The place where Bowang Hou held the banquet was in the imperial garden of the palace, and the format of the banquet was similar to a cocktail party. This arrangement could make the guests feel more comfortable, and it was also to facilitate the contact between different forces and Kong Ming.
Most of the people attending the dinner were old acquaintances of Kong Ming. When Kong Ming first arrived at the Guest House, almost all of them were led by Bowang Hou and met Kong Ming. Of course, there were also several powerful men who met Kong Ming for the first time. If nothing else, they should be from the three major sects.
When Prince Bowang saw Kong Ming arrive, he immediately came up to him with a smile and said to Kong Ming: "Fellow Daoist Kong, you are here at the right time. I would like to introduce you to a few friends from the same Taoism."
As Bowang Hou spoke, he pointed to a middle-aged man next to him who was dressed as a scholar and looked elegant: "This is the elder of the Xiaoyao Sect, King Xiaoxiang. He is a world-famous talent in the Dongzhou region. His "Geography of Dongzhou" is a masterpiece that has been handed down from generation to generation, not to mention in the world of cultivation. It has been sold well in more than a thousand countries, almost everyone has a copy, and its reputation can be said to be all over the world!"
Kong Ming was a scholar, so he naturally had a special liking for scholars among practitioners, and he immediately greeted King Xiaoxiang politely.
At this time, Bowang Hou did not need to take the initiative to introduce him, but a rough voice spoke from the side: "Bo Wanghou, haven't you human race always regarded yourself as a land of etiquette? Why are there so many guests now, but you have to introduce King Xiaoxiang first? Get acquainted with Daoist Kong Daoyou? Can’t I, the king, get to know fellow Daoist Kong Daoyou first?”
This rough voice claiming to be the king was uttered by a king-level strongman of the beast race with a leopard head and body. Firstly, Bowang Hou was a landlord, and secondly, his cultivation level was at a different level from that of this strong beast clan man, so it was naturally impossible for him to be at odds with him. Fortunately, Bowang Hou is a smart man and naturally has his own methods to deal with such a situation. He just laughed and said: "Everyone knows that Leopard Shadow King is always quick to talk. No, I don't need to introduce him. Leopard Shadow King doesn't count. Have you met fellow Taoist Kong?"
Having said this, Bowang Hou turned to Kong Ming and said: "Fellow Daoist Kong, this Leopard Shadow King is also a famous and powerful person among the king-level beings in Ten Thousand Beasts Villa. He is known as the number one in the king-level because of his speed. If there is a chance, Fellow Daoist Kong will ask him for more advice."
At this time, Kong Ming naturally did not lose his etiquette and greeted Leopard Shadow King politely.
Next to Bowang Hou, there is another king-level being, who is obviously from a foreign race. His body is much taller than that of the average human race. The most obvious feature is that he is born with two horns. However, although this alien king-level being looked very ferocious in appearance, his expression was very friendly. Before Bowang Hou introduced him, he said from the side: "Since Leopard Shadow King has already rushed to get acquainted with Kong Daoyou, Then I am naturally not willing to lag behind. I am titled the King of Shiling. I am not that powerful among many of my colleagues, but I am good at being an honest man. I have never had a bad reputation. I believe that I can make friends with Kong Daoyou. Really. To be honest, this king is from Fanxiang Valley, Taoist friend Kong can probably guess it."
This King of Shiling claims to be sincere, and he has also revealed his identity to Kong Ming straight to the point. He is probably not someone who talks nonsense, because if he really wants to put gold on his face, how can King Xiaoxiang and King Leopard Shadow not be sarcastic
Although it was just the first time he met these three king-level experts, Kong Ming was already sure that these three must be the kind of all-rounded figures among the three major sects. Otherwise, they would not have been arranged to come to the Bowang Dynasty. The purpose was of course to persuade Kong Ming to join the sect.
Bowang Hou is obviously closer to King Xiaoxiang, but he cannot offend King Leopard Shadow and King Shiling. Since they have already introduced them to meet Kong Ming, how they lobby next depends on their own abilities. . Of course, if given the chance, Bowang Hou would certainly say a few good words for King Xiaoxiang.
After the protagonist Kong Ming arrived, the dinner began quickly. King Leopard Shadow was worthy of being a king-level existence known for his speed. He was also the fastest to find Kong Ming. When Bowang Hou just announced the start of the dinner, Leopard Shadow The king held up a wine glass and came to Kong Ming's side. After toasting to Kong Ming, he said frankly: "Fellow Daoist Kong, since you know that this king likes to talk quickly, I will not go around in circles with you, and I will speak directly to the point." , the purpose of my king coming to Bowang Dynasty is to want fellow Daoist Kong to join our Ten Thousand Beasts Villa. Maybe Kong Daoyou feels that as a human race, joining Ten Thousand Beasts Villa will cause a lot of inconveniences, but I can represent several beast emperors here. This guarantees that once Fellow Daoist Kong joins our Ten Thousand Beasts Villa, he will never receive any unfair treatment, and a large amount of cultivation resources will be provided to Fellow Daoist Kong to help Fellow Daoist Kong make rapid progress in cultivation. I dare not say anything else, as long as Fellow Daoist Kong agreed to join Ten Thousand Beasts Villa, and I will immediately offer you a King-Sealing Pill!"
