The tables laid out below in a star-like pattern were for cultivators below the Nascent Soul stage and mortals. Yet this incomparably beautiful little Golden Core female cultivator had actually appeared on the high stage and seemed to be very familiar with Li Yan.
But after learning of her origin a little later, these old Nascent Soul monsters suddenly understood. Thus, one by one, they began to actively go up and chat with Su Hong.
The reason was none other than that they all knew that "Gui Qu Lai Xi" had a huge background. None of them had expected that these three were actually from the "Gui Qu Lai Xi" headquarters. Their interest was immediately piqued.
They of course wanted to build a relationship, and at the same time, inquire if they had anything they wanted...
After a round of conversation, their gazes towards Li Yan became even more surprised.
Anyone who could come here was very familiar with the Tianli Clan. They knew that the other party, like them, although they also knew some of the deacons and elders of "Gui Qu Lai Xi" in the market, it was only the kind of familiarity that came from frequent transactions.
And these three from the headquarters were actually here specifically to attend Li Yan's grand wedding. Without a special reason, this meant that Li Yan must be particularly familiar with the other party.
And among these old monsters, none of them knew where the power behind "Gui Qu Lai Xi" came from, or even of the existence of a headquarters.
In addition, those who had arrived early had seen Li Yan and the three of them coming from behind together, looking like they were talking and laughing. Su Hong would sometimes even cast a very intimate, reproachful glance at Li Yan...
With Su Hong's eloquence and social skills, in just a short while, she had already negotiated several valuable business deals. For a time, the high stage became even more lively.
Below the stage was also filled with joyous laughter. The Golden Core cultivators who had come to congratulate were also chatting with the Tianli Clan cultivators, constantly inquiring about Li Yan's origin and the strange scenes of the Wind Beasts they had seen today.
The experience of the Tianli Clan, even after some time had passed, still felt incredible to them.
Not long after, the sun had set in the west. The entire manor and the nearby villages were brightly lit with lanterns.
As night fell, Gong Shanhe, the First Elder, and the Third Elder arrived together. At the same time, they also brought some other clan members. Next, it was time for the various tedious rituals that gave Li Yan the biggest headache.
When Gong Chenying appeared, dressed in the festive attire of the Tianli Clan, the atmosphere of the whole scene reached its peak. Below, there were even bursts of whistling.
This was completely different from the immortal sect ceremonies that Li Yan had seen, filled with a primitive and rustic flavor.
And the Nascent Soul cultivators on the stage also smiled at this, without the slightest dissatisfaction. It was clear that they were very familiar with the customs of the Tianli Clan.
Li Yan then stood up. With Gong Chenying, he picked up the wine jar and wine bowl. On the side, the Fourth Elder also stood up at the same time and began to prepare to announce the rites.
At this moment, suddenly, all the Nascent Soul cultivators on the high stage looked up at the sky. Even Li Yan stopped the action of pouring wine in his hand.
"Hmm? What is he doing here?"
Li Yan frowned slightly. In his confusion, a black shadow had already flown into the sky above. It was a thin, black-robed old man, Yan San. And behind him, there were no other Wind Beasts, only him alone.
His expression was extremely cold. He did not show the slightest fear towards the many Nascent Soul cultivators here. The First Elder's eyes narrowed, but he did not speak.
"Fellow Daoist Li, congratulations on your great joy. I, Yan, have come here to congratulate you. This is the congratulatory gift from our three clans. Please accept it!"
After Yan San spoke, he lightly waved his sleeve, and three streams of light shot towards Li Yan. Li Yan's divine sense had already locked onto the other party. Hearing what Yan San said, he was slightly taken aback.
He had not invited Yan San to his investiture ceremony. After all, they could only be said to have stopped fighting for now, but there was no friendship to speak of. He had not expected this person to come at this time and even present a so-called congratulatory gift.
Seeing the three streaks of light arrive before him, Li Yan just made a slight gesture, and the three streaks of light fell into his hand. As he had sensed with his divine sense, the three streaks of light did not contain any fierce attacks.
Looking at the three storage rings in his palm, Li Yan unceremoniously probed them. He did not want to find something like a human head in the storage rings.
Afterward, a look of surprise appeared on his face. Inside, besides a lot of high-grade spirit stones, there were actually a few rare raw materials from the "Heaven's Eye Pit."
Those were also things that the Tianli Clan had specifically requested in their trades with the three clans of Wind Beasts, but the quantity was often very small. Li Yan was also aware of this.
These materials could be used for alchemy and artifact refining, and they were all for Nascent Soul and above cultivators. And in the rings given to Li Yan, the amount of those raw materials was substantial.
"This..."
Li Yan looked up in confusion.
"You may continue! I, Yan, will take my leave!"
After Yan San finished speaking, he did not greet anyone else. He turned around, and his figure blurred, and in an instant, he had disappeared into the distance again.
"Many thanks. After I have finished with my business, I will invite Fellow Daoist Yan and the other fellow Daoists for a drink. At that time, I hope Fellow Daoist Yan and the others will not refuse!"
