Myriad Paths

Li Qi has always felt that he hid the delicious food very well. It is estimated that not many people know about it. Even if someone follows him and observes all his actions from another perspective, it is probably difficult to find out that he actually likes to taste it. gourmet food.

In this regard, Li Qi is still very confident.

But...the sea cargo crew in front of me was so enthusiastic and used such strange words, saying, "What do you want to buy this time?"

What are you doing? Could it be the last time?

However, Li Qi always adhered to the good habit of asking directly if he didn't understand anything, so he asked directly: "This time? Could it be the same as last time?"

"Hey, since we are doing business, we naturally have to be sweet. What do you want to buy, sir?" The crew member chuckled, explained casually, and then immediately introduced the things to Li Qi.

"This thing is crucian carp in the sea. If you eat it richly, it can also relieve cold and heat."

"If you don't like to eat it, sir, there are other seafood here, such as this centipede crab. Remove the shell and fry it to produce glue. It is called chelate glue, which is better than phoenix beak glue!"

"This is a colorful snail, which only appears hundreds of miles deep in the sea. The flesh is inedible, but the green spots on the shell are glowing with seven-color light. The larger ones can hold up to two liters. The inside of the shell is as bright as mica. It can be used as a wine glass. It is strange and fun to play with."

As he spoke, he began to introduce various strange objects in the sea, including corals, equipment on spiritual animals, various textiles unique to the deep ocean, and even the remains of various demonic dragons, all of which are good for making magic treasures. Some materials can also have miraculous effects when used for practicing.

There are also some medicinal and food items that can have strange effects when eaten, such as a strange fish that can breathe in the water and grow fins after eating it, and will disappear after three hours.

And a strange swordfish. This is not a fish with a sword on its mouth, but a sword in its entirety. It shuttles through the water like a flying sword. It is said that a Taoist swordsman once crossed the sea with a few friends, and the sword The Qi scattered in the East China Sea is transformed into it. If you can tame it, you can get a flying sword. If you can't, it will be a good product. The taste is not very delicious, but it is said to be quite exciting.

What struck Li Qi most astonishing was a kind of August crab. After this kind of crab sheds its shell, it has awns in its abdomen, which are like rice awns. If you offer them to the God of the Sea toward the east, they can bless the ship with calm seas and a safe journey.

This is really strange, because Li Qi knew that Poseidon was dead.

The Poseidon, that is, the original Dragon King, has been shot and killed by the former Human Emperor himself with his bow, and his body is still lying in the sea. So which Poseidon is the rice awn in this crab sacrificed to?

Maybe it's someone powerful who is planning it again, but that has nothing to do with Li Qi.

"There is no need for these toys. I just came to buy some seafood to eat. Please introduce to me some delicious and rare ones, but not too expensive. I can't afford the expensive ones." Li Qi waved his hand and interrupted. the other party's promotion.

The crew member didn't say much, and raised his hand to bring in a few boxes: "Then, sir, you must try these shrimp roe and honey crabs!"

After that, Li Qi followed his example and bought a lot of seafood, all of which were said to be delicious and rare. He spent a lot of money, and the discounted price was probably enough for an eighth-grade magic weapon.

Li Qi also discovered that pearls seemed to be commonly used as currency in the East China Sea. These pearls were produced in large quantities and could be ground into powder for consumption. They could be used medicinally to heal wounds, and could also be turned into energy and used as an energy source. It is easy to carry and easy to estimate, so it is quite popular in the East China Sea.

More than a hundred pearls are probably enough to buy a ninth-grade magic weapon.

Of course, this kind of beads is actually the lowest-end. There are also miscellaneous beads, small beads, and large beads recorded in books. Those are the currencies used for large transactions.

For example, the Li Pearl or the Dragon Pearl among the big beads, you can buy fifth-grade things. Of course, that one is too far away, so I'm just kidding.

The currency that really suits Li Qi is similar to the miscellaneous pearls born by mother clams, or the moon beads spit out by tortoise shells. Although they are called miscellaneous pearls, they are actually much better than these ordinary pearls. One pearl can be used for several items. If you have a high-grade magic weapon, you can buy an eighth-grade magic weapon with just a dozen of them.

As for the eighth-grade magic weapon, it is even more expensive.

But Li Qi didn't have that many pearls, so he paid the bill directly with tableware.

Hmm... After all, he is the boss of the tableware business. Li Qi is the designated tableware supplier for the Shangyuan Flower God Banquet. He has nothing else but hundreds of tableware samples.

