Longevity and Immortal Journey: Raising Demons, Raising Plants and Seeking Immortals

Chapter 233
Banquet?
Jing Gui didn't know what their plan was, but thinking that he would be in contact with them for a long time in the future, he hesitated and agreed.

"it is good."

Jiao Yang was not surprised. He nodded slightly and turned towards the banquet venue, which was Ma Rong's home.

Jing Gui followed behind him silently.

In no time, the two of them approached Ma Rong's courtyard.

As we got closer and closer, an alluring aroma came from the courtyard.

When they walked to the courtyard gate and saw the scene, their faces showed strange expressions.

I saw a dozen beautiful women wearing thin veils busy in the courtyard.

Some people are processing meat and cutting it into shredded meat of different sizes, some are picking and washing vegetables, some are using their knife skills to carve out exquisite and beautiful birds and animals, and some are using magic to pour water to freeze the fruits. .

In the center of the courtyard, a temporary stove was set up, with flames raging.

A woman wearing a tulle dress and a long skirt with a temperament like a gentle woman from a good family stood in front of the stove, with the frying spoon flying in her hand. Dishes with full color, fragrance and flavor came out from her hands, and then they were waited on by others. The woman took it away and sent it to the wooden house.

The occasional glimpse of the scenery made Jiao Yang's eyes light up, and he praised softly: "The two stewards have a great battle."

He considers himself to be well-informed and has a good taste of various pavilions in Xianchengfang City, but this is the first time he has seen such a group of warblers and swallows, and they all have cooks who are highly skilled in cultivation. .

Especially the natural scenery revealed by it made his heartstrings beat.

But Jing Gui, who was beside him, frowned.

The two of them could not stay for more than a few breaths when they saw a person walking out of the house, it was Ma Rong.

"I've met Manager Jing and Manager Jiao."

Ma Rong smiled and cupped his hands, and then extended his hand in vain, "Please come and talk to me in the room."

"Manager Ma is very polite."

When Jing returned, Jiao Yang returned the greeting and followed him into the house.

Turning around a screen, a fairly spacious living room came into view.

On the round table in the hall, dozens of dishes of various colors have been placed, steaming with heat and exuding alluring aromas.

Several beautiful and thinly dressed women stood nearby. When they saw the three people entering, they all leaned forward and said, "I've seen you, sir."

"This is."

However, Jing Gui and Jiao Yang passed by them without looking at the dishes. Instead, they looked under the wooden table with surprise on their faces.

I saw orange-yellow flames burning fiercely below the wood Zhuo.

But not only did it not damage the wooden table, it actually supported the dining table like a pillar of fire.

And this is not the most surprising thing for the two of them.
What surprised them most was that there was a woman curled up and sleeping in the raging flames.

In other words, the orange flame overflowed from the pores around her body. As she breathed, the flame rose and fell, and the wooden table also rose and fell.

Seeing the expressions of the two of them, Ma Rong showed a smile in his eyes, stretched out his hand and said softly: "Two stewards, please take a seat. Steward Ke heard that a casual cultivator had found a special delicacy and is looking for it. He will be back in a moment."

Jing Gui and Jiao Yang looked at each other and sat down slowly.

As soon as they sat down, the two discovered the difference.

Yuanzhuo is dark in color and exudes faint spiritual energy fluctuations. Its exposed areas are engraved with crooked and slanted lines, which can be called ugly lines.

Jiao Yang glanced at the lines, was stunned for a moment, and then said with some surprise: "The ban on drawing fire is not good enough."

Feel the warmth radiating from the wooden table.

Jiao Yang looked thoughtful, looked at Ma Rong who was smiling and said nothing, and asked doubtfully: "Is she a treasure?"

Jing Gui obviously understood a little bit and looked at Ma Rong as well.

Suppressors are the suppressive objects of the magic circle and one of the sources of power. Because the size and power of the magic circle are different, the suppressors used are also different.

Small magic circles mostly use spirit stones as a weight, while large magic circles mostly use spiritual whirlpools as a weight.

Taking the sect as an example, its sect-protecting formations are almost always built on spiritual whirlpools. Its endless supply of spiritual energy can ensure that the formations are open all year round.

And because large formations are complex and have various abilities, there are often dozens or even hundreds of different auxiliary objects. The objects can be magic weapons, blood weapons, monsters, poison pills, spiritual objects, etc.
Even sects with strong family backgrounds would use magic weapons as tokens.

The formation is usually in a state of hidden accumulation, but once it encounters a crisis, the formation is fully activated, and its power is enough to shake the world.

This is also why the longer the sect stands, the deeper its heritage becomes.

Moreover, with the existence of the sect-protecting formation, even if the sect's high-end combat power is reduced to a certain period of time, relying on the sect-protecting formation can ensure that it will not be in danger of annihilating the sect for the time being, and look forward to the future.