Just as Yan San was leaving, Li Yan's voice also sounded in his mind. A faint smile finally appeared on his originally indifferent face.
Yan San had come and gone in a hurry. For Yan San to come and congratulate was beyond everyone's expectations. This was clearly a gesture of goodwill towards the Tianli Clan.
But Yan San also knew that it was not suitable for him to stay here at this moment. Just looking at the gazes of the disabled warriors on the platform below, they were all full of hostility. It would be inappropriate for him to sit here.
Therefore, he had come alone to express the sentiments of the Wind Beast side. Li Yan, of course, would not ask him to stay now. But the content of the voice transmission also made Yan San's heart happy.
Now, the things they obtained from trading with the Tianli Clan were actually much more than the resources they had snatched by force. And they did not have to sacrifice so many of their clan members' lives. The three clans of Wind Beasts were currently growing stronger at an unprecedented rate.
"Amitabha, this is a great good deed!"
Just as everyone was still thinking their own thoughts about Yan San's ghost-like comings and goings, a sharp light burst out from Divine Monk Kong Hai's eyes, and he couldn't help but chant a Buddhist mantra.
As a monk, he preferred to see all living beings saved from suffering and far from killing. In this scene, Divine Monk Kong Hai seemed to see a land of ultimate bliss.
When he had passed through the Wind Beast territory earlier, the scene of passing face to face with the Wind Beasts without any attack, in Divine Monk Kong Hai's memory, since he had started cultivating, had never happened before.
At that time, he had said to Zhuo Lingfeng.
"A land of bliss should be like this, and all living beings should be thus!"
Next, after Yan San left, a sharp light flashed in many people's eyes, and everything returned to its lively atmosphere. It was as if he had come, and as if he had never come...
After all the wedding ceremonies were over, it was a carnival feast for the clan members. Gong Chenying immediately withdrew.
During the feast, Li Yan talked a lot with some of the Nascent Souls. Afterward, he even found a nearby room and had a long talk with Zhuo Lingfeng and his master.
When it came to how to cooperate with the extremely ferocious Wind Beasts, Li Yan still did not mention the matter of the fifth-rank Wind Beast in the bottom of the swamp. Instead, he said that another "Heaven's Eye Pit" had appeared nearby, and the number of fourth-rank Wind Beasts detected there was not small.
The three clans of Wind Beasts felt the coming of a crisis, and the Tianli Clan had withstood their frenzied attacks...
Afterward, they also talked about Yan San's personality and so on. However, Li Yan still importantly mentioned a problem, which was that one's own side must have strength to force the other side to produce or accept new ideas.
After hearing this, Divine Monk Kong Hai fell into deep thought. Seeing this, Li Yan and Zhuo Lingfeng withdrew. The two of them then chatted about some other things.
Zhuo Lingfeng asked Li Yan if he would be returning to the Desolate Moon Continent soon. Li Yan only said that it might be in about a sixty-year cycle, and it was not yet certain for the time being.
After all, the seal here still needed some time to be truly confirmed and stabilized, and accepting the inheritance of the cultivation method also took time. Li Yan himself did not have a specific time for when he could go back.
Li Yan felt that his so-called promise to guard the Malevolent Spirit Sect for three hundred years had not been fulfilled at all. The time he had spent outside was longer than the time he had stayed in the sect.
However, in the battle of the Nascent Soul formation ceremony, even the First Sir had fallen, and the Black Demon Clan had been mostly killed off. With his master and Martial Uncle Gu and the others guarding the Malevolent Spirit Sect, there should be no more major incidents.
Li Yan told Zhuo Lingfeng that before he left, he would definitely go and find him. Zhuo Lingfeng also smiled and nodded, and also hoped that when Li Yan and his wife had time later, they could go to the "Sand Gate Temple" for a few days' gathering.
Several hours later, some people got up and left one after another. Some left directly, while most of them rarely gathered together. Like the First Elder and the others, they went to hold a small trade fair with some of the old Nascent Soul monsters.
As for Divine Monk Kong Hai, after he came out of the room, there seemed to be a smile on his face. He immediately proposed to leave. This made Li Yan a little surprised. It seemed that this divine monk might have thought of something related to the Wind Beasts.
He was in a hurry to go back, probably to discuss some things with the other divine monks. After a few polite words from Li Yan, he sent the two of them off.
After Divine Monk Kong Hai and Zhuo Lingfeng left, Su Hong, who had stayed for several months, also proposed to leave. Before leaving, she said to Li Yan.
"Senior Li, next time I hope to see... see you get married again on another continent, oh!"
After saying that, she twisted her waist, like a lotus leaf swaying in the wind. Covering her red lips with her snow-white jade hand, she pursed her lips into a smile and left with her two companions, leaving behind a somewhat dumbfounded Li Yan.
However, he clearly saw that as Su Hong turned around, there was a faint blush on her snow-white powdered neck. Under the moonlight, she was even more beautiful and peerless.
