Chapter 93 Yuanying Feast

Chapter 93 Yuanying Feast
On Yunxia Island, Hu Jinchuan followed Hu Zongfu to greet guests at the reception platform outside the island.

"Uncle Fu, will Brother Jinqing really come to this ceremony?"

Hu Jinchuan heard that since he entered the Jinguan Pavilion, he relied on his own qualifications to worship a senior who had established the foundation as his teacher, and also became an inner disciple of the Jinguan Pavilion.

Rumor has it that as long as he can enter the foundation-building stage within 60 years, he can directly enter the true teachings and be accepted as a disciple by a senior who has reached the Jindan stage.

Everything he has experienced makes Hu Jinchuan envious.

'I have thought about this several times, if I had followed my brothers into the Golden Light Pavilion, would I be different now?

But after considering his own low-grade spiritual root qualifications, he immediately gave up this fantasy.

I am not as talented as my brothers, so I won’t be as lucky as them.

I'm afraid I'll have to struggle in the outer sect for decades, it's better to cultivate spiritual plants here.'

Now, after more than fifty years of practice, Hu Jinchuan has reached the sixth level of Qi Refining. If he practices for another year or two, he will be able to reach the late stage of Qi Refining.

At this moment, Hu Jinchuan, who was standing on the reception platform, was wearing a green first-grade top-quality robe, which was given to him by Wei Zhong.

As for Hu Zongfu, who was in charge of three major departments, he was wearing a half-red Taoist robe with a gleaming aura, showing his second-level rank.

These robes were all made by Wei Zhong when he was practicing his skills before. Now, he is giving some of them as rewards to his subordinates during the Jindan Ceremony.

According to Chief Steward Xie, this ceremony requires proper attire so as not to bring disgrace upon the reputation of Yunxia Island.

Upon hearing this, Hu Jinchuan took out his other magic weapons. He wore a white jade ring on his finger, which was a top-grade defensive magic weapon, and he also had a green flying sword of the same grade on his waist...

These are the treasures that Hu Jinchuan earned after working hard on Yunxia Island for many years.

Hu Zongfu looked at the other party's jewels and nodded:
"Jinqing once said that his master had received the grace of the master's elixir in his early years, and now that the master has formed the elixir, the other party is here to congratulate him.

Later, I heard that someone from my Hu family was working on Ling Island, and decided to bring Jinqing with him."

Just as he finished speaking, a beam of light flew over, revealing a half-human figure of Kun Dao and a young man.

It was none other than Hu Jinqing and his master.

Hu Zongfu bowed and saluted: "Greetings, Senior Wu!"

When the latter saw Hu Zongfu's face, he also recalled that this was the clansman of his disciple Hu Jinqing. Then he saw that he was only in the late stage of Qi Refining, but was wearing a second-level robe.

He couldn't help but sigh at the magnanimity of Master Wei, the owner of Yunxia Island. Even his subordinates were wealthy. At the same time, he secretly regretted that the gift of worship he had prepared was not up to par.

"It turns out to be Mr. Hu," he then took out a gift box from his storage bag, inside of which was a 500-year-old Ganoderma lucidum, "This is a gift to congratulate Senior Wei on his achievement of Dan."

Hu Zongfu took it personally and said, "Thank you for the gift, senior."

Then he turned and looked at Hu Jinchuan behind him: "Jinchuan, take Senior Wu and your brother to the island."

Hu Jinchuan heard this and said respectfully, "Yes, Uncle Fu."

Then he turned sideways to the two people in front of him and led the way: "Follow me, both of you."

Wu Mindan followed him and entered the island with him. On the way, they met many servants from Yunxia Island who were wearing the same blue Taoist robes.

He asked curiously, "Could this Taoist robe of yours be made by Master Wei?"

Hu Jinchuan smiled and nodded: "That's right, this robe is a special reward from the island master after he formed the elixir, and most people on this island will be allocated a first-level robe.

Especially the core person like Fu Bo, who was given a second-level robe. "

Wu Mindan was surprised. She thought that the person in charge of Yunxia Island was rich and used his own spirit stones to buy it. She never thought that it was the generous island owner who gave it to her for free.

Thinking of Wei Zhong's title as a third-rank weapon refiner, everything before him seemed to make more sense.

But Hu Jinqing behind him didn't think so.

'I have been practicing hard in the Jinguang Pavilion for many years. I had to risk my life for a few spirit stones and completed the sect's tasks to purchase several first-level magic tools.

But the other party was just raising spiritual plants on the spiritual island, and he received such treatment.'

Hu Jinqing felt really unbalanced.

He also realized that the other party was only at the sixth level of Qi Refining, which was only two levels lower than his own, and he became extremely depressed.

Hu Jinchuan led the two men to the pavilion prepared for the guests, then said goodbye and left.

There are not many people on the island, and they still need to continue to perform the welcoming task. There are other people here who are responsible for entertaining these guests.

Wu Mindan looked around and immediately discovered that many people had arrived before him, including several famous independent cultivators and fellow practitioners from other forces.