Facing the gazes of the two people, Ma Rong did not hide anything, smiled and nodded, "Yes, that woman is the magic weapon of this formation that does not count as a formation."

After saying that, he gestured to the women standing beside him.

They were obviously used to this. They walked to the four sides of the wooden table, stretched out their hands to hold the wooden table, and used their spiritual power to enter the restriction inside the wooden table.

Buzz. The forbidden spiritual light flashes and trembles for several breaths.

As a roar came out, the fierce flames slowly converged and soon disappeared.

When they moved away the wooden table, a woman wearing long trousers and a bellyband, with a shiny scalp and a numb and calm face slowly stood up and cast a blessing on the three of them.

Ma Rong ordered: "Turn your back."

When the bald woman heard this, she slowly turned around like a puppet.

Unlike her fair face, there were hideous purple-red scars all over her back, and there were sarcomas on the scars, and there was a red line between the sarcomas connecting them together, forming an ugly pattern. .

Within the sarcoma, red light sometimes shines through the skin.

Jiao Yang looked stunned and shook his head slightly.

Jing Gui frowned and said disdainfully: "I thought there was something wonderful about it, but it turned out that I just borrowed a second body. In fact, I still used a fire spiritual object as a counterweight."

"These people are just a small organization of casual cultivators, specializing in banquets." Ma Rong was not angry, and explained with a smile: "What magic tricks they have, they are just using some dirty tricks for people's entertainment."

"But the food tastes really good, you two can try it."

Then he waved to the women and said, "Okay, let's go back."

"Yes, my lord."

The bald woman lay down again, with a red reflection on her back. Her body twitched for ten breaths, her eyes slowly closed, and wisps of fire overflowed from her back, and soon turned into raging flames again, connected with the wooden table, and turned into a pillar of fire support. sitting on a round table.

"A casual cultivator, that's true."

Jing Gui was stunned for a moment and nodded slightly.

Jiao Yang observed carefully, and did not look back until the woman turned into firewood again and supported the round table.

He praised: "Although the method is crude, it is somewhat innovative."

However, he had no intention of imitating it.

Mainly because it's too much trouble.

It is not difficult to make this set of tools. All you need to do is find a top-level formation master. The difficulty is that as the carrier of the formation, it is like firewood. It will turn into ashes within a few years, and you will have to make another one at that time. A body is too troublesome.

Then the three of them started chatting.

Not long after, Manager Ke hurriedly entered the house.

After a few polite words.

Ma Rong asked: "Have you got the ingredients?"

"I got it." Ke Jing nodded slightly, "It's being cooked."

Jiao Yang listened to the conversation between the two and asked with some confusion: "What?"

"A stone monkey." Ke Jing said with a smile.

"Stone monkey?" Jiao Yang and Jing Gui both looked confused.

Ma Rong smiled and explained: "A low-grade spiritual beast, its brain is poisonous, but its taste is extremely delicious."

"Then I want to have a good taste." Jiao Yang smiled and nodded when he heard this. As for the toxin?With his Pulse Condensation Realm cultivation, the poison of a mere low-grade spiritual beast was refined in a flash of spiritual power.

"Please."

Ma Rong stretched out his hand in vain, and several people moved their chopsticks.

The women standing nearby also gathered around, pouring wine and serving dishes for the four of them.

Time passed slowly, and several people gradually became familiar with each other from strangers.

The words also became denser.

Everything you said to me was very harmonious.

After Ke Jingxun's stone monkey was processed, it was quickly brought to the table by the cook.

Jiao Yang took a bite, his eyes brightened, and he praised it.

Jing Gui also nodded slightly.

Apparently the stone monkey taste satisfied them.

After the banquet.

Ma Rong waved away the cook, and several people gathered in the hall to drink tea.

After a few breaths of silence.

Ma Rong put down the teacup, cupped his hand and said: "The two stewards are the deacon's confidants, so they must know what the deacon likes? Please feel free to mention it next time."

"Yes, please ask the two stewards to give us a hand."

Ke Jing also echoed.

This was also the decision the two of them made after hesitating for several days after the handover with Jiao Yang, that is, to throw themselves directly into Deacon Liang.

According to the past, they didn't have to do this, because they belonged to Lingtian Palace and were naturally under the deacons of Lingtian Palace.

But Deacon Liang was originally the master of the Miscellaneous Hall, and they had only heard of him but never had any contact with him.

Moreover, they don't know whether this person is stationed temporarily or permanently in the spiritual land. The former is fine, but if it is the latter, they may be in bad luck if they continue to wander around like this.

Jiao Yang and Jing Gui looked at each other and understood what they were thinking.

Jiao Yang's heart moved slightly, and after pretending to hesitate for a few breaths, he muttered: "This."

