Chapter Twenty-Three

In the lobby of the Gaofu Mansion, Lingzhu looked at the guests who came to curry favor with him. He had a headache and his cheeks ached. He had been pretending to smile for too long...

The city lord's dinner tonight is not simple.

There were more than ten tables inside and outside, all of them were important bigwigs in Shadowmoon City, including grandmasters who founded sects, wealthy businessmen, and high-profile officials.

The entire Shadowmoon City was in a state of excitement because of the arrival of the eldest princess.

Because the City Lord's Mansion invited the eldest princess into the palace, its status in the hearts of everyone was rising steadily. Some people who didn't know what was going on felt that the eldest princess was behind the city lord's palace, and the Gao Mansion also announced to the outside world that the eldest princess came specifically to visit Gao.

It belongs to the old lady of the mansion.

Since Jiang Hu was Lingzhu's apprentice, he was placed next to Lingzhu.

Lingzhu takes the main seat, Jiang Hu sits on the left, Gao Laotaijun sits on the right, followed by Gao Fu, in order of status.

Lingzhu looked at Jiang Hu's new clothes in disbelief.

Is this guy still his apprentice? If his face wasn't a bit dark, he could be called a pretty boy. Before, he looked like a beast in rags, but now he looks dignified and well-dressed. It's really a world of difference.

"Little fox, please don't embarrass me for a while, or I'll see how my master deals with you."

Lingzhu came over and bit Jiang Hu's ear. His voice was very low, and it was a sound transmission method, so only he could hear it.

Everyone's eyes were hot, but they could only envy, envy, and hate him, because he had a good life and worshiped the eldest princess as his master.

Lingzhu is extremely popular in Huochao. She is the darling girl of the original world and a genius that Huochao has not produced for a hundred years. However, the good cabbage was given to the pig. All the young talents on the scene wished they could kill Jiang Hu.

Instead.

Everyone's eyes were focused on the master and apprentice, especially the younger one. The eyes he looked at Jiang Hu were full of hostility and resentment. If eyes could kill, he would probably have died thousands of times.

The look in the knife man's eyes was impossible to hide.

The master bit his ears and spoke, but he did not dare to answer. He was not at the level of Lingzhu who could transmit sound, and he would be exposed as soon as he spoke. Too many words will lead to mistakes. There are old foxes and little foxes here, and they cannot reveal their details.

, I could only listen with my ears open and secretly speculate in my heart.

At the banquet, there was no intrigue as imagined, but a happy atmosphere. Although there were countless malicious looks, the looks could not kill anyone. Jiang Hu secretly put down his guard and ate the meat and rice with small bites, which was very satisfying.

"Your Royal Highness, is this your new disciple, nephew of Jiang Hu?"

A handsome young man stood up to toast and smiled at Lingzhu.

Lingzhu was slightly surprised when he saw this man, and raised glasses to each other. "This is my canine disciple, Jiang Hu." Seeing that the so-called good disciple was still enjoying the hot food, Lingzhu really wanted to give him a few slaps.

Eat eat eat, you know how to eat.

"Disciple, why don't you meet Master Gao Feng soon?"

Dogs is a kind of nickname. Huochao regards dogs as mythical animals, and Dogs means beloved disciples. Just like dogs and dogs, they are both nicknames and endearments.

Although these river foxes didn't understand, fortunately Master didn't call him a dog disciple, and he felt inexplicably grateful in his heart.

"Uncle Gao Feng, my nephew is polite."

The young man was neither humble nor arrogant. He stood up and saluted with fists in his hands.

"My nephew has a majestic appearance and impressive equipment. He is really a dragon and a phoenix. I wonder what his realm is?"

Lingzhu's face started to look a little ugly.

Obviously, it is very embarrassing to tell about the state of this apprentice. The original master's exercise of body and energy is not worth mentioning.

There is no strict hierarchy among the original masters. Jiang Hu has just started and belongs to the entry-level level of the original master. He is the most talented group in the practice. It can be referred to as: the poor group, also known as the young ones.

"To be honest, it's not worth mentioning that the original master started to exercise his body and Qi."

"Oh? Hahaha, you are starting to become a master? You are starting to become a master at such a young age. You are really a genius!"

