Feng Shao entertained the Taiwei Sect's entourage at the City Lord's Mansion.
The current City Lord's Mansion is a huge manor that occupies half a block of land, which can accommodate tens of thousands of people at the same time. On both sides of the City Lord's Mansion, there are many buildings such as training rooms, martial arts training rooms, foundries, and alchemy rooms. Behind the City Lord's Mansion is a large spiritual plantation covering an area of more than 40 hectares, where various herbs are planted.
In other words, all the resources and venues needed for cultivation are basically surrounded by the City Lord's Mansion.
Feng Shao was very happy to see his fellow apprentices again after several months, and he immediately ordered his servants to prepare a grand banquet to welcome them. Before the banquet began, he took everyone on a tour around the City Lord's Mansion.
The size of the City Lord's Mansion was beyond everyone's imagination. At least the Taiwei Sect disciples who were used to a poor life on Taiwei Mountain had never seen such a magnificent house. They were dazzled by the sight and envied the eldest brother. They also secretly admired that he could build such a family business.
Especially when they arrived at the large spiritual plant garden behind the City Lord's Mansion, everyone was stunned.
They had never seen such a large spiritual garden and so many spiritual medicines in their lives!
It must be said that Lin Fengtian's decision to move Qingxing Hall here was extremely wise. These days, when Jia Chan was tending to these spiritual medicines, she couldn't help but sigh inwardly at the unique advantages of this place.
The growth of spiritual medicine has extremely high requirements for the environment. First of all, there must be spiritual energy, and it must be a certain concentration of spiritual energy. Different spiritual medicines have different requirements for the concentration of spiritual energy. Generally speaking, the more concentrated the spiritual energy required, the higher the value of the spiritual medicine.
Donghua Mountain, where Yunjian Pavilion is located, stretches for thousands of miles, and there are two major forces located in it. One is naturally Yunjian Pavilion, and the other is Longhua Temple. The two major forces, one in the south and one in the north, occupy the two places with the richest spiritual energy in Donghua Mountain. But even so, these two major forces often feel that the spiritual energy is not enough and there are too few places with rich spiritual energy.
Take Yunjian Pavilion as an example. It covers an area of more than 100 hectares, but the place with the most concentrated spiritual energy is only one hectare. In this hectare, there are densely packed spiritual plant gardens, spiritual beast gardens, training rooms, and spiritual gathering towers, which are used not only to grow spiritual medicines and raise spiritual beasts, but also to practice. Not only that, there is a limit on the number of people who can enter to practice each time. Exceeding the limit will greatly affect the efficiency of absorbing spiritual energy.
In the entire Yunjian Pavilion, except for Pavilion Master Lin Fengtian, Xiaoyao Hall Master Xiao Ruoyao, and Lengyue Hall Master Leng Lingyue, everyone has limited opportunities to practice in it. Take Suzaku Hall Master Di Yu as an example, he can practice in it for three days every month. As an elder of Yunjian Pavilion, Di Yu only has so many opportunities to practice, let alone others.
This is also the reason why spiritual medicines and spiritual beasts are so precious.
But in Wuling City, the situation is quite different.
The spiritual energy in Wuling City is all natural spiritual energy directly extracted from the ground. It is extremely rich and must be diluted before it can be used. This means that as long as the spiritual energy mine is used, a venue with any spiritual energy concentration can be created anywhere in Wuling City.
Not long after Qingxingtang moved in, Feng Shao helped Jia Chan open up a large spiritual plant garden behind the City Lord's Mansion.
The entire spiritual plantation covers an area of more than 40 hectares, with a prototype artificial lake in the center. There is an island in the center of the artificial lake, and on the island are planted the seeds of the Enlightenment Tree that Feng Shao obtained from Zuo Linglan. At present, the Enlightenment Tree has just sprouted, and the effect has not yet been revealed. However, with the continuous irrigation of spiritual energy, the Enlightenment Tree grows very fast, and it will surely be effective in a short time.
Aquatic spiritual medicines were planted on the lake, such as the Nine-Child Buddha Lotus that Feng Shao obtained from the Lower Realm. Land spiritual medicines were planted densely in rows around the artificial lake. Various spiritual plants were planted in different areas based on their different needs for spiritual energy.
On the other side of the spiritual garden, there are several spiritual beasts. Some of these spiritual beasts are used as combat partners, some as mounts, and some for medicinal purposes. Currently, there are not many spiritual beasts raised here, and they are mainly used for experiments to test whether the environment here is suitable for raising spiritual beasts in large quantities.
However, Feng Shao's plan was to find another place to breed spirit beasts after completing the experiment. After all, these spirit beasts were tall and strong, and many of them were carnivorous. Only a few hundred meters away from them was the City Lord's Mansion. What if Feng Shao and Lin Xiaoran's child was born in the future and accidentally broke into the spirit beast garden and got hurt by the spirit beasts?
All in all, this area of over 40 hectares of rich spiritual energy is a luxury no matter where it is placed, and Yunjian Pavilion is no exception. Therefore, Lin Fengtian has decided that the work of growing spiritual medicines and raising spiritual beasts will be directly handed over to Feng Shao.
Looking at row after row of spiritual herbs and feeling the rich spiritual energy that permeates the air, the Taiwei Sect disciples were shocked beyond words.
At that moment, a disciple couldn't help but ask, "Brother Feng, can I practice here?"
Feng Shao glanced at him, then turned his gaze to the crowd. Everyone's face was full of anticipation, even Du Yuanxi was no exception.
