Chapter 618: Winning over and inviting!

The second floor of the stone hall.

When the maid heard what Wei Hong said, she smiled sweetly and said, "Senior, I guess you have just broken through to the foundation-building stage not long ago? Please follow me!"

After that, the maid stretched out her hand and led Wei Hong to a compartment in the middle of the second floor to sit down.

After pulling out the wooden chair for Wei Hong to sit down, the maid respectfully said, "Senior, please wait here for a moment. I will serve you a cup of spiritual tea first and notify our steward immediately. Then our steward will come to handle it for you in person!"

"Well, go!"

Wei Hong nodded calmly.

The maid squatted and bowed, then slowly retreated.

Wei Hong casually looked around and found that except for some maids, there were actually not many cultivators on the second floor at this time. Compared with the lively scene on the first floor, it seemed a bit deserted.

Several other foundation-building monks who might have arrived earlier were also accompanied by someone at this time. While chatting enthusiastically, they took out a jade slip to record something.

A moment later, the maidservant brought a cup of fragrant spiritual tea and said respectfully: "Senior, please have some tea. Our steward will be here soon!"

"Thank you!"

Wei Hong nodded and smiled.

Seeing that Wei Hong had no other requests, the maidservant immediately stepped aside.

At this time, a middle-aged man with a refined appearance and wearing a green robe appeared on the second floor. When he saw Wei Hong, his eyes lit up and he walked towards him quickly.

"Haha, what is your name, fellow Taoist? I am Lu You, the steward of the second floor of the Foreign Affairs Hall. It is a great honor to meet you today!"

When the middle-aged man named Lu You walked in front of Wei Hong, he immediately greeted him with a warm smile on his face.

This person was also a cultivator in the early stage of foundation building, and his enthusiasm made Wei Hong quite uncomfortable.

He immediately stood up and responded with a smile: "I am Wei Hong, and I meet Fellow Daoist Lu!"

As for the greeting words of "I am lucky to meet you" in Lu You's mouth, he naturally filtered them out automatically.

However, Lu You seemed to be very enthusiastic. He took Wei Hong's arm and sat down next to him, and then smiled and said: "Haha, it turns out to be Fellow Daoist Wei. I am late. I hope Fellow Daoist Wei will not be offended. Come on, Fellow Daoist, try our spiritual tea."

Wei Hong could not refuse, so he could only pick up the teacup and take a sip. Then his face suddenly brightened slightly. After putting down the teacup, he nodded to Lu You and said: "Yes, it is indeed not an ordinary spiritual tea. Thank you Fellow Daoist Lu for your hospitality!"

After taking only a sip, he felt that the spiritual energy contained in the spiritual tea was enough to save him three days of meditation.

Lu You waved his hand and smiled nonchalantly, "Hey, it's just a little spiritual tea, how can it be called a treat? I hope you don't mind it!"

"Haha, you are too polite, by the way, I came here to re-register my identity information, but I don't know how to do it? Please tell me clearly!"

After a few pleasantries, Wei Hong took the initiative to bring the topic to business.

Hearing this, Lu You smiled even more enthusiastically: "Haha, you should have just broken through to the foundation-building stage not long ago, right?"

"Yes, I just broke through to the foundation-building stage less than half a year ago, and I just consolidated my realm recently, and I just returned to the fairy city today!" Wei Hong nodded and replied.

He deliberately said the time of the breakthrough was a little longer, so that no one would associate it with the incident that caused the strange phenomenon of heaven and earth in the future.

"Oh? Did you break through outside the city?" Lu You said with a little surprise.

Wei Hong did not hide anything and answered directly: "Yes, I found a secret place outside the city to break through in seclusion, and I was lucky enough to break through!"

"Haha, fellow Daoist, you are very courageous, and you can break through successfully. Where is the luck? Isn't it all due to your chance and hard work?"

Lu You didn't care, but laughed with appreciation.

Then he became more serious and said: "Since fellow Daoist has broken through to the foundation-building stage, you should naturally re-register your identity information. Please wait for a moment!"

After that, Lu You took out a blank jade slip from the storage bag.

Then he began to ask Wei Hong some simple identity information, origins, etc.

These are things that do not need to be concealed, and Wei Hong naturally told them one by one.

After Lu You asked clearly, he recorded all of Wei Hong's identity information and facial features in the blank jade slip.

After a moment, he called a maid, put the jade slip on the tray she was holding, and then ordered with a slightly majestic tone: "Take the jade slip to the Dianlu Pavilion, let Haifeng register it, and update the identity information of Fellow Daoist Wei."

"Yes, sir!"

The maid was very respectful, and immediately left with the jade slip after responding.

And Lu You turned around and asked Wei Hong with a smile on his face: "Haha, since Fellow Daoist Wei has just broken through, I wonder where he will go next? Or will he be invited by others?"

"Uh, invitations from others? What does Fellow Daoist Lu mean?"

Wei Hong looked confused.

Lu You looked at Wei Hong with a bit of surprise, then he seemed to understand something, and immediately explained more enthusiastically: "Haha, it turns out that Fellow Daoist Wei doesn't know yet. It's like this. In our Cangshan Immortal City, if there is a casual cultivator who breaks through to the foundation-building stage and registers his identity information in our foreign affairs hall, he is likely to be invited by some immortal families. Generally, they will invite foundation-building cultivators like Fellow Daoist Wei to serve as guests of those immortal families."

"Of course, these immortal families will also give generous treatment. I thought Fellow Daoist Wei had already received invitations from some families!"

After Lu You's explanation, Wei Hong suddenly realized, and also understood why Lu You was so enthusiastic about him when they first met. It was obvious that he wanted to win over a casual cultivator like him who built a foundation for Cangshan Immortal City.

Although Wei Hong didn't ask the reason, he could guess about 70% of it.

Cangshan Immortal City is very large, and its foundation is not small. From various workshops, spiritual medicine gardens, spiritual plant gardens, mines and shops, to the Punishment Hall, Cangshan Guards, Cangshan Immortal Prison and patrol teams, etc., almost every place needs a large number of manpower.

In this way, even if there are millions of cultivators in Cangshan Immortal City, there are not many who actually join Cangshan Immortal City. Therefore, for Wei Hong, a casual cultivator who can break through to the foundation-building stage, Cangshan Immortal City is naturally very welcome, and at the same time, it also hopes to absorb more casual cultivators like this.

This is why he was so warmly received by Lu You when he came to the Foreign Affairs Hall to register his identity information.

Lu You has obviously been doing this kind of thing for a long time, and it is estimated that there are definitely many casual cultivators who have won over to Cangshan Immortal City.
