Goateed Alchemist suddenly slapped the table and stood up.
The wine bowl on the table was shaken so much that it jumped half an inch, and the soup splashed everywhere.
"You're a young bastard. In the world of Central Plains Southern Region, not many people dare to scold me for cheating!"
He pointed at Lu Heng's back, and the veins on his neck were pulsing.
The two attendants at the table next to them also stood up straight, their faces extremely ugly, and their palms pressed towards the sabers at their waists.
All the drinkers on the second floor stopped their chopsticks, and the spectators stretched their necks.
Lu Heng didn't even bother to turn around, he just raised his right hand and pressed it down gently.
Suddenly, without any fancy movements, a condensed invisible weight fell from the sky.
The entire wooden building did not make the slightest snapping sound, but the square inch of bluestone floor where the goatee man stood sank three inches downward silently.
The obscene words in the goatee man's mouth were stuck in his throat, and his knees hit the ground hard.
Immediately afterwards, his whole face was pressed against the greasy wooden table, and he was pressed tightly. No matter how much Dou Wang-level Dou Qi in his body was pushed crazily, it was like a cow in mud, without any reaction.
The two followers next to him fell to the ground with a plop, and even breathing became difficult.
"This... this is Dou Zong? No, it's Dou Zun!"
"Your Excellency, have mercy on me! This junior has blind eyes and is ignorant of Taishan. He has a mean mouth! It is this junior who has a mean mouth!"
The man with the goatee's voice squeezed out from the gap in the table, his tone changed and trembled, and cold sweat on his forehead trickled down his chin.
The surrounding drinkers who were originally interested in watching a show took a deep breath, and many quietly retreated with their wine glasses in hand, not even bothering to settle the bill.
In a place like Black-Corner Region or Central Plains, the most taboo thing is to point fingers at strangers.
No one would have guessed that a drunken young man on the side of the road had a terrifying state hidden under his cloak.
Lu Heng swallowed the last mouthful of Soy-Braised Beef, took out the cotton cloth on the side of the table and wiped his fingers.
He had no intention of continuing to care about it. Trampling a fly to death would not bring any sense of achievement.
The invisible pressure dissipated.
Lu Heng stood up, took out a gold coin from Storage Ring, threw it on the table, and walked towards the stairs.
"With your strength, you'd better not go to Burning Flame Valley and die."
The footsteps disappeared gently around the corner of the stairs.
The goateeed man lying on the ground was breathing heavily, and the back of his clothes was already soaked with sweat.
He got up tremblingly, not even daring to mention Heavenly Fire Marrow, and dragged his two weak-legged companions to crawl out of the restaurant.
Walk out of Red Glow Town, Lu Heng and stroll along the official road.
Although the air outside the Blazing Fire Mountain Range is hot and dry, it seems much cleaner here than Black-Corner Region's smell of mud that is mixed with blood and copper.
Burning Flame Valley is indeed recruiting alchemists.
However, according to the timeline, the core reason why Tang Zhen is desperately searching for alchemists who can refine Fire Bodhi Pill is not that Tang Huo'er is about to die now.
The red-haired lady has a very fierce temper and has been thinking about forcibly refining Nine Dragon Thunder Gang Fire.
Tang Zhen loves his daughter so much that just in case, he must prepare the top-grade life-saving Seventh-Grade elixir in advance.
In this case, the matter is not urgent.
If you come all the way here and eagerly come to the door and recommend yourself, you will lose your value and be easily regarded as a speculator with ulterior motives by Burning Flame Valley elders who think highly of themselves.
Lu Heng stood at the fork in the road and took out a detailed map of Central Plains Southern Region.
Looking northeast along Red Glow Town, there is a very conspicuous city two hundred miles away.
Named Tianhuang City.
"That guy Liu Qing, after graduating from the Jia Nan Academy, he probably returned to Tianhuang City, right?"
