"Even if there is an invitation, I can't get in now." The person who had secretly ridiculed Song Changsheng was still mumbling when he saw him taking out the invitation.
In fact, having an invitation is nothing. Reputable forces or monks can get it. You can even spend a lot of money to buy one, just disguise your identity.
But there are differences between the invitations. The heaviest one is naturally the one from Two Great Sects. Second City Lord Zhan Tianxia went to deliver it in person a few years in advance. They were also the first group to be invited to the mountain.
Next came Purple Mansion-level forces and the prestigious Purple Palace Cultivator. The invitations were also sent by Direct Disciple of Great City Lord more than a year in advance, so they could go up the mountain several months in advance.
Although it may seem strange to go to the mountain several months in advance, this actually means that they are qualified to listen to Great City Lord's sermons!
If one Purple Palace Cultivator said that he wanted to "preach" to another group of Purple Palace Cultivator, if anyone else had said this, they would have been laughed out of his mouth and thought he was a clown and overestimated his abilities.
But Mu Guibai is an exception. As Foremost Below the Golden Core Stage, he naturally has many aspects that ordinary people cannot reach. This is not only reflected in strength and talent, but also involves the perception of "Tao".
He once sat and talked with Golden Core True Person of Two Great Sects for several months, and the two parties called each other "fellow Daoists".
Discussing the Tao is a process of mutual confirmation and mutual promotion. Regardless of the strength, the perception of "Tao" naturally needs to be at a similar level. If the gap is too big, it is not a discussion of the Tao, it is a one-sided teaching of knowledge and solving doubts.
Therefore, just because Mu Guibai can discuss the truth with Golden Core True Person, he is qualified to preach to this group of Purple Palace Cultivator, which is something they usually cannot ask for.
The sermon meeting started when the Two Great Sects monks went up the mountain and lasted until Birthday Banquet. In the intervening months, of course, Great City Lord was not the only one singing the Dujiao show, and the rest of the Purple Palace Cultivators would also take the stage to preach.
This is a very rare opportunity, so many people will spend huge sums of money to buy an invitation to the mountain in advance or even a "entourage" position.
Because each invitation allows one or two people to go up the mountain with you, so you can naturally observe the event when the time comes.
In addition to this, it is the most ordinary invitation, distributed by the disciples of the City Lord's Mansion. You can only go up the mountain the day before or on the day of Birthday Banquet, and there is no treatment to listen to the sermon.
Those who can go up the mountain in advance have already gone up the mountain. After all, no one wants to waste time on such a precious opportunity, and those who cannot go up the mountain in advance will naturally wait for Birthday Banquet to start.
There is still one month left before Birthday Banquet. This time is neither long nor short, which means it is neither up nor down. But according to common sense, most of the people who have not gone up the mountain at this time are ordinary invitations, so that person would say that Song Changsheng cannot go up even if it has an invitation.
It's not that he is being harsh, it is indeed based on facts.
Song Qingluo was really annoyed with the person who made the noise. If Song Changsheng hadn't told him not to talk nonsense, he would definitely have gone down and caught those guys!
Song Changsheng looked very indifferent. Although he didn't know why the date on his invitation was one month earlier, it would be fine as long as he didn't get the time wrong.
As for those below, the facts will shut them up.
The two monks guarding the mountain were obviously a little suspicious. After all, the ones who could go up the mountain in advance were all Purple Palace Cultivator with noble status or powerful strength. Although Song Changsheng had a good skin, he didn't look like he met the requirements.
One of them took the invitation from Song Changsheng, opened it, and his pupils suddenly shrank, and the look he looked at Song Changsheng immediately became different.
Seeing this, another person also took a look, and his attitude changed 180 degrees. He bowed his hands to Song Changsheng respectfully and said, "It turns out that he is the distinguished guest of the Song Clan. I'm sorry. Please follow me up the mountain."
"Thank you." Although he knew that his invitation was fine, he was still a little surprised when he saw the respectful attitude of the other party.
Song Clan may have been worthy of the word "expensive" a hundred years ago. As for now, Great Qi Cultivation World not many people know the name [Wangyue] Song Clan.
Keeping his doubts in his heart, he planned to ask Zhuang Yuechan after seeing him...
"Hey, let's go up."
"I'm really going up. Whose brother is this? Young Master? He came so late."
"I thought I heard them say 'Song Clan'."
"'Song Clan', Ling Province that one?"
"We Great Qi Cultivation World don't have a second 'Song Clan', right?"
Everyone was having a heated discussion, but the two people who spoke before left at some point and disappeared.
