Shangyuque

Chapter 111 The glow on Fellow Daoist Yulou is too dazzling after all! (106W, monthly ticket requested)

Fan Zhugao rode the flying boat and flew leisurely in the air, his destination was Hewan Fishing Port.

At the beginning, Yulou's concubine ceremony was not of high standard at all. He mainly invited fellow disciples he met in the Dripping Cave, so it was lively.

After all, it's just a concubine. Xiao Qin is a capable subordinate who needs to be won over as much as possible. Xiao Bai is involved in Yulou's further control over the Hewan Fishing Port. Under this premise, the ancestor's urging for marriage has been effective.

The speed of the flying boat was not fast, mainly because Fan Zhugao was not in a hurry. He wanted to wait for Old Wu, also known as Wu Faxian, to meet up with him first, and then go together.

The reason was not complicated. Wang Yulou and Old Wu organized a small platform called "Exchange Dharma Assembly", which was actually a mobile market. Fan Zhugao was involved in it. Today, he wanted to discuss with Wu Faxian how to carry out the work.

As a disciple of Zhuochi, the elder of the Dripping Cave, Fan Zhugao's life is naturally much better than that of Zhang Xuewu and Cui Dingyi.

But there is more than one disciple of the foundation-building cultivator. Zhuochi has three disciples, and one of the three disciples is from the Zhuo family, and the other is from another foundation-building family.

As Lao Fan is the only one among the three disciples who comes from a grassroots background, he is naturally treated differently most of the time.

Of course, as a good disciple of Elder Zhuo, Fan Zhugao naturally did not dare to have any complaints. After all, the master leads the way, and the practice is up to the individual. Taking Zhuochi as his master is the greatest significance in itself.

However, when it comes to gaining the resources for spiritual practice, Lao Fan needs to think of more ways on his own.

Taking on sect missions and going out is certainly a good idea, but among the missions sent out by the Dripping Cave, the most lucrative ones definitely have nothing to do with Lao Fan, and the second-most lucrative ones also have nothing to do with Lao Fan. The rest are just leftovers.

What about hunting monsters in the West Sea, managing the black storm in the East Desert, and supporting the front line of Miaofeng Mountain?
Hunting monsters in the West Sea, the chances of life or death are fifty-fifty, and he cannot leave. Lao Fan does not mind that his life is too long.

If he went to East Desert to control the black storm, the chance of coming back alive was high, about 70% to 80%. However, East Desert was 20,000 miles away from the Dripping Cave - even if Fan Zhugao was crazy, he would never accept such a mission.

To support the front line of Miaofeng Mountain, as a disciple of Dripping Cave, of course he would not really go to the front line, but the killing was already going on over there, and even the war gave birth to more than fifty new foundation-building cultivators. Lao Fan wanted to build a foundation, but did not want to take risks.

Therefore, he could only take on some tasks within the sect to barely maintain an income.

Anyway, there is a new foundation-building cultivator in the Dripping Cave every year, and one third of them are cultivators from grassroots backgrounds. Old Fan is still young, less than a hundred years old, and he has confidence in himself.

After receiving Yulou's invitation to start a business together, Lao Fan became more confident. However, the communication process would be complicated, so he still needed to discuss with Lao Wu on how to do it.

From a distance, Old Wu noticed Fan Zhugao's figure. He urged his mount to speed up slightly and soon caught up with him. After all, Old Fan's speed was slow to begin with.

"Old Wu, did you buy a new crane?"

Fan Zhugao had already noticed the magical crane under Wu Faxian, and he asked with some envy.

There are differences between monks and there are also differences between mounts.

Those who are unlucky have to ride horses and walk every day, while those who are more unlucky can ride birds and fly.

But among the spiritual birds, there are also differences in superiority and inferiority. The Peng eagle is the most domineering, the spiritual crane is the most elegant, and the exotic birds are the most helpful.

Among them, the most graceful spiritual crane is, in a sense, the ceiling of spiritual birds that Qigong practitioners can touch.

Maybe the direct descendants of some big families can ride on spirit beasts with excellent natural powers since childhood, but such people are a minority after all.

For most Qigong practitioners, buying a magical crane and riding it to fly around in front of their fellow practitioners would make their life complete.

Everyone wants to become an immortal, but everyone also understands that the chances of becoming an immortal are almost zero, so doesn't it mean that one needs to find some value and sense of accomplishment elsewhere?

"Hahaha, I bought it from Wang's. Yulou introduced it to me. How is it? It doesn't look too shabby, does it?"

Wu Faxian stopped the crane and flew side by side with Fan Zhugao.

"Old Wu, what you said is meaningless. It is not only not shabby, but I guess it is at the middle level of the miscellaneous demon realm?"

"Yes, but this crane is only an iron-crowned crane, far inferior to the red crane in Yulou. At most, it can only reach the high level of the miscellaneous demon realm, and it is difficult to break through the small demon realm."

