Chapter Five Hundred and Thirteen: Liang Family Birthday Banquet
So Qingyang nodded and agreed to Duan Rusong's invitation, and then he and his family of three headed towards Yuling City. The married woman, Yun Xiaomei, was particularly talkative and introduced her main experiences in these years along the way.
Again, Duan Rusong didn't seem to regard Qingyang as an outsider. When it came to important points, he would interrupt to explain a few words. Only their son Duan Liangyu seemed a little shy when meeting strangers and hardly spoke.
Qingyang didn't say much. Since Duan Rusong and Yun Xiaomei mistakenly thought that Qingyang was still at the Pulse Opening Realm like them, he didn't go out of his way to expose it. If the other party knew his true cultivation level, they would get along better.
On the contrary, he felt uncomfortable. Therefore, Qingyang didn't say much about his own affairs. Only when they asked, he would make a few casual remarks.
Duan Rusong and Yun Xiaomei disagreed with this, thinking that Qingyang had not been doing well in recent years and was too embarrassed to say more, so they did not go out to poke the scars. Also, when he went to the mountains to practice, Qingyang had broken through to the sixth level of the Kai Pulse Realm.
He looks young and promising, but nineteen years have passed and he has only advanced to two levels of cultivation. It is normal to feel a little ashamed.
Although they didn't get along for a long time, Qingyang left a deep impression on the two of them, especially Yun Xiaomei, who sympathized with Qingyang's situation and said: "It seems that Taoist friend Qingyang has also been very unsatisfactory these years.
Ah, how about you go to the Liang family with Brother Duan, so that you can have someone to take care of you in the future."
Duan Rusong also said: "Yes, with the Green Yang Fruit, it is equivalent to a stepping stone to enter the Liang family. The Liang family is one of the big families in Yuling City. If the Qingyang brothers can have some relationship with the Liang family, they will be better in this life."
You will have no worries about food and clothing. For casual cultivators like us at the lowest level, it is not an extravagant hope to join the Immortal Sect. You have worked hard over the years to accumulate some spiritual stones and elixirs, and then ask my little sister to introduce you to a like-minded dual cultivator.
Husband and wife, train the next generation well. Not to mention establishing a family of cultivators, at least the starting point of your children will be higher than others..."
The two of them talked a lot along the way, and Qingyang could tell that because they had been living as low-level casual cultivators for many years and were unable to break through to the realm of Qi refining, their original energy had been completely worn away. Now.
They have long since lost all other pursuits. Their only purpose is to train their son Duan Liangyu to become a talented person.
Looking at Duan Rusong and Yun Xiaomei, who were like those parents in the secular world who expected their children to succeed, Qingyang couldn't help but sigh with emotion. Even if he became a monk, he still couldn't escape his fate. Fortunately, he was lucky enough to join the Immortal Sect. Otherwise, wouldn't it be the same?
Like them?
Qingyang also agreed to Duan Rusong and Yun Xiaomei's proposal. He came back this time just for the Liang family's affairs. There was no harm in going with them. However, he went to the Liang family this time to cause trouble. He only hoped that in the end
Don't involve them.
Because they brought Duan Liangyu, who was at the third level of the Pulse Opening Realm, the three of them did not travel very fast along the way. They returned to Yuling City nine days later, and there was only one day left before the birthday of the head of the Liang family. Qingyang was not in a hurry to do anything.
, but spent a day shopping in Yuling City, bought some things that might be used, and then stayed in an inn.
Early the next morning, Duan Rusong and Yun Xiaomei came over with their son, and then the three of them went to the Liang family together. The Liang family is one of the famous casual cultivator families in Yuling City, and there are ancestors in the family who are in the foundation building period.
Being in charge, such a big family is not something that ordinary people can afford. Even if the Qi Refining monks come, they may not be able to receive courtesy. As for Duan Rusong, the low-level Pulse Opening Realm monks, they will not be able to do so unless they are given generous gifts.
Opportunity to enter the Liang family.
The annual income of the disciples of the Seven Great Immortal Sect's outer courtyard is only about ten spirit stones. The income of casual cultivators in Yuling City is even less. They just wish to celebrate their birthday and can give gifts worth two or three spirit stones.
It is already considered a generous gift, and it is rare to reach ten spiritual stones.
Seeing Duan Rusong offering three Green Sun Fruits at once, with a total value of nearly ten spiritual stones, the person in charge of receiving and registering the gifts from the Liang family was also very surprised, and quickly put away the words he had used when facing the Kaimai Realm monks.
He welcomed them into Liang's house enthusiastically.
After all, the cultivation level of Duan Rusong and others was not high. The reason why they were more enthusiastic than before was because of the gifts. It was impossible to receive such good treatment. Finally, they were led to the square where the birthday banquet was held.
There is an empty table arranged in a corner.
Qingyang did not intend to alarm the Liang family in advance, so he kept using the Breath Condensation Technique to control his cultivation at the eighth level of the Pulse Opening Realm. The One-horned Ghost King's Breath Condensation Technique was very clever, unless his cultivation level was too much higher than Qingyang's higher-ups.
Or maybe they have practiced a special breath-discriminating technique to be able to see through Qingyang's disguise. However, they were sitting relatively far back. Almost all the monks around them were in the pulse-opening realm, and there were very few even in the early stage of Qi training.
See, it is naturally impossible for anyone to discover the specialness of Qingyang.
There are many monks in Yuling City. Although Duan Rusong and Yun Xiaomei have been hanging out in Yuling City for decades, they have only come into contact with some low-level casual cultivators. Those who can come to the Liang family to celebrate their birthdays must have some relationship with the Liang family.
, so almost none of the guests present knew each other. The four of them sat quietly in the corner, chatting while waiting for the birthday banquet to begin.
The entire square is extremely huge, with at least hundreds of tables arranged. The people in the outer circle are almost all monks who have some relationship with the Liang family. Only Qi Refining monks are qualified to sit in the inner circle. As for other big families in Yuling City,
The people must be sitting at the VIP table at the end.
The birthday party for the head of the Liang family is considered a major event in Yuling City. People from all sizes in Yuling City attended, not only the Jada family, but also the city lord’s palace sent representatives. About an hour later, the tables in the square
As the seats gradually filled up, the head of the Liang family appeared in the VIP area of the square accompanied by representatives from the City Lord's Mansion and several major families.
I haven't seen him for nineteen years. Liang Yudong, the head of the Liang family, has hardly changed. He has white hair and white beard, a kind face, and a rosy complexion. He seems to have lived a comfortable life these years.
When he was in Yuling City, Qingyang had heard that Liang Yudong was about seventy years old at that time, and his cultivation level was about the seventh level of Qi Refining. Now he should be nearly ninety years old, and he is older than Master Kangzhuang of Jingfeng Mountain.
A few years older, his cultivation has improved a lot and he has reached the ninth level of Qi Refining. However, at nearly ninety years old, he has only a few more years to live. Even if Qingyang doesn't come, he has no chance to break through the foundation building.
Behind the leader of the Liang family, there were many important people of the Liang family, but Qingyang only knew Liang Yucai and Liang Qingtian. Liang Yucai's cultivation level was at the seventh level of Qi refining, while Liang Qingtian's cultivation level was even lower, only at the second level of Qi refining.
