Chapter 344: Sightseeing and playing with water
Compared to the scenes when the Pill Alliance mbers from Yun Country and ng Kingdom arrived, the appearance of the Qian Country Pill Alliance group could only be described as — eccentric.
They were a small group of about ten people, all of which were mounted upon the bodies of enormous demon beasts.
That’s correct, the Qian Country Pill Alliance mbers had arrived riding upon demon beasts. As they approached, the massive beastly feet pounded upon the ground, causing slight tremors.
All the Pill Alliance mbers seated upon the beasts were feasting and drinking robustly; especially Fang Lin, who rrily gnawed on a leg of a giant demon beast.
Elder Su couldn’t keep his mouth closed for he was chuckling, his face sared with oil from the feast.
Only Li Jianlong and Li Feng appeared sowhat embarrassed. Although they had eaten so of the at, they had consud much less.
The bewildered Su Xiaotong, however, was completely engrossed in the delicious al. She had already forgotten everyone, and it was all that mattered as long as there was food available.
The at they were enjoying was a result of hunting demon beasts on the way. After roasting it with Soul Commanding Pill Fire, Fang Lin had sprinkled a kind of unusual powdery herb on it that had enhanced its taste exorbitantly.
Indeed, the Qian Country Pill Alliance had been feasting and drinking all through their journey. Normally, if one were to consider the routes’ distances, the Qian Country was supposed to arrive sooner than ng Kingdom. But, their journey got delayed due to hunting beasts for food.
“Yummy, yummy, I want more!” Su Xiaotong said, cheering after finishing off a piece of roast at. She then picked up another one and resud eating with relish.
Elder Su shot her a glance, “Don’t overeat, you’ll end up feeling stuffed.”
But Su Xiaotong paid no heed to his warning. She was deeply imrsed in the allure of the scrumptious al.
The massive demon beast that was carrying the Qian Country mbers appeared to be in a state of frustration, thinking, ‘Hey, I’m the boss of a mountain area. Being caught and reduced to a mount isn’t fair. You people even have the audacity to eat on my back.’
It could ignore the eating, but at least it could be given so food? After journeying so far, it hadn’t had anything to eat.
“Oh dear, we’ve arrived.” Upon seeing everybody from Yun Country and ng Kingdom, and also Zhuge Cang along with his two companions, Elder Su rubbed his hands and remarked awkwardly.
All the people present were speechless, staring at them with strange expressions. They wondered who these people were. Were they present for the sacred and solemn Pill Refiner Conference? They didn’t seem like they were here to refine pills; instead, they looked like tourists who had co to visit and enjoy the scenic beauty.
Being a tourist is one thing, but they were also savouring roast at, and that too in the most aromatic way. How were others, who had only had pills and dry food throughout their journey, supposed to feel about this?
Two Pill Refiners from ng Kingdom were moved to tears. They had heard rumors about Qian Country’s high standard of living. Earlier, they had ignored it but now they realized how well-off the people of the country actually were.
“Ahem, Elder Su, since you’ve arrived, bring your people down quickly,” Zhuge Cang said, his expression in a state of chaos.
Elder Su nodded repeatedly. He glanced at his people behind him and remarked with loss of words, “Look at you all, your behaviour is disgraceful. You’ve disgraced yourselves now, haven’t you?”
However, while speaking, Elder Su too rubbed off the morsels of at from the corner of his mouth. A glimpse at the large quantity of remaining roast at brought a glint of yearning in his eyes.
“Fang Lin, pack up the at. We’ll have it later,” Elder Su said.
“Alright.” Fang Lin responded instantly, stuffing all the roast at into his bag, except for a leg that he was still holding.
“Aren’t you, lad, going to put that away too? What kind of immature behaviour is this?” Elder Su scowled.
Fang Lin answered with an unhappy expression, “What’s the rush? It’s not like we’re going to start imdiately. I haven’t had enough yet.”
Elder Su was at a loss of words, but he opted not to say anything else. He just signaled everyone to dismount from the demon beast.
“You can go now,” keeping it brief, Elder Su addressed the massive demon beast, which instantly ran off in a hurry.
Only then did the people of Yun Country and ng Kingdom start assessing the people from Qian Country closely. After all, Qian Country was supposed to have a few people, and they were all clearly visible on sight.
“Oh, Baldhead Yan, you have arrived quite early; Old Woman Gu too has made it before us. I’m extrely embarrassed.” With a familiar tone, Elder Su greeted the grim old man nad Yan and a haggard old lady dressed in black robes.
However, both of them didn’t respond much to Elder Su, especially Old Woman Gu, who had a murderous look in her eyes.
“Su Jianchuan, are these the people you brought? They seem quite worthless,” said the elderly man nad Yan, his face full of disdain.
In response, Elder Su’s smile faded slightly, “Baldhead Yan, limit your concerns to your own people.”
Standing behind Elder Su, Fang Lin had been casually chewing on the roast at while blatantly checking out the people from Yun Country and ng Kingdom.
After all, he needed to contest with them later, so he first had to know what kind of people they were.
“Huh?” Fang Lin imdiately laid his eyes on Zhao Shenkong. Being a Pill Sovereign, he could distinctly sense a unique aura from him.
“Could it be so unique Pill Refining physical quality?” Fang Lin speculated quietly. His assumptions weren’t far from reality.
Simultaneously, Zhao Shenkong, who also felt sothing, turned his gaze towards Fang Lin.
However, after just a glance, Zhao Shenkong shifted his focus to Su Xiaotong.
Fang Lin felt annoyed. After all, such disregard towards him wasn’t welcoming.
It wasn’t a surprise that Zhao Shenkong underestimated Fang Lin as, in his opinion, Fang Lin was not a formidable opponent. He had just luckily mastered so Ancient Alchemy Skill.
As per him, the only person deserving his attention was Su Xiaotong.
“Do you feel bad being neglected?” Li Jianlong remarked jokingly from the sidelines.
Fang Lin smiled wryly, taking a big bite of his roast at.
“Keep your food away, lad. Don’t embarrass yourself here,” thunders the man nad Yan.
Elder Su imdiately becos furious, “If you want to ss around, fight with here.”
Zhuge Cang, along with others, quickly defused the situation by persuading him to back off, thus preventing a fight.
“You didn’t even eat your own at,” Fang Lin muttered under his breath. But all others present there were masters. They naturally heard clearly what he muttered.
Yan smirked coldly and pointed at Fang Lin, “I had heard that your Fang Lin from Qian Country is greatly insolent. Seeing you today indeed proves it correct. You really are a disgrace.”
The people of Yun Country burst into laughter. Not just them, many from ng Kingdom were showing disdain towards Fang Lin and the others from Qian Country.
However, the silver-haired young man appeared to be quite indifferent, giving no reaction whatsoever.
Fang Lin was furious, “What’s going on? Are they all against ?”
“Tch, quite a disappointnt. I thought I was going to et quite a few high-class seniors. But look, nothing but low-quality wares,” Fang Lin responded to Yan with an expression full of scorn.