Ma Rong and Ke Jing were very sensible. They each took out a jade box and placed it in front of their table.

Ma Rong cupped his hands and said, "Please give us a hand, please."

Jiao Yang waved his sleeves, put away the jade box, and said with a smile: "The deacon likes spiritual stones the most."

Jing Gui, who had put away the jade box, couldn't help but twitching his eyes when he heard this.

Favorite spiritual stone?
Ma Rong and Ke Jing looked at each other and couldn't help but curse secretly in their hearts.

Deacon Liang didn't hide it at all and clearly asked them to hand over the benefits.

Ma Rong was speechless. He cupped his hands and forced a smile and said, "Thank you very much, Manager Jiao. I will visit the deacon tomorrow. Please help me."

"Haha, easy to say, easy to say."

This was what Butler Liang meant, and Jiao Yang also benefited from it, so he agreed directly without any hesitation.

Jing Gui on the side was slightly moved. He looked at Ma Rong and suddenly asked, "Can you tell me about Li Changsheng?"

Ok?
Ma Rong was stunned for a moment, his heart sank, and he pretended to be confused: "What does this mean, Manager Jing?"

Jing Gui said softly: "I saw that you were quite close to him that day. After all, I will be in charge of the second-level spiritual field in the future. I want to ask about him and learn more about him to avoid conflict with him."

Ma Rong frowned slightly, just when he wanted to speak.

Ke Jing rolled his eyes and interjected: "Although I don't know as much as Guanshi Ruma, I do know some information about him."

"Oh?" Jing Gui glanced at Ma Rong, turned his head, and said with a smile, "Then I'll ask Manager Ke to talk about it."

Ke Jing pondered for a moment and sighed: "This man was originally a beast slave in the sect's small secret realm. He was favored by the deacon who transported spiritual objects and brought him out of the Beast Valley, and then let him join Zafeng. .”

"Hmm! Beast slave?"

Jing Gui looked slightly stunned. He didn't inquire specifically before coming to Huanshan Lingdi. He just thought that Li Changsheng was a lucky guy who happened to become a spiritual planter.

Unexpectedly, Li Changsheng was born as a beast slave from the sect's small secret realm.

From a lowly beast slave to a spiritual planter, and then to the Pulse Condensation Realm, it is not a big leap, it is even a huge difference.

Jing Gui's expression turned serious.

At this time, Jiao Yang on the side suddenly laughed and said: "That's true. When Master Li Lingzhi first entered Zafeng, I was the one who received him."

As soon as this word comes out.

Ma Rong and the three of them all showed surprised expressions. They did not expect that the two of them would have such an encounter.

Jiao Yang smiled and said: "At that time, I saw that he was quite extraordinary and wanted to make friends with him." Then he regretted: "Unfortunately, I was busy with official duties at the time and forgot about it."

Thinking back to the shy young man who gave him a gift, and then looking at the handsome young man in the Lingtian Hall a few days ago.

Jiao Yang couldn't help but sigh, "Alas"

If he could really see that Li Changsheng would grow up to this point and lower his status to befriend him, then it would not be difficult to gain some benefits from the relationship between the two.

Jing Gui saw his expression and immediately understood what was going on.

It may be true that Li Changsheng entered Zafeng and was received by him, but as for making friends?hehe.
The two have been together for many years, but he still doesn't know Jiao Yang's temperament?

This was the first time Ma Rong and Ke Jing knew about this matter, and they were skeptical of Jiao Yang's words.

When Li Changsheng first entered Zafeng, he was only in the realm of Qi training, so he was not worthy of being friends with a dignified steward.

However, no one spoke out to expose it.

Seeing Ke Jing still wanted to talk.

Ma Rong quickly picked up some unimportant trivial matters about Li Changsheng and told them, naturally speaking with great praise.

Jing Gui's expression remained unchanged after hearing this, regardless of what he was thinking.

until night time.

The three of them said goodbye and left one after another.

Ma Rong sat in the room for a while, without using the escape light, he stepped into the night.

Wanshe Lake Island, the central courtyard on the mountain peak.

Inside the cabin.

Ma Rong talked endlessly about the conversation he had with Jiao Yang and Jing Gui in the afternoon, as well as his description of the two of them.

After a while.

Ma Rong picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea, and said doubtfully: "I don't think the two people's expressions and tone seem to want to embarrass junior brother, but they don't seem to have any intention of making friends with junior brother."

Li Changsheng took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "Isn't this great? It saves you the trouble of dealing with it."

"Well, that's true."

Ma Rong was stunned for a moment, and after thinking about it, it was indeed the case.

Li Changsheng did not continue to talk about this topic, but asked: "Senior brother, do you know when the spiritual objects promised by Sihai Chamber of Commerce, Fengqi Chamber of Commerce, and Senior Brother Lan will be delivered?"
