Chapter 576: If you want to be rich, accept more gifts, Five Elements Mirror!
On this day, Qingyun Sect was glorious and bustling.
The huge square made of white jade is like a fairyland in the Yaochi Lake, decorated with lights, flowers and filled with rosy clouds.
On the crystal clear jade table, various delicacies are arranged in an orderly manner, filled with fragrance, accompanied by fine wines, spiritual fruits and pastries, showing the luxury and exquisiteness.
Those who were able to take a seat at the table had to have at least the foundation-building level of cultivation, and were dressed in brocade and jade robes. The scene was extremely grand.
clang!
铛
clang!
Just then, a bell rang.
The masters of various peaks of Qingyun Sect, elders, high-ranking officials, and Jindan Zhenren of other forces all took their seats.
"The Taoist Couple Ceremony has officially begun!"
Above the platform, the head of the Qingyun sect, who was dressed in a Qingyun robe and had a dignified face, spoke in a loud voice.
As the words fell, spiritual light surged in the heaven and earth, clouds billowed, and auspicious cranes and beasts surrounded them, and melodious fairy music drifted in.
Then, colorful rainbow lights intertwined to form two rainbow bridges, stretching to Caiyun Peak and Lu Changsheng's cave, sacred and magnificent.
Lu Changsheng, who was dressed in a blue cloud qilin brocade robe and looked handsome as if he had been banished from heaven, and Xiao Xiyue, who was dressed in a blue cloud phoenix robe and looked like a fairy under the moon, came walking on the rainbow bridge.
However, next to Xiao Xiyue, there was another girl who looked 70% similar to her, with picturesque eyebrows and eyes, bright and charming, and wearing colorful clothes and feathered robes.
"This Taoist Couple Ceremony is truly grand and magnificent!"
"Both of them have reached the stage of elixir formation at the age of 100, and have a promising future. Now that they have become Taoist companions, it is a rare occasion in a century, so it must be celebrated in a grand manner."
"Hey, who is the woman next to Senior Uncle Xiyue? They look somewhat similar."
"Could she be the sister of Fairy Xiyue? I've never heard that she has any sisters?"
"This woman seems to be Lu Wangshu, the daughter of Changsheng Zhenren and his wife Lu Miaoge. She is also the successor of Changsheng Zhenren's talisman art."
"Some people have previously rumored that this Lu Wangshu is actually the daughter of Master Xiyue. Now it seems that this is most likely true."
"What? Fairy Xiyue's daughter is already this big!"
"This Master Lu is really good at hiding his true identity. He and Fairy Xiyue's daughter are now this old."
"Both my parents are Jindan Zhenren. If I could marry this Fairy Wangshu, wouldn't I be able to save thirty years of hard work?"
The guests present or the disciples of Qingyun Sect were very surprised to see Lu Wangshu next to Xiao Xiyue.
Not to mention them, when the ceremony was finalized the day before yesterday, Chu Qingyi and Sect Leader Qingyun were both stunned when they saw Lu Wangshu.
Unexpectedly, not only did they stay together for life, but their daughter has grown up so much.
At that moment, Master Qingyun understood why Master Caiyun agreed to their marriage.
After all, they already have a daughter, so how can they be separated?
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Lu Changsheng and Xiao Xiyue met at Hongqiao.
Then, under the respectful, envious and admiring looks of countless people, the two of them held hands and walked towards the hall at the end of the square.
The process of this Taoist couple ceremony is not complicated and is very similar to a secular wedding ceremony.
The first bow is to thank the great Dao for its favor and for giving me spiritual roots and the fate of becoming an immortal.
The second bow is to thank the sect for allowing me to enter the Tao!
Although Lu Changsheng is not a disciple of Qingyun Sect.
But as a guest elder of Qingyun Sect, when a grand ceremony was held in Qingyun Sect, he would naturally worship the portrait of the founder of Qingyun Sect together with Xiao Xiyue.
The third bow is when the Taoist couple bows to each other.
It means that from now on, we will walk together, support each other, and share weal and woe!
"I bow to the Great Dao and thank the Great Dao for its favor, which has enabled us to escape from the multitude of living beings and enter the path of immortality!"
As the etiquette elder sang loudly, Lu Changsheng and Xiao Xiyue bowed towards the sky with solemn expressions.
"God is above. Today, I, Lu Changsheng, and Xiao Xiyue become Taoist companions. From now on, we will share the same path to immortality, advance hand in hand, and never be separated in our lives."
