Chapter Forty-Nine: Above the Banquet (7,000 Words)
|.| "Tianzhao, this is the congratulatory gift that our five sects want to offer to you for the establishment of the Dragon Mansion.Millennial Blood Lingzhi."
Zuo Xingfeng said with a smile and took out a palm-sized blood-red Lingzhi from the space ring, and with the appearance of this blood-red Lingzhi, a bright red light illuminated almost every corner of the hall.
It's just that this energy fluctuation is not pure, because there is also a powerful bloody aura that follows. Rao is Zhuo Tianzhao's incomparably condensed spiritual power, and he also feels dizzy and dizzy when he is caught off guard, and almost loses his mind.
"It's ...... What the hell." He shook his head vigorously, and after a long while, Zhuo Tianzhao was able to adapt to this bloody breath, but his face was extremely embarrassed.
"Hehe, Tianzhao, do you know the origin of this thousand-year-old blood Ganoderma lucidum." Sima Yue smiled and asked himself. As the name suggests, it takes a thousand years to mature, and the premise for a place to breed this thousand-year-old blood reishi is to have a sufficient amount of blood."
"Blood." Zhuo Tianzhao's face changed when he heard this.
"That's right, blood, so according to my estimate, the red liquid at the bottom of the previous volcano wasn't exactly all magma, and it was mixed with the blood of at least tens of thousands of people." Sima Yue's words were astonishing." The volcano is the habitat of that beast, and I am afraid that it did all these things, and the five of us have discussed that this beast is definitely a demon Jiao, and it is because of this that we decided to take a risk and join forces to kill it, otherwise the moment it becomes a divine beast, the Tianfeng Empire will suffer."
After listening to what Sima Yue said, Zhuo Tianzhao suddenly came to his senses, it turned out that they were desperately risking their lives to kill the Demon Jiao, and they didn't just want to pick the thousand-year-old blood Lingzhi as a congratulatory gift for themselves.
"It's just, listen to what you say, can this thousand-year-old blood reishi really be taken?" Zhuo Tianzhao frowned and said, "The thousand-year-old blood reishi is made from blood.Serving it hurts the heavens and not to mention, the bloody breath contained in it is already in a trance.If you eat it, maybe there will be any sequelae.
"To be honest, ordinary people really don't dare to eat it, otherwise the blood will be full of brains, and it is very likely to lead to a madness and become a killing machine." Bai Zhanfeng smiled. But Tianzhao, you're different, you have the Bloodthirsty Demon Knife, and these negative elements can be completely handed over to the Bloodthirsty Demon Knife to absorb on your behalf."
"And aside from these negative factors, the thousand-year-old blood reishi is definitely a rare heaven and earth spiritual object, it can not only enhance qi and blood, accelerate blood circulation, make you absorb energy faster, but also improve the internal organs, strengthen your ** from the inside out, and the huge energy contained in it, can also make your cultivation improve by leaps and bounds, but I suggest that you wait until the soul of the bloodthirsty demon knife recovers before you take it.
"So...... Then I'll be disrespectful." At this time, Zhuo Tianzhao was not pretentious, but immediately took over the thousand-year-old blood lingzhi in Zuo Xingfeng's hand.
"By the way, Tianzhao, I don't know if this thing is interested, if so, I might as well give it to you."
When Zhuo Tianzhao took back the thousand-year-old blood spirit lucidum to the space ring, Bai Zhanfeng's wrist flipped, but he conjured up a blood-colored spirit bead that emitted red light.
"It's ...... Fire Spirit Orb." Looking at the blood-colored spirit bead in Bai Zhanfeng's hand, which was quite similar in appearance to the water spirit bead, but was slightly inferior in energy fluctuations, Zhuo Tianzhao was slightly stunned, and quickly understood that this thing must have been dug out from the flame dragon.
Seeing this Fire Spirit Bead, Zhuo Tianzhao knew that what Zuo Xingfeng said before was not false.That Demon Jiao.Xiuwei had indeed reached the quasi-god level.Otherwise, the soul core in the body would not have been transformed into a spirit bead.Just from the few gray fine lines on it, it could be seen that this Fire Spirit Bead was obviously not pure enough.But then again.If the spirit bead is pure enough, it means that the Demon Jiao has entered the god level.With the strength of the five of them, even if you add the blue-eyed Qingfeng Needle, I am afraid it will not be its opponent.
"Senior Bai, this fire spirit bead, you better keep it yourself, it is of no use to me, if you need it, I can give you another one." Zhuo Tianzhao smiled, and instead took out the water spirit bead from the space ring.
