Chapter 22

Singing is a custom in Zhongzhou Mainland.

Generally, when someone from a wealthy family celebrates their birthday, they will sing out the guests' congratulatory gifts one by one.At the beginning, this custom was to show the host's respect for the guests, and to show that no matter what gifts the guests gave, the host would be happy to show them.But later, this kind of singing ceremony changed, and became a bad habit of comparing each other.If someone's gift is shabby, it will be laughed at by others, and the host will also express dissatisfaction.

But even if it is a bad habit, it has been passed down to this day.

When the tall and thin man mentioned singing ceremony just now, he just thought that Mu Ye was a casual cultivator and couldn't come up with any decent gifts.And he prepared for Su Cen's coming-of-age ceremony for a full month.Comparing the two, the tall and thin man can naturally overwhelm Mu Ye.

Mu Ye also knew what the tall and thin man was thinking, but he was too lazy to argue.Although Mu Ye is only 17 years old, after years of tempering, his temperament is much more mature than that of his peers. Mu Ye doesn't care about such boring comparisons.

Mu Ye didn't care, but Su Cen frowned slightly.She was fairly familiar with Mu Ye's family background, and in her heart, Mu Ye's congratulatory gift was probably rather shabby.

Although he didn't care what gift Mu Ye gave, Su Cen knew that his fellow apprentices would definitely use this to ridicule Mu Ye.Such a result, Su Cen did not want to see.

It's just that sect disciples seem to be born with contempt for casual cultivators.Su Cen did not change this deep-rooted concept.

As disciples of the sect, they have a systematic practice method, a complete supply of pills, and even magic weapons are refined by dedicated craftsmen.But loose cultivators have to do everything by themselves.Not to mention pills and magic weapons, many casual cultivators don't even have a complete set of exercises.Therefore, when facing casual cultivators, Zongmen disciples will naturally have a sense of superiority.

It's no wonder that the disciples of the Tianlan Sect showed contempt when they heard that Mu Ye was a casual cultivator.Especially Su Cen still has a little bit of protection for Mu Ye.It even made a group of young and energetic disciples of Tianlanzong feel dissatisfied.

A beautiful girl like Su Cen, with outstanding talent and kind heart, naturally has many suitors.But now it seems that Su Cen seems to be more personal to Mu Ye.Otherwise, they wouldn't have stopped them just because everyone was talking about Muye Sanxiu's identity.

Only in this way, the contempt of the crowd turned into a touch of jealousy.

Sighing slightly, Su Cen couldn't think of any good solution, so he could only take one step at a time.

At the beginning of Sishi, the guests left the backyard and went to the front hall to take their seats, and the singing ceremony began at the same time.

There are also many rules for singing ceremonies.First, the guests write their gifts on the post and hand them over to the host.Then the host sings the congratulatory gifts in turn according to the status of the guests.The process is very cumbersome, for example, who handed in the list of gifts first, and whose congratulatory gift was sung first, are very particular.

After writing the words "Washing Bone Pill" on the white rice paper in front of him, Mu Ye closed his eyes and meditated.He didn't know anyone here, and he didn't want to go over to talk to the group of Tianlanzong disciples, so he simply closed his eyes and thought about some problems in his practice.

After a cup of tea, the servants collected the guest's gift list.One of Su Cen's cousins ​​took the gift list and began to sing.

The first thing to sing was the congratulatory gifts from some ordinary relatives of Su Cen.They were all ordinary people, and the gifts they gave were nothing more than yellow and white things, so according to the rules of singing, their gifts were the first to be sung.Even though most of these people are Su Cen's elders.

Next came the congratulatory gifts from some wealthy children.Although they are not monks, they are inextricably linked with monks.For example, a merchant who is qualified to sell dark iron ore for Tianlanzong, or a merchant of pills and talismans designated by Tianlanzong.Although this group of people had no cultivation base, their status should not be underestimated, and the gifts they sent were not commonplace.They are all medicinal materials for alchemy, or materials for refining magical instruments.

The last thing to sing was a congratulatory gift from Su Cen's fellow disciples.As the inner disciples or even the elite disciples of the Tianlan Sect, they have a lot of wealth, coupled with their vague admiration for Su Cen, this group of young and energetic monks are extremely generous.

"Zhang Ning, a disciple of the Misty Sky Sect, sent the eighth-rank magic weapon, the Frost Sword, as a congratulatory gift!"

"Li Xiao, a disciple of the Tianlan Sect, sent the eighth-grade elixir back to Yuan Dan as a congratulatory gift!"

"Ouyang Junjie, a disciple of the Tianlan Sect, sent the eighth-rank magic weapon, the Aurora Seal, as a congratulatory gift!"

"Gu Yun, a disciple of the Tianlan Sect, sent a seventh-grade talisman and heart protection talisman as a congratulatory gift!"

...

The congratulatory gifts of this group of Tianlan sect disciples are more rare than each other.Even the cousin who sang the ceremony was a little unsteady in breathing, and his face was red.Any ordinary person would have this expression when he saw so many magical medicines.Even Mu Ye, who closed her eyes and meditated, opened her eyes, a little surprised.

This group of Tianlan Sect disciples are indeed very generous.Mu Ye sighed inwardly.

The singing continued.

As one gift list after another was sung from the mouth of the young cousin, the discussion of the crowd gradually turned into exclamations.In the end, every time a gift list was sung, the crowd burst into enthusiastic applause, which made all the disciples of the Tianlan Sect very proud.

