"Old Master, I have a small gift for you as well."

Qin Yang smiled and placed the jade box on the table in front of the old master.

"What good thing could this kid possibly give the old master?"

Long Heng, seeing the gift from Long Meiqing delighting the old master, felt a bit unbalanced in his heart as this kid won the old master's favor too.

"Alright, let me have a look."

The old master Long chuckled and opened the jade box.

A fresh fragrance wafted out immediately, invigorating everyone's spirits. Inside the jade box lay a quiet, ruby-like fruit, about the size of a peach, yet its fragrance far surpassed that of a peach.

"What kind of fruit is this?"

The old master Long was taken aback. He had never seen such a Spirit Fruit, but from the scent alone, it was clearly not ordinary.

"This fruit is called a Longevity Fruit. Eating it can extend the old master's life by three to five years."

Qin Yang said with a smile.

This Longevity Fruit was sent by order from Ximen Monster, pretending to be Long Meiqing's boyfriend. It would be rude to come empty-handed to the birthday banquet.

The Longevity Fruit, as the name suggests, has the ability to extend one's life. Loaded with energy, when consumed by elders, it can reinvigorate some vigor in their bodies, thus extending life by three to five years. Such Spirit Fruit is extremely rare even within second-tier peak forces like the Ximen Clan, which only possessed two in total.

"Extend life by three to five years?"

Qin Yang's simple sentence caused waves of shock to surface on everyone's face. Extending life by three to five years meant extending the influence of the old master by the same period, benefiting the entire Long Family in return.

To these prominent families in the Capital City, the old masters of each family held unparalleled influence. The longer the old master lived, the longer his influence lasted. If the family leader had yet to assume control and the old master fell, the family's path ahead would be far from smooth.

"Is there really such a Spirit Fruit in this world? This kid isn't deceiving us, is he?"

Long Heng whispered as he noticed everyone's amazed expressions.

However, as soon as his words left his mouth, his father, Long Qifan, shot him a fierce glare.

In their position, they naturally knew that such a Spirit Fruit existed in the world, but it was exceedingly rare. With its overflowing fragrance and extraordinary Spiritual Energy, it should indeed be a treasure. It was unexpected that this young man would give such a valuable gift so readily.

"This gift is a bit too precious."

The old master gazed at the Spirit Fruit, then his eyes shifted back to Qin Yang. To bring out a Longevity Fruit, such a mysterious Spirit Fruit, this young man might not be simple.

The gaze of the Tang sisters towards Qin Yang also held a slight change. The old master Tang had once received a Longevity Fruit, and after consuming it, he had been in good health, and acquiring that Fruit had been no easy feat.

"Haha, just a little token of the junior's regard, old master need not think too much of it."

Qin Yang smiled and said, though this Longevity Fruit was particularly rare to ordinary people, to Qin Yang, it was merely a Spirit Fruit that could stimulate bodily vitality.

"Giggle, I didn't misjudge. My son-in-law is indeed generous."

Zhao Xiaolan giggled and remarked, growing more satisfied with Qin Yang by the minute.

Next to her, Long Yuanfan also took a glance at Qin Yang, his curiosity about him slightly piqued, sensing that his daughter's boyfriend was not ordinary.

After Qin Yang presented his birthday gift, the other juniors from the Long Family offered their gifts to the old master one by one. Compared to Qin Yang's Longevity Fruit, other gifts seemed lackluster, yet the core purpose of offering these gifts was for these juniors to express their filial piety and learn to be grateful.

Once the juniors had presented their gifts, the birthday feast commenced.

This feast was not like the usual meals at hotels with dishes piled high on the table. Instead, each person had four plates with golden patterns and a soup bowl before them, featuring four dishes and a soup: Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, Squirrel Fish, Evergreen Scallops, Dragon and Phoenix Auspiciousness, along with a light and pleasant Longevity and Prosperity Soup.

Each dish was exceptionally exquisite, with auspicious meanings, and the quantity just right for a single adult. After the meal, there were desserts and fruits for guests to enjoy while conversing.

Many individuals from political and business circles began inquiring about Qin Yang's background. Some who felt assured of their status approached and conversed with Qin Yang, among them two descendants from prominent families asking if Qin Yang had more Longevity Fruits. The old master Long and the members of the Long Family treated Qin Yang warmly, not only because he was Long Meiqing's boyfriend, but because this young man had just presented the old master with a Longevity Fruit, which was of considerable significance to the Long Family.

After the banquet ended, Qin Yang and the Tang sisters, led by Long Meiqing, entered a villa and arrived at a room on the second floor.

"Is this your room?"

As soon as Qin Yang entered, he smelled a delicate fragrance. The room's bed was pink, soft, and neat, with two plush toys on it.

"Whenever I visit grandpa, I stay here."

Long Meiqing nodded with a blush, it being the first time she'd brought a boy to her room.

"Hmm, not bad. It's well-kept."

Qin Yang smiled and, taking the yellow pine wooden box handed by the two black-clad bodyguards at the door, placed it on the table to finally see what this unopenable scroll truly was.

He opened the yellow pine wooden box, revealing a rolled scroll in front of Qin Yang's eyes.

The scroll's axis was cast in bronze, with ancient exotic beast inscriptions etched on its surface, exuding a sense of age-old majesty.

"This is...?"

Holding the scroll, Qin Yang's eyes showed a hint of seriousness.

The scroll felt heavy in hand, with a distinctive metallic coldness emanating from the bronze axis. The fabric one touched was not ordinary paper but appeared to be made from some kind of beast hide—soft yet tough.

Qin Yang tried pulling the bronze scroll, yet with all his might, there was no sign it would open.

"How is it, unable to pull it apart, right?"

Tang Huanhuan chuckled to the side, stating that over the years, their Tang Family had invited numerous ancient martial artists skilled in body refinement, yet none could open this scroll.

"Great Strength Technique."

A faint white radiance flickered in Qin Yang's hands as he applied a Great Strength Technique for assistance, yet the scroll remained unmoved.

However, due to Qin Yang's exerted strength, comparable to a thousand pounds, pulling the scroll caused a profound blue luster to shimmer across the bronze axis.

"It seems there is a trace of array fluctuation on this scroll."

Qin Yang's eyes narrowed slightly in surprise, his gaze becoming more focused.
