Chapter 185 Golden Elixir Ceremony (Part 1) (Additional update with 600 monthly votes)
The entire Wu Mansion was decorated with lanterns and colors to celebrate the Golden Elixir Ceremony of our ancestors.
People were coming and going at the gate of the mansion, and from time to time someone with a heavy courtesy was called out by the old housekeeper of the Wu Mansion in public, causing bursts of exclamations.
"The Jiang family will give you a hundred kilograms of red-blooded spiritual rice, and a top-notch magic weapon called red scale armor!"
"The Lin family will give you a pair of top-grade magical weapons, male and female flying swords, and a top-grade sword art!"
"The Chen family will give you three second-level forbidden talismans, one second-level high-quality talisman and ice-sealing talisman, and twelve second-level talismans!"
"The Zhang family will give you a low-grade spiritual weapon, the Mysterious Fire Alchemy Furnace!"
"Wanjia will give you the best spiritual beast eggs, a third-level alien beast ice glass dragon egg!"
"The Li family is sending a five-hundred-year-old elixir, a Hualong ginseng!"
"The Zhao family will give you a copy of the second-order low-grade formation, Youhuang Formation, and a thousand spirit stones!"
…
One after another, the forces appeared, all of which gave the new Jindan masters enough face, and most of them were the specialties of their own forces.
The previous eight great immortal cultivating families, the Jiang family, the Lin family, the Zhang family, the Wan family, the Chen family, and the Zhao family all gave generous gifts.
However, the Zhao family has declined, so they can only give him a shabby second-level formation plate, plus a thousand spirit stones.
As for the Zhou family, because they offended the wrong people, the main line was wiped out overnight, and now only a group of old, weak, sick and disabled are left lingering in the clan.
"The Zhou family is sending five top-grade spiritual stones as a gift, as well as some specialties from the clan!"
The old housekeeper was reading the gift list and couldn't catch his breath.
Five top-grade spiritual stones!
One high-grade spiritual stone is equivalent to one hundred medium-grade spiritual stones, which is equivalent to ten thousand low-grade spiritual stones. Moreover, in places like Shangyang City’s Immortal Cultivation World, there is almost no market for it. Generally, you have to pay a premium of 10% or 20% to get it. When there is an urgent need, it is possible to start at half the price.
Five high-grade spiritual stones are almost equivalent to 60,000 to 70,000 low-grade spiritual stones.
You know, when Yu Xian packed up and sold all the Zhao family's properties in Shangyang City, they only exchanged for a few spiritual stones.
This generous gift from the Zhou family was given directly to half of the Zhao family.
Sure enough, as the old butler's roll call ended, all the monks who had been watching the excitement outside the Wu Mansion exclaimed.
"Damn it, five high-grade spiritual stones, will the Zhou family have a hard time? I heard before that someone exchanged a high-grade spiritual stone for a foundation-building pill."
"Doesn't it mean that the Zhou family directly sent five Foundation Establishment Pills?!"
"Don't forget there are some specialties. There are five high-grade spiritual stones as a base. These specialties must cost at least several thousand spiritual stones."
"My dear, I've heard that the Zhou family is the most profitable among the eight aristocratic families. I didn't expect that a skinny camel bigger than a horse could still have such a huge wealth."
"I heard that Master Danyang took action that night, but he only destroyed the Zhou family and did not conduct any looting. Therefore, most of the wealth of the Zhou family was preserved and was brought back to the clan by the remaining monks of the Zhou family.
Now it seems that the rumors are true. "
"No wonder the Zhou family has been favored by Jie Xiu over the years, and they don't even dare to leave the clan. Now that their wealth is revealed again, I am afraid it will further arouse Jie Xiu's evil intentions."
"I think the Zhou family is committing suicide. Instead of being trapped in the clan's territory holding the spirit stone, it's better to go out and gamble and get connected with Zhenren Wu. What kind of robbery cultivator dares to provoke the Zhou family."
"The Zhou family is working hard."
…
A group of monks who were not qualified to enter the Wu Mansion were talking a lot outside, looking at the gifts being sent into the Wu Mansion one after another with greedy eyes.
