Chapter 67 Celebration Banquet
Hearing this, everyone in the palace stared straight-eyed.
Once you break through the Qi Sea Realm, you can become an elder, which has never happened before in the sect.
The idle elders are also elders and have the right to participate in the sect's decision-making. They are the real senior leaders of the sect.
In addition, he also serves as the steward of the elixir hall, and his actual full power is very close to that of the deputy hall master.
In particular, you can enter the treasure house of the Finance Hall and pick three treasures at will.
Not to mention the idle elders, even the chief and deputy hall masters of each hall had envious expressions on their faces.
Liu Yuanchen didn't have much feeling about the position of the idle elder.
As long as the cultivation level is improved, what does the powerful elder mean?
Just like my master, he is only the deputy master of the elixir hall in name, but the sect masters are quite respectful to him.
However, the two elixirs for breaking through the Qi Sea Realm are still very real.
After all, when it comes to breaking through a big realm, no matter how well prepared you are, there is a certain chance of failure.
One more pill means one more chance.
What excited him the most was that he could enter the mission hall and choose three treasures.
Although the Red Wasteland is barren, it still has great potential.
In particular, the various spiritual objects that have been preserved from ancient times are even more impressive.
Even Thousand Machines City, a major force outside the Red Wasteland, covets the Red Wasteland.
After all, the Qingdan Sect is also a famous force in the Red Wasteland, and it has been in existence for thousands of years.
After so many years, it is natural to collect a lot of treasures.
Of course, the real top treasures will definitely not be handed over to the Finance Hall for management.
But Liu Yuanchen was just a Qi-nurturing monk, and anything that could be called a treasure was of great value to him.
He quickly bowed and saluted: "Thank you, Master, for the reward."
Then, he took the golden disciple token and stepped aside.
Qingyang Sanren continued: "Among the Qi Sea Realm monks in this battle, Mo Lianshan and Hou Xuanwu tied for the first place..."
…
"Among the monks in the Ning Yuan Realm, Hu Shanren, Yan Shoujing, and Shen Gonglu are jointly ranked first..."
Qi-nourishing realm disciples can directly rank first according to their actual merits without thinking too much.
The Qi Sea Realm and Ning Yuan Realm monks who have made great achievements are all elders of the sect.
At this time, we should not only consider the size of the credit, but also consider the issue of balance.
Hou Xuanwu, who is tied with Mo Lianshan, has always been in charge of Jin'ao Mountain.
His achievement is to kill a few evil cultivators in the Qi Sea Realm, which can only be called a great achievement.
However, these monks have endured hardship in Jin'ao Mountain for more than two years, and have been suppressed and beaten, and their sacrifices have been very heavy.
If they don't come up with a first skill to appease them, those people will definitely not be happy.
This is especially true for the rewards given to monks in the Ning Yuan Realm. These people are all powerful elders.
After making the first achievement, as long as there is still the possibility of further improvement, there is hope to reach the seventh elder in the future.
The seven elders, including the great elder, are higher than the heads of each hall, and they have decision-making power.
The idle elders also have a little bit of decision-making power, but when dealing with major matters, all elders need to discuss it.
Small daily matters, such as disciple promotions, position arrangements, rewards and punishments, etc., are all decided by the seventh elder.
Although the sect leader has the right to veto, he usually will not easily lose the face of the seventh elder.
The power of promotion and punishment, as well as rewards and punishments, are extremely important.
If it is not balanced, it will cause greater turmoil.
Among the three, Yan Shoujing is in charge of Jintong Mountain, and Shen Gonglu is the leader of Jin'ao Mountain.
There were three places where big battles were fought, and everyone benefited.
As for Xuansha Lake, although a war broke out, it was indeed a bit embarrassing.
And when it comes to big forces outside of the Red Wasteland, it’s not easy to talk about them casually.
In other words, only a few great merits were given, but no first merit.
The Qi Sea Realm and Condensing Yuan Realm monks who made the first achievements also received a lot of benefits, and even had pills to assist in breaking through the Condensing Yuan Realm.
However, none of them received the reward of entering the Finance Hall's treasure house to select treasures.
The award ceremony lasted for a full two hours before it ended.
After the reward was given, the sect leader withdrew from the banquet.
The Great Elder stood up and said, "My fellow disciples, I have ordered the Lingchu Hall to hold a celebration banquet at Chunfeng Tower. Let's have a good drink."
…
In the evening, the monks who had made great achievements gathered in Chunfeng Tower.
On the top floor of Chunfeng Building is a separate large box specially used for holding large banquets.
Everyone arrived at the top floor of Chunfeng Building, where seven or eight large tables had been set up.
There are also wine jars on the table. As soon as you enter the box, the aroma of wine hits your face.
Under the guidance of the great elder, Liu Yuanchen came to the northernmost table.
Sitting on this table together were the great elder and the monks who had made the first contribution before.
In addition, Zhao Hong is also at this table.
In fact, everyone knows in their hearts that he is the real first contributor.
