The aroma, a scent that was both unfamiliar and highly anticipated to them.
The thirteen monsters awoke one after another, their heads still spinning from the alcohol. They instinctively rushed to the table, pressed their hands against it, and stared blankly at the round pills.
Three ghostly figures floated above the table, their eyes a deathly green.
"There are sixteen in total, and we can all get one... True... Essence... Pill!"
When Feng Zhengzhong spoke, he would pause frequently, and anyone could hear the murderous intent and greed in his voice.
He was the only supernatural-level expert present. It could be said that if he wanted to take it all for himself, even if the other monsters and spirits joined forces, they couldn't stop him.
But Feng Zhengzhong suppressed his old instincts and looked around. The murderous intent in his eyes changed from greed to a warning—whoever wanted to steal it would have to get past him first.
Suddenly, he saw the words on the wall:
"Gentlemen, we have met by chance, but our acquaintance is shallow and our conversation is deep. I wish you all a safe and successful cultivation, and that you may attain longevity. I have nothing of value but elixirs to offer you, to fulfill our friendship over a cup of wine."
We are all people, demons, and ghosts from the Eastern Kingdom. We hope that when we meet again, we can still drink and chat happily. If our identities clash, there's no need for you to hold back; life or death, we can let bygones be bygones with a laugh.
Because of his handwriting, his speech has a somewhat archaic quality.
In fact, if we follow the ancient and modern ways of speaking, the ancient language is more concise and easier to write.
"What a chance encounter!" Feng Zhengzhong sighed, sweeping out with his wings and taking away all the True Essence Pills.
The monsters and spirits shuddered and were about to attack, but they saw Feng Zhengzhong distributing True Essence Pills to everyone, and each of them received one.
"Gentlemen, we did indeed meet these suit-wearing thugs by chance, but how have they treated us?"
Feng Zhengzhong asked loudly, and the group of monsters and spirits fell silent.
They belong to different factions; in fact, they wouldn't have survived to this day if they hadn't banded together.
But looking at the pills in his hand, he couldn't help but close his eyes, clench his teeth, and bulge the veins on his face.
"We met by chance, our acquaintances were shallow but our conversations were profound, and I gave you this elixir as a parting gift; this sentiment can be witnessed by heaven and earth!"
"Brother Feng, just tell us your thoughts, don't hold back!"
"Tell us about it, let's hear it."
The monsters and spirits spoke one after another.
Feng Zhengzhong nodded, composed himself, and fully transformed into human form. He swept his hand across the floor, illuminating the mess of spilled wine, and then knelt down on one knee.
"Heaven above, Earth above, bears witness!"
Feng Zhengzhong clasped his hands in a fist salute and declared loudly, "No one is more magnanimous than the thugs in suits. Although I, Feng Zhengzhong, am just a lowly demon, I know the principle of 'their heart is my heart.' From this day forward, I am with the thug brothers..."
We are of one mind and one heart, and we stand together through thick and thin.
We share blessings and weather calamities together.
If I break this oath, may Heaven and Earth condemn me.
"If you can't rid yourself of your inner demons, there's no way to achieve immortality!"
The voice from the wind was resounding, and with each word, a terrifying pressure came with the wind, the air froze, and the restaurant lights crackled and shattered, releasing an even more terrifying, blazing white light.
He is a supernatural-level expert, and his oath is not just empty talk. If he breaks it, he will truly be cursed by the nation's great fortune, leading to his death and the dissipation of his soul.
The other monsters and spirits suddenly began to tremble. After hesitating for a moment, one of the monsters also knelt down on one knee.
Once there's a first, there's a second.
Once there's a second one, there will be a third.
In the end, all thirteen demons and three spirits knelt on one knee. One of the demons laughed loudly, "Gentlemen, today we are sworn brothers. In ancient times, there was Erlang Shen Yang Jian and the six brothers of Meishan. Even in modern times, their oath is still valid. Why don't we follow the example of our predecessors, form a sworn brotherhood first, and then add Brother Fang Zong to our list when we meet him in the future?"
"I wonder if Brother Fang Zong would be willing. He's a thug in a suit."
"Haha, if you don't want to, just blame it on Brother Feng. What he said earlier... hahahaha..."
"Fine, push it onto my head!" Feng Zhengzhong was quite magnanimous.
All their worries vanished instantly. The thirteen demons and three spirits simultaneously became serious and declared firmly:
"Heaven above, Earth above, bears witness!"
We, a group of seventeen people including humans, demons, and ghosts, have sworn brotherhood and will remain so from now on...
We are of one mind and one heart, and we stand together through thick and thin.
We share blessings and weather calamities together.
If I break this oath, may Heaven and Earth condemn me.
"If you can't rid yourself of your inner demons, there's no way to achieve immortality!"
"Boom!" With a huge sound, dark clouds suddenly rolled in over the island.
Fang Zong was walking down the street when he looked up and saw rolling dark clouds filled with lightning. He instinctively grabbed the little yellow cat and pressed it onto his head like a hat.
"Meow! I'm not an umbrella!" Hu Batian flicked out his little paw to pull Fang Zong's hair.
"One True Essence Pill." Fang Zong, carrying the violin case he had just bought, spat, "You got off easy by using it as an umbrella. If I didn't want to go shopping, I would have just found a place to stay. Why would I need a True Essence Pill to bribe you, you dead cat?"
"Okay, meow." The little yellow cat immediately became obedient.
Fang Zong smiled, rubbed his stomach. Because of the hangover, he was even hungrier now, as if he hadn't eaten at all. He continued to wander the streets, looking for small shops that looked delicious.
Ninth Sister suddenly appeared:
"Ding Dang! Congratulations to the Summoner for obtaining the supreme sincerity of thirteen monsters. Reward: Holy Monster Coins +130!"
With the required number of Holy Demon Coins reached, the Summoner's Holy Demon Nobility will be upgraded to 'World-Shaking Might', and the Cloud-Tearing Gale Eyes will be upgraded to Cloud-Rending Gale Eyes!
