As time went on, the banquet atmosphere began to reach its climax, and Xiao Tian, who had intended to stay on the sidelines and quietly observe (eating, drinking, and chatting with people), was forced to join in the activities.
The inviter was none other than Duanmu Yunyan, the daughter of the Overlord.
"Hahaha... Xiao Tian, where are you going? Come here quickly, let me introduce you to some talented and extraordinary people from Dragon City, pillars of our Human Clan."
As soon as the Overlord saw Xiao Tian, he called Xiao Tian over. Xiao Tian forced a smile and took a cup of wine from the wine cart.
It finally ended half an hour later.
The Overlord introduced him to the upper class of Dragon City, as well as a small number of aloof and arrogant individuals.
Xiao Tian didn't take it seriously. He had only paid attention to a few of these people; they were supporting characters in the Primordial Hongmeng Plan, but had a relatively bright presence in the Blue Star section.
"We have successfully signed contracts with the Beast King within our territory, agreeing to restrain each other's forces and refrain from attacking one another. This is a day to celebrate."
"Dry!"
" Overlord Majesty, on this auspicious day, I believe City Lord Xiao Tian deserves a few more toasts."
The Overlord glanced at the one who had spoken, then surveyed the others present, and smiled, "That's right. City Lord Xiao of Luo Cheng single-handedly defeated the ever-warlike Beast King, the Golden-Winged Great Peng King. This makes the contract between us and the Beast King even more solid and resilient. Let me begin by paying tribute to our great hero, Xiao Tian!"
Xiao Tian was speechless. Good heavens, he still had to drink a hundred more cups.
Do you really think he's a water dragon?
"Dry."
Xiao Tian wasn't worried at all. With his current physique, even if he drank another four tons of alcohol, it wouldn't be a problem; he could digest and break it down quickly.
As the Overlord finished toasting, Xue Qian Sha from the Biyou Palace smiled effeminately and came to offer a toast, while Chen Fan from the Eight Sceneries Palace and Helian Huo from the Jade Void Palace also rushed over.
"The three palace masters. Good."
The smiles on Xue Qian Sha and the other two's faces widened considerably. "Damn it."
Although the three are deputy palace masters of the Three Great Sage Lands, they have always wanted to become palace masters. Becoming the palace master is not easy. First, one must be in the Carefree Realm, and in addition, one must pass the holy land's exclusive test.
Xiao Tian's address of "Palace Master" truly touched their hearts, making them feel as sweet as if they had eaten honey.
After that came the heads of the prominent families of Dragon City, highly skilled individuals, and then the noble ladies of the families.
Soon, Jiang Zhexian came to offer a toast.
Jiang Zhexian's smile was somewhat unnatural, after all, she had previously made a big move and dealt a severe blow to Xiao Tian.
The atmosphere was a little awkward, but Xiao Tian wasn't awkward at all. After all, as long as he wasn't awkward, it was others who were.
"Goddess Jiang, goodnight."
" City Lord Xiao, cheers." Jiang Zhexian raised his cup to toast, then drank it all in one gulp. A few drops of wine even mischievously slid from the corner of his mouth to his chin, then down his jade-white neck, and into his formal attire.
Xiao Tian paid no attention to this allure, but it did amaze some of the men around him who were watching.
When Jiang Zhexian felt a bit chilly under her dress, she felt uncomfortable and embarrassed and wanted to find a place to leave. However, when she saw Xiao Tian finish drinking and leave without even glancing at her, Jiang Zhexian couldn't help but feel a little angry.
Am I really that unattractive?
A moment later, Xiao Tian finished the second round of toasting.
"Hehehe, had a good drink, didn't you, Brother Tian?" Zhou Quan arrived with a wicked grin.
"Get out of the way, what are you babbling about? Why don't you come and drink? Two or three hundred cups, that'll be it." Xiao Tian was speechless.
"No way, but the Fengzi has made some moves."
Xiao Tian was surprised. What kind of tricks was Chu Feng planning to pull this time?
The two distanced themselves from trouble and moved closer to the periphery.
"What's going on, you Fengzi? What are you up to now?"
Chu Feng had his hands in his pockets, and his expression practically screamed "I'm so arrogant!" which made Xiao Tian's teeth ache.
This guy has changed a lot since he was resurrected; he's become even more arrogant and deserves a beating.
"I just accidentally discovered a secret about Nangong Yin, and it's a very interesting and far-reaching one."
"Oh?" Xiao Tian became interested.
Tell me.
The three of them discreetly and cautiously surveyed their surroundings before continuing to exchange information.
It turns out that after Chu Feng Nangong Yin, who had used a curse to harm Jiang Zhexian, he became interested in the curse and used some tricks to get his hands on it, also obtaining a secret along the way.
Nangong Yin was a member of the Jade Void Palace. Following the instructions of a mysterious elder, she used a curse to harm many people. Among them, a disciple of a certain elder suddenly changed his personality and began to harass a female disciple of the same sect in a dangerous manner, causing the female disciple to become pregnant. The male prodigy was captured and executed.
During an internal family upheaval within the Bodhi Group, Jiang Zhexian's lineage nearly faced annihilation, but fortunately, the family patriarch intervened and resolved the crisis.
A senior executive of the Ancient God Biological Gene Technology Group suddenly died. Before his death, he had committed heinous acts that led to the execution of Third generations of his family.
Nangong Yin used his curse to trick countless people, the most interesting of which was that he even tricked the Golden-Winged Great Peng King, which made Xiao Tian a great hero of humanity.
Furthermore, Nangong Yin placed a curse on the Overlord.