The protagonist of this ceremony, Wei Zhong, is busy welcoming his fellow Jindan practitioners.

In a large hall, several Jindan masters arrived, including Song Linfang, the Palace Master of Zhigang Palace, and several elders surnamed Luo from Jinguang Pavilion, all of whom were important figures in the nearby Jindan forces.

Wei Zhong was chatting happily with everyone with a glass of wine in hand when he suddenly received a sword command.

He bowed to the crowd and said:
"A few more fellow Taoists have arrived. I will go and greet them first, and then discuss Taoism with you all."

Everyone nodded, Wei Zhong put down the wine glass in his hand, and flew out of the pavilion.

When they arrived outside of Lingdao, it was the Ling brothers and sisters and Sikong Changming. Wei Zhong glanced at Ling Hua and was immediately surprised:

"I didn't expect that after just ten days of not seeing you, Brother Ling has already become a mid-stage Jindan cultivator."

The latter replied with a smile:

"Thanks to Brother Wei, after fighting with fellow Taoist, I went into seclusion for a few days, and my cultivation level naturally broke through to the middle stage."

Wei Zhong had a smile on his face, but he did not take credit for the achievement.

The other party has been in the Dan stage for more than fifty years and has fought at least a hundred battles in that period. How could he achieve such results just by fighting with Wei Zhong once?

This is because his cultivation had already reached a bottleneck, and the breakthrough only happened recently.

I said this just to express my congratulations to Wei Zhong on this happy day.

Sikong Changming took out a gift box, which contained a thousand-year-old ginseng.

"I am Sikong Changming, and I am offering you a thousand-year-old spiritual ginseng to congratulate you on your achievement of the elixir!"

When forming a golden core, it is naturally impossible to just use some hundred-year-old elixirs to make up the numbers.

Wei Zhong accepted it with joy: "Thank you for your expense, Brother Sikong."

Millennium spiritual ginseng is the main ingredient for third-level elixirs. As a third-level alchemist, Wei Zhong is naturally very satisfied with this gift.

The Ling family brother and sister followed closely behind and handed over a golden storage bag.

Wei Zhong took it, looked inside, and found that it was an eight thousand year old golden thunder bamboo.

Golden lightning flashed above the bamboo leaves, and the green color of the bamboo body faded away for the most part. It wouldn't take long for it to be upgraded to the ten thousand year level.

The other party actually took the most precious golden thunder bamboo in the secret realm as a gift to congratulate Wei Zhong for his elixir formation.

"My two Taoist friends, this gift is too great!"

The eight thousand year old golden thunder bamboo is a spiritual material that all Nascent Soul cultivators would be interested in.

Ling Ziwei just smiled and said: "My brother and I were able to obtain this item, and Fellow Daoist Wei also contributed a lot.

Why is it considered a gift? Just accept it without worry, fellow Taoist."

Since the other party said so, Wei Zhong could only accept it and then invite the three people to come in together. Four beams of light flew over the heads of the cultivators and landed between the pavilions in the mountain.

The guests who were in the foundation-building stage below all sighed with emotion: "As expected of a Jindan senior, he can use a thousand-year-old spiritual object at once."

One of them glanced at the black-robed Taoist priest standing beside him and said jokingly:

"Brother Zhu Shen, as a second-level alchemist, what kind of gift did you offer to the senior?"

Zhu Shen knew that the other party was mocking him, but he did not show any anger. He maintained a calm attitude and replied calmly:
"It's just an 1800-year-old Ganoderma lucidum. My alchemy skills are limited, so I dare not embarrass myself in front of Senior Wei by offering the elixir."

Zhu Shen lost his spirit ever since he failed to form the elixir last time.

Knowing that it would be difficult for him to reach the stage of Dan Jin in this lifetime, he simply gave up his obsession and devoted himself to the path of Dan.

As my alchemy skills improved, my mentality also changed greatly.

He seemed particularly calm in the face of everything, and even when other monks teased him, he was too lazy to pay attention.

Now that he is old, he is thinking about whether to accept one or two disciples to pass on his alchemy skills.

It happened that a Taoist priest in a yellow robe came over at this moment and bowed to Zhu Shen: "Fellow Taoist Zhu, long time no see!"

Zhu Shen raised his head from his thoughts and bowed in return: "It turns out to be Fellow Daoist Qingze. Fellow Daoist is also here to attend Senior Wei's ceremony."

Qingze looked at Zhu Shen in front of him. He was a little surprised that he no longer had the arrogance and domineering attitude as before. He had heard before that the other party had changed his personality, and now he saw that it was true.

Qingze heard the question and shook his head: "No, I am here to help Senior Wei take care of the guests."

Zhu Shen seemed surprised. The monk who had teased Zhu Shen just now stood up in awe and raised his wine glass:

"I never thought that Fellow Daoist Qingze could actually get close to Senior Wei. We need to get closer to him in the future."

Qingze clinked his glasses with a smile and said, "No, it's just the master's request."

After Qingze finished speaking, he toasted Zhu Shen:

"Would you consider coming to the Ling family as a guest? Senior Wei is very optimistic about your alchemy skills and has recommended them to our young master and young lady many times."

