Chapter 142: Battle at the Celebration

The sky is clear and cloudless.

On this day, Yuquan Peak, where the Yuquan Zhou family is located, ushered in the busiest day in more than two hundred years.

The foundation-building celebration and the celebration for promotion to the third-level weapon refiner, Zhou Yang, the current patriarch of the Zhou family, officially begin today.

According to the celebration etiquette, the first thing to do is to present gifts from all the guests.

There are also rules for giving gifts. Only those who have received the invitation are eligible to give the gift. Those who heard the news and came to eat and drink, or who did not receive the invitation because they did not have a close relationship with the Zhou family, are

There is no need to give gifts. Even if gifts are given, no one will sing.

As the most important guests of this celebration, the Chen family was naturally the first to come up to present gifts.

The person who came to attend this celebration on behalf of the Chen family was also a new foundation-building monk of the Chen family. This person was of the same generation as Chen Fangping. His name was Chen Fangli, and he was almost twenty or thirty years older than Zhou Yang.

"The Chen family of Baituoling presented a congratulatory gift, a third-level middle-grade elixir [Three Yang Barrier-Breaking Pill]."

The Chen family is indeed the Chen family. When Chen Fangli handed the gift to Zhou Xuanbin, who served as the master of ceremonies, on behalf of the Chen family, Zhou Xuanbin, who sang Nai, was also shocked by the gift, and his voice when singing Nai was a little trembling.

Today's protagonist, Zhou Yang, even narrowed his eyes. He couldn't help but look at the old patriarch Zhou Minghan on the side, and both saw a hint of shock in the other's eyes.

The recipe for the "Three Yang Barrier-Breaking Pill" was what he had originally exchanged with the Chen family ancestor. Unexpectedly, just a few years later, the Chen family ancestor had collected enough materials to refine the finished pill, and he would also

One of them was given to him as a gift.

"Old Ancestor Chen has shown great kindness. Zhou and the Zhou family are deeply grateful. Please invite fellow Taoists from the Chen family to take a seat!"

Zhou Yang suppressed the shock in his heart, quickly stood up, bowed his hands to Chen Fangli, thanked him, and invited him to sit next to him as the chief.

With the Chen family in front of them, the congratulatory gifts at the back seemed a bit inadequate.

"The Liu family of Chixia Mountain presented a congratulatory gift, a 200-year-old elixir [Di Fuling]."

"The Yang family of Jinquan Valley presents a congratulatory gift, a piece of third-level spiritual object [Flame Jade]."

"The Sun family of Qinglang Mountain presents a congratulatory gift, a third-level spiritual object [Red Mysterious Gold Essence]."



Zhou Xuanbin kept singing "Nai", and every time a gift was presented, he would use the "amplification technique" to sing "Nai" loudly to announce to the whole audience.

At this time, the number of immortal cultivators gathered on Yuquan Peak has exceeded 500. Although most of them are casual cultivators who come to eat and drink, there are also many heads of small families who come with important members of the family.

Come to broaden your horizons and see if you can build some relationships with the Zhou family.

After all, after the decline of the Liu family in Chixia Mountain, the Zhou family has become a big family second only to the Yang family in Jinquan Valley in terms of strength. In the eyes of some high-level monks who know the inside story, the Zhou family's strength and potential have exceeded

to the Yang family.

The congratulatory gifts that Zhou Xuanbin said may not be anything in the eyes of the foundation-building monks who have seen many treasures, but in the eyes of the Qi-training monks, each one is a "heavy treasure" that is enough to arouse their amazement.

After hearing the exclamations of these people, the Zhou family's Qi-training monks all showed proud and proud expressions on their faces.

The Zhou family monks and the Zhou family are both prosperous and devastated. Although Zhou Yang is accepting congratulations from outsiders at this moment, in the hearts of these Zhou family monks, they also share in this glory.

This is indeed the case.

