Chapter 288 Small Gathering
Three days later.
Qin Ming accepted the invitation and set off on time for the banquet at Azure Sea Immortal City.
When he arrived at the Outer City of Immortal City, he discovered that the entire Inner City was festively decorated, filled with a celebratory atmosphere.
It should be because True Person Nalan Xi had a Breakthrough to Mid Core Formation Stage, and the Rogue Cultivators in the city spontaneously organized a city-wide celebration for her.
This also indirectly demonstrated True Person Cang Hai's status among these Rogue Cultivators.
Near Immortal City, streams of light of various colors were dazzling, and Cultivators entering and exiting were in a constant stream.
Before Qin Ming even entered the city, he saw a Blue Escape Light flying from the direction of Vast Ocean Peak, steadily stopping in front of him.
The Escaping Light dispersed, and the figure of a beautiful woman emerged. Nalan Xi revealed a hint of a smile on her face, extended her hand and made a gesture of invitation, "Fellow Daoist Qin has arrived, the other Fellow Daoists have already arrived, please come inside."
"Haha! Congratulations to Daoist Friend Nalan on breaking through to Mid Core Formation Stage, taking another step forward on the Immortal Path." Qin Ming also put on a smile and congratulated Nalan Xi.
He also did not expect that Nalan Xi would personally come out to greet him.
"This is all thanks to Fellow Daoist Qin's Dust Vanquishing Pill, otherwise, the matter of Mid Stage would still be far off." Nalan Xi said with gratitude in her eyes.
After speaking, the two flew towards the summit of Vast Ocean Peak.
Below Immortal City, many people saw this scene.
The Cultivators began to discuss amongst themselves.
"That Senior just now, should be Perfected Person Wangyue, right? To actually attract the City Lord to personally greet him."
"That's for sure, besides Perfected Person Wangyue, who else could have this level of treatment."
"I just saw Ancestor Wan of Mysterious Stream Valley come, but I didn't see True Person Cang Hai go to greet him."
"This is enough to show Perfected Person Wangyue's status in the hearts of all Core Formation Grandmasters!"
"."
The Summit of Canghai Peak, shrouded in clouds and mist, outside a simple and elegant Grotto.
Green Bamboo reflected in the water, flowing streams trickling, Pavilions scattered in a well-organized manner.
When Qin Ming and Nalan Xi arrived, three people were already seated in the gazebo, all exuding Core Formation Stage Magical Power Aura.
Except for one person whom Qin Ming did not recognize, the other two were his old acquaintances, namely Wei Wuyai of Thunder Origin Sect, and Ancestor Wan of Profound Stream Valley.
Those who could be invited by True Person Nalan Xi to a small celebration gathering were naturally all Core Formation Stage Cultivators.
Adding Qin Ming, more than half of the Core Formation Stage in the Southern Wilderness Cultivation World were gathered here.
"Fellow Daoist Qin, Long Admired name!"
"This Old Man Lu Xiao of Beast King Valley of Wu Kingdom, when Fellow Daoist held the Golden Core Grand Ceremony last time, I happened to be in Secluded Cultivation and couldn't get away, unable to personally go to congratulate, it is truly regrettable!"
"Meeting you today, Fellow Daoist Qin is truly young and promising, we must have a few more drinks with Fellow Daoist Qin!"
Beside Wei Wuyai and the other two, an Old Man with white hair, in his twilight years, cupped his hands towards Qin Ming and greeted him enthusiastically.
This person had Chicken Skin and Crane Hair, but his eyes were as sharp as an eagle's, giving people a feeling of vigor despite his age.
Qin Ming secretly used the Mystical Power of 'Yin Yang Mysterious Mirror', looking at Lu Xiao, he saw that although this person looked old, the verdant Vitality in his body was lush and vibrant, he still had at least a hundred years of Lifespan left.
It seemed that he had also Cultivated some Cultivation Method of Prolong Life and Extend Lifespan.
"Daoist Friend Lu is too polite, thanks to Daoist Friend Nalan, haven't we gotten to know each other now? Haha!" Qin Ming smiled faintly and returned a greeting to the other party.
"Fellow Daoist Qin, long time no see!"
"Fellow Daoist Qin, you must have a few more drinks later."
Wei Wuyai and Ancestor Wan also came over to greet Qin Ming.
In the Cultivation World, Strength is respected, since Qin Ming single-handedly killed two Golden Core of Soaring Cloud Sect.
