The Bi Household's Rank Promotion Celebration: The Kong Household Seated in a Corner
Bifang Commandery City, Peacock Manor.
Today is the day that the Bi Household "Bifang" is holding a celebration banquet for the advancement to the fifth rank. Kong Wenxuan, along with the clan leader Kong Changgeng, his uncle Kong Yushuo, and others, had already arrived in the county town a few days earlier and were staying at the Lineage's manor in the county town.
Although it had only been a few months since Kong Yushuo advanced to the Golden Core Stage and his cultivation had not yet fully stabilized, he still came to the Bi Household's "Advancement Celebration Banquet."
After all, not to mention that the banquet, spiritual food, and spiritual wine provided by the Bi Household as a newly promoted "Fifth-Grade True Spirit" Lineage must be of the fifth or sixth rank, which would be of great benefit to both Kong Wenxuan and his uncle who had just advanced.
The "Discussion on the Dao" during the celebration banquet, whether it is the Nascent Soul True Lord of the Bi Household giving a lecture or Sixth Tier Spirit Transformation Lord taking the stage to give a lecture, will definitely benefit Kong Wenxuan and other Fourth Tier Golden Core True Person. If they can glean some insights from it, they will surely reap great rewards.
Therefore, even though his uncle Kong Yushuo's Golden Core Stage was not yet stable, he could not miss such fortuitous opportunity.
"It's time, let's go."
At this moment, the clan chief looked up at the sky and turned to Kong Wenxuan and the others.
Everyone nodded in agreement, took their gifts, and left "Peacock Manor" heading towards the southern part of Bifang Commandery City.
In this Southern Vermilion Bird Domain, the south is undoubtedly the most prestigious, so the Bi Lineage's territory is located in the southern region of this "Bifang Commandery City".
When Kong Wenxuan led his men to the Ya Household Ya Household to attend their seventh-rank "Promotion Celebration Banquet," they were received by members of the Ya Household throughout the event, as a sign of the importance they placed on it.
However, nowadays, when attending the Bi Household's fifth-rank "promotion celebration banquet," no one from the Bi Household will come to receive them. They will need to go to the Bi family's house to deliver their congratulatory gifts before taking their seats and attending the banquet.
After all, for the Bi Household, who are "Fifth-Grade True Spirit"Middle-Grade True Spirit, the peers, Yan Household, and even superiors such as the Geng Household Lineage "Qinggeng", the Huo Household "Huodou", and the Lu Household of "Zhuyan", who are also "middle-grade Extended Net Moon Deer", are the ones they need to focus on and warmly receive.
Lineage like the Kong Household and the Ya Household, which are "Low-Grade True Spirit" under the Bi Household, naturally do not receive such treatment and can only offer their congratulations on their own.
Walking through the county town, one can see that the entire "Bifang Commandery City" is now immersed in joy. In every market town, banquets are set up, constantly serving various low-grade spiritual dishes, spirit wines, spirit fruits, and so on, to entertain everyone in the county town.
Whether they were ordinary people or cultivators living in the county town, or even many servant Lineage and ordinary Bloodline Lineage who came to offer their congratulations upon hearing the news.
These cultivators from servant Lineage and ordinary Bloodline Lineage were not even as good as "Low-Grade True Spirit" Lineage like the Kong Household and Ya Household. They couldn't even attend the main banquet of the Bi Household's "promotion celebration banquet." They could only send congratulatory gifts and then eat some informal meals in the county town, which could be considered as participating in the "promotion celebration banquet."
The Kong Household and the Ya Household, these "Low-Grade True Spirit" Lineage under the Bi Household, had to flatter the Bi Household in order to gain more care and support from the Bi Household.
Among these servant Lineage, and even those with Bloodline Lineage, there were naturally many who wanted to curry favor with the Bi Household.
In particular, not long ago, the Bi Household bought a horse bone, which helped the "Shrike" Lao Household, which came from the Puxiu Lineage, rise to Star Inlaying top and become a "Ninth-Grade True Spirit" Lineage.
With such a precedent, naturally more servant Lineage, and even wild Bloodline Lineage, will want to curry favor with the Bi Household, gain Bi Household support, successfully Star Inlaying, and become "True Spirit Lineage."
Moreover, now that the Bi Household family has successfully advanced to a "Fifth-Grade True Spirit" Lineage, it is stronger than before and will definitely need the support of more "Low-Grade True Spirit" Lineage.
These servant Lineage and wild Bloodline Lineage all have their own tricks of the trade, and some even participated in the great battle in the "Mystic Crane Secret Realm" and have some understanding of the current situation.
