Tianyun Mountain, the Immortal Lord’s power, the Xue clan.
All kinds of ancient buildings are decorated with lights and colorful, and they are very lively.
Today is the birthday of Xue Changtian, the head of the Xue family.
The Xue family will hold a birthday banquet to celebrate.
In fact, for immortal people, living a normal life is not a big deal, and it will only be treated grandly when they have a thousand-year birthday or a ten-thousand-year birthday.
And today is not Xue Changtian’s birthday.
The reason why such a feast is held is to celebrate Xue Changtian's promotion to the late stage of the Holy Realm!
Therefore, as early as a month ago, the Xue clan had begun intensive preparations for such a feast, sending out invitations to invite prominent figures in Bailuzhou to come to the banquet.
And today, this long-prepared birthday banquet will kick off!
…
Xue family, inside the clan hall.
All the big shots from the Xue family gathered together.
The clan leader, Xue Changtian, was sitting high on the central seat, his face glowing red, and he was chatting with some distinguished guests who were attending the banquet, laughing constantly.
"A lot of big things have happened in Bailuzhou in recent times!"
"More than a month ago, a mysterious young monk got into a fight at a wedding banquet held by the Liang family, killing heads and blood. Even the clan leader and the great elder died tragically!"
"Yes, I have also heard about it. This incident caused quite a stir. To this day, no one knows who the mysterious monk is."
"The Liang family is the power of the Immortal Lord of our Bailuzhou. Now that they have suffered such a disaster, their vitality has been severely damaged and their face has been disgraced."
...The big shots were talking one after another, talking about the bloody incident that happened in the Liang family, and they were all frightened.
Xue Hongfeng sat there silently, feeling strange in her heart.
He naturally knew who the mysterious monk who killed the Liang family was!
"I don't know if Brother Su will come in person today..."
Xue Hongfeng thought to herself.
He had mustered up the courage to send an invitation to Su Yi, hoping that Su Yi would come to the banquet in person to support him.
Although Su Yi finally agreed to prepare a generous gift even if he couldn't come to the scene in person, Xue Hongfeng was a little concerned about gains and losses!
He knew very well that Su Yi was not interested in such a banquet at all.
He didn't expect Su Yi to come in person. The only thing he was worried about was whether Su Yi would forget about it...
"Oh, how could a being like Brother Su care about a banquet hosted by my Xue clan? Even if he doesn't take my invitation seriously, it's still... excusable!"
Xue Hongfeng sighed secretly.
He was indeed very confused and anxious inside.
Although he was expecting Su Yi to come, his reason told him that it was probably impossible for Su Yi to come in person.
"Have you heard that ten days ago, a shocking incident occurred at the ruins of Yongye Academy deep in the Luoshui restricted area?"
"I heard that this incident involves giant forces such as the Shenhuo Sect. It has already caused a sensation in the Bailuzhou cultivation world. Now the news has spread to other immortal continents."
"I didn't expect that the Shenhuo Cult's methods would be so ruthless. They had quietly occupied the ruins of Yongye Academy a long time ago, and set up traps there to kill their colleagues who went to look for opportunities. It's so evil!"
Suddenly, the big shots in the hall talked about what happened in the "Luoshui restricted area" not long ago, which immediately aroused heated discussion in the audience.
"However, it is said that this time the Shenhuo Sect stole the chicken but lost the rice. It suffered a big loss and many immortal kings were killed!"
Some people gloated, "Moreover, the news has spread. Nowadays, many forces in the immortal world are extremely dissatisfied with the practices of the Shenhuo Sect. For example, the Tang clan of the ancient clan has made it clear that they will ask the Shenhuo Sect to settle the matter in the future!"
"It is said that the person who killed those Immortal Lords of the Divine Fire Sect in Yongye Academy was also a monk with a mysterious origin!"
"Do you think the mysterious monk is the same person as the mysterious monk who killed the Liang family?"
"Hard to say."
...Hearing these discussions, Xue Hongfeng secretly thought that this matter might also be related to Brother Su!
Suddenly, a man in a jade robe came over and asked with a smile: "Fourth brother, the birthday banquet is about to start. Can't you tell me what gifts you have prepared for my father this time?"
Xue Hongfeng's heart froze, and she immediately gave up all distracting thoughts and said: "When the birthday banquet starts, Third Brother will naturally understand."
The jade-robed man frowned, then patted Xue Hongfeng on the shoulder, sighing softly: "As an elder brother, I have to remind you, don't be brave, just do what you can. After all, within the clan,
, everyone knows how much you weigh."
After saying that, the jade-robed man turned around and left.
Xue Hongfeng's face darkened, her fists were clenched, and her heart was full of bitterness and depression.
"In your eyes, do I think I can't even give you a birthday gift to celebrate my father's birthday?"
Xue Hongfeng gritted her teeth secretly.
His father, Xue Changtian, had five children.
Xue Hongfeng ranks fourth, with three brothers above and one sister below.
However, unlike his brothers and sisters, he was a concubine, and his mother was just a concubine beside his father, with a humble status and unbearable status.
As the son of a concubine, Xue Hongfeng has been neglected since she was a child and has suffered countless cold looks.
