"Miss, are you good in this red dress, how energetic you are, and how dazzling you look in the crowd."

Because she was going to participate in a formal banquet, Hua Wu was very attentive, and got up early in the morning to prepare the clothes to wear, and hesitated for a long time to choose, and it was not finalized until the afternoon.

Xiao Meng sat on the side and reviewed, didn't raise his head when he heard the words, and said lazily, "Well..., whatever..."

In her tone, she didn't care about this matter, and it was estimated that she might not have heard what Hua Wu said.

Hua Wu glanced at Xiao Meng a few times, and finally shook her head helplessly, didn't bother anymore, and only discussed with Ma Jin.

Xiao Meng studied for a while, and there was a sense of fluctuation in the space of Hong Xu, just like a small stone suddenly thrown into the deep well where there were no waves in the ancient well.

With the fragment of Hong Xuding so far, this is the first time I have felt this way.

Xiao Meng hurriedly dived his consciousness into Hong Xuding's space, and that feeling was even stronger, but there were no ripples in his sight.

Approximately, this fluctuation is still too small to be seen, and can only be felt by the ontological connection between the soul and Hong Xuding.

The center that gave Xiao Meng a sense of fluctuation was the ordinary medicine ding that refined the Dao Qiandan.

Xiao dreamed that the alchemy time for three days and three nights was almost up.

In the past few times of refining, there was no such vision, and when it was almost time to refine, Xiao Meng would observe it with his consciousness, but what he saw was only Dan powder that had been calcined to ashes.

This time, it was completely different from the previous three times, Xiao Meng was ecstatic, and hurriedly transferred his consciousness to the inside of the ordinary medicine pod.

Xiao Meng was pleasantly surprised to find that the powder of the Buddha Ben Dan and the Qing Saliva Pill in the belly of the Ding did not sink to the bottom as usual, but was held up by an invisible force, hanging in the center of the Ding Belly and slowly circulating counterclockwise, as if there was a hand, stirring in the flow of Dan powder, forming a shallow circular whirlpool.

That's how that little fluctuation came about.

Such an unreasonable phenomenon made Xiao Meng very excited. Xiao Meng couldn't help but think, could it be that the Dao Qiandan was about to be refined? So good? Isn't it said a thousand times or a Dan?

Xiao Meng continued to observe with some disbelief.

I saw that the agitation speed in the whirlpool of Nadan powder slowly accelerated and became faster, and slowly accelerated and became faster......

However, with a 'snap', the stirring seemed to malfunction and abruptly stopped, as if blowing a balloon with a breath and blowing and blowing, but the balloon suddenly exploded.

The feeling of fluctuation suddenly disappeared, and the deep well returned to the unprovoked calm of thousands of years.

The whirlpool had no external traction, and could no longer rotate in an orderly manner, and the Dan powder became scattered and collided, and then as if it had lost its support, it fell from the belly of the tripod and fell at the bottom of the medicine tripod.

It has become a lifeless pill powder just like the previous three alchemies, Xiao Meng saw.

Xiao Meng looked at this phenomenon and didn't come back to his senses for a while.

It failed again, but it was expected and taken for granted.

When Xiao Meng was in a daze, he couldn't help but think that this was the fourth alchemy, and such a magical vision appeared, which showed that it was a big step closer to the success of Dao Qiandan's refining.

Xiao Meng could almost think that if that invisible stirring force hadn't stopped, then Dao Qiandan was waiting at the end.

I thought again, there was such a slight fluctuation for the fourth time, so in the future, with the refining again and again, will the fluctuation be more ferocious? Or will there be earth-shattering movements?

However, Xiao Meng just thought about it and didn't care very much.

The alchemy is over, and Xiao Meng currently has no materials for refining Dao Qiandan, so he can't help but feel a little pity.

Glancing at the fire supply port under the medicine pod, there was only a little bit of jade left, so Xiao Meng didn't care about it anymore and let it burn away.

At this time, Xiao Meng seemed to hear a faint cry in the distance.

"Miss-, miss-."

