Reversing the Milky Way

Chapter 369 The Xue Family Banquet

A cool, silky sensation came from the woman's six slender hands. Shangguan Zhi let out a sigh with a dazed look in his eyes, followed by a soft, seductive moan. Then he turned around, leaving the woman's slender back to Shangguan Zhi, and slowly lowered his body.

Shangguan Zhi stroked the woman's smooth skin with fascination, a feeling of soft comfort washing over him.

The silky smoothness combined with the cotton-like softness of the ground creates a striking contrast.

Among the surrounding spiritual plants, four recording stones are capturing this absurd event from different angles, showing a man standing behind a terrifying spider...

After a while, Du Mingchun and the two guards at the entrance vaguely heard cries coming from inside the cultivation cave. The cries were very peculiar, like howling and also like satisfied roars, which immediately caught the attention of the two guards.

Guard 1: "What's that sound?"

Guard 2: "It sounds like the young master is calling."

Guard 1: "Old man, could there be something wrong with your pills?"

Du Mingchun: "What a joke! I have been practicing medicine for decades and no one has ever said that there is a problem with my medicine. It must be that your young master did not follow my instructions."

The two guards ignored Du Mingchun's words and pushed open the door to the secret room, rushing inside. Du Mingchun followed closely behind.

However, the next moment, they witnessed a scene that they would never forget.

The two guards were stunned, and Du Mingchun, who had practiced medicine for many years, was also horrified when he saw such a scene.

Du Mingchun: "Oh dear! Although I have been practicing medicine for decades and thought I was no longer surprised by such carnal desires, it seems that I am still too inexperienced."

The two guards, disregarding what was happening before them, immediately rushed forward and separated the two.

Guard 1: "Go and report to the master immediately!"

Upon hearing this, one of the guards immediately left the meditation chamber.

Meanwhile, Shangguan Zhi, who was in a state of great interest, suddenly saw what was happening in front of him. In his field of vision, he saw Shangguan Lan suddenly appear in front of him and then kick the woman in front of him away.

His vision remained blurry and uncertain, and everything in front of him seemed to meander and twist like cotton wool.

Shangguan Zhi: "You! You! I've put up with you for so long!"

Shangguan Zhi pointed at the guards in front of him and shouted at them.

The guard in front of him was now unable to express his feelings in words.

Guard 1: "Young Master, it's me! What's wrong?"

After saying that, the guard stared fiercely at Du Mingchun beside him.

Guard 1: "Damn it, was it you who did this to the old man?!"

Du Mingchun gave him a cold, sidelong glance.

Du Mingchun: "Don't wrong me."

No sooner had he finished speaking than Shangguan Zhi rushed forward and grabbed the guard by the neck with one hand.

Shangguan Zhi: "Today! I'll show you what I'm capable of, you bitch!"

After saying that, she ignored the guard's struggles and forcefully tore open his clothes. Then, the two did something indescribable.

Du Mingchun, who was standing to the side, was dumbfounded. He had not expected the medicine to be so potent.

Du Mingchun: "Alas, the world is going to the dogs! But from what I've observed, this Shangguan Zhi really does suffer from a serious illness! He's much smaller than a normal man!"

The guard was unable to move under Shangguan Zhi's suppression, and as a servant, he could not resist. For a moment, the secret cultivation chamber was filled with howling and screaming.

Not long after, Shangguan Yu, who was discussing matters in the family, heard the news and immediately rushed over.

At this moment, Du Mingchun had already retrieved all the recording stones he had secretly placed earlier. Upon seeing Shangguan Yu arrive, he immediately rushed forward to separate the two, then looked remorseful.

Upon witnessing the absurd scene, Shangguan Yu immediately flew into a rage.

Shangguan Zhi was still rambling incoherently.

Shangguan Zhi: "Who! Who is it that has disturbed my enjoyment!?"

In his hazy, dreamlike vision, Shangguan Zhi saw yet another blurry figure.

A fierce glint appeared in Shangguan Yu's eyes: "Hmph! Ridiculous!"

After he finished speaking, his aura instantly spread out, and with a wave of his hand, the phantom of a giant palm slammed into Shangguan Zhi's body. This sudden attack sent Shangguan Zhi flying against the wall.

Then, he glared angrily at Du Mingchun, who felt a chilling aura pressing down on his heart.

Shangguan Yu: "Explain to me! What happened?"

Du Mingchun had already prepared his explanation, so he recounted what had happened. Shangguan Yu frowned coldly after listening.

Shangguan Yu: "Go! Bring Hu Feng here!"

Not long after, Hu Feng arrived at the scene.

Shangguan Yu: "Go and see what illness the young master is suffering from!"

Shangguan Yu pointed to the unconscious Shangguan Zhi beside him and spoke.

After receiving the order, Hu Feng glanced indifferently at Du Mingchun, then went to Shangguan Zhi's side to examine him carefully.

After channeling spiritual energy into Shangguan Zhi's body, it was discovered that Shangguan Zhi's body was now unusually healthy, and even all of his internal organs appeared vigorous, including the indescribable substance, which appeared unusually excited.

