The next morning, Wang Bin and Du Juan woke up slowly, and after carefully dressing up, they looked radiant.

They arrived at the entrance of Xihai City's inner city early.

Today, in addition to the four foundation-building cultivators who were in charge of guarding the place, Chu Wu personally led a team of people to the door to welcome guests from all parties.

Wang Bin brought Du Juan and held the invitation letter. He walked forward to greet Chu Wu and then entered smoothly.

Stepping into the inner city of Xihai City again, the nine towering mountains came into view, and rich spiritual energy hit me in the face, which was even richer than that in the outer city.

Wang Bin's heart was full of yearning, and he secretly set an ambition that he would let the Wang family own such an extraordinary territory in the future.

At this time, a female disciple of the Chu family who was in the middle stage of Qi Refining came over lightly and said with a smile:

"Two seniors, please follow me. I am Chu Yuxuan, a disciple of the Chu family. I will lead the way for you two today."

After she finished speaking, she gently blew the whistle hanging around her neck, and a moment later, a giant spirit-feathered crane with a body of two meters descended from the sky.

This Spirit-Feathered Crane exudes a powerful aura of the Foundation Establishment Stage, and its body is twice as large as the Spirit-Feathered Cranes seen in the outer city.

Chu Yuxuan jumped onto the crane's back first, gently touched the crane's head, fed some food into its mouth, and then called Wang Bin and Dujuan to board the crane.

Seeing this, Wang Bin couldn't help but be shocked by the profound background of the Chu family. This mount alone was a Foundation Establishment Stage monster, and there must be a lot of them. Judging from the scene today, there were probably dozens or even hundreds of them.

The spirit-feathered crane flapped its wings and flew high at an extremely fast speed, and soon reached the halfway point of the mountain.

Wang Bin had been here last time, but the Chu family's treasure house still had to go up a distance to reach it.

"Senior, I'll take you here. Just take the invitation and register at the door."

Chu Yuxuan said.

"Thank you, Miss Chu, this is a small token of our appreciation."

Du Juan thanked Chu Yuxuan gratefully, and before getting off the Lingyu Crane, she handed her ten medium-grade spirit stones.

Chu Yuxuan accepted it happily. Wang Bin said nothing more about it, but sighed in his heart.

The world of cultivating immortals is also full of human relationships and worldly affairs, as the saying goes, "There is a seventh-rank official in front of the prime minister's door."

When the two of them arrived at the front gate of the Chu family, they saw a Jindan cultivator and several foundation-building cultivators from the Chu family accepting gifts.

Wang Bin respectfully presented the invitation and gift. The old man, the Golden Core, looked at Wang Bin in surprise and said loudly:

"Lord of Baiyun City, Qingmu sends a gift: 666 mid-grade fire spirit stones!"

Then the old man smiled and said, "Young friend Qingmu, please come in."

As Wang Bin and Du Juan stepped into the Chu family's gate, an even richer spiritual energy instantly enveloped them.

Dujuan opened her mouth slightly in astonishment, glanced at Wang Bin, and forced herself not to speak.

The concentration of spiritual energy here is far higher than that in her area, and the spiritual energy is more active, as if it is easier to be absorbed and refined.

As soon as you enter the door, you will see a row of female foundation-building practitioners standing gracefully in uniform.

One of the female cultivators' eyes lit up and she walked over quickly.

"Uncle Aoki, Sister Dujuan, please come this way."

Chu Tianqing smiled as brightly as a flower and led Wang Bin and Du Juan to a table a few dozen steps away and asked them to sit down.

This table is only for two people. It is a bit like a sofa and there is a table in front of it.

About half of the yard was filled with tables and chairs like this, but most of them were empty with no one sitting there.

There were also a dozen or so foundation-building cultivators sitting scattered in the rest of the seats. They were probably worried about being late, just like Wang Bin. After all, the big guys always made the final appearance, and only small characters like them needed to arrive early.

“This courtyard receives cultivators at the Foundation Establishment and Qi Refining stages, while the courtyards further in are where the Golden Core and Nascent Soul cultivators are.

My job today is to welcome guests and serve tea in this courtyard. If you need anything, just call me directly."

Chu Tianqing said.

"Okay, Tianqing, go ahead and get busy!"

Wang Bin's eyes inadvertently fell on the only pot of tea on the table in front of him. He reached out curiously to pick it up and looked at it carefully.

Seeing this, he couldn't help but be shocked. It turned out that this was a pot of extremely precious Xiao Wudao tea, with eight tea leaves leisurely brewing in it.

