The Ya Household's Smooth Celebration and the Stirred Lineage Members
Kong Wenxuan spent three days discussing Dao with Ya Zhaoying in the Ya Lineage's territory. Ya Zhaoying not only shared all of Kong Wenxuan's experience and process of forming his Golden Core, but also made all the information and data about the Golden Core Stage that the Ya Household had collected available to him.
It can be said that Kong Wenxuan gained a lot in these three days. He has a clear understanding of how to break through to the Fourth Tier Golden Core Stage and has a clear plan for his next cultivation path.
Three days later, the debate concluded. Kong Wenxuan, his face earnest, bowed to his opponent and said in a deep voice, "Fellow Daoist Ya, please rest assured. Today you have given me a Golden Core debate; in the future, I will surely repay you with a Nascent Soul debate!"
Looking at Kong Wenxuan's earnest face, Ya Zhaoying smiled and nodded, saying, "I believe you."
After bidding Ya Zhaoying, Kong Wenxuan returned to his clan's residence in Fire Crow County, where he continued to seclude himself to study and research the Core Formation experience taught by Ya Zhaoying.
Two days later, the Ya Household's "Promotion Celebration Banquet" was held as scheduled.
The Bi Household, Kong Household, Jiao Household, Fu Household, He Household, and other True Spirit Lineage from Bifang Commandery participated in the celebration banquet. The entire banquet process was not much different from the "Promotion Celebration Banquet" held by the Kong Household back then.
First, each family presented congratulatory gifts to celebrate the "Fire Crow" Ya Household's successful advancement to the Seventh-Grade True Spirit level. Then, the Ya Household hosted a banquet to entertain the guests, which included Fourth Tier spiritual dishes, spiritual wines, and spiritual fruits.
It is evident that although the "Fire Crow" Ya Household has only been promoted to Seventh-Grade True Spirit Lineage for a little over a year, the foundation accumulated over hundreds of years is indeed profound, with no shortage of Fourth Tier spiritual food, spiritual wine, spiritual fruit, and so on.
However, the focus of the celebration banquet was undoubtedly the "preaching and discourse" that followed.
The one who took the stage to preach from the Ya Household was none other than the Golden Core True Person Ya Zhaoying. The Ya Household now has two Golden Core True Person, but as the clan leader and the magistrate of Fire Crow County, True Person Ya Xinghe obviously did not intend to make a public appearance and preach from the stage. He only appeared at the celebration banquet to chat and have casual conversation with the Golden Core True Person from the Bi Household came to offer their congratulations.
When Ya Zhaoying took the stage to preach, the content of his talk was indeed unrelated to the formation of the elixir, but rather consisted of his experiences and insights into the cultivation of the fire element.
If Kong Wenxuan hadn't made a "deal" with the other party beforehand, it would have been impossible for him to gain Core Formation experience from this "Advanced Rank Celebration Banquet".
After the Ya Zhaoying sermon, the various schools of thought began their "discussions on the Dharma."
However, because the Ya Household is now Seventh-Grade True Spirit, the only Seventh-Grade True Spirit Lineage in Bifang Commandery, in terms of status and strength, they far surpass Eighth-Grade True Spirit Lineage like the Kong Household and the Jiao Household, not to mention Ninth-Grade True Spirit Lineage like the Fu Household and the He Household.
Therefore, this "discussion on the law" was different from the "discussion on the law" at the Kong Household's "promotion banquet" at that time, and was basically just a formality.
The Kong Household and Jiao Household could not challenge the Ya Household's position. The Seventh-Grade True Spirit position already destined the Ya Household to gain more power and benefits in Bifang Commandery, as well as a larger share of trade in Bifang Commandery City.
Previously, the Kong Household had won the debate at their own "Jinpin Celebration Banquet," and thus received more rights, benefits, trade shares, and shops in the county town from other families, making them the first among the True Spirit Lineage in the county.
Now, it is the Kong Household's turn to relinquish these rights, interests, trade shares, and shops in the county town, and hand them over to the Ya Household.
Although Kong Wenxuan and Ya Zhaoying had a deal, it clearly wouldn't affect the division and transactions of these rights, interests, and trade shares.
After all, this is the right and interest of the entire Ya Household, and Ya Zhaoying has no right, much less the ability, to give it up.
Therefore, the entire "promotion celebration banquet" of the Ya Household was peaceful and harmonious. No one on any side had a falling out. Instead, everyone gathered together to exchange ideas and express their concerns about the current situation.
The Demon Race colluded with martial artists from the "True Martial World" to invade the "True Spirit Realm." From time to time, news of Demon Race race and martial artists invading could be heard from various places. Some were defeated, and their defeated soldiers fled in all directions; others had their "Origin Fragment" plundered, and the True Spirit Lineage suffered heavy losses or even perished.
