On this day, Fengqing Sect opened its mountain gate early in the morning, and many disciples stood guard at the mountain gate to welcome monks from all sects who came from all directions to come up the mountain to celebrate their birthday.
"Qian Yue Sect, I would like to send you a pair of Wuhai Changming Pearls to congratulate the sect master on his birthday!"
"Wansong Sect, send Qianfang, a top-grade spiritual stone..."
"Lingcheng Pavilion, send..."
"..."
"Shan Zong, give...give me a thousand spiritual stones?"
After the disciple of Na Li finished reading, he raised his head and glanced at the three people in front of him. His eyes were as weird as they were.
He only gave a thousand spiritual stones as a birthday gift, which was still low-grade. How poor was this mountain sect?
"Ahem..."
Yao Ziyi now looks like a middle-aged scholar, with a sallow complexion and a stern expression, "Our sect is a small family, so we can only offer this small gift, so please forgive me."
"Fellow Shan Zong said something serious."
Disciple Nali put away his weird look and smiled politely: "Today is Master's birthday party. The three of you have come all the way to celebrate your birthday. You have done your best, so please go up the mountain."
When Yao Ziyi heard this, his face suddenly lit up with joy, he cupped his hands to express his thanks, and then quickly walked up the mountain with Li Xiaoliu and Xiang Shu.
After the three people left, the smile on disciple Nali's face immediately disappeared, and he threw the box containing the spirit stones aside with a look of disgust.
When the junior brother next to him saw it, he couldn't help but ask: "Senior brother, why don't you just kick these three people out? I heard from senior sister that today's birthday banquet uses high-quality ingredients and it costs a lot of money."
"What do you know?"
Disciple Nali glared at his junior brother, "Master has already told me that today is a festive day and there is no need to make any noise or fight. Not to mention poor people, even beggars have to put in with a smile on their face. Do you understand?"
"understand."
The junior brother nodded repeatedly, glanced at the group of people under the mountain gate, and immediately shouted in surprise: "Senior brother, look, is that the disciple uniform of the Ten Thousand Meridians Sword Sect?"
"It's Chen Meng, Master Chen!"
Disciple Nali's eyes shone brightly, and he immediately put down everything in his hands and rushed forward...
At the same time, Xiang Shu and his party had reached halfway up the mountain.
The Fengqing Sect is backed by the Wanmai Sword Sect and barely occupies a spiritual mountain as its sect gate. The mountain road is decorated with lights and colorful decorations on both sides. The spiritual trees and vegetation are lush and green, and the scenery is quite beautiful.
Xiang Shen looked around and could occasionally see some traces of deliberate pruning, which showed that Fengqingmen attached great importance to this birthday banquet.
For such an important birthday banquet, the disciples guarding the mountain gate did not confirm the token to check their identity at all. Instead, they only paid attention to the gift list.
And even though the third senior brother gave very few gifts, the disciples who received them still greeted them with smiles...
Somewhat eccentric.
Xiang Shu glanced sideways at Yao Ziyi and saw that his brows were slightly furrowed, and he must have been thinking about this matter as well.
"Little Junior Sister, look at that!" Li Xiaoliu suddenly said.
Xiang Shen looked up and his eyes suddenly condensed.
I saw a platform halfway up the mountain filled with banquets, and many disciples were walking among them carrying extremely exquisite dishes.
"Purple jade carnation, sea clam, spiritual tea milk..."
The more Li Xiaoliu watched, the more surprised he became, "Our Wanmai Sword Sect holds a banquet, and the standard is just like this. How can a person from a small family like Fengqing Clan not survive?"
"Senior brother, don't forget that Fengqing Sect started by refining alchemy." Xiang Shen said with a smile.
"Is alchemy really so profitable?"
Li Xiaoliu took a breath and couldn't help but look at Yao Ziyi.
Yao Ziyi coughed awkwardly, "If you practice well, you can naturally make a lot of money."
The implication is that if you don’t practice well...
