Chapter 106 Banquet
A month later, the entire Little Dan Ridge was decked with lanterns and streamers, radiating joy everywhere.
Wei Hongchou, the Family Head of the Wei family, watched as a large number of cultivators made their way up the mountain path to attend the celebration and couldn't help but say, "Sect Master Zhao is truly an exceptional figure!"
After Zhao Yu had set up the Thousand Trees Formation Array in Little Dan Ridge and spread the news, many Loose Cultivators came to settle in Little Dan Ridge, using it as a base for adventuring in the Canglong Mountain range.
Zhao Yu also ordered the formation of an enforcement team to maintain order in Little Dan Ridge, cracking down on bandit cultivators, which brought even more order and attracted additional Loose Cultivators to settle.
The influx of a large number of cultivators into Little Dan Ridge also made it flourish even more.
Established families in Little Dan Ridge, such as the Wei and Tuoba families, naturally reaped countless benefits.
A Wei family elder said with regret, "It's a pity that Xinlan didn't receive the Sect Master's favor like Tuoba Xue. Otherwise, our Wei family wouldn't be suppressed by the Tuoba family!"
The elders of the Wei family all nodded slightly, showing their agreement.
Tuoba Xue, favored by Zhao Yu, held the power to handle various affairs. When dealing with the affairs of Little Dan Ridge, it was only natural for her to favor the Tuoba family slightly. She was intelligent and handled matters fairly. Even if she slightly favored the Tuoba family, Zhao Yu said nothing.
However, although Tuoba Xue only favored the Tuoba family slightly, that small bias brought many benefits to the Tuoba family, directly suppressing the Wei family.
A Wei family elder said with a light laugh, "However, although we are not as good as the Tuoba family, we are still a hundred times better than the Huo family."
The Wei family looked in the direction of the Huo family and saw only a few cultivators from their family attending the celebration. The beast tide from over a decade ago had greatly weakened the Huo family, and they had fallen to the status of an ordinary cultivation family.
"Dad, Mom!"
An excited voice came down from the mountain, and Wei Xinlan walked down the mountain path, her face lit up with joy as she looked at the middle-aged couple from the Wei family.
The plump middle-aged couple also beamed with happiness as they greeted her, "Xinlan!"
"Sixth Level of Qi Refining, her cultivation level is actually higher than mine! Damn it, she stole my opportunities!"
Wei Minghui, upon seeing the more radiant and charming Wei Xinlan, couldn't help but feel a surge of jealousy, completely forgetting it was she who had insisted on sending Xinlan away.
Under Wei Xinlan's lead, the Wei family members took their seats in a grand hall within the cave mansion.
After three rounds of drinks, and as the banquet was about to end, Zhao Yu said, "Since it's rare for all distinguished cultivators to gather here, how about we hold an exchange meeting?"
Tong Shouren praised, "Good! That's an excellent suggestion!"
Cui Qing and other Foundation Establishment Cultivators also nodded slightly in agreement.
The Peony Fairy was one of the top ten experts of the northern deserts and a True Disciple of Dan Ling Sect, practicing the Ancestral Sect Secret Technique, Mystic True Scripture of the Primordial Dao, with astonishing combat power. She surely had many valuable treasures in her possession.
Your next journey awaits at empire
After pondering for a moment, the Peony Fairy also slightly nodded her head to agree to the proposal.
Once the banquet ended, the Foundation Establishment Cultivators moved to a spacious palace.
"As the host here, allow me to throw out a brick to attract jade," Zhao Yu said with a slight smile, stepping onto a high platform inside the palace. "I have here Foundation Establishment Pills, Superior Triple Snake Pattern Pills, Superior Five-Beast Spirit Pills, and Second-Order Superior Longevity Elixirs.
I am looking to exchange for Hundred Herb Radiance Pills, Tricolored Mist Spirit Pills, Hundred-Refining Beast Spirit Pill ingredients, as well as relics of Fierce Ghosts above second-order, and Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures of the metal and earth attributes."
The Foundation Establishment Cultivators in attendance lit up upon hearing this, their eyes gleaming with intense fervor.
At first indifferent, the Peony Fairy's eyes shone with longing upon hearing 'Second-Order Superior Life Extension Pill', betraying her desire.
Even the Rainbow Ling Fairy within Dan Ling Sect rarely managed to refine such Second-Order Superior Life Extension Pills. The Rainbow Ling Fairy also often secluded herself for cultivation, hardly ever refining Second-Order Life-Extending Pills.
The Peony Fairy was well aware that one could only consume three Life-Extending Pills in one's lifetime at the Foundation Establishment Realm, so she had always waited for the production of Superior Life Extension Pills. Now the opportunity was in front of her, naturally stirring her heart.
"Here are nine relics of second-order Evil Ghosts, in exchange for three Second-Order Superior Longevity Elixirs!"
With a wave of her hand, the Peony Fairy sent nine jade boxes flying out, landing before Zhao Yu.
Zhao Yu said, "Nine Evil Ghost relics of the second-order can only be exchanged for one Second-Order Superior Longevity Elixir!"
"What about this item?"
After hesitating for a moment, the Peony Fairy took out a jade box, opened it, and revealed a small lump of black and white divine clay.
