Unstoppable Martial Arts: Starting from Fist Technique Deduction
Chapter 134 - 121 Banquet

Chapter 134: Chapter 121 Banquet

Lin Yuan followed the woman’s steps and walked out of the mansion’s gate. Two carriages were waiting outside, one tall and spacious, brightly painted in vermilion with exquisite carvings, the other ordinary.

The woman directly boarded the exquisite carriage, and after two maids followed her in, the coachman on the carriage whipped the horses and set off towards the destination.

"Young Master Lin, please get on the carriage."

The driver of the rear carriage lifted the curtain respectfully and said.

Lin Yuan glanced again at the departing carriage, turned, and entered the carriage without speaking further.

Seeing this, the driver pulled the reins and proceeded towards the destination.

Soon after Lin Yuan left, three figures knocked again on Lin Yuan’s door.

An old man, a middle-aged man, and a servant.

"Who may you be?"

Aside from the young lady and the young master, few visitors came to the small house. But today, two groups had come consecutively, leaving Xiaoyun quite surprised.

"Hehe." The old man, precisely Pei Zhangluo, had a kind face and laughed slightly as he said, "Young girl, I have come to find Lin Yuan."

"I’m sorry, the master just went out."

"Going out at this time? Lin Yuan, having joined my Pei family, his name in alchemy must have spread. If the Hong family strikes now while he has no one for protection, it would be quite dangerous." Pei Zhangluo pondered secretly.

"Dare I ask where Lin Yuan has gone?" Pei Zhangluo’s expression turned serious as he asked.

"And you are?"

Xiaoyun glanced at the middle-aged man standing beside her, whose eyes were on her, causing her great pressure.

"Young lady, there’s no need to worry. We are here to discuss important matters with Lin Yuan, and we mean no harm." Pei Zhangluo noticed Xiaoyun’s concern and spoke immediately.

Xiaoyun sized up the old man once more and thought that this old gentleman seemed kind and spoke humbly, not like he was here for trouble.

Unlike the previous woman, who, despite being beautiful, was extremely rude, not putting Lin Yuan in her eyes at all.

"The master went to Cuiyun Building," Xiaoyun whispered.

Pei Zhangluo nodded upon hearing this, arranged for the servant to offer gifts on a carriage, and cupped his hands toward Xiaoyun, saying, "These humble gifts are for Young Master Lin, please accept them."

"I have other matters to attend to, so I must leave first." After speaking, Pei Zhangluo turned and got on the carriage, heading toward Cuiyun Building.

Xiaoyun saw the remaining servant lead the coachman to deliver a whole carriage of gifts.

As the carriage entered the outer courtyard and they opened the packages, there were countless silks, jewels, and gold and silverware, which made Xiaoyun’s eyes light up.

"The young master, the young master is impressive, someone sent so many things," Xiaoyun said happily, holding a delicate jade hairpin and admiring it, "this jade hairpin is so beautiful, it would definitely look great on the young lady."

***********

Lin Yuan sat in the carriage without delaying his cultivation, quietly circulating his vital energy, slowly accumulating.

After an indeterminate amount of time, the carriage stopped, and night had fallen.

The building named Cuiyun Building was illuminated by bright red lanterns.

As Lin Yuan stepped out of the carriage, the woman who invited him was nowhere in sight, leaving only a servant to lead Lin Yuan forward.

The main building ahead was not tall, only two stories. After passing through it, they entered various separate pavilions set within the restaurant, where the environment was tranquil, with occasional sounds of silk and bamboo music and singing from geishas.

After walking through for a while, they finally reached a courtyard called Cuiwei Pavilion.

The attendant led Lin Yuan into the hall, where there were only maids serving dishes, but no other people.

"Is this to suppress my arrogance?" Lin Yuan thought unhappily.

Inviting him without stating their identity and then leaving him there without even a seat.

Maintaining a calm expression, Lin Yuan left the hall and sat in a pavilion in the courtyard.

At this moment, as he calmed his mind, he could faintly hear conversation sounds coming from the inner hall.

