Guang Yuanzi’s Nascent Soul Banquet was held as scheduled.
Over Guangyuan Island, figures were flying towards the island quickly.
Most of the monks who came here were golden elixir stage monks and brought their younger disciples along with them.
Firstly, it is to introduce the younger generation of disciples to the world, and secondly, it is also to warn the younger generation of disciples that the current Guangyuan Island is one of the forces that must not be provoked in the Yaoyuan Water Realm.
"Friend Daoist Yan!"
High in the sky.
The head of the Yan family, Yan Chenghai, heard someone calling from behind and quickly stopped.
When he saw who was coming, Yan Chenghai's face suddenly burst into smiles.
"Fellow Taoist Mica!"
The person who stopped him was none other than Lady Yunmu, who had always been friends with Guang Yuanzi.
The Yan family is the same as the Yunmu Empress. They are the family that established a cooperative relationship with Guang Yuanzi soon after he first came to Yao Yuanshui.
Nowadays, as Guang Yuanzi's strength and status are rising, the Yan family's status in Qinglian Island in Yaoyuan Water Realm is also rising.
Yan Chenghai looked at Empress Yunmu and the three golden elixir monks beside her, and quickly raised his hands and saluted: "You fellow Taoists are also attending the banquet of the Nascent Soul of Senior Guangyuan, right?"
Hearing this, everyone nodded.
One of the late Jindan monks said with a complex expression: "Who is here today who is not participating in the celebration of the Nascent Soul of Senior Guangyuan."
Yan Chenghai heard the sour taste in the other party's tone and didn't know how to answer the question for a while.
Seeing this, Lady Yunmu quickly smoothed things over and said, "In that case, why don't fellow Taoist Yan go together with us?"
"It's what you wish for."
Yan Chenghai smiled and nodded.
In the past, with his cultivation and strength, he would not be qualified to stand alongside the others beside Lady Yunmu.
Although everyone is a golden elixir monk, Yan Chenghai is only in the early golden elixir stage and is the weakest group among the golden elixir monks.
And these monks in front of me, even the weakest Lady Yunmu, are real late-stage Jindan monks.
Even if Yan Chenghai wanted to move forward, he couldn't squeeze into the circle of people.
But as Guang Yuanzi was promoted to a Nascent Soul Stage monk, Yan Chenghai could clearly feel that his status in the circle of Yao Yuan Shui Realm Golden Pill monks was also rising.
moment.
Everyone's escaping light landed in the Lingxiao Palace on Guangyuan Island.
In front of the main hall of Lingxiao Palace.
Rows of maids held trays with drinks, spiritual fruits, and dishes on them.
These maids shuttled neatly among the palaces, serving delicacies to the monks who came to celebrate.
On the high platform of the first immortal hall, a Taoist boy wearing a green gown was singing loudly to celebrate the gifts given by the monks who came to celebrate.
"The Yan family of Qinglian Island presents a bottle of the third-level high-quality elixir. I wish Senior Guangyuan to enjoy eternal blessings and live as long as the heavens!"
"The Mica Empress of Bishui Island presented you with a third-grade top-grade material. I wish Senior Guangyuan good luck and eternal prosperity!"
"Blue Jade Island"
After giving the gifts, go through the gate of the front hall.
Everyone completely entered the Lingxiao Palace.
Lingxiao Palace is a palace complex built vigorously by paper puppets in the new city, covering a very vast area.
In terms of area, Lingxiao Palace is larger than the city of Xincheng.
However, there are very few monks living here on weekdays. There are only Guang Yuanzi, Mu Qingyan and the teachers and students studying alchemy on the island.
But today.
Lingxiao Palace became more lively than ever before.
Golden elixir monks, who are rarely seen in Yaoyuanshui realm, appeared in large numbers in Lingxiao Palace at this moment.
In addition to the Golden Core Stage monks, there are even more Foundation Establishment Stage monks.
On the contrary, they are the largest number of monks in the Qi training period, which are rare in Lingxiao Palace.
