Chapter 688 Alchemy Banquet



"No relationship."

Wei Ning flatly denied Xiang Sheng's words, "At least, my uncle didn't even open that purple gold invitation before I entered the Nine-Layered Pagoda. As for what happened to your master later, I don't know."

"Isn't it open..."

Xiang Sheng stroked the surface of the invitation with his fingertips. "Since it's an invitation, there must be a banquet. Brother, you know the inside story."

"I do know a thing or two, but this is not the place to talk."

As Wei Ning spoke, he raised his wolf claws slightly, and swung out a gray airflow that passed through Fang Cun Ji and wrapped Xiang Sheng in it.

"I will send you back to the Red and Blue Army camp first, and then I will explain in detail. Don't resist."

Xiang Sheng nodded slightly, and then he felt himself being pulled by the force of space. His eyes blurred, and the bone and stone wasteland in his vision was instantly replaced by a paper man sitting cross-legged and practicing in the tent.

Are you back now?!

Xiang Sheng was surprised, but his movements did not slow down at all.

She waved her sleeve to put away the paper figurine, closed her eyes, and sensed the warning barrier she had secretly set up. After confirming that no one had triggered it, she sat down again and asked carefully through voice transmission:

"Just now...was that Senior Brother's magical power?"

"Haha, exactly."

Wei Ning's hearty laughter echoed through the tent. "I follow the avenue of space, and my magical power is called Severing the Void. Your tent has been isolated by my magical power, forming a world of its own. Only a Profound Immortal can spy on it. You can speak without worry."

Hearing this, Xiang Sheng felt relieved and said, "Please give me some advice, Senior Brother."

Wei Ning sighed inwardly as she watched Xiang Sheng regain his usual composure.

If possible, he wanted Xiang Sheng to rely on him more. But thinking of his tangled forbidden bloodline...

As a senior brother, he is really a coward. The only thing he can do for his junior sister is to answer her questions and solve her doubts.

"This invitation you receive is for the Flower City's Pindan Banquet, also known as the Pindan Conference.

The Lord of Flower City is extremely skilled in alchemy. His elixirs can greatly enhance the power of immortals, saving countless painstaking efforts. However, Flower City is sparsely populated, and if he refines the elixirs for his own enjoyment, others will envy him. Therefore, he has held a banquet to invite the geniuses of various forces in the star realm to share the feast.

Xiang Sheng raised his eyebrows slightly: "If you do this, aren't you afraid of aiding the enemy?"

Wei Ning chuckled, "Huacheng has stood tall in the Star Realm for many years, so its lord is naturally no fool. How could he give away such a high-quality elixir for free? All the geniuses who enjoy the elixir must swear a heavenly oath that they will not become an enemy of Huacheng unless Huacheng provokes them!"

In this way, as long as Huacheng remains neutral and does not actively interfere in the struggle between the three tribes, the situation will remain stable."

Having said this, Wei Ning paused and continued:

"As for the origin of this invitation... I've only heard a few rumors, so just listen to them and don't take them seriously.

It is said that after the Lord of Huacheng held several banquets and gave away elixirs to make friends, he became radiant with golden light and gained immeasurable merits. He was favored by the heavens and obtained a magical treasure by chance.

Every time this treasure is activated, it can send invitations of different grades to the real owner through the void via the flow of heaven's secrets.

But as long as the invitation is not opened, the Flower City Lord will not be able to sense its location. This matter has been personally verified by your Master, so I can let you accept it with confidence."

Xiang Sheng's brows relaxed slightly upon hearing this, and he took out the purple gold invitation. "Brother, you just said that invitations have different grades. So what grade is this invitation of mine?"

"The invitation you brought in as a fairy is naturally the most prestigious."

Wei Ning smiled and said, "There are five grades of invitations: white wood, green stone, red flower, gold, and purple gold. Each grade corresponds to an elixir.

