[Ding!]
[You have collected Yan Zhenshan’s corpse and obtained a level 10 ancient spiritual weapon. After the system’s tenfold enhancement, you have obtained a low-grade Human Dao ancient spiritual weapon.]
[You have collected Lin Jiu’s corpse and got nothing.]
[You have collected Lin Xuanzhen’s corpse and obtained the Great Innate Sky Pill. After the system’s tenfold enhancement, you have obtained a bottle of Great Heavenly Cycle Pills. After consuming them, your cultivation will increase to the Heavenly Cycle realm.]
[You have collected Wei Qingsi’s body and got nothing.]
A series of notifications sounded in his mind.
Boom!
Following this, an ancient green seal and a bottle of Great Heavenly Cycle Pills instantly appeared in front of Lin Wudao.
[Name: Curled Dragon Seal]
[Level: Human Dao Ancient Spiritual Weapon]
[Rarity: Low-grade]
[Description: Obtained through the enhancement of a level 10 ancient spiritual weapon. After activation, it has the power to split mountains.]
[Name: Great Heavenly Cycle Pill]
[Level: Spirit pill]
[Quality: High grade]
[Description: After consumption, one’s cultivation can be raised to the early stage of the Heavenly Cycle Realm.]
“Not bad.”
Lin Wudao was satisfied after reading the introduction of the Curled Dragon Seal and the Great Heavenly Cycle Pill. Although he did not obtain anything from Lin Jiu and Wei Qingsi’s corpses, these two items were still acceptable. “There are a total of three Great Heavenly Cycle Pills in the bottle. After we get back, they can be used to increase Uncle Han and Zhao Mang’s strength. As for the Curled Dragon Seal, I’ll synthesize it and use it to increase the quality of the Sky-shaking Bell,” Lin Wudao calculated in his heart.
After that, he sat cross-legged on the ground and concentrated on cultivating.
The next day, early in the morning, Lin Wudao met up with the Mad Daoist and Qin Daofu. Then, the three of them headed straight for the Panlong family’s residence together.
The Lingyun Hall was the symbol of the power and status of the Panlong family. It was the most dignified hall in the residence.
Relying on the invisibility jade talisman, Lin Wudao and the other two quietly entered the hall. They looked up and saw that the grand hall was already filled with guests.
The surroundings were decorated with lanterns and streamers, and it was filled with a festive atmosphere.
“Looks like it’s very lively today…” The Mad Daoist said with a faint smile after sweeping his gaze around.
The seats were full. All the influential figures in the Panlong Ancient Family, or the factions that were on good terms with the Panlong family, had sent envoys to congratulate them.
This was because today was the day of the engagement between the eldest son of the Panlong family, Zhao Qinlong, and the eldest daughter of the Beihai family, Qi Qingyu.
At this moment, a dignified middle-aged man was already sitting at the highest seat of the Lingyun Palace.
His face was filled with joy.
This person was the current clan leader of the Panlong family, Zhao Tianxiong.
Now, he had already cultivated to the perfection of the Heavenly Cycle realm and was not too far away from breaking through to the Heaven Capture realm. “Brother Zhao, congratulations!”
“Congratulations, Clan Leader Zhao. Today, your son will be married to the eldest daughter of the Beihai family. They are a golden couple, a match made in heaven. They will definitely become a beautiful story in the future.”
“Brother Zhao, your good days are to come.”
“Congratulations, Brother Zhao!”
In the Lingyun Hall, many guests congratulated him with smiles on their faces.
Zhao Tianxiong also returned the greetings.
“The Beihai family has arrived.”
After an unknown amount of time, just as the hall was filled with laughter, a loud voice suddenly sounded from the distant sky.
Whoosh!
Immediately after, a dazzling stream of light streaked across the void and transformed into a huge spiritual boat that stopped in front of the Panlong family’s doors.
Many powerful figures stood on it.
The leader was a mid-stage Heavenly Cycle realm old man dressed in green. His name was Qi Zhentian, and he was a respected patriarch of the Beihai family.
Behind him was a woman in white who was devastatingly beautiful. Although her temperament was a little cold, her cultivation was extraordinary.
She had already reached perfection in the Innate Sky realm.
It was Qi Qingyu, the eldest daughter of the Beihai family.
“Hehe, the main character is here. Next, we just have to wait for a good show,”
The Mad Daoist said with a smile.
Soon after, he and Lin Wudao found a quiet place and waited to watch the show. As for Qin Daofu, he had snuck into the Lingyun Hall and was ready to act at any moment.