However, what puzzled Mu Ye was that he hadn't seen his gift list after singing for a long time.It stands to reason that Mu Ye is a casual cultivator, and it is not uncommon to give gifts in public, so he should be the first to be sung among the cultivators.However, after waiting for a long time, seeing that the gift list was almost finished, there was still no Mu Ye.

Mu Ye couldn't help frowning.

In the end, there were only two gift slips left in that cousin's hand, and everyone was eagerly staring at those two thin sheets of rice paper, wondering what was on them.

The cousin was equally nervous, and opened the penultimate piece of rice paper excitedly.

"Lin Yan, a disciple of Tianlan Sect, send, send, send a sixth-grade magic treasure, gold, jade, and purple dragon clothes as a congratulatory gift!" The moment he opened the gift list and sang, his cousin's voice trembled a little.In the end, after finally holding his breath, he read out the congratulatory gift aloud.

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then a burst of exclamation resounded throughout the Su residence.

Sixth grade magic weapon?That's one of the middle three magic weapons!In Zhongzhou Continent, Seven Eighty Nine is the lower third rank magic weapon, and Four Five Six is ​​the middle third rank magic weapon.It is unbelievable that this golden jade purple dragon garment is actually a middle-grade magic weapon.You know, even a cultivator in the Pifu realm sometimes only has such a middle-grade magic weapon.

This Lin Yan was so willing.It seems that his love for Su Cen is already very deep.

After a long time, the lively discussions gradually subsided.Everyone's eyes were focused on the last piece of rice paper.

It was already a middle-grade magic weapon just now, what kind of shocking treasure should this last gift be?
The cousin slowly opened the rice paper with an almost pious expression.Everyone held their breath, waiting for him to sing the last gift.

In addition to the group of Tianlanzong disciples who were smiling, there was also Mu Ye who was frowning.

However, after opening the rice paper, the cousin didn't sing the salute immediately, but rubbed his eyes, checked for a few breaths, and then sang with doubts: "Sanxiu Muye, send the ninth-grade elixir to wash the bones Dan is a congratulatory gift."

As soon as the congratulatory gift came out, almost everyone focused their attention on Mu Ye.

As a casual cultivator, sending a ninth-grade elixir as a congratulatory gift is actually not considered shabby.But the problem is, Mu Ye's congratulatory gift was sung last.Just now everyone had great expectations for this last gift.Now that he got such a result, he was naturally a little puzzled, even disdainful.

Being stared at by so many people, even Mu Ye's resolute character could not help but blush a little.

Needless to say, this kind of thing must be caused by Lin Yan.Only by singing his congratulatory gift and Mu Ye's congratulatory gift together can he properly humiliate Mu Ye.

"Tsk tsk, the bone-washing elixir of the ninth rank. It's a good thing that monks in the early stage of nourishing Qi are scrambling for. Mu Daoyou is really generous."

"Senior brother Lin gave a sixth-grade magic weapon, and Fellow Daoist Mu gave a ninth-grade elixir. Nine is better than six. Naturally, we have to beat it and put it at the end."

"Senior Brother Ouyang has a good opinion. No wonder Fellow Daoist Mu's congratulatory gift was sung last."

...

Hearing the sarcasm of those sect disciples, Mu Ye narrowed his eyes and his face darkened.

What added fuel to the flames was that those ordinary people who were watching, after hearing the discussions of the disciples of the Tianlan Sect, also cast a faint contempt towards Mu Ye.This made Mu Ye's mood even worse.

Fortunately, Su Cen, who has been sitting in the main seat, saw this scene, quickly ran to Mu Ye, and whispered: "I'm really sorry, I didn't know they would go so far. Don't be angry, wait They're gone, I'll invite you to have dinner at Xuanling Restaurant alone, and apologize to you."

Hearing Su Cen's words, Mu Ye's anger subsided a little.Touching the small white porcelain bottle in his bosom, Mu Ye whispered: "Su Cen, I still have a congratulatory gift for you, but it's not convenient to give it face to face. Can we talk in the wing room?"

"And congratulatory gifts?" Su Cen was stunned, and looked at Mu Ye suspiciously.But out of respect, Su Cen didn't ask any more questions, just nodded and said, "That's good. Let's go."

After all, he took the lead and walked towards the wing on the left side of the front hall.

Mu Ye followed closely behind.

Seeing this scene, the group of Tianlanzong disciples changed from ridicule to insults.That Lin Yan even narrowed his long and narrow eagle eyes, staring at Mu Ye firmly, a faint murderous look flashed in his eyes.

A casual cultivator dared to go to the wing room alone to discuss matters with Su Cen, he deserved to be punished!

But Mu Ye ignored the anger of those people.After arriving in the wing room, he took out a small white porcelain bottle from his pocket, handed it to Su Cen and said, "Congratulations on growing up, this is my real gift to you."

"A real congratulatory gift?" Su Cen asked suspiciously, "You also prepared two congratulatory gifts?"

"Well, you can see for yourself." Mu Ye said with a slight smile.

Su Cen nodded, took the white porcelain bottle, and uncorked it.

The next moment, Su Cen was stunned on the spot.

A pink elixir the size of a thumb lay quietly in the center of the bottom of the bottle.A faint circle of mist surrounds the surface of the elixir, making it look like a dragon's eye.If some monks with strong spiritual sense were to observe it, they could even feel a faint fluctuation of the vitality of the world.

It is a Pifu Pill!

"You, you, you actually gave me Pifu Pill as a congratulatory gift?" Su Cen stared at Mu Ye with her beautiful eyes, and a faint blush appeared on her handsome face due to excitement.

Those who are collected are all good people; those who are recommended are all heroes.come on
