"What? Lun Yin Dharma Assembly?" Chen Xiao repeated in astonishment.

Du Rong was obviously a little excited. He nodded repeatedly, "Yes, it is the Lunyin Dharma Assembly held by the Island Master's Mansion every ten years! Patriarch, those who can be invited to participate in the Dharma Assembly are all representatives of wealthy immortal cultivation families and well-known practitioners! This is a rare opportunity, Patriarch, you must seize it."

Chen Xiao was a little confused by Du Rong's rapid-fire words. He took the invitation and looked at it carefully, while raising his hand to ask Du Rong to calm down.

The invitation was written simply and clearly, formally inviting Chen Xiao to go to the Island Master's Mansion on the 28th of next month to attend the seven-day Lunyin Dharma Assembly. At the bottom, it was signed in the name of Shi Fengdu, and it was written quite solemnly that he was waiting for his arrival.

The paper used for the invitation is bright red with dots of gold. In fact, if you look closely, the gold dots are small runes. This is a very valuable special paper with spiritual patterns. It can prevent tampering with the content, is impervious to water and fire, and is indestructible by swords. It is a hundred times more piracy-proof than lasers.

Chen Xiao was secretly shocked.

He had exchanged a batch of paper at the City Lord's Mansion in Hanshan City, and knew that this kind of paper was very expensive. Because it was too expensive, he only exchanged a square foot that time for a sample.

The fact that the island owner's mansion can use such paper for invitations shows how wealthy it is.

After they entered the study, Chen Xiao asked, "What type of ceremony is the Lunyin Dharma Assembly?"

It’s no wonder that Chen Xiao asked this question.

When talking about the Dharma Assembly, the first thing that came to Chen Xiao's mind was the Dharma Instrument Consecration Ceremony held in his previous life. There was no way, this had become a professional habit.

Because of the attacks during the special period, the instruments were not only severely damaged, but the craftsmanship was almost lost, which made it more difficult for Feng Shui masters to find suitable instruments.

In order to accumulate some suitable magical instruments in their own hands, Feng Shui masters often ask Taoist temples with which they have good relations to invite Taoist masters or eminent monks to perform large-scale collective consecration ceremonies.

There are only a few monks and Taoists who are capable and willing to help, and the number of instruments that can be consecrated in each ceremony is limited. There are too many monks and too little porridge, so if one gets a spot, the other can only watch. Therefore, Feng Shui masters pay close attention to the ceremonies of these masters, and if they have the conditions, they will travel thousands of miles to take part in them.

Therefore, when mentioning Dharma assemblies, Chen Xiao would reflexively think of the consecration ceremony, and only then would he think of whether it was a preaching or sermon.

Du Rong knew that Chen Xiao had only been practicing Taoism for a short time and lacked some knowledge. He was not surprised and patiently explained: "The Lunyin Dharma Assembly is a traditional Dharma Assembly of the Island Master's Mansion, which has been held for hundreds of years." After a pause, he asked Chen Xiao if he knew that Shi Fengdu was a zither practitioner. Chen Xiao nodded, and he continued: "The Lunyin Dharma Assembly is a grand event for practitioners who mainly practice music to appreciate, discuss, and exchange ideas in the same dojo."

Chen Xiao showed a look of realization, and Du Rong became even more excited.

He said, "Each type of practice has a famous event like this. There are Taoists, Buddhists, and martial artists. In addition to being classified by main practice, there are also ceremonies classified by main duties. For example, there are ceremonies for refining equipment, refining pills, jade talismans, talisman formations, etc. There are many more types."

He paused for a moment, waiting for Chen Xiao to digest the content, and then continued, "The Lunyin Dharma Assembly hosted by the Island Lord's Mansion is mainly about music appreciation. There will be several powerful music cultivators with profound cultivation coming from various realms. At the Dharma Assembly, they will perform, show their latest insights, and exchange experiences with other fellow practitioners."

Chen Xiao said in confusion: "Since this is a Dharma Assembly for the Sound Cultivators, and Shi Fengdu invited me to go, what can I do? Besides, I don't know how to behave."

Every inch has its own strengths and weaknesses. Chen Xiao has been focusing on learning Feng Shui since he was young, and the private tutor Fang Gu hired for him did not include a music teacher.

So when it comes to music, it can be said that Chen Xiao is good at nine out of ten things and has nothing else to show for it.

Du Rong smiled and said, "The Patriarch doesn't know that there are many people invited, not just the music practitioners. You went there as a spectator." He changed the subject and said, "Participating in this kind of Dharma Assembly is a shortcut to fame. Think about it, the practitioners are usually scattered all over the world, and they are either busy practicing or busy with training. The world of Heaven is so big, how can one quickly spread his fame from one place to the whole Heaven? It depends on this Dharma Assembly."

Chen Xiao was thoughtful after hearing this.

The ways of communication in the world of Heaven are limited. Due to the limitation of technology and channels, unless it is a particularly sensational event, many news are often delayed. Even because of the limitation, an event that is very famous in one place will not cause any waves in the next area and will be drowned out.

Holding a Dharma Assembly is like holding a martial arts conference in the martial arts world. It will not only cause a sensation, but also attract a lot of attention in a short period of time. After the event, the participants will return to their hometowns and naturally spread the latest news among their relatives and friends. Those who perform well at the event and leave a deep impression will naturally become famous.

Du Rong said meaningfully: "It doesn't matter if the head of the family is not a sound cultivator. As long as we seize this opportunity and leave a good impression on the people participating in the Dharma Assembly, we will naturally achieve the goal of becoming famous."

His implicit suggestion immediately made Chen Xiao realize that he wanted him to make friends with the powerful people present at the meeting through Shi Fengdu's introduction.