After another careful investigation, they came to Shangguan Yu.

Hu Feng: "Master, the young master's health is perfectly normal, except for signs that he has taken aphrodisiacs."

Upon hearing this, Shangguan Yu withdrew his furious gaze, because Du Mingchun had previously mentioned his son's illness, and as the father, he naturally knew a thing or two about it.

Shangguan Yu: "Pass down the order: no one is to divulge even a single word about what happened today, or they will be executed without mercy!"

After saying this, he glanced at Du Mingchun warily.

Du Mingchun also knew that if he did not make a statement today, he would probably not be able to leave the Shangguan family safely.

Du Mingchun: "Senior Shangguan, please rest assured. As a physician, I value the privacy of all my patients extremely. I will absolutely not reveal a single word of it. Otherwise, it would be a disgrace to my reputation built up over decades of medical practice."

Shangguan Yu's expression remained tense after hearing this.

Shangguan Yu: "Someone! Take Doctor Du back!"

Before Du Mingchun could react, several guards carried him out of the Shangguan family mansion, without even giving him a chance to ask for his medical fee.

Du Mingchun: "Ahem! This group of people is really something. After all, I was the one who treated Shangguan Zhi's intractable illness. Although the process wasn't very elegant, at least it was resolved."

After saying that, he left with heavy steps.

The Xue family's banquet was held as usual the next day. Just like the Bai family's banquet, all the families that came were prominent and influential families in Baifeng City.

Meanwhile, on a pavilion outside the Xue family mansion, Bai Cheng sat upright at a table with a pot of spiritual tea in front of him, looking out the window at what was happening inside the Xue family mansion.

Bai Cheng: "Sigh, I still couldn't resist coming to take a look."

As he spoke, he fiddled with the recording stone in his hand. He had already seen the contents of it; it was the very stone that Du Mingchun had given him yesterday.

The reason was simple: he had learned something very unexpected today, that is, the Shangguan family intended to bring Shangguan Lan and the Xue family together, and for this reason, Shangguan Ba ​​brought important members of his family with him.

The Xue family mansion was also enormous, about two miles from the main gate to the main banquet hall. The mansion was also protected by a huge spirit-concealing array. Without an invitation, outsiders could not use their divine sense to explore the mansion.

The pavilion where Bai Cheng was located was a teahouse less than 500 meters from the gate of the Xue residence. From here, one could only vaguely see the brightly lit and decorated scene inside the Xue residence with the naked eye.

The Xue family's banquet in Tonghai was slightly different from the Bai family's banquet. The Bai family's banquet had an outer table specially prepared for those independent cultivators without any power, while the Xue family's banquet did not prepare for these independent cultivators, but only allowed those families with invitations to enter.

As a familiar family entered, Bai Cheng began to ponder how to make use of the memory stone in his hand.

Bai Cheng: "Hmm? The Shangguan family really did come! But where is Shangguan Zhi?"

Not long after, Bai Cheng saw the Bai family arrive at the Xue residence. To his surprise, not many people from the Bai family came this time. Apart from the elders, led by Bai Zhentian, none of the younger generation, such as Bai Fengze, were present. In addition, the number of people at this banquet was not as large as the previous banquet of the Bai family. The number of people attending this banquet was less than 20% of that of the previous banquet. The main reason for this was that a lot of things had happened in Baifeng City during this period.

As the group continued to arrive at the Xue family's gate, Bai Cheng was surprised to find that Nie Chaosheng and Yang Hai had also come to the banquet. He was very surprised because, according to his understanding, these people from the Supervisory Bureau would not easily intervene in the disputes between the aristocratic families in Baifeng City.

Just then, a voice came from next to Bai Cheng's private room. Not only that, the person talking to him was using a telepathic method.

"May I ask which school you belong to? Would you be willing to make your acquaintance?"

Upon hearing the sound, Bai Cheng scanned the private room in front of him with his divine sense and saw a young man and a young woman sitting opposite each other.

Bai Cheng: "Who are you?"

Sun Tianxiao: "Let me introduce myself. My name is Sun Tianxiao, and the person next to me is my cousin, Sun Huilin."

After hearing the introduction, Bai Cheng quickly went through all the powerful families in Baifeng City in his mind. He suddenly remembered that the main family force supported by the Crimson Flame Hall, one of the six major sects, was the Sun family.

Bai Cheng: "So you are the young master of the Sun family. I've heard so much about you. I am a disciple of the Bai family, and my name is Bai Cheng."

Upon hearing this name, Sun Tianxiao, who was in the next private room, was stunned.

Sun Tianxiao: "So you are Bai Cheng. No wonder you look so young!"

Sun Tianxiao had already heard of Bai Cheng, so he complimented Bai Cheng.

Bai Cheng: "Is the Sun family also here for the banquet? Why aren't they going in?"

Sun Tianxiao: "Alas, to my shame, as a supporting family of one of the six major sects, my Sun family thought we would receive an invitation this time, but unexpectedly, the Xue family did not send an invitation to our Sun family, except for the other five families."

