Chapter 71 - 70 Giving Gifts

71: Chapter 70: Giving Gifts 71 -70: Giving Gifts “Feng, as the eldest of your generation, why don’t you start?” Jiang Family Head Jiang Xiaozong said with a chuckle. In the seats, a calm young man in a white robe respectfully responded, “Yes.” This person was none other than Jiang Feng, Jiang Xiaozong’s eldest son, who had the demeanor of the leading figure among the younger generation of the Jiang Family. Jiang Feng had already reached the peak of Prince level, extremely formidable! Under everyone’s gaze, Jiang Feng stood up and suddenly produced a jade scroll in his hand, which he presented with both hands, saying, “Grandfather, this is a longevity technique that your grandson stumbled upon. It is judged to be of Heavenly level.” “Wishing Grandfather health and longevity!” “A longevity technique!” Many guests at the banquet were shocked. “Longevity techniques, an existence even rarer than cultivation techniques and Daoist magic, a Heavenly level longevity technique, its precious value maybe even higher than that of a Divine level technique!” “After all, longevity techniques can mobilize the entire body’s blood qi, making an elder cultivator’s blood qi more vigorous and adding to their lifespan, such a technique is naturally very precious.” Many people sighed, casting envious glances. “Xiaofeng is considerate.” Old Master Jiang Tiannan smiled and nodded, accepting the scroll of the longevity technique. Seeing this, Jiang Xiaozong also revealed a confident smile. “Yunqi, what gift have you prepared for Grandfather?” Jiang Xiaotang softly asked. Upon hearing this, Jiang Yunqi also stood up and walked towards Jiang Tiannan with a smile, bowing deeply and saying, “Firstly, your grandson wishes Grandfather a longevity equal to Heaven.” “Grandson is not like elder brother, unable to find a longevity technique, but I know Grandfather enjoys the Xuan Ku Tea from Qishan Daze. A few days ago, I picked three kilograms, hoping that Grandfather will enjoy it.” Having said that, Jiang Yunqi presented a jade container, from which a green divine light shone brightly, attracting attention. “It’s actually Xuan Ku Tea from Qishan Daze, I heard that it is guarded by a Xuanming Divine Python, that Xuanming Divine Python is a Seventh Rank demon beast, more frightening than a Prince, and yet Jiang Yunqi personally picked it, that is truly impressive, and very thoughtful indeed,” many people praised internally. Although this Xuan Ku Tea is not as valuable as a Heavenly level longevity technique, the dangers it encapsulates are quite terrifying. “Yunqi, you’ve made your grandfather a bit scared to drink this Xuan Ku Tea now, don’t take such risks next time,” Jiang Tiannan pretended to be stern as he spoke. Upon hearing this, Jiang Yunqi but laughed, “As long as Grandfather likes it, your grandson will pick some more.” Jiang Tiannan revealed a smile, “That’s very considerate of you.” Seeing this, Jiang Xiaotang also showed a smile. He knew that his own son, Jiang Yunqi, was inferior to Jiang Feng in skills, so he had Jiang Yunqi put in extra effort to make the old master happy. “Jiejie, it’s your turn now.” Jiang Xiaozong called out. As these words were spoken, everyone’s attention converged on the handsome young man dressed in an alchemist’s robe standing beside Jiang Feng. This handsome young man exuded confidence, and with every gesture, he displayed an undeniable strength. “Jiang Jie is the disciple of the elderly Hua Feng, and he himself is a Three Tripod Alchemist. I wonder what kind of gift he will present?” Curious eyes were all around. Under the watchful eyes of the assembled, Jiang Jie slowly stood out, first paying his respects to Elder Hua Feng, and then to Jiang Tiannan, bowing and saying, “Grandson wishes Grandfather to have many more days like today, and for every year to be blessed as this one.” “Grandson’s skills do not compare to those of my brothers; I have only brought some elixirs that I have concocted recently.” As he spoke, Jiang Jie produced ten jade bottles from nowhere, arranging them in front of him. “These elixirs, all are Lower Grade Fourth Transformation Spirit Pills, totaling ten sorts, namely: Xuanyuan Pill, Heavenly Spirit Pill, Qi Boosting Pill, …” “It’s also your grandson’s token of sentiment, hoping Grandfather will be happy.” Whoosh! Suddenly, the entire place was in an uproar. Lower Grade Fourth Transformation Spirit Pills, ten different kinds, all personally concocted! This indicates that he will soon reach the Four Tripod Alchemist! “Truly worthy of being a top disciple of Elder Hua Feng, the Jiang Family will soon have a Great Alchemist!” In a moment, everyone was full of praise. Elder Hua Feng, sitting to Jiang Tiannan’s left, also nodded in satisfaction, extremely pleased with his disciple. “These people are quite impressive at flattering,” Ye Xuan muttered as he leaned on the table in the corner of the banquet hall, watching the scene. “But Cousin Jie is really amazing; so young and already a Three Tripod