C15 Drunken Star Manor

At the entrance of the Desolate Valley, Du Qingluo pulled Qi Zhuohao with one hand and Nan Yudia with the other. The three of them stepped on the surging river water and quickly moved forward on the three thousand feet wide Jade Jade River. Only when they stepped on the ground did Qi Zhuohao finally heave a sigh of relief.

To be honest, Qi Zhuohao was very worried that Du Qingluo would throw them into the Jade Jade River. Although he could swim, he could not swim out of the Jade River. Even Nan Yudia who was at the ninth level of Meridian Vessel Transformation would die in the Jade River.

Fortunately, Du Qingluo did not do that. She finally left the damn Desolate Valley. He and Nan Yudia were very happy!

"Nan Yudia, why don't you follow me to the Thousand Searching Sect! I can directly take you under my Afterglow Peak's tutelage!"

Du Qingluo looked at Nan Yudia and looked forward to Nan Yudia's answer. Nan Yudia had already cultivated to the 9th level of Meridian Accumulation at only 15 or 16 years of age. She was a genius. There was no one in Thousand Stars County who could compare with her. She did not want others to snatch Nan Yudia away.

As for Qi Zhuohao, he was just a piece of trash in Du Qingluo's eyes. He was eighteen years old and was close to the age of youth, but he was still a mortal. A person like him could easily be counted as a piece of trash among trash.

"Thank you for Poison Peak Lord's kindness, but I still have something to do. However, I will be participating in Thousand Searching Sect's disciple recruitment test three months later. At that time, Poison Peak Lord will still remember me, and I am willing to be Poison Peak Lord's disciple."

After thinking for a while, Nan Yudia still refused Du Qingluo. First, she really had something to do, and she couldn't follow Du Qingluo to the Thousand Searching Sect. Second, she didn't want to leave Qi Zhuohao behind. If she wanted to join the Thousand Searching Sect, she had to bring Qi Zhuohao along.

In other people's eyes, Qi Zhuohao was a trash, but only Nan Yudia knew that. Qi Zhuohao was a peerless genius, even if he couldn't advance to the Meridian Accumulation First Level within three months. Even if he couldn't enter the Thousand Searching Sect through his own efforts, Nan Yudia still had ways to let him enter the Thousand Searching Sect to cultivate. However, if that happened, Qi Zhuohao would suffer a lot of grievances.

"If that's the case, I will wait for you in the Thousand Searching Sect. Alright, I have something else to attend to, so I will be leaving first. This place is only a hundred miles away from Thousand Stars County. All of you just have to go east."

Du Qingluo sighed. A green furred lion suddenly appeared in front of her. That lion was three meters tall, and its appearance gave Qi Zhuohao a fright. This Du Qingluo actually had a Demonic Beast Mount!

Humans could cultivate, but beasts could. Beasts were divided into Mortal Beast, Demonic Beast, and Divine Beasts. A First Grade Mortal Beast was equivalent to the Meridian Accumulation Realm, and a Second Grade Mortal Beast was equivalent to an Essence Condensation Stage, Third Level Mortal Beast, and Spirit Accepting Stage.

This Azure Lion was a First Grade Demonic Beast, and its realm was equivalent to an Essence Incarnating Expert. The Black Wind Bear that Grandma Meng killed could not withstand a single claw of this Demonic Beast Azure Lion. This was the difference between a Mortal Beast and a Demonic Beast!

Du Qingluo jumped onto the back of the Azure Lion, and the Azure Lion instantly turned into a green light and flew away. That speed was too fast!

Looking at the distant Azure Lion, Qi Zhuohao's heart was filled with shock and yearning. He really hoped that there would be an Azure Lion similar to Du Qingluo's Azure Lion. How cool would that be!

"One day, I will definitely have a Demonic Beast Mount like the Azure Lion!"

Secretly sighing, Qi Zhuohao looked at Nan Yudia and said, "Miss Nan, let's go!"

Nan Yudia retracted her gaze and slowly nodded her head. Du Qingluo's Demonic Beast and Azure Lion. It did not attract much of her attention. She had seen this kind of Demonic Beast Mount many times. If not for her realm being very low, she would have had a Demonic Beast Mount that was more precious than an Azure Lion.