"Tsk tsk, interesting. It can even affect the Golden-Winged Great Peng King's emotions. This curse is really good. Fengzi, take a look, let's all learn it together."
Chu Feng naturally had no objections, but this was not a good place to pass on his teachings.
"Okay, let's find another place then."
Duanmu Yunyan arrived at that moment with Jiang Zhexian.
" City Lord Xiao."
Xiao Tian glanced at the two beautiful women, each with their own unique charm, and smiled, "Is there anything I can help you with?"
Duanmu Yunyan smiled and said, " City Lord Xiao, the matter is like this. The Banished Immortal made a mistake before, but now he has fully realized his error. I hope that City Lord Xiao will not quarrel with the Banished Immortal. As pillars of humanity, Yunyan hopes that you can reach a reconciliation. The Banished Immortal is willing to give City Lord Xiao satisfactory compensation."
"Tsk tsk." Xiao Tian's eyes gleamed.
"Goddess Jiang, I'm going to ask for a huge sum of money."
Jiang Zhexian's heart tightened involuntarily. She suddenly felt a pang of regret. What if Xiao Tian issued a compensation bill that she couldn't provide?
" City Lord Xiao Banished Immortal, please speak frankly. I will give you everything I can, and I will try my best to obtain anything I cannot give City Lord Xiao for the time being."
Xiao Tian couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"Hehehe, Goddess Jiang, you'd better watch out. My Brother Tian has a big appetite; he'll never miss an opportunity to take advantage of someone," Zhou Quan said.
Hearing Zhou Quan's words, Jiang Zhexian couldn't help but feel annoyed. If it weren't for this guy, she wouldn't have wasted money and almost ruined herself later.
If she could turn back time, she would want to find someone to beat this guy up.
No, that's fine too, after the banquet.
Xiao Tian stopped laughing, stared at Jiang Zhexian, and said, "To be honest, money is of little use to me these days, so you understand."
Jiang Zhexian nodded. Having reached a level where he could defeat a being like the Golden-Winged Great Peng King, he simply didn't care about ordinary money.
"I want the Nine Revolutions Golden Pill, the Purple Heart Jade Dew Pill, the Gold and Stone Soul-Returning Pill..." Xiao Tian rattled off a long list of compensation items that people in this world had never heard of but knew were incredibly powerful and outrageous.
After listening, Jiang Zhexian used his powerful memory to calculate that there were a total of one hundred and thirty kinds of pills and rare herbs.
Her face fell. Although she knew Xiao Tian would ask for an exorbitant amount, she didn't recognize any of the people he was talking about.
Duanmu Yunyan, the daughter of the Overlord, was also stunned.
Her beautiful eyes sparkled. Although she had never heard of the names of those pills and rare treasures before, they sounded incredibly high-class. She thought to herself that she should ask her father, the Overlord, when she got back, so that perhaps he would know.
At this moment, Jiang Zhexian's beautiful eyes trembled, and mist gradually began to fill the air, as if she were about to cry.
" City Lord Xiao, although I've never heard of these things before, I've made a note of them. I'll look for them when I get back to my clan. If I can't find some of them, could you give me some time?"
Seeing that this girl was actually going to agree to the compensation list he had casually mentioned, Xiao Tian suddenly felt like he wasn't human.
"Alright, I'll give you a year. If you can't find them all, you'll have to do one thing for me that doesn't violate morality or the law, and doesn't harm yourself." Xiao Tian Xiao. He was indeed not human; he was the Undying Deva Path.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Zhexian still felt a headache coming on. She felt that even if she had fifty years, she would have a hard time finding the things Xiao Tian mentioned, let alone a year.
"Okay, one year it is, I'll do my best!"
Xiao Tian couldn't help but laugh, "I hope so. Don't think that what I ask you to do a year from now will be easy. You'll know what trouble is when the time comes."
Upon hearing Jiang Zhexian couldn't help but shiver.
"Now that you two have reconciled, why don't you go celebrate with a drink?" The Overlord's daughter Duanmu Yunyan, smiled, a smile that truly brightened up this gloomy corner of the land.
Xiao Tian was speechless.
"I've had too much to drink before, just one more glass will do."
"Good."
Afterwards, Xiao Tianxin was tired. After drinking a toast with Jiang Zhexian to reconcile, many people came to congratulate him on his reconciliation with Jiang Zhexian and kept offering him toasts.
Xiao Tian inwardly wept. He really wanted to turn this banquet upside down. What were they drinking?! Is this how you persuade someone to drink?! Luckily, she had an extraordinary constitution, otherwise she might have drunk herself to death at the banquet.
After the event, Xiao Tian quickly led Zhou Quan and Chu Feng away from the banquet.
Upon returning to his residence, Chu Feng handed over the curse technique he had obtained from Nangong Yin to Xiao Tian and Zhou Quan.
After reading it, Xiao Tian thought the curse technique was quite effective.
"Ding! Curse cultivation technique detected: Emotion Control Curse! Have you comprehended it?"
"Understood!"
"Ding! Successfully grasped the concept!"
"Ding! The Emotion Control Curse has been upgraded! It can now inflict true damage! The curse's strength has been increased! And you can now choose to control emotions!"
Xiao Tian felt relieved; he was about to become the King of Curses.
"This is too hard to learn! I'm not learning it anymore!" Zhou Quan, who was looking at the Heavenly Book in the dark, gave up decisively, looking annoyed.
" Fengzi, Brother Tian, how are you guys?"
The fake academic genius and the academic genius looked at Zhou Quan with the same care and concern they had for the academic underachiever.
Zhou Quan's scalp tingled; he knew exactly what was going on!
