Li Chengfeng's words shocked Zhang Jinbao, who shook his hands. "No, no, if the Martial Uncles find out, our lives will be in danger!"
Li Chengfeng smiled. "I'm just joking, Senior Brother, don't worry. If someone really dies and you're implicated, that wouldn't be good."
Zhang Jinbao heaved a sigh of relief. "Don't worry, Junior Brother. The forbidden area triggered a trap, I'll be there soon. This kid will suffer for a few days at most before he's released."
Li Chengfeng thought to himself, 'It's even better if he can't be released.'
Li Chengfeng wanted to check the forbidden area but he did not know where it was. If he asked Zhang Jinbao, he would not tell him and it would arouse suspicion, so he gave up on the idea.
When night fell, Li Chengfeng arrived at the banquet on time. He already felt a little regretful: he was still young and rash.
However, he had to continue acting tough no matter what.
Plus, to Li Chengfeng, this was not all for naught.
That night, Li Chengfeng had planned to go alone. However, the moment he stepped out of the door, he saw Yuehan dressed up nicely. She grinned and said, "I'll go with you, Young Master."
Li Chengfeng smacked her head with a smile. "You're going for free food, right?
You must have heard what we said, right? "
Yuehan giggled and rubbed her forehead, wrinkling her nose at Li Chengfeng. She thought to herself, 'I don't want to go but if I don't, who knows what those b * tches will do to you!'
Li Chengfeng brought Yuehan through Hidden Brocade Court's long corridors. As he walked, he looked at the scenery around him and sighed.
Standing at the entrance of the Jinxiu Palace, Li Chengfeng gazed into the distance and saw a brilliant galaxy. In the distance were Tau Ceti and Luo Qiong, with Tau Ceti in front and Luo Qiong behind. These two planets were so huge that Li Chengfeng was shocked when he first arrived in this world. They looked extremely close to this world and were at least twenty times bigger than a normal sun. He could even see the densely packed craters on them with the naked eye. Each crater was the size of a copper coin, while the bigger ones were the size of an orange.
Legend had it that this was a remnant of an ancient battle between gods. It was a legendary battle much older than the one between Luo Jiuchong and Sun Heluo. Li Chengfeng sometimes wondered, what kind of battle could cause such terrifying destruction?
Under these two gigantic moons, the beautiful buildings were hidden in the darkness of the night. The colorful flowing lights brought by the magic formation were like rivers flowing slowly between the starry sky and the ground. Waves of ripples twisted into all kinds of beautiful and mysterious patterns, sometimes beautiful, sometimes breathtaking.
"This place is great but we can't stay for long …" Li Chengfeng suddenly sighed.
Yuehan could not understand his sudden sigh. "Young Master, what do you mean?"
He shook his head. "I'm too naive …"
She was even more confused. "You'll know when we get to the banquet. I hope I'm wrong."
Great Qi had been at peace for a long time. Luxury had spread to every corner of the country, especially banquets.
The people of Qi were very lively, often hosting banquets in the name of poetry, wine or tea parties.
Hidden Brocade Court's banquets were especially extravagant. Li Chengfeng could hear music from afar. Huangfu Song's front hall was brightly lit, a servant waiting at the door, respectfully inviting every guest in.
The first thing he saw when he walked in was a large banquet hall that could fit a thousand people. There were forty to fifty long tables in the hall, with two praying mats in front of each table for people to kneel on.
There were ten meat dishes and five vegetable dishes on the long tables. Even so, there were still people serving the banquet.
Li Chengfeng was invited to the seat on the right side of the hall. Yuehan was brought to the back row, where the servants sat.
The hall was filled with guests. One senior brother and sister after another came up to chat with Li Chengfeng. However, the more people came, the more Li Chengfeng's heart sank. The Zhan family's power had completely exceeded his imagination.
To him, even if he entered Hidden Brocade Court with Zhan Qisheng, he would still have room to hide. However, now that he entered, he realised that these senior brothers were here to suck up to Zhan Qisheng, who had just entered the sect. How was he going to survive in Hidden Brocade Court in the future?
Even if Zhan Qisheng did not come looking for trouble every day, if these senior brothers and sisters came looking for trouble every time, he would never be able to cultivate again!
What should he do?
Li Chengfeng quickly thought of a way to deal with this. At this moment, Huangfu Song came up with a wine glass to toast Li Chengfeng, introducing him to his seniors from Hidden Brocade Court and Hidden Beauty Court.
Hidden Modesty Court cultivators would never come. Hidden Brocade Court looked down on Hidden Modesty Court's country bumpkins, just like how Hidden Modesty Court looked down on rich second generations like them.
Li Chengfeng politely greeted them, quickly thinking of a way to deal with this. When he saw Ji Chunhua, an idea came to him. He smiled. "Senior Sister Ji, you're so glamorous now."
Ji Chunhua smiled like a blooming flower, covering her mouth. "They say the Zhan family disciples are arrogant and difficult to get along with, but I think that's just a rumour.
Junior Brother Zhan, you're such a smooth talker, looks like you know how to please girls. "
Li Chengfeng smiled. "I'm just telling the truth."
