The Ethereal Fruit was quite famous in the Federation. It was said to be a miraculous fruit. Although it was not as good as the legendary Immortal Peach, it was still extremely nourishing for cultivators. This was especially true for mortals. If they could eat this fruit, it would make their body healthy. Not only would the hidden dangers disappear, but it would also extend their lifespan.
Moreover, this fruit had mild effects and could be consumed even by infants.
It was a pity that this fruit could not be used as medicine and could not be preserved for long after it was plucked. It had to be eaten within three days.
As for the origin of this Ethereal Fruit, it originated from an Ethereal Tree. This tree might have another name … Great Holly Tree!
Of course, there were still some differences between this Ethereal Tree and the Great Spring Tree in the legends. This Ethereal Tree only possessed some of the characteristics of longevity.
It was a fortuitous encounter of Ethereal City's City Lord, Lin You, in his early years. He found an undying withered branch on Mars and brought it back to Ethereal City. After careful nurturing, it grew to a size of a thousand feet ten years ago and produced the first batch of Ethereal Fruits.
Although this fruit had extraordinary effects, it did not bear fruit for a certain period of time. It had only appeared three times since he started nurturing it. This was the fourth time …
However, in the eyes of Ethereal City's City Lord, Lin You, although the Ethereal Fruit was good, it was just an external object. Compared to his connections, this object was dispensable. Therefore, he had sent out invitations to the young talents of the Federation to Ethereal City for the past few times to share the fruit.
On one hand, he wanted to strengthen his relationship with the fathers of these talents. On the other hand, he wanted to make friends with them and leave behind some favors.
This method seemed simple, but it was definitely not something an ordinary person could do. After all, this fruit was useful even to Foundation Establishment Cultivators. However, he gave it away directly.
From this, one could see Lin You's breadth of mind and structure. After all, as one of the members of the Federation's parliament and the City Lord of a city, he was naturally extraordinary in his treatment of others.
Compared to him, his son, Lin Tianhao, was clearly too different …
"Hao 'er, you will host the Ethereal Fruit Banquet this time," Lin You said calmly as he turned to look at his son under the Ethereal Tree in the Ethereal City's City Lord Manor.
Lin Tianhao had always respected his father. Although he was a little reluctant to give away the Ethereal Fruits, he still nodded his head solemnly.
Looking at Lin Tianhao, a smile slowly appeared on Lin You's face. He was well aware of his child's personality. In fact, to a certain extent, he was grateful to Wang Baole.
After all, after entering Ethereal Dao College's Upper Academy Island, Lin You had experienced a few setbacks and had clearly matured a lot. This made Lin You feel a little relieved.
"Don't be reluctant. This is a society of favors. The importance of connections is beyond your imagination. As your father, I don't need these good karma anymore. Therefore, this good karma will be given out by you."
"I understand, Father," Lin Tianhao took a deep breath and said softly.
"This time, I will focus on inviting the sons of the other City Lords and Councilors, as well as the elites of the four Dao Colleges. There will also be people from the Five Generation Sky Clan. As for the two major sects and the Three Moon Group, I don't have close ties with them. It's fine if they don't come. But if they do, you must receive them well." After giving a few instructions, Lin You lifted his head to look at the Ethereal Tree that was bearing a large number of fruits. He seemed to recall something and added casually.
"Also, I have also invited some elites from Ethereal Dao College. Wang Baole is one of them."
Upon hearing Wang Baole's name, Lin Tianhao fell silent for a moment. If it had been in the past, he would have objected. Even if he didn't voice his displeasure, he would still be inwardly annoyed. But now … after going against Wang Baole a few times, he had lost all strength in his heart. He remained silent for a few moments before nodding his head in obedience.
"The conflict between him and me was due to my immaturity and hot-headedness. I'm sorry for making you worry, Father."
The moment he said that, Lin You turned his head abruptly and stared at Lin Tianhao for a long time. Slowly, a smile appeared on his face. It grew wider and wider until he finally burst out laughing.
It was a smile that was full of contentment and joy. In Lin Tianhao's memory, this was the first time his father had shown such joy in front of him.
"Good, Hao 'er, you've grown up!" Lin You laughed heartily. He seemed to have relaxed a lot all of a sudden. He walked up to Lin Tianhao and patted him on the shoulder. When he turned to leave, he clearly felt extremely gratified.