As for the situation of the "Outer Heaven Battlefield," only the Bi family, the "Sixth-Rank Bifang True Spirit," Bi Household the details. However, at this "Advancement Celebration Banquet," no matter how much the cultivators from other families inquired, the Bi Household cultivators did not intend to explain in detail, only saying that everything was under control.
Seeing this, the cultivators could only suppress their worries and anxieties, exchange information they had gathered, and agree to help each other.
In particular, the "Fire Crow" Ya Household is now Seventh-Grade True Spirit Lineage, with two Golden Core True Person in the family. In terms of Lineage strength, it is only weaker than the "Bifang" Bi Household, and is indeed far superior to other eighth-grade and Ninth-Grade True Spirit Lineage such as the Kong Household, Jiao Household Fu Household, and He Household. Naturally, it is also more sought after by other families, who only hope that if their families encounter invasion by Demon Race or martial cultivators, the Ya Household can come to their aid as soon as possible.
Finally, the "Promotion Celebration Banquet" concluded amidst laughter and constant compliments. Everyone got what they wanted at the banquet.
Kong Wenxuan had also obtained what he wanted from Ya Zhaoying, so it could be said that his trip had been worthwhile, and he was all smiles at the celebration banquet.
After the celebration banquet ended, the families did not linger in "Fire Crow County" and began to leave one after another, returning to their respective Lineage.
After all, the situation is turbulent now. Although Bifang Commandery is relatively stable and safe for the time being, no one can guarantee that nothing will happen next. Therefore, everyone still wants to return to their Lineage as soon as possible to protect their Lineage and their own territories.
Kong Wenxuan also did not stay in "Fire Crow County" for long. The day after the "Promotion Celebration Banquet" ended, he took his Lineage members and some "Fire Mulberry Spirit Tea" and "Fire Mulberry Spirit Fruit" gifts from Ya Zhaoying, and boarded the "Five-Colored Peacock Feather Boat" to fly away from "Fire Crow County".
As he left Fire Crow County, he saw that Fire Crow County City was now bustling with people. The many wild Bloodline Lineage cultivators that they had seen on the way here heading towards Fire Crow County City had now arrived in the county one after another.
The Ya Household was clearly aware of the many wild Bloodline Lineage cultivators who had come to join them, and had already made arrangements to receive them in the county town. The entire Fire Crow County was bustling and running smoothly, without the slightest sign of chaos.
"This scene is even more lively than when our Kong Household was promoted to the Eighth-Grade True Spirit, and nearly a hundred Bloodline Lineage came to join us."
"It seems that the number and power of the ' Fire Crow ' Ya Household's servant Lineage will see a significant increase this time."
Looking at the bustling scene in "Fire Crow County," the eldest brother, Kong Wenzhang, couldn't help but sigh, "Indeed, advancing the Lineage's rank is the best way to enhance strength and influence."
"As long as our Lineage continues to advance and grow stronger, more servant Lineage will come to join us, and our power will greatly increase!"
"I wonder when our Kong Household will be able to advance to the seventh rank and have such a lively scene?"
Upon hearing this, Kong Wenxuan looked at the other party and smiled, saying, "Brother, the Lineage's advancement to the seventh rank won't be too far off. But when will you advance to the Purple Mansion Stage?"
"We don't want the Lineage to become Seventh-Grade True Spirit Lineage by then, while you're still just a Foundation Establishment cultivator. Otherwise, you'll fall behind the Lineage's pace of progress."
Upon hearing this, the eldest brother, Kong Wenzhang, immediately looked at him and said with a smile, "Fifth brother, I knew you were confident you could lead the Lineage to the Seventh-Grade True Spirit Realm. Don't worry, I will definitely not hold you back. I will go back to seclusion and cultivate, and I guarantee I will reach the Purple Mansion Stage within five years."
At this moment, Kong Yuyin, also said, "After we go back, I will also begin my seclusion and will not leave until I reach the Purple Mansion Stage!"
Kong Wenxuan smiled upon seeing this. He knew that this trip to "Fire Crow County" had shown them the strength, foundation, and prosperity of the Ya Household. Furthermore, during the celebratory banquet, they had to share the rights and interests that their Lineage had gained more than a decade ago with the Ya Household. All of this had greatly stimulated them, and it was always good that it could give their third aunt, eldest brother, and others more determination and motivation to break through to the Purple Mansion Stage Realm.
He smiled and said, "Alright, then let's hurry back to our seclusion as soon as possible."
As they spoke, the Kong Household and their entourage piloted the "Five-Colored Peacock Feather Boat" away from Fire Crow County City and flew towards Cuckoo Town.
On their return journey, they also planned to transit through Cuckoo Town.
