Chapter 394 – The Zhan Family’s Heavenly Pride
Chapter 394 – The Zhan Family’s Heavenly Pride
After the Zhan Family’s old man spoke out, the atmosphere took a sharp turn for the worse at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Cheng Qi was afraid that Cheng Qingjia would say the wrong thing, so he hurriedly smiled and rounded off the scene.
“Third Miss calm down, this nephew of mine doesn’t know how to change, I’ll persuade him.”
He opened his mouth to speak, but saw Cheng Qingjia gently shaking her head towards him.
Cheng Qingjia looked straight at Zhan Luo, “It’s not impossible to agree to Third Miss, but my Cheng Family cultivators have always advanced and retreated together, if Third Miss wants me to travel with her, why don’t you take our team with you.”
At those words, Zhan Luo’s eyebrows finally moved.
“You have a good idea, but with your team, I’m afraid you won’t be able to keep up with me.”
The strength of the Zhan Family was far superior to the Cheng Family, and there was even a Jindan cultivator in the team that Zhan Luo was in, which made their strength superb.
This sentence seemed crazy, but when she said it, it had a sense of deservingness to it.
The group of Cheng Family cultivators including Cheng Qi and Tang Chuan didn’t feel that there was anything wrong with the other party’s words.
“If Third Miss is unwilling to do so, then please don’t mention this matter again, I won’t leave the team easily.”
Cheng Qingjia’s heart was slightly relieved, thinking that the other party would give up on this, but Zhan Luo suddenly smiled.
Her looks were bright and flamboyant, and when she smiled, she was like a pearl that could not be looked at directly.
“Yes.”
Cheng Qingjia froze, thinking that she had heard wrongly, and Cheng Qi also found it unbelievable.
What kind of status was Third Miss Zhan, not only did her nephew’s words not offend anyone, she instead agreed to this somewhat excessive request.
“Go.”
Zhan Luo was a person with a say-it-like-it-is nature, and without leaving the others more time to react, she raised her steps and stepped onto the Zhan Family’s cloud boat.
Leaving Cheng Qingjia and the others to stare at each other for a while, in the end, it was Cheng Qi who coughed lightly.
“Since Third Miss Zhan has agreed, let’s rub up against the Zhan family’s cloud boat.”
Only then did the crowd take a step, walking towards the cloud boat.
The Zhan family’s cloud boat was atmospheric and gorgeous, with all sorts of formations within it, and it flew steadily and quickly, much better than the Cheng family’s cloud boat that had been used for hundreds of years.
Even Xu Chuniang was assigned an independent room, which had all the formations including the Spirit Gathering Formation, Soundproofing Formation, and so on.
She withdrew her gaze after a single glance and took out a blank bone piece, using her divine sense to record on it the insights she had gained from the formation dao over the past few days.
After about two hours, a knock sounded at the door, followed by a voice.
“Fellow Daoist Xu, the feast is about to begin, Third Miss has an invitation.”
“Alright.”
Xu Chuniang had already received the news of the feast and answered the call, walking up to the expansive feast platform on the second level of the cloud boat as the person outside the door guided her.
Zhan Luo and that Zhao Jindan cultivator resided in the main seat, Cheng Qingjia was placed in the first position to her lower left, and the rest of the people sat down in accordance with their cultivation levels in unspoken order.
Xu Chuniang’s cultivation level of Foundation Establishment Perfection was highly valued in the Cheng Family.
However, among the Zhan family, there were a large number of Jindan cultivators, so a perfect Foundation Establishment was not surprising.
Her position was neither good nor bad, residing in the middle of the banquet stage, neighboring Tang Chuan, who had a comparable cultivation level.
She didn’t care about this arrangement.
Around this banquet was set up by Zhan Luo for Cheng Qingjia, and the others were merely a companion.
Seeing that everyone had arrived, Zhan Luo signaled to the left and right, and then some attendants took out the delicacies and spirits that had already been prepared and served them one by one.
Xu Chuniang swept her eyes at the spiritual food on the banquet table, and in the bottom of her heart, she also sighed at the Zhan Family’s wealth and generosity.
