Chapter 623: Gift Competition
"It is my little girl's infant condensation celebration. I am very honored that you fellow Taoists have come to attend!"
Ning Tianyi stood up and made an opening statement.
Ning Daoran and other guests also took their seats one by one. The seats were basically arranged according to their cultivation levels. In the two seats closest to Ning Tianyi sat two old men with white hair and beards. They exuded the aura of a late Nascent Soul stage and had an extremely extraordinary demeanor.
On the second step sat a group of cultivators in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul.
The Seven Stars True Lord, the Du'e True Lord, the Liuyun True Lord and others were all ranked in this row. What was surprising was that Ning Daoran, who was in the early Nascent Soul stage, was also ranked here, sitting side by side with Lin Xuyan.
The positions on the third, fourth and fifth steps are all in the early stage of Nascent Soul.
Ning Daoran looked around and couldn't help but sigh secretly. The people who attended the celebration today were enough to shake the entire Endless Demon Sea. The face of Guixu City Lord Ning Tianyi was really great! Soon after, a group of maids dressed as palace maids began to serve the banquet. Various spiritual wines, spiritual meats, and spiritual fruits filled the table. Ning Tianyi's selections were of extremely high specifications. There was even a plate of valuable dragon jade fruit on the table of the Nascent Soul stage master. This kind of spiritual fruit is rich in spiritual energy, and the price of one in the outside world starts at at least hundreds of spiritual stones.
"Everyone!"
Longque Sanren walked out and signaled everyone that they could present gifts to the city lord and his beloved daughter.
In front of the seats for the Jindan stage, a group of servants from the City Lord's Mansion collected gifts and recorded them one by one on the gift list. However, it was different for the seats for the Yuanying stage. When each person gave a gift, a Yuanying early stage priest would sing out the name of the gift loudly!
"Let me throw out some ideas for you to explore."
A young cultivator in the early Nascent Soul stage stood up, with a flick of his sleeves emitting ethereal air. He turned into a flash of light and flew up to the platform. He took out a brocade box from his sleeve and presented it to the City Lord's Mansion. The gift was accepted by the chief clerk of the City Lord's Mansion. Ning Mingyu nodded in thanks for the gift. Everything was so proper.
A few seconds later, the Nascent Soul Early Stage Priest who was in charge of reading out the gift concealed the Nascent Soul spiritual power in his voice and said loudly: "A gift from the Nanlu Sect's Deputy Sect Master, Tianlu Zhenjun, is a pair of third-grade magic weapons, Lingyu Treasure Boots!"
For a moment, everyone at the Jindan stage seat was shocked. It was indeed a gift from the Yuanying stage. They actually gave a pair of third-grade top-grade boots. The Nanlu Sect was indeed one of the top sects in the southern border of Sangyu Country. It really had a profound foundation! "Hmph..."
Tianlu Zhenjun seemed very satisfied with everyone's reaction. He clasped his fists with Ning Tianyi and Ning Mingyu again, then turned around and flew back to his seat.
Afterwards, the second Nascent Soul early stage cultivator sent a gift. This time the gift was slightly inferior, consisting of three top-grade Luochen Pills.
However, Ning Tianyi and Ning Mingyu still accepted it with a smile on their faces.
Afterwards, more Yuanying early stage cultivators sent gifts one by one, but no one's gift was more valuable than the pair of third-grade top-grade Lingyu treasure boots.
"snort!"
Lin Xuyan crossed his arms and said with a smile, "It is so obvious that Nanlu Sect is trying to make friends with Guixu City. It seems that the rumors about Nanlu Sect sending inner disciples to settle in Guixu City may be true. The generous gift sent by Tianlu Zhenjun is just one of the signs."
Ning Daoran nodded in agreement.
None of the gifts given at such a scene are given for free. In fact, to put it bluntly, they are all transactions of favors. Every cultivator who sends a gift and the forces behind them must have some demands on Guixu City.
"Kyohiko."
At this time, the Seven Stars True Lord looked over and said, "Send the gift on behalf of my Liangyi Sect."
