If the life-enhancing bamboo leaves were used directly, the increase in Vitality Points would be random, with a maximum gain of only one hundred points. Song Jian had taken them several times, but only once did he achieve a hundred-point increase; the Vitality Points gained during the other times were not significant;

“An individual can only consume five of these bamboo leaves; any more than that won’t work, as it won’t increase Vitality Points and can even result in poisoning!” Song Jian said;

“Treasures, treasures, indeed such fine treasures!” Several of the Demon Kings sitting in the front row exclaimed with faces full of envy;

Upon hearing the contents of Song Jian’s gift list, Lady Xuan Yue’s expression finally improved somewhat. She glanced at Song Jian and suddenly asked, “Didn’t you mention that there is an egg of the Flame Crow Beast? Why didn’t I hear about this in the gift list?”

“Mother, he’s already given you so many valuable treasures, how can you still not be satisfied!” Lan Ling stamped her foot and said;

Lady Xuan Yue: “…This silly girl, if she stays with this human for much longer, I’m afraid she won’t even recognize her own mother.”

“The lady jests. That Flame Crow Beast egg was originally a trophy from when Lan Ling and I together defeated a lord-tier BOSS, the Three-legged Flame Crow Beast!” Song Jian laughed: “That’s Lan Ling’s spoils, how could I take her things to offer as a birthday gift?”

As he spoke, Song Jian took an exquisite wooden box out of his bag and handed it to Lan Ling;

“For me?” Lan Ling, with a puzzled expression, instinctively reached out and took the box, but soon she seemed to remember something and hastily handed it back, saying, “This is your loot from the battle; you killed the Flame Crow Beast on your own. I’ve already received its tail feathers; how can I ask for this pet egg, too?”

“It’s a gift for you!” Song Jian laughed;

Lan Ling was momentarily stunned, then her cheeks flushed red. Holding the wooden box, she glanced at Song Jian before turning and walking towards the inner chambers;

Watching Lan Ling’s retreating figure, Lady Xuan Yue let out a sigh from within her heart, giving Song Jian a gentle nod and smiling, “You’ve really spared no expense this time!”

“As I should!” Song Jian smiled as he returned the gesture with a slight bow and went back to his seat;

Once Lady Xuan Yue had acknowledged Song Jian’s seating position, no one else stood up to object, and the banquet proceeded as scheduled. Soon, servers brought dishes and drinks to each table;

Only then did Song Jian realize why so many Demon Kings were dissatisfied with him sitting there—it turned out that the quality of the food and drinks also correlated with one’s seat at the banquet;

The closer to Lady Xuan Yue’s seat, the better the quality of the dishes and drinks. Song Jian and the two or three Demon Kings with second-tier Combat Power had the same quality of food and drinks;

Those seated further back had to settle for a lower grade, and beyond that, the quality continued to drop, until at the very back, it was just ordinary food and drink;

“This, food that can permanently increase agility, and drinks that can permanently raise mental capacity?” Song Jian stared at the dishes in front of him, stunned;

These dishes were far more precious than the life-enhancing bamboo leaves and came with a limit of one serving per person, any more would be ineffective. This one table of food and drinks ended up increasing Song Jian’s attribute by over a dozen points;

Wang Yuetu and the others watched Song Jian relish his meal with eyes dripping with envy;

“Damn it, a Dark Gold Quality weapon just for three dishes that increase strength by one point, what a loss!” The young man beside Wang Yuetu muttered;

“If you don’t want it, give it to me; isn’t a point of strength still an attribute?” the man beside him said with discontent, “Don’t take dry food for granted!”

“Who says I’m not eating!” the youth hurriedly shoveled the plate of food in front of him into his mouth;

“You see that guy, after this longevity feast, I bet he could gain at least a dozen stat points, what a big win, right?” Wang Yuetu whispered;

“He’s got a lot of stuff too, all those materials from sovereign-level BOSSes, plus all those precious herbs and treasures. By the way, do you guys know what a sovereign-level BOSS is? I’ve never come across one of that tier before.”

“Who knows, probably about as powerful as those Great Monster Kings, I guess. These Monster Kings next to us are, at best, equivalent to a lord-level BOSS…”

“Right, do you think he still has any Emerald Bamboo Leaves? That’s some good stuff that can directly increase Vitality Points. A person can consume five leaves, and even if it only adds a minimum of thirty points, that’s one hundred and fifty Vitality Points with five leaves!” the youth said in a low voice;

“Given that he’s produced so much, he should still have a good stock left. Let’s try later to see if we can buy some from him!”

“We did stir up a Monster King against him just now, do you think he holds a grudge?”

“Hmph, he shouldn’t have noticed our maneuver!” Wang Yuetu narrowed her eyes and whispered, “Later, you two leave the banquet early to gather the brothers from our combat alliance. If he’s willing to sell to us, fine, but if not, hmph, let him know that this is the Demon Clan’s turf. A human like him coming here to compete with us for goodies — he’s got to pay the price!”

“Big sister head, that guy is so tough, can we even beat him?” the man next to her hesitated;

“Beat him? We have over a hundred people, we can pile on and crush him to death. How could we not beat him?” Wang Yuetu glared and said, “Besides, we don’t need to fight him. Just standing in front of him with so many people will scare him to death. Do we even need to make a move?”

“Big sister head is right, no matter how tough he is, we have more people, and this is our Demon Clan’s territory. How could we let a human swagger around here like this!”

…

The banquet continued from morning until evening. Song Jian ate to his heart’s content. Although not every dish increased stat attributes, the flavors were exceptional, unlike anything available on the outside;

Song Jian ate to his heart’s content, gaining some value in various stat attributes. In total, it was equivalent to gaining seventeen or eighteen stat points, which felt like he was getting his money’s worth;

Just then, several attendants carried up something resembling a roast whole sheep and placed it in front of Song Jian’s table;

“Yuxiu Gourmet Feast: A delicacy, consumable, effect upon use: consuming this item will grant a large amount of combat experience;”

“What is this food?” Song Jian looked at the delicately fragrant food before him, unable to help but look around;

“Hahaha, this is a special food from the Xuanyue Cave. The Great Monster King came just for this gourmet banquet, and it has not disappointed!” A Demon King with second-tier peak strength laughed heartily, grabbed the food the size of a lamb, and tore into it voraciously;

This dish seemed extremely precious; of the nearly hundred guests at the feast, only three or four were able to partake in this dish;
