Speaking of which, despite having been greeted already, the guests who came today all brought gifts, big or small.
They were not particularly valuable, but they all carried a touch of thoughtfulness.
Yuan Xiaoyue’s fifty-year-old pineapple wine, Tang Quan’s incense burner Bai Meding’s strange flower, a handful of seeds from Feng Xia, and a small secret to maintaining magic tools from Duan Feng.
Big Brother Wang Yuan also came over just now, bringing Luo Chen a bottle of the special elixir – Gold-Quality Jade Liquid from Taishan District.
It is said that regular application is very beneficial for body refinement.
Big Brother Qin and his wife also gave him a folding fan, although it’s just a lower grade magic tool, its appearance is extraordinarily striking!
Luo Chen joked about receiving a fan just before winter, but upon hearing from his sister-in-law that it was personally selected by Big Brother Qin, he had no more comments.
During his daily sparring at the Trial Palace, he casually mentioned a few things, such as flying on a sword, white robes, and folding fans, which constituted the aesthetic of immortal cultivation.
He didn’t expect Big Brother Qin to take it to heart.
Only Gu Caiyi, following Luo Chen’s instructions, didn’t give him any gifts.
After all, they are so familiar with each other, and giving gifts would make things weird.
Taking all these small gifts to heart, Luo Chen’s actions in boiling the soup became even more vigorous.
This is his first official birthday since coming here, proving that he has finally settled down in this unfamiliar world.
He must make sure everyone is well-fed and merry!
Several Moonlight Stones were placed around the courtyard, which, in combination with the bright moonlight, made the courtyard as bright as day. The hot pot was steaming, there were over a dozen different stir-fried dishes all of which were colorful, fragrant, and delicious, accompanied by several cold dishes.
In addition, Luo Chen’s roasted Immortal Beans and popcorn were placed in various corners.
A total of twelve people, filled a big table.
Filling up with wine, they drink to their heart’s content.
Under the greetings of Luo Chen and Zeng Wen, the atmosphere instantly rose. Everyone chatted about various occurrences in and around The Great River District. Even the usually quiet and reserved Wang Yuan spoke about an interesting thing in Taishan District.
He told us about a young man from an Immortal Cultivation Clan who was accepted into a Golden Core Sect in the Yu Ding Realm.
He accidentally entered the sect’s secret area and saw the sect leader’s daughter bathing. He thought he was going to soar to new heights, and their clan even prepared the bride price.
However, the sect leader’s daughter wasn’t willing and even persuaded the elder to wipe out that clan.
This was originally a tragic event of a family’s ruin and people’s deaths, but because it contained some erotic elements and was told by Wang Yuan, it somehow became humorous.
Midway through the drinking, Zeng Wen felt that it was not lively enough, so he simply led the group to play a drinking game.
The others didn’t back down, even the outwardly cold but inwardly enthusiastic Duan Feng showed a bit of skill.
When it was Luo Chen’s turn, things got a bit awkward.
“I can’t do it!”
“Didn’t I cross over here to cultivate immortality? Why on earth do I have to do something literary?”
With no other choice, he took a big gulp of wine.
Seeing his embarrassment, Gu Caiyi took the lead and said she would perform a dance for everyone.
Everyone cheered in unison!
Gu Caiyi didn’t hesitate; she winked at Luo Chen, let her sleeves flutter, and soared into the courtyard sky.
The stunning dance that had impressed everyone on the Dao Debate Platform was shown once again.
Luo Chen watched fascinated. He got the hint from her gaze. This dance was his birthday gift.
Back when they had just moved into the courtyard, he had said he wanted to see her dance privately, but it had never happened.
Now his wish was finally fulfilled, although there were other people watching as well.
Zeng Wen next to him sighed regretfully, saying that there was no longer such dancing grace in the Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion.
“Having been in the clan for a long time, my dancing has become a bit rusty.” After landing, Gu Caiyi smiled modestly, but the applause clearly disagreed with her humble words.
Zeng Wen wanted to restart the drinking game, but everyone was bored, so they proposed to switch a different game.
This didn’t stump Zeng Wen, who was usually lively in social places; he quickly brought out a small pot and some arrows.
“Let’s play Touhu!”
“What’s so fun about this game? It can’t present a challenge to us cultivators.”
“No no no, you’re underestimating Touhu,” said Zeng Wen confidently. “In Touhu, Foundation Establishment Cultivators aren’t allowed to use their Spirit Consciousness, and Qi Refinement Cultivators can’t use Spirit Power.”
‘Also, this little pot is actually a Medium Grade Defense Magic Tool with an internal array. If your eyesight isn’t good or your strength isn’t enough, you won’t be able to get it in!”
With this explanation, everyone was interested.
They picked up the arrows and started to throw them into the pot.
Whoever lost had to drink.
Of course, after Wang Yuan showed a bit of his skill, he was disqualified from the game.
Physical Cultivator playing Touhu is just cheating!
In this joyful atmosphere, someone suddenly said.
“It’s snowing!”
Everyone stopped playing Touhu and no longer talked with one another. They looked up at the sky.
Under the night sky, crystalline hexagonal snowflakes fluttered down.
“Who knows how many Rogue Cultivators will die this year in The Great River District.”
“Ah, let everyone follow their own fates!”
