"Quick! Hold him down for me!"
"Carrying forbidden drugs in broad daylight and even eating them! You should at least hide it! You have no respect for us, the Thirteen Tai Bao of Tianshan Sword Manor, and our security profession."
"Give it to me... quickly give it to me... I can't take it anymore..."
In front of the Tianshan Sword Manor's mountain gate, the scene was in chaos.
The thirteen swordsmen responsible for security today included three Law Bodies of the Sixth Realm and ten Outer Scenery experts. They all came from Taiyue Hall, providing security for various gatherings and events.
Thus, they were collectively known as the Thirteen Tai Bao of Tianshan.
During the previous Casting Assembly, there were suspicions of people carrying forbidden drugs into the venue, so this time they were exceptionally careful.
Just now, they discovered a scrawny craftsman, thin as a rail, pulling out a packet of powdery substance, tearing it open, and preparing to consume it.
Consuming it was one thing, but he also showed an expression of infatuation and longing as he ate.
The thirteen security guards leaned back slightly.
Are they even human?
Without another word, they went up and pinned the old man down.
"This color, this shape, no mistake, this must be divine power powder!"
"The old guy is quite particular, eating divine power powder with dried noodles."
"Ah? What is divine power powder? I don't know! This is a misunderstanding!"
The scrawny old man looked bewildered, his face pale, staring intently at the snatched kraft paper package:
"Give it to me, please... I really can't take it anymore..."
Hearing this, the expressions of the blacksmiths present changed slightly.
It was said that once divine power powder was consumed, it would become addictive, like a maggot in the bone, impossible to get rid of for life.
This old man must have been suffering from divine power powder withdrawal, which is why he took it out to consume in public.
"Hmm?"
Li Mo looked at it, slightly startled, finding it a bit familiar... "This is heavenly venerable sauce."
The scrawny blacksmith cried out that he was wronged.
The thirteen security guards were stunned. What is heavenly venerable sauce?
They suspiciously loosened their grip on him for a moment, not afraid that he would run away anyway.
"One packet of heavenly venerable sauce is powder, and one packet is sauce. I couldn't find hot water, so the sauce couldn't be mixed. I could only eat it with the powder."
The blacksmith took out a pocket, put a piece of flatbread inside, and poured in the powder.
After shaking it several times, he took out a piece and ate it.
"If you're going to eat, why are you making that crazy, obsessed expression?"
"I've been busy traveling and haven't eaten for three days. You try not eating for three days!"
"..."
After realizing it was a misunderstanding, the thirteen security guards awkwardly asked where such delicious heavenly venerable sauce was sold, and then released the man.
Moreover, this scrawny blacksmith was not an isolated case; recently, instant noodles and heavenly venerable sauce seemed to be doing very well in Dijin.
Many people carried them with them, planning to eat them during the intermission.
A certain heavenly venerable sauce: "..."
He seemed to know where the inexplicable power of all beings from a while ago came from.
The Demon Summoning Sect's distribution channels are quite extensive; they even brought their instant noodle business to Dijin.
Wait... since it's the Demon Summoning Sect's business, then... is this really just an ordinary instant noodle seasoning business?
Xiao Li expressed doubts about the Demon Summoning Sect's nature. Looking at the scrawny figure's back, the light of the Tianming Divine Eye shone upon him.
【Name: Lu Zhuang.】
【Age: 52.】
【Root Bone: Wild Root Strength Bone (Incomplete).】
【Realm: Guan Shen Five Apertures.】
【Tianming: Gray.】
【Evaluation: Born with robust root bones and immense strength, excellent Innate talent. However, seeing others surpass him effortlessly, he felt resentment and did not cherish the good root bones bestowed by heaven. After multiple uses of divine power powder, the medicinal power deeply penetrated his bones, making further progress difficult.】
【Recent Encounter: Brought a large batch of divine power powder, hidden by the Demon Summoning Sect in heavenly venerable sauce, into the Casting Assembly venue.】
"..."
"Indeed."
Li Mo covered his forehead, his mood complex, roughly understanding what was going on.
divine power powder was originally a medicinal powder, hence its name.
However, after obtaining the instant noodle seasoning recipe, the Blood Refinement Hall upgraded the divine power powder, turning it into a paste!
Instant noodle seasoning has two packets: one is seasoning powder, and the other is sauce.
The former is ordinary seasoning, while the latter is an upgraded version of divine power powder, Divine Power Paste!
Who handled this? Who taught you to sell instant noodles like this?
The method is too wild!
"What's wrong?"
Ying Bing watched for a while as Li Mo's expression changed several times.
"I discovered a small Genius."
Li Mo said, still a bit conflicted.
Ultimately, this matter was also related to him. He hadn't expected the Demon Summoning Sect's Blood Refinement Hall to choose this method to hide divine power powder.
Of course, even without instant noodles, the Demon Summoning Sect would have found other ways.
Passing through the Tianshan Sword Manor's mountain gate, Li Mo went to the Sword Furnace with practiced ease.
"Divine Craftsman Du, thankfully you're still here."
Li Mo thought he would be busy with matters related to the Casting Assembly, but he didn't expect the old man to still be by the Sword Furnace in the inner courtyard.
"I am conserving my energy."
Du Wufeng subtly slipped the picture book of "the overbearing female emperor falls in love with me" into his sleeve and lightly coughed, "Boy, why are you still looking for me at this time?"
Li Mo's expression was serious, and he lowered his voice:
"I have a private matter concerning the Casting Assembly, but one that cannot be publicized, that I wish to discuss with you..."
"Oh, you, boy, with your thick eyebrows and big eyes, actually want me to pull strings for you?!"
Du Wufeng looked at Li Mo with a look of disappointment:
"I am a man of integrity. I never thought you would want me to do such a despicable thing. Today, I will sever ties with you!"
"?"
Li Mo was stunned, then said helplessly:
"Old man, stop reciting lines from the picture book."
Those lines were even ones he had written for Ouyang.
"Speak, boy, what is it you want from me at this time?"
Du Wufeng put away his playfulness and asked with a smile.
He had long known that Li Mo would not ask him for something like a backdoor deal.
However, Li Mo's next sentence made him suddenly freeze.
"Many divine power powder... to be precise, Divine Power Paste, has probably been brought into the venue."
"?"
"The method is with instant noodle seasoning packets. Two packets of seasoning, making it impossible to guard against. Moreover, according to my deduction, many people are carrying normal instant noodles, making it hard to distinguish between real and fake."
Li Mo had just used his Tianming Divine Eye to observe along the way.
Some people carried instant noodles that were genuinely ordinary instant noodles.
Only a small portion had added 'ingredients.'
"Which son of a bitch invented these instant noodles?!" ƒreewebηoveℓ.com
Du Wufeng slammed the table, extremely angry.