Just the roll call gifts on the gift list are worth hundreds of thousands of spirit stones. Add in the gifts from some small forces, and I am afraid that just receiving the gifts will cost two to three hundred thousand spirit stones.
It was in this warm atmosphere that Yu Xian followed Yulan into the Wu Mansion from the side door.
If you want to enter through the front door, you must first take out the gift.
Yu Xian asked Yulan to randomly give a piece of low-grade spiritual stone, wrap it in a jade box and tie it with a beautiful bow. It looks very high-end, so it's okay if you mean it.
Yu Lan presented the jade box, and after entering the house, she and Yu Xian found a less conspicuous place to sit down and waited quietly for the banquet to begin.
Her current identity is the captain of the Taxation Department and a foundation-building monk. She can also change her seat in the inner courtyard to eat, and have the opportunity to meet Patriarch Wu in person.
If you were to be the patriarch of an ordinary small family, even if you gave him hundreds or even thousands of spiritual stones, he would still be able to sit on the outside and envy others.
"Ms. sir, is this really okay?"
Magnolia seemed to have done something bad, she was excited and nervous at the same time, her cheeks showed a touch of pink, and her skin could be broken by blowing, making people want to take a bite.
Yu Xian leaned close to Yulan's ear and whispered:
"We are here to give him face. Although there is only one spiritual stone, it is more precious than any other gift."
If no one else comes, Patriarch Wu may not be in the mood to hold a grand ceremony, but should worry about his own funeral.
Yu Lan's ears itched, and her body unconsciously moved closer to Yu Xian, very affectionate.
"Fellow Daoist Lan, long time no see, you have become beautiful again."
A gentle and polite voice suddenly sounded in their ears.
Yu Xian turned around, looking a little surprised.
"It's you?"
The person coming was none other than Wu Yi, who was captured by the law enforcement team a few days ago. At this moment, he had a proud smile on his face, a standard villain face, and lowered his voice.
"I said, the law enforcement team can't control me, you shouldn't make me angry, now it's your turn to be fearful and fearful.
It won't be long before you kneel down and beg me, hahaha..."
After saying that, he turned around and walked away without giving Yu Xian a chance to speak.
"Ms. sir, do you know him?"
Yulan asked doubtfully.
"He pestered me several times before at the Taxation Department. Then the Wu family was surrounded and I never saw him again. I didn't expect him to be still alive."
Yu Xian nodded helplessly.
"Yeah, an idiot."
If nothing unexpected happens, Patriarch Wu, who received his summons, will perform a great show of annihilating relatives in public today, and then there will be a small climax of appearing as a saint in front of everyone who loves to see it.
The arrangements are clear.
Shangyang City has never produced a local Jindan real person, and it is not clear what the formal Jindan ceremony is.
Therefore, this Golden Elixir Ceremony is more like a hundred-year-old flowing water banquet.
As guests entered the venue, delicacies with full color, aroma and taste were served to the table, and drinks were provided in unlimited quantities.
It’s just that not many people used chopsticks.
Although the food on the table is delicious, there are very few that can be called spiritual food, and it is not worth their loss.
Those who can sit in are not short of this meal.
Yu Xian also took a few bites and didn't use chopsticks much.
With his current strength and position, he doesn't need to make any unique moves to show off his personality.
the other side.
Wearing a green outer robe with various rattan flowers and plants embroidered on the inner lining, Patriarch Wu entered the venue amidst everyone's expectations.
He first greeted the monks he was familiar with, and then walked onto the rostrum that had been set up under the gaze of everyone.
He smiled very broadly, like a child who was almost 200 years old.
"I am very grateful that all of you, my comrades, can come to attend my Golden Elixir Ceremony. Taking this opportunity, I just have something to announce."
As soon as the words fell, the whole place fell into silence, and heavy pressure unconsciously appeared in the air.
Because they know.
What Patriarch Wu says next will determine the future situation of Shangyang City.
"first……"
Patriarch Wu's smile faded, and his voice suddenly became a little heavy.
"Everyone whose name is called next comes on stage."
"Wu Feng, Wu Yong, Wu Yi, Wu Wenbo, Wu Liyuan..."
