Chapter 177 Appetite determines strength
"This is Qinghu Peak's Peak Master Hu Mengxuan, and our two friends Hu Buying and Hu Mingyue."
The leader of Qingzhu Peak pointed to the right side, towards the three female cultivators next to Wang Qiye.
I have long heard of the great name of Qinghu Peak. The Zuixiang Tower, which can compete with Yihongyuan, is not just a name.
"I've met three seniors."
Wang Qiye boldly glanced at the moment of bowing his head. It was indeed as good as its reputation. Even the skin of the peak master was so delicate that it could be blown away. The reason why he dared to do so was because he was really curious and also because of his lust.
"Forgive me."
A gorgeous and beautiful lady opened her red lips and said with a smile.
Her pretty face was fair and rosy, and her eyes were charming and beautiful, as if she was born with endless spring in her, like a peach blossom in full bloom.
Her delicate body was wrapped in a simple dress, with her snow-white, round shoulders exposed and her black, shiny hair spread behind her, making her look particularly suggestive.
If it weren't for the introduction by the Peak Master, Wang Qiye would never have believed that this mature and beautiful woman in her twenties would be the Master of a Peak. He didn't know how she managed to maintain such good health.
"Thank you, senior."
When he raised his head, Wang Qiye was still amazed by her beauty.
Just as Wang Qiye continued to be fascinated by the leader of Qinghu Peak, he suddenly felt a greedy gaze and looked to the side as if reflexively.
But who knew that the one who greeted him was indeed a pretty girl. There was no greed in her eyes. Instead, they were as clear as water and a little shy.
She had an oval face of classical beauty, with picturesque eyebrows and eyes, and a pair of beautiful black and white eyes under her long eyelashes. Her plain face was not made up at all, and she had no other decorations on her body, except for a pair of pearls inlaid on her small earlobes.
If it weren't for the high slit collar on her chest, which was about to burst through the lapels, revealing a large area of snow-white skin, Wang Qiye would have fallen into it. Her watery eyes alone would have been enough to make Wang Qiye unable to take his eyes away.
"You young people should have common topics, so add each other as friends."
The beautiful and elegant woman did not blame him for his rude look. She secretly sighed that although this boy was lustful, he could actually tell which one was younger. This was certainly due to the charm exuded by Hu Mingyue, but it was also the common problem of lustful people, that they liked 20-year-olds.
Wang Qiye's eyes never left the girl's collar, as if he was worried that her clothes would burst and she would be exposed. The girl's face flushed. At this moment, it was as if another person was controlling Wang Qiye. He grabbed the jade pendant on his waist and stretched it out.
As the two of them were sitting next to each other, the girl also grabbed the jade pendant, stretched out her delicate jade hand from under the table, sent a gust of fragrant wind, and covered him with a jade pendant.
A flash of white light appeared, and the two added each other as friends. However, when the jade pendant was separated, a finger as smooth as water passed across Wang Qiye's palm. At that moment, it was like an electric current that pierced Wang Qiye's heart, and hot blood flowed out.
"This is Qingyao Peak's leader Duanmu Yan, and our two friends Duanmu Qi and Duanmu Lan."
The voice of Chao Qiyong, the leader of Qingzhu Peak, sounded like thunder in Wang Qiye's ears, pulling him back from the ditch. Wang Qiye then realized that he had lost his composure in such an occasion and made a fool of himself. He took a deep breath, but was dizzy from the two fragrances on both sides.
"Meet the three seniors."
Hu Mingyue's laughter was so pleasant to the ears that Wang Qiye couldn't help but want to peek at her again.
"Forgive me."
It was not until he heard the direction from which the voice came that Wang Qiye looked up and saw that it was indeed Qing Leifeng and his group. He could not help but feel extremely embarrassed. Even though Wang Qiye had more than 30 years of experience, his face turned red at this moment. He was really embarrassed for Blue Star.
"Thank you, senior."
At this moment, Wang Qiye didn't dare to raise his head, for fear of making a fool of himself again after seeing Duanmu Lan's face clearly.
"You can also add my youngster as a friend. She will be responsible for your body-building herbs in the future."
The frail old Duanmu Yan did not care about Wang Qiye's embarrassment. She just lamented that this boy was too lustful. He was seduced the first time he saw the girl from Qinghu Peak. He had no self-control at all. How could he overcome this inner demon in the future?
A white jade pendant flew right in front of him, and Wang Qiye realized it belatedly. He took out his own jade pendant and covered it with it.
In a flash of light, the two of them added each other as friends. Wang Qiye didn't even know what the other person looked like, and the three names Duanmu Lan appeared in his address book.
"Okay, now that everyone is here, let's serve the food."
Chao Qiyong, the leader of Qingzhu Peak, clapped his hands twice, and the attendants filed out. Soon, the table that was empty just now was filled with all kinds of rare treasures.
Enticed by the aroma, Wang Qiye finally had the courage to raise his head. Although he had not yet recognized the aroma, the aroma of the food rushed into his nostrils, making him hungry. His body was like a beggar who had been hungry for ten years, barking violently. Wang Qiye didn't know what kind of willpower he had to resist the urge to pounce on the table immediately.
The raised young face was met with a man as tall as a mountain.
The rough lines outlined a big man about two meters tall. He had a big grin and a slight smile, which made his thick eyebrows and big eyes look very ugly.
"Young man, your strength depends on how much you eat. The more you eat, the stronger you will be."
