In eight days, Lu An appeared at the headquarters of the Tripartite Alliance three times. He didn't show up intentionally, just as usual. Occasionally, he would go to Liu Yi's office to check on her, and then leave to cultivate. In fact, Lu An was indeed cultivating. He had already learned all the information he needed. He had not cultivated for more than twenty days. Ever since he started cultivating, he had not cultivated for such a long time.
However, half of the time, he did not cultivate in the Heavenly Star River but in the Spirit Star River.
On the fifth day, Lu An went to the Spirit Star River again after Fu Yueni put on makeup. He first went to the city's Chamber of Commerce and briefly looked at the missions. Like everyone else, he checked if there were any new missions that he was interested in. After confirming that there were no missions related to the Heavenly Star River, Lu An went out of the city and left the star through the teleportation array.
Lu An did not go to the Outer Star River but to other stars in the Inner Star River that did not have cities. There were many Chambers of Commerce that sold the coordinates of such stars. Lu An did not need to buy them from the Chambers of Commerce. The detailed spatial coordinates were in the intelligence. The reason why he went to these stars was not to carry out missions but … purely to cultivate.
This was also one of the important reasons why he went to the Spirit Star River.
There was no death energy in the Outer Star River, or it was very little, so Lu An could not cultivate. If he wanted to cultivate, he had to be in the Inner Star River. There was a lot of death energy here, which was meaningful to Lu An.
Lu An knew very well that the closer he was to the core of the Star River, the stronger the death energy was. But the problem was that the inner stars were basically occupied by the top clans. Ordinary Spirit Race people could not go there at all, let alone Ferocious Beasts. Further out were occupied by the top clans. The city that Lu An went to was no longer in the core circle.
Not to mention that the star that Lu An was in did not even have a city. It was enough to show that the death energy here was thin. But even so, this was enough for Lu An. What Lu An wanted to feel was the environment of the entire Spirit Star River.
Because the Star River formed by the death energy was fundamentally different from the Heavenly Star River. They could not be compared at all. Even though he was sitting cross-legged here, Lu An could feel many different feelings.
Even when he was cultivating in the underground world of the Eight Ancient Continents in the Immortal Star, Lu An had never had such a feeling. After all, the underground world was located on an Immortal Planet. No matter how dense the power of death was, it still had a powerful Immortal Planet aura. However, this place was completely different. The power here was extremely pure.
Lu An had never stayed in an environment with only the power of death for a long time. But this time, he sat cross-legged on the star for two whole days. In these two days, he did not deliberately do anything. Instead, he simply breathed on the star, allowing the death energy in the Spirit Galaxy to be continuously absorbed into his body and expelled out.
This feeling made Lu An feel very clear.
In the process of focusing on cultivation, eight days passed very quickly. Because of the two days of cultivation in the Spirit Galaxy, Lu An felt that his realm had improved. Although the effect wasn't large and could even be ignored, this feeling of clarity could affect him for a long time, allowing his future cultivation to be smoother.
Eight days later, at the banquet of the Chamber of Commerce.
This Chamber of Commerce was only one of the Jiang Clan's businesses. However, it was one of the more important ones. Therefore, the scale of the banquet was not small. Lu An arrived at the Chamber of Commerce at the right time. The banquet was still held in the building of the Chamber of Commerce. In such a big building, there were many places to hold banquets.
Lu An arrived at the right time. After arriving at the Chamber of Commerce, he took out his token and showed it to the staff. The staff immediately led Lu An to the banquet hall. In the corridor, Lu An saw two people who were traveling with him. Without a doubt, they were also invited businessmen.
Soon, Lu An arrived at the entrance of the banquet hall. At this moment, it was very noisy inside. There were many noisy conversations and loud laughter.
Lu An stood in front of the entrance and stepped into the banquet hall.
The banquet hall was indeed very big.
This banquet hall was located on the second floor. It was about forty zhang in length and width. There were at least fifty tables inside. Even with so many tables, it was not enough to fill the entire banquet hall. It seemed a little empty.
