Shen Ruiling picked a wing room on the east side and said to the two of them:

"Uncle Jiu, Fellow Daoist Zhou, I'll go in first."

"Well, let's rest, I've been on the way for a day." After that, Chen Huanming also picked a room and went in. Zhou Qiao bowed to the two and chose a room next to Chen Huanming.

Shen Ruiling walked into the room. The room was divided into two areas, one for the guests, with a table and several chairs. The inside was a place for practicing meditation, with a pillow mat on the bed. There was also an incense burner next to it, which emitted the fragrance that calmed the mind.

Sitting cross-legged on the pudding mat, Shen Ruiling started practicing by pursuing "Qingyun Jue". However, a second-level middle-grade spiritual vein here could not meet Shen Ruiling's cultivation needs. He took out two spirit stones from the storage jade box, held one in one hand, and used the exercises to absorb the spiritual power in the spirit stone.

As Shen Ruiling breathed out a breath of turbid air, the two spirit stones in his hand also turned into powder and scattered. After almost an hour of meditation and rest, all the consumption along the way was restored.

A respectful voice sounded at the door,

"Senior, my master has set up a banquet in the lobby to welcome him."

"Okay, I'll come right away." Shen Ruiling replied, getting up and standing up at the same time.

Shen Ruiling opened the door and saw Zhou Qiao coming out. Zhou Qiao smiled and said:

"My friend Chen is together."

"Where is my ninth uncle?" Shen Ruiling was curious why Chen Huanming didn't come out.

"Fellow Daoist Chen has been invited by the guards, let's go quickly." After that, he walked towards the lobby.

The corridors are twists and turns, and through exquisite and gorgeous buildings, there are many family servants who salute and say hello along the way. After these mortals stay here for a long time, they are less curious about immortal cultivators.

Shen Ruiling ignored them and walked proudly towards the lobby with Zhou Qiao. It took about half a stick of incense to walk to a building.

Shen Ruiling couldn't help but mutter in his heart:

"This house is so big, it's like a rich family."

In front of the building, a middle-aged man stood with his early stages of Qi training, dressed as a literati, with a kind look on his face.

Seeing Shen Ruiling and the others, they immediately came to meet with smiles and bowed:

"Please, please come from the two seniors, my father is waiting for two of you." The other party was not only enthusiastic, but also put his posture very low.

Shen Ruiling and the others followed the middle-aged man into the lobby. What caught my eye was a hall with carved beams and painted buildings, and a lake view hanging on the wall. The sunrise in the east was quite poetic. Several wooden tables had been arranged in the hall, all of which were carved from sandalwood. Chen Huanming and Shen Huantong were already sitting on the main table.

Seeing Shen Ruiling and the others coming, Chen Huantong stood up and welcomed:

"Please sit down, two fellow Taoists."

Shen Ruiling looked at it and there were only three of them and Chen Huantong on the table. They were all late-stage cultivators in Qi training, and they were still from Yunbi Peak. The one who could sit with them was Chen Huantong with the title of guarding.

Chen Huantong raised his wine glass and said to Shen Ruiling and the other two:

"Ask three fellow Taoists are here."

"Although you and I are not familiar with each other, they are also family members of the same generation. As a guard, don't be polite." Chen Huantong said.

After a while of greeting,

Chen Huantong pointed at Shen Ruiling and said:

"I have been away from the mountain for many years. I don't know whose family this friend is. It's really a blessing for me, Shen, to have such cultivation at such a young age."

"He is the grandson of the second brother's family."

"It's true that he is a dragon and a phoenix among people."

"You are polite." Shen Ruiling shied modestly.

...

As dishes were served, Shen Ruiling found that most of them were lake food, and the products in the water accounted for the majority, and he looked like he was consuming water by water.

Chen Huantong pointed to a few dishes and said:

"These are three unique dishes in our Binhu Town, Zhenze's Three Treasures."

"Zhenze Three Treasures?" I was stunned at first, and then I thought of what I saw in the family Sutra Library.

Zhenze Lake in Linhai County is a famous food, named after the three-flavor lake fresh ice fish, crystal shrimps, and spiritual clams. Therefore, it is said: Zhenze Three Treasures. This theory is customary and has a long history and is recorded in many books.

One treasure is an ice fish, which is more than two inches long and slightly round in length. It is like a jade hairpin, like boneless and intestineless, delicate and transparent, and has a color similar to silver. It is named because of its transparent body and crystal whiteness.

The fish meat is tender and rich in spiritual energy. An ice fish is comparable to refining a spirit stone under the food. It is even more excellent for water-attributed practitioners. Because the water spiritual power it contains is very essence, it is deeply loved by water-based monks.

