Ye Fan used the storage bag to put away all the yuan stones and mysterious utensils on the table, and then opened the door calmly. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Outside the door were standing an innkeeper who led the way and a middle-aged man wearing the costume of a housekeeper of the Cao Mansion.

"Ye Gongzi, my lord has set up a family banquet, please be sure to go to the banquet tonight. He also said that he would bring out a lot of fine wines and wines that he brewed to entertain you!"

When the housekeeper of Cao Mansion saw Ye Fan come out, his expression was a little strange, but he respectfully handed over a beautifully made purple invitation card with both hands. Although Ye Fan is not on the "Donglai List", he has participated in the rafting meeting and is already a well-known Wuzun Realm figure in Donglai City.

Moreover, Dean Cao Hao set up a family banquet, and this kind of treatment is not something that ordinary people can enjoy.

In the entire Donglai County Courtyard, there are countless genius martial arts students, but only a handful can set foot in the Cao Mansion. And those who were able to participate in the Cao Mansion family banquet even Li Hao, Pan Yun, and Princess Ling Jiaojiao had never had them.

It shows the importance of Cao Hao's courtesy to Ye Fan.

He, the housekeeper, naturally didn't dare to snub Ye Fan in the slightest.

"Family dinner?"

Ye Fan was a little surprised.

He originally thought that Cao Hao was looking for him, just a simple three or two people drinking together, or a few more drinking friends, a small private banquet for a few people.

But I didn't expect it to be a family banquet in Caofu, which is usually rarely invited to outsiders.

"Yes, Cao Fu family banquet, there is only one guest in the Cao family and you. ”

"Well, please reply to the dean, the student council will go to the banquet on time!"

Ye Fan nodded and took the invitation.

After the housekeeper of Caofu delivered the invitation, he didn't bother much, and left with the inn junior.

Ye Fan closed the door again.

Cao Fu's invitation is tonight.

It's just dawn in the morning, so there's no hurry.

Ye Fan slept soundly in the inn for an hour, regained his vigorous spirit, and only then got up. For people in the realm of Wuzun, sleeping for one or two hours a day is enough.

It's been a long time until the evening. Ye Fan didn't know what he should do.

After being stunned for a while, Ye Fan finally thought of what he should do. Sort out what you learned today and learn from it for the future.

He quickly counted today's harvest.

In addition to the rafting at night, a large number of yuan stones and a storage bag were harvested. In the ten-row race during the day, he also got a lot of good things. Because almost all of them were the ones he came to answer the most difficult questions, he took away the best prizes on the tenth level of the Ten Rows.

Like a third-order machine sword blueprint, a second-order beast incense, a small gourd, and a third-order fire cloud shochu. Ten Boat Race Tokens. And so on, this benefit is no less than the harvest of the rafting club.

In addition to these property gains, there is another important gain, that is, the experience of a life-and-death struggle with Chu Hailiang.

The experience of this battle is obviously very valuable.

Ye Fan used to fight a lot with the beast clan, and rarely fought with people, especially with the masters of the Wuzun realm.

The fierce battle with the beast clan is completely different from the fierce battle with Wuzun.

The beast body of the Sea Beast Venerable is often several times more powerful than that of the human race. But their brains are not bright, and they often rely on instinct to fight. The orcs from the tribe are better at group fighting, like the green wolf tribe in the Burning Sun Mountains, they will fight in legions. But the scattered orcs in the wild rely more on instinct and rarely cooperate in hunting.

This led to Ye Fan using means to trap and kill the Sea Beast Venerable, which was easy to succeed.

And Wu Zun's physique is obviously weaker than that of the Beast Clan, but the danger brought by high intelligence is far greater than that of the Sea Beast Zun. As long as you make a small mistake. If you are caught by the enemy, you will be hit by a storm.

Ye Fan has a deep understanding of this. A short fight with Chu Hailiang was almost more laborious than a fight with dozens of sea beasts.

