Chapter 971: Gathering of Immortals for a Banquet
After waiting for a long time, amid many compliments, the atmosphere in the venue became more and more intense.
Qin Tian also seemed to be gradually lost, and began to become a little moody. His face also looked red, as if he was a new official taking office and he was high-spirited.
With eyes twinkling, the young master of the Xiao family on the side quickly saw the opportunity and stepped forward. He raised his hands rather politely and said:
"My Excellency, Xiao Bufan, has met City Lord Qin! From now on, in this Fengming Fairy City, I, the Xiao Chamber of Commerce, will have to take care of the business of the City Lord!"
Hearing this, Qin Tian couldn't help but look surprised, and then he quickly returned the greeting politely:
"It turns out that it was the young master of the Xiao family who was disrespectful and disrespectful in person! Fellow Daoist Xiao, don't worry. The Xiao Family Chamber of Commerce has contributed a lot to the prosperity of our Dao Sect capital today! In the future, Qin will have to rely on fellow Daoist Xiao's support when he is in charge of the Immortal City. That’s it!”
When Xiao Bufan heard this, he immediately smiled elegantly and said in an extremely humble manner:
"The words of the city lord are serious. We, the Xiao Chamber of Commerce, can establish a foothold in the fairy city only because of the care of the city lords of the Dao Sect. How can we dare to claim credit?"
"How about this? City Lord Qin takes office and is tired from the journey. How about Xiao Xiao being the host tonight and hosting a big banquet in Juxian Tower to take care of the city Lord?"
As soon as this statement came out, it was immediately echoed by everyone present.
Seeing this situation, Qin Tian could not help but flash a glimmer of light in the depths of his eyes, and then he showed some hesitation and seemed to politely refuse:
"Isn't there something wrong with this move? Qin has just arrived and is not familiar with the affairs of the fairy city. How can he indulge in pleasure?"
After hearing this, Xiao Bufan smiled slightly and said thoughtfully:
"Hey~! What the city lord said is wrong. Why should we rush things in this fairy city? Besides, there are two deputy city lords watching, what kind of trouble can happen?
Mr. Xiao is not very talented. He has collected several rare treasures recently. However, my vision is really limited and I cannot tell the specific origin of the treasures. Why not ask the Lord of the City to help me palm the eyes? "
As soon as he finished speaking, the representatives of the major chambers of commerce in the field also reacted and rushed to speak one by one:
"That's right! Our Wang's Alchemy House has also recently obtained several rare elixirs, and we asked the city lord to help with some research!"
"What a coincidence! Our Li Chamber of Commerce has recently obtained several pieces of high-quality spiritual materials, but we can't see the specific attributes. Could you please help me identify them, City Lord!"
"To be honest, our Shuangxian Pavilion has recently received a few new high-quality cauldrons. However, their personalities are too strong and they are still virgins. I would like to ask the Lord of the City to train them on my behalf!"
"That's right, and I, the Immortal Talisman Pavilion, have accidentally obtained a few rare talismans recently, but I can't see the specific effects. I hope the Lord of the City can help review them!"
"Also, I, Shen Weapang, picked up a few good magic weapons on the roadside a few days ago, but the owner has never been found, so I can only send them to the city lord's mansion for safekeeping...! "
.....................
For a time, the atmosphere in the venue was high, and many chamber of commerce representatives were very "enthusiastic".
Seeing this scene, Qin Tian's eyes flickered, and a trace of greed appeared on his face at the right time, and then he said with a smile:
"Ahem~! Since all fellow Taoists are so enthusiastic, it would be too disrespectful for Mr. Qin to refuse again!"
As he spoke, Qin Tian had an uncontrollable smile on his face, looking like a snobbish, greedy and lustful person.
When Xiao Bufan saw this, a hint of sarcasm flashed deep in his eyes, but on the surface he still had that compliment, and he announced loudly and seemingly boldly:
"Thanks to the Lord of the City for your honor, all Taoist friends, please remember to come and support us. We will gather at the Immortal Tower to discuss Tao tonight. We must not get drunk or return home!"
As soon as he finished speaking, there was another echo in the venue, and the atmosphere became more and more harmonious.
............................
