Chapter 330: Feasting Old Friends and Repairing the Heavenly Palace
Chapter 330: Feasting Old Friends and Repairing the Heavenly Palace (Monthly Tickets Plus)
Farewell!
Seeing the six-meter-long Fang Tian Huaji, Li Yuan's eyelids jumped and he stepped back decisively. He didn't have the habit of seeking abuse.
Not to mention that he doesn't have the Black Whale Hammer to wield, nor the Mirage Dragon Belt on him. Even if he has both, he will never be able to withstand a great master of the ancient level.
But he only took a step back, and he felt as if a thunder exploded directly in his heart, completely ignoring his retreating speed that broke the sound barrier.
Boom~
The moment Li Yuan turned around to block the attack, he felt as if the sky had collapsed.
"Oh!"
……
"Bai Dao, this kid has improved so fast..."
In the drizzle, the little tiger moved back and forth in the shadows. She did not try to hide her tracks and returned to the main peak of Longmen easily.
She glanced over the eaves at the small temple opposite with the lights off, her eyes flickered, and she turned around and went back to the house.
In the corner, the fat rat was still sleeping soundly, while Li Yuan, who was sitting cross-legged on the bed, was crying.
"?"
The little tiger was a little suspicious. She paced around the bed a few steps and found that the boy was in a deep meditation, crying so hard that his clothes were wet.
My eyes are almost swollen.
what happened?
The little tiger had a lot of question marks on her forehead. She had originally wanted to come back and find an opportunity to pull this boy into the tower to try his hand, but now she couldn't help but hesitate.
"Woo~"
She tentatively moved closer, but before she could take a closer look, she realized something was wrong and fell to the head of the bed.
"So fierce?!"
Li Yuan's eyelids fluttered open with a swish, his eyes unfocused, as if still lingering on the moment when he was hit by the Fang Tian Hua Ji and exploded into fireworks.
The border is like a mountain, and defeating the master is like ascending to heaven.
Li Yuan's mind was buzzing, and he truly felt the huge gap. No matter what exquisite moves or shape-changing combinations he had, in the face of absolute speed and power, he had no room to display them.
"call!"
After a long while, Li Yuan came back to his senses. He didn't even have the interest to try again. He didn't even take off his clothes and just lay down on the bed.
Seeing the little tiger cub sleeping soundly beside him, he hooked his hands around him, closed his eyes, and fell into a deep sleep.
"?!"
The little tiger almost exploded with anger, but she managed to hold it back. She emerged from Li Yuan's arms with a dark face, and pulled up the sleeping little mouse in the corner with one claw.
He was beaten up badly.
“Squeak?!”
……
Apart from the sweet herbal wine, Li Yuan seldom drank alcohol. Although he attended many banquets, he rarely entertained others.
Most of the time, he was doing ironwork, practicing martial arts, and reading books regularly, which was boring but enjoyable.
At dawn the next day, Li Yuan went out early and moved more than ten jars of Baicao wine from Baicao Helm, and then went to Baishou Mountain to buy a variety of spiritual beast meat.
He stewed the finest spiritual rice and went personally to invite Master Wanchuan and his apprentice, Master Gong Jiuchuan and his apprentice, Yan Sanxing, Xin Wenhua, Monk Dou Yue and other familiar people in the sect.
He also went to Long Xixiang's place to invite him, but he didn't invite the old dragon head, but he invited Master Yushu instead.
He chose his own residence at the foot of the mountain as the venue for hosting a banquet for everyone in the Divine Weapon Valley.
A small banquet turned into a big banquet.
After more than a year's absence, Li Yuan was in a very good mood to meet everyone from Shenbing Valley again. He took the initiative to propose a toast, which was unusual at the banquet. After a round of toasts, both the host and the guests were naturally in high spirits.
"Come, Brother Wan, drink this cup to the full!"
"Brother Gong Yang, come..."
"Master Dou Yue, I offer you a toast!"