The second treasure is crystal shrimp, with whiskers on the head, claws on the chest, protruding eyes, and fan-shaped tails. Most of them grow in open shallows with lush water and grass and calm wind. The crystal shrimp's shell is thin, and when it grows, it is transparent all over, as crystal as jade, with a slight brown spot. It is sweet and has unexpected effects on body-refining monks.

The Three Treasures are spiritual clams, which are a large clams living in Zhenze Lake. After years of precipitation, clam beads will be produced in the body. Although this clam meat also has the effect of replenishing spiritual power for monks, the clam beads nurtured from this spiritual clam are the real treasures.

Ordinary monks cannot just see their age from their faces. Qi training monks can look about twenty years younger than their actual age before they are sixty years old, and they will gradually grow older after they are sixty years old.

Once a monk builds his foundation, his life span will double. He may be an elderly monk during the Qi training period. When he reaches the foundation-building period, he will only be middle-aged, and his appearance will also become middle-aged.

Take Chen Huanchi as an example. He has been practicing Taoism for about a hundred years, and his life span is only half, so he looks middle-aged. However, some elderly people in their 80s and 90s have already looked old.

The biggest effect of clam beads is that monks can delay aging. Although their life span will not increase, they can make people look much younger and have a little effect on the beauty pill.

Therefore, this kind of clam bead is very popular among female cultivators in the Qi training stage. Even some female cultivators in the Foundation Establishment stage cannot avoid the common sense. I am afraid that only Jindan monks will regard this skin as if they have reached a certain level.

The three treasures of Zhenze bring great benefits, so the majority of the benefits of these things are occupied by Qingyun Sect. They have a fishing ground in Nanhu to raise these aquatic products and bring wealth to the sect.

Because the Shen family relies on a geographical advantage, they can drink a bite of soup, but they can earn hundreds of spiritual stones every year.

...

"Come on, this ice fish is fresh. I sent someone to catch it just now. You must know that this fish will die within an hour of water, and the effect will be much worse." Chen Huantong introduced proudly.

"At this time, I'm still going to the lake, and fellow Taoist is intent." Zhou Qiao said with a smile, and at the same time he picked up a piece into his bowl.

Shen Ruiling held a piece of fish in his mouth and immediately turned into a strand of spiritual power and drilled into his abdomen. After using the exercises to refine it, Shen Ruiling felt that his spiritual power had increased a little, and he couldn't help but be amazed.

"It is worthy of being known as Zhenze Yibao." Shen Ruilingguang said before that he didn't feel anything when he heard the book. Now, after trying it, he really feels its benefits.

You should know that although the Shen family can catch some ice fish by relying on Zhenze Lake, they do not have foundation-building monks or third-level flying monsters to transport them, and these fish will often die halfway.

Therefore, the family usually salvaged it and sold it to the Qingyun Sect monks in Nanhu for spirit stones, and there was no enjoyment on Yunbi Peak.

"This spiritual clam was sent by the Lu family in Yangshan. Although there are no clam beads, the meat is also very good." Chen Huantong introduced again.

"Yangshan Lu family?" Shen Ruiling looked puzzled.

"A family affiliated with Qi training is also near Zhenze Lake, which is about 500 miles away from here. You don't know if you don't manage family matters." Chen Huanming explained after seeing it.

Although Shen Ruiling likes to read some books in the Sutra Library, his family is really not as good as some of the clan elders in charge.

"By the way, they should also be affected by flooding this time, but their mountain gate is there. There are two more great perfect Qi training in the clan, which is much better than us." Chen Huanming thought for a while and said.

...

Next, a few people on the table began to discuss the defense issues in Binhu Town.

"I have ordered people to block the river and have crossbows installed on the city walls. However, these mortal weapons can only be useful to some first-level monsters, and there is no use for the second-level or above." Chen Huantong said.

"It would be great if mortals can help us solve some first-level monsters. We cultivators solve the problem of second-level monsters. This time we also brought four cloud-piercing crossbows from Yunbi Peak, which were matched with the magic array here. As long as there is no third-level monsters coming, we can defend them." Chen Huanming also expressed his opinion.

"It is impossible for a third-level monster. I have been a guard here for twenty years and have floods every year. I haven't seen a third-level monster once." Chen Huantong said with a smile.

...

"Everyone goes back and rest well, keep your spiritual power full, and at the same time let the mortals strengthen their fortifications and prepare to fight back at any time." Chen Huanming ordered.

Chen Huanming not only has the cultivation level of the ninth level of Qi Training, but also the elder of the family Huan, the clan members brought down from Yunbi Peak, and the clan members in Binhu Town all followed him.

After the banquet, the group returned to their residence and prepared.