In the following time, after continuing to hold back and forth, Qin Tian and the others were able to escape. Under the leadership of the garrison commander, they headed towards the city lord's palace in the inner city area.
The many chamber of commerce representatives gathered at the city gate began to disperse gradually, and the originally noisy scene returned to calm.
Just looking at Qin Tian's retreating back, the two deputy city lords stopped where they were, and their expressions gradually changed, returning to that cold look.
After a while, the Mangshan ghost from Huangquan Mountain was the first to speak uncontrollably:
"Are you sure? Is he really the boy from before?"
Hearing this, Venerable Nanli of the Bixiao Sword Sect suddenly showed strong murderous intent on his face, and said in a rather cold tone:
"There is absolutely no mistake! He is the boy that Dao Zong took back! Unexpectedly, after so many years, this boy has actually reached the late stage of Jindan, and has been entrusted with important tasks by Dao Zong! This kind of cultivation speed is really not slow! "
After hearing this, the Mangshan ghost envoy's face gradually turned cold:
"This is interesting. There is a road to heaven but he will not take it. There is no door to hell. He comes here on his own initiative! In order to find this boy, your sect and I, Huangquan Mountain, lost a lot of elites. This account must be settled carefully. !”
After hearing this, Venerable Nanli's face became even more murderous, and his eyes became extremely sharp:
"Zhenren Ziyin, the Supreme Elder of our sect, has long given an order. Anyone who kills this beast will be rewarded with five million spiritual stones, a top-grade magic weapon, and can even be promoted to the position of deputy sect leader! No matter what, this time, this person must be rewarded. The boy can’t leave the fairy city!”
When the Mangshan ghost messenger opposite heard this, he sneered sinisterly and said with deep meaning in his tone:
"Fellow Taoist Nanli, please be patient. Now that this kid has come to our door, is it possible that he can turn the world upside down? We just need to act according to the plan... !”
.............................
As night falls, the entire Fengming Fairy City remains prosperous.
Although there is a forbidden air formation, and monks below the Nascent Soul stage are not allowed to fly in the air, the lights are brightly lit everywhere in the city, and the streets are full of people. Compared with the bustling scene during the day, there is nothing like this. Not at all weakened.
In the central area of the inner city, there is a large and elegantly decorated mansion, which is the palace of the city lord of Fengming Fairy City.
Inside the mansion, there are small bridges and flowing water, green tiles and red eaves, and stacks of pavilions in an orderly manner. They are also decorated with various exotic flowers and grasses. Pavilions and pavilions are looming among the trees, silk and bamboo.
Its environment is quiet yet elegant, and its decoration is luxurious yet elegant. It really shows the appearance of the Lord of the Fairy City to its fullest.
At this moment, in the meeting hall of the city lord's palace, Qin Tian, who had put on a gorgeous robe, was sitting on the main seat calmly, sipping fragrant tea leisurely.
It is easy to see from the happy look on his face that he seems to enjoy this high and powerful feeling very much.
As for Long Aotian and Qi Mo, they were sitting on both sides without squinting. Those who didn't know thought they were two door gods.
Not far below, the unsmiling garrison commander took a slight step forward and said with neither humility nor arrogance:
"I met the Lord of the City in the Xia Xingtang, Yan Shoucheng! My subordinate is currently serving as the commander of the Immortal City. He is mainly responsible for maintaining the safety and order in the city. If necessary in the future, just give me the Lord's orders!"
After hearing this, Qin Tian couldn't help but raise his head slightly and said with a kind face:
"Oh~! It turns out to be Commander Yan. Senior brother is guarding the Immortal City for our Dao Sect. He is a man of great merit and hard work. Why should he be so polite!"
Yan Shoucheng below heard the words, but still looked upright and said:
"The city lord has given you the reward. It is my duty to serve the sect. I don't dare to claim credit!"
Seeing this situation, Qin Tian nodded with satisfaction and said in a seemingly praising tone:
"Yes, having loyal people like Senior Brother is really a blessing to our Dao Sect!"
However, when he said this, Qin Tian paused slightly, and then suddenly changed the subject and continued:
"However, Qin has some doubts in his heart, and I hope that Senior Brother Yan can clear up the confusion! Since Senior Brother is the commander of the Immortal City, I wonder where Senior Brother was when the previous City Lord was assassinated?"
