Hunyuan Immortal Sect

Chapter 74: Pill Promotion
At noon, there was a loud bang, fireworks burst outside the hall, and salutes rang out.

There was a change of light and dark in the air, and then purple air rose, and auspicious colors appeared. Amidst the color changes, several huge fonts appeared, which read "Congratulations to Madam Wen on her 100th birthday."

Then the cranes began to dance, the monkeys offered fruits, and the birds sang in unison.

It lasted for a quarter of an hour, and with a burst of brilliant fireworks, the opening ceremony ended and the birthday banquet officially began.

One by one, beautiful and graceful women came into the hall, holding jade plates in their hands, and placed all kinds of delicacies and spiritual food and wine on the tables of everyone.

"Everyone," the Luoyun Sect elder who sat at the main seat stood up and said, "I, Pang Tong, am here to entertain all of you distinguished guests, following the orders of our sect's headmaster."

"Thank you all for taking the time out of your busy schedules to attend the wedding banquet for Master Wen, the wife of our sect's headmaster. Today is Master Wen's 100th birthday, and I hope you all enjoyed your visit and return with joy. Although our sect may be small, we never neglect our distinguished guests. As long as the fruits, vegetables, wine, and food are not finished today, please feel free to enjoy them."

"If there has been any neglect or inadequacy in our hospitality, please forgive us."

"I'll toast to everyone first."

After saying that, he drank the wine in the glass.

Everyone started eating and drinking. After a while, some disciples of Luoyun Sect squeezed into the hall and toasted them one by one.

Song Xian was eating delicious spiritual food and drinking fragrant spiritual wine. He was an insignificant person here, so naturally no one would come to toast him. Only the people on his left and right would occasionally clink glasses with him and say a few polite words.

Not to mention that Song Xian was enjoying himself here, in another hall, as soon as Feng Yan took her seat, several eyes turned over.

She changed into a new outfit and wore a purple-red robe. Before entering the hall, she secretly swallowed a Jade Fragrance Pill, and a strange and fragrant aroma immediately emanated from her body.

But unfortunately, her seat was too far back, and she had no chance to get close to the core figure in the front row of the hall. On her left was an old woman in her fifties, who had a calm expression. Although she could smell the fragrance emanating from her body, she remained calm.

There was an empty seat on the right, and no one had sat down yet. As for the others, they were too far away to smell the strange fragrance emanating from him, so naturally no one asked about it.

Since they were not familiar with each other, Feng Yan didn't dare to greet anyone and could only sit there seriously.

After a long while, a tall woman in her thirties with prominent cheekbones was led in and sat down on her right.

As soon as the woman sat down, she sniffed her nose calmly, then looked at Feng Yan, but just glanced at her without asking anything.

It was not until the banquet officially began and the women came in with jade plates in their hands that Feng Yan had the opportunity to leave her seat.

She pretended to toast, left her seat, stood up and walked straight forward along the row of seats on the right, trying to walk as slowly as possible so that the women sitting on the right could smell the rich fragrance emanating from her.

Sure enough, as this group walked past, many female cultivators present smelled the fragrance emanating from her and their eyes lit up, looking at her with surprise.

Feng Yan walked straight to the first seat, where sat a tall woman with a pair of phoenix eyes and a rosy face. She looked to be in her twenties and had reached the seventh level of Qi Refining.

There was a piece of white paper on the desk with the words "Xiao Ling" written on it.

"Friend Xiao, I am Feng Yan from the Hunyuan Sect. I would like to congratulate Senior Wen of your sect on his 100th birthday. I would like to offer this wine to you. May your sect enjoy this day every year." Feng Yan stood in front of her and raised her glass to congratulate her.

"Fellow Daoist Feng, thank you for taking the time to come and support us. On behalf of our sect, I would like to thank you." Xiao Ling also shared a glass of wine. "I have been in the mountain gate for a long time and have little information. I didn't even know the origins of the Hunyuan Sect. May I ask if your sect is also from our Bianxi City?"

"My clan migrated here from Pingyuan County not long ago and is currently stationed in Bianxia City."

"I see." Xiao Ling looked her up and down. "What a strange fragrance! I wonder where this fragrance comes from, young lady?"

Feng Yan was delighted to see that she had finally asked about this matter. She smiled slightly and replied, "This is the Jade Fragrance Pill that our sect has newly developed. Just swallow one pill and you will be filled with an extraordinary fragrance that will last for several days."

"Yuxiang Pill? I've never heard of it."

"This is a unique product of our sect, based on a century-old miracle medicine, infused with over a dozen other magical herbs. It took years of painstaking research and development, and was recently released. As soon as it went on sale, it was snapped up, and all the sisters who used it raved about it. Several sisters had been drifting apart from their husbands, but after using this Jade Fragrance Pill, their relationships have grown stronger. Their husbands, intoxicated by the fragrance emanating from their bodies, have been transported back to the days when they were just young couples. Don't you find it strange?"

"Oh? Really? That's rare." "How dare I lie to Fellow Daoist Xiao? If I don't mention anyone else, I'll just mention Fellow Daoist Yang Yude, the nephew of Senior Yang Jinzhang, the head of the Beastmaster Sect. Sister Xiao should know him!"