In a place like Tang State, the value of these tableware is quite high, let alone in a remote country like Donghai.

Snapped!

Li Qi suddenly slapped himself very loudly.

"Sir? What are you doing?" The crew member who was helping Li Qi load the cargo was stunned. Why did this man suddenly slap him in the face?

"Nothing, you do it yourself." Li Qi waved his hand and asked them to continue loading.

It's really...dangerous.

Unknowingly, I actually had the kind of humane mentality, the kind of aloof, self-centered mentality.

Practitioners of humanity firmly believe that humanity is the highest and they are orthodox. All other places are "barbarians" and are remote places.

Therefore, the humane way can write: "Therefore, since ancient times, the emperors have ruled the world, and they have lived in the Central Plains to control the barbarians, and the barbarians have lived outside to serve the Central Plains. It has never been heard of the barbarians living in the Central Plains to control the world. It did not happen in ancient times, and it does not exist today. , from now on until the final tribulation, there will be no such thing!”

This kind of mentality is normal for humanity, but he has to be vigilant and cannot immerse himself in it, so he simply gave himself a slap in the face.

After doing this, Li Qi moved the ingredients to a quite high-end looking tavern and offered to let the other party handle the ingredients for him while he paid for the labor.

There seemed to be many such guests, so Li Qi's request was quickly met.

The fish meat was served first. The main ingredient is 600-year-old swordfish. The chef needs to use his own skills to cut off the sword spirit, then remove the skin and bones, take the fine meat and cut it into strands, then finely chop the fragrant leaves and lay it on top. The taste is just ordinary and delicious, but the advantage is that you can taste the sword energy in it, as if you are fighting with the swordsman, which makes you forget to leave.

The requirements for chefs are very high. If you are not skilled enough, you will be injured by the sword energy in the swordfish.

Next is the fish pot. Remove the large bones from the swordfish, cut it into small cubes, remove the foam from the chicken broth, simmer the bones until medium-rare, stew them into fish soup, add wine and autumn oil, then add fish fillets, pick them up, Eat with dipping sauce. The seasoning is made from sugarcane ginger, papaya, prune plum, Yangmei, five-flavored olives, Xuanju, mashed, added with sea sausage, and mixed with juice. It is delicious and delicious.

Then have an oven, line the oven with something, put it on a plate, take a rock, and burn it until it is thoroughly heated. The stone is extremely hot, with fire gas and trace amounts of fire poison in it. Unscrew the raw fish, onions, leeks, turtles, and the like. , put it on the stone, it will be cooked in an instant, and it will be hot but not harmful.

On the side are sugar crabs, wet crabs, and shrimp claws, which taste sweet.

There are also seaweeds, which are as thin as paper and are made from the skin of salt water. Their color is like moss, or they are loose strips, or they are tied into ropes, or they are like short ponytails. They are soaked in boiling soup and fermented with ginger, pepper, wine, and vinegar. , very crisp and beautiful, used to clear the mouth.

Li Qi made a delicious meal and enjoyed it very much.

He also threw the old horse to the stableman. There were also spiritual herbs and refined peach pills there, and it was said that there were also seahorses...

Ahem, I didn’t treat him badly anyway, just go and have a look when the time comes and then settle the bill.

Thinking of this, Li Qi could enjoy the seafood on the table with peace of mind.

Moreover, his sixth sense told him that this meal would not be in vain.

Wu Jin's sixth sense has always been very accurate.

After eating for about an hour, Li Qi finally finished the table of delicious food.

At the same time, the energy from the ingredients and the sword energy from the swordfish also filled his belly, rushing and tearing apart in the small world of his body.

This feeling is quite exciting, just like taking a bite of a flying sword with an owner.

However, the chef at sea is also very good. He broke the keel of the swordfish, so the sword energy cannot be condensed into one, and can only be scratched in the small world of the human body like a fish bone.

This also gave Li Qi the opportunity to experience handling these sword energies. He sunk into his heart and began to collect these sword energies, as if fighting a group of swordsmen. It was both relaxing and not harmful to the body.

Good ingredients can give people such a strange experience.

When Li Qi opened his eyes again, it was already several hours later. He sank into practice and felt that his combat experience had increased a lot. After the sword fish's sword energy attack was processed by the chef, although it was not strong, it was The quality is quite high, just like a swordsman who is skilled in swordsmanship but has a broken keel, so his hands and feet are weak. There is no danger, but it allows people to fully appreciate the magic of swordsmanship, which greatly enhances the experience of this meal.

