After a night of cultivation, when Huang Long stopped cultivating and woke up, he realized that his Purple Mansion and Primordial Spirit had grown a little bigger. He felt refreshed and his cultivation had increased again.
However, now that Huang Long had broken through to the realm of refining Qi into spirit, the Qi Replenishing Pills he had refined in the past were useless. Consuming Qi Replenishing Pills had no effect on him now.
Refining Qi into Spirit required the "Spirit Returning Pill" to nourish the spirit marrow.
It was just that it was inconvenient to purchase medicinal herbs in the Zhao family now. Everything could only wait until he returned to the Huang family after this trip.
The magic sword was going to be auctioned in about ten days, and Huang Long, who was far away in the Blizzard Empire, often heard about the auction of the magic sword.
Now, the news of the magic sword auction was spreading like wildfire in the Hengyuan Continent, and it had a huge impact. Even Second Uncle Zhao Tian would go to the Lutong Kingdom to participate in the magic sword auction if it wasn't for his grandfather Zhao Yang's 80th birthday.
He was very interested in the magic sword that he had refined.
As for all these, Huang Long had never expected it.
Back then, Huang Long had no choice but to use this method to gather money because he lacked money for alchemy.
Now, it had actually caused a stir in the Hengyuan Continent.
After all, that magic sword could only be considered a middle-grade Bejeweled Weapon.
Huang Long came out of the small courtyard. Outside the Zhao family manor, there was already a flood of people. In the corridors, hundreds of servants were busy shuttling back and forth.
It was a chaotic scene.
Although the Zhao family had already started preparing for his grandfather's 80th birthday three days ago, there were too many people, so they had to rearrange some things.
It was not even close to noon, but the 100-meter street in front of the Zhao Estate was already filled with all kinds of carriages and magical beasts of all levels. Even some of the surrounding streets were empty.
Nobles from the Blizzard Empire came to celebrate the birthday in an endless stream. Barons, Viscounts, Earls, Marquises, and even a few Dukes who were also Dukes like Zhao Yang came.
The royal families of some kingdoms around the Blizzard Empire even sent envoys.
Those with invitations came, and those without came with birthday gifts.
The congratulatory gifts had already piled up in two large rooms.
When it was close to noon, Huang Long finally met his little aunt, Zhao Miao. This was the Blizzard Empire's most beloved imperial concubine. When she came, the scene was very grand. There were hundreds of guards behind her, and there were nearly a thousand servants carrying the birthday gifts.
They crossed a few streets.
The nobles and commoners all retreated.
Zhao Miao was riding a dragon carriage pulled by six dragon horses. She had a noble expression and was high and mighty. Beside her sat her eight-year-old son.
The Dragon Horse could be said to be the noblest mount in the Hengyuan Continent. One horse was worth ten thousand gold. There were nine carriages for the five emperors, and she had six. It could be seen how much Lin Er, the emperor of the Blizzard Empire, doted on her.
This time, her father Zhao Yang was celebrating his 80th birthday and was the Imperial Consort. Zhao Miao naturally brought her son back to congratulate her father. She also heard that her elder sister, who had married into the Lutong Kingdom, had also returned.
After so many years, she had never forgotten what happened back then.
She had tried to forget the past, but love was too deep and hatred was too painful. Moreover, the one who stole her happiness was her sister, whom she had always respected and respected.
If it was someone else, perhaps after so many years, she would no longer be jealous.
But why did it have to be her own sister! For so many years, she had often asked this question in her heart.
He arrived at the Zhao Manor and got off the dragon carriage with his son.
The nobles came to welcome him.
In the crowd, she saw her sister, Zhao Rong, whom she had not seen for more than 20 years.
Twenty years had passed, and they, who were still young girls back then, were now married. Moreover, their sons were already so old.
After the Zhao family and the nobles welcomed the imperial concubine into the hall, Huang Long heard a shout from outside the door,"Lord Linquan has come to congratulate you on your birthday!”
The nobles in the hall were shocked and in an uproar.
