Saying this, Qin Xuan raised his wine cup, and naturally, no one, whether from Great Qian or Grand Jin, would refuse to give Qin Xuan Face; many Alchemists raised their wine cups.
For a time, both hosts and guests enjoyed themselves.
Meanwhile, Jiang Long, who had already gone downstairs, listened to the laughter and merriment upstairs and immediately bristled with anger.
He clenched his fists tightly, vigorously shook the few heads in his hand, and tossed them aside.
"What a bunch of useless trash! So many people couldn't even defeat a greenhorn, making me lose Face here today."
"You few, go find some assassins, but don't act today; wait until after the Alchemist Grand Competition of the Alchemist Guild is over."
"I want him to be utterly humiliated in front of everyone, and then I'll find a way to get rid of him."
Hearing this, a Jiang family guard quickly looked at Jiang Long.
"Sir, how will you humiliate him?"
Hearing this, Jiang Long snorted coldly.
"Doesn't Qian Hu, that idiot, particularly like this Qin Xuan? And it seems he thinks this Qin Xuan already has victory in hand and is about to take first place in this Alchemist Grand Competition."
"Truly ignorant of death! How can they be worthy?"
"Since the Alchemist Guild doesn't put this old man in their eyes, then I'll let them understand the consequences of offending our Jiang family."
After speaking, Jiang Long took a deep breath; he already had an idea in his mind, and if it succeeded, it would be enough to make Qin Xuan infamous.
He hadn't come here today to have a pleasant talk with Qin Xuan; he merely wanted to use a delaying tactic to tie Qin Xuan down.
He hadn't expected Qin Xuan to be so ruthless and merciless, striking him in the Face in front of everyone.
"If I don't avenge this grudge, I am no gentleman. We'll see."
At this moment, Qin Xuan naturally didn't know Jiang Long's plan, but even if he did, he wouldn't take it too seriously.
After drinking heartily with everyone, they exchanged some experiences in the Dao of Alchemy.
Although these people's Alchemy strength couldn't compare to Xuanji Empress.
However, for Qin Xuan, it was still very beneficial; he had many difficulties and some doubts.
Now, with their guidance and exchange, it became much clearer.
Of course, for Qin Xuan, exchanging with them was merely icing on the cake.
After all, with the double pupils in hand for refining Medicinal Pills, he already had an advantage over others, and with his Spiritual Fire advantage, it was even greater.
"I've almost collected the Black Spiritual Fire. After this Alchemist Grand Competition ends, I'll return to the Azure Green Sect and subdue the complete Profound Dragon Spirit Fire."
Next up is the crucial Crimson Flame Sky Severing Sword.
If this sword is subdued, along with the Nine Dragon Seal, he will have the power to fight against Cultivators below the Taiqing Realm.
Even against a Shangqing Realm Ninth Level, unless the opponent also has a weapon of the same level as the Nine Dragon Seal, he is confident he can fight them.
"The only trouble is that the Nine Dragon Seal consumes an enormous amount of Spiritual Qi."
"I imagine the Crimson Flame Sky Severing Sword will consume a similar amount of Spiritual Qi. These two weapons are domineering, but with my current cultivation, I cannot unleash their full power."
The banquet lasted for a long time. It was late at night when Qin Xuan finally returned to his carriage; the Alchemist Guild had sent a coachman to drive him back.
Upon returning to his residence, Qin Xuan saw a gilded invitation.
"Who sent this?"
Qin Xuan asked in confusion. The butler at his side quickly replied.
"This was sent by Third Prince Your Highness, inviting Young Master to a banquet in the palace tomorrow. I heard that Supreme Emperor will also be attending."
Supreme Emperor?
Hearing this, Qin Xuan was startled, then enlightened.
It seems Yuan Jing considers him a confidant; otherwise, he wouldn't introduce him to Supreme Emperor.
One must know that throughout the entire Great Qian, Supreme Emperor's strength is among the strongest.
It could even be said that if not for Supreme Emperor, the words of the Great Qian Dynasty would likely carry little prestige.
A powerhouse of the Tianyuan Realm, looking around, is indeed enough to crush others.
"Tomorrow's banquet?"
Glancing at the time on the invitation, Qin Xuan nodded slightly.
"Young Master, will you be attending tomorrow's banquet?"
Hearing this, Qin Xuan raised his eyebrows, a slight smile appearing on his Face.
"Go, of course, I'll go. This is a banquet that Supreme Emperor will attend; not going would be too ungrateful."
Given the current situation, he should definitely improve his relationship with Yuan Jing.
After much thought, it's better to attend more of these banquets.
"Alright, you all go prepare the carriage; I'll attend the banquet tomorrow."
Qin Xuan instructed his butler, but at the same time, his brows furrowed slightly.
To be honest, he might see people he didn't want to see at this banquet, such as the Qin Family.
He and the Capital Qin Family Lord had always been at odds, and the Capital Qin Family Lord also disliked him; if both sides were together, there would indeed be a lot of trouble.
"Also, last time at the Third Prince's banquet, I killed some Yao Race members. I wonder if there will be trouble this time?"
Moreover, someone might suspect he obtained the Kun Peng Essence Blood from the Kun Peng Nest.
After all, after arriving here, Qin Xuan had roughly investigated.
Among those who went to the Kun Peng Nest with him, only a few survived besides him; everyone else died inside.
The survivors naturally became the focus of others' attention; he might be captured if he wasn't careful.
However, this time he was going as a guest, so the Third Prince shouldn't do such a thing. Besides, he wasn't entirely without the means to protect himself.
"Qin Xuan, can the Third Prince truly be trusted? What if he turns out to be against us?"
Han Ye spoke to Qin Xuan with some nervousness, but Qin Xuan just smiled and shook his head.
"Senior is still too worried. If the Third Prince wanted to deal with us, he would have many ways."
"Perhaps he's already brought people here now. Wouldn't it be more reliable to have Supreme Emperor make a move then? There's absolutely no need to go to such lengths to invite us to a banquet."
After much thought, Qin Xuan felt it was impossible.
Han Ye also thought he was being too suspicious, but he still cautiously reminded Qin Xuan.
"Qin Xuan, we should still be careful. After all, one should not harbor malicious intent, but one must guard against the malicious intent of others."
Qin Xuan nodded in understanding, pointing to the jade pendant he carried with him.
"Senior, rest assured, with this jade pendant, even if Supreme Emperor truly pushes me to the brink, I can take his life immediately."
This jade pendant was left by that old man; its power was immense, and he was confident in dealing with a Tianyuan Realm Cultivator.
Han Ye said no more.
Returning to his room, Qin Xuan had a rare good night's rest. That night, he didn't Cultivate; he simply allowed himself to relax for a night.
It was like stealing half a day of leisure from a busy life.
