Hundred Refinements Valley's Staple Food Feast!
This banquet was held in the largest banquet hall in Hundred Refinements Valley, and it was specially prepared by Hundred Refinements Valley to entertain guests from all sides.
As time went by, the banquet hall gradually welcomed guests from all walks of life.
The disciples of Hundred Refinements Valley guided the guests one by one. Although it was a banquet, the seating arrangements were extremely particular.
As various forces arrived, some quickly noticed something amiss.
"Isn't that the area where the Ten Great Sects are supposed to be? Why don't I see Chu Xinghe's name?" someone asked, pointing to the area that should have been reserved for the Ten Great Sects.
Everyone looked up and saw that it was indeed the case.
Chu Xinghe's name was nowhere to be found among the Ten Great Sects.
"Could it be that the Ouyang Lineage offended Valley Master Ou in front of the Hundred Refinements Valley's gate, and Valley Master Ou wants to give the Vast Heaven Sect a hard time?"
"Young man, your thinking is dangerous... Although this is Hundred Refinements Valley, I have to say, are you tired of living in Hundred Refinements Valley?"
To intimidate the Vast Heaven Sect?
There are probably not many people in this world who would dare to do this, at least not Hundred Refinements Valley.
Just when everyone was wondering what was going on, someone suddenly noticed Chu Xinghe's name.
"Look, Chu Xinghe's name is on the main table!"
At the shout, everyone turned to look.
Chu Xinghe's name was on the main table, and that seat... seemed to be the seat for the most honored guest at the main table?
Seeing this scene, countless talented individuals present felt a pang of envy.
Many people were waiting to see Chu Xinghe make a fool of himself since they didn't see his name on the table of the Ten Great Sects.
You, Chu Xinghe, didn't even reserve a spot in Ten Great Sects for you. We'll see how you get out of this mess soon enough.
We're all exceptional individuals; who doesn't have a little pride inside, right?
But now, when they saw Chu Xinghe's name appear at the head table, in the most honored guest of honor position, all the prodigies were speechless.
Holy crap... this is just too unreasonable!
Both are prodigies, yet Chu Xinghe is seated as the guest of honor, while even the Grand Elder of the Raging Fire Sect can only sit in the secondary guest of honor position?
Anyone else in that position would have severely offended the Raging Fire Sect.
But he is Chu Xinghe!
Soon, the guests from all sides took their seats. Chu Xinghe was also completely bewildered. He searched for a long time for the seats of the Ten Great Sects but couldn't find his own seat.
"Xinghe, your position is over here..." Ou Yunsheng's voice came from behind.
Following the direction pointed out by Valley Master Ou, Chu Xinghe also saw his own location.
Goodness, isn't this a bit too much of a low-key arrangement for the guest of honor?
However, seeing everyone at the table waiting for him with smiles on their faces, Chu Xinghe didn't say anything more and went straight up.
As for the Ouyang Lineage, Hundred Refinements Valley had also specially arranged separate seats for them.
Sitting with a bunch of old guys was something Chu Xinghe genuinely wanted to avoid.
Look at that bunch of old folks, faking smiles for decades. I, so innocent and kind, can't possibly fit in with them.
The Raging Fire Sect sent their Grand Elder this time. According to past rules, he would definitely be seated in the guest of honor position, after all, we are the second best in the world!
Today, the elder in red robes was somewhat displeased to find that the seat of honor had been taken. However, when he saw that Chu Xinghe was the guest of honor, his displeasure vanished just as quickly.
The Raging Fire Sect has made some progress in the past two years, but compared to the behemoth that is the Vast Heaven Sect, it's not even worth comparing; it's better to just throw it away.
Although Chu Xinghe is a junior, everyone in the Vast Heaven Sect knows his status.
The Grand Elder of the Raging Fire Sect is not yet at the point where he intends to challenge the Clear Vast Heaven Sect.
The guests took their seats, and Ou Yunsheng into a long, impassioned speech.
What kind of nonsense is this, thanking everyone for their support and telling everyone to work hard this year to achieve even better results and contribute to the weapon forging industry?
The old guys, however, knew how to flatter, thanking Ou Yunsheng for his hospitality.
In particular, Zhao Yunkun, the Grand Elder of the Raging Fire Sect, slammed his fist on the table, saying that everyone should definitely try the Hundred Refinements Valley's cooking, as the Hundred Refinements Valley's banquets were renowned far and wide.
This statement once garnered widespread agreement.
But this approval lasted less than two and a half minutes before it collapsed.
Has anyone ever seen a banquet where the first course is the main dish?
Chu Xinghe was also stunned!
You were all banging on the table, praising how amazing the Hundred Refinements Valley banquet was, and the first dish served was a bowl of steamed buns? Seriously?
What? Is this a unique way of entertaining guests from Hundred Refinements Valley?
Okay... even if serving steamed buns as the first dish is a unique method of Hundred Refinements Valley, then what's the meaning of serving a huge bowl of rice as the second dish?
Is this considered a dish or a staple food?
Without further ado, let's serve the main course first. You all were right, the banquet at Hundred Refinements Valley is indeed extraordinary.
Not only Chu Xinghe, but a group of old guys were also dumbfounded, especially Zhao Yunkun, who had just spent more than a thousand words praising the Hundred Refinements Valley banquet. Now he looked at Ou Yunsheng with a blank expression.
Valley Master Ou, are you deliberately targeting me?
One dish after another was served to the table by the disciples of Hundred Refinements Valley. Chu Xinghe slapped the table and praised the creativity of the Hundred Refinements Valley chefs.
