"It's been a tiring journey, and my lady wants to host a banquet for the young master tonight, and I would like to ask him to show his respect."
In front of outsiders, Lu Zhu looked completely knowledgeable and sensible, and invited him with a slight bow.
"I've been eating and sleeping in the open air all this way, but I've suffered a lot from Luo Mou's Five Zang Temple. If your lady wants to invite me to a banquet, she has to prepare some good wine and food. You can't fool Luo Mou with snacks!"
Luo Hong turned over and jumped off the cart. After stretching his muscles, he leaned over and said to the little maid.
Huh! Greedy devil, those snacks are made from spiritual grains and spiritual fruits. The lady is usually reluctant to eat them, but you are still not satisfied.
Lu Zhu thought bitterly in her heart, but she still maintained a smile on her face and responded in a warm voice:
"Miss Luo sincerely invites you, and you will definitely not disappoint Mr. Luo."
"Well, then let me tell Miss Gong for Luo that Luo will attend the banquet on time tonight."
After Luo Hong accepted the invitation, he walked out of the inn. It was his first time in Dajin and he was preparing to take a stroll.
After making a face at Luo Hong's back, Lu Zhu walked back to life with two short legs.
After wandering around the city for a long time, Luo Hong discovered that the mortals in the Jin Dynasty had completely different attitudes towards immortal cultivators.
Luo Hong still remembered that when he was still in the Qi refining stage, he met a small village in Wushan, and the villagers there worshiped him as a fairy.
In this Xiangcheng city, even if a mortal saw a low-level monk flying past the house, he would only look up and show no special expression.
Obviously, these mortals are already accustomed to the existence of immortal cultivators.
When passing by the official residence, Luo Hong also sensed the auras of two monks in the Qi Refining Stage, presumably from those who were making offerings.
However, it is worth mentioning that although Luo Hong has sensed no fewer than twenty auras of immortal cultivators in the city so far, all of them are cultivators in the Qi Refining Stage, and not even a foundation-building cultivator has been seen.
It can be seen from this that in a resource-poor place like Liaozhou, having a large number of immortal cultivators is not a good thing.
An hour later, as the sun set, Luo Hong turned around and headed to a restaurant in the city that exclusively served immortal cultivators.
As soon as he arrived in front of the door, Luo Hong noticed two auras locking on him.
After a little investigation quietly, he found that the other party was two demon cultivators at the eighth or ninth level of Qi Refining.
At this time, there were only two immortal cultivators in the restaurant, Master and Servant Gong Xuehua, so it was easy to know that these two demon cultivators in the Qi Refining Period must be related to the troubles of the Gong family.
Hehe, it's interesting. The devil's path has always been unprofitable, so there must be quite a lot of secrets behind this matter.
With this in mind, Luo Hong pretended not to know and stepped into the restaurant, and was led upstairs by the waiter who greeted him.
After Luo Hong's figure disappeared, two shadows suddenly twisted in a two-story building near the restaurant, and two figures soon emerged.
"This person should be the helping hand brought back by the target. With a cultivation level of tenth level of Qi refining, it is not easy to deal with!"
The speaker was a tall man with a fierce face. He had his hands folded in front of his chest and his right index finger kept tapping his arm.
It's just that his ten fingers have all been refined with the magic secret method, and they have long since lost their normal shape, and have turned into sharp black claws like ghost hands.
So every time he tapped it, a piece of his own flesh and blood would be scraped off, but he seemed to feel no pain and didn't even care, and no blood flowed out of the wound on his arm.
"It's just a level of cultivation, and the opponent is just a barbarian from the grassland. How can he be your opponent?
Besides, for this assassination operation, the Lord Protector also lent us a top-notch magical weapon. Under a sneak attack, this person will definitely not be able to resist."
A short and thin man wearing a black robe, whose face could not be seen clearly, looked in the direction of the restaurant, sneered and said disdainfully.
"Hmph! Since you are so sure, why not take action first later?"
The tall man snorted, somewhat dissatisfied.
"No problem. Since senior brother wants to give in, junior brother will naturally share his worries."
When the short and thin man heard this, instead of getting angry, he happily agreed.
This could not help but make the tall man frown. You must know that although the other party's cultivation is one level lower than him, his relationship with the sect is much stronger than his.
And now that this guy is so dedicated to this task, he must have received some rumors.
Maybe I should be more active and not let the other party take all the credit!
While their thoughts were wandering, the two of them discussed a sneak attack plan and prepared to assassinate Gong Xuehua and the others the moment they stepped out of the restaurant door after having enough wine and food.
As a result, the two figures turned into shadows again, "swimmed" out from the second-story building, and lurked on both sides of the restaurant's door.
At this time, in the private room on the third floor of the restaurant, Gong Xuehua was politely asking Luo Hong to take a seat.
Glancing at the delicacies on the table, Luo Hong chuckled, raised his glass and said:
"Thank you for Miss Gong's hospitality today. If you have any difficulties, please come directly."
"This... Why do Mr. Luo pretend to be ignorant? The affairs of our five major families in Liaozhou have spread to several nearby states in recent years.
Didn’t Mr. Luo come here specifically for this?”
Gong Xuehua didn't expect that Luo Hong would say something that surprised her as soon as he came up, and she was suddenly filled with doubts.
"I think Miss Gong has misunderstood. Luo has no special background. He is just a casual cultivator in the mountains. He was lucky enough to have some opportunities to achieve his current level of cultivation.
If you want to build the foundation, you must have the foundation building pill to help. I happened to meet Miss Gong who seemed to be in trouble, so I shamelessly approached her and wanted to hug the Gong family."
Luo Hong said while eating, as if he had never seen the world of immortality.
"I see, I thought Mr. Luo was sent by the other two families.
In that case, Mr. Luo wants to obtain the Foundation Building Pill from the Gong family."
Gong Xuehua breathed a sigh of relief, but did not completely let down his guard.
"The Foundation Establishment Pill is just one of them. Luo also hopes to join the Gong family and be taught your family secrets.
After all, as a casual cultivator, what Luo had learned in the past was too one-sided, and he urgently needed to fully understand the world of immortality.
Therefore, it would be best if Luo could be allowed to browse the family heirlooms of the Gong family."
Luo Hong seemed to make the last condition casually, but it was actually what he really wanted.
Through the family heirlooms and classics of the Gong family, he can understand the general situation of the world of immortality in the Jin Dynasty as quickly as possible, which will facilitate his future actions.
"As long as Mr. Luo can help my Gong family tide over the difficulties, a foundation-building pill is not a problem.
But if the secret method is passed down from family, I can only teach you one.
As for the rest, Mr. Luo still needs to discuss it with my father, I can't guarantee anything now."
When he heard that the other party's request did not involve him, the smile on Gong Xuehua's face couldn't help but grow wider.
