759. Chapter 757: Grand Ceremony for Recruiting a Son-in-Law

He knew he could no longer wait.

Seeking Feng Tianfeng's help was a wise choice.

Thus, he picked up brush, ink, paper, wrote a letter detailing the transaction he needed, and hoped to receive a reply as soon as possible.

After a moment, the flying talisman emitted a faint light and then completely vanished into the void.

Lu Yuan hoped in his heart that Feng Tianfeng would soon see the flying talisman and reply to him.

Lu Yuan walked with light steps, left the Ming Anli cottage, and arrived outside Qingyang City.

He tightly gripped the flying sword in his hand, his eyes revealing a hint of anticipation and excitement.

Today, he would go to Curio City to search for alchemical ingredients; for an alchemist, this was a rare opportunity.

Before leaving, he received Feng Tianfeng's reply.

The letter detailed the required transaction matters and expressed willingness to cooperate with Lu Yuan.

This made Lu Yuan's heart fill with joy, feeling extremely fortunate.

Just as he was preparing to soar on his flying sword and set off, suddenly a figure flew swiftly from afar.

Lu Yuan cracked a smile, recognizing that person.

"Zifeng Yun!"

Lu Yuan shouted.

Zifeng Yun also flew toward Lu Yuan with a look of surprise, and they both halted in midair, greeting each other.

"I really didn't expect to meet you here."

Zifeng Yun waved his hand, signaling others to stop, then approached Lu Yuan.

"I was about to go to Qingyang City to attend the Ziyun Clan's recruitment of sons-in-law ceremony; what about you?"

"I am heading to Curio City to look for alchemical ingredients, though the distance is not far."

Lu Yuan said with a smile.

"In that case, we can travel together and look out for each other."

Zifeng Yun proposed.

Lu Yuan nodded, feeling some anticipation about acting together with Zifeng Yun and thus having a chance to enter the Ziyun Clan.

On the road, Lu Yuan and Zifeng Yun exchanged the latest news about Qingyang City.

He learned that the Ziyun Clan was about to hold the recruitment of sons-in-law ceremony and the series of events that had occurred beforehand.

Although he had no interest in such activities, considering that his transactions with Zi Xi'er and her sister Zi Cui Ling were not yet completed, Lu Yuan decided to temporarily stay in Qingyang City to observe how things develop.

Finally, their destination, Qingyang City, appeared in sight.

The city gate towered high and straight, with two huge, splendid towers standing within.

This city was bustling and noisy, with a constant flow of people.

When they entered Qingyang City, a messenger dressed in fine clothes suddenly appeared before them.

"I am a messenger of the Ziyun Clan; Lady Zi Cui Ling specially invites you to attend this recruitment of sons-in-law ceremony."

The messenger formally stated the purpose to Lu Yuan.

This made Lu Yuan very surprised, and a question arose in his mind: Could it be that the Ziyun Clan's patriarch has found Zi Xi'er back, yet still holds the recruitment of sons-in-law ceremony?

At the manor gate, Lu Yuan saw Cheng Lingsu, who confirmed his status as a third-rank alchemist.

She smiled as she approached him and softly said, "Congratulations, Mr. Lu, you have successfully passed the body examination."

Lu Yuan nodded happily, knowing that this status would provide him more opportunities and resources within the manor.

After entering the manor, Lu Yuan immediately sensed the atmosphere of the Ziyun Clan.

The manor was lively and noisy, with cultivators moving about, their eyes revealing anticipation and competitive mindset for this selection.

Lu Yuan followed Cheng Lingsu into the hall, where a late Golden Core cultivator, third-rank alchemist, second-rank formation master—Zhu Zhenjun—caught his attention.

Zhu Zhenjun is one of the representative disciples of the Heavenly Initiation Sect, with notable accomplishments in both cultivation and alchemy.

Many cultivators hold him in awe; although he is silent and reserved, his powerful aura cannot be concealed.

Lu Yuan felt a pressure growing in his heart, yet simultaneously strengthened his resolve to strive upward.

As cultivators gradually gathered in the manor, the Ziyun Clan's patriarch, Zitian Li, ascended the presiding platform.

She wore a purple robe, her countenance graceful, her demeanor noble.

With her announcement, the selection officially began.

Participants will demonstrate their talents and abilities through performance in cultivation, alchemy, weapon forging, formations, and talisman crafting, among other aspects.

A hint of anticipation and excitement rose in Lu Yuan's heart.

This selection is an opportunity for him to display his strength and value.

He hopes to prove before everyone that he not only possesses profound immortal methods and alchemical skills, but can also achieve something in formations and talisman crafting.

As the first round of selection began, Lu Yuan noticed the atmosphere inside become tense and full of competition.

Cultivators unleashed various immortal methods, drawing beautiful and magnificent arcs in the air, radiating splendid light.

Some condensed intense flames, others released icy chills; each participant exerted themselves to display their strength.

The Ziyun Clan's senior members sat on the presiding platform, carefully observing each participant's performance, with fine beads of sweat appearing on their foreheads.

They knew that the selection was crucial for these cultivators; it not only concerned their chance to enter the Ziyun Clan, but also affected the clan's reputation and status in the Xian Jie.

Lu Yuan silently blessed in his heart that each participant could display their best strength.

Although the competition was fierce, he still held respect for each person.

After all, each is pursuing their own dreams and goals, striving hard on the path of cultivation.

As the first round of selection neared its end, Lu Yuan realized he still had many aspects needing improvement.

Although his immortal arts are proficient and his pill-refining skills are superb, he still lacks in formations and talisman crafting.

He understands that he needs to strengthen his understanding and mastery of formations and talisman crafting.

During the selection process, Zi Xi'er needed dual cultivation to harmonize because her body contained excessive yin qi.

True Lord Zhu raised a question, why Zi Xi'er was urgently seeking a partner, sparking discussion among the crowd.

Zi Xi'er frankly admitted that her internal problem caused many suitors who intended to propose to withdraw.

Lu Yuan inferred that her constitution was special, but traditional alchemy methods were ineffective.

After an examination with consent, it was discovered that yin qi had invaded her internal organs, and ordinary pills could not eradicate it.

After prolonged contemplation, Lu Yuan proposed an unconventional but potentially effective solution.

On the central platform in the hall, cultivators successively displayed their immortal arts and skills, with round after round of exchange and clash stirring the energy fluctuations permeating the air.

True Lord Zhu gazed at Zi Xi'er and Lu Yuan on the platform, a hint of doubt appearing on his face.

"Why is Zi Xi'er so urgently seeking a partner?"

"Could there be some special reason?"

True Lord Zhu asked in a low voice to the cultivator beside him.

Upon hearing this, everyone turned their gazes toward Zi Xi'er.

She said with a smile, "Frankly speaking, I tell everyone, my body contains excessive yin qi, and I need dual cultivation to harmonize."

These remarks sparked discussion among the crowd, with some speculating that she cultivated a fusion of some netherfire technique, causing an imbalance of yin and yang within her body. (End of chapter)
