Protagonist:

Xu Changqing

"The Sun Family?"

"The Sun Family has been developing quite well recently!"

"Right, I heard the Family Head Sun Rong has already broken through to Foundation Establishment Late Stage!"

Xu Changqing approached the Sun Family Manor while inquiring for information.

In all of Dongqing City, there are five cultivation minor clans developing relatively well.

They are respectively the Li Family, Wang Family, Han Family, Sun Family, and Lei Family.

The reason the Sun Family could develop was because Sun Rong, when young, followed Dongqing City's administrator, the one everyone calls Golden Core True Monarch Wang.

Later, the family successively had several more people awaken Spiritual Roots.

Therefore they gradually grew and strengthened.

Especially in the recent half year, progress has been even more rapid.

First, Sun Rong, past fifty, broke through to Foundation Establishment Late Stage.

Then, the 25-year-old Sun Peng broke through to Qi Refining Late Stage.

Added to that, Sun Yu, Sun Xiang and others also grew.

The current Sun Family can be described as thriving day by day.

Moreover, just today.

Sun Peng is to marry Lei Jie's third daughter, Lei Yunna, the current Lei Family Head.

This woman is also not simple; she awakened a Fire Spirit Root.

She has no small talent in alchemy.

Therefore, these two families can be called a strong alliance.

Xu Changqing was thoughtful.

If memory serves, in the entire Loose Cultivator Market, the only shop that could make Labor-Strengthening Pills reach Superior quality.

It seems the first character on the signboard is 【Lei】.

Looks like the Lei Family made their fortune in the Loose Cultivator Market by decocting medicine and refining pills.

And currently speaking, the Sun Family's reputation is passable.

Although incidents that angered loose cultivators have also occurred.

But they're a bit stronger than the other few families.

As for the address Sun Peng gave.

It is indeed the Sun Family's current manor.

And it's indeed true they're holding a wedding banquet today.

"Then let's go take a look." Xu Changqing no longer hesitated.

……

"Why still no news?" Sun Peng, wearing the Groom's Attire, paced anxiously back and forth.

The Groomsman at his side chuckled: "The bride hasn't arrived yet."

Sun Peng glanced at him, then shook his head: "Who I'm waiting for isn't Yun Na."

Ah?

At these words, all several Groomsmen were struck speechless.

A groom, and who he's waiting for is actually not the bride.

If this gets out, that won't do.

The Lei Family will likely turn hostile directly.

Sun Peng also realized these words were problematic, so he explained: "I'm waiting for an extremely important friend; the person has already arrived in Dongqing City, but hasn't appeared yet."

One Groomsman pondered: "Could it be something came up, causing a delay?"

Sun Peng's face instantly showed worry; he immediately took out his Communication Talisman.

But after trying several times, he still couldn't inject his own Spiritual Power into it.

After all, he didn't dare urge, let alone offend this Immortal Sect Disciple.

This half year, if not for relying on the thousand catties of Top-grade Spirit Rice bought.

Eating three meals a day, bowl after bowl.

Wanting to break through to Qi Refining Late Stage would probably take over a year more.

What's more critical is, if future children also awaken Spiritual Roots.

Perhaps through Xu Changqing they could be sent into an Immortal Sect to cultivate.

The future would be far stronger than staying in a mere Loose Cultivator Market.

"Here he comes! Here he comes!" At this moment, a maid ran in quickly.

Sun Peng asked with an excited face: "Did Dao Friend Cai arrive?"

The maid heard this and looked blank, then replied: "It's the Old Master who returned."

"Oh."

Sun Peng revealed a disappointed expression.

The maid immediately continued, "Master told me to tell you, don't worry anymore, put on the wedding attire, prepare the betrothal gifts, and quickly lead the wedding escort team to the Lei Family to fetch the bride!"

Sun Peng nodded.

The wedding attire had long been worn on his body.

The betrothal gifts were also already prepared.

Now, he only needed to bring the wedding escort team to fetch the bride.

