Like this, then Ye Yuan's lucky chance could only be inherited from . . . the Divine Realm!
Associating it to that exceptionally powerful woman around Ye Yuan again, it seemed like the various clues all pointed to the Divine Realm hazily.
To lower realm martial artists, the Divine Realm was an extremely mysterious world. That place represented power and limitless possibilities.
Only after a long time, did Ren Xingchun give a deep sigh and said, "I really didn't think that Ye Hang and Hongling actually gave birth to such an amazing son! That . . . The matter of hosting a make-up wedding ceremony for them, have they agreed?"
Ren Yujie recounted Ye Yuan's words exactly as it was, leaving Ren Xingchun at a loss whether to cry or laugh.
"This boy is really sharp! Looks like it was indeed not a coincidence that he could have today's accomplishments! Forget it, forget it. As long as it can make this brat satisfied, I'll throw out this old face! Yujie, you declare an announcement tomorrow. Say that I, Ren Xingchun, found my long-lost daughter, and I want to hold a make-up wedding for her. The entire city will celebrate together!"
. . . . . .
The next two days, this matter become the hottest topic in the entire city.
Especially among the major factions, they placed immensely close attention to this matter.
At the Alchemist Association, Dan Chenzi looked at Wu Xuan and said, "I really didn't expect that Ye Yuan is actually Ren Xingchun that old fellow's grandson! He really picked up a treasure! Looks like this Wu Fang City's power arrangement will thoroughly change. Wu Xuan, your relationship with that Ye Yuan isn't bad. You must maintain it well! This boy's origin is definitely not simple. Presumably, he has countless intricate ties with the Divine Realm."
Wu Xuan forced a smile and said, "I also didn't think that Ye Yuan actually still had such an identity! But through these few days of interaction with him, I discovered that Ye Yuan is a person who differentiates kindness and grudges clearly. As long as our Alchemist Association doesn't take the initiative to provoke him, he won't have any ill intentions towards us."
Dan Chenzi nodded and said, "It's also thanks to Ye Yuan that I can finally refine the Dragon Tiger Mighty Soul Pill! With this Dragon Tiger Mighty Soul Pill, it can be assumed that the day of me ascending to the Divine Realm won't be far off! I'll start my closed-seclusion from tomorrow onwards. The matter of that wedding, it will be you making an appearance then. Remember to help me send a big gift over."
Chapter 536 - Congratulatory Gift
On this day, the City Lord Manor was decorated with lanterns and decorations, bustling with a jubilant air.
Under Ren Xingchun's overbearing nature, City Lord Manor had always been filled with a lifeless atmosphere. There wasn't even a person who would dare to talk loudly.
It had already been God knows how many years since this City Lord Manor was so crowded.
The City Lord Manor's entrance was crowded with people. Those watching the show and delivering congratulatory gifts practically blocked up the entire street in front of the entrance.
"City Lord actually issued a self-admonishing edict! This is truly unprecedented!"
"Yeah. City Lord has a paramount position, dictating the world. He had always been very domineering. This time, he actually issued a self-admonishing edict for the sake of his daughter and son-in-law. It really comes as a huge surprise!"
"Heh, you aren't aware yet, right? City Lord issuing a self-admonishing edict was not because of his daughter and son-in-law. It was because of his maternal grandson! There, it's that young man receiving guests at the entrance!"
"How did you know?"
"My brother-in-law's wife's younger sister's third aunt is a maidservant in City Lord Manor. This matter had long spread in the City Lord Manor! This grandson of City Lord is very formidable. I heard that he nearly overturned the Cao Family's Thousand Query Wall! With City Lord accepting this grandson, the City Lord Manor's strength will become even greater!"
There were no walls without any cracks in this world. Moreover, Ren Xingchun did not plan on controlling these rumors this time. Hence, it slowly spread out from the City Lord Manor as well.
Furthermore, broadcasting Ye Yuan's reputation would only be more beneficial to the City Lord Manor.
Today, Ye Yuan took the initiative to be together with Xu Zihui and took on the task of welcoming guests.
For Father and Mother's big wedding, him, as the son, naturally had to wait upon cautiously.
"Alchemist Association, Elder Wu Xuan has arrived!"
