Jade Capital City, Zhaixing Tower, Zhaixing Tower is the most luxurious restaurant under the name of Chunyang Palace. It is nine floors high. Each floor covers an area of tens of thousands of square meters. Each floor is extremely luxurious. It can entertain tens of thousands of guests at a time. Pure
Whenever there is a big banquet for guests in the Yang Palace, it will definitely be held at the Zhaixing Tower.
Even people from the Jade City would be proud to report in the Star-Zhaing Tower whenever they have important events to entertain guests. Many married women hope that their husband's family can rent out the first floor of the Star-Zhaing Tower as a place for banquets, and use this as a place to entertain guests.
proud.
The ancestor of Chunyang Palace celebrated his birthday, so he naturally used the entire Star Picking Tower. There were different guests on the nine floors. The ninth floor has the best view, overlooking half of the Jade Capital City. The one who can climb this floor is definitely Chunyang
Guests of the palace.
Lin Xiao followed Wang Dao and others and was entertained on the eighth floor. The distinguished guests on the ninth floor were basically people from diplomatic missions from various countries. They all came on behalf of the overlord sects of various countries, and their weight was much heavier than Lin Xiao and the others.
However, Dao Gang monks like Wang Dao often have extensive exchanges, so they will also go for a walk, and catch up with friends before the banquet begins.
Lin Xiao and others were chatting and building relationships with the Zifu monks from various states. Wang Dao had taken them on a tour before, and many of them had already met each other.
"One hundred thousand miles, with Lu State as the center and radiating around one hundred thousand miles, there are eight countries in total. Now the other seven countries have sent envoys. This is the limit of Lu State's influence."
Wang Dao and others were very sensible and came down when the banquet was about to begin. Lin Xiao and others also sat down, and Wang Dao quietly said to everyone.
The country that sent the envoy was the country that had a good relationship with Lu State and had regular contact with it. This was also the limit of Lu State's influence, which was almost a hundred thousand miles away.
This result made Wang Dao feel sour. This was the influence of the great sect. Danyang Sect had been the overlord of Tianyun State for two to three hundred years, but compared with Chunyang Palace, it was far behind.
"Didn't I say that Chunyang Palace will show its strength? Has it started?"
"It will start soon. It's an old tradition. In a moment, all the disciples with status in Chunyang Palace will go to the ninth floor to pay their birthdays. They will walk from the first floor to the ninth floor. Just watch."
Wang Dao smiled and nodded. Influence is part of their strength, but there is something more intuitive, that is, the direct disciples of Chunyang Palace and the representatives of their vassal forces are all old traditions.
Sure enough, less than a quarter of an hour later, before the official birthday banquet, the disciples from Chunyang Palace appeared, starting from the first floor and slowly walking towards the ninth floor. When they met familiar people on the road, they would bow their hands in greeting, which was very ostentatious.
"Because that person is the nephew of ancestor Lu Yan, a Daogang monk from the Lu family. The other one is Mu Dezong, whom Head Lin has met. The next one is the monk from Zifu. You can see for yourself. Chunyang Palace has the least number of people tonight.
90% of the time, except for a few necessary defenses, it’s all down to you, take a closer look.”
Wang Dao would mention something from time to time, and Lin Xiao would look at it carefully. The first one was the nephew of Patriarch Lu Yan, a monk on the eighth level of Daogang, and then Mu Dezong.
After Mu Dezong came the Zifu monks. It was rumored that there were fifty Zifus in Chunyang Palace, but currently, there are more than fifty-one people here. Among them, there are three people on the twelfth floor of Zifu, ten
There are eight on the eleventh floor, most on the fifth to tenth floors, more than thirty people.
There are dozens of pulse-condensing monks after Zi Mansion. The fact that these pulse-condensing monks can personally congratulate Lingguang Patriarch on his birthday shows that they are unusual. They are either extremely talented people or mostly second-generation and third-generation practitioners.
"None of these pulse condensing monks are over twenty years old, but their cultivation level is at least the fifth or sixth level of pulse condensing, which is enough to show how extraordinary these people's talents are. The future of these people will never stop at pulse condensing.
The background of Chunyang Palace is really terrifying."
"Yes, it may not take thirty years before Chunyang Palace will have many more Zifus. We, the sects of the prefectures and counties, cannot even unify one prefecture."
"The people from the six major families who come up are still led by the Lu family. Look, there are two more Daogang families. Although the Lu family is a vassal family of Chunyang Palace, as long as Patriarch Lu is still there, they will be the ones who belong to Chunyang Palace.
What’s the difference?”
"Three of the six major families have two Dao Gang monks, which adds up to nine. No wonder the land of the three states is comparable to the rest of Lu State combined."
"There are also Zifu monks from six major families, and each family has at least ten people, tsk tsk tsk"
"I'm afraid fellow Taoists don't know yet. Chunyang Palace does not recruit Keqing elders, but the six major families have them. Among the Keqing elders recruited by each family, there are also five or six monks from the Zifu. You can count those controlled by Chunyang Palace.
How many monks are there in Zifu?"
The guests on the eighth floor were talking about the strength of Chunyang Palace without any care. The people in Chunyang Palace didn't care at all, and were even happy to do so. What they wanted was this effect, so that the states and counties of Lu State and the clans of nearby countries could
I want to know the strength of Chunyang Palace and consider whether to have any conflict with Lu Guosheng.
