Free Web NovelChapter 2411: Chapter 2410: Suddenly Aged
The banquet hall of the Crystal Palace was filled to capacity, with the area outside equally packed.
The young generation of Jade Island’s talents were virtually all present here.
Their attire was completely different from the older cultivators; no one wore those ancient long robes anymore, all had upgraded robes.
Made with nanofibers, they could resist blades and bullets.
Wearing them made one feel spirited, with a bit more Essence, Qi, and Spirit than Long Fei’s generation.
Usually, they were scattered across various star domains and regions, seldom meeting.
It was because of Long Fei that they gathered together, much like an annual event, loudly chatting outside.
The topics were nothing but magical treasures, spaceships, beauties.
Someone found a large gold mine on the Dead Stars and became rich overnight.
Someone married one of Nine Domains’ top ten beauties, Dragon-Tiger Mountain Manufacturing Group developed a new supercar using the latest Spirit Stone Formation, which starts in only 0.01 seconds.
Long Fei sat inside, watching the young and energetic people outside with a sense of envy.
At this moment, he suddenly felt he had aged a lot.
At the banquet, various delicious dishes were served one by one; the most popular was the Spirit Fruit that could only be eaten once a year back then.
Peaches, Star Moon Fruits, Yin Yang Fruits, Dragon-Scaled Fruits, Kirin Fruits, these were rewarded to young elites at the annual meeting.
Today, Jade Island was so generous, everyone at every table could share a Spirit Fruit.
Some ate them on the spot, while others carefully stored them for future tribulations.
These cultivators hailed from different backgrounds.
From their appearance, it’s easy to distinguish.
Some were descendants of Jade Island elders, considered second and third-generation rich, dressed dazzlingly here.
Some had newly advanced through fortuitous opportunities as loose cultivators, these poor scholars acted more reserved comparatively.
They lacked the resources for ascension, everything relied on their efforts.
The Cultivation World and Secular World are similar; for poor scholars to advance, it’s quite a difficult path.
Without support from family resources, they are always a step behind from an early age.
Only those with exceptional talent and excellent luck can emerge later.
Most people, when old, still merge into the masses.
Little Kirin stood up, with youthful thoughts, clasped fists toward Long Fei, suggesting, "Father, it’s rare for all the brothers to gather together today. Show something and let everyone have some fun."
His words brought applause and support from all the cultivators present.
Long Fei smiled and took out a True Immortal Sword, tossing it outside, suspended in the air, saying, "Alright then, this True Immortal Sword shall be your gift. You can choose a method of competition here. The victor gets the True Immortal Sword."
"Alright!"
Little Kirin, of this generation, was no longer interested in competing with outside young disciples for this item.
Over the years, he’s had all kinds of magical treasures, not lacking the True Immortal Sword.
After he went out and shared this news with the young disciples outside.
A group of young people immediately shouted excitedly, someone raised their hand without daring to guess what task Little Kirin would propose.
Someone anxiously shouted, "Uncle, quickly tell us what we should compete in?"
"I, Wang Zihao, say this first prize today is certainly ours, the Wang Family’s."
Fat Wang laughed beside Long Fei, "Brother-in-law, this is our grandson."
"Speaking of being blessed with children and grandchildren, none of us can compare to Fat Wang."
Everyone joked and laughed.
The Wang Family is no longer a small family, it’s flourishing like the cultivator families of old, a large family now.
"I, Liuu Yushu, refuse to accept!"
A young man dressed in traditional attire, very distinctive, raised his drink and stood up.
Liuu Jiangnan by Long Fei’s side quickly laughed and introduced, "Boss, this is my grandson."
"Hmm, can see that."
Long Fei chuckled lightly.
This kid’s pretended suave demeanor was indeed somewhat reminiscent of Liuu Jiangnan when he was young.
Little Kirin laughed, raised his hand to signal everyone to quiet down, saying, "No one will compete, today is Father’s joyous return, martial competition isn’t fitting, let’s have a literary competition."
In the Cultivation World, martial competition tests cultivation technique and cultivation level.
Literary competition is multifaceted, pill refining, artifact crafting, talisman scripting, stone gambling, pet keeping, poetry singing.
Little Kirin’s final topic was Pills, he naturally excelled in Fire Elemental Force and later learned the most about pills.
Currently, he’s Jade Island’s only Ninth Grade Alchemy Master.
The young generation’s cultivators, martial arts factions were thriving too, battling, expanding territories, deeply admired by the young.
Alchemy faction was clearly less prominent.
However, the alchemy sect is now the easiest avenue to earn money.
Not only does the Cultivation World need pills, but the Secular World does too.
Anyone’s work is in high demand in the Secular World and frequently sells at sky-high prices.
Long Fei’s group drank and chatted inside, letting them have fun outside.
Lin Shanshan approached, whispered beside Long Fei, "Brother-in-law, I made a mistake."
Long Fei laughed, "What happened?"
Lin Shanshan blinked, "Don’t be mad at me! I locked up the woman you brought back."
Hua Qianmo beside her rubbed her head, a table filled with women all turned a bit shy and looked away.
To their surprise, Long Fei didn’t get angry but rather calmly said, "Keep her locked up then!"
Lin Shanshan widened her eyes, exchanged looks with other sisters, beamed happily, "Alright!"
After a while, Lin Yingying led a group inside.
The people inside stood up, all followed with clasped fist greetings.
This group was Ji Wanrong and Zhang Ziling and the others.
Behind Zhang Ziling, she also brought Su Yiyi, Wang Xiaoyun, and Little Nannan.
After leaving Terra King Star, Su Yiyi and Wang Xiaoyun were reuniting with everyone for the first time, each pulled Lin Shanshan and immediately cried.
Beyond them, there were female cultivators from Tianshu Star, Little Diee, maid to Princess Taihua.
Her ability to traverse the void to the Nine Domains greatly surprised Long Fei.
But thinking about it, after three thousand years, Little Diee’s appearance hadn’t aged, evidently a great fortune.
"Are all of you well?"
Long Fei nodded to greet Zhang Ziling and Ji Wanrong, without the dramatic reunion scene the women imagined.
"We’re well!"
The two empresses concurrently nodded and smiled, sitting beside Lin Yingying.
Everyone felt a bit disappointed, thinking this scene was far from a romance novel, lacking interest.
Long Fei asked Lin Yingying to entertain them and brought Little Diee to a side hall, knowing for certain something significant happened at Tianshu Star.
Otherwise, Princess Taihua wouldn’t have sent over her maid.
Alone with Little Diee, she quickly started crying, "Master, I’ve finally waited for you."
She knelt, kowtowed to Long Fei, "Master, please save my princess!"
"What’s the matter?"
Long Fei held her up, looked at her, "Didn’t I ask you to seek me at the Ci’en Pagoda if anything happens?"
Inside Ci’en Pagoda, lies Long Fei’s Buddhist Golden Body.
That was the past Long Fei, no longer connected with the present Long Fei.
What happened on the other side, Long Fei was unaware.
Little Diee wiped her teary eyes, "I did, but this time even he can’t help, he said to find you. He foresaw you exiting seclusion at this moment, so I arrived so coincidentally."
