The immortals of the two worlds started from farming and refining pills.

Chapter 335: Second-order Dao Body, Those who are willing to take the bait (Happy National Day)

Generally speaking, a newly promoted Jindan Zhenren will hold two banquets after he has passed the tribulation.

One was when the tribulation was over, and he invited clansmen, disciples, and fellow observers to hold a small banquet to celebrate the successful formation of the elixir.

The second time was one month after he had transcended the tribulation, when he invited many Jindan Zhenren and their disciples to discuss the mysteries of the Tao and to divide up their spheres of influence.

Sang Yuwan’s celebration this time was naturally the former small banquet.

The Sang family was well prepared, and soon someone brought over a cushion and a jade table, placed delicacies and fine wine on them, and invited everyone to take a seat.

Sang Yuwan sat down on the throne in the center of the hall, and on his left sat Xuan Gong Zhenren Gu Yi.

Below Gu Yi were a group of foundation-building cultivators, most of whom were from outside the territory of Xuefeng Lake.

To the right of Sang Yuwan should be the newly promoted third-level spiritual dragon, the two-winged dragon snake named "Ao She".

But at Sang Yuwan's invitation and Ao She's push, Li Qing sat in that position.

Further down were Ao She, Niu Xinjing, Ao Lan, and a group of foundation-building cultivators who were on good terms with the Sang family of Yanglong Lake and Sang Yuwan himself.

"Everyone, drink this cup to its full potential!" Sang Yuwan laughed loudly and raised the golden cup in his hand.

Everyone in the hall raised their glasses immediately and said, "Congratulations to Brother Sang (Daoist, Senior)!"

The wine in the cup was the dragon's blood wine that Li Qing had tasted before.

But compared to the previous deep blood red color, this time the dragon blood wine seemed to have returned to its original state, as clear as an ice mirror, and it only smelled lightly of wine.

Li Qing drank it all in one gulp. At first, he felt it was refreshing, like sipping sweet rain, but soon a warm current flowed down from his mouth and into his stomach.

This heat flow is not like a raging fire, but rather like a trickle of hot spring, nourishing people invisibly.

Li Qing's Qi and blood were activated, slowly nourishing his Taoist body, allowing him to vaguely touch the threshold of the second stage of body refining.

An idea suddenly flashed through his mind: "Hey! This wine tastes a bit like the first glass of wine I tasted in Canglang Water Palace."

As he was savoring the memory, he heard Master Gu Yi from the opposite side sigh.

"Fellow Daoist Sang's dragon blood wine is an innovation that has reached the third level. In time, you will have a place in the market share of the spiritual wine of the Great Zhou Kingdom."

Sang Yuwan was not being modest: "Since you like it, why not take two jars with you when you go back and give them to other Taoists in Xuan Palace so that they can have a taste too!"

Li Qing suddenly understood: "I was wondering why this dragon blood wine has such extraordinary effects? It turns out that Brother Dao's winemaking skills have reached the third level."

Sang Yuwan smiled and said, "It was a fluke, so there isn't much left. My skills are not yet perfect, so I can't be considered a third-level spirit wine master. But at least I have a glimpse of the way."

The rest of the people present complimented him again.

After all, there is a big difference between a simple Jindan Zhenren and a Jindan Zhenren who has mastered the third-level skills.

The former only consumes high-level resources, while the latter can produce high-level resources externally, which plays an extremely good role in promoting the construction of a good industrial ecology.

After tasting the dragon blood wine, of course, you can’t miss the full dragon banquet of the Sang family in Yanglonghu.

Stir-fried dragon liver, dragon blood tofu, roasted dragon heart, stewed dragon eggs...

The dragon seeds that are specially cultivated as food ingredients are cooked by the spiritual chef with excellent techniques into delicious delicacies that will leave you with an unforgettable aftertaste.

Li Qing tasted them one by one and felt that Lingchu's cooking skills had not improved as much as Sang Yuwan's, but had suddenly improved.

But the quality of the ingredients should be slightly better than before, and they taste very fresh.

Li Qing’s favorite is the roasted dragon heart.

This is made from a whole dragon heart, placed on a spiritual fire, and slowly roasted over a low heat for three days and three nights.

The skin is golden and crispy, and the dragon meat is chewy when you take a bite. The gravy inside is like honey, which is fresh and delicious.

This gravy is of the same origin as the dragon's blood wine, adding fuel to Li Qing's energy and blood.

"Huff, huff, huff..." The air surged around him.

Suddenly, a stream of qi and blood rushed out from his Guanyuan acupoint, went up along the dragon's spine, and finally gushed out on top of his head.

The energy and blood turned into wolf smoke, condensed and not dispersed, rising into the sky. Although it was blocked by the dome of the Crystal Palace, it was still shocking.

"Level 2 physical cultivation?" Niu Xinjing, who had done the job, could not help but be surprised, "Brother Sang's Dragon Feast actually has such a miraculous use?"