"I remember that the Iron Crown Crane can help with the battle?"

"Three spells, not worth mentioning, hahahaha, not worth mentioning."

"How many spirit stones?"

Fan Zhugao was itching to try it out. As a vassal of the Wang family, the Tie family was good at breeding cranes.

With Yulou's reputation, if I buy it myself, it should be cheaper, right?

"It's only 1,200 yuan. My advice is don't buy it. It's not very useful except for its appearance."

"Old Wu, you really don't consider me your friend anymore. Next time, before you say I'm of little use, you'd better not smile so obviously."

“In fact, if you buy one, I suggest getting an iron-crowned crane as well.

This crane is the least picky eater of all cranes. It only needs to be fed some specially made food, and it doesn’t cost a single spirit stone to raise it.”

Buying a crane is not cheap, and raising a crane is even more expensive. An Iron-crowned Crane can be raised without consuming spiritual stones, which is roughly equivalent to a car that does not consume gasoline.

"Let's talk about it later. Money is tight right now. If the exchange ceremony we organized goes well, it wouldn't hurt to buy one."

Fan Zhugao’s idea was simple: he could accept that Wang Yulou had a spirit crane rider.

But now even Wu Faxian is riding on a crane, this is...
"You are short of money, so why worry? You can use your magic weapon as collateral. If you pledge a low-grade magic weapon, you can enjoy a 120-spirit-stone purchase discount on the crane, which is payable later.

By mortgaging a top-grade magic weapon, you can enjoy a discount of at least 800 spirit stones on the purchase of a crane, and you don’t have to pay back the money you received.

I exchanged that worn-out top-grade flying boat for this spiritual crane."

Fan Zhugao rolled his eyes and said.

"Don't use the same words you use to fool others to fool me. Pay later is a trick used by other fellow disciples at the Dharma Exchange Conference. How can I not understand what's going on?"

Wu Faxian didn't have any psychological burden. Anyway, even if Lao Fan bought him, he wouldn't earn any spirit stones. At most, he would increase the favorability of Taoist Yulou a little.

"Hahaha, Lao Fan, you're obsessed. The flying speed of your flying boat is just so-so, and it takes a lot of spiritual energy to activate it.

Wouldn't it be great if I could borrow the relationship of Daoist Yulou and ask Wang to exchange it for a spiritual crane mount?"

Fan Zhugao wanted the spiritual crane, but he was short of money and unwilling to use it first and pay later, so he could only say it sourly.

"The spiritual crane is good, but it is just an external object after all. If you want to build a foundation, huh? That is..."

The two of them had already arrived outside the Hewan Fishing Port, but Fan Zhugao discovered that his master, the great elder Zhuochi Zhuo, seemed to have landed directly on the golden platform.

Because Fan Zhugao was Zhuochi's apprentice, he was aware of Zhuochi's low-key escape light, but Wu Faxian didn't notice it at all.

"what happened?"

"It's going to be very busy today, let's go, let's go quickly."

Old Fan narrowed his eyes, realizing that Fellow Daoist Yulou's display would probably exceed his expectations.

"Why rush? The concubine ceremony will be held in the evening. We arrived just after noon, so it's not too late at all."

Glancing at Wu Faxian, Lao Fan thought, you don’t even have a foundation-building master, what else can you understand?

The two flew to the Demon-Controlling Platform and landed, and a Qi-inducing monk from the Hewan Fishing Port came up to receive them.

"Two seniors, please come this way. It's still early. You can wait in the side hall."

Side hall?

Wu Faxian murmured in his heart, Yulou, you don’t seem to care about me, your brother?
The two of them arrived at the side hall, where a waiter came up to serve them tea.

"Old Ancestor Wang said that you two are his close friends, so please don't give us any gifts. Today, we just want to invite you two seniors to come and have some fun."

The young Qi-inducing monk who received the two men gave them another instruction and then left quickly because he had other people to receive.

Wu Faxian shook his head, leaned against Fan Zhugao, coughed, and then said.

“How much are you giving?”

"I was originally planning to give a few dozen spirit stones or a bottle of Qi-transforming pills as a token of my appreciation."

Fan Zhugao murmured and said, to be honest, even if Old Wu didn't ask him, he would have wanted to ask Old Wu.

"Ah?" Old Wu realized something was wrong.

Lao Fan didn't answer.

After taking out a few top-grade talismans that he had spent a lot of effort to refine from his storage bag and stuffing them into a silver box, Old Fan let out a long sigh.

"My master is here too. Fellow Daoist Yulou is so honored."

Zhuo Chi’s arrival means that there will probably be other people coming today, such as the Yuan family, who are in direct confrontation with the Zhuo family.

