"Half a month ago, I only broke through to the eighth level of Qi Gathering. Even with the help of Ningshen Powder and Qi Gathering Powder, which enhances the sense of Qi ten times, it will take at least about half a year to reach the ninth level of Qi Gathering."
Zhou Donghuang was half-lying on the bed, with his head leaning against the head of the bed. The thumb of his right hand was straightened, and the other four fingers were bent. The pad of his index finger rested on his chin, and his thumb gently rubbed his chin. The thoughts in his mind suddenly turned:
"It will take at least about a year to move from the ninth level of Qi Gathering to the Small Perfection of Qi Gathering."
"Even if you are lucky and can get some heavenly materials and earthly treasures to assist your cultivation, it will take almost a year and a half to go from the eighth level of Qi Gathering breakthrough to the Qi Gathering Small Perfection."
"And now, I am not far away from Qi Gathering Dzogchen... Without the help of any heavenly materials and earthly treasures to assist my cultivation, I will reach Qi Gathering Dzogchen in at most half a year!"
…
Regarding his recent advancement in cultivation, even if Zhou Donghuang returned to a thousand years ago with a thousand years of memories, he still felt as if he was dreaming.
"No wonder so many martial arts monks in the previous life were obsessed with the dual cultivation of yin and yang... I didn't even know the dual cultivation method, so I got such benefits. If I knew the dual cultivation method, this time, I would be able to directly enter. The realm of innateness!”
"After all, she is a Yuandan monk."
As soon as he thought of this, Zhou Donghuang's mind once again involuntarily appeared in the mind of the beautiful woman wearing a light green dress, her peerless and alluring face, and the overwhelming scene, which was clearly visible in his mind.
"Luo Qinghan..."
"She said she is from Tianxuan Star."
"Tianxuan Star, I don't have much impression. It is definitely not a planet in the star field where Ziyun Star is located."
"It's not a planet in the star field where the earth is."
"However, she entered the realm of Yuan Dan when she was only about twenty years old... Since that planet can produce such a martial arts genius, it means that it is not an unknown small planet. When I leave Ziyun Star in the future, I can inquire a little bit. It’s not hard to find out.”
"By the way... I almost forgot, the bile of the powerful bear has not been processed yet!"
Thinking of the bear bile of the powerful bear, Zhou Donghuang immediately found a pen and paper, wrote down a lot of medicinal materials, and then gave it to Ah Fu, asking him to buy all the medicinal materials on it.
These medicinal materials, combined with the bear bile of the strong bear, can be used to prepare a medicinal powder called 'Zengqi Powder', which can forcibly increase the strength of the Qi in a short period of time and last for ten breaths.
The increased strength of Qi is so strong that it exceeds a thousand catties.
In addition, the Zengqi Powder prepared by Zhou Donghuang is different from ordinary Zengqi Powder and does not have any side effects.
Generally, Zengqi Powder has more or less side effects, and the effect is not as good as the Zengqi Powder formulated by Zhou Donghuang.
That night, Ah Fu delivered the medicinal materials to his door.
And Zhou Donghuang used the bear bile of the Nine-level Qi Gathering Demonic Beast Vigorous Bear to prepare ten bottles of Qi-increasing powder and stuffed them into his arms for emergencies.
…
January 11, 1229 in the Ziyun calendar.
This day is also the day when the Tang family, the most powerful family in the Chu royal city, holds a banquet for all the wealthy and above-rich families in the Chu royal city. It is the Chu royal palace, and the Tang family has also sent out invitations.
Of course, although the Tang family sent an invitation to the Prince of Chu's Mansion to entertain the prince of the Prince of Chu's Mansion, it was definitely impossible for him to come. At most, they could send just one person to deal with it.
Even the heads of the top wealthy families are basically unable to attend the banquet. At best, they would send elders from their families there.
After all, the Tang family is, at best, just a high-class family.
"The Tang family held a banquet this time just to express their gratitude to one person in a big way?"
"Yes. It is said that more than ten days ago, the head of the Tang family, the first elder of the Tang family, and the second elder of the Tang family entered the mysterious forest and encountered a powerful bear, and were almost killed by the powerful bear... The critical moment was The man came to their rescue."
"The powerful bear? As far as I know, there is only one powerful bear in the Lost Forest. It is an adult. It is a ninth-level Qi-gathering monster. It is also the most powerful monster in the Lost Forest second only to the two golden-crowned eagles."
"That's right! It's the powerful bear that even the Qi Gathering Small Perfection Martial Arts monks can't kill."
"To be able to save the three people of the Tang family from the powerful bear, even if it is the powerful bear who joins forces with the three of the Tang family to retreat, the opponent must be at least a ninth-level Qi gathering martial arts monk."
"If the three of the Tang family were to die there, the Tang family would be reduced from a powerful family to a wealthy family... With such kindness, it is no wonder that the Tang family held a grand banquet to express their gratitude to each other."
…
Similar remarks were circulated everywhere in Chu King City.
Obviously, the Tang family, the powerful family hosting the banquet today, did not spread the details, only superficial things.
For example, the person who saved the three members of the Tang family was just a young man.
For example, the powerful bear has been killed, not forced back as everyone guessed.
Another example is that the powerful bear was killed by that young man alone.
