Chapter 305 Successful foundation building
Lu Bai picked up the tea that Chen Yingjie had just poured and drank it all in one gulp. Then, as if he was not satisfied, he held the rosewood teapot and drank it gulply.
"Huh!" After drinking half a pot of tea, Lu Bai finally stopped and sighed with contentment.
He put down the teapot, saw Chen Yingjie's hand half raised in the air, and smiled awkwardly.
"Hehe! Don't blame me, Senior Brother Chen. I have been looking for people to talk to and get information all day. I haven't had a drop of water. I almost died of thirst!"
"Oh?! Did you find out anything?" Chen Yingjie knew that Bai Yaoyao asked Lu Bai to find out what happened on the day when Canglan's shopkeeper was arrested. Now when he heard Lu Bai talking about serious matters, he didn't want to pursue the matter of him stealing his spiritual tea, so he asked hurriedly.
"Ahem!" Lu Bai sat down on the stool next to Chen Yingjie, leaned forward, and said in a low voice, "I found three people who were drinking tea in the lobby at the time. They told me how the third elder and the guards he brought came in loudly and said that Canglan colluded with foreign immortals to murder the saint girl. Later, Canglan refuted it, and the guards behind him clamored that Canglan was so arrogant and domineering because of the foreign immortals, and told me all about the treason."
Lu Bai had good eloquence and a good memory. He described the situation vividly.
"That's it. Shopkeeper Canglan had originally agreed to go with the Third Elder, but was stopped by a waiter from the inn, who insisted that the Third Elder was going to carry out a lynching. Then the waiter had an argument with the guards brought by the Third Elder, and the others said that it was the outsiders who disturbed the peace of the Mirage Sea, and that the reason why Shopkeeper Canglan helped the outsiders to murder the Saint was to destroy the mermaids so that they could completely control the Mirage Sea. That's basically the situation."
After recounting the events of the day in one breath, Lu Bai picked up the teacup on the table and drank it all. Then he looked at Chen Yingjie eagerly and said, "Senior Brother Chen! Tell me, is it true that my senior brother is colluding with the shopkeeper Canglan to control the Mirage Sea?"
Chen Yingjie placed one hand on the table, stroking his chin, his eyes flickering.
"It is still unclear who they are colluding with, but your senior brother captured the mermaid saint and wanted to force her to sign the contract. I think he must have some ulterior motive." Chen Yingjie paused, as if he suddenly remembered something, and said to Lu Bai, "You said it was the waiter of the inn who stopped the second elder from taking Canglan away?"
"Yes! Those who witnessed it in the inn told me so. It shouldn't be wrong."
Lu Bai blinked, "What's wrong, Brother Chen, is there something wrong?"
"Humph! Of course not!" Chen Yingjie snorted coldly, "He is just a waiter doing odd jobs in the inn, how dare he stop the elders from arresting people? Moreover, didn't you say that the waiter deliberately said that Canglan, the shopkeeper, had been managing the Renyi Inn for many years and had a close relationship with the immortals. The elders arrested people so indiscriminately, is there any other purpose?"
"That's right!" Lu Bai clapped his hands in amazement, "It sounds like he's adding fuel to the fire! Shopkeeper Canglan has always been nice to the immortals who come and go. When several brothers who were resting in the inn heard this, they stood up for him!"
"Then the conflict intensified further. The guards brought by the Third Elder were even more reckless. They said that the disappearance of the Saint Girl was caused by the collaboration between the foreign immortals and the shopkeeper Canglan. They also said that the reason why the Mirage Sea is so unstable now is because the Hongmeng Immortal Realm sends people in for trials every fifty years.
As soon as he said this, everyone instantly became united in hatred of the enemy, which led to the scene where the immortals surrounded the inn to ask for an explanation. It seems that the waiter and the guards are both problematic. They deliberately caused conflicts between the mermaids and the immortals from various sects in the Hongmeng Immortal Realm!"
Chen Yingjie narrowed his eyes, and a light flashed in his eyes, "But what is their purpose in doing this?!"
Seeing Chen Yingjie resting his chin on his hand in deep thought, Lu Bai smacked his lips, asked the waiter to bring some spiritual food, and began to wolf it down.
It was not until Lu Bai finished all the food on the table that Chen Yingjie shuddered and woke up from his thoughts.
He stood up suddenly, with a look of horror on his face.
"I know! They..."
Seeing that the eyes of several people who were drinking tea and resting in the inn were focused on him, Chen Yingjie quickly swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth.
"What? What happened to them?" Lu Bai blinked, not knowing why Chen Yingjie stopped talking halfway, so he opened his mouth to ask.
Chen Yingjie calmed down, but didn't want to say anything more. He just shook his head slightly at Lu Bai and said, "It's okay."
He pursed his lips and said to Lu Bai, "Is there anything else in your room? Go back and clean it up first! Wait for me in the lobby later! I'll go back and see if Junior Sister has woken up from her meditation."
After saying this, without waiting for Lu Bai to react, he disappeared from the spot and returned to the room.
Lu Bai scratched his head and muttered, "Mysterious and weird!"
However, he still obediently returned to his room and packed his things.
Chen Yingjie, who originally wanted to forcibly wake up Bai Yaoyao, felt that the surrounding spiritual energy had returned to normal after returning to the space. At this time, the way Bai Yaoyao clasped her palms together was obviously the ending gesture of the Xuanyuan Qiling Jue.
Since Bai Yaoyao was about to wake up, Chen Yingjie had no choice but to wait patiently.
Sure enough, in less than half a minute, Bai Yaoyao's tightly closed eyes opened.
Seeing the golden light flashing in her eyes, Chen Yingjie opened his mouth in shock and said anxiously, "Ms. Bai...Ms. Bai! What are you doing..."
Bai Yaoyao felt the spiritual power in his body and grinned, "Hey, Brother Chen! You read that right! I just broke through the Qi Refining Stage and successfully established my foundation!"
"How is this possible!" Chen Yingjie's face was full of disbelief. "When we separated this morning, you were only at the third level of Qi Refining. Now you're telling me that you've reached the Foundation Establishment stage?!"
Bai Yaoyao: "Yeah! I didn't expect that! After meeting Qi Meng, I was about to go out to find Lu Bai to ask for information, when I felt a heat in my dantian, and then all the spiritual energy in this mustard seed space rushed towards me. In order to avoid exploding and dying, I quickly entered into a state of meditation and practiced the Xuanyuan Qiling Jue, and then I just woke up."
Bai Yaoyao chuckled, "I didn't expect that as soon as I woke up, I found that my spiritual power was soaring, and my cultivation had reached the initial stage of foundation building!"
"You're still laughing!" Chen Yingjie finally came back to his senses from his shock. He growled, his face dark as ink, "Whether it's martial arts or cultivation, steady and steady progress is the right way. Now you've broken through several small realms in one day. This is not a good thing at all!"
