Chapter 41: The Banquet

Xuchen took everyone down the mountain, and when he passed by the Leopard Spring, he found that the medicinal herb seeds in the three acres of land, after the watering of the spiritual rain, had all grown, and some were already half a foot high.

This is the biggest gain. Here, the speed at which these medicinal herbs grow is at least thirty times faster than that outside. A hundred years of medicinal herbs, in about three years, can grow a batch. In this way, the problem of scarcity of precious medicinal materials is basically solved. In the future, if you want to make alchemy, cure diseases and save people, it will be much easier.

Back in the view, the three main control array disks, Xuchen kept one for himself, gave the senior brother Xujing a piece, and Songhe Dao Chang a piece, and instructed them to carry it with them to prevent it from falling into the hands of others.

This upside-down Bagua Nine Star Mother and Child Array is not only extremely defensive, but also very flexible and convenient. In the important places of the back mountain, the mother array can operate for a long time, and the Purple Cloud Temple has close pilgrims during the day, and the sub-array can be closed during the day and stimulated at night.

Xuchen handed over the task of taking care of the golden eagle to Xuqing, and the task of taking care of the medicinal materials to Tan Daowen, and Lu Yun managed the chores in the view. Senior Brother Song took over the position of Zhike, and Xujing was still the prison and concurrently served as financial management.

After making these arrangements, Xuchen gave Xujing, Xuqing, and Song Senior Brothers a Yunling Pill each, Tan Daowen and Lu Yun each a Yunling Pill and thirty Yuanqi Pills, and gave each of the three Songhe Daoist Elders and apprentices a body protection jade magic weapon.

Then teach them the "Nine Immortal Heavenly Sutra", the real immortal Taoist magic book, and teach them the three simple spells of fire control, concealment, and wind resistance.

The scriptures and secrets of cultivating immortals are also divided into several levels, from low to high: human scriptures, earth scriptures, heavenly scriptures, Xuan scriptures, immortal scriptures, and Taoist scriptures.

Originally, Xuchen wanted to wait until he entered the Tongxuan Realm before teaching it to them. It's just that the plan can't catch up with the changes, and he offended the five factions for the elixir, especially the Qingcheng faction, and it is difficult to guarantee that they will not retaliate, or steal the elixir.

As for the origin of the "Nine Souls True Sutra", Xuchen didn't want to reveal too many secrets for the time being, but just told them, "Don't ask anything, when you should know, he will naturally tell them." ”

Brother Xujing and Song are knowledgeable about goods, and as soon as they listen to the mantra of the heart, they know that it is extraordinary, and their hearts are also very happy.

Especially Senior Brother Song, after these days of contact, he is also familiar with Xujing and Xuqing, and he feels like he has found home, and he feels that his choice is extremely wise.

As for Tan Daowen and Lu Yun, after seeing the elusive methods of Xuchen, they admired him so much.

After a few more busy days, Xuchen went to Hantan to dig out a few old plum trees and transplant them next to the Leopard Spring. Only then did they hand over the affairs to them, and in the Purple Cloud Pavilion at the top of the peak, they ate a dragon scale fruit, cultivated quietly, and before they knew it, it was the end of the month again.

And in the past few days, he has not only practiced the fifth form of the Xuanwu Seventy-two Styles, "Void Shattering" and the sixth style, "Broken Yuan Finger", but also cultivated the refining technique of enhancing his divine sense, and when he cultivated to the first level, his divine consciousness has doubled, and he can already release a range of 1,000 meters.

And the spirit bead of the Xuanbing Black Snake, the void dust also refined it in the dantian.

Void dust looked at the dantian inside, and saw that in the sea of qi, the spirit bead was like a small star, rotating with the sea of qi.

He activated his true qi, opened his mouth and spat out, and a pillar of red fire erupted violently, burning towards a boulder next to him.

The air crackled under the flames, and after a few breaths, the dust inhaled and swallowed the flames back into his belly. When I walked to the side, I saw that the boulder had been burned to a grayish white.

With a flick of his hand, the boulder instantly fell to the ground, shattering into powder.

"I didn't expect the flame magic power to be so powerful, it was much more powerful than the fire control technique, and it could be activated in an instant, and there was almost no time to prepare. Xuchen was overjoyed.

The golden eagle also followed the cultivation side, and after these days of cultivation, he ate a lot of Yuan Qi Pill, and finally advanced, becoming a first-level spirit beast, which is equivalent to the strength of the initial stage of the Transformation Realm Grandmaster.

At this moment, Xuchen received an invitation letter from Ye Tiantan, inviting him and Senior Brother Song to go to Songfeng Villa the day after tomorrow to participate in the celebration banquet of the opening of Longjiang Mansion.

......

On the morning of the third day, Ye Tiantan sent three drivers and drove three Land Rovers to greet Xuchen, Senior Brother Song, Gu Daochang, Jin Daochang, Mo Daochang and Hua Qingyang, the head of Yuxu Palace, at the foot of Wudang Mountain.

Except for Hua Qingyang and Xuchen meeting for the first time, several of them are already very familiar. During this time, Hua Qingyang naturally heard of his name, and when he saw him coming, he took the initiative to step forward, held Xuchen's hand and said a few words.

Xuchen also politely greeted a few words, and thought to himself: "Sure enough, the strength is different, the contact circle is different, if before, Hua Qingyang saw himself, it would be impossible to take the initiative to say hello." ”

He sighed in his heart for a while, got into a car with Senior Brother Song, stopped talking, closed his eyes and practiced the magic technique.

By the time the car stopped, it was already at the gate of Matsukaze Villa.

Songfeng Villa is the most prestigious leisure villa in Dragon City, and it is also an industry under the name of Ye Tiantan.

