Suddenly

The banquets on the top floor are arranged roughly in a semicircle, which is a traditional kneeling seat with a shorter table in front and a spacious open space in the middle. At this time, under Geng Fu's instructions, a beautiful female servant led the heads and figures to sit. Yu Ci took a deep breath, forced his mind to move away from the Zhaoshen bronze arcade, swept his eyes, and took all the people in the huge hall into his eyes.

He saw Jin Huan at first sight. The Bai Ri Mansion Lord did not enter Yunzhu Garden before, but talked to people in a corner of the hall. He heard the music in the banquet hall and walked over. The person who had just talked to him followed him, following him step by step. That was Kuang Yanqi.

Jin Huan still looked the same, with a long black gold robe, a jade belt around her waist, and a square face without anger. The passive situation over the past few days seemed to have no effect on him. He strode over and greeted Xie Yan, and then made a "invitation" posture, which was quite as elegant as a landlord.

Everyone immediately entered the seat. Xie Yan naturally sat in the first place in the head, and Yu Ci sat next to him. Many people might be unhappy with this position, but no one dared to question it. Jin Huan went to the other side to sit and faced the two of them. However, Kuang Yanqi had no seat, but just stood behind him, lowering his head without saying a word.

Of course, you can take your followers, and Kuang Yanqi also has a "center coordination" job. As for why Jin Chuan, who is more intimate with Kim Hwan, I heard that the boy has been confined to Kim Hwan since he met Yu Ci in Tianyi Tower last time, and he has returned to the mansion by Kim Hwan. However, now it seems that Kuang Yanqi's mental state is not very good. He has not seen him for a few days and has lost a lot of weight.

After a chaotic turmoil, all the people on the table were already in the table, talking and laughing, and the atmosphere was still relatively harmonious. Yu Ci's eyes swept over again. This time he saw Zhao Ziyue, the guy who was suspected of selling private goods was smiling at him, then turned his head and fought with a Taoist priest on the other side.

The Taoist priest was Lu Mingyue. Yu Ci just looked at him from afar. He was close at this time and looked more realistic under the light. He only felt that this guy was really a drunkard. But for some reason, his eyebrows were full of joy. Even if he was facing Zhao Ziyue across the air, he also felt the superiority of "too lazy to care about you", which was so strange.

And next to him was a monk.

When Yu Ci's eyes were cast, the monk also raised his head, and his surprisingly upright and quiet face was expressionless, but when he saw Yu Ci's attention, he smiled and nodded, very friendly. Yu Ci also smiled, as if he had a tacit understanding in it.

There is no doubt that this is Monk Isin. He has nothing in common with his disciples who are poisonous like snakes. His posture of sitting upright is comparable to that of any eminent monk.

"It is hard to know the person and the face." Yu Ci sighed secretly. Looking at this guy, who would have thought that he was the culprit of the turmoil in the Tianli Valley, a real poisonous snake, hidden in the dark, and chose people to eat them?

At this time, there were still people on the table.

A total of fourteen seats were placed on the top floor of Tianyi Tower. The immortal chief of Lichen Sect, the head of the five major forces in the Cliff City, Lu Mingyue, the representative of the casual cultivator, five "outsiders" who came from afar, and the leader of the Suixin Pavilion caravan who had not yet appeared.

At this time, all the "outsiders" represented by Zhao Ziyu had arrived. The leader of the caravan was about to preside over the subsequent Yi Bao banquet, but he did not attend the seat. In addition, Yu Ci's head was empty, that is, the seat of Wanling Gate, which was reasonable. Since he was defeated by Jin Huan that year, Shi Song has not stepped into the cliff city half a step. Setting up a seat is just a sign of respect.

Only one...

"Master Chiyin of Xuanyin Sect has arrived."

In such an occasion, Geng Fu certainly could not have been able to elongate his tone and shout, but just such a plain sentence, combined with the fragrant wind and beautiful figure that followed, instantly attracted everyone's attention.

