The Great Martial Saint!

This world is still so realistic!

Chen Ping'an looked calm and quietly put down his wine glass.

"grown ups."

Xiong Sanrang stood up, picked up the pot with both hands, and respectfully filled Chen Ping'an with wine.

Chen Ping'an's eyes were indifferent, and he was still aware of the situation in the private room upstairs.

Yunlongxuan wine, flying dragon drunk!

Feilong is drunk, Yunlongxuan!

If it had been done back then, this matter might not have been resolved peacefully!
However, after years of ups and downs, Chen Ping'an's state of mind has long been stable.

The servant is not to blame for this. It is the mechanism that makes it difficult for him to disobey his master's orders even if he knew about it.

It’s not the master’s fault. Even if he wants to be fair, how can there be fairness in this world?

Without preferential treatment, classification, and making friends with people from all over, how can this business last long!

If everything is really fair, then where does the word "preferential treatment" come from?

He didn't reveal his identity, which was the cause, and he didn't make Feilong drunk, which was the result!

The words cause and effect are unpredictable!
Chen Ping'an said nothing and just raised his glass and drank.

Everyone is in the game, and no one can escape.

One thing leads to another, just like this corrupt dynasty!

Yunlongxuan's business is good, and it is no exaggeration to say that it is crowded.

Chen Ping'an had only sat down for a short while when quite a few people had already arrived.

There were cups and glasses clinking around, and people were chatting and discussing.

"Did you hear about the last time someone hunted a Cloud Pattern Blue Flame Wolf?!"

"The Cloud Patterned Blue Flame Wolf, that is the bloodline of a top-grade demon beast!"

"Yeah! I'd say he's really lucky! This one is enough to last him half his life!"

"Spending half a lifetime, that's an exaggeration!"

"What are you exaggerating about! This is a female wolf with cubs in her belly!"

"Sigh~"

"."

In addition to commerce, monster hunting is also very popular in Long'an, and from time to time, there are considerable results in monster hunting.

Some people enjoy themselves, some people gain a lot, and some people become rich overnight.
Behind these countless pieces of news, people unconsciously ignore the huge risks behind them!

During every monster hunting trip, there are people who stay in the Canglong Mountains forever.

Amid the heated discussions around him, Chen Pingan also heard his own name.

"Counting the time, the rookie list will be updated soon!"

"Yeah! An update is coming soon! What's up!?"

"Nothing, just sighing that the former top rookie finally got married!"

"Yes, I'm married!"

"You are bringing up something irrelevant! Get out of here!"

"But I am still convinced to marry Mang Dao!"

"Convinced!? Convinced of what! I'm not convinced!"

"Don't mention it, you're stabbing me in the heart again!"

"Marry someone? Marry someone! It's just an engagement. Fairy Qingcheng hasn't married yet!"

"The engagement has already been made. It's only a matter of time!"

"No matter! I don't care! Fairy Qingcheng just hasn't married yet!"

"."

Some people sigh and lament, some are emotional, and some are indignant. The scenes are intertwined to compose a picture of all living beings.

Although Chen Ping'an didn't drink as much as Feilong, he still enjoyed it.

Yunlong cake tastes good. Although it is not a rare cake, it is delicious and leaves a lingering fragrance.

Apart from not getting drunk, I enjoyed the meal quite well.

"Sanrang, let's go!"

"Yes, sir!" Xiong Sanrang responded respectfully.

When he came, Chen Pingan got off the carriage early because of the impact. But when he left, it was not the same.

The wide and tall custom-made frame did not stop at the Yunlongxuan parking entrance, but directly at the door. The frame was surrounded by men with muscular build and bright eyes.

This scene instantly attracted countless eyes.

Even the distinguished guests in the private room stuck their heads out to take a closer look.

"This frame"

The carriage outside the door was extremely tall, with intricate patterns and jade pendants. Even a person with the dullest eyes could tell that this carriage was extraordinary.

Someone was knowledgeable enough to recognize the frame.

"Mysterious Jade Ornament, this is..."

The eyes of several people in the private room flickered and their expressions changed slightly.

Inside Yunlongxuan, the servant who had just delivered a message from the kitchen took a glance and inadvertently saw the scene in front of the door.

