RPAGF Chapter 266 Banquet
Chapter 266 Banquet
Gu Yuchuan lay half-reclined on his bed, wrapped his lower body in a blanket, and began to review the situation.
The entire review is divided into two parts: the first is the matter of the marketplace, and the second is the matter of the cross-border war. Neither of them is a small matter.
First, let's talk about the market town. With his current status on the outskirts of Yunhai Marsh, no one can rival him, and naturally, no one will try to trip him up. Therefore, he encountered no obstacles when building the market town, whether in the initial approval process or during the construction phase.
This is obviously a good thing. The wealth brought by a market town is immeasurable. If it can really be built, his cultivation advancement speed will increase a lot. Maybe in a few years, he will become the Demon Emperor.
However, there isn't enough time. The market wasn't built before the interdimensional war. Otherwise, it could have been a great opportunity to make a fortune. He carefully calculated whether it would be possible to open for business before the war started if he started building it now.
Finally, he sighed and collapsed onto the bed. It was simply impossible. There were only two months left until the war. Time was too tight. Even if everything was simplified, there was still no time to prepare.
After all, the concepts of a market and a shop are completely different. It can't be too casual. The decoration and location must be carefully considered. Otherwise, it will look like a roadside stall, which will definitely detract from the market. If you spend a lot of money to build it, but it's not as good as Linlang Pavilion, then it's a bit of a loss.
There's not much to say about the market, since it didn't cause much of a stir in the simulator. What really needs to be addressed is the later matter: the cross-border war.
At the beginning, the situation in the war was very good, and the Qingyun Realm had the upper hand. However, the question of where the Samsara Palace came from, whether it originally existed in the Canglan Realm or followed the Qingyun Realm, was something that could not be understood.
However, the aura of the Samsara Palace in the Azure Cloud Realm had indeed been expelled. The Demon Lord, fearing that his and the Heavenly Dao's power were insufficient, even summoned the Celestial Master. The Celestial Master possessed a mysterious spiritual treasure specifically used to search the heavens and earth. With the blessing of the Heavenly Dao's power, the entire Azure Cloud Realm was searched several times, confirming that the Azure Cloud Realm was no longer under the control of the Samsara Palace.
The Samsara Palace in this Canglan Realm is indeed a property of the Canglan Realm itself. That Immortal Venerable was a transmigrator, and he had come into contact with the Samsara Palace when he transmigrated. However, he had read novels similar to the Main God Space in his previous life and knew that it was not a good place, so he never responded to the other party.
In the simulation, the Immortal Venerable was suppressed and powerless to reverse the situation. Not wanting all his efforts to be in vain, he conspired with Hu to preserve the last spark of the Canglan Realm.
However, after gaining victory in the Azure Cloud Realm, this Immortal Venerable regretted his decision. Looking at the remaining ruins of the Azure Wave Realm, knowing it might be devoured by the Samsara Palace, he would ultimately lose everything. This hopelessness led him to choose self-destruction.
However, Gu Yuchuan thought about it and still didn't know how to resolve the matter. He was currently insignificant and his words carried little weight. He couldn't very well go to the Demon Lord and say that once the war started, they couldn't just stop while they were ahead and had to fight to the death. The other side definitely wouldn't listen.
The only option is to plan slowly and secretly see if he can deepen the enmity between the two sides. Once the Canglan Realm is completely swallowed up, this matter can be resolved.
He still felt it was a bit of a headache. He was just a Golden Core cultivator, and it was really difficult for him to get involved in this kind of thing.
Well, he could only take it one step at a time. He had just come out of seclusion when he received an invitation. It was from the Ink Dragon Demon King, inviting him to a promotion banquet. This was no small matter.
Gu Yuchuan had already prepared a gift: a low-grade magic weapon. This was no small gesture, and it was exactly what a newly promoted Golden Core cultivator needed. Giving it out would be a great honor, both in terms of prestige and practical value.
The next day was the day of the banquet. Unlike the other guests who went in the evening, he went early at noon. They were sworn brothers, and their relationship was different from others. Going early to see if there was anything he could help with was a good thing.
When he arrived, the banquet was almost ready, but there were no guests yet; Gu Yuchuan was the first.
Clearly, the Ink Dragon Demon King was very happy to see him: "Third brother is here, come in quickly. Today is my special day, and we must have a good time tonight. Unfortunately, eldest brother is currently in seclusion to advance to the Golden Core stage, otherwise the three of us could have a get-together."
It is indeed a bit of a pity, but it's not a good thing to have bad feelings on such a good day: "Good things come to those who wait. After our eldest brother advances to the Golden Core stage, all three of us brothers will be Golden Core experts. Wouldn't it be even more wonderful and a beautiful story to gather together then?"
As they walked inside, they talked. It was clear that the Ink Dragon Demon King had put a lot of effort into this banquet. The setting was extremely luxurious, with gold, jade, coral, and crystal chandeliers, just like a real dragon palace. No, since they were both dragons, it was quite reasonable for them to build a dragon palace. He thought about it and decided it was feasible.
"Third brother, please rest here for a while. I need to check if there's anything I haven't done well. Please forgive me if I haven't been hospitable enough."
He got up to leave, but Gu Yuchuan stopped him: "Second brother, you're just being polite with me. Is there anything I've done wrong in terms of hospitality? If you have any work to do, just tell me, and I'll help you take a look. The more people there are, the faster it will be."
His promotion banquet was entirely organized by the Xuan Turtle Demon General and the Ink Dragon Demon King. Now that it's their banquet, he definitely wants to contribute, but the Ink Dragon Demon King has refused.
"This doesn't need your help at all. My banquet this time is not large in scale, far smaller than yours. My own people can handle it very well. The banquet is tonight, and if there are any problems now, wouldn't that be embarrassing? I'm just going to do a final check."
Since the other party had said that, Gu Yuchuan didn't insist. He sat down in the resting area, and soon someone brought him some spiritual fruits and tea. He slowly began to pass the time.
If he had known that the other party didn't need his help at all, he would have left later. Sitting here with nothing to do is quite boring, and they have to take time out of their way to entertain him, which is indeed a little awkward.
