Chapter 731 - 506: Blind Date Meeting (Part 2)

As for the other mortal wives and concubines of Zheng Yi, Wang Manman never considered them important from the beginning. After getting married, everyone would live their own lives, the cultivators and the mortal world.

There wouldn’t be much interaction.

The sky gradually darkened.

Wang Manman came before her father.

The Great Elder saw this and asked, "How is it?"

"Father, your daughter is willing."

At this moment, Wang Manman’s demeanor was much more determined than before.

"That is the best outcome."

The Great Elder’s face rarely showed a trace of long-lost smile, "Daughter, you will not regret it.

In the Wang Family, only by marrying Zheng Yi can you achieve your original intention and go further.

Some matters.

As your father, I do not tell you because it is the rule set by the ancestors.

But marrying Zheng Yi is absolutely the greatest support your father can give you."

With the Great Elder’s words, Wang Manman felt increasingly confused, as if her thoughts were in chaos.

She admitted that Zheng Yi was indeed good, but the words of her father seemed a bit mysterious.

The Great Elder noticed his daughter’s thoughts, and then advised a few more things: "Remember, after marrying him, prioritize Zheng Yi in everything.

Do not belittle or insult him just because he has not yet broken through the late-stage Qi Refining.

If you marry a chicken, follow a chicken; if you marry a dog, follow a dog. Listen to his will in all things, and do not show your temper as a young lady, understood?"

Anyone unaware might think the Great Elder was selling his daughter, rather than marrying her off.

To Wang Manman, she thought she was marrying down, not reaching high.

But she understood her father’s character.

Knew there must be a reason for all this, perhaps she was indeed reaching high, not marrying down.

Wang Manman’s mind was in turmoil, yet before she could speak to inquire, the Great Elder solemnly looked at her, more serious than ever, waved his sleeve, and said: "Remember everything I just told you.

If you offend Zheng Yi, your father cannot protect you, and you might even be expelled from the family and removed from the family registry.

If it comes to a point of utter ruin, the Clan Leader, myself as the Great Elder, your Second Elder, and even the ancestors, will side with Zheng Yi."

The Great Elder’s words could only go this far.

Going further might touch the taboos of the ancestors.

Though he holds absolute authority within the family, in front of the ancestors, he is insignificant, especially with Zheng Yi, who is poised to become a Second-grade Alchemist in the future.

His position is no longer indispensable as before.

"Yes, father, your daughter understands."

Wang Manman’s heart fell with trepidation and replied at once.

"Very good."

The Great Elder nodded with satisfaction.

Three days later, the marriage was arranged.

This time, it would be conducted with a splendid and elaborate ceremony, ten miles of red makeup, with the rites being even more cumbersome and luxurious than those of Master Zhang before.

On the day of the grand wedding.

Early in the morning, Zheng Yi left the courtyard, first strolling around the Wang Family’s station outside Piaomiao Mountain, then visiting the Immortal Seedling Area, and took a turn around near Piaomiao Mountain.

It wasn’t until around 7:00 AM that he arrived at the Great Elder’s manor to escort the bride.

Afterward, followed a series of Wang Family’s customary procedures.

This wedding banquet was attended by the Clan Leader, the Great Elder, the Second Elder, and other elders, emphasizing its ceremonial importance and significance, leaving everyone present astonished.

Within Piaomiao Mountain.

Staring at the scene before his eyes, Wang Xing was dumbfounded, speechless for a long while.

A glimmer of shock flashed in Bai Mosheng’s eyes, he thought to himself: "Is this the value of a Third-grade Alchemist within the family?"

His sister Bai Ling’Er was even more in disbelief.

That Zheng Yi, as a Third-grade Alchemist, could actually marry the cherished daughter of the Wang family’s prominent Great Elder, and this Wang Manman herself also possesses a Mid-grade Spirit Root.

And now her realm has even reached the eighth layer Qi Refining, with a trace of possibility to break into the Foundation Establishment Realm.

Had she not seen it with her own eyes, she would’ve certainly thought it was a rumor.

"When did the world turn like this, that a woman could actually marry down?"

Bai Ling’Er was filled with confusion.

As they were all shocked, Wang Lei appeared before them, saying leisurely: "A Third-grade Alchemist does not possess such tremendous capability; the key is in Zheng Yi himself."

Wang Lei’s words further enhanced the weight of Zheng Yi’s identity, leaving everyone present unable to recover for a long time, speechless in their shock.