"Water Spirit Beads." Bai Zhanfeng smiled dumbly. You're a good boy."
"It's good, but it's not very useful to me." Zhuo Tianzhao shook his head helplessly.Spirit beads.The function of this thing is similar to that of the soul core.But in terms of effectiveness.It's better than the soul core.I don't know how much.
If you want to build weapons, Zhuo Tianzhao has a bloodthirsty magic knife, if you want to feed the soul beast, it is indeed possible, compared with other soul beasts, the death mantis has no taboos, and the soul core of any attribute can be eaten.
"Tianzhao, you kid......" Bai Zhanfeng glanced at Zhuo Tianzhao speechlessly. Now you are the lord of the First Mansion, and now that the Dragon Mansion is not enough, even if you can't use it yourself, can't you give others a boost of strength?"
"Uh......" Bai Zhanfeng's words made Zhuo Tianzhao speechless, but it also happened to wake him up.
Yes, I'm not alone now.The huge dragon mansion behind me still needs my support.I can't use it.But it doesn't mean that others can't use it.Just like the water spirit bead.In fact, it can be handed over to the phantom of the water attribute.The phantom is now the peak soul saint.It's only one step away from the soul emperor.The energy contained in the water spirit bead can completely supply her saint-level soul beast Tianshui Lingfeng to break through to the emperor level.When the time comes, there is no Tianshui spirit phoenix to absorb soul power from her.The phantom can break through to the emperor level faster.
"Thank you Senior Bai for reminding me." After figuring it out, Zhuo Tianzhao bowed deeply to Bai Zhanfeng.He was used to being alone.So much so that he didn't think about this aspect at all.If it weren't for Bai Zhanfeng's reminder.He didn't know when he would be able to figure this out.
"I don't need to be so serious, I'm just casually mentioning it." Bai Zhanfeng was obviously frightened by Zhuo Tianzhao's sudden move, and quickly lifted him up with one hand.
"Senior Bai, it seems, you woke up the dreamer with a word." The others laughed when they saw this.
"Okay, no kidding." Bai Zhanfeng glared at a few people angrily, and then said to Zhuo Tianzhao. Tianzhao, if not, I'll keep this fire spirit bead for myself, you can take it back, it's almost time, I think, we should go out too."
"It's fine." Zhuo Tianzhao thought about it, nodded and said, At this time, the banquet outside should have begun, if he doesn't go out and show his face again, I'm afraid it will make people think that they are playing a big name, and they are neglected.
Out of the conference hall, the layers of sound waves hit the ears of Zhuo Tianzhao and several people like a tide.
Turning a passage, several people came to the front yard, and in the courtyard, there were no less than 100 banquets.
Seeing this scene, even Zhuo Tianzhao himself was taken aback. The number of families who came to Longfu Daohe today far exceeded his previous expectations, but fortunately, the front yard of Longfu is big enough, otherwise it really can't fit so many people.
And with the appearance of Zhuo Tianzhao and several people, the voice of the audience gradually stopped, and almost everyone's eyes fell on them.
"Dragon Mansion Master ......"
Everyone got up and saluted Zhuo Tianzhao.Although the status of Bai Zhanfeng and others is still above Zhuo Tianzhao.But this is the Dragon Mansion.Today.Zhuo Tianzhao is the protagonist.Therefore, the first object of everyone's salute is naturally Zhuo Tianzhao.
"You don't have to be polite, today is the big day for the establishment of the Dragon Mansion, everyone should eat, you should drink and drink, there is no need to be restrained, if there is any inconsiderate hospitality in the Dragon Mansion, please forgive me. Zhuo Tianzhao beckoned lightly, took a large jar of wine from the waiter on the side, and raised it high. Drink."
Zhuo Tianzhao held the altar with one hand, raised his head and poured the wine into his mouth frantically, ignoring the spilled wine wetting his collar.
"Okay, happy."
"Drink."
"Drink."
......
Zhuo Tianzhao's boldness instantly infected the others, and the scene became lively again, and everyone picked up the wine in their hands and began to drink bitterly......
Zhuo Tianzhao casually handed the empty jar back to the waiter, and then wiped his mouth with his sleeve regardless of the image.
"Everyone, take care of yourself." Zhuo Tianzhao pressed his hand and motioned for everyone to sit down, and then took Bai Zhanfeng and the five people to the most idle chief.
This seat is reserved for Zhuo Tianzhao to be the position of himself and the sect masters of the major sects.Those families still have this self-knowledge.When Ren Xiao Jiang sits down.Even if the other positions are squeezed, no one dares to come up and grab the seat.
