There were only a few people in the hall, but the Zhou family members outside felt as if they were looking at the Golden Palace from afar, and they were all guessing the reason for Master Chen's arrival.

However, even though they had all kinds of thoughts in their hearts, they did not dare to act rashly and retreated far away from the place.

"Was the Zhou family discussing matters just now?"

Mr. Chen seemed to have realized something. He came casually and in a hurry. Even if the Zhou family wanted to meet with a grand ceremony, they could not gather so many senior executives at once.

"Yes, there are some things that I dare not make decisions on my own, and I want to hear the opinions of my tribe members."

The head of the Zhou family was not clear about Chen Sheng's intentions and did not dare to say anything. He just dealt with it vaguely.

"So...what did we discuss...?"

Mr. Chen looked amiable, as if he could not hear the Zhou family head's considerations, and continued to ask questions.

"this……"

The head of the Zhou family hesitated and wanted to tell Mr. Chen directly that the current situation of the Zhou family was not very good, but he was worried that this was just a greeting. If he rashly asked for help and the other party had no such intention, then the situation would be completely deadlocked.

At this moment, he saw Zhou Lie nodding at him, and he immediately felt relieved and no longer worried. He said, "Fight to the bitter end! My Zhou family and the Lu family cannot coexist."

The words are powerful and the stance is firm.

This silver-scale iron mine is the Zhou family's fortune for three hundred years. If we give it away, we will destroy the family's future.

As the head of the Zhou family, even though he knew he would lose this battle, he still wanted to fight in order to live up to the hard work of his ancestors.

"Good, there is some strong spirit, which proves that the Zhou family should not be destroyed and can continue."

Mr. Chen was very happy that the Zhou family did not bring shame to Deacon Zhou. They were not afraid of difficulties and dared to shed blood. Such a family of immortal cultivation, even if it suffered a setback one day, would have the opportunity to rise again.

"I, Zhou, would like to ask Master Chen to lend a helping hand."

The atmosphere became tense, and the head of the Zhou family gritted his teeth and asked Mr. Chen for help.

He felt that he was not that stupid and had grasped the man's intention and was willing to take action.

"I heard that an elder of the Zhou family is going to celebrate his birthday."

Mr. Chen did not respond directly, but mentioned something else.

"Celebrating a birthday? Yes, my uncle will be 100 years old in seven days, and we are going to have a grand celebration."

The head of the Zhou family was puzzled for a moment, but he still planned a 100th birthday party. In fact, his uncle was only 99 years old, but for the sake of the family, he could have a little more.

"It just so happens that, taking advantage of this 100th birthday celebration, I would like to get to know the immortal cultivation families near the Zhou family."

Chen Sheng's eyes were far away, looking across the Dafeng Valley and overlooking the area within a radius of a hundred miles.

This place is too small and he doesn't want to start a big fight.

"Contact with other races? I see."

The Zhou family leader was stunned for a moment, then he understood and said with excitement, "I will summon all parties to come and see you, my Lord."

This gentleman didn't want to get to know Zhou family's friends at all. It was obvious that he wanted to use the birthday party as an opportunity to support Zhou family.

People like the Lu family are not stupid. If they can't even appreciate this, then this time it will be very dangerous.

Invitations were sent out one after another within the Zhou family.

Lu family.

In the room, a man was sitting upright, with a towering figure and an air of a tyrant.

Next to him was a young man named Lu Yuan, a genius of the Lu family. He was brought around and taught how to behave in society.

"He invited us to his 100th birthday party. He is not afraid that we will take the opportunity to break the Zhou family's mountain protection formation and come to kill them directly."

Lu Changfeng held the Zhou family's invitation in his hand. After a while of thought, he became restless and planned to take advantage of the mixed crowd on the birthday to fish in troubled waters.

However, he was still cautious and said, "Has the spy we planted in the Zhou family received any news?"

The Zhou family did decline, but that was not the responsibility of the head of the Zhou family. It was inevitable due to the death of the ancestor.

After several confrontations, he realized that the Zhou family still had some financial resources and would not suddenly do something stupid, giving him an opportunity to take advantage of.

So, something must have happened that made the Zhou family not afraid of being overthrown on their birthday.

"The Chen Dan Master who has a history with the Zhou family's ancestor has appeared at the Zhou family."

Lu Yuan asked doubtfully.

He was somewhat unfamiliar with the name Chen Danshi, as he was not a native of this area.

"Master Chen? That's troublesome."

Hearing this, Lu Changfeng raised his eyebrows, and the plan in his mind was instantly messed up.

If he wanted to swallow up the Zhou family, he naturally had to know the Zhou family's background first and could not act rashly.