Although Zhao Miao was the Imperial Consort, she was still Zhao Yang's daughter. It was only right for her to come and congratulate Old Master Zhao on his birthday. However, as the only Duke of the Blizzard Empire, Lin Quan was also here. This was intriguing.
However, only the Zhao family knew that although Duke Linquan was here to celebrate his birthday, he was secretly here to see the person he liked.
Zhao Miao snorted coldly in her heart as she glanced at her sister.
Surrounded by a group of nobles, Huang Long saw Linquan. He had a friendly face and a friendly smile. His facial features were well-defined, and he exuded a refined and noble aura. It was obvious that he had been a handsome and elegant man when he was young.
This was her father's love rival? Huang Long secretly compared him to his father, Huang Xiong.
The conclusion that she came to was that her father could not be compared to her in terms of appearance or family background. But her mother, Zhao Rong, and her aunt, Zhao Miao, both fell in love with her father, Huang Xiong?
Huang Long wasn't the only one who couldn't understand. Even the two brothers, Zhao Yang and Zhao Shou, couldn't understand.
At noon, the birthday banquet officially began.
Some of the marquises and dukes raised their glasses to Zhao Yang, who was sitting in the main seat of the hall. Zhao Yang smiled and then returned the favor to the nobles.
The atmosphere at the chief table was very harmonious. When Lin Quan faced his mother, Zhao Rong, his expression was very normal. It was as if he was chatting with his mother about something after they parted ways.
Huang Long sat at the end of the first table. Next to him was our little devil Zhao Ying, followed by Lin Guang who came with Lin Quan and Lin Wu, the son of aunt Zhao Miao.
Our little devil Zhao Ying was staring at Lin Guangdan in her mouth, but in this situation, the two of them did not dare to make any further moves.
After thirty days of drinking, Zhao Miao gestured for her son Lin Wu to bring out the birthday gift for Zhao Yang in front of everyone.
A crystal clear coral-shaped blood jade with a ball of red light appeared in front of everyone. The red light bloomed, and the nobles in the hall who were enveloped by the red light felt their bodies warm.
"Coral Blood Jade!" The nobles who recognized this item exclaimed.
When the other nobles who did not recognize this item heard the exclamations, they were also in an uproar.
Heavens, it was actually the legendary Coral Blood Jade!
The Coral Blood Jade was said to be produced at the bottom of the Sea of Death, one of the four most dangerous places in the Hengyuan Continent. It was extremely precious and priceless. People who cultivated warrior power could circulate their warrior power more than twice as fast if they were cultivating beside it. It was the dream of all warriors.
Zhao Yang was a Sanctuary Warrior, so the importance of this Coral Blood Jade was self-evident.
The nobles did not expect to see such a treasure here. Even Zhao Yang and Duke Linquan were shocked.
Zhao Yang took the Coral Blood Jade from his daughter's hands. Even though he was a Sanctuary Contender who had seen countless big scenes, his hands were still trembling when he took it.
Zhao Yang looked at his daughter Zhao Miao with excitement and said,"Miao 'er, this is too precious."
Zhao Miao smiled and said," Haha, it's nothing. Father, you don't have to mind it. I saw that this Coral Blood Jade was useless in the Royal Treasury and was covered in dust. Therefore, I used this birthday to ask for it for Father. It's just to make the best use of it."”
The nobles in the hall were speechless.
Such a treasure was actually useless in the Royal Treasury and was covered in dust!
At this moment, Zhao Miao suddenly turned around and smiled at Zhao Rong,"Elder sister, may I know what birthday gift you're going to give father this time?”
At the first table, the atmosphere instantly froze.
Zhao Yang, Zhao Shou, Zhao Tian, and Duke Linquan frowned as well.
At this moment, Zhao Rong's expression was ugly. She had prepared a precious gift for her father, Zhao Yang, but she could not bring it out in front of her sister's Coral Blood Jade.
In front of a treasure like the Coral Blood Jade, her birthday gift was like dirt.
When she saw her younger sister smiling and laughing, she thought that her younger sister had already forgotten what happened back then. She did not expect that after more than twenty years, this younger sister was still jealous and hated her.
Zhao Rong smiled bitterly in her heart.
