Chapter 666

Azure Void, night banquet.

This was the first time Wei Yuan had held a banquet since Azure Void existed.

Because it happened suddenly, there wasn't even a suitable place, so Wei Yuan temporarily cleared out the courtyard where the cultivators usually discussed matters, and then discovered there were no chefs and no ingredients.

So Wei Yuan urgently borrowed chefs and ingredients from various city restaurants and businesses, and finally, at dusk, the banquet was started.

The main hall where the banquet was held was only of the standard of an ordinary wealthy family, and the courtyard was not spacious either.

The cultivators of the Primal Tai Tai Chu Gong were all cultivation fanatics and didn't care about worldly enjoyments like clothing, food, housing, or transportation. Of course, none of them admitted to being stimulated by a nineteen-year-old Dharma Form cultivator.

However, the Azure Void night banquet also had its unique features. The entire small courtyard was filled with spiritual mist, and what was rising was actually immortal spiritual Qi. In a corner of the courtyard, several orchid plants were planted, budding and dripping with tenderness. Against the wall was a water-blue flower tree, glowing with fluorescent light, exuding a chilling coolness, driving away the heat and humidity unique to the Shaman domain.

At this moment, the entire courtyard was filled with immortal spiritual Qi; if a mortal stood there and smelled it for a while, they could prolong their life. This was something ordinary princes and nobles couldn't have.

A large table was set in the main hall, Consort Yuan naturally sat in the seat of honor, and Wei Yuan and Zhao Tong accompanied her on the left and right. Then almost all the cultivators of the Primal Tai Tai Chu Gong arrived, only Zhang Sheng was in seclusion and didn't arrive.

Consort Yuan's name was widely known, and with this opportunity, the cultivators of the Primal Tai Tai Chu Gong naturally all wanted to see her.

But this was not what they really cared about; they cared about something else, just like the whispered conversation between Xu Xu Henshui and Sun Yu before entering.

Xu Xu Henshui immediately said, "We won't return until we're drunk tonight!"

Sun Yu asked strangely, "You don't drink, why are you talking drunk first?"

"Isn't Consort Yuan here tonight!"

Sun Yu was even more strange, "You are not as good-looking as her, and you can't beat her, shouldn't you hate her to the bone?"

Xu Xu Henshui said angrily, "Am I such a narrow-minded person?"

"Aren't you?"

"... Let's talk about business! Why don't you think about why Consort Yuan suddenly ran to Azure Void from so far away? Who among us has ever had contact with her?"

A sharp light suddenly flashed in Sun Yu's eyes, "Could it be..."

Xu Xu Henshui sneered, "Yun girl just spent an hour dressing up, what do you think?"

Sun Yu looked serious, "With such a big scene, we really must not return until we're drunk tonight!"

At this time, the sun set behind the western mountains, the bell rang nine times, and the evening banquet officially began.

Wei Yuan felt that the smile on his face was exceptionally fake, but he really couldn't laugh.

Bao Yun sat on the lower left, Feng Feng Tingyu sat on the lower right, Sun Yu and Xu Xu Henshui were adjacent, the old Daoist Master Chuhe and Feng Feng Chutang were shoulder to shoulder, Yu Yu Zhizhuo sat silently on the lower seat, his eyes bright, looking at the center of the table.

But he was really too deliberate; who didn't know that he possessed a divine bird and could see all the movements around him?

Before the banquet started, Wei Yuan had already introduced everyone at the table, including Feng Feng Tingyu; most of them could be considered his elders. Consort Yuan could be considered Wei Yuan's superior, and both sides could be said to be of equal status. After the introduction, Wei Yuan didn't know what to say.

At this moment, he finally realized how vivid the phrase "sitting on pins and needles" was.

Seeing that the atmosphere at the table was becoming increasingly solemn, and a shattered domain was about to form above the table, Wei Yuan hurriedly raised his glass and said, "That... eat well and drink well!"

The cultivators of the Primal Tai Tai Chu Gong raised their glasses one after another, drank them in one gulp, and then True Person Master Chuhe flicked his robe sleeves, and the jade pot flew around the table, automatically filling everyone up.

This wine was the spiritual wine he brewed himself; although it wasn't aged, it exuded a fresh aura of grass and trees, said to be based on the rain from the day of rain, the dew from the day of White Dew, the frost from the day of Frost Descent, and the snow from the day of Light Snow, and added many strange treasures excavated from deep underground, nourishing the Qi and spirit, which was not easy to drink outside.

