Hunyuan Immortal Sect

Chapter 75: Harmony

"Sister Zeng, there is a lever here. Just tap it lightly." Feng Yan stretched out her finger and touched the lever on the wooden box. The lid of the box immediately popped open, and a fragrant scent immediately came to her nose.

"Is this the Jade Fragrance Pill?" Zeng Rou picked up the pill inside and saw the purple, red, and blue colors intertwined, which was very beautiful. "How do I take this?"

"Just like other pills, you only need to swallow it."

Zeng Rou put the pill into her mouth, her throat moved slightly, and she swallowed it. Instantly, she felt a refreshing fragrance filling her mouth, and a refreshing aroma emanated from her body. "It really is fragrant all over. It's really good. No wonder Wang Qingyao likes it so much."

"Is the effect really that immediate? Let me take a look." Seeing her so happy, Xiao Ling smiled and came closer, sniffing: "It really is a fragrant aroma. By the way, Sister Zeng, I wonder who this Wang Qingyao you mentioned is? From your tone, it seems that she is an important person."

Zeng Rou whispered, "Her identity is quite extraordinary. She is the granddaughter of the Beastmaster. It is said that she is deeply loved by the master. She has been practicing at the mountain gate and rarely goes out. This time she came here to travel with us."

"I see."

Feng Yan, upon hearing this, immediately interjected, "No wonder! I was saying this person had an exceptional temperament, something truly extraordinary. Everyone else thought our sect's Jade Fragrance Pills were a bit too expensive, but she was the only one who had the foresight to recognize their value. After buying them, she not only praised them highly but also bought another thirty. I'm sure Fellow Daoist Yang Yude's subsequent purchase of a hundred was also to please her."

"Sister, you just said that one Jade Fragrance Pill can keep its fragrance for several days. Is that true?" Zeng Rou asked.

Due to the effect brought about by Wang Qingyao's noble status, she had already looked up to this thing in her heart. Now that she has taken it, the effect is immediate and obvious, so she is very satisfied with it.

"This is still of average quality. If it were of excellent quality, refined with a main ingredient that's been effective for a hundred years, the effect would be even better."

Xiao Ling laughed and said, "How can there be so many hundred-year-old miraculous medicines? I don't believe it. If it is really a hundred-year-old spiritual medicine, the spiritual medicine itself would cost more than a thousand spirit stones. How can it be sold for ten spirit stones each?"

Feng Yan immediately said, "Sister Xiao, you don't know this. There are so many hundred-year-old medicinal herbs in the world, and not all of them are magical herbs. For example, ordinary ginseng can be found in many deep mountains and old forests. Although it is not a magical herb, its effects are better than ordinary magical herbs. It is very beneficial for strengthening yang, tonifying the kidneys, and replenishing qi and blood."

"The main ingredient used in the Jade Fragrance Pill developed by our sect is the same. It is a rare medicine from the vast ocean of the Muhe Grassland. It is a secretion from a certain sea beast. It floats on the sea for dozens or even hundreds of years, gradually softening, and only then can it be used as the main ingredient."

"After softening, this medicine already has a strong fragrance. Only after adding more than a dozen other fragrant spiritual herbs can we refine the Jade Fragrance Pill."

“If not for this, how could there be such a rich and fragrant elixir in the world.”

Xiao Ling smiled and said, "Sister, you are really good at talking. You came here today, aren't you just trying to convince us to buy your medicine?"

Feng Yan also laughed and said, "A good saddle goes with a good horse. This Jade Fragrance Pill is meant for you ladies of noble status and natural beauty. Only you ladies are worthy of it. If those stupid, ugly women want to buy it, we won't sell it to them even if they want!"

"To be honest, my sect leader originally wanted to take this opportunity to give some Jade Fragrance Pills to Senior Wen of your sect as a gift, wishing her eternal youth and lasting charm. However, I was afraid that the recipient wouldn't know the value of the gift and would kick him out if he saw me trying to fool people with these things, so I didn't dare to offer it."

Everyone laughed at what they heard. If these words were spoken by a man, they would seem frivolous and glib, but when they were spoken by Feng Yan, a smart and lovely woman in her early twenties, they would not be offensive.

Zeng Rou said, "I don't care what others think. I really like this stuff. Sister, next time you come to Bianxi City, bring me ten bottles. You can also come directly to Yang Mansion to find me and tell me my name."

"Okay. I'll remember what Sister Zeng said."

The three of them talked for a while, and then someone came up from behind with a cup in hand. Feng Yan knew it was time to leave, and she pulled out a wooden box from her sleeve. "I won't bother Sister Xiao anymore. If you don't mind, please accept this Yuxiang Pill. It's a small gift from me."

Xiao Ling accepted it with a smile: "Thank you very much. There were too many people today and I didn't have time to entertain you. I will treat you well next time you come."

