C8 City Lord's Feast
Everyone was waiting for the wrath of the Mu Family, for the revenge of the Mu Family.
But strangely, after twenty days had passed, the Mu Mansion had still not moved at all. Everything seemed as usual, as if nothing had happened.
Mu Tian and Mu Wu were both cultivators. Although they were heavily injured, their recovery was much faster than the average person. At this time, Mu Tian was already fine. He took a few sets of Mu Mansion cultivation techniques and hid in his room to study them.
The assassination had a huge impact on Mu Tian. If it wasn't for Mu Chengyin's follower saving him, and if it wasn't for Mu Wu's protection, he would have become an ice-cold corpse long ago. As a result, he had not fully recovered yet. He had only asked for a few cultivation techniques in order to have the ability to protect himself in the future. Of course, there were also the clan elders and stewards who took turns teaching Mu Tian how to cultivate his Mu Family, as well as how to recognize and guard against people in order to prevent such incidents from happening again. If it were in the past, Mu Tian would have long since had his left ear entering his right ear. This time, he had experienced it personally and almost lost his life.
Mu Wu's cultivation level was much better than Mu Tian's. Although his injuries were also heavier than Mu Tian's, after recuperating for twenty days, he was still able to walk around within the Mu Mansion.
Just as Mu Tian was thinking about cultivation technique, a manager of the Mu Mansion sent him an invitation card. Mu Tian opened it and saw that it was the daughter of City Lord's Mansion, Liu Chengyun, who turned fifteen in three days. Lord Mayor was holding a coming of age ceremony for her, and invited the famous people of Dragon City to watch. In the past, this kind of thing would not have given Mu Tian an invitation. Lord Mayor will give the four families an unknown invitation, Mu Tian will at most get one like this. Now it was different. Sixteen years old Second Grade Pill Master had a far-reaching impact. Who would not wish to establish a good relationship with the future third or fourth rank pill refiners! Lunar New Year's March 3 is the previous festival, or Women's Day. Currently, only Japan and South Korea are popular.
Mu Tian took the invitation to the yard on the side. Originally, Mu Tian did not live in the Mu Mansion. Mu Tian was originally an apprentice in the Mu Mansion's alchemy pharmacy, but after he became a Tier 1 pill refiner, he lived alone in the ancestral house outside. After the assassination, the people from the Mu Family were worried about his safety, so they gave him a small courtyard.
The courtyard next to Mu Tian was Mu Wen's residence. The Mu Family s had specially arranged for Mu Wen and Mu Wu to protect Mu Tian to prevent any accidents. Now that Mu Wu was recuperating, Mu Wen protected Mu Tian alone. Although they were currently in the mansion, they were arranged to live next to each other, making it easier for them to communicate with each other.
"Brother Wen, take a look!" Mu Tian handed the invitation to Mu Wen.
Mu Wen took it and looked at it carefully. He smiled and said, "This is a good thing! "You still have a long road ahead of you in the path of pills. In the future, you will only be socializing with these big shots. Today, you will learn how to interact with these people."
"Brother Wen, actually …" Mu Tian hesitated for a moment before saying, "Actually, I prefer to be with Brother Mu Feng and the others!"
Mu Wen laughed, "Mu Feng is not bad, and his aptitude is good too. It's just that Mu Feng is spoiled and a little too lazy. If you stay with them all day, the progress of the cultivation level will be slow and you will waste your talent for nothing. "The expectations of the clan members for you are extremely high, and they even put you in their midst. They all hope that you can become a third or fourth rank master as soon as possible. At that time, the clan will truly rise in power."
"Focus on nurturing?" Mu Tian said in confusion, "I don't feel anything special either! Would living in the Mu Mansion count? Brother Wu and I were injured and nearly lost our lives. His voice rose a few degrees.
Mu Wen laughed and scolded, "So you are angry! Don't worry, our Mu Family blood will not flow in vain! Sooner or later, the clan will take them back. "
Mu Tian said, "I can use my mouth, too!" I know that someone will have other ideas, but I have no choice, Chinese is too mysterious.)
Mu Wen said, "Remember this: what you don't see may not be done. What you do see may not actually be done!"
Mu Tian frowned, "Brother Wen, what are you talking about? Why can't I understand it! "
Mu Wen said: "You just need to remember, the blood that flows from the Mu Family will not be lost in vain!"
"Alright!" Mu Tian said in a low voice.