……
The atmosphere at the banquet was very good. While Li Yuan was clinking glasses, the others were also toasting, clinking glasses, and talking loudly.
Gong Yangyu had a good alcohol tolerance. After he and Yan Sanxing drank a jar of Baicao Niang, they switched directly to strong liquor such as Xianrenzui. After a while, they were already a little drunk.
With the elders around, Fang Baoluo was a little hesitant at first, but later he hugged Wanchuan and called him brother. Wan Shenjiang, who was drunk first, did not refuse. The two of them chatted so excitedly that they even hugged each other and cried.
Yu Xuanfeng and his sister sat together with Fang Yunxiu and Qiu Changying. They were either talking in low voices or drinking a few cups of Baicao Wine. They seemed quite reserved and self-controlled.
"Brother Liu, I offer you a toast. You have been running the forging shop for me for so many years. Thank you for your hard work!"
Li Yuan then pulled Liu Zheng to toast, and also clinked glasses with Wang Peiyao:
"Come on, Miss Wang..."
"Brother Li, please!"
Wang Peiyao was somewhat awkward, after all, there were many elders at the table. But after a few drinks, she gradually relaxed and toasted and clinked glasses with everyone.
"Little Li, come here."
Feng Zhong was already a little tipsy. He drank with Yan Sanxing and Gong Jiuchuan at the table, and also talked about business.
Longhu Temple has its own weapons casting site, but it also purchases weapons from other places from time to time. This is a big business, and Feng Zhong is very concerned about it.
Yu Xuanji looked at him sideways. In this year, she hardly ran into Li Yuan. It wasn't that he was deliberately distancing himself from her, but this gentleman simply seldom went out.
Occasionally we pass each other on the road, both of us are in a hurry.
This is the first time I see Li Yuan so relaxed.
"Junior Brother Li, come here." Xin Wenhua clinked glasses with Wan Chuan three times, then came over to drink with Li Yuan. He patted the broken sword at his waist and said, "I'll have to rely on you to repair this broken weapon!"
"If you need my help, please let me know."
Li Yuan had already noticed the broken weapon on his waist. Although it was broken, its quality was very high. It used to be a top-grade divine weapon. If a divine craftsman worked hard to repair it, it might be able to restore its quality.
"Thank you in advance!"
Having achieved his goal, Xin Wenhua became more relaxed. After a while, he was the first to leave. The disciples waiting outside the door helped him back.
"It's okay to drink some of what's in this cup occasionally."
Monk Dou Yue didn't drink much. He and Ba Wanli, who was sitting next to him, just focused on eating. They ate half of the two large pots of spiritual rice and the rice grass on the table.
When Li Yuan toasted, Dou Yue drank a few glasses happily and then put down the glass.
He has good self-control and has never been drunk since he had his head shaved.
"Junior brother understands."
Li Yuan smiled and toasted: "Eighth Senior Brother, come and drink."
"You have to drink!"
Ba Wanli wiped his mouth and drank half a jar of wine:
"Your spiritual rice is really a good thing, where can I buy it?"
"What do you mean by buy?"
Li Yuan smiled. He was now enjoying the treatment of a true disciple. He didn't have much of the premium purple bamboo rice, but he had enough red jade rice to eat as much as he wanted.
"What are you talking about? If you need to buy it, you have to buy it!"
Fang Baoluo turned his head and said, "Junior brother, you don't know that this fool has found a treasure. Your sister-in-law is really talented in business. She is very rich now!"
Ba Wanli grinned and raised his cup to toast:
"This time when I go back, I will be a father. When you come back next time, we will drink for three days and three nights!"
"it is good!"
……
The banquet lasted from before noon until the evening. After seeing off Monk Dou Yue, Li Yuan finally got rid of the smell of alcohol outside the door.
"Never again."
In the yard, Fang Baoluo was walking a little unsteadily, but he still held Li Yuan and talked.
