The small texture plate of the stone general who returned to his bedroom, Wei Xun's voice transmission jade pendant and Xia Rong's voice transmission jade pendant were placed on the yard table. He wanted to see who among them would find him first.

However, Shi Wu miscalculated this time. Compared with the three objects on the table, the Luan Su Palace token on his waist was the first to light up. He injected his spiritual power into the Luan Su Palace token and started a real-time call with Luan Su Ling.

"Congratulations. There will be countless people who want to make friends with you after today." said Luan Suling.

Shi Wu asked: "To return to the perfect level of spiritual liquid?"

"Yes. But there will be a lot of troubles that follow." Luan Suling said sure.

Shi Wu smiled and said, "It seems that I overestimated the leader's ability."

Luan Suling said in a deep voice: "You also overestimate the strength of Ding Yangling's side."

"How do you say this?" Shi Wu said in confusion.

Luan Suling told me: "Just just now, Ding Yang Ling came to me through the contact plate. He gave a high evaluation of your performance in the assessment of the fourth-grade spiritual food. At the same time, he told me that the three spiritual liquids you refined were all obtained by the leader. On the surface, he wanted me to remind you to be careful of the leader, but in fact he was worried that the leader would recruit you again."

"If the leader and Ding Yangling's trippers broke out head-on, how much chance of winning between the two sides?" Shi Wu asked.

Luan Suling said: "There are 60% of the leaders of the alliance, and the maximum number of the dishes of Ding Yang Ling is 40%.

"The leader of the alliance is really tolerant. I saw that the Lingshen Department, the third stronghold in the north, was Xia Rong as the chief director. I thought that the power of the Lingshen Department of Ding Yang was at least equal to the Alliance Leader or even slightly higher." Shi Wudao.

Luan Suling explained: "The reason why the leader of the alliance does not fight in these places is because there is no need. For example, all the utensils in your spiritual chef's assessment this time, the eight audio and video stones were taken by the leader to give Xia Rong. As for the three bottles of spiritual liquid you refined, Xia Rong didn't even touch it. Even if Ding Yang Lingshi's spiritual chef is not convinced in private, once he moves to the open, he still has to keep the rules he should follow."

Shi Wu commented: "It seems that the best thing to stay neutral is."

"I'm afraid that your neutral state will not last long. The leader of the alliance is not like Ding Yang Ling, who can only speculate based on your video and video scenes. He is practicing the Spiritual Division. He should have found out from the three spiritual liquids you have refined that you are using the origin of fire throughout the whole process. Next, he will either take you for yourself or find an opportunity to kill you." Luan Suling said.

Shi Wu said helplessly: "The water in Lingchen Alliance is too deep."

Luan Suling’s meal teacher said explicitly: “The third stronghold in the north can protect you until the end of the spiritual meal ceremony at most.”

"Can't you delay further?" Shi Wu asked.

Luan Suling said: "This is the limit I can predict. The most terrifying thing about the leader is to guard against Yu Weiran. He will not allow a genius who has hatred with him to grow to an uncontrollable level."

Shi Wu sighed: "The most difficult thing in life is indeed choice, especially the choices that are forced to make."

After thinking about it, Luan Suling suggested: "If it really doesn't work, just go into seclusion in Luan Su Palace. I will join hands with my friends to apply for an opportunity to exempt you from the inspection of the Spiritual Food Ceremony."

Shi Wu suddenly felt tired and said, "Dinner Luan Suling, do you think if I withdraw from the Lingchen Alliance, will the leader still deal with me?"

Luan Suling asked back, "Tell me honestly first, what are your plans for joining the Lingchen Alliance?"

Shi Wu retained the most important reason: "I promised a junior that when I go up to the high position of the Spiritual Season League, I will change some rules of the Spiritual Season League so that those Spiritual Season apprentices are also qualified to sell their own refined spiritual seasons. As for me personally, I want to obtain information related to the origin of fire through the Spiritual Season League, and then improve my own cultivation."

"It doesn't make any sense for you to withdraw from the Lingchen Alliance now. Even if you keep your name hidden, you won't get peace. If you really can't hold on, then join the leader's side. I think if the leader and Ding Yang Ling's meal head-on, the winner should be the leader's side." Luan Suling said.

