Chapter 461 Ashura
These things are not accessible to people of the seventh and eighth ranks.
You know, as the person in charge of the cafeteria of the Imperial College, Cooking Sea Pot is a fourth-rank existence.
As a fourth-rank person, how rare are the ingredients he needs? How powerful are they? Just these ingredients are terrifying beasts that Li Qi and Li Weng cannot resist.
Eat these things?
Li Weng, an eighth-rank Yincha, never thought about it.
Although Huang Neng is the corpse of a god and has no consciousness, this kind of monster is generally like this, but it is not so easy to provoke.
Not to mention anything else.
White Jiao tendons are real Jiaolong tendons, and they must be a different kind of Jiaolong, which is generally about the sixth rank.
Dragon King Scale, this thing is simply expensive, because it is a piece of scale of the Dragon King, the Sea God, who fell in the East China Sea... This is something that can make fifth-rank treasure hunters excited, with many magical things.
Zhouli is also a kind of exotic beast. It is a red carp as big as a boat. It is often used as a mount by Taoist immortals. Its appearance frequency is comparable to that of cranes.
There are also things like Haihua, which are also on the list.
These things made Li Weng, who just patted his chest and said that he had many connections, look stiff.
If he could get in touch with such a powerful person, why would he still be an eighth-grade Yincha?
Looking at Li Weng's face, Li Qi smiled: "Li Weng just needs to lead the way for me. You don't have to find acquaintances. As long as you can find the corresponding store, there should be such a place, right?"
Hearing this, Li Weng's expression eased, and then he smiled bitterly and said: "If it's just like this, it's easy to say. If you really go to find things like Zhouli Huangneng, it's really embarrassing for me..."
"We are friends, why would I make such a difficult request for you? Just find a store." Li Qi nodded and said.
"Then please wait here for a while, I'll be back soon." Li Weng nodded and bowed to Li Qi, then turned around and left to find a shop.
Li Qi watched the other party leave, then simply closed his eyes and waited quietly.
There was nothing special to pay attention to. Although the Dragon Palace around was strange, it was still far worse than Shangyuan, so Li Qi didn't think there was anything special, so he just waited quietly.
However, there was one thing he cared about.
How did this so-called 'Dragon Palace' get involved with the 'Ghost Market'? The Ghost Market is not in the Yang world, and its location seems to be erratic. Mortal souls can go there when they are dreaming.
If this kind of thing is combined with the Dragon Palace, does it mean that the Dragon Palace in front of us also has the same properties as the Ghost Market, and can reach here by some means beyond the distance?
In this case, does it mean one thing?
That is-the Dragon Palace here is either illusory or at least unstable. It is an even more unstable existence built on the unstable place of the Ghost Market.
Thinking of this, Li Qi suddenly felt a sense of oppression around him.
Turning his head, he saw a luxurious ghost car, pulled by monsters, coming towards Li Qi from other parts of the Dragon Palace.
The ghost car was flying in the air, with moles and moths circling around it. The posture was extremely greedy and cruel, with the ferocity of tigers and wolves, and the ugliness of the five people was even more fierce, with the special shape of snakes, sharp teeth biting, and it was really poisonous.
This ghost car with a terrifying sense of oppression was pulled by a group of monsters and ghosts, and slowly moved forward in the Dragon Palace.
As the ghost car moved forward, Li Qi also noticed things besides the monsters and ghosts around him.
First, it was the thing sitting upright in the car.
Is that... the breath of Asura?
Li Qi had seen the record in the book.
There are four types of Asura.
One: If in the ghost way, with the power of protecting the law, ride into the sky, this Asura is born from an egg and is captured by the ghost interest.
Second: If in heaven, the virtue is reduced and the place where it is located is close to the sun and the moon, this Asura is born from the womb and is included in the human realm.
Third: There is an Asura King who holds the world, is powerful and fearless, and can compete with the Brahma King, the Heaven Indra, and the Four Heavens for power. This Asura exists because of change and is included in the heavenly realm.
Fourth: There is another inferior Asura, born in the heart of the sea, sinking into the mouth of a water hole, wandering in the sky in the morning and returning to the water at night. This Asura exists because of moisture and is included in the animal realm.
