The Unparalleled Sword Emperor Chapter 2953 - 2928: Seven Purple Feast!

Although Youlong Courtyard was mostly destroyed by Lin Bai, fortunately, half of it remained intact.

After familiarizing himself, Lin Bai donned clean clothes and headed out with Lin Ye.

Stepping out of the courtyard gate, Lin Bai faintly heard the sounds of jubilant singing and dancing emanating from within the Zi Bamboo Tribe.

"It seems that the Zi Bamboo Tribe indeed has a grand event today."

"Let’s go, Lin Ye!"

Lin Bai chuckled and moved forward.

After walking a few streets, Lin Bai noticed many warriors heading towards a mountain.

Looking up, Lin Bai saw a massive mountain illuminated by lanterns, towering in the darkness at the center of the Zi Bamboo Tribe.

In the dim candlelight, Lin Bai could see many shadows of people moving around the mountain.

"Let’s go!"

Lin Bai, along with Lin Ye, followed the warriors towards the mountain.

After taking a few steps out, a young man from the crowd approached Lin Bai, clasped his fists, and said, "Greetings, Brother. I am a warrior from the Zi Bamboo Tribe, named Zi Feng."

"Judging by Brother’s appearance, you don’t seem to be a warrior from our Zi Bamboo Tribe?"

Lin Bai clasped his fists and said, "I am indeed not a warrior from the Zi Bamboo Tribe. I arrived here by chance and heard that there is a banquet tonight in the Zi Bamboo Tribe, so I thought I would join the festivities?"

"Are only members of your native tribe allowed to attend this banquet?"

Lin Bai curiously asked.

Zi Feng laughed, "Of course not. I stopped you because... to attend the Seven Purple Feast, you need to wear an invitation marking. I noticed you don’t have one, so I came to ask!"

As he spoke, Zi Feng pointed to the embroidery on his chest.

Lin Bai looked, seeing a palm-sized green bamboo marking on Zi Feng’s chest, which was what he referred to as the invitation marking.

Zi Feng chuckled, "Any warrior who comes to the Zi Bamboo Tribe can attend the Seven Purple Feast, but they must wear the marking to distinguish their identity!"

"Native tribe warriors have purple markings on their chest!"

"Foreign tribe warriors have green markings!"

"And if you’re not a warrior of the Zi Bamboo Tribe, you must wear a red marking!"

"Otherwise, you can’t enter the Seven Purple Feast!"

"Even if you reach the Seven Purple Feast without a marking, you won’t be able to enter. That’s why I stopped you, to prevent you from making a wasted trip and losing your enthusiasm!"

Zi Feng spoke softly.

Lin Bai suddenly realized and said, "Oh, I see. Could you please tell me where I can get the marking? Do I need to purchase it?"

Zi Feng shook his head and said, "You need to apply for it! Well, since there’s still some time, and you seem unfamiliar with the Zi Bamboo Tribe, I’ll take you to apply for it!"

"This way, please!"

Zi Feng immediately led Lin Bai to a palace.

Inside the palace, after explaining his purpose, Lin Bai received a red marking.

Lin Bai and Lin Ye then attached the red marking to their chests.

Zi Feng laughed, "Now you can go to the Seven Purple Feast. In that case, I bid you farewell."

Speaking of which, Zi Feng was about to leave.

Lin Bai initially thought Zi Feng had ulterior motives, but now he realized he was wrong. Perhaps Zi Feng truly just wanted to kindly remind him because he saw Lin Bai and Lin Ye without markings.

"Wait a moment, Brother." Lin Bai called to Zi Feng, who had taken a few steps away.

Zi Feng asked puzzled, "Anything else?"

Lin Bai smiled and said, "I am Lin Bai, new to this treasure site and unfamiliar with the Zi Bamboo Tribe. Could I join you in attending the Seven Purple Feast?"

Zi Feng laughed, "Certainly. Please, Brother Lin!"

Lin Bai smiled slightly, walking alongside Lin Ye next to Zi Feng, then asked, "Brother Zi Feng, what is the meaning behind this Seven Purple Feast? Why does it seem to attract all the warriors of the Zi Bamboo Tribe?"

Zi Feng frowned, puzzled, and said, "Brother Lin, you don’t know?"

Lin Bai shook his head and said, "I don’t know."

Zi Feng laughed, "I thought Brother Lin specifically came from other tribes to attend the Seven Purple Feast. Now I see, I thought too much. It seems Brother Lin truly came here by chance!"

"Well, I’ll explain it to Brother Lin!"

"Our Zi Bamboo Tribe is located within this Purple Mountain!"

"Inside Purple Mountain grows a special spirit bamboo, which we call ’Zi Bamboo’, and it’s where our tribe’s name comes from!"

"Zi Bamboo has many uses: it can be used for artifact refining and alchemy. On the Nanzhou Continent, it’s considered a valuable item without a market!"

"Moreover, inside Purple Mountain there’s another treasure, containing extremely pure Spirit Liquid, one of the rare treasures in Purple Mountain, with wonderful effects to enhance cultivation!"

"Every year, our Zi Bamboo Tribe hosts a grand event with Spirit Liquid sourced from Purple Mountain, and all warriors from the Zi Bamboo Tribe can participate!"

"At the banquet, seven Martial Arts Stages are set up, where any warrior below the Wending Realm can compete!"

"This also serves to excite the banquet with martial arts competition, so the Zi Bamboo Tribe offers seven bottles of Spirit Liquid as rewards."

"As long as one defends the stage and fights until no one can challenge, they’ll be rewarded with a bottle of Spirit Liquid!"

"Therefore, this Spirit Liquid is also called ’Seven Purple Spiritual Liquid’ by the warriors of the Zi Bamboo Tribe, and the banquet is called ’Seven Purple Feast’."

Zi Feng smiled faintly.

Lin Bai understood, nodding as he gained insight into the Seven Purple Feast.

The Zi Bamboo Tribe resides against Purple Mountain, relying on the Zi Bamboo and Spirit Liquid from Purple Mountain as their foundation!

Moreover, the Zi Bamboo Tribe isn’t a tribe that likes to expand its power; it primarily relies on commerce to establish itself on the Nanzhou Continent.

So, each year, they reward some of the warriors within the tribe with the "Seven Purple Spiritual Liquid" they acquire.

Zi Feng also laughed, "If the Seven Purple Spiritual Liquid were sold outside, each bottle would be worth billions of Spirit Liquid, extremely expensive, so many warriors can’t afford it!"

"That’s why when they hear the Seven Purple Feast is about to begin, many tribe warriors travel from afar to join the banquet, hoping to obtain the Spirit Liquid!"

"The Zi Bamboo Tribe thereby draws some strong ones, strengthening the tribe a bit!"

"I initially thought Brother Lin came after hearing about the Seven Purple Feast!"

Zi Feng spoke lightly.

Lin Bai smiled wryly, "Though I’m not here specifically for the Seven Purple Feast, hearing Brother Zi’s explanation has piqued my interest!"

Zi Feng laughed, "Haha, then please, Brother Lin, ahead is Purple Mountain!"

Lin Bai looked up, and during the conversation with Zi Feng, the two had arrived at the brightly lit base of Purple Mountain.

Now, under Purple Mountain, a large crowd of warriors had gathered, celebrating together, surrounding the bonfires, laughing and drinking, each face showing a happy smile.

As if this place were a paradise, completely devoid of the harshness of the Martial World!
