As the birthday banquet began, everyone presented treasures in a burst of colorful lights. What Huang Sheng presented was a lamp covered with a veil. The light was always burning, and when it was refined through sacrifice, it could burn the sky and boil the sea.

"A second-level weapon, a one-time killing weapon. Few cultivators of the same level can resist it."

Yang Huayue smelled a hint of danger from the gauze lampshade. This was a terrifying killing weapon. As long as it was fully activated, even cultivators in the Foundation Establishment stage would not be able to resist it and would be killed.

"It's a waste of money."

Kuang Shucheng had a smile on his face, and was very satisfied with this weapon. If used properly, it could kill a powerful enemy and destroy the enemy's front in an instant.

"It's my turn."

What He Chao gave was a bright moon pearl, as bright as the moon, hanging in the void, dropping rays of divine light.

Under the bright moon pearl, the sky and earth were clear, as if a layer of dust had been washed away, restoring the most essential appearance of things.

"This bead can break through the fog and illusion array when used."

Yang Huayue commented.

The bright pearl is like the moon, which can penetrate illusions. With this treasure, you can avoid many harms.

"Thank you for your kindness."

Kuang Shucheng happily accepted the Moon Pearl. This was not an ordinary second-level artifact. It had special properties and was extremely powerful in dispelling illusions.

"A few days ago, I explored a secret place and got a stack of mulberry yellow talismans. I'll give them to you, fellow Taoist."

Next, it was Yang Huayue's turn. Without much hesitation, he took out a stack of talismans from his storage bag and placed them on the jade table.

These talismans are all the same, with a yellow paper base and a vermilion seal. There are many mysterious lines flowing on the paper, accompanied by a sense of vitality, which is very strange.

"Mulberry yellow talisman? Second-level talisman? Dan talisman? Daoist friend, you are interested."

Kuang Shucheng was shocked and accepted it with great care. The Mulberry Yellow Talisman is very special. It has no offensive ability, but it contains powerful vitality. With it to protect himself, he is almost half as alive as before.

"If it wasn't at the birthday banquet, I would have to ask fellow Taoist for one."

There was a bright light flashing in Huang Sheng's eyes. The Mulberry Yellow Talisman was a second-level talisman, which was very useful for the injuries of cultivators in the Foundation Establishment Realm. For the younger ones in the Qi Refining Realm, it was even a magical item that could bring the dead back to life.

Whether it is given as a gift or for personal use, it is worth collecting.

"This is a simple matter. When the next person comes, select one or two juniors to come up and perform gestures to liven up the fun. I will definitely not be stingy."

Kuang Shucheng smiled, he was a very good person. All the senior executives of Dark Blade came to celebrate his birthday and gave him enough face. He couldn't not show some appreciation, so he simply joined in the fun and gave the young people a chance.

"Okay, but before that, I have to take a look at the gift from Chen Daoyou. I can't let him save money."

This proposal gained everyone's agreement.

Yang Huayue turned his words to Chen Sheng, without any malice, but more of a teasing tone.

"Hahaha……"

A few people knew what he meant and just smiled. The atmosphere was very relaxed and comfortable.

Huang Sheng was calculating in his heart, thinking to himself, "Although Chen Qingdi was in charge of the Tenth Squad for a short time, he was very famous. I wonder what he will come up with."

If we say that the most famous person among the Dark Blades in the past few decades is Chen Sheng, he is very scheming and has been able to see through the prisoners' plans many times. He is very skilled in attacking secret caves one after another and has accumulated a lot of resources for cultivation.

"Is it still a second-level artifact?"

He Chao was also thinking about this problem. Mr. Chen had a solid foundation and had many things to show off, but with the examples of the two of them, giving him a second-level artifact could be considered the safest option.

"A few days ago, I found a monk's travel notes among a bunch of classics. I thought it was quite interesting. Let Fellow Daoist Kuang take a look at it."

Chen Sheng didn't know that an artifact would make several Dark Blade captains feel uneasy. He turned his hand and a paper book appeared in his hand.

This was obtained by Zhao Da and others when they explored the secret realm. He originally wanted to give it to Chen Lian, but it never returned. When he read it again later, he found that the travel notes contained more content about cultivation, which was a bit inappropriate.

I think it is suitable for Kuang Shucheng now that he is old enough to watch it.

"Travels of a Monk?"

Several people looked surprised. Among all the books on cultivating immortals, travel notes of cultivators were of the lowest category and were classified as "miscellaneous books".

After all, in the world of immortal cultivation, the strong are respected, and spells, secret techniques, and skills are more practical.

They didn't believe that Mr. Chen didn't understand this principle. Seeing him and Kuang Shucheng talking and laughing happily without any conflicts, they thought there must be something mysterious going on.