This was just an episode for Song Changsheng. He followed a monk who led the way and climbed to the top of the mountain. Along the way, he saw countless scenery that could not be seen outside the mountain, including the uncanny workmanship of nature and the wisdom of skilled craftsmen.
Along the way, you can occasionally see scattered courtyards or waterside pavilions. These are the training places of Great City Lord disciples. The sound of silk, bamboo and wind music is endless, which is refreshing.
When walking halfway up the mountain, Song Changsheng suddenly asked the monk leading the way, "Do you know where Zhuang Yuechan Fellow Daoist Zhuang's residence is?"
The monk immediately became vigilant after hearing this, frowned slightly and said, "Although fellow Daoist is a guest, there are mostly female relatives in this Heavenly Sound Mountain. Please don't move around casually to avoid misunderstandings."
Song Changsheng couldn't help being speechless, and explained with a smile, "Fellow Daoist Zhuang and I are old acquaintances. We haven't seen each other for several years. I just wanted to catch up with her to catch up."
Unexpectedly, his explanation became darker and darker, which gradually made the monk feel contempt, because he had seen all kinds of excuses these days.
The ultimate goal is to get the opportunity to contact Zhuang Yuechan. During this period, Zhuang Yuechan was so annoyed that he pretended to be in seclusion and refused to see guests.
Heavenly Sound Mountain has always been united. Zhuang Yuechan's experience made her Senior Martial Brother brothers feel a little unhappy. However, they were all guests and they didn't do anything extraordinary. They couldn't do anything to each other, but they were all holding back a fire in their hearts.
Although the monk who led the way didn't say anything, he had already identified Song Changsheng with those people in his heart, so his tone became cold, and he came up with an official explanation. "Senior Sister Zhuang is in seclusion, and it is not convenient to see guests."
Song Changsheng is not Xiaobai. Seeing the other party's expression, he didn't know that the other party had misunderstood, but he couldn't explain it. After all, Niu Dazhuang took her away in a hurry, and both parties didn't even leave their contact information. He had to say, "It was Song who was abrupt."
Seeing that he did not continue to pester, the monk who was leading the way looked slightly brighter and said secretly, "You are wise, otherwise I will show you Senior Martial Brother Niu's methods."
Silently all the way, the three finally arrived at Heavenly Sound Mountain Peak, where they could already feel the warm atmosphere. There were lights and colors everywhere, busy and orderly at the same time.
The person who received them was Qian Duoyu, who they had met once before. The moment he saw Song Changsheng, a smile appeared on his fat face.
"Oh, isn't this Song Young Clan Head? Why are you the only one today and fellow Daoist Song not here?"
Song Changsheng hurriedly handed over his hand and replied, "To return to senior, Twelfth Uncle has important matters and has left first. Grandfather asked junior to come and congratulate Great City Lord on his birthday, and asked me to convey my apology to Great City Lord. He has been in retreat recently and has reached a critical juncture. He really cannot come in person. I hope Haihan will do it."
Qian Duoyu smiled immediately after hearing this, "Although it is a pity that Clan Head Song is not here, but it is the same with Song Young Clan Head and this little friend coming. Come on, come on, I will take you to Guest Room and show you around later."
Qian Duoyu was very enthusiastic, even taking care of Song Qingluo on the side. He personally led Song Changsheng, leading them through the simple and elegant buildings, and several people entered a Bamboo Forest.
"Song Young Clan Head, the residence arranged for you is in this Bamboo Forest. The aura here is rich, the environment is quiet, there are no other people to disturb you, but it is a bit remote.
This is Great City Lord's arrangement. If Young Clan Head doesn't like peace and quiet, I will take you to another place to see. Those Purple Mansion seniors are arranged there. By the way, Blazing Sun Sect is not there. "Qian Duoyu specially reminded.
Hearing that it was Great City Lord's arrangement, Song Changsheng was immediately flattered and said quickly, "There's no need to bother senior. Junior has always liked peace and quiet. This place is quiet and elegant, which is very suitable for junior."
A meaningful smile appeared on Qian Duoyu's fat face, "Well, here is Jade Tablet that opened Restriction. Please keep Young Clan Head. If you have any needs or are dissatisfied, you can contact me."
"Thank you, senior."
The two left Divine Sense marks on each other's Communication Jade Slip. Before leaving, Qian Duoyu said with a smile, "Young Clan Head looks a little tired. Let's take a good rest first, and then I will take Young Clan Head around. This is your first time to Heavenly Sound Mountain, right?"
Song Changsheng nodded and said, "Exactly, this is the first time for this junior to come to Sunset City."