He was wearing a black cloak unique to the Xuanyin Sect. Chi Yin slowly stepped into the hall. His pretty face had a faint expression and a clear face, like a beautiful sculpture. The greetings to everyone on the table were just a simple response, without any sense of being late. In fact, she was there and was very punctual.

From beginning to end, she just said something like "I've seen Xie Xianchang" when facing Xie Yan. It was impossible for her to be very enthusiastic about the sects on both sides. Then, the female cultivator went straight to the seat and sat down at Jin Huan's head according to the seat schedule. In this way, she happened to face Yu Ci.

The two had no communication in sight.

On the inside of Yu Ci's forearm, the heat from the Zhaoshen Tongjian was still engraved on the flesh. But at this moment, the previously slightly anxious mood suddenly calmed down, as if he had put a handful of ice and snow in his heart.

The colorful sound suddenly sounded like thunder below, which made the Tianyi Tower tremble slightly. The Yi Bao Banquet over there had already begun, and he had a good start.

This is like a signal, and the conversation on the top small scale has stopped, but the merchants in Suixin Pavilion have not arrived yet.

Everyone here naturally calmed down, letting the colorful shouts downstairs go higher and higher, but some people just muttered a few words in their hearts, the airs of Suixin Pavilion were too big.

At this moment, a wisp of smoke came out from the open space surrounded by the table, instantly attracting everyone's attention.

The smoke changes tortuously and vaguely forms. It looks like a newborn tree bud breaking out of the ground and slowly growing taller. The trunk gradually forms, and then branches and leaves scatter, creating a few branches surrounded by smoke.

The branches are not fixed, but are swirling and swimming on the smoke tree trunk, changing with each other. Yu Ci counted and there were five in total.

On the branches, there are smoke stacks and leaves, which are actually a tray that carries things. There are various colors of light shining on it. Through the smoke surrounding the outer layer, it turns into a blurred light and shines on the entire audience. It attracts everyone's attention for a moment.

"Gam it!"

Yu Ci laughed in her heart, and looked at Zhao Ziyue in a blink of an eye, but saw that the man also looked at him, probably because he wanted to come straight to what he said before. Both of them smiled and nodded, and then turned their eyes to the smoke tree.

It is said to be a gimmick, but I have to admit that this technique of "raising smoke trees on the ground and grafting treasure light on five branches" is very eye-catching, especially the light smoke lingers between the branches and leaves. I don't know what its nature is, but the light shines out, but the real treasure is looming, and it can't be seen clearly in any case, which makes people feel itchy. I think this smoke tree is a pretty good thing.

At this moment, a laughter rang out.

"I'm afraid and frightened. I'm so worried that all the immortals and fellow Taoists have been waiting for a long time. I am Zhou Youde and I'm in charge of Suixin Pavilion. I'm polite here."

Accompanied by laughter, a short and strong figure turned out from behind the screen. This man looked solid, but his face was filled with a gentle smile, which was a very typical businessman. At this time, he clasped his fists to the top, bowed repeatedly, and saluted to everyone present. When he was in front of the table, he bowed to Xie Yan alone:

"Since the time when the old spring parted, Xie Xian has become as charming as ever, which makes people envious."

Yu Ci met Youde this week in the morning and knew that he was a very sleek guy, but he didn't know whether he and Xie Yan were old friends.

Xie Yan glanced at the strange eyes slightly, his eyes swept over Zhou Youde's face, and nodded slightly, as a response. Then he turned his face and stared at the smoke tree in the middle of the floor.

Zhou Youde obviously knew Xie Yan's temper, so he bowed to the surroundings and then sat down, then coughed lightly. In fact, his physical condition was not very good, his face was pale yellow, and he was injured when he was robbed by a forced man a few days ago. At this time, he was also forced to keep his professional smile and greet him in full.

In this space, Yu Ci felt something was wrong.

His eyes turned to Xie Yan and found that the master's eyes were not blinking, staring at the shining light on the smoke trees, with a very serious expression. It was because he had had a lot of contact with Xie Yan in recent days that he had such a meticulous feeling. In the eyes of others, this introverted and strange fairy elder has always had that expression, and has never changed.