"Brother, sorry, it's late." Zhuo Tianzhao pulled out the chair next to Xiao Jiang and sat down, and smiled apologetically at him.
"It's okay, the Dragon Mansion was established today, you should be busy." Ren Xiaojiang waved his hand casually and said with a smile, Now that he is the master of a sect, Ren Xiaojiang naturally can't care about this little thing, not to mention that Ren Wuqiang had already warned him before handing over the Heavenly Star Hall to him:
Remember not to be an enemy of Zhuo Tianzhao, so as not to cause trouble in the future.
This sentence Ren Xiaojiang always remembers.This is also the reason why he came to congratulate Zhuo Tianzhao today.Since he can't be an enemy.Then try to make friends.Anyway, for Zhuo Tianzhao.Not only is he not disgusted.On the contrary, he has some admiration.
Although Zhuo Tianzhao is young, his cultivation should not be underestimated, at least Ren Xiaojiang thinks that he will not be his opponent, and although he acts a little arrogantly, but on the whole, it is quite above board.
After all, Zhuo Tianzhao had a close relationship with the Five Sects, and the Five Sects had a deep enmity with the Huangquan Pavilion and the Moon Shadow Valley.
Calm, decisive, and bold, Zhuo Tianzhao's personality obviously does not match his actual age, Ren Xiaojiang remembers that he was just a tough and ruthless hairy boy a few years ago, and from this point of view, Zhuo Tianzhao is much better than him...... In addition to communicating.
"Brother.." Zhuo Tianzhao's title to Ren Xiaojiang suddenly made Bai Zhanfeng and the others stunned for a while.
"Jacket, here's the thing, I don't think I'm much different in age from Tianzhao, if we are a dragon mansion master, Ren Hall Lord's commensurate, it can't help but seem a little raw, so I propose to be commensurate with Tianzhao's brothers." Ren Xiaojiang explained quietly.
"Oh, I see." Several people stared at Ren Xiaojiang with a hint of playfulness, and looked at the latter's heart for a while.
"These old foxes." The corners of Ren Xiaojiang's mouth twitched slightly.
How can you say that Jiang is still old and spicy, although Ren Xiaojiang tries his best to hide, but he is a little careful, and where can he escape a few eyes, but for Bai Zhanfeng and a few people, Ren Xiaojiang is willing to get close to Zhuo Tianzhao, which is also a good thing, but some things are well known, and it is not beautiful to say it.
"By the way, I heard that the virtuous nephew is now the lord of the Heavenly Star Palace, and we don't seem to have congratulated you yet. Bai Zhanfeng diverted the conversation and raised his wine glass.
"Congratulations."
"Congratulations."
......
Seeing this, Zuo Xingfeng and the others also picked up their own wine glasses.
"The seniors are polite, Xiao Jiang is in charge of the Heavenly Star Palace, and I still need your seniors to take care of it in the future." Ren Xiaojiang pretended to be panicked, and hurriedly picked up the wine glass and saluted.
A glass of hot wine was served, and the previous embarrassing atmosphere was suddenly washed away a lot, but compared to the other tables, Zhuo Tianzhao's first table seemed a little empty.
His gaze inadvertently swept over the two vacant seats on the left.Zhuo Tianzhao's face was slightly gloomy.These two positions.Zhuo Tianzhao originally intended to leave them to the Cangli Sect and the Hualing Sect.But obviously.They didn't come.The meaning of this is not the only one who understands.Even Bai Zhanfeng and them.I'm afraid they have already been like a mirror.
Moon Shadow Valley, Huangquan Pavilion, Yin Sha Gate, these three sects will not come, it has long been in Zhuo Tianzhao's expectation, after all, they have all torn their faces, so there is no need to pretend to come to congratulate, not to say it, but also to add congratulatory gifts, this kind of thankless thing, they naturally won't do it, so Zhuo Tianzhao didn't leave a place for them at first, but ......
The absence of the Cangli Sect and the Hualing Sect was something that Zhuo Tianzhao didn't expect.Although the relationship between these two sects and the Moon Shadow Valley was more ambiguous, it wouldn't be clear to see the situation.At the beginning, in the sect competition.The performance of the two sects was obviously to keep themselves out of the matter.But this time...... They clearly changed their minds.
What kind of method did Jing Ruoshui and Shen Tubao use to change the original intentions of the two sects, so that they did not hesitate to fill in their own sects.