Why did Wu Faxian want to be friends with Yulou?
It’s not because of the communication at the Dharma Assembly. This thing is the result, not the cause.

Long time ago, Wu Faxian realized the young and promising Yu Lou. The key point is that the Wang family is a big family outside the Dripping Cave.

Of course, it cannot be compared with the purple mansions like the Gu and Ning families.

However, as the only disciple of the Anbei Wang family in the Dripping Cave, Yulou is still young and capable, and it will be easy for him to develop in the sect in the future.

Looking back now, this future is coming much earlier than Wu Faxian had expected.

--------

No one expected that Zhuo Chi would come to attend Yulou's concubine-taking ceremony, and that he would come so early.

Even Wang Xianzhou, who intended to create a situation where Yulou could be sold at a high price, did not expect that his strategy would be effective so quickly.

"Senior Sister Jingyi, you don't know that Yulou and I have always had a good relationship. In my opinion, his marriage is as important as my son's marriage!"

Lao Zhuo is a good talker. With Wang Jingyi's experience, he made her feel somewhat embarrassed.

"Junior Brother Zhuo, it's just a gift for taking a concubine, there's really no need for you to come here in person.

However, Yulou has been alone these years, and we, as the elders, can rest assured that you have been taking care of her.

Both Xianmao and I keep this in mind. "

Wang Jingyi is a disciple of Hong Dengzhao and also a disciple of Zifu. He has supernatural powers in his cultivation, so naturally he can call Zhuochi his junior brother.

"It's as it should be. It's all as it should be. But, Senior Sister, our Yulou is taking a concubine this time, not getting married?"

Our Jade House

Wang Xianzhou finally couldn't help it and rolled his eyes fiercely.

It’s my family’s Yulou, it’s our Wang family’s Yulou. What does it have to do with you and the Zhuo family?
What's more, you are almost like our Yulou to our biological son, but you still don't know that Yulou is just a concubine.

Mr. Zhuo, can you please have some shame, please?
Of course, Wang Xianzhou could only curse in his heart. Don't hit someone who smiles at you. Elder Zhuochi's performance was for the Wang family. There was actually no big problem.

It was purely because Patriarch Zhou loved and respected Yulou too much that he felt a little uncomfortable.

“Yes, Yulou is the foundation-building seed of the Wang family. If nothing unexpected happens in the future, he will definitely be able to build a foundation.

If he were to get married, he would definitely look for a man from a high-class family who could help the women in his clan reach the stage of foundation-building.

But we don’t know much about the Dripping Cave, so we will temporarily take two concubines for him.

We will see who to choose as our official Taoist partner in the future."

Wang Jingyi smiled and told the story of the real sex scene.

Xiaozhuo, Wang Yulou is the core figure of our Wang family's next generation and will definitely lay the foundation for the future.

If you want to introduce some female cultivators in the Dripping Cave to us as a favor, that's no problem - as long as the family of that female cultivator can guarantee to help her build her foundation!
Zhuo Chi came here today to compete with the Yuan family and win over the Wang family, but he never expected that Wang Yulou's marriage would be arranged in this way. This can be seen from the fact that he didn't know whether it was a concubine ceremony or a wedding.

After listening to Wang Jingyi's request, Zhuo Chi was more keenly aware that this opportunity was very unusual.

According to what Daoist Fellow Yingxi once said, in the future, the chickens and dogs of the Mangxiang lineage will all attain enlightenment along with Mangxiang. Having this kind of understanding is a basic quality of the children of a wealthy family.

Zhuochi thought that if some people could marry the next generation of Wang family who were building their foundation, wouldn't they be able to get some of the luck of the ancestor in achieving the golden elixir?
To give a more vivid example, if we regard Mangxiang as a train heading for the future, then this train is now full. The grace of the ancestors has been distributed in many rounds, and those who should get on the train and those who should not get on the train have all gotten on.

But those who buy courtesy tickets and get on the train later often don't have good seats. The better ones can have a hard seat, while the unlucky ones can only stand. The more marginal ones can even only smell the exhaust fumes of the train and the fuel and price of the train's progress.

Most of the families in Dripping Cave bought some favor tickets but did not get on the train at all.

Because for the families within the sect, they have a broad vision and extensive knowledge, so they naturally know in their hearts that getting on the bus too late is actually not much different from not getting on the bus at all.

The Wang family has been vassal of the ancestor for many years. On this train, I dare not say that they have an entire carriage - this requires the treatment of hanging seals and morning days, but at least there are several private rooms.

The additional grace tickets were fake grace tickets, but Wang’s box was a real box!

Wang Yulou's marriage gave all the families who had the ability to buy a ticket a chance to buy a ticket and truly sit behind the Patriarch Mangxiang!

"Push until the foundation is established. What does this mean?"

Zhuochi actually understood, but he wanted to confirm Wang’s asking price.