It seems that for disciples in the Qi training stage, the major forces in the Yao Yuanshui Realm would not want to bring such an occasion.
Go through the front hall door.
Among the crowd, a late-stage Jindan monk wearing a blue robe frowned and said, "Why are there so many paper puppets in Guangyuan Island?"
Hear this.
Mica Nianglian also discovered this problem.
Along the way, these maids holding trays were not human monks, but paper puppets.
If it is a private occasion, there is nothing wrong with using puppets to entertain guests.
It's just that it's Guang Yuanzi's Nascent Soul Banquet, and using puppets to entertain guests will inevitably seem a bit neglectful.
Of course, this is Guangyuan Island, and they cannot comment on how Guangyuan Island behaves.
Sudden.
Several more escaping lights fell in the sky.
Lady Yunmu looked towards the escaping light, her eyes slightly condensed.
Not only her, but several late-stage Jindan monks who were traveling with her also saw the person coming.
"Is that Shen Yuxian of Luanyin Sect?"
"Um."
Lady Yunmu nodded solemnly.
Luanyin Sect is another large sect close to Lanzhou, and Shen Yuxian's status in Luanyin Sect is just like Taoist Changqing's status in Xianxia Sect.
"I heard that last time Senior Guangyuan sold spiritual cores, Luanyin Sect purchased several of them. With Shen Yuxian's status in Luanyin Sect, I think it won't be long before Luanyin Sect will have one more Nascent Soul Stage monk."
When Lady Yunmu on the side heard this, her eyes suddenly revealed a look of uncontrollable envy.
She and Shen Yuxian were both late-stage Jindan cultivators, but their treatment was very different.
As a casual cultivator, Lady Yunmu can only rely on herself to manage her power.
Although she knew that Guang Yuanzi had spiritual cores in his hands and was selling them publicly, she suffered from insufficient treasure exchange and missed the spiritual core again.
And what about Shen Yuxian?
There was no need to do anything, the sect had already prepared the spiritual core for her.
Just when Lady Yunmu was feeling emotional.
Another flying boat quickly flew towards Lingxiao Palace.
Looking at the flag on this flying boat, it is clearly a monk from Lingbao Mountain.
After several years of war with the Holy Blood Cult, Lingbaoshan's strength was greatly reduced.
Then, thanks to the opening of trade with Lanzhou, a little bit of vitality was gradually restored.
"People from Lingbaoshan are here too?"
“I didn’t expect that Senior Guangyuan has such a wide range of contacts!”
Everyone secretly thought.
As the flying boat landed in Lingbao Mountain, a mid-stage Jindan monk put the flying boat away.
Then, a middle-aged monk wearing a light golden robe quickly came forward and said with a smile: "Brother Wu!"
When the monk surnamed Wu saw Master Mo Yun, his face was immediately filled with a smile and he said: "Brother Mo Yun, you are well."
"Haha, please!"
Master Mo Yun's face was glowing red at this moment.
After he escaped from Shangyang County, he was seriously injured and thought he would perish in the Yaoyuan Water Realm.
Who knows, but by chance, he became a disciple of Guang Yuanzi.
When he first became a disciple of Guang Yuanzi, Master Mo Yun still felt a little aggrieved. After all, his cultivation level was the same as Guang Yuanzi's, in the middle stage of the Golden Elixir.
But with the rise of Guang Yuanzi, the grievances in his heart have long since disappeared.
As a casual cultivator in the golden elixir stage who has practiced for hundreds of years, Master Mo Yun knows very well the principle of leaning against a big tree to enjoy the shade.
And Guang Yuanzi is the biggest tree he can find!
Even though all the major sects in Daqian will recruit Keqing elders, when something happens, who will care about the life and death of Keqing elders?
When Master Mo Yun's Qingshui Fang City was attacked by the Holy Blood Cult, did Lingbaoshan ever take care of him?
Because the relationship between the elder Keqing and the sect is like this.