The overall style and customs of the wedding were actually not much different from the mortal world.

The only difference was that most of the people attending the wedding banquet this time were cultivators.

Therefore, there were also various travel tools in the wedding escort team.

Spirit beasts cleared the way on the ground.

Flying paper cranes accompanied in flight in the sky.

The entire wedding escort team numbered almost three hundred people.

It looked grand and imposing.

Almost occupying an entire street.

The greater the clan, the more they emphasized pomp and scale.

Ordinary loose cultivators didn't have so many demands.

One second their eyes met, the next second they could go to bed.

They cared more about feelings, or the person they would spend their days with.

Whereas cultivation clans paid more attention to interests.

To put it bluntly, even if the groom and bride disliked each other.

But since it concerned clan interests, they had to be together.

Even if it was only a marriage in form.

This round trip took one hour.

Sun Peng and Lei Yunna both began the marriage ceremony.

There was still no news from Xu Zhangqing.

This made Sun Peng somewhat absent-minded.

He had invited the man to come attend the wedding banquet.

They had already arrived at Dongqing City, yet he still hadn't appeared.

He kept feeling whether something had happened.

His heart remained uneasy and apprehensive.

After all, if a disciple of an immortal sect met with mishap, the entire Sun Family would be dragged down.

Suddenly, the matchmaker shouted, "First bow to heaven and earth!"

Sun Peng turned around, casting his gaze outside.

Right at this moment, he saw a familiar face.

The clothes, the eight-character mustache, exactly the same as when they first met.

Wasn't this precisely the person he was worried about in his heart?

So he had already arrived; it was truly a false alarm!

Xu Zhangqing stood in the crowd, smiled at Sun Peng, counting as a greeting.

"First bow to heaven and earth!" Seeing the groom somewhat dazed, the matchmaker couldn't help but remind him.

Even the bride reached out and tugged at him.

"Ah yes yes yes." Sun Peng finally put his mind at ease, grinning as he began the rites.

The entire process took another half hour.

The bride Lei Yunna was sent into the bridal chamber, awaiting the sleepless night of the evening.

And the groom began toasting each table of guests in turn.

Before long, led by the matchmaker, they arrived at Xu Zhangqing's table.

Sun Peng held a wine cup and couldn't help complaining, "Dao Friend Cai, you came but didn't even give me a greeting?"

Xu Zhangqing counter-questioned in surprise, "I greeted your father; didn't he tell you?"

"Uh... seems he did say something about not worrying." Sun Peng carefully recalled.

He mistakenly thought it meant not to worry about the wedding matters.

Unexpectedly, it turned out to be hinting that Xu Zhangqing had already arrived.

What a mess this caused.

Sun Peng had worried for a long time.

Even on the road welcoming the bride he was trembling with fear.

Afraid the day of great joy would turn into the clan's day of mourning.

"Alright, go attend to your business." Xu Zhangqing waved his hand after finishing his wine.

Sun Peng nodded, "Alright, if you have any needs just tell the servants."

Then, he and the matchmaker walked toward another table.

Not long after, Sun Rong sought out Xu Zhangqing.

The two left together, arriving at a garden behind the Sun Family Manor.

It was very quiet here; at this time no one would come to disturb them.

Sun Rong knew the habits of the person before him, so he didn't waste any words, immediately taking out five middle-grade spirit stones and handing them over.

However, what Xu Zhangqing took out was not spirit rice, but spirit rice wine.

No, to be precise, it was high-quality spirit rice wine.

Wine brewed from high-quality spirit rice.

It was one grade below the previous top-grade spirit rice wine.

It was specially brewed for the loose cultivator market.

"Dao Friend Cai, what is this?" Sun Rong said doubtfully.

Xu Zhangqing handed it over with a half-smile: "Try it first."

Sun Rong was stunned for a moment, then reached out to take it.

He first pulled out the cork.

Instantly, a rich aroma of rice mixed with wine surged out.

Although he had not yet drunk it, just the scent alone made Sun Rong involuntarily swallow his saliva!!!