He stopped and looked around curiously. When he saw the scene outside the door clearly, he was stunned and stood there in a daze.

Chen Ping'an looked calm, and under the protection of a group of elite soldiers, he climbed onto the frame without haste.

"This"

The servant's heart trembled and his face changed drastically.

Chen Pingan was not interested in the reaction in Yunlongxuan.

He knocked gently on the beam, and Xiong Sanrang's voice was heard outside the door.

"Sir, what are your orders?"

"Send a visiting card to the Gu family's residence! We will pay a visit to them tomorrow!" Chen Pingan said indifferently.

"Yes, sir." Xiong Sanrang responded respectfully.

Longan is a major town, bustling and prosperous. There are many cars and horses on the streets, but when they see Chen Ping'an's carriage, everyone avoids it intentionally or unintentionally.

Not to mention this highly-anticipated frame, just the guards surrounding the frame make it clear that the identity of the owner of this frame is no ordinary person.

Under Xiong Sanrang's arrangement, Chen Pingan finally lived in Jinlan Garden in the important town of Long'an.

Different from ordinary inns, Jinlanyuan specializes in high-end small buildings. Its courtyard is quiet and has an excellent privacy experience. It also provides a variety of private chef services with sophisticated craftsmanship. It is one of the most luxurious inns in the important town of Long'an.

Under these many services, correspondingly, they also represent extremely expensive consumption experiences. Of course, these are nothing to Chen Pingan.

With his current wealth, it would be no problem for him to buy Jinlanyuan, let alone live there.

On the first day of his visit to the important town of Long'an, Chen Pingan had a good impression.

Although Long'an is not as big as Canglongzhou City, it has a bit more wild beauty. Tamed monsters that are hard to find in the city can be seen everywhere here.

However, when we got near Jinlan Garden, the situation improved a lot.

It seems that there should be special regulations regarding this issue in the important town of Long'an.

Long'an Town is located at the core of the trade route. The entire town is designed to resist the monsters. Not only does it cover a larger area, but its defense force is also incomparable to the other two major towns.

Due to the trade between the two states, most people would rest here for a while. There were even more masters in this important town.

Not to mention other places, just in Jinlan Garden alone, Chen Pingan discovered more than one master.

"It's true there are hidden dragons and crouching tigers!"

Chen Pingan smiled, without thinking deeply, he sat cross-legged and slowly closed his eyes.

hum~
There was a flickering light in the elegant garden, and as the true essence flowed, there was a faint aura of light.

A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step!
The path of spiritual practice starts from little things!

The light flickered, and the experience of cultivation flashed by.

+1!

Early the next morning, Chen Pingan went to the Gu family’s residence.

With the previous visiting invitation, the Gu family’s residence had already made preparations.

In addition to being the guardian of Beicang, Chen Pingan is also the son-in-law of the Gu family, which basically makes him the most legitimate of the Gu family's legitimate descendants.

Naturally, the Gu family gave him the highest level of hospitality when he arrived.

With the welcome from everyone, Chen Pingan also entered the base smoothly.

It has to be said that as the number one family in Canglong Prefecture, the Gu family still has great status in the important town of Long'an.

The settlement is built against a natural hill, with some buildings and pavilions interspersed in the middle. The whole layout is a classic.

"Friend Chen!"

The grandmaster of the Gu family who is stationed in Long'an is a respected elder of the Gu family and is known as the Flowing Cloud Palm!
His hair and beard were all white, and he looked energetic. He was wearing a dark blue robe with cloud patterns, and looked quite elegant.

"Ping'an greets Mr. Cheng!" Chen Ping'an bowed with a humble attitude.

Liuyun Palm, Gu Rencheng! In the Gu family, he is called Cheng Lao!
Gu Rencheng was very satisfied with Chen Ping'an's attitude, and he stroked his beard and smiled.

"You are in charge of a place, so you don't have much free time on weekdays. How do you have time to come to Long'an?"

Chen Pingan did not hide anything and answered truthfully.

After some communication, the two had a very pleasant conversation.

"I heard Elder Lan's letter praising you before, and I thought he was too flattering at the time. But after seeing you today, I feel I was wrong."

