At the main table, Tianjizi stood up first and invited everyone to raise their glasses to congratulate the Cangxia Sect for successfully joining the Immortal Alliance.
The nine members of the Immortal Alliance, no matter what they were thinking, all raised their glasses with smiles to congratulate Lu Qing.
"Thank you all."
Lu Qing held the wine glass, bowed to everyone, and drank it all in one gulp.
After drinking the spiritual wine, a rich spiritual energy as lively as a fish coming ashore spread along the throat to the spiritual sea, almost bursting the spiritual sea.
The alcohol instantly took over.
Lu Qing himself couldn't help but frown.
Fortunately, he knew he would be drinking tonight, so he bought a hangover-relieving pill in the mall in advance and swallowed it.
The pill is worth nearly six hundred tokens, and it’s so effective!
The alcohol slowly dissipated, and even the swelling spiritual energy in the spiritual sea relaxed a lot.
After a few glasses of wine, it shouldn't be difficult for Lu Qing to break through to the fourth level of Qi Refining.
"I can't hold my liquor, sorry for the embarrassment." Lu Qing put down his wine glass with a smile.
"Don't worry, Fellow Daoist Lu. This wine is called Drunken Immortal. Even the Taoist fellow who has the best alcohol tolerance at this table can only drink two kilograms at most." Tianjizi said with a smile.
It is difficult to get a great cultivator drunk with spiritual wine, but the Drunken Immortal is an exception.
The drunkenness brought by Zuixian Wine is difficult to eliminate even with the best hangover remedies.
The old man who was planting trees smiled awkwardly and muttered, "How can I get two kilograms of wine..."
"There are several jars of Millennium Drunken Immortal in Linjiang City. If you are greedy, you can ask the Emperor of Chu for them." Wei Erzhu, who was sitting next to Lu Qing, interjected.
"The monkey wine brewed by the brewing monkeys in my Wanshu Palace is not much worse than that of the Drunken Immortal!"
The Great Chu Dynasty, because it feeds hundreds of millions of ordinary people, has a huge demand for food and needs to make the most of the limited arable land. The crop seeds, cultivation methods and yield-increasing spells of Wanshu Palace are all what the Great Chu Dynasty desires.
The more ordinary people there are, the more people who can practice Taoism.
Therefore, Linjiang City can use monks to form an army.
However, Wanshu Palace would never easily exchange such secrets.
The Millennium Drunken Immortal is priceless, but it is unwise to pass on the sect's skills to others just to satisfy your appetite.
"Master Lu, I offer you a toast."
"I'll toast you too."
The other members of the meeting also raised their glasses and toasted Lu Qing. After the toast, they quickly signaled the monks from the Ministry of Rites to fill their glasses immediately.
It is hard not to suspect that they are interested in this Drunken Immortal.
However, Zhang Shu of the Tianchen Sword Sect was drinking alone. Previously, due to Han Huohuo's instigation, he had misjudged the Cangxia Sect and was thus played around by the Cangxia Sect's powerful figures without any respect for martial ethics.
If it were an ordinary sword cultivator, he would probably rush up and fight to the death with the Cangxia Sect.
Zhang Shu is known as the Book and Sword Immortal, so he does have some brains.
It is impossible to swallow your pride and apologize.
The Tianchen Sword Sect is poised to become the leader of Zhongfu Prefecture. If Zhang Shu apologizes, it would be a sign of weakness, which is not in the interests of the sect.
Therefore, Zhang Shu had to find a way to not only save the sect's reputation but also resolve the conflict with the Cangxia Sect. If that wasn't possible, then at least he had to position the Cangxia Sect as a challenger one level lower than the Tianchen Sword Sect.
Unfortunately, this Cangxia Sect actually brought out a powerful person...
The Tianchen Sword Sect also had many powerful ancestors, but some of them traveled the Nine Provinces, while others were completely detached from worldly affairs and devoted to the pursuit of the Dao. Only one or two of them were willing to pay attention to their younger generation.
Moreover, he would not show up unless it was a major matter.
The Cangxia Sect joining the Immortal Alliance is a major event, so it's no wonder they asked the ancestor to come out...
Although it is a bit troublesome, Zhang Shu is not afraid.
Because he knew that the reason why those who had reached the level of Divine Transformation and above rarely interfered with the outside world was because they were afraid of being contaminated by karma. When karma accumulated, overcoming the tribulation would become extremely difficult, and it might even come early.
Therefore, almost no powerful person is willing to show up in public.
Unless, like in Chiyan Mountain, one encounters a treasure like the Jianmu Jieshu, which is of great benefit to oneself and the sect!
If it weren't for this reason, the first cultivator to reach a high level could even use his absolute strength to establish a system and drive all the cultivators in the world to serve him.
It is absolutely impossible to form the current situation in Zhongfuzhou where there are numerous large and small mountain gates and a hundred flowers blooming.
Compared to Zhang Shu, Han Huohuo of Chiyan Mountain was very obviously uneasy.
For Lu Qing, the pressure of dealing with this banquet was no different from a new player running up the mountain.
Zuixian is delicious, but every time I drink a cup, it feels like I’m forcing myself to eat a chicken drumstick when I’m full.
If it weren't for the hangover elixir to help him neutralize the effects of the alcohol, Lu Qing would probably have passed away from the alcohol.
He drank glass after glass of wine.
Lu Qing felt extremely uncomfortable drinking every cup, and the pain he felt could not be concealed at all.
At first, the council members really thought that Lu Qing couldn't drink much.
Zhang Shu also planned to make a fuss about drinking to suppress the Cangxia Sect.
However, the wine continued to flow down one glass after another.
When the Thatched Old Man had waved his hand to stop the monk from the Ministry of Rites from pouring the wine, Lu Qing, still with a painful look on his face, drank a cup of Drunken Immortal.
The council members finally reacted.
This Lu Qing is pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger!!!
He is pretending!!!
Wow!!! This is so realistic, isn’t it?!
No one present at the meeting thought Lu Qing was cheating!
Because every cup of Zuixian he drank seemed like the last one!
It was as if he would lean back in his chair and pass out if he put down his glass!
