After hearing Zhang Tie's words, Elder Mo Qi of Immortal Fist Position Sect felt like Zhang Tie was standing in front of him, bending over and touching his head kindly.
Although Zhang Tie's words were "praise", Elder Mo Qi of Immortal Fist Position Sect blushed at once; especially those onlookers who couldn't help laughing, Elder Mo Qi felt that he had become a clown at a stroke …
"Fire Dragon Hermit, you..." Elder Mo Qi sprung up at once as he watched Zhang Tie with a blush. He wanted to lose his temper and criticize Zhang Tie; however, he found that he didn't have any reason or excuse to lose his temper. Therefore, he almost suffered an internal injury. Given the difference in body size and ranks, Elder Mo Qi was evidently "small".
"What else do you want to say, Elder Mo Qi?" Zhang Tie watched Elder Mo Qi with a smile.
Elder Mo Qi threw a glance at Nangong Sheng on his side.
"Take a seat!" Nangong Sheng moved his body for a short while with a fake smile as he said in a hoarse voice, "We're guests from afar. Let's see how Fire Dragon Hermit plays this game. All of you are elders and masters of clans and sects. You must have seen all kinds of scenes. I believe that Fire Dragon Hermit is not joking with you. If Fire Dragon Hermit really dares to make fun of the heroes in the three provinces within the territory of Northeast Military Region, we will deal with him then!"
Nangong Sheng just wanted to see how Zhang Tie would make a fool of himself. In his opinion, all the onlookers at present had seen all kinds of scenes. It was the opening ceremony of a sect. Although there was no fixed pattern for opening ceremonies in Taixia Country, the more solemn it was, the better it would be. However, Zhang Tie used such an unconventional trick like smashing golden eggs to draw a prize. What a joke! Nangong Sheng just wanted to see Zhang Tie make a fool of himself. When the others felt embarrassed, he would seize the opportunity to launch an attack. By then, fewer people would like to speak for Zhang Tie.
Of course, Zhang Tie knew what Nangong Sheng was thinking about. After hearing Nangong Sheng's words, Zhang Tie revealed a smile as he asked Elder Mo Qi out of curiosity, "Elder Mo Qi, the one in colorful clothes who looks like singing a drama is..."
All the onlookers almost burst out into laughter. With weird looks, they felt that Fire Dragon Hermit was really good at using words. As a result, you couldn't lose your temper even if you wanted to...
'Dressed in colorful clothes who looks like singing a drama? ' After hearing Zhang Tie's words, Nangong Sheng's face turned black as he felt suffocated at once. At the same time, his hand which was stroking his beard became stiff at once. Before Elder Mo Qi opened his mouth, Nangong Sheng had answered Zhang Tie with a gloomy look, "I'm Nangong Sheng, the master of Immortal Fist Position Sect in Yanzhou Province!"
"Hah, it's Master Nangong of Immortal Fist Position Sect. Sorry for my disrespect. Now that Master Nangong wants to take a look at this game, I will show my disrespect to you!" After saying that, Zhang Tie clapped his hands twice. Closely after that, the servants of Wang Clan who had long been prepared outside entered the venue with rows of 4-wheeled carts.
The servants of the Wang Family pushed the cart very carefully. The things on the cart were fixed to the cart. They were very big, with a diameter of more than one to two meters. They were covered with a layer of red silk. From the outline of the red silk, people could see that the things under the red silk should be round spheres.
Watching these items being pushed into the venue of the opening ceremony, all the onlookers became dumbfounded as they exchanged glances with each other, 'Does Fire Dragon Hermit really want us to smash golden eggs? That's... that's too... ridiculous...'
As all the onlookers at present had high positions, those knight-level elders were thinking, 'If Fire Dragon Hermit really wants to play such a childish trick, do we have to follow him on the stage?'
Nangong Sheng revealed a faint sneer as he even swore inside, 'It's said that Fire Dragon Hermit was born in a small clan in Yongzhou Province. His family doesn't have a deep background. He could barely be a small rich clan in the countryside. He has not seen too much of the world. He just got the "Fire Dragon Sutra" out of sheer luck. What he presented is really not good at all...'
"Elder Muyu, what do you think Fire Dragon Hermit is going to do?"
