It's getting late.
You Linzi, Li Huanzhen and others also came to Bai Yujing again under the leadership of the eunuchs.
The night banquet specially prepared for them has already begun.
Groups of eunuchs and palace maids came in one after another carrying delicious delicacies and placed them respectfully in front of them.
Several people also looked around with interest, but did not touch the food in front of them.
Ling Xuzi shook his head and said: "We monks, for us, ordinary things are nothing more than our desires."
"Even eating too much mundane food may damage your immortal body."
“It’s okay not to eat these foods~!”
The Four Ghosts of Shannan were a little nervous because they had ghosts in their hearts, and they looked around from time to time.
In the direction of Hehuan Sect, Master Li Huan did not take action, nor did the other three disciples.
Sit cross-legged quietly, close your eyes and relax.
Lin Feng was the only one who raised his head from time to time and looked towards the back hall, his eyes wide open.
As several people were talking, they saw several figures suddenly appear in the side hall, walking towards this side.
Looking subconsciously, it turned out to be Shi Xianggui and others.
"Old Shi!"
"Old Shi is out?"
"Have they successfully ignited their soul fire?"
I saw Shi Xianggui and the other four people walking towards this side with pale faces and a little hasty steps.
"Fellow Taoists~!"
Shi Xianggui cupped his hands and said: "I am a little weak in spirit, so I will not salute one by one."
“Easy to say, easy to say~”
Several people sat down, picked up the wine on the side and poured themselves a glass.
Master Li Huan opened his eyes at this time and asked: "Fellow Taoist Shi, what kind of person is that imperial concubine that your majesty mentioned...?"
"The imperial concubine?"
Shi Xianggui's heart suddenly jumped, and he thought of the peerless beauty and her warning not to tell anyone about herself. He could only say helplessly:
"The Imperial Concubine... is a Taoist companion of His Majesty, she is truly a heavenly being!"
He never thought that there would be a Foundation Establishment Stage monk hidden in Dayu Palace!
And... she is also a gorgeous beauty!
With his eyesight, he could tell that the imperial concubine was definitely not very old, at most only twenty years old.
At such an age, he has actually entered the foundation building stage, and it is terrifying to know how talented he is!
Moreover, His Majesty seems to be deliberately concealing this matter. No one outside the world knows that there is a foundation-building ancestor deep in the palace!
If word spreads, I don’t know how many monks’ eyes will be shocked.
He doesn't know how many hidden things there are in this palace that he doesn't know.
But for him, this is also good news.
After all, he had given his soul fire and was considered the core figure of the Great Yu Immortal Dynasty.
The stronger Dayu Immortal Dynasty's hidden strength is, the brighter the future for him and his grandson will be!
Thinking of this, I feel even more happy.
But Master Li Huan frowned slightly.
Taoist companion?
That is, the concubines in the harem.
Moreover, as a royal concubine, her qualifications and cultivation must be the first among many Taoist companions.
I don’t know how many Taoist companions Emperor Zhengyong had?
Just as I was thinking about it, I suddenly heard an exclamation.
"Senior Shi! These fruits are actually spiritual fruits!"
On the table nearby, Mu Xunshan grabbed a peach-like fruit in his hand and was stunned.
"What?"
Shi Xianggui was also startled and quickly looked at it carefully.
He was born in Ling Zhifu and was most familiar with spiritual rice and spiritual fruits.
He looked at it carefully, then took another bite and felt it carefully, his eyes became extremely excited.
"Spirit fruit! It is indeed a spirit fruit! And whether it is spiritual energy or water content, it far exceeds my purple spirit fruit!"
"Could it be said that there are other spiritual cultivators in the Great Yu Immortal Dynasty?"
"Hahaha...!"
Suddenly, a hearty voice sounded.
But he saw a burly figure striding over, followed by a woman wearing a Taoist robe.
Surprisingly it was Xiong Gang and Xuan Jizi.
Xiong Gang laughed and said: "This thing is just a wild spiritual fruit that grows on Tianshou Mountain. It is found all over the mountains and plains of Tianshou Mountain."
“If you fellow Taoists like it, I’ll send someone to you as a gift later!”
Everyone dared to say that Xiong Gang had the aura of the late stage of Qi training, and they all stood up and said: "I have seen senior/fellow Taoist!"
"Hahaha, no need to be polite!"
Xiong Gang strode forward, came to his own seat, sat down with a sword and a golden horse, and said casually: "You can all sit down, no need to be polite."
"I am the Ten Thousand Beasts Wujiang Sect, Xiong Gang."
"This one is fellow Taoist Xuanjizi. They are all members of the same Taoist group."
"Now that we have all surrendered to His Majesty's Great Yu Immortal Dynasty, we will all be our own people from now on, so we have to stay close to each other!"
Hearing this, the others quickly lowered their heads and looked at the things on their desks.
Especially Ling Xuzi and others also picked up a piece of fruit and started eating it.
"Hiss...it's indeed spiritual energy!"
