Chapter 1537: Chapter 1086: Planting Spirit Roots

After arranging the repair of the puppet, Jiang Yuan took advantage of everyone’s presence to present his idea of hosting a small courtyard Chinese New Year gala.

"Chinese New Year? Gala? Evening party!" Qing Niao looked puzzled and asked, "Brother, what is that?"

The little lark perched on her shoulder tilted its head in thought and quickly answered, "I know! Chinese New Year is the most important festival for mortals every year!

The people of East Lake Port celebrate in winter. They set off firecrackers, hang large red lanterns, and paste couplets. Everywhere is filled with joy, and people who usually don’t get along won’t quarrel or fight.

Even if they encounter unpleasant things, they won’t get angry. They say, ’It’s a big holiday, never mind.’ But a gala, an evening party? I’ve never seen it, it sounds very interesting."

He Miancun, who was visiting, smiled slightly and said, "Ah, sir, now that you mention it, I remember too. Before I died and became a Ghost Cultivator, I was a wealthy young lady, and the most anticipated time was Chinese New Year. New year, new atmosphere, so much fun!

That year, my elder brother won a battle at the frontier and returned to the capital. It happened to be Chinese New Year, and the Emperor was so pleased he allowed him to bring his family to the New Year’s palace banquet. At that time, my elder brother was not yet married, so he brought me and my little sister to see the world.

There were puppet shows, music and dance performances, and all kinds of acrobatics, very lively! In retrospect, although mortals aren’t as strong as cultivators, they have their unique way of entertainment."

"Cultivators pursue unity of heaven and man, fearing charm and sensual pleasures will distract them," Cang Rui, Sect Leader of the Cloud Concealment Sect, continued, "Therefore, aside from sect ceremonies and grand events, there are few such purely entertaining... galas.

However, the sir’s suggestion is excellent. Especially since many things have happened this year, everyone gathering to celebrate and ring in the new year is a good omen."

The more important point, which he did not say outright, was that for the first time, the Ancient Ten Great Sects gathered together, temporarily living under another’s roof. No matter how benevolent Mr. Jiang was, granting the greatest freedom, this fact could not be concealed.

Each sect has tens of thousands of disciples, urgently needing an opportunity to connect and integrate, especially with the core members living in the small courtyard. For long-term cooperation and development, everyone needs a chance to get acquainted.

Taking advantage of this major holiday celebrated in the human world, hosting a gala in the courtyard where everyone plays music, dances, and showcases their talents, would surely make relationships more harmonious.

He raised his hands in agreement, and those who loved excitement became even more active.

Even the golden-haired little monkey chirped excitedly, pulling Hou Ze’s hair, wanting to perform well together;

Miss Hu Jiu maintained a dignified and graceful image, not saying much, but in her heart she was extremely excited! She wanted to seize this chance to make a striking appearance, letting the little gentleman see her rapid progress. Perhaps a perfect performance, enhanced with charm, could lead to achieving her original goals!

No one was happier than Shi Hu.

It wasn’t particularly eager to perform, but its master said it could rest for two days on New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day!

Two whole days to stay comfortably in the small courtyard, on its own mountain, freely rolling around or sleeping as it pleased, and with lots of delicious food at the banquet making its mouth water just thinking about it.

What a happy two days it will be!

Jiang Yuan thought for a moment, besides the Ancient Ten Great Sects, the Demon Cultivators from the Ruins Realm, the Ghost Cultivators from Lotus Peak, and the Mermaid Race living on Conch Island should all come to participate.

After all, with such a large population and a New Year’s Eve to pass.

The evening banquet would officially start at ten at night and last until two in the morning, four hours or two hours in total, neither too lengthy nor hurried and dull.

Unfortunately, Hu Zhile and Yun Mo were still inside the Time Pavilion and hadn’t come out, otherwise, this could be left to the big fox to handle, ensuring everything would be in perfect order.

Given this, it was simply left to Hou Ze to organize, with Yun Shu and the little fox responsible for hosting.

Whoever else they privately recruited to assist was their concern, as he was only responsible for food supply, with plenty of fine wine, gourmet dishes, and spirit fruits!

The fully automated kitchen facilities at the courtyard and Conch Island would be deployed, and as for the brewery speeding up production – the warehouse was fully stocked, so it wasn’t a matter of concern.

"Many hands make light work, and indeed, leading a team is much more comfortable than working alone." Jiang Yuan was very satisfied with his current team, merely giving an order, and things would be handled beautifully.

He also had eight absolute close confidant avatars, constantly and willingly shouldering more important responsibilities.

No wonder people have fought for power and gain throughout history, being a leader is so delightful!

"Buzz buzz buzz~"

As he was happily organizing the warehouse, the message frame shook, indicating a "video" from his first disciple, Wan Mingchuan.

With a thought, he answered, and the message interface showed the increasingly handsome and bright face of his first disciple. But as soon as Wan Mingchuan spoke, his cool and handsome image collapsed, exposing his original nature as the disciple who believed "whatever Master says is right."

"Master! I followed your instructions and found many upright and righteous mortals!" Wan Mingchuan floated in mid-air to ensure those below couldn’t hear him as he patiently explained, "I think I can’t discern whether they can plant Spirit Roots. If I find one and run back and forth each time, it would be a waste of Teleportation Talismans.

So, I simply gathered a group first for Master to inspect. Those who can plant Spirit Roots, I’ll bring back; those who can’t, I’ll give some money to and send back. Do you have time to take a look?"

Ever since taking on the task from Master, to find those with Spirit Roots to teach the "Demon Suppression Scripture" and seek the upright and righteous mortals who could plant Spirit Roots, Wan Mingchuan has been tirelessly dedicated.
