Chapter 665: A Somewhat Sudden Change

Since the guest had said so, Lin Zhangqing, as the host, naturally had no choice but to accompany him.

So the two of them walked toward the west side of Cuiyun Valley while admiring the flowers and plants planted by Murong Qingyan and Li Xiangting! In less than two miles, they arrived at the spot. After picking some First-Tier spirit peaches, the two of them simply started playing Immortal Fighting Chess under the peach tree.

This was a type of cultivator chess unique to the Star Sea Realm, just right for the two of them to pass the boring time.

After they had played for a while, Senior Brother Zhao suddenly asked, "Does Junior Brother Lin know what the main reason is for Uncle-Master Ran Ming's sudden visit this time?"

Lin Zhangqing felt a stir in his heart; this one surnamed Zhao actually didn't know what Old Drunkard was here for.

It seems Old Drunkard's mouth was truly tight. Before things were settled, he couldn't reveal any hints.

So Lin Zhangqing shook his head and said, "Looking at Uncle-Master's demeanor, there must be something going on.

But I think it shouldn't be anything bad! Of course, perhaps after we go back in a moment, Uncle-Master will say it himself!

So, for now, let's just play chess; otherwise, it's useless to just guess wildly here!"

Senior Brother Zhao heard Lin Zhangqing's watertight answer and had no way to pursue it further, so he could only shift his attention back to the Immortal Fighting Chess.

Just like that, the two of them focused intently, fighting and killing each other on the chessboard; in any case, neither side would yield to the other.

So, unknowingly, about half an hour passed. At this moment, Old Drunkard's voice reached both of their ears.

"Alright, the matter has been discussed. You two can come back now!"

After hearing this, the two of them looked at each other, then immediately packed up their things and walked toward the back garden.

When Lin Zhangqing returned to the pavilion, Li Xiangting's little face was blushing bright red when she saw him!

As for Murong Qingyan, she had a smile on her face the whole time; it seemed she was very satisfied with Lin Zhangqing.

The one who showed it most clearly was Li Qinchuan, who was so excited he was almost dancing; he looked even more agitated than Lin Zhangqing.

However, as soon as Lin Zhangqing returned, everyone's eyes focused on him.

It made him feel a bit embarrassed, but fortunately, his skin was already thick enough now, and others couldn't tell he was embarrassed.

Fortunately, at this moment, Old Drunkard didn't make things difficult for him and directly broke the tension for him: "Alright, the matter was very smooth and satisfactory.

As the matchmaker you entrusted, the task has finally been successfully completed today!

Xiangting has already agreed to become your Dao companion, and her mother and younger brother are also in total agreement, so you must take responsibility for protecting her well from now on!

Why haven't you taken out the things you prepared yet? What are you waiting for?"

This time, Lin Zhangqing's old face really turned a bit red. He hurriedly agreed, then rummaged through his spirit beast bracelet and took out an exquisite little jade box.

He personally presented it to Li Xiangting and introduced it: "This is a treasure I obtained by chance, the Three-Flower Face-Keeping Pill.

Its effect is the same as the Beauty Snake Pill; both can keep one's appearance forever!"

"Ah!"

"Ah!" Hearing Lin Zhangqing's introduction, the others didn't react much, but Murong Qingyan and Li Xiangting both exclaimed "Ah!" in surprise!

Clearly, they hadn't expected Lin Zhangqing to take out such an item; for women, this was simply the most fatal attraction.

The Beauty Snake Pill here had the inner core of a Second-Tier Beauty Snake as its main ingredient, and after being refined, it was only a Second-Tier Upper-Grade spirit pill.

But because of its special nature, it required at least ten thousand sect contribution points to be exchanged for it.

And often, as soon as it was refined, it was exchanged by people with inside information.

So ordinary disciples, even if they had enough sect contribution points, found it very difficult to see such a treasure, which was why they were so surprised! Li Xiangting happily clutched the jade box in her hand; it seemed she was very satisfied with this gift.

Then, blushing, she took off the jade pendant she wore close to her body and personally placed it in Lin Zhangqing's hand.

After they completed these two actions, Old Drunkard continued: "Alright, we cultivators do not care for those worldly rituals!

Since you have already exchanged tokens, you are truly one family from now on! If you want to have a lively celebration, pick a good day in a few days, invite three or five friends to gather, and witness it; that will count as the ceremony being completed! However, I probably won't make it. After returning this time, I will begin closed-door cultivation, and I estimate it will be at least three to five years before I come out again! So during this time, you must all be careful, take good care of yourselves, and never let yourselves be schemed against easily!"

Hearing this, Lin Zhangqing was shocked. He hadn't expected this sudden change; it seemed Old Drunkard was truly accumulating strength for a breakthrough!

However, Lin Zhangqing still asked: "Uncle-Master, then about the cultivation method you told me..."

Old Drunkard glanced at Li Xiangting and said: "Don't worry about that. Before I go into closed-door cultivation, I will first speak with Ye Qinghuan of the Scripture Transmission Pavilion, Old Ghost Ye.

My friendship with him is quite good. When you go to exchange for the cultivation method, just say I sent you."

Hearing this, Lin Zhangqing pulled Li Xiangting, and the two of them respectfully performed three great bows to Old Drunkard.

Old Drunkard had been good to both Lin Zhangqing and the Li family, and he was the matchmaker who urged them to become Dao companions.

Moreover, even for the descendant of just a registered disciple, he was willing to come forward and take care of them; he was a very respectable elder.

Therefore, Lin Zhangqing performed these three great bows sincerely, and he believed Li Xiangting felt the same.

Old Drunkard sat on the stone chair and calmly accepted their three great bows.

Then he looked at them with a smile and said: "You are both good children! This is a gift I prepared for you; I believe you will like it in the future."

After finishing, he took a jade slip from his storage bracelet and handed it directly to Li Xiangting.

Li Xiangting looked at Lin Zhangqing first, and seeing him nod, she shyly took the item.

Actually, just now, hearing Old Drunkard say that, Lin Zhangqing had already roughly guessed what was inside.

In his mind, if it wasn't a Yin-Yang Dual Cultivation secret manual, it was definitely something similar.

It seemed that when becoming Dao companions, elders were very fond of gifting this type of thing.

In the past, when Lin Zhangqing became Dao companions with Chen Ziya, he had also received such a gift once.