Bai Cheng: "Hmm? Why is that? If I remember correctly, the families supported by the six major sects are considered middle-level forces in Baifeng City, so why didn't they receive invitations?"

Sun Tianxiao: "You don't know this, but the reason for all this can be traced back to the Crimson Flame Hall. Ever since the Crimson Flame Hall closed its gates last time, we've rarely seen any of their disciples within our territory. The only ones who occasionally come out are stewards who go out to buy materials. As a result, rumors have already spread throughout the territory that the Crimson Flame Hall Master seems to have lost his kingdom. Even disciples from the Tyrant Blade Sect, which is located in the neighboring territory, have started appearing in the Crimson Flame Hall's territory. Previously, the six major sects of White Maple City had a clear rule that disciples of the six major sects were not allowed to trespass into the territory of other sects, as such behavior was considered a provocation. But now..."

At this point, Sun Tianxiao fell silent, and Sun Huilin, who was standing beside him, took over the telepathic message.

Sun Huilin: "Right now, the family is in a state of panic. The reason why our supported families have been able to stand firm is because of the sect behind us. But recently, our family's power and industries have been constantly replaced or even seized. My father has even started to plan to join another power. So, we made this decision to come to the Xue family banquet without my father's knowledge. We just wanted to find an opportunity."

After hearing these words, Bai Cheng stroked his chin.

Bai Cheng: "You want to go in? But even with my status, I can't help you."

Sun Huilin: "It's like this, we want Brother Bai Cheng's connections to help us contact the young master of the Bai family. We are willing to accept any price."

Bai Cheng: "This..."

Bai Cheng hesitated. Although contacting the young master of the Bai family was a trivial matter for him, none of the younger generation of the Bai family had come to the banquet. Even if he contacted them, they probably wouldn't be able to get in.

However, after explaining the situation, Bai Cheng still asked them what kind of compensation they could offer.

Sun Tianxiao: "Then what does Brother Bai Cheng need now? With your knowledge of the Bai family, I wonder if you would be interested in any cultivation techniques or items that can increase one's cultivation level?"

Bai Cheng pondered for a moment.

Bai Cheng: "I need a weapon, a handy weapon."

The two exchanged a glance after hearing this.

Sun Tianxiao: "Weapons?"

The two were surprised by Bai Cheng's reply, because within the Bai family, anyone who made a contribution could obtain a suitable weapon. Even low-grade spiritual weapons could be given to disciples by the Bai family. Bai Cheng already knew this, but just like what he had seen in the academy, the Bai family did not have any weapons suitable for use by lightning attribute cultivators. Since he came to Baifeng City, he had only ever come into contact with the Thunderclap that Gu Wanru had given him, which showed how rare such weapons were.

Bai Cheng: "That's right. I'd like to ask if there are any weapons or information specifically suitable for lightning attribute cultivators. If not, I'd also accept materials that can be forged into such weapons."

After hearing this, the two of them pondered silently for a while.

Sun Tianxiao: "If it's a weapon specifically for lightning attribute cultivators, I do know of one, but it's not in our clan, it's in the Crimson Flame Hall."

Sun Huilin: "Brother, are you perhaps referring to that item? But this is just hearsay; no one has ever seen it. How can we take it seriously?"

Bai Cheng: "What exactly is this item? If this information is useful to me, then I can help you out today."

The two exchanged another glance before Sun Tianxiao slowly spoke.

Sun Tianxiao: "The thing is, because we are a powerful family supported by the Crimson Flame Hall, most of the disciples in our clan are also disciples of the Crimson Flame Hall, including my cousin and me. During this time, we overheard a disciple of the hall talking about the Thunderfire Bow."

Bai Cheng: "Thunderfire Bow? Sounds like a bow and arrow?"

Sun Tianxiao: "That's right, that's exactly it. But we've never seen it in the Crimson Flame Hall. We even asked the Hall Master's daughter, Yan Lingxuan, about this. According to her, the bow was forcibly used by the old Sect Master Yanluo, but then it disappeared without a trace, and even she never saw it again. However, she later said that the bow was specially made for lightning attribute cultivators, and the fire attribute was just an accessory to it."

Bai Cheng was also somewhat puzzled when he heard this.

Bai Cheng: "So, that bow is a weapon with both lightning and fire attributes?"

Sun Tianxiao: "That's right. Based on the conclusions we've drawn, it's reasonable to think that way. Generally speaking, a spiritual weapon usually only has one spiritual power attribute. This is because if other spiritual power attributes are added, the weapon's structure will conflict, which greatly reduces its effectiveness. However, this isn't absolute. As long as it's not a combination of two conflicting attributes, there's a chance to forge a weapon with two attributes, or even three attributes. For a while, the Crimson Flame Hall attracted the attention of many thunder cultivators because of this rumor. Even the world-renowned Thunder Palace sent people to inquire about this matter, but nothing came of it later."

Bai Cheng was quite surprised to hear this, because he had never heard of such things as the multiple attributes of weapons from Lu Xuzi.
