Chapter 25 Jiayuan City Annual Meeting

Amid everyone’s anticipation, Jiayuan City’s annual meeting arrived as scheduled.

Bai Ziye, Mo Caihuan and others put on new clothes and went to visit the annual meeting in Jiayuan City.

Because of the annual meeting, every household hangs up extremely festive red lanterns.

Men and women wearing red clothes can be seen everywhere on the streets.

Bai Ziye was wearing a light yellow gown with some light patterns on it, which made him look more noble.

This is the clothes that Mo Caihuan tailored for him.

At this time, Mo Yuzhu, Mo Fengwu, Mo Caihuan and Bai Ziye were at a dock in Jiayuan City.

The pier, which was crowded with people during the day, was also very crowded at this time.

The residents of Jiayuan City all came to attend this long-awaited provincial capital.

At various docks in Jiayuan City, many vendors took the opportunity to set up stalls, intending to make a fortune from this event.

These events are attended by either local residents of Jiayuan City or residents from villages and towns surrounding Jiayuan City.

The Yan family and their friends did not leave the Mo Mansion to attend this rare event.

Even though it is the annual meeting, the Jingjiao Club still has many important matters for them to handle.

And on the Xianglu Grand Canal that runs through Jiayuan City, some boats hung with red lanterns slowly float across the Xianglu Grand Canal.

This was also Bai Ziye’s first time seeing this lantern festival, and he couldn’t help but feel a little excited.

"Brother! Look, there's someone making iron flowers!"

Mo Caihuan suddenly became excited and directly grabbed Bai Ziye's hand and ran towards a place not far from the pier.

"Little sister, slow down."

Behind him, Mo Fengwu's gentle voice came.

Mo Yuzhu looked at Mo Caihuan who was holding Bai Ziye, and just smiled helplessly, then followed the two of them with Mo Fengwu.

Bai Ziye and Mo Caihuan came to a crowded place. A few feet in front of the crowd was a high platform about five or six feet high, built of wood.

On the high platform, several people were making iron flowers.

A process of heating iron into molten iron, and then striking it so that the molten iron splashes up into the air, creating a dazzling scene.

When Bai Ziye saw iron flowers for the first time, he just stared at the scene formed by the splashing molten iron in the air.

Mo Caihuan glanced at Bai Ziye gently, with the corners of her mouth slightly raised.

She held Bai Ziye's hand and never let go.

At this time, Mo Yuzhu and Mo Fengwu also stood behind the two of them, admiring this beautiful scene.

After getting tired of watching the iron flower show, Mo Caihuan dragged Bai Ziye to watch lion dancing, fire-breathing and other performances.

The annual meeting in Jiayuan City was so lively that it was simply dazzling.

In fact, just one night was not enough for them to complete their tour of Jiayuan City.

The annual meeting of Jiayuan City also made Bai Ziye quite impressed.

Now, he is just a cultivator in the Qi training stage, but he can still feel the breath of fireworks.

But after his cultivation level broke through, it became more difficult for him to feel the worldly atmosphere.

After all, even for a foundation-building cultivator, it would take several years to go into seclusion once.

Not to mention the Jindan stage and the Yuanying stage above, which can easily take dozens or even hundreds of years.

However, no matter what, Bai Ziye will not give up on cultivating immortals.

"Brother, come to think of it, I haven't given you a gift yet."

At this time, Mo Caihuan looked at Bai Ziye with a pair of watery eyes, and there seemed to be an unknown look in her eyes.

At the same time, Mo Caihuan raised his right hand high, and on his right hand hung a piece of jade like a magatama.

This was obviously a jade carving that Mo Caihuan had spent a lot of time on. The pattern on the jade was lifelike and it was obviously valuable. Bai Ziye looked at Mo Caihuan's waist and saw that there was also a piece of jade hanging there.

The style of this jade is the same as the jade in Mo Caihuan's hand, and the two can be easily overlapped.

Seeing this, Bai Ziye couldn't help but sigh in his heart, knowing what the girl was thinking.

The lifespan gap between immortal cultivators and mortals is too huge. Even for a cultivator who is building his foundation, his lifespan is two hundred years.

"Thank you very much, Junior Sister."

Looking at Mo Caihuan's expectant eyes, Bai Ziye did not say the words of refusal.

Bai Ziye took the jade from Mo Caihuan's hand and hung it around his waist.

"Brother, it's time to light the lanterns!"

Mo Caihuan pulled Bai Ziye and came to Jiayuan City, the upper reaches of the Xianglu Grand Canal.

There are not many attractive shows here, just a few stalls selling various kinds of lanterns.

This time, Mo Yuzhu suddenly stepped forward and picked a lantern.

Mo Caihuan followed closely behind, and although Mo Fengwu didn't say much, she also started to choose a lantern of her own.

Bai Ziye thought about it and picked out a lantern from the stall.

At this time, there were already quite a few people placing lanterns here.

Mo Yuzhu was the first to light the lantern in his hand and placed it into the Xianglu Grand Canal.

As soon as the lantern entered the water, it floated away along the flow of the Xianglu Grand Canal.

As she watched the lanterns drifting farther and farther away, a smile unconsciously appeared on Mo Yuzhu's face.

Mo Caihuan, Mo Fengwu and Bai Ziye also placed the lanterns in their hands into the Xianglu Grand Canal.

The three people's lanterns also floated smoothly along the downstream of the Xianglu Grand Canal.

After lighting the lanterns, it was already late.

Bai Ziye and his group were also preparing to return to the Mo Mansion.

After returning, everyone returned to their respective houses.

"Qu Hun, today is Jiayuan City's annual party. It's the first time I've seen iron flower making and lion dancing, and I even put up a lantern myself..."

Bai Ziye was in a good mood, but he couldn't sleep, so he couldn't help but confide in Qu Hun.

When Bai Ziye moved into the Mo Mansion to live, he brought Qu Hun with him.

However, Bai Ziye had no use for Qu Hun on weekdays, so he kept Qu Hun on standby at the Mo Mansion.

"After a while, when I have refined some magical instruments, it will be time for me to leave the Mo Mansion."

Bai Ziye will eventually embark on the path of cultivating immortals, and the Mo Mansion is merely a temporary resting place.

In fact, if he didn't have too few magical weapons, Bai Ziye would have gone to Tainan Mountain long ago to look for the immortal cultivators in Tainan Valley.

His cultivation has been stuck at the peak of the eighth level of Qi training for a long time.

It’s just that there is no follow-up practice of Changchun Gong, so there has been no breakthrough.

"Next, I'll ask you to stay in the Mo Mansion and protect it."

Bai Ziye did not plan to take Qu Hun away, because he wanted to see, if Qu Hun stayed in the Mo Mansion, whether the Jindan cultivator from the Yuling Sect would still take over Qu Hun's body more than ten years later.

Of course, this was just a casual move by Bai Ziye.

Regardless of success or failure, once Bai Ziye gets the Xuanyin Sutra from Emperor Yue, he will come back and take Qu Hun away.