"This fruit is a spiritual fruit! This wine actually has spiritual energy, a fruit brewed from spiritual fruit?"
"This meat..."
"Meat of the spirit beasts of the mountains."
"You don't know, there are more and more spiritual beasts on Tianshou Mountain, including rabbits, foxes, squirrels, wild boars, and even tigers and wild wolves."
"My Ten Thousand Beasts Sect is the best at controlling beasts. I don't know how many spiritual beasts I have kept in captivity, hahaha..."
With the addition of Xiong Gang, a self-study monk, more than ten monks in the entire hall quickly became friendly.
People were drinking and eating meat, and it was very lively.
However, the eunuchs and maids around the Shannan Four Ghosts kept coming in with fresh fruits to replace them.
I don't see how many people eat, and the spiritual fruits on the table are consumed quickly.
Faced with this situation, the four Shannan Four Ghosts still didn't care, and there was no trace of embarrassment on their faces.
From time to time, he would pick up the spirit fruit, pretend to eat it, and then throw it into the storage bag with his backhand.
However, they also noticed that there were several empty seats above Xiong Gang and Xuan Jizi.
Several people secretly guessed that maybe the empty seats were still waiting for others to take their seats.
Monk.
"Concubine Cui is here~!"
At this moment, a hoarse shout came.
But he saw a woman in brocade clothes walking in from the back hall, exuding faint spiritual energy fluctuations.
"Well, fellow Taoists, I, Cui Xiabing, am a fellow Taoist."
Qi training... later stage!
The faces of more than a dozen casual cultivators changed drastically, especially the four Shannan Four Ghosts. They stood up and said: "I have seen seniors/fellow Taoists!"
"Please~!"
Everyone sat down, still in shock, when another voice sounded.
"The Concubine Cicada has arrived~!"
Another concubine dressed in brocade clothes but with a plumper figure strolled out. After seeing Concubine Cui, she trotted a few steps and said with a smile: "I've met my sister!"
"Sister, long time no see. By the way, Your Majesty asked me to wait for a gathering here today in order to meet all of you comrades."
Yue Chan turned around, nodded to the dozen or so casual cultivators in the audience, and said, "I have met all of you colleagues."
In the audience, the Four Ghosts of Shannan, Zhenren Li Huan, Shi Xianggui and others were even more shocked.
Especially the four Shannan ghosts felt a little dizzy.
Late stage of Qi training!
Another late stage Qi practitioner!
“I’ve met senior/fellow Taoist!”
"The Jade Concubine is here~!"
Soon, Zhuang Yuheng, wearing a special Taoist robe and long skirt, walked slowly over, holding a whisk in his hand.
The whole person exudes a kind of calm and far-reaching temperament that is indifferent to fame and fortune. A group of people were almost numb.
Late stage of Qi training!
What the hell, it’s the late stage of Qi training again!
In a royal palace, not counting His Majesty, but even the concubines in the harem, there are three late-stage qi-training monks!
This...
It’s so scary!
“Concubine Jie is here~!”
"Concubine Concubine is here~!"
This time two shouts rang out in succession, and two almost identical women in green shirts came out.
Her bright eyes turned around in the hall, and she soon regained her composure, smiling as she greeted several concubines.
“I’ve met all of you sisters~!”
"My sister is well!"
The more than ten casual cultivators in the audience breathed a sigh of relief. The cultivation of these two Bingdilians was finally not so scary.
The middle stage of Qi training.
Not bad, not bad.
However, as a Bingdilian, he is also a monk in the middle stage of Qi training.
Under the influence of the mind, joining forces is enough to compete with the monks in the late stage of Qi training!
“The Queen Qing Fei has arrived~!”
"Empress Yinfei has arrived~!"
There were two more shouts, and then two more women, whose beauty was no less beautiful than the other concubines, walked in surrounded by the maids.
“I’ve met senior/fellow Taoist!”
Everyone saluted and felt a little reassured.
One is in the middle stage of Qi training and the other is in the early stage of Qi training. It's okay, okay.
"Everyone is safe!"
Among the girls, Concubine Cui, who has the highest cultivation status, took on the responsibility of presiding over and said to the many casual cultivators:
"Your Majesty is hosting a banquet today and has ordered me to accompany you, because you are all of the same ideals."
"The establishment of the Great Yu Immortal Dynasty requires the concerted efforts of all of you."
"Everyone, drink this cup to the full!"
"Thank you, senior~!"
More than a dozen casual cultivators, each with their own agenda, raised their wine glasses to signal.
The Four Ghosts of Shannan were shocked that there were three late-stage Qi-training monks because of the aftermath of the Great Yu.
But the eyes of Master Li Huan kept looking toward the back of the hall.
The imperial concubine who condensed the soul fire for Shi Xianggui and others... why is she missing?
As an imperial concubine, her status is higher than that of ordinary concubines.
Then her cultivation level must be higher than that of Concubine Cui in front of her.
Qi practice Dzogchen?
