MTLNOVEL Chapter 271: Starry Sky Gala
The Starry Sky Association is a grand event.
This event isn't held every year; although it is supposed to be held every three years, if there is no major discovery, it might be canceled even at the last minute.
But this year was clearly different.
After passing through a bamboo forest, Lin Beichen's eyes lit up the moment he entered the manor and witnessed the splendid scene.
The manor was decorated extravagantly, lanterns and streamers everywhere. Under the bright lights, a group of people wearing exotic outfits had gathered from all corners of the world.
Even though the attire of these people was strange, Lin Beichen could understand it.
But those wearing rough animal skins or grass-woven fabrics left Lin Beichen bewildered.
"Is this a Starry Sky Association or a Halloween costume contest?"
Lin Beichen couldn't help but twitch a little at the corner of his mouth and say out loud.
Liu Nuyan's face twitched slightly as he heard Lin Beichen's remark, and his old face blushed faintly.
"Senior, this year's situation is special. Usually, those who attend the Starry Sky Association are normal people. But this year, there have been rumors of anomalies around the world. Many frauds have resurfaced, claiming they received messages from the heavens. Who knows if there's any truth in it?"
"I'm not in the mood," Liu Nuyan said angrily.
He had been bragging in front of Lin Beichen for a while, with one purpose only.
To make Lin Beichen look at him a bit differently.
However, as soon as they entered, the Starry Sky Association's oddities shone through.
While they were talking, a person walked up to Liu Nuyan and patted him on the shoulder.
"Liu Nuyan, the second young master isn't coming this year again? They just sent you here for a good laugh?
Who's this weak-looking kid next to you? He doesn't seem like a master. Is he your illegitimate child?"
Liu Nuyan was startled and hurriedly explained:
"Old Wine, stop acting drunk. This is a master from the Imperial Capital, Lin Beichen. Standing outside is his bodyguard, Wooden."
He quickly introduced Lin Beichen.
"Senior, this is Old Wine. His family is known for brewing, making excellent medicinal liquor that's very beneficial for men."
As Liu Nuyan finished, he seemed to recall the taste of Old Wine's medicinal liquor, couldn't help but chuckle and lick his lips as if reminiscing the endless flavor.
Lin Beichen sized up Old Wine and nodded silently.
Old Wine was dirty all over and had a faint alcoholic sourness when he spoke.
If it weren't for Liu Nuyan's introduction, he would have thought this person was a drunken beggar.
Despite his sloppy appearance, this person had a lot of Spiritual Qi.
The talk of medicinal liquor had ancient roots.
Wine is made from grains, and stored in liquor the herbs retain their essence. Drinking it regularly not only strengthens and revitalizes the body, promoting circulation and removing blood stasis, but it also helps absorb a trace of spiritual charm from the herbs into the body.
Based on Liu Nuyan's introduction, he was indeed a master.
Lin Beichen thought about it silently. Then he looked around the room, a hint of amazement flashing in his eyes.
In the past, being an ordinary person, he found the world dull.
Now it seemed that this world was actually vibrant and varied, it was just that people had their own worlds.
If he hadn't coincidentally met Liu Nuyan, it might have taken him a long time to find a chance to enter this circle.
"Imperial Capital is full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers, there are countless famous people. I don't seem to remember anyone named Lin Beichen."
Old Wine said casually, glancing at Lin Beichen, then suddenly laughed:
"I have a brother, known as the Madman of Winemaking. Have you heard of him?"
"Not really."
Lin Beichen replied with a faint smile.
Old Wine puckered his lips.
A person nearby, seeing the conversation picking up, couldn't help but join in with a laugh:
"Are you a local of the Imperial Capital? I heard that Imperial Capital University recently produced a genius, claimed to be this era's Einstein, and his surname seems to be Lin..."
"Old Jin, have you had too much to drink? How could a student from the Imperial Capital, even a genius from Imperial Capital University, be compared to Einstein?"
Those around them couldn't help but nod in agreement.
These people roamed the world all year round.
Although they adhered to ancient traditions, they didn't reject modern technology.
On the contrary, they were the ones who benefited the most from modern technology.
In ancient times, they would have been called adventurers or navigators.
In modern times, they all joined the International Adventurers' Professional Union.
What they tirelessly sought were not just unsolved world mysteries but also mythical records.
They weren't scientists, but they greatly revered scientists.
And Einstein?
Among scientific geniuses, if the first place belonged to Isaac Newton, then Einstein would be second.
What qualifications did an Imperial Capital student have to be compared to him?
Lin Beichen was speechless.
The outside world had actually begun comparing him to Einstein?
Was this a trap or did they think he had lived too long?
It should be known that some human anatomy maniacs always had an obsessive interest in Einstein's brain.
Lin Beichen did not want to be used as an experiment on a lab bench.
At this moment, a voice was heard from outside.
"The Medicine Immortal Pavilion, Wan Nianfeng, and Zhongcheng Hall people have arrived."
When everyone heard this, they immediately rushed forward, abandoning Lin Beichen at once.
Lin Beichen's interest was piqued.
The Medicine Immortal Pavilion was here too?
Although he had never heard of Wan Nianfeng, if they could stand alongside the Medicine Immortal Pavilion, they must be extraordinary.
Lin Beichen walked at the back of the crowd, silently observing ahead.
Zhao Wuxing entered through the door.
Beside him stood two middle-aged men.
The man on the left had white hair all over his head, but his face was full of luster, looking as if he was only about 40 years old.
