Chapter 362: Grand Historian's Night Banquet
The moment the formation was opened, Li Weiyi retreated quickly, took a detour and rushed back to Yunxiufang, not wanting to be followed.
Using the All Things Staff Spear in public is not a big deal.
He only made one move, which was covered by the ghost fog and the dazzling light. Regardless of whether anyone noticed it, even if someone did, Li Weiyi was not afraid at all, having thought of all possible consequences.
What happened in Tanyuefang in the afternoon spread quickly, and the entire Lingxiao City was in an uproar.
But the main topic was about Song Qingli.
In the evening, the current head of the Taishi family, "Taishi Chengdao", held a grand welcoming banquet at the ancestral mansion for the guests and spiritual masters from Nanyan Pass.
Hundreds of servants and maids were coming and going, quickly delivering meals, precious medicines, magical fruits, and thousand-year-old wines.
There are also soups made from thousand-year-old medicinal herbs and dishes cooked with the meat of immortal monsters.
For a family that has existed for a thousand years, only the descendants of the immortal giants are the main line, and the rest are collateral branches. As for the descendants of Chaoran... the entire family is the descendants of Chaoran.
Currently, in the Taishi family, there are only two main branches, Taishi Qingcang and Taishi Qingshi, both of whom are in the position of masters.
However, Taishi Qingcang has to guard Nanyan Pass, and there are very few descendants within three generations, so most of the people in the ancestral mansion are from Taishi Qingshi's lineage.
As for the ancestor who lived for thousands of years, Taishigong, he actually spent most of his time in Yongzhou in the east, which was the ancestral home and foundation of the Taishi family.
That's right, almost all the officials in Yong and Liang states were from the Taishi family.
For example, the Jiang family in Fuzhou and the Chen family in Youzhou.
Apart from the three palace masters who live in seclusion, the only people who really stay in Lingxiao City for a long time are "Ye Xuanming", the blood-clothed chief of the Embroidered Divine Guards, and "Cao Caishen" of the Gonghu Division.
Taishi Chengdao is 72 years old this year. Logically, he should have abdicated long ago and devoted all his energy to achieving immortality, allowing the current Jiashou to serve as the head of the family.
But Tai Shi Yu was frivolous and cynical. He had no interest in family affairs and refused to take over.
At the banquet, Li Weiyi enjoyed the top treatment of sitting at the main table with Taishi Chengdao, Taishi Bai, and Long Xiangcen. Just because he blocked Taishi Yu's telekinetic shout, everyone looked at him with admiration.
His talent and strength were recognized, thus he had the qualification to sit at the same table with the heads of the world's top families, surpassing other guests.
Taishi Chengdao sighed, "Xiaobai, you have to practice quickly and condense the Dao Fruit as soon as possible, so that I can unload the burden on you. If you delay any longer, after you turn eighty, the time to break through to the realm of immortality will become more urgent. Now is different from the past. Lingxiao Palace has no immortality pills, and Du'e Temple has sent them to Zuoqiumen."
Tai Shi Bai asked with concern: "Second uncle hasn't come back yet?"
"The Second Palace Master summoned us personally, he must be asking about the Zi Mu Spring. I heard that all the great leaders of the Longevity Realm from various families were summoned to Luantai." Taishi Chengdao looked worried.
There was some discussion, talking about what happened in Tanyuefang in the afternoon.
Li Weiyi frowned and said, "Everyone has heard the news. Is this incident so influential?"
Everyone present was unaware that the other protagonist of the incident was sitting next to them.
One of the white-haired retainers said solemnly, "It is said that the ghost baby incident started to appear two months ago, but they were all rumors. Everyone just regarded them as rumors. But this time, it happened in Tanyuefang and appeared in front of everyone. How can this be covered up?"
Someone else said, "What's more, the person who has the problem is the top expert of the younger generation of the West Sea Palace, the favorite fifth-generation granddaughter of the West Sea King, and the disciple of the Third Palace Master. The impact is so great that I'm afraid the news will soon spread to all twenty-eight states in the world."
Taishi Bai said solemnly, "The day after tomorrow is Song Yulou's 60th birthday. He is the leader of the Ten Talents of Lingxiao City and the strongest person below the Immortal Realm according to the Jiazi Book. Originally, the West Sea Palace must have been full of guests, and every family in Lingxiao City would go to congratulate him. But there is such a scandal. Will the birthday party still be held?"
Li Weiyi underestimated the impact of this incident and felt that his identity would most likely be revealed soon.
Outside the palace where the banquet was held, hearty laughter rang out: "The 60th birthday party has been prepared for several months, how can it be cancelled? I just went to the West Sea Palace, and Miss Song has regained some consciousness. As long as she is fully awake and appears at the birthday party, the rumors will be refuted. Who can prove that the person who appeared in Tanyuefang was not a disguised person?"
Tai Shiyu walked in and said with a smile: "Everyone, I treat you as my own family, so I speak frankly. If you spread this, you will no longer be a member of the Taishi family."
He glanced at everyone, memorizing the subtle changes in everyone's expressions, and then said, "It is said that after the ghost baby incident broke out, Song Qingli was confined to his house. The reason why he appeared in Danyuefang today was because someone in the palace instigated him, and something strange happened on the way. When I went there, there were more than ten human heads in the courtyard. Xihai Palace purged many people inside."
Everyone could hear that Tai Shi Yu's tone was not right, as if he was hinting at something.
For a moment, the atmosphere at the banquet became strange.
