Chapter 819 Yuan Family (4200)

Finally, An Jing and his group chose a hot pot restaurant.

[Ma Hotpot], a simple and plain name, with rather rustic decoration, is a hotpot restaurant recommended by Teacher Guang. It is located deep in the alley and has a lot of traffic. However, Teacher Guang himself is an old customer and soon we got to a private room.

“I’ve always been curious about where these ingredients come from.”

In the private room, sitting on a small red plastic chair, An Jing read the menu and ordered several servings of tender beef, but was more cautious about other ingredients such as tripe – he actually had hardly eaten hot pot, and was quite cautious about these unfamiliar things. He even did not order a shabu-shabu pot at the suggestion of Teacher Guang, but only ordered the classic beef oil pot base.

In his previous life, An Jing was always fighting in wars. After the war, he lived a peaceful life for a few years, but supplies were in short supply. He spent most of the time cooking for the martial arts school. Then he died of radiation sickness and other complications of cancer and organ failure. Hot pot was too stimulating and he could not eat it.

But even so, An Jing was very clear that hot pot… was probably not something that could be eaten in the end times.

Even in his previous life, the food rationing system ended three years after the reconstruction work was completed.

“In fact, there are livestock areas and related spiritual material production areas in the southern jungles and coastal areas. There is also a large spiritual vein there, with many safe areas, but no cities have been built there.”

Nianquan and Huo Qing were both low-level people, and they were not very clear about this aspect, and they would not usually inquire about this information. Instead, Zhang Zhuo came back to his senses from the big scene just now, and quickly answered An Jing’s doubts: “Several beast owners who cooperate with our human race need a production area for bloodline experiments. Our agricultural base is there. The entire plain is full of agricultural buildings, and the output is extremely high.”

“In addition, there are many pastoral areas that originally planned to breed some new types of spiritual beasts. These evil cattle that can adapt to the land after the disaster are one of the products. Unfortunately, very few can breed spiritual intelligence. We recycle the waste and use it as food supply.”

“Because it is a spiritual beast, it has a double screening for demonic energy. It has spiritual energy inside and is quite nourishing to the body, so many cultivators are willing to spend money to eat it. As for the price, five or six good deeds are enough for one person to eat a meal. It is indeed a little expensive, but it is still affordable.”

“Is that so?”

An Jing glanced at the price list and found that the price was indeed not expensive. Five good deeds could buy many cans of meat, but there are always people who don’t want to eat synthetic meat every day. It is not uncommon for them to indulge themselves when they make a little money.

However, in this case, his doubts turned to another aspect: “The beast masters should be those powerful spirit beasts, right?”

“Although they don’t have intelligence, they are still their kind. Is it really okay for us humans to eat spiritual beasts like this?”

“They eat it themselves.”

Teacher Guang ordered many dishes quickly. She was frightened by the attack of Zhenren Zhenjun just now, but now she has completely let it go – don’t worry about it, the most important thing is to enjoy the meal.

With a mixture of excitement and self-abandonment, she finished scanning the menu and explained, “The beast masters are all great demon gods comparable to Nascent Souls. To put it bluntly, the breeding of spirit beasts is their industry, and their original bodies are all divine beasts of good fortune, or even innate true spirits. I can say that the relationship between these acquired spirit beasts and them is even greater than the gap between humans and bananas.”

“If they have intelligence, then it’s fine, we can take them in as members. If not, then they are just meat animals. Do humans consider monkeys as their own kind?”

At this point, Mr. Guang shook his finger and said seriously, “Impossible.”

“Not to mention, the real purpose of the beast masters is to create a new ecosystem that can gradually repair the current apocalyptic environment, as well as new creatures and transformation directions that adapt to the current environment. This is collectively supported by the four major groups. Their status is beyond everyone’s imagination. This respect from all of us humans comes from the heart. It is impossible for them to… empathize with the meat animals.”

This is indeed the truth.

An Jing could understand this situation, but he still felt it was a little strange. He said to himself, “Creating a new ecology and new species? It is the same as what the Taiming Sect has prepared. Although the martial arts cultivation technology is quite perfect in the hands of the Taiming Sect, if it is to be used in the Tianyuan Realm, it does need to be verified with the local technology.”

“but……”

An Jing thought of Qing Shuyu.

I thought of the ‘artificial spiritual roots’ in the underground of the Yekan Gang.

The completely stripped-off bones made from human materials; the technology that arbitrarily transferred consciousness and transferred human souls to beast bodies to make slaves for fun… There is no doubt that it is related to the research direction of the beast master.

In fact, it is the same type of technology.

Perhaps, the real goal of the beast masters is indeed to benefit all living beings.

