The birthday celebration of the king of the Qin Empire officially began the next day. Jianchen was called out by Qin Ji very early in the morning, and the two of them left together to celebrate the birthday of the king of the Qin Empire.
Today, the Imperial Palace was especially lively. Many high-ranking nobles and members of the Imperial Family were all dressed up and brought birthday gifts. Accompanying them were the leaders of the various major powers in the Qinhuang Kingdom. In short, anyone who could enter the Qinhuang Kingdom's Imperial Palace was not a simple person.
The Qin Empire was extremely powerful. It was an existence only second to the three great empires on the continent. Even with the entire continent in perspective, the Qin Empire could be regarded as a peak empire. As a result, aside from the various organizations in the empire, the people who came to celebrate the birthday of the king of the Qin Empire were all people of great statuses. They were either princesses or ministers of the empire. There were even a few Imperial Advisors who had personally come.
Jianchen followed behind Qin Ji and arrived at an extremely large hall. When they arrived, there were already over a thousand people gathered there. They were all dressed in luxurious clothes and possessed extraordinary bearings. They were all people who could be seen in public.
Groups of palace maids in palace attire carried stacks of snacks as they walked in and out of the hall. They served every esteemed guest politely.
"Greetings to your highness!"
"Greetings to your highness!"
…
Quite a few people immediately bowed or clasped their hands in greeting when they saw Qin Ji enter. They were either extremely respectful or filled with enthusiasm.
Facing these people, Qin Ji returned their greetings with a warm smile. His attitude was easy-going and respectful. He didn't have the air of a prince at all.
Jianchen followed behind Qin Ji with half his body. He liked to keep a low profile, so he did not want to become the center of attention. Unless he had no other choice, he would not show off.
Naturally, many of the nobles in the hall noticed Jianchen. Some of them only thought that Jianchen was Qin Ji's follower and didn't pay much attention to him. However, the other group of people were more insightful. They could see that Jianchen had an extraordinary bearing. He was neither servile nor overbearing when facing the crowd. He always looked at them with a calm and emotionless gaze. His every movement carried the demeanor of an expert. Although he was young, he gave people a feeling that he was as steady as a mountain. Moreover, some people who were not weak even faintly felt a pressure from Jianchen's body. Their faces immediately revealed a look of horror.
"Strange, why do I feel that the person beside His Highness the Third Prince looks familiar? I feel like I've seen him somewhere before." A middle-aged man in a gorgeous robe with a resolute face stared suspiciously at Jianchen, frowning as he muttered to himself.
He wasn't the only one who felt this way. Many people in the hall felt that Jianchen looked familiar, but at the same time, they felt a little unfamiliar. However, they couldn't remember where they had seen him before.
"Brother Jianchen, you should find a place to rest first. I still have to attend to the guests." At this time, Qin Ji said apologetically to Jianchen.
Today was his father's fiftieth birthday. As the ruler of the Qin Empire, he naturally wouldn't personally attend to these people. Moreover, the people who had come this time were all people of high status and power. There were even envoys from neighboring countries, so naturally, he couldn't let ordinary people take care of these people. His Majesty's sons and daughters were in charge.
Moreover, this kind of gathering was a great opportunity for the princes of the Qin Empire to form factions. They could use this opportunity to build a solid foundation for their future struggle for the throne.
Jianchen was no longer a child who didn't understand anything. He naturally understood how important this kind of gathering was to the Third Prince Qin Ji, so he very understandingly separated from Qin Ji. Then, he took some delicious snacks and walked to an inconspicuous corner to sit down. He slowly enjoyed these delicious snacks that could only be eaten in the palace.
At this time, a middle-aged man in a blue robe came to Jianchen's side and sat down. He looked at Jianchen who was engrossed in eating the snacks with a smile on his face and said, "This little brother, have we met somewhere before?"
Jianchen raised his head to look at the middle-aged man, but he didn't have the slightest impression of him. He shook his head and said, "You must have seen wrongly, or you may have met someone who looks a bit like me."
Hearing this, the middle-aged man nodded his head and said, "Perhaps. Right, I am Tie Mu Zhuang. What is this little brother's name?"
Jianchen chuckled and said, "This little one is just a nobody. I'm not from the Qin Empire. I'm afraid you won't recognize me even if I tell you, so there's no need to mention it." Jianchen had just finished eating the snacks on his plate. He picked up the plate and left, going to the table in the center of the hall to take another one.
After Jian Chen left, Tie Mu Zhuang frowned in thought. He muttered, "An unknown nobody? Is that really so? Why do I feel like I've seen you somewhere before? "After thinking for a while, Tie Mu Zhuang couldn't find the answer, so he left in boredom.
"His Majesty the King has arrived!"
At this moment, a long and loud voice suddenly rang out. Following this voice, the noisy hall suddenly became silent. At this moment, everyone couldn't help but turn their heads to look at the front of the hall.