Shi Wu constrained his mind and said, "The cultivation world is still so cruel. It seems that during the time when I was delaying, I have to do some important things outside."

"No matter what, I will respect your choice." said Luan Suling.

Shi Wu half-jokingly said, "Aren't you afraid that I will run away?"

Luan Suling's meal teacher smiled and said, "The Shi Wu I know will be honest. From the moment you say you want to do the important things outside, I know that you are ready to meet the test from the Lingchen Alliance with all your heart."

"If you want to say this, I, a deserter, will be difficult for me to do it." Shi Wudao.

Luan Suling chuckled and said, "Before leaving, I'll send you out of the third stronghold in the north."

Shi Wu said, "Okay. But you have to wait until the leader comes to me before talking. I want to see what conditions the leader will offer this time."

Luan Suling nodded and removed the spiritual power from the token.

Shi Wuze was waiting for Wei Xun's news in the courtyard while thinking about countermeasures.

As Ding Yang Lingshi used audio and video stones to publicize Shi Wu's performance during the assessment of the fourth-grade spiritual healer, the monks in the third stronghold in the north began to discuss heatedly.

Some of them say that Shi Wu is a genius born for spiritual food, and his talent in spiritual food is rare in ancient and modern times.

Some said that the third stronghold in the north should protect Shiwu, so as not to attract jealous people to target him again.

...

The most exciting part of these people is Shi Wu's followers. They are proud of having the viewing area token in the ninth examination room of the southwest when Shi Wu participated in the ninth grade spiritual pedant. This means that they had followed him when Shi Wu was still a spiritual pedant apprentice. The price of objects related to the assessment of the ninth grade to middle fifth grade spiritual pedant, especially the viewing area token, has risen again.

Compared with the spiritual stewards at the bottom who can only look up to Shiwu, many of the fourth-grade middle-grade stewards who have friendship with Zhong Tianling, the upper-grade third-grade spiritual stewards asked him about the specific situation of the assessment. Zhong Tianling also spared no effort to promote Shiwu. He told everyone that Shiwu would hand over the perfect level of refined return-to-empty level spiritual liquid to him for sale in the future.

After hearing this, the friends of Zhong Tianling made reservations with him. They really wanted to try whether adding the spiritual liquid refined by Shiwu to their spiritual meals would improve the quality of the finished product.

The forces around the third stronghold in the north also quickly obtained information related to Shiwu.

When Hu Yong, Lu Yin and others entered this message in the small texture plate, the members of the texture association who saw it were surprised and asked Zou Wei to confirm to Shi Wu.

Zou Wei refused but contacted Shi Wu.

At this time, Shi Wu was planning for the future in the courtyard of the bedroom. He was preparing to wait for Wei Xun or Xia Rong to find him, and he would use the procrastination method to gain time. The only hope he could clearly define is the source of the saint-level fire source pill that Gu Fang refines. According to Gu Fang, the fire source pill can improve the source of fire, and a furnace can refine up to five. After taking it in the late stage of the Fire Spirit Root Cultivator in the Return Void, he has a 30% chance to increase the source of the fire to the level of the saint-level. He gave Gu Fang a total of two materials to refine the fire source pill. As long as he can use any of the fire source pills inside to increase the source of the fire to the level of the saint-level, the threat to him by the Xuanfeng Spirit Tripper will be greatly reduced. But there is still a big problem in this hope, that is time. He cannot determine whether Gu Fang can refine the source pill before the Xuanfeng Spirit Tripper takes action.

Compared to these things, Shi Wu will first save Tang Yun when he goes out this time. Since Tianchen Valley is six million miles east of the Moon Palace, and the outskirts of the Moon Palace have been shrouded by the Blood Sea Ancestor with Blood Sea mustard, if he faces the Blood Sea Ancestor, the movements he produces will inevitably attract Chen Lingzi. So he wanted to use Cang Yan Sword and some of the items on Chenxu as bait to lead Chen Lingzi away from Tianchen Valley.