Xiao Meng suddenly remembered that his consciousness had been invested in Hong Xuding's space for too long.

This Hong Xuding space seems to be in another world, no, this is not accurate, it should be one with one's soul, but there is no feeling of being one with the body.

Therefore, when Xiao Meng's consciousness sank into Hong Xuding, it was as if his soul had withdrawn from his body, and listening to the sound outside, it was very faint and distant.

Hearing Hua Wu's distant voice, Xiao Meng immediately regained consciousness. After the soul and body merged, the voice of the flower became clear.

"Miss, did you hear me? Why did you get stuck? ”

The sound was a few decibels higher than usual.

Xiao Meng looked up from the book, as if he had come back to his senses, his eyes burst into light, and he smiled at Hua Wu, "I accidentally wanted to be fascinated!" Huawu, what do you call me? ”

Hua Wu rolled her eyes, "Miss, you can actually be fascinated by such a boring book, and I have convinced you." ”

Xiao Meng smiled and didn't say.

Hua Wu hurriedly urged again, "Miss, change your clothes quickly, the banquet is almost starting, if you don't change it, it's too late, I have to comb your hair, and I have to walk over." ”

At the end of the banquet, Xiao Meng looked at the sky, it was indeed fast, so he dressed up with Huawu.

In the Youyan Garden, the red lanterns have been hung high, and the lights are bright, reflecting the magnificence of the court. Living water flows down from the rockery in the garden according to the steps, and the flowing water is dingdong, accompanied by the sound of silk and bamboo, and the human language is shallow, showing elegance.

Banquets have been set up on the first floor, second floor, and third floors, and banquets have also been set up in the garden and under the corridor.

More than 1,000 contestants will attend the banquet, 83 people who entered the semi-finals will have tables on the second floor, 20 people who have entered the finals, the tables will be set up on the third floor, the first floor will be the people of the family, and all the other contestants will be arranged under the garden corridor.

On a red carpet along the road, when Xiao Meng came, someone called his name, and then was led slowly by the maid, attracting envious eyes.

Such a pomp shows the importance that the Gu family attaches to the herb picker, and also highlights the status of the herb picker in the Gu family.

In the Gu family, once he became a medicine picker, he immediately became the core backbone of the Gu family, and his status should not be underestimated. Xiao Meng didn't have such a deep understanding of this point before.

The third floor of Youyan Garden, from the outside, is narrower than the downstairs, but when I really got to the third floor, I found that there was a lot inside, more than twice as wide as the actual area, and the furnishings and utensils here were all exquisite and gorgeous, all of them were grand and noble, compared to what I saw all the way downstairs, none of them were at a level.

In addition to the twenty people who entered the finals, the elders of the Gu family, relevant stewards, direct core children, and core clan members also attended.

Among them, Mrs. Tai, Gu Yuqiu, Gu Qingling, Yang Yue, Gu Qinghuan, Gu Qingrui and other key figures are all there, except for Liu Yunqing.

Attending the banquet with such a character gave Xiao Meng the illusion that he had already broken into the Gu family.

Not only did Xiao Meng think so, but the other nineteen people were even more flattered, as if they had suddenly jumped out of the dragon gate and become honored figures, their already excited mood became more and more high, and their pride and humility swelled at the same time.

At the same time, they had a sense of honor in their hearts, wanting to repay the Gu family for showing their ability, and they wanted to continue to climb up, hoping that the flame would become more and more vigorous.

This is probably the purpose of this banquet.

Highlight status, highlight nobility, and make people yearn, so that they can be more heartfelt to the Gu family, and they can contribute more to the Gu family.

After Xiao Meng was amazed, he sighed in his heart. Is it reliable to retain people's hearts and minds by such means?

At least, Xiao Meng can better understand the gap between Gu Yuxun and before and after at this time. When it is useful, it is held high, and when it is useless, it is discarded like a piece of cake.

With such a family, Xiao Meng can't give birth to a sense of belonging.

The only thing that the Gu family can keep Xiao Meng is those lovely people and their oath to Gu Yuxun.

When the oath is completed, Xiao Meng will definitely choose to leave.
