After sitting down, his wife and concubines tensed up. All eyes were on Shen Ping. They did not dare to look at the other cultivators. The weakest person present was at the Foundation Establishment realm. If not for their husband, their legs had already gone weak.
Shen Ping looked at the cultivators in front of him. He picked up his wine glass and stood up to bow to Senior Wu Shan. Then, he bowed to all the cultivators. “Fellow Daoists, seniors, it’s my honor that all of you could participate in my Foundation Establishment banquet. Thank you, everyone!”
As she spoke, he raised his head and drank it in one gulp. His wife and concubines behind him also stood up and bowed to all the cultivators.
After the toast, members of the True Treasure Pavilion walked over with various delicacies.
Elder Peng stood up and smiled. “Everyone, today is the banquet of the special-class guest elder of our True Treasure Pavilion, Talisman Master Shen. There’s no need to stand on ceremony. Enjoy this spirit wine and delicacies to your heart’s content.”
With that, he waved his sleeve. Immediately, the round platform in the middle of the jade table glowed. The dance music of the bamboo pipes gradually lingered. The surrounding paintings of mountains and rivers presented beautiful scenery. Compared to the pleasure boats that held a small banquet, they were even more shocking.
As beautiful scenery and dance music appeared, The atmosphere in the ship became harmonious. Many cultivators chatted with each other. Some cultivators even toasted each other and admired the beautiful scenery.
When the famous female cultivators of the Mystic Immortal Pavilion walked out, the atmosphere became more relaxed and lively. Shopkeeper Qu, Shopkeeper Ding, and the other guest elders also took this opportunity to toast Shen Ping. His wife and concubines felt proud when they saw this scene.
Outside the ship, the layer of light descended. Fairy Cai Shang walked out gracefully and bowed when she saw Deacon Xia. “Cai Shang greets Senior Xia.”
Deacon Xia said indifferently, “Fairy Cai Shang’s solo dance under the moon is famous in Qingyang. You have to show it well this time. After the banquet ends, you can spend some time alone with Guest Elder Shen.” Speaking of this, he reminded her, “Guest Elder Shen has a noble status. Don’t have any improper thoughts on this trip.”
Fairy Cai Shang hurriedly said, “Senior Xia, don’t worry. Cai Shang just wants to get to know Guest Elder Shen.”
“1 hope so. Alright, go in and wait.” Deacon Xia brought Fairy Cai Shang to the room from the side corridor of the ship.
After he left, Fairy Cai Shang sat on a chair and pinched the corner of her skirt with both hands. “1 wonder what kind of person this Guest Elder Shen is.” She looked forward to it. Before she came, the Pavilion Master repeatedly reminded her to seize this opportunity.
As long as she could succeed, the Mystic Immortal Pavilion would do its best to nurture her in the future.
Fairy Cai Shang could not help but hear the last voice of the Pavilion Master. “That Cai Yue is only the Dao Companion of the Golden Sun Sect’s Sect Master. Although the Golden Sun Sect is powerful in the Wei Kingdom, it’s only an insignificant immortal Dao sect in the Northern Rock Marsh Region.
“My Mystic Immortal Pavilion has some strength in the Northern Rock Marsh Region, but it’s as insignificant as a firefly in the Fire Toad Cave. However, the special-class guest elder of the True Treasure Pavilion can go to the core of the five continents and four seas, the Zhongsheng Continent. That is the holy land of cultivators of our generation. So now you know how precious this opportunity is!”
Thinking of this, Fairy Cai Shang’s long breathing became heavier. “Ten minutes. I will definitely be able to get to know Guest Elder Shen.”
Time passed slowly. Deacon Xia’s voice sounded, “Fairy Cai Shang, get ready.”
A few dozen breaths later, the side door of the room suddenly opened. Rays of light swept out with the sound of waves on the lake.
Fairy Cai Shang’s graceful figure stepped on the waves and slowly appeared in the multicolored light. She had put on some makeup. As her fair and slender jade legs circled, the colorful ribbons that fell from her waist danced in the wind. This solo dance under the moon had long been engraved in her blood. Even if she closed her eyes, it could be revealed.
And every time she danced, she was immersed in it. It was even more so this time. She could not miss this opportunity.
