Chapter 34: Banquet

Three days later!

After Ye Qingxuan finished his day of cultivation, he left his small courtyard and walked toward the central plaza of the Dongxuan Fudi Cultivation Courtyard.

The Dongxuan Fudi Cultivation Courtyard was actually not large, covering an area of only a mere thousand square kilometers.

Having lived in the Dongxuan Fudi Cultivation Courtyard for so long, this was the first time Ye Qingxuan had observed the internal environment of the courtyard from up close.

Usually, Ye Qingxuan flew his sword directly, seeing the Dongxuan Fudi Cultivation Courtyard only from high above.

After walking for a long time, Ye Qingxuan found that most of the courtyards in the Dongxuan Fudi Cultivation Courtyard were the same size, and the ornamental spiritual plants outside the courtyards held no attraction for him.

Looking at these, he might as well find any mountain peak in the Profound Heaven Mountain Range; the peaks within the Profound Heaven Mountain Range were mostly beautiful and ethereal, with countless strange animals and plants.

Thus, Ye Qingxuan gave up the idea of walking, summoned his flying sword directly, and flew toward the central plaza of the Dongxuan Fudi Cultivation Courtyard.

After arriving near the plaza of the Dongxuan Fudi Cultivation Courtyard, Ye Qingxuan gave up flying his sword and walked into the plaza.

By the time Ye Qingxuan reached the plaza, quite a few people had already arrived.

There were a total of one hundred Dongxuan Fudi Cultivation Courtyard disciples from Ye Qingxuan's batch who entered the Profound Yi Tianzong together.

And now, in the entire Dongxuan Fudi Cultivation Courtyard, besides those in charge, there were only these one hundred Dongxuan Fudi Cultivation Courtyard disciples.

As for the previous batch of disciples, they had all successively broken through to Qi Refining perfection in the past few years, left the Dongxuan Fudi Cultivation Courtyard to contract spiritual land, and become true blessed land cultivators.

When Ye Qingxuan entered, he only drew the side-glances of a few people on the periphery; because they were not acquainted, those people did not come to disturb Ye Qingxuan.

He also sought peace and quiet, so he directly found a secluded seat on the periphery and sat down.

At this time, the seats were already filled with various spiritual fruits and wine.

After scanning the area, Ye Qingxuan clicked his tongue and thought secretly:

"A big move, this banquet must cost quite a few spirit stones, right?"

Looking at the spiritual fruits and wine in front of the table, Ye Qingxuan did not hold back and began to eat the spiritual fruits and drink the wine on his own.

Before long, the seats in the venue were full.

Beside Ye Qingxuan, there was also an extra little fatty with a face full of fortune.

After the little fatty sat down, he directly picked up a spiritual fruit and took a big bite, then looked at Ye Qingxuan and smiled:

"Brother, my name is Fu Dingtian, what should I call you? Are you also a disciple of the Dongxuan Fudi Cultivation Courtyard? How come I haven't seen you before?"

Hearing the little fatty's address, Ye Qingxuan gave him a strange look and said indifferently:

"I am Ye Qingxuan, a disciple of the Dongxuan Fudi Cultivation Courtyard."

"Ye Qingxuan? Wait, let me check!"

After speaking, the little fatty took out his disciple token, checked it for a while, and shouted:

"Wow, brother, you hide really deep! I actually don't have your contact mark!"

This left Ye Qingxuan with black lines all over his head!

Isn't it normal not to have his contact mark? They didn't know each other.

But the little fatty didn't stop, continuing:

"I knew it! Clearly one hundred people entered together, but I only collected the contact marks of ninety-eight people! I thought it was haunted!"

The little fatty ignored Ye Qingxuan's gradually darkening face and leaned toward Ye Qingxuan on his own:

"Brother, I'm only missing yours to collect the marks of all one hundred people from our batch. Let's be friends and exchange contact marks, shall we?"

"We aren't familiar, no exchange!"

Facing the little fatty's request, Ye Qingxuan directly refused.

But the little fatty didn't give up, instead acting shamelessly:

"Don't be like that! Brother, the first time is strange, the second time is familiar! Meeting is fate, you can't be so heartless!"