Qin Ming's Status in the Core Formation Circle has also risen in a straight line, therefore, the Core Formation Grandmasters of several kingdoms are quite polite to him.
"Several Fellow Daoists, don't just stand there, please take your seats and eat and drink."
Nalan Xi invited everyone to be seated.
Subsequently, the attendants of Immortal City brought up a table full of delicacies.
Nalan Xi took out a jar of Spirit Wine, then uncovered the seal, and a charming aroma of Jade Nectar permeated out.
The several Grandmasters present were invigorated upon seeing this, their eyes gleaming.
"Haha! Come, try Fellow Daoist Qin's Jade Unicorn Wine."
"This Seat is also borrowing flowers to offer Buddha, spending no small effort to get such a jar from Mirror Snow Pavilion."
Wei Wuyai was naturally extremely familiar with this Spirit Wine, in his mind, Jade Unicorn Wine could be called the number one Fine Wine in the Southern Wilderness Cultivation World.
"So it's Fellow Daoist Qin's Spirit Wine, truly proficient in everything!"
"Wan is deeply impressed."
Subsequently, the five people raised their cups, clinked them together, and drank the Spirit Wine in their hands in one gulp.
Revealing a look of intoxication.
"Truly good wine!"
Cups and dishes crisscrossed, after three rounds of wine.
Following that, Wei Wuyai took out a brocade box first, handed it to Nalan Xi and said, "This is a small Congratulatory Gift from me, a Revitalizing Talisman, to congratulate Daoist Friend Nalan on Mid Core Formation Stage, Immortal Path boundless."
The others, seeing that Wei Wuyai made a move, it was such a high-end item.
Although they did not show it on the surface, they were already secretly amazed in their hearts.
Revitalizing Talisman was a Tier 3 Mid Grade Talisman, its greatest function was to save lives.
As long as it was not an instantly fatal injury, this Talisman could heal most of the injuries in a short period of time, and restore to peak condition.
The rarity of it can be imagined.
The Social Graces of Immortal Cultivation, he had arranged it properly.
"Then thank you Daoist Wei." Nalan Xi's eyes lit up, and she smilingly accepted the Congratulatory Gift. Next was Ancestor Wan, he sent twenty High-Grade Spirit Stones and a Tier 3 Mid Grade Weapon Refinement Material.
Lu Xiao of Beast King Valley of Wu Kingdom, then took out a delicate Porcelain Bottle, handed it to Nalan Xi and said, "Congratulations to Daoist Friend Nalan on Great Improvement in Cultivation, this Low-Grade Third-Order Beast Soul Pill, can improve the Cultivation of Spirit Beasts, it is a small token of my esteem."
They all knew that Nalan Xi had a Tier 3 Spirit Turtle Beast Pet, Lu Xiao's Congratulatory Gift could be considered to have reached Nalan Xi's heart.
"Thank you Daoist Friend Lu."
In Nalan Xi's Expression, a rare hint of joy was revealed, it seemed that she was also extremely concerned about her Beast Pet.
Next, it was Qin Ming's turn.
Everyone's gazes gathered on him.
Several Grandmasters were also curious, what kind of Congratulatory Gift Qin Ming would give, after all, in addition to being a Tier 3 Alchemy Dao Grandmaster, his Spirit Plant Skill was also not low.
Good things naturally would not be too few.
They saw Qin Ming with a smile on his face, unhurriedly take out a delicate Jade Bottle, and handed it to Nalan Xi.
"Congratulations to Daoist Friend Nalan on Great Improvement in Cultivation, this Longevity Fruit Pill is a small token of Qin's esteem."
High-Tier Longevity Spirit Pill!
As soon as he said this, the other Core Formation Grandmasters present, their breathing became stagnant! The name of Tier 3 Mid Grade Longevity Fruit Pill, they still knew, but they had only heard of its name, and had never seen it with their own eyes, let alone taken this Spirit Pill.
That was a Miraculous Spirit Pill that could extend Lifespan by eighty years! Which Golden Core Ancestor did not yearn for it? "This, unexpectedly in a short period of time, Fellow Daoist Qin, has already advanced to Tier 3 Mid Grade Grandmaster of Alchemy Realm!"
"Truly gratifying and congratulations!"
Several people came back to their senses and complimented Qin Ming.
"Haha! Qin is also just lucky."