Neither the Panlong family nor the Beihai family noticed their existence.
Whoosh!
When the Beihai family arrived, Zhao Tianxiong, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately led his son Zhao Qinlong to the main door to welcome them.
“Welcome, patriarch. The Panlong family is honored for you to have graced your presence. Patriarch Zhentian, Qingyu, please come in,” Zhao Tianxiong greeted warmly.
Hearing this, Qi Zhentian turned his gaze to Zhao Qinlong. After examining him for a while, he nodded in satisfaction.
“Qinlong is indeed a talent. To think you have reached the Heavenly Cycle realm at such a young age. Your future is limitless. You are a match made in heaven with Qingyu.”
“Patriarch, you praise me too much.”
Zhao Qinlong was neither servile nor overbearing, and Qi Zhentian was increasingly satisfied.
However, in contrast to his smile, Qi Qingyu, who was following closely behind, remained silent. Her expression was also very calm.
She looked very cold.
“Qingyu, greet your Uncle Zhao. After the engagement ceremony, you will be the young madam of the Panlong family. You have to be prepared.”
At this moment, Qi Zhentian’s voice rang out. His words were full of warning.
“Greetings, Uncle Zhao.”
“Haha, hello. Patriarch Jingtian, Qingyu, please don’t just stand here. Let’s go in and talk.”
As he spoke, Zhao Tianxiong immediately led everyone to Lingyun Hall.
Whoosh!
With the arrival of Qi Zhentian and Qi Qingyu, the gazes of the guests instantly gathered on them.
“Clan leader, it’s almost time,” An elder in green bowed and reported. “Alright. Since the auspicious time has arrived, let the engagement ceremony begin.”
“Yes, sir.”
Rumble!
Accompanied by the deafening sound of firecrackers, Qi Zhentian and a patriarch of the Panlong family sat at the head of the hall together. They looked at Zhao Qinlong and Qi Qingyu with smiles.
“Today is just the engagement ceremony. We don’t have to do all those messy rituals. Let’s make it simple. Our two families will exchange the marriage contracts and go through the process. The rest of the time will be left for the young people.”
Qi Zhentian laughed.
“Mm, that’s good too. In that case, we will do as Brother Zhentian says.”
The Panlong family’s patriarch was a muscular man named Zhao Hanshan. He seemed to have a violent personality and was very forthright.
As soon as the two finished speaking, people from the Panlong family and the Beihai family immediately stood up and exchanged marriage certificates according to the etiquette and procedures of the cultivation world.
Seeing this, whether it was Zhao Hanshan, Qi Zhentian, or Zhao Tianxiong, all of them revealed brilliant smiles.
“From today onwards, our families are in-laws. From now on, we will share weal and woe, life and death,” Qi Zhentian said in a deep voice.
“Of course,” Zhao Hanshan replied solemnly.
At this point, under the witness of many guests, the Panlong family and the Beihai family became in-laws.
The interests of the two families were tightly tied together. They each took what they needed.
“Qinlong, Qingyu is new here. Take her to familiarize herself with the environment. In the meanwhile, we will discuss the date of the wedding and get this done as soon as possible.”
At this moment, Zhao Hanshan said.
“Yes.”
After taking the order, Zhao Qinlong left the Lingyun Palace with Qi Qingyu.
“The show is starting!”
Looking at their departing figures, the Mad Daoist began to snicker.
He had already seen Qin Daofu follow the two of them.
“Qingyu, let me show you around. I know you don’t have any feelings for me.
We’re in an arranged marriage, but this was decided by the patriarch and the others. It’s not something we can change. In the years to come, I will definitely treat you well and be a qualified husband,” Zhao Qinlong said sincerely. Hearing this, Qi Qingyu nodded without saying anything. Then, the two walked side by side. Along the way, Zhao Qinlong happily introduced the environment of the Panlong family to Qi Qingyu, as well as many strange stories.
However, they did not know that a strange figure had already quietly arrived behind them.
“Hello, both of you~”
Suddenly, Qin Daofu grinned and greeted him.
“You… Ah!”
Zhao Qinlong and Qi Qingyu turned around to see who it was. However, just as they turned around, Qin Daofu’s sandbag-sized fist greeted them.
Bang!
Bang!
Before Zhao Qinlong and Qi Qingyu could react, they were knocked unconscious.
Seeing this, Qin Daofu did not hesitate. He immediately put the two of them into a sack and left the Panlong family without anyone noticing..