Feng Shao laughed and said, "Of course you can! But this place is not suitable for cultivation. I have built another training room specifically for cultivation, and the conditions are much better than here. After we all finish our meal today, I will take you there to have a look."
All the disciples showed joy on their faces and cheered loudly: "Long live Senior Brother Feng!"
At the hour of You, the dinner was finally ready. Everyone followed Feng Shao to the banquet hall, and saw countless delicacies at a glance. The tempting aroma filled the hall, making people salivate.
Feng Shao smiled at everyone and said, "Okay, everyone is starving, right? Find a place and eat whatever you want! Just treat it as your own home, don't be polite! If it's not enough, tell me and I'll ask the kitchen to make more!"
In order to entertain these junior brothers and sisters he had brought up, Feng Shao specifically asked the chef to slaughter several spiritual beasts specifically for consumption. Cooking these spiritual beasts not only greatly improved cultivation and physical fitness, but also tasted much more delicious than ordinary poultry.
After everyone cheered, they took their seats and couldn't wait to devour the food.
This delicacy made from the flesh of spiritual beasts had an extraordinary taste. As soon as they took a bite, everyone was fascinated by the taste and couldn't help but show an intoxicated look on their faces.
Taiwei Sect had limited conditions and could only provide limited spiritual food. In the past, in order to satisfy the diet of the sect disciples, Feng Shao often led people down the mountain to various secret places to hunt spiritual beasts and demon beasts, but the harvest was limited, and it might not be possible for everyone to eat once a year or two. Occasionally, when a spiritual beast was hunted back, each person could only get a small piece.
At that time, Feng Shao secretly swore in his heart: When I have money in the future, I must take my fellow junior brothers and sisters out to eat their fill!
Now, Feng Shao has fulfilled his original oath.
Du Yuanxi couldn't help but hold her forehead when she saw this scene. She smiled bitterly and said to Feng Shao: "These little guys have been spoiled by you! This meal must cost a lot of money, right? You are just starting your career now, so it's not a good idea to spend so much money, right?"
Feng Shao shook his head and smiled, "In the past, we didn't have the conditions, so it was rare for everyone to have such a meal. This time, I, as the eldest brother, have become rich. If I don't treat everyone to a good meal, wouldn't it be unfair to them for calling me 'eldest brother'?"
Du Yuanxi was speechless and could only say: "You, you, just spoil them!"
It was the first time for everyone to have such a sumptuous dinner, and they ate with their mouths full of grease and their faces wide open. This scene looked quite indecent, but Feng Shao was smiling and didn't care at all.
At this time, the second disciple Cao Guang suddenly asked, "By the way, Senior Brother Feng, why don't you see Senior Sister-in-law?"
When the word "teacher's wife" is mentioned, many people can't help but say:
"Yes, Senior Brother, where is the Senior Sister-in-law?"
"Big Brother, please call my sister-in-law out. I want to give her a toast!"
"Brother Feng, your big day will come in a few days. I, your junior brother, would like to congratulate you here first!"
Feng Shao waved his hand and said with a smile: "Your sister-in-law is pregnant and cannot meet guests. There will be plenty of opportunities to meet you in the future."
Gao Yi exclaimed, "Master's wife is pregnant? Does that mean Master Brother is going to be a father?"
"Congratulations, Senior Brother! Congratulations, Senior Brother!"
"Brother Feng, you are amazing! You gave birth to a little nephew for us without any notice!"
Amid the congratulations and cheers of the crowd, Gao Yi fumbled around for a while before pulling out a piece of dark yellow metal. He said with a look of shame on his face, "Big Brother, I didn't know you were going to have a child, so I didn't have time to prepare a gift. This piece of black gold was obtained by chance a few days ago. If you don't mind, use it to make a longevity lock for the child!"
Feng Shao took the black gold handed over by Gao Yi, identified it with the Tianhua Jade Slip, and immediately recognized that it was the Sun Black Gold.
Sun Black Gold contains the energy of the sun and is a yang metal. Feng Shao's Golden Crow Sword is made of Sun Black Gold. This metal is extremely rare, expensive, and has always been in short supply. I didn't expect that this noble and low-key person could actually come up with such a precious gift!
Feng Shao shook his head and said, "Second Junior Brother, your Sun Black Gold is too valuable. I cannot accept it. You should take it back! Senior Brother is already very happy that you can come to attend his wedding. Gifts are just a token of appreciation. You should save some good things for yourselves for future cultivation!"
Gao Yi said anxiously: "It's just a piece of black gold, why don't you accept it, Senior Brother?"
Feng Shao smiled bitterly: "Second Junior Brother, this Sun Black Gold is your opportunity. If you can sell it, you can get a lot of cultivation resources in exchange. How can you give away such a valuable item so easily?"
Gao Yi disagreed: "No matter how valuable this black gold is, it has a price. But the care and dedication that Senior Brother has given us over the years is priceless! Please accept it! If you don't accept it, then you don't care about the friendship between us brothers!"
Feng Shao couldn't help but glared at him: "How can you talk like that? I'm your senior brother, can I accept your junior brother's things?"
"In other sects, it's common for senior brothers to take things from junior brothers. What's so strange about that?"
"They are them, and I am me. I said no, and that means no! If you insist on giving it to me, then don't come to my place anymore!"
After hearing what Feng Shao said, Gao Yi had no choice but to put the black gold away awkwardly.
But he still couldn't help but complain: "Big Brother, you are good in every way, but sometimes, you are too stubborn!"
The others looked at Feng Shao and nodded.
Feng Shao said unhappily: "Eat yours!"