Taishi Bai's face was grim: "Taishi Yu, are you saying that there is something wrong with the guests I brought with me?"
"I didn't say that."
Tai Shi Yu chuckled, walked to the main table, knocked on the head of an old guest next to Li Weiyi, and signaled him to stand up.
The old man didn't dare to offend him and got up and left.
Tai Shiyu sat down and continued, "But the demons have returned and stationed troops in the western border. The tombstones and graves planted by the evil cult are spread all over several states. Zuoqiu Menting has the support of Du'e Temple and is ambitious. Xuejian Tangting is leading troops from the five states in the northern border and is ready to march south at any time."
"The Taishi family is in charge of Lingxiao City and half of the defense formations of the four major passes. They also control the two states of Yongliang. They are extremely powerful. It is normal for some people with ulterior motives to sneak in."
Tai Shi Bai said: "Are you targeting me or my people?"
Tai Shiyu shook his head and smiled, "Brother Bai, I am not targeting you. Someone is targeting my Taishi family. Why did something happen in Taichang Temple? If something happened in Taichang Temple, it could delay my father and make him anxious."
"Why was Liangzhou City attacked by the demon tribe? Because it could hold our ancestor back and prevent him from returning to Lingxiao City."
"I just want to say one thing. If the people you brought with you disappear or die inexplicably, don't get angry. If the two of us fight, it will be considered a family strife, and I don't know how many people will secretly cheer for us."
Li Weiyi was secretly surprised. This chief historian didn't seem to be as frivolous as he appeared. But he suddenly made it clear in front of everyone. What did he mean? Did he see something and wanted to lure the snake out of its hole? The head of the family, Taishi Chengdao, quickly stood up to smooth things over and ease the atmosphere. He ordered the maid to present the welcome gifts prepared for all the spiritualists and guests.
Every spiritual master has a Star Day Pill, which is worth 100,000 Yongquan coins.
Each retainer received a thousand-year-old medicinal herb, which was worth 100,000 Yongquan coins.
The soil in Lingxiao City is extraordinary, and the growth rate of medicinal herbs is much faster than anywhere else.
A transcendent clan like the Taishi family can receive some fairy soil from the Lingxiao Palace every year. The fairy soil can increase the growth rate of medicinal materials tenfold.
The clan, which has been passed down for thousands of years, has its own medicinal fields and grows a lot of new medicines every year.
People today take ancient medicine.
Thousands of years from now, our descendants will eat the new medicine planted today.
How could there be a shortage of thousand-year-old medicine? A welcoming banquet, due to Tai Shiyu's interference, naturally ended in unhappiness.
"Most of the imperial court's Xingri Pills are made by the Taishi family. If they are purchased by retainers, they should be able to get a preferential price. The Taishi family's talisman and formation manuals are also worth reading. Look for one or two battle talismans and battle formations, and make them for future use."
Li Weiyi returned to Weiyiju with the Xingzhou Pill.
Xing Zhou Dan is a top-grade magic pill, several to ten times stronger than the Xihe Dan he refined. If he wants to quickly cultivate to the peak of a five-star spiritual master, he must take the former.
After entering the blood mud space, Li Weiyi, as usual, immediately activated the Taoist Tai Chi Fish to condense a cocoon of time, but he forgot that Tang Wanzhou had already woken up.
Li Weiyi, who was sitting cross-legged in the cocoon, took out various top-grade talisman-making materials he had purchased and placed them in front of him.
Use the blood of ancient immortal beasts, immortal soil, etc. to prepare talisman juice.
Suddenly.
The cocoon of time shook, and a slender, snow-white arm reached out.
“Wow!”
Tang Wanzhou walked in with one hand behind his back, his eyes full of curiosity. Then, he stretched out another hand to carefully sense the mystery of the power of time.
Li Weiyi's eyes narrowed, and he quickly put the Taoist Tai Chi Fish into his clothes.
"The difference between internal and external time is about five times, I see. I was saying that my cultivation speed is the best in the world, so why are you faster than me? The answer is here."
Tang Wanzhou smiled suddenly, sat down opposite Li Weiyi, and said, "I want to practice in here too..."
“Bang!”
The cocoon of time collapsed, like a bubble bursting.
Li Weiyi closed his eyes and sighed: "Young Master, your cultivation is too high. With my current mental power, I cannot support you to enter the Cocoon of Time for cultivation."
Tang Wanzhou made his own judgment: "Since the strength of this time cocoon is closely related to your telekinesis. You are now a five-star spiritualist, so you can already hold on for a while. When you become a six-star spiritualist, you will definitely be able to support me while practicing in the cocoon. How long will it take for you to break through?"
"I just broke through!"
Li Weiyi smiled bitterly and said, "It's not that easy to practice as a mind master."
Tang Wanzhou frowned in thought, his neck was slender, his hands were placed on his knees, he sat upright, with the aura of a strong man: "I don't know much about telekinesis, so I can't help you... Hey, I remember that the Polar Daylight Dew seems to be an important resource for telekinesis masters to practice. I was in the sea very close to the Fusang Sacred Tree, and I saw some floating in the sky above the sea."
"Why didn't you say so earlier?"
Li Weiyi stood up suddenly, took her wrist, and went towards Tangguhai.
Li Weiyi did not have the same awe for the famous young master as the martial artists in the northern border, and did not think that there was anything that could not be offended. He felt that she had a good personality, was open-minded and generous, and was not fussy about details.

It's the end of the month, please give me votes for next month...
