"Please clarify your doubts, Mr. Sun."
Chen Changming clasped his hands in a fist salute and bowed slightly, acknowledging himself as a junior.
" Demonic Qi has been invading the Chu Kingdom for decades, causing immense suffering to our Immortal Realm Chu Kingdom. Countless people have died, and the morale of the people is extremely unstable. Later, the Demon-Slaying Alliance was established, and a Golden Core Immortal came from the Great Qin, which barely managed to stabilize the situation."
" The Demon-Slaying Alliance is now divided into four major divisions, and all cultivators are under restrictions. For example, all cultivators in our Black Tortoise Division, whether they are at the Qi Refining or Foundation Establishment, cannot easily leave Mo'ya City. They can only go out to carry out missions after receiving orders from above."
"We are like caged birds. The sad thing is that caged birds are not in danger of losing their lives, but we cultivators fight against Demonized Beast every day. Our lives are hanging by a thread, and we may perish at any time."
"Therefore, most Foundation Establishment cultivators in our Mo'ya City find pleasure in hardship, living more like ordinary mortals, indulging in sensual pleasures and enjoying fleeting happiness in life..."
Sun Bozhong spoke slowly.
"Haha, Old Sun is right."
Tang Mengshao turned around and laughed loudly, "Enjoy life while you can, for tomorrow you may die. We Foundation Establishment cultivators live a life of constant danger, taking it one day at a time. Even if we hide away and cultivate every day, we still have no power to fight back against powerful Demon Beast."
"Yes, once you've reached around the tenth level of Foundation Establishment, there's no point in talking about life."
Old Sun gave a bitter smile, "But the path of cultivation is as difficult as ascending to heaven. I've been stuck at the second level of the Foundation Establishment Realm for a long time. Ultimately, my aptitude is limited, and I can't Foundation Establishment through to the third level..."
Upon hearing this, Chen Changming nodded silently.
Once he entered the Foundation Establishment Realm, his cultivation speed was extremely slow due to the influence of his Five Elements Mixed Spirit Root.
Therefore, he deeply resonated with Mr. Sun's feelings.
"Mr. Sun, you flatter me. Perhaps by some stroke of fortuitous opportunity, you will be able to break through."
Chen Changming clasped his hands in a fist and smiled, his face showing gratitude.
This Mr. Sun took the initiative to answer his questions and seemed easier to get along with than the others.
"Arrive."
Liao Yunfang pushed open the door to a private room. The room was quite spacious, and two long tables were already set with various dishes and wines.
After everyone entered, they chose their seats in a tacit manner.
Chen Hu nudged Chen Changming and said with a smile, " Chen Bai, you're the newcomer, sit next to Incense Master Liao."
Chen Changming: "..."
" Chen Hu, do you think you can just push me into this fire pit to get rid of this?" he thought to himself, but he didn't move. At this moment, Liao Yunfang suddenly grabbed Chen Changming's arm and said with a smile, " Chen Bai, come, according to the rules of our Ninth Incense, the newlyweds sit next to the Incense Master to drink."
Seeing that he couldn't refuse, Chen Changming had no choice but to follow Liao Yunfang to the long table and sit down, while Chen Hu sat on the other side of Liao Yunfang.
Sun Bozhong sat on Chen Changming's other side.
Sitting at the long table opposite were Zhao Tailai, Qiu Qianlang, Ying Buli, and Tang Mengshao.
"Smack!"
Chen Hu snapped his fingers, and the inner door slowly opened, allowing several young women to walk in. All of them were dressed in revealing outfits, with thin veils that made their voluptuous bodies appear and disappear.
Inside the inner gate, there was a woman playing the zither.
With a flick of her slender, delicate hand, a beautiful and melodious tune began to play.
Suddenly, the atmosphere in the entire private room changed.
As the music began, the young women started to dance gracefully, their movements captivating and full of alluring charm.
Sometimes they dance with light, graceful steps, as if walking on clouds, elegant and captivating; other times they strike alluring poses, deliberately making seductive moves to attract attention.
One of the women did not dance; instead, she held a wine jug and poured wine specifically for the Foundation Establishment seniors.
" Chen Bai's joining us today is truly a joyous occasion for our Ninth Incense. Let's have a drink, everyone!"
Liao Yunfang stood up, holding a wine glass, her charming face revealing a very bold expression.
After saying that, she was the first to drink it all in one gulp.
The group stood upright at the front of the long table, cups in hand, and said in unison to Chen Changming, " Chen Bai, let us drink first as a sign of respect!"
After saying that.
Everyone finished their drinks.
"Thank you all." Faced with everyone's toasts, Chen Changming had no choice but to drink it all in one gulp.
Next.
The eight Foundation Establishment cultivators enjoyed the dance while drinking and chatting, sometimes talking about slaying Demon Beast, sometimes about interesting things in Mo'ya City, and the atmosphere was very lively.
After Liao Yunfang and Chen Changming clinked glasses, the members of the Ninth Incense Clan came up one after another to toast them. Unable to refuse, Chen Changming had no choice but to drink them all.
Throughout the entire Ninth Incense Offering, he drank the most, yet Chen Changming showed no signs of drunkenness whatsoever.
After all, he was Body Cultivator with a powerful physique, so he wouldn't get drunk no matter how much he drank.
" Chen Bai, you've got a pretty good alcohol tolerance..."
Chen Hu got up and sat down next to Chen Changming, then called over the Qi-cultivating woman to bring two wine jars.
"I also enjoy drinking, and today we've met our match, Chen Bai! Let's drink until we're both drunk!"
After saying this, Chen Hu brushed off the seal on the wine jar, lifted it up, and poured it into his mouth.
"Good, Chen Hu has a good capacity for alcohol!"
The crowd cheered in unison.
Liao Yunfang's eyes flickered, her gaze lingering on Chen Changming, occasionally revealing a hint of anticipation.
The so-called welcome banquet was nothing but a pretense.
Her real intention was to have the people from Ninth Incense get Chen Bai drunk.
Then, I'll sleep with her and make love.
Because she was the Incense Master, with the highest cultivation level and status, every new member of the Ninth Incense was forced to submit to her through various means and become her alchemical furnace.
In the Ninth Incense Burner, apart from the aging and faded Sun Bozhong, she spared everyone else; the rest were her incense burners. However, Liao Yunfang also had her preferences, so in recent years she had favored Chen Hu more often.
After this happened several times, Chen Hu couldn't take it anymore and complained every time. Fortunately, Chen Bai joined in just in time, giving Chen Hu a glimmer of hope for relief.
So this time, Chen Hu cooperated with her fully, taking the initiative to drink with Chen Bai, hoping to get her drunk as quickly as possible and then get her to do something good tonight.
"This Chen Hu is terrified of Liao Yunfang."
Chen Changming sneered inwardly.
He brushed off the seal, lifted the wine jar, and gulped it down.
"Haha, I didn't expect Chen Bai to be such a good drinker."
Sun Bozhong chuckled from the side, a hint of pity flashing deep in his eyes.
This naive rogue cultivator, new to the Black Tortoise Division, still couldn't comprehend the darkness and filth of the Ninth Incense. Tonight, everyone was helping Liao Yunfang deal with Chen Bai, so it was impossible for him not to get drunk.
Chen Changming intentionally controlled his drinking speed, so he waited a few breaths after Chen Hu finished before finishing his.
After downing a jar of wine, Chen Hu became drunk, his face flushed red, and he suddenly collapsed to the ground, falling into a deep sleep.
"Waste!"
Seeing that Chen Hu was the first to be defeated, while Chen Bai was still not drunk, Liao Yunfang was displeased and gave a wink to the people opposite her.
