The next morning, Zhou He arrived with Fu Fangsheng, Zhao Sanduo, and Monk Ben Ming.
"Congratulations to Brother Lu on breaking through to the next realm!" Fu Fangsheng handed over a cloth bag, "This is a little celebration gift from us brothers~"
Lu Yao opened it and, sure enough, it was a pack of "Blood Cores". It seemed that since their last parting, the three of them had killed quite a few vampires.
"Thanks for the honor, brothers! It's enough that you came, what's with bringing gifts~"
"You're a bird-raiser too, so don't mention it."
As everyone took their seats, they realized the banquet was excessively lavish.
Lu Yao had ordered ten medicinal dishes from the Four Seas Tower, all of them tough delicacies like rhino head and whole elephant trunk.
These medicinal dishes were slow-cooked to unleash their power, each stewing in a clay pot as large as a small water urn.
