Following that, individuals from the five major families began to offer birthday wishes and present their gifts in turn.
The first was Han Haomin, the Family Head of the Han Family, who addressed Elder Situ saying, "Haomin wishes Elder Situ to have this day each year, and this morning every year. This Song Dynasty painting of ’A Hundred Birds Adoring the Phoenix’ is presented to Elder Situ, hoping you will like it."
Han Haomin brought out a famous Song Dynasty painting, ’A Hundred Birds Adoring the Phoenix,’ as a birthday gift and offered it, while Elder Situ nodded slightly in response.
"On behalf of the entire Qin Family, Tian Ming wishes Elder Situ wealth as vast as the East Sea and a life longer than the South Mountain," said Qin Tianming, the eldest son of the Qin Family, as he stood up and took out a porcelain piece worth tens of millions.
Then ca the Leng Family and the Jiang Family Heads, who each offered their blessings and presented invaluable gifts.
Finally, Mu Yunlong, the Family Head of the Mu Family, said a blessing to Elder Situ and took out an exquisitely wrapped brocade box, opening it.
"This millennium-aged Snow Lotus is a rare spiritual dicine treasured by our Mu Family, and I have specially brought it today as a birthday gift for Elder Situ."
As Mu Yunlong spoke, he opened the brocade box, and imdiately, a suprely cool aura washed over them, revealing a snow-white, crystal-clear Snow Lotus lying inside.
"Such strong spiritual energy!"
Ye Luo’s eyes in the courtyard instantly sharpened as he activated his Clairvoyant Eye and saw the millennium-aged Snow Lotus, his eyes flashing with a tinge of envy. This Snow Lotus was definitely a rare spiritual dicine, its spiritual energy incredibly dense.
Moreover, once refined into a dicine, its power would be even greater. Ye Luo had not expected the Mu Family to possess such a rare treasure, fitting for a family with a long heritage in the dical arts.
All those inside the main hall gazed at the millennium-aged Snow Lotus, their eyes showing a hint of astonishnt, clearly stunned by it. Everyone present, being practitioners of martial arts, could feel the dense spiritual energy within the Snow Lotus, which, if consud, would undoubtedly greatly enhance one’s own strength.
Elder Situ laughed heartily, evidently very pleased. Such a rare spiritual dicine was not often seen even in the Situ Family, and naturally, he was delighted to receive such a millennium-aged Snow Lotus.
"Thank you very much!" Situ Liuyun said with a smile, and then Situ Yunchao personally stepped forward to accept the millennium-aged Snow Lotus.
Afterward, it was naturally ti for the Ouyang Family and the Gongsun Family, also ancient martial arts families, to present their gifts. Both families had long heritages and deep-rooted family foundations.
The Ouyang Family brought out an equally millennium-aged dicinal herb, while the Gongsun Family presented a divine weapon, both of which were extraordinary items.
Following the outsiders’ congratulations, it was naturally the turn of the Situ Family’s own mbers to offer their birthday wishes and present their gifts.
An excellent opportunity like this to showcase oneself within the family saw mbers from both the side and main branches of the Situ Family presenting gifts they had racked their brains to procure.
These gifts were essentially worth millions, if not tens of millions, and Situ Ao gifted an exquisite jadeite he had obtained as a birthday present to his grandfather.
Although this exquisite jadeite was not the most precious among these gifts, Elder Situ was still very happy since it was from his grandson.
"Elder Situ, where is your eldest grandson Situ Wentian? I haven’t seen him around. Has he not returned yet?"
At that mont, Ouyang Zhenhua looked at Situ Liuyun and couldn’t help but ask.
"Situ Wentian has arrived!"
"Speak of Cao Cao and Cao Cao arrives," suddenly a loud and sonorous voice exploded within the Situ Family estate, and a figure slowly walked out from the courtyard.
This was a young man in his mid-twenties, dressed in a white robe, with sword-like eyebrows slanted into his temples, black hair hanging straight down, slender eyes containing a sharp glint, dium-thick lips, and a face with distinctly chiseled contours.
Tall and slender yet not appearing rough or wild, he was like an eagle in the night, carrying an air of aloofness and solitary pride that was also overwhelmingly domineering and arrogant.
As soon as the man appeared, he captured the attention of all the guests present. Many of the won looking at him felt srized; his face, his build, his aura – none failed to attract the feminine gaze.
Ye Luo’s eyes fixed on the man, his pupils narrowed slightly, flickering with sharpness.
This person was none other than the eldest son of the Situ Family Clan Leader Situ Yunchao, the Young Master of the Situ Family, Situ Wentian.
Situ Wentian entered the main hall directly and knelt on one knee, saying to Situ Liuyun, "Situ Family descendant Situ Wentian wishes Grandfather days as splendid as the sun and moon, longevity like pines and cranes!"
"Good, good, good, Wentian, get up quickly. Grandfather has not seen you for a long ti," responded Situ Liuyun with a full-faced smile looking at Situ Wentian.
Beside them, Situ Luoyun’s gaze locked onto Situ Wentian, her expression slightly stiffening as a touch of indifference flashed across her face.
"Grandfather, this Heart Nourishing Jade is my gift to you. The jade can warm and nourish the heart, dispel distracting thoughts, and purify the spirit. When you cultivate in the future, keeping it near will help your cultivation beco more efficient."
Situ Wentian took out a small box from his person and from inside, he extracted a piece of jade that was crystal clear and sparkling with radiant luster.
The mont Situ Liuyun held the Heart Nourishing Jade in his palm, he imdiately felt his entire body relax and his spirit instantly purified, experiencing an ethereal feeling as the True Qi within his body markedly increased.
"An excellent jade! A fine jade!" exclaid Situ Liuyun, laughing heartily, clearly very pleased with the Heart Nourishing Jade. At his side, Situ Yunchao’s mouth also revealed a satisfied smile.
"Elder sister, I wonder what birthday gift you have prepared for Grandfather?" subsequently, Situ Wentian’s eyes turned toward Situ Luoyun.
In a flash, the gaze of everyone from the Situ Family shifted toward Situ Luoyun.
They all knew that Situ Luoyun had always been engaged in a silent rivalry with Situ Wentian, never willing to admit defeat before him.
Clearly, on this occasion of the birthday celebration, Situ Luoyun would not pass up such an excellent opportunity to shine, so everyone speculated what her gift might be, wondering if it could surpass the Heart Nourishing Jade.
"Rest assured, my gift will certainly please Grandfather," said Situ Luoyun confidently.
"Luoyun, what birthday gift have you prepared for Grandfather?" Situ Liuyun also couldn’t help looking at his granddaughter curiously.
Following that, Situ Luoyun took out a dicine bottle from her bosom, opened it, and poured out the Revitalizing Pill that Ye Luo had given her earlier.
"What is this? An elixir?" The guests were sowhat astonished looking at the pill in Situ Luoyun’s hand, and the elder of the Mu Family, Mu Qingsong, fixed his gaze on the pill, his eyes revealing a hint of amazent.
"Luoyun, this is...?" Situ Liuyun looked at the elixir in Situ Luoyun’s hand with a puzzled gaze.