Patriarch Jingyi pointed at Wang Rongjiang, who was sitting on the side and listening to their conversation with a smile, and said.

"This is Wang Rongjiang. He just established his foundation last year. Junior Brother Zhuo, do you know how many times he has established his foundation?"

Wang Rongjiang stopped smiling.

laugh?
Bao can't laugh, I feel like a joke at the moment.

Wang Xianzhou smiled.

"Twice?" Zhuochi asked.

“Three times, our Wang Clan provided him with two and a half portions of foundation-building resources during his three foundation-building processes.

This is what I mean by "pushing to build a foundation". Over the past thousand years, building a foundation has become increasingly simple. It's nothing more than relying on luck or piling up resources."

Zhuo Chi took a deep breath. Wang was really cruel. Two and a half portions.
There was something wrong with his expression when he looked at Wang Rongjiang, as if he was looking at a giant panda.

“The family behind Yulou’s future marriage partner must also ensure that they can provide at least two portions, no, one and a half portions of foundation-building resources when the person is building his or her foundation.

This is the basic condition for us to select a Taoist partner for Yulou!"

Zhuo Chi didn't take a breath this time. Instead, he started to think about whether there was any suitable female cultivator among the Zhuo family.

The situation is already very clear. The Wang family intends to choose one of the foundation-building families in Dripping Water Cave as a marriage partner, but the requirements are very high. It must be a strong alliance.

If the Zhuo family has a suitable candidate, Zhuochi will naturally not sit idly by and watch this opportunity be snatched away by others.

Soon, Zhuochi came up with a plan, and he spoke with a smile.

"Senior Sister Jingyi, it's not difficult to get one and a half foundation-building resources. Our Zhuo family happens to have two female cultivators who are both suitable."

"Junior Sister Wang, I hope you won't blame me for coming here presumptuously. Since the last time I saw Lao Wu in Lotus Fairy City?"

Yuan Daoshen glanced at Zhuochi coldly, without giving him any face at all.

"Old Fifth, why didn't Brother Yinsheng come? Why is your Zhuo family so disrespectful of young friend Yulou's marriage?"

As the patriarch of the Yuan family and the strongest foundation-building cultivator in the Dripping Cave, Yuan Daoshen's strength allows him to calmly call Wang Jingyi, who is also a disciple of the Purple Mansion, "Junior Sister". He has no pressure at all when facing the Turbid Pool.

But his rudeness did not mean that he was crazy, he just wanted to test the attitude of the Wang family.

"Whether it is disrespectful or not, I'm afraid Elder Yuan has no say in it."

Seeing Boss Yuan acting like this, Zhuochi immediately fought back.

Wang Rongjiang, who couldn't laugh at the side, was alert. He quickly said something to smooth the situation over, and then they continued to talk about Wang Yulou's marriage.

As for today's concubine ceremony?

No one cares except Patriarch Xian Zhou.

------------

On the other side, in Qin Churan's mansion, Yulou pushed open the door of her boudoir.

"Are you nervous?" the groom asked with a smile.

The guests gradually arrived. As the protagonist of the day, Yulou, who was a groom for the first time, was in a good mood. He was only busy looking for the two girls who were about to be married to confirm the situation.

The secular wedding process has nothing to do with immortal cultivators.

Wang Yulou's purpose of marrying these two girls was partly to fulfill Grandmaster Zhou's desire to urge marriage. The grandmaster was old and wanted to see Yulou give birth to a baby. How could Yulou refuse?

The other part is that these two girls are very important. Xiao Qin is a career assistant, and Xiao Yu is a reliable partner.

Although you walk alone on the road, it is inevitable to feel lonely, so it is appropriate to find some beautiful women to accompany you.

Moreover, if Wang Yulou wants to go further, he cannot be limited to the Wang family system. The family can help him a lot, but the family's and his own are two different things after all.

Close friends, fellow Taoists, disciples, etc., are all the foundation for a cultivator to build his own power. Marrying more reliable partners can greatly consolidate the basic foundation of Yulou.

The beautiful wish of reaching the top of the world requires down-to-earth climbing. Of course, these partners are not stepping stones to the jade tower, but more of a helping hand that he can rely on when climbing.

"I'm not nervous, I'm just a little too happy. I'm so happy that my heart feels empty. It's very strange."

Xiao Qin, who was also getting married for the first time, answered with a wry smile.

Wang Yulou sat at the round table in the boudoir, facing Xiao Qin.

Faced with the girl's distress, Yulou thought for a moment and asked.

"Do you know the most powerful martial art in the legend of Mount Tiantai, the Tiantai Solitary Sitting Kungfu?"

"Ancient method?"

Qin Churan didn't quite understand the Tiantai Duzuo Gong, but she knew the Great Tiantai Mountain. This sect was ranked alongside the Tianshe Sect and was one of the "Top Three Sects" of Wunan.