The so-called King-Sealing Pill is a top-level elixir for a Marquis-level being to break through the cultivation bottleneck and advance to the King-level. Taking one King-Sealing Pill can increase the chance of becoming a King by about 20%, which is extremely high even in Baishengtian. A rare elixir.
As an ascendant, Kong Ming would normally think that he was a cultivator at the level of a feudal lord, so the Prince-Feng Dan was naturally very attractive to him. However, after Kong Ming hid his aura, no one, including Bowang Hou, really noticed that Kong Ming only had the cultivation level of an intermediate Yuan Sage. If the major sects really want to know this, their competition for Kong Ming's heart will definitely become more intense, because being able to ascend with holy level cultivation, how much potential does this represent? If such a cultivator is not caught, should other sects be allowed to get it
As for the Leopard Shadow King, even though he came into contact with Kong Ming so quickly, he looked very reckless. In fact, he had a small calculation, because he was the first to contact Kong Ming, so he came out on top. If you make a choice quickly, isn't it equivalent to getting a big bargain
Leopard Shadow King has such a wishful thinking, how could the others not have any ideas? I saw King Shiling approaching quickly, and he also said straight to the point: "Fellow Daoist Kong, although my speed is not as fast as that of Leopard Shadow King, to be honest, I am famous for it. Ten Thousand Beasts Villa only gives Fellow Daoist Kong provides a King-Sealing Pill, which is really stingy. If Fellow Daoist Kong is willing to join us in Fanxiang Valley, then there is no limit to the number of King-Sealing Pills and will be provided until Fellow Daoist Kong is promoted to the King-Sealing level!"
King Shiling was indeed telling the truth, but it was not entirely true that he had no other intentions. Although Fanxiang Valley seems generous, saying that there is no limit to the number of King-Sealing Pills, in fact, as a Kong Ming ascender, his qualifications cannot be bad, and it is very possible that he can be successfully promoted with only one King-Sealing Pill. The price you need to pay to become a king-level existence is essentially the same as Ten Thousand Beasts Villa, but it sounds much better if you put it another way.
Who says honest people have no heart? Even if King Shiling tells the truth, he can still tell the tricks.
King Leopard Shadow and King Shiling had already offered conditions. King Xiaoxiang could not ignore them. He also took a step forward, came to Kong Ming's side and said with a smile: "You two are guests from afar, but you are still here." You are so rude, why are you pestering fellow Taoist Kong even after the banquet has just begun?"
King Shiling did not answer immediately, but King Leopard Shadow rushed to the side and said: "King Xiaoxiang, if you were not in a hurry, you wouldn't have rushed over so quickly, right? Why, let's give Fellow Daoist Kong a fair chance to choose. You Can I still say no?"
King Xiaoxiang still looked personable and said politely: "Of course I will not have any doubts about the choice that Fellow Daoist Kong will make, but I hope that Fellow Daoist Kong can understand and do what he wants." As a cultivation sect of the human race, even if we, Xiaoyao Sect, are to devote all our efforts to provide cultivation resources for fellow Taoist Kong, that is what we should do. I wonder if Ten Thousand Beasts Villa and Fanxiang Valley can do this?"
King Shiling, who was telling the truth, shook his head at this time and said: "King Xiaoxiang, I'm afraid your words are too exaggerated? Xiaoyao Sect is a big sect no matter what. Is it possible that the only cultivator in the sect is Kong Dao? Friend one person? How is it possible to pool all the resources of the sect for Fellow Daoist Kong to practice? Besides, Fellow Daoist Kong is not such a selfish person, and he will never delay the entire Xiaoyao Sect for his own personal gain!"
King Xiaoxiang did not rush to refute King Shiling, but said calmly: "I expressed my position like this because I hope fellow Daoist Kong can understand that the Xiaoyao Sect can provide him with the maximum help. This is an advantage that can only come from being of the same human race. , it is impossible for Ten Thousand Beasts Villa and Fanxiang Valley to do this. I believe that Fellow Daoist Kong will make a wise choice!"
As King Xiaoxiang said this, the three king-level beings all set their sights on Kong Ming, wanting to see how Kong Ming would express his stance now. As for the conditions, they can naturally be discussed further.
Kong Ming glanced around at King Xiaoxiang, King Leopard Shadow, and King Shiling, and then said slowly: "Everyone, Kong has not made the final decision yet, but there is one thing that Kong wants to ask, that is, I don't know what Kong is doing." Can I put forward my own conditions?"
King Xiaoxiang and others laughed at the same time and said: "Of course, but I don't know what Daoist Kong's request is? As long as we can do it, everything can be discussed."
Kong Ming said word by word: "To be honest, Kong was in a bit of a hurry when he ascended. There are still many things that he can't let go of in his own plane. I feel very regretful in my heart. I wonder which sect has a way for Kong to go back and forth?" From the lower realm? As long as he can do this, Kong can join the sect without any other benefits!"
