Chapter 167 Twenty-three bowls of Laba porridge

"I am Chu Yuan."

Chu Yuan didn't stand up either, he just looked at the other person and said.

"So this young man is the leader of the Chu Gang. He is indeed a handsome man. No wonder he was able to found a gang like the Yunlong Gang and is known as the best martial artist in the Central Plains."

After the Dragon Island Lord looked at Chu Yuan for a moment, he smiled and said.

"I have long heard that Gang Master Chu is a powerful martial artist. It is said that even my useless disciple and Brother Long's disciple have been defeated by Gang Master Chu. If it weren't for the Laba Festival banquet today, I would really like to have a fight with Gang Master Chu to see how powerful he is."

At this time, the island master Mu, who was wearing a green robe, also said to Chu Yuan.

The words of the Lord of Longmu Island moved the leaders of the martial arts sects and the heroes of the martial arts world, even Bai Zizai, who were present.

The disciples of the two island masters...will have a chance to fight with Chu Yuan!
Aren’t they the two envoys who were sent to the Central Plains this time to distribute the orders to reward the good and punish the evil!
They had only heard rumors that Xie Yanke had been defeated by Chu Yuan before, but they did not expect that even the two envoys in charge of rewarding the good and punishing the evil had been defeated by Chu Yuan.

From this point of view, what Xie Yanke said to Bai Zizai before, that he was defeated by Chu Yuan, was most likely true.

Because if even the two envoys of rewarding good and punishing evil were defeated by Chu Yuan.

It was only natural that Xie Yanke was defeated by Chu Yuan.

Between Xie Yanke and the envoy who rewards the good and punishes the evil, who is weaker and who is stronger...that is a matter of opinion.

Most people think that rewarding good and punishing evil will improve martial arts.

Xie Yanke's name "Motian Jushi" is well-known in the Central Plains martial arts world and he is known as a top master.

But he couldn't do it like the two envoys who reward the good and punish the evil, and overwhelm the entire martial arts world with his own martial arts.

"I heard that Gang Leader Chu not only accepted the token of the Yunlong Gang, but also accepted the token for the Qingcheng Sect. Did you let us two disciples break the rules that have been set by Xiake Island for many years?"

Then the Dragon Island Lord changed the subject.

Chu Yuan looked at the Dragon Island Master and said, "I am the leader of two sects and the leader of a gang. Can't I accept two tokens?"

The Dragon Island Lord smiled and said, "It's okay. It's not a particularly important rule anyway. If it's broken, it's broken."

Island Master Mu also said: "Anyway, it's not just Gang Leader Chu who broke the rules this time. Let me ask one more question, which gang leader Shi Potian is the young hero?"

Seeing that the two island masters actually mentioned him, Shi Potian said, "I am Shi Potian."

Island Master Mu stroked his beard as he looked at Shi Potian and smiled, "According to what my disciple said, you are even better than Gang Leader Chu. You hold the positions of the head of Shangqing Temple, the leader of Changle Gang, and the fourth leader of Yunlong Gang. Fortunately, you didn't take the token of the leader of Yunlong Gang, otherwise you would have to take three tokens from our Xiake Island."

Shi Potian said a little embarrassedly: "Island Master, there is nothing I can do. These three sects are all related to me."

The two island masters, Long and Mu, smiled at each other. Long said, "We are just talking about this interesting incident, and we would like to get to know two young heroes. Although Gang Leader Chu and Gang Leader Shi are young, their achievements in martial arts are higher than many martial arts masters."

Island Master Mu said: "Since everyone is here, let's start the banquet!"

As he spoke, the island master of Longmu Island looked towards the middle-aged disciple in yellow shirt and with a beard standing beside him.

The yellow-shirted disciple said in a long voice: "The auspicious time has arrived, let's start the banquet!"

Then two rows of servants came out from the caves on the left and right sides, pouring wine for everyone and serving dishes.

There are four plates and four bowls on each table, with eight kinds of dishes, including chicken, meat, fish and shrimp, and the aroma is fragrant.

Many martial arts heroes were tempted.

But in their hearts, they were extremely cautious. Everyone looked alert and no one picked up their chopsticks, for fear of being tricked by the Knight Island.

After all, it is an indisputable fact that none of the sect leaders and heroes who went to the island three times in the first thirty years returned to the Central Plains.

Regardless of everyone's reaction, the servants continued to serve the food.

After all the dishes were served, the servants brought a bowl of dark green porridge from a lacquered tray to each person and placed it in front of everyone.

"Everyone, on this Laba Festival, we are gathered on Xiake Island to celebrate the festival together, please!"

