Chapter 679: The Unconventional Emperor Fenghua (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

"Young Master Xu, this is Lord Nian Zhaolu, a Tianyang Xingjun from the Ling'an Tianyang Xingjun Manor."

The moment Xu Jin opened the door, his expression became incomparably solemn, because he sensed the aura of a Tenth Tier expert.

Only after opening the door, everyone was smiling, including that Tenth Tier Tianyang Xingjun expert Nian Zhaolu, who was looking at him with a face full of smiles, making Xu Jin realize they shouldn't be here to cause trouble.

Immediately, he let them inside, feeling completely bewildered.

"Young Master Xu, this Tianyang Xingjun Nian is here to recruit a son-in-law. I congratulate you first, Young Master Xu." The guard who had led the way earlier had a flattering smile, clearly the type who had received benefits.

Xu Jin looked stunned.

That Tianyang Xingjun Nian Zhaolu was not in a hurry, but the guard pulled Xu Jin aside and gave him a crash course on the Dao Palace tradition of "recruiting a son-in-law" in the shortest possible time, then advised, "Young Master Xu, this is a heaven-defying opportunity to change your destiny that others can't even beg for.

The Nian Manor has two Star Lords. If you enter the Nian Manor, you will not only have support in the Dao Palace, but your future cultivation resources will also be guaranteed, and your cultivation opportunities will be more numerous.

Moreover, the two great Star Lords of the Nian Manor can give you guidance at any time.

You must grasp such an opportunity well."

Only then did Xu Jin understand.

In his past life's history, there was "recruiting a son-in-law under the list," and he didn't expect there to be such a thing as "recruiting a son-in-law in the Dao Palace" here.

Of course, the basis for both things was the same: they had set their sights on the target's future development potential.

How should he put it? If Xu Jin were truly an ordinary disciple from a small-world star domain, he might have really agreed.

After all, it was a matter of gaining both people and wealth.

But now, it was different.

With his mind made up, just as he was about to refuse, the Tenth Tier Tianyang Xingjun Nian Zhaolu, who had followed, shifted his gaze. "Young Hero Xu, let's chat for a few words."

A Tianyang Xingjun spoke, and just by staring over, an invisible pressure came like a mountain.

The Eighth Tier guard who was speaking was unable to speak for an instant under this pressure.

Inside Xu Jin's body, his Dao Fetus instantly sank into the core of the Heavenly Cloud Tower, and the starlight flickered slightly. This invisible pressure was directly reduced by ninety percent, and then Xu Jin, as if nothing had happened, walked straight to Nian Zhaolu, bowed slightly, and sat down opposite him.

A strange light flashed across Nian Zhaolu's eyes.

The performance of this Xu Jin before him was stronger than they had estimated. Looking at it this way, then...

"Young Hero Xu, you already know my intention! My Nian Manor has a daughter who is as beautiful as a flower, and her talent is even more outstanding. She is currently choosing a spouse, and my eldest brother, seeing that Young Hero Xu is a man of talent and has a bright future, specifically asked me to come and propose marriage in person," Nian Zhaolu said directly.

"Lord Nian, I'm afra—"

"Young Master Xu, don't be in a hurry to refuse. Listen to the other terms first.

If Young Master Xu enters my Nian Manor, among the three star domains under my Nian Manor's command, Young Master Xu can choose thirty percent of the land in one star domain as your private cultivation resource supply.

Besides this, we can strive for ten days of cultivation time in the Dao Palace's inheritance secret realm for Young Master Xu every year!

Also, Young Master Xu is currently only at the Eighth Tier. When forging your life-bound spirit treasure, our Nian Manor can provide three portions of spirit materials and one portion of treasure material for free.

When Young Master Xu forges your life-bound suppression weapon, there will also be help.

Additionally, my eldest brother and I are both Star Lords. Although we have not yet attained the Dao of True Person, we can still provide guidance to Young Master Xu.

At that time, as long as Young Master Xu has any doubts in cultivation, my eldest brother and I will know everything and say everything!" Nian Zhaolu offered heavy benefits directly.

To tell the truth, the resources offered by the Nian Manor were very tempting to an Eighth Tier cultivator of ordinary background.

But Xu Jin was not an ordinary person.

