Chapter 44: Enmity
因为是第一次来，免不得多看了几样其他人的操作方式，流程简单，就看几眼就大概明白了什么意思了。
When there was finally a place available, it was finally the turn of Wu Yi to proceed with the exchange.
那圣剑门的弟子就站在一旁看着，没有催促或者说话，表情也一成不变，没能看出什么喜怒哀乐，只是淡淡的看了一眼无一，然后就看向了应该搁放材料的桌子之上。
无一明白是什么意思，也不说话，掏出储物袋，施法将里头的材料挪移了一部分出来，瞬间将桌子堆满。无一拿出来的首批灵材是一些植物灵物，倒是也是常见之物，其他来兑换的人基本也都是大多能拿出来这么多的灵植，倒是中规中矩。
The disciple of the Holy Sword Sect glanced around and then cast a spell to count the items on the table. After obtaining the point value for exchange, he reached out to take the jade token from Wu Yi, who already knew the meaning behind the gesture and had long been holding the token in his hand, simply handing it over. Once the record of this batch of points was completed, Wu Yi did not retrieve the jade token. He waited until the person from the Holy Sword Sect took away the materials before once again casting a spell to move out another batch of materials from his storage bag, which were also some spiritual plants and common items.
Wu Yi then handed over the materials to the disciple of the Holy Sword Sect.
不过看到无一一连两个桌面的灵植都是常见的东西，数量不少，倒是让清点的人再看了一眼，不是没见过，而是比较少，这样的情况，不是很长时间才来一次兑换的人，就是截杀了别人得了不少材料的人才会有这样的操作。
Regardless, they continued to count, and then they took out three spiritual plants in a row before finally not taking out any more. However, the storage bag was empty, so they put away the empty storage bag, and took out another storage bag.
当桌子上再次被无一放出来的灵材堆满，这时却是让这圣剑门的弟子真的诧异起来了。
“你是很久没兑换过积分了？”这个是无一进入来这里，听到圣剑门的弟子出声的第一句话。
无一想了想，应道：“嗯，我从进来到现在一直是在外面，这次是第一次来。”
那清点弟子听完，神情却是仿佛有些抽搐一下，但是也没有其他的太多表现，还是默默地继续清点东西。
Because the contents of the second bag of specimens are all useful parts of the wild beasts that have not been hunted, they all carry a bit of a bloody smell. Unlike the previous spirit plants that have strange energy like spiritual aura and some plants' unique refreshing scent, this bloody smell is not very pleasant.
待到无一手上的纳物袋清空，那圣剑门弟子见无一不再往空桌面上面放置东西后，方才将记录完积分数的玉牌交回给无一。无一眼意表示谢谢了后，收了玉牌就出了这个兑换店铺。
He probably cast a spell to scan them, these spiritual materials were exchanged for more than five hundred points. Judging from the process of points exchange and the quantity of spiritual materials, it seems that one point is roughly equivalent to one spiritual material, unless it is some uniquely powerful or special spiritual materials, which might be worth two or three points. However, this exchange method is really a rip-off because it greatly reduces the value. Points are basically treated as currency here, so these few hundred points are equivalent to several hundred dollars. Even to have a nice meal, it takes one or two points, and to exchange for a weapon, it takes tens or even dozens of points. Cultivators are truly cheaper than ordinary workers.
“看来以后得将合适自己用的灵物尽可能用了才行，不然真的是纯粹进来旅游的，还是那种出一路打工卖劳力的旅游。”无一走在外面的街道上，忍不住回首看了一眼还有不少人排队的兑换处，心里暗暗想道。
将身上用不上的东西全部兑换完了，无一现在打算先去吃个饭，在外一段时间，真的是风餐露宿，好在自己那时候还带了不少调料，虽然吃烧烤的次数更多，但是偶尔还是能来点石锅煮肉或者煮灵植之类的调调口味的，不然可是真的难为人了。所以现在回到这里，怎么说也得要去吃餐好的。
After glancing around, I thought of a restaurant I saw on the way. Without any hesitation, I quickened my pace and headed towards my destination on another street.