Shi Wu was about to make a detailed plan when the small textured disk on his desk suddenly lit up. He knew that the textured members were sending him a separate chat request. He opened the small textured disk with a hint of expectation. After various messages flashed through the main light curtain, he saw Zou Wei's chat request coming to the right.

Shi Wu accepted Zou Wei's chat request while looking through the news on the main light curtain.

When Zou Wei saw that a brand new chat framework was born, he happily entered it and said, "Brother Shi, congratulations on your promotion to the fourth-grade spiritual chef!"

Shi Wu quickly turned to the conversation between Lu Yin, Mei Zi, Luo Guan and others when he went to buy the Phantom Spirit Pear yesterday. He felt that the members of the Texture Society had indeed helped each other. He looked at the congratulatory message from Zou Wei, and he replied: "Brother Zou, thank you. The last time the Heart Yin Fruit gift ceremony was a quick farewell, and it was eight years since the eyes were dazzling."

"Yes. Since you have already left the seclusion, the spiritual power level in your body must have risen to the late stage of returning to the virtual world." Zou Wei asked.

A smile appeared on Shi Wu's face, and he entered the message and said, "Well. Don't worry about you and Brother Lu now."

After seeing the news from Shi Wu, Zou Wei laughed and said, "Our texture club is not as strict as the Lingchen Alliance. With Lu Kang and you as your recommender, it is not that important whether you are a late-stage monk in the Return to Void."

Shi Wu grinned when he saw Zou Wei's words. He sent a message and said, "It's better to chat with Brother Zou."

"What's wrong with you?" Zou Wei saw that Shi Wu's words meant something else.

Shi Wu did not say in detail: "It's nothing, I just think the power within the Lingchen Alliance is too chaotic. I will become a fourth-grade spiritual chef today, and I may be ambushed tomorrow."

Zou Wei thought Shi Wu was talking about the assassination of Yinglangjun, so he replied: "Brother Shi, as long as you stay well in Luansu Palace, those evil people can't do anything to you. I have heard that the three spiritual liquids and spiritual meals you refined during the assessment have all been upgraded and reached perfect level. I believe that when you become the top third-grade spiritual meal, you will get more respect!"

Shi Wu looked at Zou Wei's message and didn't know how to reply for a moment. He finally entered the article and said, "When I was promoted to the top third-grade spiritual food, I will refine spiritual food for you and Brother Lu and others at the late stage of the Return to Void."

Zou Wei felt that Shi Wu seemed to be under some pressure. He comforted him: "Brother Shi, don't worry, you should follow your own pace. To be honest, I thought that you went to the third base in the north to participate in the assessment on a whim. I didn't expect you to become a top-third-grade spiritual chef to refine spiritual food at the late stage of the Return to Void. Looking at your achievements now, I can't help but feel that Lu Kang and I have a good vision!"

Seeing Zou Wei being so straightforward, Shi Wu smiled and entered the message and said, "Brother Zou, you are such a bright person."

"I was so praised by you that my old face turned red. Go and send a letter to everyone from the Texture Society and accept their blessings. We Texture Society finally have a third-grade spiritual steward. I think if the customer dares to be passive and slackened in the future." Zou Wei quipped.

Shi Wu uploaded the message on the main light curtain according to Zou Wei's intention: "Everyone, I did pass the middle fourth-grade spiritual chef assessment this morning."

Hu Yong, Lu Yin and others were chatting there and congratulating him after seeing Shi Wu’s message.

Shi Wu thanked them for their kindness and told them that he consumed a lot of the source of fire during the examination of the fourth-grade spiritual steward. He needed to go into seclusion and repair it after a while. After he came out of seclusion, he would participate in the examination of the third-grade spiritual steward.

Hu Yong and the others made Shi Wu adjust well, hoping that he could be promoted successfully in the future.

Shi Wu and Hu Yong and the others said goodbye and closed the small texture plate. Before Shi Wu could have any rest, Wei Xun's voice-transmitting jade pendant lit up.

Shi Wu looked serious and used his spiritual power to penetrate the voice-transmitting jade pendant. He heard Wei Xun's congratulations to him for being promoted to the fourth-grade spiritual chef. Shi Wu passed by and said, "Thank you, fellow Taoist Wei."