They saw a dignified middle-aged man wearing a purple and gold dragon robe, accompanied by a white-haired old man with a ruddy complexion, slowly walk out.
The King of the Qin Empire was just 50 years old, but on the surface, he looked like he was only 40 years old. His face was ruddy and full of spirit, and his eyes were bright and full of spirit, flashing with the light of wisdom. The King of the Qin Empire had a total of 12 children, seven princes and five princesses. The oldest was already more than 30 years old, and the youngest was not even 6 years old. At this moment, all 13 of his children were following behind him.
"Greetings, Your Majesty. May Your Majesty live a long life and lead the Qin Empire to greater prosperity and strength!"
Everyone in the hall shouted in unison. Living a long life was the highest lifespan on the Tian Yuan Continent. Normally, only the King of a country could enjoy such a title.
This was because a thousand years was the lifespan of a Heaven Saint Master. Saint Rulers and even Saint Kings, who were above Heaven Saint Masters, could not live past ten thousand years. They were all in the 'thousand' number.
Next, everyone presented their carefully prepared birthday gifts. Without exception, all of the gifts were priceless. There were even some precious items that were beyond the value of money. In addition, there were many ancient antique ceramics that were incomparably valuable. There were also many heavenly resources that were more than ten thousand years old, but they were all at least ten thousand years old.
When most of the people had presented their gifts, a purple and gold jade box appeared in Jianchen's hand. He then held it with both hands and strode forward. He clasped his hands at the King of the Qin Empire and smiled, "Inside this box is a Class 8 Radiant Spirit Pill. I've specially come to present it to Your Majesty to congratulate Your Majesty on Your Majesty's birthday." Jianchen was much more concise and did not use any fancy words.
"A Class 8 Radiant Spirit Pill? I heard that only Class 7 Radiant Saint Masters can create such a pill. It's truly a panacea for healing. Not only can it purge the body of all poisons, but it can also save people from dying."
"Class 8 Radiant Spirit Pills are extremely rare on the Tian Yuan Continent. They're life-saving treasures that even hermits covet. They're life-saving treasures."
… …
A few of the more experienced people in the hall began to sigh in amazement when they heard that it was a Class 8 Radiant Spirit Pill. They all stared at the box in Jianchen's hand with shining eyes because Radiant Spirit Pills of such a high level were basically extinct on the Tian Yuan Continent. Not only was it because Class 7 Radiant Saint Masters who could create such pills were as rare as phoenix feathers, but it also required a tremendous amount of effort to create such pills.
The appearance of the Class 8 Radiant Spirit Pill had even moved the king. As the ruler of an empire, it was not difficult for him to obtain all sorts of heavenly resources and wondrous treasures. However, the significance of the Class 8 Radiant Spirit Pill was completely different. This was because it could be used to save lives. If used properly, its value would be immeasurable.
The king signaled with his eyes and a white-robed old man immediately walked out of the crowd. He accepted the box in Jianchen's hand and poured out a thumb-sized pill from a white jade bottle to examine it.
The old man was a Radiant Saint Master, so he could clearly sense the extremely dense Radiant Saint Force within the pill. After confirming that there was no mistake, the old man beamed with joy. He carefully placed the pill back into the bottle before clasping his hands at the king, "Your majesty, this is indeed a Class 8 Radiant Spirit Pill." The old man was extremely excited because such a high level pill was just far too rare.
Qin Ji glanced at Jianchen gratefully from behind the king. He knew extremely well just how valuable a Class 8 Radiant Spirit Pill was, yet Jianchen was actually willing to give something so valuable to the king as a birthday gift. The significance of this was so great that even Qin Ji felt proud.
The gazes of the other princes who did not know Jianchen's background changed slightly as well. They all smiled and nodded at Jianchen in a friendly manner. A Class 8 Radiant Spirit Pill was not something that just anyone could take out. Jianchen's unintentional actions proved his identity without a doubt.
The king immediately laughed heartily after hearing the old man's confirmation. Even the way he looked at Jianchen changed. He asked amiably, "Brother, you have an extraordinary bearing. I can tell with a single glance that you're a dragon among men. May I ask which family's young master you are to be willing to offer such a precious gift? You really make me feel ashamed."
"Father, he's Jianchen. He's a friend I've made outside," Qin Ji said politely from behind the king before Jianchen could reply.
As soon as Qin Ji finished speaking, a few cries rang out from the crowd.
"Jianchen. I never thought that he would be Jianchen. No wonder I found him to be a little familiar."
"Is he the Jianchen who won first place in this year's Mercenary Tournament? His strength is comparable to a Heaven Saint Master. No wonder I felt like I'd seen him somewhere before. So it's him. "
"I remember now. He's the Jianchen who won the title of Mercenary King. I saw him in the tournament. No wonder I found him to be a little familiar. It's because he's missing his hair and eyebrows. I actually failed to recognize him immediately."
