For some people, Clove's choice was the most important turning point in their lives.
However, in the eyes of Clove, Shen Yi, and the others, it was only the first step in guiding civilization.
"Everyone."
A loud voice suddenly sounded. It was Gu Yan standing in front of everyone.
"Since you were chosen by Senior Clove, you must have some skills. There's no need to belittle yourself. Today's discussion is about the future of the mortal world. It's also an unprecedented opportunity for all of you. I hope that all of you can make good use of it."
"We won't let you down." Some people cupped their hands and said in unison.
"Next, I'll give you two hours to interact with each other," Gu Yan said again.
As soon as he finished speaking, the surrounding golden trees suddenly started to change shape.
The branches kept growing and extending. In this place, they actually intertwined and transformed into extremely exquisite dining tables. Countless delicacies and wine appeared out of thin air from these dining tables.
Everyone widened their eyes in shock.
They were completely shocked by this magical scene.
These were the "transformations" of Shen Yi's witchcraft. It was truly a modern style.
Of course, it was far from the level of the gourmet world. It was only the ingredients and recipes.
However, for these people, it was already extravagant and exquisite to an unimaginable level.
Not to mention the craftsmen and blacksmiths.
Even Li Shimin was a little dumbfounded at this moment. He even trembled as he looked at everything around him. It was like Granny Liu entering the Grand View Garden.
It was dazzling and too much for the eyes to take in.
Even if it was just an ordinary crystal cup, not to mention that it was sparkling and translucent, there was actually a carving of a giant dragon carved on it. It was lifelike, and every scale was extremely detailed.
Not to mention those silver utensils and delicacies that looked, smelled, and tasted good.
Kui treasures. Any random item was an unimaginable Kui treasure!
Even Li Shimin's breathing seemed to have stopped. This scene had a strong impact on his soul as an emperor. Even King Zhou of the past, who was full of wine and meat, couldn't possibly have seen such an extremely luxurious scene!
"This, could this be an immortal seat?"
Someone at the side had already let out a trembling voice. It was Zhangsun Wuji.
Obviously, Li Shimin wasn't the only one who was shocked.
Extreme luxury could always give the most direct and violent impact to one's soul.
"These are only mortal feasts." Seeming to have heard Zhangsun Wuji's words, Gu Yan's voice sounded out once more. "The celestial seats aren't something that mortals can easily bear. Senior Clove said that there's no Emperor, Prime Minister, or servants in this banquet. All of you are scholars, and those who perform outstandingly will be able to obtain a cup of celestial wine. If mortals drink it, their lifespan will be extended."
His last sentence immediately caused a series of heavy breathing sounds to be heard.
Immortal wine! It could prolong one's life!
No one doubted Gu Yan's words. Look at these treasures that were like treasures. Even if it was only a cup of immortal wine, it would definitely be an indescribably precious treasure to mortals! It was far superior to any Heavenly Material or Earthly Treasure!
Some people felt like they were in a dream.
Previously, they had only witnessed the strength of Immortals and their supernatural powers. But now, they truly felt the weight of the words "Immortal Fate".
Even if an immortal casually gave it to him.
To them, it would bring unimaginable benefits!
"Yes, Fairy."
Li Shimin was the first to cup his hands and say. Even with his shrewdness, it was difficult to hide his excitement at this time.
Gu Yan nodded and directly left.
He had already spoken for two hours. Next, it was time for these people to discuss among themselves.
Organizing this banquet was actually a suggestion given by Clove.
Firstly, this discussion about knowledge could possibly last for a very long time. Secondly, it was to use a more intense atmosphere to break down the barriers between classes to a certain extent.
After all, at this level of banquet, even the Emperor's performance might not be any better than ordinary craftsmen. It was an unprecedented experience.
Of course, there was still a difference.
While those craftsmen were still trembling and kneeling on the ground, Li Shimin had already picked up a cup of golden beer.
There was also wheat wine in this era, but the tiny bubbles that were constantly jumping in this cup was something that had never been seen before.
It was just a small sip.
"Hiss —" Li Shimin's face was filled with shock.
This kind of mellow sweetness and alcohol taste, together with the sourness from the impact of the carbonation, was enough to make the taste buds of people in this era explode.
"I was born in a wealthy family, but I didn't expect to only know what good wine is until today," Li Shimin said with a sigh.
Compared with this cup of wine in his hand, what he drank before didn't deserve to be called wine at all.
Fang Xuanling also came over with a cup of wine and said, "In the past, Zhuangzi and his disciples said that the frog in the well can't talk about the sea and the void. We are like frogs at the bottom of the well to the Immortals. The Immortals are afraid that this banquet will teach us the vastness of the earth and the vastness of the sky, so we should stay humble and wait. "
Li Shimin was silent for a moment, then he couldn't help but nod and sigh, "That's true."
Obviously, some people had already vaguely guessed the purpose of this banquet.
This was to tell them.
At the Immortals' banquet, whether it was the Emperor, the aristocratic family, or the prime minister, they were all just frogs at the bottom of the well.
In addition, Gu Yan had just said that there was no Emperor here, only scholars.
Their attitude was clear at a glance.
Li Shimin also really put away his posture as the Emperor.
He turned his head to look.
Suddenly, he saw an old man in cloth who also began to taste the food at the table. Beside him was a man and a woman, both in cloth clothes. Li Shimin's eyes couldn't help but brighten.
Dressed in cloth, they were so bold.
He directly walked over.
"Old man, how should I address you?" After Li Shimin became the Emperor, he rarely had such an amiable expression.
When the old man turned his head, he was obviously startled and subconsciously wanted to kneel.
But he was immediately stopped by Li Shimin's hand.
"Don't embarrass me, the Immortal has already given the order, there is no Emperor here."
"This commoner …" The old man's face turned red, but he didn't insist in the end, but still said respectfully, "This commoner's surname is Gongshu, and my name is Gongshu Xing."
"Gongshu?" Li Shimin was startled and quickly asked, "Is it the Gongshu family?"
Gongshu Zi was Lu Ban.
During the Warring States period, the Gongshu family was also a famous aristocratic family.
But now, there was no trace of them.
He didn't expect that the old man in front of him would call himself Gongshu.
"Yes." Gongshu Xing's face was even more ashamed. He cupped his hands and said, "This unfilial descendant is really against the name of the ancestors."
"That's not right." Li Shimin shook his head repeatedly. "Today, since you were chosen by the Immortal, it is enough to prove that you are all heroes of the age, worthy of the name Gongshu Zi … If I had known that the Gongshu family was still alive, I would have treated you with a high official title."
