Chapter 1732: Exposed Cultivation Base

As Lin Huang and Liu Fu chatted for a little bit, new guests soon arrived, so Liu Fu went over to greet them.

Lin Huang was alone again. He began to walk around with a glass of wine in his hand.

It was his first time in the universe. Apart from Liu Fu, he knew nobody else here.

He had only seen He Nanzhi once.

Not only that, he was a senior. It would be inappropriate if he went over to talk to him.

Approximately half an hour later, the banquet had finally officially begun as all of the guests Liu Fu invited seemed to have arrived.

When the star of the event, Liu Fu, got on stage, he began to tell the story of his “bumpy” road of cultivation to the crowd.

Clearly, there were many exaggerations in his descriptions. Even Lin Huang who was not familiar with his past could tell that some parts of his story had obvious signs of “embellishment”.

The people below the stage could not help but tease him a few times.

After all, many of the people present were familiar with his story. Some of them were even part of his story.

Lin Huang also noticed that there were actually not that many people who were invited to the banquet. There were about a hundred people or so.

Moreover, many of them were good friends with Liu Fu. Otherwise, they would not be teasing him over his elevation to dao-level.

If they were regular friends, they would definitely fear him after learning that he had been elevated to dao-level. They would not dare to speak like this.

Furthermore, judging by those friends’ reactions, Lin Huang could tell that Liu Fu was a friend that people valued.

He had heard of something that he thought made sense on Earth in the past.

In order to know a person’s true colors, do not look at what kind of house he lives in, the car he drives, or the clothes and watch that he wears. You should look at what kind of friends he is closest to. If something was wrong with the character of his friends, then there is a high chance that the person is not worth being friends with, because birds of a feather flock together.

Liu Fu did not mind their teasing. Instead, he proceeded to tell his story in a tone that was full of emotions. From him starting cultivation, to breaking through to dao-level, he had almost told his entire life story.

At first, everyone was a little bored by his story. However, since people began to tease him, they gradually found his story more and more interesting.

Close to two hours had passed by the time Liu Fu was done telling his story.

The emcee quickly moved on to the next agenda on the list after getting on stage.

Liu Fu’s story was too long. It had affected the flow he had arranged for the banquet.

Fortunately, guests like Lin Huang did not really mind that.

As the emcee continued facilitating the event, nothing went wrong with the banquet. Everything went smoothly.

Although the entire banquet was somewhat dramatic, it finally ended on a successful note.

Just as Lin Huang was thinking about how to return to the great world when the banquet ended, a voice traveled to his ears.

“Fellow Lin, please come over.”

Lin Huang was stunned. The voice belonged to Old He.

He turned around to look in He Nanzhi’s direction. The old man he called Old Wang was standing next to him. He was clearly a dao-level powerhouse.

Lin Huang did not ask further seeing that Old He had nodded slightly at him. He walked over directly.

“This is Wang Xuanan, whom I address as Old Wang,” Old He introduced, “This fellow is the Lin Huang that I mentioned just now.”

“Hello, Old Wang,” Lin Huang greeted immediately.

Old Wang looked even older than Old He. He was skinny with obvious wrinkles on his face.

If not for the fact that Lin Huang knew that he was a dao-level powerhouse as well, he might have thought that he was just a regular old man if he had bumped into him on the street.

Lin Huang was rather doubtful of his condition.

Theoretically, cultivators above true god-level would not look old unless they were close to the end of their lives.

Perhaps there were a small number of people who would maintain their old appearance.

He Nanzhi, for instance, was such a person.

However, nobody would show their full-blown aged appearance.

The reason being was that nobody liked such a appearance.

Therefore, Lin Huang guessed that there was a high chance that this person did not have a strange liking toward such an appearance, but that he was really near the end of his life.

However, that made Lin Huang even more doubtful. Theoretically, dao-level powerhouses who had broken through lord-level could live for a long time. It was nothing for them to live for tens of billions of years.

So how long exactly had this Old Wang lived for?!

As Lin Huang had such thoughts flying about in his head, Wang Xuanan was taking a good look at him.

Though his skin was old, his eyes were the only thing that were as clear as a newborn baby.

Only after checking Lin Huang out for a while, did he speak slowly, “This kid is quite something. He’s great.”

“What did you see?” Old He asked.

“Do you wish for me to die faster?” Old Wang said angrily, “I can’t be looking at people as I wish like before now.”

“You said that he’s great, so I thought that you probed into him.” Old He scratched his nose in embarrassment.

“Is there a need for probing? He merely used a small trick to conceal his cultivation base. You could sense the real strength of his aura as well.” Old Wang spoke a little too quickly, which caused him to cough twice.

Lin Huang, on the other hand, felt a little awkward. As expected, his concealment technique was useless in the presence of real powerhouses.

He could not help but feel humiliated, being exposed on the spot.

“Is there any reason why both seniors here are looking for me?” Lin Huang could not help but take the initiative to change the topic. He just wanted to avoid the awkward subject as soon as he could.

“There’s no rush. We’ll speak when everyone has gathered.” Just when Old He was about to explain things, Old Wang who was standing at the side took over the topic directly.

Feeling helpless, Lin Huang could only wait.

Old He might have been bored or something, so he began to chat with Lin Huang. “How many Dao seals have you consolidated now?”

“Over 3,100…” It would be terrible if he were to lie before the two of them since the truth of him being at dao-level had been exposed.

“So you’ve just broken through not too long ago,” Old He added casually.

“Yes,” Lin Huang responded. However, he secretly thought, ‘It’s not too long indeed. It has only been over half a year.’

Liu Fu brought two people along over to their awkward chat.

Lin Huang could sense that the two of them were at minor dao-level too.

The strength of their auras was slightly more powerful than Liu Fu’s, but that was about it.

Liu Fu was clearly a little confused to see Lin Huang there.

“Lin Huang? I thought you went back.”

“No. Old He was chatting with me.” Lin Huang felt rather speechless. He knew that Liu Fu was asking Old He about his presence through voice transmission.

The awkward silence went on for a moment. Liu Fu appeared to have learned about Lin Huang’s true combat strength from Old He, after which he looked over at Lin Huang with a shock-filled face. He yelled directly:

“You’ve been elevated to minor dao-level as well?!”

Lin Huang nodded helplessly.

“When did that happen?!” Liu Fu continued to ask further.

“Should be around the same time as you did.”

“Alright. You guys can chat in private regarding whatever you want to talk about later. Let’s talk business somewhere.” Old He interrupted Liu Fu instantly when he saw that he was unwilling to let go of Lin Huang.
