Guests Arrive to Offer Congratulations; Expounding the Dao and Discussing the Arts Displays Their Might
Just as Ya Zhaoying had predicted, in the following ten days, the "True Spirit Lineage" of other counties in Bifang Commandery, and even the Bi Household "Bifang True Spirit" in the county seat, all sent people to "Peacock County Seat" to congratulate the Kong Household on their successful promotion to the Eighth-Grade True Spirit Lineage.
During this process, Kong Wenxuan also witnessed the methods of the various "True Spirit Lineage" in Bifang Commandery.
The Bi Household sent a female cultivator at the Purple Mansion Stage as the leader, along with a dozen or so Foundation Establishment and Qi Refinement disciples, who arrived aboard a "Bifang Cloud Boat".
The leading female cultivator Bifang Silk, and she was about the same age as Kong Wenxuan. This shows that in an old Middle-Grade True Spirit Lineage like the Bi Household, there are quite a few talents who have advanced to the Third Tier -order Purple Mansion Stage in their thirties or forties.
The Jiao Household, Eighth-Grade True Spirit "Wildebeest," also sent a female cultivator at the Purple Mansion Stage as their leader, along with a dozen or so Foundation Establishment and Qi Refinement disciples. However, they did not arrive by "cloud boat," but rather by a kind of "land vehicle." They traveled across the land, traversing mountains and rivers as if walking on flat ground. Their speed was somewhat slower than that of "cloud boats" and "Feather Boat" of the same grade, but traveling on land was much safer and more discreet.
The "land Wildebeest" of the Jiao Household, known as the "Horned Horse," is a specialty of the Jiao Household. It is made by incorporating the bloodline power of the Wildebeest Jiao Household during the forging process, which is why it has the ability to traverse mountains and rivers as if walking on flat ground. It is very popular in Bifang Commandery and even some neighboring counties, and is a must-buy equipment for many Lineage and forces to form caravans.
In addition, the ninth-grade true spirit "Viper" came to congratulate the Fu family on a kind of "Escape Shuttle", which traveled underground. The speed was not slow, and it was also safe and concealed. However, the internal space of this "Escape Shuttle" was limited, so there were only five people coming to congratulate the Fu family.
Similarly, this "Earth-Escape Shuttle" (Earth-遁梭) is also a specialty of the Fu Household. During the refining process, the bloodline power of the "Pit Viper" Fu Household was incorporated, which is why it has the ability to burrow underground. It also sells quite well in Bifang Commandery and some neighboring counties.
After all, for many low-grade True Spirit Lineage, as well as non- True Spirit Lineage, flying is not easy, and burrowing underground is often even more difficult, but in some situations, burrowing underground is often the best option.
When surrounded or trapped and needing to escape, burrowing underground is often more concealed and safer than flying.
Furthermore, when it's necessary to explore underground resources, mineral veins, or spiritual objects, having a treasure that allows one to burrow underground makes the exploration much more convenient.
Therefore, the "Earth-Escape Shuttle) of the Fu Household" Pit Viper," is quite popular in Bifang Commandery and surrounding counties. Many Lineage, forces, and even cultivators often purchase one or two to keep in reserve for unforeseen circumstances.
Finally, the congratulatory team from the He Household, Ninth-Grade True Spirit known as "Black Crane," arrived. However, the He Household did not travel in their own "Black Crane Feather Boat," but instead flew in on a Third Tier "Bifang Cloud Boat."
The He Household, known as the "Bifang Cloud Boat Black Crane," is merely Ninth-Grade True Spirit Lineage. They do not have Third Tier Purple Mansion Stage cultivators. In order to pilot this Third Tier "Bifang Cloud Boat," the He Household burned a large amount of Spirit Stone to power it, which is why they were able to fly this "Bifang Feather Boat" to the front of "Peacock County Seat."
Without a doubt, the "Bifang Cloud Boat" was obtained by the He Household from the Bi Household. It was not only purchased by the He Household, but also bestowed upon them by the Bi Household. Regardless of the method, the fact that the He Household Bi Household able to obtain a "cloud Bifang Cloud Boat" like the "Bifang Cloud Boat," which was made from the feathers and bones of the "Bifang Spirit Bird," from the Bi family demonstrates the close relationship between the He Household and the Bi Household.