At the banquet, Consort Yuan's prosperous appearance went without saying; Bao Yun looked plain, but her hair accessories and clothing were all carefully dressed.

The dark patterns on the sky-blue soft smoke gauze long dress were like flowing wind and returning snow, and the moon-white ice silk ribbons wrapped around her two arms were like falling moonlight. Her black hair was half-tied behind her head with a spiritual wood hairpin, and two strands hung down from her temples, moving with the wind. Her porcelain-white cheeks were filled with crystal-like transparency and purity, and a mountain peach color permeated between her eyebrows, exuding a youthful aura from the inside out, like gardenia flowers blooming, elegant and clear, a natural beauty.

Feng Feng Tingyu was busy eating; although she didn't wear makeup, some of her small movements and expressions were quite unique, and the more she looked, the better she looked. And if you looked at her for a little longer, you would feel that she was like a volcano that could erupt at any time, with terrifying energy in her petite and full body.

Besides the three women, there was also Xu Xu Henshui, whose every frown and smile was a painting, with a bone-casting appearance, and her appearance was not much inferior.

Wei Yuan was glad that the teacher had gone into seclusion.

The several unscrupulous uncles at the banquet were drinking and eating, in high spirits.

Feng Feng Chutang picked up a piece of crispy fish and praised, "This piece of fish is cooked extremely well, showing great craftsmanship! I didn't expect there to be such famous chefs in Azure Void. It's a pity your teacher isn't here, otherwise, with such a good taste, she would have to taste it no matter what."

It was really mentioning the pot that shouldn't be mentioned; suddenly hearing the teacher's name, Wei Yuan trembled slightly. Consort Yuan's gaze drifted over at this moment, seemingly intentional or unintentional.

Consort Yuan was calm and tried every dish. By comparison, Bao Yun only used her chopsticks once, then put them down, constantly playing with the glass wine cup in her hand.

The shattered light of the glass wine cup fell on the table, like an uneasy state of mind.

Consort Yuan looked around, took the lead in raising her wine cup, and said to Bao Yun, "Sister Bao, I heard about you when I was far away in the Jin Palace, and now I finally see you in person. It's really good, the Bao family is in its prime, and you are also a phoenix among people, with a boundless future. As a sister, I toast you a cup!"

Bao Yun raised her wine cup with both hands and smiled shallowly, replying, "I cannot accept the title of sister; you are a senior, I should be the one to toast you. It's just that I was a bit dazed just now, I didn't expect that this peerless beauty who should be hidden in the deep palace could actually be seen in Azure Void, I am really lucky."

A wail in Wei Yuan's heart, he stopped talking and moving, and went to play dead.

The unscrupulous uncles were shining with eyes, focused, unwilling to let go of any detail.

Consort Yuan smiled slightly, and the banquet was brightened by her appearance. She took a light sip, letting the wine soak her lips more brightly, and then said, "Also, my calling myself sister is indeed abrupt. As for the palace, where is it a good place? Which of the powerful families and immortal sects doesn't know?

In the deep palace, it is said to be worry-free about food and clothing, but one doesn't dare to sleep soundly at night. If something really happens, how can the royal family afford it or protect it? There is no one to rely on in the court.

If I had any way, I wouldn't have run thousands of miles to Azure Void to avoid disaster. Coming here this time, I have even lost my face."

Hearing these words, Bao Yun was actually a bit guilty, and for a moment didn't know what to say.

After all, she was still young, and she was rendered unable to fight back by Consort Yuan's move of advancing by retreating and attacking while defending.

Feng Feng Chutang coughed lightly and said, "The strength of Zhao Li is even better than the Bao family. The lady's background is no worse than anyone else's."

Seeing that Bao Yun had fallen into a disadvantage, Feng Feng Chutang entered the field directly, secretly pointing out the strength of Consort Yuan's family background, exposing her true face of selling misery.

Consort Yuan sighed, "Small families have the goodness of small families, and big families have the difficulties of big families. Being related to the emperor is even more so. I have been strong since I was a child, studying hard, and my knowledge and cultivation are not inferior to my brothers and sisters, and my father has seen it all.

With my father's ambition, he would definitely not want to see a wise monarch ascend the throne of the Jin Kingdom, nor would he want to see a young monarch ascend the throne. So if I get some favor, it will become a thorn in my father's side. As for that bit of blood kinship, what does it count for in front of the throne?

