Chapter 477: Li Xiaojun, I Have Something to Tell You

Jiang Nuoxi also heard Li Xiaojun’s words.

Upon realizing that this spiritual item was effective even for Profound Immortal strongholds, Jiang Nuoxi’s eyes widened.

Looking at the tray, there were ten spiritual fruits arranged neatly.

Moreover, the elder even reminded her that if she couldn’t finish them, she could store them in a storage ring.

Suddenly, Jiang Nuoxi felt as if she had been struck by great luck.

In the palace, the others heard Li Xiaojun’s words and glanced at Jiang Nuoxi.

In the entire grand hall, Jiang Nuoxi was the only one at the human immortal barrier, so when Li Xiaojun said that human immortals could only have one bite, it was definitely directed at this young cultivator.

Among the crowd, someone in the front row watched Jiang Nuoxi with interest. Seeing that Li Xiaojun seemed to be paying attention to Jiang Nuoxi, a smile crept across her face.

This woman was named Hu Yanxue, known as Master Qinglong.

Jiang Nuoxi was her subordinate.

At first, she had never even heard of Jiang Nuoxi’s name.

When Jiang Nuoxi observed the Golden Immortal tribulation, she thought this young cultivator was being reckless.

But later, when Jiang Nuoxi greeted her, she realized that Jiang Nuoxi was actually one of her subordinates.

During this banquet, Li Xiaojun invited everyone observing, and Jiang Nuoxi was included.

However, because Jiang Nuoxi’s cultivation level was too low, Hu Yanxue arranged for her to sit in the last row.

Noticing Li Xiaojun’s attention on Jiang Nuoxi, Hu Yanxue began to strategize in her mind.

She didn’t believe that a Golden Immortal stronghold would pay attention to a young cultivator at the human immortal barrier.

It was comparable to an Integration stage cultivator paying attention to a Qi-refining stage young cultivator.

Even now, many people still didn’t know that Li Xiaojun’s cultivation level had broken through to the Taiyi Golden Immortal stage.

It was essentially a comparison between Great Ascension stage and Qi-refining stage young cultivators.

At the banquet, as Jiang Nuoxi saw others tasting the fruits, she also picked up one.

Remembering Li Xiaojun’s reminder to only take one bite, she only dared to take a small nibble.

Once she bit down, Jiang Nuoxi felt the taste was absolutely delightful.

At the same time, countless threads of spiritual aura flooded her mind.

Because she was only at the human immortal barrier, after just one bite, Jiang Nuoxi felt she could no longer eat more.

In contrast, others did not have this limitation.

Under Jiang Nuoxi’s observation, everyone started consuming all the immortal essence fruits one after another.

Li Xiaojun had told Jiang Nuoxi that she could store any leftovers in a storage ring, but they felt too shy to do so.

“Go ahead and store them,” a voice reached Jiang Nuoxi’s ears—it was her big shot, Hu Yanxue’s voice.

Hearing her superior’s words, Jiang Nuoxi shyly stored all the immortal essence fruits away.

The fruit that she had bitten into, she took out a heavenly jade box to keep it safe, ensuring that the spiritual essence would not dissipate.

As everyone finished tasting the immortal essence fruits, soon, the maid returned and brought in some other types of spiritual items.

Most of these items were at the Profound Immortal level, and there were also some at the Golden Immortal level, but only the elders Mo Qianqiu and Yan Qingling possessed those.

Jiang Nuoxi had taken a bite of the immortal essence fruit and could not eat any of the spiritual items that followed.

Therefore, she could only store the spiritual fruits and elixirs that the maid served into her storage ring.

Jiang Nuoxi felt that what she had collected today was an incredible opportunity.

All her previous wealth combined was not even worth one ten-thousandth of what she had gained today.

At that moment, Jiang Nuoxi decided that after the banquet, she would turn over these items to her big shot, Master Qinglong.

She believed that only by handing these items to Master Qinglong could her life be guaranteed.

Although she didn’t know the idiom "having jade brings trouble," she understood the principle behind it.

She trusted that as long as she knew how to act, her superior would not be stingy with rewards and promotions.

Moreover, she expected to keep most of the half-eaten Profound Immortal level spiritual fruit, since she had only taken a bite out of it.

The banquet went on for several hours, during which the big shots exchanged pleasantries. Jiang Nuoxi thought of herself as a minor character and therefore did not say a word.

After several hours, just as Jiang Nuoxi thought it was about to end, Li Xiaojun clapped his hands.

In the next moment, countless maids entered again, each carrying a tray.

As the maids entered the grand hall, they placed a tray in front of everyone.

“Everyone, this is the final dish of the banquet, and it is mainly to thank everyone for helping to refine talismans for almost a hundred years a few hundred years ago…” Li Xiaojun addressed everyone at the front.

A tray was also placed in front of Jiang Nuoxi, and on the tray was a massive dark cloud-like object, filling the entire plate.

“Elder, may I ask what this is?” Mo Qianqiu asked Li Xiaojun with a smile.

Li Xiaojun had presented things today that Mo Qianqiu had never seen before.

Hearing Mo Qianqiu’s question, Li Xiaojun smiled and said, “This is made from a source of power. Using this source, everyone’s cultivation speed can be increased by dozens to a hundred times.”

“There isn’t much of it, but it can allow everyone to cultivate for about a hundred years…”

Upon hearing Li Xiaojun’s words, everyone gasped in shock.

A hundred times the cultivation speed, enough for a hundred years of cultivation? That meant using this would be equivalent to cultivating for ten thousand years!

Mo Qianqiu glanced at the demon essence and then looked at Yan Qingling.

In that moment, he finally understood why Li Xiaojun’s daughter could reach the Golden Immortal level at such a young age.

Having something that could increase cultivation speed a hundred times, even with modest talent, one could use their extended lifespan to break through bottlenecks.

This massive source of power could save nearly ten thousand years of cultivation time.

Using that near ten thousand years to comprehend the laws, one might even have a greater chance of reaching higher realms.

What Mo Qianqiu didn’t realize was that the demon essence was not that important to Li Xiaojun’s children because even without the demon essence, if they cultivated step by step, they would eventually reach the peak.

“Alright, this banquet is concluded. Everyone should head back quickly, as we also need to leave,” Li Xiaojun said to everyone.

…

After the banquet ended, Li Xiaojun tried to slip away, but was called back by Wen Qinglan.

“Li Xiaojun, come to my cave abode; I have something to discuss with you,” Wen Qinglan said in a calm tone, sending a message to Li Xiaojun.

…

After the banquet, the others took their leave one after another.

Since Li Xiaojun had expressed a desire for everyone to leave quickly, they did not linger.

In the starry sky, Master Qinglong Hu Yanxue was flying swiftly with Jiang Nuoxi.

After leaving Wen Qinglan’s small world, Jiang Nuoxi immediately presented the items she obtained from the banquet.

“Master, these are all the spiritual items I acquired from the banquet,” Jiang Nuoxi said, handing a storage ring to Hu Yanxue.

Hearing Jiang Nuoxi’s words, Hu Yanxue nodded in satisfaction, but she did not take Jiang Nuoxi’s storage ring.

“Those items were given to you by the elder; you should keep them. I cannot shamelessly accept something from a junior,” Hu Yanxue waved her hand.

After thinking for a moment, she asked Jiang Nuoxi, “Would you like to take me as your teacher?”