"God is above. I, Xiao Xiyue, and Lu Changsheng will become Taoist companions. From now on, we will share the same path to immortality, advance hand in hand, and never be separated in our lives."
At this moment, the two looked at each other.
Xiao Xiyue is cold and peerless, like a lone moon in the sky. She looks like melting ice and snow, with curved eyebrows and eyes full of tenderness and joy. One glance will last for a lifetime.
Seventy-nine years ago, the two came to Qingyun Sect together to take the assessment.
At that time, Lu Changsheng was a young farmer, and she was a young lady from a scholarly family.
No one expected that seventy-nine years later, the two of them, as Jindan Zhenren, would hold a Taoist Couple Ceremony in Qingyun Sect!
The head of Qingyun on the Taoist platform, Chu Qingyi and others sighed in their hearts when they saw Xiao Xiyue, who was usually very cold and aloof, had such an expression.
They realized that the relationship between Xiao Xiyue and Lu Changsheng was much deeper than they had imagined.
Chu Qingyi, in particular, felt inexplicably beating and bitter in her heart when she saw the two people who looked like a couple of gods.
As the etiquette elder sang loudly, the two of them bowed solemnly towards the portrait of the ancestor in the hall, and finally the couple bowed to each other.
"It is an auspicious day, and heaven and earth celebrate together. Today, Lu Changsheng and Xiao Xiyue have a mutual understanding of the Tao, and the Great Dao has witnessed that they have become Taoist companions in the Qingyun Sect. I wish that your immortal paths will be broad, your love will be deep and lasting, and that you will cultivate together for countless calamities, attain immortality, glorify the immortal sect, and bring blessings to the world for eternity!"
At this time, the head of Qingyun Sect also stepped forward and shouted loudly, using his magical power to spread throughout the entire Qingyun Sect, announcing that the two people's wedding ceremony was over and the grand ceremony was completed.
"Congratulations to Immortal Changsheng and Immortal Xiyue for becoming Taoist companions. May you be together forever and have a prosperous path to immortality!"
"Congratulations to Immortal Changsheng and Immortal Xiyue for becoming Taoist companions. May you be together forever and have a prosperous path to immortality!"
All the guests and disciples of Qingyun Sect raised their glasses and sang in unison, or bowed in greeting, their voices reaching the sky.
At the same time, above the entire square, there were brilliant rays of light, thousands of auspicious colors, brocade clouds, and flying flowers, celebrating for the two people.
"Thank you, Sect Master! Thank you, fellow Taoists!"
Lu Changsheng and Xiao Xiyue returned the greetings to the Qingyun Sect leader, the Qingyun Sect elders, and other guests, as well as the Jindan Zhenren above them.
"As Taoist companions, we must be one from now on, share weal and woe, support each other, and seek immortality."
At this time, the Grand Elder of Qingyun Sect stepped forward, smiled, encouraged, and then presented a personal gift.
Although Lu Changsheng and Xiao Xiyue became Taoist partners, it was equivalent to Xiao Xiyue protecting the Lu family.
But at the same time, they also tied up Lu Changsheng, a Jindan Zhenren with great potential, and brought him to their Qingyun Sect.
"Thank you, Grand Elder!"
Lu Changsheng and Xiao Xiyue bowed respectfully and took the storage bag.
This Taoist Couple Ceremony was hosted by the Qingyun Sect, and all the intercourse and preparation of drinks were contracted by the Qingyun Sect, so they could only get 50% of the gifts.
But this kind of personal gift will go directly into the pockets of the two people.
However, only this supreme elder is relatively generous.
All the other Jindan cultivators had sent gifts, but no one prepared another one privately.
After the ceremony, it is not the bridal chamber that begins, but the wedding banquet.
The newlyweds Lu Changsheng and Xiao Xiyue began to toast.
"Wangshu, you should also offer a toast to our master."
"Wangshu, this is Master Baiyun, your master."
During the toasting process, Xiao Xiyue introduced the elders of the sect and the Jindan Zhenren to her daughter.
Originally, Xiao Xiyue had broken through to the Jindan stage and should have been of the same generation as them.
But many of them are of the same generation as her master, Zhenren Caiyun, so she is a little shorter in generation.
"Wangshu meets the Grandmaster."
Lu Wangshu followed his parents, smiling sweetly and bowing obediently.
"As expected of you, the daughter of Immortal Changsheng and Junior-Junior Naughty Xiyue, you are truly a gift from the heaven and earth. This is a gift from the Grandmaster to you."
Although these people will not give Lu Changsheng and Xiao Xiyue a personal gift.