Knowing, or perhaps guessing, that the Bi Household might launch a counterattack against the "Heavenly Demon Grotto-Heaven," you have received a new chapter update. "Chapter 473: The Bi Household's 'Promotion Celebration Banquet' - The Kong Household Sitting on the Sidelines (Seeking Monthly Tickets)." More combat power will be needed to follow them then.
Therefore, it was somewhat expected that the Bi Household might support more Bloodline Lineage to Star Inlaying and advance to the position of "True Spirit Lineage".
Therefore, at this time, it was natural to try even harder to curry favor with the Bi Household. Such an opportunity for a "promotion celebration banquet" was something they certainly couldn't miss.
Of course, both the servant Lineage and ordinary Bloodline Lineage sought to curry favor with the Bi Household, and naturally, "Low-Grade True Spirit" Lineage such as the Kong Household, the Ya Household, and the Jiao Household were even more eager to do so.
Putting aside other things, the "floating banquets" set up everywhere in "Bifang Commandery City" were basically all funded and organized by "Low-Grade True Spirit" Lineage such as the Kong Household, Ya Household, Jiao Household, and Lao Household, without the Bi Household having to contribute any money or effort.
As Kong Wenxuan walked through the county town, he looked at the "flowing banquets" that were set up and taken down at will, and at the smiling faces of the ordinary people, cultivators, and Bloodline Lineage from all walks of life who were congratulating the Bi Household Bi Household rejoicing over the "flowing banquets." He couldn't help but marvel at them.
"I wonder when our Kong Household will ever have such glory?"
Meanwhile, on the other side, the congratulatory procession of the "Ya Household," led by Ya Household Lineage Chief Ya Xinghe, also arrived. The two families arrived at the Bi Lineage's territory almost simultaneously.
This is certainly not a coincidence. Families like the Bi Household, which are "Middle-Grade True Spirit" Lineage and large Lineage, naturally have their own rules and procedures for holding "promotion celebration banquets." Even the order and timing of the arrival of the various "True Spirit Lineage who come to offer their congratulations are all arranged.
Lineage like the "Shrike" Lao Household and the "Pit Viper" Fu Household, which are "Ninth-Grade True Spirit" families, are required to arrive first, while families like the Kong Household and the Ya Household, which are "Seventh-Grade True Spirit" Lineage, arrive much later.
Of course, these "Low-Grade True Spirit" Lineage, regardless of their order of arrival, all arrived earlier.
The main characters entering later were still those "Middle-Grade True Spirit" Lineage like the Bi Household. As for the final, important figures, they were definitely the Bi Household's superiors, the Lu Household members who controlled "Extended Net Moon Deer Prefecture" and possessed the "Extended Net Moon Deer True Spirit".
Just like when the Kong Household and the Ya Household held "Promotion Celebration Banquets", the last to arrive were always the people from the superior "Bifang" Bi Household.
At this moment, Kong Wenxuan and the others arrived at the Bi Household's "Promotion Celebration Banquet" almost simultaneously with the Ya Household. After exchanging smiles and greetings, Ya Xinghe led the Ya Household members to step back and let the Kong Household members go first.
This clearly indicates a preference for the Kong Household.
The Kong Household and the Ya Household had debated and clashed during their respective "Promotion Celebration Banquets," and had also witnessed each other's prowess in their wars against the Demon Race and martial arts practitioners.
Therefore, the Ya Household was well aware that the Kong Household's strength had already surpassed Ya Household.
Moreover, the Kong Household has made a three-level leap in just a few decades, rising to the level of "Seventh-Grade True Spirit" Lineage. They might even rise to the level of "Middle-Grade True Spirit" one day. Based on this alone, the Ya Household has no choice but to show more respect to the Kong Household.
So they stepped back and let the Kong Household enter first.
Kong Wenxuan and the others naturally understood what the Ya Household meant. At this moment, they did not show any modesty. After thanking the other party, they walked towards the Bi Household's "Promotion Celebration Banquet".
Upon arrival, the Bi Household naturally arranged for people to receive them. After the Kong Household presented their congratulatory gifts, they led the way to the banquet and the seats arranged for the Kong Household.
Kong Wenxuan looked and indeed found himself in a corner of the "Promotion Celebration Banquet".
Although the Kong Household has risen three ranks in a row within a few decades, which has attracted much attention and made many people place their hopes on the future of the Kong Household.
But hope is just hope. The reality is that the Kong Household is still just a "Low-Grade True Spirit" Lineage under the Bi Household. At such a "promotion celebration banquet", they are far from being able to sit in the middle or important positions. They can only sit in these corners and watch other "Middle-Grade True Spirit" Lineage take the stage as the main characters.