It's just because Zhao Hong is a monk outside the Red Wasteland, and there are too many things involved, so it's not easy to publicize them.
Therefore, there was no discussion of his merits.
After taking a seat, various dishes were served non-stop.
Phoenix on Fire, the signature dish of Chunfeng Restaurant, is naturally among them.
However, at this celebration banquet, the signature dish that is familiar to Qingdan Sect disciples can only be served first, and it is not considered a signature dish at all.
The dishes at the back dazzled Liu Yuanchen.
Dishes carefully prepared by various second-level spiritual beasts and elixirs were served in turn.
The last dish was made from the bear paws of a third-level bear monster, along with eight kinds of precious spiritual fruits and elixirs.
The elder personally picked up a piece of bear paw for Liu Yuanchen: "Yuanchen, this eight-treasure bear paw can only be served at the sect banquet such as the celebration banquet.
We usually want to eat it, but there is no place to eat it.
This bear paw has been specially processed, even if a mortal eats it, there will be no hidden dangers, you can eat it with confidence."
Liu Yuanchen naturally did not dare to be arrogant, and stood up to take the bear paw with a bowl: "Thank you, elder."
The elder showed such goodwill, obviously to please Zhao Hong.
But Zhao Hong's identity is special, he didn't know which etiquette to greet him.
If he was too arrogant, he would offend.
As the elder, the second in command of Qingdan Sect, it would be too embarrassing to be humble.
But Liu Yuanchen is a direct disciple of Qingdan Sect. Picking food for the younger generation, being humble is called taking care of the younger generation, and no one can find fault with it.
Liu Yuanchen picked up the bear paw and tasted it. It was indeed fresh and smooth.
In the past, I thought that the Phoenix Rising from the Fire was already a delicacy, but compared with this Eight Treasures Bear Paw, it was a world of difference.
Moreover, the spiritual power in this Eight Treasures Bear Paw did not burst out instantly, but only slowly seeped out and was absorbed by the body.
Then, the Great Elder opened the wine jar, and a strong aroma of wine came to his nose.
Some monks who were not good at drinking, just smelled the smell, and their faces flushed, and their heads were a little dizzy.
He personally filled everyone's cups: "These wines are all Chunfeng wines that have been treasured for more than three hundred years. There are not many left in the sect. Everyone, please taste them."
After everyone drank, the Great Elder went to each table to toast, and then left Chunfeng Tower on the pretext of being busy.
Zhao Hong also found an excuse to leave together.
After all, they have special identities.
With them here, everyone else was very restrained and did not dare to eat and drink freely.
Without Zhao Hong and the Seventh Elder to suppress them, the scene suddenly became lively.
Mo Lianshan raised his wine bowl and toasted Liu Yuanchen: "Yuanchen, if it weren't for you getting the intelligence this time, Qinghe Town would be in danger. I toast you."
Hu Shanren, who was standing by, also raised his wine bowl: "Yes, Yuanchen, I can make great contributions thanks to you. I toast you too."
After all, it was an elder who was toasting. Liu Yuanchen raised his wine bowl and stood up to signal, then drank it all.
The Spring Breeze has a soft taste and is not spicy.
When the wine entered my stomach, a warm current flowed through my body, and I immediately broke out in a slight sweat.
When the breeze blew, it was like a spring breeze.
"This Chunfeng Niang is indeed worthy of its reputation."
Shen Gonglu, who was standing by, also raised his wine bowl to toast: "Yuanchen really has a good alcohol tolerance. We were always worried when we were stationed at Jinao Lake before.
If it weren't for you and Deputy Hall Master Zhao to wipe out the strange creatures, all of us might have died in the hands of strange creatures.
Deputy Hall Master Zhao has something to do, so I'll toast you with this bowl of wine."
Liu Yuanchen also stood up again: "In this case, I'll drink a bowl on behalf of my master."
Afterwards, many cultivators toasted Liu Yuanchen with various excuses.
Most of the cultivators present were well-informed.
The battle between the Demon Cloud Sect and the Qingdan Sect has exposed the figures of many powerful forces outside the domain.
Everyone can see that the sky of the Red Wasteland is about to change.
In the midst of changes, if you are not careful, you may fall from the clouds and be smashed to pieces.
But as long as you can hold a big enough thigh, you can take advantage of the wind.
The only elder in Qingdan Sect who could hold on to a powerful figure was Zhao Hong.
Therefore, these people were very enthusiastic towards Liu Yuanchen.
After everyone toasted him, Liu Yuanchen remained calm.
Mo Lianshan gave him a thumbs up: "Yuanchen, you have a really strong alcohol tolerance.
Three hundred years of Spring Breeze Brew, even a cultivator in the Condensation Realm can only drink two or three kilograms at most.
In such a short while, you must have drunk at least five or six kilograms."
Liu Yuanchen smiled and said: "To be honest, this is my first time drinking, and I don't know how much I can drink."
Seeing that he was very sober, Mo Lianshan asked in a low voice: "Yuanchen, you are also in your twenties. Do you have a favorite woman?"
