Through the publicity of forum posts, many netizens learned that Zhu Changyang was going to hold a party in Jijin Sect.
By the evening, the number of people in the live broadcast room gradually increased, and the comments were very lively:
[Why is it so dark? Where is the party? Hasn't it started yet? ]
[I haven’t watched the live broadcast for a while. I heard that the host has built an internal combustion engine. Is it true? ]
[It's so funny. I took some time to take a look this afternoon. I almost thought I was in the wrong place. A great weapon refining company was turned into a furniture factory by Changyang. I think the staff were all confused.]
[Don’t even mention these people in the cultivation world. I feel dizzy just looking at them. I don’t know what the results will be.]
The moon is above the willow trees.
The disciples of Ji Jin Sect gradually arrived at an open space not far from the main hall.
They had originally received a notice saying that a banquet would be held in the main hall today to entertain Zhu Changyang and Jun Shu as a thank you, and they had already prepared the banquet costumes.
Unexpectedly, before departure, Qi Tongchen gave everyone new news, saying that the banquet would be postponed to the evening and the venue would be changed to outdoors, so everyone could just come with light luggage and there was no need to make it too grand.
This was a rare event, as banquets were usually held at noon, as lighting was inconvenient at night. If they were held at night, they would be held indoors for candlelight.
This has never happened before, at night and outdoors.
All the disciples were wondering, maybe Zhu Changyang was going to use flashlights to illuminate everyone. If so, that would require a lot of flashlights.
The banquet had not started yet. A group of people were standing outside the banquet venue. Looking through a door and wall, they saw that it was pitch black inside and were a little confused.
"Hey, why aren't the lights on yet?"
“I didn’t see any flashlight either.”
Someone joked, "You're not going to ask us to have the feast in the dark, are you?"
As they were talking, someone shouted, "The Sect Master is here."
Everyone fell silent and made way for him. Sikou Luo, wearing a jade crown and robe, walked over meticulously.
Qi Tongchen followed behind him.
When he got closer, Si Kou Luo stopped and looked around. He didn't see the figure who was always teasing cats and dogs. The corners of his lips tightened slightly. Then he looked at the others and asked curiously, "Why are there no lights?"
Earlier, Qi Tongchen reported back that Zhu Changyang wanted to arrange the banquet himself and hold a "buffet party".
Si Kou Luo said that this form was too casual and inappropriate, but he did not stop it. He also gave a token to Zhu Changyang, allowing him to use his disciples to assist him at will.
However, Zhu Changyang did not mobilize too many disciples. He only asked two people to help set up the venue. The rest was done by himself, Jie Li and Jun Shu.
So other people now have no idea what is happening at the scene.
Qi Tongchen did take a look, but he couldn't figure out what was going on. Instead, he became a little worried.
The main reason is that Zhu Changyang acted too casually.
The tables were just put together randomly and the rest of the chairs were placed randomly. There was no arrangement of seats at all.
Qi Tongchen didn't mind these details, but his master was always strict in his actions, so he was afraid that he would be unhappy.
Qi Tongchen was a little worried when Si Kou Luo asked him this question. He replied vaguely, "The lights were arranged by the brothers. I don't know the details."
Si Kou Luo frowned slightly, and was about to use his spiritual sense to explore the situation at the venue when he saw Zhu Changyang walk out from the other side of the wall: "Hey, everyone is here."
"Brothers, I'm glad to see you." Qi Tongchen breathed a sigh of relief and hurried forward to ask, "We were just wondering why there were no lights. For such a large place, there must be a lot of lights to light. Do you need your help?"
"No need." Zhu Changyang smiled and waved his hand, "Because the new machine needs to be debugged, it took some time."
Qi Tongchen blinked: "New machine?"
"Yes." Zhu Changyang nodded, "I built a generator that can be used tonight."
What he uploaded in the workshop the day before was the drawing of the diesel generator.
Although spiritual power batteries are convenient, they are not easy to refine. Now that we have oil, it is of course more convenient to make a generator.
There was just enough material, so the workshop started production quickly.
The people of Jijin Sect had never heard of the word "generator" and were confused for a moment. Before they could ask any more questions, Zhu Changyang had already waved his hand and said, "Everyone come over here."
Seeing this, everyone could only suppress their doubts temporarily.
Si Kou Luo walked in front, followed closely by Qi Tongchen and the other disciples. They crossed the archway, but saw that the other side was pitch black without any fire.
Just as he was about to take a closer look, Zhu Changyang gestured to a corner, and Jun Shu pressed a button.