Lin Tianhao stood in the same spot as he watched his father leave. After a long while, he shook his head and smiled, muttering to himself.
"It's not entirely because I've grown up. It's because that Wang Baole … I can't afford to offend him."
The Ethereal Fruit Feast was set to be held three days later at the Ethereal City's City Lord residence.
Soon, the invitations were sent out to all the political forces within the Federation. However, just as Lin You had predicted, no one from the two major sects would be coming. The Three Moon Group had also declined the invitation.
Only the Five Generation Sky Clan, who had a personal relationship with Lin You, accepted the invitation gladly.
This outcome was within Lin You's expectations. After all, most of his connections were in the Federation's Senate and the four Dao Colleges. The children of the other sixteen Senators had all accepted his invitation. The same went for the four Dao Colleges. Various young talents boarded the cruisers and flew towards Ethereal City.
Zhuo Yifan, Wang Baole, Zhao Yameng, a few other seedlings of the Federation, and almost all the reputable disciples of the Upper Academy Island were on the list of invitees.
Wang Baole had no intention of turning down the invitation. In fact, he was very pleased.
This Senator Lin is indeed a remarkable person. He can tell how outstanding I am. It's just a pity that his son isn't so good. Wang Baole patted his tummy in satisfaction. To him, it wasn't a bad idea to freeload. Especially since the Ethereal Fruit was extraordinary. After doing some research, Wang Baole felt that the fruit was more suitable for his parents.
Just like that, after coming to a decision, Wang Baole contacted Zhuo Yifan and Zhao Yameng. The three of them planned to attend the feast together.
Three days passed in a flash. The day of the Ethereal Fruit Feast arrived. Ethereal City was bustling with noise and excitement. Every citizen of Ethereal City knew about the Ethereal Fruit Feast. They even saw the luxurious cruisers whizzing through the air towards the City Lord's residence!
These cruisers were really … too extravagant!!
One of them was made of black gold and shaped like a scimitar. It exuded a sharp aura and had a sci-fi feel to it. It didn't seem like a product of this era. Not only was it fast, but it also had an awe-inspiring aura.
This kind of cruiser was no longer mass-produced. It was a custom-made cruiser that could only be made by a master. Be it in terms of value or performance, it far exceeded the cruisers that could be seen on the market.
That wasn't all. There was another cruiser that was even more exaggerated. It was a huge metal head. It had a green face, sharp fangs, and a single horn on its head. It whizzed through the air and didn't look like a cruiser at first glance. It looked more like a ferocious beast.
The pressure and speed it exuded, as well as its structure, all caused the hearts of those who saw it to tremble.
Cruisers like this came from all directions on this day, causing the citizens of Ethereal City to exclaim in shock again and again.
"Oh my god, I've seen this leaf-shaped cruiser before on the Spirit Intranet!! It's so valuable that it's enough to buy a bungalow in the capital city!! All the money I've earned in my life is only enough to buy one door!! "
"Look at that … Is that a flying supercar made of Spirit Stones?"
"I'm on my knees …"
As the citizens of Ethereal City exclaimed one after another, those luxurious cruisers of different shapes and sizes, all of which were priceless, gathered at the Ethereal City Governor's Mansion. As they landed, men and women walked out of the cruisers. Without exception, all of them were dressed very luxuriously. Their expressions were bright, and they exuded an aura of nobility that surpassed that of ordinary people.
They were the children of the other Senators of the Federation. They obviously knew Lin Tianhao and started chatting and laughing as soon as they met.
"Young Master Lin, thank you for the invitation."
"Haha, Brother Sun, you've changed cruisers again. I saw this cruiser at the Three Moon Group's press conference. There are only ten cruisers in the entire Federation. I didn't expect you to buy one of them."
"Not one, I bought all of them."
They chatted and laughed. They didn't seem to care about their cruisers at all. In fact, they were all secretly comparing their cruisers.
Because of their extravagant cruisers, the atmosphere of the Ethereal Fruit Banquet gradually changed. It seemed to have become a trip to show off one's wealth.
Amidst the bustle in the City Governor's Mansion and Lin Tianhao's welcoming, the people from the Five Generation Sky Clan arrived as well. The cruiser they arrived in immediately attracted the attention of the wealthy and proud sons of Ethereal City.
It was a …