"Hahahaha, it turns out it's a baby..."

The crowd burst into laughter and made sarcastic remarks.

Lingzhu's face turned crimson, and he wished he could slap his brainless apprentice to death. Why did he become so honest? Wasn't he quite capable before? He no longer had a thick skin like a city wall?

I only blame myself for being blind and bringing him to this place of right and wrong to gain perspective, but it turned out to be a joke.

These people will definitely publicize to the outside world that the eldest princess has taken in a boy of fourteen or fifteen years old, but he is still just a young boy who is exercising his body and energy.

At the age of fourteen or fifteen, if he were an ordinary master, he would have already mastered the practice of refining qi to leave the body.

"...To be honest, the original energy existed in my alchemy as soon as I was born. I was born as an original master. No one taught me before. I just had the original energy. I am not a true original master yet, but since then

After the master accepted me, under her careful guidance, I gathered my energy and entered the elixir in one day, and successfully became an original master. In just three months, I can now gather my energy and forge my body, and I am a true original master."

"Wow..."

The place was boiling.

The innate elixir contains the force of the force. He is simply a unique martial arts prodigy!

You must know that it is very difficult to enter the original master. The gap between ordinary people and the original master is that the difficulty of getting started is too great, which has cut off countless ordinary people's dreams of becoming original masters.

Beginning masters need to exercise to open up the meridians throughout the body, gather air and nourish the acupoints and elixirs in the body.

All these things are not something that ordinary people can do independently, but he is actually a natural master, that is, he is born with clear acupoints, which is simply astonishing for heavenly beings!

Most of the people present have practiced for more than a year before entering the original master. It takes four or five months for those with good talent. It is normal for those with poor talent to enter the original master in four or five years. Some people can't.

Step into the ranks of original masters without relying on heavenly materials or earthly treasures.

And this young man is extremely talented. After one day of apprenticeship, he can gather Qi into his body. In three months, he can become a true master of physical training and Qi training. Calculating like this, his future prospects are limitless.

"This is a fucking genius!"

"It's amazing! My eyes are opened..."

"Sure enough, the eldest princess is so discerning that she can find such a person as her apprentice."

Everyone began to whisper, some gasped, some shook their heads and sighed, some refused to believe it, some were desperate, and some looked constipated as if they had eaten shit.

Whether a person has the talent for cultivation depends on whether he can communicate with the energy of heaven and earth for his own use, transform it into the original force in the body, break acupoints, open up orifices, and possess the original force.

This is the most essential barrier between ordinary people and practitioners. If you cross it, you are a practicing person. If you cannot cross it, you can only be an ant at the bottom.

Lingzhu secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

This little guy really knows how to talk nonsense, and the whole audience was shocked by his deception, but there is no way to verify this, so just let him say whatever he likes.

He had mastered the power of fire in one day, which was enough to make him look proud of the entire original world. At that time, she thought it was unbelievable that this young man was either a monster or an evildoer.

If everyone knew this, I'm afraid this group of people would become even more uneasy.

because,

It is said that the original masters who practice multi-attribute force are either unable to practice normally and stagnate, or they die young when their talents are revealed. There are very few who can practice hard and finally reach the peak. It can be said that danger and future coexist.

so,

As long as enough time is given to cultivate it, and it sprouts and grows smoothly along the way, under the guidance of a genius like himself, the young man's achievements will not be worse than his own.

Looking at the shocked expressions of everyone, Lingzhu picked up the wine glass and took a sip. His sleeves covered his red face, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised.

"I do not believe!"

A young boy stood up and shouted, and then several more teenagers stood up and shouted, refusing to believe this fact.

"How can it be?"

"Impossible, this is absolutely impossible!"

This is probably how young people feel.

The old lady smiled and tapped the bluestone floor with her faucet crutch, making a thumping sound. The noisy scene quieted down, but many young talents present were filled with indignation and did not believe the boy's nonsense at all.

The old lady scanned the crowd, turned around and asked Lingzhu with a smile: "Eldest Princess? Is what the noble disciple said true?"

"My disciple's body is different from ordinary people. When I first met him, I could tell at a glance that he was different. He was a unique cultivation genius..."