The two island masters, Longmu, took the lead in picking up their wine glasses and spoke to the leaders of various martial arts sects in the Central Plains and the heroes in the cave.

Everyone held up the wine in the cup and saw that the color of the wine was also dark green. Everyone felt that the wine in the cup was poisonous and could cause stomach rupture after drinking. They all looked embarrassed and no one drank it.

The two island masters Longmu drank the wine in their cups, put down their cups, and seeing that everyone was still reluctant to drink, they smiled and said, "Why, are you afraid that this wine is poisoned?"

Chu Yuan, Shi Potian, Ding Dian and Di Yun were not afraid. The four of them had strong internal skills to protect their bodies, and they drank the wine in the cups.

To take a step back, even if the wine in the cup was poison, it was just a small cup and it would not take their lives.

"Well, the four leaders of the Yunlong Gang are really brave enough."

Seeing Chu Yuan and the other three being the first to drink the wine in their cups, the Dragon Island Lord praised them.

"The Yunlong Gang is indeed the largest gang in the world, and the gang leaders are extremely courageous."

The island master Mu also said.

Seeing Chu Yuan and the other three taking the lead in drinking, the leaders and heroes of the other Central Plains martial arts sects were suddenly in an extremely difficult situation.

"You four are the only ones capable, but you're just trying to be strong, and you're causing trouble for the rest of us!"

Many people blamed Chu Yuan and the other three in their hearts.

However, due to the extraordinary strength just demonstrated by the Xiake Island, they did not dare to reject the two island masters, Long Mu, in person and offend them.

A small number of people drank the wine in the glass with the idea of ​​being ready to die, while most people just dipped their lips in the wine and pretended to do so.

After everyone finished drinking, another servant immediately came forward and poured wine into everyone's glasses.

After drinking the wine, Chu Yuan immediately realized that although the wine was slightly toxic, it had little effect on the human body.

At the same time, there was a complex medicinal power in the wine that was increasing his internal strength.

But now his internal strength has reached the limit, so this glass of wine has no effect on him.

As for toxicity…

So a little toxic.

As long as a person has strong internal strength and drinks less alcohol, he can refine the poison.

"In this case, the wine we just drank should be similar to the two poisonous wines, Ice Wine and Fiery Wine, on the bodies of the two envoys who reward good and punish evil. Although they are poisonous, they can also increase internal strength after the poison is refined."

Chu Yuan said secretly in his heart.

"You have come from afar, and you are the distinguished guests of the Island of Heroes. In addition to the ordinary food, the only thing we can treat you to is the specialty of the Island of Heroes, the Laba Congee. Please feel free to enjoy it."

After toasting everyone three times with wine, the Dragon Island Lord said to the guests.

Everyone then turned their gaze towards their own desk, where there was a bowl of porridge with steam rising from it. The color was still dark green and looked like neither vegetable nor grass.

"The ingredients of this item are precious, and the most important ingredient is a herb called the Heart-breaking Bone-Eroding Heart-Rotting Grass, which has its full medicinal effect only after it blooms. But this herb only blooms once every ten years. We on the Island of Heroes will wait until it blooms before inviting fellow martial artists to come and share it. This is the fourth time we have invited you to come and share it. Please, please, you are welcome."

Master Mu picked up the Laba porridge on the table and invited everyone to share it.

The heads and heroes of all the major martial arts sects in the Central Plains all turned green in the face, looking as pale as death.

Especially when I heard that the Laba porridge contained the heart-breaking and bone-eating heart-rotting grass.

And this "Heartbreaking Bone-Eroding Heart-Rotting Grass"...

Just hearing the name, it sounds like this is an extremely poisonous weed that will cause your intestines and stomach to rupture if you eat a little bit of it.

The leader of the Island of Heroes told them his purpose very frankly. It seemed that he really didn't even want to pretend and was sure to defeat them.

"I'll try the poison for you first. Brother Chu, do you want to join us?"

The others looked ashen, but Shi Potian didn't care at all. He said to Chu Yuan who was sitting next to him.

"Silly boy, haven't you heard? There are poisonous weeds in this porridge. You are going to die."

Seeing that Shi Potian was about to drink the dark green Laba porridge recklessly, Bai Zizai hurriedly tried to dissuade him.

Shi Potian is his granddaughter's husband, and he must bring Shi Potian back alive, otherwise his granddaughter Bai Axiu will not have a husband of her dreams.

"Big Brother, Second Brother, is this poisonous?"

Shi Potian ignored Bai Zizai's persuasion, but took the Laba porridge in front of him and walked up to his two sworn brothers Zhang San and Li Si who were standing in front of him and said.