"Lord Nian, I'm afra—"

"Young Hero Xu, don't be in a hurry to refuse!"

Tenth Tier Tianyang Xingjun Nian Zhaolu's expression sank slightly. "How about this, when I came, my eldest brother said that if we find a young person with excellent character and talent, our Nian Manor can spend heavily.

How about this, three star domains, you choose half a domain of any star domain, and all the output and gains will be yours to control..."

"Only half a domain!"

The voice of the Prince of Yutang, Zhu Shizhen, suddenly sounded outside the door. "Marquis Nian, using this price to poach my brother-in-law doesn't seem enough.

At least half of the twenty-four star domains under my sister's name will be given to my brother-in-law at that time!

Why don't you add a bit more and see if my brother-in-law will be tempted?"

Nian Zhaolu's gaze changed slightly, staring at the Eighth Tier guard like a blade. The latter broke into a cold sweat instantly, shaking his head in terror.

"Nian has met the Prince of Yutang."

Nian Zhaolu bowed slightly to Zhu Shizhen, then glanced at Xu Jin and said, "I didn't know that this Young Hero Xu had already married into the Yutang Prince Manor!

If I had known, I absolutely wouldn't have come to disturb you."

"Married into?"

Zhu Shizhen shook his head. "Marquis Nian, stop joking. My brother-in-law will establish his own manor to marry my sister at that time. Hmm, the dowry from our Yutang Prince Manor will be at least twelve small-world star domains.

Look, do you want to add a bit more?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Nian Zhaolu's face sank, and he bowed coldly to Zhu Shizhen, saying, "Then Nian hopes to wait for the day to drink Young Hero Xu's wedding wine."

Having said that, he flicked his sleeves and left.

The next instant, Zhu Shizhen just glanced at the Eighth Tier guard, and that Eighth Tier guard fell to his knees with a "pa" sound.

"How many families did you sell it to?" Zhu Shizhen asked coldly.

"Reporting to the Prince, five families inquired, and I sold the news to three families. The Nian Manor was the first to come."

"Go, just say that Xu Jin is a high-ranking son-in-law of our Yutang Prince Manor, with a dowry of twelve star domains."

"I don't dare!"

"Do as you're told!" Zhu Shizhen shouted.

"Prince..."

Xu Jin's expression sank instantly, showing displeasure, and he was about to stop him.

Xu Jin didn't mind Zhu Shizhen joking around with him, calling him brother-in-law or whatever.

He could afford to take that kind of joke.

But now that it was for real, and he wanted to make it public without his consent, this made Xu Jin a bit annoyed.

"Benefactor, don't be angry. Wait a moment, I'll explain it to you in detail." Zhu Shizhen couldn't fail to see that Xu Jin was angry, so he immediately explained via sound transmission, directly using the title of "Benefactor."

A few breaths later, the guard left, and Zhu Shizhen immediately set up a ball of starlight to isolate the inside from the outside, then hurriedly apologized and explained.

"Benefactor, don't be angry. I had no choice."

While speaking, Zhu Shizhen told him everything about True Person Commander Tian Zhang's questioning.

Including saying he was his brother-in-law in front of True Person Commander Tian Zhang.

But this guy was also bold, and added oil and vinegar to it.

"Benefactor, you don't know, it was only because I reacted quickly! That True Person Commander Tian Zhang was about to recruit you as a son-in-law, directly asking me about your marriage and family situation, saying he would send someone to your home to propose marriage in person to show his importance.

It was fortunate that my brain turned fast at the time, and I directly said that you and my sister were already engaged.

Otherwise, if this True Person Commander Tian Zhang had sent a trusted aide to visit the family background we fabricated in the small world, it would have inevitably been exposed," Zhu Shizhen said with lingering fear.

Xu Jin looked at Zhu Shizhen, who was lingering in fear, with suspicion. He had a feeling he had been tricked onto a pirate ship by this kid, but he just had no evidence.

But having experienced being directly recruited by Nian Zhaolu, he felt that the Dongxuan Star Realm had such customs, so what Zhu Shizhen said was very likely true.

"You do have a talent for improvisation."

Xu Jin praised him casually, and this guy Zhu Shizhen immediately climbed up the pole, boasting about his improvisation skills and rationalizing his spreading of the news.