However, once this extreme biological transformation technology becomes widespread and is used for selfish entertainment and for rampant human desires… the darkness that can be created will absolutely be beyond the imagination of everyone in the old era.

“Wow, that’s so exaggerated, there’s a post about it now.”

On the other side, Huo Qing and Nian Quan were huddled together, seemingly browsing some forum. Nian Quan stretched out his voice and said, “The Yuan family didn’t have any control? Even such a video has been leaked. It’s incredible. What on earth are they thinking?”

In front of their eyes, rows of light pages that only they could see were being flipped through. It was a certain livelihood forum in Xuanye City, where there were many posts marked in red and their popularity was soaring.

[Breaking news, a conflict between Zifu Zhenren occurred around the Jinlong Building in the Central District! ]

[Fairies scatter flowers suddenly appear in Jinlong Building (picture) (picture) (picture) (video)]

[An Xuan fights Yin Yanwei, is Jingwei College going to go to war with the Yuan family? ]

Don’t be fooled by the fact that An Jing and others are eating hotpot here as if nothing has happened. In fact, what they are doing is like a meteorite hitting the sea, making the already turbulent waves even more turbulent.

Post after post, video and picture taken by different people appeared in forums and private chat topics one after another. The entire spiritual network around Xuanye City was full of this rare event!

Although the path of immortality does not mean all conspiracies and calculations, there are also head-on confrontations, but it is very rare for someone like An Xuan to strike hard at the Fengdu Guards and the big families. It goes without saying that most ordinary cultivators hate the cops and the masters. Many people began to use An Xuan’s battle records to edit pictures, and made many emoticons and Cyber ​​Amber animated pictures to humiliate the Jiantian Bureau and the Yuan family.

Originally, this kind of chaos would be quickly cleared up by the Xunxuan Internet Monitor. Although it would not be suppressed to the point of inviting people to have tea, all posts humiliating the Jiantian Bureau and the Yuan family would definitely be deleted and locked.

But now, nothing happened.

Everything is getting more and more serious, and keen people have also discovered some unusual news from it.

[Could it be that those rumors are true? Is there someone behind An Xuan? ]

[It’s so big that even the Yuan family can’t suppress it, and they dare not delete it even after being slapped in the face? How big is it? 】

[At least he is a True Lord. Damn, I thought this An Xuan really rose from the grassroots, but it turns out he is also a descendant of a wealthy family. I am speechless.]

[You are an idiot. Even if An Xuan is really a grassroots, with his talent, he must be a child of a powerful family now. You don’t think that people with real talent will always be grassroots, right? ]

[Grassroots joining the Guiyi Army is no longer a real grassroots. If you have such a severe mysophobia, you can only say that you are mentally ill. Do you really think that there is someone who can defeat all the aristocratic groups by himself? 】【Who cares? For a shitty aristocratic family like the Yuan family, let alone being slapped in the face by An Xuan, I would feel great even if the Li family destroyed him! 】

Of course, in addition to this, there are also some entertaining posts.

[How do you evaluate An Xuan’s performance? (multiple pictures)]

[On why An Xuan is the strongest among the younger generation in terms of foundation building strength, and recommendations for the most anticipated players in the Four Cities Competition]

[An Xuan vs. Feng Yuxuan vs. Qi Luoyang vs. Shang Yuguang (not a beast fight)]

[Judging from the performance, An Xuan will definitely beat Yan Chengju]

[Wow, do we need to see this? An Xuan ate ten Yan Chengju in one gulp! ]

[Rational discussion, no slander or argument, An Xuan can beat at least 150 Yan Chengju]

“Hahaha, isn’t this Yan Chengju’s nickname? He’s making fun of himself!” “He’s also a wonderful person. Although all the students in No. 1 Middle School are young masters from aristocratic families who are arrogant, he can be considered a human being at least.”

“What are you looking at? Why are you smiling so happily?”

Out of curiosity, An Jing also joined in and joined the conversation of Huo Qing and others and saw these topics.

“Damn it! What do you mean it’s not a beast fight? This is a beast fight!”

As soon as he scanned the posts, he couldn’t hold back. An Jing had played online games in his previous life and was very familiar with the forums. The forums in this other world were essentially the same as those on Earth. “But most of them are optimistic about me. Is my record so impressive?”

“That’s not true.”

Nianquan smiled and said, “You survived the attack of the Purple Mansion Kun monster, wiped out the North Lake Marsh robbery cultivators, faced the enemy’s missile firepower position head-on, and led the two of us to wipe out the Yekan Gang, and then defeated a Purple Mansion real person head-on.”

