Although his wife's words looked extremely sincere, Zhong Yan had doubts in his heart.

After all, what woman would want more than one person to compete with her for favor?

Moreover, Jiang Ping is a mortal, if she comes to someone with spiritual roots, not to mention being suppressed, she herself will feel inferior, this is the status quo of society, an indisputable fact.

If she is insincere and superficially pandering, Zhong Yan would prefer the latter than to point out bluntly in her heart.

However, in the next few days, after the double cultivation, the system bonus rate did not fluctuate, and Zhong Yan was sure that his wife was still wholeheartedly devoted to him, and what he said was from the bottom of his heart.

This made him value Jiang Ping a little more.

In a blink of an eye, it is the night of the Lantern Festival.

Qinghu Villa, located in the position of 30 miles outside the west gate of Qingyang City, covers an area of thousands of acres, there are mountains and rivers, the scenery is pleasant, belongs to Yang Yanqing, the highest monk in Qingyang City.

Zhong Yan only learned about this place when he came to Qingyang City this time, and it was obviously only built in recent years.

"Immortal Master, please inside!"

Zhong Yan followed the maid all the way to the back garden, where the open field was towering with lanterns, and the lights were as bright as day.

Attics, gazebos, promenades, ponds, rockeries, flower beds...... There are also small bamboo forests, you name it.

The open-air feast was placed everywhere, and the monks were chatting and laughing.

"Immortal master, please, there are no rules for the party."

"There is labor."

Zhong Yan took a glass of wine from the tray brought by another maid next to him and walked over.

Taking a sip, he looked down at the wine in the cup, and was quite surprised, it was the same as the spirit wine he bought in the Fang Market, five spirit stones were only two small altars.

After such a party, the cost is not small.

According to Li Henian, the monks who participated in the meeting did not have to pay any fees.

"Arrogant!"

Zhong Yan raised his head and finished drinking, walked to the table, picked up the wine jug and poured another glass.

"Zhong Daoyou!"

A call came, Zhong Yan turned his head and raised his glass to signal, "Feng Daoyou!" ”

The person named Feng Hai, who practiced qi on the fourth level of cultivation, also lived in Wutong Lane, stepped forward and joked: "Zhong Daoyou married a beautiful wife, lingered all day long, you and I live on the same street, I can't see each other for a few months, and the result is enviable, come, today borrow flowers to offer Buddha, congratulations to Daoyou for entering the middle stage, and go one step further from the avenue!" ”

Zhong Yan smiled and clinked glasses, "Thank you, encourage fellow Daoists." ”

Among the monks, but there is a breakthrough, and meeting people is a vain greeting of 'one step closer to the avenue', trying to be auspicious and expectant, but in fact, it is clear that more than 100 scattered cultivators in the entire Qingyang City may not be able to build a foundation.

After drinking a few cups, Zhong Yan asked about the origin of the gathering, and learned that the 'Lantern Festival Gathering' had been held for many years, bringing together monks in the city to exchange cultivation experiences and connect feelings.

Resources can also be exchanged, but there is also a special trade fair in June for medium-sized ones, and the scattered repairs of surrounding market towns and villages will also come over, and there will be more resource exchanges.

The organizer is naturally Yang Yanqing, the owner of the Qinghu Garden, and several monks participated, and his friend Li Henian was one of them.

Among them, Feng Hai didn't know much about them.

After some conversation, the two separated and looked for their own places.

"Zhang Daoyou!"

"Li Daoyou!"

"Zhao Daoyou!"

Zhong Yan said hello, talked and listened to many monks, and quickly integrated into it, and found that the meeting was indeed good.

Even if you don't do anything on a trip, you can get a lot of big and small news in a circle.

For example, a fifth-level Qi cultivator in the city was intercepted and killed on his way back to the city a few days ago.

For another example, there was a great opportunity to get a purple jade black lotus in the early stage of qi refining, and sold it to Huoyun Pavilion for 80,000 medium-grade spirit stones, and became an exception to become an inner disciple of Huoyun Sect.

For another example, the Wei State next door has a Qi refining cultivator with a longevity of nearly one yuan, and his father is expensive by his son, and he was forced to help build a foundation by the sect where his son is located, and his life span is extended.

……

After walking for more than two hours, Zhong Yan gained a lot.

Communicating with a first-order high-grade talisman master solved many talisman confusions in my mind, and made the talisman experience in the system panel jump up by five points.

"It's worth the trip!"

Zhong Yan sighed in his heart, groaned a little, walked again, found a few monks in the early stage of qi refining, and exchanged thirty talismans on the grounds that he was shy and urgently needed cultivation resources in the middle stage of his breakthrough.

As for his identity as a talisman master, all the monks were surprised, and they just knew.

Obviously, Li Henian did not reveal this matter, but he spread the news that he had broken through the fourth layer of qi refining, so as to elevate his status among the monks in the city.

Li Henian has a strict mouth and acts sleekly and sophisticated, which is also one of the reasons why Zhong Yan is willing to have a deep friendship with him for a long time.

Walking to a pavilion, there were more than a dozen monks around, talking about the Xiuxian family in Wangqian City.

Zhong Yan stepped forward, thinking that he was talking about the Liu family, but after listening carefully, it was a new immortal cultivation family, the Fang family, which was made public on the day of the Lantern Festival today.

"I really didn't expect it, it was silent, and it just got up!"

"Relying on the Fire Cloud Sect, the Fang family is going to soar into the sky this time."

"That's it, a second-order spiritual vein, the Zhuji family is enough."

"I think back then, that Fang Huai also drank wine with me, and now he has become an ancestor, with the support of the Huoyun Sect, there is no suspense in building the foundation, hey~"

"Who let us not have that life, we can't find the spiritual root Daoist."

"If you find it, it will be difficult to give birth to an heir with spiritual roots."

“……”

Zhong Yan listened quietly, and couldn't help but call out the panel to look at it, a little moved, according to the current trend, even if there is a system, it is quite slim to build a foundation.

The time passed.

Yang Yanqing and his Taoist companions appeared, laughing and chatting with the monks as the master's family.

Even in the early stage of Qi refining, he did not have the slightest strong attitude, and he was very kind and enthusiastic.

Zhong Yan was recommended by Li Henian and had a relationship with the husband and wife, and he thought it was Li Henian's relationship, so he was polite.

Seeing this time, he couldn't help but look around the venue and have some associations in his heart.

The meeting did not end until the hour.

Zhong Yan waited until Li Henian left together.

I didn't talk much about it on the way.

After entering the city and returning home, they sat down in the study, and the two exchanged information and told each other the news.

"Yang Daoyou is generous, do you know how many spirit stones will be spent on this party?"

"At least that's the number!"

Li Henian stretched out his hand and gestured, and said in detail: "The Lantern Festival gathering is a tradition in Qingyang City, and I already had it before I came.

Three years ago, Yang Yanqing built the Qinghu Villa, and the party was changed there, and the entrance fee was waived, and he made up a small part with Bai Daoyou, counting the handling fee of the mid-year fair, a little bit of money, but this year, he covered it all. ”

As he spoke, Li Henian showed a meaningful smile, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Brother Xian, listen to it this time, can you make some famous names?" ”

Zhong Yan's eyes flashed, confirming the guess in his heart, and he asked suspiciously: "Create a family?" Found the vein? Or which one do you rely on? The Yang family doesn't seem to have this background, right? ”