But when seeing a junior like Lu Wangshu, he would still give him a small gift as a greeting gift.
"Your daughter has beautiful skin and delicate features, and she will become a great person in the future!"
"Wangshu, you can come to Qingyun Sect more often in the future. If you need any elixir, you can come directly to Uncle Master."
No matter whether it was the Jindan Zhenren, Jiadan Zhenren, or guests from various major forces of Qingyun Sect, they were all very friendly to Lu Wangshu, praising him and giving him gifts.
After all, bringing this daughter to such a grand occasion, one can imagine how favored she is.
Some people even secretly sent messages to their younger generations, asking them to interact more with Lu Wangshu.
If I could form a bond with Lu Wangshu, my chances of forming a pill would increase by at least 30% in the future!
"Master Changsheng, Master Xiyue, this is a small token of my appreciation."
The ancestor of the Wang family came in person to present gifts.
He seemed to be in much better physical condition than before. He spoke with full energy and handed a storage bag to Lu Changsheng.
But Lu Changsheng knew that this Old Ancestor Wang must have used some secret method to deliberately show his condition, and there was a high probability that he would pass away after returning.
"Thank you, Brother Wang."
Lu Changsheng drank a cup with him and said that the two families could interact more often in the future.
After the important guests had finished their toasts, the high-level cultivators above the false elixir level left one after another.
Only the disciples, deacons, elders of Qingyun Sect, or representatives of the family forces under Qingyun's rule were left, toasting, discussing Taoism, and chatting happily.
When Lu Changsheng saw Chu Qingyi leaving, he sighed inwardly.
Then he toasted Xiao Xiyue and the guests who were familiar with Bihu Mountain, said a few polite words, and then said goodbye and left.
As for his daughter Lu Wangshu, she would be here to entertain people on his and Xiao Xiyue's behalf and get to know more people at the same time.
After all, those who can sit here are either the core members of Qingyun Sect, true disciples, or representatives of major forces under the rule of Qingyun Sect.
There is no harm in my daughter getting to know these people, and it will give her an extra layer of protection when she goes out in the future.
However, seeing Lu Changsheng and Xiao Xiyue leaving, many Qingyun Sect disciples immediately came forward to show their courtesy.
"Junior Sister Lu has just arrived at Qingyun Sect. If you are not familiar with it, I can take you around."
"I heard that Junior Sister Lu is proficient in the art of talismans and is a talisman master. I also know a thing or two about the art of talismans."
"I have heard of Miss Wangshu's name in my early years. Seeing is believing."
The purpose of these disciples, both men and women, is self-evident.
After all, for someone like Lu Wangshu, both his parents are Jindan Zhenren, he is definitely the second generation of immortals!
And in addition to the relationship with his parents, he himself is also extremely talented and is a top-level second-level talisman master.
Compared with female practitioners, the goals of most male practitioners are very direct.
There were even people who had secretly loved Xiao Xiyue for many years in their early years, but now their emotions had shifted and they were projecting their love onto Lu Wangshu.
However, as Lu Changsheng's beloved daughter, Lu Wangshu has had a different perspective than ordinary people over the years and completely looks down on these people.
If she wanted to find her ideal husband, even if he wasn't as good as her father, he should at least be better than her younger brother, the number one fighter Lu Lingxiao, right?
If someone appeared in Bihu Mountain who could defeat Lu Lingxiao, Lu Qingshan, and her elder brother Lu Ping'an, she thought it was not impossible to consider it.
Lu Changsheng and Xiao Xiyue returned to Caiyun Peak. Mingyue sat at the back and opened the personal gift given by the Grand Elder.
Inside was a secret book on dual cultivation and two low-grade magic weapons.
Although it is only a low-grade magic weapon.
But it can be seen that it is not an ordinary good product, but a fine magic weapon.
"After refining, the Eight-Direction Mysterious Spirit Umbrella can form eight different mysterious spiritual treasure lights of different attributes, which are not easily restrained by magical powers and magic weapons."
"The Hundred Refinements Fire Cloud Shuttle is made from Earth Fire Essence Crystals, Wind Spirit Silk, and Red Flame Fire. It can use wind and fire to escape, and can also trigger blazing fire clouds to attack."
There are also introductions for these two magical weapons. For cultivators who have just broken through to the Jindan stage, they are already precious gifts.
"Xiyue, please keep these two magic weapons."
Lu Changsheng has no shortage of magic weapons now, or rather, he has no shortage of lower-grade magic weapons.
