Chapter 428: Apprenticeship Feast 1
Chapter 428: Apprenticeship Feast 1
"Wangxian Tower in the ancient city of Guye!"
After coming to their senses, the guests quickly recognized that they were already in the Wangxian Tower in Guye City.
The Xue Xuan Sect did not hold the banquet within the sect, but instead arranged it in the city of Guye. It turned out that they made this trip only to watch the ceremony but not to have a meal on someone else's turf.
Yu Qingchi drank a glass of wine and said to the surprised people, "No one in our Xuexuan Sect usually eats firewood, so we can't cook a lot of dishes in the sect. Although the apprenticeship banquet is held in a restaurant in the city, all the ingredients and drinks are provided by our Xuexuan Sect. I hope everyone will enjoy it."
"Let's have a party."
"Open the banquet and serve the food."
The shopkeeper standing nearby immediately gave loud orders.
When the first dish was served, those who had been complaining immediately shut up when they saw the spiritual energy emanating from the food.
It truly is worthy of being the most powerful sect in the world of cultivation. They actually use high-level spiritual herbs and fruits combined with monster meat to make dishes. This is not eating vegetables, it is clearly swallowing up spiritual energy raw.
When the servant of Shichu filled the cups with liquid, the shopkeeper said loudly: "Xue Zun is delighted to have a beloved disciple, and specially gave everyone a cup of fairy dew. Please taste it slowly. I hope that my beloved disciple will ascend to the fairyland as soon as possible and benefit all living beings."
They originally thought that it was wine brewed from magical fruits and herbs, but unexpectedly it was actually a cup of magical dew. Everyone was overjoyed and happily picked up the cups.
"Don't drink!"
When Wang Ci, Ye Qingse's family of three, and Xie Jiang were about to drink, Youhuang's voice rang in their ears.
The four of them were surprised, but Youhuang must have her reasons for asking them not to drink. If they didn't drink, it would arouse suspicion from others, so they picked up the cups and pretended to drink, but actually poured it secretly into their sleeves.
Youhuang thought about how she once took a bath in the elixir. Others could drink her bath water, but these four people treated her differently, so it was better not to drink it.
"I arrived late and missed the ceremony. I wonder if I can ask for a cup of celestial dew."
"This flower master is also late, and I also want to ask for a cup of fairy dew. Snow Lord, please don't be stingy."
Before everyone had time to drink, they heard two cheerful voices. They put down their cups and looked in the direction where the voices came from.
Youhuang looked up and saw two fairy-like figures, a man and a woman, flying towards the Wangxian Tower, one in front and one behind. Youhuang recognized the man, as Venerable Tianle from the Shengyin Sect.
As for the woman who calls herself the Flower Master, she should be Xiang Rujun, the leader of the Baihua Sect. I originally thought that the two of them did not come to watch the ceremony because their disciple was disappointed with Xue Zun, but I didn't expect them to show up at the time of the banquet. I guess they are also people who are afraid of trouble.
"It is my honor to have Venerable Tianle and Lord Baihua here in person."
Xue Zun said words of welcome but did not move his body. However, given his cultivation and status, naturally no one dared to receive his greetings.
Lu Shutong had a high level of cultivation but he could not be arrogant. After all, unlike the other four sects, their leaders were present in person. In order to give enough face to Xue Xuanzong and Xue Zun, he stood up to greet them with the two peak masters.
"Huang'er, go and see Venerable Tianle and the Lord of Flowers."
While Youhuang was still curious, he heard Xue Zun's instructions and walked over to pay respect to the two seniors.
"Junior pays homage to Venerable Tianle!"
"Greetings to the Lord of Flowers!"
Venerable Tianle recognized Youhuang and said with a smile, "Little girl, it turns out to be you."
"Have you ever practiced any musical instrument?" Venerable Tianle asked with a smile on his face. Youhuang didn't think much about it and said, "Your Excellency, I have practiced the seven-stringed guqin for a few days, but I only know a little bit about the fingering."