"In this case... then I have to take a good look."

Kuang Shucheng took the "Travels of Taoist Kongming" from Chen Sheng with a smile on his face, flipped through four or five pages, stopped, and said, "This book... is worth a careful reading."

His expression was no longer as relaxed as before, but rather cautious. He took this "miscellaneous book" very seriously, almost holding it in his hand.

"Friend Kuang, you have aroused my curiosity. Can we have a look?"

Seeing him like this, Huang Sheng became curious.

He is not a wandering cultivator in the mountains. He has a cultivation heritage and is not ignorant. Kuang Shucheng is older and more knowledgeable. It is rare that he changes his color just because of a travel note.

"I'm curious, too."

He Chao said the same thing.

"Then let me show you."

Kuang Shucheng carefully handed the Travel Notes of Taoist Kongkong to Huang Sheng, who was closest to him.

"fencing?"

Huang Sheng's expression became more serious. He held the travel notes in his hand and started reading. In the book was an autobiography of a Taoist named Kong Kong. After he became proficient in the way of swordsmanship, he traveled the world with his sword.

This part was written in an immersive way, with occasional brilliant words. He realized a few secret sword techniques from it, and taking advantage of his high spirits, he read through another half of the book. However, with so many thoughts and inspirations racing through his mind, he couldn't comprehend it all at once. The more he read, the more confused he became, so he had to stop.

The second one to watch is Hechao.

When he saw Huang Sheng's expression, he knew that this was not a random book but one that contained principles of cultivation, so he concentrated and read it.

"Magic?"

Everyone has different focus when reading a book. He Chao has read half of the book, and there are already dozens of magic tricks that appear. Every description is meaningful and not randomly compiled.

He believed that the book contained a legacy of magic, and as long as he understood it thoroughly, he could practice it.

"To torture your true heart?"

The third person to read it was Yang Huayue. He read it in a hurry and was the only one who read the whole travelogue. He was very excited after reading it. It was the life of Taoist Kong Kong, which was full of ups and downs and very exciting.

Especially in his later years, he made great progress and mastered the magic, but he did not show any joy. His fellow Taoists died, and he practiced alone in the mountains, feeling lonely all the time. When he passed away, he laughed loudly. The three words "How happy" shocked people's hearts and minds and made them unable to calm down.

"This is the enlightenment of a master. It is very precious."

After a round, the book "Travels of Taoist Kongkong" returned to Kuang Shucheng's hands. He had already come to his senses. This was a legacy of insights from a hermit master, and every word was written with painstaking effort. It was not the kind of travel notes of a cultivator that mortals liked to read, so it was very precious.

"Fellow Daoist Chen, your moves are extraordinary."

Huang Sheng and others looked at Chen Sheng with amazement. This man had indeed led the Tenth Team and done a lot of things. He could even throw away the insights and inheritance of this hermit master.

Mr. Chen didn't feel sorry at all. Taoist Kongkong's travel notes were indeed well written, but what he wrote would definitely not be worse than the other one.

In terms of his state of mind, he was hit hard by time and was deeply touched. What he wrote is able to touch people's hearts.

"Hahaha, let the junior you like come up and compete. I have a reward."

On Tianque Peak, Kuang Shucheng got a lot of good things, including Huang Sheng's one-time killing weapon, He Chao's Moon Pearl that can break illusions, Yang Huayue's Mulberry Yellow Talisman, and the most valuable Travel Notes of Taoist Kongkong.

He was very happy and paid close attention to the earlier mentioned competition among younger generations. He specially took out a mulberry yellow talisman and a batch of high-quality spirit stones as rewards.

Afterwards, rewards will be given out according to the rankings, and everyone will have a share.

"We can't let Fellow Daoist Kuang do all the work alone. I'll add some."

Huang Sheng was in high spirits and took out a small seal made of polished green jade. It was bright and shiny, between the first and second order magic weapons, which could allow geniuses to fight above their level with overwhelming power.

"good……"

He Chao and Yang Huayue did not fall behind, one of them threw out a furnace of refined second-level monster blood to refine the body, which was very good. The other one released a tiger bee to kill people secretly without leaving any trace.

"Let me add some luck. No one from the 10th team will move up. There have been no new members in recent years."

Chen Sheng followed the crowd and added a second-level spiritual herb, but when he asked someone to compare it, he refused.

The youngest blind player in the tenth team has already left the category of juniors, so he won’t go out to compete with the youngsters.

"The survival rate of your 10th team is incredible."

Speaking of this, Huang Sheng expressed his amazement. It was definitely a great wonder that the Tenth Team had been exploring the secret realm for many years and all members were safe and sound.

"It's a place where you can hone yourself and practice without putting your life in danger. It's an ideal place for practice."