Especially in the middle of the banquet hall, there was an empty space. Lu An did not have any doubts about the use of this empty space. This was because it was explained in the knowledge that he had learned.
This was the entertainment area of the banquet, and the most common entertainment was dancing. Heaven Realm people liked to sing and dance in social interactions. This was very different from the Heaven Star River.
Walking into the banquet hall, Lu An looked around and discovered that this place was filled with powerful auras. The invited businessmen were all Heaven Realm experts. Moreover, their strength was generally very high. Lu An could only be considered as below average. Soon, he found Jiang Mu. Jiang Mu was chatting with some people. Lu An could not disturb Jiang Mu. Otherwise, it would seem too deliberate. His gaze did not even linger on Jiang Mu. He walked alone to an empty table and sat down.
The table was already filled with delicacies. Of course, they were all delicacies from the Spirit Star River, including the wine from the Spirit Star River – Blood Wine.
The wine was red in color and was brewed from the Blood Abyss plant. Lu An had never tasted blood wine before, nor had he ever tasted the delicacies of the Spirit Race. He first pretended to have nothing to do and looked around, secretly observing how the others were eating. Only after confirming the way all the delicacies were eaten did he take action, pouring himself a cup of wine.
He was very curious about the Spirit Race's Blood Wine.
According to the intelligence, the Spirit Race's Blood Wine was a fatal poison to any life form in the Heaven Star River. Moreover, it was an extremely potent poison. After consuming it, one would die in a short period of time. The higher the concentration of the Blood Wine, the more toxic it was. And this banquet was to entertain Heaven Realm experts. Without a doubt, the concentration of the Blood Wine was especially high.
Tasting the Blood Wine, Lu An was somewhat nervous in his heart. However, the nervousness did not show on his actions. To outsiders, Lu An simply poured himself a cup of wine and drank half of it.
The Blood Wine entered his throat and flowed into his stomach. Suddenly, a strong power of death spread out from Lu An's body. With the purity of this power of death, it would be strange if the people of the Heaven Star River did not die after drinking it.
However, after Lu An drank it, there was no problem. He only felt a cool feeling appear in his body. Different from the Heaven Star River's wine, this Blood Wine did not have the taste of the Heaven Star River's wine. However, this cool feeling continued to spread. Perhaps this cool feeling was the expression of the so-called "wine."
After Lu An arrived, there were still people coming from outside. Just the number of Heaven Realm experts in this banquet hall made Lu An apprehensive. There were already more than a hundred Heaven Realm experts in this banquet hall, and this was only the strength of a first-rate clan's merchant association.
Terrifying.
The number of Heaven Realm experts in the Spirit Race greatly exceeded Lu An's imagination.
Because there were only fifty tables and more than a hundred people, it meant that there were tables that had to seat more than two people. In fact, each table was very large. Not to mention two, even ten people could sit. Lu An, who did not know anyone other than Jiang Mu, could only sit on the long bench and look at everyone here.
There were men and women. Out of every ten people, eight were men and two were women. This ratio was not considered small for women. It was much higher than the ratio of Heaven Realm experts in the sect. Because of Liu Yi's warning, Lu An paid extra attention to these women and was very vigilant in his heart.
Soon, everyone who should be here had arrived, and the banquet officially began.
Not only were the few supervisors of the merchant association present, but the president was also present. The president immediately walked out from a table and said to everyone, "Today's banquet has invited all our business partners to celebrate the gains we have made together during this period of time! The merchant association will not forget everyone's contributions and hopes to continue working with everyone! Also … to express our sincerity to everyone, the Jiang Clan's Fourth Young Master has personally come to have dinner with everyone! "
Jiang Clan's Fourth Young Master?
Lu An, who was sitting alone, looked at the man who stood up. To be called 'Jiang Clan's Fourth Young Master' meant that this person must be the son of the Jiang Clan's Patriarch. Otherwise, he would definitely not dare to call himself that.
The fact was indeed so. The person who stood up was indeed the Jiang Clan's Fourth Young Master. However, although he was called 'Young Master', his actual age was already over six hundred years old. Moreover, he already had many wives and concubines and many descendants.