“Even if it’s because of the magic weapon, this record is too valuable. You are now outside the Foundation Establishment Battle Power Ranking. The only ones who can be on par with you are the other perverts who have also defeated the Purple Mansion Great Demon.”

“There are some?”

Although An Jing was asking, he was not confused, because he knew very well that although he was indeed invincible at the same level, if a real Tianzong force was willing to cultivate, they could also cultivate a monster similar to himself, with a full body of seventh-level Taoist scriptures and innate magic weapons, and all complete numerical values ​​and mechanisms.

Although there are different levels of monsters, and he is definitely the biggest one, to the people below, his existence is enough to make them despair.

“Of course there are some. In the Four Cities Competition, the No. 1 seed from each city is roughly at this level. Even though Yan Chengju is quite strong, even if he has mastered the Five Spirits Rotation and Primordial Qi, he can only barely reach this level.”

Nian Quan knew that he was actually only on par with Yan Chengju, but to reach the level of a true genius monster, a mere Tianhe Sword of Life and Death was not enough. He must undergo a fundamental evolution, and evolution would only mean crossing the threshold to becoming an enemy of them.

This is the gap between cultivators in first-tier cities and world-class cities!

“This Yuan family…has a very bad reputation.”

After the dishes were served, An Jing watched Teacher Guang eagerly prepare the duck blood, braised beef and duck feet, then he scalded the beef himself and continued browsing the posts.

He shifted his gaze to the silent Qu Tong beside him thoughtfully: “It seems that the reason why I have such a good name and reputation is because I beat Yuanjia Zhenren – are they really so notorious?”

“of course.”

It was Xiu Yu who spoke. The three members of the Guiyi Army were just chatting in private, most likely about An Jing. At this moment, Xiu Yu heard An Jing’s words and explained, “The Yuan family is an old family. In the Dao Court era, they also produced Yuanshen Tianzun. The [Heavenly Flame Patrol World Suppressing Evil Gold Seal] they possess originated from the [Flame Melting True Spirit Seal], one of the Five Emperors of the Dao Court. It is said that part of this ancient Taoist scripture is in their treasure house. They are one of the largest families in Xuanye City. The Yuan family had a share in the establishment of the Tianjian Bureau back then.”

“The Yuan family was indeed a symbol of being discerning and impartial in enforcing the law. However, as the three ancestors of the Yuan family died in the demonic calamity one after another, the descendants gradually changed.”

“Is it necessary to save face in private?”

It was a very euphemistic way of saying it, but everyone knew what this so-called “changed” meant. Tieshou shrugged and waved his prosthetic limbs as if to drive away the stench of something dirty: “He has become a piece of stinky shit, and he only knows how to use his connections to break the law and enrich himself.”

“An Xuan, you don’t know that the Yuan family is the biggest backer of all the lawyers in Xuan Ye City. Any child of an aristocratic family or a Purple Mansion Immortal who commits a crime, even if it’s rape, murder, torture, or betrayal of teammates, will be spared as long as they are related to them. They will be imprisoned for a dozen years at most and then released to continue to live freely.”

“And they also have a lot of connections in the prison system. Many prisoners from aristocratic families, as long as they have good deeds, can still practice in prison, eat delicacies from land and sea, and have access to spirit gathering arrays and spiritual supplies. Hehe, enforcing the law impartially, with the Great Sun patrolling the sky? Maybe that was the case at first, but now, I’m afraid it’s not the Dark Sun patrolling the sky!”

Tie Shou said this with disdain, obviously because there were other outsiders present, so he didn’t say a lot of things. After all, they were members of the Guiyi Army, and they knew all the dirty tricks of various families: “In Xuanye City, if we kill all the families, there may be a few innocent people, but if we kill every family, most of them will definitely be missed!”

An Jing noticed that as Tie Shou sneered, Qu Tong on the side gradually clenched his fists.

Not only that… a feeling of resentment that An Jing was quite familiar with and had encountered there before vaguely emerged from him.

Although it is extremely weak, the feeling is the same.

That was… the smell of ‘fire of hatred’ that An Jing had felt at the source of the great catastrophe in Huaixu Realm, caused by the death and degeneration of countless lives.

“Oh?”

With his mind made up, An Jing stuffed a piece of blanched beef into his mouth and said, “Qu Tong, don’t be so reserved. I don’t care what you did in the past. You are working under me now, so just say whatever you want to say.”

Qu Tong raised his head. The middle-aged man, who looked a little haggard but whose eyes were red with anger, looked at An Jing.

He opened his mouth and slowly uttered a few words.

“That’s them.”

He whispered, clenching his fists tighter and tighter: “It’s them…”

“One of the two playboys who fought each other and killed my wife and daughter… was from the Yuan family!”
