Chapter 58: Stealing a Disciple
"Stealing a disciple?"
Su Die looked at Zhang Yun in surprise: "Did someone steal your disciple?"
"No!"
Zhang Yun explained: "It was stealing a future disciple. I just attended the auction of the Nanshang branch in your city. The last item was a girl from the mermaid tribe. I took a closer look and found that she has good roots and is very suitable to be my disciple!"
"Mermaid girl?"
Su Die raised her eyebrows and thought of something: "It seems that the Nanxingzhou businessman brought her!"
"Nanxingzhou businessman? "
"You don't know, a few days ago a businessman came to our South Mall and sold a batch of Nanxingzhou specialties. Among the six states in the southern region, only the deep Antarctic Sea of Nanxingzhou has a mermaid tribe. Think about it, it is likely that the merchant from Nanxingzhou brought it!"
Zhang Yun suddenly realized and raised a big finger to Su Die: "As expected of the great beauty Su, you have a wide range of knowledge and even know where the mermaid tribe is!"
"Go out more, don't stay in Nanyunzhou, you will also understand these!"
Su Die rolled her eyes at him.
"I will."
Zhang Yun smiled slightly.
As a cultivator, his predecessor didn't like to go out on weekdays, but now that he has traveled through time, he has the opportunity to go to the vast world of Xiandao Continent.
"By the way, did you really rob this mermaid girl just to recruit a disciple? Don't you have any other ideas?"
Su Die suddenly looked at him, with a hint of teasing in her beautiful eyes: "You are not here to ask me to recruit a disciple with the intention of practicing dual cultivation with the mermaid?"
"Beautiful Su, do you think I am that kind of person?"
Zhang Yun had a serious face.
"Tsk, can you men's mouths be trusted?"
Su Die sneered and waved her hand: "Forget it, I don't care what you want to do by robbing her, just pay first. First of all, you and I are in the same camp, and I can't watch you die. I won't charge you spiritual stones if I follow the third floor owner. Second, it's a bit troublesome to rob this mermaid girl, there are too many uncertain factors, 20,000 spiritual stones, can you accept it?"
"No problem!"
Zhang Yun thought about it and nodded, and took out two storage rings happily.
Although he owed her a favor, it was impossible to ask Su Die for help without giving her some spiritual stones.
This is also the style of their business. They can do things, but they must give spiritual stones!
Su Die checked a storage ring containing 20,000 spirit stones and found nothing wrong. She looked puzzled when she saw another storage ring: "What's in it?"
"Some spirit beast meat."
Zhang Yun said: "It contains a complete body of a golden elixir stage spirit brown bear king!"
"Huh?"
Su Die's eyes condensed when she heard this, and she quickly picked up the ring to check it out, looking at Zhang Yun in surprise: "You are so good, you can get such good ingredients? Wait, you give it to me, do you want me to help you make spirit food?"
Zhang Yun nodded.
He had another purpose in coming to Nanshang City, which was to find a spirit chef to deal with the spirit beast corpses obtained from the exchange meeting between the two sects, which can also be said to be ingredients.
Spirit chef, this is a special profession in the Xiandao Continent.
They can maximize the retention of the spirit energy in the spirit beast meat, and cook and make various spirit food. The spirit food contains extremely abundant spirit energy, which is not only delicious, but also can directly improve the cultivation of the cultivator after eating it.
The more advanced the spirit chef, the more he can retain the spirit energy in the spirit beast meat in the spirit food through cooking.
If it were a normal spirit beast corpse, it would be fine if it was simply cooked. But if a Jindan-stage spirit beast corpse was cooked casually, it would be a waste of natural resources.
In addition to the crystal core, the energy contained in every part of the body of this level of spirit beast corpse is not inferior to some spiritual medicines.
If it is cooked casually, it may not even retain a few tenths of the spiritual energy in the beast meat.
Therefore, it is often necessary to find a spiritual chef to deal with this kind of spirit beast corpse.
Among the cultivators Zhang Yun knows, there are only two familiar spiritual chefs. One is Su Die in front of him, a genuine top-level spirit chef. The other is the third elder of their Lingxian Sect.
But now that someone in the sect has poisoned him, he is not very confident about every elder of the Lingxian Sect.