"I broke through to the Jindan stage before and entered the sect's treasury. I have already selected a magic weapon, so this Eight Directions Mysterious Spirit Umbrella is of no use to me."
Xiao Xiyue raised her hand slightly, and a ball of misty shawl appeared in her palm, indicating that she had a magical defensive weapon.
"It's okay, just keep it. I won't be able to use it."
There is never too much magic weapon.
However, from here we can see the benefits of having a sect's power.
For ordinary casual cultivators, how could they afford to buy a second magic weapon in the early stage?
Most of the resources will be used to upgrade your own magic weapon.
Afterwards, Lu Changsheng opened the storage bag given to him by the ancestor of the Wang family.
Inside was a jade slip, many elixirs, spiritual stones, and two magic weapons.
Lu Changsheng looked at the two magic weapons.
They are a five-colored jade pendant and a five-colored treasure mirror respectively.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, such a lonely family actually has a middle-grade magic weapon and a high-grade magic weapon."
"And these two magic weapons are obviously a set, but whoever refines the magic weapon should prioritize refining the jade pendant and the mirror."
Lu Changsheng saw that this was the magic weapon inherited from the Wang family.
In addition to these two items, the Wang family should have other magic weapons, but they just didn't want to give them to me.
But this is normal.
Although the Wang family is in decline, they still want to give it a try and produce a Jindan Zhenren.
If you give away all the family's wealth and a Jindan cultivator appears, you will regret it to death.
"It seems that these aristocratic families that have been passed down for thousands of years should not be underestimated."
"The resources accumulated by their ancestors are far beyond others' imagination."
"As long as there is a Jindan Zhenren who controls these magic weapons, he will be invincible at the same level!"
Lu Changsheng thought to himself.
The two magic weapons have probably not been used for a long time, and the lack of mana nourishment has caused a slight decrease in their spiritual power.
"Changsheng, what is this!?"
Xiao Xiyue was very surprised to find out that this was the storage bag that the ancestor of the Wang family gave to Lu Changsheng.
Why would the other party send such a valuable gift?
"I made a deal with the ancestor of the Wang family before."
Lu Changsheng briefly told the story between himself and the ancestor of the Wang family.
"Five Elements Body!?"
Xiao Xiyue opened her red lips slightly, a little surprised.
You know, the Five Elements Body is a top-level spiritual body, and the improvement in cultivation can even help in breaking through the Nascent Soul stage.
Lu Xuanqian has a body of five elements, let alone a breakthrough to the Nascent Soul stage.
But as long as there are no accidents and the elixir is aborted halfway, it is almost certain to form the elixir, and it is very likely to be a top-grade golden elixir!
"Well, only you and I know about this."
Lu Changsheng played with the magic weapon in his hand and said in a low voice.
He possesses the Five Elements Yuanhe Sutra. If he refines these two magic weapons, he can use them directly and unleash most of their power.
However, the two magic weapons sent by the Wang family's ancestor were obviously prepared for Lu Xuanqian.
A five-element jade pendant like this one not only has the passive function of protecting its owner, but also has the effect of calming the mind and increasing the five-element magic power.
He looked at the jade slip in the storage bag again.
It records some tips on the five elements, as well as some of the cultivation experiences and insights of the Wang family's first ancestor.
This information is extremely valuable.
Everyone has heard of the effects of the five elements.
But few people know the specific situation.
In particular, the cultivation insights of a person who has practiced the Five Elements can be of great help to future generations and help them avoid many detours.
In addition to these, the ancestor of the Wang family said that his family also had some insights into the practice of the Five Elements and the Hunyuan Five Elements Sutra, and he could ask Lu Xuangan to visit the Wang family in the future.
As for the spirit stones for the elixirs, their total value was only about two or three hundred thousand spirit stones, which Lu Changsheng did not take seriously.
But I think it was also prepared by the ancestor of the Wang family for Lu Xuanqian, hoping that the latter would remember this favor.
"Compared to these, it would not be a loss if he could protect the Wang family in the future."
Lu Changsheng let out a light breath and put the things back into the storage bag, realizing that the ancestor of the Wang family had invested a huge amount of money.
If he wasn't about to pass away, the Wang family would be left with no way out, and now there's another person with the Five Elements Body. Given his personality, it's impossible for him to spend so much money.
"Xiyue, this secret method given by the Grand Elder looks quite exquisite."
At this time, Lu Changsheng looked at the secret method of dual cultivation given by the Supreme Elder and smiled at Xiao Xiyue.