It was not until the early morning hours that Li Yan returned alone to the backyard of the manor.
When Li Yan entered the room, Gong Chenying, dressed in the festive attire of a foreign land, was still sitting on the edge of the bed. She had long heard Li Yan's undisguised footsteps. As the footsteps approached, it was as if every step of the other party was hitting her heart.
Gong Chenying, who had always been calm and composed, unconsciously clenched the corner of her clothes with her jade hands, tighter and tighter. Her palms were even sweating.
Since returning from the toasts in the front, she herself did not know how these few hours had passed. It was as if it had been a long time, and also as if it had been just a moment. All kinds of thoughts rushed into her mind.
She felt that in all her life since she was young, all her thoughts added together were not as many as she had thought in these few hours...
As the footsteps approached, she lowered her jade head slightly, her dark and shiny eyelashes trembling constantly. Soon, on the ground in front of her line of sight, a red robe hem appeared, as well as the partially exposed tips of his feet under the red robe hem.
Then, a pair of large hands rested on her jade shoulders!
Li Yan looked at the ripe peach before him. Then, he placed his two large hands on her rounded shoulders. Gong Chenying's body trembled violently, then she regained her composure, but she still did not lift her beautiful head.
Li Yan sat sideways on the edge of the bed and carefully examined the beauty under the lamp. Gong Chenying, on the other hand, lowered her head deeply, burying it in her high, cloud-like peaks.
Li Yan slowly pulled the beauty into his arms. Gong Chenying's body was a little stiff. Li Yan chuckled lightly. Instantly, a large patch of crimson clouds rose on Gong Chenying's face.
Piece by piece, the clothes were removed. Gong Chenying had already closed her eyes tightly, her body trembling slightly. Her hands had nowhere to be placed. Li Yan looked at the jade body lying before him, and he also felt a surge of blood.
It was a body full of youthful vitality and a cheetah-like physique. Wheat-colored skin, rounded and slender legs with faint vertical muscle lines, and when brought together, they were seamless.
On her abdomen were eight rounded muscles, with a small silver ring, full of endless wild charm. Above were high peaks and deep clouds, rounded and erect...
Li Yan looked at everything before him, and his whole person had already forgotten everything. He slowly bent down...
Gong Chenying's pair of jade hands, at a certain moment, suddenly clenched the bedsheets tightly, her almond eyes wide open...
The spring scenery is infinitely beautiful, one does not wake up at dawn, the fallen red is scattered everywhere, a night of begonia wind.
When Li Yan woke up from his dream, he suddenly frowned. It was already noon, and Gong Chenying beside him was still sleeping soundly. Her wheat-colored skin, under the sunlight shining through the window, gave off a feeling of amazing elasticity, its smooth surface reflecting a porcelain-like luster...
Li Yan took the bedsheet and covered the other party's body. The next moment, he quickly looked inside his dantian with his divine sense. Just now, while he was still dreaming, he had suddenly felt a strange movement of the magical power in his dantian and had woken up instinctively.
When his divine sense entered the Dantian sea, it made Li Yan stunned. Because at this moment, the magical power in his Dantian sea was abnormally active, and was rapidly traveling through his meridians.
When Li Yan's divine sense came into contact with that magical power, he actually felt a faint difference. Li Yan's control over his own magical power had already reached a meticulous level.
This was a strange feeling. Li Yan's divine sense quickly sank into the Dantian's Purple Mansion. When he went to observe his Nascent Soul again, he also immediately discovered some problems.
At this time, the small golden Nascent Soul, the thin green line on its right arm, the thin red line on its right leg, and the thin yellow line on its left leg had actually thickened slightly. The small golden Nascent Soul was sitting cross-legged and circulating the True Scripture of Gui Water.
The Nascent Soul was connected to Li Yan's mind. For some reason, at this moment, a new understanding of the "wood, fire, and earth" three systems appeared in his mind. It was a new insight into the power of the laws of heaven and earth of the five elements.
"What's going on? Isn't my most sensitive perception of the water system power?"
For a moment, Li Yan was a little unsure of what had happened...
An hour later, Gong Chenying also withdrew her divine sense from her internal view. She also had a blank look on her face. She had been woken up by Li Yan just now while she was sound asleep.
Seeing that she was still naked, she immediately shrank back into the quilt, both shy and angry, and told Li Yan to turn around quickly. She didn't know when Li Yan had woken up, and how many times he had secretly looked at her...
After she had hurriedly dressed, she saw that Li Yan had a strange look on his face. She thought that Li Yan was thinking about their wild night last night.
Last night, the two of them had tirelessly sought each other again and again. It was not until the sun was high in the sky that she had fallen into a deep sleep. She couldn't help but glare at Li Yan in annoyance. Her body was still sore at the moment.
But Li Yan then asked about another matter, asking her if there was anything unusual in her body. For a moment, Gong Chenying did not know what Li Yan was going to do...