After all, he is going to prepare this spiritual meal and take it back to Xu Ming and Wu Xiaopang. Once they are poisoned with the same poison as him, his two disciples will probably die in minutes!
As for Su Die, she was one of the most trusted people in his predecessor.
After integrating everything from his predecessor, Zhang Yun was also affected by this emotion. He naturally developed trust in the beautiful lady Su in front of him, and he had a good impression of her at the moment.
After Su Die checked the various ingredients in the storage ring, she said, "You can make spiritual meals. You don't count the other miscellaneous spiritual beasts. I'll give you half of the body of the spiritual brown bear king as a reward. Is that okay?"
"Half?"
Zhang Yun bared his teeth, "It's a bit too much..."
"Fuck!"
Su Die glared, raised her proud chest and snorted, "I'm a top spiritual chef. Do you understand the value of the word top? Others who ask me to make spiritual meals have to pay a high price. It's because you saved my life that I give you this price. Do you think it's too much?"
"Don't get excited!"
Zhang Yun waved his hand quickly and said, "Half and half, I'll give you half!"
"Hmph!"
Su Die gave him a look that said "you're smart" and said calmly, "I'll send this spiritual meal to Lingxian Sect after I'm done. Now go get your 'future apprentice' back first!"
Zhang Yun nodded, put on the mask and hat that he had put away just after entering the kitchen, and walked out of the kitchen.
After waiting for half a minute, Su Die, who had changed into a neat red suit and a butterfly mask, walked out. Holding a sound transmission stone in her hand, she said to him, "My people have received the news, your 'future apprentice' is heading towards the west gate!"
"West gate?"
Zhang Yun was stunned, "Isn't it the South Gate?"
Nan Shangcheng is accessible from all sides, with four gates in the east, west, south and north. Previously, he followed the carriage all the way to the direction of Nanyun Tower, and should have gone to the South Gate, so why did it turn to the West Gate?
"The one at the South Gate is just a cover!"
Su Die said calmly: "The people who took the photo of your 'future apprentice' are not stupid. They are now using this cover to attract attention and take your 'future apprentice' to the West Gate!"
Zhang Yun's face was stern.
He did not doubt what Su Die said.
After all, Su Die was the local snake in the South Mall, and basically nothing in this city could escape her ears and eyes.
Fortunately, he came to find Su Die halfway, otherwise if he had really followed the previous carriage, he and this mermaid girl with heavenly qualifications might not have the fate of master and apprentice!
"I have sent someone to disguise as you to help you lead away some of your tails!"
Su Die put away the sound transmission stone, walked back to the kitchen and said: "Now, follow me!"
Zhang Yun followed.
I saw that there was an open underground passage in the kitchen at this moment.
Zhang Yun was not surprised.
As a killer, most of them would make an escape route for themselves in their residence.
Su Die jumped into the underground passage, followed closely by Zhang Yun.
Following the underground passage, there were many forks along the way, and the whole thing looked like a huge maze.
Zhang Yun was amazed.
It is not easy to build such a huge maze underground!
Local tyrants are local tyrants!
After twisting and turning, they finally walked to an exit along a staircase.
But Su Die was not in a hurry to open the floor cover. She held a recording stone in her hand, and a clear picture appeared on it -
It was a wide mountain road with dense woods and wilds on both sides.
"This is the hill outside the West City Gate. You will definitely pass by here after leaving the West City Gate."
Su Die said, and took out the second recording stone from a secret room in the wall next to it.
The picture that appeared on this recording stone was between the trees. Behind the trees and in the bushes, there were many masked people in black clothes lying in ambush, their eyes fixed on the mountain path below.
There were also a few people standing on the trees through the parallel perspective, but only their legs could be seen.
Zhang Yun raised his eyebrows, "Are there others lying in ambush?"
"Mermaid girl, I've seen her a lot!"
Su Die chuckled and said, "There are more people who want to practice dual cultivation with her to improve their strength than you think. These people don't want to spend spirit stones, so they can only rob like you!"
Zhang Yun touched his nose.
What do you mean by robbing? I'm doing this to recruit disciples, okay?
"Here it comes!"
Su Die suddenly said at this time.
Zhang Yun's expression froze, and he saw a carriage coming from the bottom of the mountain path in the first recording stone.