The voice had yet to fade, and Wu Xuan came forward to Ye Yuan with a big laugh. He said, "Younger Brother Ye, congratulations, congratulations!"
"Haha! Elder Brother came really early! Quickly have a seat inside!" Ye Yuan said with a laugh too.
"No rush to sit! No rush to sit! Younger Brother, today is your father's joyous day! This congratulatory gift from Elder Brother can't be missing! But this gift of mine is offering a present provided by somebody else. Younger Brother, please don't get mad," Wu Xuan said with a laugh.
Ye Yuan waved his hand and said, "What is Elder Brother saying here? You being able to come is already giving me tremendous face! How can I dare to get mad?"
"Haha! Then that's good! Young Brother, clear away all the wine at the main banquet! Change to mine!" Wu Xuan said with a mysterious smile.
Ye Yuan's eyes lit up when he heard that. Could it be that this old man fermented the Immortal Remembrance Jade Brew so quickly?
Wu Xuan saw Ye Yuan's eyes and knew that the latter already guessed it. He immediately no longer held Ye Yuan in suspense. Extending a hand and waving, he said, "Come, men. Carry all of the wine inside!"
A group of servants carried loads and walked out from the crowd. Ye Yuan's eyes swept over. There were actually as many as 20 barrels!
20 barrels of wine was nothing. But, 20 barrels of Immortal Remembrance Jade Brew was sufficient to cause a stir throughout the entire Wu Fang City!
These wooden barrels were all made from Southern Sandalwood. Although they were all sealed off, the fragrance overflowed, immediately intoxicating a stretch of people.
"What alcohol is this? So fragrant!"
"It's already so fragrant without breaking the seal. If I can have a taste, I'd be willing to even die!"
"Heh, ignorant and ill-informed much? I smell this alcohol fragrance, it must be that legendary Alchemy Sovereign, Fu Yunjing's Immortal Remembrance Jade Brew! I had once smelled before the alcohol fragrance several hundred feet away. It made me reminiscence for several days!"
"It's actually Immortal Remembrance Jade Brew! My God! Isn't this the fine wine that Alchemy Sovereign Fu Yunjing hoards? Why is there so many all at once? Furthermore . . . why would it be delivered by Master Wu Xuan?"
"That, I don't know! Moreover, I smell that this alcohol fragrance is actually even more aromatic than the last time. The quality of these Immortal Remembrance Jade Brew is probably even above the wine brewed by Alchemy Sovereign Fu Yunjing!"
Twenty barrels of Immortal Remembrance Jade Brew. It immediately caused an uproar among the surrounding crowd.
The Immortal Remembrance Jade Brew was very renowned in Wu Fang City. Many people had only heard of its name but never seen it. Being able to have the opportunity to smell the alcohol fragrance from far away once was already the good fortune of three lifetimes.
But today, Wu Xuan brought out 20 barrels in one go. It was seriously too astonishing.
Many martial artists were drooling ceaselessly, envious to death of those who could take a seat at the banquet and drink this wine.
Ye Yuan saw the situation and could not help laughing in spite of himself and said, "Elder Brother is so ostentatious! Alright, then I'll take it first. Thank you, Elder Brother!"
"Haha! What's still there to thank between us? Furthermore, I'm just presenting Buddha with borrowed flowers here. I'm only responsible for providing the ingredients! Oh, right, I still have a congratulato
ry gift over here. It's Chairman's. He's currently in closed-seclusion right now refining pills, so he can't come here personally. But he made me bring his gratitude over!"
Wu Xuan smiled and took out a long sword. Chilly air overflowed from it.
Those onlooking martial artists could feel that oppressive freezing air separated by a distance of several hundred feet away. This was still under the circ.u.mstance where Wu Xuan did not use essence energy.
Ye Yuan took over the long sword from Wu Xuan's hands and praised, "Fine sword!"
Wu Xuan said with a smile, "This sword's name is called Xuanying Sword; it is a low-grade profound artifact."
Ye Yuan nodded his head and said with clasped hands, "Elder Brother help me thank Lord Chairman on my behalf when you return!"
This congratulatory gift from Dan Chenzi was given to Ye Hang and wife in name. Actually, it was prepared for Ye Yuan.
