Three days later.
In front of a small city four million miles away from Tianyuan City, three streams of light flew over at high speed and stopped at the city gate in an instant.
"Seniors, please leave your names and the sects you belong to." A Yuanying stage soldier guarding the city said respectfully.
"Zhenling family, Ye Hong!" said a man with rouge and powder on his face with a slight smile.
"Ye family? I'm sorry for my disrespect to Young Master Ye. I hope you can forgive me." The soldier guarding the city shuddered and responded in a trembling voice.
Ye Hong just said "hmm" and didn't respond.
The soldier guarding the city quickly wrote down Ye Hong's name, and then looked at the other two Divine Transformation monks, one of whom had a thin appearance, a short beard, and wore a gray robe.
The other one was incredibly handsome, wearing a sky blue robe. His unparalleled charm alone would definitely attract the attention of female cultivators.
"Bi Hui, a disciple of the Yunxiao Sect." The gray-robed monk answered truthfully.
"Qi Yuan, a casual cultivator!" the handsome man said softly.
After receiving the message from Fellow Daoist Bi, Qi Yuan prepared all his matters and immediately set out to meet him, and together they flew to the small city called Gongcheng.
The city lord sitting inside has the cultivation level of the late stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm. He is also a good friend of Brother Bi, so the city lord is taking a concubine.
But it was beyond Qi Yuan's expectation that Ye Hong also followed him.
After leaving their names, the soldier guarding the city did not stop them and welcomed Qi Yuan and the other two in with enthusiasm.
Gongcheng is under the jurisdiction of Tianyuan City, and the order in the city can be effectively managed. We didn't encounter any bullying along the way.
"Brother Qi, I would say it would be great for you to marry into the Ye family. You can advance to a small realm every hundred years. Once the elders of the family know about it, they will definitely arrange a talented and beautiful female cultivator from the Ye family as your Taoist partner. In addition to being able to choose any spell you want, the cultivation resources will definitely be as satisfactory as possible."
Ye Hong glanced at the people around him, with surprise and envy still lingering in his eyes. He was also shocked when he met Qi Yuan before.
For a cultivator in the Spirit Transformation Stage to break through a small realm within a hundred years, both luck and talent are indispensable.
You have to know that many Jindan monks may not be able to reach the bottleneck even after practicing for hundreds of years, let alone a breakthrough?
Bi Hui stroked his mustache and said with envy, "Fellow Daoist Qi is very blessed. Not long after he ascended to the spirit world, he got a Ghost Mother Buddha's Hand elixir. Although it is a waste to refine it in advance, it is a breakthrough in cultivation within a hundred years, but there are gains and losses."
In order to fool the two of them, he naturally used the Ghost Mother Buddha's Hand as an excuse.
"Brother Ye, please don't persuade me anymore. I really have no intention of marrying into my family. Brother Bi is right, but it is not a big loss to be able to break through my cultivation." Qi Yuan said with a smile on his face.
With the breath-concealing technique he was currently practicing, he could naturally hide from the eyes of cultivators of the same level, so Ye Hong and the other person did not know the real situation.
“Hehe, that Ghost Mother Buddha’s Hand is an elixir for breaking through the bottleneck of the Void Refining Stage. It’s just that it will take too long to refine it until the late stage of the Spirit Transformation Stage. It is also a good idea to focus on the present.” Bi Hui said with a slightly changed expression.
The three of them were talking to each other, and soon they flew to a city lord's mansion. Its grandeur was comparable to that of an imperial palace, and the walls were covered with reliefs of dragons and phoenixes.
Patrol teams flew by from time to time. Even if their cultivation was low, it was not something that ordinary cultivators could just force their way in.
The several-meter-wide gate of the mansion was now hung with red cloth and posted with wedding characters, and five Nascent Soul cultivators were greeting the guests outside.
Every now and then, a cultivator in the God Transformation Stage would walk into the City Lord's Mansion holding a wedding invitation.
"Butler Mo, this is the invitation, can you take a look?" Bi Hui stepped forward, took out a gold-stamped invitation from his arms and handed it over, while also delivering a gift.
The tone was neither polite nor condescending.
An old man in a silk robe said with a smile: "Senior Bi, my city lord was just talking about you a few days ago. Please take a seat..." Then he saw the unfamiliar faces of Ye Hong and Qi Yuan, and just asked symbolically. Seeing that they also had invitations to the wedding banquet, after accepting the gifts, he welcomed them into the mansion together.
The mayor of Gongcheng is named Tiansha Zhenren. It is said that he has a trace of Jingsha clan blood in his body, and he also practices the improved monster clan magic. His strength is among the best in the same level.
The guests who came to the banquet this time were mostly cultivators in the Spirit Transformation Stage, with a few Nascent Soul Stage cultivators mixed in. However, judging from their temperaments, they did not seem like casual cultivators, so it was very likely that they had family backgrounds.
As soon as he entered the mansion, Bi Hui was pulled away by several familiar fellow Taoists. The same happened to Ye Hong. When someone recognized his identity, a group of cultivators immediately surrounded him.
Qi Yuan found a seat at random and sat down, waiting for the ceremony to end and looking forward to the trade fair.
If he could find a suitable breath-concealing technique, after returning to the team, he would consider whether he should take on another mission from the Elders' Council?
Going on a mission once a year is not a solution.
But in this way, his situation would become more conspicuous and would be detrimental to the safety of his life.
Is there any ascended monk who, upon arriving in the spiritual world, not only achieved a breakthrough in cultivation, but also repeatedly completed the tasks assigned by the Elders' Council?
Taking on missions is no longer feasible, so the only option is to use your connections.
He would go and ask Master Wang if there was any good way to leave Tianyuan City early.
About an hour later, Ye Hong returned quietly.
Qi Yuan glanced at him without saying much. He drank two cups with him and then sat quietly.
"The auspicious time has arrived, please invite the newlyweds in." Suddenly a festive voice sounded.
At the circular archway, two monks in wedding clothes suddenly stepped forward together. The female monk had her head covered with a red cloth, which had the effect of blocking spiritual consciousness.
As a result, outsiders cannot see her face clearly, but her figure is naturally graceful.
As for that day Shark Master, he had a rough face, with a hint of fierceness in the corners of his eyes. He was tall and sturdy, and he walked with great vigor and momentum.
"Fellow Daoist Tiansha, congratulations."
Someone immediately stood up and clasped his fists and said.
“Haha, please take a seat, Brother Miao.” Taoist Tiansha smiled generously.
Qi Yuan simply congratulated him and dealt with it casually. After all, there were so many cultivators present to greet and the other party had no time to delve into the matter.
After that, they worshipped in the hall and everyone just ate and drank.
It was not until the evening that a servant took Qi Yuan somewhere.
This place is quiet and remote, but not far away there is a circular light curtain condensed in the void, and no one knows where it leads to.
"Senior, the trade fair is held inside, please feel free to do as you please." The servant said respectfully.
Qi Yuan nodded slightly, his eyes flashing with black and white light. Seeing dozens of yin and yang auras lingering at the entrance, he knew in his heart that he had come to the right place.
Then the figure flashed and disappeared directly into the light curtain, and in the blink of an eye he arrived at an unfamiliar place.
Bi Hui came back once and was taken away again.
Ye Hong left for something not long ago and has not returned yet.
So he came to the treasure fair alone. (End of this chapter)