These usually rare spirit food and fresh fruits, don’t need spirit stones to be placed all over the banquet table, allowing people to take as much as they want.
“This is …… Red Blood Jiao meat!” Tang Chuan saw the beautifully plated spirit food in front of him and sucked in his breath after recognizing it.
This Red Blood Jiao was a renowned ferocious jiao on the five islands of this southern line.
The Red Blood Jiao has a Jindan stage cultivation, not only is its body strong, but its natural water aptitude is not to be underestimated.
An idle cultivator of the same rank is simply not a match for it.
For the Zhan family, it was actually just a dish at the feast.
“Wood Fragrance Fruit, Purple Jade Belt ……”
Tang Chuan’s eyes swept over the dishes next to him, and the feeling of shock deepened within his heart.
Although the preciousness of these two spiritual substances was not as good as the Red Blood Jiao meat, they were equally valuable.
Tang Chuan had only tasted the Purple Jade Belt a few times over the many years he had been in the Cheng Family.
As for that Wood Fragrance Fruit, it was the first time he had seen it in his life.
He stopped speaking and focused on enjoying the feast.
Xu Chuniang’s eyes landed on the plate of red-blooded jiao meat, sensing the spiritual qi contained therein, but she did not move her chopsticks, only twisting up a pearl-sized Wood Fragrant Fruit and scrutinizing it.
This Wood Fragrance Fruit was light green in color, with a refreshingly strange aroma.
Although it is a second level spirit fruit, but because of the rarity, the value has always been high.
Xu Chuniang had seen the description of this Wood Fragrance Fruit on the third floor of the Cheng Family’s Book Pavilion.
The conditions for its growth are very harsh, extremely demanding of the environment, and it can only survive in a single wood aura.
Moreover, the concentration of wood aura must reach the extreme before it has a chance to ripen the Wood Fragrance Grass and bear this Wood Fragrance Fruit that contains a strange aroma.
Because she felt that the place where the Wood Fragrance Fruit grows is most likely the Jedi of Wood, that’s why she paid a little more attention to it.
Seeing that the people of the Cheng Family were shocked by the spiritual objects on the banquet stage, the Foundation Establishment Elder standing behind Zhan Luo’s face flashed with pride.
“This Wood Fragrance Fruit was sent back by my second young miss from Penglai Immortal Island. Even in the Zhan Family, not everyone is qualified to enjoy it.”
The Cheng Family’s crowd couldn’t help but clamor, “Second Miss, is she the one with outstanding talent since she was young and was personally guided there by Penglai Immortal Island?”
“I heard that on the occasion of her birth, she triggered a heaven and earth anomaly, with seven-colored auspicious clouds holding up the moon, which alerted Penglai Immortal Island!”
“Penglai Immortal Island’s conditions for recruiting disciples are very harsh, being able to let it take the initiative to guide her, it shows that the second young lady’s talent is amazing!”
Xu Chuniang listened attentively, she had come to Nansha Island for a short period of time, and this was the first time she had heard of such things.
Only when the crowd had almost finished talking did Zhan Luo speak with a calm expression.
“That’s right, this Wood Fragrance Fruit is exactly what my sister sent back a few days ago, she broke through the Jindan a while ago, and obtained this item while practicing in the clan’s secret realm.”
“Broke through Jindan? I remember that Second Miss Zhan is only eighty years old this year, right?”
“Eighty year old Golden Dan, hiss …… simply can’t dare to imagine!”
The Cheng Family’s crowd lamented, Second Miss Zhan is a true heavenly belle, born from a great family, and gained access to Penglai Immortal Island, her future is bright.
Cheng Qi couldn’t help but have his mind floating, frequently taking a look at his nephew.
Second Miss Zhan’s backing is Penglai Immortal Island, so young to have formed the Jindan, the future to become a Yuan Ying, is almost a certainty.
It’s rare that my nephew got the eye of Zhan Luo, if he got on the big tree of Zhan family, wouldn’t the crisis of Cheng family be solved?
Cheng Qingjia received a hint from his seventh uncle, and his heart was also helpless.
On one hand, he really had no idea about Third Miss Zhan, but on the other hand, it was also an indisputable fact that the Cheng Family was deteriorating.