"Tianzhao, today is the big day for the establishment of your Dragon Mansion, don't think about some things, some people are willing to be bored, you just let him go, what do you do." Sima Yue's mind was the most delicate, and seeing Zhuo Tianzhao looking at the vacant seat in a daze, he had already guessed a rough idea.
"Yes, Tianzhao, be happy, come, drink." Lu Chao also echoed, picked up the wine glass, and began to toast Zhuo Tianzhao.
"You're going to have an easy time." Seeing their leisurely appearance, Zhuo Tianzhao suddenly couldn't cry or laugh.It's really that the emperor is not in a hurry, the eunuch is in a hurry.His Dragon Mansion is covered by the Tianfeng Imperial Family.Even if Jing Ruoshui and they want to be unfavorable to themselves.They have to weigh it.Unless they engage in assassination.But this matter is obviously impossible in the capital of Tianfeng Kingdom.Even if they have been secretly monitoring every move of the Dragon Mansion.Zhuo Tianzhao believes that as long as he does not go out of the Tianfeng Kingdom Capital, no one will dare to do anything to him.
But the five sects are different.They don't have the natural umbrella of the Tianfeng Imperial Family.So the situation will only be more dangerous than him.Although Hao Lian Tianxiao has warned both sides that they are not allowed to mess around during the war.But don't forget.Moon Shadow Valley and Huangquan Pavilion both have a history of secretly ambushing people.When the time comes, as long as things are done neatly.There is no evidence.Even if Hao Lian Tianxiao knows about it afterwards, there is no way to pursue anything.And this is also the problem that Zhuo Tianzhao is most worried about now.
"Senior Bai, or today, you will stay in my Dragon Mansion for one night, and then leave tomorrow in the special teleportation array of my Dragon Mansion." Zhuo Tianzhao pondered for a moment, and still couldn't help but suggest.
"Well...... It's fine." Bai Zhanfeng glanced at the others and then nodded in agreement.
Zhuo Tianzhao was worried about their safety.How could they not know.Today, the five sects are all in the Dragon Mansion.This matter.The entire Tianfeng Empire knows.So if you have the heart.Jing Ruoshui.Shentu Leopard can easily intercept them in the middle of the road with the strength of several sects.They are sparsely staffed at the moment.The state is also extremely poor.If Jing Ruoshui and Shentu Leopard really do this.It is really very likely to succeed.So for the sake of safety.Several people still agreed to Zhuo Tianzhao's invitation.
"So it's good, come, drink." Hearing this, Zhuo Tianzhao finally breathed a sigh of relief, he was afraid that Bai Zhanfeng would be reckless, and he refused to agree.
............................
After thirty years of drinking, an hour after the banquet opened, Zhuo Tianzhao began to toast to each banquet under the leadership of Qin Tianming, all the while facing unfamiliar faces, maintaining a consistent smile, repeating polite words, and then pouring glass after glass of liquor into his stomach.
Fortunately, Zhuo Tianzhao is a table of respects, not one person and one person, otherwise he will not be able to finish his respect even if it is dark.
When Zhuo Tianzhao almost escaped back to his position, he was ridiculed by Bai Zhanfeng for a while, and he almost flipped the table and beat people.
After that, Hao Lian Tianxiao came, and the three elders of the Keqing Palace, Li Yunqing, Hao Lian Manxue, and the last one turned out to be Hao Lian Zhenzhan, the monarch of the Tianfeng Kingdom.
The originally lively audience fell into a dead silence.No one expected that the Dragon Mansion would have such a big face.Hao even Tianxiao was coming.Even the monarch Hao Lianzhen was dispatched.And for this scene.Not only others were surprised.Even Zhuo Tianzhao was unexpected.
Before, Hao Lian Tianxiao said that he would come, Zhuo Tianzhao believed that he would definitely be able to speak, so even if more than an hour had passed since the banquet began, Zhuo Tianzhao also believed that Hao Lian Tianxiao would not be dishonest.
Sure enough, Hao Lian Tianxiao came, but with him, there was even Hao Lian Zhenzhan, the monarch of the Tianfeng Kingdom, which Zhuo Tianzhao never dreamed of.
After all, Hao Lianzhenzhan's appearance is of great significance.If Hao Lian Tianxiao will help Longfu because of this well-known relationship between him and Zhuo Tianzhao's father, Long Han, this is indeed understandable.But Hao Lianzhenzhan ...... He is the king of a country, the supreme ruler of the Tianfeng Empire.
Although there is not much difference in the essence between Hao Lian Zhenzhan and whether he qualifies or not, because everyone knows that Hao Lian Tianxiao is the supreme adjudicator in the secret of the Tianfeng Imperial Family, but in meaning, it is completely different.