"Sister Xiao, Sister Zeng, I'll go first." Feng Yan walked along the left side again, passed the women sitting on both sides, and returned to her seat.

After the banquet had been going on for a while, a group of people came in, escorting two people.

The man was about forty or fifty years old, with a square face, an upright figure, a pair of sharp eyes, thick and bushy eyebrows, and a high nose bridge. At first glance, he was a very serious and unsmiling person, with a very majestic look.

The woman next to him was no more than forty years old, with a pair of peach blossom eyes, fair skin, slightly plump skin, a medium build, and the charm of a middle-aged woman.

After the two entered the hall, Xiao Ling, who was sitting at the first seat, quickly stood up to greet them.

Judging by the scene, Feng Yan guessed that this must be Luoyun Sect's headmaster, Tao Jinyuan, and his wife, Wen Yiren. Seeing the others rise one after another, she followed suit. "Thank you all for the honor of being invited to my wife's birthday celebration. My wife and I would like to offer a toast to you all. Please forgive me for the poor hospitality."

Tao Jinyuan turned around with the wine glass, drank it all in one gulp with Wen Yiren, and then left.

Xiao Lingzhi escorted the two out of the hall. Wen Yiren looked at her and said, "Ling'er, what perfume did you put on today? Why does your body smell so fragrant? I've never smelled it before."

"My aunt, this was given to me by a female cultivator who just attended the banquet. It's a new kind of elixir developed by her sect. After taking it, your whole body will be filled with fragrance. I took one, and that's why I'm like this."

"No wonder. I thought you never wore much makeup, so why are you emitting such a strange fragrance today? Okay, don't see me off. Go back to your work! Treat the guests well and keep an eye on them to make sure nothing happens."

"Yes. Aunt, uncle, take care."

After seeing them leave, Xiao Ling returned to the main hall. Passing by Feng Yan, he stopped and turned to her: "Sister Feng, do you still have the Jade Fragrance Pill?"

"Yes, what instructions do you have, Sister Xiao?"

"Just now, Auntie asked me why I smelled so good, and she seemed quite satisfied with the effect of your Jade Fragrance Pill. Keep it for me! I'll give you the spirit stones later."

"A few Jade Fragrance Pills are nothing. It's an honor for our sect that Senior Wen likes them. The Sect Master wanted to give some to Senior Wen, but was afraid she wouldn't find them useful." Feng Yan immediately pulled out a small box from her sleeve and handed it to her. "I don't have much on me, but these are the best quality pills from this batch. Please give them to Senior Wen, Sister Xiao!"

"How can this be good?"

"Although our sect is small, we are not short of a few medicinal pills. If Senior Wen finds them useful, just ask us to send as many as you want. However, we don't have that much on us right now. If Sister Xiao doesn't mind our sect, please accept them."

"Thank you very much, Sister Feng." Xiao Ling took the wooden box and returned to the main seat.

The banquet lasted for about an hour before a disciple from the Luoyun Sect came into the hall and said a few words to Xiao Ling.

"Everyone, our sect has prepared some gifts and set up a competition to celebrate the centenary of the headmaster's wife. There is no limit on gender, and anyone who is capable can participate in the competition to get prizes." Xiao Ling stood up and said loudly.

"The winner will receive a top-grade magical weapon. The second place winner will receive a high-grade magical weapon and a set of first-grade high-grade robes. The third place winner will receive a high-grade magical weapon. The fourth to sixth place winners will each receive a mid-grade magical weapon."

"If you are interested, please tell me your name."

After the words fell, no one responded, and there was only a slight chatter in the hall.

Seeing no one answer, Xiao Ling continued, "If you don't want to participate, that's fine. Our sect also has a roulette wheel tossing session. It's a matter of luck. The person who gets to the sixth place in the tossing number will also receive a different reward. There are no restrictions on men or women. If you'd like to participate, please follow this junior brother of our sect."

Now a few people expressed their willingness to participate, and then followed the disciple of Luoyun Sect.

"The roulette wheel tossing and the competition are about to begin. Those of you who wish to remain in the hall may enjoy the feast and drink at your leisure. Those who wish to watch may proceed to the second floor of the attic."

Some of the people sat in the hall and continued to feast, while others went up to the second floor of the attic.

Feng Yan was still sitting at her banquet table, because Song Xian had told her before that as long as she waited there, someone would naturally take her to Wen Yiren.

About half an hour later, most of the people in the hall had left, leaving only a few people still drinking. At this time, a man came in from outside and looked at the name tag and name on her table: "Are you Feng Yan?"

Feng Yan nodded.

"Follow me." The man led her out of the hall and came to the south attic, where she saw a group of women sitting inside, whispering to each other while looking at the people tossing roulette in the wide field below.

The positions here are arranged in a stepped manner, with the positions in the back row getting higher and higher.

The person sitting in the middle of the first row was none other than Wen Yiren.
