For more than a day, Xu Chen and the others went out early and returned late. They spent the whole day wandering around several trading places where monks gathered inside and outside the capital.
Lin Qiuya also took the opportunity of inviting a guide to go in and out with the three of them, as if they had become close friends, and the relationship seemed very close.
Of course, in the past two days, the news that the Taiyuan Sect was rich and powerful, trading and acquiring all kinds of heavenly materials and earthly treasures, had slowly spread among the monks, and there was also a young, beautiful and enchanting fairy like Lin Qiuya accompanying him.
It also made many young monks who came to celebrate their birthdays envious and jealous, and looked for various excuses to get close to the four of them. The purpose was just to communicate more with Lin Qiuya, and it would be best to have a kiss.
However, Lin Qiuya's lukewarm treatment of these monks made many people more and more dissatisfied with Xu Chen and Ninth Senior Brother, and secretly wanted to find an opportunity to have a discussion.
Naturally, the Ninth Senior Brother was not afraid of this kind of provocation. After several battles, he won more and lost less. Although both sides were bruised and swollen, many civilian cultivators also saw the tyranny of the Taiyuan Sect. From the beginning to the end, the Ninth Senior Brother was the leader of the Great Yuan Sect.
The pills will dry up when held in the mouth, and sometimes a fight will become stalemate, and he will take two or three Great Yuan Pills in succession. Even a monk in the Kaiyuan realm of Dzogchen can be dragged down by him until his vitality is exhausted.
Such a frenzied fighting method quickly made everyone daunted.
The nickname "Kedan Monk" soon spread throughout the capital, causing many fellow Immortal Sects to look at Taiyuan Sect with admiration.
And secretly, there was another news that shocked everyone. That was that the great elder of Taiyuan Sect, Dan Chenzi, was about to transform into a spirit. Taiyuan Sect was about to be promoted from a run-down small to medium-sized celestial sect to a large celestial sect. This also attracted a lot of attention.
Many female nuns who came to celebrate their birthday looked at Ninth Senior Brother and Xu Chen frequently.
Brother Ninth had previously planned to hook up with Su Ping'er, a female fairy from the Zhengyang Clan, but because of the Blood God Grass incident, he temporarily gave up the idea. However, he didn't want to think about it anymore, but several monks from the Zhengyang Clan actually came to his door.
It turned out to be Su Ping'er, who expressed the hope that he could have tea and discuss Taoism with his fellow disciples from the Taiyuan Sect when he had time.
So Brother Ninth was very confused.
Let's hook up, I really don't have the energy right now, I need to be careful to deal with the Ziyang Sect masters hiding in the dark.
Say no. If you miss this village, you won’t have this store.
Although Su Ping'er is much different from Lin Qiuya in appearance and figure, her cultivation level is much higher. Her whole body is full of vitality and has reached the stage of imminent breakthrough. She only needs one Heqi Pill to step into the True Yuan realm in one step, and she will become a Zhuge Liang from then on.
Ji Zhenren.
In fact, the Ninth Senior Brother did not expect to meet Su Ping'er in the capital, because Zhengyangmen only arrived in the capital half a day before the emperor's birthday, and this was only the second time the two met.
It has been three years since the last time.
The last time they met, Su Ping'er had a very bad impression of Ninth Senior Brother.
Because at that time, the Taiyuan Sect was really poor and poor, and the Ninth Senior Brother had just come down from the mountain and started training not long ago. On weekdays, even a small Yuan Dan would be used.
But the so-called "three days apart" should make people look at each other with new eyes.
Unexpectedly, when I first arrived in the capital this time, I heard that all the fellow Taoists were talking about the demeanor of this alchemy monk from the Taiyuan Sect, and every one of them was heartbroken when they talked about it.
Even in the past two days, the royal family, with the support of Yuqing Palace, released a batch of Dayuan Dan to recruit monks to fight against the Ziyang Sect, but in the end it was heard that there were only dozens of bottles, and no one who got these pills dared to waste them easily.
, after all, he still has to face a life-and-death battle with the Ziyang Sect.
Therefore, all the escaped elixirs were tightly covered by all the monks, for fear that others would know about them.
However, the high-profile way of Taiyuan Sect, which relies on the use of magic pills to fight against other monks, makes everyone's heart bleed, but there is nothing they can do about it.
The strength of Zhengyang Sect is similar to that of Taiyuan Sect. Although there are more monks under the sect, the leader with the highest level of cultivation has just reached the middle and late stage of Danyuan Realm and is far behind Dan Chenzi.
Because they are both poor, they don't think highly of each other.
But as the saying goes, people go to higher places and water flows to lower places.
A young female cultivator like Su Ping'er with good appearance, figure, qualifications, and cultivation will naturally turn her attention to larger immortal sects. It is best to find suitable Taoist companions in the Yuqing Palace or the Longmen Sect.
However, this kind of wishful thinking is not easy to realize.
The bloody script of a folk girl hoping to marry into a rich family is also bloody in the fairy world.
Female disciples with qualifications like Su Ping'er are indeed quite good in ordinary immortal sects, but compared with large-scale immortal sects like Yuqing Palace, they have no advantage. Even if they work hard to climb up to Yuqing Palace or
In Longmen Mountain, in the end, they just became Taoist companions with those disciples with relatively ordinary qualifications, and ended up wasting their lives without getting much benefit.
Nowadays, the Taiyuan Sect suddenly emerges and shines brightly on the 100th birthday of the Emperor of the Song Dynasty. This also allows a young female cultivator of Su Ping'er's status to find another target.