Inside the inner hall, four people were gathered around a tea table, the ones who had arranged for Lin Yuan to go to Huaining Hall.

"Lin Yuan has arrived and is resting in the pavilion," Xia Yingqiu said with a smile towards the man in the center.

"Let him wait for a while," the man in the center nodded, "how much longer will the Pill Master take?"

"The Pill Master is still refining pills, it shouldn’t be long, and others are probably on their way too," the skinny youth replied.

"Recently, news has come that the academy will organize a competition, providing the opportunity to enter the Upper City Martial Arts Academy. Do you have any thoughts on this?" As they waited, they discussed the news.

"According to the elders’ plan, it’s said to be selecting disciples below the mid-grade Condensed Vitality level, but the specifics are not yet determined."

As they discussed, someone arrived outside, near Lin Yuan.

That person also entered the hall but, finding no one paying attention, left the hall and sat beside Lin Yuan. The two were both quiet and did not speak.

As time passed, occasionally one or two richly dressed aristocratic disciples walked past the pavilion.

They glanced at the two beside Lin Yuan, then entered the inner hall, greeted by a burst of laughter.

About the time it takes for an incense stick to burn later, two attendants led someone in.

That person was short and chubby, with a round face and a somewhat lascivious smile.

"Such a strong herbal scent, this person must be an alchemist," Lin Yuan thought as he noticed the person pass by, his nose twitching slightly.

As soon as this person entered the hall, those inside immediately came out to greet him.

"Pill Master Yue, I have been remiss in greeting you, please forgive me," said the man in the center of the hall, leading everyone out to welcome him.

"Haha." Yue Jiang laughed, "Invited by Young Master Pei, how could I not come?"

After rounds of flattering, they sat at the dining table.

Then the attendants came out and invited Lin Yuan and his company inside.

"You two," Xia Yingqiu said lightly, "this is Pei Shijing from the Pei family, Young Master Pei."

"Both of you have stirred trouble in the academy, and it was Young Master Pei who protected you with all his might. Do you understand?" Xia Yingqiu glanced at them with her beautiful eyes.

"Thank you," Lin Yuan and the person next to him nodded slightly.

They had to admit that after killing An Heng, nothing happened to them, thanks to this man’s efforts.

"This banquet, firstly, is for Young Master Pei to meet you, whom he has never seen before. Secondly, it’s because he values talent, and both of you have some martial potential but are trapped, and he wants to pull you out."

Xia Yingqiu said lightly, "How today goes depends on your performance."

The person next to Lin Yuan hurriedly nodded in agreement.

"I see, it’s just an invitation from aristocratic disciples," Lin Yuan understood, "first suppress us to indicate different status and class, then offer us benefits."

To hang the carrot in front and let the mule chase without getting it, full of calculations.

Frankly, Lin Yuan thought, from entering Huai River Pier, if not for his profound strength, he would have been drowned in endless plots long ago, impossible to be here talking to them?

Lin Yuan thought further, "Using their influence, I still need to give a bit of face."

Confident in his decision, Lin Yuan spoke, "Thank you all."

"Very good, one who knows the times is a wise man," Xia Yingqiu smiled, turning to ask the middle seat man, "Shijing?"

With a slight nod, pointing to the short, chubby man beside him, Pei Shijing smiled and said, "This is Yue Jiang, Alchemy Master at the Beiqing Hall of the Pill Medicine Hall."

"Master Yue, inviting Master Yue here is to introduce him to you two."

"Join my faction, and you can steadily advance to Condensed Vitality without worrying about past entanglements."

"Additionally, my Pei family provides you with Guest Elder’s secret methods."

Pei Shijing said lightly, "After advancing to Condensed Vitality, what is most important? Supplemental pills are crucial!"

"In the future, four low-grade Five Qi Pills are provided to you monthly. You can enter the Pill Medicine Hall, and every year, you can request Master Yue to specifically refine Five Qi Pills for you four times."

Pei Shijing raised his wine cup with a mild smile, "If you both agree, drink this glass of wine."

After speaking, Pei Shijing raised his wine cup and drank it all.
