Chapter 2731: Chapter 2751: Could She Have Seen Through It?

The banquet was grand, and Lin Chen was very silent.

A table of people chatted enthusiastically, with Lan Qiangwei naturally being the center of attention. After all, her beauty and identity were extraordinary, ensuring she was sought after by many.

Lin Chen focused on eating and drinking, his demeanor natural.

Sect Master Cui Wenxuan had already gone from table to table to toast, staying for a short while at each to chat with everyone and have a drink.

Half an hour later, Cui Wenxuan came to Lin Chen’s table, glanced around, and his gaze settled on Lan Qiangwei’s face with a smile, "Fairy Lan’s presence brightens Gathering Immortal Island."

Lan Qiangwei clasped her hands in a salute, "I’ve seen Sect Master Cui!"

Cui Wenxuan smiled, "Sect Master Zhao and I have met several times and enjoyed our chats. How is he doing?"

Lan Qiangwei smiled, "The Sect Master is doing well, and he asked me to send his regards to you, Senior!"

"Good, we’ll talk more later."

Cui Wenxuan’s eyes swept over the rest, "Would you introduce me to these few distinguished guests?"

The handmaid standing behind everyone spoke one by one, introducing the names and origins of the people she served. Cui Wenxuan smiled and nodded in acknowledgment, even making a couple of comments here and there, patient and the epitome of a hospitable host.

"Lin Xi, a Loose Cultivator."

Cui Wenxuan nodded to Lin Chen without speaking a word; clearly, a Loose Cultivator did not warrant any special engagement from him.

"Come, let me toast everyone!"

After having a drink, Cui Wenxuan proceeded to the next table. The entire interaction was polite and uneventful.

Lin Chen quietly let out a sigh of relief. As the Island Master of Gathering Immortal Island, Cui Wenxuan’s strength was undeniably immense. Lin Chen had been worried about him seeing through his facade, but fortunately, using Divine Sense to probe other cultivators was seen as a provocation and very rude, which as a host, Cui Wenxuan would naturally not do to his guests.

After the banquet ended, Lin Chen and Guan Xia returned to their accommodations.

"Now that the banquet is over and the Master has come, is the Gathering of Immortals Meet almost at its end?"

Guan Xia replied, "If the guests have no further requests, the Gathering of Immortals Meet is pretty much completed. However, those who really come here generally have some needs or thoughts. Young Master, if you have any requests, you can tell me, and I will arrange a meeting for you."

Lin Chen nodded readily, "I want a Metal Attribute Exquisite Cultivation Technique."

Lin Chen had inquired about Cultivation Techniques before. Guan Xia was not surprised at all and only reminded him, "There definitely are Metal Attribute Exquisite Cultivation Techniques, but the value of an Exquisite Technique is extraordinarily high, and the price to pay is enormous..."

Lin Chen nodded, "I am prepared."

Guan Xia spoke directly, "Alright, Young Master, I will arrange it for you right away!"

Guan Xia swiftly sent out a message, and before long, a stream of Golden Light flew towards her, hovering in front of her.

After reading the message, Guan Xia looked up, "Later tonight, the Sect Master will personally meet with you."

Lin Chen’s eyes widened in surprise, "Isn’t there a specialized negotiation representative? Why do I need to see the Sect Master?"

Guan Xia replied, "Because the Metal Attribute Exquisite Technique you’re requesting is also extremely important to Gathering Immortal Island. Only the Sect Master has the authority to decide, so naturally, only the Sect Master can personally meet with you."

Lin Chen touched his nose, his expression somewhat hesitant, "Meeting with the Sect Master, I’m just a Loose Cultivator with no background; this makes me feel a bit uneasy."

Guan Xia smiled, "Don’t worry, as our guest, everyone on the island is treated equally. If the negotiation goes well, we sign a contract. If not, we simply don’t. There will be no coercion whatsoever."

"Okay!"

After waiting for nearly half a day, Lin Chen was still reading in his room when a knock on the door suddenly sounded.

"Young Master, the Sect Master has arrived."

Lin Chen felt a chill in his heart, put away the book, and walked out of the room.

He had thought he would be taken somewhere to see Cui Wenxuan, but to his surprise, Cui Wenxuan had come to him instead.

In the living room, Cui Wenxuan sat in a chair with two people standing behind him, his demeanor calm.

Lin Chen entered the living room and clasped his hands in salute, "Junior Lin Xi meets Sect Master Cui!"

Cui Wenxuan lifted his gaze and smiled slightly, "You want a Metal Attribute Exquisite Cultivation Technique?"

Being straightforward, Lin Chen also nodded directly, "Yes, may I know what will be the price I need to pay?"

Cui Wenxuan laughed, "What realm are you in?"

Lin Chen replied, "The Carp Dragon Realm."

One’s cultivation realm is not easy to hide once a fight breaks out. Moreover, hiding one’s strength could only make the other party undervalue oneself, potentially eliminating any chance of negotiations.

Guan Xia, who stood by the entrance, had her eyes light up as if she couldn’t believe it.

This Loose Cultivator claiming to have attained the Gathering Immortal Command by luck, actually possessed the strength of the Carp Dragon Realm?

Being so young and having reached the Carp Dragon Realm, each one was a gifted individual, usually the key figures nurtured by the Great Sects of the younger generation, like Lan Qiangwei, Zuo Dongxu, Gu Maduo.

After spending such a long time with him, how could she have not detected his formidable strength?

When Lan Qiangwei proactively spoke to recruit him into Lihaizong, did she perceive something?
