Chapter 97: Competing for Treasures
"This East China Sea event has officially begun!"
As soon as the emcee opened his mouth, the whole audience was excited.
Since everyone was here, they had to give face to Master Gui, and they had to show their support. However, Lei Yuzi, who was sitting in the back, was obviously too lazy to agree, and Lin Shan and Lin Fan next to him were not interested either.
At this time, there were loud gongs and drums, banners waving, and countless water columns shot up into the sky around Diaobie Island, blooming into colorful water flowers. It turned out that the monks from Diaobie Island were using formations to artificially create water waves and fireworks to celebrate.
Amidst the joy, the first highlight of this event also began.
"The treasure presentation ceremony is officially opened!"
Young girls were holding trays covered with red scarves, and the clerk next to them began to count the gifts one by one.
The monks sitting on both sides of the seats also came to celebrate the birthday one by one from the front to the back. The disciples who read out the gifts began to demonstrate the background and strength of the elders of each family.
"Master Kui, the island master of Liaoyuan Island in the East China Sea, presents a pair of thousand-year-old fire corals to Master Gui, wishing him prosperity!"
"Master Yan, the great elder of the Huiji Sect of the East China Sea, presents Master Gui with a golden elixir-stage demon beast inner elixir, wishing Master Gui long life!"
"Fairy Xiao, the guardian of Linyuzhai in the South Sea, presents a pair of South Sea Mermaid Tears to Master Gui, wishing him a happy and happy family life forever!"
"Old Man Suichang from Jinchuanfang City in Jiangdong sends a ball of Qianqing Cloud Gang to wish Master Gui a long life and happiness!"
……
Those who made the samples first were basically all Jindan-stage cultivators, and the treasures they presented for birthday celebrations were naturally in line with their respective identities. The disciples from various sects who came forward to speak also held their heads high, with a faint intention of competing.
The Gui Zhenren on the stage nodded frequently, showing the demeanor of an elder, and exchanged a few words with the audience one by one. He also thanked the Jindan-stage Zhenren beside him, claiming that they had spent money.
Naturally, everyone waved their hands and said that this was as it should be.
At this time, a group of people who came to celebrate the birthday were replaced according to their seats.
"The Liu family, a famous family of cultivation in the East China Sea, presents a Lingyuan Water Mongoose Pearl to wish our ancestor a long-lasting glory~"
"The owner of Yuyanhai Market in the East China Sea offers ten high-level magic tools to wish the ancestor good health and good luck~"
"The leader of the Little Shark Sect in the East China Sea offers ten dragon-spine demon fish to wish our ancestor Chun Ting a long life~"
"The East Sea cultivator Qingyu Layman offers an altar of blue orange spirit insects, wishing the ancestral society to form a fragrant mountain~"
"The leader of the East China Sea pirates, Xiong Shanshangren, presents ten water-hued tiger whips to wish the ancestor a flying flag."
……
Next came the birthday celebrations from all the big and small forces. Those who came were basically leaders such as sect masters and family heads. They were very respectful in their words, hoping to be appreciated by Master Gui.
Even the leader of the pirates came. Apparently he knew that no blood or fighting would be allowed at the birthday party, so he came to curry favor with them.
Master Gui, who was drinking tea on the high platform, saw that the people below the stage were extremely respectful. Although the gifts they gave were strange, they were all very thoughtful. He smiled and encouraged them one by one.
But when he heard that someone was giving him a tiger whip and wishing him a happy life with colorful flags, his face darkened slightly, as if he had thought of something painful.
But he didn't get angry, just dealt with it calmly. After this batch was over, there would be another batch. This East Sea event invited almost one-fifth of the East Sea cultivation world. There were more than ten Jindan stage cultivators alone, and hundreds of foundation-building stage cultivators.
The scale is unprecedented and the momentum is huge.
Seeing the rare treasures being presented one after another, Lin Shan, who was sitting in the back, was filled with envy.
