Mysterious mirror hanging high

Today, Jing Yu's talent in alchemy is considered extraordinary, and he is still adept at making foundation-building pills. However, his skills in puppetry are somewhat lagging behind.

The alchemy puppets were made carelessly. If it weren't for the extremely profound [True Explanation of Puppetry: Foundation Building] left by the Taoist Nine Lives, which had a high tolerance rate, the quality of the pills produced by these puppets would have been greatly affected.

As for the so-called [Flesh and Blood Puppet], Jing Yu had no idea what it was and even had a lot of difficulties getting started.

Due to his very ordinary aptitude in puppetry, Jing Yu planned to slowly reveal some of the skills of refining puppet parts to Wu Buchun in the future, asking him to help him overcome these technical difficulties, and finally complete the relatively simple assembly and splicing process himself.

Even if a higher level of trust is established, some ordinary combat puppets that can be seen in public can be completely handed over to Wu Buchun for production. Otherwise, having such a powerful puppet inheritance without the corresponding qualifications is useless.

Unless Jing Yu spends ten times or even dozens of times more time on research and improvement, this inheritance will just be a pearl in his hands covered in dust.

A few days later, it was the auspicious day for Yuwen Xiaojin and Hu Yueqiu's wedding.

On this day, the Yuwen family was decorated with lights and it was very lively.

From the cave of Master Yueqiu to the residence of Yuwen Xiaojin, the whole way was filled with red dowry for ten miles. The spiritual resources that served as dowry were loaded down with loads and pieces, shining brightly and looking so precious that the monks who were watching the excitement on the roadside could not take their eyes off them.

Jing Yu sat in the VIP seat of the Yuwen family's wedding banquet early. Looking around, he found that Yuwen Xiaojin and Hu Yueqiu were still nowhere to be seen. However, many foundation-building cultivators from the Immortal City had come one after another and were whispering to each other.

Some people were whispering in secret, so Jing Yu naturally didn't know what they were saying. But there were also people who just set up a soundproofing formation and then spoke. In such cases, Jing Yu was not polite and quietly used the probing ability of the [Xuan Jing] to listen to what was going on at the foot of the wall.

"Everyone says that the young master of the Yuwen family is handsome and elegant, a romantic and suave man, and has many debts of love. Why did he change his mind now and get married so hastily?"

"That's right. They say the whole process, from exchanging engagement letters, matching horoscopes, signing engagement documents, and choosing an auspicious date, went incredibly fast! Everything was finalized in just a few days."

"Fellow Daoist, you may not know that a few months ago, True Lord Yanjun severely injured the Immortal Alliance leader, True Lord Baoding, with a single blow, and then killed another young master of the Yuwen family with a single glare. Now, the only capable person left in the Yuwen family is this young master Yuwen Xiaojin."

"Originally, the Yuwen family, with Master Baoding in charge, was truly the number one family in Xiancheng. But now that Master Baoding is gone, there's no longer a Jindan cultivator in the family. God knows what Master Baoding's situation is like now, whether he's alive or dead. He might have already been caught up by Master Baoding and killed with a single sword strike!"

"As long as there's no news about Master Baoding, the Yuwen family will never be at peace. The foundation of the family is shaky."

"At this time of upheaval, as the next head of the family, Yuwen Xiaojin had no choice but to ask for the hand in marriage of Master Yueqiu in order to stabilize the Yuwen family's precarious position."

"Sigh... The Yuwen family was so powerful back then, yet now they have to resort to marriage to bring in a non-Chinese to maintain order?"

"Who says not? But Master Yueqiu is also an infatuated seed. After all, Master Yuwen is only in the late stage of foundation building now. His talent is mediocre among the direct descendants of the aristocratic family. It is hard to say whether he can hope to achieve Dan in the future. His body of a master is already considered a good match."

"What can we do? It's because I have a good-looking appearance!" said a rather ugly foundation-building cultivator sourly.

"Actually, there's nothing we can do about it. After all, the four major sects and the Xiaoyao Alliance are currently at war. Most of Young Master Yuwen's close female friends are members of the sect's Golden Core Seeds. Could they possibly betray their own sect and marry into the Yuwen family? Young Master Yuwen doesn't have many options left."

"Isn't there Fairy Lingjun? She also seems to be in love with Master Yuwen!"

"Hush... Fairy Lingjun is the junior sister of Master Yueqiu. We can't discuss the affairs of her sect. Don't be afraid of Master Yuehua giving you a bad look."

Jing Yu followed the gazes of the others and saw Wan Lingjun, dressed in an emerald green spiritual robe, sitting alone at a table, drinking alone.

Jing Yu walked over. Wan Lingjun seemed to sense something and looked up with a look of joy: "Master Xuan Jing! Come, have a drink with me."

Jing Yu sat next to Wan Lingjun, and when he saw the wine glass she handed over, he smiled bitterly.

Fairy Lingjun is not a good drinker. If she gets drunk and makes a scene at the wedding banquet, it will be embarrassing for everyone.

He took a sip of the spirit wine, but was slightly stunned.

"How can this be considered wine? It's clearly just a spiritual drink without any alcohol."

Just after taking a sip, he felt a bitter and spicy taste rushing straight to his head: "Hiss... Is there chili pepper or some other strange spice added to this?"

Wan Lingjun smiled bitterly and said, "On the day of Brother Yuwen and Senior Sister's wedding, how dare Lingjun drink and ruin things?"

"Fairy Lingjun, you can do it." Jing Yu looked at Wan Lingjun with a new respect: "After going through a life-and-death crisis in the Langhuo Blessed Land, you have become much more experienced in the ways of the world."

Wan Lingjun's face was filled with sorrow as he drank another cup of spiritual drink. "Brother Yuwen... he was actually forced to do so. If Lingjun were in his place, I'm afraid he would make the same choice as Brother Yuwen for the sake of his family."

"But Senior Sister got what she wanted. I... I am very happy for her too."

Jing Yu looked at Wan Lingjun with disdain, thinking to himself, "Anyway, whatever your elder brother Yuwen does, he has his reasons. Damn, is it shameful for a Foundation Establishment cultivator to marry a Jindan True Immortal? Look how you feel about Yuwen Xiaojin."

"Two newcomers have arrived!"

While everyone was talking, Yuwen Xiaojin and Hu Yueqiu walked in hand in hand.

After all, it was a monk's wedding, so there were no cumbersome formalities like those of ordinary people, and many procedures were not routine. The two of them just wore a bright red wedding dress, walked in with smiles on their faces, and greeted all the guests.

Yuwen Xiaojin was fine, after all, he was just a Foundation Establishment cultivator, but Hu Yueqiu was a genuine Golden Core True Person! How could a Foundation Establishment cultivator neglect him? They all stood up quickly and saluted.

"Master Yueqiu, Master Yuwen, congratulations!"

"congratulations!"

Amidst the flattery, the two newlyweds quickly arrived in front of Jing Yu and Wan Lingjun's table. Seeing Wan Lingjun's pale face, she seemed to be stunned. Jing Yu had no choice but to stand up and cover for her, saying loudly:

"Master Yueqiu, Fellow Daoist Xiaojin, your wedding today is a great joy. Xuanjingju Immortal City has relied heavily on the care of the Yuwen family over the years. I would like to congratulate you both on your journey to immortality, and wish you everlasting prosperity and love!"
