Because Shentu Nantian suffered a mental injury, and Shentu Hai and Shentu Feng were also injured, the Savage Heaven Technique Tea Party, which was originally scheduled to continue until sunset on the first day, ended prematurely.

Shentu Nantian is the main character of this Savage Heaven Technique Tea Party. The Shentu Family intends to use this Savage Heaven Technique Tea Party to help Shentu Nantian build a good relationship with the Lin family's higher-ups, while also showcasing his personal strength and impressing the old guys in the Lin family.

However, things turned out this way; the stage they had set up was ruined, and the Shentu Family felt humiliated.

Originally, there was supposed to be a duel between the older generation of Savage Heaven Technique experts, which would have been the main event, but it has now been postponed to three days later.

After the tea party ended, the Shentu Family gathered several elders to investigate why Shentu Nantian's Four Symbols Seal had collapsed at the last moment.

However, even after a long time of studying it together, the group still couldn't figure it out.

This was really asking too much of them, because apart from Granny Thousand Hands, none of the others had ever been exposed to the Four Symbols Seal.

The only party involved Shentu Nantian, could only provide a vague and unclear description.

This made Granny Thousand Hands' old face contort in pain.

What she fears most is that the inheritance itself will be compromised.

As a legacy found by the Shentu Family in the secret realm, the Four Symbols Seal is undoubtedly a genuine ancient Savage Heaven Technique inheritance, without a doubt. However, Granny Thousand Hands is concerned about whether the Four Symbols Seal needs to be used in conjunction with other Savage Heaven Technique inheritances.

In the world of martial arts, there are many techniques and Secret Manual that require another technique as a foundation; otherwise, at best, one's vital energy will be damaged, and at worst, one will suffer from Going into demonic possession.

As for whether Shentu Nantian's Four Symbols Seal failure was due to interference, Granny Thousand Hands never considered that. At the Savage Heaven Technique Tea Party, with so many experts and countless eyes and spiritual forces permeating the entire plaza, who could possibly bypass the senses of so many people and secretly strike?

While many elders of the Shentu Family were racking their brains to figure out the problem with the Four Symbols Seal, Yi Yun, the culprit, was attending a celebration party at the Lin family's Brocade Peak.

Actually, given Yi Yun's personality, he wasn't particularly interested in celebrations or banquets like these; he'd rather use that time to cultivate.

However, Su Jie had already made it clear that the Old Madam had pointed out that this celebration was held in preparation for the Savage Heaven Technique Tea Party, and Yi Yun was the protagonist of this banquet. If the protagonist did not attend, then the banquet would lose most of its meaning.

Yi Yun is new to the Lin family, so it's best to keep a low profile. The invitation was personally sent by the Old Madam; if Yi Yun doesn't accept it, people will inevitably criticize him for being arrogant and ungrateful.

Brocade Peak is not one of the eighteen main peaks of the Lin family, but a small mountain located on the outskirts of the main peaks. Brocade Peak is only about half the height of the eighteen main peaks, but it has many Spirit Spring and seas of flowers, which can be described as a brocade of flowers. Brocade Peak got its name from this.

Aside from some stewards and servants, no Lineage members usually reside on Brocade Peak. Whenever the Lin family has an internal banquet, it is always held on Brocade Peak.

At this moment, in the magnificent hall of the Brocade Palace halfway up Brocade Peak, hundreds of people were gathered. Among them, there were only a few elders of the Lin family; the rest were juniors of similar age to Yi Yun.

Among these elders were Yi Yun's nominal master Su Jie, and the Lin Family Old Matriarch.

The Old Madam leaned on a dragon-headed cane, her pale hair tied up in a bun adorned with a jade hairpin. At this moment, Old Madam looked at Yi Yun with a loving smile.

"Young friend Yun, welcome to the Lin family. Your master, Su Jie, is a guest elder of the Lin family. You can treat the Lin family as your own home and don't need to be reserved here."

The Old Madam uttered a simple sentence, and the younger generation around her secretly envied Yi Yun.

The Lin family had many descendants, and many of the direct descendants never had the chance to speak a single word to the Old Madam in their entire lives.

Now, at the Lin family's celebratory banquet, the Old Madam showed special favor to Yi Yun, making a special welcome speech for him. Such treatment naturally made them envious.

The treatment these direct descendants received was far inferior to that of Yi Yun, an outsider.

However, there's nothing that can be done about it; after all, Yi Yun possesses such terrifying talent in the Savage Heaven Technique.

"This junior thanks the Old Madam. I am overwhelmed by Old Madam kindness." Yi Yun humbly performed the junior's bow, and the Old Madam's smile grew even brighter, as if she was even more pleased with Yi Yun.

"This is a banquet for you young people, I, an old man, will not participate." The Old Madam only said a few words before turning to leave. "Xin Tong, you go and play with them."

The Old Madam turned her head and spoke to Lin Xin Tong behind her.

Lin Xin Tong was still wearing that spotless white dress today, but she had added a jade hairpin to her hair, which made her look less ethereal and more charming.

"Okay, let me help you out."

Lin Xin Tong smiled at Yi Yun and helped the Old Madam leave.

