"It's the best elixir..." The corners of Kuang Chen's mouth dropped, and he clenched his fists under the table, carefully calculating the chances of the Spring Leaf Bird's victory.
Dai Shitong was not very interested in such a precious thing. He only raised his eyebrows when he sang "Hengsongdong Anlan Zhenren".
Hengsong Cave is only 800 miles away from Duying Mountain. Although Master An Lan is called a casual cultivator, he has a lot of contacts with the Yuheng Sect, so he has a cave to himself and opens a furnace to refine elixirs for others.
Dai Shitong's qualifications were mediocre since he was a child. He even managed to draw Qi into his body under the personal guidance of Master Judou. Along the way from Qi training to foundation building, he took countless rare treasures and high-level elixirs. After taking such a huge amount of elixirs, erysipelas will naturally accumulate in the body. Master Judou knew that the best elixirs could clear away old erysipelas, so he asked for elixirs at high prices, including a deal with Hengsong Cave.
Therefore, the top-grade elixir that was very precious in the eyes of others was nothing special in front of him.
It seems that Master An Lan didn't know about Kong Shao's birthday banquet this time. Dai Shitong suddenly felt that things were getting interesting, so he waved his hand and said: "This thing is precious, I won't put it away as a birthday gift for my fellow Taoist." !”
Yu Kong Shao was satisfied in his heart, and when he saw the monks around him looking at him with envy, he couldn't help but raise his glass as if the victory was determined.
I visited several people in the future, and the birthday gifts were all valuable, but with the best elixirs, pearls and jade in front of them, they seemed quite simple.
"The elders of Qingpingmen, Jin Wenhao and Han Fang, present an eight-hundred-year-old Cordyceps sinensis plant!"
It must be a small sect that has only been established for a few hundred years. None of the monks have heard of the name Qingping Sect, so naturally the two of them are also very unfamiliar.
However, what they presented was Cordyceps sinensis, which was still eight hundred years old, which made everyone stunned.
This medicine has extremely mild medicinal properties. After taking it, it strengthens the pulse and nourishes the acupuncture points, and strengthens the Dantian. The most mysterious thing is that it can also clear the mind and enhance a little understanding.
Don't underestimate this hint of understanding, it can break the shackles and clarify the true meaning. If it is a thousand-year-old Cordyceps sinensis, it can even allow ordinary monks to step into the ranks of geniuses, and their paths will be clear from now on.
Although the donation from the Qingpingmen couple in front of them is less than a thousand years old, with Master Judou's connections and ability, they found an alchemist who is proficient in alchemy to refine it into Miaowu Dan, and doubled the use of the 800-year-old Cordyceps sinensis. The medicinal properties should not be difficult.
Dai Shitong knew that his grandfather had been working hard on his spiritual practice for the past hundred years. If he presented this thing, he would be extremely happy.
"Such a rare treasure must have made Dai so happy that he moved the two tables to the front so that Dai can fulfill his duties as a host!"
At this point, Kuang Chen felt empty in his heart and felt hopeless.
The Yuheng disciples beside Zhao Shun also remained silent, secretly feeling that the outcome was decided.
"Kang Chen, a casual cultivator, and Cao Jizhong, a disciple of the Yuheng sect, present a spring leaf bird!"
"But a bird with feathers like clouds and a sound like broken jade?" Dai Shitong stood up in an uproar, raised his hands excitedly and said, "Quick! Bring it up and let me have a look!"
A white-feathered red crane flapped its wings and instantly transformed into a young man in white, lifting an exquisite birdcage into it.
The bird in the cage is no more than the size of a palm, and its body is green, except for its cheeks covered with a little goose yellow, just like the yellow flowers in early spring, full of vitality. I also saw its wings raised, but the feathers under the wings were golden in color, as bright as the morning glow. When it opened its mouth to cry, the sound was crisp and graceful, making people feel empty.
"It's really the spring-leafed bird in the Hundred-Volume Book of Rare Birds. It's so beautiful, so beautiful!"
Dai Shitong quickly took over the bird cage and carefully coaxed the birds in the cage, with a particularly happy face.
He loves animals like crazy. In the past few years, he has been asking for a spring-leaf kingfisher without success. He didn't expect that today's birthday party would have such an unexpected surprise. For a moment, he was more interested in his grandfather's favorite Cordyceps sinensis and his beloved spiritual beast. Tangled up.