If it were not for the efforts of those elders of the Zhou family, Zhou Yang today would probably still be working hard to raise spiritual stones to buy foundation-building pills. How could he stand on a high platform and accept the congratulations of monks from all over the world?

Now looking at the famous Foundation-Building monks representing their families, sending congratulatory gifts to the Zhou family and Zhou Yang, the younger members of the Zhou family may just be watching the fun and being curious.

But in the eyes of people like Zhou Xuantai and Zhou Xuanbin, their hard work was recognized and rewarded. One can imagine how excited they felt at this time.

Female monks like Lin Yuting, Zhou Xuanyan, Zhou Yuanchun, Zhou Yuanzhen and other female monks looked at this scene and couldn't help but shed tears of excitement and joy in their eyes.

The Zhou family is really powerful. They have personally witnessed the Zhou family's transformation from decline to prosperity, and have contributed their own efforts to this end. This kind of personal participation, personal experience, and personal enjoyment makes them more susceptible to

touch.

And in Zhou Minghan's cave at the top of Yuquan Peak, Zhou Xuanyu, who was hiding here and hiding his aura through formations, was also looking at the lively scene at the bottom of the mountain with tears streaming down his face.

She felt sincerely happy for the prosperity of the Zhou family, but also felt extremely uncomfortable that she could not attend such a grand event.

If she had not converted to magic skills, today she would have stood under the high platform with other brothers and sisters of the same race and shared this honor with Zhou Yang.

She looked at the bustling scene down the mountain with tears streaming down her face, and a firm look gradually appeared in her eyes.

"Although I can't share this glory, I can protect this glory!"

"I, Zhou Xuanyu, was born as a member of the Zhou family, and died as a ghost of the Zhou family!"

The celebration still continues.

There are more than thirty families and individuals who sent congratulatory gifts to Zhou Yang this time, nearly twice as many as Zhou Xuanhao’s foundation celebration, and the quality of the gifts is not at the same level.

Of course.

Zhou Xuanhao had just established his foundation at that time, and other families could send people to congratulate him because of the Zhou family's face, so how could they be willing to send heavy gifts.

But Zhou Yang is different. Not to mention that after various activities over the years, Zhou Yang has become well-known among the foundation-building monks in the nearby immortal world.

Just saying that he was promoted to the third-level weapon refiner along with the Foundation Establishment Celebration this time is worthy of the kindness of many cultivating families and casual cultivators.

If Zhou Xuanhao could be promoted to a third-level alchemist in the future, he would probably be able to enjoy the treatment Zhou Yang received today.

However, he is now physically injured and can no longer support him in refining the third-level elixir. When Zhou Yang can find the elixir to cure his injury, he will be able to take a step forward in alchemy.

Finally, Zhou Xuanbin finished singing and was preparing for the next activity. Chen Fangli, a monk from the Chen family who was sitting above the chief, suddenly stood up and looked at Zhou Yang and said loudly:

"Fellow Taoist Zhou Yang, I have heard for a long time that fellow Taoist Zhou Yang has supernatural powers. Although he has just established the foundation for more than ten years, he has already killed several monks of the same level. Even demon cultivators in the middle stage of foundation building have been killed by you. I wonder if I can do it today.

Show your magical power and let me open my eyes?"

Um?

Zhou Yang frowned, his face darkened, and he looked at Chen Fangli with a cold gaze.

If you say something like this in public at this time, is this guy here to congratulate you, or is he here to cause trouble?

Not only Zhou Yang, but also Zhou Minghan, Zhou Xuanhao and other Zhou family monks all looked at Chen Fangli with unhappy expressions, extremely disgusted with this man's words.

But contrary to the Zhou family, when the unrelated guests heard Chen Fangli's words, they all became energetic and looked at Zhou Yang on the stage with bright eyes, wanting to see how he would deal with this matter.