Zhu Elder asked Elder Muyu in a secret way. Zhu Clan and Zhang Clan were going to unite by marriage. Zhu Dabiao, the grandson of the provincial governor of Yanzhou Province, was going to marry the granddaughter of Elder Muray of Huaiyuan Palace. Zhang Yang, the representative of Zhang Clan in Jinwu City, was going to marry a junior of Zhu Elder. Because of this relationship, the elders of Zhu Clan and Zhang Clan in Jinwu City were getting closer to each other. Additionally, the provincial governor of Yanzhou Province wanted to write a memorial letter to redress Zhang Tie's injustice after the event in Zhongzhou Province.
It was very normal for such a big clan to unite by marriage in Taixia Country. Even though it was not for the naked exchange of interests, it could also lubricate the relationship between big clans. As they were a family, it would be more convenient for them to talk with each other. In the beginning, only one or two marriages were a piece of cake. For those big families with hundreds of thousands or even millions of people, if it was confirmed that the relationship between the two parties would deepen, then it wouldn't just be one or two marriages. It might even be ten or twenty, or even one or two hundred in a row. Marriage could not only deepen the relationship between the two parties, but it was also valued by the elders of the various clans. Through marriage, they could exchange the genes of the ancestors of the various clans, so that the descendants of the various clans could be more outstanding.
"I don't think Fire Dragon Hermit is a reckless person. Let's wait and see. If he really wants to play the game of smashing golden eggs, we don't need to do it anymore. Just let the younger generation disciples of our clan try it..."
"Hoho, you're right, Elder Muyu..."
At this moment, many knights and elders were whispering to each other using battle qi. However, superficially, they still didn't say anything; instead, they just watched Zhang Tie elegantly. Meanwhile, they were guessing what the "golden eggs" under those red ribbons were.
There were 18 carts in total. After being pushed in, they formed a circle in the center of the venue. After that, the servants of Wang Clan left, leaving one servant beside each cart. Zhang Tie then stood in the center of the venue once again by pulling the ropes on the red ribbons.
"As this old Cui has just come back from the Earth-elements Realm, I don't have any good items. I only got some local specialties in the Earth-elements Realm by chance. I would like to share them with you. As the quantity is limited, I could not take care of each of you. Here are 18 golden eggs. Those clans and sects who have received this old Cui's golden invitation could assign someone to draw a prize here. There's a number on the golden eggs. Whoever draws the number would own the golden egg. You could take it back and smash it. Even if you don't smash it, you could keep the golden egg at home and make a geomancy ball. From then on, we will be neighbors. You will gradually know this old Cui. Although this old Cui dared not call himself a gentleman, this old Cui would never do harm to others for my own benefit..."
After saying these words, Zhang Tie waved his hand. The servants of Wang Clan immediately pulled off the red ribbons covering the balls, large or small, on the carts, revealing the golden eggs under the red ribbons. At the same time, all the others at present froze with dumbfounded looks...
The 18 "golden eggs" were 18 secret pearls of different sizes and colors. These secret pearls were giving out brilliant luster which was like gold or jade. Under the sunshine in the morning, they looked pretty brilliant and had a reflection effect similar to that of a cat's eye gemstone. The 18 secret pearls were in different colors. The moment they were pulled off, they had given out brilliant luster which included red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue and purple, rendering the surrounding 100 m colorful. At the same time, the curious or disdainful looks of those at present were frozen...
The secret pearls in the Earth-elements Realm could barely see the sunlight for hundreds of millions of years. However, under the sunlight, each secret pearl was as brilliant as the most beautiful gemstone and could give out bizarre luster...
"Huala!" Zhu Elder sprung up at once as he widely opened his eyes and watched those "golden eggs" with an unbelievable look. Even his voice started to quiver, "These... these are... secret pearls which might contain silver secret items in the Earth-elements Realm..."
"Hoho, Zhu Elder is really knowledgeable. These golden eggs are the secret pearls that this old Cui brought from the Earth-elements Realm. I would like to show some of them to you. It could be regarded as the good luck of the opening ceremony of our Iron-Dragon Sect. Thanks for your respect for this old Cui..." Zhang Tie said calmly.
'What? Secret pearls? ' The moment Zhang Tie finished his words, all the knight elders, clan heads and sect heads had sprung up as they wanted to take a look at those pearls of secret items.
At least half of the knights in Taixia Country, especially black iron knights had not seen pearls of secret items. As for the rest half of the knights who had seen pearls of secret items, they might not have seen pearls of secret items in such a large quantity on such an occasion.
However, everybody was clear about the meaning of secret pearls. There might be a precious silver secret item on the back of each secret pearl...
As for those at present, they had not even heard of a rich person who could take out so many secret pearls as a wager, not to mention seeing one... (To be continued).