He Chao boasted about it, but he later forgot about it. However, Kuang Shucheng and Yang Huayue had already thought about it a long time ago.

"It's over. It's over."

Mr. Chen waved his hand, with no intention of teaching him. In fact, it was a very simple method. Use money to save your life. With massive amounts of resources invested, even the most dangerous secret realm could be filled.

When the tenth team went down to explore again and really encountered danger, he was there to make elixirs to save their lives.

By doing this, the Tenth Squad had a strong survival rate, and his position was as stable as a rock, making him extremely popular.

This way.

At the foot of Tianque Peak, after learning that there was such a competition, several young men who were valued had already hurried up the mountain to pay their respects to the top leaders of Dark Blade.

They are young heroes. Standing on the top of the mountain, they have caught the attention of the older generation and their road ahead will be smooth.

"Chang Qinghua from the Fifth Squad, greetings to all the gentlemen."

A young man with a tall figure and bright eyes stood straight with a hint of excitement in his eyes. He bowed to Chen Sheng and others with full of admiration.

"An Daozu from the Seventh Squad, nice to meet you, Senior."

The next person to speak was a young man in a black robe. He had a dark aura and deep eyes, showing that he was scheming. However, in front of Chen Sheng and others, he did not dare to be rebellious and was very straightforward.

"Yang Li from the Yang family, greetings to all the adults, and greetings to Senior Chen."

The third one is a fresh and handsome young man, with his sleeves slightly loose, like the breeze and bright moon, upright and dignified.

After he greeted several Dark Blade executives, there was a detail that he saluted Chen Sheng alone with a respectful attitude.

"This is a younger generation of our clan, with great talent."

Yang Huayue spoke.

He thought highly of this junior, and a rare smile appeared on his cold and stern face.

"He's a good-looking guy, very good."

Chen Sheng and Yang Huayue became more and more close friends. When Yang Li met him alone, it was like a younger generation paying respects to an uncle with whom he was familiar. He had a gentle expression, nodded at him and praised him.

"Kuang Mengting, hello to all the adults, hello to Senior Chen."

The last one was a resolute young man with a strong physique, vigorous spirit, and bright eyes. Just like Yang Li, after meeting everyone, he bowed to Chen Sheng as a junior.

"Um?"

Yang Li looked at Kuang Mengting thoughtfully, with a hint of scrutiny and observation.

"This is an extremely talented descendant of my lineage."

Kuang Shucheng pointed at Kuang Mengting and introduced him. He said very little, but his admiration was obvious. He said, "Fellow Daoist Chen, what do you think?"

This question was not just out of politeness, but a bit serious. The speaker really wanted to ask for Mr. Chen's opinion.

"Strong and steady, not bad."

Chen Sheng took a look and nodded in praise. Yang Li had profound magical powers and a solid foundation. With time, he would surely be able to break into the Foundation Establishment Realm. With Kuang Shucheng paving the way and guiding him, he might be able to occupy a high position in the Dark Blade.

"This old Kuang, could it be that he has been waiting for this for a long time?"

Yang Huayue's eyes narrowed and he became alert. When Kuang Mengting went out of his way to greet Mr. Chen, he sensed something strange. Then when Kuang Shucheng came forward and asked some questions, he realized that the old guy had the same idea as him.

The 10th Dark Blade Squad is at its peak, and Chen Sheng is unrivalled at the moment, with the trend showing signs of rapid progress in the future.

The warden was already very old at that time, and he had everything going for him, including the right time, the right place, and the right people, so he was destined to transform into a dragon and fly into the sky.

They want to place a bet and let the younger generation of disciples follow behind them to avoid gradual decline in the future.

Even if we take a step back and say that Chen Sheng cannot reach the top level of the Black Abyss Prison in the end, the means he has displayed alone are enough to earn their respect.

"Everyone present here today is a big shot from Dark Blade. You younger generations, don't hide your abilities. Show off as much as you can."

There was a tone of exhortation in Kuang Shucheng's voice, without mentioning the twists and turns in his mind. With five top Dark Blade executives present, as long as these younger generations performed well, they would benefit greatly in the future.

Similarly, once one's bad deeds are exposed and recorded, many opportunities will be lost and the road ahead will be full of difficulties.

“The stakes are high.”

Mr. Huang smiled widely, not letting the atmosphere become cold.

Just as he said, putting aside the subsequent impact of this fight, the current reward is already generous enough to give it a try.

"rest assured."

“We will definitely go all out this time.”

"Brothers, I'm sorry to be late later."

The four young men looked serious, as those watching included elders and leaders, so they could not be careless, they had to earn this face.

In an instant, each of the young men slowly moved a step or two to the side, alert to potential opponents.