Profound artifacts were different from spirit artifacts; two entirely different concepts.
Spirit artifacts that were any more expensive could also be bought on the market using essence crystals. However, profound artifacts had the demand but no supply. Even if you had plenty of essence crystals, it's still very hard to buy them from some trading companies.
Profound artifacts were basically all weapons used by Divine Traversing Realm experts. They were extremely rare in the Endless World.
Dan Chenzi gave a low-grade profound artifact with his opening move. It could be said to be extravagant.
But Ye Yuan did not have any psychological burden. Because he helped Dan Chenzi complete the Dragon Tiger Mighty Soul Pill!
The value of this medicinal pill, others were unaware, but how could Ye Yuan not know?
Accepting a profound artifact of his was already him suffering a loss.
But Dan Chenzi being able to remember to give him a gift counted that he had the heart too.
Furthermore, following the rise in Ye Yuan's strength, Canghua Sword was already gradually becoming somewhat lacking. And Canghua Sword's quality already reached the limit. If more restrictions were added, there was the risk of shattering.
Although he was unable to unleash the full power of the Xuanying Sword right now, it was much more powerful than Canghua Sword.
This was also just Ye Yuan. Taking another Sea Transformation Realm martial artist, they could only just use some high-level spirit artifact.
But Ye Yuan's martial techniques were overly heaven-defying. Ordinary spirit artifacts could not unleash the true power of his sword moves.
Ye Yuan and Wu Xuan had some small talk for a while, then Wu Xuan went inside to take a seat.
Before long, the servant called out once again, "Cao Family's Family Head has arrived!"
The expression on Cao Zheng's face was rather dim. He saw Ye Yuan and forced a smile to congratulate, "Little Brother Ye, congratulations! Congratulations!"
Arrivals were guests. Ye Yuan obviously would not reach his hand out to smack a smiling person. He replied with a smile, "Thank you very much."
Ye Yuan knew that Cao Zheng did not spend these few days very well. But he did not care about it much either.
Since Ren Xingchun was still technically his grandfather, Ye Yuan naturally had to lean towards the Ren Family. As for how the Cao Family would be, Ye Yuan was unconcerned.
However, Ye Yuan knew that Cao Zheng definitely would not come empty-handed today. He had to at least show a little something.
Indeed, Cao Zhen fished out a slip of paper from inside his sleeves and passed it to Ye Yuan, saying, "This old man slightly prepared a modest gift. I hope that Little Brother Ye can kindly accept it."
Ye Yuan reached his hand out to take the slip of paper and could not help being slightly stunned.
Chapter 537 - Opening a Forum and Giving a Sermon
"The Cao Family's big gift is rather weighty!" Ye Yuan looked at Cao Zheng and said with a half-smile.
The corners of Cao Zheng's mouth twitched, and he forced a smile as he said, "Little Brother Ye is too kind! Your father's grand wedding, as a part of Wu Fang City, my Cao Family naturally have to prepare something presentable."
Ye Yuan nodded slightly and passed the slip of paper to Xu Zihui and said, "Brother Zihui, I'm overwhelmed by this big gift from the Cao Family. You'd better present it to Old Master directly."
Xu Zihui was rather baffled listening to the two people's conversation earlier.
The thing that Cao Zheng handed over seemed to be a contract. Was it possible that the City Lord Manor was directly giving business to City Lord Manor?
Such a gift definitely could not be said to be simple.
He received the contract from Ye Yuan's hands doubtfully and gave it a brief glance. His entire person trembled involuntarily and almost threw the slip of paper away.
Xu Zihui took a look at Cao Zheng and glanced at Ye Yuan again. The astonishment in his heart could not be any greater.
What was in his hands was indeed a contract. Except that this contract was not some ordinary business from the Cao Family, but the Exquisite Jade Pavilion which was renowned throughout the entire Northern Domain!
This was the Cao Family's largest business. It was also the most profitable business!
However, this was not the most important thing. The most important thing was that inside the Exquisite Jade Pavilion had the Thousand Query Wall!
The Thousand Query Wall's significance to the Cao Family simply could not be converted using essence crystals!