Who is better to choose as the leader?
At this time, the disciples sang again: "Zhao Chun, a disciple of the Zhaoyan Immortal Sect, and a disciple of the Yuheng Sect..."
"Give me a puppet beast!"
Yuan Caojian was silent for a moment, not because of this puppet beast who didn't know the details, but because of the "Zhaoyan Immortal Sect" in the mouth of the disciples.
People who can enter the Immortal Sect are all geniuses to the outside world, and the Immortal Sect has a profound foundation and has never been short of all kinds of resources. Even in terms of connections, it is not inferior to Dai Shitong. She came to celebrate her birthday this time. The banquet really puzzled everyone.
"Oh, this fellow Taoist Zhao is actually a disciple of the Immortal Sect, and Dai came to meet him at a distance!"
But Zhao Shun just stood up calmly, raised his hands and said to Dai Shitong: "I came here to celebrate his birthday, how can I make my master trouble me?"
The other party was also interested in the puppet beast because of her identity, so she waved and said with a smile: "Let's take a look at the puppet beast given by fellow Taoist Zhao."
The young man in white who had come to pick up the spring-leaf kingfisher had a black cat in his arms. Before he could reach Dai Shitong, the black cat suddenly jumped to the ground and in the blink of an eye turned into a crow. It fluttered its wings and flew into the birdcage in Dai Shitong's hand. , which scared the spring-leaf kingfisher into flying around randomly.
"Hey, don't be ridiculous." Dai Shitong picked up the crow and bird familiarly, and asked in surprise: "What kind of spiritual beast is this? It can turn a cat into a bird, but what's Xi's secret skill?"
"It's just a more realistic puppet." Zhao Shun jumped forward and touched Crow Bird's head, and saw that Crow Bird, which was still very agile before, suddenly stiffened up, and soon turned into a heavy gold and stone statue.
"Fellow Taoist, you can try crossing into the true essence."
Dai Shitong handed the birdcage to the young man in white and poured a trace of true energy into the puppet.
Crow Bird came to life almost instantly, and the previous stiffness disappeared from his body. As his heart moved, he instantly transformed into a fluffy black cat, lying lazily in his arms.
Dai Shitong received Zhao Chun's signal and placed it on the ground again. The black cat pounced forward and transformed into a black snake, which snaked and crawled.
"It's really amazing how amazing the craftsmanship is to create such a lifelike puppet that looks like the real thing."
He picked up the black snake and whispered: "The puppet has a long life. Finally, he no longer has to go through the difficulties of life and death and be separated from the living..."
Zhao Chun noticed that he was in a different mood, but suddenly calmed down. He hugged the snake and bowed before him, saying, "This gift is very precious to Dai. Thank you, fellow Taoist Zhao, for your love."
After the singing disciple finished reciting the gifts from Zhao Chun and others, he closed the gift list and left, which meant that all the guests had given gifts, and Zhao Chun was the last one.
Dai Shitong looked at everyone in silence, hugged the black snake in his arms tightly, and said for a long time: "Today's gift, Dai is indeed most concerned about what was given by fellow Taoist Zhao."
But he changed the subject and added: "The cordyceps cordyceps given by the two Taoist friends from Qingpingmen are actually very precious and are in line with the wishes of Dai and the elder."
"It's really hard to tell the difference in Dai's heart. Today is his 100th birthday. Good things should come in pairs. The top spot in this banquet should be shared by fellow Taoist fellows Zhao and Qingpingmen!"
As soon as these words came out, Zhao Shun nodded and bowed in return. Qingpingmen and his wife also stood up and cupped their hands with joy on their faces. Kuang Shen's expression suddenly changed when he offered the spring leaf bird. He was the only one left out of the three birthday gifts presented to Dai Shitong!
The host was happy, and the guests chatted happily with each other. After Yuan Caojian's banquet, Dai Shitong called the people who presented the gifts to come forward and promised that the disciples of Yuheng who were traveling with Zhao Chun could lead them into Jin Ai Peak and join Zhao Chun. Qingpingmen and his wife said:
"After the 100th birthday banquet, the elder once said that he would repay the gift to the person who gave the most gift. The three of you will come with Dai."
