Not long after Han Benyong arrived, he followed Han Changming to Jinjiao Island to celebrate the Han family's birthday. He saw a lot of new and interesting things and was greatly enlightened.
"When we leave, we can buy a batch of blood-crowned eagles for transportation."
Ye Xin suggested.
Han Changming nodded, gave them a few instructions, and told them to go back and rest.
For the next three days, Han Wenbin did not come again, and Han Changming and others stayed in Qingbai Pavilion to rest.
It was early in the morning, just as the sky was getting light.
A deafening dragon roar was heard on Jinjiao Island. Han Changming, standing by the window, could see a large number of escaping lights flying in a certain direction at an extremely fast speed.
"Today is the birthday of the Han family's Patriarch. Let's go out! I guess Fellow Daoist Han and the others are here too."
Han Changming turned and walked out. As they walked out of Qingbai Pavilion, a dozen giant eagles with bloody flesh crests on their heads fell from the sky and landed in front of them. Han Wenbin and a dozen other cultivators sat on the backs of the giant eagles.
The giant eagle has green feathers, short claws and a long, slender neck.
Han Wenbin jumped down from the Blood Crown Eagle's back and said with a smile, "Friend Han, today is the Patriarch's birthday. I will take you to the birthday party. This is the Blood Crown Eagle I told you about."
"Then I'll trouble you, Brother Han."
Han Changming smiled and nodded, and asked his tribesmen to jump onto the back of the Blood-Crowned Eagle.
"Walk."
Han Wenbin shouted softly, and more than a dozen blood-crowned eagles spread their wings and flew high into the sky at an extremely fast speed.
Han Changming saw many spiritual birds and beasts, many of which he had never seen before. He probably thought they were new species bred by the Han family.
A quarter of an hour later, they appeared in a bluestone square of a hundred acres. A large number of jade tables and cushions were placed on the square. Guests had already arrived. Right in front of them was a pale golden jade table, shining with spiritual light.
A dozen blood-crowned eagles circled and landed on the bluestone square.
Han Changming and others jumped off the back of the Blood-Crowned Eagle and walked towards the jade table.
"Friend Han, these are your seats. There are too many guests here to celebrate your birthday. Please bear with me if we are not welcoming enough."
After Han Wenbin settled Han Changming and others, he went to pick up other guests.
Han Changming's position was five meters away from the main seat. The four Jindan cultivators had independent jade tables. As for the foundation-building cultivators, there were two people at a table, and on the table there was a plate of spiritual plows and a pot of spiritual tea.
Lin Yunxiao and Fan Tingting sat opposite Han Changming. Their seats were closer to the front, next to the main seat. The status of the guests could be seen from the distance of their seats.
"Friend Lin, you guys are here so early!"
Han Changming greeted with a smile.
Lin Yunxiao smiled and nodded, then started chatting with Han Changming.
Guests arrived one after another. The stronger they were, the closer they were to the front. Han Changming saw Liang Youshan and Liang Youhai.
"Hey, Fellow Daoist Han, you guys also come to wish Fellow Daoist Han a happy birthday."
Liang Youhai was a little surprised when he saw Han Changming and others.
It is impossible to invite every force to the birthday party of the head of the Han family. The forces that can receive the invitation have good relations with the Han family of Jinjiao Island. Liang Youhai did not expect to see Han Changming here.
"Fellow Daoist Liang, do you know Fellow Daoist Han?"
Han Wenbin was slightly stunned. He didn't expect that they knew each other.
"I know him. Fellow Daoist Liang saved Han's daughter-in-law and grandson. So, Fellow Daoist Liang is Han's benefactor."
Han Changming explained with a smile.
"Friend Han, isn't your fifth uncle here?"
Liang Youshan asked casually.
"No, Uncle Wu has something to deal with, so Han brought his wife and children to celebrate the birthday."
Han Changming answered honestly.
Liang Youhai and Liang Youshan nodded. They sat down next to Han Changming and started chatting.
"It's so lively today! Fellow Daoist Lin from Tianbao Chamber of Commerce and Fellow Daoist Liang from Liuli Island are here too."
A gentle male voice suddenly sounded. Just as the words fell, a young man in a golden shirt with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes flew over from a distance. After a few flashes, he landed in front of Lin Yunxiao. The young man in the golden shirt was tall and wore a golden robe.
"Master Danghai, the eldest disciple of Master Sanjue."
There was a hint of surprise in Ye Xin's eyes. True Man Sanjue sent his eldest disciple to celebrate the birthday of the head of the Han family, which gave the Han family enough face. It seemed that True Man Sanjue had a very good relationship with the Han family of Jinjiao Island.
Zhenren Danghai’s surname was Zhang and his given name was Yunxuan. He was a disciple of Zhenren Sanjue.
Zhang Yunxuan clasped his fists towards Lin Yunxiao and the others, and said calmly, "Zhang greets all of you fellow Taoists."
His seat was opposite Lin Yunxiao, right next to the main seat, which showed how much the Han family valued Zhang Yunxuan.
