Fellow Daoist! That scoundrel has written a new book again.

Chapter 127 Opening the Banquet

Zhu Wuyao was busy all night and was exhausted.

Through persistent efforts, the plaque was finally transformed from an ordinary wooden board into a board with increased hardness.

For an ordinary person, it would take some effort to make a mark, but that would be all.

Her eyes were filled with doubt.

what 's wrong?

Could it be that the material is too ordinary, so even with so much spiritual power, it's still completely useless?

She did not sense any spiritual resonance from this plaque.

Thinking this, Zhu Wuyao took out another spirit stone.

The reason why spirit stones can be used as a medium of exchange in the cultivation world is because they are materials that contain spiritual energy fluctuations and have inherent value.

The spiritual energy, refined through the process, was slowly guided to come into contact with the spirit stone. As soon as it touched it, Zhu Wuyao noticed something unusual.

It was as if an invisible barrier separated the two.

This causes the fusion process to become stagnant, obstructed, and extremely slow.

Zhu Wuyao remained calm and composed, gradually guiding the spiritual energy to permeate and ripple within the spirit stone.

This single wisp of spiritual power required dozens of times more mental effort than the plaque itself.

She felt the spirit stone in her hand move slightly, as if some kind of wonderful connection had been established.

With a slight thought, the spirit stone began to tremble, seemingly guided by the object manipulation technique, attempting to float. Ultimately, due to insufficient fusion of spiritual energy, it returned to stability.

It turned out to be the case.

It really does have to do with the material.

No wonder the general outline of this exercise manual includes the function of "identifying materials".

By feeling the spiritual energy infused into the material, one can discern whether the material possesses spirituality and whether it is rare or precious.

Judging from this, the process of refining the bladeless sword should be quite easy.

The materials used in the Wufeng Sword are good, but they are only spirit ore for the Qi Refining stage, and their value cannot even be measured in spirit stones.

In other words, it's much simpler than refining spirit stones.

She packed her things, got up, and left.

Hua Yingting was startled when she saw Zhu Wuyao. His tired appearance and dim eyes made him look like he had been chased by dogs all night.

"What did you do last night? You look terrible."

As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately realized that this seemed to be due to excessive consumption of spiritual energy, and quickly asked:

"Is someone trying to assassinate you?"

Zhu Wuyao waved her hand weakly. Her spiritual energy was not completely exhausted, but the process of refining spiritual energy into form required careful operation and was too mentally taxing.

It felt like I'd done ten practice tests overnight, and I was utterly hopeless.

"I got a new martial arts manual yesterday and studied it all night."

"So that's how it is. You really did go to the library yesterday. No wonder some people said that Luo Ye Yao Qiu's diligent and hardworking cultivation has earned her the Great Perfection of Qi Refining."

...It seems my popularity hasn't waned yet.

After saying this, Hua Yingting asked:

"Ah Yao, what brings you here so early in the morning?"

"I'm going to Beixuan City, so I came to ask if you want to go to Chunhui Hall."

Hua Yingting nodded hurriedly and said, "Yes, I'll go."

"So you've already figured out what 'boiling water with three parts oil' and 'not adding a drop of water' mean?"

"It's three parts oil to boil water," Hua Yingting corrected with a smile, and continued:

"I also owe a lot to this sect competition, and it was fortunate that Senior Sister Feng Chen was my opponent. Her fire-attribute spiritual power is really powerful, but it also helped me to understand some things!"

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

Two days later, Zhu Wuyao rode a black horse, carrying the manuscript, and descended the mountain with Hua Yingting.

I've been skipping classes diligently for the past two days.

She has written tens of thousands of words of sequel to "The Invincible Path of a Reborn Outer Sect Servant", which will definitely save Mr. Li from the pain of readers urging him to update.

It can at least guarantee him peace of mind for four or five months.

Upon arriving at Mohen Bookstore, Mr. Li immediately pulled me into the inner room as soon as I appeared.

"Isn't your Star-Picking Tower currently participating in the sect competition? How come you're showing up at this crucial moment?"

Hmm? Isn't that a strange question? I'm right here, why can't I come out?

"The competition is over, come and take a look."

Zhu Wuyao took a few careful looks at Mr. Li, and noticed that he seemed somewhat embarrassed.

A guess popped into her head, and she asked with a hint of suspicion:

"You...didn't prepare a seat for me?"

"Well... sigh! I was prepared, but as soon as the news of the premiere review event came out, the seats were in such high demand that two groups even got into a fight right outside my door a while ago. I had to give up my seat to break it up!"

As he spoke, he handed Zhu Wuyao a money pouch.

It's quite heavy.

Manager Li continued:

"This is the money from the sale of your seat. I figured since you can't come, the seat would be a waste to leave it there, so I thought I'd give you some money instead."

"Now that you're here, things are easier to resolve. I'll temporarily add a seat for you, though it might be a bit more conspicuous. What are you going to say when others ask about it?"

After carefully putting away the money pouch, Zhu Wuyao thought for a moment and said:

"I am a reader of the Daode Reader. I heard that Mr. Speechless is going to release a new storybook. I've come to see what he's capable of."

Manager Li was a little stunned, then slowly gave a thumbs up and said:

"high!"

That's a great identity.

This perfectly explains why her seat was so unique and distinctive, and it didn't remind anyone of Mr. Speechless at all.

Who would have thought that the real Mr. Speechless would hide his identity and become a hater himself?

It must be said that this choice was correct.

Many people in Beixuan City were extremely curious about Mr. Wuyu's true identity and guessed that he might attend today's evaluation meeting in disguise.

Everyone was determined to catch Mr. Wu Yu red-handed.

“Listen to me, if a person wants to hide, he will inevitably pretend to be ordinary and hide in the crowd.”

"That's it! So what we need to do is pay attention to those quiet people, go up and talk to them, and figure out if they are Mr. Speechless."

"Is this a good idea...? Since Mr. Speechless wants to hide his identity, it means he doesn't want to be disturbed. Isn't what we're doing a bit unfair?"

"What you're saying is wrong. We just want to know who Mr. Speechless is, and we have no intention of disturbing his life!"

Of course, if Mr. Silent One Day stops updating... then I might really have to bother him.

Night falls.

The Ink Trace Bookstore was exceptionally lively, with the lights just coming on and even two large red lanterns hanging in the air.

Manager Li stood at the entrance of the bookstore with a beaming smile, welcoming the guests who had come for the banquet and leading them to the backyard.

The banquet hall was decorated with great elegance. The utensils used were not luxurious, but they appeared particularly refined, giving it a sense of carefree living in the mountains and forests, accompanied by the wind and the moon.

This is clearly a place for cultured people.

To be fair, Manager Li is quite good at catering to people's tastes; it's remarkable that he managed to set up such a place in this relatively noisy neighborhood.

The seating arrangement was in an arc, with wine glasses and goblets on the tables, subtly surrounding the central platform.

Zhu Wuyao glanced at it and felt that this was a bit unrefined, like a company annual meeting or a class performance...

Most of the guests were dressed as writers, creating a particularly harmonious atmosphere.