Lu Heng reminds me of those days at the Jia Nan Academy Inner Academy.
Tyrant Spear Liu Qing, who carries a huge black gun all day long and has a rebellious face, is quite embarrassed in front of him.
Later, the relationship between the two became good. When Inner Academy left, Liu Qing even shouted that if Central Plains Southern Region came, he must go to the Liu Clan to have a drink with him.
The current Tianhuang City situation should be quite delicate.
The two largest forces in the city are Liu Clan and Cheng Clan.
Originally, the two forces were intertwined, but the crucial Spatial Wormhole in the center of the city was nominally under the jurisdiction of Burning Flame Valley, but the actual custody rights were placed in the hands of the stronger of the two.
According to the original context, Spatial Wormhole should be in charge of the Cheng Clan now, and it would be Liu Clan's turn three years later.
But no matter who owns the wormhole now, it's always good to meet old friends.
Lu Heng put away the map and gently spread the five-color long feathers on his back.
A faint green-red brilliance circulated, and his figure turned into a straight thin line, flying towards the northeast sky.
The sky gradually darkened.
Half a day later, a majestic bluestone city appeared at the end of the horizon.
The towering city wall is entirely made of hard Obsidian. A huge copper plaque hangs above the city gate, which reads "Tianhuang City" in three powerful characters.
Compared with Red Glow Town, the density of monks here is obviously several times higher.
There were two teams of armored guards standing on both sides of the city gate. Most of their auras were around Dou Ling, and they were looking seriously at the passing merchants.
Lu Heng dispersed behind Dou Qi Wings and landed outside a secluded forest. He straightened his robes and followed the crowd slowly into the city gate.
The guard just glanced at him casually, and after sensing the strong fluctuations that were deliberately suppressed at the Dou Emperor level, he didn't even dare to ask for the routine city entry tax, and just bowed and let him go.
The streets in the city are extremely spacious, enough to accommodate four carriages traveling side by side.
The restaurants and shops on both sides were decorated with lights and hawking sounds, creating a prosperous and peaceful scene.
Lu Heng walked around the main street and found out the locations of the Liu Clan and Cheng Clan easily.
These two families are indeed like earth emperors in Tianhuang City, each occupying half of the city.
But the information I got was quite interesting.
The Spatial Wormhole building in the center of the city, which is making a lot of money every day, is still firmly in the hands of the Cheng Clan.
It is said that Cheng Clan's Great Elder just broke through to the Dou Zong realm not long ago, and Cheng Clan already has two strong Dou Zongs, which makes Liu Clan a little breathless.
Liu Clan The younger generation Liu Qing is said to have broken through to Dou Emperor, but before the top combat power of the older generation is fully integrated, Liu Clan still has to bow half his head when facing Cheng Clan.
"It turns out that there hasn't been a comeback yet."
Lu Heng touched his chin.
It is already late at night. It would be rude to rush to the Liu Clan's door and knock on it.
Anyway, we are in the city and can't escape.
Lu Heng found a high-end inn that seemed quite quiet and asked for a room on the top floor Heaven-Class Suite.
Open the window, the night breeze is slightly cool.
In the mid-air in the center of the city in the distance, a slowly rotating silver space halo can be seen faintly.
That is the Spatial Wormhole hub of Tianhuang City.
Under the halo, a large number of guards wearing Cheng Clan costumes were patrolling back and forth holding torches, and they were heavily guarded.
Lu Heng Close the window, walk to the bed and sit down cross-legged.
The Two-Star Dou Zun and Chaos Dou Qi in the body flow slowly, and the gray-white Qi Vortex is running steadily.
Yin-Yang Twin Fish swims slowly in the center of Qi Vortex, constantly absorbing Fire-Attribute Energy from the outside world, and then assimilates it through Five Elements Cycle.
Go to the Liu Clan tomorrow to take a look at Liu Qing.
Lu Heng Close your eyes and start practicing.
