The Lord of Tang City obviously put a lot of effort into this banquet. In addition to his own chef who has been passed down from generation to generation, he also specially invited several famous chefs from other cities.
The ingredients used were all kinds of delicacies from the mountains and seas, and Gu Qingxi even saw the precious ingredient Snow Spirit Pig on the table.
Such cooking skills and ingredients were even tasted by Elder Qiu, Xie Fuzhi and others for the first time, and they were full of praise during the dinner.
Of course, while enjoying the delicious food, they did not forget to thank Gu Qingxi again, and the whole banquet was a happy one for both the guests and the host.
"Master Gu, your coming to Fenglan City this time is an honor for my Tang family, and also an honor for thousands of people in the city.
I have prepared a small gift, but I hope you won’t find it objectionable.” When the banquet was about to end, City Lord Tang said happily to Gu Qingxi with a hint of drunkenness.
Gu Qingxi became famous after fighting in Fenglan City, and he also benefited from it.
I believe that as Gu Qingxi's fame gradually spreads, Fenglan City's reputation will surely grow even higher.
And this good relationship with Gu Qingxi can at least ensure the peace of his Tang family for thousands of years. If the Tang family is in trouble one day, he can rely on this good relationship to keep the blood flowing, and maybe he can get her help to make a comeback.
With that said, he took out an invitation and handed it over.
"City Lord Tang, what is this?" Gu Qingxi thought he was going to give her natural treasures, magical weapons, or sword skills, but she didn't expect it was an invitation, and she couldn't help but be curious.
"This is an invitation from the Luo family in Luohe City." City Lord Tang explained, "The Luo family was originally one of the seven great families in the Lingjingtian, but it began to decline thousands of years ago, and it is now difficult to continue.
I heard that the Luo family is preparing to leave Lingjingtian, and there may be some properties that need to be disposed of, so we specially held an auction and invited me to attend."
"Has the Luo family fallen to this level? Why didn't we hear the news?" Xie Fuzhi and others said in surprise.
"The Luo family was so prosperous back then, but now that it has fallen into this state, there is no shame in making publicity, so we only invited some family friends and old friends for this auction." City Lord Tang replied.
After saying that, he said to Gu Qingxi, "Although the Luo family is in decline, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse, so some of the ancestral treasures should still be good.
They are in a hurry to leave Lingjingtian, and there are not many people invited to the auction. No matter how good the ancestral treasure is, it is unlikely to fetch a good price.
My ancestor of the Tang family has a close relationship with the ancestor of the Luo family, so I am embarrassed to take advantage of this. You and the Luo family are strangers, but you don't have to worry about anything."
"Thank you City Lord Tang, but I will be disrespectful." Gu Qingxi accepted the invitation generously and threw it into the storage bracelet.
City Lord Tang was right. She and the Luo family had never met each other before. Even if she went to the auction to pick up some bargains, it would not be considered as adding insult to injury, let alone any psychological burden.
But she extremely doubted that a family that was so downtrodden that it was difficult to even gain a foothold in the spiritual realm had any decent bargains to offer, and was it worth wasting her time?
According to her original plan, since the Shendan Pavilion was in trouble, it was time to go to the Eternal Desolate Abyss to try to find Zhuo Moying.
Luohe City and Eternal Wasteland were in opposite directions, and she didn't want to delay her business because of a meaningless auction.
"I heard that the Luo family still has some divine pills left, and they will sell them at this auction." City Master Tang could tell at a glance that Gu Qingxi was just casually dealing with it, and did not take the Luo family's auction seriously at all. He hesitated and said.
"What, Shinto Pill!"
"The Luo family actually has Shinto pills, how is this possible!" Everyone at the table looked shocked.
"The fourth generation of the Luo family once had a genius named Luo Lingfeng, who was selected by the temple to become a priest. Have you heard about this?
As far as I know, those Shinto pills were given by the shrine back then." City Lord Tang said.
"I remember that was thousands of years ago, right? How come the Shinto elixir given by the shrine at that time has been preserved until now? Has it not been used by the Luo family for thousands of years?" Mentioning the shrine again, Elder Qiu and others'
His expression was a little weird, but he still asked puzzledly.
"What's so strange about this? The Shinto Pill is so precious, who would be willing to use it on mediocre people?
Since the time of Luo Lingfeng, the Luo family has become worse than the previous generation, so the Luo family's divine elixirs have never been put to use and have been passed down from generation to generation accidentally," said City Lord Tang.
"That's true. The descendants of the Luo family are a bit less talented. It would be too wasteful to use the Shen Dao Pill on them." Everyone felt relieved and nodded in unison.
"What is the Shinto Pill?" Gu Qingxi became more and more confused as she listened and couldn't help but ask.
Only then did everyone remember that Master Gu was a casual cultivator and had focused on cultivation since he was a child. He was so skilled in some aspects that even Sun Dansheng could only be inferior to him, but his common sense in some aspects was pitiful.
"The Shinto Pill is a spiritual pill unique to the Shrine. It is of great benefit to cultivation. Not only can it greatly improve your cultivation, but it is not limited by your cultivation.
What's more important is that the Shinto Pill can be used multiple times and has the same effect every time. Unlike the Mahayana Barrier-Breaking Pill, which is a spiritual pill used to improve one's cultivation, it can only be taken once in a lifetime, and there will be no benefit after taking it the second time." Tang
The city lord explained.
"Isn't this the same as spiritual marrow?" Hearing this, Su Lingshuang curled her lips and said disapprovingly.
After she finished speaking, she realized that everyone was looking at her strangely, as if they were looking at a mentally retarded child.
Gu Qingxi, on the other hand, looked shocked. Yes, she was indeed shocked.
On the surface, it seems that the purpose of the Shinto Pill is indeed the same as that of the Spiritual Essence, which is to improve one's cultivation level. They are not restricted by one's cultivation level and can be used multiple times.
But don't forget that spiritual marrow is born from heaven and earth, so it is extremely rare. In her three lifetimes, she has found less than thirty spiritual marrows in total.
But Shinto elixirs are different. As long as there are enough medicinal materials and corresponding elixir techniques, they can be refined endlessly.
It seems that the Divine Palace has been able to dominate the Tianyuan Continent for nearly ten thousand years. In addition to the so-called kindness that was intentional, the Shinto Pill also played an important role.
"How many Shinto pills have the palace produced in total over the years?" Gu Qingxi asked trying to calm down.
City Lord Tang and others did not rush to answer. They totaled it in a low voice and replied, "There should be two to three thousand."
Gu Qingxi breathed a sigh of relief.
Although so far, she still can't figure out what the palace is planning, one thing is that there is no doubt that everything the palace does is not without purpose, and there must be a huge conspiracy hidden behind it.
Once the conspiracy succeeds, not only Yuanzhen Continent and Tiancang Continent, but also Tianyuan Continent will be severely harmed or even destroyed.
If she wants to crush the conspiracy of the Divine Palace, it is difficult for her to do it alone. It requires the concerted efforts of many powerful people in Tianyuan Continent.
