Su Mo ignored Qiu Yuanshan and stood quietly at the back.
Qiu Yuanshan sized Su Mo up and did not do anything. He did not dare to cause trouble on such an occasion.
As time passed, more and more elders brought their disciples to the square in the backyard.
The square became livelier and livelier, and the sounds of chatter and laughter filled the air.
Su Mo also heard a lot of interesting things, such as where there were treasures and dangerous places in the territory of the Ancient Cloud Star Alliance.
Su Mo realized that these elders who came to attend the birthday banquet had very high cultivations. He estimated that the lowest cultivation level was at the Late-stage of the Top Realm. Of course, his strength was too low to determine their exact realms.
Not long after, the long seats were almost full. Only a dozen or so seats at the very front were unoccupied.
Obviously, these were the seats of the Chief Elders of the other branches.
After another hour or so, a large group of people strode over from the entrance of the backyard.
There were at least 40 to 50 people in this group, led by two elders. One of them wore a long gray robe and looked solemn. It was Jin Wushang.
The other elder wore a long red robe and had a strong build. His face was slightly withered and his hair was a little white. He must be Taoist Tian Hua.
Beside the two of them were dozens of experts. Some of them looked old, while others looked middle-aged. They must be the Chief Elders of the other branches.
Behind the group of elders, there were more than 30 young men and women. They were Jin Wushang's disciples, Lin Ya, Ling Chang, and Taoist Tian Hua's disciple, Chang Yi.
The other young men and women all had an extraordinary aura and looked talented. They must be the disciples of the other branch elders.
What surprised Su Mo was that Xiao Yushu was also among this group of people, walking at the back.
Seeing Taoist Tian Hua and Jin Wushang arrive, the elders of the Tai Sheng branch in the square all stood up.
"Greetings, Elder Tian Hua! Greetings, Elder Jin Wushang! "
"Greetings, Elder Tian Hua! Greetings, Elder Jin Wushang! "
"Greetings, Elder Tian Hua! Greetings, Elder Jin Wushang! "
The crowd bowed to Taoist Tian Hua and Jin Wushang. In the Tai Sheng branch, these two were the leaders.
Of course, everyone was obviously more respectful to Taoist Tian Hua.
This was not to say that Jin Wushang's position was lower than Taoist Tian Hua's, but in Tai Sheng branch, there were actually different factions.
A portion of the elders respected Daoist Tianhua, while the others respected Jin Supreme. This was Daoist Tianhua's birthday banquet, so the elders who came were naturally Daoist Tianhua's trusted aides.
"Haha! Thank you for coming to my birthday banquet. Please, everyone, take a seat! "
Daoist Tianhua, who was dressed in a red robe, looked extremely joyous. He waved his hand and gestured for everyone to take their seats.
Afterward, Daoist Tianhua arranged for Honored Jin and the chief elders of the other branches to take their seats at the front of the hall.
The main seats were in the center. The main seats were the main seats.
As the main character of the birthday banquet, Daoist Tianhua naturally wouldn't give way and sat on the main seat.
Ling Chang, who was standing behind Jin Wushang, had already seen Su Mo. She nodded at Su Mo and Su Mo responded with a smile.
Ling Chang, who was standing behind Jin Wushang, had already seen Su Mo. She nodded to Su Mo and Su Mo smiled back.
Su Mo was puzzled. Wasn't Xiao Yushang chased out of the sect? Why was he here today?
Moreover, he was standing behind Jin Wushang. It was obvious that he had Jin Wushang's permission.
In the square.
After the elders had taken their seats, they congratulated Taoist Tian Hua and presented their gifts.
Even the First Elders of the other branches presented their gifts. Since they had come to the birthday banquet, they naturally could not come empty-handed.
In a short while, Taoist Tian Hua had earned a lot of money and a bright smile hung on his face.
"So many treasures!"
Su Mo was envious. The gifts that these elders had given him were of all kinds and many of them were things that he had never seen or heard of before.
No wonder!
Su Mo smiled bitterly in his heart. No wonder an expert of this level would hold a birthday banquet that only mortals would hold. These congratulatory gifts were probably his motive.
If the gifts were too poor, the elders would not be able to take them out.
After presenting the gifts, Taoist Tian Hua and the other elders chatted and toasted with each other. It was a lively scene.
Under Taoist Tian Hua's instructions, a servant brought out plates of strange Spiritual Fruits. The elders enjoyed them as they chatted.
Soon, it was noon.
At that moment, a middle-aged man in a luxurious robe stood up. He cupped his fists at Taoist Tian Hua and said, "Elder Tian Hua, I have brought my disciple here. My disciple has always wanted to learn from the genius of the Tai Sheng branch. Is that possible?"
The moment he said that, the crowd quietened down. The elders of the other branches had brought their disciples with them.
It was obvious that they had brought their disciples here. They wanted to suppress the Tai Sheng branch.
They had presented expensive gifts and it was impossible for Taoist Tian Hua to enjoy them. They had to make things difficult for him.
Furthermore, in this kind of occasion, whoever's disciple was the most outstanding would also gain a lot of face as the master's disciple.
"Haha, Elder Zheng Lou, of course you can. A fight between the younger generation will make the birthday banquet more festive!" Taoist Tian Hua said with a smile. He could not reject such a request. Otherwise, it would weaken the momentum of the Tai Sheng branch.