If it weren't for the fact that he had a small gourd of third-order martial marquis level wine on his body, the burning wine liquefied into vitality and erupted into a powerful thunder pillar attack, he couldn't help Chu Hailiang at all.

"It seems that in the future, it is not only necessary to enhance the combat experience with the beasts. It is also necessary to improve the combat experience with the Terran Martial Venerable. Otherwise, even if the cultivation is high, it will fall behind. ”

During the day, Ye Fan stayed at the inn without incident.

He thought that he might not stay in Donglai City for long, and he might soon go out to cultivate. Before that, you need to prepare some items for use outside, so you go out to the streets of the city and the various grocery stores to buy some things that you will need in the future.

The second-order beast incense is a must, containing a large number of exotic fragrances of hundreds of rare fruit materials, which is used to attract beast-level sea beasts. One can burn for a whole day, but it is expensive, up to three yuan stones.

Ye Fan purchased a hundred in one go, thinking that these were enough for him to use outside for a year and a half.

As long as there are enough Sea Beast Venerables, a large amount of qi and blood can be provided and refined into drops of blood essence to increase the concentration of their blood.

Increasing the concentration of each bloodline in order to meet the requirements of bloodline awakening is the most important thing in the cultivation of the Wuzun realm. Then you can cultivate to the sixth or seventh level of the Martial Venerable Stage realm as fast as possible.

Ye Fan's large number of purchases made the shopkeeper of the grocery merchant pavilion happy, and there were very few such big customers who purchased so many beast incense in one go.

The shopkeeper hurriedly transferred goods from various stores to meet Ye Fan's procurement needs.

Ye Fan went to the Xuanqi Merchant Pavilion again, and unexpectedly saw a pair of second-order high-grade eight-color Xuansi soft hedgehog armor, which was refined from eight second-order high-grade Xuanxi. This soft hedgehog armor can be worn close to the body, and it has good resistance and defense against the eight series of Yuan Qi combat skills.

Whether it's fire, ice, lightning strikes, or energy skills like wind blades, most of the power is canceled out when hit on them. Of course, this is a soft inner armor that cannot withstand the heavy blows of the Xuanqi sword.

The price of this armor is as high as 2,000 yuan stones, almost more than most of the second-order mystical weapons and second-order mystical armor on the market. Ordinary Xuanqi Xuanjia can be bought with hundreds of yuan stones.

Ye Fan gritted his teeth and bought it.

No matter how many yuan stones there are, you have to have a life to keep the flowers.

Chu Hailiang was attacked by one of his thunderbolts, and was paralyzed by a strong lightning strike, and as a result, he lost his life. If you wear a pair of soft hedgehog armor like this, I'm afraid that thunder pillar may not be able to work.

Ye Fan didn't know what dangers he would encounter in the future, and wearing such a soft hedgehog armor close to his body could prevent accidents and accidental sneak attacks.

Subsequently. Ye Fan bought some sundries in the shops on the street, such as healing pills, in case of emergency.

In the evening.

Ye Fan was on the busy streets, after purchasing what he needed, and finally strolled to Cao Mansion in Donglai City, where he was invited to make an appointment.

Inside the city of Donglai. The Cao family is one of the few top clans, with many clansmen. In the round of power, Cao Fu is at least in the top three in Donglai County.

This Cao Mansion naturally occupies a huge area, occupying dozens of acres of land in the luxury blocks of the city, and there are countless attics in the courtyards of the Cao Mansion.

The luxury of Cao's mansion is unimaginable, the courtyard is luxurious and extravagant, and the atmosphere in the mansion is myriad.

The gate of Cao's Mansion alone is comparable to the grandeur and majesty of a Luyang Mansion.

In front of the Cao Mansion stood a row of more than ten doormen, all of whom were also masters at the peak of the Martial Arts Realm. Even the two Wuzun were the leaders of these guards in the early days.

Ye Fan raised his eyes and sighed slightly.