Sang Yuwan was also slightly surprised: "How could it be that my Dragon Feast is magical? It's just that Brother Li Daoist has accumulated a lot of experience and finally made the final move."

Li Qing quickly took the Qi and blood back into his body. He felt that his body had become dozens of times stronger and his strength had increased immeasurably.

He calmed himself down, stood up, and bowed slightly to Sang Yuwan: "Thank you, Brother Dao, for the dragon blood wine and the dragon feast. They helped me break through my physical cultivation."

Sang Yuwan smiled and congratulated: "Why are you and I so polite?"

Upon hearing this, the eyes of the other foundation-building cultivators present moved slightly, and they wondered whether they should try to order a table like this from the Sang family in Yanglong Lake every year.

With Li Qing's breakthrough in public, everyone was willing to take a chance even if Sang Yuwan was very humble.

Although simply by nourishing the Tao body, one can break through the second level of body refining, unlike regular physical cultivation, which can obtain minor body refining supernatural powers and use physical cultivation methods, the increase in the strength of the foundation-building cultivator is limited.

However, when the Tao body is sublimated, all hidden injuries existing in the physical body will also be compensated.

Many foundation-building monks find it difficult to live to their 300-year lifespan because their Taoist bodies are damaged.

The second-level body refining can help foundation-building cultivators suffer less in their later years by "finding gaps and filling them up", thus allowing them to live out their years in peace.

Li Qing was enjoying his meal when he suddenly heard Sang Yuwan's voice.

"Thank you very much, fellow Daoist, for being the living signboard for my All-Dragon Banquet. A lot of fellow Daoists have made reservations just now, and the spiritual stone income is very considerable."

"I thought it would be too vulgar to give you spiritual stones as dividends. So I will give you a table like this every year."

"Whether you are eating it yourself or rewarding your disciples, my dragon banquet is quite impressive."

Li Qing was stunned, then he accepted it happily: "That's great! It's a good opportunity for the younger generation at home to enjoy a delicious meal."

After all, as a good friend, it was one thing for him to come to Sang Yuwan to ask for money; but if he brought people with him, or even ate and took things from him, it would be a bit too much.

In this way, after three rounds of wine and five dishes, the full dragon banquet was quickly enjoyed by everyone.

Sang Yuwan had the cups and plates cleared away, and served everyone some magical tea and fruit to freshen their mouths. At the same time, he ordered someone to bring in a large jade basin.

Everyone was puzzled.

He chuckled and said, "A banquet without games would be too monotonous. This jade basin is a treasure of Xumi Jiezi, and it contains many dragon cubs from my Dragon Lake."

He looked around the hall, his eyes sweeping over the younger disciples brought by other foundation-building cultivators: "I see that all of you are talented and gifted people. Why don't you try your luck and see how good your chances are?"

The disciples standing behind the foundation-building practitioners, who had just been able to help serve the dishes during the Dragon Banquet, all brightened up their eyes when they heard this.

Niu Xinjing complained to Li Qing through voice transmission: "Brother Sang, are you... imitating that guy?"

"It's just that they are a bit stingy. They only give the younger generation the opportunity to play, fearing that we will take away the treasure."

Because of the news of the "Ancient Secret Realm" provided by Li Qing and Sang Yuwan, he has been busy moving these days. Because of the busy work, he did not bring his juniors with him, so this time he could not get any benefits from the Jindan Zhenren.

Before Li Qing could reply, he heard Sang Yuwan teasing in his heart: "My two Taoist friends, you just finished eating my meal and you're already making up stories about me."

Li Qing looked at his nose with his eyes and his heart with his nose, pretending not to hear.

Gu Yizhenren on the opposite side was overjoyed.

Niu Xinjing immediately sat up straight and looked straight ahead.

Soon, the jade basin was arranged, and a member of the Sang family brought up a fishing rod with a gold rod, silver line and jade hook and presented it to a disciple brought by Master Gu Yi.

The Xuan Palace disciple followed the instructions, threw the silver jade hook into the water, and secretly performed some fishing techniques to attract the dragon cubs in the basin.

Suddenly, the fishing line swayed slightly, creating faint ripples in the basin.

"The fish is hooked!" his companion reminded excitedly.

This disciple, however, seemed to be extremely patient, and he did not lift the rod hastily, but waited until the ripples subsided, then wrinkled again, before he suddenly raised his hand.

"Clap clap clap..."

A golden loach struggled hard on the fishing rod, shaking off a large amount of crystal water droplets.

The disciple was well prepared. He had a net bag ready. He threw it towards the golden loach and caught it firmly.

Sang Yuwan raised his eyebrows and looked at Gu Yi: "Is this Brother Dao's disciple? He seems to be quite accomplished in fishing!"

The golden dragon loach that was caught is a top-quality first-grade dragon species. When it reaches adulthood, it has the strength of a late first-grade dragon species. If cultivated properly, it can even become a second-grade dragon species.

This is also one of the few dragon species in the jade basin today that can be cultivated as a beast rather than as food.

