Chapter 363
Seeing that the sky was about right, after tidying up, he left Aoyun Peak and returned to his own courtyard.
There were two fewer people eating today; Aunt was accompanying Chen Zi Ya, and neither of them came to eat.
So, today there were only Grandfather and Lin Zhangqing's family of four; after finishing the meal, Grandfather specifically told Lin Zhangqing about the general process for tomorrow.
Letting Lin Zhangqing have an idea, it was actually very simple; tomorrow, he and Chen Zi Ya would go to the family Ancestral Hall to worship the ancestors and let Chen Zi Ya leave her name on the genealogy.
Then they would return to Lin Zhangqing's courtyard, where everyone would have two tables and celebrate together, and the ceremony would be considered complete.
After Lin Zhangqing heard this, he also felt it was quite good, simple and straightforward, without so much tossing and turning.
After they returned in the future, they would hold a real joint registration ceremony for Chen Zi Ya! For now, it was better to keep a low profile.
Today, at the new courtyard, Parents and younger sister had already decorated it; when Lin Zhangqing came back just now, he also went to take a look, and it was decorated very festively inside and out.
After everyone chatted about the division of labor and arrangements for tomorrow, everyone went back to cultivate and rest.
Lin Zhangqing returned to his room, and thinking that he would have a real Dao companion tomorrow, his emotions were still quite excited.
After all, he had been a bachelor in his previous life; after finally calming down, it was still early, so he decided to find something to do for himself.
Thinking for a while, he took out the Xuan Yuan Heavy Water Bottle and began to refine it according to the Xuan Yuan Tong Bao Technique.
Soon two hours passed, and Lin Zhangqing had refined it a total of eight times.
He felt that his control over the heavy water bottle was a little smoother; if he persisted, he believed that one day, he would be able to complete his control over it.
After resting a little, he began his cultivation of spells, divine abilities, and the Thunder True Scripture.
Early the next morning, after Lin Zhangqing completed his basic cultivation, he came to the living room, where Parents and younger sister were already waiting for him.
Younger sister couldn't help but complain, "Brother! On such an important day today, you are actually later than me! Are you embarrassed?"
Lin Zhangqing touched her head and said with a grin, "It's because of my cultivation method; the time for each cultivation is much more than yours, so I will always be a little later than you."
Mother also said with a smile, "Alright, Ling'er, don't haggle; after you reach Foundation Establishment, the time to complete basic cultivation will also increase! Besides, arriving now is just right!"
Father also said with a grin, "Alright Qing'er, from now on you are also a person with a Dao companion, which can be considered truly standing on your own; you should take care of your younger sister more."
Lin Zhangqing listened, nodded, and said seriously, "I know, Dad! Don't worry.
I have already prepared a gift in advance, and I will give it to her when I leave!
By then she will know how good I am to her!"
Younger sister Lin Changling heard that her brother had prepared a gift for her and was going to give it to her, so she immediately ran to Lin Zhangqing's side.
With a cheeky face, she said, "Brother! What gift are you going to give me!
Today happens to be a good day for you and Sister-in-law, why don't you give it to me first now!"
Lin Zhangqing also said with a grin, "That won't do! I haven't decided what to give yet; it mainly depends on your performance during this period!"
Lin Changling heard this, her eyes rolled around, and she immediately promised, "Alright then! I know what to do!
From now on, I will help you feed Chuyi, Chuer, and the Purple Crystal Scorpions!"
Lin Zhangqing heard this and couldn't help but laugh; he hadn't thought of this, and since his younger sister wanted to perform, he would leave it to her.
So he nodded and said, "That of course counts, as long as you can persevere and persist for two and a half months.
My gift will definitely make you jump for joy, I guarantee it will absolutely exceed your imagination!"
Lin Changling really fell for this; after all, Lin Zhangqing had never disappointed her, so she was really looking forward to it now.
At this time, Mother said, "Alright! Alright! Time is almost up, let's set off for the Ancestral Hall together now!"
Subsequently, the family flew to the Ancestral Hall together; in fact, it was not too far, just next to the family academy.
When the family arrived, the Clan Leader had just picked up Chen Zi Ya and Aunt and also arrived at the entrance of the Ancestral Hall.
The Clan Leader personally going to pick up Chen Zi Ya also expressed the importance he attached to her, and also expressed his respect for the Great-Grandmother.
After everyone greeted each other, they entered the Ancestral Hall together; at this time, there were already quite a few people inside.
Including Eldest Grandfather who was in charge of the family's external affairs, Second Grandfather who managed the Scripture Pavilion, Third Grandfather who was in charge of the family academy, Fourth Grandfather who managed the Affairs Hall,
Fifth Grandfather who was always recuperating, Sixth Grandfather who was in charge of alchemy, Seventh Grandfather who was in charge of artifact refining, and Eighth Grandfather who was in charge of commerce.
And Lin Zhangqing's own Grandfather; these were mainly the people, who could be considered the most core existence of the family.
Now everyone was standing on both sides, leaving only Lin Zhangqing and Chen Zi Ya standing in the middle.
At this time, the Clan Leader said, "The Chen and Lin families have been friends for generations, but because the Chen family is not a cultivation family, the cultivators who appeared were extremely rare.
This also caused the two families to be friends for more than three hundred years, and only now has a pair of true Dao companions appeared.
Originally, based on the relationship between the two families, a grand joint registration ceremony should have been held to announce it to the world.
But because of some special reasons, it cannot be held now, and it can only be made up for later.
Today, under the witness of the family's core elders, everything will be simplified for the time being; now the two of you together.
Kowtow three times before the tablets of the ancestors of all generations and offer three sticks of incense; this way, Xiao Ya will be officially entered into the Lin family genealogy."
Lin Zhangqing and Chen Zi Ya hurriedly agreed, and then the two respectfully kowtowed and offered incense before the tablets of the ancestors.
Subsequently, the Clan Leader personally wrote Chen Zi Ya's name next to Lin Zhangqing's name on the genealogy.
And let her drip a drop of essence blood on it; soon that drop of essence blood was absorbed by the genealogy.
Then he handed a new identity jade token to Chen Zi Ya and let her refine it on the spot; this way, Chen Zi Ya was considered a true member of the Lin family.
Subsequently, the two of them served tea to Grandfather, Lin Zhangqing's parents, and Aunt, and officially changed their forms of address.
They received four gifts; anyway, whatever Lin Zhangqing called them, Chen Zi Ya would follow suit in the future.
Next were the congratulatory gifts from the Clan Leader and the various Grandfathers, because Chen Zi Ya's body was special.
So the Clan Leader and the eight Grandfathers all prepared generous gifts; anyway, if they were too light, they would be embarrassed to take them out.
Lin Zhangqing estimated that these congratulatory gifts added together would be more than enough to buy a Foundation Establishment Pill.