Driven by a strong thought,
The Solitary Dance under the Moon became even more natural, as if it had completely fused with the waves under the moonlight.
“Good!”
“This is the solo dance under the moon!”
“What a rare sight!”
The praises rose and fell.
Shen Ping looked at the graceful figure on the round platform that was like a fairy from the heavens, and his eyes revealed a hint of surprise. The last time he watched on the pleasure boat, Fairy Cai Shang’s dancing skills were not so natural. He did not expect her to improve so much this time.
He looked at it with admiration. However, when he saw Pei Huoyu, who was still resting with her eyes closed, from the corner of his eye, he could not help but shake his head. It seemed like Perfected Pei’s life lacked fun.
After the solo dance under the moon, the atmosphere of the banquet became even more lively.
The Golden Core cultivators also chatted freely with each other. Some even took the opportunity to get to know Shen Ping. For example, Perfected Chu of the Acacia Faction and Perfected Yue of the Danxia Sect. These two late-stage Golden Core cultivators were the main cultivators in charge of Qingyang City.
Originally, there were other Golden Core cultivators from the two sects on the invitation list, but they were all crossed out by Shen Ping in the end, leaving only the two of them.
“Guest Elder Shen. This is the identity wooden token of Small Courtyard A8 in Tongquan Alley. In addition, there’s no need to pay rent in the future for the small courtyard in Huiquan Alley that you’re currently living in. These two small courtyards are gifts from our Acacia Faction and the Danxia Sect. 1 hope you can accept them.”
Shen Ping smiled and said, “Thank you, seniors.”
Qingyang City originally belonged to the Golden Sun Sect. The houses and small courtyards in the alleys in the city were all built by the Golden Sun Sect one after another. However, they had now become the resources of the Acacia Sect and the Danxia Sect.
This made him sigh in his heart. “Strength is the foundation!”
The sun set and dusk arrived. The grand Foundation Establishment banquet finally came to an end after Fairy Cai Shang’s second solo dance under the moon. Many cultivators congratulated Shen Ping again and left one after another.
The jade table gradually became empty. After the Golden Core Realm cultivators left, the late-stage Foundation Establishment guest of the True Treasure Pavilion was not in a hurry to leave. Instead, they went forward and chatted more or less with Shen Ping before leaving.
In the end, Chong Ji and his eldest disciple, Di Shouye, walked over.
Shen Ping cupped his hands and said, “Senior Chong, Fellow Daoist Di, please forgive me for my negligence. This cup of wine is my apology.”
Chong Ji hurriedly stopped him. “Talisman Master Shen, you’re being too serious. It’s already an honor for me and my disciple to participate in your Foundation Establishment banquet.”
He smiled. “Of course, if Talisman Master Shen doesn’t have enough fun, I’ll hold a banquet at the spiritual vein cave abode another day to invite you to taste spirit wine. 1 wonder if Talisman Master Shen can come to my humble abode?”
Shen Ping did not hesitate and said straightforwardly, “Since Senior Chong is inviting me, I naturally have to go.”
Chong Ji laughed. “Okay. We’ll talk about it another day.” He quickly left with Di Shouye.
Shopkeeper Qu and Shopkeeper Ding were standing at the side. Seeing that the invitation was successful, the mo of them smiled.
“Fellow Daoist Shen, looks like Guest Elder Luo, I, and the others will have to stay in Qingyang City for a few days.” Shopkeeper Ding went forward and said.
Shen Ping could not help but tease, “Fellow Daoist Ding, if you want to taste the spirit wine, don’t fake it again.”
Shopkeeper Ding blushed and said seriously, “I definitely won’t next time.”
They chatted for a while about Cloud Mountain Parlour. Shen Ping personally sent Shopkeeper Qu and the others off. He watched as the light gradually disappeared. He heaved a sigh of relief. His wife and concubines also went forward and hugged Shen Ping’s arm as their legs went weak. They panted heavily.
It was really not easy for them to last until now.
Back at the ship, Deacon Xia walked over. “Fairy Cai Shang wants to see you. It’ll only take io minutes. Guest Elder Shen, do you want to see her?”
Shen Ping was stunned. The beautiful figure of Fairy Cai Shang appeared in front of him, but in the end, it became the scene where they met the second time on Yun Shan Street in Huiquan Alley. He smiled faintly. “There’s no need..”