Mr. Cheng has a friendly smile and looks energetic.

Chen Pingan, the Rough Blade, is in charge of a place at a young age. He killed the blood bats by himself, and his fighting power should not be underestimated!

Gu Rencheng was still very satisfied with Chen Pingan, the son-in-law of the Gu family.

"Mr. Cheng, you are too kind to me. I don't deserve it." Chen Pingan said modestly.

Seeing that the time was almost up, after drinking a cup of tea, Chen Pingan bowed and took his leave.

Knowing that Chen Pingan still had things to do, Gu Rencheng did not stop him, but just said: "It's a rare trip for you, bring back some Long'an specialties. I happen to have Sanqiu Dew here, take some back to try."

Sanqiulu is a fine wine that has the ability to increase true essence and nourish spirituality. It is an extremely precious spiritual wine, far beyond the reach of Feilongzui and the like.

Chen Pingan bowed and said, "I cannot refuse a gift from an elder! I thank you, Mr. Cheng."

Gu Rencheng clapped his hands and smiled: "I have entrusted Qingcheng to you, so why should you be polite with just a little wine!"

Chen Pingan bowed again and left. During the trip to the Gu family's residence, Chen Pingan harvested more than ten jars of Sanqiu Dew.

With the value of Sanqiu Lu, these drinks are worth more than 800 Yuan crystals, which basically exceeds the total wealth of most top masters!

Gu Rencheng's move was obviously intended to congratulate Chen Pingan for reaching the Grandmaster level.

It was already late when Chen Pingan left the Gu family residence. He did not delay and went directly to the Zhong family's private residence.

Unlike yesterday, the Zhong Mansion looks particularly festive today.

Chen Ping'an arrived relatively early and was quickly welcomed in by Zhongli Sheng.

"It is an honor to have you here, Chief Chen!" Zhongli Sheng had a red beard and a ruddy face, and he was wearing a red robe embroidered with gold, and he looked radiant.

People feel refreshed when good things happen to them, and masters are no exception!

"Mr. Zhong, congratulations on your 200th birthday. This is just a small token of my appreciation." Chen Pingan smiled and handed over a wooden box.

The wooden box contained a magical medicine that was eight hundred years old and worth a fortune.

For those below the Grandmaster level, these items are extremely rare, but at their level, they are just normal gifts given as a form of social interaction.

Different levels, do different things!
Below the Grandmaster, there are different classes.

Sometimes it is not necessarily that the Grand Master does not want people below the Grand Master to integrate, but the personal relationships between Grand Masters are beyond the ability of ordinary practitioners below the Grand Master to bear.

As time goes by, they naturally face the reality and gradually become distant!
"Thank you for the expense, Chen Zhenshou." Zhongli Sheng took the wooden box with a smile, and without checking it, he welcomed Chen Pingan to the main courtyard.

"Chen Zhenshou, please take a seat first. Don't be restrained." Zhong Lisheng said, and bowed his hand to indicate: "Zhong will be back soon."

Today is his 200th birthday and there are many guests coming and going. As the host of this place, he has a lot of things to do to receive them.

"Please go ahead, Mr. Zhong." Chen Ping'an responded with a smile and sat down at the table.

As soon as I sat down, a maid brought me tea, speaking softly and serving me personally.

As a sacrificial servant of the Long'an Pacification Division, Zhongli Sheng held a very high position, and those who could serve him were not ordinary women. Those who came out to serve at today's birthday banquet were even more outstanding.

However, Chen Ping'an had no interest in this regard, and did not let the maid serve him personally. Instead, he asked her to stand by and wait for orders.

Those who came here today are all Zhongli Sheng’s distinguished guests, so the maid dared not have any opinions at all.

Chen Pingan looked around and found that this courtyard was extremely large, surrounded by exotic flowers and plants, rockery and flowing water, as well as pavilions and waterside terraces, which seemed quite leisurely and contented.

Zhongli Sheng has been a master for many years. With years of accumulation, his wealth is certainly considerable. This courtyard is just a glimpse of his wealth.

Zhongli Sheng's private residence covers a vast area and is simple and unique. Under the spiritual induction, there is also an exclusive martial arts training ground, and there is probably a secret retreat in the dark.