Lingzhu had no choice but to follow Jiang Hu's words. There were many enemies and we were outnumbered, so we had to match our words and deeds and unite as one to deceive everyone.

These young people are relatively simple-minded and only want to cause trouble for Jiang Hu. But these old foxes are the most difficult to deal with. Their target is the eldest princess and they want to get benefits from her.

The more the better.

Therefore, Lingzhu will naturally not go as he wishes.

The reason why Jiang Hu said this was well-founded. Although the original owner had been stupid since he was a child, he had possessed the Force since he was born. He was an extremely rare person born with the Force. He caused a sensation in Shacheng for a long time at that time.

It's just that he was born with a brain defect and was slow in cultivation. People often made fun of him about this matter.

Therefore, his father Jiang Fugui and his family disliked the original owner even more. Erlang Jiang Hu also often laughed at him and bullied him. Only Da Lang was the best to him.

whispers all around,

Most people obviously believed what the eldest princess said, but there were still a few people who didn't believe it, and most of the young talents took the opportunity to sneer at it.

"Hahaha, Young Master Jiang Hu is really a heroic young man. I, Gao Tianxiang, would like to give you a drink to Young Master Jiang."

The scene was a bit chaotic. A tall young man stood up to make a toast. His fat face was full of smiles. He seemed to want to act as peacemaker. He stretched out his wine glass towards Jiang Hu and drank it all in one gulp.

"Ah, good wine! I'll drink it first as a token of respect." He said and emptied the wine glass to show his pride.

Jiang Hu also raised his glass and drank it down in one gulp, and nodded gratefully to the man.

But,

Immediately afterwards, several young boys and girls stood up to raise their glasses and toast, and they took turns. Each boy and girl was slightly excited, and they seemed to want to get the boy drunk and make him look embarrassed.

Only then did Jiang Hu realize that he was still too naive and that others had ulterior motives for treating him well.

Even the master is planning to let his apprentice take care of her until she retires.

Thinking of this, I smiled slightly.

Facing the toasts from many young people, Jiang Hu had already prepared a countermeasure.

Yuan masters with advanced cultivation can use the force to force out the Jiu Jin in the body, but Jiang Hu obviously has not reached this level. Only by reaching the state of controlling Qi and transforming can the Jiu Jin in the body be forced out. Everyone has already seen through this, so they all took action.

Cup, here comes the personal sea tactics.

Lingzhu wanted to speak for his apprentice and stop everyone's plan. Unexpectedly, Jiang Hu gave her a wink. The two had been together for a long time and had already understood each other. The girl understood instantly. It is said that Minato's water power can dilute poison.

With the effect of alcohol, could it be that this little guy actually used the same method to treat others.

Fortunately he could figure it out.

After several rounds of drinking, all the young men were blushing. One or two young men had only drank five or six glasses before they were on the verge of collapse. No one expected that the young men were so good at drinking. They had already drank forty or fifty glasses and were still calm.

Xian is simply a monster.

Everyone's eyes widened when they saw it, and they were secretly worried about the young disciples of Gaofu, fearing that they would make a fool of themselves.

"Don't just focus on drinking. There are so many dishes left uneaten. They will all get cold. We can't waste them."

The old lady tried to stop him, but she finally figured it out. There seemed to be something fishy about the boy's body, as if there was some kind of skill or elixir that could relieve the hangover.

If these young men continue to compete with him for wine, they will only lose miserably and lose the face of the Gaofu.

"Hahaha, what Mother said is absolutely true. Young ladies, please put down your wine glasses for the time being. It's still a long time, so don't let down the delicious food."

Gao Fu also spoke quickly. If this continues, those family members with low cultivation level will soon become drunk.

The young disciples were extremely sad and angry, and they all looked very unconvinced, but the old lady tried to stop her and must not refute her face.

Everyone gave up one after another, feeling unhappy.

"Princess, where is Young Master Jiang from? His accent doesn't sound like that of a Huochao person, but rather like someone from the Watergate country. You must know that Jiang Xing is a popular surname in Shuimen, and there are very few people with the Huochao surname Jiang."

The old lady smiled half-heartedly, and her eyes were squinting like an old fox spying on people's hearts.