“Yes, although the ancient method has declined now, there are still people practicing it because the ancient method is more profound in terms of the method.

The inheritance of Tiantai Duzuo Gong was obtained by a foundation-building cultivator more than ten years ago, and he thought he had some extraordinary opportunity.

After practicing, he found that Tiantai Duzuo Gong was a mental method, and what he cultivated was the heart of Tao. When he was arrested by the Immortal Alliance, he was still cursing Tiantai Mountain for tricking him. "

When Wang Yulou told this secret, Xiao Qin's eyes widened.

It is so unexpected that the most powerful technique of the three major sects in Mount Tiantai is the one for cultivating the mind.

“Since it is for cultivating the mind, why can it become the most powerful technique?” the girl asked puzzledly.

"The source of the ancient method lies in the interaction between heaven and earth. In the process of the cultivator's interaction with heaven and earth, the clarity and firmness of the Taoist heart have a great impact. Tiantai Solitary Sitting Gong can help the cultivators of Mount Tiantai to practice faster.

Your Tao mind is disturbed, so you are easily affected by your emotions. Your partner and cultivation are just a part of cultivation. If you treat them as normal, you will be more at ease. "

Yulou talked eloquently and Qin Churan listened attentively.

Just looking at the profile of the man sitting there, Xiao Qin thought that, actually, he was just treating him normally.

Water flows to the lowest places, but people’s hearts always want to go higher and higher.

Therefore, the ancient method of interacting with heaven and earth was eliminated, and the new method of devouring heaven and earth became the mainstream practice of cultivators.

Cultivator: As immortal cultivators, do we have to depend on the will of heaven and earth for our practice?
The respect for the interaction between heaven and earth when refining equipment, refining elixirs, setting up battle formations, breaking through, fighting, and practicing are the few traces left by the ancient methods.

".Do you understand?"

After Yulou finished speaking, he noticed that the girl sitting opposite him was in a daze, so he spoke in a slightly higher voice.

Qin Churan's eyes moved slightly, and he asked back, "Senior Wang, from today on, what should Churan call you?"

She is a smart girl and knows that she is different from Xiaoyu.

Their talents are different, their relationships with Senior Wang are different, and their purposes for trying to get close to Wang Yulou are different.

If you seek benevolence, you will get benevolence; if you seek unkindness, you will get unkindness. Qin Churan knew what he would get.

So, she didn't have too many extra expectations.

If it were her, she would never dare to ask Wang Yulou for the water jade magic weapon.

But she also has her own little, insignificant wishes.

Don’t take it for granted, Senior Wang. Chu Ran gave you everything, so don’t take it for granted.

And that casual question of address was the biggest test that Qin Churan mustered up the courage to take.

Yulou didn't realize that Qin Churan was testing her. After all, she was smart and was being very cautious and careful at the moment.

"Then I also want to ask, how do you want me to call you?" he asked jokingly.

The inadvertent temptation received an inadvertent answer. Xiao Qin felt a little relieved but also a little disappointed. However, she soon realized that she was being pretentious.

So she poured a cup of tea for Yulou, and after serving the tea, she spoke.

"Senior Wang, please continue to call me Xiao Qin."

Being a qualified subordinate and a reliable workhorse is the foundation of Xiao Qin's existence beside Wang Yulou. She wants to go out, but ultimately she dares not to.

That's why she has repeated and conflicting behaviors. At this moment, she chooses to stay in this comfort zone.

Then just continue to call me Xiao Qin.

"Ah, I call you Xiao Qin, do you call me Lao Wang?"

Yulou actually thought that Qin Churan was younger than her, but his age was still a secret, so she changed her words and made a joke.

Hearing him say this, Qin Churan was amused and trembled with joy.

He became the controller of Hewan Fishing Port at a young age. He looked to be in his early twenties and had nothing to do with Lao Wang in any way.

"Old Wang doesn't sound good, so Xiao Qin will just call you the Great King, how about that?"

Xiao Qin is also a wonderful person. He directly made Yulou experience the feeling of being the King and the Patriarch.

"Absolutely not, I can't bear it, hahahaha."

This title was too grand, and Yulou waved her hands to refuse.

"What's that name? Brother Wang? Brother Yulou?"

Finally, he noticed that Xiao Qin seemed to be talking about more than just the issue of address.

Thinking of this, Yulou looked at Xiao Qin quietly. Under his gaze, Xiao Qin lowered his head shyly at first.

But Yulou didn't say anything for a long time. She understood something and raised her head again and said.

"Senior Wang, Xiao Qin will abide by his duties."

Yulou took her hand and held the confused girl in his arms.

"You, you always think you are very smart, but actually you are not very smart."

Xiao Qin just silently hugged the person in front of him without saying a word.

“The best thing to do is to pretend that you know nothing and pretend to be my wife.

