Chapter 216
When all the guests arrived, the birthday banquet officially began.
Rows of palace maids brought up palace delicacies and fine wines.
The graceful dancers danced to the sound of stringed instruments.
All the guests also tasted the palace banquet and enjoyed the palace special drinks while watching the singing and dancing performances.
Compared with the other people who ate in a gentle manner, Lin Jichen looked very strange.
He had no interest in the singing and dancing performances, and his head was always buried in the delicious food and wine in front of him, eating happily.
Many people noticed Lin Jichen's appearance, and many men sneered at Lin Jichen's eating manners.
"Heh, he's still a disciple of Master Leng even with this way of eating, shame on him."
"That's right, this is a banquet, he doesn't know any etiquette."
"It's really bad luck to sit with this guy."
"He's eating so fast, isn't he a starving ghost reincarnated?"
...
The people who were talking about this were basically disciples from various sects.
After all, they were all young talents, and Lin Jichen had stolen all their limelight when he first arrived, so they had long disliked Lin Jichen.
They had caught the handle and the opportunity to ridicule him to death.
Lin Jichen heard the discussions next to him clearly, but he didn't have time to pay attention to them.
The reason why he ate so fast and without image was that the delicacies at the birthday banquet were all treasures!
Take this plate of ice flame sword tiger meat for example, eating it can permanently increase your blood and qi by 1,000 points.
Let's talk about this pot of crystal dew sake, drinking it can permanently increase your mana by 1,000 points.
Many of the ingredients here can increase attributes, and even some fruits have miraculous effects.
Why are you being polite? Wouldn't it be a waste if you don't eat it?
It's a pity that each ingredient can only increase attributes once, and it can't be stacked if you eat it again, otherwise Lin Jichen would have rolled up his sleeves and started working.
In fact, the dishes that Leng Feiyan made for him before, each ingredient is more precious than the ones here, and eating them can also increase attributes, more than this.
But... because Leng Feiyan's cooking is so unpalatable, not only did the attributes not increase, but Lin Jichen kept losing blood.
All ingredients in "Eight Wastelands" need to be cooked carefully, otherwise chewing them raw is just a waste of ingredients.
So this game also has a side job, that is, chefs. No one cares about it at this time, but after a while, there will definitely be a lot of chef players emerging.
In just half an hour, Lin Jichen relied on these ingredients to increase his blood by 2,000 points, his mana by 1,000 points, and his strength by 3 points.
Seeing Lin Jichen eating more and more, even the princes behind Ji Hongyue couldn't help laughing.
The eldest prince Ji Qing was closest to the Buddhist sect. Knowing that the Tianyan Sword Sect and the Buddhist sect had been in a bad relationship recently, he decisively stated his position.
"Is this the disciple of the Tianyan Sword Sect? Could it be that they are all earth monkeys who have never seen the world and have been eating dirt in the mountains and forests? Brothers, do you think so?" Ji Qing sneered.
The other princes had different attitudes, some agreed, and some remained silent.
But none of them offended Ji Qing.
Only the third prince Ji Chen refuted him.
"I think that my brother has exaggerated a bit. Brother Lin is a person of true nature. He is not pretentious and does not care about worldly views. He only does what he wants to do. He is worthy of being the disciple of Master Leng. He is extraordinary."
"Extraordinary? Brother Chen has also exaggerated. Although he is the disciple of the master of the Sword Sect, you can see that his cultivation is mediocre. He is already in his twenties, but he is still only a disciple of the Crystal Realm. Look at the disciples of other sects. Which one has not entered the Golden Core Realm long ago? What is so special about him?" Ji Qing sneered.
"I don't think so. Brother Lin just started a little late. He has his own extraordinary qualities to be appreciated by Master Leng." Ji Chen obviously wanted to sing the opposite tune with Ji Qing to the end.
Ji Qing was furious, his eyes became sharp instantly, and he said with a smile: "I don't know, the third brother is so good at judging people, I'm afraid he wants to make friends with this person and climb up the sword sect."
Ji Chen said without hesitation: "Isn't the emperor brother flattering the Buddhist sect and venting his anger for Tianyin Temple?"
"You..."
The two wanted to argue, but they were scolded by their mother and dared not say anything.
Ji Tongyin and Ji Linglong covered their mouths and laughed secretly.
The banquet lasted for more than an hour, and Ji Hongyue suddenly stood up and invited the masters and elders of all sects to the back hall to discuss matters.
The heads and elders of each sect also went to the appointment, leaving their disciples in the banquet hall.
Soon, only the disciples of each sect and the princes and princesses at the head of the hall were left at the banquet.
The princes knew that this was the best time to make friends with the elites of each sect, so they all stood up and walked off the stage with cups and pots, and began to toast and chat with everyone.
When Ji Qing passed by Lin Jichen's desk, he saw that he was still eating hard, and said with disdain: "You are a vulgar man, unworthy of being in a refined hall!"
After saying that, he flicked his sleeves and was about to leave.
But he heard the voice on the deskLin Jichen replied: "That's much better than some people who are beautiful on the outside but rotten on the inside."
Ji Qing stopped immediately and said coldly: "The person you are talking about is me?"
Lin Jichen raised his head and drank a glass of wine, then looked up at him and said: "I didn't expect you have an advantage, that is self-knowledge."
Ji Qing's face completely sank, and he said viciously: "Don't think that you can be unscrupulous just because you are Leng Feiyan's disciple."
Lin Jichen was full and satisfied at this time, leaning on the cushion, smiling wantonly, and said: "My master is Leng Feiyan, so I can be unscrupulous. If you don't agree, you can go to Jianzong, or I can ask my master to come, anyway, she has just been to Tianyin Temple."
Ji Qing's expression froze, and fear and tension flashed in his eyes.
He said in disbelief: "You don't really think that Master Leng will come to the Qianlong Royal Family to cause trouble just because of a little quarrel between us, right?"
Lin Jichen shrugged, suddenly pointed to the location of Tianyin Temple behind him, and said: "You don't believe it? Then you can ask the people of Tianyin Temple, they have the most say."
There was only a young bald monk left at the location of Tianyin Temple. When he heard this, his originally calm expression suddenly froze.
Lin Jichen really got the advantage and still sold it out. A while ago, Leng Feiyan ran to their Tianyin Temple and made a big fuss in the temple. Not only did he demolish several of their temples, but even the abbot was injured.
This is the shame of Tianyin Temple. Now that Lin Jichen brought it up again, how could the monk not be angry?
"Master Lin must be Master Leng's disciple. In the past, Master Leng asked my master to exchange Taoism. Now, I, the monk Shengyuan, also want to learn Master Lin's tricks."
Shengyuan actually issued a challenge to Lin Jichen in person.
Others at the banquet started to watch the excitement excitedly.
The news of the discord between the Sword Sect and the Buddha Sect had already spread in Muxianzhou.
Everyone knew that Leng Feiyan did not give face to the Buddha Sect and made a scene in Tianyin Temple.
Now that the two masters were gone, their beloved disciples started to fight.
Very good! Very exciting!