I heard that Master Feng is good at calculation, then why not calculate how many of the people who entered the palace to assassinate were sent by my father?"

Hearing these words, Feng Feng Chutang was also unable to refute. As for calculation, that was unnecessary; Consort Yuan saying this must be certain. Calculating at the banquet would really be tearing off the face.

Feng Feng Chutang would naturally not lose if he debated seriously. But this was not a life-and-death battlefield, just supporting his own disciple, so if the first sentence didn't gain the upper hand, he couldn't say the second sentence.

Feng Feng Chutang was calm and kicked True Person Master Chuhe secretly.

True Person Master Chuhe realized and said loudly, "Well said! Come, let's drink a big cup!"

Then the old Daoist Master Chuhe drank it in one gulp, and there was no more.

Feng Feng Chutang looked at Xu Xu Henshui, Xu Xu Henshui nodded slightly, then looked at Consort Yuan, suddenly lost her mind, and said, "Your earrings are rare, they must be from the hands of a famous master! I just don't know which master could carve the charm of this bird."

Consort Yuan said, "Master Xu has good eyes! This was rewarded by the ancestor when I was a child. It is said to be from 3,700 years ago, from the hands of Master Master Baoshi."

Xu Xu Henshui's eyes lit up, "Master Baoshi's authentic works are rare, and most of them are calligraphy and paintings, and carving skills are rarely passed down. I didn't expect to see one today."

Consort Yuan said, "Master Master Baoshi is good at freehand brushwork, actually purely in terms of carving skills, it is very ordinary, but that charm is what others don't have..."

The two of them discussed jade like this, and it was very enthusiastic.

Feng Feng Chutang was helpless, only Sun Yu and Yu Yu Zhizhuo were left.

The Master Zhi Dan Loose Practitioner suddenly nodded slightly and said, "So he went to gather energy."

"Fortunately, I made it back in time for the pill to be finished." Wei Yuan came to the alchemy furnace and directly threw in a thousand strands of azure energy. The pills inside the furnace had already matured, and under the point of luck, they instantly burst into five-colored light, forming a brilliant pillar of light that shot straight into the sky!

One by one, spirit pills flew out of the alchemy furnace and were waved into the tray by Wei Yuan. Eighteen days, a full eighteen Great Sun Morning Glory Pills, all of them one-pattern!

While the group of Creation Sect disciples were dumbfounded, Wei Yuan flicked his finger and popped out two more points of chaotic energy. Thus, the spiritual nature of two of the pills suddenly became heavy and obscure, and each floated up a Dao pattern.

At this very moment, the vast Human World Fireworks was silent. Wei Yuan had long known that at critical moments, none of the crouching dragons and phoenix chicks could be relied upon, so his thoughts flashed, but he had no solution.

Consort Yuan said calmly, "Sister is still a bit anxious..."

But before she finished speaking, Feng Feng Tingyu finally finished the meal in front of her, looked up and said, "Sister, are you from the palace?"

Consort Yuan thought to herself, did you not hear a word of what I just said? But Wei Yuan had just introduced her, so Consort Yuan knew that Feng Feng Tingyu was a body cultivator. The more brilliant the body cultivator, the less you can count on them to bring their brains.

Consort Yuan immediately said, "Yes." Her demeanor was perfect, the arc of her lips upward was without deviation, and she couldn't see any impatience at all.

"You were assassinated in the palace, couldn't resist, so you ran over here?"

Consort Yuan nodded, thinking that this girl's stupidity also had the benefits of stupidity; many words didn't need to be said by herself, she had already said them first.

Feng Feng Tingyu asked again, "Then will they chase you here?"

"This is not a copper wall and iron wall, I'm afraid it's impossible to stop them outside the domain." Consort Yuan said tactfully.

Feng Feng Tingyu immediately patted the table, "That's good, I'll sleep with you! With me here, as long as it's not Yu Jing who comes, no assassin can move you. Even if Yu Jing comes, I can take you away. And I fight better when I'm asleep, not afraid of sneak attacks."

Consort Yuan's smile stiffened for the first time.

Feng Feng Chutang almost patted the table and cheered, and then the night banquet dispersed.

When walking out of the courtyard, Feng Feng Chutang couldn't help but say to Feng Feng Tingyu, "Drawing the firewood from under the cauldron, amazing!"

Feng Feng Tingyu looked blank.