That was where the foundation of the Cao Family lied. It was also the foundation which the Cao Family relied on to survive!
Without the Thousand Query Wall, the Cao Family was just an ordinary alchemy family too. They will be no different from the Ren Family.
Moreover, without the Thousand Query Wall, it was simply impossible for the Cao Family to be City Lord's match. They would be completely suppressed very soon.
Was Cao Zheng's brain damaged? Or else, why would he use this sort of thing for a congratulatory gift?
"This . . . This . . ." Xu Zihui wanted to say something but did not know what he should say.
Cao Zheng looked intently at Ye Yuan and suddenly turned around to say to everyone in a loud and clear voice, "Everybody, today, borrowing City Lord daughter's grand wedding date, my Cao Family will be giving the Exquisite Jade Pavilion as a gift. From today onwards, Thousand Query Wall will be officially owned by City Lord Manor!"
The flesh on Cao Zheng's face was twitching. But he still said firmly, "Thousand Query Wall had never been the Cao Family's Thousand Query Wall, but all of the Endless World's alchemists' Thousand Query Wall. The Cao Family had always treated the Thousand Query Wall as our private property. Truly an injustice to everyone! Wu Fang City being the Endless World's alchemy holy land, the Thousand Query Wall ought to be managed by City Lord Manor!"
Finished talking, Cao Zheng's entire person seemed to have aged greatly.
The Cao Family's painstaking work for several thousand years, he gave it away with both hands just like this. This was a tremendous test to him.
Even Ye Yuan did not expect that Cao Zheng would actually have such great breadth of spirit either, directly giving Exquisite Jade Pavilion to City Lord Manor.
The Thousand Query Wall indeed did not post much of a challenge to Ye Yuan.
But when Ye Yuan was challenging the Thousand Query Wall, he also deeply experienced the Thousand Query Wall's prowess.
Although he only answered the last twenty questions, not one of these twenty questions did not represent extremely high standards.
The crystallization of the Endless World's Alchemy Path powerhouses' wisdom these several thousand years was absolutely not an undeserved reputation.
Cao Zheng's words shocked all the martial artists present until they were tender on the inside and crispy on the outside.
"What? The Cao Family can actually bear to hand the Thousand Query Wall to City Lord Manor! This . . . Just why is this?"
"This is
a major epoch event to the Endless World's alchemy world! How is the Cao Family still going to compete with City Lord Manor without the Thousand Query Wall?"
"This Cao Zheng isn't an impersonator, right? This kind of thing mustn't be joked around!"
Everyone was speculating the intentions behind this action of Cao Zheng. But no one could have guessed that Cao Zheng was actually fearful of the youth in front of him!
Although some people also guessed clues from Ye Yuan challenging the Thousand Query Wall, it was still very hard for them to link this kind of major thing to Ye Yuan.
This was an insane move!
What in the world was Cao Zheng afraid of?
Cao Zheng had fought in the dark with Ren Xingchun for so long. How could he possibly make such a move?
Ye Yuan glanced at Cao Zheng and was also slightly in admiration of his breadth of spirit.
This kind of swift and opportune decisiveness was not what everybody could have.
"Since Cao Family Head is so generous, my City Lord Manor naturally won't be stingy either! From tomorrow onwards, I will open a forum and give a lecture in Exquisite Jade Pavilion for five consecutive days. As long as they are alchemists, they can come and listen to the lecture!" Ye Yuan suddenly said in a loud voice.
"What? That young man wants to open a forum and give a lecture? Who is he? So arrogant!"
"Are you kidding? That's the City Lord's grandson. He challenged twenty questions from the seventh level at the Thousand Query Wall a few days back. Moreover, all of them were answered correctly!"
"No way, right? Looking at his age, he's just 17 to 18 years old. How can he have such profound and deep alchemy knowledge?"
"Heh, that, I don't know! But you mustn't underestimate him because of his young age! I heard a story that City Lord issuing a self-admonishing edict this time was because of this grandson of his! Perhaps . . . this action of the Cao Family is due to him too!"
"This . . . How is this possible? A 17 year old youth can actually caused such earth-shattering impact?"
"I only heard it. Up to you to believe it or not. But in my opinion, it's not far off!"
