Thousands of miles away from the imperial capital Shuocheng, the running army slowly stopped.

"Long Tenghou, the general in charge of the army cannot enter the capital without an imperial edict, so Xiao Wang has no choice but to send you here." Prince Jing Changzhi, who was wearing black armor, raised his hand to Chen Tianhao and said loudly.

Along the way, King Jing led the Tiantian Army to guard the 10,000 Tenglong leader Tianhao City guards, and finally escorted them to Shuo City.

"Prince Jing's friendship, I have written it down." Chen Tianhao, who was wearing a golden uniform, also cupped his hands and said with a smile.

Ahead, a golden honor guard troop came like a wave.

"Gu Yun, Lord Yu of Dali, came to welcome Lord Long Teng of Dali to the capital for his audience!" The golden honor guard stopped three miles away, and a voice penetrated three miles and fell into the army, as clear as if it was right beside you.

The True Monarch of Yuanying, a hereditary prince, the commander of the personal guards of the Dali royal family, and the general Chang Shanyue who chased the Japanese army.

With such an identity, he traveled thousands of miles from the city and came to greet him, which could be said to have given Chen Tianhao plenty of face.

"Thank you, Marquis Yu, for welcoming me." Chen Tianhao responded loudly. His voice did not spread as far as the other party, but the other party must have heard it clearly.

I saw a middle-aged monk wearing a bright red robe and purple armor. He stood tall and cupped his hands in mid-air. Then he turned around and led the honor guard back.

The flying chariot that Chen Tianhao was sitting on followed closely behind, followed by an army of 10,000. Looking back, the flying army was like a black rock or a long black dragon, entrenched behind.

Chen Tianhao, the Longteng Marquis of Dali, paid an audience to His Majesty Chang Houde and presented various treasures worth 80 million spiritual crystals. His Majesty Dali gave the Longteng Marquis a palace in the imperial city, 300 guards, and maids and hundreds of servants.

Three days later, Marquis Longteng held a banquet in the Marquis Mansion to entertain his colleagues from all over the world.

Chen Tianhao has never appeared in Dali, but Dali is full of legends about him.

Ten years ago, one man managed to bring the 30,000-mile Soaring Dragon Territory to Dali. In the past ten years, he managed a large city with tens of millions of people into a holy city in the hearts of practitioners in the world.

Who wouldn’t want to see such a character in person?

Outside Longtenghou's Mansion, if it weren't for the Imperial City's military guards who stopped them, countless people in the city would have gone out early in the morning. Especially those monks who were not bad at cultivation, all wanted to find an official position in Longtenghou's Mansion, be a priest or something like that.

.

"Quick, quick! The big banquet ahead is about to begin. Quickly bring the spiritual meals and spiritual wine prepared by the kitchen!" The servants in the mansion are all given by the imperial city, and the general manager is also in charge of the old residence here.

To become a popular butler of the Marquis, you naturally have to work hard.

The kitchen was brought over by Marquis Long Teng, because the Marquis was not used to eating food from other places.

A group of palace ladies, holding jade plates in their hands, quickly walked to the back kitchen, picked up the plates covered with white jade covers one by one, and sent them to the front courtyard.

As a housekeeper, Sun Jin should have taken care of every detail, especially the meals in the kitchen. But he knew that since the Marquis ordered the kitchen to arrange this, he would never interfere.

This is his shrewdness. The chefs are all the Marquis's own people, and he doesn't want anyone to interfere and doubt their affairs. If he doesn't interact with them, everyone will be in peace.

The vast hall in the front courtyard was already full of guests.

This is the first batch of banquets that only entertain nobles and princes. Otherwise, even a hall ten times larger would not be able to accommodate it.

Chen Tianhao is wearing an imperial robe, a flat crown on his head, and a fluttering ribbon, which makes him look a little more noble.

He sat at the head of the table and looked down with a smile.

"Everyone, I am young and have little knowledge. I have just come to Shuocheng, so I still need the seniors to take care of me." Chen Tianhao stood up and held his hands toward the hall.

It’s true that you are young, but if you say you have little knowledge, who will believe you?

Everyone in the hall quickly stood up and bowed their hands to Chen Tianhao in return.

"Haha, I don't have anything good to entertain you in Tianhao City, so don't be offended." Chen Tianhao stretched out his hand to signal everyone to sit down, and then laughed.

Tianhao City is a nouveau riche who wants a lot of money, but lacks the foundation to bring his things to market. High-ranking officials like Dali know this.

Hearing what Chen Tianhao said, everyone laughed. They came to the banquet not just for food.

Teams of palace maids brought the white jade plates and placed them on the small wooden tables in front of everyone, and at the same time stretched out their hands to lift the white jade covers.

"hiss--"

Everyone took a deep breath when they saw the food on the white jade plate.

trench!

Thousand-year-old blood sea cucumber, one thirty thousand spiritual crystals, one cooked on the plate in front of everyone.

Deep-sea sturgeon is said to be rare in the entire Western Sea. The price is as high as 10,000 spirit crystals per kilogram, and everyone has a piece of meat on their plate that weighs just over a kilogram.

Venus jade clam, immortal blue shrimp, dragon horn crab.

Each item is an ingredient worth tens of thousands of spirit crystals.

Each table is worth more than 100,000 spiritual crystals.

There are no less than 300 seats in this hall, which is 30 million spiritual crystals!

Everyone looked at me and I looked at you, and our hearts were shocked.

Can't afford it!

No one is bad in terms of wealth, cultivation, and foundation. But in front of others, he suddenly becomes a pretender.

This meal can bring down a noble family that has been around for thousands of years.

"Yesterday, when I came back from the Imperial City and passed through the market, I saw a tavern and sold some drinks." As he said that, a team of servants delivered the wine bottles to everyone's tables.

"The wine is just average, that's enough." Chen Tianhao raised his glass and drank it all in one gulp.

Everyone also raised their glasses.

This wine... really tastes bad.

After being accustomed to fine clothes and fine food, when they tasted such inferior wine, everyone had to endure it before swallowing it.

What is this Chen Tianhao doing? He can provide a table with a hundred thousand spirit crystals for meals. I don’t believe he can’t provide good wine.

Seeing everyone's expressions, Chen Tianhao held up his wine glass and smiled slightly: "I passed by that tavern yesterday, and the shopkeeper saw me and shouted from a distance, 'Would you like some bitter wine?'"

Bitter wine? This wine does taste a bit bitter.

"I'm just curious, do I look like a person who drinks bitter wine?" Chen Tianhao opened his big sleeves. In this outfit, he didn't look like someone who drank bitter wine.

"I didn't pay attention, and the shopkeeper shouted again, 'Have you drunk the bitter wine?'" Chen Tianhao had a strange look on his face, making everyone think along with his thoughts.

"There are all kinds of things in life... ups and downs, this is cultivation." Chen Tianhao shook his head and sighed: "If you don't enter Shuocheng, you will never know that high-ranking practitioners will also dive into fame and wealth like ordinary people.

How can you know the taste of the world without drinking a cup of bitter wine?"

Fresh taste in the world?

How old is Chen Tianhao that he can already see through the time barrier?

Everyone immediately looked at him high.

"So I bought all the wine in that tavern. I asked the boss not to brew this kind of bitter wine in the future." Chen Tianhao said with a playful look in his eyes: "I will sell this kind of bitter wine in the future.
