Mysterious mirror hanging high

"The Changhu Sect is indeed a prestigious and upright sect in the Red Dust Sea. On behalf of the Song family, I would like to thank Senior Jinghu for his generosity!"

Jing Yu understood in his heart that the reason why Changhu Sect gave up a golden elixir corpse was certainly not because of Song Jianxu's "keeping his mind and upholding righteousness" during his lifetime, but because of his "Purple Qi Golden Elixir".

"Senior Jinghu, please take a seat."

Just as Jinghu Zhenren took his seat, he saw another Jindan Zhenren striding into the main hall. Jing Yu's eyes lit up and he hurried to greet him:

"So it's Senior Li Yan who has arrived! Thank you for your [Red Cloud Treasure Cover], otherwise my Dan formation wouldn't have been so smooth."

The person who came was none other than Li Yan Zhenren, the renowned Golden Elixir Refiner in the Red Dust Sea. Upon hearing this, he waved his hand and said with a chuckle:

"It's just a shield, what's there to thank me for? You, kid, have achieved golden and purple elixir, and I, an old man who borrowed your magic weapon, should be proud of it!"

Li Yan Zhenren was Song Jianxu's best friend, and naturally considered Jing Yu's half-elder. He personally ushered him to the guest seat and whispered:

"Senior Li Yan, Xuan Jing's golden elixir has just been completed. I am planning to collect spiritual materials to refine my own magical weapon. If you find suitable materials, I hope you can help Xuan Jing refine the spiritual blank."

Li Yan Zhenren twirled his beard and said, "This is a small matter. If you have gathered all the materials, you can go to Huosheng Island to find me!"

Later, dozens of real people from Jindan families came, most of them were cultivators in the early and middle stages of Jindan. There were also four or five great real people in the late Jindan stage, most of them were representatives of the false infant forces. Near noon, dozens of Jindan had gathered in the main hall. Now each of them found a few familiar friends to chat with, and they were very interested in discussing profound things. They actually turned this banquet into a small cultivation exchange meeting.

"Feng Lingye, the direct descendant of the Feng family on Tingfeng Island, has arrived!"

As soon as the welcoming monk sang "No", the originally noisy main hall suddenly became quiet. The many Jindan monks who were originally sitting in their seats stood up and looked towards the direction of the hall door.

A handsome young monk with a white sheathed sword in his hand walked slowly into the main hall.

This young man's cultivation level seems to be just at the perfect foundation building stage, but he can make a group of Jindan cultivators stand up to greet him. Among all the foundation building cultivators in the entire Red Dust Sea, there is only one person who can have such a grand ceremony - Nascent Soul Seed Feng Lingye!

Today, Feng Lingye has changed his usual gentlemanly appearance. Instead, he straightened his back and strode through the palace gate with big strides, looking like he was looking down on the world.

At this moment, he represented the entire Feng family of Tingfeng Island, and he was carrying the face of the dignified Yuanying Immortal Clan. Naturally, he could not let down the prestige of the clan. Feng Lingye stood in front of the main seat of Jing Yu, bowed in a neither humble nor arrogant manner, and said with a smile:

"I am Feng Lingye of the Feng family. I would like to congratulate Master Xuanjing on achieving the golden purple elixir. My master asked me to send you my regards. This is a small gift, not a token of respect, but I hope you will accept it."

"Fellow Daoist Feng, you're too polite."

Although the world of immortal cultivation has always been based on seniority and realm, Jing Yu did not act like a senior and said politely:

"When will Fellow Daoist Feng achieve his elixir?"

Feng Lingye said leisurely, "Lingye saw that the Master's elixir had turned golden purple, and he felt itchy and wanted to wait. He thought the time had come... The time was set for half a year later."

Jing Yu's eyes lit up: "I think Fellow Daoist Feng is already confident."

Feng Lingye pondered and said, "I'm 70% sure! There's no point in wasting time."