Wang Bin thought to himself that the Chu family was really impressive to have third-grade spiritual tea on every table.

Thinking of this, he carefully poured a glass for himself and Dujuan, and then took a sip with a hint of comfort.

The rich tea aroma instantly spread in his mouth and slowly flowed down his throat into his body, like a warm current, making him feel extremely comfortable.

It was also because of this sip of tea that the slight sense of imbalance in his heart caused by sending the gift dissipated a lot at this moment. The gift finally got some reward.

The two of them just sat there quietly, and guests came one after another.

However, most of the people who came were Qi-refining cultivators and Foundation-building cultivators. The strange thing was that after waiting for a long time, not a single Jindan cultivator showed up.

Wang Bin couldn't help but feel a little doubtful. He thought to himself:

Is it possible that there are no Jindan cultivators attending today's Jindan Ceremony, which is so important for the Chu family's genius?

This is a bit unreasonable. Just when he was full of doubts, a familiar and loud voice came from outside:

"The Li family in Xihai City, Li Wenyan and the young master of the Li family are giving us a gift: a three-hundred-year-old Fire Ganoderma!"

The sound was so loud that it seemed as if it was amplified through a loudspeaker. It was estimated that the entire Chu family could hear it clearly.

After hearing this, Wang Bin subconsciously compared the gift he had given with this one in his mind.

He thought to himself that what he had given was 666 fire-attribute spirit stones, which should be worth more than this 300-year-old fire Ganoderma lucidum. He just didn't know why he didn't read it out loud.

However, he also had to admire the Chu family's clever move. Just such a seemingly simple act of giving gifts and announcing rituals could probably allow the Chu family to gain countless precious cultivation resources. This was truly a good way to gain both fame and fortune.

"The Wu family in Xihai City, the head of the Wu family is giving away a five-hundred-year-old red essence!"

"The Yin family of Xihai City, Yin Tianqi, is giving away a 400-year-old spiritual ginseng!"

"Xihai City Zhang Family..."

Immediately afterwards, one after another, the Jindan families in Xihai City came to give gifts. Without exception, the gifts they sent were precious elixirs that were at least hundreds of years old.

Wang Bin listened to the names of these precious elixirs and couldn't help swallowing his saliva with envy.

He began to fantasize uncontrollably in his mind, thinking that if he could have a chance to receive so many precious gifts like the Chu family, then he would probably have more than enough resources to cultivate to the Nascent Soul stage.

Alas, in this world of cultivating immortals, the strong get stronger.

Normally, if a foundation-building cultivator like himself accidentally came across a spiritual medicine that was even only a few hundred years old, he would probably have to fight with other cultivators to the death for a chance to get it.

But the Chu family is so good, they just sit at home and do nothing, and let everyone obediently offer these precious treasures.

And he had to put on a smile and be respectful. He still had a lot to learn about the Chu family's strength and methods.

"Situ Qingqing from the Situ family in Beihai City sent a bottle of the third-level Qingxin Pill!"

As soon as the gift was read out outside, the whole yard suddenly exploded and everyone started talking about it.

Wang Bin also listened to the general idea. It turned out that the Situ family, like the Chu family, was one of the top families in Beihai City. Moreover, the Situ family had a powerful ancestor in the God Transformation Realm, and had a profound foundation.

And Situ Qingqing is even more gifted. She has successfully entered the Golden Core Realm before she was fifty years old. Such talent must make countless people envious and jealous.

I just don't know why she came to the Chu family to attend the ceremony this time.

Just as Wang Bin was daydreaming, Situ Qingqing walked slowly through the middle of the yard with a female bodyguard.

Wang Bin subconsciously took a quick glance at her and saw that she had delicate features and a fresh and refined temperament, like a fairy from heaven.

But the clothes she was wearing were very loose, covering her figure completely and making it impossible to see her figure clearly.

Moreover, her face was covered with a thin veil, which added a bit of mystery.

There were some brave male cultivators in the yard who, driven by curiosity, actually tried to use their spiritual sense to explore her true appearance under the veil.

But the result was that they were now kneeling under the table with their heads in their hands, cold sweat pouring down their foreheads like rain, and they were trying hard not to make any sound.

Wang Bin saw this scene and sighed in his heart:

This is really a sword hanging over one's head due to lust. In this world of cultivating immortals, retribution comes too quickly.

After sighing, he quickly turned his gaze to Dujuan. At this moment, Dujuan was the most beautiful, and most importantly, Dujuan would never use her spiritual sense to pierce his sea of ​​consciousness.