Or should we say...the foundation building period!
Thinking of this, Master Li Huan couldn't help but quicken his breathing.
Is it really the Qi training period?
Or...are you thinking too much?
As the concubines joined in, the originally noisy situation in the entire hall strangely calmed down.
However, as Master Li Huan and Cui Xiabing took the initiative to chat, the entire hall became lively again.
More than half an hour later, Chen Liancang's figure appeared on the steps.
"Your Majesty is here~!"
More than a dozen monks quickly stood up and looked forward.
Concubine Cui and several other concubines also stood up and bestowed blessings on them.
But he saw Emperor Zhengyong, who was wearing a bright yellow dragon robe, walking out slowly holding a girl's hand.
She is wearing a crimson palace dress, embroidered with gold and silver threads, with phoenixes flying on her shoulders, and tassels on her waist, which jingle as she steps.
The hair is tied up in a high bun with gold hairpins, and the jewels look a bit childish and delicate.
The eyes are like two clear springs, deep and agile, as if they can hear the whispers of the spring breeze.
The long eyelashes flutter like butterfly wings, adding a bit of mystery and temptation to the almond-shaped eyes.
The willow eyebrows are raised slightly, like the crescent moon in the mountains, outlining endless tenderness and grace.
As she walked, she gently raised her wrists with great grace.
The gold bracelet on Hao's wrist jingled softly, contrasting with the pearls on her earlobes, making her skin as delicate as gelatin.
She lightly opened her red lips, and her every frown and every smile was natural, like a refined elf, blooming with the brilliance of a girl in this deep palace hall.
This woman... is surprisingly Liu Yufei, who recognized Zheng Yi as her godfather during the day!
At this time, she had changed all her clothes.
The original turquoise dress was now replaced by a crimson palace dress, with phoenix and crane embroidered on it, a bright gold walking wave on her head, and gold powder dotted between her eyebrows, making her look extremely delicate and attractive.
During the day, Liu Yufei looked like a little elf from the deep mountains and forests, pure and flawless.
But now, she was like a princess dressed up under the stars, graceful and noble.
Concubine Cui and others were also a little surprised. They didn't expect His Majesty to be holding a little girl they had never seen before.
Who is this little girl?
Their new sister?
Or...
Zheng Yi smiled and said: "Dear concubines, this is my new goddaughter today, Princess Yufei, what do you think?"
Concubine Cui was the first to react and said with a smile: "She is indeed a girl that His Majesty values. She is indeed talented and beautiful."
Liu Yufei was also a little dazzled by the stunning beauties in front of her, but she still said bravely: "I have seen the imperial concubine~"
"No need to be polite."
Zheng Yi smiled and touched her head and said: "Go to your master. After today, follow me to practice in the palace."
"Yes, godfather~!"
Liu Yufei walked down quickly, and the baby bird rushed into the arms of Master Li Huan like a nest.
"Master~"
"Mayfair, where have you been today?"
"Master, my godfather took me to Yuhua Palace, and..."
Master Li Huan pulled Liu Yufei, and the two women sat together and whispered something.
As for Lin Feng, who was behind Li Huan, his eyes straightened after seeing Liu Yufei for the first time.
He never expected that Fei'er, who used to be dressed as an ordinary woman, would become so enchanting and alluring after changing into palace clothes.
This is the true appearance of the Hehuan Sect’s enchantress!
He wanted to talk to Fei'er, but Fei'er was pulled by her master and couldn't come back.
He was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot. He could only worry in his seat.
At this moment, Cui Xiabing, who was beside Zheng Yi, asked: "Your Majesty, where is sister Qingying? Isn't she released from seclusion?"
Zheng Yi shook his head and said: "Qingying Su likes to be quiet. I sent someone to call her, but she didn't come."
"But it's okay. I've shocked this group of casual cultivators enough today."
"If Qingying comes again, I'm really afraid of scaring them away."
Cui Xiabing covered her mouth and smiled sweetly: "Your Majesty, you are so evil!"
"And that little girl..."
Cui Xiabing glanced at His Royal Highnesses Liu Yufei and Li Huan, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, are you suitable to accept these little girls as your goddaughters? I'm afraid that's not all you have in mind."
"If word of this gets out, those old antiques in the court will have to speak out again."
Zheng Yi smiled and said: "I am my daughter, I am my daughter. What do I want to do, do I need other people's consent?"
"But don't look at this little girl because she is young and has many eyes."
"After all, I am from the Hehuan Sect, so I am not a fuel-efficient person."
"That's it..."
Cui Xiabing's eyes flashed and she suddenly said: "Your Majesty, I will give you an idea."
"How can a little girl escape from Your Majesty's Wuzhishan?"
"What's the idea?"
"You just have to wait and see~"
Cui Xiabing said with a smile, then looked in the direction of Liu Yufei and said: "Everyone, your majesty accepts Liu Yufei as your goddaughter, so she is also my daughter."
"This thing can be regarded as a greeting gift from me." (End of Chapter)
