Longevity And Romance Begin With The Redemption Of A Good Family

Chapter 254 Surprise Banquet

May 1st arrives, the summer heat is scorching.

Although cultivators no longer have the concept of seasons, many people still come to the Lin Yuan Square to relax and cool off at this time.

At this moment, in a well-decorated private room in the Lin Yuan Square, a group of cultivators are toasting and exchanging cups.

This is a surprise banquet hosted by the manager of the Qingyun Shop in Gongyue City for the colleagues who are evacuating from Poyun City.

Most of the cultivators participating in the banquet are at the Foundation Building stage.

They have been here for a few days and are gradually adapting to the leisurely rhythm of Gongyue City.

As soon as Lu Yu arrived at the banquet, he caused a warm response.

Many cultivators at another table in the private room even went out of their way to come to Lu Yu and toast to him, trying to get acquainted.

Everyone wants to take this opportunity to establish a relationship with Lu Yu.

He infiltrated his divine sense into the storage waistband and communicated with his wives and concubines using jade slips.

Taking advantage of the messages sent by his wives and concubines, when the storage waistband lit up with white light, he quickly walked outside the private room, pretending to reply to the messages.

Just as he was trying to steal some leisure time, a senior and the manager approached from the side.

"Fellow Daoist Lu."

"We have already reported the situation in Poyun City to the headquarters of the Qingyun Shop."

"The headquarters has replied, instructing us evacuating cultivators to temporarily settle in Gongyue City."

"If the turmoil in Poyun City is not resolved in a few more days, the headquarters will intervene and mediate among the various sects in Xingzhong Continent."

Upon hearing the words of the senior, Lu Yu's eyes flashed with a hint of surprise.

The Qingyun Shop has branches in cities of all sizes in various continents, and it has a strong presence in the holy land for cultivators, Chaoyang Continent.

If they really intend to take the lead in mediating among the sects of Xingzhong Continent, they should be able to easily resolve any obstacles.

Moreover, with several Void God realm powerhouses dispatched here, they can almost handle any matter.

However, the Qingyun Shop has always been unwilling to get involved in the internal affairs of various continents and does not sponsor or support any faction.

Why is it different this time, and why release such news?

Seeing Lu Yu's serious expression, the manager quickly explained with a smile,

"In fact, according to the information obtained within the shop..."

"The main reason for the crisis in Poyun City this time is the appearance of a Void God realm powerhouse in Xingzhong Continent."

"This powerhouse is the Patriarch of the Holy Spirit Mountain, who has disrupted the original balance in Xingzhong Continent."

"And if the Patriarch of the Holy Spirit Mountain does not directly go to Chaoyang Continent within ten years, the Qingyun Shop will not take action, and the other major sects in Chaoyang Continent will not sit idly by."

Upon hearing this, Lu Yu's expression showed a hint of surprise, "Why is that? Are Void God realm powerhouses not allowed outside of Chaoyang Continent?"

"That's right."

"This is the rule implicitly agreed upon by the major top sects within Chaoyang Continent."

"Once, a cultivator who was confident in his speed violated this rule openly."

"In the end, he could not escape death, and his soul was completely destroyed."

"The Patriarch of the Holy Spirit Mountain has not made a move before, so the major top sects in Chaoyang Continent did not dare to act rashly."

"But until recently, a Nascent Soul stage cultivator from the Yue Ling Sect was killed, and even the secret technique of voluntarily reducing cultivation base couldn't save his Nascent Soul from being captured."

"So the sect sent people to investigate and confirm."

The manager explained with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Lu Yu nodded slightly, gradually understanding the situation.

No wonder Fairy Wanyue had said that even in Chaoyang Continent, she couldn't guarantee the safety of herself and her wives and concubines without the help of the elders in the sect.

However, he still had some doubts in his heart at this moment.

Because Grandma Wanxiang has already told herself in advance that the Holy Spirit Mountain Patriarch has already advanced to the Void God realm.

