Songs, dances, and folk arts cannot be seen at the sect's banquets. No one will take the time to rehearse these things for people's entertainment. At most, there are some magic shows to enhance the atmosphere, which is similar to the fireworks show in another world. .
In addition, this seat has a drinking table per person, so you have to watch the circle when drinking.
Shen Hao had no circle in the sect, and his circle had nothing to do with the sect, so he sat in his seat and drank too much. However, the few dishes on the table surprised him a little. The taste is spicy, which he likes, and it goes well with wine. Moreover, the ingredients of these side dishes are actually full of aura, and there will be an unusual warmth spreading after entering the mouth.
It is actually made from spiritual food, and it is a mountain of thousands of books. This aspect is quite impressive.
In addition, what made Shen Hao feel rewarded was meeting Zhou Yankong, the top monk in the world today, the master of Wanjuan Shushan.
Regardless of the trump cards of each sect, the person who can best support each sect is the sect leader. The strength of the sect leader determines the sect's status in the cultivation world.
Before coming here, Shen Hao had already heard about Zhou Yankong, the sect master of Wanjuanshu Mountain. In addition to many anecdotes about this top monk at the eighth level of the Xuanhai Realm, he is now known as the strongest contemporary monk together with the sect master of Mingshan Sect.
Although he only glanced at him from a distance, and Zhou Yankong did not exert any momentum on his body, and could even clearly feel that the other party was able to restrain his aura, Shen Hao still felt as oppressive as a majestic mountain peak. He had only experienced this feeling a little bit from his two masters, but it was far less intense than Zhou Yankong in front of him.
Zhou Yankong's arrival suppressed all the noise, and the entire top of the mountain of books could hear him speaking in a tepid tone with no nutrition. But he did not continue to drink, but raised his glass to everyone and then left, returning the banquet to its normal state.
Shen Hao sat drinking alone and did not feel bored listening to the people around him. On the contrary, he heard a lot of details about the "Book Tasting Conference". For example, he didn't know until he heard the discussions around him that although the conference had set up twenty-seven venues for monks of different realms to communicate, not everyone could come together to create a hodgepodge of exchanges, and would form a hodgepodge in different venues. communicate in a small circle.
This makes sense if you think about it carefully. After all, even if you put aside the long-standing grievances between sects, the person you communicate with naturally needs to be in line with your own situation to be useful, so a circle is naturally formed.
Shen Hao is also very interested in this kind of communication, but it is obvious that the people around him cannot be compatible with him. For no other reason than that he should be the only Yuandan realm monk around...
The seats at the banquet are arranged from the front to the back. The closer to the front, the higher the status in the cultivation world. In addition to super sects, first-class sects are the first echelon, and Fenghong Villa is naturally placed in this echelon, so Shen Hao is surrounded by either sect masters or elders, and all Xuanhai realms are standard.
Are there no people in the Yuan Dan realm? Of course there are, but they will be at the back of the square, usually some third-rate sects or some inferior sects and casual cultivators, or accompanying disciples who are not qualified to come to the banquet.
So if Shen Hao wants to find someone to communicate with, he has to find a suitable circle tomorrow.
Another gain was that the word Shen Hao heard the most from the chats of the Xuanhai Realm monks around him was "mind", which surprised him a little and also made him understand why Nie Yun was so stubborn in his cultivation. Breakthrough is the reason why you have to wait until you make up for the shortcomings in your heart before taking action.
It turns out that xinxing is not only important for breaking through the Xuanhai realm, but also for monks who have become Xuanhai realm. This once again reminded Shen Hao, who had never been troubled by xinxing problems. Maybe I can take this opportunity to try to communicate with others about xinxing?
By the time of Xu Zheng, the atmosphere of the banquet reached its peak. Basically, except for people like Shen Hao who could not fit into the circle, who were still sitting in their own seats, all the familiar people had already stood up and left the banquet. , get together to exchange cups or have a good chat and laugh.
"Master Shen, the Ninth Elder asked me to invite you over for tea."
In the second half of the banquet, Zhong Hongye, as the head of the family, naturally had some free time. He sent someone over to inform Shen Hao that he should get down to business.
After leaving the table, he followed this disciple from Wanjuan Shushan to a side hall. There were only two people in the hall, Zhong Hongye and Xiang Liu.
Shen Hao was a little surprised. He had thought that there would be a few more elders coming to Wanjuan Shushan tonight. After all, if there were more people at stake, they would be able to check for omissions. However, he did not expect that it was still only Zhong Hongye who seemed to want to monopolize it. This happened.
After thinking about it for a while, I felt relieved. Perhaps Wanjuan Shushan is still prepared to leave a way out for himself and let Zhong Hongye come forward alone. If something happens afterwards, he will have more room for maneuver and will not be pushed against the wall and unable to get off. It's just that in this case, Zhong Hongye is somewhat suspected of being kicked out and taking the blame.
As soon as they sat down, it was Xiang Liu who spoke first this time.
"Master Shen, the sake brewed by Wanjuan Shushan is very good. Could you please have two more glasses just now?"
"Haha, what Elder Xiang said is true. One of the gains tonight is the two jugs of good wine, which I still savor now. I will shamelessly ask Elder Zhong for some when I leave."
Zhong Hongye also smiled and said: "No problem, just take it as long as Mr. Shen likes it!"
After the warm-up remarks, Xiang Liu got down to business and said, "The book tasting conference lasts for three days and officially starts tomorrow. Our intention is to make a normal transition in the first two days, and we will implement the plan on the last day."
Zhong Hongye on the side continued: "At that time, we will invite all the leaders of the first-class sects, as well as the third-rate sects and some representatives of the sects who have not entered the residence, hold a tea party, and then Master Shen will announce this in one fell swoop. thing."
"Of course, the reason for bringing them here will be "to discuss the tense relationship between Fenghong Villa and the sect." After that, Lord Shen can find an opportunity to come up with the plan."
Just as Shen Hao thought, Wanjuan Shushan and Mingshan Sect had made up their minds, and they were ready to take advantage of the situation. However, these are not important to Shen Hao. He just hopes to successfully promote his "bait" plan. For this reason, it is not a problem for him to be the tool of Wanjuan Shushan and Mingshan Sect.
Shen Hao listened carefully and then nodded in agreement. But I still asked: "What if someone objects?"
Xiang Liu and Zhong Hongye looked at each other and smiled, and Shen Hao's reaction was as they expected. And they had already made plans for this question raised by Shen Hao.
"Don't worry, Mr. Shen." Zhong Hongye said with a smile, "Everything is ready. We don't need to speak when the time comes. Someone will help us put the words to our mouths."