Li Xiaoliu couldn't help but curl his lips when he thought of the alchemy room at the back of Wuming Peak that was prone to explosions.
At first glance, Third Senior Brother is someone who only loses money.
On the other hand, Fengqing Sect is so good at alchemy, so why not take advantage of the crowd and go to their alchemy room, and maybe get some tips on alchemy for the third senior brother...
"Don't make any crooked ideas."
Li Xiaoliu suddenly heard a sound in his ears:
Yao Ziyi's message frightened him: "Third Senior Brother, why are you scaring me?"
Yao Ziyi smiled: "I don't know you yet? As soon as you roll your eyes, senior brother will know that you want to do bad things. Five
You stole three bottles of elixir from Elder Shou Xin. Elder Shou Xin is also kind-hearted and said he stole it as a loan, but he couldn't hide it from me.
Master Xuan Palace gave you a magic weapon, not for you to use for sneaking around, do you hear that? "
Yao Ziyi's tone was as gentle as ever, and his smile was the same as before. But today Li Xiaoliu actually saw a bit of majesty in it, which was very scary.
He couldn't help but lower his head and responded obediently: "I heard it, I just won't run around."
Xiang Shen followed, silently seeing this, and looked away. With her mind, she could naturally tell that the two people were communicating secretly.
Although he couldn't hear it, from Li Xiaoliu's reaction, he could guess that he was secretly being trained by Yao Ziyi, rather than deliberately hiding something from her.
After Li Yu was reincarnated, his temper was indeed a little out of control and he needed to be disciplined.
As for Yao Ziyi, after observing Xiang Shu all the way, he found that this man seemed cynical, but in fact he was very thoughtful and arranged everything in a flawless manner. It was no wonder that the second senior brother felt comfortable letting him take him down the mountain to practice.
Xiang Shu was observing Yao Ziyi, and Yao Ziyi naturally also observed Xiang Shu along the way.
However, the Master of Hall Xuan checked the identity in person, and he did not doubt Xiang Shen. He only felt that this new junior sister was usually taciturn, but she handled things very calmly.
At such a young age, he has the air of a general. He must have suffered a lot in the past when he was out alone...
Thinking of this, Yao Ziyi's eyes flashed with warmth.
After a section of the mountain road, more and more Fengqing Sect disciples were coming and going. The three of them walked faster, but none of them spoke again.
After a while, the three of them climbed to the top of the mountain.
Xiang Shen raised his head and looked into the distance. At a glance, he crossed the broad avenue and saw the sect's main palace square filled with banquets in the distance.
The banquet hadn't started yet, but most of the guests in the square were already seated.
Yao Ziyi glanced briefly and recognized many acquaintances, and the sects these acquaintances belonged to were, without exception, seventh grade or above.
The Fengqing Sect disciples who were waiting on both sides of the square entrance to welcome guests looked at the gift list and their eyes instantly widened.
How dare a ninth-grade sect come to the main hall for a banquet? ! Aren't you afraid of offending someone and walking around without food?
Could it be that I'm going the wrong way?
The disciple was thinking this and was about to step forward to stop him when he saw Yao Ziyi suddenly took a long step, sat down directly at a seat in the square, and started talking very familiarly with a monk in purple at the next seat.
"It turns out there is an acquaintance..."
The disciple who was welcoming the guest had a look of surprise on his face, and quickly took back his hand that was frozen in the air, pretending that nothing happened.
At the same time, during the banquet.
"Fellow Taoist, I really didn't expect to meet you here." Yao Ziyi greeted with surprise on his face.
Ziyi frowned when he heard this and denied in a cold voice: "Your Majesty, you are very young. If your memory is correct, I have never seen you."
"That fellow Taoist has a really bad memory."
Yao Ziyi smiled meaningfully, and the conversation changed to voice transmission: "Fellow Taoist, I don't remember, but I remember meeting you Taoist during a secret meeting with the Pantheon spies."
As soon as these words came out, the purple-clothed monk's expression suddenly changed, and he was about to take action without saying a word, but Yao Ziyi held down the back of his hand first.