After saying that, Elder Tianhua glanced at Jin Wushang and communicated with him silently.
They knew that the Chief Elders of the other branches would do something like this, so they had already prepared for it.
Although Jin Wushang and Jin Wushang were usually not on the same side, they would definitely work together to deal with such matters.
"Haha, Elder Tian Hua, a fight between the younger generation cannot be without a prize. You and Jin Wushang can't go back on your words!" An old lady in a dark purple robe said.
"Haha, I can afford to lose!" Taoist Tian Hua said with a smile. However, there was a hint of seriousness in the depths of his eyes.
This was because a fight like this had great stakes. If his disciples were not good enough, he would not dare to do so.
For example, a few hundred years ago, there had been a fight between a branch and another branch. The branch had been left with only one city and the ownership of the star it was on had been lost.
In the end, that branch had completely fallen and merged with the other branches before disappearing.
The headquarters of the alliance would not interfere in such matters. As long as the branches did not start a war or chaos, merging with each other was normal.
Elder Jin Wushang sighed softly. He had a heavy heart regarding this fight. After all, it was very likely that the foundation of the Tai Sheng branch would be affected.
Therefore, he had brought Xiao Yushu along this time. It could be considered as an additional help.
"If that's the case, Elder Tian Hua, please arrange a place!" an elder said loudly.
"Haha, it has already been arranged!"
Taoist Tian Hua smiled and waved his sleeves. Suddenly, the sky and earth on the square changed and the stars moved.
The square disappeared!
A large number of buildings in the Tian Hua Prefecture also disappeared!
Everyone and all the elders arrived in a void. It was bright and extremely spacious.
"Everyone, this is a space formed by arrays. It is a thousand times stronger than the outside world. It is suitable for the younger generation to fight!" Taoist Tian Hua said with a smile.
When the elders saw this, they nodded their heads slightly.
Swoosh!
Right at that moment, a young man in a white shirt flew out from behind Elder Zheng Lou and stopped ten miles away.
"I am Feng Yifei of the Spirit Star branch. I am of Upper Rank Eight Cultivation. I wonder which disciple of the Tai Sheng branch is willing to spar with me!" The young man in a white shirt looked old-fashioned and his eyes flashed like lightning. He looked arrogantly at the many disciples of the Tai Sheng branch and had a domineering aura.
When they heard this person's words, many disciples of the Tai Sheng branch were filled with fighting spirit.
These people were all disciples of the elders and all of them were geniuses. Their strength was not to be underestimated.
Su Mo looked at all of this quietly. He would find an opportunity to attack, but it was obviously not the time now. Ling Chang, who was of Upper Rank Eight Cultivation, could attack.
"Elder Zheng Lou, why don't we first decide on the prize?" Elder Jin Wushang said.
"Prize?"
Elder Zheng Lou fell silent for a while before he smiled and said, "A large Upper Dawn Stone Mine. What do you all think?"
When the group of elders of the Tai Sheng branch heard this, they were secretly shocked. This person had a big appetite.
There were no top-grade Origin Stone veins on the Tai Sheng Planet. There were only three large-scale high-grade Origin Stone veins, and each one was extremely important to the Tai Sheng branch. The wager was actually on a large-scale Origin Stone vein?
Taoist Tian Hua and Elder Jin Wushang looked at each other. They both understood that the people of the other branches were after something big.
"Sure!" Elder Jin Wushang nodded his head.
"Elders, you have brought many disciples with you. Our Tai Sheng branch also has many disciples. If there is a prize for every match, I am afraid that our Tai Sheng branch cannot afford it. How about this, there will be a prize for every match of Cultivation Rank. What do you all think?" Taoist Tian Hua said in a clear voice.
There were so many disciples present. If there was a prize for every match, they really could not afford to lose.
However, if there was only one prize for every Cultivation Rank, that would be fine.
For example, no matter how many rounds of sparring, only the most invincible person would be considered the winner of the Eighth Rank Advanced Cultivation Base.
"Sure!" The elders of the other branches looked at each other and nodded their heads. Naturally, they could not force anything.
"Alright!"
Taoist Tian Hua nodded his head and said, "If that's the case, then the prize for the matches of Advanced Rank 8 cultivators will be a large Dawn Stone Mine."
Then, he looked around at the many disciples of the Tai Sheng branch and said in a clear voice, "Who is willing to go up? If you win, I will give you a Golden Phoenix Qinghong Pill."
As soon as he said that, the eyes of all the disciples of the Tai Sheng branch lit up.
The Golden Phoenix Qinghong Pill was not an ordinary item. It could help to strengthen the foundation of one's cultivation base and speed up one's cultivation.
For example, an ordinary Advanced Rank 8 martial artist would need 50 years to break through to the Ninth Rank. However, after consuming this pill, it would only take 20 years.
For a martial artist that normally needed 10 years to break through to the Ninth Rank, after consuming this pill, it would only take three years.
In short, it could greatly reduce the time needed for martial artists below the Godly King level to settle down.
"Golden Phoenix Qinghong Pill!" Su Mo murmured to himself. He had never heard of this pill. However, since it was given by Taoist Tian Hua, it must be extraordinary.
First, set a small goal. For example, one second.