There was only one reason: he had made a contribution through improvisation!

A great contribution!

There was no other way, Xu Jin could only accept it.

"But what about your sister?" Xu Jin frowned.

"Brother-in-law, my sister isn't afraid, what are you afraid of?

Besides, my sister is a national beauty, could it be that you are the one suffering a loss?

Of course, if you really don't want to in the end, it's not hard to handle.

There are plenty of people who get married and then get divorced; you and my sister are only engaged now.

Not to mention that we are people of cultivation.

I wouldn't dare to trick you even if I tricked anyone else!"

Hearing this, Xu Jin could only nod.

Actually, what he was worried about was not engagement or divorce. Just as Zhu Shizhen said, people of cultivation and children of the rivers and lakes could not really be bound by a piece of marriage contract.

It was not uncommon for wandering swordsmen to disappear from the world after sleeping with someone for one night.

Of course, Xu Jin was not that kind of person.

What Xu Jin was worried about was the causal grievances that would follow after this news was released.

Xu Jin knew exactly what Zhu Shizhen was thinking.

Now that this news was released, it meant that Xu Jin would have to face the external pressure and various grievances faced by the Yutang Prince Manor together with Zhu Shizhen in the future.

On this point, even though Xu Jin had previously agreed to be a guest of the Yutang Prince Manor, he was a bit unhappy at this moment.

However, Xu Jin had his own plans.

Now that the identity issue had been resolved, as long as the Daoist Grand Selection ended and he contacted his teacher again, Xu Jin felt that leaving the Dongxuan Star Realm should not be difficult.

By then, no matter how well Zhu Shizhen thought, if he ran away, everything would come to nothing.

Anyway, he had saved who he needed to save, and as for the Eldest Princess of the Yutang Prince Manor, he had never even seen her.

It couldn't be called "pulling out and being heartless."

Thinking this way, it didn't matter.

Anyway, he was a person destined to leave.

It would be a few days at the fastest, and a few months at the latest.

Casually, he chatted with the Prince of Yutang, Zhu Shizhen, and took the opportunity to learn about the effects and ranks of the elixirs he had captured earlier, as well as the customs of the Dongxuan Star Realm.

He would see if he could get some benefits or get some cultivation treasure materials when he left.

In the Star River, on a lonely island in the Star River.

After ten consecutive days of bitter cultivation, the starlight of the silver moon above Emperor Emperor Du Yue's head had already recovered a bit.

Although it would take a few more months to fully recover, it no longer affected her space travel.

Previously, under the continuous backlash, even leaving the Star River lonely island was greatly affected, so she simply cultivated and recovered on her Star River lonely island, which was named Moon Terrace.

But at this very moment, Emperor Emperor Du Yue woke up from her cultivation, not because she had recovered to a certain degree, but because of Xu Jin.

She also knew that Xu Jin, the disciple of Emperor Fenghua, was trapped in the vanguard selection of the Dongxuan Star Realm.

The vanguard selection period had already been ten days, and now more than ten days had passed.

She was thinking about a question: Had Xu Jin managed to fix his identity?

Currently, was he still alive?

Of course, she was actually not interested in this question.

Although Fenghua's disciple was a bit like her "little cotton-padded jacket," it was only "like," not real.

She only cared about Fenghua.

This rescue, in which she participated throughout, had gained her precious time with Fenghua.

From this, she could feel Fenghua's concern for this disciple.

Then the question arose: Now that Fenghua was intimidated by her requirement to accompany her for a month for every time she helped, he didn't dare to ask her easily unless it was a critical juncture. If this Xu Jin had any accidents in this Dongxuan Star Realm and was not handled in time, he would really be gone.

Would Emperor Fenghua hate her or resent her?

Based on her understanding of Fenghua, he certainly wouldn't resent her on his lips.

But in his heart, he would certainly be extremely resentful.

And then he would become more and more resentful.

It might even become the root cause of them becoming strangers in the future.

In the past, it was because she didn't understand this point that she caused the current situation.

Thinking of this, Emperor Emperor Du Yue made a decision.

In the Yuan Domain, inside the Fenghua Imperial Palace, Emperor Fenghua received news from True Person Youyu, saying that his Youyu Sword had vibrated three times.