What kind of person you are does not depend on a title, or even on me, but only on yourself.

Maybe you think that you are not good enough and have less talent, so you have various concerns.

But I don’t care, Xiao Qin. It’s not that I don’t care about you, but everyone below me does.”

In fact, Yulou changed this sentence.

In fact, what he wanted to say was that everyone is equal below himself.

Yulou is confident that there is no essential difference between himself and the most powerful geniuses in the world.

The starting points may be different, but in the end, all the advantages at the beginning will be leveled.

At that time, he will not lose to anyone!
"Senior Wang, you are very different now than you were before."

"Oh, what's the difference?"

"I can't really put it into words, but Xiao Qin feels that you now are the real you."

Qin Churan knew that she had gotten a little carried away, but she just couldn't control her heart.

Then forget yourself for once.

"Yeah, I got carried away."

Qin Churan was a little surprised by Yulou's answer.

To be true to oneself, in Wang Yulou's view, is actually a manifestation of forgetfulness.

"Xiao Qin, there are only two kinds of cultivators in the world, those who can disguise themselves, and those who can't.

The former dominates everything. For example, those who are slightly more powerful in foundation building will not speak much truth.

Those great monks who stand at the top can manipulate everyone in the palm of their hands and even have the ability to change the world.

If you want to go further, you must hide your true self and wait for the right time. "

"The right time, the right time, when is the right time?"

Qin Churan didn’t understand Wang Yulou, who came from a wealthy family. She really didn’t understand and she wanted to understand.

"The destiny is also false, just like fate will not favor those who need to be favored. Fate treats all living beings equally, from humans to beasts to monsters.

The right time does not exist and cannot be waited for.

The natural time that I am talking about, the natural time that we Wang family are talking about, is our own natural time.

For you, perhaps the moment I arrived at the Hewan Fishing Port was the right time. "

Gently stroking the back of the beauty in his arms, Yulou said a lot.

He wanted to make this girl realize that she was not a vassal or a plaything, but one of his most important allies, someone he would only feel at ease if he married her.

But Qin Churan actually heard nothing.

For the first time in her twenty-plus years of life, she felt the warmth of an embrace.

She was so immersed in it that she had completely forgotten how she should disguise herself.

------

"Sister Wang, how old is Yulou?"

Lin Hengtai's question was very interesting. Yuan Daoshen and Zhuochi pricked up their ears when they heard him ask this.

Good job, Lao Lin. I don’t know if you are a fool or really smart. You actually asked directly.

Wang Jingyi took a quick glance and saw the expressions of those who were building their foundations. She replied calmly.

"Less than fifty."

Because Lin Hengtai was sitting opposite him, Zhuochi could even see his stiff face as he pressed the pause button, and for a moment he almost laughed out loud.

A cultivator like Wang Yulou who has great potential will go very far in the future.

Their age needs to be kept secret, as it will affect their safety in future fights with others.

The ancient method of emphasizing the interaction between heaven and man has been abandoned, but the interaction between heaven and man itself still affects every cultivator. The higher the level of cultivation, the greater the influence.

If you know your opponent's date of birth, you can plan an attack at a specific time.

The foundation-building cultivators could already clearly feel the changes in their strength at different times and in different regions, so no one would think there was anything wrong with Wang Jingyi downplaying Yu Lou's age.

"Hahaha, yes, yes, Hyungtae, I'm sorry."

Lin Hengtai was asking for trouble, but he didn't dare to complain. After all, the two foundation-building masters of the Lin family combined were not enough for Wang Jingyi to chop with three swords.

If the two base-building masters of the Lin family stood in a row, then when Patriarch Jingyi took action, he could solve the problem with just one sword.

The higher the level of cultivation, the greater the gap in strength between cultivators.

This difference in strength reaches its maximum during the foundation-building stage.

There are also huge differences in strength between Purple Mansions, but Purple Mansion cultivators can smooth out the differences over time, and there is no difference in strength between Purple Mansions with slightly older experience in a fight.

Everyone is blessed with the power of the cave heaven, and all of them have mastered the five meridians of Taoism. They can use various methods without ambiguity, making it difficult to tell the winner.

This is how the Immortal Alliance came into being - stop fighting, let's all harvest together.

“My fellow Taoists, the matter of the Jade Tower Taoist Companions involves many things, and it cannot be fully explained in a short period of time.

The requirements of our Wang family are very simple: to be pretty, to be smart, and finally, to guarantee one and a half portions of foundation-building resources.

Only in this way can you become a couple and walk together on the immortal path for a long time."

Wang Jingyi set the tone for the Taoist couple affairs in Yulou, and then ordered Wang Rongjiang to invite the guests to the courtyard to watch the ceremony.

