Cultivation Of Coders

Chapter 879 Acquaintance

Because Zhang Deming had been late in the morning, he received the news and came after preparation. The ones who were notified were relatively early, so they were among the early ones.

As the dance progressed, the number of people increased. In addition, according to the rules of the dance, seniority is not determined by cultivation.

So everyone was not too formal. Everyone was trying to blend in with some novelty, but no one made any fools of themselves. It's obvious that some homework has been done more or less, and it barely looks like it.

It was probably the first attempt at an exotic style. The entire dance seemed quite lively, and everyone seemed energetic and interested.

Zhang Deming felt a little bored. After a while, after watching too much, the awkward feeling in his heart that he wanted to laugh and the corners of his mouth twitched gradually subsided.

Just as he was about to take action, he came into contact with some of the targets he had observed during this period, but his movements suddenly stopped, and he turned his head and looked at the door in surprise.

Without it, he finally found someone who was as 'professional' and as 'confident' as him.

At the entrance of the banquet, a man who, like him, changed out of his long gown and wore a tuxedo provided by the banquet organizer in advance, strolled in.

After the other party came in, he realized that he was the only one who had changed his clothes, and he froze on the spot. He was originally cautious and fearful of making any etiquette mistakes, but now he was even more embarrassed.

Looking at that posture, I turned my head and wanted to go back and change again. Seeing this, Zhang Deming was about to step forward, but his eyes were attracted by the situation at the door.

At this moment, at the entrance of the palace-like ball, many people came in one after another, all of them wearing modern dresses.

One is outstanding, two are barely typical, three or four more can form a group, and naturally the anxiety is gone.

With their joining, the dance became more like a group of demons dancing, and Zhang Deming also lost the unique feeling of standing out from the crowd.

Zhang Deming looked at these newcomers carefully, and found some subtle differences.

The group of people who came first, although they had some novelty and seemed to be trying out the customs of other regions, most of them were very indifferent, and some of them seemed to be completely coping with the task.

Even if they intend to make friends with 'celebrities', they still maintain their own attitude, which can be regarded as maintaining equality in mentality.

But the newcomers, who changed their clothes and dressed up to attend, were not confident in controlling foreign cultures because they understood foreign cultures, but they didn't have the confidence not to change into the clothes provided by the organizer.

Most of these people were a little apprehensive. When they looked around the banquet, their eyes were burning, especially when they saw legendary "celebrities" like Zhang Deming, their eyes stayed there.

"Independent Cultivator group?"

In such a situation, Zhang Deming thought for a while, and he probably knew the following group of people, which should be the Independent Cultivator groups on the frigate.

In terms of time, they were notified last, and it was obviously not convenient for them to come over on the surrounding frigates. They would indeed arrive a little later, which also coincided with the current state of this group of people.

······

While Zhang Deming was thinking, three Independent Cultivators in tuxedos had entered the ball hall one by one. After browsing around calmly, they all gave a meal when they found Zhang Deming in the corner.

Immediately, they probably recognized Zhang Deming, and with his clothes, several Independent Cultivators all came towards him in unison.

Among them, one of them caught Zhang Deming's attention, and after a careful look, Zhang Deming seemed to be certain of something.

‘This guy Yan Xiangcheng is indeed here! '

"Zhang family, Zhang Deming!" At this time, several people had come to Zhang Deming, and before the other party could speak, Zhang Deming took the initiative and skillfully extended his hand.

Yan Xiangcheng seemed a little flattered, shook hands with Zhang Deming jerky, and said: "Independent Cultivator Yan Xiangcheng, it is really an honor to meet the famous Mr. Zhang, Zhang Saint!"

Zhang Deming was stunned. He knew that he was well-known in the high-level circle. After all, he had indeed done a lot of things over the years, but is the Independent Cultivator circle also so well-known?

Wait, Saint Zhang?

"Have you been to Heavenly Spirit Sect?" Zhang Deming asked in surprise.

"Well, I was a little curious about the 'Rune of Life' a few years ago. As the birthplace of this path, I went there and spent some time there." Yan Xiangcheng replied:

"Master Zhang, your reputation in the Heavenly Spirit Sect has allowed me to see what a famous person is and what a virtuous person is. You are worthy of being a disciple from an ancient clan."

Yan Xiangcheng's words were very eager, as if he was really an ordinary Independent Cultivator who had just entered the Five Elements period, trying his best to maintain a relationship, and his attitude was relatively low.

Zhang Deming glanced at the other party, but did not reveal the secrets of this drama star. He also tried to find a match, and chatted with the other party without any. The main reason was that he wanted to feel the other party's secrets, especially those related to the pink skull.

But after chatting for a long time, I couldn't find any insertion point. In order not to be noticed, I had no choice but to let go of this plan.

After all, there are still a few people around, so we can't just leave it alone.

