Chapter 47: After modification: Chapter 47 Birthday Feast
The next morning, Bai Ziyue was stopped by the same young miscellaneous disciple as last time and brought to the front hall.
This time, he specifically asked for the young man’s name and found out he was Liu Heng, who seemed to be the biological nephew of Sect Leader Liu Dong. Due to insufficient martial arts talent, he could only become a miscellaneous disciple.
However, no one in the sect dared to look down on him.
Sect Leader Liu Dong had already prepared suitable attire for him: a finely made white robe and a small military officer’s hat, which made him look exceptionally handsome, like a wealthy young master.
"Not bad, doesn’t make me lose face."
Liu Dong nodded and called out, leading the way forward.
A carriage was already waiting at the door, Bai Ziyue followed his master onto the carriage, and soon Liu Heng’s voice rang out, and the carriage moved toward the restaurant.
"You should start practicing martial arts now, what do you have?"
In the carriage, Master Liu Dong casually asked.
"Previously, Uncle Sun at Ming Pearl Restaurant taught me the Eighteen Linked Blades."
Bai Ziyue thought for a moment and decided to keep the One-character Punch technique he had learned from Mr. Hou to himself.
"Sword Technique? Not bad, although I mainly practice fist techniques, I know that sword techniques prioritize sharpness and aggression.
To achieve success, you must go through many battles to cultivate killing intent.
*With your age, you may not have killed before, so cultivating killing intent and achieving success in sword techniques will be extremely difficult.*"
Liu Dong said with a smile.
*"How can one cultivate killing intent?"*
Bai Ziyue’s heart was moved, and he asked.
"Do you know who among ordinary people has the heaviest killing intent?" freewebnσvel.cѳm
Liu Dong asked in return.
"Butchers."
Bai Ziyue suddenly thought of the butchers he had seen at the slaughterhouse.
When they were slaughtering pigs and cattle, their faces were calm, their eyes indifferent, seemingly showing no expression, but their apathy toward life left a deep impression on him.
*Thinking about it now, isn’t this killing intent?*
"Exactly, butchers."
Liu Dong nodded and said, "If you really want to practice sword techniques well, I can arrange for you to go to the Sunburst Gang’s slaughterhouse. You can practice sword techniques there and develop your killing intent.
As your master, I won’t specifically guide your martial arts training, but I can provide you with the best environment for cultivation.
For your current martial arts training and the resources needed for future External Forging, I will help arrange them for you.
But your actual achievements still depend on yourself."
"Thank you, Master."
*Bai Ziyue was excited and quickly said,* "I like sword techniques; I am willing to go to the slaughterhouse."
*Originally, he had temporarily lost access to Soul Energy since leaving the Ming Pearl Restaurant.*
*Unexpectedly, things took a turn for the better, and he regained the opportunity to enter the slaughterhouse through his master.*
*Thus, his Soul Energy could increase once more.*
*This was enormously beneficial to enhancing his strength.*
Unaware of the passage of time, the carriage had already stopped.
Wangjiang Pavilion!
After getting off the carriage, Bai Ziyue looked up at the sign.
Wangjiang Pavilion stood by the river; it was the largest restaurant in Qinghe Town. Compared to it, Ming Pearl Restaurant was lacking.
And since Yang Zhengling, the town’s chief official, was hosting his father’s birthday banquet, it was only natural to hold it at Wangjiang Pavilion, a venue of the highest standard.
At this moment, there was a steady stream of prominent figures within the town, bringing gifts as they arrived.
Sect Leader Liu Dong led Bai Ziyue as they entered the restaurant.
Behind them, Liu Heng naturally followed, carrying the birthday gift.
"Sunburst Gang Sect Leader, Celestial Entwining Hand Liu Dong, presenting a pair of Seven-Pointed Ruyi, one hundred taels of gold..."
As an announcer’s voice rang out, Bai Ziyue followed Liu Dong into the restaurant leisurely.
Immediately, countless surprised voices emerged.
The Seven-Pointed Ruyi was a rare treasure of great value, and one hundred taels of gold, equivalent to one thousand taels of silver, could let a family of three live comfortably for a lifetime. Such a gift was indeed substantial.
However, considering Liu Dong’s status as the Sect Leader of Sunburst Gang, most people were not surprised.
The Sunburst Gang in Qinghe Town, although only a branch, was strong enough to rank among the top three.
As a prominent figure of the Sunburst Gang in Qinghe Town, Liu Dong’s generous gift was to be expected.
Immediately after, numerous people greeted Liu Dong warmly, including Yang Zhengling, who walked over with a smile, thanking him, "Thank you, Brother Liu, for attending my father’s birthday banquet."
"How could I not attend Old Master Yang’s birthday banquet?"
Liu Dong said with a smile.
"Haha..." Yang Zhengling laughed loudly, then looked at Bai Ziyue beside him, asked, "Who is this?"
"My newly accepted disciple, Ziyue, come quickly to pay your respects to Lord Guardian."
Liu Dong reprimanded him verbally but seemed quite pleased.
"Bai Ziyue pays respects to Lord Yang."
Bai Ziyue quickly stepped forward and said respectfully.
*When he first arrived in Qinghe Town with Uncle Ming, he had seen the elegance of Lord Yang from a distance at the Beheading Platform. Later, he learned that Yang was a master who had long cultivated Inner Qi, so his respect was genuine.*
"Good, good, congratulations to Brother Liu on gaining an excellent disciple."
Yang Zhengling smiled and nodded, and then chatted with Liu Dong for a few more moments. But as one of the hosts of the birthday banquet, he soon needed to greet other guests and moved away.
Meanwhile, naturally, others approached to greet Liu Dong, including prominent figures from Qinghe Town, two Guardians of the Sunburst Gang, and four of the five main supervisors.
With Liu Heng providing introductions, Bai Ziyue recognized several people.
Many people were curious about Liu Dong’s newly accepted disciple, Bai Ziyue, and scrutinized him, while some deliberately tried to make friends, making him a bit overwhelmed for a while.
"Brother Zhao, his arrival has completely overshadowed you. Previously, when talking about the younger generation of Sunburst Gang, everyone knew you, Zhao Gangyi, as the strongest one."
Not far away, two youths, one tall and one short, stood. The shorter one spoke somewhat sourly.
"Hmph, so what? For now, he is only a disciple, relying on being the Sect Leader’s pupil to have some prestige. Years from now, when he starts External Forging, I’ll have already moved beyond Qinghe Town to Wujiang County, so why should I care about him?"
Zhao Gangyi snorted coldly, unmoved.
"At least for now, when people talk, they’ll say Bai Ziyue is more talented than you, Brother Zhao, and his future achievements will surely surpass yours. Isn’t that damaging to your reputation?"
The shorter youth continued provoking.
"Words are others’; what can I do?" Zhao Gangyi looked at the youth with disdain and glanced at Bai Ziyue in the distance, his gaze inevitably flickered.
Before the youth could speak again, the announcer’s voice rang out once more from outside.
This time, it was notably high-pitched.
"Daoist Wutong from Wutong Mountain, presenting a bottle of Nourishing Spirit Pill, a bottle of Nourishing Essence Pill, ten Sect Protection Talismans... accompanied by two disciples!"