Having dealt with the affairs in the front hall, Zheng Yi came to the new room.

At this time.

The moon outside was deep, the night alluring.

After drinking the wedding wine.

Zheng Yi looked at Wang Manman, who was dressed in a wedding gown, and said, "My dear, rest assured, I will not let you down."

Wang Manman looked like a peach blossom, her face delicate.

She still carried a hint of a mature woman’s charm.

Zheng Yi’s heart couldn’t help but stir, he flipped over and descended.

That night, the two did not use the Dual Cultivation Technique, yet were still entangled and enigmatic.

During the process, Zheng Yi gained some harvest.

"Absorb Pure Yin Qi, lifespan plus fifty."

"Absorb Pure Yin Qi, lifespan plus one hundred fifty."

"Absorb Pure Yin Qi, lifespan plus one hundred."

"Absorb Pure Yin Qi, ’Celestial Cloud Technique’ spiritual qi plus seventy."

"Absorb Pure Yin Qi, ’Celestial Cloud Technique’ spiritual qi plus one hundred twenty."

...

This night.

For Zheng Yi, the gains were unprecedented.

After all, Wang Manman’s Mid-grade Spirit Root coupled with her eighth layer Qi Refining realm was, for Zheng Yi, the greatest opportunity since coming to the Four Corners of the Earth and joining the Wang Family on Piaomiao Mountain.

This night.

Wang Manman also completely transformed from a girl into a woman.

Days later, at home, the several wives got along harmoniously, though it also formed several small circles.

The few women like Wang Qingg who came first and didn’t have spirit roots grew closer to each other, and all three had each given birth to children.

While the newly settled Zhang Qingmiao, daughter of Master Zhang, and Wang Manman, because they both possessed spirit roots, would often discuss cultivation together.

Even after marrying Zheng Yi, enjoying the resources provided by him as a Third-grade Alchemist.

Wang Manman did not stop going out to carry out missions.

Although the frequency and number of times drastically reduced, she would still go out from time to time.

Zheng Yi did not prohibit her.

If she were to encounter misfortune outside, as her husband, it was only right to cultivate and seek out enemies for revenge.

If he didn’t even have this resolve, then why cultivate at all?

Should have been prepared long ago.

Zheng Yi had the same attitude not only towards Wang Manman but also towards his numerous wives.

He had no interest in maintaining a bunch of vases or a flock of idle canaries.

Time flies.

Before he knew it, half a year passed.

In the cultivation courtyard, beside Zheng Yi, the spirit-gathering array, paired with several mid-grade spirit stones, emitted a faint spiritual light, which Zheng Yi inhaled with each breath.

A faint spiritual power illuminated his body.

With a "boom," Zheng Yi’s mind buzzed, the corners of his mouth slightly turned up, successfully breaking through Qi Refining seventh layer.

Zheng Yi did not stop.

Continued absorbing external spiritual qi, using this spiritual qi opportunity, again opened the reserved space within his dantian.

He retrieved his Foundation Establishment Spirit Pill from last time.

Now with a sweep of his divine sense, a thread of a dim light appeared in the palm of his hand.

Zheng Yi’s eyes lit up, corners of his mouth with a trace of a smile, then placing it in the main bedroom space.

This way, also had some confidence.

Barely possessed decent self-protection strength.

Zheng Yi calmed his mind, focusing on stabilizing his realm.

Successfully breaking through to Qi Refining seventh layer.

After stepping into the late-stage Qi Refining, Zheng Yi went to the Alchemy Pavilion.

He listed the elixirs required for Second-grade Alchemist verification, spending only an afternoon, with a one hundred percent success rate, completed the refining of these elixirs.

And neatly placed them on the shelves before him.

Each elixir was carefully wrapped with jade bottles to ensure no spiritual qi leaked out.

This news quickly spread.

The clan’s waiting Great Elder, Second Elder, Clan Leader, and Master Zhang all rushed over.

They looked at the elixirs on the shelving.

Knew with Zheng Yi’s Third-grade Alchemist capabilities, refining these elixirs wasn’t challenging.

Zheng Yi looked at the few before him, lightly smiled as if all were casually done, then slowly said, "The family can prepare Second-grade Pill Recipes, best to start from the materials that are easier to gather, like elixirs used by Foundation Establishment Cultivators for cultivation."

Summary being that the easier, the better.