There was a slight "pop" sound, and the light at the scene burst into life, instantly illuminating the entire venue clearly as if it were daylight.
Everyone:? !!!
This was originally the training ground of the Jijin Sect. It was flat and wide, with only a circle of ancient trees left around it.
But above the ancient tree, there were strings of glowing glass balls hanging. These glass balls and the heads of flashlights should be made from the same thing, which Zhu Changyang called "light bulbs".
However, these "bulbs" are much larger than those on flashlights, about the size of a fist, and the light they emit is much brighter. One bulb is enough to illuminate an entire room.
At this time, there were about ten bulbs hanging on each tree, and each bulb was connected in a string with a "line" made of strange material.
In addition, there are several "lines" crisscrossing above the open space, and the lines are also hung with light bulbs. These light bulbs are smaller in size, but more eye-catching than those on the trees.
Because these bulbs are colorful!
The Ji Jin Sect's weapon refiners were very sensitive to materials and quickly discovered that the color of the bulbs mainly came from the outer layer of colored glaze, not some strange technique. But it was undeniable that it was just this tiny change that made the bulbs suddenly become more colorful.
These natives of the cultivation world have never seen such a scene.
Before this, only the eternal bright lantern in the daytime sky could shine for thousands of miles and illuminate a city at night.
These light bulbs hanging in the air on the trees are just ordinary objects, but they can turn night into day and even change into such colorful colors, just like the neon lights in the sky.
How could they not be amazed
Even Si Kou Luo was mesmerized by the beautiful sight, but it only took him a brief moment to come back to his senses. He then released his spiritual sense to probe into the machine operated by Jun Shu.
This exploration made me slightly surprised.
The structure of the machine was extremely complex, and even with his deep understanding of refining equipment, it was difficult to distinguish it clearly.
All I noticed was that there was something very similar to "fiery oil" but purer than fierce oil burning. The combustion caused the air to expand, pushing a series of structures in the machine to rotate continuously.
Those structures fit together perfectly and are cleverly combined. I don't know what the principle is, but the machine generates a kind of power.
This power is not familiar to the world of cultivation, but it is definitely not unfamiliar. It is "electricity".
This kind of "electricity" is very similar to the "lightning" in thunderstorms, but lightning is believed to be a gift from heaven and has some similarities with the spiritual power between heaven and earth. They can be converted into each other under certain circumstances.
It turns out that this kind of power is very mysterious and difficult to obtain in the world of cultivation.
It was not until Zhu Changyang came into being that "electricity" began to appear frequently in his creations.
But now Zhu Changyang is using a machine that uses something as common as "fiery oil", which can actually "generate electricity", and the amount of electricity it generates is even stronger than that generated by batteries.
This discovery made Si Kou Luo secretly shocked.
He didn't know whether other people had noticed the similarities between the "electricity" used by Zhu Changyang and the "lightning" bestowed by Heaven, but he was very clear that Zhu Changyang's use of "electricity" was definitely more than what he had seen so far.
Zhu Changyang's idea of creation is completely different from that of the cultivation world. Most of the time, he starts from the perspective of mortals, but this kind of creation has an influence on the cultivation world that is almost like that of immortal artifacts.
While Si Kou Luo was still thinking, the disciples behind him had already started shouting.
"What's going on? I've never seen a banquet like this before."
"How should we sit here? How will the food be served?"
The lights illuminated the empty venue as bright as day, and the on-site layout was clearly visible, but it was a banquet style that had never been seen before.
On both sides of the open space, there were eight-person tables lined up together, forming two long rows.
What was placed on the table were not the plates that everyone was familiar with, but large plates that were more than a foot long and wide, filled with various pastries, fruits and cooked dishes.
Some dishes are familiar to everyone, such as daily foods such as pork, mutton, fish, shrimp, chicken, duck, as well as some relatively precious spiritual fruits and spiritual beasts.
Some foods look very unfamiliar. The ingredients look familiar, but the cooking methods have never been seen before, making it difficult to distinguish them at first glance.
On the table on the other side was a row of barrel-shaped containers. I don't know what material these barrels were made of. They were not glass, but they were transparent and you could see various drinks inside.
Like the dishes, some drinks are familiar to everyone, such as sweet bean soup, ginger honey water, agarwood water, and Lingquan sweet wine.
Some of the drinks I have never seen before, they look colorful and very beautiful.
These barrels are tightly covered on top and supported by a rack at the bottom. There is also a small curved tube connected to the lowest point, but it is unknown what it is used for.
