Chapter 290

In that fragrant cloud that spread for several miles, merman men and women with ornate hairpins and beautiful clothes were supported by rolling water waves, holding colorful boxes in their hands, their appearances beautiful.

Thousands of tall aquatic armored soldiers held spears and halberds, wearing water rhinoceros armor and phoenix-wing helmets, their formations strict and flashing with soaring light.

Among them, some had qualities like beasts, some had beaks like birds, and their appearances were strange and bizarre, with different postures, not deliberately trying to show a perfect human form.

Their awe-inspiring majesty and drifting killing intent—

A display of power that shook the wilderness; the momentum was truly not small!

And as Chen Hang looked, he saw an old man sitting in a carriage with a canopy, small in stature, with a purple-gold jade plaque hanging from his waist.

This old man did not hide his strange appearance, letting anyone who saw him know that he was of the demon spirit lineage; his forehead was bright and full, and his long beard drifted, hanging down to his knees, almost reaching the ground.

And his back was slightly hunched, carrying a large turtle shell, which was quite a comical sight, making people unable to help but smile.

"..."

Chen Hang's gaze stayed briefly on that turtle shell, then moved away calmly, but he felt emotional in his heart.

Because of practicing the divination method known as the *Master Zhou Yuan Secret Turtle Divination*.

He was not entirely ignorant of the quality of turtle shells and possessed some understanding.

The color of the turtle shell on the old man was yellow-white, bright, and moist, not dim or dark; its color stole the luster of glaze, and its light shot like gold and jade, clearly belonging to a true spirit turtle.

But apart from the color, the quality of this turtle shell had the distinction of four grades: "King, Marquis, General, and Judge."

Below the plate near the head, there were two patterns embracing the head and slanting out, known as "Soaring to the Sky," which was called "King."

In the left and right shells, there was an eye each, known as "Marquis."

One with an eye on the left but not on the right was called "Judge."

One with an eye on the right but not on the left was called "General"...

The turtle shell on the old man was bright in color, and the various patterns perfectly matched the "King" appearance.

It was truly an out-and-out strange treasure!

It was far superior to the thousand-year-old spirit turtle shell in Chen Hang's hands!

And very soon, that fragrant cloud arrived nearby.

The turtle-shell old man smiled, leaped from the carriage, and first stated his identity and origin, saying that he was the envoy of the Long Gong specially in charge of entertaining guests, with the common name Tian Ying.

During the son-in-law selection Dharma Assembly, the cultivators would all be looked after by him; no matter the size of the matter, they could just ask him, Tian Ying.

And after some pleasantries and saying some polite words.

Tian Ying then waved his hand, and those beautiful merman men and women drove the water waves, stepped out from the crowd, and came slowly before the cultivators on the peak.

They lifted the lids of the boxes in their hands, revealing the precious items supported by colorful silk at the bottom.

"This elixir... is it the Three-Five Wonderful Spirit Elixir?"

Chen Hang took a look, pondered for a moment, and asked.

The merman girl in front of him was small in stature, with round and clear eyes, wearing a beautiful palace dress that trailed on the ground, looking very lovely.

Hearing Chen Hang's question, the merman girl boldly looked up at him, and then a streak of red blush appeared on her cheeks involuntarily.

But she did not lower her head, instead looking him over carefully a few more times, as if she wanted to firmly remember Chen Hang's appearance.

After waiting for a moment, she nodded her head vigorously and smiled shyly:

"Guest has a sharp eye; this is indeed the Three-Five Wonderful Spirit Elixir!"

Hearing this, Chen Hang nodded, put the colorful box into his sleeve, and praised:

"To actually use this elixir as a greeting gift, the Long Gong is truly wealthy; you are truly too polite."

The Three-Five Wonderful Spirit Elixir was not an elixir for increasing cultivation, but a holy medicine for healing, with extraordinary effects.

Because this elixir could be said to be the essence of the water, many of the medicinal materials grew in dangerous places in the deep sea, which were hard to find on land.

Therefore, the production was scarce, and even in places like the Yuquan Immortal Market, it was not always in stock, and shortages were common.

One must know that when Daoists fight, there are inevitably injuries.

Even if no signs or abnormalities appear for a time.

But as time accumulates, when it is clearly perceived in the future, the body will already be damaged, to the point of affecting the foundation; such possibilities are not lacking.

However, if one has this elixir by one's side, swallowing it into the belly to dissolve chronic illnesses and stubborn diseases is an easy matter, not difficult!

There were several thousand cultivators in the field right now.

Giving everyone a Three-Five Wonderful Spirit Elixir was not a small number.