Wei Xun's voice came from the other end of the jade pendant: "Fellow Daoist Shi, I have prepared a pot of spiritual tea for you on the top floor of the Spiritual Season. The leader of the alliance asked me to discuss with you some things, why don't you come and have a drink and chat?"

When Shi Wu saw Wei Xun mentioning Xuan Ju Lingshi, he replied, "Fellow Daoist Wei, that's a coincidence. I have just prepared a pot of new millet tea here and I'll call you and send me a message. How about you coming to Luan Su Palace to have a tea treat today?"

Wei Xun hesitated for a while and replied, "Okay. Then wait."

Shi Wu took out Xiao Jun's voice-transmitting jade pendant and injected spiritual power: "Fellow Daoist Xiao, please inform the guards at the gate of Luan Su Palace and let them wait for Wei Xun to let him go."

Xiao Jun sent a voice reply: "Okay. Do you want me to prepare spiritual tea or spiritual wine for you?"

"No need. I'm not a friend today." After Shi Wu said that, he put away Xiao Jun's jade pendant.

After thirty breaths, Wei Xun appeared outside the Shiwu Palace. He looked at the bedroom where no one was guarding the formation barrier. He did not wait for Shiwu to greet him this time, and only said lightly: "I would like to ask Deputy Wei to sit in the courtyard."

Wei Xun stepped in and sat opposite Shi Wu. He saw that there was no Su Xincha on the table. He understood that Shi Wu no longer regarded him as a friend, and a hint of sadness flashed through his heart. But wasn't this the choice he made first?

Shi Wu said straight to the point: "Deputy Secretary Wei, I wonder what the leader of the alliance has to give?"

Wei Xun followed the instructions of Xuanzing Spiritual Trimmer: "The Fire Pattern Spiritual Trimmer, the leader appreciates your talents very much. The leader promised that as long as you swear to be loyal to him and let go of the hatred between you and the second stronghold of the Eastern Spiritual Trimmer League, he will jointly recommend it with your own forces when you are promoted to the top fifteenth spiritual meal list, helping you open the fourth stronghold of the Northern Spiritual Trimmer League and become the owner of the fifteenth stronghold of the Spiritual Trimmer League."

Even though Shi Wu had thought about the conditions that Xuanfeng Spiritual Tribute would offer, he really did not expect that Xuanfeng Spiritual Tribute would use a spiritual meal alliance base as a bargaining chip for trading.

Wei Xun was quietly waiting for Shi Wu's answer, and he suddenly looked forward to Shi Wu's rejection of the recruitment of Xuan Bing Lingshi.

After pausing for three breaths, Shi Wu said, "I hope Deputy Secretary Wei will help me tell the leader that I need time to consider it."

Wei Xun was very dissatisfied with Shi Wu's ambiguous answer: "The Fire-Striped Spiritual Tribute, the leader of the alliance doesn't like to wait."

"Deputy Secretary Wei is just a message, not a decision maker. You just need to go back and report to the leader, and I will give a reply before the spiritual meal ceremony begins. As for whether the leader wants to wait or no longer recruit, it is all decided by the leader." Shi Wu said firmly.

Wei Xun frowned and said, "Didn't the Fire-Style Spiritual Tripper meet the conditions of Ding Yang Ling Tripper?"

Shi Wu looked stern and said, "Deputy Secretary Wei, your speculation is a bit vicious."

Wei Xunyi said righteously: "I am just thinking about the unity of the Spiritual Season League. I hope the Fire-Screen Spiritual Seasoner will not do anything to split the Spiritual Season League."

Shi Wu laughed and said, "It seems that Director Xia is right. Deputy Director Wei has indeed been amazing in the past eight years. He is very skilled in using power and rhetoric."

Wei Xun said coldly: "Shi Wu, don't think that if the leader cherishes his talents, you can insult me ​​like this."

Shi Wu shook his head and said, "It's not an insult, but a compliment. Deputy Wei has got what he wants through his speech and power over the past eight years. This is a very inspiring thing no matter how you look at it. But you shouldn't use this on me."