Just like that, a few people formed a small circle in the corner, chatting together. Because Zhang Deming didn't put on airs, and the people around him tried their best to win over him, they were very harmonious.

As time went by, the arrival of Independent Cultivators subconsciously joined this circle one after another. In just a moment, the originally deserted corner became the liveliest and largest circle at the banquet.

This made many disciples of the sect who were disapproving and even looked at him with a slight sense of superiority.

After all, independent cultivator or not, in the Five Elements period, with such a large circle, it is really a good resource.

Under such circumstances, some people came to visit and tried to join, but no one rejected it and they were very harmonious.

As this corner became more and more lively, a dance party with a group of demons suddenly turned into a tea party.

······

For a long time, Zhang Deming spent a lot of thought, had a certain relationship with many people, and got some initial impressions.

Zhang Deming spent more than half an hour just chatting and socializing. Only then did everyone's enthusiasm gradually decrease, and the circle began to disperse again, no longer so crowded together.

Zhang Deming quietly retreated, left the crowd, walked out of the hall, and came to the garden on the side of the palace. He leaned against a fence and breathed a sigh of relief.

At this moment, the Hongmeng Shenzhou has escaped into the starry sky. Although there are formations around it that stop providing light sources, the darkness and depth of the starry sky can clearly be seen.

"It's quite tiring!" Zhang Deming came here and relaxed. At this time, a word rang out from the side.

Zhang Deming turned around and saw a person standing next to a pillar not far away.

It seemed that the other party had been hiding here for a while. After sensing Zhang Deming's approach, he subconsciously hid for a while, but after discovering that it was Zhang Deming, he spoke out again.

And because the other party was standing in the corner, he didn't detect it, and he didn't notice it before.

The man was wearing a strange robe and had a slightly square, rough face. He was handsome and had a unique extraterrestrial style. Obviously, this is Tianyu's person.

In this team, there are also several people from Tianyu, both from the government and the Holy See, probably to facilitate initial contacts and negotiations later.

What's more important is that Zhang Deming knows this person and has met him more than once or twice.

Lu Wenjin, a cultivator in the Five Elements period, is one of the pontiffs of the Holy See. The two first met in Xiao Heavenly World, and were tricked by Zhang Deming at that time. Of course, they were wearing vests at the time.

Goodbye was at the Heavenly Spirit Sect, his Five Elements Promotion Ceremony, where this man showed up uninvited. I still remember that that night, his Cave Mansion was sneaked into by an angel suspected to be from outside the territory.

After being repulsed, the search was fruitless and the matter was abandoned.

Later, because this guy was promoted from cardinal archbishop to interim pope, and was also responsible for the construction of the papal district in the Heavenly Spirit Sect, we had some negotiations with him.

In the years since he came to Bailing Sect, he has had many contacts with the Heavenly Spirit Sect. He is the only high-level outsider cultivator familiar with the Heavenly Spirit Sect.

"It's indeed quite tiring. It feels more tiring than our Hongmeng Dao Discussion Conference!" The two of them were relatively familiar. Zhang Deming showed a wry smile when he realized it was the other person.

Lu Wenjin walked out from the foot of the pillar, looked at Zhang Deming and said with a smile: "For a genius like Master Zhang, discussing Taoism and preaching are of course easy."

Zhang Deming nodded matter-of-factly and said, "That's right. In this kind of relationship gathering, everyone is the same, but it won't be any easier because of talent."

Wouldn't it be much easier?

Have you seen those ordinary monks who have only managed to get acquainted with some small circles through various efforts?

It's better for you. In less than an hour, you have almost recognized everyone, and you have so many connections that it is annoying. Wouldn't it be much easier to come here to hide for a while?

The corner of Lu Wenjin's mouth twitched slightly, and when he looked at the serious Zhang Deming, he always felt that the other person was showing off.

"Isn't Pope Lu in our Heavenly Spirit Sect responsible for building the papal district? How did he get into the inspection team?" Seeing Lu Wenjin's silence, Zhang Deming changed the subject.

“The construction of the papal district is almost complete, and the Pope has chosen to travel unannounced, so naturally there will be nothing left for me to do.

As for why it was on the spacecraft of your expedition group..." Lu Wenjin looked at Zhang Deming, paused, and continued:

"Recently, I was planning to go back to Tianyu. I just happened to see you guys setting off, and I happened to need someone to be the guide. So I happened to be free, so I took over a mission and came to rub off on you. It’s a spaceship.”

Zhang Deming suddenly realized and said with a smile: "That's quite fate."

"It's quite fate. If you go for a walk, you can bump into Master Zhang!" Lu Wenjin replied.

Zhang Deming gave the other party a meaningful look. He originally wanted to ask if he would follow him and ask him if he had any questions, but because of such a sigh, he did not continue to ask.

"Come to think of it, your papal district has only been built for more than ten or twenty years, right? Is it over so soon?" Zhang Deming found another topic.
