Time passed quickly and it was mid-August in the blink of an eye.
On this day, a wide platform was erected outside Scarlet Fire Island's Elixir Valley. It was decorated with lanterns and streamers, giving off a festive atmosphere.
On one side of the platform was an incense burner with a few incense sticks as thick as an arm. Green smoke curled into the clouds.
Not far from the incense burner were rows of tables and chairs.
That morning, some people were already busy.
By midnight, there were more and more people and a few Golden Cores arrived one after another.
When it was close to noon, most of the people who were supposed to come had arrived. Some guests were invited from other sects. They came to pay their respects and present their gifts. After congratulating Qin Di, who was wearing a new yellow robe, they were arranged to sit at the table.
Thereafter, two Grand Elders of Golden Core Sect, Perfected Lord Guo and Perfected Lord Tie, appeared together, causing a commotion.
Perfected Lord Guo went on stage to give a speech, praying to the heavens, comforting the seniors of the sect and welcoming the guests. After a long speech, he was about to announce the start of the banquet when something happened!
Outside the sect, a group of black-robed men arrived uninvited!
In front of them was an old man with a mountainous aura and a sinister expression. There were more than ten people behind him. There were five to six Golden Cores, two to three Foundation Establishment and one Nascent Soul Cultivator.
That Nascent Soul Cultivator was nothing much – Perfected Lord Guo could tell that he was at early-stage Nascent Soul, similar to himself. However, the same could not be said for the old man. The old man's cultivation was far above Perfected Lord Guo's. Just by standing there, he could make people retreat. In just a short while, there were only a few people left on the initially bustling platform!
Although uneasy, Perfected Lord Guo could only welcome him.
"Welcome, senior. Today is Golden Core Sect's celebration. Qin Xingdi has become a Golden Core. This is a joyous occasion for our sect. Please take a seat and have a drink with everyone else. It's a good opportunity to get to know each other. "
The old man's sharp gaze swept across everyone's faces. He put on a fake smile and let out a dry, cold laugh. "Haha, this old man is Pu Xinglong. I've recently established the 'Black Pine Sect' in the Blackwater Continent. Today is a joyous occasion, and I've come to meet fellow Daoists. It can also be considered as me showing my face in front of the younger generation."
Guo Zhenjun had been in Northern Plains for a long time, he did not know much about the situation around him, thus he did not know who the other party was.
Sect Leader Zhenren Li knew that the other party might be that Supreme Bu Xu, so he hurried over and said, "Welcome, Senior Pu! Please take a seat at the front desk! "
Pu Xinglong laughed and said, "There's no need to sit. Today, this old man is here to show my face, and at the same time, I have a small matter to ask for everyone's help. "
Zhenren Li asked, "Senior, please go ahead. What can we discuss?"
A sinister smile appeared on Pu Xinglong's face as he said, "I settled down in the Blackwater Continent, but I discovered that the Spirit Veins on the Blackwater Continent had disappeared, so I wanted to borrow two large Spirit Veins from the Golden Pill Sect. I believe that the Golden Pill Sect has a large business and wouldn't mind, right?"
As soon as he said that, the surrounding people knew that there was no way to resolve this matter peacefully! They all stood up straight and stared at this group of people with wide eyes.
Zhenren Li said, "Senior, your request is a little excessive. Our Jindan Sect doesn't have any extra spirit veins. How can we lend them to your sect? Senior, please change your request. If our Golden Pill Sect can bear it, we will certainly not decline. "
A dry voice came out of Pu Xinglong's mouth. "Huh? You can't even satisfy my first request. Aren't you giving me too much face? " As he spoke, his eyes shone with a cold light and his whole body emitted a pressure, forcing Zhenren Li to retreat step by step from the center of the platform to the side, almost rolling off the platform.
The young disciples waiting below all felt an invisible pressure and were even pressed to the ground. Their hearts were filled with hatred and fear, but they couldn't do anything.
The Grand Supreme Elder, Perfected Lord Guo, took a step forward and said, "Senior Pu, please don't go too far!"
Perfected Lord Tie also stepped forward and stood next to Perfected Lord Guo, saying angrily, "Senior Pu, where are you from? Why did you come here and make life difficult for our Golden Pill Sect? "
Before Pu Xinglong could speak, the young Nascent Soul cultivator standing behind him said, "Haha, my father is Perfected Lord Bu Xu, a powerful cultivator. He personally came to congratulate a small Golden Core cultivator and gave you a lot of face. You should have taken out three to five large Spirit Veins as a gift! But when I asked you for two Spirit Veins, you actually refused! Isn't your Golden Pill Sect afraid of being annihilated? "
True Monarch Guo said in a deep voice, "True Monarch coming to bully us like this is forcing our Golden Pill Sect to die in glory rather than live in dishonor!" As he spoke, he took out a first-stage flying sword and was ready to make a move.
Perfected Lord Tie and the group of Golden Core cultivators all took out their weapons with grim expressions. Even if they had to fight to the death, they wouldn't back down.
Qin Di looked at the scene in front of him, his master Lan Xingchang, Miao Yunjuan, Zhuang Yunqing, and the others who were standing not far away, and his own disciples were all present. His grandfather and third uncle were also not far away, and he thought to himself, "We can't fight this battle! If we fight, with Perfected Lord Bu Xu's power, I don't know if even half of these people can escape. They're all close relatives, and losing even one of them is a great loss! "
Thus, a burst of loud laughter suddenly came from the platform. "Hey, Grandmaster, Master, Senior Brothers and Senior Sisters, put away your weapons! Senior Pu came to Golden Pill Sect to congratulate me, he's giving me a lot of face! This is a good thing, a good thing! I, Qin Tiandi, will take care of the two Spirit Veins! No problem, leave it to me! "
As soon as he said that, everyone on and below the platform was silent.
Some people were resentful and couldn't understand, and they raised their heads and glared at Qin Di.
Only the few Spiritual Masters and the Grand Supreme Elders understood that this battle would be disastrous. It would be best not to fight if they could avoid it.
Laughter sounded continuously. "Senior Pu, Senior Pu, calm down, I'll take care of the two large ones! Whether it's stealing or robbing, I'll lead them over to Black Water Continent in three months, how about it? Please take a seat and have a cup of immortal wine before you leave! "
Pu Xinglong's eyes stared at him, releasing a boundless pressure. Seeing Qin Di take a few steps back, Pu Xinglong laughed, "That's easy! Young people know how to adapt to circumstances! I won't go too far! I won't make things difficult for Golden Pill Sect! Actually, I'm not only here to say this to Golden Pill Sect, the other major sects, Heavenly Talisman Sect, Great Evolution Sect, and Celestial Artifact Sect have people here too. Go back and tell the sect masters that I want to take two large Spirit Veins from each sect, and if I can't get them, I, Pu Perfected Lord, will personally visit each sect one by one! "
The people standing at the side of the platform all had expressions of grief and indignation, but due to the pressure, they didn't dare to refute on the spot.
Pu Xinglong looked around, then grabbed an incense burner that would take several people to wrap their arms around it, and squeezed it into an iron ball. Then, with a wave of his hand, the iron ball was thrown into the Tongtian River hundreds of miles away!