According to this signal, it meant that his disciple Xu Jin had safely resolved the identity issue.

This made Emperor Fenghua breathe a sigh of relief.

But his heart was still somewhat anxious.

That feeling was like his own child wandering in a foreign land, although he sent a short message saying everything was fine.

But as his Master, he was still incomparably worried.

Had he suffered any hardships?

Had he been controlled?

Had he been targeted or suspected by anyone?

Was there any other danger?

Worry was like a tide.

But unfortunately, there was no way to contact him.

As for Emperor Emperor Du Yue, he did want to speak up.

A month was a month, he would just risk it.

But he also couldn't bear it; after all, Emperor Du Yue was injured, and it felt quite serious. It had only been ten days, so he was embarrassed to disturb her again.

Suddenly, Emperor Fenghua's Thousand Star Order flashed with starlight, and he received a starlight message; it was from Emperor Emperor Du Yue.

With a sweep of his divine sense, Emperor Fenghua was stunned.

A gentle smile bloomed from the corner of Emperor Fenghua's mouth, the gloom between his brows completely dissipated, and his whole person instantly became radiant, as if the entire Fenghua Imperial Palace was shining with the sun.

The gratitude in his heart for Emperor Emperor Du Yue surged up.

Almost at the same time, in the Dao Palace courtyard of the Dongxuan Star Realm, Xu Jin, who was cultivating in seclusion, suddenly showed a look of surprise in his eyes.

The starlight of the Thousand Star Order lit up.

It was a starlight message from his Master, Emperor Fenghua.

The moment he finished reading the message, Xu Jin was happy and settled, and his anxiety disappeared instantly.

Time was pressing, and Xu Jin also reported the current situation, including his experience in the vanguard selection and the experience of obtaining a real identity, to his Master, Emperor Fenghua, at the first opportunity.

After spending so much time together, Xu Jin had almost complete trust in Emperor Fenghua.

【Jin'er, Master already knows your situation. Master has already contacted Emperor Emperor Du Yue. To safely take you away from the Dongxuan Star Realm without anyone noticing, it will take at least half a year. Given your current situation, Master has two arrangements for you to choose from.

The first is for you to go with the flow, keep a low profile as much as possible, and cultivate in the Dongxuan Star Realm for half a year. In half a year at most, Emperor Emperor Du Yue's injuries will recover, and she will be able to take you away.

As long as Emperor Emperor Du Yue's injuries recover, even if you are discovered during the process of taking you away, with her powerful attainments in spatial star arts, she will inevitably be able to take you back safely.】

【The second arrangement is what Master has thought about in the last few days. To tell you the truth, Master has some grievances with Emperor Dongxuan, who rules the Tongxuan Domain, but Emperor Dongxuan also has many commendable points in the path of cultivation.

His expertise in artifact refining is just a facade; the truth is that Emperor Dongxuan's attainments in the Fire system are extremely astonishing.

Most importantly, Emperor Dongxuan is one of the few Emperors who has refined the Innate Li Fire Dao Body and has already condensed the Innate Li Fire Heart within his body.

Many Emperors who specialize in the Fire system have only refined the Innate Li Fire Dao Body, but have not condensed the Innate Li Fire Heart.

And the Innate Li Fire Heart is a shortcut to inheriting the Innate Li Fire Dao rules.

It's like Master possessing the Innate Five Thunder Crystals.

In the future, if your Great Chaos Spirit Body wants to reach completion, then these innate Dao rules will be incomparably important.

What Master can solve for you currently is only the Innate Thunder Essence; for others, you can only slowly seek opportunities, and the difficulty is extremely great.

It can be called the most critical and difficult step for you to refine the Great Chaos Spirit Body.

And Master's meaning is, since you have now obtained a deep identity certification in the Dongxuan Star Realm and have become their Candidate Daoist.

The opportunity is rare, why not give it a try?

See if you can stand out and if you can obtain the opportunity to acquire the Innate Fire Essence in the future?】

In the courtyard, after Xu Jin finished reading Emperor Fenghua's starlight message, his heart jumped violently.

Master's idea was unconventional enough, bold enough!

It was time for him to make a choice again.
