Practice begins with immortality

Chapter 307 Attending the Banquet

Half a month later, in the Tian'a universe, in the Tianqing Water Realm.

This is the land of Xuanqing Dragon Palace. The "Xuan" in its name represents the renowned Black Dragon King. The "Qing" in its name naturally refers to this clear, aquatic realm. The concise name aptly captures the Dragon King's straightforward personality.

The so-called Heavenly Pure Water Realm is more like a vast ocean than a world. Dragons are the kings of the sea, possessing an innate affinity and fondness for water. Therefore, this Heavenly Pure Water Realm was specially transformed by the Dragon King. Within this vast waters, a vast variety of aquatic creatures live, all of them vassals of the dragon clan.

At this moment, at the entrance to a certain realm within the Tianqing Water Realm, two middle-aged men stood. One wore an ice-blue swordsman's robe, his posture as straight as a pine tree, and he exuded a sharp sword aura. The other, a slightly portly figure, dressed like a wealthy businessman, yet his every move revealed a calm and dignified demeanor.

The two of them waited quietly for quite a while. Finally, a figure appeared on the distant horizon. As time passed, the figure gradually became clearer. It turned out to be an old man with white hair and beard, slowly walking towards them.

After the old man came closer, the man in the ice-blue sword suit immediately greeted him through voice transmission: "Fellow Immortal Leng is indeed a trustworthy person. We are extremely happy that you can keep the appointment as scheduled today!" This person was Sa Yuanqian.

Hearing Sa Yuanqian's words, Wang Bai smiled slightly and replied in the same voice transmission: "Since Immortal Friend Yuanqian has invited me so warmly, how could I not come?"

Then, Wang Bai turned his gaze to the middle-aged man standing next to Sa Yuanqian and asked, "I wonder who this immortal friend is? Please, Yuanqian, introduce him to me."

"No need to bother you, Immortal Yuan Qian. My name is Zhu Fufu, and I am the leader of the Jinfu Merchant Alliance."

The man smiled and introduced himself: "Although I have a big name, I am just a small businessman. I am not as good as you two."

"Friend Zhu is too modest."

............

After a round of mutual compliments, Sa Yuanqian said seriously: "Gentlemen, I have already explained the reason for this matter in the letter. I wonder if you two..."

"Very good, very good." Zhu Fufu said very generously, "It's just some personal belongings. Friend Yuan Qian, you've helped me a lot over the years. This is just a small gift. It's nothing more than a small favor."

"It just so happens that I also want to build a good relationship with the Dragon Palace, but I just don't have the means. Fellow Immortal Yuan Qian, you have helped me."

"This time, I brought five million taels of immortal stones and five million taels of gold as gifts. In addition—"

He paused, then said mysteriously, "I heard that when the Dragon Prince ascended, his life weapon was damaged. I have a few ounces of Yuanling Immortal Gold, which is just enough to help him rebuild his life weapon."

As he spoke, he took out a piece of green metal the size of a grain of sand. This was Yuanling Immortal Gold.

Seeing this, Sa Yuanqian was shocked. "It's actually Yuanling Immortal Gold! If this kind of treasure is refined into an artifact, it will not only greatly improve its quality, but also increase its spirituality, and even give the artifact its own intelligence!"

"It seems that Immortal Zhu has extraordinary luck!"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Fufu said with a smile, "It was just an accidental discovery. Fellow Daoist Yuan Qian, you are quite knowledgeable!" He then turned his gaze towards Yuan Qian and the other person and asked, "By the way, I wonder what kind of precious gifts you two have carefully prepared this time?"

Sa Yuanqian hesitated for a moment, then said embarrassedly, "As for me... I brought a cushion made of Wanzai Xuanbing Jade. Although it's not a rare treasure, it's the best thing I could find in a hurry." After saying that, he sighed softly, as if he was not particularly satisfied with the gift he prepared.

Zhu Fufu quickly waved his hand and said soothingly, "Fellow Immortal Yuan Qian, please don't be so self-deprecating! You should know that this Ten Thousand Years Black Ice Jade has the miraculous effect of calming the mind and spirit. Moreover, a Putuan made from such a large, intact piece of black ice is of great benefit to practitioners in their comprehension of cultivation techniques! Remember when our Chamber of Commerce was commissioned to auction a black ice bed? The final price was simply astronomical!"

However, Sa Yuanqian smiled bitterly and shook his head, responding, "Friend Zhu Xian, please stop comforting me. Compared to this little cushion of mine, that Xuanbing bed is a world apart. They are not even on the same level."

At this moment, Zhu Fufu seemed to suddenly remember something. He turned to look at Wang Bai, who had been silent, and asked curiously, "By the way, I haven't asked Immortal Friend Leng what kind of gift you prepared? Tell us quickly!"

Before he finished speaking, Zhu Fufu and Sa Yuanqian both turned their eyes towards Wang Bai with anticipation and curiosity.

"It's a secret. But please rest assured, the value is definitely not low. You will know it in due time."

"Since Immortal Fellow Leng is so confident, it must be a treasure of unparalleled value. In that case, the three of us can simply put the treasures together when the time comes. This will also leave a good impression on the host."

"Just to my liking."

"So good."

......................

Half an hour later, a huge blue vortex suddenly appeared in the vast universe, and a handsome young man with black hair, black clothes and unicorn horns walked out of it, and behind him followed teams of shrimp soldiers and crab generals.

"It's actually the Dragon Palace's consort, Shui Linlin." Seeing the newcomer, Zhu Fufu said in a surprised voice: "It's actually him who's here to receive the guests."

"It looks like there's an important person at this banquet!"

.........................

After a few polite words, Wang Bai and others also arrived at the Tianqing Water Realm.

As soon as they entered the water realm, the three of them felt a sense of comfort all over their bodies.

"The Water Realm is truly unique. Legend has it that the water of this realm is a unique spiritual water. It originates from the Celestial River, the home of the Dragon Clan in the Mountain and Sea Realm. Legend has it that the Celestial River is a treasure of the Dragon Clan, with many magical uses. It's said that even if a member of the Dragon Clan is beaten to the point of being reduced to a mere soul, a single walk through the Celestial River will instantly restore them to health."

"Of course, the water in the water realm is only weakened and diluted, but it is still very useful. If a mortal spirit can get it, it will not only have the therapeutic effect of whitening bones, but it will also greatly improve its cultivation. Even if it is a step to heaven, it is not impossible to transform from a mortal to an immortal."

Zhu Fufu said to Wang Bai and the others with an intoxicated look on his face. Such a luxurious arrangement would make even a business leader like him feel overwhelmed, but this was just something that could be seen everywhere in the Water Realm.
