Chapter 200 The Female Immortal Cultivator Wasteful 6
The Tianying Tournament is a competition held by the aristocratic families of the Tianxuan Continent every hundred years. Its superficial significance is probably to show off one's own descendants.
Behind the scenes, of course, they were dividing the cake of the declining families.
The Tianying competition is divided into two parts: the Jindan stage for those under 20 years old, and the Yuanying stage for those under 50 years old.
The requirements for participating are also very simple, that is, the husband contracted by each participating woman must have a cultivation level of the Golden Core Stage.
If your cultivation level is too low, you'll be wasting your time. If your husband's cultivation level is too high, it won't show off the excellence of the women competing, so there's no need for that.
The preliminary round is divided into three areas: South, Central and North. Lincheng, where Lincheng is located, belongs to the South District of Tianxuan Continent.
Lin Ruan took Gu Lianxing, Chu Zhezhi, Shuang Wuchen and Luo Yunzhen through two teleportation arrays and finally arrived at Lancheng, the venue for the southern zone of the Tianying Tournament preliminaries.
Lancheng is about the size of five Linchengs. When you enter Lancheng, you can feel a simple yet lively atmosphere.
The terrain in the city is flat, with many wide bluestone roads crisscrossing each other, and the gaps between every two bluestone slabs are filled with low-level beast pill fragments.
When walking on it, you can slightly feel the fluctuations of spiritual energy coming from the soles of your shoes.
The city has a well-developed water system, with clear streams running through the city.
A sturdy wooden bridge spans the stream. The material of the bridge is taken from the black iron wood that is unique to Lancheng and grown in the nearby mountains and forests. Although it has experienced wind and rain, it remains as tough as ever due to the characteristics of the black iron wood itself.
The Lin family also had a branch house in Lancheng. After the family members were settled, Lin Ruan took Gu Lianxing and the other three out for a stroll.
The five people strolled along the streets of Lancheng, and soon they saw a large restaurant with a large crowd of people in front of it and the aroma of wine in the air.
Lin Ruan walked towards the restaurant, with Gu Lianxing and others following closely behind.
Entering the restaurant, the interior was elegantly decorated, with tables and chairs neatly arranged. The waiter immediately greeted the guests warmly upon seeing them coming in, and led them to a private room on the second floor.
Lin Ruan casually glanced at the menu and found that it included Lancheng's specialty, vinegar-cooked catfish. Out of curiosity, she ordered this dish and also asked for a few seasonal spiritual vegetables and a pot of spiritual wine.
Soon, the dishes and wine were served.
The dish of vinegar fish was bright red and exuded an alluring aroma. Lin Ruan picked up a piece of fish and put it in his mouth, expecting it to be delicious, but he frowned instantly.
The taste was really hard to describe, just like the West Lake vinegar fish she had eaten in her previous life. The sweet and sour taste was too strong, covering up the deliciousness of the fish itself.
Gu Lianxing noticed Lin Ruan's strange expression and asked with concern, "Wife, is this fish not to your taste?"
Lin Ruan shook her head helplessly: "This vinegar fish is famous, but I really can't appreciate it." As she said that, she put down her chopsticks.
Although Chu Zhezhi, Shuang Wuchen and Luo Yunzhen did not pick up their chopsticks, they guessed from Lin Ruan's reaction that the fish might not taste good.
However, they still served quietly, picking up food and pouring wine for Lin Ruan.
Lin Ruan picked up the wine glass and took a sip of the spirit wine, trying to dilute the strange taste that remained in his mouth.
"Okay, aren't you hungry? Since you're here, you might as well try the specialties of Lancheng." Lin Ruan said with a smile.
Everyone tactfully picked up their chopsticks and took a bite of the vinegar fish. Seeing their faces wrinkle up one by one, Lin Ruan finally laughed out loud.
After dinner, Lin Ruan took the four husbands to visit Duobao Pavilion.
Duobao Pavilion is located in the prosperous area of Lancheng. From a distance, the pavilion looks magnificent, and the front door is bustling with people coming and going.
"Lan City is famous for its several unique spiritual woods. The Duobao Pavilion here belongs to the Lan family, and most of the items sold there are wooden spiritual artifacts." Chu Zhezhi whispered to Lin Ruan.
"Really? Then let's go take a look."
Walking into Lingbao Pavilion, the first floor hall is filled with all kinds of treasures, shining brightly and dazzling.
The shelves around are filled with various objects made of spiritual wood, including spiritual wood combs that emit a soft glow, which are said to nourish the soul with long-term use; there are also small ornaments carved from spiritual wood, which are exquisitely shaped and contain a certain amount of spiritual power fluctuations.
The magic tools are arranged according to the yellow level, mysterious level and earth level, and the prices are also from low to high.
As for the Heavenly Rank? They are to remain in the master's house, so why would they be sold?
Lin Ruan only glanced at the yellow-grade and black-grade magic weapons, then quickly moved his eyes away and focused his attention on the earth-grade magic weapons.
The waiter who was following beside her smiled even more happily when she saw this, and she couldn't wait to introduce each item to her dear customer.
"Look, Immortal! This robe is woven from the jade willow branches that are unique to our Lan City. The collar and cuffs of the robe are embroidered with spiritual patterns. These embroidery contains defensive formations that can withstand various spells and physical attacks..."
"Don't underestimate this simple robe. Once it's bound to you, it can be transformed into any style you desire. This is our shop's most valuable treasure. There's only one like it in all of Lancheng."