"Yes, Uncle Master!"
Lin Xuyan stood up immediately, and in line with the principle that immortal cultivators should never leave if they can fly, he turned into a beam of light and flew in front of Ning Tianyi and Ning Mingyu. As he flicked his sleeves, an extremely delicate treasure box appeared in front of him. When the lid of the box was opened, an extremely exquisite jade hairpin was revealed inside. The hairpin was shining with light, and it exuded an extremely rich treasure essence.
Not long after, the Yuanying Early Stage Worshiper read out loudly: "The gift presented by Liangyi Sect is an exquisite jade hairpin, a third-grade top-grade ancient treasure!"
Suddenly, everyone was moved.
“It’s actually an ancient treasure?”
A late Jindan cultivator frowned and said, "The Liangyi Sect is so bold that they actually took out an ancient treasure!"
The bare-chested burly man in the late Jindan stage beside him nodded and said, "An ancient treasure was given as a mere gift. It seems that Liangyi Sect also intends to set foot in Guixu City. Has the top sect of Xia Country finally been unable to resist and is ready to march into the Endless Demon Sea?"
Everyone was surprised.
"snort!"
At this time, a man who looked extremely feminine in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul slowly stood up, walked to the stage, took out a brocade box from his storage bag, and said in a deep voice: "City Lord Ning, Fairy Mingyu, this is a gift from my Hanyue Sect."
When the box was opened, an extremely delicate fairy dress with radiant precious light floated up, and Ning Mingyu's eyes lit up immediately.
"The gift presented by Hanyue Sect's leader, Hanyue Zhenjun, is a colorful fairy dress, a third-grade top-grade ancient treasure!"
For a moment, everyone was shocked again.
It turned out to be another ancient treasure. The gift for this Infant Condensation Celebration was indeed a big deal! Ancient treasures were something that had a price but no market. They were second only to fourth-tier spiritual treasures. In fact, they were a kind of treasure that was not circulated and only existed in treasure exchanges. In the major markets of the Eastern Wilderness Cultivation World, there were no traces of ancient treasures or spiritual treasures at all. Treasures that were in much greater demand than the market would not appear in the markets at all.
Ning Daoran frowned. Liangyi Sect and Hanyue Sect successively presented ancient treasures, which immediately raised the level of this celebration a lot...
As a result, those guests in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul who had not yet taken out their gifts all turned pale. When others took out ancient treasures, they felt quite embarrassed with the third-grade mid-quality magic weapons in their pockets.
Everyone presented their gifts one by one, but Ning Daoran remained focused and calm. He did not plan to give away his golden feather sword too early. He would wait until everyone had given theirs before giving it away. Anyway, his relationship with Ning Mingyu was much better than that of everyone else present, so there was no need for him to compete with them.
Finally, most of the Nascent Soul cultivators had presented their gifts, and it was the turn of the two late Nascent Soul elders.
One of them slapped his storage ring, and suddenly a streak of light shot out, transforming into an extremely mysterious spiritual herb. He said with a smile, "This is a Heart-Clearing Herb, one of the main ingredients of the fifth-level Great Pill, the Divine Transformation Pill, the Mingxing Immortal Soul Pill. Since Mingyu, you have successfully condensed your infant, this herb is given to you as an encouragement. I hope you can go one step further and successfully transform into a god within two hundred years!"
Suddenly, everyone gasped! Even Ning Daoran was stunned. The old man actually had a sacred medicine, the Heart-Clearing Grass. This was what he had been looking for, and he actually gave it to him as a gift! The other cultivators were also shocked. Even the Holy Medicine could be given away, which meant that this late Nascent Soul cultivator had more than one Heart-Clearing Grass. He really had a profound background! "Thank you, Senior Ling Yin!"
Ning Mingyu stood up for the first time, respectfully accepted the Chengxin Grass, and thanked him again.
Ning Tianyi also smiled: "Fellow Daoist Lingyin, please take a seat, please take a seat..."
