"The place in the mountains is too simple and it is not a place for a banquet. Please don't mind." Shu Lei said with some humility.
Chen Zining saw that the two tables were full of dishes, including mountain delicacies and aquatic products. They were extremely rich. It must have been a banquet prepared by the inn with all its strength.
Chen Zining shook his head and said with a smile: "Being able to eat and drink well when you are away from home is a great blessing. How dare you ask for more."
Wen Hui laughed and said: "When you come to Xiyuan County in the future, remember to let us know so that we can show our friendship as landlords and make your trip worthwhile."
In Chen Zining's view, these four people all have shadows of disciples of aristocratic families. It is not surprising. For a sect like Taihua Sect, which has been inherited for thousands of years and has an extremely strong foundation, except for super families like the five major aristocratic families, the rest of the aristocratic families
Even in its eyes, many aristocratic families let the most outstanding descendants of the family enter the sect in order to gain glory and find a big backer for the family. Just one registered disciple who can enter the sect can make the family famous.
They tried every possible means and even fought to the death.
Under such a background, very few civilians can stand out in the sect's opening ceremony and rise to the top in one step. Even a small village like Chenjia Village has kept bandits away for hundreds of years and dare not come to blackmail them.
It is precisely because of the background of Xuan Jade Fruit that the younger generations have laid a solid foundation since childhood. Compared with other villages, they are always one step ahead, and their strength has always been at the top of Yunjieling.
Chen Zining and other five people sat at one table with these four people, while Yang Shangping and eight people sat at another table.
During the banquet, everyone started talking about the "Naoyun Ranking" of Changfeng College and the latest "Rookie Ranking" released by Sihailou this year. Shu Lei and the other four people all looked disapproving.
The relatively quiet Bai Shiyun said: "Sihailou's ranking on the "Rookie List" is indeed fair, but it cannot be said to be comprehensive. It only includes those famous young masters."
Zhao Zirong continued: "Yes, like our Taihua Sect, there are forty-two true disciples, five of whom are under the age of twenty-five. However, the "Rookie List" only includes two senior brothers, Lin and Pan, and three other senior brothers.
Senior sister is also strong enough to be on the list, but she has been in seclusion and keeps a low profile so that outsiders don't know about it."
Shu Lei said with a smile: "This is taken for granted. Although the Sihai Tower is powerful, its foundation is mainly in the seven countries of the Eastern Land. Not to mention the seven major sects of the Four Holy Lands that they cannot peek into, including the East China Sea Alliance and the South China Sea One Hundred and Eight
Island, dozens of countries in the Western Regions, Southern Wu tribes and Northern Barbarian tribes, etc. The young masters among them are like the stars in the sky, and they are hard to count. It would be great if Sihailou can include one tenth of them."
When Chen Zining and others talked about this, they were not as knowledgeable as the four people from the Taihua Sect. Du Tao listened with interest and asked about another list published by Sihailou - the "Wuzong List", which also included one hundred Wuzong.
A high-level warrior.
"The Wuzong List is better. After all, there are very few people who have reached this level and are not famous." Shu Lei said.
"Our Governor of Qingyang County, He Yuantong, is also ranked 27th. He is the only person I have ever seen on the list." Du Tao said.
"Why is it that Sihailou only ranks the Wuzong rankings, but also the rankings of other realms of cultivation?" Miao Shufang also became curious and asked a question that had been in his mind for a long time.
Wen Hui laughed loudly and said: "This is simple. Although martial arts master-level warriors are not common, there are too many in the entire continent. If you want to rank them, ten Sihai Towers add up to about the same, so there is no need to mention them.
The masters above Wuzong are not powerful people. Although Sihai Tower is powerful, they don't dare to offend too much. What if someone is dissatisfied with the ranking? Besides, the masters above Wuzong have a long lifespan and difficult cultivation.
It often takes decades to advance to the first level. In this case, except for the death of the people on the list, the list published every year will not change much. It is not like the "Rookie List", which changes drastically every year.
It attracted a lot of attention and made Sihailou very rich when it was sold.”
Everyone nodded after hearing this and thought it made sense.
After talking for a while, Shu Lei suddenly said to Chen Zining: "Master Chen, would you like to come to Taihua Sect? Your strength is not weak, and you are a beast tamer. You will definitely pass the sect's assessment, and you may be directly promoted to an inner disciple.
The status is still above us, and the monthly benefits are no less, whether it is elixirs, spiritual food, weapons, or exercises, which is a huge difference compared to Changfeng Academy."
Chen Zining was not surprised when he heard this. Tamers who can truly tame spiritual beasts are extremely rare. No matter where they go, they are respected figures. When Chen Zining was in the academy, he received such invitations quite often. However, there were more invitations like this in the past.
It's a family, a business guild, a mercenary group, etc. This is the first time for a sect like Taihua Sect.
But for Chen Zining, these are all the same. Unless it is the Four Holy Lands, the Seven Sects, etc., he can only consider it.
At that moment, Chen Zining said: "Thank you for your kindness. I have just entered Changfeng College and I have no other plans for the time being."
A trace of disappointment flashed in Shu Lei's eyes, and she said: "If you have such intention in the future, you can come to Taihua Sect and his party. Although I am an outer disciple, I can still say a few words to the sect. Let me talk about it.
A talent like the young master will be welcomed wherever he goes."