In the parking lot at the entrance of the villa, luxury cars are like clouds. Audi, Daben can be seen everywhere, and even super luxury cars such as Bugatti, Ferrari, and Lamborghini also appear in the car park. The wealthy celebrities in Longcheng basically received invitations, and even Qiao Lao, a high-ranking official in the city, came to cheer, which shows the high grade of this banquet.

As soon as they got out of the car, six Taoist priests appeared at once, which still attracted everyone's attention. Ye Tiantan, Su Beiming, and Cao Qingliang came out to greet them together.

"Masters, hard work, please come inside. Ye Tiantan was full of smiles, leading the way in front, and at the same time introduced Cao Qingliang, the public security chief of Longcheng South District, to them.

"Ye Jushi, congratulations!" Several people also said a few polite words, and each of them took out a congratulatory gift to Ye Tiantan.

The Songhe Dao Chang sent the nine-eyed dzi, the Gu Dao Chang, the Jin Dao Chang, and the Mo Dao Chang all sent the jade pendants of the open light, and Hua Qingyang sent fire to the dzi.

Xuchen didn't have time to prepare other things, so he gave him a refined body protection jade magic weapon and put it in a small cloth bag for him.

Ye Tiantan smiled and accepted everyone's congratulatory gifts, took a tiger step, and led the way in front.

"I didn't expect Master Wei to be so young, and he was already a martial arts master, congratulations!" Cao Qingliang smiled and talked to Xuchen in a daze.

He was in his fifties, had a big belly, and a round face. Due to staying up late all year round to handle cases, the hair on the temples is already half white, and the hair on the top of the head has almost fallen out, and he looks approachable in ordinary casual clothes.

"Hehe, Cao Jushi has won the award. "A few words of humility.

For a dedicated person like him, Xuchen admires it very much in his heart. During the conversation, I learned that he was still a special soldier before, because he was injured in his left foot during a mission, he was transferred back to Longcheng, joined the serious crime team, worked for more than 20 years, and became the director of the bureau.

Only then did Xuchen realize that he was walking with a slight limp on his left foot, and he really couldn't find it if he didn't look carefully.

"That's it, Cao Jushi, if you have time in the future, you can come to Ziyuanguan, and I can cure you for free. Void Dust opened his mouth to invite.

"Hehe, really? Then I'll thank Master Wei in advance. Cao Qingliang also heard that his medical skills were excellent, and he wanted to visit, so he hurriedly agreed.

A few people chatted while walking, and after a while, they arrived at the main venue of the banquet, the back garden of Songfeng Villa.

The architecture of Songfeng Villa is completely in the classical Chinese architectural style, just like the Suzhou garden, and the antique buildings are built along the mountain, dotted around. Everywhere are pine and green bamboo, small bridges and flowing water, and everyone seems to have returned to the Jiangnan countryside of the Ming and Qing dynasties.

The back garden is the size of two football fields, with a red carpet in the middle, and on either side are staggered and orderly Chinese dining tables, with 98 tables, almost full. Only a few tables are still empty in the front row, reserved for the positions of the bigwigs and celebrities in Dragon City.

In front of the garden, there is a Chinese-style stage, and the famous Sichuan Opera Fenghua Art Troupe of SC was invited to come over, ready to let everyone watch the performance while drinking.

The unique skill of Sichuan Opera is to change the face, and the unique skill of the ace Taizhu Dragon Master of the Fenghua Art Troupe is even more famous.

Ye Tiantan was in front, and directly led them to sit at the front desk and sue them. In the past, Qiao Lao invited him to the stage to say a few words and announce the official start of the banquet.

At this time, it was almost noon, and the waitress began to serve tea and food. Holding a wooden plate, it shuttles between various dining tables like a butterfly, sending all kinds of delicacies from the mountains and seas.

Xuchen, Senior Brother Song, Gu Daochang, Jin Daochang, Mo Daochang, and Hua Zhangmen were six people at a table, and several people sat in front of them, which immediately attracted countless eyes.

"Who is this little Taoist, why is he so faced?"

"yes, except for him. I know Master Gu, Master Jin, Master Mo, and Master Hua next to me, and I don't know the other old Taoist elder either. ”

"Lao Zhao, the old Taoist is the famous Feng Shui master Songhe Taoist who shocked the south and north of Sichuan. A fat middle-aged man next to him turned to his companion and explained.

"Oh, it turns out that he is the Songhe Dao Chief, and he really doesn't look ordinary!"

"Of course, Master Songhe heard that he is over seventy years old, and he looks like he is about fifty years old, and he is really well maintained. ”

"Yes, cultivators are different, Master Gu and Master Jin are not the same, they are all full of red light, envy!"

"Hehe, Brother Zhao, Brother Zhang, Brother Qin, you don't have to be envious. There must be a loss, not everyone can leave behind the glory and wealth and devote themselves to the Tao. Didn't you always want to meet Master Wei, that young Taoist is Master Wei. Su Beiming happened to be at the same table with them, and couldn't help but smile when he heard it.

"Ah, it turns out that he is Master Wei, so young. Lao Su, aren't you familiar with him, introduce us to him. ”

"No problem, I'll go over for a toast later. Come, let's have a toast first!" Su Beiming raised his glass and drank it all with them.

On the left side of the garden, Su Yudie, Lu Xiaoxiao, Zheng Jiuying, Qin Mu and a few of their friends gathered together. Excitedly stood up, pulled Su Yudie's left arm, and said, "Yudie, look, Daoist Wei is also here." Let's go, let's go to the bar. ”

"Okay. Su Yudie thought that she hadn't thanked people in person, and it was unreasonable to say that she didn't respect a cup, so she walked with her towards the Xuchen table.
