"Under the Dao Court?"
"Comrade Lu Li, what do you mean...?"
"This... no! This is too rushed."
"Wait, wait, let us get ready!"
Upon hearing what Lu Li said, Li Qingshan instantly guessed his meaning.
They knew that Lu Li must have brought a large number of Dao Court's subordinates with him this time.
In that case, these Dao Court cultivators will inevitably have to help the Great Xia in the future.
They even had to live, study, and fight alongside the Great Xia for a long time.
How can you be so casual about it?
We must prepare thoroughly.
Before Lu Li could respond, Li Qingshan quickly pressed the communication device.
Just as she was about to speak, she suddenly remembered something and looked at Lu Li.
"By the way, Comrade Lu Li, approximately how many personnel are there?"
Upon hearing Li Qingshan's question, Lu Li was slightly taken aback, and then responded.
"A little over 100,000."
"Ten... hundred thousand??!"
This number made Li Qingshan's lips twitch.
My fingers trembled slightly as I pressed the buttons on the communication device.
"Hello, Director Li, what can I do for you?"
"Pass down the notification: activate the Level A foreign affairs reception contingency plan!"
"No, upgrade to Special Grade!"
One hundred thousand cultivators.
He was a cultivator from another realm.
This scale is hardly a diplomatic reception; it's more like the first interstellar diplomacy.
It's more like a meeting of ethnic groups.
Even the location is difficult to find.
"Activate the highest-level emergency plan immediately!"
"The location is set at East Sea Immortal-Welcoming Port! Set up within three hours!"
"All departments are going all out to prepare!"
Li Qingshan issued several orders in one go.
The entire Blue Star immediately sprang into action.
Blue Star.
East Sea, Cultivation Administration East Sea Branch.
Xia Cheng was organizing the third quarter Spirit Stone quota table in front of her computer.
The tables were densely packed with dry data, and had absolutely nothing to do with the concept of cultivating immortality.
He is 26 years old this year, a junior staff member of the Cultivation Administration, and Spirit Stone quota management post.
To put it simply, they are clerical staff who manage the allocation of Cultivation Resources in various regions.
It sounds impressive, but it's really just an office job.
" Xia Cheng!"
"Top-tier foreign affairs reception! All staff vacations canceled!"
You are in charge of inventorying and preparing supplies in the east section of the venue!
Xia Cheng was taken aback. "What foreign affairs reception?"
" Senior Lu is back! He's back with his entourage!"
The section chief ran away after saying that.
The office was quiet for a moment.
Then a loud bang.
" Senior Lu?!"
Which Senior Lu?
"Nonsense, which other Senior Lu could it be!"
Xia Cheng was also stunned at her workstation.
Senior Lu.
He had heard those three words since he was a child.
The first lesson in the elementary school textbook is " The Immortal Lu Li ".
There's an entire unit in junior high school history called "The Beginning of the Era of Cultivation."
In exams, general knowledge of Immortal Dao immortality accounts for 80 points.
One day, the name Lu Li, which sounds like something out of a legend, will actually be heard.
He found it hard not to be stunned.
" Xia Cheng, what are you still sitting there for! Let's go, let's go!"
"Hurry up! I heard this shipment of supplies is huge."
Her colleague grabbed Xia Cheng, who was still in a daze, and ran outside.
On the way, the work group of the Cultivation Administration had already received hundreds of messages.
[The list of supplies for reception has been issued; all groups should proceed accordingly.]
[The seating arrangement in the venue is based on the Imprisoned Dragon Heaven... well, let's just go with the domestic standard for now.]
[Translation team on standby... Wait a minute, don't they speak Chinese too?]
[Asking the higher-ups.]
[It says to prepare this in advance, just in case someone speaks a dialect.]
[Then the translation team should remain on standby.]
The Great Xia Cultivation Administration Bureau has been established for several hundred years.
Their daily work ranged from initially preventing spirit beasts from disturbing the people to later managing Spirit Stone mining quotas.
From there to the current coordination of interstellar cultivation order.
The things I encounter are already complicated enough.
However, it has never received any monks from another world.
This is the first time.
East Sea Immortal-Welcoming Port.
This place was originally the third docking port of the Great Xia Star Fleet.
Later, because of its proximity to the main continent of Blue Star, it was converted into a civilian docking base.
Now, this base has been turned into a large-scale reception site.
When Xia Cheng arrived, the scene was already in complete chaos.
The logistics team is setting up a defensive array.
The security team is adjusting the defensive magic array.
The concierge team is setting up tables and chairs.
Xia Cheng was assigned to the East District to take stock of the supplies for the reception.
The items were described as supplies, but they were really just tea, spirit fruits, and some low-grade Spirit Stone made into souvenirs.
This is a long-standing tradition of the Cultivation Administration.
No matter who comes, brew some tea first.
The unique features of the Great Xia.
After taking inventory of the supplies, he was then asked to help hang up banners.
The banner reads...
[A warm welcome to Comrade Imprisoned Dragon Heavenly Dao Court for his visit and guidance to Great Xia ]
Is the phrase "exchange and guidance" inappropriate?
Xia Cheng was somewhat unsure.
"It was decided from above."
"OK."
Three hours.
It's neither long nor short.
The entire Immortal-Welcoming Port was transformed from an empty space into a proper reception venue that could accommodate 100,000 people.
The venue is fully equipped with a dais, viewing area, media area, and security area.
There was even a makeshift medical station staffed with three military doctors at the Spirit Transformation stage.
"Do you think it would be effective for Spirit Transformation stage doctor to treat True Immortal?"
"What if someone faints?"
"Who fainted? Can a cultivator faint?"
I'm talking about our own people.
"... That's true."
The venue gradually took shape.
More and more people are coming.
Not only staff members, but also representatives from various cultivation institutions of the Great Xia came.
All maintenance and repair departments have assigned observers.
Several media outlets have even already set up their live streaming equipment.
The atmosphere in the venue gradually shifted from bustling activity to a peculiar quiet.
Then a young man in a blue robe descended from the sky, surrounded by a group of familiar figures.
"Is that... Senior Lu Li?"
Xia Cheng looked at the figure that seemed to have stepped out of a legend.
His speech was somewhat incoherent.
So young.
He looked to be in his early twenties, and there was no difference between him and the photos in textbooks and videos.
The middle-aged man following behind him possessed strong Law Power fluctuations; he was Lu Dahai.
He often heard the term "the number one True Immortal in the country."
I often see it on TV.
Following them are Li Qingshan, Xu Mu, and Zhang Xuanqing.
Xia Cheng had seen these names in history books.
They are now standing less than two hundred meters away from him.
Xia Cheng's palms were covered in sweat.
He didn't know what he was nervous about.
He was just a junior clerk responsible for counting tea leaves.
But my heart is beating really fast.
All eyes in the room were focused on the stage.
The venue, packed with tens of thousands of people, was completely silent.
Until everyone is seated.
Li Qingshan slowly stood up.
After glancing at Lu Li, he slightly adjusted his Spiritual Power, raised his voice, and spoke clearly.
Good afternoon, comrades.
"I hereby declare the first exchange and guidance meeting Great Xia and Dao Court officially commence."
"Now... let's welcome Comrade Imprisoned Dragon Heavenly Dao Court to the stage!"