"Xue Zun has great attainments in music. As his disciple, you must be familiar with music."
Venerable Tianle took out an ancient zither and said, "This zither is called Tianyin. The body of the zither is made of ancient paulownia wood that is ten thousand years old. When I was young, I used it to practice the art of playing the seven-stringed zither. Today, I give it to you. I hope you will practice diligently in the future and don't let down Venerable Xue's expectations."
It was just a humble remark, but he didn't expect the other person to take it seriously. Youhuang turned around and glanced at Xue Zun.
Xue Zun lowered his eyes and nodded slightly, and You Huang said calmly: "It would be disrespectful for me to refuse the gift from you, senior. I will practice more in the future and live up to your expectations."
"Little girl, don't underestimate this zither." Baihua Lord said with a smile: "This zither is spiritual. It records the experience of Venerable Tianle in playing the seven-stringed zither. If you are willing to work hard, you will definitely gain something."
"Thank you, Master Baihua, for your guidance."
You Huang passed the Lord of Flowers first, then turned back and bowed to Venerable Tianle, saying, "Thank you for such a valuable gift, Senior."
Venerable Tianle smiled and said, "You returned the magical fairy bottle to us earlier, so I will give you a guqin in return as a token of my gratitude to you."
Suddenly, when they heard that Youhuang had returned the Fairy Bottle, the divine artifact of Shengyin Sect, and recalled that she had previously mentioned that she once owned the Tianqi Sword, everyone felt mixed emotions for a moment. How many divine artifacts did Xue Zun's new disciple have on him?
"I have a small question, I wonder if you two can explain it." You Huang hesitated and said, "Which sect did Senior Xiang Xuehai come from? One moment she said she came from Baihua Sect, and the next moment she said she came from Shengyin Sect. I am a little confused."
"Xiang Xuehai was originally the founder of my Baihua Sect." Baihua Lord explained with a smile: "Later, because the God of Music died, in order to continue playing the divine instrument Shenjiqin, she became a disciple of Shengyin Sect to learn music. Tens of thousands of years have passed, and people have gradually forgotten the past. Only the people of this sect still remember her deeds."
"I see."
You Huang showed an expression of sudden enlightenment.
Venerable Tianle said calmly: "It is precisely because of Senior Xiangxuehai's example that I hope you can practice music."
"I will definitely live up to your efforts." You Huang accepted the Tianyin Guqin and thought to himself, "With this Guqin, I can put away the Shenji Guqin in the future."
"I heard that you were poisoned by the Soul-Attached Flower. If you don't like having this poison in your blood, I can help you get rid of it. It can barely be considered a gift."
When the Lord of Flowers said this, he looked at Snow Lord. Snow Lord said calmly, "This disciple of mine practices the Way of Absolute Mercy. The poison of the Soul-Attached Flower cannot do anything to her. It doesn't matter whether it is cured or not. It can be regarded as a monitoring of her."
"Disciple will obey Master's orders and will never detoxify the soul-attached flower for the rest of his life."
Upon hearing this, You Huang immediately understood what Xue Zun meant and expressed his attitude, "Thank you, Lord Baihua, for your kindness. This poison will remain in my body for the time being."
Xue Zun didn't let her detoxify, firstly to stop people from talking, secondly to appease the women who loved him, and thirdly to pave the way for her future. As long as the flower poison in her body didn't break out, those people wouldn't have the opportunity to use it as an excuse to attack her, and the world of cultivation would always be peaceful.
"Why are you standing and chatting? Come and take a seat." Seeing that the conversation was almost over, Yu Qingchi came over to smooth things over. He put his arm around Baihuazhu's shoulder and said, "It's rare for you to go out. You must have a few drinks with me today."
"Nature."
The Master of Flowers replied with a smile.
As soon as the two of them sat down, they heard a majestic voice: "It seems that this general is not too late."