Ji Chunhua giggled. Although the cultivator robe she passed down was the uniform of Hidden Beauty Court, it had been meticulously modified by her. The collar was wide open, revealing her snow-white breasts. Her shoulders were even more exposed, and her creamy, fragrant body was very alluring. As she giggled, her towering breasts jiggled, making Huangfu Song very uncomfortable.
Huangfu Song quickly said, "Junior Brother, have you forgotten about Senior Sister Gu and Senior Sister Feng?
You can't be biased! "
Li Chengfeng quickly bowed to Gu Yuelian and Feng Wenjuan, who were also dressed to the nines. With a few words, they brightened up and smiled brightly.
After a round of drinks, even though Li Chengfeng could hold his liquor well, his head was starting to heat up. He looked around and realised that the people Huangfu Song had invited were all people he was close to. Most of them were sons of court officials, or at the very least, descendants of local officials. For example, Feng Wenjuan and Gu Yuelian were the third daughters of the Yuan 'an Prefecture Chief, while the other was the youngest daughter of the Suiyuan Sect's garrison general.
Where there were people, there would be a martial world. Where there was a martial world, there would be gangs. Where there were gangs, there would be power divisions and social circles.
This social circle was one of the most powerful in Hidden Brocade Court. They were all descendants of high ranking officials. Rich merchants and those who were not high ranking officials were all excluded.
Li Chengfeng saw that the atmosphere was getting heated and asked mysteriously, "Speaking of which, I'm new here and I'm not familiar with this place.
I want to do business but I don't know where to start. "
Huangfu Song and the rest were shocked. The Zhan family knew how to do business?
Didn't the Zhan family only know how to fight and kill?
Ji Chunhua looked puzzled. "Junior Brother, you don't want to cultivate but want to do business? What kind of logic is that?"
Li Chengfeng sighed. "You guys don't know this but I'm the fourth in my family and the most useless one. This time, I'm determined to do something that will impress my parents.
But … it's good to stay at home but hard to go out!
Although the Zhan family is powerful, this is Spiritual Mountain. We're thousands of miles away from home. "
Huangfu Song asked suspiciously, "Junior Brother … are you short of money?"
This sentence caused everyone to look at him strangely. The Zhan Clan's disciples were short of money?
That would be the greatest joke in the world.
Li Chengfeng smiled. "You must be joking. I was just wondering if the Martial Uncles of the Spiritual Mountain Sect would mind outsiders doing business here?"
Ji Chunhua smiled and said, "Junior Brother, who here is a local born and raised here?
Our Spiritual Mountain Sect disciples come from all over the world. Since we're here, we're all from the same sect. "
Huangfu Song seemed to understand and asked tentatively, "Junior Brother, you mean the Zhan family wants to expand their business to the Spiritual Mountain Sect?"
Li Chengfeng clapped. "That's right!
Senior Brother Huangfu is the smartest!
Just a hint! "
Gu Yuelian was a straightforward person. "But the Spiritual Mountain Sect has always been self-sufficient."
Li Chengfeng smiled. "Don't tell me all of you are self-sufficient too?"
This sentence silenced everyone. Of course, these were not enough. No cultivator would complain about having too many Dharma treasures. Ji Chunhua lowered her voice and said, "What Dharma treasures can the Zhan family offer in exchange?"
Every cultivation sect or powerful family would have their own magical weapon. The four courts of the Spiritual Mountain Sect had their own magical weapons, each of which had earth-shattering power. However, these magical weapons were priceless and no one would sell them. Some of the magical weapons that were circulated in small groups or were standard equipment had the unique characteristics and characteristics of each sect. They were the objects that cultivators fought over.
Among them, the Zhan Family's Quicksand Armor and Blood Blade were the most famous treasures in the world. The Quicksand Armor was the dream of every cultivator. It didn't have amazing magic power or defense, but it had a unique property: Defense Stacking.
Cultivators could only wear one magical armour. If they wore another, the magical armour would clash and cause great damage to the wearer.
However, the Quicksand Armor wouldn't. It wouldn't repel almost any magical armor in the world, and it could create the effect of stacking the armor's defense on top of it.
On the other hand, Blood Blade was not a magic tool or a magic treasure. However, it was even more popular because it was a whetstone, a one-time-use whetstone. It could be smeared on a magic tool before a battle, causing the sharpness of the magic tool to increase by several times.
If these two unique treasures of the Zhan family could be circulated to Spiritual Mountain and only the few of them had them, then they would be rich!
Even if he couldn't use them all, he could use them to trade with other Senior Brothers and exchange them for magic tools and magic treasures that they wanted to buy but couldn't buy with money.
At this thought, Huangfu Song and the rest's breathing quickened. Their eyes widened and their cheeks flushed as they stared at Li Chengfeng.
Li Chengfeng was not an experienced cultivator, how would he know what treasures the Zhan family had? He avoided the question and smiled. "Whatever you want and can afford, I can give it to you."
Huangfu Song's voice trembled. "Junior Brother, are you serious?!"
A few of them whispered to each other, afraid that others would overhear them. Their eyes shone brightly. They no longer looked at Li Chengfeng as a junior brother with potential, but as … a strong, powerful backer.
They all had the same thought in their minds: Junior Brother, no, Dad … does he still need leg hair? The kind that doesn't care about position?