Wang Xianzhou was Yulou's bodyguard and needed to hide. After Zhuochi came, he hid aside - Zhuochi came too early.
-
In the side hall, amid the chatter of many fellow students, Lin Ying closed her eyes in annoyance, trying to calm herself down.

However, if people can easily control their own minds, then what is the point of Tiantai Sitting Meditation in Mount Tiantai?
Whenever Lin Ying wanted to calm down, Yu Lou's face would suddenly appear in her consciousness.

She wanted to drive Yulou's face out of her mind, but it only exacerbated the interference of this obsession.

Obsession, the more you care, the more obsessed you become.

In the end, she could only open her eyes in frustration and pretend nothing had happened.

When Lin Ying learned that she might marry Wang Yulou, she was dumbfounded. However, the ancestor told her that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

But Lin Ying was not unfamiliar with Wang Yulou. The Xiangu Cave and the Hewan Fishing Port were not far from each other. Yulou, Lin Ying and Ji Yuan often interacted with each other. Although they were not close friends, they were quite familiar with each other.

In Lin Ying's eyes, Wang Yulou was just a pretentious old man who was extremely boring every day.

The most annoying thing is that every time Lin Ying thinks of Wang Yulou, she will think of the embarrassing scene in front of the Bishui Palace that day.

Thinking of that embarrassing situation, Lin Ying would fall into a state of self-abandonment and irritability.

This is called a traumatic flashback in psychology.

Obviously, Wang Yulou gave her the opportunity to exchange for the water jade, but she suffered traumatic flashbacks instead, and even blamed Wang Yulou for this trauma.

How should I put it? It's understandable, but no one can respect it.

Even Lin Ying herself understood that this reason could not be explained to others, so under Lin Hengtai's strong pull, she still came to the Yulou concubine ceremony.

"My fellow Taoists, the time is almost up. Please follow me to the courtyard to watch the ceremony."

Wang Rongjiang suddenly appeared, and many Qi-cultivating practitioners in the side hall stood up and followed him out the door.

Lin Ying walked behind and shrank into the corner of the crowd after going out.

Looking at the crowded people in the courtyard, Lin Ying looked down on Wang Yulou even more.

You organized the concubine ceremony, but the result was that you called us to watch you and your two concubines put on a show. Who knows how many times the red gauze curtain has been rolled behind you!

However, when Wang Yulou brought the two girls out, Lin Ying was still shocked by Wang's arrogance.

Qin Churan and Bai Xiaoyu, two Qi-inducing monks, were wearing mid-grade magical robes - Lin Ying's own best robe was only of low-grade magical robes.

The two girls are naturally beautiful, each in their own way.

Now, one of them is wearing bright red, and the other one is wearing moon-white. When they stand together, they are as dazzling as fairies from heaven who have come down to earth.

"Okay, okay, Junior Brother Yulou is very lucky."

Fan Zhugao was not familiar with Xiao Qin and Xiao Yu, so he was the most emotional. However, Wu Faxian had already expected this.

Xiaoyu is the kind of girl you can recognize at a glance when she stands in a crowd. Wu Faxian has experienced this before.

At that time, Bai Xiaoyu took him to the villa to meet Wang Yulou. Halfway through the journey, he suddenly jumped into the water to catch a turtle. This left a deep impression on Wu Faxian.

"What are the rules for the concubine ceremony? Are we just standing here?" Wu Faxian asked Lao Fan in a voice transmission.

Lao Fan glanced at him and replied via voice transmission.

"Of course, or do you want to go up and accompany the groom to experience it?"

He received so many gifts, but in the end there was not even a place to sit and he could only stand and watch. It is impossible to say that Lao Fan had no complaints.

"Newbies greet the elders!"

Wang Rongjiang pretended to sing a line, and then used his magic power to open the half-closed door of the main hall at the end of the vestibule.

Sitting inside the door were Wang Yulou’s elders.

Looking inside the door, Fan Zhugao took a breath of cold air, Wu Faxian bent down, and even Lin Ying in the corner was a little surprised.

Inside the door, there were thirteen foundation-building monks, either sitting or standing!
People from several major foundation-building families in the Dripping Water Cave had come, including Zhuo Chi from the Zhuo family, Yuan Daoshen from the Yuan family, and sect leader Qu Yunjian. These three well-known foundation-building cultivators in the Dripping Water Cave sat at the top seats.

As the Immortal Alliance's supervisory deacon and Wang's good friend, Wu Jinyan sat on the right edge of the five seats.

Sitting in the center seat was a female cultivator with a serious complexion. She didn't look anything special.

In fact, Patriarch Jingyi was trying his best to restrain his outward magical powers, just to allow the two girls to see his face clearly.

But what surprised Lin Ying the most was that, except for these five foundation-building cultivators, all the other foundation-building cultivators who came to participate in the Yulou concubine ceremony were standing aside - including the Lin family's ancestor Lin Hengtai.