Ye Qingxuan wanted to continue refusing, but feeling the gazes attracted by the little fatty's voice, Ye Qingxuan could only grit his teeth and say:

"Fine!"

Fortunately, after he finished exchanging contact marks with the little fatty, the little fatty happily returned to his own seat and did not continue to pester him.

Ye Qingxuan finally breathed a sigh of relief in secret.

He finally knew how this little fatty managed to get everyone's contact marks; you couldn't hit him, and the little fatty was thick-skinned. If he insisted, everyone could only give it to him.

Anyway, a mark was no loss, so it wasn't worth pestering the little fatty.

After this unexpected little interlude, the banquet hosted by Lin Fan officially began.

Lin Fan held his wine glass, exchanged a few words with the friends around him, and then stood up in high spirits:

"I am deeply grateful that all the Junior Brothers could give Lin Fan face and attend this banquet!"

After speaking, he drank the cup of wine in his hand.

And there were quite a few disciples in the Dongxuan Fudi Cultivation Courtyard who had good friendships with Lin Fan, who spoke up in response and drank together.

Ye Qingxuan had no reaction to this, just watching everything in the venue indifferently.

The little fatty beside him, however, was excitedly jumping up and down; he didn't know what there was to be excited about.

After Lin Fan finished that cup of wine, he continued:

"Hosting all the Junior Brothers this time is, firstly, to gather with everyone before leaving, and secondly, there is a matter to discuss, and I hope all the Junior Brothers can agree!"

As soon as Lin Fan's voice fell, quite a few people in the inner circle spoke up in support of Lin Fan:

"Senior Brother Lin, just tell us what it is? We will definitely help if we can!"

"That's right! Senior Brother Lin, no need to be polite with us, just say it directly!"

"I have known Brother Lin for many years; Brother Lin's business is my business. Brother Lin, don't worry, just say it directly, everyone will agree."

Those people in the inner circle spoke one after another, almost replacing everyone in the venue to agree.

But many people on the periphery, including Ye Qingxuan, were just watching all this coldly, and many even had a hint of mockery on their faces!

"Sure enough, there is no such thing as a free banquet!"

Ye Qingxuan thought to himself, started eating melons and fruits, and watched this good show with great interest!

After Lin Fan received the responses and support from many friends, he shouted:

"Good! Since that's the case, I will speak directly!"

"We are all Junior and Senior Brothers who entered the Dongxuan Fudi Cultivation Courtyard together. Gathering everyone here today is because I hope everyone can form a Dongxuan Fudi Cultivator Alliance, so that we can look out for each other in the future. I wonder what everyone thinks?"

Hearing Lin Fan's words, someone in the venue immediately asked:

"Senior Brother Lin, how does this alliance work?"

"That's right! Senior Brother Lin, what do we need to do after joining the alliance?"

Facing the inquiries of several people, Lin Fan raised his hand slightly and smiled:

"Don't be anxious, everyone. Let me introduce two friends to you first!"

After speaking, he pointed to the two people not far behind him and said:

"These two are Senior Brothers Li Xuan and Zhu Dafu. They are Senior Brothers who entered the Profound Yi Tianzong in the same batch as us. Although they are not disciples of the Dongxuan Fudi Cultivation Courtyard, they are now outer disciples of the Profound Yi Tianzong at the Foundation Establishment Realm."

Li Xuan and Zhu Dafu stepped forward, did not interrupt Lin Fan's speech, and just looked at everyone in the venue with a smile.

And after a pause, Lin Fan continued:

"After we form the alliance, everyone's future blessed land output can be uniformly handed over to Senior Brother Li Xuan and Senior Brother Zhu Dafu to handle."

"Of course, everyone can rest assured that the alliance will purchase the resources produced in your blessed lands at market prices."

"And after everyone joins the alliance, if there are any materials that need to be purchased, you can uniformly report them to the alliance and let Senior Brother Li Xuan and Senior Brother Zhu Dafu send people to purchase them for us!" ===== CHAPTER 35 =====