Zhang San and Li Si did not say whether it was poisonous or not, but asked their servants to bring two bowls of the same dark green Laba porridge.

"Brother Shi, if you trust us, we will drink this bowl of porridge with you."

Zhang San said with a smile.

"Grandpa, look at my two brothers, they are willing to drink porridge with me, which means this porridge is not poisonous."

Shi Potian turned around and said to Bai Zizai who was not far away.

"Who knows? Maybe the porridge they gave us was poisonous, but the porridge we drank was not."

Bai Zizai was suspicious.

"I believe my two sworn brothers will not harm me."

Shi Potian said seriously.

After saying that, he held the porridge and was about to drink it with Zhang San and Li Si. "Wait, Gou Ge is a member of our Yunlong Gang, how can we let him take risks alone? I am willing to drink this bowl of Laba porridge with him."

Chu Yuan was still sitting in his seat, with his bamboo stick placed on the side of the table. He picked up the Laba porridge on the table with both hands and said.

"I am willing."

"I would like that too."

Ding Dian and Di Yun hesitated for only a moment before they picked up the dark green Laba porridge on the table in front of them.

They remembered what Chu Yuan had said to them before they went to the island, and they believed that Chu Yuan would not harm them.

Seeing the four leaders of the Yunlong Gang once again immediately serving Laba porridge, Dragon Island Lord said with a smile: "Well, it seems that the Yunlong Gang is not only Leader Chu and Leader Shi, but also has other heroes."

Island Master Mu picked up the Laba porridge on the table in front of him and said, "We two island masters will share it with you."

Then a few of them raised their heads and drank the Laba porridge in the bowl in front of them in one gulp.

Ding Dian and Di Yun, who were originally feeling a little nervous, found that after drinking the Laba porridge, the dark green porridge was not as unpalatable as they had imagined. Instead, it had a bitter taste of medicinal herbs.

Not only that, after drinking this bowl of Laba porridge, their faces turned red and they broke out in sweat, as if they were drunk and felt a little dizzy.

Ding Dian and Di Yun secretly cried out in their hearts, "Could it be that Brother Chu and Brother Shi are wrong in their estimation, and there really is a poison in this Laba porridge that can cause stomach rupture?"

After drinking this bowl of Laba porridge, Chu Yuan immediately realized that the medicinal properties of this bowl of Laba porridge were dozens of times stronger than the wine in the glass just now.

Not only that, there is no toxicity.

It should have been neutralized by other drugs and the toxicity was removed by the people from Xiake Island.

In this way, Laba porridge becomes a natural treasure that can enhance one's internal strength after drinking it.

It was also the first time that Chu Yuan had enjoyed it.

"I just don't know which one is more effective, this thing or the gallbladder of the Pusqu snake, plus Liang Ziweng's medicinal snake!"

Chu Yuan said secretly in his heart.

"Good porridge. I wonder how many bowls of this porridge each of us can have?"

After Chu Yuan put down the porcelain bowl in his hand, he looked as if he was still unsatisfied and said to the two island masters, Long Mu, who were sitting on the main seat.

"According to past practice, it would be considered a stretch for people who come to the island to drink one bowl, but the leaders of the Yunlong Gang are all true heroes. Since Leader Chu asked, we will make an exception today. We will supply as much as you can drink!"

The Dragon Island Lord laughed.

"Two island masters, are you serious?"

Chu Yuan said.

The reason why he raised this question was not for himself, but for Ding Dian and Di Yun.

Today, his martial arts skills are considered the best in the world, and his internal strength can never be improved. After drinking this Laba porridge, it has limited effect on him.

But Ding Dian and Di Yun benefited greatly from drinking it.

Especially Ding Dian, his qualifications are limited.

Drinking a few more bowls of Laba porridge can greatly improve Ding Dian's martial arts. He may even be able to master the "Shenzhaojing" in one fell swoop, open up the Ren and Du meridians, and become the world's top master.

"Of course it's true!"

After Longmu Island Master and Mu Island Master smiled at each other, they said.

"But we have to remind Boss Chu that although this Laba porridge is good, drinking too much of it is harmful. You need to drink Laba porridge according to your ability."

Then the Dragon Island Lord reminded.

This is the fourth time that Xiake Island has held the Laba Banquet.

In the past, the most they had seen people drink was only three bowls of Laba porridge.

"Of course I know that."

Chu Yuan smiled.

"In that case, let's serve porridge to the leaders of the Yunlong Gang."

At a command from Island Master Mu, another servant brought a bowl of Laba porridge to Chu Yuan and his companions.

