Gate of Immortality

Chapter 267: Gifts

The crowd was stunned after looking at the gift from Yue Wuji. A Vitality Tree of Five thousand years is very hard to find. Moreover, this treasure was something that even Violet Palace Expansion Realm cultivator sought after.

" Brother Yue, Thanks for such a precious gift." Zhao Hao nodded lightly as he passed the box to Shao Zhu next to him. Although he smiled politely, his expression didn't change much.

After Yue Wuji, one after another, people surged to give their gifts to Zhao Hao. Yang Shi could only sigh in envy as he saw countless treasures appear before Zhao Hao.

" Tang Zheng of Golden Sun Sect greets the Second Prince. Prince Hao, this is Burning Sun Jade, a product of our Golden Sun Sect." A young man stood proudly as he handed a box to Yue Wuji.

" Hiss, Isn't that a Burning Sun Jade! Its size is so big."

" I heard that Burning Sun Jade can be used as an Array formation core."

" Array Formation? It can be even used as fuel in Flying Treasures."

The crowd discussed as they saw a brightly golden colored stone in the box. Zhao Hao nodded as he smiled. " Thank you for this gift, Brother Tang."

Although it seems that Prince Hao was appreciating the gifts, Yang Shi could feel that he didn't like any of them. Well, The Royal Clan isn't poor. The Second Prince might have seen even more precious treasures before.

" The Second Prince isn't someone who lacks riches. Getting his grace is very difficult." Mo Yi chuckled.

" I thought you didn't care about the affairs of Royal Clan?" Yang Shi raised his brows.

" It's not about them. The gift also shows the status of the person and the powerhouse behind them. Moreover, it also shows their stands."

" Since the Royal Martial Tournament is nearing, many people were trying to get into camps of either First prince or Second prince." Mo Yi explained.

" What about Mo clan?" Yang Shi asked curiously.

" Although the clans are trying to remain neutral, Yue Clan and the Golden Sun Sect are inclined toward Second Prince. Huang Clan is more typically in the support of the First Prince." Mo Yi said.

" Choosing aside isn't easy at all. Do you know, what will happen if the person we support loses in the battle of the throne?

" Not only him, but his supporters will also face terrible consequences after the new king ascends to the throne. So we will think after the matter of Mysterious Spirit Realm closes." Mo Yi sighed.

" Eh, Manager Yang, Brother Mo Yi. To think you are here." A burst of laughter came as Xu Ming appeared.

" Isn't it is fifth Young Master Xu Ming. Haha, I heard that you already mastered your Mystic grade battle technique? How about we test it?" Mo Yi's eyes shone as he spoke.

" Aiiz, Brother Mo is surely an impulsive person. It's the birthday party of Second Prince, and you are already talking about battle." Xu Ming laughed.

" Hoho! I don't think His Highness Prince Zhao Hao will restrict us." Mo Yi laughed loudly, attracting everyone's attention.

" Prince Hao, This Xu Ming prays for the wealth and prosperity of the second Prince. This small gift, please accept it." Xu Ming ignored Mo Yi as he spoke to Zhao Hao.

" This painting is called Endless Mountain Roads, created by the famous ancestor of the Dao Instruction Pagoda."

" It is said that the ancestor of the Dao Instruction Pagoda had sealed the profundities of Heaven and Earth in this painting. Just by looking at it, one's soul gets calm and collected." Xu Ming spoke.

" Indeed, The ancestor was a famous painter. His paintings were hard to come by." Zhao Hao praised as he looked at the painting.

The painting looked ethereal. The distant mountain was covered by clouds, which appeared to be moving. Tall trees covered both sides of the dirt road. 

The sunlight was scattered by their dense leaves. Just by looking at it, one could feel their body relaxing.

" Holy! Is it truly the original Endless Mountain Road painting?!"

" Indeed. I can feel that my cultivation bottleneck is already losing after looking at it."

" I heard that it can increase the soul strength of Violet Palace Expansion Realm expert."

The crowd fell into the discussion as Mo Yi already strode forwards. He bowed and greeted Zhao Hao.

" Eh? Aren't you the little brother of Brother Xiaowen? Is he not coming today?" Zhao Hao asked.

" Errm, Elder brother went to visit Your Highness First Prince." Mo Yi smiled awkwardly.

" Haha, No harm. It seems Elder brother and Brother Xiaowen will come together." Zhao Hao chuckled.

" Prince Hao, this is a stalk of thousand year old Blue Cloud Grass. It can be refined into Violet Essence Pill. Please accept it." Mo Yi spoke.

" Ah, To think Mo clan had such precious herb. I must thank brother Mo." Zhao Hao laughed.

" Hehe, Prince Hao, as I was saying, don't you feel this party is very bland? Since disciples of all factions are here, why not have a friendly sparring match?" Mo Yi rubbed his palms.

" What Junior brother said is true. Don't worry, I have already prepared the duel stage beforehand. You can ask anyone to spar if they were willing." Zhao Hao nodded.

As he was about to leave, Shao Zhu suddenly spoke, " Ah, I didn't expect that Young master Yang also came here."

" Curses." Yang Shi almost broke the wine glass as he heard Shao Zhu. Zhao Hao suddenly turned as he looked at Yang Shi.

" Sister Ruxue didn't come?" Shao Zhu smiled as she asked. But Yang Shi could see the cold smile hiding behind it.

  " No, she wasn't feeling well." Yang Shi spoke directly. He couldn't help but glare at her.

" Ah, You are Master blacksmith Yang Shi. Becoming a Master grade blacksmith at such young age, is truly marvelous." Zhao Hao spoke lightly.

" It's nothing praiseworthy." Yang Shi shook his head. " How can I compare to the Second Prince."

" Haha, Brother Yang, you are being overly humble." Zhao Hao chuckled. Suddenly, everyone turned silent as they looked at Yang Shi.

" Uhh." Yang Shi blinked his eyes as he didn't understand anything.

" Brother Yang, are you not going to give any gift to Second Prince?" Mo Yi spoke in Yang Shi's ears.

" I didn't bring anything." Yang Shi said in a hushed voice.

Mo Yi didn't believe what Yang Shi said. " Holy [email protected]! Brother Yang, Did you eat the guts from a tiger?" Mo Yi almost shouted.

" Master Yang Shi's True Treasure Hall is getting more and more popular. I wonder if Brother Yang can also make something for me?" Zhao Hao chuckled.

" Prince Hao must be joking. There are even Grandmaster blacksmiths in the Royal Palace. How can I brag about forging something for you?" Yang Shi instantly denied it.

" Hehe, Master Yang is being too modest. I am sure you must have bought a nice gift for His Highness." Shao Zhu cut it.

" This Bitch!" Yang Shi wished he could slap Shao Zhu to death.

Yang Shi's mind raced as he could understand the ploy of Shao Zhu. It seemed that she held some grudges from the last time. But he was tense as he truly didn't bring any gift.

But before he could answer, another party entered the Palace.

" Elder Brother Hao, Forgive me for being late.." A young voice spoke.
