After Langya left, Lin Chen decided to stay in the Alchemist Association, absorbing pills and practicing.
With Langya intimidated, the Li family will definitely not dare to cause trouble again in a short time.
The Tiangang Body Strengthening Pill that Lin Chen personally refined was very effective. After absorbing its medicinal power, the spiritual power in his body increased rapidly.
In one day, Lin Chen's realm broke through to the fifth level of the spiritual sea.
Now that the medicine's power has only been partially absorbed, Lin Chen estimated that it would not be difficult to break through to the sixth level of the spiritual sea.
It's just that Lin Chen is not in a hurry to break through, but is consolidating the foundation.
In the evening, while Lin Chen was practicing, a woman came to look for her. She claimed to be sent by the eldest princess and invited Lin Chen to a banquet.
The Great Yu Dynasty Competition is about to begin in less than a month. Recently, the geniuses from all states have gathered in the imperial city.
The eldest princess held a grand banquet and invited the young talents of Dayu to the banquet.
Lin Chen was a little surprised.
It is said that those who participated in the Fenghua Banquet were all the famous and proud sons of Dayu.
Lin Chen had just arrived in the imperial city and was not well-known, but he received an invitation from the eldest princess.
The invitation was sent in the evening, and the Fenghua Banquet was about to begin that evening. Without an invitation in advance, it was most likely a temporary addition.
Before Lin Chen could decide whether to go or not, the joy bell on his body trembled slightly and started to move.
Lin Chen remembered that he had made an appointment to meet Liu Yanran, but was delayed due to matters involving the Li family.
"Brother Chen, the eldest princess Xia Qingyi is holding a glamor banquet tonight, will you go?" Liu Yanran's soft voice came.
"I haven't decided yet. Why, you want to participate too?" Lin Chen responded via voice message.
"Well, the eldest princess invites you, I can't refuse."
After Liu Yanran finished speaking, she waited for a while and saw no reply from Lin Chen, so she asked again: "Brother Chen, did you really kill Li Daoyuan?"
Li Wuji led his people to surround the Alchemist Association, and the incident caused quite a stir. Of course Liu Yanran heard about it.
She had always wondered why Li Daoyuan suddenly died suddenly. When she learned that Lin Chen might have killed him, she felt inexplicably warm in her heart.
Of course, she was also worried about Lin Chen's safety.
Liu Yanran felt relieved when she learned that the Alchemist Association was protecting Lin Chen and that a senior from the Lingtian Sword Sect stood up and suppressed the entire crowd.
"Guess." Lin Chen smiled.
"No guessing, Brother Chen, if you come to the banquet tonight, we can get together at the Lake Pavilion." Liu Yanran's voice was soft.
"good."
After Lin Chen finished speaking, he put down the happy bell and ended the chat.
Lin Chen had heard of the name of the eldest princess Xia Qingyi. This girl was known as Dayu's most prodigy and ranked first on the list of celebrities.
Even Murong Xiu was inferior compared to her.
…
At night.
Lin Chen walked out of Tianxiang Tower and headed to Huxin Pavilion.
The place where the Fenghua Banquet is held is at the Huxin Pavilion.
It is said that there is a lake named Jinxiu Lake in the middle of the lake pavilion with pleasant scenery.
The night view on Jinxiu Lake is extremely beautiful, and young men and women often meet to visit the lake.
Lin Chen came to the Huxin Pavilion and took out the invitation.
At this moment, the outside of the pavilion in the center of the lake was crowded with people. Many of them came to watch the fun and did not receive invitations.
If you want to enter the interior of Huxin Pavilion, you must have an invitation from the eldest princess.
On both sides of the pavilion in the center of the lake, there are imperial guards of Dayu, responsible for maintaining order.
The eldest princess is gifted with evil spirits and is very powerful in the royal family of Dayu. She can directly mobilize the imperial guards.
Seeing Lin Chen's invitation, the guards immediately let him go.
The outside of Huxin Pavilion is crowded, but there is still room inside.
A maid came over and took Lin Chen to the seat on the left.
Lin Chen saw Liu Yanran.
Today, she is wearing a light blue dress, with a radiant face, dark blue eyes, and a noble temperament.
Seeing Lin Chen approaching, Liu Yanran smiled and blinked.
