Chapter 509 - 670 : green vitality

The Jianyi family had only five people in total, and until now, none of them had left Yunxi Town.

The rest were all merely servants.

One day,

A guard arrived before the Jianyi residence. The character "Hua" was embroidered on the chest of his uniform.

"I am a guard of the Hua family. Three days later, my Hua family's Old Ancestor will celebrate her birthday. Her venerable self heard that your Jianyi family has just moved here and intends to show care, specially inviting your Jianyi Family Head to attend.

"This is the invitation. Please keep it well."

After handing the invitation to the Jianyi family guard, Wu Zhusan, the Hua family guard directly stepped on his sword and left.

Wu Zhusan immediately walked into the residence and arrived at the rear courtyard. Standing before Wentian's room, he cupped his fists and said, "Family Head, the Hua family sent an invitation. Three days later, they invite you to go celebrate the Hua family Old Ancestor's birthday."

"The Hua family?"

The door suddenly opened, and the invitation in Wu Zhusan's hand was drawn inside. Then a voice continued, "I understand. Zhusan, continue your duty."

"Yes, Family Head."

Inside the room,

Wentian opened the invitation and glanced at it. After pondering for a moment, he decided to make a trip to the Hua family.

With the Hua family's status, all Foundation Establishment families in Yunxi Town would definitely be invited. It was also a good chance to see them.

He could also observe the people of the Yuan, Hua, and Fang families.

Wentian transmitted to one of the Wu clan members and had him go outside to inquire about the Hua family birthday banquet.

Over half an hour later,

Wu Zhuliu returned and reported the news.

It turned out that the Hua family Old Ancestor was celebrating her two-hundredth birthday.

Foundation Establishment cultivators only lived two hundred and forty years.

This two-hundredth birthday banquet could indeed be considered a major banquet.

The Hua family Old Ancestor was called Hua Qingxue. She was one of the Hua family's several Foundation Establishment completion cultivators. Her status and seniority in the Hua family were both the highest, and she could be said to be the person in power in the Hua family.

A female Foundation Establishment completion cultivator.

Then the gift was simple. If her appearance was aged, he would take out a Return-to-Youth Pill.

This pill was self-created by Wentian and only made one's appearance recover youth. As for the body's qi, blood, vitality, and so on, they remained unchanged.

It was far inferior to Wentian personally casting a spell, which could reverse vitality and return one's qi and vigor to that of youth, only leaving lifespan unchanged.

If the Hua family Old Ancestor's appearance remained young, then he would give a Beauty-Preserving Pill.

Its value was ordinary, but it was something female cultivators loved most.

A thousand gold could not buy what the heart desired. One pill was enough to prevent Wentian from being criticized.

In the blink of an eye, three days passed.

Wentian went alone to the Hua family to offer birthday congratulations.

At the gate, someone checked the invitation. Wentian handed it over and entered smoothly.

However, no few people discussed whose family's junior he was, and why he had come alone.

The Hua family residence was extremely vast.

The birthday banquet was held in the garden. There were many open terraces, divided into three levels according to height, near a small lake. Near the shore of the lake, there were many green lotus leaves and clear lotus flowers.

On the central terrace, there was a song and dance performance, while on both sides were people playing music.

The Hua family Old Ancestor, as well as the Foundation Establishment completion cultivators of the Yuan family and Fang family, sat on the highest terrace in the center. The other terraces were all filled with honored guests, without a single empty seat.

Wentian sat below like a transparent person, enjoying the song and dance while silently observing the others.

Half an hour later,

The gift presentation segment began.

The first were naturally the Yuan and Fang family Foundation Establishment completion cultivators seated closest to the Hua family Old Ancestor.

"Fairy Qingxue, this Yuan presents a top-grade magic artifact, the Bright Jade Hairpin, created by Firecloud Perfected One's third disciple. I congratulate Fairy on eternal youth."

"Fairy Qingxue, this Fang has also prepared a top-grade magic artifact. This is the Five-Colored Rosy Silk. If you drape it over yourself, it will add even more immortal grace."

When Wentian heard this, he almost laughed.

Although the words of these great figures from the Yuan and Fang families sounded pleasant, no matter how one listened, they were filled with mockery.

After all, the Hua family Old Ancestor had a head full of silvery snow. Although she was not like an eighty-year-old woman with wrinkled, chicken-like skin all over her face, she still had wrinkles like a woman in her fifties or sixties.

After the important figures of the Yuan and Fang families gave their gifts, next were the descendants of the Hua family.

Then came the other guest families.

"Has anyone from the Jianyi family come?"

Halfway through the gift presentation, the Hua family Old Ancestor suddenly spoke. The banquet instantly fell quiet.

Everyone looked at one another, and surprisingly, no one recognized Wentian.

Wentian smiled faintly, rose, and bowed slightly toward the Hua family Old Ancestor. "Daoist Hua, this Jianyi is here."

Everyone looked toward the voice, and each of them was immediately astonished.

Why was he so young?

However, his cultivation seemed correct. Just like the rumors, he was at the seventh level of Foundation Establishment.

"You are Wentian, Daoist Jianyi?" Hua family Old Ancestor's eyes flickered. Then she smiled faintly and said, "Daoist, you are very young.

"I knew that your Jianyi family has only just moved to Yunxi Town and surely would not be familiar with the various families, so I invited you here in order to let you meet all the fellow Daoists."

"Many thanks for Daoist Hua's kindness. This Jianyi accepts it in his heart." Wentian said, "Today, this Jianyi has also prepared a congratulatory gift for Daoist Hua."

After saying this, he slapped his storage pouch, and a delicate palm-sized purple sandalwood hexagonal wooden box flew out.

Then he sent it before the Hua family Old Ancestor.

"What is this?"

"Daoist Hua will know once you open it."

The Hua family Old Ancestor gently tapped with her hand, and the purple sandalwood hexagonal wooden box opened. Inside were two pills.

"Pills?"

Wentian smiled and cupped his fists. "The one on the left is a Return-to-Youth Pill, and the one on the right is a Beauty-Preserving Pill. Today, I offer these two pills to wish Fairy Hua eternal youth for the rest of your life."

"Return-to-Youth Pill? Beauty-Preserving Pill?"

Everyone immediately began discussing.

"I know the Beauty-Preserving Pill, but I have never heard of the Return-to-Youth Pill."

"Me too. I do not know whether its effect is real or false."

A sharp light flashed and vanished in the Hua family Old Ancestor's eyes, seeming to carry a bit of surprise. "Daoist Jianyi, Return-to-Youth. Does this pill truly have an effect?"

"This was something this Jianyi obtained by chance. As for its effect, Daoist Hua can know a thing or two by looking at this Jianyi. Back then, when this Jianyi obtained this pill, there were only a few."

Wentian lied continuously as he opened his mouth. "One of them was used on this Jianyi myself."

"As for the Beauty-Preserving Pill, it was bought by chance in another immortal cultivation city."

In any case, everything was by chance!

The Hua family Old Ancestor sized Wentian up for a long while. In the end, she could not hold back and picked up the Return-to-Youth Pill, swallowing it.

In an instant,

A flow of green vitality circled around her body.

A short while later,

The Hua family Old Ancestor's full head of silver frost turned back into black hair. The wrinkles on her face were rapidly smoothed away, and her appearance seemed to reverse with time, returning to youth.

Everyone was shocked by this scene.

In the immortal cultivation world, there were indeed cultivation arts or pills that could preserve one's appearance and maintain eternal youth, but they were not commonly seen.

Today, they truly witnessed it once.
