan knew about the side effects of Soul Herb, but still added it, then he couldn't sit idly by.