There is also a table with clean empty dishes, chopsticks, cups, etc.
In this way, all food and drinks were placed on both sides of the venue, and in the middle of the open space, there were only some small round tables about three feet wide placed randomly, each table was equipped with a few chairs with backrests.
These tables and chairs were made by the two disciples Zhu Changyang summoned from Ji Jin Sect.
These weapon refiners usually refine spiritual materials, so they feel a little uncomfortable when they are suddenly asked to use ordinary wood to make tables and stools.
Of course, these tasks were much simpler for them than refining equipment, and they were done very quickly. They could make hundreds of sets of tables and chairs in one day.
The productivity of two people is comparable to that of a modern furniture factory.
Seeing everyone's bewildered look, Zhu Changyang clapped his hands and said with a smile, "The seats are not fixed, everyone can sit wherever they want, sit with whoever you want, or stand if you want, and take whatever you want to eat."
After saying that, he took an empty plate and an empty cup, walked to the long table, put some dishes on the plate, and put the empty cup under the small tube connected to the barrels of drinks. He turned a mechanism on the tube, and the drink in the barrel flowed into the cup. After the cup was full, he turned the mechanism back and the drink stopped flowing out.
Very convenient.
Everyone in Ji Jin Sect: I understand. It’s just an upgraded version of getting meals in the kitchen.
Everyone quickly realized the essence of the buffet and dispersed, some taking plates and some taking cups.
But soon, everyone felt the benefits of this banquet.
So comfortable!
Unlike ordinary banquets where everyone has to eat at one table in an orderly manner, at this kind of banquet, you can move around freely and chat with whichever senior brother or junior sister you want.
If someone starts a conversation with something interesting, others can join in at any time without having to worry about the usual formalities.
The food was also very interesting. In addition to the usual banquet dishes, Zhu Changyang also taught the kitchen to make some things that had never been seen before.
The most popular one is a plate of "cream cake" cut into small triangles.
Those colorful drinks are various fruit juices that are mashed with ice cubes and rock sugar. Some fruit juices are also mixed with tea, which has excellent flavor.
These disciples of the immortal sect usually tried their best to control their appetite and seldom ate or drank excessively, but at this moment they could not help but be attracted by these sweet and rich foods, and lined up to get cakes and drinks.
Even those who have been fasting for a long time, influenced by this atmosphere, could not help but pour a glass of sweet wine and clink glasses with good friends.
As everyone gradually got used to this banquet mode, the atmosphere became more and more lively, and some students who were on good terms with each other even started to play around.
The lights were so bright and the people were talking and laughing that even the roosting birds were startled and flew away.
When Qi Tongchen saw his fellow junior brothers and sisters so happy, he also felt cheerful. However, he immediately thought of Si Kou Luo and couldn't help feeling a little worried.
His master probably wouldn't like this scene.
Qi Tongchen wanted to see Si Kouluo's reaction, but found that Si Kouluo had disappeared at some point.
Was he too angry to leave first
Qi Tongchen became even more nervous and looked around carefully again, and finally found a familiar corner of clothes in the shadow of the light.
Then he was stunned for a moment.
Si Kou Luo took advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention and quietly hid in a tree. He just sat there leaning against the trunk, lazily looking at the noisy scene under the tree.
One of his legs was even hanging down languidly, and he looked quite happy.
Qi Tongchen:?
Who is this person and why does he look so similar to his master? ! !
Qi Tongchen suspected that he was hallucinating and was hesitating whether to go forward to confirm it when suddenly a melodious piano sound was heard nearby. Everyone subconsciously looked over and found that Zhu Changyang had brought out a phonograph and put a vinyl record on it.
The soundtrack played was still Jiang Hui's original soundtrack.
With the help of BGM, the atmosphere was instantly lively, and some people even asked a junior brother who was good at singing to sing a song.
Si Kou Luo was just watching from the tree, but when he saw what was happening, he jumped down and landed in the shadow. However, as soon as he walked into the light, he immediately returned to his usual serious look.
Qi Tongchen who was observing secretly: !!
It’s confirmed, he is really his master!
Studio:
[Fuck, I only knew that Chang Yang was going to have a buffet, but I didn't expect it to be so well done! ]
[With these lights, this layout, this background music, is this really the world of cultivation? Isn't this a costume-themed party held by some film and television studio? ]
[To be honest, a costume-themed party shouldn’t be so inappropriate! ]
[Hahaha, am I the only one who likes this? They look so happy, and my smile curls up just by looking at them!!]