Seating represents power. Wang Jingyi can sit there not only because she is the head of the Wang family, but also because she has the highest status among all those sitting there.

Yuan Daoshen and Zhuochi represent the first and second foundation-building families in the Dripping Cave respectively. The head of the family represents the dignity of the Dripping Cave, and Wu Jinyan represents the extension of the power of the Immortal Alliance in the Dripping Cave.

In front of this nobody, Lin Hengtai, who has no strength and a weak family, can only stand there, right?

Under the chairmanship of Wang Rongjiang, Yulou and the two girls bowed three times to the five seniors.

The ceremony was surprisingly simple, but Yulou felt a surge of excitement in his heart. Through marriage, he had two special people of his own for the first time. They would become his tentacles and help him build his power.

If a cultivator wants to go further, he cannot fight alone. Under the Immortal Alliance system, managing his own base is of utmost importance.

When Mangxiang achieved the Golden Elixir, the two Purple Palaces ran around to help increase their favors, and the red lights they cut made all the people in the sect scream equally, which fully demonstrated the importance of managing one's own faction.

From the initial trial operation of Qingxifang, to the reorganization and restructuring of Hewan Fishing Port to gain power, and now to marrying two concubines to expand his influence, Yulou is building up his own power and territory step by step.

Although it may seem small and insignificant at the moment, it is a good start.

The future is coming soon!

“Yulou, you may not be able to use the other things I gave you.

But you are a weapon refiner, I think you will need spiritual materials, so please accept this seventh-grade yohimbine.

I hope you can improve day by day and use this spiritual material soon."

Wang Jingyi looked at Yulou with a smile and gave him a huge piece of yohimbine stone, which made all the foundation-building people in the Dripping Cave look at him sideways.

However, the real attention has just begun.

“Yulou, you have been in the Dripping Water Cave for three years, and your cultivation has increased by three levels. It can be seen that you are very dedicated in your cultivation.

As an elder of the sect, when I see you, I see the future prosperity of the sect.

Here, I give you this piece of jade. I also know a little bit about the Dao. If you have any questions about the Dao, feel free to ask me! "

Yuan Daoshen gave Yulou a piece of water jade, and Yulou naturally accepted it with joy.

It’s strange to say, water jade is obviously the most precious eighth-grade spiritual material within the Red Lantern Zhao’s sphere of influence, but Yulou now has three pieces in his hands.

One piece was exchanged, one piece was exploded by a stone turtle - one piece was given to him by the ancestor Xian Zhou, and one piece was given to him by Yuan Daoshen.

Dishuidongtian is indeed a good place for both nurturing people and raising jade.

"Hahaha, Yulou, even though my piece of water jade is a little bigger than Elder Yuan's, you have to remember that Elder Yuan values you just as much.

Don’t you think so, Elder Yuan? "

Zhuochi took out a piece of water jade, placed it in his hand, showed it to the people around him, and then handed it to Yulou.

In this way, there are four pieces of water jade in the Jade Tower.

He was thinking that Xiaoyu's water jade magic weapon should be refined as soon as possible so that he could try it himself.

It’s simple, with four pieces of water jade in hand, you can explode!
Of course, Yulou also noticed Yuan Daoshen’s livid face, but Wang Jingyi spoke up to help him out.

"The gifts given by the elders in the sect are not high or low. They are all expectations and encouragements for you. Yulou, you must practice well and don't slack off!"

Fan Zhugao in the courtyard just wanted his beloved Master Zhuo to have some expectations and encouragement for him.

Master, I have been with you for so many years, serving you day and night.

Wu Faxian didn’t have so many random thoughts, and he didn’t have a master who was in the foundation-building stage.

"Old Fan, the exchange meeting will definitely work! It will definitely work!" Wu Faxian said in a voice transmission.

"Shut up! You're still transmitting messages in front of so many foundation-building monks, are you stupid?" Lao Fan quickly reminded.

In fact, he was worrying too much. Wang Jingyi and others were sitting there, and the foundation-building cultivators had to stand there and smile apologetically. How could they have the courage to use their spiritual sense to scan at will?

Lin Ying thought of something, as if, seemingly, possibly, perhaps... she was worrying too much about her Taoist partner.

A mere concubine-taking ceremony, thirteen people built a base, and the two major families in the sect wooed each other.

I don't think I'm worthy of Wang Yulou.
When Lin Hengtai sent out a piece of ninth-grade spiritual material, Lin Ying's feeling became more obvious.

No, ancestor, are we being a little stingy?

We in the Lin family also have two people who have established their foundation. Can’t we just give him a piece of eighth-grade spiritual material?

If you don’t have water jade, we can give you something else!

What’s the point of you giving me a piece of ninth-grade spiritual material?
Thinking of this, Lin Ying lowered her head.

The glow on Fellow Daoist Yulou is too dazzling after all!