Seeing that Mu Tian was not in a good mood, Mu Wen laughed and scolded, "You really don't know when you're lucky! You don't know yet, do you? Great Elder had already used his Tianbao Hall to purchase the Fire Seed for you! "
"What!" Mu Tian jumped up and said loudly, "Brother Wen, are you joking with me? How expensive is the spark! "
Mu Wen laughed. "Teasing you? I really don't have that kind of thought! If you don't believe me, you can ask the Tianbao Hall Administer! "
Mu Tian paced back and forth in the room excitedly. He was very clear on the importance of fire to a pill refiner.
"How is it? Is this considered a key training method?" he asked.
"Yes!" Forget it! " Mu Tian replied excitedly.
Mu Wen continued to speak: "But you also know, fires are rare, they are expensive. Although there is Tianbao Hall to help, it is not something that can be done in just a few days, you have to be patient and wait!"
"I understand! I understand! " Since the Tianbao Hall had already been purchased, there was a limit to how long he could wait. There was hope for the long-awaited Fire Elemental, why would Mu Tian care about waiting for a few days? The dissatisfaction he had with Mu Family in his heart disappeared, and was instead filled with gratitude.
"Alright!" Go back and prepare! At night, let's go to City Lord's Mansion together! "
"Alright!" Mu Tian answered happily and ran out.
The grand feast of City Lord's Mansion wasn't something that just anyone could attend. Being able to attend Miss Chengyun's coming of age ceremony was naturally an honor. More importantly, what if they met him or her at the banquet?
For most men, Miss Chengyun didn't even dare to dream about it. But then again, who knew what Miss Chengyun liked! If he was chosen by the Miss, it would be like stepping into the sky! Taking a step back, if the young miss of a large family caught sight of him, he would be able to rise to greatness.
To girls, other than the young miss, there was also a young master in the City Lord's Mansion. I heard that the young city lord is also a talented person, and his cultivation level is exceptional. If he was lucky enough to enter the young city lord's eyes, not only would he have a trust in his own life, his family would also benefit. At the same time, if one were to take a step back, even if the Four Great Clans' young masters had set their sights on them, it would be like flying up a branch and turning into a phoenix.
Therefore, the young boys and girls participating in the banquet all came dressed up. The girls were like flowers, and the boys were all handsome and delicate. Only Mu Tian was an exception, he was wearing his usual clothes. He was scolded by Wu Tie several times along the way. Although Mu Tian had already experienced the trials of wind and moon, he didn't realize that he had reached the age to get married. He only came to the banquet because of Mu Wen's knowledge and also because he could gather with his brothers.
City Lord's Mansion were naturally safe, there were not many people who dared to cause trouble in the Dragon City. That was not only to provoke City Lord's Mansion, it was also to provoke the dignity of the Imperial Family. Therefore, Mu Wen did not follow Mu Tian closely. He just watched from a distance so that Mu Tian would remain in his line of sight.
"Brother Tian, how are your injuries?" Zhang Ying asked.
"I'm fine!" Mu Tian replied, "See, I'm fine now!"
Mu Feng said, "Tian, you don't know. That day when we heard the news, we were all frightened. I asked to see you, but the elders said you had to take care of yourself and didn't let us go!"
"Brother Tian, I'm not talking about you. Why are you here in this outfit?" Loong Yu asked, "Don't you know what day it is today? Look at how people wear it! "
"What happened to my clothes? It was pretty good! It was only done two months ago! " Mu Tian said, "Isn't today the City Lord Miss's coming of age ceremony? I know! "
Danshui, "I knew you would wear something like this! To think that you were even a Second Grade Pill Master cultivator! Don't you know the true meaning of this coming of age ceremony? "
"True meaning?" Mu Tian was puzzled, "Brother Wen said that he wants me to have a look. He said that I have to interact more with these adults, what else could it mean?"
Loong Yu said anxiously, "You idiot. Today, not only is it Miss Chengyun's coming of age ceremony, there's also the possibility of you choosing a son-in-law for Miss Chengyun!"
"Forget it!" Forget it! " Zhang Ying said, "I heard that Miss Chengyun has very high standards. No matter how well-dressed we are, it won't be a big deal!"
Dan Liu said, "I know of a good thing, are you interested?"
"If you have something to say, hurry up and say it. If you have to fart, quickly say it!" The others said in unison.
"Spiritual Food!" Dan Water smiled and said, "Have you heard, it's extremely precious. After eating it, not only will it improve your physique, it will also increase the cultivation level!"
"I know that!" Mu Feng said: "But Spiritual Food are rare, do you know where they are?"