Liu Yuanchen shook his head: "No."
Mo Lianshan's eyes lit up: "My little daughter is seventeen years old this year. Although her talent is not good, she is only a third-class upper-grade fairy seed, but her appearance is absolutely beyond reproach."
When he said this, Hu Shanren on the side also hurriedly said: "Brother Mo, forget it, Yuanchen, I have a niece, but she is a second-class lower-grade fairy seed, and she is only sixteen years old.
In terms of appearance, she can also be ranked in our Qingdan Sect."
The two of them started arguing, and the eyes of other elders also lit up.
Seeing that he couldn't handle it, Liu Yuanchen hurriedly said, "I'm only at the ninth level of Qi cultivation now. The method of cultivation of the master's sect requires that when the cultivation is at a lower level, one needs to preserve the Yuan Yang."
Hearing him say this, everyone naturally dared not mention the marriage again.
After being suppressed for more than two years in the war, now that they are completely relaxed, they naturally want to indulge themselves.
The cultivators gathered in groups of three or five and started drinking.
The celebration banquet lasted for two hours, and several hundred kilograms of three hundred years of Chunfeng Brew were drunk.
Liu Yuanchen alone drank nearly ten kilograms.
However, with a physique that resists poison, the difference between drinking and drinking water is that the body is a little warmer.
At this time, in the box on the top floor of Chunfeng Building, there were people everywhere except the table.
Hu Shanren lay on the table, took a bite of the spiritual fruit, and said drunkenly: "Chunfeng Brew, it's really good wine, not intoxicating."
Before he finished speaking, he slid under the table.
Mo Lianshan was even more miserable. He lay on the ground, hugged the stool and shouted "Beauty".
Except for Liu Yuanchen, almost everyone in the audience was knocked down.
Looking at the room full of drunks, Liu Yuanchen said with disdain: "There's not a single one who can drink."
He stood up, tossed his Taoist robe, and walked out of the box gracefully.
Driving the flying boat, we left the Chunfeng Tower and returned to the Cave Mansion by the Yingyue River.
In the cave, Zhao Hong and Meng Tieshan feasted on a table of dishes.
The dishes on this table are exactly the same as those at the Chunfeng Tower celebration banquet.
Seeing Liu Yuanchen coming back, Meng Tieshan even said hello: "Brother, you are drinking over there. You must not be full. Eat more."
Liu Yuanchen waved his hand: "I'm not full, but I'm full of water. Why is there a table of food here?"
Zhao Hong chuckled: "Now everyone in the Qingdan Sect wants to embrace our Bahuang Pavilion's lap, so what does a table of food mean?
You have an anti-toxic constitution and you won’t get drunk no matter how much you drink. Come and have two more drinks with me. "
Liu Yuanchen picked up a bowl of wine: "I would like to toast Master."
Zhao Hong picked up the wine bowl and said, "Let's drink in our own cave, be more casual."
After drinking, Liu Yuanchen asked: "Master, what's going on over there at Tieding Mountain? Why do I feel like I'm acting with the Qingdan Sect?"
Zhao Hong chuckled: "You really guessed that as early as half a year ago, Moyun Sect had already planned to retreat.
It’s just that some people were unwilling to do so and kept putting it off. "
“Tieding Mountain is supported by Thousand Machines City, and they ask for the income from the Lingshi Mine from the Qingdan Sect. This is indeed not a negotiated deal.
Mainly because Thousand Machine City has taken a fancy to the special materials deep in the Red Wasteland and wants a share of the pie.
Making a fuss over the Tieding Mountain incident was also to test Shenting's intentions.
Shenting's energy was tied up in many places and it was unable to invest too many resources in the Red Wasteland.
Qianji City got involved, Shenting could use less force, and the two sides hit it off immediately. "
"What happened after that was just two families acting.
Originally, the two families were planning to fake a fight, but Qingdan Sect once again made a gesture of abandoning Jin'ao Lake to lure Moyun Sect to attack.
But I didn't expect Moyun Sect to be so restless. They took action even before the fighting started there. "
Liu Yuanchen nodded slightly: "I see, I said that the army from the rear is pressing on the border, how dare the great elder and the sect leader go to the eastern front line in person."
Zhao Hong smiled and said: "Yuan Chen, you have indeed made a great contribution this time by detecting the movements of evil cultivators.
If it weren't for you, Qingdan Sect might really suffer a big loss.
This time the Qingdan Sect will give you a lot of rewards, especially the ability to pick three treasures from the Finance Hall treasure house. You must seize this opportunity. "
Liu Yuanchen was a little curious: "Is it possible that there are treasures in the treasure house of the Finance Hall that you, Master, are interested in?
If there is really something you want, my disciple will get it for you. "
Zhao Hong shook his head: "It's not that I need it, but that you need it.
The Qingdan Sect has been rooted in the Red Wasteland for thousands of years, and has collected some good things.
For example, they have a lot of Xuanhuang Stone.
But they didn't know what they were doing, so they actually used black yellow stone to refine defensive weapons. "