The celebration party officially began, and without the elders of the Lin family, the younger generation was more relaxed.

For the Lin family members, most of their time is spent cultivating. When they have free time, they are bound by many family rules and rarely have any celebrations.

This time, following the celebration party, many young men and women completely relaxed.

Yi Yun was undoubtedly the focus of attention.

"Senior Brother Yun, my name is Lin Caiyun. I'm also learning the Savage Heaven Technique, but after two years, I haven't made much progress. I can only barely refine the lowest-level relics." A girl of about fourteen or fifteen years old, with a petite figure and a pair of expressive eyes, stared intently at Yi Yun. "Senior Brother Yun, your Savage Heaven Technique is so powerful, is there some secret? If you have time, could you give me some pointers?"

"Well, I'm also a newbie to the Savage Heaven Technique. I'm still learning a lot of the theories, and I probably don't know as many techniques as you do."

After eating something, Yi Yun quickly discovered that he had suddenly become very popular with girls.

One girl after another approached Yi Yun, trying to strike up a conversation with him using various excuses.

Of course, the majority of the discussions focused on the Savage Heaven Technique.

The girl with big eyes had just left when a voluptuous and tall girl, about eighteen or nineteen years old, arrived.

"Hehe, little brother Yun, your Savage Heaven Technique is quite good! But martial artists still need some self-defense methods. Are you interested in learning swordsmanship? I can teach you!"

The girl's voice was soft and sweet, making people feel very comfortable.

Yi Yun felt somewhat helpless. He had been in this strange world for over two years and it seemed that no girl had ever taken the initiative to show interest in him. But today, five or six girls had come all at once.

"No need, I have no plans to learn swordsmanship from anyone else for the time being." Yi Yun could only refuse. In terms of swordsmanship, Yi Yun's attainments were extraordinary, so of course he had no intention of learning from anyone else.

"Junior Brother Yun."

Just then, a clear voice rang in Yi Yun's ears. Yi Yun turned his head and saw Lin Xin Tong, dressed in white, looking like a fairy in a painting.

After seeing the Old Madam off, she returned to the victory celebration.

As soon as Lin Xin Tong appeared, the girls surrounding Yi Yun immediately retreated.

Among the younger generation of the Lin family, Lin Xin Tong's status is extremely special.

Lin Xin Tong smiled slightly and whispered in her ear, "This celebration was originally intended to allow the younger generation to get to know each other. The Old Madam already intends to keep you in the Lin family."

"Huh?" Yi Yun was taken aback. He understood what Lin Xin Tong meant. So this celebration party was just a front; it would be more appropriate to call it a matchmaking event.

Yi Yun knew that with the talent and future prospects he was showing, he was a rare talent for the Lin family.

The Lin family's daughter was also willing to marry Yi Yun. Yi Yun himself was very handsome, and coupled with his outstanding talent, an excellent young man would naturally attract girls' favor.

Moreover, being able to unite with a Savage Heaven Master would make the path of martial arts smoother in the future, and there would be no shortage of various resources. In a large Lineage like the Lin family, the girls in the family are not as reserved and shy as the noble girls of the Tai'a Divine Kingdom. They will pursue whatever they want.

"The Old Madam probably wants to see you marry one of the young women in the Lineage. That way, the relationship will be more stable. Perhaps soon, a matchmaker will come to propose marriage for you. Sometimes, the Lineage members get married very late, but they get engaged very early."

Lin Xin Tong wore a half-smile, and it was impossible to tell what she was thinking.

Yi Yun rubbed his temples, somewhat speechless. This made sense; in the Tianyuan Realm, where Lineage were the main system of power, marriage was indeed a very reliable relationship.

"Hmm... there's one more thing." Lin Xin Tong suddenly changed the subject, her voice becoming slightly serious, "Although the Shentu Family suffered a major setback at this Savage Heaven Technique Tea Party,... the Lin family actually has even more elders supporting the Shentu Family..."

"Oh?" Yi Yun raised an eyebrow. This was not good news. If the Lin family and the Shentu Family really formed an alliance, regardless of Lin Xin Tong, Yi Yun's identity alone would not be able to be hidden forever.

Lin Xin Tong reminded Yi Yun, clearly because of this point.

In reality, the actual marriage between Lin Xin Tong might be a long time from now, but the alliance between the Lin family and the Shentu Family will be reached very soon.

This was certainly not what Yi Yun wanted to see.

"Is it because the Shentu Family has displayed many ancient Savage Heaven Technique?" Yi Yun asked. He knew that these ancient Savage Heaven Technique were indeed extremely tempting to the Lin family, especially if the Shentu Family was willing to share some with the Lin family, which would be an extremely generous offer!

"That's only a small part of the reason..." Lin Xin Tong gently. "The most important thing is that the Shentu Family finally agreed to refine a few relics from the Peerless Empress's ancient formula for me to try... Before this, the Shentu Family was unwilling to do this, because each relic from the ancient formula requires an extremely high cost."

Lin Xin Tong's words stunned Yi Yun. The Shentu Family was already capable of refining the relics from the ancient peerless empress's medicine room!?