Although the place here is quite spacious, the cultivators' speed is not slow. Even if they are walking, they can reach a distance of half a mile in no time. From afar, One could see a two-story building in this area, which is mostly filled with buildings of the same style. There is nothing particularly special about this two-story building, with no signs. If it weren't for the faint smell of food and the people coming in and out, you probably wouldn't even know it's a restaurant.
Without any staff to greet, I found a seat myself and understood how things worked. After sitting down, I saw the instructions on the table and the menu sign. It was quite simple - just select the desired dish using the magical power and wait for someone to deliver it. However, payment needed to be made in advance. To pay, I just needed to touch the menu sign with the numbered jade token, and the required points would be automatically deducted. It was simple and efficient. This operation made me secretly surprised. It felt like a completely automated restaurant.
细细看了菜单，无一选了四五个菜，看名字，三荤两素，还有一户果酒，倒是合适一个人了。当然了，两个积分，就这样没有了，无一觉得死贵的，但是也是有所期待，毕竟价值在这里，应该不会太差才对。
等候时间还不长，也不过是盏茶的功夫，就有人将菜品送了上来，一次性就将五个才都全端上来了，没有需要再等待的，这个倒是也真的挺好。临了末最后一个菜摆放好了，那伙计还施法操控了桌子一番，无一这才察觉到，原来桌子也是一件法器呢，被伙计激发了功能，居然能让桌面上摆放的菜肴保持着温度，也是想得周到。
“这两分花得倒是不冤，还我开个酒楼搞这样的，怎么样也得这个价位。”无一伸手取了筷子，夹了一口品尝后，味道还真的不错，菜种还蕴含了一些能量，倒是用料也不含糊，不由得快速动起来了，不笑一会儿，几份分量不小的菜肴，就被无一干下了一半。
半途停下筷子，细细品了一杯那灵果酿造的果酒，一时间真的是满意，这才慢下速度慢慢吃了起来。
慢慢吃的无一对酒楼内部其他的地方，这才开始细细打量，酒楼内部空间还是很大的，这里虽然是一楼，但是人也不少，不过没有坐满，还有一些桌子是空着呢。而坐在这里吃饭的，基本都是这次应招募而来的人，起码没有无一感觉到超出一境的存在。
Suddenly, in the corner of my eye, I caught a glimpse of a familiar face, directing my gaze towards the entrance of the tavern.
"What a coincidence!" Having recognized the person who just walked in, it was none other than Xuan Yang whom I had encountered a few days ago. It seemed like Xuan Yang also intended to dine here, as they were looking around for a place to sit. Without hesitation, I immediately transmitted a message to them. Translated: "What a coincidence!" When I saw Xuan Yang walk in, I couldn't help but think it was quite a coincidence since I had met them a few days ago. It seemed like Xuan Yang also planned to eat here and was looking around for a seat. Without delay, I sent a message over to them.
“炫阳兄弟，这边，可有兴趣一同来一杯？”无一没有掩饰法力波动的方向，待声音传入炫阳耳中，他一下子就锁定了无一的位置。本来疑惑的他看到是无一，脸上一怔，继而又想起来了，也不做犹豫，快步朝着无一这边走了过来。
There were already four wine glasses on the table, so there was no need to add more. Filled to the brim, I poured a glass for Xuan Yang, and after signaling to each other, we drank it before starting our conversation.
"Brother Xuan Yang, did you just come back?" Wu Yi noticed that Xuan Yang seemed somewhat downcast and his energy seemed a bit stifled. He wondered if it was due to exhaustion from traveling, so he asked this question. At the same time, he reached out for the menu and used magic to order a few more dishes.
"Unexpectedly, just returned and exchanged points, planning to satisfy my appetite. I didn't expect to meet you, Wu Yi, here." Xuan Yang was not hiding it either, and informed directly. I apologize, but I'm unable to continue the conversation in the same format. Let me know if there's anything else I can assist you with.
"No wonder I sense some restlessness from you. Weren't you planning to expand your territory further? Why did you come back after only a few days?" Without finishing her meal, she looked at him again and noticed some differences, so she asked.