Originally, during the Foundation Establishment Ceremony, it was a normal thing, and it could also be said to be a tradition, for the newly minted Foundation Establishment monks to show off their skills and use some of the methods that only Foundation Establishment monks can use.

Although those methods may seem ordinary and childish in the eyes of other foundation-building stage monks, it is still not a problem to use them to frighten and fool those Qi-training stage monks who have never seen much of the world.

But what Chen Fangli just said was obviously more than just asking Zhou Yang to show off his skills.

Both the inner and outer meanings of his words revealed a kind of suspicion, suspecting that Zhou Yang's record was not worthy of the name, and it was full of provocation. He even pointed at Zhou Yang's nose and said, "I want to challenge you."

Faced with this provocation, how should Zhou Yang respond?

Anyone who knows the situation knows that it is difficult to deal with it.

If Zhou Yang agreed to Chen Fangli's provocation and sparred with him in public, even if he won, it would be a loss of face for the Chen family, and Chen Fangli would be offended to death.

If we fail, then today's celebration will be reduced to an eternal joke.

But if Zhou Yang did not agree to Chen Fangli's provocation, wouldn't it be equivalent to acquiescing to Chen Fangli's words that "the name is not worthy of the name"?

Therefore, it is really difficult for Zhou Yang to deal with what Chen Fangli said. If he does not handle it properly, it will be a huge blow to his reputation and that of the Zhou family.

Therefore, after Zhou Yang was silent for hundreds of breaths after Chen Fangli asked, he looked at the other party with a gloomy face and asked: "Did Fellow Taoist Chen ask you to repeat these words?

Your own thoughts?”

Hearing his words, Chen Fangli's face was startled, and a trace of panic and anger flashed in his eyes.

Of course, the ancestor of the Chen family would not let him relay such words, otherwise he would not give a treasure like the "Three Yang Barrier-Breaking Pill" as a gift.

So of course this was his own idea, an idea he came up with out of envy and jealousy after learning that the Chen family used the "Three Yang Barrier Breaking Pill" as a gift.

You must know that as a child of the Chen family, after he succeeded in building the foundation, due to the special environment of the demonic invasion at that time, the family only gave him a small celebration internally.

The gift given to him by the ancestor of the Chen family at that time was even just a third-level middle-grade spiritual talisman. It was completely incomparable to the gift given to Zhou Yang today. How could he not be jealous when he didn't know the inside story?

At this time, Zhou Yang suddenly revealed the evil feeling in his heart with one word. How could he not panic or be angry?

After all, he was also a successful monk in foundation building. Although he was flustered and angry in his heart, he could still remain calm on his face as he looked at Zhou Yang and replied loudly: "What does Zhou Yang mean by this? Is there something wrong with Chen's words? Or is it?

You think Chen is no longer qualified to ask questions?"

Zhou Yang had been paying attention to the changes in Chen Fangli's expression, and when he heard his somewhat harsh answer, he suddenly understood that this matter was all done by Chen Fangli and had nothing to do with the Chen family.

Therefore, his expression immediately softened, he looked at Chen Fangli with a smile and said, "Fellow Daoist Chen is right, there are huge problems in your words!"

After finishing speaking, he did not wait for Chen Fangli to ask what was the problem, and directly said loudly: "Let all the fellow Taoists who came to attend Zhou's celebration laugh. Zhou is not talented. It has only been more than ten years since he established the foundation. Fellow Taoist Chen Fangli

The words "supernatural power" are really too embarrassing to deserve!"

"But fortunately, by chance, Zhou did follow some seniors to eliminate demons and defend the Tao, and killed several foundation-building demon demons who rebelled against immortals and became demons. In this matter, several seniors of Huang Shamen

, as well as Patriarch Chen and Senior Chen, they are all insiders!"

After saying this, Zhou Yang did not look at the changes in the faces of the monks who had heard about this for the first time. He looked directly at Chen Fangli with sharp eyes and said, "Is Zhou's answer satisfactory to fellow Taoist Chen?"