This move by the Long Gong was truly expensive, making Chen Hang unable to help but sigh...

At this time, in the fragrant cloud, seeing the cultivators receiving the Three-Five Wonderful Spirit Elixir, most had a trace of satisfaction in their eyes.

Tian Ying also nodded slightly, waved his hand, and after saying a few words with a smile, he led the cultivators to find residences to stay, each resting and recuperating.

At the same time.

East Sea Long Gong.

Since hearing the sound of bells and drums played by Tian Ying's team.

Among the layers of magnificent towers and palaces, a handsome man with dragon horns, an heroic and stern demeanor, and wearing a beautiful apricot-yellow robe was also thoughtful, slowly putting down the document in his hand.

He raised his golden pupils and looked outside the hall, casting his gaze toward the infinite distance.

It was not until Tian Ying had led the cultivators back to the guest houses to rest and arranged everything properly.

That he slowly narrowed his eyes, smiled inexplicably, and said to a boy transformed from a spirit turtle below the steps:

"Tian Yi, your father Tian Ying is truly willing to bleed; I clearly only allocated Wonderful Qi Elixir to those outer cultivators, yet your father took it out of his own pocket and brought out the Three-Five Wonderful Spirit Elixir to do a favor.

I didn't know your family had ever been so wealthy?"

Hearing these words.

Below the jade steps, a boy with an honest face hurriedly bowed to the ground and smiled:

"The Dragon Lord specially ordered the Master to organize this son-in-law selection Dharma Assembly, which shows that the Master is truly highly valued by the Dragon Lord! And after my father learned of this, he was naturally ecstatic, swearing to share the Master's worries and handle this matter beautifully!

What is a little money? Even if it means bankruptcy, as long as these land cultivators can accept the favor and remember the Master's great name, my father is willing to do it, with no complaints or regrets!"

These words were spoken beautifully; the man nodded and smiled:

"Your father has heart, knowing that I am competing for favor with my brothers, and specifically came to share my worries... It's just that there's no need to overly curry favor with those land cultivators!

My Long Gong has its own rules and laws; if I have to wait for them to accept the favor and help me, I don't know what year or month it will be, and I'm afraid it won't show any results.

Stop here, do not do it again!"

Hearing this, Tian Yi kowtowed repeatedly, answering in the affirmative.

And seeing that the man had put down the document in his hand and had some free time, his mood seemed quite good.

Tian Yi hesitated again and again, but still voiced a bitter matter:

"Master, there is one thing I don't know whether to say or not; a quarter of an hour ago, the little slave received a flying letter, which said that someone wants to come to the Long Gong to visit the Master..."

"Visit..."

The man originally had a smile on his face, but seeing Tian Yi's awkward expression, he guessed something, frowned instantly, and his tone changed slightly:

"That green bird has come to sponge again? Hasn't she not been seen for several years? Why, as soon as she appears, she comes to the Long Gong?"

"..."

Tian Yi had bitter words that he could not speak, only kowtowing.

And before the man could ask again.

Several more golden-melon warriors ran into the hall in a panic, bowed to the steps, and said helplessly:

"Fourteenth Prince, that fat bird suddenly appeared just now; we couldn't hurt her too much, so we let her break in. She is now calling for the Fourteenth Prince to go see her, saying she has a major matter concerning life to discuss..."

"Major matter? A sponger like her, what major matter could she have! She is becoming increasingly ignorant of etiquette!"

The man raised his eyebrows and sneered disdainfully.

But thinking of the master behind the green bird.

He still softened his voice slightly, hesitated for a moment, and said helplessly:

"Let's go, lead me there, and see what tricks this stupid bird has again... If she is still being unreasonable, don't blame me for skinning her and beating her out with sticks!"

Hearing this, the golden-melon warriors hurriedly stood up and led the way.

Before long, the group arrived grandly in front of a magnificent crystal palace.

The man snorted coldly, brushed aside the kneeling maids and palace attendants, and stepped onto the long steps.

And as he looked into the palace, he saw delicacies piled high on the jade tables, along with plenty of fine wine, exotic fruits, and strange vegetables, the aroma of which was intoxicating and filled the room; it was truly luxurious.

At this moment, hearing the movement.

Behind the jade table, a round and fat green-clothed girl, like a little pig, wiped her oily mouth and struggled to poke her head out from among the cups and plates.

As soon as she saw the Fourteenth Prince, she giggled and reached out enthusiastically to greet him:

"Cousin, you're here! Hurry up and come eat with me; I've been waiting for you for a long time!"

Hearing this, the man's face turned black, and he cursed in his heart:

"Climbing the family tree! Who is your cousin?"