The Ninth Senior Brother is only an ordinary disciple of the Taiyuan Sect, but he can be so arrogant. If he becomes a Taoist couple, there will definitely be a sufficient supply of elixirs in the future. In addition, with the great monks of the Spirit Transformation Realm sitting in charge, the glory of the Taiyuan Sect can be expected in the future.
.
Maybe in just over ten years, the Taiyuan Sect will be able to compete with Longmen Mountain, and I can also use the resources of the Taiyuan Sect to break through the pill formation, and even succeed in transforming into a spirit one day.
All the monks in the Immortal Sect of the Song Dynasty dare not have any higher aspirations, and transforming into a spirit is their greatest ideal.
And the great monks in the Spiritual Transformation Realm almost have a thousand-year lifespan, and they are free enough to be called gods.
…
As the birthday gets closer, more and more Xianmen monks arrive in the capital, and the capital becomes more and more lively.
The relatively conservative disciples of the Immortal Sect and the casual cultivators of the family who arrived in the capital a few days ago gradually relaxed their minds. They actually flew in the sky with their swords in the capital, and even occasionally showed off a few immortal arts, releasing colorful lights and shadows.
This will cause the people in the city to cheer and shout one after another, and the atmosphere of the emperor's birthday will gradually be aroused to a climax.
One day passed by in the blink of an eye, and the 100th birthday of the Emperor of the Song Dynasty arrived as scheduled.
The huge square of the palace was decorated with lights and colorful decorations, and a red carpet was spread on the 100-foot-long bluestone avenue from the reception platform built in the center to the front door of the Welcome Hall.
The birthday banquet has been prepared for a long time, and the envoys and princes and ministers from various countries have all taken their seats and are waiting. All the disciples of the Immortal Sect and the loose cultivators of the family who came to celebrate the birthday are also sitting on the side of the reception platform.
However, everyone is still waiting, because the people from Yuqing Palace, the largest sect in the Immortal Realm of Song Dynasty, who are in charge, have not yet arrived.
"Damn, Yuqing Palace is so big, why do you want us to wait here for so long?"
Guo Ming, the representative of Longmen Mountain, was very angry and his voice was very loud. Almost all the monks could hear it clearly. Even Emperor Zhao Rui, who was waiting on the Immortal Platform, felt his scalp numb and could only pray to the Yuqing Palace in his heart.
Don't let your pigeons fly, otherwise today's birthday banquet will probably turn into a funeral.
Originally, for some large-scale birthday banquets, various immortal sects and private cultivator families would also come to celebrate birthdays, but they usually arrived early so that the court could make proper arrangements and not miss the time.
But this time, for some unknown reason, the people from Yuqing Palace have not arrived yet.
In addition, as a disciple of Yuqing Palace, he must put the gifts from Yuqing Palace on display first, so as to show respect.
Of course, other immortal sects also default to this arrangement.
Mortal emperors look down on them, but since they are here, they still have to give them enough face. Everyone still understands this point of human nature. Even if there is a little carelessness during the birthday celebration, they will not care too much.
After all, monks are a very casual breed and don't care too much about these mundane and cumbersome etiquette.
But now nearly half an hour has passed since the auspicious birthday banquet, but the people from Yuqing Palace have not arrived yet.
Therefore, it was no longer the second master of Longmen Mountain who was unhappy, but other immortal sects and even some casual cultivators began to feel unhappy. Many people cursed and began to greet the eighteenth generation female ancestor of Yuqing Palace.
It was the first time for Xu Chen to participate in such a high-end party. He was not dissatisfied. He even found it very novel. While eating fruits and snacks, he teased the little fox and occasionally chatted and laughed with Ninth Senior Brother, Zhao Xuan and Lin Qiuya.
sentence.
Just when the noise became louder and louder, Xu Chen's blue jade beads suddenly flashed in the sea of consciousness between his eyebrows. He subconsciously raised his head and looked northwest, and saw a colorful stream of light coming through the sky, entering the capital in the blink of an eye.
Then, as soon as the glow faded, it turned out to be a colorful giant bird several feet long, with its wings spread more than ten feet, hanging steadily above the Immortal Receiving Platform.
Immediately, a terrifying aura fell from the sky, covering the entire palace.
All the monks who were complaining suddenly fell silent, as if a bucket of ice water had been poured on their heads.
The whole front of the welcome hall was silent for an instant.
Emperor Zhao Rui, wearing a bright yellow Taoist uniform with the logo of the outer disciples of Yuqing Hall, led a group of royal family members to fly into the sky to greet him.
The visitors are a delegation from Yuqing Palace congratulating them on their birthday.
There were four people in total, all standing on the back of the big bird.
The leader is a middle-aged monk with a rich and handsome appearance and a strong aura. He is wearing a black slim-fitting robe and carrying a sword box on his back.
"Outer disciple Zhao Rui has met the Seventh Elder!"
Zhao Rui quickly stepped forward and saluted with his hands in hand, his attitude so respectful that no one could tell that he was the emperor of the Song Dynasty.
The middle-aged monk nodded slightly and said: "No formalities, this time it's your 100th birthday. I'm here specially to congratulate you on behalf of Shanmen. Ordinary etiquette is waived. Let's go down!"
As he spoke, the man got off the back of the giant bird step by step, and then he took a few steps step by step like going down a mountain. In a blink of an eye, he crossed the reception platform and landed directly on the steps in front of the welcome hall.
Behind him, three young monks, two men and one woman, also followed him down from the air. Their graceful appearance attracted warm applause from the surrounding envoys and princes and ministers.
Although they are all immortals, it is obvious that the appearance of Yuqingdian is the real immortal style.
As for the other immortal disciples and casual cultivators who came in advance, they were completely lackluster in comparison.
However, no one in the group of monks dared to be disrespectful at this time, or even say a word of complaint.