"Under the command of Chunyang Palace, there are at least two hundred Zifus"
Everyone in Tianyun Prefecture also took a deep breath. Tianyun Prefecture's strength has skyrocketed in recent years. The number of monks in the Zifu has reached more than 20 people. They thought they were already very powerful. They even thought they could covet the throne of Lu Guo in one or two hundred years.
, but looking at it now, if I really did that, I would die without knowing how.
The next moment, everyone in Tianyun Prefecture looked at each other as did everyone in Qingshan County across the way. The murderous intent in each other's eyes could not be suppressed. Everyone was a person of status, and their mentality was very different from that of the lower-level monks. They were all used to controlling the life and death of others.
Instead of letting others control your life and death.
The stronger Chunyang Palace appears, the heavier the mountain above everyone's head feels. This makes everyone uncomfortable. If you want to get rid of being controlled by others, you have to be strong. How to be strong? Naturally, you have to kill the other party. From the other party's
It absorbs nutrients from the corpse and strengthens itself.
"Restrain, don't be treated like a standout"
"Don't worry, senior, we are not children anymore."
"It's good to know. I'll speed up my strength improvement after I go back."
"At the same time, we must also prevent the other party from growing stronger and continue to increase the acquisition of Kaifu Dan materials to disrupt the market. Let's see how they play."
"There's no need for it anymore, the recipe for Kaifu Dan has been spread out."
"What do you mean, Senior Wang, are there no restrictions on how you can find people to make alchemy?"
Lin Xiao exclaimed, according to the rules of the world of immortality, if you ask an alchemist to make an elixir, you need to confirm whether he has the elixir recipe. If you need to provide it yourself, the person asking for the elixir will often make restrictive requirements, such as asking the alchemist not to spread this.
Alchemy prescription, of course, after making this request, the cost of alchemy will be doubled.
"That's not the case. Remember the last time Bishui Pavilion framed you. Bishui Pavilion almost took advantage of Mu Dezong. Do you think Daogang monks are so easy to bully? Mu Dezong almost attacked Bishui Pavilion and finally accompanied a group of people.
A large amount of money, including the Kaifu Pill prescription that has been targeted by Chunyang Palace for a long time. With Chunyang Palace taking action, the price of Kaifu Pill materials will skyrocket in the future."
"That's it, you deserve it, you shot yourself in the foot."
Lin Xiao suddenly laughed. Bishui Pavilion really deserved it. He originally wanted to design a plan to get rid of the Tiansheng Sect, but unexpectedly he offended the Mu De Sect. Not only did he not achieve his goal, but he was cut off from a large amount of benefits, especially Kai
Fudan, that is the strategic elixir of Bishui Pavilion. Now Chunyang Palace also has the elixir formula. Who can match the financial resources of Chunyang Palace? It is normal for the price to skyrocket.
It took half an hour for Chunyang Palace to show off its power. Half an hour later, those disciples finished celebrating their birthdays and were then assigned to the nine floors of the Zhaixing Building to entertain everyone as the host. Lin Xiao also came to the table.
The monk on the tenth floor of the Zi Mansion is also a disciple of the Lu family.
For such a distinguished disciple, Wang Dao did not dare to touch him. Instead, he kept a very low profile, chatting with him happily and toasting him frequently.
In this kind of situation, Lin Xiao was unusually low-key. The Tiansheng Sect was too weak and there was no benefit in being remembered by these big forces. It was better to keep a low profile, so he kept his head down and ate the food.
To be honest, the food in Zhaixinglou is very good, all of them are spiritual meals, and except for a few first-level ingredients, they are basically all at the second-level level. The food on this table would cost thousands of Xuanjing.
.
This is also the reason why sects from various states do not bring pulse-condensing monks, because pulse-condensing monks cannot be eaten at all. It is estimated that the profound energy will boil after a few mouthfuls. Stop and meditate to refine the profound energy in the body. In that case, it is really too much.
Shameful.
Fortunately, it had only been a few years since Tiansheng Sect emerged in Tianyun State. Chunyang Palace didn’t know about this small sect yet, so it didn’t pay much attention to Lin Xiao. However, Tianhai Sect and Hongshan Sect knew about it. These two sects had recently
Ten years passed very quickly, and the number of monks in the Zi Mansion increased a lot, enough to attract the attention of Chunyang Palace.
After eating and drinking, the birthday banquet lasted from noon to evening, and everyone slowly dispersed. There was a more important auction in the evening, and everyone had to go back to refine their wine strength and profound energy, so as not to be embarrassed at night.
"Tonight's auction is a once-in-a-decade event in the Lu Kingdom. It is also the easiest place to make enemies. If you are competing for a certain item, you'd better see who the competitor is. Money is the only thing that matters at the auction.
That's right, but after the auction, it's about seeing who is stronger. We are not casual cultivators, we all have families and foundations. If we harm some big forces because of this, it will be more than worth the gain."
Before leaving, Wang Dao also told Lin Xiao and others to be careful. The auction was fair and they could bid as much as they wanted if they had the money. However, if they offended a big force and left the auction, that would not be the case.
Of course, casual cultivators are free to do whatever they want. At worst, they can hide somewhere else, pat their butts and leave, and no one can do anything about it. But they are different. They have a sect and a solid foundation. Freedom is the biggest advantage of casual cultivators.
Lin Xiao and others naturally know that the game in the world of immortality is very subtle, and people are also very subtle. Some people are small-minded, and some people have eccentric personalities, which may offend others, so they must be careful and don't
I don’t even know who I offended, and I don’t even know how I will die in the future.
Who told this to be the Lu State? If they were in other countries, they wouldn't have this worry. After the auction, they would just pat their butts and leave. Who could do anything to them?