This Master Gui just stayed at Diaobie Island and did nothing. Naturally, countless monks from the East China Sea came to pay tribute to him, spending all their wealth just to make him smile.
How much treasure must be collected for this birthday celebration! Master Gui holds a celebration every twenty years. How rich is he?
Lin Shan couldn't help but start fantasizing that if he had such reputation and strength in the future, with just a single order, the whole world would collect ancient poems for him. Wouldn't that be awesome?
He turned around and found that his good brother Lin Fan also had a greedy look on his face, and was obviously also thinking about the value of Master Gui. But Lin Fan's senior sister Lei Yuzi had a slightly ugly expression on her face, as if she had something on her mind.
Lin Fan also noticed that something was wrong with Lei Yuzi at this time, and asked caringly: "What's wrong, Senior Sister? Are you feeling unwell?"
Lei Yuzi had a worried look on his face as he watched the guests in the front row stand up one by one to present their gifts. It was soon his turn, and he couldn't help but stamp his feet anxiously.
"This is also my first time to attend such a conference in the East China Sea. Who knew there was such a rule as offering treasures? I don't have any treasures to show off right now. If I lose face for the Zixiao Sect, what shall I do?"
If you really want to say that there are treasures that I haven't taken out, it's not that I don't have any.
The two blue-purple magic swords on Lei Yuzi's back were obviously not ordinary items, but it was impossible for a cultivator to give away his most skilled weapons. It was just that he had not prepared in advance, so he had no suitable gifts to give away.
Lei Yuzi felt that losing face was no big deal. If the gift he gave was not presentable, he would lose face for a big sect like Zixiao Sect. He would definitely be scolded by his seniors in the sect when he returned, so he naturally looked embarrassed.
Lin Shan who was standing next to him was listening silently. He was also very poor. The most precious thing he had was the 128 points of Ancient Charm on his body, which was the capital for his future advancement.
There was no way he could get it out.
Besides, he was just a casual cultivator who followed Lei Yuzi and Lin Fan to eat for free. If he didn't have any treasure to offer, then so be it. It didn't matter if he lost face or not. Anyway, no one cared about a small shrimp in the Qi training stage.
Lin Fan, who was standing by, stepped forward at the right time, patted Lei Yuzi on the shoulder, with a confident look on his face.
Putting aside other things, when it comes to unused treasures, Lin Fan has a handful of them in his storage bag!
"Don't worry, Senior Sister. Leave this matter to me. I guarantee that you will be satisfied. Our teachers and elders far away in the sect will definitely be very pleased when they hear about this!"
Lei Yuzi looked at Lin Fan with disbelief, fearing that this kid might do something weird and make a fool of himself at the East China Sea event.
Although Master Gui didn't dare to do anything to the siblings because of Zixiao Sect's reputation, it was still Zixiao Sect that was embarrassed.
Lin Shan actually had some understanding of Lin Fan. He knew that this kid had endless treasures and was extremely rich.
Not to mention that he is comparable to Master Gui, a big shot who is well-known in the East China Sea cultivation world and is just one step away from entering the Nascent Soul stage, but at least he is much richer than the average Golden Core stage cultivator.
Seeing that the rows of monks in front had finished offering their treasures and sat back down, Lin Fan also jumped out and walked to the front of the wide avenue in the middle.
"Lei Yuzi and Lin Fan, true disciples of the Purple Sky Sect, present a string of purple silver stone bracelets to Master Turtle, wishing him great happiness and a prosperous Crane!"
When everyone on the field heard the name "Purple Sky Sect", they all looked at each other sideways.
It is one of the three top sects in the inland of the Song Dynasty. As a true disciple of it, he must be a person of extraordinary talent. It is very likely that he will grow into a giant of the righteous path in a hundred years. He must be well acquainted with it.
When many female cultivators in the field saw Lin Fan appear, their eyes sparkled with a different kind of brilliance.