"Really? Then I'll take it." When Lin Ruan heard "only one", she could no longer hide her love for spending money.
What? A wooden bracelet that could speed up cultivation and double as a melee weapon, spinning rapidly and slicing through enemy defenses?
Sounds suitable for Gu Lianxing, buy it!
There are fire runes engraved on the bow, and it is a long-range attack weapon that flashes with fire when the bow is drawn?
what is it call?
Red Sangyan Crystal Bow!
The name sounds suitable for Chu Zhezhi, so I bought it!
Then we have to buy one for Shuang Wuchen and Luo Yunzhen respectively. We can't favor one over the other.
The waiter just happened to introduce: "The Jade Willow Spirit Crystal Chain...is mainly used to restrain enemies."
"Liu Tan barrier bead. When a cultivator injects spiritual energy into the barrier bead... a defensive barrier with a diameter of ten feet will quickly unfold around it..."
Lin Ruan nodded and said, "I want this and the bracelet next to it."
Waiter:!!!!!!!!!!!!
Who is this sucker who is giving me money? ! !
"Sincerely offer 63,000 high-grade spirit stones."
Lin Ruan threw a Qiankun bag on the table and put on the space ring given by Duobao Pavilion. Inside the space ring were the five spiritual treasures she had just bought.
Lin Ruan did not hesitate and handed the items she had chosen for the five husbands directly to them. She gave the bracelet to Shuang Wuchen and the barrier bead to Luo Yunzhen.
Regardless of their expressions, they continued shopping towards the next store.
"Three brothers, this..." Luo Yunzhen said in a low voice while holding the box.
Chu Zhezhi put the item into his ring and said, "Since it's a gift from my wife, I'll just accept it. Why don't you hurry up and follow me?"
Luo Yunzhen nodded slightly and quickly put the box away. When they caught up with Lin Ruan, Lin Ruan was paying spirit stones in front of an old man's stall, on which were placed some strange-looking objects.
When we got closer, we saw that they were some ingenious mechanical beasts that could move on their own.
The old man took the spirit stone and left without even taking the linen cloth used to cover the floor.
Gu Lianxing, Chu Zhezhi, Shuang Wuchen, and Luo Yunzhen:...
Did my wife buy all these things?
Lin Ruan just put her hands on those things, and even the linen disappeared without a trace.
Gu Lianxing, Chu Zhezhi, Shuang Wuchen and Luo Yunzhen: It seems so, my wife bought all these things.
After spending a large sum of spirit stones, Lin Ruan happily took the three of them back to the Lin family villa.
Only after entering Lin Ruan's yard did the four of them relax a little. They spoke sweet words one after another, saying how flattered they were to receive the spiritual treasure from Lin Ruan, which made Lin Ruan smile from ear to ear.
What is the purpose of spending money?
Isn’t it all for happiness?
Lin Ruan left Chu Zhezhi to serve her tonight.
"Tell me, you look at me from time to time when you go out. What do you want to ask of me?"
Lin Ruan leaned back in the bathtub with her eyes closed, feeling the pressure on her shoulders, sometimes light and sometimes heavy.
"My dear wife... this place is not far from Chu City. After the preliminary round, can I go to the Chu family to see my father? When we made the contract, my mother was very angry and kicked me out. I am worried that my mother will embarrass me."
Lin Ruan's voice seemed a little ethereal in the steam: "I went to see it, and then what?"
"What?" Chu Zhezhi didn't understand what Lin Ruan meant.
"I say, you go see your father, and then what? Even if he's being tortured by your mother, what can you do? Can you break the contract, or kill him with a sword to free him?"
"Even if you leave behind spirit stones, a few bottles of elixirs, or even give him the spirit fluid I gave you, without your mother's consent, can he use it? Would he dare to use it?"
"Why did you ask your mother to forgive him? Just because I dote on you? You think your mother can control you by controlling your father, so can she control me by controlling you?"
"Do you even know what you are?"
Chu Zhezhi's face turned pale instantly, his legs gave way and he knelt on the ground. He said in a trembling voice with tears in his eyes, "My wife, please calm down. I was confused for a moment and didn't think things through. I shouldn't have made such an unreasonable request and upset you."
"This servant is fully aware of his humble status. He owes his present position to the favor of his wife. He should not harbor illusions and try to violate the rules and interfere in the affairs of the Chu family. Please punish me, my wife. This servant has no complaints."
Lin Ruan slowly opened her eyes and looked coldly at Chu Zhezhi who was kneeling on the ground. Water vapor swirled in front of her eyes, but it could not hide the coldness in her eyes at all.
"Since you know your own status, you should do your duty. I dote on you, but that doesn't mean you can lose your sense of propriety in front of me."
After a moment of silence, Lin Ruan said in a stern tone, "Since this is your first offense, I will teach you a lesson."
After saying that, he took out a white jade cup, waved his hand, filled it with water, and placed it on Chu Huaiyu's head.
"Don't let the water spill," she said.
The power of the contract was running rampant in Chu Zhezhi's body. He wanted to scream, to curl up, to kowtow and beg for mercy, but he could only grit his teeth and endure it desperately, not even allowing the slightest tremor in his body.
That is my wife's cup.
The wife said that the water must not be spilled.
He could only maintain this posture, looking down desperately, not daring to look directly at Lin Ruan.
Trying to use a calm and gentle voice, he said, "Thank you for your guidance, my wife. I will follow your instructions, reflect on my mistakes, and never make the same mistake again."
He knew he was wrong, very wrong.
He couldn't save his father.
He couldn't even save himself.