Of course, he is the son of the patriarch after all, and with that status, he will not suffer abuse and suppression.
But in terms of status and identity, he is far from being comparable to those brothers, let alone his own sister.
All this made Xue Hongfeng hold her breath inside.
He wants to have a chance!
Prove to your father that you are not inferior to those brothers!
But the cruel reality is that all of his brothers are the best among men, and all of them are stronger than him!
Some are gifted and talented, some are clever and good at dancing, some are strategic and brave and good at fighting.
Even his sister is a good practitioner who is rare to see in a thousand years, and is favored and loved by the elders of the clan.
All this made Xue Hongfeng wonder many times whether she was really a waste, and she even gave up on herself because of it!
However, perhaps because he suffered too many setbacks and blows since he was a child, Xue Hongfeng has been tempered with a persevering character and is also very good at observing words and emotions.
It wasn't until he met Su Yi that he realized that he had met a noble person who could change his destiny! It all depends on whether he can seize this chance!
In fact, it proved that he was right. Compared with Su Yi, not to mention his brothers, but also everyone in the Xue clan pales in comparison!
"The birthday banquet is about to begin. What kind of gifts have you guys prepared for the clan leader?"
Suddenly, an old man in the main hall smiled and spoke.
Great Elder, Xue Changkun!
With one sentence, everyone in the hall turned their attention to Xue Hongfeng and his three brothers.
Xue Hongfeng suddenly became nervous and did not dare to think any more.
"Wenjun, let's start with you."
Xue Changkun said with a smile.
"yes!"
A young man in purple robe with a hidden figure stood up.
Xue Wenjun, the eldest brother of Xue Hongfeng, is also the eldest son of Xue Changtian, the head of the Xue family. He has a distinguished status and has long been regarded as the young patriarch of the clan by many clan members.
"Great Elder, this is the birthday gift I prepared for my father. Please take a look at it!"
Xue Wenjun stepped forward and handed over a jade box.
Xue Changkun opened the jade box and took a look. He couldn't help but gasped and said in shock: "This...is this the 'Saint Yuan Spirit Gathering Pill' refined by Bailuzhou Zhenlong Pavilion?"
As soon as these words came out, the whole place was in a commotion, and the important figures of the Xue family and all the distinguished guests invited to the banquet could not help but be shocked.
Holy Yuan Spirit Gathering Pill!
That is a treasure among the holy elixirs. It is the first-class cultivation elixir in the eyes of the Immortal Lord. It is priceless, extremely rare and rare, and is enough to give the Immortal Lord a head start.
Seeing everyone's shocked expressions, Xue Wenjun's lips showed a touch of uncontrollable pride and said: "Report to the great elder, this is the pill!"
"Okay! Such a congratulatory gift shows that you, kid, have put your heart into it!"
Xue Changkun praised highly.
The big shots here also nodded. This Saint Yuan Spirit Gathering Pill is not only precious, but also requires effort and connections to have a chance to buy it.
As the eldest son, Xue Wenjun is really rare to be able to offer such a generous gift.
Xue Changtian, who was sitting on the main seat in the center, also smiled and nodded: "Wenjun is very good. Come and take a seat."
"yes!"
Xue Wenjun returned to his seat with a smile.
"Great Elder, this is my gift to my father."
Soon, Xue Hongfeng’s second brother Xue Wenpu and third brother Xue Wenshan stood up one after another and presented birthday gifts to each other.
What Xue Wenpu gave as a gift was a rare piece of fire marrow jade pendant, which was made by a famous master. Although it is not as valuable as the Holy Yuan Spirit Gathering Pill, it is better than it is unique. After all, rare things are valuable.
What Xue Wenshan gave away was a tiger head Ruyi, which was an ancient treasure that had survived from the Immortal Fallen Era. It was equally valuable and unique.
The birthday gift given by the two of them also aroused countless exclamations in the audience, attracted a lot of attention, and also made the patriarch Xue Changtian smile from ear to ear, feeling quite satisfied.
"Hongfeng, where is your birthday gift?"
Soon, everyone looked at Xue Hongfeng.
Suddenly, Xue Hongfeng couldn't help but become nervous, and her heart was extremely anxious. Brother Su...is he really not coming?
For a time, even Xue Hongfeng had already made enough mental preparations, and she could not help but feel a sense of loss in her heart.
Xue Wenshan, the third child, laughed and said: "Haha, I have asked the fourth brother many times before, but the fourth brother has always refused to tell me, which makes me feel itchy and eager to know what kind of surprise the fourth brother has prepared for his father.
.”
The clan leader, Xue Changtian, said oh, aroused a little bit of interest.
Xue Hongfeng stood up and said bravely: "Father, I have indeed prepared a birthday gift, but I want to wait a little longer before presenting it to you."
Everyone was stunned and the atmosphere became dull.
The Great Elder frowned and said: "The birthday banquet is about to start, are you trying to delay time? Could it be that... you can't get the birthday gift you prepared this time?"
One sentence made many people look weird and look funny.
They all know that Xue Hongfeng, the bastard, is the worst among the clan leader's children, and they don't have much hope that he can come up with any surprising birthday gifts.