The Zhou family’s greatest asset is that Zhou Minsheng passed away more than 20 years ago. There are no outstanding people in the family, and the family background is not as good as that of the Lu family.

The only person that he was wary of was this Master Chen, who was said to be a close friend of the Zhou family's ancestor and was an alchemist in Yaolu, of noble status.

I don’t know how he, a deacon at a retirement home, got to know such an important figure. It’s really fate.

"Should we pass the news to Elder Jia first?"

Upon hearing that it was someone from the Immortal Sect, and a distinguished alchemist at that, Lu Yuan was a little surprised. Such a big shot was not something the Lu family could easily take advantage of.

Fortunately, the Lu family is not without support. A few years ago, they also hooked up with an outer sect elder named Jia from the Guangxiu Immortal Sect, and since then they have had a foundation.

"Please hold off for now, let's go over and make contact first."

Lu Changfeng thought for a moment, shook his head, and said, "Prepare gifts, and expensive gifts."

Such a strong backing cannot be used lightly, and it can only be used when the family encounters a great disaster.

The current situation is not yet the time for war.

"Patriarch, is the birthday gift for the Zhou family that thick?"

The relationship between Lu Yuan and the Zhou family is not as hostile as fire and water, but it is definitely not good. Giving expensive gifts always feels like aiding the enemy.

"A birthday gift from the Zhou family? The two families are hostile to each other at that time. It is enough for me to give him a dogtail grass. The big gift is for Master Chen. It would be good if I could send him off with money."

Lu Changfeng snorted. The Zhou family was nothing. What was important was Master Chen. The fact that he was born into the Guangxiu Immortal Sect and was an alchemist in Yaolu was enough to tie his hands and feet and make him dare not move.

With the size of the Lu family, if they were to touch such a person, they would have to die first. It would be right to send him back with a generous gift.

Except for the Lu family, all the immortal cultivation families within a hundred miles, and even beyond three hundred miles, received invitations from the Zhou family.

They were confused and at a loss for a moment, unable to understand what the Zhou family was planning, and they only felt that something big was going to happen.

At this time, the Zhou family, the instigator of the turmoil in this area, was extremely peaceful.

"Zhou Lie, what does the medicine house look like?"

A little girl in pink, with longing in her eyes, heard that the medicine house was an extremely mysterious place, and even the elders of the clan didn't quite understand it.

“It’s huge, and there are many alchemists.”

Zhou Lie waved his hand and tried his best to clear up the confusion for his little friend, but his vocabulary was not broad. He only knew that there were many alchemists, but he couldn't explain the rest.

"An alchemist is an extremely distinguished and important person."

Even so, the little girl in pink was still shocked. After all, they were alchemists, high-ranking figures. The Zhou family didn't have even one, but there was a group of them in the medicine house.

"Zhou Lie, will you become an alchemist in the future?"

Another little friend came up, wearing a tiger-head hat, and was very lively, playing and playing with Zhou Lie.

"Yes, the teacher is a very powerful alchemist, and I will naturally inherit the teacher's mantle."

Zhou Lie's expression was determined. He had witnessed how powerful his teacher was and he also longed to become like his teacher. No matter where he went in the future, he would be respected by everyone.

"That's great. From now on, our Zhou family will also have an alchemist."

A group of children were chattering, and the adults of the Zhou family next to them were all smiling and exclaiming that it was a great fortune.

They really admired the ancestor for his foresight. He saw at a glance that Master Chen was like a dormant dragon in the abyss. Once he soared to the sky, the Zhou family would also benefit from it.

"Next time we worship, we have to kowtow more."

Unfortunately, the ancestor is gone.

They have no way to show their filial piety, so they can only kowtow a few more times on the anniversary of the death to express their feelings.

"That person is nostalgic. I finally understand why the ancestor would spend half his life's favors on him and send him to the medicine house as a steward. He is indeed a noble person."

When talking about Mr. Chen, the Zhou family respected him very much, not because of his power, but because of his character.

Master Chen Dan has a very high status, but when he speaks to them, he is always very gentle, never condescending, and makes people respect him from the bottom of their hearts.

"After this, the Zhou family will be safe."

With this legacy, the Zhou family has no confusion about the future. They only think that there is a long way to go and they should treat it calmly.

Seven days.

Passed by in a flash.

The ninety-nine-year-old uncle of the Zhou family had a grand birthday celebration. Although he felt it was a pity that he lived a little too short, the grand ceremony seemed acceptable to him.

At this time, the Zhou family's gates were wide open and completely unguarded. The overall tone was festive, and there was a sense of grandeur.

The word "longevity" is written on red paper and fairy peaches are hung on the tree.