Two days later, Qi Zhuohao and Nan Yudia finally arrived at Thousand Stars County. Looking at the incomparably magnificent and glorious city in front of him, Qi Zhuohao was extremely shocked in his heart. Compared to the Thousand Stars County, the Taihee Town was not even considered a small village. Even the ancient capital of Huaxia, Luoyang Chang'an, was not comparable to the Thousand Stars County. The Thousand Stars County was just a small county city of the Great Desolate Mansion!

"Qi Zhuohao, the Thousand Searching Sect isn't in the prefecture, but thirty miles east of the prefecture. There are no sects in the prefecture, and it is completely controlled by the County Lord Mansion and the Great Sect under its command..."

Nan Yudia briefly explained the situation in the Thousand Stars County and the surrounding areas. Qi Zhuohao was shocked when he heard it. He didn't expect there to be so many sects in the vicinity of the Thousand Stars County.

Apart from those low grade Yellow rank sects, there were four high grade Yellow Sect near the Thousand Stars County. However, Myriad Buddha Temple was a Buddhist Yellow Sect, so it would not participate in secular conflicts. Therefore, there were only three high grade Yellow Sect around the Thousand Stars County, and the Thousand Searching Sect was the strongest. The Azure Sky Castle was second, and the Cloud Sect was the weakest. Of course, the weakest high rank Yellow Sect was the Cloud Sect. It was not something that the lower ranked Yellow Sect could compare with!

Qi Zhuohao had already understood that there were Buddhist monks and Daoist priests in Hongwu Continent. And... The Daoist priests and monks in Hongwu Continent were not only warriors, but also warriors. They were almost no different from the Taoists and monks in the Huaxia Empire. The Taoists and Buddhist monks were the same. They rarely moved around in the world.

Of course, whether it was Buddhist or Taoist martial artists, they were all very respected and very powerful! Buddhist cultivation methods and Taoist cultivation methods, ordinary martial artists could not cultivate them.

Although Myriad Buddha Temple did not participate in secular conflicts, in the Thousand Stars County, no sect dared to provoke Myriad Buddha Temple, it was the Thousand Searching Sect who was crowned as the number one sect in a thousand stars. They were also afraid of the Myriad Buddha Temple, and the evil force of the Thousand Stars County, the Mengyin Mountain. The reason why they were so afraid of the Myriad Buddha Temple was none other than... Buddhist cultivation techniques were very effective against evil cultivation techniques!

Although Thousand Searching Sect and other sects were not in the county, they were called the county sects. Although the county city was managed by County Lord Mansion, there was still the commercial territory of the sects. The Thousand Stars County was filled with all kinds of people, and the competition between the two parties was extremely intense!

"Let's go to the county city first. We'll go to Thousand Searching Sect to participate in Thousand Searching Sect's disciple recruitment test three months later." Nan Yudia said.

Walking in the prefecture, Qi Zhuohao's heart could not calm down. He had finally witnessed the prosperity of the prefecture with his own eyes.

"Miss Nan, where are we going? Don't tell me we are just wandering aimlessly in the county city?" Qi Zhuohao asked in surprise. The sun was high in the sky. He walked on the wide streets of the county city. He felt extremely depressed!

Nan Yudia chuckled when she heard him and said, "Of course not. You will know in a while."

As soon as she finished speaking, Nan Yudia waved her hand to stop a Horned Horse carriage and said, "Master, send us to Drunken Star Tavern!"

Nan Yudia actually wanted to keep him in suspense. Qi Zhuohao was somewhat speechless in his heart. He sat on the Horned Horse carriage and immediately asked, "Miss Nan, what kind of place is Drunken Star Tavern? What are we going there for?"

Originally, Nan Yudia wanted to wait until she reached Drunken Star Tavern before explaining the matters of Drunken Star Tavern to Qi Zhuohao. Seeing the look of anticipation on Qi Zhuohao's face, she gave up on that idea. She replied, "The Drunken Star Tavern is the most luxurious restaurant in the Thousand Stars County. Don't underestimate the Drunken Star Tavern. Even Myriad Buddha Temple wouldn't dare to offend Drunken Star Tavern. Because the boss of the Drunken Star Tavern is a peerless expert! "

"As for us going to the Drunken Star Tavern, we will naturally stay there temporarily. The boss of the Drunken Star Tavern has some connections with my family. Going there is also my grandma's responsibility." Nan Yudia continued to speak, her tone was very proud.