Chen Pingan looked around and was quite satisfied. In comparison, his house in Beicang was somewhat dwarfed.

But this is normal. After all, he had not yet reached the level of a grandmaster. If it was too luxurious and vast, it would seem too high-profile.

Although Chen Pingan came early to the birthday banquet today, he was not the first one to arrive. When he arrived here just now, several guests had already arrived.

Several people looked at each other and smiled, which was considered a greeting.

As for the specific intersection, there is still a very long time waiting for them during the birthday banquet.

Everyone was in no hurry, just waiting for the guests to gather and for the host Zhongli Sheng to come back.

"Brother Li Sheng, thirty years have passed in a flash. The last time we met was in Yunmeng Prefecture!"

"It's been ten years since we last met. How have you been, Brother Zhong?"

"Congratulations to Brother Zhong for having lived for 200 years. May you be blessed with good fortune and a long life in the years ahead!"

"I wish Brother Zhong a long life, good health, and everlasting martial arts!"

"Mr. Zhong, long time no see! Please accept this little gift from me!"

"Old Zhong, you're 200 years old. Haha, you look younger and younger."

"I wish Zhong Gongfeng good health every year."

"."

From time to time, sounds were heard outside and reached Chen Ping'an's ears.

Guests arrived one after another.

The Grandmaster has a long life span, which is incomparable to ordinary practitioners. For the Grandmaster, birthdays at ordinary ages are not taken that seriously.

However, the 200th birthday has special significance, so normally, some celebrations would still be held.

But unlike the celebrations for great masters who have broken through to the realm, these birthday banquets are usually small celebrations, and unless the person is a gossiper, the scale of the celebrations is generally not large.

Like Zhongli Sheng's birthday party, not many guests were invited, so it lacked the flavor of fame and fortune and had more warmth similar to a private banquet.

"Old Du, you're finally here!" Zhong Lisheng's face was flushed, and he introduced with a smile: "These are all my good friends who I have known for many years. Come on, come on, take a seat, we're waiting for you!"

With the arrival of the last guest, the birthday banquet officially began.

In the courtyard, twenty or thirty guests attending the banquet were sitting in various places, surrounded by maids serving them, pouring wine and selecting dishes.

Chen Pingan had a keen sense of perception. Although he did not make any special observations, the cultivation level of everyone present could be seen by his eyes.

Those who can come to the banquet are basically masters, and among them there are quite a few senior masters in the middle stage of Yuheng.

Zhongli Sheng has been famous for many years, and those who can have long-term dealings with him are naturally not ordinary people.

Among the many guests, there was also a top master, wearing a black robe, with gray hair on his temples, looking a bit old-fashioned. But in his old-fashionedness, there was a hint of the sharpness that only swordsmen can show.

After Zhongli Sheng's brief opening greetings, the birthday banquet officially began.

At first, there was not much conversation between them, and most of it was centered around Zhongli Sheng and his birthday.

"Brother Zhong, you are still as charming as ever even after 200 years!"

"In the blink of an eye, you are already two hundred years old. I am really old!"

"Brother Li Sheng, I still remember the experience in Qingming. I was seriously injured and almost died. If it weren't for your careful care, my life and death would be unpredictable!"

"."

Zhong Lisheng was right. Many of them were indeed his friends who he had known for many years. After years of interaction, their relationship had been tested over a long period of time. Most of them were reliable people with whom he had strong friendships.

There are also very few cases where they have experienced life and death together, and can be considered friends of life and death!
As the conversation became more lively, everyone gradually relaxed and moved on from birthday congratulations and reminiscing about the past to other things.

"Brother Zhong, with so many good friends gathered here today, why don't you take out the precious spiritual wine so that all of you can enjoy it! Everyone, do you agree or not?"

The words of one guest were quickly echoed by everyone.

Those present were all close friends, and ordinary people would not dare to make such jokes. Otherwise, it would not be to create a good atmosphere, but to roast Zhongli Sheng.

If you agree, it will cost a lot, and if you don’t agree, it will be a loss of face.

It's not right to answer it, and it's not right not to answer it!
It’s really a dilemma!