But in Chen Xiao's opinion, asking Shi Fengdu to introduce him could only expand his network of contacts, which was not the most ideal result. Since this Dharma Assembly was a rare opportunity, it would be best if he could become famous for Feng Shui.

Chen Xiao pondered for a moment and said to Du Rong: "I have an idea. Let's talk about it after I meet Shi Fengdu."

After hearing this, Du Rong said nothing more.

After all, he is just a subordinate and can only give suggestions. The real decision is still up to Chen Xiao himself.

Chen Xiao felt that Shifengdu must be in a hurry, otherwise he would not have used the word "must". So, after washing up and changing into a robe that he only wore on formal occasions, Chen Xiao went directly to the island owner's mansion.

As he expected, Shi Fengdu even left someone waiting for him at the gate, allowing him to go straight in without wasting time and see the people who were so busy that they had no time to rest for a moment.

Chen Xiao was taken directly to Shi Fengdu's study, which was a suite consisting of two connected rooms.

In the innermost room, Shi Fengdu sat behind the desk, frowning slightly, saying something with a serious expression. Opposite him, three people stood with their hands clasped and bowed, listening attentively to his instructions.

There were two rows of chairs in the outer room, where people sat waiting for the interview. Some of them frowned in thought, while others whispered to others. The atmosphere was tense and solemn.

Seeing Chen Xiao walking hurriedly by, they didn't wait and were taken in directly. They all looked up and looked at his back curiously.

The person who led the way did not dare to speak loudly. He walked quickly and silently to Shi Fengdu's side and whispered something.

Shi Fengdu looked up and saw Chen Xiao, his expression visibly relaxed.

Then he motioned for everyone else to leave, leaving only the two of them talking in the room.

Shi Fengdu stood up, walked around the desk and asked Chen Xiao to sit on the Luohan bed next to the window.

Shi Fengdu took a long breath and said, "Fellow Daoist Chen, you arrived just in time. I was worried that you wouldn't be able to make it today, so I was thinking of sending someone to your residence again."

Chen Xiao was a little curious about why he was so anxious, but he remained calm. "As soon as I got home, I heard that Daoist Shi wanted to see me, so I hurried over. I wonder what Daoist Shi wants to see me about?"

Shi Fengdu looked at him and said, "I'll be frank with you. I came to ask you a favor this time."

Chen Xiao said hesitantly: "The Island Master's Mansion is very powerful, and Fellow Daoist Shi has a high level of cultivation. I really can't think of anything I can do to help."

Seeing that he did not mean to refuse, Shi Fengdu felt relieved and smiled: "I have thought about this matter over and over again, and I can only ask for your help."

Chen Xiao looked like he was listening attentively, so Shi Fengdu didn't waste any more words and told him the details directly.

The items used in the Lunyin Dharma Assembly held in the Island Lord's Mansion are naturally of high quality and in large quantities. Among them, the top-grade spiritual tea alone has to be ordered from several production areas a year in advance.

As a result, one of the tea makers' tea mountains was unlucky to be invaded by a ferocious beast, and the other suffered a natural disaster. The best time for picking the tea was missed, and the quality of the tea was not up to standard in the later rush.

This caused a shortage of tea leaves for the ceremony. Shi Fengdu was so angry that he didn't care about investigating the tea maker's guilt. The Island Master's Mansion was trying to make up for this mistake. They didn't care whether it was the new spring tea produced that year, as long as it was well preserved and fresh.

After hurriedly gathering together some, the first-rate quality was barely enough, but the top-grade spiritual tea was still a long way off.

Last year, Chen Xiao came to deliver Chongxuan Rock Tea, and the island owner Bai Ai thought it was very good. Shi Fengdu also took two taels and tasted it.

At this critical moment, he remembered that Chen Xiao said Xi Yunting gave him a batch of tea. He tried it out, hoping to make up for the remaining tea from Chen Xiao.

The Island Master's Mansion is facing such a dilemma, and Shi Fengdu has personally asked for help. It is reasonable and logical for Chen Xiao to help.

He nodded and said, "My elder brother sent me some at that time. However, after all, it was made by him alone, so the quantity cannot be compared with those professional tea makers. I wonder how much Daoist Fellow Shi needs?"

Shi Fengdu was delighted and said quickly, "The Island Master's Mansion is still short of at least 20 kilograms of top-grade spiritual tea. I wonder if Fellow Daoist Chen can get it together."

Chen Xiao breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "These quantities are still enough. How about this, I'll take out 50 kilograms, including 20 kilograms of strong aroma, 20 kilograms of medium aroma, and 10 kilograms of light aroma. Do you think this is okay?"

Shi Fengdu smiled and said, "Okay, that's enough! Fellow Daoist Chen has helped me out of my urgent need. I must repay such a favor. I think it would be better to let Fellow Daoist Chen be responsible for the venue arrangement of this Dharma Assembly. Are you willing?"

When Chen Xiao heard this, he was stunned for a moment.

Seeing that he didn't understand what he meant, Shi Fengdu continued, "Don't worry, whether it's stones, materials, flowers, plants, or trees, they're all ready. Fellow Daoist Chen just needs to arrange them. The Island Master's Mansion will definitely not let Fellow Daoist Chen's hard work go in vain, and you'll be rewarded after the task is completed."

With a thought in his mind, Chen Xiao immediately understood Shi Fengdu's plan.

The Island Master's Mansion had been preparing for the ceremony for nearly a year, but only started to make arrangements nearly a month later. This was simply not Shi Fengdu's style.

Shi Fengdu simply wanted to repay Chen Xiao for his help, so he gave Chen Xiao an opportunity out of the blue!