Nalan Xi also excitedly accepted the Jade Bottle, and sincerely thanked Qin Ming.
Lifespan, for her, its importance was self-evident.
"Fellow Daoist Qin's such a generous gift, This Seat hereby thanks you!"
"In the future, if Fellow Daoist Qin has any needs, just mention them."
The other Grandmasters, watching this scene, also revealed extremely envious Expressions.
Qin Ming this time Pill Concocting, four Longevity Fruit Pills were produced, he himself took one, and there were still three Spirit Pills left.
Removing the one promised to Ancestor Yuheng, there were still two Pills left, he thought it might be better to do a favor.
When Nalan Xi came to participate in Qin Ming's Golden Core Grand Ceremony, the Congratulatory Gift she sent was also not small, his return gift could not be too shabby.
Qin Ming's move immediately raised his Status in the hearts of several people by a large margin.
Because, even in the Nascent Soul Sect of Great Jin, Grandmasters who could Pill Concoct Tier 3 Mid Grade Spirit Pills were also rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns.
Moreover, it was still Longevity type, belonging to the High-Grade Pill Medicine that was most difficult to Pill Concoct.
After the gift-giving ended, the Golden Core True Persons present raised their cups and drank heartily, communicating with each other.
After all, these Grandmasters were all busy with Sect Affairs, and such opportunities to gather together were also quite rare.
"By the way, Fellow Daoist Qin, after you achieved Golden Core, what are your plans?" Wei Wuyai put down his wine cup and suddenly asked.
"I heard that you even rejected Fire Palace's invitation, do you really plan to always engage in Hard Cultivation on Moon Gazing Island?"
Qin Ming slightly pondered upon hearing this and said, "Well, Qin's original plan was to Travel to Great Jin Immortal Dynasty, in addition to broadening my horizons, and by the way, seeking Nascent Soul Opportunity."
"But I heard that Fire Palace, seems to be fighting with another great enemy, going to Great Jin at this time, I'm afraid it's not a good time either, so it's temporarily put on hold."
"Therefore, next, Qin plans to Travel around the Four Nations, but the time has not yet been decided."
At this time.
Lu Xiao of Beast King Valley, first cautiously raised his hand and cast a Barrier, then said, "That's right, what Fellow Daoist Qin said is right."
"According to This Old Man's information, I'm afraid the Battle Situation of the Upper Sect is extremely pessimistic, if it weren't for the fact that our Southern Wilderness Cultivation World's Resources are really too barren, and there are very few High-Level Cultivators, and Nascent Soul Power also can't see it, otherwise, it is estimated that a few of us would have been forcibly Conscription to participate in the War."
"When gods fight, mortals suffer."
"Since ancient times, such examples are too numerous to count."
"Alas, for Vassal Cultivation World like us, once Nascent Soul Sect issues an order, we simply cannot disobey."
"Fortunately, Fire Palace has not interfered in the affairs of the Southern Wilderness Cultivation World for thousands of years."
"Now the Ghost Plague in Liang Kingdom is getting worse."
"I hope the War of the Upper Sect will also end sooner, alas! It's truly a troubled time!"
The Grandmasters present, hearing this news, their Expressions were also quite solemn.
Nascent Soul Sect War, if their Subordinate Sects were drawn into it, naturally there would be no good end.
Lu Xiao finished speaking, and seemed to realize that the Scene atmosphere was a bit heavy, not suitable for today.
So he changed the subject, and said with a smile:
"If Fellow Daoist Qin comes to Wu Kingdom, be sure to notify This Old Man, Beast King Valley will definitely eagerly welcome you!"
"My Liang Kingdom also welcomes you very much! Hehe, but... this is not a good time either." Ancestor Wan said with a wry smile.
Qin Ming thanked them one by one, then he pondered for a moment, thought of something, and said to everyone present:
"Fellow Daoists, Qin obtained some Information when I recently killed Duanmu Sheng of Soaring Cloud Sect."
"Jin Kingdom was already infiltrated by 'Prime Devil Sect' among the Six Demonic Path Sects decades ago, and they colluded secretly with each other, this invasion against Wei Kingdom was also premeditated for a long time."
"Even the Seal deep in the Tai Lake Ruins of Liang Kingdom being broken, also has their shadow."
"The Demonic Path's plot this time is not small, we must be on guard."
Qin Ming gave a reminder to the Sect Grandmasters present.