The old man in the late Nascent Soul stage sat down with a smile on his face, his expression calm, but he was quite proud in his heart.
"Mingyu."
At this time, another late Nascent Soul cultivator wearing a dark blue gown was unwilling to fall behind. He slowly stood up, patted his storage bag and took out a dark blue jade bottle:
"This is a bottle of Jade Purity Pills, with about a hundred pills. I give it to you, Mingyu, as a gift for your baby's condensation. The gift may be small, but the sentiment is profound. Please don't despise it!"
Suddenly, there was complete silence in the place, and everyone was stunned.
A big deal, absolutely a big deal!
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
The Jade Purity Pill is a fourth-grade top-grade pill, made from a variety of rare spiritual medicines. It can improve the cultivation of the Nascent Soul and strengthen the Nascent Soul. It is a rare treasure for Nascent Soul cultivators! Unfortunately, the spiritual medicines required for the Jade Purity Pill are so rare that this kind of pill is rarely circulated on the market. Even if there are, the price of a Jade Purity Pill can often be hyped up to tens of thousands of spiritual stones! Therefore, this old cultivator took out hundreds of Jade Purity Pills at once, which shows how terrible his foundation is! The value of this bottle of Jade Purity Pill is probably not less than that of the Heart Purification Grass! "Thank you, Senior Lingfa!"
Ning Mingyu stood up again, took the jade bottle with a smile, and looked delighted.
Ning Tianyi was also delighted: "Thank you, fellow Taoist Lingfa, please take a seat, please take a seat..."
Thus, the contest between the two great monks in the late Nascent Soul stage ended with no winner!
"Are there any guests who have not yet presented their gifts?"
The Yuanying early stage priest asked loudly.
"Ning has something to give to Mingyu."
Ning Daoran stood up majestically, and like Lin Xuyan, he turned into a flash of light and went on stage, standing in front of Ning Tianyi and Ning Mingyu.
"elder brother!"
Ning Mingyu stood up with a smile, and there was even a coquettish look on her pretty face, which attracted the attention of many cultivators.
"oh?"
Ning Tianyi also smiled and said, "My dear Ning, what would you like to give to celebrate Ming Yu Ning Ying?"
Ning Daoran slapped his storage bag immediately, and a stream of light flew out and crossed in front of him, transforming into a golden long sword with a very rich treasure essence. He said, "This thing is called the Golden Wing Sword. I saw Mingyu use the Sea Covering Sword Formation when I was training with her last time. If this Golden Wing Sword is used as the core sword of the Sea Covering Sword Formation, it should be able to increase the power of the sword formation by at least 30%!"
"oh?"
Ning Tianyi was surprised. He didn't expect Ning Daoran to send a spiritual treasure-level gift!
The Yuanying Early Stage Worshiper was also stunned for a moment, and then he read out loudly in a voice that could be heard by the whole audience: "The gift from Master Jianjia Ning Daoran is a golden feather sword that contains rich Gengjin essence, a fourth-level lower-grade spiritual treasure!"
The whole audience was silent, completely silent!
After several breaths, a cultivator's gnashing voice came from the corner: "You old demon Jianjia, you are so rich and powerful..."
Ning Daoran couldn't help but laugh and simply turned a deaf ear to the voice.
"Thank you, Mr. Ning!"
Ning Tianyi also stood up and clasped his fists in return.
Ning Daoran nodded and smiled, handed the Golden Feather Sword to Ning Mingyu, and immediately returned to his seat.
At this moment, almost everyone's eyes were focused on him. Not only did he send a fourth-level low-grade spiritual treasure, but it was also a golden sword containing Gengjin essence. This person's background was so deep that it was terrifying! ...
“Brother…”
On the side, Lin Xuyan rubbed his hands, looking shy: "Do you still have this spiritual treasure-level golden sword? If you still have it, I am willing to pay the spiritual stones to buy it. What do you think, brother?"
"No more. I gave the last one to Mingyu. You can wait for later."
"ah?"
Lin Xuyan let out a howl and felt extremely disappointed.
