Before they reached the mountain gate, the grayish-white flying ship was stopped.

From the market to the Golden Sun Sect, there were outer sect disciples patrolling from time to time. Any cultivator who dared to approach the sect or move around nearby would be detained by the law enforcement team if there was no reason. If it was serious, they would be killed on the spot.

Shopkeeper Chen hurriedly took out a jade token. The patrolling disciple glanced at them and smiled. “Fellow Daoists, so you’re going to participate in Senior Sister Chen’s Foundation Establishment banquet. Excuse me.” Me handed the jade token back.

The patrolling disciples immediately let them in. After arriving at the mountain gate, a maidservant beside the boss of the Spring Embroidery Pavilion came out to welcome them.

“Shopkeeper Chen, Master is receiving guests in the main hall. It’s not convenient for her to come out and welcome them. Please forgive her.” The maid in the blue dress led Shen Ping and the others into the Golden Sun Sect.

They stepped on the Dharma artifact, Green Leaf. He looked down at the mountain range surrounded by clouds. Shen Ping could clearly feel the dense spiritual energy coming at him.

There was a large spirit vein at the bottom of this Cloud Mountain. It extended to the surrounding mountains and could extend to Yunhe Alley. Back then, when the Golden Sun Sect built the small courtyards in Yunhe Alley, many independent cultivators fought for the branch of the spirit vein.

…..

Immortal cultivation, wealth, companionship, and land. The higher the level of a cultivator, the higher the demand for the spirit vein environment.

In the past, in Red Willow Alley, if he did not have any supplementary medicinal pills to cultivate and only relied on spirit stones and spiritual qi to cultivate, it would be very slow even if he had three types of spiritual roots.

If he stayed in the abundant spiritual vein environment of the Golden Sun Sect to cultivate, the situation would be clearly different.

“Is this the first time Talisman Master Shen has come to the Golden Sun Sect?” He seemed to have noticed Shen Ping’s subtle movements and expressions. Talisman Master Sun could not help but smile.

Shen Ping nodded. “It’s indeed my first time here. The spiritual energy in the Golden Sun Sect is really abundant, so I couldn’t help but be immersed in it.”

Talisman Master Sun smiled and said, “It’s very normal. It was the same when I first came to the Golden Sun Sect. Unfortunately, it’s very difficult for us to enter the mountain gate with our status as rogue cultivators. After the Golden Sun Sect’s inner sect disciples reach the Foundation Establishment Realm, they can open cave abodes in the surrounding spiritual vein mountains. This time, Senior Chen has successfully reached the Foundation Establishment Realm. I wonder who is lucky enough to enter the spiritual vein cave abode with her.”

Shen Ping’s heart stirred. These words seemed to be implying something. Shopkeeper Chen glanced at Talisman Master Sun. “The Chen family has two cultivators with dual spiritual roots. They will cultivate in the spiritual vein cave abode.”

Talisman Master Sun immediately fell silent.

On the other hand, Alchemist Zhou suddenly chuckled. “The Chen family of the Golden Sun Sect has become stronger and stronger in recent years. Now that there are outstanding clansmen among the younger generation, there might be Golden Core Daoist Masters in the future.”

Shopkeeper Chen smiled and said, “Who can say for sure what will happen in the future?”

There were many Foundation Establishment families in the Golden Sun Sect. More than ten of them had migrated to the branch sect. After more than twenty years of development and rooting, the Chen family’s foundation had become deeper and deeper. However, the internal competition had gradually become intense. The owner of the Spring Embroidery Pavilion only represented one of them.

A moment later, the maid in the blue dress said, “The mountain ahead is the spirit vein cave abode my master chose. Fellow Daoists, when you reach the main hall, you have to pay more attention.”

Shen Ping, Talisman Master Sun, and Alchemist Zhou nodded one after another. Shopkeeper Chen also nodded. They understood that coming to the Foundation Establishment banquet this time was a trip. The Green Leaf landed at the entrance of the cave abode. The maid in blue waved her hand.

The cave abode’s array formation was activated. They stepped in and arrived at the main hall.

Shen Ping saw a familiar figure. It was Xiao Qi’er. She smiled gracefully and went forward. “Uncle Chen, Senior Shen, Senior Sun, Senior Zhou, please follow me.”

They walked to the table in the left corner of the main hall. Shen Ping and the others sat down. Spiritual fruits and wine were served one by one.