"Then I wish Fellow Daoist Feng that his elixir will become golden and purple!"

----

With Feng Lingye's arrival, all the guests in the main hall were gathered. As the protagonist of today, Jing Yu naturally had to say a few toasts. He only showed his decisiveness when killing people. He was usually gentle and emotionally stable. He was not the kind of eccentric or weird person. He was very good at such occasions and handled them easily.

The Jindan masters from various families in the Red Dust Sea heaved a sigh of relief when they saw that this genius who was rumored to be able to rival a Jindan late-stage cultivator was so easy to talk to. They all thought about whether they could establish a relationship with Jing Yu before he advanced to the Nascent Soul stage, which would also benefit their own families. So they all stood up and toasted him.

After three rounds of drinking, Song Jinghong stood up and said:

"Today, I am deeply grateful to all the seniors and distinguished guests for coming to Xingluo Island. This is an honor for my Song family. I, Song Jinghong, would like to express my gratitude to you all!"

Although today is Jing Yu's Golden Elixir Ceremony, the real head of the Song family is Song Jinghong. As the host, her thanks are reasonable.

However, most of the Jindan True Immortals and the accompanying Foundation Establishment cultivators at the banquet looked at him with amusement, because they also knew the delicate relationship between Song Jinghong and this Xuan Jing True Immortal. Back then, when Xuan Jing True Immortal was traveling outside, he always used the title of "Song Family's Son-in-law"!

Song Jinghong naturally felt the complicated gazes of the crowd, but he was completely unaware and continued:

"It just so happens that all the seniors are gathered here today, and Jinghong also wants them to be witnesses here."

"Back then, the old master and I encountered great hardship, and thanks to Master Xuan Jing's help, we were able to escape danger. Later, Xuan Jing took on the reputation of being the 'Song Family's Son-in-Law.' Firstly, he wanted to obtain the status of a direct descendant of the Foundation Establishment stage, simply for the sake of security... Secondly, it was due to the old master's selfish motives, hoping to bring us together and form a marriage."

"But marriage has always been about matching one's social status. As for appearance, Jinghong is ugly, as everyone knows. But Zhenren, on the other hand, has a handsome face and a heroic temperament. He is a rare beauty even in the world of immortal cultivation."

"In terms of talent, Jinghong is just average among the direct descendants of the aristocratic family. It is a blessing from heaven that he can form a golden elixir in this lifetime. However, Zhenren has already turned his elixir into golden purple. It is only a matter of time before he forms a Yuanying and ascends to the rank of Zhenjun!"

"In terms of family background, Jinghong is only from a Jindan family... But Zhenren has a great background, so this matter goes without saying."

"Besides, we can't even say that we're in love with each other. Jinghong is grateful to the real person for his appreciation, but it's just a friendship between gentlemen."

"Now that the Immortal has achieved the Purple Qi Golden Elixir, his reputation cannot be damaged any further at this Golden Elixir Ceremony. Jinghong must restore the Immortal's reputation."

"I, Song Jinghong... have never had any romantic relationship with the Immortal. From now on, the identity of [Song Family's Son-in-law] will no longer be mentioned!"

Song Jinghong's words made the expressions of the cultivators at the table change slightly. Jing Yu held the wine glass, covered his mouth and nose, and couldn't help but sigh secretly.

In fact, in his opinion, there was no need for Song Jinghong to clarify the matter for him. He was a person who had no mood for love. In the foreseeable future, he naturally would not have any Taoist partner. It didn't matter whether he was the son-in-law of the Song family or not.

But what Song Jinghong said was actually equivalent to severing his identity from the entire Song family of Xingluo Island. At this stage, it was actually harmful rather than beneficial to the Song family.

As the head of the Song family, Song Jinghong failed to consider the issue from the perspective of family interests. This was a dereliction of duty.

But as a good friend of Jing Yu, he would still clear his reputation even if it meant giving up huge benefits. Who could say anything wrong about such a friend?
