At this moment, Liu Qingyi felt a little complacent in his heart. Now that he had passed the House Selection, at the Soul Selection Ceremony, once he was lucky enough to enter the Immortal Sect and practiced the Immortal Sect's techniques, he would be a real immortal.
This kind of thing that he had never dared to think about before seemed to be about to become a reality. This incredible feeling made him unable to calm down for a long time.
He was lost in thought when two more warriors came in from outside the hall, followed by a young man. The two warriors whispered a few words to Wu Chengfeng and then left, leaving the young man standing alone in front of the hall.
Wu Chengfeng, the Lord of Yinyuan City, stood up with a glowing face, smiled and stepped forward to take the man's hand and said: "I didn't expect that our Yinyuan City would be lucky enough to have a third spiritual enlightenment person this year. It's really God's mercy. Boy, May I have your name?"
The young man said: "Xu Xiang met the city lord in Xiadaolin Village." This young man named Xu Xiang looked to be in his twenties, but he was much younger than Liu Qingyi.
Wu Chengfeng nodded, and after a few pleasantries, he took him and introduced Wu Zhen.
After Xu Xiang sat down next to Liu Qingyi, he chatted familiarly: "Big brother, when you were reflecting on the stone monument outside, my younger brother was looking at you below. You are a thick spirit body, right? The stone monument is shining brightly. So bright.”
Liu Qingyi shook his head and said: "I don't know if I am a thick spirit body. My Humiao Village is rich in red-mouthed fish, and I have eaten a lot of it."
Xu Xiang seemed to be very interested in the little civet in Liu Qingyi's arms, and said: "You are from Humiao Village, no wonder. Where did you get this little civet? Why is it black? I see a lady in the city Most of the civet cats we raise are white or gray.”
Liu Qingyi pushed back: "I don't know, it was given to me by a friend of mine."
Xu Xiang said: "The color of the fur is really strange." After saying that, he stretched out his hand to touch the little civet. Unexpectedly, the little civet suddenly ran to Liu Qingyi's back and made him touch nothing. He was surprised and said: "This kitten is so good." Fast speed.”
Liu Qingyi said helplessly: "This civet cat of mine is a bit acquainted with life, so please be kind to me, brother, so as not to get bitten by it."
Xu Xiang laughed and stopped reaching out to touch the little civet. He only whispered: "Brother Liu, this time we were all selected by Yinyuan City. We still need to take care of each other at the spirit selection ceremony." ." After that, he spoke to Chen Sui'er next to him, but Chen Sui'er seemed not to hear him and ignored him at all.
Xu Xiang was disappointed and sat back down, chatting with Liu Qingyi.
The city lord Wu Chengfeng and others in the same hall waited for more than an hour. Seeing that no one came up, they asked everyone to move to a side hall outside the corridor.
The furnishings of this side hall are very simple and beautiful. There is a large round table with seven or eight round stools. The tables, chairs and stools are all carved with various flowers, birds, insects and beasts, which looks extremely beautiful and elegant.
Wu Chengfeng let everyone into the room, arranged for Wu Zhen to sit at the top, and accompanied him beside him. He also asked everyone to sit down, and then five or six servants from the mansion came in to wait on them.
He said to Wu Zhen who was sitting at the top: "Master Wu, this time you have to try our Yinyuan City's Drunk Immortal Brew. I have already sent someone to get it."
Wu Zhen smiled and refused: "City Lord Wu, I have to take them to the county town later, so there's no need for that."
Wu Chengfeng said: "Let's drink less, it won't be a problem." Wu Zhen also smiled and stopped refusing.
Not long after, the drunken fairy wine was brought up, and the maid on the side filled a cup for everyone, and the aroma of wine suddenly filled the hall.
Wu Chengfeng took the cup and said to everyone: "This time, three spiritual bodies appeared in our Yinyuan City at once. Thanks to Mr. Wu for sitting in charge, and thanks to Mr. Wu's blessing, it is also the joy of our Yinyuan City. Let's all respect Mr. Wu. "
Wu Zhen smiled and pushed his hands again and again, then picked up the cup and drank in one gulp. Everyone raised their glasses and drank, but Chen Sui'er held the cup blankly and stood up in a daze.
