Immortal cultivation starts with copying.

Chapter 498: Lotus Seduces the Demon

Outside the door was a fifty-year-old cultivator in the late stage of the Refinement Realm. He was dressed in gorgeous clothes and looked very majestic. It was obvious that he was a person who had been in a high position for a long time.

"Fellow Daoist, I am Du Wenxuan, the Lord of Xianchi City. I am hosting a banquet for all of you fellow Daoists today. Please do me the honor of attending!"

Seeing Chen Yunhao open the door, the old man in the late stage of Lianxu outside the door smiled faintly and nodded.

Chen Yunhao's eyes narrowed, and he felt a little unhappy.

As a fellow Void Refining cultivator, although his cultivation level was several levels higher than his, the tone of his voice had a feeling of a superior.

However, Chen Yunhao changed his mind and thought that since they had come to invite him personally and this was his territory, although he was not afraid, he was curious.

I'm curious about why the lord of Xianchi City, Du Wenxuan, is so persistent. What is he trying to achieve?

"Since City Lord Du has come personally to invite us, let's go..."

"please……!"

The place where Du Wenxuan held the banquet was in his city lord's mansion. When Chen Yunhao arrived, there were already three Void Refining cultivators there.

Du Wenxuan was well prepared. The table was filled with various rare dishes, many of which exuded spiritual power.

At their level of cultivation, they no longer have any desire for food. Just like Chen Yunhao hasn't eaten these dishes in so many years, he can't even remember.

However, since it is called a banquet, it would be inappropriate to do so without these.

"Everyone, this is Fellow Daoist Chen...!"

After Du Wenxuan's introduction, the five people present had a preliminary understanding of each other.

"Everyone, please drink this wine to your heart's content and enjoy the delicious food...!"

After the five people sat down, Du Wenxuan picked up the wine glass and invited everyone to drink together.

However, the other four people, including Chen Yunhao, did not pick up the wine glasses, but just looked at Du Wenxuan meaningfully.

Chen Yunhao and the other four were invited by Du Wenxuan, so they were indeed not familiar with each other.

Since everyone is unfamiliar with each other and it is the first time they meet, who would dare to drink the wine offered by a stranger?

Seeing this, Du Wenxuan laughed and drank the wine in the cup in one gulp to show his sincerity.

"Everyone, I have no ill intentions in asking you to come here. I truly have something to ask of you. Since you are all worried, I will get straight to the point..."

Xianchi City is a small city. Du Wenxuan is both the city lord and the ancestor of the clan.

Xianchi City was developed on the basis of the Du family. There are many small fairy cities like this in the spiritual world.

Behind Xianchi City is the July Mountains, which stretches for nearly ten thousand miles. It is considered a medium-sized mountain range within a few hundred thousand miles.

There are countless mountains of all sizes in the spiritual world, so it’s nothing special.

Moreover, many sects and families are built on the mountains and mainly rely on the mountains for their livelihood, which is not surprising.

The rare thing is the word "Xianchi". This name is not chosen randomly. There is a small pool with a radius of two meters in a hidden place in the city, which is called Xianchi by the Du family.

This fairy pond is the Du family's capital. Without this fairy pond, there would be no Du family today, let alone the Fairy Pond City.

This fairy pool is actually a small hot spring where monks can soak in it to improve their physical condition.

However, it is only suitable for low-level cultivators below the foundation-building stage to change their physique, but it is not absolute.

Out of ten people who enter, only one or two may have a chance to change their physique, which can increase their cultivation speed.

This is actually a very powerful effect. Of course, the fairy pond has some limitations. Every three years, a special lotus will grow in the pond.

When the lotus flowers bloom, you can go in and take a bath. When the lotus flowers fade, the pond becomes an ordinary pond.

It is a rather useless place. Du Wenxuan himself was the first person to discover the fairy pool and the first person to use it.

After he soaked there, his cultivation began to really take off, and that led to the establishment of Xianchi City.

Because this fairy pond is basically useless to high-level cultivators, not many people are interested in it.

However, the special lotus growing in the fairy pond is not ordinary. It is useless to humans, but it is extremely attractive to monsters.

When Chen Yunhao was in the Tianyuan Realm, he knew there was a magical herb called the Demon-Luring Grass.

This grass can be used to hunt monsters, and the lotus in the fairy pond will also emit a strange scent, luring monsters within a thousand miles to come.

In two days, the lotus flowers in the fairy pond will bloom and will last for three days after blooming.

After Du Wenxuan said this, everyone present understood.

That is, in two days, the lotus flowers in the fairy pond will bloom, which will attract the monsters in the July Mountains and form a small tide of beasts.

No matter how big or small the beast tide is, once Xianchi City is broken, it is possible that the Du family and Xianchi City will be wiped out.

"City Lord Du, what was the scale of the beast tide in previous years?"

One of the monks asked.

"In previous years, the number of beasts in the tide was around 20,000 to 30,000!"

Du Wenxuan thought for a moment and replied.

Chen Yunhao had experienced a beast tide before. If it was a tide of twenty or thirty thousand beasts, the scale was indeed not large.

Moreover, this is the heartland of the human race. Even if there are monsters, their level will not be too high, at most they can only transform into human form.

Moreover, this beast tide is not driven by high-level demons, but is formed spontaneously. If the lotus is defeated, the beast tide will disperse.

Xianchi City is a small city. On ordinary days, there are only about 10,000 people in the city, and nearly half of them are mortals.

The small beast tide that occurs every three years has lasted for hundreds of years and has long been known to everyone in this area.

So as early as more than ten days ago, many wandering cultivators in the city had already fled. Now there are even fewer cultivators left in the city, mainly the children of the Du family.

Chen Yunhao and the other four were all cultivators from outside the area. They happened to be passing by here and knew nothing about this matter.

Du Wenxuan was at his wit's end. If he could keep the four of them to help defend the city, it would be foolproof.

Of course, Du Wenxuan would not use them for nothing. He only said that he would reward them handsomely after the task was accomplished.

Two monks immediately shook their heads and refused, saying that they had to hurry on their way and could not delay any longer.

However, Chen Yunhao and another cultivator were still hesitating. To them, this was a trivial matter.

Chen Yunhao was not very busy, and the journey was long, so three to five days was not a big deal.

He was not attracted by Du Wenxuan's reward, but he just happened to arrive in time and felt a little reluctant. After all, they were all human beings, so how could he watch the monster destroy the city?

"Friend Du, I'll stay here for now. If things can't be delayed, I'll be ready to leave at any time..."

Chen Yunhao didn't say anything definite. Who knows what variables will arise at that time? If something beyond his control really happens, he will definitely leave first.

"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Chen...!"

Du Wenxuan showed surprise on his face, stood up and saluted Chen Yunhao.

As long as there is one more Void Refining cultivator left, his Xianchi City will have a 20% greater chance of winning.

Seeing Chen Yunhao speak, another cultivator named Zheng Jun also nodded and agreed to stay.