In the year after Li Yuan joined the Longhu Temple, Dechang Prefecture was quickly pacified, and even Zhelong Prefecture was vaguely reincorporated.
"Before you entered the mountain, the Huailong Palace was very powerful and ordered us to share Dechang Prefecture with the Iron Sword Sect and the Fire Dragon Temple. But when the news came that you became a disciple of Master Long, the Huailong Palace also stopped its actions."
Li Yuan was also paying attention to the news from Dechang Prefecture, and was listening quietly to Fang Baoluo talking about the various details.
"Has the master ever sent a letter?"
Li Yuan asked.
"I almost forgot. On the way here, I received some letters from Master. One of them was from you."
Fang Baoluo slapped his forehead, took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Li Yuan. Then, drunk as he was, he waved his hand and went into the next room.
In the room, Ba Wanli's shouts were like thunder.
"Brother Li, have a cup of tea."
After Wang Peiyao cleaned up the table, she handed Li Yuan a cup of tea. Seeing that he wanted to read a letter, she did not disturb him. She closed the door and went back to her residence.
"My disciple personally wrote this."
Li Yuan opened the letter. Old Han's handwriting was the same as before, and the first two pages were still talking about the Thunder Dragon of Beasts.
It seems that Old Han has acquired a lot of martial arts skills. This nascent and unique skill has become quite perfect.
"Your talent is ten times better than mine. I have only cultivated to the point where a hundred beasts can become dragons. Perhaps, one day, you can become a dragon among a thousand beasts..."
In Lao Han's letter, there are expectations for Li Yuan, as well as some warnings:
"You are content with the status quo and are used to hiding your abilities. But in Dao Sect, you don't have to hide your abilities deliberately. Only by showing off your abilities appropriately can you be valued by your superiors. Besides, you may not be able to hide your abilities anymore."
Old Han is an expert and he certainly didn’t hide it.
Li Yuan continued to watch the sequel. What Lao Han said was very obscure, but he still understood the general meaning. These were some habits of the master and disciple when they communicated about the Thunder Dragon of Beasts.
The general meaning is that he has found a way to find the 'Dragon Demon Heart Sutra', but the road is very bumpy, and he barely survived a life-threatening situation to send this letter.
There may not be a second one.
In addition, it was also vaguely mentioned that the two had a conversation in the past, saying that the Longhu Temple might have the secrets of the Longhu Health Furnace that the Taoist Chunyang and the Zen Master Longyin had completely mastered.
"Zhaixing Tower is not a good place."
Li Yuan was a little worried. Lao Han felt that he was content with the status quo and accustomed to hiding, but Lao Han was another extreme, taking risks and being too ostentatious.
"Old Han's obsession with the Dragon Demon Heart Sutra is too deep."
After flipping through the letter several times, Li Yuan didn't see any words related to the place name. Old Han didn't give him any chance to look for it.
"Star Reaching Tower."
Li Yuan repeated this several times in his mind and decided that he should go to the Zhaixing Tower stronghold to inquire for some information.
So much time has passed, the aftermath of the assassination of the king by the master of Zhaixing Tower should have subsided, right?
"call!"
After a long time, Li Yuan blew out the oil lamp, took up position in the small room, and slowly pushed the Hun Tian Posture, while visualizing the Dragon and Tiger Hun Tian Formation in his mind.
"The Dragon-Tiger Hammer and the Dragon-Elephant are of the same lineage. Their main purpose is to defeat cleverness with force and to overwhelm others with power..."
Li Yuan's movements were very slow. There was not a single sound when he raised his arms and lowered his legs. His control over his own strength had reached a meticulous level.
He hadn't practiced the hammer method much in the past two days, but first he broke through the sixth floor of the tower, and then fought a fierce battle with the Master Motian. In fact, his improvement in the hammer method was faster than his ascetic practice.
After practicing several sets of Hun Tian Zhuang, he had gradually reached the great perfection of this hammer technique.
