Chapter 6661 Banquet and Discussion
Tang Zhen knew that the monks from the Northwest Alliance would definitely contact him to discuss topics that were of interest to both parties.
Following the thousand-year-old ancient road, he came to an ancient city called Xiliu City.
This is a strategic military location, with wars raging here for thousands of years, and the ancient city walls are covered with traces of battles.
There is a Wangfeng Pavilion outside the city, and in the courtyard there is a white jade stele with dozens of poems left by the ancients on it.
The iron armor on top of Xiliu City is cold, and the winter wind blows overnight and the mountains are covered with snow.
The royal flag is still there, but we will not allow the war smoke to pass this pass.
A few hundred meters away, there is a three-story stone building called Qinggong Tower, which was built three hundred years ago with funds raised by wealthy businessmen in the city.
Later, after going through wind and rain and being repaired several times, the building has long become a well-known tourist attraction.
It is said that a hundred years ago, an immortal stayed here and drank thirty-six jars of fine wine. He got so drunk that he fell asleep on the ground.
After waking up nine days later, he left a talisman on the upper floor, which is said to protect the building from water and fire.
This building has suffered from fire many times, but each time water condensed out of thin air and extinguished the burning flames directly.
Later generations renamed this building Yuxian Tower, and it became a place frequented by scholars and men of letters.
When Tang Zhen arrived outside Xiliu City, he met a young boy and a girl waiting on the roadside, who invited him to a banquet at Yuxian Tower.
"Lead the way."
This man and woman are both cultivators, and their cultivation has reached the third level. They are true geniuses.
Sending talented monks to welcome guests is not only to express respect, but also to demonstrate strength.
He wanted to tell Tang Zhen that the Northwest Alliance was not weak and had a large number of elite monks.
There is nothing wrong with this move. When demonstrating strength, one must always show the best soldiers and generals.
You always keep things secret, so who knows your hidden tactics? If no one knows, they won't feel wary of you.
When you get close to Yuxian Tower, you can feel the warm water vapor, which makes the place cool and clean.
Flowers and plants along the way are vying for beauty and the trees are also covered with clusters of flowers. It is clearly not the flowering season, but hundreds of flowers are blooming overnight.
Such a strange sight was clearly created on purpose to welcome distinguished guests from afar.
In front of the Yuxian Tower, four high-level monks stood quietly waiting, watching Tang Zhen slowly approaching on horseback.
Master Wuque looked towards Tang Zhen, seemingly calm on the surface, but his heart was suddenly filled with turmoil.
Although before this, he had already had a preliminary understanding of Tang Zhen through the description of his subordinates.
When I saw it now, I still felt it was extraordinary.
Hearing about someone is not as good as meeting him in person. Tang Zhen's demeanor and power are far stronger than imagined.
Fortunately, we meet at this moment not for a battle on the battlefield, but for peaceful communication.
It would be best if we could reach an agreement, but it’s never too late to take action if we can’t.
"Thank you for your honor, Your Excellency. I am the leader of the Northwest Monks' Alliance, Taoist Wuque."
The other three monks introduced their identities, all of them were high-ranking members of the Northwest Cultivation Alliance.
The four high-level monks jointly hosted a banquet to entertain Tang Zhen, which was already a very high standard.
"Tang Zhen, from the Immortal City."
Tang Zhen also revealed his identity, but the place he mentioned was one that Master Wuque had never heard of.
It's normal if you haven't heard of it, and it's wrong if you have heard of it.
Under the guidance of Taoist Priest Wuque, the monks climbed to the top floor of Yuxian Tower, which was already filled with all kinds of wine and food.
When entertaining a special person like Tang Zhen, ordinary dishes cannot be used. Doing so will not only fail to show respect, but will also bring shame to the Northwest Cultivation Alliance.
If you look closely, you can see that this banquet was prepared with great care.
After the monks took their seats, servants poured wine for them. A stream of nectar spilled from the jade pot, accumulated and reverberated in the exquisite wine glasses, and the rich aroma of the wine wafted throughout the table.
"This wine is collected from the bottom of the deep pool of Tianyun Mountain. Water essence is taken from the ancient cold spring. It is brewed with fresh fruits picked by the spirit monkey and distilled with the fire from the earth's core. The jar is sealed and buried nine hundred feet underground. It is warmed by geothermal heat for sixty-nine years before it can be taken out and drunk."
The cultivator next to Taoist Wuque introduced the origin of the wine to Tang Zhen as if he knew it by heart.