At the beginning, he cultivated hard in the Luyang Mansion and reached the peak of the ninth layer of the martial arts stage, which was enough to become a first-class figure in the Luyang Mansion and was in the spotlight.

But in this Donglai County City, the pinnacle of the martial arts realm is just the members of this wealthy family, which is not worth mentioning.

Even if it looks like a high-ranking martial artist. If the qualifications are mediocre, the future is average. can only become the head of a wealthy family, just to earn so many yuan stones every month.

"It's worthy of Cao Mansion! There are two leaders of the Wuzun family standing guard at the gate alone, and other places are only afraid of more Wuzun. ”

Ye Fan thought in his heart and handed over the invitation.

Immediately, a housekeeper who had been waiting for a long time appeared and took him to the Cao family's inner mansion.

Ye Fan walked through the luxurious courtyards of the Cao Mansion, and was secretly shocked by the size of the Cao Mansion.

The former mansion is the residence of the ordinary clansmen of the Cao clan and the children and subordinates of the side branches.

For a moment. They finally came to the inner house of Caofu, one of the elegant courtyards. This courtyard is not big, but it is the daily residence of Cao Hao, the head of the Cao family.

As he walked, the housekeeper of the Inner Mansion introduced Ye Fan to the courtyards along the way.

In this small courtyard, only the core children of the Cao family are allowed to enter and exit freely. Others. Even ordinary disciples of the Cao clan and side branches of the Cao clan must be allowed to enter.

Today's Cao family banquet is small in scale, and only a few descendants will attend.

Ye Fan followed the housekeeper of the inner mansion to the courtyard and arrived at a pavilion near the small lake of the rockery in the courtyard. A small bamboo forest next to the pavilion is swaying, and the breeze is very refreshing.

There is a long table in the pavilion, which can accommodate less than ten people.

I saw that Dean Cao Hao was sitting on the main seat, and a beautiful woman and a beautiful girl were sitting on the right seat. On the rest of the seats, there were five or six middle-aged and young men and women of the Cao family, and everyone was drinking and laughing.

However, Dean Cao's left chief had a vacant position.

"Ye Fan is here! Come, sit here!"

Cao Hao couldn't help laughing when he saw Ye Fan coming, and pointed to the chief position on his left.

"The student has seen the dean!"

Ye Fan bowed his hand to Cao Hao, and when he saw the beautiful woman's kind eyebrows, he thought in his heart that since this was a family banquet, it should be Dean Cao's wife, "I've seen Mrs. Cao!"

As for the others, I don't know what their identity is.

Dean Cao looks like a middle-aged man, but he is actually over a hundred years old, and his children and grandchildren are already full. They may be Dean Cao's sons, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren, and they can't guess it, so they don't be polite.

Ye Fan smiled and nodded at them, and then sat down.

The faces of the young people in Cao Mansion changed, and they were suddenly a little unhappy.

For any Donglai clan, banquet arrangement is a very important thing. Even if it's just a family dinner, it's no exception.

In this Cao Mansion family banquet, an outsider actually sat in the front of them all over, and Mrs. Cao sat on the left and right chiefs respectively. Could it be that these descendants of the Cao family are not as good as an outsider?

Moreover, Ye Fan was only a mere Martial Venerable in the early stage, and his cultivation was lower than all of them. Is it necessary to have such respect for a guest of such a prestige!?

"Dad, is he the important guest you invited tonight?! The child has a sentence that is not unhappy, my Cao Mansion is a dignified family in Donglai County, not a small person in the market! Even if it's just a family banquet, it's orderly. If Princess Jiaojiao comes, I have nothing to say. Even if Li Hao is at the table today, he will be behind the child. ”

A middle-aged man from the Cao family put down his chopsticks and said.

"Grandpa! That's it! He is a nobody, why is he listed in the left chief? Spread out, what is the face of our Cao family!"

The rest of the young people shouted dissatisfied. (To be continued.) )