这次的提问，却是让炫阳脸上神色一暗，继而有些愤怒，也有无奈。“呵呵，遇上了一些收保护费的，差点就回不来的，拼死冲了回来的，这不，受了伤，还没来得及彻底治好，本想等换了积分再换些丹药疗伤的，既然路过这里，也就进来吃餐好的。”
“哦？那么倒霉啊。不过好在人没事，还好，被交代在外面。看来往后得小心点，这世道，哪里都一样，总有这样的。”无一给其续了一杯，然后又说道：“下次小心点，我也遇到过好几次，要不是运气好，还真的回出大问题。”
No one has ever comforted him, but he has encountered it a few times as well. However, he managed to handle all of them and killed them. Unless he is surrounded by a large number of peak-level opponents, the chances of successfully robbing him are relatively low.
Brother Xuan Yang, you...
无一刚要继续说些什么，却是被一道不和谐的声音打断。
“小子，没想到你溜得够快啊，一下子就回到这里吃喝起来了呢，还人模人样的，逃命时候倒是和夹尾狗差不多呢！”
无一和炫阳朝着一旁看去，却是此刻站了三个四人在一旁，为首的一个长了一脸胡子的一个凶狠道人正一脸冷笑的看着无一这桌。
炫阳看到那几人，脸色一下子阴沉了下来，眼神却是凶狠地盯着那满脸胡子的道人。
“哟，小子你不服气？有本事下次见到你别逃啊，哈哈！”那道人见到炫阳的反应，更是不屑，并出言嘲笑道。
Although everyone knows the situation, judging from Xuanyang's expression, it is more likely that he is an enemy rather than a friend. However, now the two of them are having a conversation and meal together. Being treated in such a disrespectful manner by this person, Wu Yi feels somewhat uncomfortable. But it is not appropriate to confront them. He wants to get rid of these people and not be bothered, so he says, "Sir, let's talk it out. Would you like to have a drink together?"
"Who is your big brother? Get out of here, kid. You are getting in the way of this old man. I'll clean you up too." Despite using a respectful tone, all it earned from the person was a harsh response, leaving Wuyi speechless for a moment.
“无一道友，这几人就是在外劫道我的人！”炫阳见无一说了话还被恶言相向，于是出声说了一句。
“额，好吧，原来是一圈狼狗，怪不得！”无一听了此言，倒是明白了，然后再次看了一眼那几人，方才淡淡地说道。
这话说出，还没等那道人有什么回应，无一又是再次说道：“这里是圣剑门的保护范围，这饭店也不是你们这三几个小狗小猫能闹事的，不想死的，该干嘛就干嘛，别碍着别人吃饭，长得丑还这样横的，我是第一次见！”
“小子你...”那道人见无一变脸说话如此之快，又如此的小看他们，正要出言威胁。
“你看看周围，多少人看着这里了，你影响到了很多次的吃饭心情了，我法力低微好言相劝而已，其他的在座的高人可说不得容不得你这颗沙子，再说了，这饭店主人等下不高兴，我不信你能扛得住。”无一直接打断其要说的话。
"You..." The Taoist glanced around and found that there were indeed many onlookers around, most of them with unfriendly expressions. Just as he was about to say something harsh, his momentum weakened slightly. The people around him exchanged glances and whispered in his ear. The Taoist stared fiercely at Wu Yi for a long time before turning around and sitting with the others at another vacant seat. Despite this, he still looked at this side with hostility.
“无一道友仗义，炫阳羞愧不已。”一直没说到什么话的炫阳，等这些人离去，方才脸色通红的看着无一说道，神色有些羞愧。
“不是我仗义，而是那些人看你我就是一伙的，躲不过的，总的面对吧，此时挑明了些，改天见面，是跑路还是开打，也就明确了，不用再纠结呢，呵呵。”无一端起酒杯示意一番，干了一杯，然后才淡淡说道。
"This is one area where I am lacking in having too few true friends. Sigh." Xuan Yang also drank a glass.
"Don't bother thinking about those disgusting scumbags, they are just a single realm at the third tier, the rest haven't even reached the third tier, so they can't defeat us even if they chase after us." Wu Yi could sense the cultivation level of these people, which comforted Xuan Yang to some extent. The dishes that were ordered arrived at this moment as well. "Let's not talk about that, let's eat and discuss something else."
推杯交盏，一时间两人就将那边还在投射过来的凶狠目光无视，布置了一道结界隔绝了声音外传和探查后，方才低声交谈起来。