"Fellow Taoist, please be patient."
Yao Ziyi gave a reassuring look and said, "How many of you are here because of the Pantheon? I don't need to say more, right? If you take action now, wouldn't you be exposed on your own initiative?"
The purple-clothed monk turned blue, "How did you see that?"
"Fellow Taoist, it's not a good habit to look around."
Yao Ziyi smiled and said, "You are not high in cultivation and lack worldly experience. At first glance, you can tell that the sect has sneaked out. In addition, you look restless and looking for people everywhere. I just want to see you." It’s hard to get out.”
The purple-clothed monk bit his lips unconsciously when he heard this. This man's words were gentle, but they could not be heard in his ears.
He was not afraid of the thunder, which shocked him into confusion.
"You...who are you?!"
The monk in purple suppressed his voice and his voice couldn't stop trembling.
"Don't worry, fellow Taoist, we are fellow Taoists."
Yao Ziyi sighed sadly, "I don't know which sect you are from, but after the Dongzhou monks moved westward, life for us small sect monks became increasingly difficult."
Having said this, Yao Ziyi glanced at Li Xiaoliu who was eating and drinking. The meaning behind his words was self-evident.
Upon seeing this, the monk in purple fell into silence. After a moment, he continued: "Your Excellency, are you...bringing your junior brothers and sisters here to eat and drink?"
Yao Ziyi looked helpless and nodded lightly.
"Fellow Taoist is actually like this..."
The purple-clothed monk looked shocked, then remained silent for a moment, then suddenly took out a communication talisman and handed it to Yao Ziyi's hand.
Yao Ziyi was stunned for a moment when he saw the communication talisman. Before he could ask any questions, the monk in purple sighed and said:
"I was confused for a moment, but when I saw my Taoist friend today, I realized that my obsession was too deep. I gave this communication talisman to my Taoist friend."
Having said this, the purple-clothed monk hesitated for a moment, then continued: "If fellow Taoist really joins the Pantheon for survival, I will not inform you. In exchange, I also ask fellow Taoist not to tell others what happened today."
After saying that, the purple-clothed monk quickly stood up, covered his face and left in a hurry.
Yao Ziyi looked at his fleeing back, then looked down at the communication talisman in his hand, feeling quite dumbfounded.
He could tell that this person had a bad character, and he just wanted to test him out, but he didn't expect that after only a few words of conversation, the other party would do everything he could to get rid of him.
"Third Senior Brother, I don't usually see it, but you still have the ability to persuade people to turn around with just a few words."
Li Xiaoliu couldn't help teasing him, but when Yao Ziyi glared at him, he immediately stopped laughing and sat upright.
"Third Senior Brother, it remains to be discussed whether this person has really turned around." Xiang Shu suddenly spoke.
"oh?"
As soon as these words came out, Yao Ziyi raised his brows and showed a strange expression: "Little junior sister, what did you see?"
Xiang Shu shook his head: "I didn't see anything. This person behaved naturally and impeccably. I just feel uneasy. This Pantheon messenger seems to have come too easily."
Li Xiaoliu couldn't help but change his face slightly when he heard this, "Third Senior Brother, what Junior Sister said makes sense. Could that person just now be a fake person from Pantheon?"
Yao Ziyi was noncommittal and just smiled, "Junior sister is very observant and has this kind of thought. I think she won't suffer big losses when she walks alone in the world of cultivation in the future.
Xiaoliu, you should learn more from junior sister, don’t just focus on eating and drinking. "
"Third Senior Brother, you have wronged someone again. It was just now that you secretly sent a message asking me to eat it for that person to see!"
Yao Ziyi smiled slightly as he listened to Li Xiaoliu's quibbles, but unconsciously glanced in the direction where the purple-clothed monk left.
Just as the junior sister said, the purple-clothed monk's reaction was extremely natural, and he had no way of distinguishing between true and false.
But if it is really a fake from Pantheon...
This person's acting skills and palace are too terrifying.