Li Qi doesn't even need to raise his eyes to look at the inferior Asura in the animal realm.
There is no need to talk about the Heavenly Asura. This thing is the legendary Asura King, who can compete with the Buddhist Indra and the Four Heavens.
The famous Indra naturally needs no introduction, but the Four Heavens are not easy to mess with. No one may be familiar with the Four Heavens, but it is estimated that everyone knows the "Four Heavenly Kings".
The so-called four heavens are the pinnacle of the Buddhist guardian gods, the four heavenly kings, known as the "Four Heavenly Kings of the World".
Dhritarashtra, Virūdhaka, Vimalakirti, and Vaisravana are also great beings that can be called "heaven" together with Indra, Mahakala, and Auspicious God.
Li Qi read a book and learned the name of a heavenly Asura, called "Rahu".
This name alone is enough to explain many things.
Heavenly Asura is against such a fierce man, so it is naturally impossible to appear here.
So the one in front of you should be the ghost Asura?
There are also records in the book that the ghost song Asura can use its power to show its supernatural powers into the sky. Its will is strong and it does not follow good friends to do pure blessings. It likes to chase after illusions and false people, do all kinds of evil blessings, and is close to evil teachers. It likes to give alms very much, and is optimistic about others fighting and litigation, so it is a race with a very bad character.
And... from the way he walked over, it was obvious that he was coming towards him.
Li Qi stood there, quietly waiting for the Asura to slowly press towards him in the ghost car pulled by many monsters.
After a few minutes, the huge ghost car exuded a strong yin energy and stopped in front of Li Qi.
Then, the Asura in it lifted the curtain.
It was a female Asura.
Asura men are ugly; Asura women are beautiful, so this Asura woman is naturally very beautiful.
Of course, it is precisely because of this beauty and Asura's aggressive personality that there are often wars wherever Asura passes, so the battlefield is commonly called "Asura field".
Asura women are very beautiful, with peach-colored lips, apricot-like red face, jade-like skin, light body, fragrant breath, graceful and slender, unparalleled in ancient times, and charming appearance. They don't look like evil gods like Asura, but more like a lady from a noble family.
Of course, Li Qi would not judge people by appearance. This woman did indeed exude the aura of the Asura Dao.
But he heard the Asura woman lift the curtain and say, "I heard from the ghost messenger that the sir has a big business to do?"
"Indeed, you are here to do business? Are you Haihua from the Asura clan?" Li Qi immediately opened his mouth and asked.
"The Lotus Sutra" says: "Asura means no wine. Flowers are collected from all over the world and brewed in the sea. The karma of fish and dragons does not change the taste. The anger and jealousy are sworn off, so it is said that there is no wine god."
The Asura clan likes to drink, but they don't know how to make wine, so they found a way to collect various essences from all over the world, put them in the sea, and brew them with the help of the karma of fish and dragons.
But obviously, they said they didn't know how to make wine, so they didn't make good wine. The taste didn't change at all, so the Asuras said angrily that there is no wine god in this world.
Although it is not good as wine, these ‘Haihua’ that gather the essence of the four directions are indeed excellent ingredients, and are also one of the ingredients specifically requested for cooking the sea pot.
I think this Asura girl is here to sell Haihua, which means that Li Weng did spread the news, but where are the others? Why is only Asura here, and he himself didn’t come back?
But when I was thinking about it, I heard the Asura girl say: "Then please get in the car, sir. Not only Haihua, if you can afford the price, we can offer you all the food you need on your list."
Talking to the Asura girl is really a very comfortable thing. Obviously, there is nothing special to say, and what she says is also normal, but it just gives people a sense of relaxation and joy.
Li Qi was not surprised by this. After all, the Asura girl is a real ‘celestial girl’, and it is normal for her to have some mysterious mechanisms.
So, Li Qi bowed and said, "Is it so convenient? That's good. If I can buy everything at once, then the higher price is acceptable. By the way, where is the ghost messenger who was entrusted by me to pass on the message for me? Why can't I see him?"
"He is in our store, being entertained, and has no time to come for the time being." The Asura woman said so.
Li Qi nodded after hearing this: "In that case, please, please, sir."
There is nothing to doubt. It should be similar to what the other party said. Li Qi does not think that the other party has any reason to harm him.