Gu Yi laughed: "This kid's name is Chi Yu, and he is my last disciple. It's not that he has great talent, he's just good at fishing!"

"My deceased master loved fishing when he was alive, but he rarely caught anything. I was very fond of him. But he didn't have much time left, so I let him become my disciple."

Ao She, who was sitting next to Li Qing, muttered, "Chi Yu? Chi Yu? Eating fish? Just hearing the name, it seems like he has something to do with fishing..."

Li Qing: …

After Chi Yu, many Qigong disciples came in and cast their poles into the jade basin.

Most people were able to catch a dragon species for food, but some unlucky ones got nothing.

Among them were two Qi training disciples from Yanling Valley.

The face of the foundation-building cultivator from Yanling Valley turned pale, and he felt that he was being targeted.

Li Qing looked up at Sang Yuwan and found that he was chatting with Gu Yizhenren and was not paying attention to fishing at all.

Moreover, based on Li Qing's understanding of him, he would not use his status as a Jindan Zhenren to target two Qigong juniors.

But he soon realized the truth.

Because Ao She sent him a message: "I did it. I was almost caught by the guys from Yanling Valley and made into soup. It was the master who redeemed me."

Li Qing's mind moved, and he vaguely understood that the relationship between Yanglong Lake and Yanling Valley did not seem to be very good.

In the past, Sang Yuwan was weak and alone and endured it. But now that he has formed the elixir, and under the premise that the Great Zhou and Xuan Palace cannot be defeated, he may not endure it any longer.

Soon, the game of fishing for dragon seeds in a jade basin was coming to an end.

The last person to enter was a simple and honest young man who was at the seventh level of Qi training. He was not good-looking and his strength was average.

He was a foundation-building monk from a foreign country, with servants to serve him. He was forced to enter the arena to try after being verbally pressured by his master's disciples.

Logically speaking, this kind of identity is not worthy of being in a formal setting.

But today is the day when Sang Yuwan forms her elixir, and it is a festive occasion. The Sang family will not get upset with him over such a small matter.

Then he threw the jade hook into the basin, and then he was at a loss as to what to do.

Many monks from foreign countries were amused by his miserable appearance, as if they were watching a farce.

Li Qing frowned, somewhat disliking this trend.

Suddenly, the silver thread shook slightly.

The servant started to panic and instinctively lifted up the fishing rod.

"Splash..." A small fish swung vigorously, splashing the water everywhere.

This is a scarlet dragon fish. Its blood is rising, and its blood concentration is almost as high as Ao Lan's.

"Huh?" Sang Yuwan, Li Qing and Niu Xinjing said in unison and turned to look at the dragon fish.

Before the servant's master could rejoice, the red dragon fish opened its mouth, leaped onto the water, and slammed the water with its powerful tail.

"Pah--" The water waves almost soaked the servant like a drowned rat.

Fortunately, Sang Yuwan calmed the ripples with a flick of her finger, preventing him from making a fool of himself in public.

But the red dragon fish thought that its revenge was successful and returned to the jade basin.

Seeing the foreign cultivator's uneasy expression, Li Qing spoke up to save him: "You, the junior, do have some abilities."

When everyone heard this, they turned around and looked over: "May I ask, Brother Li, what is the name of this dragon fish?"

Li Qing glanced at Sang Yuwan, and seeing that he had no objection, he introduced half-truthfully, "This dragon fish was obtained by Brother Sang Dao and the two of us when we were exploring the secret realm together."

"Brother Sang saw that it was of extraordinary quality and planned to cultivate it himself, but this guy has a bad temper and ignored him."

Sang Yuwan added: "Now that you, the junior, cast the rod and it took the bait, it shows that you two are destined to be together..."

As he spoke, he turned sideways and looked at the foreign foundation-building cultivator: "I wonder if you are willing to give up your love and let him be a fisherman here? I am willing to compensate you with a second-level dragon seed."

The monk was reluctant at first, but after hearing Sang Yuwan's conditions, he could only agree with difficulty: "Since the master has given me the honor, I will keep him here."

The head of the Sang family gave a look and the clan members took the servant away, leaving Sang Yuwan with no need to worry at all.

At this point, the banquet and games were all over. According to convention, the newly promoted Jindan Zhenren should give a lecture, explain the Dao to everyone, and answer their questions.

But Sang Yuwan stood up and pointed at the crystal palace and said, "Let all Taoist friends know that this palace is the legacy of a Yuanying Zhenjun."

"My Sang family inherited the legacy of Yanglong Lake, and I am considered to be his half-lineage descendant."

Upon hearing this, many uninformed monks showed expressions of shock.

Some of them had a flash of greed in their eyes, but considering the power of the Jindan Zhenren, they quickly restrained themselves.

Sang Yuwan continued, "Before he left, he left a letter, saying that he had left many treasures in the glass pillars of the Crystal Palace, waiting for someone who is destined to come back."

"You all came to watch the ceremony at the right time. I think it is fate. Would you like to try your luck?"