Moreover, it is said that the sword energy contained in each swordfish is different. There was also a warrior who ate more than 700 swordfish in a row and learned a set of swordsmanship with Taoist mental skills.

That's why there are rumors that sword fish are the sword energy spread into the East China Sea by a Taoist swordsman.

So, just by eating all the swordfish, can we get the appearance of the sword energy itself?

possible.

But if you really do it, it will definitely be impossible. I don’t know how many swordfish have been eaten by now. Can you still pull the sword energy out of other people’s stomachs?

However, I don’t know how powerful the sword immortal is. Can he achieve this level with just a sword energy? When wielding the sword, how energetic was it? How many wonderful swordsmanships are included in it?

That's all, there's no use thinking about that. After Li Qi sighed with emotion, he opened his eyes.

After opening his eyes, he found a person sitting in front of him.

It was Wang Dun.

"Brother Wang is really well-informed~ I'm just here to have a meal, and you can come over too." Li Qi said with a smile.

He knew that Wang Dun must not be able to bear it after he disappeared without a trace for several days and now appeared on the sea. After all, judging from Wang Dun's appearance, he could read the Tao rules created by non-spiritual people. The machine is also very interested.

As a researcher, curiosity must be shared by both sides. Wang Dun used Ling Dao and Li Dao to fish for Li Qi, and Li Qi also used Dao Principle Reader to fish for them. Everyone just took the bait separately.

Of course, if both parties have good intentions, then they can exchange what they have.

Both sides have evil intentions, so they are taking the bait.

"This is the advantage of being a local snake, isn't it? Brother Li Qi, how have you been these past few days? Are you ready? I have been waiting anxiously for the past few days, just waiting for Brother Li Qi to come." Wang Dun said.

"Haha, why are you so anxious? It will always come. I have encountered something recently. I went to the place under the sea where the aborigines live." Li Qi said with a smile.

"No wonder I can't find you in the city recently. It turns out you went to the bottom of the sea. How could Brother Li Qi think of going to the bottom of the sea? There is nothing in that place. It is dark, sewage is rampant, and it is turbid. There are only sharks and snails at the bottom. Only when people suffer such hardships, wouldn't you be detracting from your identity by going there?" Wang Dun was puzzled.

"I'm a little curious about how the city of Dongyu operates, so I went down to take a look. As for the environment... I've been to more dangerous places. It's just some rocks and sewage, but it's not as refined as this. "Li Qi smiled and answered in a polite but unfamiliar tone.

"It turns out that it's for studying. That's understandable. If it's for studying, then you have to go to the end of the road, not to mention it's just a little dirty? But, you did it recklessly this time. There is no need to go down and explore the cesspit yourself. , the relevant records have already been recorded in the book list, just tell me and I will bring it to you directly. It is really a loss this time~" Wang Dun sighed and said, as if he really thought that Li Qi went to the lower level to eat something. deficit.

As for Li Qi, he smiled casually: "Brother Wang came to me this time, is it because the Institute can't wait any longer?"

"Of course I can't wait. By the way, have you been anxious to find a ship recently? You don't have a clue yet? I happen to have a ship of my own here. We are planning to go to the ocean by ourselves. The sixth-grade is in charge and the fifth-grade treasure ship , purely mechanical structure, extremely reliable, you can go to most places in the East China Sea, and there are maps for places you can't go to. You will definitely not go there casually. It is very safe and fast. I still have a few on hand. "Brother Li, do you want to try?" Wang Dun said enthusiastically, and even the many screws and knobs on his body began to glow slightly red.

His magic weapon body was a little excited.

This reaction made Li Qi quite surprised.

He originally thought that Wang Dun and he were fishing with each other, but... now he saw that the other party was really eager. This kind of eagerness was kind of... How should I put it? Oh, yes, the purity of a scholar.

There is a pure scholar's curiosity, and in order to satisfy this curiosity, a lot of extra things can be done.

Well……

Could it be that I am overthinking it?

Li Qi thought this in his heart. He thought he was taking a long-term view before, but now that he saw it, Wang Dun didn't think so.

It's a little weird. Is he overthinking it, or... is Wang Dun also the bait on someone else's hook, but he just didn't notice it?

But no matter what, this ship is definitely more powerful than all the ships Li Qi found on Dongyu.

Therefore, Li Qi immediately nodded: "That's natural. Thank you Brother Wang. In this case, it's not too late. Let's go learn it? It's a good time to communicate and learn from each other!"