This is the world. Li Qi is a well-known person, and he has a huge sum of money and a sufficient background. In this case, the robbers who are rational enough have turned themselves into businessmen.
For example, the Asura woman in front of him, Li Qi knows very well that Asura is an evil god. The goods on hand, except for Haihua, are estimated to have a bad origin, but it doesn't matter.
It's good to be able to buy it. Don't be too entangled about things like origin.
After getting Li Qi's approval, the Asura woman smiled and nodded her slender fingers.
However, many strange birds began to make noises around, but they also flapped their wings quickly, forming a strange bird bridge similar to the "Magpie Bridge", extending from the high ghost car to Li Qi's feet.
This is an invitation for Li Qi and the Asura girl to sit opposite each other.
Li Qi was not vague, and took two steps at a time and walked onto the ghost car.
After getting on the car, the scenery on it remained unchanged, but the space inside was not small, as if there was a hall, and there were constantly ghosts and monsters. Various demons were drilling around in it, constantly entering and exiting, as if they were moving something to maintain the oppressive breath in this ghost car.
It seems that this is the source of the demons that are constantly surrounding outside, and it is quite... rustic.
Sitting on the ghost car, Li Qi sat in the guest seat, and the Asura girl sat in the host seat. The two looked at each other, with a distance of about three feet in between. There was a long table in the middle, and some beautiful female ghosts, demons, and slightly inferior Asuras were servants next to them, accompanying them and waiting for orders.
As Li Qi got on the carriage, the demon under the ghost carriage stood up again, lifted the ghost carriage, and began to move forward slowly.
However, the interior of the ghost carriage was very stable, without any bumps. With the curtains drawn, it was basically not felt that he was in a car, but in a gorgeous palace, where he was feasting and chatting with a beautiful princess.
Li Qi sat down, but the Asura woman smiled and said, "I'm afraid it was a bit rude and unfamiliar to call you sir just now. But after all, we are outside, even if there is no one around, it's not good to call you young master directly, so as not to make you unhappy~."
The meaning of this was very clear.
We know you are the Young Master of Wushen Mountain, and we also know what this title means, so we will give you the greatest respect, but... this also means that we understand your background, you'd better take it seriously.
Li Qi heard the hidden meaning and smiled: "No need to call me Young Master, just call me by my name. My name is Li Qi. I meet Asura. May I ask Asura's name?"
"My name is Potisha. Since you don't mind, you can just call me by my name." The Asura girl named Potisha greeted Li Qi.
"But, I don't know why Young Master Li Qi needs so many precious ingredients? Is it because my master is delicious? Or do you need to hold a banquet? I see that there are so many precious ingredients in the list listed by Young Master Li Qi. If you want to get them all, I'm afraid you will need at least a fourth-grade world, which is very valuable." Potisha asked with curiosity.
"Oh, it has nothing to do with my master. My master doesn't like to eat... well, it's hard to say, but he doesn't like these ordinary 'good things' anyway. He likes them more." Li Qi waved his hand and said so.
If Teacher Zhu has a craving for food and wants to eat... he should eat something more exciting, such as peaches.
He will never accept the food obtained through formal channels. He must go to the Yaochi in the Heavenly Palace and pick it with his own hands.
Yaochi invited me? I must not go there. I must sneak in when it is dark and no one is around, otherwise the food will be tasteless.
For nothing else, I just like this excitement.
"Not the master? Then?" Potisha was a little confused.
"It's another elder. He is a magic weapon. Recently, he needs to use these ingredients to make some food. It should be more important to him. I am just an errand boy. It is not convenient for him to come to the East China Sea. He said it is easy to meet enemies." Li Qi smiled.
The sea cooking pot should be purchased on a daily basis, but recently the sparks of the fight between Rendao and Donghai have been flying, so he probably can't come, otherwise the real dragon will probably knock him into scrap metal.
"So that's how it is. Such a big thing can be entrusted to the young master to handle alone. This is really... trust. Although the young master has a bright future, he is only a seventh-rank after all. How dare they let you come to the deep ocean of the East China Sea..." Potisa sighed.
"This is the world. People dare not walk around here. What if they want to travel outside the domain in the future? Can you really stay at home and be a lady?" Li Qi said with a smile.