After a while, the cave was filled with spring.
A few days later, the Taoist couple ceremony ended.
Lu Changsheng prepared to go back and find the headmaster with Xiao Xiyue to settle the gift.
The other party did not argue with him and directly gave them the booklet recording the gifts for them to read.
I have to say, Qingyun Sect has a lot of reputation!
The gifts received at this Taoist Couple Ceremony, converted into spirit stones, are estimated to be six or seven million, which instantly surpasses his previous Jindan Ceremony.
Moreover, the gifts sent by forces such as Luoxia Sect, Yuling Sect, Tianjian Sect, and Danxia Mountain are all priceless treasures.
Although Qingyun Sect gets 50% of the profits, due to the interpersonal relationships, busy preparations, returning gifts, etc., they don't actually make much.
Of course, if we take into account the reputation, word of mouth and influence brought by this Taoist Couple Ceremony, Qingyun Sect will not lose out at all.
"Tsk tsk tsk, it turns out that the real way to make money is to accept gifts and make the biggest profit."
"If I marry a wife and take a concubine every now and then, wouldn't I be overwhelmed?"
Lu Changsheng sighed inwardly.
However, this kind of behavior is tantamount to ruining and overdrawing one's own reputation.
If someone comes occasionally, everyone is willing to give him face and prepare a generous gift.
After so many times, other forces will no longer be treated as leeks.
Lu Changsheng looked through the gift book and picked out a few items he needed. As for the rest, he said that they could be given directly to Xiao Xiyue after the sect had settled the accounts.
This attitude also made the head of Qingyun Sect nod secretly, realizing that Lu Changsheng was not a person who liked to take advantage of others.
Lu Changsheng named his third-level cave in Qingyun Sect Changsheng Pavilion.
He came to Changsheng Pavilion and found his daughter Lu Wangshu, asking her whether she wanted to go home or continue staying in Qingyun Sect.
"go back!"
Lu Wangshu said immediately.
These days, she felt like she was being annoyed to death.
"How was your fun these days?"
Seeing his daughter like this, Lu Changsheng rubbed her black hair.
"Is boring."
Lu Wangshu curled his lips and said.
Before this, she thought that the disciples of Qingyun Sect were so powerful.
But after these days of contact and understanding, I feel it is just average.
Ordinary inner and outer disciples are not much stronger than their own children.
As for the core true teachings, that's all she thought.
There are few people at the same level who can surpass him and Lu Lingxiao.
"hehe."
Lu Changsheng smiled and roughly guessed what his daughter had experienced in the past few days.
After the father and daughter returned to Bihu Mountain, he called his son Lu Xingchen and daughter-in-law Wang Yanjing.
Then he gave the jade slips, spiritual stones, elixirs, and five-element jade pendants sent by the ancestor of the Wang family to the two of them.
As for the Five Elements Mirror.
This top-grade magic weapon is pretty good and he can also use it, so he plans to use it himself first.
"This"
Lu Xingchen and Wang Yanjing were surprised when they saw the spiritual stones, elixirs and magic weapons in the storage bag.
As foundation-building cultivators, they had never seen such a huge sum of money.
Moreover, Lu Changsheng also told them that this jade pendant is a magic weapon that has the effect of increasing the magic power of the five elements.
When Wang Yanjing saw these spiritual stones and magic weapons, he was delighted and excited.
Knowing that he had made the right choice, the ancestor did provide his son Lu Xuanqian with resources to support him!
However, she was also surprised that Lu Changsheng handed the magic weapon to the two of them so early.
After all, the other party, as a Jindan Zhenren, can also use this kind of magic weapon.
"Jing'er, if you have time, you can study this secret method and see if you can comprehend it."
At this time, a crystal clear jade slip appeared in Lu Changsheng's hand and fell in front of Wang Yanjing.
Although his son Lu Xingchen possesses a third-grade spiritual root, his character is average and he can only hope to form a pill.
The probability of forming a pill is not as high as that of my daughter-in-law Wang Yanjing.
At this time, the ancestor of the Wang family sent two five-element magic weapons.
If the other party can comprehend the 'San Tong Qi', and then combine the Five Elements Mirror with the technique and refine the magic weapon that is compatible with the bloodline into Tong Can, there will be a high probability of breaking through to the Jindan stage.
If she could break through to the Jindan stage, she could also help her son and protect her grandson Lu Xuanqian.
"Yes, Dad."
Wang Yanjing was now very respectful to his extremely mysterious father-in-law. He took the jade slip with both hands and said respectfully.
