Showing Off

Lin Xin Tong's appearance naturally became the focus of everyone's attention. Shentu Nantian smiled and slightly stood up, saying, "Miss Lin, it's been a long time."

In this situation, even though Lin Xin Tong didn't have a good impression of Shentu Nantian, she still nodded politely.

Once inside the VIP seating area, Lin Xin Tong sat in her assigned seat and remained silent.

Shentu Nantian didn't bother Lin Xin Tong either; aside from a polite greeting at the beginning, he didn't bother her again.

Even some of the Lin family disciples who disliked Shentu Nantian had to admit that Shentu Nantian's words, actions, and attitude did not evoke any resentment.

Although the Shentu Family is now showing a greater desire for a marriage alliance, Shentu Nantian does not give the impression that he is begging the Lin family. His words and actions are neither humble nor arrogant, and he is just right. He does not pursue Lin Xin Tong Shentu Nantian, nor does he neglect her excessively. Such a man is very popular with girls, and even many young women from the Lin family are somewhat moved by Shentu Nantian.

A handsome young man with outstanding looks, temperament, and abilities is truly the ideal person to entrust one's life to. Even if he cannot be the principal wife, being a concubine would be quite good.

The tea party proceeded smoothly, with a group of important figures enjoying tea and conversation at the VIP seats. They discussed their insights on the Savage Heaven Technique, exchanged opinions, and seemed to be having a great time.

Su Jie didn't say much, and Lin Xin Tong remained completely silent, while Shentu Nantian was adept at navigating the situation, like a fish in water.

Even within the Lin family, Shentu Nantian now has many supporters, such as Lin Xin Tong's great-aunt and Sixth Uncle, who are currently having a lively conversation with Shentu Nantian.

The great-aunt, dressed in palace attire, addressed him affectionately as "My dear nephew from the South."

"Nephew Nantian is truly remarkable. Not only is his strength outstanding, but I've also heard that he has profound attainments in the Savage Heaven Technique. Why don't you go up on stage and show me your skills later, so that I can broaden my horizons as well!"

Lin Xin Tong's great-aunt smiled broadly, her old face beaming with joy.

"Grandmother, you flatter me. I have only a slight understanding of the Savage Heaven Technique." After the woman in palace attire introduced herself, Shentu Nantian naturally used the same form of address as Lin Xin Tong, which seemed more intimate. "The path of martial arts is fraught with thorns. Although Nantian's aptitude is passable, progress is still difficult. Martial arts training has already taken up too much of my time, leaving me with little energy to study the Savage Heaven Technique. Therefore, I have only taken some unorthodox methods. Currently, I only know the bone-refining method that combines Blood Pills and Relics."

Shentu Nantian spoke modestly, but in reality, many prodigies who focus on martial arts, such as Lin Xin Tong, also dabble in alchemy, Savage Heaven Technique, and formations. This broad knowledge greatly helps their martial arts path in the future, and Shentu Nantian is no exception.

At this moment, Yi Yun, who was on the Evening Breeze Pavilion, looked at Shentu Nantian from afar, his gaze turning gloomy.

A bone-refining method combining blood pills and relics...

Besides their precious bones, the blood of many wild beasts is also extremely valuable and can be used to refine blood pills.

However, for Shentu Nantian, the best material for refining the Blood Pill was not the blood of wild beasts, but the blood of the wild tribe members!

How could Yi Yun forget that a few months ago at the Prince Chu's Estate's mansion, Shentu Nantian captured Jiang Xiaorou, the first thing he did was to ask the Prince Chu to set aside a pill-refining room for him so that he could use Jiang Xiaorou's blood to refine blood pills!

Now that Shentu Nantian is being questioned by so many people, he is also using the combination of Blood Pill and Bone Relic to flaunt his Savage Heaven Technique. Upon hearing this, Yi Yun's killing intent naturally rises.

"Haha, the Savage Heaven Technique covers such a wide range that mastering just one aspect is enough!"

An elder from the Lin family echoed this sentiment, noting that even those elders who were not particularly supportive of the marriage alliance between the Lin family and the Shentu Family were still quite enthusiastic about Shentu Nantian. After all, no one could predict what the future held, and offending this son-in-law was definitely not a wise move.

Compared to the other remote corners of the tea party, the Lin family executives in the honored seats never stopped to chat with Shentu Nantian. As a result, Shentu Nantian undoubtedly became the focus of everyone's attention, and he could be said to be the undisputed protagonist of this tea party.

