The sun was hanging high in the sky, but the shade of the old golden osmanthus tree was still cool and refreshing, with a lingering fragrance.
Several long tables were placed under the shade of the trees. Chu Tian sat in the host seat, while the heads of the five families, Hu, Zhan, Feng, Nan, and Guan, and several prominent figures sat in the guest seats. A grand banquet was in full swing.
All the ingredients for the banquet were transported by people from the five major families on flying boats. There were all kinds of rare and exotic seafood, exotic mountain delicacies, all kinds of fresh fruits and exotic flowers that Chu Tian had only seen in the ancient books of Changchun Valley, and all kinds of exquisite delicacies that could be named or not. There were probably thousands of flavors.
Chu Yaya was weak, and after just a quick taste of two or three delicacies, she felt so full of the rich spiritual essence of heaven and earth in the food that her face turned red. She sat in her seat, trying her best to digest the food, and was speechless for a while.
Chu Tian's body was so strong that he chatted and laughed with the five family heads while savoring all kinds of delicacies that contained the essence of heaven and earth. Currents of heat flowed through his body, and after the meal, his physical strength increased a bit.
Hu Dali was worthy of being the Lingxiao White Tiger. His stomach and intestines seemed to be connected to another world. He turned into a burly man about three meters tall. He sat at the long table and ate and drank a lot. The amount of food he swallowed was three to five times more than all the people present combined.
There was no sign of abnormality on Hu Dali's face. Instead, his aura became more powerful and fierce. It was obvious that the food he ate was rapidly transforming into his strength. This made Hu Qianshan, who was sitting next to him, sigh with admiration and envy his gifted white tiger body.
While chatting and laughing, Chu Tian and the heads of the five major families had reached a tacit understanding.
In the future, the five major families will not easily disturb Chu Tian’s meditation, but if Chu Tian refines any finished elixirs, they will be handed over to the five major families for internal distribution, and the five major families will purchase them at the most favorable price.
The five great families will fully support Chu Tian's cultivation. All his normal cultivation needs, including daily living expenses, will be provided by the five great families free of charge. In exchange, every three years, the five great families will have an opportunity to unconditionally ask Chu Tian to make pills for them.
In order to strengthen the connection and relationship between Chu Tian and the five great families, the five great families sent twelve outstanding young men to live in Hancui Cliff and let Chu Tian command them. If Chu Tian wanted to recruit disciples, his disciples would be selected from these sixty men first.
There is no need to waste words on the various details and clauses. In short, Chu Tian has been officially recognized by the five major families. He has a solid enough backing in the Windless Canyon and has established roots in the Windless Canyon.
The spiritual forces, big and small, in Windless Valley have always followed the lead of the five major families.
The heads of the five major families, including Hu Baichuan, visited the new alchemist, Mr. Xiaotian. It was unknown how many people saw this. Combined with the news from the Alchemist Guild, the spiritual practitioners in the Windless Valley suddenly understood - oh, it turned out that the arrogant, greedy, lustful, domineering and price-raising Master Qiao had suffered a loss at the hands of the new Mr. Xiaotian?
As a result, many large and small spiritual cultivation families began to spread the news to each other - it seems that Mr. Xiaotian’s attainments in alchemy are very strong!
——Isn’t it? After all, heroes emerge from youth. Although alchemy is a matter that requires experience and skill, perhaps Mr. Xiaotian is gifted?
——Ha, with Mr. Xiaotian in charge, the price of our Windless Canyon's high-end elixirs should be able to come down a bit, right?
——Oh? What does this mean?
——Well, let me tell you, it is said that Mr. Xiaotian sold a bottle of Millennium Pill at a low price as soon as he arrived at the Windless Canyon!
——Oh? There is such a thing? What a pity, what a pity, Mr. Xiaotian is alone, how many furnaces of elixirs can he refine in a year? There are so many people in the Windless Valley, and the amount of elixirs needed every year is really not small!
——Stupid, Mr. Xiaotian can recruit disciples! In a few years, Mr. Xiaotian's disciples will be able to refine some basic and commonly used elixirs. As long as Mr. Xiaotian recruits hundreds of disciples, hehe, how many elixirs can they refine in a year?
——But, does Mr. Xiaotian accept disciples?
——Should I accept it? At least it won’t be as harsh and unkind as those old guys, right?
As a result, the spiritual forces in Windless Valley, especially those around Windless City, heard the news and took action. They selected young and outstanding members of their own clansmen with strong cultivation, dressed them up neatly and made them look energetic, prepared generous gifts, and prepared to visit Mr. Xiaotian at Hancui Cliff.
If we can get Mr. Xiaotian to accept his clansmen as his disciples, we can have one or two more alchemists...
Ugh, by then, Master Qiao and his group of greedy, lustful, and domineering old guys will sooner or later be stabbed in the heart from behind!
There was a sense of unrest in the Windless Canyon, and all kinds of rumors and gossip were flying around.
Under the management of Master Qiao, the Alchemist Guild of Windless City has become quite powerful. Many spiritual forces are trying to curry favor with them, so their tentacles have extended to all directions of Windless City. Although they cannot cover the entire Windless Canyon, they can still know any disturbance in Windless City.
In a quiet room of the Alchemist Guild, all the maids, servants, followers, and disciples were driven out. A faint light flowed on the walls, ceiling, and floor. A layer of dark light formed a big net, tightly wrapping the entire quiet room.
The quiet room was isolated from the outside world. Not even a fly could get in or out. No word of what was happening in the room could be heard outside.
Master Qiao and the three old alchemists who were his closest confidants were sitting in a quiet room. Each of them held a cup of tea in his hand and sat there quietly without saying a word.
Countless herbs, pictures and texts flashed through their minds. They racked their brains to ponder all the pharmacopoeias and secret recipes they had learned in their lives, trying to find any clues that might be related to Thousand Insect Powder!
However, the game work of a certain elder in the mountain gate of Taiyi Qingling Sect was just recorded in the classics of Taiyi Qingling Sect as an interesting little thing. The outside world has never had a copy of the secret medicine of Qianchong Powder. They almost exhausted their efforts, but still could not think of anything useful.
After sitting there for a full hour, Master Qiao wiped the hot sweat from his forehead and finally gave a helpless smile: "Hey, let this boy become famous!"
The three old alchemists gritted their teeth, picked up the teacups, and poured the already cold tea into their mouths.
An old alchemist heavily spat out a piece of tea leaves in his mouth and sneered, "Damn it, damn it, those five of them ran to Hancui Cliff with eager eyes, what are they doing? What are they doing? They are slapping us in the face, giving us a hard time!"
"Do they think that a young brat who has just arrived here can replace our Windless City Alchemist Guild? They wishful thinking, but that kid has to be lucky to have such a chance!" Another old alchemist screamed at the top of his lungs.
"Master Qiao, we can't just sit there and wait for that kid to become big! If he recruits enough disciples... this, this!" The last old alchemy master screamed at Master Qiao in agony.