The He Household's congratulatory party did not travel in their own "Black Crane Feather Boat," but instead spent a large amount of Spirit Stone to drive this Third Tier "Bifang Cloud Boat," clearly indicating their intention to borrow the tiger's power.
Chencang's new work is here, updated first across the entire network!
After all, when the Kong Household held a banquet in Bifang Commandery City to entertain various parties, they had an unpleasant encounter with the He Household "Black Crane".
In the years that followed, Second Elder Kong Changlan, Fourth Sister Kong Wenjun, and others were stationed in the county town, handling various Lineage affairs and businesses, as well as maintaining the Lineage's relationship with the Bi Household and other True Spirit Lineage. They were often targeted and made difficult by the He Household.
Although no major feuds have been formed, there have been quite a few minor frictions.
Now that the Kong Household has successfully advanced to the Eighth-Grade True Spirit Lineage, completely surpassing the He Household, it will naturally make the He Household wary. Even the congratulatory team this time chose to come in the Third Tier "Bifang Cloud Boat" of the Bi Household, which can be regarded as a dog relying on its master's power.
The intention was to warn the Kong Household that even though the Kong Household was stronger than the He Household, the He Household still had the Bi Household behind them, and they would not tolerate being bullied by the Kong Household.
The Kong Household didn't pay much attention to the He Household's thoughts and schemes. After everyone had arrived, the Kong Household held a celebration banquet at the "Peacock Garden" in Peacock County Seat to thank everyone for their congratulations.
There's not much to say about the entire celebration banquet. With Ya Zhaoying's prior guidance and experience, the Kong Household was very familiar with the banquet's procedures.
First, the leaders of each family would congratulate the Kong Household on their successful promotion at the celebration banquet and present them with gifts. The Kong Household would also reciprocate with gifts to express their gratitude.
Then we ate and drank, and chatted about gossip and stories from Bifang Commandery and the surrounding counties.
Finally, the Kong Household, as the host, would hold a sermon to demonstrate their power. This was the most important part of the celebratory banquet and the main purpose of the various cultivators who came to offer their congratulations.
To assess the strength and methods of the Kong Household, this newly promoted Eighth-Grade True Spirit Lineage.
The sermon was naturally given by Kong Wenxuan, the strongest member of the Kong Household and the only Purple Mansion cultivator. He spoke from a commanding position, using his power to intimidate others and showcasing the strength, methods, and prestige of the Kong Household as much as possible.
Ya Zhaoying had already told Kong Wenxuan that the discussion and discourse at this celebratory banquet was not a time for humility and modesty, but a time to demonstrate strength and power. The Kong Household should display as much strength and power as they could, so that all parties would be convinced.
After all, even if a cultivator from a "True Spirit Lineage" bloodline has more humanity than demonic nature, they are still inevitably influenced by some demonic nature.
Humility and courtesy are not morality; the law of the jungle is the only right path!
If the Kong Household were to be humble and courteous during the discussions and debates at this celebratory banquet, and fall into a disadvantageous position, then even if the Kong Household successfully advanced to the Eighth-Grade True Spirit position, they would not have a good time in Bifang Commandery.
Therefore, Kong Wenxuan had no intention of holding back at this moment. He sat cross-legged on the high platform in the backyard of the "Peacock Garden" where the celebratory banquet was being held. He made a sword incantation with his hands, and five "Five Elements Divine Swords" flew out of his body like Peacock Spreads Its Tail, swirling in the air above the banquet.
Buzz!
With a resounding hum, the five "Five Elements Divine Swords" first arranged themselves into a "Lesser Five Elements Sword Formation" in the air, operating the wonders of the mutual generation of the five elements, and then reversed to transform into a "Great Five Elements Sword Formation," generating "Great Five Elements Destruction Sword Light" that roamed within the sword formation, crisscrossing above the heads of the various cultivators attending the celebratory banquet.
The awe-inspiring and terrifying aura and power of the "Great Five Elements Destruction Sword Light" made many people attending the banquet feel their scalps tingle and their hair stand on end. They all activated various defensive Spirit Artifact, Law Artifact, and Divine Ability abilities in response, as if they were deeply afraid that the terrifying sword light in the sky would strike down.
Even some of the Qi Refinement cultivators who came with him to offer their congratulations trembled and were unable to stand under this terrifying power and sword intent, and were on the verge of falling.