As he spoke, Chao Qiyong grabbed a piece of monster meat with bones on the plate and bit off half of it. The bone made a crunching sound in his mouth, and he did not even let go of the bone.
Wang Qiye couldn't bear it any longer, and instinctively grabbed a piece of monster meat with bones from the plate and started to chew it wildly.
No matter it was monster meat or fruit, steamed or boiled, after taking a bite, the restless power would burn in Wang Qiye's body like fire, and then transport the strong energy to all parts of the body. Wang Qiye hadn't experienced this feeling of power and fullness for a long time, and only felt it when he drank Xiaoyao Sanren for the first time.
The attendants kept pulling off the empty plates and putting new food on the table. Everyone at the table was silent, only focusing on the food in front of them.
Dinner was finally over, and Wang Qiye felt as if his whole body was on fire. He felt as if his body had been blown up. At this time, he was already drowsy from the heat, and couldn't even open his eyes. He lay on the table in a daze and fell into a deep sleep.
After sleeping for an unknown amount of time, Wang Qiye slowly woke up. Although his eyes were open, his expression was still blank. It was only after a while that his eyes regained focus.
This was a bedroom that was gorgeous to the point of luxury, with a bed that could sleep ten people. The dome was inlaid with gemstones of various colors, and the light dazzled Wang Qiye. Whether it was the carvings and patterns on the furniture or the glittering embellishments on the fabrics, they were all top-grade jade and agate.
The body was buried in the soft blanket, so soft that it made people not want to get up.
Wang Qiye, who was still in a daze, felt itchy all over. He reached out and scratched hard, and a layer of black skin came out. He woke up immediately with fright. Only then did he realize that his whole body was covered with black sticky substances, which had dried and scabbed.
Next to the bedroom was the hot spring. The huge hot spring could easily accommodate four people. No one knew why it was built in this luxurious bedroom. Steam came out of it, and mist gathered in the room. It was like a barrier, and the mist could never get through the two pillars.
Wang Qiye smelled the water vapor, and like a possessed person, he struggled to jump off the bed, stuck his head into the hot spring, and drank the water in big gulps, which made his dry and burning body feel better. At this moment, he smelled the disgusting smell on the body, and quickly took off his clothes and plunged into the hot spring.
The hot spring was a bit scalding hot, but Wang Qiye could barely bear it. He scrubbed the dirt attached to his body vigorously. The red and swollen new flesh seemed to be cooked in this scalding hot spring pool. He began to use his spiritual sense to check the state of his body. His spiritual power actually increased. Although it was unexpected, it was indeed a good thing. Physical body... Wang Qiye moved his wrist and punched an empty fist. He actually felt that his physical strength had increased significantly, at least half as much as before.
At this time, Wang Qiye was finally fully awake, and his physical discomfort was almost gone. He now understood what had happened. The peak master's dinner was made from some kind of monster, and the energy contained in the food was astonishingly large. Wang Qiye ate too much, and as a result, digesting the food almost exceeded the limit that his body could bear.
Just by looking at the changes in his body, Wang Qiye knew that this meal cost a lot of spirit stones. In addition to training, physical cultivators really need to eat the meat of this kind of monster to nourish themselves. The lowest nourishing meal in Tianxiang Tower is 500 spirit stones for four dishes and one soup, and this is just a meal. Wang Qiye has never been willing to eat it. He never thought that after this nourishing meal, his years of practice finally borne fruit and he actually cleansed his hair and marrow.
Is this the peak master's reward for me for mastering Lingxi Yishan? If so, the reward is too generous. I didn't expect the sect to attach so much importance to Lingxi Yishan. It seems that my life is not so easy to lose.
Wang Qiye, relieved, climbed out of the hot spring, dived back in, swam comfortably for a while, and then came ashore. He shook his body, dispelled all the water droplets on his body, put on his clothes, and went to the bedroom window to look outside. From here, he could see the bamboo sea below. He should still be at the top of the peak, in the peak master's mansion.
At this time, the moon was rising, but Wang Qiye was full of energy and couldn't fall asleep. So he opened the door and found an acquaintance meditating outside the door. It was the one who brought him up the mountain.
"I have offended you before, Senior. I hope you will atone for your sins."
Wang Qiye quickly bowed.
"No problem. I didn't expect Junior Brother to wake up in just three days. I thought it would take at least five days." The attendant stood up and
"Have three days passed?" Wang Qiye was surprised.
The attendant nodded.
"Did the Peak Master give any instructions?" At this moment, what Wang Qiye was most concerned about was how the Peak Master would treat him in the future.
"The Peak Master only told you to practice hard and not let Qingzhu Peak down."
Upon hearing this, Wang Qiye's expression did not change, but his heart was slightly moved. From what the Peak Master meant, could it be that his current strength was too low, and he would be entrusted with important tasks when his realm was higher?
The attendant continued, "The peak master also ordered that if you wake up, he can take you back down the mountain."
"Well, let's go."
Wang Qiye's mind raced. At least, he was in the foundation-building stage, with low skills, so he still had some breathing space. Should he delay at this stage? But he couldn't delay for too long, otherwise he would have to keep going when the whip came down.
Before Wang Qiye could finish his thought, the two of them flew out of the mansion on clouds.
The mountain peaks at night were particularly cold and quiet, and there were unknown insects and animals chirping below. The cool mountain wind blew through Wang Qiye's short hair, causing his neck to shrink into his collar. But when he thought of the electric current at the dinner, Wang Qiye felt hot all over. "The young lady from Qinghu Peak is indeed worthy of her reputation."