It is impossible for the sect to trust an outside high-level monk, and high-level casual cultivators will not devote their lives to the sect.
However, in states under the rule of sects, most high-level casual cultivators will give face to the sects in each state and become guest elders of the sect in order to comply with the sect's rule.
But in fact, the title of the guest elder has no binding force on either the sect or the casual cultivators. It is just a title.
This is also the reason why Master Mo Yun fled to the Yaoyuan Water Realm and became a disciple of Guang Yuanzi, but there was no response from Lingbao Mountain.
If an elder from the Lingbaoshan Sect were to worship an outsider, the other party would never react like this.
Followed by one after another golden elixir stage monks came to escape the light.
Suddenly, a heavy oppressive force emerged in everyone's hearts.
Nascent Soul monk!
"Haha, Junior Brother Guangyuan!"
A long laugh came from the sky, and immediately after, a monk wearing purple robes flew towards Lingxiao Palace. Who else could it be if it wasn't Wang Xuanjian?
Seeing Wang Xuanjian's arrival, Guang Yuanzi immediately drove up to meet him.
"Senior Brother Wang!"
"Junior Brother Guangyuan, Senior Brother Yu asked me to send you a message to apologize. He is about to make a breakthrough. I can't come to your Nascent Soul Banquet this time. Junior Brother, please don't blame me."
"Senior Brother Yu is about to break through?"
Guang Yuanzi's eyes lit up, he cupped his hands and said, "Congratulations."
"Haha, junior brother, let's go and congratulate him in person another day."
"Senior Brother Wang, let's go!"
"Walk!"
After that, the two of them flew towards the main hall together.
Not long after Wang Xuanjian arrived.
A chorus of chorus suddenly sounded, but this chorus made the entire Lingxiao Palace Dojo fall into silence.
"Daqian stargazer Ji Mingchang and the Daqian eldest princess present a bottle of fourth-level middle-grade spiritual elixir, and wish fellow Taoist Guangyuan a long and prosperous journey to immortality!"
"Daganji's family!"
"What are they doing in Lanzhou?"
"I didn't expect that senior Guangyuan still has contact with the Ji family."
"."
For a time, there was a lot of discussion in Lingxiao Palace.
In the main hall.
Guang Yuanzi and Wang Xuanjian had just sat down when they heard the chorus in the front hall.
When the two heard about Ji Mingchang's visit, they had different expressions.
Guang Yuanzi had known for a long time that the Ji family would attend his Nascent Soul banquet, but he did not expect that the Ji family would send a middle-stage Nascent Soul monk to congratulate him.
Generally speaking.
The Nascent Soul Banquet held by newly promoted Nascent Soul monks is rarely attended by monks with higher levels of cultivation.
Because monks in the middle or even later stages of Nascent Soul often steal the limelight from their hosts when they participate in the Nascent Soul banquet held by new Nascent Soul monks.
The Nascent Soul Banquet held when a monk breaks through the Nascent Soul stage is often the most glorious moment in a monk's life.
If it is not necessary, very few monks of the same level would do such a thing.
Although Guang Yuanzi didn't care about this, the fact that the Ji family sent a mid-stage Nascent Soul monk to attend his Nascent Soul banquet could be seen as a sign of attention or a threat.
After all, Guang Yuanzi had no contact with the Ji family before.
Inside the main hall.
Wang Xuanjian put down his wine glass and sneered: "This Daqian Xingzhi Master is so majestic!"
Lanzhou is the territory ruled by the Xianxia Sect. The Ji family sent a monk in the middle stage of Yuanying to Yaoyuanshui Realm, but he did not visit the Xianxia Sect in advance, but went directly to Guangyuan Island.
In Wang Xuanjian's view, this is a provocation!
Guang Yuanzi on the side muttered: "Senior Brother Wang, how about we pay homage to this Master of Stars with our junior brother?"
Hearing this, Wang Xuanjian nodded and said: "Junior brother, please!"
next moment.
Two rays of light came towards Ji Changming.