On the Shentu Family's side, the older Lineage leaders intentionally gave up the stage to let Shentu Nantian perform.

If the elders of the Lin family all approve of Shentu Nantian, then this marriage alliance will naturally be more than half successful.

After the tea party had been going on for more than half an hour, Shentu Nantian stood up and said, "Everyone, this Savage Heaven Technique Tea Party has two purposes: first, to allow everyone to exchange knowledge of Savage Heaven Technique and improve together; and second, to prove to the Lin family that my Shentu Family's Savage Heaven Technique level is not bad. Now that most of you have eaten and drunk your fill, why don't we let the members of my Shentu Family go up on stage and perform their humble skills to add some fun to everyone!"

Shentu Nantian spoke, he gestured with his eyes, and a Shentu Family disciple sitting on the outer seats eagerly jumped onto the lake square. He looked to be about sixteen or seventeen years old, wearing the Shentu Family's uniform, and appeared very energetic.

"Esteemed seniors and distinguished talents, I am Shentu Jun, seventeen years old this year, Direct Disciple of Shentu Yanfei, the master of the Savage Heaven Technique of the Shentu Family. At this Savage Heaven Technique Tea Party, many masters have gathered. I humbly offer some of my trivial skills as a starting point to elicit your insights. I hope you will not be too proud to show them off!"

As Shen Shentu Jun spoke, he snapped his fingers, and a piece of barren bone appeared in his hand as if by magic.

Those present were all experts in the Savage Heaven Technique. Even from such a distance, they could clearly see that this piece of desolate bone was just an ordinary piece of desolate beast bone.

Actually, for a seventeen-year-old apprentice of the Savage Heaven Master, manipulating ordinary Desolate Bones seems a bit beneath him. However, as long as he can manipulate them in a variety of ways, it can still be quite pleasing to the eye.

"Rise!"

With a clear shout, Shentu Jun produced a Savage Heaven Technique Array Plate from his Space Ring. Then, Shentu Jun's ten fingers formed a series of hand seals, which flew through the air.

In an instant, Shentu Jun quickly extracted the energy from this desolate bone.

Shentu Jun's Shentu Jun characteristic was speed. He extracted energy from ordinary wild bones incredibly quickly, finishing them off in just over ten breaths!

This piece of barren bone turned grayish-white and was casually thrown away by Shentu Jun.

"Smack!"

With a crisp sound, the desolate bones, having lost all their essence, shattered on the ground like porcelain.

At this moment, Shentu Jun formed hand seals again, and in a short while, the Savage Power flying in the sky formed runes under his control.

These runes were all controlled by Shentu Jun, flying in the sky like a flock of birds.

"Gather!"

With a wave of his hand, Shentu Jun sent all the runes flying towards him like a hundred birds paying homage to a phoenix.

"Disperse!"

Shentu Jun waved his hand again. The runes immediately dispersed, as if they were his own limbs.

A group of runes, like a school of agile little fish, moved in perfect unison under Shentu Jun's control, creating a dazzling spectacle.

"Good!"

"Sharp!"

On the surrounding pavilions, the Shentu Family and their allied Lineage, along with their apprentices of the Savage Heaven Master Shentu Family, clapped and cheered, encouraging the Shentu Jun.

Shentu Jun's method was clearly not a technique for refining the Savage Bone Relic, but simply a display of his energy control and hand seal skills. It was purely a show of skill. Of course, no one would manipulate runes to perform so many flashy but impractical actions when truly refining the Savage Bone Relic.

In the seats of honor, the high-ranking members of the Shentu Family and Lin families all nodded slightly as they watched the performance.

However, the Savage Heaven Master like Su Jie and the Middle-aged man surnamed Sun had no such thoughts. This was a duel between the two Lineage' Savage Heaven Techniques, especially since the two families' Savage Heaven Master had already clashed, so they certainly couldn't be outdone.

An elder of the Lin family, a Savage Heaven Master, nodded towards a small pavilion on the outskirts of the tea party. Immediately, a young man dressed in purple jumped onto the square.

He clasped his hands and said, "My name is Lin Yue, Direct Disciple of Lin Fenglang, the Savage Heaven Master of the Lin family. I am also seventeen years old. Watching Brother Shentu perform alone is a bit too weak. I'm itching to join in and plan to cooperate with you, just to make everyone laugh!"

As Lin Yue spoke, he took out the Wild Bone that he had prepared beforehand and extracted all the Savage Power contained within it as quickly as possible. Then, he formed hand seals one after another, turning all the Savage Power into hand seals, and a group of talismans immediately flew up.