Hearing this, Zhu Shen was surprised. He never thought that Wei Zhong, who once had some grudges against him, would say a few good words for him in front of the Ling family.

Stunned for a moment, Qingze thought that he was unwilling, so he continued:

"The younger generation of the Ling family is fascinated by alchemy, but they lack the guidance of famous teachers. Daoist friends can come to the Ling family to pass on their own alchemy skills."

Zhu Shen was somewhat moved, and said, "Can I have a chat with Senior Ling Hua later?"

"You can do anything!"

Qingze talked with him for a while, then turned around and left to entertain other guests who were building their foundation.

Others were also surprised to see the Ling family trying to win over Zhu Shen, especially the cultivator who had just teased Zhu Shen, who was extremely embarrassed.

Every word Qingze said just now was true.

Wei Zhong weighed himself and decided that he would leave Luohe Prefecture with Tan Tai Lin soon.

I don’t know how long it will take for me to come back again.

During this period of time, the Ling family's elixir business will undoubtedly be affected by the lack of a third-level alchemist like Wei Zhong.

Wei Zhong saw that Zhu Shen's character had changed and his alchemy skills had improved a lot during this period of time, so he recommended him to the Ling brother and sister.

Although he was only at the second level, Wei Zhong, as a senior alchemist among the third level, also realized that he was not far from the third level.

What we lack is just a little time. There is no reason to miss such a potential stock.

In the pavilion on the mountain, several Jindan masters were sitting in a circle, among them only an old foundation-building master was sitting cross-legged.

He was none other than Xu Xuan, the shopkeeper of Yunji Building. As the head of Yunji Chamber of Commerce in Luohe Prefecture, no one would look down on him, not to mention that he had several third-level skills.

"Fellow Daoist Wei, do you have any idea of ​​looking for another spiritual place after you have formed the elixir? The third-level spiritual place in Luohe Prefecture is precious. Why don't you come to my Jinguang Pavilion and become a guest elder?"

It was another attempt to win over a powerful force, but this time before Wei Zhong could refuse, Song Linfang, the Palace Master of Zhigang Palace beside him, said with a smile:

"Old Luo, you have a good idea. You want to trap Fellow Daoist Wei with just the status of a guest elder."

Then he turned to look at Wei Zhong and added:

“Fellow Daoist, why don’t you come to my Gang Palace and take up the position of the Supreme Lord of this palace.

Fellow Daoist, aren't you quite interested in my "Forging Gang Method"? I will personally present this method to you for your reference."

······
In order to win over Wei Zhong, various sects tried their best.

Wei Zhong remained unmoved and just smiled and declined them one by one.

Then he said, "Almost all of you Jindan fellows have arrived. How about we start the banquet now?"

Everyone understood that he had no intention of joining any force, so they nodded.

Wei Zhong was just about to stand up when he suddenly saw a black flame coming out of the field and the figure of Tan Tai Lin appeared.

The Jindan cultivators present were also shocked when they sensed the power around him.

"Monk Nascent Soul!"

Then they bowed one by one and said, "Greetings, senior!"

Wei Zhong was also a little surprised to see Tan Tai Lin in person.

'Although I personally sent him an invitation, I never thought that such a Yuanying master would come to my small Jindan banquet.'

"Why, Wei, you don't welcome me to attend your ceremony?"

Wei Zhong was stunned for only a moment, then he bowed and saluted when he heard what the other party said:

"Please don't blame me, Senior Tan Tai. It's just that I am a little flattered by your presence at the banquet, and I can't control myself for a moment."

Tan Tai Lin was too lazy to listen to Wei Zhong's nonsense and waved his arms impatiently.

"Alright, alright, aren't we going to have a banquet? I've been waiting for this bite!"

The surrounding Jindan heard the conversation between the two and immediately knew that Wei Zhong and this Yuanying senior were quite familiar with each other. They were shocked, and they didn't expect that Wei Zhong, who was famous for his identity as a casual cultivator, actually had a Yuanying background.

"Please forgive me, senior. Please come this way."

Wei Zhong led everyone to the cliff of Yunxia Island, where maids had already set up a table with spiritual food.

Wei Zhong waved his sleeves, and a surge of spiritual power gushed out, instantly constructing a castle in the air made up of colorful auspicious clouds in mid-air.

Everyone stepped inside, touched the clouds beneath them, and instantly realized that it was composed of pure spiritual power for casting spells.

For a moment, everyone looked at Wei Zhong, shocked.

"He has just formed his elixir, but he already has such a strong spiritual power. This fellow Daoist Wei is indeed not an ordinary person."

Everyone in the Jindan stage had a different look on their face. They already knew that Wei Zhong not only had profound skills, but also had amazing strength.

Wei Zhong naturally did this on purpose. After the ceremony, he would leave his men behind and leave Luohe Prefecture with Tan Tai Lin.

At this moment, he could take advantage of the opportunity of the Jindan Ceremony to show off his strength, so that no one would take advantage of Wei Zhong's absence to have any bad intentions.