Why didn't the cultivators of the Wanxiang Sect inform other sects about the promotion of the Holy Spirit Mountain Patriarch to the Void God realm?

Do we still need to confirm and investigate?

After thinking for a long time, Lu Yu threw his doubts to Manager Ren and Senior Xu.

Senior Xu frowned slightly and pondered for a moment before saying, "The Wanxiang Sect can't be considered a top force in Chaoyang Continent."

"As newcomers, it is inevitable that they will have some unruly behavior, but most of it is hidden in secret."

"And these rules are only default. Only when a Void God realm powerhouse appears once in a thousand years, will someone mention it."

"If it weren't for the message from the Zonglou, Manager Ren and I would have had no idea."

Upon hearing this, Lu Yu understood most of it.

In fact, the rule of going to Chaoyang Continent to reach the Void God realm is probably only practiced by the top sects within Chaoyang Continent.

There are still many loopholes.

For example, one can first report to Chaoyang Continent and then use similar teleportation arrays or leave behind avatars to bypass this default rule.

If one really wants to avoid it, they only need to change their tactics and make it impossible for the top sects in Chaoyang Continent to track their whereabouts, thus completely avoiding this rule.

Many rules, especially those that have become customary, will gradually be forgotten after hundreds of years.

"So, within a few decades, the situation in Jingguo Poyun City will hopefully stabilize?"

"That's right."

"With the help of my Qingyun Commercial Gate and other top sects in Chaoyang Continent, even if the Holy Spirit Mountain Patriarch has big plans, he will have to think twice."

After Senior Xu finished speaking, he smiled and clasped his hands towards Lu Yu.

"Fellow Daoist Lu, Gongyue City is good, but the Holy Spirit Mountain is where Fellow Daoist made a name for himself."

"If Fellow Daoist or Fellow Daoist's companions are homesick, after Poyun City stabilizes, you can also return and stay for a while."

Upon hearing this, Lu Yu also smiled and said, "Thank you, Senior, for your concern."

After chatting for a while, the two returned to the private room and joined other Fellow Daoists in toasting and exchanging cups.

Not long after, Yao Qianji also came out of the private room and walked towards Lu Yu.

He had a bold smile on his face and looked at Lu Yu, saying, "In a few days, I plan to take my nephew to the depths of the abyss for training."

"I am a cultivator skilled in combat and cannot stay in a comfortable environment for too long, lest I slack off."

Upon hearing this, Lu Yu slapped his storage belt and took out a bag of spirit beast pills that could only be refined by Foundation Building cultivators, and smiled.

"If I remember correctly, Fellow Daoist Yao's nephew has spirit beasts to assist in battle."

"These spirit beast pills can temporarily stimulate the potential of spirit beasts. If taken regularly, they can also enhance cultivation."

"I wish Fellow Daoist success and an early return."

The spirit beast pills that can be refined by Foundation Building cultivators are not considered precious, but they are still quite valuable.

Especially the ones that can stimulate the potential of spirit beasts and enhance cultivation, their price can reach over a hundred high-grade spirit stones.

If the spirit beast has reached the later stage of Foundation Building, with a little stimulation, it might even temporarily reach the Golden Core stage, making it a great help in battle.

Although Yao Qianji is skilled in combat and is also a cooperating combat cultivator of the Qingyun Commercial Gate, his status is still peripheral, and the offerings he receives each year are not many.

I'm afraid they can't even cover one-tenth or one-twelfth of his expenses in the Qingyun Commercial Gate.

Yao Qianji knew that even though his nephew had prepared similar spirit beast pills specifically for this training, there were only half a bag at most.

They were leftovers from the previous Qi Refining stage training and their quality was definitely not as good as the ones Lu Yu gave.

But even so, Yao Qianji still waved his hand and refused, saying, "Fellow Daoist Lu, the gift is too generous. I'm sorry, but I can't accept it."