"It's time to take a good turn." Qian Duoyu said something that left Song Changsheng confused, and then left Shi Shiran with his hands behind his back.
Song Changsheng didn't think much, and continued walking deeper into Bamboo Forest with Song Qingluo, who was like a curious baby. After a while, he saw a pond full of white lotus flowers. It was the time when the lotus flowers were blooming, and the pond was filled with fragrance.
"It's actually the second-order [Bingdi White Lotus]. It's really a big deal." Song Changsheng suddenly took a breath of cold air. [Bingdi White Lotus] is a precious second-order Spirit Plant. Its rarity is only lower than the [Black Jade Nether Lotus] he obtained before.
Its floral fragrance has the effect of calming the mind and getting rid of distracting thoughts, which can effectively prevent monks from Cultivation Deviation during their cultivation.
Lotus Pod and stems are good materials for refining weapons. Lotus Seed and lotus root can be used to make elixirs or make medicinal diets. They are full of treasures.
But this Spirit Plant has become a plant for people to watch here. Although there are only a few mother plants among them, it is still a big deal.
Moreover, as long as Song Changsheng wants to, he can completely remove some Lotus Seed or petals, and he believes that City Lord's Mansion will not have any objections.
But he still resisted this tempting idea. Now he is only representing himself, and every move represents Lineage. There is no need to do such things that damage the prestige of Lineage.
Taking Song Qingluo through the promenade by the pond, he finally saw the two-story Bamboo Building. He didn't know how long it had been built, but it was still green and exuded a faint vitality.
"Compared to this, my yard in Vast Peak is just like a cave dwelling." Song Changsheng said to Song Qingluo with a smile.
The moment he saw this Bamboo Building, he had already discovered its extraordinary features, not only in terms of construction materials, but there was also a small Spirit Gathering Formation here, and the richness of its spiritual energy rose to a higher level.
You know, Heavenly Sound Mountain is located on a Fourth-Tier Spirit Vein. The aura is rich in nature, and with Spirit Gathering Formation, Golden Core True Person is more than enough to practice. And he is just a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, and Song Qingluo is just a Qi Condensation.
I saw Song Qingluo's face was a little red, which was caused by not adapting to the concentration of spiritual energy. For Qi Condensation Cultivator, the spiritual energy here was no longer a help, but a burden.
Song Changsheng patted his shoulder and injected Spiritual Force into him, which made him feel better.
"It seems that we need to turn off this Spirit Gathering Formation first."
This was not difficult for him. After using Jade Tablet to open Restriction of Bamboo Building, Song Changsheng quickly stopped Spirit Gathering Formation and laid down another layer of Spiritual Force to block part of the spiritual energy. Song Qingluo's flushed face slowly returned to normal.
It's funny to say that monks have always despised the lack of spiritual energy concentration in their cultivation. They never thought that one day the spiritual energy concentration would become a burden.
It's just that they are not strong enough. This place is obviously prepared for Purple Palace Cultivator and even Golden Core True Person. Living here is indeed a super-standard treatment for them.
The set of tools included in Bamboo Building is also the best and very comprehensive.
Looking at Warm Jade Bed in the bedroom, Song Changsheng suddenly asked, "Do I look tired?"
Song Qingluo stared at his face intently for a while, and finally nodded and said, "It looks a little tired, but it's not very obvious."
Foundation Establishment Cultivator's energy is far beyond that of ordinary people. They can go without food for more than ten days and without sleep for several months, but this does not mean that they will not get tired.
After all, the loss of Mental Energy still needs to be meditated or even slept to make up for it.
Song Changsheng During this period of time, he was refining weapons and practicing Body Forging Art. Mental Energy suffered a lot of losses, and he was already showing signs of fatigue without realizing it.
"It's time to take a good rest." Song Changsheng murmured softly.
After telling Song Qingluo not to go out of the range of Bamboo Building, Song Changsheng lay down on the warm Jade Bed.
The fastest way to replenish Mental Energy is deep sleep, but Song Changsheng seldom does this on weekdays, because in deep sleep, his acuity and perception will be reduced to a minimum, which is very dangerous.
But today he really wanted to sleep.
After a while, he fell into sleep. He dreamed that when he was young, there were people on the left and right holding his hands, walking in a group of antique buildings.
On the left is a gentle woman with slight dimples on her face when she smiles. She is his mother Xia Yunxue.
On the right is a tall and handsome man, whose eyebrows are somewhat similar to Song Changsheng. It is his father Song Luyan who has been dead for many years...
