Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Banquet

Early the next morning, the city lord's mansion.

It was the first time Qin Luyan had stepped into this place, and she felt that the layout of this mansion was even more magnificent than the palace in her previous life. Wide golden floor tiles, crystal coral railings, white jade corridor columns hugged by two people, giant dragon silk pattern relief, more than one person high purple gold cold iron tripod, carved beams and paintings everywhere, majestic and solemn, revealing a gorgeous and atmospheric style.

And as far as she knows, this gold brick is really worthy of its name, it is made of Yunyang Mountain gold essence mixed with demonic Xuanzhu, mixed with the essence blood of many fierce beasts, and has a strong evil effect, claiming to be able to suppress all yin spirits and ghosts.

However, according to Feng Chenxue, compared to those ingenious palaces on the main peak of Xuanling Palace, these in front of him are nothing at all. The so-called immortal family wealth is not at the same level at all compared to the dynasty in the secular world.

With the melodious and melodious sound of bell chime music, a group of outer gate elders led the way, followed by hundreds of male and female disciples, and entered the main hall of the City Lord's Mansion in an orderly manner, and the feast had already been prepared.

This time, the city lord summoned all the deacons and elders who were on errands in the city, and the top three hundred outer disciples were invited, except for a very few who were seriously injured and really unable to participate, all the qualified disciples were basically here.

The spacious hall is brightly lit, of course, the lights are all colorful pearl glow, a golden silk bright sandalwood dining table decorated with pearls and gems, and a team of maids in gorgeous skirts stepped forward like butterflies, leading the elders and disciples to sit separately, all of them are one person and one seat.

As the first person among the outer disciples, Qin Luyan and the remaining nineteen disciples were all arranged in the area at the top of the main hall, adjacent to the seats of the city lord and elders.

"Today's banquet, there won't be an accident, right?" She looked around and said thoughtfully.

"For others, it's just a banquet. But for you, sister, I'm afraid it's not that simple. Feng Chenxue, who was not far away, smiled slightly.

As a core disciple of the sect, since she is willing to come to the banquet, the seats that can be arranged will certainly not be bad, and she is even higher than some elders.

Qin Luyan looked slightly stunned, staring at a certain gem on the table in front of her, which clearly reflected her own appearance: a brand-new snow-white robe, dark eyes full of charm, cloud temples high, a verdant jade hairpin inserted in the bun, the black hair as black as ink is enough to illuminate the figure, the beautiful face is smooth and white, and it is so delicate that it can pinch out the water.

"Sister, you're saying that someone wants to target me?" She asked softly.

"Of course, a disciple with outstanding qualifications like you is so beautiful, it is estimated that some people already have ideas in their hearts." Feng Chenxue said leisurely.

"Then, if there is someone who can't open his eyes, there will be Sister Lao." Qin Luyan said.

She knew that Feng Chenxue came here on purpose today, just at her own request, to deter some ill-intentioned guys. After all, some elders are still quite powerful, and if they insist on making things difficult, even if they are not afraid, there is no good way to deal with them for the time being.

"I don't know what happened to that old ancestor now, I have to visit another day." Qin Luyan thought to herself.

After Elder Qin Cangyun was accidentally injured back then, he had been in retreat and cultivation in recent years, and basically did not appear, so he didn't know what the situation was. After Qin Luyan entered the sect, she was busy improving her strength, so she had never been able to understand it, but now she couldn't delay it any longer.

Seeing that there was still some time left for the banquet to start, she took out a jade slip and began to check the sect's item exchange list.

The list of materials given by the sect is extremely rich, and many scarce resources that are difficult to see in the secular world appear on the list. For example, there is no shortage of tailor-made magic weapons and spiritual weapons, various elixirs, array magic weapons, Dan furnaces, rune paper, low-level puppets, etc., and many rare high-level ingredients.

Of course, this is only the type of resources that inner disciples can exchange. If you are a core disciple, you can choose from more good things. If you have enough sect merits, you can theoretically even ask the Supreme Sect Master to guide you on the path of cultivation alone, or let the Supreme Elder refine magic weapons for you, and so on.

Qin Luyan browsed it and found that Han Yuan Dan was the most basic elixir, a little battle merit could be exchanged for one, the Qingling Blood Yuan Pill was one hundred and thirty battle merits, and as for the Chun Yuan Sheng Xue Dan, it was five hundred battle merits.

She now has three thousand combat merits, and if she wants, she can exchange them for six Pure Yuan Sheng Snow Pills. After taking it all, it was enough to push one's cultivation to the ninefold peak of the Qi Refining Realm.

"There are actually two elixirs? This is the key resource needed for the Great Perfection of the Qi Refining Realm and then breaking through to the Yun Spirit Realm. Qin Luyan thought with a little surprise.

This kind of elixir is a scarce resource for any Dao cultivator, and it requires a variety of rare and precious elixirs, which are personally shot by an alchemist at the core elder level, and it takes several years of hard work to make it possible to refine a furnace of Cheng Dan.

Due to the difficulty in controlling the medicinal properties and heat, the rejection rate of this elixir is extremely high, but its demand is particularly large, so the market price has been high.

"10,000 combat exploits can be exchanged for one? Moreover, each inner disciple can only have an exchange opportunity once in two years, which is really rare. Qin Luyan sighed secretly.

Comparatively speaking, even spiritual weapons and equipment are not so precious. The standard spiritual weapon-level armor is exchanged for 5,000 combat merits, and the weapon is more expensive, but it can't cost 10,000 combat merits at all.

It seems that she will have to work harder in the future, and after this rare life-and-death struggle, she has only earned 3,000 battle merits. It can be seen how hard this kind of thing is to earn. However, after cultivating to a high level, it should be easier to earn merits.

A moment later, as the bell rang, the city lord finally entered the hall surrounded by a group of elders, and all the disciples present stood up to greet him.

The city lord's interest looked good, he nodded with a smile on his face, briefly said some words of encouragement and commendation, and then announced that Qin Luyan and the other twenty outer-performing outer disciples had obtained the status of inner disciples from now on, and they could move from the city to live on the main peak of Xuanling Palace, which had a more favorable environment.

As for the remaining two hundred and eighty disciples, they have all received rewards such as pill medicine and magic scriptures, and have the assessment qualifications of inner disciples. If you can manage to complete the trial assessment tasks set by the sect in the future, you can also be promoted to an inner disciple.

After the reward was announced, the city lord signaled for a feast. Many delicacies from the mountains and seas, and the wine and elixir were served by the maids like flowing water, for the disciples present to enjoy to their heart's content.

Since it was a celebration banquet, there were few rules and constraints, and the disciples could walk around the banquet at will, toast and talk to their acquaintances and teachers, and no one interfered with the wine.

Qin Luyan drank two glasses lightly, and was talking to Feng Chenxue in a low voice, when a handsome young man walked over with a wine glass, with a personable smile on his face: "In Xia Han Qing, he is the nephew of Elder Han Qi of the Outer Gate, and I have heard of Senior Sister Qin's peerless elegance for a long time, I wonder if I have the honor to invite you to sit with me?" ”