Tang Zhen nodded slightly when he heard this. The brewing process was so time-consuming and laborious, it must be a rare and good wine. After drinking the wine in the glass, it was indeed mellow and full-bodied, with a long aftertaste.
"This is a rare and unique Lingzhu oyster found below 3,000 meters in the Northern Territory's Ice Sea. The meat is extremely tender and fresh, and can be eaten directly without cooking."
“This is a borer from the heart of the spirit tree. It feeds on the spirit tree and will never leave the heart of the tree. Using the spirit tree fruit to extract oil and cook can produce a unique aroma.
If mortals eat it, they will be free from all diseases, and if monks eat it, it can cleanse their meridians."
"This is a plate of stone fruit, a rare and unique elixir. The seeds will take root and sprout inside the stone, and eventually grow into a unique fruit. After eating it, it will strengthen your muscles and bones, making you as hard as steel, and it tastes extremely delicious."
Each of the various dishes on the table is extraordinary, enough to be considered a great opportunity by ordinary monks.
If you can get one, it is possible to change your destiny.
But at this moment, all kinds of rare things were treated as dishes and filled the table.
If an ordinary cultivator saw such a scene, he would certainly be shocked.
The things one enjoys are different because of the different levels of strength. Many cultivators may not be able to obtain something even if they risk their lives and even their entire fortune, but it is just a delicacy in the mouth of a great cultivator.
After three rounds of wine and five dishes, we finally got to the point.
Taoist Wuque asked Tang Zhen whether he was from Green Water City and whether he was a person from another world.
There was no need to hide these things, Tang Zhen admitted them frankly.
After confirming Tang Zhen's identity, Master Wuque and the three alliance leaders felt a little relieved.
Looking at Tang Zhen's attitude, he didn't behave aggressively, but rather was very easy-going and calm.
Master Wuque inquired about the purpose of this visit and whether it would harm the interests of the Northwest Alliance.
Having gone through so much effort to come to the Haoyue Realm, it is definitely not the case that he is here to stroll around and have fun.
If it is aimed at the Northwest Alliance, it depends on what the matter is and whether there is a possibility of negotiation.
If it has nothing to do with you, then just ignore it and be a spectator.
Master Wuque didn't care whether it would endanger other cultivation organizations, nor did he want to pay attention to it, and he would not take the initiative to ask Tang Zhen.
If you know the truth but pretend not to know, you will definitely get into trouble.
If I tell him secretly, I might offend Tang Zhen again.
In that case, just don’t ask. If you don’t know, you won’t worry.
The actions of other cultivation organizations made Master Wuque very angry, and now he just wanted to manage his own territory.
Tang Zhen made it clear that this trip had other goals and had nothing to do with the Northwest Alliance.
In the next few days, we may take this route, but it will not harm the interests of the Northwest Alliance.
What the Northwest Alliance needs to do is to open up a dedicated passage so that people from the Immortal City can pass through smoothly.
The Immortal City will provide a batch of resources for trading with the Northwest Alliance, which will be of great benefit to the monks.
The cooperation plan proposed by Tang Zhen made several alliance monks very interested, and they all started to plan it secretly.
If it can be carried out as agreed, it will be a golden opportunity for the Northwest Monks Alliance.
Within the Haoyue Realm, the strength of the Northwest Cultivation Alliance has always been ranked behind, simply because the terrain and environment are harsh, mostly desert Gobi areas, and the number of available cultivation resources is scarce.
Due to the scarcity of spiritual energy, the number of practitioners is much smaller, far less than that of practice organizations in other places.
There are also some practitioners who look down on the Northwest Alliance, just like ordinary mortals who despise the poor and love the rich, and always have a sense of superiority that comes from the region.
Master Wuque thought of many ways to try to reverse the disadvantage, but unfortunately the effects were minimal.
I didn't expect that there was a hidden opportunity behind this crisis. If we grasp it well, it might really allow the Northwest Cultivation Alliance to rise.
However, if this matter were exposed, it would inevitably lead to misunderstanding that the Northwest Cultivation Alliance was in cahoots with the evil demons from outer space.
Master Wuque hesitated in his heart, but soon sneered and made a decision in his heart.
Those damn bastards have been reluctant to send reinforcements, it's obvious that they are using me as a pathfinder.
I won’t be fooled, and I don’t care about any damn reputation. I only care about tangible benefits!
When I become strong in the future, if anyone dares to bully me, I will beat him until he surrenders and calls me daddy.
