The two men's secret conversation seemed to last for a long time, but in fact it was only half an hour before they separated, leaving a group of monks at the table sighing secretly.
"If I had known that this Chen Zhenchuan had such an easygoing personality, I would have brought a few immortal seedlings with me..."
"Even if Chen Zhenchuan doesn't like me, it's still great to be familiar to her!"
“…”
Yao Ziyi returned to the banquet hall on the mountaintop. Seeing Xiang Sheng and Li Xiaoliu there, he felt relieved. He immediately approached them with excitement, impatiently saying, "Xiaoliu and Xiaoqi, do you know who I, your senior brother, ran into outside? Chen Zhen, the disciple of the Myriad Veins Sword Sect!"
Xiang Sheng and the other man were not stupid. They reacted immediately after hearing this and showed surprise in unison.
"real?!"
Li Xiaoliu's eyes lit up. "I heard that Chen Zhenchuan is a female cultivator. Brother, is she pretty?"
The corner of Yao Ziyi's eye twitched slightly, "Is it good looking? I think you deserve a beating!"
"Brother, this is at someone's party, please don't do anything!"
"Brother, don't be angry. Sixth Brother is naughty. Please bear with me."
"Xiao Qi is still sensible. Humph... Anyway, come with me tonight to meet that Chen Zhenchuan. Don't be so outspoken anymore, do you understand?"
“I heard…”
An inconspicuous gray-robed monk at the banquet heard this and looked away as if nothing had happened, but his hand hidden in his sleeve quietly crushed a jade talisman in secret.
As the jade talisman shattered, Lu Xuanji, who was sitting at the end of a table on the mountainside, paused for a moment before turning and saying with a smile, "That cultivator named Chen Yao did bring two immortal seedlings with him, and his words and actions were normal."
Guang He listened to Lu Xuanji's words in his ear without even looking at him. He just put down the cup in his hand and said calmly, "How is the arrangement of the jade talisman going?"
Lu Xuanji smiled faintly, "Don't worry, Palace Master, everything will be fine. If there are any omissions, you can take action against me."
After saying this, Guang He still looked neither happy nor sad on the surface, but he was extremely pleased in his heart.
Just a little intimidation and he becomes so obedient.
This Lu Xuanji really deserves his reputation in vain, he is not as weird as others say.
…
As the banquet drew to a close in the afternoon, about 10% of the wandering cultivators who had come to eat and drink for free had left one after another, but nearly 80% of the cultivators did not move at all.
Word of this strange phenomenon quickly spread in secret, and soon after, the ten percent of monks who had left the table returned and sat down at their original seats.
The banquet hall became increasingly quiet.
In this quietness, time passed slowly. As night fell and the lights came on, Lin Fengqing finally arrived.
"I'm sorry to have kept you waiting for so long."
Lin Fengqing looked at the guests, his expression not gloomy at all. He laughed out loud and said, "It seems that many of you fellow practitioners have already heard about the secret realm of our sect's medicine garden.
"I'm telling you the truth. Our sect has indeed discovered the location of a red fruit spirit tree within the secret realm. It's an ancient spirit tree that has nurtured spirit fruit for over a hundred thousand years!"
These words were like thunderclaps out of the blue, exploding in the silent banquet hall, and all the monks at the table changed color.
"A hundred thousand year old Vermillion Fruit?!"
"It took such a long time to gestate, it can be called a rare treasure. If I can get one, I might be able to break through the bottleneck and make further progress!"
"For Fengqing Sect to be willing to take out such a rare treasure, there must be something fishy going on!"
"No matter if there's something fishy going on, people die for money and birds die for food. I'm going to fight to the death to get one!"
“…”
Lin Fengqing looked at the unusually noisy banquet hall with a calm gaze. After the hall quieted down a bit, he continued:
“Any rare treasure must be guarded by a ferocious beast. Beside this Zhuguo Spiritual Tree, there is a very deep snake demon guarding it, which is extremely difficult to deal with.
Even if I put all my strength into it, I can't do anything about it, so I can only take the opportunity of the birthday banquet to invite all my fellow practitioners to help.
The Red Fruit Spirit Tree has a thousand fruits. As the host, Fengqing Sect will only take 10%, and the remaining 90% will be distributed among the fellow Taoists. What do you think?"
"10%? That's too low."
A young man at the table said in a cold voice, "After all, the Medicine Garden Secret Realm is the home turf of your Fengqing Sect. Are you, Lin Fengqing, planning to take us all in one fell swoop and take it all for yourself?"
Lin Fengqing was questioned but remained calm. He laughed and said, "Fellow Daoist, you are wrong. After the banquet, I believe you all know the financial resources of our sect. We Fengqing Sect has no shortage of cultivation resources, but we have few disciples.
One hundred red fruits are enough for the whole clan to benefit. If you take more, you may suffer great disaster."
At this point, Lin Fengqing gave a bitter smile: "I know myself well, so why not spend money to avoid disaster?"
"Master Lin, what you said is not right, right?"
Another cultivator at the banquet sneered, "With the support of the Myriad Veins Sword Sect, what beast can't you defeat? If you're truly in such trouble, wouldn't it be more reliable to seek help from your former Grandmaster and the elders of the sect than to summon us now?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the place suddenly became quiet, and all eyes were cast on Chen Meng, who was sitting in the right chief seat.
Chen Meng raised his eyes slightly, glanced at the banquet hall, and said lightly: "A mere 100,000-year-old red fruit is not enough to make our Sword Sect mobilize troops. I just came to help out out of the friendship between our sect and master. As for the red fruits, except for the 10% that Feng Qing Sect has, you can take them as you please.
However, I must be frank with you: if anyone dares to disregard the agreement and attack Feng Qing Sect disciples, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
"The rumors about Chen Zhen are too serious."
The young man who had questioned him coldly just now now put on a smile and said, "Since Chen Zhenchuan is guaranteeing us, we will naturally trust him and abide by the agreement."
"Chen Zhenchuan has spoken, and his promise is as good as gold! We will give 10% to Fengqing Sect, and the rest of the red fruits will be given to you by your own ability!"