But when Guang Yuanzi saw the figure behind Ji Changming, his originally smiling face immediately darkened.
Situ Xiong!
At this moment, Situ Xiong was standing behind the opponent just like Ji Chang ordered him to be his subordinate, as if he was obeying Ji Chang's order.
It is hard to imagine what kind of conditions Ji Changming gave that actually made the rebellious Situ Xiong seek refuge with the Ji family.
Wang Xuanjian saw Situ Xiong standing behind Ji Changming. Although his face was very ugly, he didn't say much.
Not only did Guang Yuanzi have a grudge against Situ Xiong, he also had a grudge against Situ Xiong.
When Wang Xuanjian held the Nascent Soul Banquet, Situ Xiong made a big fuss at his Nascent Soul Banquet and did not give him any face as a Nascent Soul cultivator.
It's just that Situ Xiong's strength and influence are not trivial in the Yao Yuanshui Realm, so Wang Xuanjian tolerated his bad breath at that time.
Now, Situ Xiong, the Ke Qing elder, actually betrayed the Xianxia Sect in public. If Wang Xuanjian didn't respond again, he would be ashamed of his status as an elder of the Xianxia Sect!
"Situ Xiong, what do you mean?"
Wang Xuanjian said with a livid face.
"Fellow Daoist Wang,"
After Ji Mingchang was behind him, Situ Xiong cupped his hands and said, "I forgot to tell you that this tower will be enshrined in the Daqian Star Observation Tower from now on."
Immediately, Situ Xiong took out a jade plate in public, which was the identity plate symbolizing the identity of the elder of the Xianxia Sect.
"As for the position of elder of the Xianxia Sect's Guest Minister, please forgive me that it is difficult for me to hold the position again."
Say it.
Situ Xiong casually threw the jade token in front of Wang Xianjian.
Looking at the jade plaque suspended in front of him, Wang Xuanjian said with a livid face: "Okay! Okay! Okay! Situ Xiong, you are very good!"
Facing Wang Xuanjian's threat, Situ Xiong looked calm.
On the side, Ji Mingchang said with a smile: "Why is Fellow Daoist Wang so angry? Fellow Daoist Situ is a casual cultivator, and casual cultivators can come and go freely wherever I go, right?"
Hearing this, Wang Xuanjian's face was livid, he cupped his hands towards Ji Mingchang and said: "Master Xingming is right."
Ji Mingchang smiled and said nothing more.
Immediately, he turned to look at Guang Yuanzi and said, "This must be fellow Taoist Guangyuan who was praised highly by the leader of the Holy Soul, right?"
Guang Yuanzi cupped his hands and said expressionlessly: "Fellow Daoist Ji, you're welcome."
Ji Changming was not angry when Guang Yuanzi called him by his surname instead of his official title.
Guang Yuanzi was not the only monk in Da Qian who had no court, so he had long been used to it.
Relatively speaking, the disciples of various sects in Daqian still recognized the Daqian court, at least openly.
It is only verbally acknowledged, but it is also true that each sect dominates the states and has never bought into the imperial court.
"As far as I know, fellow Taoist Guangyuan is also a casual cultivator?"
Hearing this, Guang Yuanzi nodded.
"Dayuan is eyeing me, Da Gan, and the court wants to recruit talented people to fight against Dayuan. I wonder if fellow Taoist Guangyuan would be willing to help me, Da Gan?"
In front of Wang Xuanjian, Ji Chang ordered to poach people directly.
"sure!"
Guang Yuanzi nodded.
Upon hearing this, Wang Xuanjian's face changed and he showed an expression of disbelief.
"But I have a condition."
"Fellow Taoist Guangyuan just said so."
Ji Mingchang smiled.
Guang Yuanzi stretched out his finger, pointed at Situ Xiong, and sneered: "I have always had a grudge against this person. I wonder if Daoist Ji would be willing to hand this person over to me?"
Hearing this, the smile on Ji Mingchang's face gradually disappeared.
