Chapter 377 Banquet
After contacting the Ascension Alliance, someone knocked on Xie Liuyin’s door on the third day.
Fortunately, before she returned to the Third Heaven and ran to the library to read, she pretended that she had failed in her retreat and came out to move around again. Now if she came out and opened the door, it would not arouse the suspicion of the neighbors.
What Xie Liuyin didn't expect was that the person who came to visit was actually a subordinate of the Immortal Venerable Youlan.
The other party handed over an invitation in a very polite manner, saying, "My Immortal Master will host a banquet at Floating Cloud Palace in a few days. Please come and show us your presence."
Xie Liuyin accepted it silently, briefly asked about some key points of attending the banquet, and then sent the person away.
After closing the door, Xie Liuyin quickly glanced at the contents of the invitation.
There wasn't much information on it, it just said that the Immortal Venerable Youlan would hold a banquet in his own palace in five days, and there would be many guests coming, so he hoped Xie Liuyin would go and play.
It was almost the same as what the messenger said, there was no difference, which made Xie Liuyin feel a little relieved.
Since she is not the only one invited, I don't think it will be a big deal.
Xie Liuyin successfully comforted herself. She went back and looked through her luggage and found that she really didn't have any men's clothing suitable for attending large banquets, so she chose a time to go out and buy some.
Since she was visiting someone else's house, Xie Liuyin naturally had to bring a gift. Although the invitation said that Xie Liuyin didn't need to be restrained about bringing a gift, she still had some etiquette.
In order to avoid being too conspicuous or overshadowing, Xie Liuyin deliberately chose a slightly more low-key outfit.
But this is the craftsmanship of the fairy world after all. No matter how low-key it is, it looks more luxurious than the world of cultivation.
On the day of the banquet, Xie Liuyin set off early with gifts.
Many of the neighbors around also saw people from Floating Cloud Palace coming to deliver the letter, and they also knew that Xie Liuyin had an extremely important banquet today.
They didn't have any jealous thoughts, but just told Xie Liuyin to be careful. After all, those who could attend the banquet hosted by the Immortal Lord must not be simple people.
Xie Liuyin accepted their kindness and soon arrived at Floating Cloud Palace.
Fortunately, Xie Liuyin lived in the same city as Floating Cloud Palace, so she didn't have to set off a few days in advance.
The Floating Cloud Palace is different from the Moon-Raising Palace of the Moon-Holding Immortal Venerable, and it exudes a sense of luxury inside and out.
The layout here is more elegant and quiet, just like the fairy palace that Xie Liuyin had imagined.
There were more than ten palace maids and waiters standing at the door to receive guests. When Xie Liuyin arrived, a waiter looked at her invitation and then a palace maid took the initiative to come forward to lead the way for her.
Xie Liuyin followed the pink-skirted palace maid in front of her all the way into the Floating Cloud Palace. This fairy palace was quite large, and perhaps because the owner was an alchemist, there were flowers and plants everywhere.
Walking in it, Xie Liuyin felt inexplicably happy.
Not long after they walked, the palace maid led Xie Liuyin to the banquet hall and arranged for her to sit at a low table.
The banquet was held outdoors, on a lotus pond.
The lotus flowers all around were blooming, and the delicate fragrance of the flowers blew in from all directions, making Xie Liuyin unable to help but take a few more breaths.
Naturally, someone nearby noticed her action and gave her a friendly smile: "This immortal friend should be attending the banquet of Youlan Immortal Venerable for the first time, right?"
Xie Liuyin subconsciously looked over and met the handsome face of a young man.
The other person was also in the Golden Immortal Realm like her. He had a gentle demeanor and seemed easy to get along with.
As if afraid of scaring her, a newcomer, the other party lowered his voice and said, "Don't be nervous, my friend. We are all invited by the Immortal Venerable Youlan to attend this flower viewing banquet."
"I see you don't look familiar. I think this is your first time here, so I just want to talk to you. My name is Youjie, what's your name, fellow immortal?"
The other party was obviously well-intentioned, so Xie Liuyin naturally would not give him face: "I am Bai Fan, and this is indeed my first time attending a banquet."
"So, my immortal friend is Bai Fan. I have heard of your name a long time ago." The man named Youjie's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard Xie Liuyin introduce himself.
Is she really that famous? Xie Liuyin herself could not have imagined it.
“My fellow immortal may not know that the news of your advancement from the Xuanxian Realm to the Jinxian Realm in five years has spread throughout the three heavens in recent days. My friends and I have long wanted to meet a genius like you, but we never had the chance before.” Youjie saw Xie Liuyin’s confusion and simply gave an explanation.
"I see." Xie Liuyin nodded.
She was not surprised. After all, it was not easy to advance to the immortal level, not to mention that in the eyes of the outside world, she became a "superior immortal" in just five years, which naturally attracted more attention.
However, Xie Liuyin didn't take it too seriously. Her cultivation was real, and it would not change no matter how surprised others were.
Seeing her so frank, Youjie had a better impression of the person in front of him. Since the banquet had not started yet, he simply moved his stool and moved closer to Xie Liuyin.
He carefully told Xie Liuyin about the preferences of Immortal Venerable Youlan and explained why the other party always liked to hold banquets.
This Immortal Lord Youlan was originally an immortal transformed from a spiritual plant. When he arrived in the immortal world, he always loved to plant some flowers and plants.
Because he knows the habits of various plants and the effects of elixirs, his alchemy skills are unique and there is no one else like him in the entire fairy world.
Wherever she is, the immortal plants will benefit. The lotus flowers in the pond were planted by her personally, so they grow exceptionally well.
"This lotus flower can clear your mind and calm your soul. If you smell the fragrance of the flower more often, you will be able to achieve twice the result with half the effort in your cultivation when you go back today." Youjie said.
The Immortal Venerable Youlan likes to be lively, so there are many immortals in the Immortal Palace, but most of them are flower and plant monsters who have ascended, or they are descendants of the flower and plant immortals.
Every year when the lotus flowers are in full bloom, she would hold such a banquet and invite the fairies she favors to attend.
It is not only to build relationships with all parties, but also to auction the pills he made for a good price.
When she reached the level of Immortal Venerable Youlan, the elixir she refined was as effective as divine objects and was a good thing that could save lives.
Even if the Immortal Lords don't need these, they still have to prepare some for their beloved younger generations.
If Yuan Qing had had a few life-saving elixirs at hand, he wouldn't have died so easily.
It was a pity that the number of life-saving elixirs was too small, and Haotian Immortal Emperor didn't get one that time. In addition, he thought no one would dare to attack his grandson, which delayed Yuan Qing's life.
The Immortal Venerable Youlan not only refines life-saving elixirs, but also other elixirs that can treat congenital deficiencies, which are exactly what many descendants of immortals need.
However, Xie Liuyin was just listening for fun. According to Youjie, these elixirs were not sold to immortals like them who had no family background.
If they could take the opportunity to make friends with several Immortal Lords, that would be the biggest gain from attending the banquet.
Xie Liuyin kept these words in mind and planned to wait until the banquet started to see if there was anyone worth making friends with.
