Chapter 97: Preparation for the Longevity Banquet

In the center sat an elderly man, his face crisscrossed with wrinkles, too numerous to count. It was Lin Pingfeng, the birthday star of the day and a peak Martial Spirit Realm practitioner.

However, the complexion on Lin Pingfeng’s face had not been good at that moment.

Theoretically speaking, a practitioner in the Martial Spirit Realm could live up to 300 years. However, just like the theoretical lifespan of humans on Earth is 120 years, due to illness, injuries, and other factors, very few lived to that age; living to 80 or 90 was already considered long-lived.

Lin Pingfeng was such a case. He had reached the age of 200 and was already considered long-lived among Martial Spirit Realm practitioners.

“Old Master Lin, I heard you had secluded yourself for cultivation recently and made significant gains. Did you sense the opportunity to break through to the Martial King Realm?” Wu Fa suddenly asked.

Hearing this question, the previously lively atmosphere immediately quieted down. Everyone looked at Lin Pingfeng, their faces filled with emotion.

Wu Fa wasn’t one to speak without reason; had he heard something?

Martial King Realm.

That was the goal they all had been striving for their entire lives.

Just like the people in Qingshan Town hoped to break through to the Martial Spirit Realm, they all hoped to break through to the Martial King Realm.

However, the way of heaven was elusive and unpredictable; breaking through was not so easy. In this city, how many years had it been since someone had broken through? They couldn’t even remember.

“Hehe, it would be nice if there was a chance. I’ve resigned myself to fate; I probably don’t have many years left to live,” Lin Pingfeng shook his head and said leisurely.

At his age, he had long seen through life and death. Breaking through would naturally be best, but not breaking through was also normal.

Hearing Lin Pingfeng say this, many people withdrew their gazes and resumed their casual conversations.

Indeed, breaking through to the Martial King Realm was not so easy. Wu Fa was probably just asking casually.

Lin Yi, however, slightly furrowed his brows.

Others might not know, but he certainly did. Before his father’s seclusion, he had indeed been somewhat confident. At that time, several high-ranking family members who knew the situation had been quite excited.

Once Lin Pingfeng broke through to the Martial King Realm, he would become the most powerful existence in Yaori City. Not only would the Lin family not be squeezed out of the top ten families, but they could also soar to new heights.

However, during his seclusion, Old Master Lin had encountered a small mishap. Not only had he failed to break through, but his lifespan had also been greatly reduced. Thinking about this, Lin Yi felt extremely uncomfortable.

“It’s about time; let’s go to the front,” Lin Yi said.

“Alright, let’s go.”

“Let’s go.”

One by one, the big shots of Yaori City had exited the hall.

In the court, Lin Yue’er had just walked in with Wang Xiaofei when they were immediately surrounded by a dozen young girls. They chattered non-stop, many of them seeing Wang Xiaofei for the first time and were quite curious about him.

“Yue’er, so this is your husband,” a mature woman in her twenties said to Lin Yue’er.

“What? No, Yu Qing sister, this is my boyfriend, Wang Xiaofei,” Lin Yue’er’s face turned red as soon as someone called Wang Xiaofei her husband.

“Hehe, boyfriend, sooner or later he will be your husband anyway, might as well start calling him that,” Yu Qing said nonchalantly.

She was much older than Lin Yue’er and had already been married, so she wasn’t as shy as Lin Yue’er.

“Hello,” Wang Xiaofei greeted Yu Qing.

“Hello,” Yu Qing looked Wang Xiaofei up and down, her eyes filled with intense curiosity.

“Hey, Yue’er, I heard that your husband is a cultivation prodigy. He’s only sixteen and is already a Two-Star Martial Spirit. Moreover, it took him less than a year to go from a One-Star Martial Spirit to a Two-Star Martial Spirit. This time, you’ve really married into a good family,” Yu Qing added.

Around them, Lin Yue’er’s close friends also showed expressions of agreement.

You should know, with the talent that Wang Xiaofei had displayed, he would definitely become a peak Nine-Star Martial Spirit Realm practitioner in the future. He might even cross the insurmountable gap and become a Martial King Realm practitioner.

A Martial King Realm practitioner was an existence they all looked up to.

In Yulong Continent, strength determined everything. Thinking of this, some people looked at Lin Yue’er with eyes full of jealousy.

Lin Yue’er helplessly shook her head.

As for Yu Qing constantly calling Wang Xiaofei her husband, she was speechless. Fine, let her say what she wants.

However, saying that she had married up by being with Wang Xiaofei was something Lin Yue’er couldn’t agree with.

“Hey, between the two of us, who is marrying up?” Lin Yue’er put on a ‘mighty’ expression and asked Wang Xiaofei.

So cute!

“It must be me who is marrying up,” Wang Xiaofei quickly said.

At times like this, if he didn’t give face to his wife, who would?

“Oh, you really know how to talk,” Yu Qing was the first to shout, looking at Wang Xiaofei somewhat surprisingly.

The young talents she knew were all arrogant and aloof. She had never seen someone as approachable as Wang Xiaofei.

“Wow, Sister Yue’er, I’m convinced. You’re amazing,” Yu Qing said.

“Yes, Sister Yue’er is really lucky. Even I’m envious.”

“Then you should go for it too. After all, it’s quite normal for a strong person to have multiple wives and concubines.”

A group of girls giggled and laughed.

Wang Xiaofei had felt a bit awkward. After greeting Lin Yue’er, he had gone to sit in a less crowded area.

At that moment, a group of about ten young men were watching from not far away. When they saw Wang Xiaofei and Lin Yue’er walk in together, chatting and laughing with those beautiful girls, a flash of anger crossed each of their eyes.

“Who cares if he has high talent? He might get killed at any moment,” one young man said indignantly.

He had been born into one of the Ten Great Families of Yaori City and had been the darling of his family since childhood. His own talent was quite good; although he hadn’t entered Tianlong Academy, he had already reached the Three-Star Martial Spirit Realm.

“Exactly, what Brother Liu said is right. The path of cultivation is long and arduous. Talent is important, but the various resources behind you are equally indispensable. This Wang Xiaofei obviously comes from an ordinary family. Without a large supply of cultivation resources, he’ll probably hit a wall once he reaches the Four-Star Martial Spirit Realm,” another young man chimed in.

“Hmph, how many so-called geniuses have we all seen over the years? But how many of them actually grow up to be something? The Ten Great Families of Yaori City haven’t changed for hundreds of years,” someone said disdainfully.

“Brother Tang, I heard that not long ago, the head of the Lin family had intentions of betrothing Lin Yue’er to you. Is that true?” Two young men stood under a large tree, and one of them suddenly sent a soul transmission to ask.