Hearing the conversation between Chu Yuan and the two island masters of Xiake Island, many leaders and heroes of the Central Plains martial arts gangs secretly muttered in their hearts:
"Why does Boss Chu look like one bowl is not enough and he wants more? Is there any poison in this Laba porridge, or is it some kind of treasure?"

Little did they know that their unintentional guess was actually correct.

Chu Yuan and Shi Potian, seeing new Laba porridge being served, did not hesitate and continued to drink it.

After the initial panic, Ding Dian and Di Yun found that their internal strength was increasing rapidly. They were immediately delighted. They realized that Laba porridge was not a poison, but a tonic that could increase internal strength.

No wonder Chu Yuan said before that going to Xiake Island is not a bad thing, but a good thing.

The two of them remained calm and wolfed down the Laba porridge.

As a result, Ding Dian and Di Yun only drank the third bowl, and fell on the table before they finished the third bowl.

"The two leaders of the Yunlong Gang have fallen asleep. Let's take them down to rest."

The Lord of Dragon Island said after seeing this scene.

Immediately, servants came forward and carried Ding Dian and Di Yun down to rest.

Seeing Ding Dian and Di Yun being carried away unconscious, the doubts in everyone's mind about the reduction of Laba porridge surfaced in their minds, which made many people retreat timidly again.

Seeing Chu Yuan and Shi Potian still asking Long Mu and the other island masters for porridge, they brought their bowls of porridge to Chu Yuan and Shi Potian and said, "Master Chu, Master Shi, we are not thirsty, so we'll give you this porridge."

Chu Yuan and Shi Potian had no objection.

Chu Yuan nodded and said, "Put it here!"

But some people couldn't resist trying it out of curiosity, and the result was a bright spot for them.

Everyone discovered the benefits of Laba porridge and after putting aside their doubts, they drank the porridge in big gulps. However, many people only drank one bowl and then fell on the table.

Bai Zizai, who claimed to be the best in the world, was unwilling to lose face to young people like Chu Yuan and Shi Potian, so he also started to drink Laba porridge. However, he fell on the table and lost consciousness after drinking only three bowls.

Ding Bu Si only drank two bowls before following in Bai Zizai's footsteps.

In the banquet hall, people were constantly carried away by the servants to rest.

On the contrary, Chu Yuan and Shi Potian kept drinking the Laba porridge in front of them as if they were having a drinking contest.

Zhang San and Li Si, as Shi Potian's sworn brothers, accompanied Chu Yuan and Shi Potian at the beginning, but after drinking five bowls in a row, they went downstairs to rest on the grounds of feeling unwell.

However, Shi Potian drank eight bowls in a row, staggered for a while, and fell to the ground. He was carried away by people sent by the owner of Longmu Island.

In the end, there was no one left in the banquet hall. Everyone fell to the ground unconscious and was carried away.

Chu Yuan seemed to be unaffected by the Laba porridge and continued to drink it. The two island masters, Long Mu, were secretly shocked and their eyes were full of amazement.

Because there were already eighteen empty bowls placed in front of Chu Yuan.

In other words, Chu Yuan just drank eighteen bowls of Laba porridge.

Finally, after drinking five more bowls, there was no more extra Laba porridge on the Island of Heroes for Chu Yuan to drink. Chu Yuan did not ask any servants to help him. He leaned on the bamboo stick in his hand and went to the place arranged by the Island of Heroes to rest steadily.

"Brother Long, the young are really formidable!"

Looking at Chu Yuan's departing back, Island Master Mu sighed.

"Brother Mu, how many bowls of Laba porridge have you and I had in the past?"

Lord Long asked Lord Mu beside him.

"When you and I drank Laba porridge, we didn't drink more than ten bowls at most. The Laba porridge that this Chu Gang Leader just drank was actually more than the two of us combined."

The island master Mu was amazed.

Although Laba porridge is made from poisonous ingredients, it is also a tonic.

However, because the medicinal properties are too strong, when drinking it, you need deep internal strength to assist in refining the medicinal power!

The higher your internal strength, the more Laba porridge you can drink.

Once you drink too much Laba porridge and it exceeds the endurance limit of your internal strength, you will fall into a sleep as if you were drunk. The internal strength in your body will refine the medicinal power of the Laba porridge, and you will wake up again with greatly increased strength.

To put it another way, the more Laba porridge one can drink, the higher his internal strength is.

Chu Yuan just drank twenty-three bowls of Laba porridge, which means that the internal strength of this young man is unparalleled in the world.

If he says first, no one dares to say second.

"I originally heard from my disciple that Gang Leader Shi was already a rare talent, but now it seems that Gang Leader Chu is the real hidden talent."

The Dragon Island Lord exclaimed.