What is Xie Yan looking at?

Yu Ci couldn't see through the smoke outside the treasure, but his eyesight was not comparable to that of monk Bu Xu.

At this time, some treasures were displayed downstairs, which caused a burst of exclamation and the atmosphere was even more lively. After this sound passed, Zhou Youde finally got to the point, stretched out his hand and pointed at the smoke tree in the middle of the banquet.

"Everyone, these are the five magic weapons I prepared for this Yibao Banquet in Suixin Pavilion. They are all brought from the Western Buddhist Kingdom. They are very distinctive and are of great benefit to practice. You should know the rules of this Yibao Banquet. If I open a treasure, if there is a fairy elder, I will be able to see it. You can roughly estimate the price and exchange it for treasures of the same value, or purchase it with my Suixin Pavilion's "Ruyi Money". Well, of course, before opening the seal, I will tell you the price."

Most of the people here are laughing. It is not because Zhou Youde's words are funny, but because he understands the background in his words.

Big merchants like Suixin Pavilion have always been committed to setting up a common currency in the world of cultivation and changing the traditional barter trading model. However, in the end, the currency they have made can only be circulated in a small range. This "ruyi money" is probably only useful when dealing with Suixin Pavilion, and everyone here does not have it. Zhou Youde is actually promoting it hard, and everyone understands this thought.

Zhou Youde also laughed, no longer said anything, and gently slapped the high fives. On one of the branches of the smoke tree, layers of clouds bloomed like lotus flowers, revealing one of the palm-sized rings, which seemed to be made of brass metal. It seemed that this ring looked average, and Zhou Youde offered a price:

"'Tongxin Xihuan', Ruyi money is 5,000."

Some people who are familiar with the internal market are a little surprised. The price is very good. It is approximately equivalent to the value of the magic weapon superimposed by the talismans above forty levels of the "Tiangang and Earth Demons" sacrifice and refining method.

Seeing everyone's expressions, Zhou Youde smiled and continued to explain:

"This 'Tongxin Rhinoceros ring' is made by taking the horns of the ring-horned rhinoceros unique to the Western Buddhist Kingdom, and rubbing them with wind-milling Xuan copper. It was consecrated by the great monks of Lanruo Temple, and was superimposed by thirty-one layers of Buddha bathing mantras and placed close to the body to remove the demons of the heart and drive away evil spirits. It can attack the enemy and reduce the evil spirits. In addition, due to the characteristics of the 'ring-horned rhinoceros,' relying on this thing, birds and beasts can communicate without practicing, and make simple communication with all living things, which is very unique."

Yu Ci looked at the ring from afar and suddenly realized that if he had this ring in hand when he met Nan Songzi that day, he would have to deal with it more calmly.

Zhou Youde looked around at the banquet and grinned, "Is there any fellow Taoist who is interested?"

There was silence at the banquet, not that no one cared about it. But that people who were interested were calculating how to use "Yibao" to make it more cost-effective. Zhou Youde was also patient and waited with a smile.

At this moment, someone suddenly whispered the Buddha's name. It was Monk Ishin. He was born in Buddhism and understood the details more: "Lanruo Temple is one of the thirty-three treasure temples in the West. If it is consecrated by the monks, it will be worth ten layers of talismans. The effect of the birds and beasts is like being tailored for the Wanling Sect. Unfortunately, the leader of the Shi Sect is not here..."

"Who said Shi was not here!"

A vigorous cry came from outside the door. Before he finished speaking, a tall and gray-haired old man stepped in. His smile sounded through his chest and then came out, which was thick and powerful:

"How could Shi not come here for such a lively and wonderful banquet?"

Yu Ci glanced at him and saw Jin Huan's face. After being surprised and suspicious, there was no concealed gloomy color.

Shi Song, the leader of the Wanling Sect, who had not entered the Cliff City for fifty years, came to the Tianyi Tower without warning and appeared in front of his old opponent.

There was another exclamation downstairs, as if he had made a footnote to Shi Song's arrival.
Chapter completed!