"It should be so!" Zhongli Sheng's face flushed, he was in a very good mood, and he agreed happily.

With the appearance of the spirit wine, the atmosphere in the venue reached a climax.

"Not bad! Good wine!"

“Sweet, rich, soft and delicate!”

"It's refreshing and refreshing when it goes down your throat!"

After a round of drinking, both the host and the guests enjoyed themselves.

As the atmosphere became more heated, Zhongli Sheng also started to introduce the guests attending the birthday party.

"This is Zhong's long-time friend, Brother Zhou Zhaowu. Brother Zhou is good at taming beasts and has made quite a name for himself in several states!"

After Zhongli Sheng finished his introduction, a thin, dark man stood up at the table and bowed to all directions.

"My name is Zhou Zhaowu, nice to meet you all."

"Zhou Zhaowu?" Chen Ping'an's heart moved.

In the past, he had seen the other party's name in the state biography.

Rock bear beastmaster, Zhou Zhaowu!

A beast taming master in the middle stage of Yuheng!

Although Zhou Zhaowu's own combat power is not obvious, the Earth-Splitting Rock Bear he cultivated is a truly ferocious monster with mutated superior bloodline.

Zhou Zhaowu had an opportunity in his early years. He first got a cub of a rock bear, and then experienced a blood mutation during the breeding.

Such mutations are benign mutations.

The bloodline of the Earth-Splitting Rock Bear is already extremely powerful among the superior bloodlines. After mutation, its future growth potential is enough to rival that of earth-grade bloodline monster beasts.

Although Zhou Zhaowu's Earth-Splitting Rock Bear has not yet fully grown up, the two of them working together are enough to fight against top masters.

Relying on the magical bloodline of the Earth-Splitting Rock Bear, it can even pose a deadly threat to top masters!
The Rock Bear Master, Zhou Zhaowu, is not a top master, but he is better than a top master! Given time, when the Earth-Splitting Rock Bear fully grows up, it may be equal to a great master!

However, the growth rate of the Earth-Splitting Rock Bear is relatively slow, and it requires a large amount of spiritual materials during cultivation. It is not easy to truly cultivate it completely!

But no matter what, Zhou Zhaowu is not comparable to ordinary senior masters!
He was extremely lucky and had many opportunities. If we talk about general biographical novels, Zhou Zhaowu could be the destined protagonist.

As Zhou Zhaowu stood up, everyone bowed in return.

"Chou Dao is friendly!"

"Hello, Brother Zhou!"

"Brother Zhou!"

"."

Chen Pingan entered the table and bowed.

Some people present saw Zhou Zhaowu for the first time, some had seen him before, and some were very familiar with him. But no matter what, Zhou Zhaowu's identity still caused some uproar.

"Brother Zhou, please take a seat."

Zhongli Sheng's face was flushed, his voice was deep, and he raised his hand with a smile.

Zhou Zhaowu's identity made him, the host, feel very proud.

"This is Zhong's good friend who I have known for over a hundred years. He is also a brother who has experienced life and death together."

Zhongli Sheng introduced the next guest, Huang Ruohai, who was also a senior master of the middle stage of Yuheng. He was dressed in a long pine flower gown and looked very imposing. If it weren't for Zhongli Sheng's introduction, one would have thought he was just a young man in his thirties.

"Greetings to all my fellow practitioners." Huang Ruohai stood up and bowed with a smile on his face.

Everyone bowed and returned the greeting.

"Hello, Brother Huang."

"Zodiac Friendly!"

"."

Zhongli Sheng introduced them one by one, with many exaggerations in his introductions, giving the guests enough face. Even the most ordinary Grandmaster received high praise from Zhongli Sheng, reflecting the deep relationship between them.

I have to say that although Zhongli Sheng looks rough, his words and actions are well-organized and make people feel like spring breeze.

Soon, Zhongli Sheng introduced Chen Pingan.

"This is the candidate for the director of the Canglong Prefecture Pacification Division, the Northern Cang Guard, and also the world-renowned genius on the Hidden Dragon Ranking, the Rough Blade Chen Ping'an, Guard Chen!"

When Zhong Lisheng finished speaking, everyone's faces lit up with surprise. (End of this chapter)