Wu Zhen and Wu Chengfeng felt unhappy when they saw her like this, but they didn't pay too much attention.
For a time, everyone at the banquet was chatting and laughing happily, drinking and drinking, and they became more harmonious and closer.
During the dinner, Liu Qingyi remembered something, held the cup and bowed to Wu Chengfeng: "City Lord Wu, I want to ask you a favor."
Wu Chengfeng was stunned and said: "Brother Liu, why are you so polite? If you have anything to say, just say it."
Liu Qingyi drank down the wine glass in his hand and said, "I would like to ask a favor from Humiao Village. Can the quota of corvee be exempted for a few years?"
When Wu Chengfeng heard what Liu Qingyi said, he looked at Liu Qingyi in surprise, as if he couldn't believe it.
In his opinion, such enlightened people in the past would probably not be entangled in worldly matters. This was the first time he had encountered such a thing like interceding for a village.
Wu Zhen, who was next to him, looked at Liu Qingyi with a strange look in his eyes when he heard Liu Qingyi's request.
Wu Chengfeng pondered for a long time, seemed to have made up his mind, and said: "Brother Liu, what do you think of this sparing Humiao Village ten years of corvee work?"
After hearing this, Liu Qingyi was overjoyed and said gratefully: "Thank you City Lord Wu."
He originally thought that Wu Chengfeng would agree to be exempted for a few years at most, but he didn't expect that Wu Chengfeng would give him such a great deal of face and be exempted for ten years. He was really overjoyed.
Wu Zhen seemed to have read through Wu Chengfeng's thoughts and said with a smile: "Brother Liu is kind-hearted and cares so much about the villagers of Humiao Village. If he can enter the Immortal Sect at the Soul Selection Ceremony this time, I wonder if he will be able to do so in Yinyuan City in the future. I rely on you. These small things are nothing to City Lord Wu."
After hearing what Wu Zhen said, the lord of Yin Yuan City, Wu Chengfeng, secretly rolled his eyes at him and said with a smile: "That's the truth, that's the truth."
Liu Qingyi felt a little proud when he heard this. When he picked up the cup to pay homage to Wu Chengfeng and Wu Zhen, he saw a lot of red-mouthed fish on the table, so he picked a few and fed them to the little civet.
On the other side, Xu Xiang drank several cups of Zuixian brew and seemed to be a little drunk. He kept pestering Chen Sui'er to talk. The more she ignored him, the more energetic he became, until Chen Sui'er was forced to I gave up only when my face turned red.
When the meal was almost finished, Wu Zhen stood up and thanked the people present, letting everyone take a short rest before getting ready to leave.
Wu Chengfeng summoned a maid to take Wu Zhen to the lobby to watch tea and rest, and then asked a servant to bring over a tray. He twisted three brands from the tray with his own hands and handed them to Liu Qingyi and Chen Sui one by one. Er and Xu Xiang.
Liu Qingyi took a look at the nameplate and saw that the copper-brown nameplate had the word 'Yin Yuan' printed on one side and the word 'Fuxuan' printed on the other side. The whole thing felt heavy in his hand.
Wu Chengfeng looked at the three of them and said, "The three of you are all the soul enlighteners selected by our Yinyuan City Mansion. I hope you will have a good future in the spirit selection ceremony, and you will also give us Yinyuan City a long face." After that, he He asked everyone to pack their luggage, went to the lobby to invite Wu Zhen, and sent everyone out the door.
When they arrived at the gate of the mansion, several warriors from the city lord's mansion had already brought over three wind-bone beasts and asked Liu Qingyi and the other three to ride them before sending them straight to the gate of the city.
There were many people watching in the city, and He Jinkong also followed to see Liu Qingyi off. After the two had a heart-to-heart talk with each other, Liu Qingyi asked him to take care of Luoer's family in Humiao Village. He Jinkong Kongzi patted his chest and agreed.
Wu Zhen rode a unique beast to lead the way. Xu Xiang heard that it was called the three-eyed cloud-hoofed beast, a spiritual beast that was faster and more powerful than the wind-bone beast.
When they arrived at the gate of the city, Wu Zhen and others said goodbye to Wu Chengfeng, He Jinkong and other people who were seeing them off, and then got on the road and rushed west.