Alchemist,” Zhou Bingyi blinked and said. “Your brother-in-law here can defeat a Nine Tripod Alchemist,” Ye Xuan said with a chuckle. “You really can brag,” Zhou Bingyi rolled her eyes. The gift presentation continued, and next were Jiang Yunxue and Jiang Yunmeng, the second and third daughters of the Jiang family, each presenting significant gifts. Jiang Yunxue offered a Spirit Array Diagram she had drawn herself, which also caused a stir of admiration. Whereas Jiang Yunmeng presented the invaluable Clearing God and Life Extending Pill, causing quite a shock. However, what truly stunned everyone were the items presented by Jiang Yin’s son, Yun Chen, and daughter, Yun Tong. These were a large city from the Upper Country of the Heavens Cloud Divine Sect and a scroll containing Dao Intent! This simply shocked the entire assembly. Everyone marveled at the Heavens Cloud Divine Sect’s extravagant presentation. “I wonder what gifts my cousins and cousin-in-law have prepared for Grandfather?” At that moment, Jiang Yunqi suddenly spoke with a smile, drawing everyone’s attention to the corner where Ye Xuan, Zhou Youwei, and Zhou Bingyi stood. “Ah, no wonder the people from the Emperor Immortal Sect are here and yet unseen, so they were over there.” Someone whispered. “Is this because they’re embarrassed and decided to sit in the corner?” “However, it seems that there has been some conflict between the Emperor Immortal Sect and the Luotian Sacred Land recently, I wonder if it has been resolved?” “The way they are behaving, it seems they don’t dare to show off. Probably it hasn’t been resolved…” The crowd was whispering softly. Jiang Tiannan’s smile faded on the main seat, showing a bit of coldness. Seeing this, Jiang Yunqi and others revealed a faint cold smile. “Have they finally arrived?” Ye Xuan gave a slight smile. “What should we do, I don’t have a gift…” Zhou Bingyi felt somewhat helpless. “Just follow us.” Ye Xuan said calmly. Ye Xuan and Zhou Youwei stood up together and walked to the center, with Zhou Bingyi following behind like an obedient child. “Wishing grandfather smooth sailing and everlasting youth,” Zhou Youwei slightly bowed and then took out a stack of garments saying, “These are clothes hand-woven by mother from Heavenly Silkworm Silk, that can clear the mind, repel dust, resist water, block fire, and prevent disasters…” “Heavenly Silkworm Silk…” Many people chuckled softly upon hearing this. In the mortal world, Heavenly Silkworm Silk might still be worth something, but in the Cultivation World, it was utterly mundane. It was unexpected that Jiang Jing would present such an item. “It appears the Emperor Immortal Sect has fallen on such hard times that they can only give such gifts?” Some quietly shook their heads. “No wonder the little sister didn’t dare to come herself; it turns out she’s embarrassed by her scanty means.” Jiang Yin laughed on the side. Jiang Xiaozong and Jiang Xiaotang also shook their heads and smiled, their eyes tinged with ridicule. “Enough already.” Jiang Tiannan also felt he couldn’t maintain his dignity and impatiently interrupted Zhou Youwei’s words. Ye Xuan slightly narrowed his eyes, a cold glint flitting through them. Zhou Youwei extended her jade hand and firmly grasped Ye Xuan, subtly signaling him not to cause a scene. However, Zhou Youwei felt somewhat uncomfortable. This garment, meticulously crafted stitch by stitch by her mother, who was already burdened with numerous duties in the Emperor Immortal Sect. To make this dress, her mother had spent much effort and even specially requested Grandfather Zhou Lian from the Spirit Array Palace to inscribe numerous Spirit Array Diagrams into it. This was truly a daughter’s heartfelt gift to her father. Yet, Jiang Tiannan’s reaction had chilled Zhou Youwei to the core. “Niece, if your Emperor Immortal Sect is short on money, you could have said something earlier. Auntie could lend you some. What is the meaning of presenting such a shabby gift, if not to make us a laughingstock?” Jiang Yin stepped forward and said to Zhou Youwei. Her words spared no feelings! Many guests at the banquet also displayed looks of scorn and disdain. Jiang Yunqi and Jiang Yunmeng, among others, secretly delighted in the spectacle. But Jiang Yunqi was not about to let things slide so easily; he looked at Ye Xuan with a smirk and said, “I wonder what gift our cousin-in-law has prepared?” Ye Xuan remained expressionless, his soul thought moved, and he took out the Life Extension Pill, stating blandly, “This is a Top Grade Nine Transformation Spirit Pill that I have concocted, the Life Extension Pill. Upon consumption, it can increase one’s lifespan by three hundred years.” Sёarᴄh the ηovelFire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. “Considering Youwei’s sake, I shall cut you a deal on this.” Ye Xuan glanced sideways at Jiang Tiannan, too indifferent even to address him as grandfather. However, as soon as Ye Xuan spoke, everyone was stunned, and then bursts of laughter filled the courtyard.