As for these details, Tang Liunian, the head of the Tang family, and two elders of the Tang family, who were involved, had only told people close to them, and the news had not spread widely.
…
The main entrance of the Tang family's mansion.
Because the Tang family was hosting a dinner party, starting in the evening, people began to come to the gate of the Tang family's mansion and show invitations to enter the Tang family's mansion.
At first, there were relatively few people coming.
Soon, more and more people came, and a small queue even began to form.
"People from the Shi family are here!"
In the small team, someone recognized the two people who had just stepped off the carriage and walked towards the gate of the Tang family's mansion. "It's the second master of the Shi family, Shi Yan. The young man beside him is the eldest young master of the Shi family, Shi Yu." ”
Shi Yan is a middle-aged man wearing a gold-rimmed silver robe. He has a resolute face, piercing eyes, and a mustache on his chin. He looks very shrewd.
Shi Yu, wearing a gray and white robe today, walked side by side with Shi Yan, and his face looked much better than before.
"Master Shi! Master Shi!"
The Shi family is also the first big family to arrive so far. Several people in the small team are just members of wealthy families. Seeing the arrival of the Shi family, they all gave way and consciously jumped in line for them.
This is the power of a powerful family, even the top wealthy families cannot match it.
"Here comes the head of the Wei family! The person beside him is none other than the eldest young master of the Wei family, Wei Hongtao. This Wei Hongtao is also the number one among the younger generation of our wealthy and aristocratic family in King Chu City!"
Not long after the two people from the Shi family entered, people from the Wei family, a top wealthy family, also arrived. The head of the Wei family arrived in person, accompanied by the eldest young master of the Wei family.
Obviously, the Wei family attaches great importance to today's banquet of the Tang family.
But this is normal. After all, the Wei family is just a wealthy family, and they have to curry favor with the Tang family in many ways.
"Is that... the Ouyang family's carriage?"
However, whether it was a visitor from the Shi family or a visitor from the Wei family, their attractiveness was far less than that of a carriage approaching from a distance.
That carriage, with two large characters embroidered on the door curtain, attracted the attention of a group of onlookers at the gate of the Tang family's residence from a distance.
Ouyang.
Obviously, this is the Ouyang family's carriage.
In King Chu City, there was only one Ouyang family, the Ouyang family, a powerful family.
The Ouyang family has three ninth-level Qi-gathering martial arts monks and nearly ten eighth-level Qi-gathering martial arts monks. It is one of the only three top noble families in the King of Chu's city.
Now, the people standing near the gate of the Tang family's mansion and watching are basically not people from wealthy or above families, they are just passers-by who come to join in the fun.
"I don't know who is coming from the Ouyang family."
"It's definitely impossible for the head of the Ouyang family to come... In my opinion, it should be the first elder or the third elder of the Ouyang family."
…
There are three Qi Gathering Ninth Level Martial Arts monks in the Ouyang family, namely the head of the Ouyang family, the first elder of the Ouyang family, and the third elder of the Ouyang family.
A moment later, in front of everyone, a sturdy old man wearing a gray robe walked out of the carriage, jumped off the carriage lightly, and walked towards the Tang family's mansion.
Soon, someone recognized the old man, "It's the third elder of the Ouyang family, Ouyang Zhen!"
Ouyang Zhen is one of the only three martial arts monks at the ninth level of Qi Gathering in the Ouyang family, and his status in the Ouyang family is extremely high.
A ninth-level Qi Gathering martial arts monk, even if placed within the entire Western Chu Wangling Range, was a giant-level figure. Ouyang Zhen's appearance undoubtedly attracted everyone's attention.
"Elder Ouyang Zhen!"
Even the children of the Tang family who were guarding the gate of the Tang family's mansion were far more respectful when meeting Ouyang Zhen than when they were facing anyone who had entered before.
This is the power of a ninth-level Qi Gathering martial arts monk.
…
The Zheng family's mansion, the main entrance.
"Quick! Quick!"
A middle-aged man, with a girl dressed in a flashy dress, hurriedly got into the carriage that had been parked outside the gate, and then the carriage drove towards the Tang family's mansion.
"Qiu He, you are too slow... Our Zheng family is just a lower-class wealthy family. If we arrive late, the Tang family will have a bad impression of us."
Inside the carriage, a middle-aged man, Zheng Donglai, the head of the wealthy Zheng family, frowned slightly and said to the girl sitting opposite.
The girl is none other than his daughter, the third young lady of the Zheng family, Zheng Qiuhe.
"Hehe... Dad, isn't this just to look nice?"
Zheng Qiuhe chuckled and said, "Didn't you tell me the night before that the benefactor who the Tang family held a grand banquet to thank today was a young man?"
Zheng Donglai was startled at first, then smiled, "So Qiu He, you have this intention... Okay, okay, okay!"
"Qiu He, if you can get along well with that young man, even if you just become his concubine, our Zheng family's success will be just around the corner!"
Zheng Donglai got close to a direct descendant of the Tang family.
The day before yesterday, he learned from the other party that the benefactor the Tang family held a banquet to thank was just a young man who was about to become an adult.
Moreover, that young man also had the strength to kill a powerful bear by himself.
At that time, Zheng Donglai realized:
If the news is true, that young man must be a high-ranking figure, and the power behind the young man is very likely to be more powerful than Yaowang Valley!