"Of course!" Danshui said, "Ah, City Lord's Mansion! And it was Lord Mayor who asked my grandfather to buy it! "
Loong Yu rolled his eyes: "You mean, we should go have a taste?"
Dan Shui asked, "How is it? Do you want to go or not?"
"Not so good!" Mu Tian said worriedly: "This is City Lord's Mansion after all, and the Patriarchs of all the large families are also here!"
Mu Feng said, "It's indeed a bit troublesome, but the food is good right now!" After which, he said with a conflicted expression.
Zhang Ying was also worried, "What if we are caught and it's a good beating when we get home?"
Dan Shui curled his lips. He was also worried about this, so he decided to pull everyone else along. Otherwise, he would have already run away.
While the few of them were in a dilemma, a few people walked over from afar. The one leading them was City Lord Liu Chengri.
Under Mu Feng's instructions, the few of them hastily stopped talking and saluted together: "Greetings, Young City Lord!"
"Quickly, dispense with the formalities!" Liu Chengri walked a few steps forward and supported the leading Mu Feng, "I am about the same age, there is no need to bow! It doesn't matter if you grow up a few years, if everyone doesn't mind, just call me Big Brother! "
When these words were spoken, everyone was shocked! Who is Liu Chengri? Dragon City's Young City Lord! If nothing unexpected happened, he would be the future City Lord of Dragon City. Liu Chengri's words and actions did not only represent himself. In a sense, Liu Chengri's attitude was City Lord's Mansion's attitude. But now, the young city lord of Dragon City had actually taken the initiative to address Mu Feng and the others as brothers. Several people's eyes lit up as they quickly left. They wanted to spread the news to the clan.
"Young Master must be joking!" Mu Feng answered hastily. He wasn't sure if Liu Chengri was joking, "How dare we!"
Dan Liu thought to herself, "Don't tell me I was discovered before I even made a move …"
Liu Chengri said seriously, "I'm not joking. I'm serious!" His gaze swept across the faces of these people. He recognized all of them, but Mu Tian was unfamiliar with them.
He then walked up to Mu Tian and asked, "This must be the young genius who has made a name for himself in the Dragon City recently, Master Mu Tian, right?"
Mu Tian was surprised for a moment, he did not expect the young city lord to take the initiative to talk to him, so he quickly bowed and replied: "Young city lord is too kind, I do not dare to be called a master, much less a master. Young city lord can just call me Mu Tian!"
Liu Chengri laughed, "Alright! If I don't call you Master, you don't have to call me Young City Lord. If you don't mind, you can just call me Big Brother! "
This was the second time Liu Chengri mentioned someone as a brother. Everyone immediately understood that this young city lord was serious!
Mu Tian was at a loss of what to do. He looked towards Mu Feng and saw the latter slightly nodding his head. He bowed and said, "Brother, I, Mu Tian, am very courteous!"
"Good!" Good! "Alright!" Liu Chengri laughed out loud and handed Mu Tian a jade bottle. "Brother, you have just broken through to rank 2 Martial Master. There is a Grade 2 or 8 Energy Opening Pill in here. You can use it as your greeting gift!"
As the name implies, the Natal Opening Pill can open up a cultivator's dantian." A Grade Two Natal Opening Pill corresponded to a Grade Two Martial Disciple, the Innate Martial Master. A normal Rank 2 Spirit Pill could expand a Martial Master cultivator's Dantian by one tenth. If it was a Rank 2 or 8 pill, it could expand the Dantian by one fifth. Although Mu Tian was now a Second Grade Pill Master, it did not mean that he could refine second-grade pellets. The key to refining a second-grade pellet was not hard to gather, the recipes, techniques to refine pellets, and the control of fire. Also, for a pellet like this, there was a need for Pill Fire in order to refine it.
Before Mu Tian could open his mouth, Danshui, who was beside him, said, "If I call you brother, then shouldn't you give me a present as well?"
Liu Chengri laughed and scolded, "You crafty kid, you already gave me your gift a few years ago, do you want a double share? That's impossible! "
While Mu Tian was in a difficult situation, Mu Wen saw the situation over here from a distance and walked over. Mu Feng took advantage of Liu Chengri and Dan Liu's laughter to brief Liu Tie by his ear.
Mu Wen smiled and nodded at Mu Tian.
Mu Tian then bowed to Liu Chengri and said, "I wouldn't dare to accept such a great gift, but since Big Brother gave it to me, I will accept it without any shame!"
Liu Chengri laughed and said, "You and I are brothers, so there is no need to be polite. Today is a good day! My little sister's coming of age ceremony, and I have taken another brother. Go! We'll drink together! "