Anyway, if it were our Vast Heaven Sect, we would never make so many different kinds of staple food!
Ou Yunsheng's face darkened...
Grabbing a Hundred Refinements Valley disciple who was serving dishes, Ou Yunsheng questioned him in a low voice.
"Didn't I tell you to use the teleportation array to hire a cook and buy groceries? What the hell is this?"
"Valley Master... it's true you used the teleportation array, but it's too late, and we really couldn't buy much food. Even then, we only managed to snatch some from various restaurants... the rest is all staple food..."
Ou Yunsheng's vision went black, and he almost walked away on the spot.
This banquet was undoubtedly the most special one that Chu Xinghe and all the guests had ever experienced.
Has anyone ever seen a table piled high with all sorts of fancy staple foods?
If you're not Ou Guzhu, how did you manage to raise your glass and say "Everyone, please enjoy your meal and drinks" while facing a table full of staple foods?
I just ate three steamed buns and I'm full without even needing to eat the second dish of rice, okay?
So, is Hundred Refinements Valley trying to humiliate all of us?
It's one thing to serve main courses, but why did you only serve empty plates and bowls to the Ouyang Lineage's table?
Although the Ouyang Lineage had a falling out with you before, is this how Hundred Refinements Valley treats its guests?
Chu Xinghe stared at the table laden with staple food and the empty table in the Ouyang Lineage, lost in thought.
Regardless of whether Valley Master Ou's idea for this meal was original or whether he was a master of staple foods, it's safe to say that the Ouyang Lineage has absolutely wronged Hundred Refinements Valley.
It wasn't that Hundred Refinements Valley was serving empty plates and bowls to the Ouyang Lineage; the main problem was that the Ouyang Lineage ate too fast, and the speed at which the main dishes were served couldn't keep up with their consumption rate.
A banquet like this would definitely leave both the host and guests unhappy.
The faces of the people who had eaten their fill of staple food were even paler than the food on the table when they left.
What's even more outrageous is that Ouyang Lineage shouted that he wasn't full, which attracted a group of people to look at Ou Yunsheng with questioning eyes.
At this moment, Ou Yunsheng just wanted to find a corner to bang his head against and die...
Even the day Vast Heaven Sect lost to Ouyang Ling wasn't as humiliating as today.
In this second round, I didn't even have time to put up my strength before the Ouyang Lineage wiped me out completely... This grand feast will probably be the focus of discussion throughout the world for a long time to come.
Those people you listened to, they all call themselves "staple food fanatics"? You've completely misunderstood...
The guests, having eaten their fill of staple food that night, must be sleepless, as must the livestock of Hundred Refinements Valley...
Sure enough, wherever the Ouyang Lineage went, no livestock escaped starvation...
After the banquet, Chu Xinghe locked up the Ouyang siblings and everyone in the Ouyang Lineage.
You are absolutely not allowed to step into the kitchen without my permission.
It's not that I'm afraid of Hundred Refinements Valley losing face, it's just that I don't want to eat any staple food for breakfast tomorrow!
Sure enough, without the Ouyang Lineage, the breakfast the next day... became even more abnormal!
Has anyone ever seen a breakfast with over 800 dishes?
Has Hundred Refinements Valley gone mad? Your way of entertaining guests is rather peculiar... Yesterday you had a lavish feast with a table full of staple foods, and today you prepared over eight hundred dishes for breakfast. What exactly is Valley Master Ou planning?
What's that saying again? Eat breakfast like a king and dinner like a beggar?
Master Ou, are you trying to play the health and wellness game with me?
So after being a staple food fanatic, Master Ou also earned the title of health and wellness expert.
After the catering controversy subsided, the All-Under-Heaven Spirit Weapon Grand Gathering commenced under the auspices of Master Ou, a staple food fanatic and health enthusiast.
The first day's competition was mainly reserved for the young disciples from each faction, who would also showcase their skills in weapon crafting. Chu Xinghe pulled Ouyang Ming aside, wanting him to participate.
But Ouyang Ming resolutely refused!
"Senior Brother Xinghe, I am the head of the Ouyang Lineage. How can I participate in the competition of young disciples? That would be too much of a bullying!" Ouyang Ming said with a serious expression.
Chu Xinghe was speechless!
Bullying someone? Is that what I meant?
My main goal was to embarrass you on stage!
If the new generation head of the prestigious Ouyang Lineage is to be humiliated by a young disciple on the very first day of the Spirit Weapon Grand Gathering, just ask the various sects and departments how shocked they would be!
Ouyang Ming absolutely refused to make a move, stating that his only enemies were the top ten weapon refiners in the world!
Okay, if you want to embarrass yourself, I won't stop you even if it's your senior.
Ouyang Ling, on the other hand, cried and begged to go down and fight the younger generation to the death.
Fortunately, Chu Xinghe reacted quickly... and pulled Ouyang Ling back.
Are you going to go down and fight to the death?
Are you planning to go down there and torture them all to death...? You're the number one spirit-possessing expert in the world, and you're bullying the younger generation of newcomers? Ouyang Ling, have you no shame?
Can't we have any bottom line?
Compared to the Ouyang Lineage's Spirit Enchantment Techniques, Chu Xinghe felt that Ouyang Ling's utterly shameless behavior was what made her most terrifying!
Therefore, Chu Xinghe kept a close eye on Ouyang Ling for the rest of the time.
Want to show your face? No way!
I, Chu Xinghe, came to this Spirit Weapon Grand Gathering to make you look good? I came to embarrass you.
This person, Chu Xinghe, and my Vast Heaven Sect are doomed!