Preserved fruits and fine wines were served one by one.

In the Dafeng Valley, every palace was filled with tables and chairs for banquets, waiting for the guests to take their seats.

"Elder Liu, it's you who's here."

The head of the Zhou family stood in front of the door, welcoming the guests personally. His face was full of smiles that could not be concealed no matter how hard he tried.

The first guest was someone who had a connection with the Zhou family. He was extremely enthusiastic, came forward to greet them, and was very attentive.

"What's going on? You're in such a good mood."

Even if Elder Liu was blind, he could see that something was wrong with the head of the Zhou family, and his mouth was almost grinning from ear to ear.

He suddenly felt that he didn't know the head of the Zhou family well enough. He had previously thought that he was a serious person.

"I'll tell you later."

The Zhou family head said mysteriously.

The highlight is naturally the shocking one when it is revealed at the end.

Although Elder Liu was tempted, he still held back, walked aside and put the birthday gift down.

immediately……

"The Liu family's birthday gift is a 300-year-old mountain ginseng."

A sound was heard outside the door, and someone recorded it in the book.

The visitors and what they bring are all recorded, so we have a reference when we return the gifts in the future.

"A birthday gift for the Qing family, a first-grade top-grade star crystal dotted pill."

"The Feng family's birthday gift is a cub of the first-level monster Chong'er Bird."

"The Long family's birthday gift, a first-grade mid-quality Tian Ning fruit."

"The birthday gift from the Luo family is a dragon horse that can travel a thousand miles a day."

…

All kinds of birthday gifts have been recorded in the book, and the calendar official's brush is dancing in the air. There are really a lot of people coming today.

Then, there was a sudden silence in front of the Gale Valley.

"The Lu family is here!"

Several simple and majestic chariots rumbled across the earth, stirred up a cold wind, and rushed to the front of the Gale Valley.

Lu Changfeng brought Lu Yuan down with him. He valued the genius of this family very much and brought him here to broaden his horizons and temper his character.

Behind the two of them, there were a few masters of the Lu family. They had strong auras and murderous eyes, and they were not the kind of people who were just showing off.

"The Zhou family is really brave. They are not afraid of spilling blood at the birthday banquet."

The people of the Lu family are no ordinary people. They have brought together half of the family's elite members.

That’s right. If we openly come to the enemy’s lair without bringing some people, we will be easily dealt with.

There's something wrong with the Zhou family. Inviting the enemy family to their birthday party makes people feel that there's something else going on.

"Patriarch Zhou, how are you these days?"

Lu Tianfeng saw the head of the Zhou family at the gate at a glance. A harmonious look was revealed on his face, and his ability to handle situations was very advanced. He could still chat and laugh even in front of the enemy.

"Very well."

The head of the Zhou family was not bad either, with a smile on his face, but he was really happy and seemed even more enthusiastic.

Lu Tianfeng felt a little choked. He was unsure of the Zhou family head's mentality, so he ran to the side to test it.

“This is a birthday gift.”

He took out an extremely high-quality jade bottle from his embroidered sleeves and placed it on the desk.

"The Lu family's birthday gift, a bottle of... ordinary Qi Condensation Pills."

The Zhou family member in front of the door opened the jade bottle and was obviously stunned for a moment, but he quickly reacted and shouted the truth.

Swish, swish, swish…

Many eyes fell on Lu Tianfeng, some were surprised, some were admiring, and some were contemptuous.

Lu Tianfeng treated this calmly, without looking away, and had a sense of righteousness.

“This is too…”

The visitors couldn't think of a suitable word to describe Lu Tianfeng. Although he was very stingy, they felt it was reasonable when they thought that both sides were enemies.

"Patriarch Zhou, you won't just block Patriarch Lu back, will you?"

Some people just wanted to watch the fun and complained in their hearts, and some expected the head of the Zhou family to kick the Lu family members back on the spot.

After all, if the birthday gift was not presentable, the Zhou family would lose face.

Unexpectedly...

"Patriarch Lu, please."

The head of the Zhou family acted very indifferent. He glanced at Lu Tianfeng lightly, and a sense of superiority arose in his heart.

The pattern is small.

His family has now found a powerful figure, and is destined to expand beyond this small piece of land in the future. Lu Tianfeng is only capable of creating ripples in a small pond, but can't achieve anything big.

"It won't be a trick."

This glance made Lu Tianfeng's heart skip a beat.

It's so weird.

This week, the head of the Zhou family is either harboring a lot of evil intentions waiting for him inside, or he has become possessed and his brain has gone haywire.

Compared to the former, he naturally hopes it is the latter, but obviously, this is unlikely.

All I can say is that Master Chen Dan gave the other party too much courage.