After listening to Nan Yudia's narration, Qi Zhuohao was instantly stunned. Even the Myriad Buddha Temple did not dare to offend the Drunken Star Tavern. This had gone beyond his imagination! The mysterious boss of the Drunken Star Tavern was actually related to Nan Yudia's family. What kind of background did Nan Yudia have? And who was that mysterious boss of the Drunken Star Tavern?

An hour later, the Horned Horse Carriage finally arrived in front of a seven-story tall building. On the plaque on the first floor of the building, there were three big golden words, Drunken Star Tavern. Such an imposing building was the only one in the entire Thousand Stars County. One should know that the buildings in the county city were usually only three or four stories tall. It was already!

After paying the coachman a silver coin, Qi Zhuohao and Nan Yudia got off the carriage and arrived at the entrance of Drunken Star Tavern. Qi Zhuohao was amazed. The expenses in the county city were really high. An hour's journey actually required one silver coin.

The lowest level of coins in the Hongwu Continent were copper coins, silver coins, and Purple Golden Coin. One silver coin was equal to ten thousand copper coins, and so on and so forth. He remembered that they had slept in the Taihee Town. One night was only a few dozen copper coins, and sitting in a Horned Horse cart for two hours in the county city was only a few dozen copper coins. This was really too much of a scam.

Qi Zhuohao was also very helpless. He was poor, but luckily he had the rich Nan Yudia by his side. Otherwise, he would definitely not be able to move an inch in the county. Only by becoming a beggar would he not starve to death!

Drunken Star Tavern was located at a crossroad. The surrounding four streets were all very prosperous commercial streets. Crowds of people came and went in twos and threes. The business in Drunken Star Tavern was very hot. It was indeed worthy of being the highest quality restaurant in the county, the most expensive restaurant, and the best business!

"Qi Zhuohao, let's go in!" Nan Yudia called out, and the two of them walked into the restaurant.

Qi Zhuohao and Nan Yudia had just walked into the restaurant when a pretty waitress immediately walked over. She smiled and asked, "Sir, Madam, are you here to eat or to find someone?"

"We are here to find someone!" Nan Yudia replied with a plain tone. Qi Zhuohao just stood there and watched blankly.

Hearing this, the waitress's expression suddenly became less kind. She asked with an indifferent tone, "You are here to look for someone? Then tell me, which floor and which room is the person you are looking for eating in? What's his name? "

Nan Yudia's clothes were not bad, but Qi Zhuohao's clothes were obviously from a small town. The waitress could tell very quickly that with Qi Zhuohao and Nan Yudia, how could they have the financial resources to spend in Drunken Star Tavern?

One had to know that spending in Drunken Star Tavern cost at least a thousand silver coins. Those who came here to spend money were either rich or noble people in the county. Two poor people, how could they know the guests in Drunken Star Tavern? What a joke!

Nan Yudia did not care about the change in attitude of the waitress. She said unhurriedly, "I want to look for the boss of Drunken Star Tavern. Please take me to see him!"

When Nan Yudia said this, the waitress suddenly looked as if she had seen a ghost. After a long time, she laughed lightly and said, "Okay. Please wait for a moment. I will get someone to bring you up to see the boss."

With that, the waitress turned around and left. There was a trace of an undetectable cunning smile in the corner of her eyes. Obviously, she did not believe Nan Yudia's words. She thought that these two poor people were here to cause trouble. She wanted to teach these two poor people a lesson.

Not long after, the waitress came back. However, beside her was a man with a big waist, dressed like a guard.

"Guard Qu, these are the two poor people. You should beat them up first. Then throw them out. They are really courting death. How dare they behave atrociously in my Drunken Star Tavern! "The waitress had completely changed into a different person. Her voice was very loud. The customers who came and went all stopped in their tracks and looked over in surprise. Discussions broke out everywhere...
