Chapter 180 Brothers Gathering
After finishing the weapon refining session, three days passed. The Ink Scale Demon General finally emerged from seclusion and invited him to a banquet the day after tomorrow. He didn't wait until the day after tomorrow but went directly there on the second day. Given their relationship, it was only right to go in advance. If he had gone on the day itself like other cultivators, it would have been awkward.
He had just arrived when he was discovered by the Clam Maiden. Now the Clam Maiden's status had risen accordingly, and she had become a cultivator at the Great Perfection of Qi Refining. However, her respect for Gu Yuchuan had become even stronger, and she immediately went out of her way to welcome him.
He glanced around and found that the Ink Scale Demon General had the same problem as him: these kings were too talented and advanced too quickly, causing their subordinates to fall behind. Besides them, they had no other capable people in their ranks. Gu Yuchuan had exhausted all his resources to produce Pei Yu, which already required too much effort. The Ink Scale Demon General was in the same situation; he had cultivated a Crab General who was now at the first level of Foundation Establishment.
In his entire territory, besides himself, the Ink Scale Demon General, there is only this Crab General, a Foundation Establishment stage expert. Like Mingxi, they are only passable on the surface, but there are still many areas that need to be filled. They can only rely on time to gradually improve. Now, even if a demon general wants to join them and become their subordinate, they still have to be careful.
After all, every demon general has earned their position through hard work. If they were willing to be subordinate to others, they wouldn't have waited until they reached this level to seek out the king; they would have done so while still in the Qi Refining stage. Therefore, directly recruiting Foundation Establishment stage cultivators is quite dangerous, as their loyalty is difficult to guarantee.
Therefore, even if we train the current people, the expenses will be much greater and the difficulty will be much greater. Both Gu Yuchuan and Mo Lin Demon General will do this, as it will definitely be more beneficial for the future.
As soon as he entered the main hall, he saw the Ink Scale Demon General and the Black Tortoise Demon General. He wasn't surprised. The Black Tortoise Demon General was a politician and would definitely be more adept at handling things. He knew to come to help a day in advance, so the other party must have known as well.
"Congratulations, Second Brother, on successfully emerging from seclusion. You have stabilized your cultivation level and become familiar with your bloodline. From now on, the Golden Core will be within your grasp, and the Nascent Soul stage is just around the corner."
Although the Demon General Mo Lin was smiling, he quickly waved his hand and said, "You can't say things like that. My cultivation level is now a level lower than yours. On the other hand, I think you are already accumulating for the Golden Core stage. Maybe among the three of us, you will be the first to become a Golden Core Demon King."
The Xuan Turtle Demon General's eyes dimmed somewhat, but he did not reveal his emotions. He even joked, "You two brats, stop flattering me. You are both geniuses. Now, it's me, the eldest brother, who has been dragged down. It seems I also need to continue to cultivate diligently and strive to one day reach the level of Demon King."
Gu Yuchuan understood what the Xuan Turtle Demon General meant by saying that at this moment, and he was also willing to express his support. After all, the Xuan Turtle Demon General had helped him a lot, and they were indeed sworn brothers, so their fortunes were connected to a certain extent. The other party's promotion would benefit them. Finally, the other party was in politics and was not in the same system as them. His experience in his previous life told him how important it was to have someone in the political arena.
His tone became serious: "Brother, please rest assured. The three of us brothers are of one mind and will definitely advance and retreat together. We cannot help you to reach the Golden Core realm now, but after my second brother and I advance, our status will be different, and we will naturally have access to different resources. At that time, we will definitely help you advance. We are brothers, and we will not abandon you."
Although the Ink Scale Demon General didn't speak, he nodded heavily. The Black Tortoise Demon General's eyes immediately welled up with tears: "Good brother, I won't say thank you, it would be too polite. But in the future, if you ever need anything, no matter how difficult it is, I will never refuse to help you."
This conversation further strengthened the brotherhood between the three. They then entered the main hall. The Xuan Turtle Demon General did not sit down: "Alright, you two can play here. Leave the banquet to me. You two aren't very good at these things. This is the banquet to celebrate Second Brother becoming a Beast. From now on, his status will be completely different. It should be a good one, a big one. I'll personally oversee it to avoid any embarrassment. I'm going now."
After saying that, he went straight over, and the two of them began to discuss the Dao. They were both on the path of transforming into dragons, but their attributes were different. Gu Yuchuan mainly focused on the water attribute, while the other attributes, such as lightning, were innate to his bloodline and he was not very proficient in them. However, the Mo Lin Demon General mainly focused on the wind and lightning attributes, and these techniques were very powerful. Their discussion was very beneficial to both of them, so they were naturally willing to do so.
They chatted until evening, both feeling that they had become more skilled in using magic and could even improve their combat power. However, they couldn't really practice their spells here, which was a bit frustrating. But it was getting late, so the clam maiden led Gu Yuchuan to the guest room.
The guest room was furnished to a very high standard. Since the demon race began its counterattack against the human race, some of the human race's aesthetics had been introduced to the demon race. In their daily homes, they paid more attention to comfort. In the past, the demon race's rooms were not decorated with so many ornaments and comfortable blankets and beds. Now, this small guest room looked like an official's bedroom. Although it was not magnificent, it was grand and comfortable. At least Gu Yuchuan was very satisfied. He felt that he would be very happy to sleep in this environment.
He slept until the next day, when he was woken up by the noise outside. Although it was still early and there was still a long time before the banquet was at noon, preparations had already begun. There was nothing that could be done about it; guests had already arrived, and it wouldn't be polite to make them wait outside. It would be extremely impolite to make people wait when they came to congratulate you and attend the banquet.
Suddenly awakened, Gu Yuchuan couldn't fall back asleep, so he got up and started reciting the Golden Light Mantra. Today was so busy, and he didn't know how much more wine he would have to drink at the banquet. This was probably the only time he could practice the Golden Light Mantra. He shouldn't waste any more time. After reciting it twenty times, he tidied up and prepared to go out. After all, he was practically a host, so he should go out and take a look.