Xiao Qi’er picked up the spirit wine and poured a cup each. She raised her wine cup and said, “Uncle Chen and the seniors are here to attend Master s banquet. I’ll toast everyone on behalf of my master.”

“You’re too kind, Fellow Daoist Xiao.”

The spirit wine entered his stomach. Waves of warmth spread in all directions, followed by the smell of alcohol.

Shen Ping almost couldn’t suppress it.

Xiao Qi’er saw that Shen Ping’s face was dizzy from the alcohol and smiled. “Senior Shen, this is the Fire-extracting Spirit Fruit Wine. You have to taste it carefully.”

Only then did Shen Ping notice that Shopkeeper Chen and the others were slowly drinking. However, he did not feel awkward. Instead, he smiled and said, “This is my first time drinking. I’ll know in the future.”

Alchemist Zhou sighed. “The Fire-extracting Spirit Fruit Wine is a rare spirit wine. It’s our honor for Senior Chen to take out such a spirit wine to serve us.”

Shen Ping glanced at him from the corner of his eye. “Alchemist Zhou is right. It’s indeed an honor. It’s already a blessing for me to be able to drink.”

After drinking, Xiao Qi’er accompanied them and spoke to Shopkeeper Chen from time to time. Shen Ping, Alchemist Zhou, and Talisman Master Sun sat quietly and waited. Not long after, a spiritual pressure appeared at the entrance of the cave abode. It was a Foundation Establishment expert.

Shopkeeper Chen, Shen Ping, and the others hurriedly stood up.

“Fellow Daoist Chen, congratulations on reaching Foundation Establishment!” A steady laugh could be heard.

Immediately after, a burly cultivator walked into the main hall. He was wearing a thick robe and had a green sword tied to his waist. Although he deliberately restrained his aura, it still made all the cultivators in the main hall feel stifled.

Shen Ping circulated his spiritual energy and barely blocked it. As soon as he recovered, he saw the boss of the Spring Embroidery Pavilion. She had a beautiful face and her black hair was tied up. There were two small jade beads at one end of her hairpin. She looked very heroic and her lips were slightly thick, but she looked a little round and smooth.

The long robe was embroidered with cloud patterns, and the outline of her walking was clearly trembling.

“Senior Hong, please come in!” The sound was crisp. It fell into his ears like a clear spring flowing in a mountain stream.

Soon, two Foundation Establishment Cultivators walked past the main hall and entered the inner room. Only then did all the cultivators in the main hall sit down again.

“Senior Chen is able to reach the Foundation Establishment Realm. Her lineage has opened up a new situation in the Golden Sun Sect.”

“It’s still right to choose to stay in the sub-sect.”

“Isn’t that so? Even if you return to the main sect, you won’t get any resources.”

The surrounding cultivators seemed to know more about the Golden Sun Sect. Shen Ping also listened attentively.

Following that, Foundation Establishment Cultivators arrived one after another. Shopkeeper Chen and the others stood up from time to time and sat down. It gradually stopped after 20 to 30 times.

It was almost dusk.

Other than hearing the low discussions of the surrounding guests, Shen Ping never saw the boss of the Spring Embroidery Pavilion come out again.

Shopkeeper Chen smiled and said, “Niece Xiao, we won’t stay long. We ll leave first.”

Xiao Qi’er nodded. “I’ll send Uncle Chen and the seniors out.”

When they left, it was still on the grayish-white flying ship. As they gradually left the mountain gate of the Golden Sun Sect,

Shen Ping suddenly came back to his senses and carefully thought about the Foundation Establishment banquet this time. It seemed that other than drinking a cup of Fire-extracting Spirit Fruit Wine, there was nothing else.

Thinking of this, he laughed involuntarily.

“Fellow Daoist Shen, we’re still very far from Foundation Establishment. You don’t have to take it to heart. It’s enough that we can attend such a banquet.” Shopkeeper Chen suddenly transmitted his voice.

“Fellow Daoist Chen is right!” Shen Ping replied with a voice transmission. Then, he turned around and looked up at the Golden Sun Sect under the setting sun. The palaces and pavilions of the majestic mountains could be seen clearly under the sunset.

He looked away. He stood on the flying ship with his hands behind his back, his eyes facing forward.

The Golden Sun Sect behind him was getting further and further away..