The monks started chatting, but Zhang Yunxuan seldom spoke. He only responded to every question asked by others, and seemed taciturn.
Han Changming chatted with other Jindan cultivators, while Han Benyong and others chatted with other foundation-building cultivators.
After a cup of tea, a loud dragon roar was heard. All the cultivators were startled and looked up into the sky.
A green light appeared in the distant sky and flew towards here quickly.
Not long after, a green light appeared above the bluestone square. It was actually a green dragon that was over thirty feet long. Han Guanglin and Han Wenlong were standing on the green dragon.
"Level 3 Flood Dragon!"
Han Changming narrowed his eyes. With his current strength, ordinary third-level monsters were no match for him. The dragon was not an ordinary monster. It was very cool to have a third-level dragon as a spiritual beast.
He encountered a third-grade superior-quality dragon on Feixian Island and could only run away, not daring to get entangled with it at all.
The green dragon landed on the ground, and the ground shook slightly.
All the monks stood up and looked at Han Guanglin.
Han Guanglin and Han Wenlong walked to the main seat. Han Guanglin clasped his fists towards all the cultivators and said enthusiastically, "Welcome all of you Taoist friends to come from afar to celebrate my birthday. We in the Han family don't have anything good to offer you, so we have prepared some wine and drinks. Please enjoy them."
As soon as he finished speaking, a group of female monks in uniform green robes came out with trays filled with fine wine and delicious food.
The meals for Jindan cultivators are better, with eight dishes and one soup, not too much portion, and a pot of spirit wine. The meals for foundation-building cultivators are worse, with five dishes, one soup, and a pot of spirit wine.
Zhang Yunxuan stood up, holding up the wine glass, and said, "I am here on the orders of my master to celebrate Daoist Fellow Han's birthday. This glass of wine is for Daoist Fellow Han."
Han Changming and other guests stood up, raised their glasses, and said in unison: "Cheers to Daoyou Han (Senior Han)."
Han Guanglin stood up, picked up the wine glass, and said with a smile: "Thank you very much, fellow Taoists, for your kindness. I will drink first to show my respect."
He drank up the wine in the cup and sat down. Zhang Yunxuan and the other guests finished their drinks and sat down as well.
Zhang Yunxuan took out a small and exquisite blue shield. Runes flashed on the surface of the blue shield, and it was full of spiritual energy. It was obviously a mid-grade magic weapon.
"This Lishui Shield is a gift from me. I wish Fellow Daoist Han to reach greater heights and further advance in his cultivation."
Zhang Yunxuan said loudly.
Han Guanglin smiled and nodded, saying, "Daoyou Zhang is very thoughtful. Wenbin, accept Daoyou Zhang's gift."
"Our Tianbao Chamber of Commerce is sending you a third-grade high-quality demon pill and two pieces of agate jade."
"Our Liang family sent two 700-year-old golden rain grasses and two third-level middle-grade demon pills."
······
The monks presented their gifts one after another, and Han Wenbin was responsible for receiving them. The value of each gift was over 100,000 spirit stones.
Soon, they arrived at Han Changming's place.
Han Benfu stood up, took out two exquisite wine jars, a green wooden box and a blue wooden box, and said with a smile: "My father prepared a jar of third-grade spiritual wine, three mid-grade Ziyang Pills and five top-grade foundation-building pills. I wish you, Han, to make further progress."
Seeing so many powerful people coming to celebrate Han Guanglin’s birthday, Han Changming changed a batch of gifts.
The third-grade spiritual wine would have been fine, but the three mid-grade elixirs and five high-grade elixirs were really beyond the expectations of the cultivators present.
Han Guanglin did not expect Han Changming's gift to be so valuable. He was stunned for a moment, but he quickly reacted and said with a smile, "Fellow Daoist Han is very thoughtful. You have come from afar, so why not stay a few more days so that our Han family can show our hospitality."
"Okay, we'll bother you then."
Han Changming smiled slightly and agreed.
Looking at the shocked expressions on the other cultivators’ faces, Han Changming had achieved his goal.
Zhang Yunxuan showed some surprise in his eyes and looked at Han Changming a few more times. Lin Yunxiao, Fan Tingting, Liang Youhai and Liang Youshan also couldn't help but look at Han Changming.
Other guests presented gifts one after another, but they were far inferior to Han Changming's gift.
After presenting the gifts, the monks toasted each other, talking and laughing.
"Fellow Daoist Han, I heard that the disciples of your Han family are very advanced in Taoism. We brought some clansmen here. Why don't we let them spar with each other and make friends through martial arts?"
Liang Youshan smiled and suggested.
When major forces hold birthday celebrations or celebrations, they sometimes let the younger generations compete with each other and give out some things as rewards.
"Yes! Why don't you take out some beast-raising pills as rewards, and I am willing to take out some second-level high-quality pills as rewards for the younger generation."
Han Changming agreed. He didn't care about winning or losing. It was enough for others to know that he could produce top-grade elixirs.