Hao Lianzhenzhan appeared in the Dragon Mansion, which means that the Tianfeng Imperial Family has officially announced the close relationship between the Dragon Mansion and the Dragon ......Mansion. The fall of the Tianfeng royal family.
The shock that the appearance of Hao Lian Zhenzhan brought to all the families was definitely far from the appearance of the Heavenly Star Palace.Fengyun Pavilion and other sects could be compared.After this, I believe that in the territory of the Heavenly Phoenix Empire, no force would dare to oppose the Dragon Mansion.Of course, at least on the bright side.
Due to the particularity of their status, Hao Lian Tianxiao and Hao Lian Zhen did not stay in the Dragon Mansion for a long time, but simply sent a few words of congratulations, and then put down the gift money and got up to leave, leaving only Hao Lian Manxue and Li Yunqing to represent the Tianfeng royal family.
Hao Lian Manxue and Li Yunqing's seats just replaced the seats vacated by Cangli Sect and Hua Ling Sect due to their absence.
Li Yunqing is a good person, he is very talkative, his attitude is also kind, he has no arrogance at all, and he seems to be an old acquaintance with Bai Zhanfeng, so he quickly mingles with everyone, even Zhuo Tianzhao and Ren Xiaojiang, the two juniors, occasionally interject a sentence or two, and the atmosphere seems to be very harmonious, except Hao Lian Manxue......
This iceberg beauty actually has a straight face on such an occasion, and she doesn't even say a word.
Zhuo Tianzhao thinks that he is usually a little cold and arrogant, not good at communicating, and to put it ugly, it is to pretend to be forced, but when he saw Hao Lian Manxue today, he suddenly understood what it means to have someone outside the person, there are mountains outside the mountain, and his own Taoism is not worth mentioning in front of Hao Lian Manxue.
It seemed that she found Zhuo Tianzhao looking at her.Hao Lian Manxue raised her head and glared at him fiercely.Then she began to bury her head in eating again.
"......" Zhuo Tianzhao was dumbfounded, he didn't seem to offend her, why did he stare at me so well.
"Okay, Tianzhao, don't pay attention to her, except for Tianfeng Guojun and Hao Lian's seniors, this girl won't give anyone a good look, not even his parents." Ren Xiaojiang saw the abnormality, and said with a smile on Zhuo Tianzhao's shoulder.
After more than an hour of communication, the relationship between Zhuo Tianzhao and Ren Xiaojiang is very good.
"Hey, what are you talking about?" The eyes as cold as a blade stabbed at Ren Xiaojiang viciously.This is the first time since Hao Lian Manxue entered the table.Zhuo Tianzhao has heard her speak.
"Did I say anything. I'm just telling the truth." Ren Xiaojiang shrugged his shoulders without fear, and said with a faint smile.
"You know a." Hao Lian Manxue, who looked like a fairy, actually burst out of his mouth with a foul sentence that was completely inconsistent with his image.
"Well, then we don't know, just tell us about it." Zhuo Tianzhao touched his chin and asked with interest. Tell me why you have a stinky face all day long."
"I love to put on a bad face, it's your business."
"......" Zhuo Tianzhao's eyelids jumped unconsciously.
"Manxue, pay attention to your words, you know that you are now the representative of our royal family." Seeing that the atmosphere was a little awkward, Li Yunqing, who was sitting next to him, hurriedly reminded Hao Lianmanxue in a low voice.
"It's they who don't have anything to do first." Hao Lianmanxue pouted.
"Hey, you have to make it clear, who's not looking for trouble, we're concerned about you." Zhuo Tianzhao suddenly found that it seemed to be quite interesting to tease Hao Lianmanxue.
"Which one wants you to care about pulling." Hao Lian Manxue glanced at Zhuo Tianzhao. Self-inflicted."
"Self-...... Self-inflicted." Zhuo Tianzhao's facial muscles twitched for no reason. Hey, miss, please figure out the situation, who is making a fool of himself."
"That's you." Hao Lian Manxue took the case." Uncle Li, I can't stay here any longer, it's enough for you to represent our royal family, I'll go back first."
Hao Lian Manxue kicked away the chair and immediately brushed his sleeves away, leaving only a group of people looking at each other.
Hao Lian Manxue ...... "Looking at the back that was gradually moving away, Zhuo Tianzhao's eyes also narrowed into a line.Today, the Dragon Mansion was established.In front of so many people, he didn't give any face at all.This somewhat made Zhuo Tianzhao's heart breed a trace of dissatisfaction.