"Brother Chen, sit here."
"good."
Lin Chen sat down on her right side.
There is no name on the seat, so you can sit on it casually.
However, many of the seats toward the front were empty.
Obviously, everyone had a tacit understanding in choosing their seats. The front seat was reserved for Dayu, the top monster.
Liu Yanran and Lin Chen's seats were relatively far back. Lin Chen didn't care anyway, he mainly wanted to meet Liu Yanran today.
Attending the Fenghua Banquet was just a side trip.
"Yanran, who is this?"
To Liu Yanran's left, a man with a scar suddenly spoke.
"My good friend, Lin Chen." Liu Yanran frowned slightly. She was talking to Lin Chen, but was interrupted, and she felt unhappy.
The person next to her is her cousin, named Liu Zhijie, who is the genius of the Liu family. Today, there are only two people from the Liu family invited to the Fenghua Banquet.
The relationship between Liu Yanran and Liu Zhijie is not good, and they have not had much interaction since childhood.
Liu Zhijie was too snobbish, and Liu Yanran didn't like it.
Liu Yanran didn't even introduce him to Lin Chen, which made Liu Zhijie look a little ugly.
"Is this Lin Chen who refined the top-quality elixir in the Alchemist Association?" Liu Zhijie had a provocative look in his eyes.
Lin Chen nodded and said nothing more.
"Young Master Lin's talent in alchemy is indeed good, but as martial artists, we still have to focus on martial arts, and alchemy is just a supplement." Liu Zhijie said with a strange expression.
"Everything you said is right." Lin Chen looked indifferent and was too lazy to talk nonsense to him.
Liu Zhijie snorted coldly, not knowing what to say for a moment.
Just then, a young man wearing a white robe and holding a folding fan came in. Liu Zhijie quickly stood up to greet him and chat with him.
"Brother Chen, he is Li Tianlong, the eldest son of the head of the Li family." Liu Yanran whispered in Lin Chen's ear.
Lin Chen was stunned, thinking that Li Wuji had so many sons.
He killed two of them, including his son!
Li Tianlong stepped forward, and when he passed by Lin Chen, a cold light suddenly burst out in his eyes, revealing his murderous intent.
His brother Li Daoyuan died tragically, and now it is basically certain that the murderer is Lin Chen.
Today at the Fenghua Banquet, the eldest princess invited Lin Chen. Li Wuji received the news, so he gave Li Tianlong instructions.
If there is a chance, just beat Lin Chen to death and maim him!
The Fenghua Banquet was actually the warm-up for the great competition of the Dayu Dynasty, where the geniuses of the major families and colleges collided and competed.
During the sparring process, it is normal to beat people to death and maim them.
"Boy, relying on the protection of your elders, what's the point of it!"
"With your strength, coming to the Fenghua Banquet is a compliment to you!"
Li Tianlong's eyes were cold and he did not hide his murderous intention towards Lin Chen.
Soon, Li Tianlong took the seat and took the first seat on the left.
This position was originally reserved for him.
Li Tianlong's talent is even more monstrous than that of Li Daoyuan, ranking fourth on the Dayu Ranking!
Lin Chen didn't speak, and kept his expression as usual.
Liu Yanran clenched her fists, feeling worried.
Li Tianlong is a young prodigy. If he challenges Lin Chen, it will be a competition among the younger generation. The peerless strongman of the Lingtian Sword Sect behind Lin Chen may not be able to interfere.
"don’t worry."
Lin Chen saw Liu Yanran's nervous expression and smiled softly.
"good."
Liu Yanran nodded, and there was a stream of autumn water in her beautiful dark blue eyes, which was beautiful and moving.
Next, geniuses entered the scene one after another.
A tall woman in red walked over and sat in the first seat on the right.
"Brother Chen, she is Chu Siqi, a saint from Dayu Academy, ranked fifth on the most popular list."
"I heard that she has a good relationship with Murong Xiu and is a follower of Murong Xiu. You should be careful about this girl." Liu Yanran said softly.
Lin Chen was not familiar with the genius of the Dayu Dynasty, and Liu Yanran was the one who introduced him.
Soon, the Huxin Pavilion was full.
There were fifty-three people in total, all young talents from the Yu Dynasty.