"Senior Yang and our sect leader are old friends. His nephew is well-known in Bianxi City. Why did you mention him?"

"A few days ago, this man brought a girl named Wang from the Beast Taming Sect to the Nanyuan Valley market in Bianxia Town. They stopped by my shop and, out of curiosity, bought a Jade Fragrance Pill. They praised it highly and bought another thirty that night, saying they would bring them back to the sect for their other sisters. A few days later, Fellow Daoist Yang Yude made a special trip from Bianxi City to Nanyuan Valley in Bianxia Town. Fearing that our sect's Jade Fragrance Pills were sold out, he spent over a thousand spirit stones and bought another hundred Jade Fragrance Pills from my shop. He practically bought out our entire stock in one fell swoop."

"Is this really true?" Xiao Ling said with a smile, "Fellow Daoist Yang is truly willing to spend a fortune just to win the smile of a beautiful woman! According to me, your sect's Jade Fragrance Pills actually cost ten spirit stones each."

Before she finished speaking, a woman at the second row of desks on the left spoke up, "Fellow Daoist Feng, is the girl surnamed Wang you were talking about Wang Qingyao from the Beast Taming Sect?"

Feng Yan turned her head and saw that the woman was in her early thirties. She was extremely charming and beautiful, with a well-proportioned figure. Her voice was soft and tender. The words "Zeng Rou" were written on a white paper in front of her desk.

"I don't know about that. The girl surnamed Wang didn't give her name, but Fellow Daoist Yang Yude called her that, calling her Junior Sister Wang."

"Then it must be her." Zeng Rou thought for a moment and waved her hand, "Come closer to me."

Feng Yan walked over slowly. Zeng Rou sniffed calmly and nodded, "It really is an unusual fragrance. Let me ask you, did Wang Qingyao really buy thirty pills?"

"It's absolutely true. Although I didn't see it myself, it was said by our sect's headmaster himself."

"No wonder Yu De left in such a hurry that day. It turned out he was going to take care of this matter." Zeng Rou said, "Do you have a shop selling these pills in Bianxi City? I'll go buy some tomorrow."

Seeing that she addressed Yang Yude so affectionately and was seated in this position, Feng Yan assumed she must be an important figure in the Beastmaster Sect. She quickly replied, "Our sect's Jade Fragrance Pill was recently developed, so there aren't many of them. We don't have a shop in the Bianxi City market, so it's only available in Nanyuan Valley in Bianxia Town. If Sister Zeng doesn't mind, I have a Jade Fragrance Pill that I carry with me. How about giving it to you?"

"If Sister Zeng doesn't like it after using it, forget it. If she does, just let me know next time you need it. We'll send someone to deliver it to Sister Zeng."

Zeng Rou was delighted to see her being so sensible, and said with a smile, "How can this be good?"

"A sword is given to a hero. Our sect's Jade Fragrance Pill is specially used for beautiful women. A beauty like Sister Zeng is a perfect match with the Jade Fragrance Pill. After using it, all men in the world will be unable to take their eyes off it and will be inseparable from it. If the Jade Fragrance Pill is not used by Sister Zeng, it would be a disgrace to its original purpose!" Feng Yan said, and took out a small wooden box from her sleeve and handed it over.

Xiao Ling on the side said with a smile: "Look at this little mouth, it's so talkative."

Zeng Rou pursed her lips, but also smiled from ear to ear: "Since my sister said so, I can't refuse."

After saying that, he took the wooden box, but saw a red heart-shaped pattern engraved on it, with a sentence "Love is forever" on both sides and a jade fragrant pill.

This was exactly what she had in mind.

It turns out that Zeng Rou is not a disciple of the Beast Taming Sect, but Yang Jinzhang's concubine.

Yang Jinzhang's wife died early, and he had not remarried in these years. Zeng Rou was a casual cultivator in the border town. Yang Jinzhang took her into his house because of her beauty. Although he treated her well, he never gave her a legal status.

Zeng Rou relied on Yang Jinzhang's power and not only gained many benefits for herself, but also became a well-known figure in the entire Bianxi City. No matter who saw her, they would be polite to her.

In this way, she became even more dependent on Yang Jinzhang, because she knew very well that all this was obtained thanks to Yang Jinzhang. Once she left Yang Jinzhang, no one would fawn over her.

Therefore, her biggest wish is that Yang Jinzhang can make her his wife and give her a formal status. According to the rules of the Beast Taming Sect, the wives of disciples will be recruited into the Beast Taming Sect. In this way, she will not only get a formal status, but also become a member of the Beast Taming Sect.

But Yang Jinzhang has always disagreed with this, because he can be where he is today and hold this position firmly because of the support of his father-in-law behind the scenes.

It's not a big deal to find a woman outside, but if you remarry and make her your wife, you will inevitably offend your father-in-law. How could Yang Jinzhang, a woman, give up the power and status he had worked so hard to get to where he is today?
Therefore, although Zeng Rou mentioned it several times, both openly and secretly, Yang Jinzhang remained indifferent.

The more she couldn't get it, the more she wanted it, and gradually, this became a knot in Zeng Rou's heart.

At this moment, when I saw the two words on the wooden box of Yuxiangdan, I felt even more happy.