If I remember correctly, the purple gold post corresponds to a nine-transformation golden elixir, which can allow the Golden Immortal to increase his three original sources out of thin air!

For those below the Golden Immortal level, it would take tens of millions of years to improve each source of energy, which shows how precious this pill is.

The Alchemy Banquet is held once every thousand years, and even in ten Alchemy Banquets, there is no guarantee that a Nine-Turn Golden Pill will appear.

However, the more precious the elixir, the heavier the consequences behind it. Add to that the identity of Master-Uncle... Junior Sister must carefully consider this."

Upon hearing this, Xiang Sheng immediately put away the invitation, his eyes clear without any greed.

Pills are good, but you have to be alive to get them.

Once the Nine Revolutions Golden Pill, which has not been seen for ten thousand years, appears, it will definitely cause a sensation and push her to the forefront.

What she will have to face then will be the strong recruitment efforts from all sides.

If the background is accidentally exposed, the recruitment will immediately turn into a hunt.

To take a step back, even if the relationship with her master was not exposed, no matter which party's recruitment she agreed to, she would be jointly targeted by other forces, but the open pursuit would become an assassination.

She still had important things to do and didn't want to get into such trouble for no reason.

However, since there are so many people at the Pindan Feast, it's a good opportunity to explore the ghost town...

Thinking of this, she suddenly remembered the ghost town. Before she even asked Wei Ning, she immediately said, "Brother, did you know there's a ghost town in Flower City?"

When Wei Ning saw Xiang Sheng's clear eyes, she knew that she was not blinded by greed, and she felt relieved.

But the ghost town...

He frowned and said, "I've only heard that there's a ghost town in Yinxu. Flower City is a place where medicine is grown and elixirs are made. How can it be related to a ghost town?"

"Yinxu?"

Xiang Sheng repeated the unfamiliar word, frowning slightly, "Where is Yinxu?"

"Yinxu is an ancient legend. I don't know its exact location."

As Wei Ning was speaking, she suddenly sensed something, "Someone is coming."

He immediately withdrew his magical powers, and his spiritual consciousness retreated into his heart, concentrating and becoming silent.

Xiang Sheng immediately sat back on the cushion and closed his eyes.

And the next moment after she sat down cross-legged, the tent curtain was suddenly lifted by the white woman.

Xiang Sheng was immediately "awakened", and before he could say anything, he was hurriedly pulled out of the tent by the old woman Bai.

The rain of flowers outside has not stopped yet.

Seeing Xiang Sheng being drenched in the rain, the old woman finally spoke: "This is a magical rain from the gods. If you get drenched in it, the immortal essence you gain will be greater than if you practiced for three years!"

Xiang Sheng showed surprise, "Thank you very much for coming to wake me up personally. If it weren't for you, I would have missed it."

The old lady Bai felt very happy when she heard Xiang Sheng's words of gratitude, but she appeared indifferent on the surface and threw out a wooden invitation.

"This is an invitation to the Huacheng Dan Appreciation Conference. My Forbidden Camp will be there soon and will be responsible for maintaining the arena for the Tianjiao competition. You can also come along and watch the excitement.

"The invitations are my reward. There are ten of them in total, and I'll give this one to you. With this invitation, you can attend the banquet after the competition and receive an Immortal Elixir."

Xiang Sheng was thinking about the news of the Dan Banquet, but before he could even start asking, the invitation arrived in front of him.

She immediately accepted it with pleasure, "Thank you for the pill, sir!"

The corners of the old woman's mouth curled up slightly, but she quickly smoothed it out and coughed softly, "Get up, and cross the gap between immortal and mortal as soon as possible, so that I can teach you more advanced immortal prohibitions."

After saying that, the old woman waved her sleeves and strode away in a pretentiously casual manner.

Xiang Sheng stood in the rain of flowers, watched her leave, then sat down cross-legged at the door, sorting out the immortal energy after the breakthrough while waiting.

Not long after, another figure appeared in his sight.
