Longevity And Romance Begin With The Redemption Of A Good Family

Chapter 314: Banquet Of City Lord Gongyue

Mr. Shuiyue is a well-known figure in the cultivation world.

It's not because of his strong power.

In fact, he only has the cultivation level of the Gold Core stage. In the entire cultivation world, he can only be considered average.

The reason he is famous is because he is proficient in painting and formations.

These two things seem unrelated, but he can ingeniously combine them.

He can paint landscapes on ordinary scrolls and incorporate formations into them.

If an ordinary person cannot find the key or is unfamiliar with formations, all they will see is a beautiful landscape painting.

But if someone has studied formations and deciphered some hidden mechanisms in the painting, then the landscape painting becomes a treasure map!

That's why Mr. Shuiyue is famous.

Each of his paintings is a treasure map.

It is said that he has painted five treasure maps in his lifetime, and two of them have been deciphered by others, resulting in great benefits from the treasure locations.

These are things that have been confirmed by people, not just rumors.

So Mr. Shuiyue's treasure maps, despite being ordinary paper scrolls, are even worth as much as some top-grade magical treasures.

As for Modu, it has an even more impressive background.

He is a genius in the demon world who is said to only appear once every ten thousand years. He reached the realm of an upper immortal in less than a hundred years of cultivation, and his cultivation speed is almost unmatched.

However, he is still a young member of the demon race. His rapid rise has made the old powerhouses of the demon race extremely wary.

So at a special moment, these demon powerhouses secretly made a move against him.

Modu almost died in a trial, and finally realized that those demon powerhouses are not to be trifled with.

So after the trial, he began to cultivate in seclusion while carefully transferring the treasures he obtained during the trial and his own collections to another place.

The place he found is very secretive, and in order to remember the location in the future, he paid a great price to have Mr. Shuiyue paint a painting.

That's the treasure map Lu Yu is holding now!

"So this map is very powerful?"

Opening the treasure map, Lu Yu's hand trembled slightly.

Modu's strength is so powerful that even a small item leaked from his hands would be enough for Lu Yu to benefit from.

So the value of this treasure map is definitely not lower than that bowl.

"Yes. I just appraised it, and this map is undoubtedly Mr. Shuiyue's authentic work."

Fairy Wanyue reassured Lu Yu.

"In that case, shall we prepare a little and go treasure hunting? Wait, this map doesn't even show where the treasure is hidden."

Just as he was about to go treasure hunting, Lu Yu carefully looked at the treasure map and stopped.

Because no matter how you look at it, this map is just a landscape painting, completely unrelated to a treasure map.

He then remembered that Fairy Wanyue had said to understand the mystery within the map before doing anything.

As for what the mystery is, Lu Yu can't figure it out right now.

"It seems that it's not easy to get a treasure after all."

After carefully examining the map and finding no clues, he temporarily gave up.

"Nonsense. If anyone could understand the mystery on the map, wouldn't the treasure have been taken long ago? Quickly put away this treasure map. I bet Old Unintentional doesn't even know about its existence."

This treasure map is today's biggest gain.

Lu Yu put the treasure map back into his storage ring and planned to ponder it when he had time in the future.

"By the way, there's something I want to ask you."

After tidying up the treasure map, Fairy Wanyue suddenly had a terrifying smile on her face.

"What exactly was the pill you gave me to eat?"

"Ah! It's said to be for male cultivators, but you insisted on trying it. If it weren't for my help, you would probably have been poisoned by the side effects of this pill."

Lu Yu wiped his sweat lightly.

He didn't dare to say what the Xiongfeng Pill was for. If he really said it, would Fairy Wanyue spare his life?

"Hmph, I'll spare you today since I'm not feeling well. I'll deal with you later."

Fairy Wanyue didn't have any intention to continue probing.

After uttering those harsh words, she let out a big yawn, then got up and went straight to her bed, lying down.

Although her cultivation had already reached the Gold Core stage, something unusual happened when she dual-cultivated with Lu Yu, so she always felt very tired.

Since being with him, she had to sleep two to three hours more than usual almost every day.

Lu Yu had also gotten used to her lazy appearance every day.

Anyway, no one was currently targeting him, so he couldn't do anything about Fairy Wanyue resting.

And so, several more days passed in this ordinary manner.

Finally, the day of the Lord of Gongyue City's banquet arrived!

During this period, cultivators kept coming to Gongyue City, making the whole city very lively.

During this time, Lu Yu also went out with several women and bought some things.

Surprisingly, with so many cultivators coming to Gongyue City, they indeed brought many interesting things. Even pills that could enhance cultivation were being sold by many people.

Of course, the pills they sold were still far inferior in effect compared to the Anode Life-Changing Pill that Lu Yu refined himself.

The Lord of Gongyue City's banquet required at least the Gold Core stage to attend.

And of course, the banquet couldn't just be about eating, there had to be some performances.

The Lord of Gongyue City's performance was a treasure competition!

The rules of the treasure competition were simple: each side would present a treasure.

If one side's treasure was more valuable, they would be declared the winner.

There were three types of rewards for the competition. First, the Lord of Gongyue City provided a generous prize. The second was that each side would offer a reward, and the winner would take all the rewards. As for the third type, no rewards were needed, and the winner would directly take the loser's treasure used in the competition.

Each type of reward had its own advantages, but it was obvious that the third method had greater losses for the loser and was more exciting.

The banquet was held in the small square of the Lord's mansion.

To show that it was a banquet, after everyone arrived, the Lord of Gongyue City had people serve food to each table.

Various delicacies, filled with spiritual energy, were brought out like a stream.

Just these ingredients alone were quite valuable.

Seeing the cultivators at the banquet salivating, everyone knew how tempting these things were.

As for those who were just there to watch, sorry, their strength was insufficient, so they could only smell the aroma and watch others eat.

The weak must have the awareness of being weak. If they wanted to eat these things, they had to have enough strength!

"Thank you, Fellow Daoists, for attending. Let's all raise our glasses and start the banquet!"

With the food served, the Lord of Gongyue City first raised his glass to everyone.

Then the banquet officially began.
