While Zhang Huai was entertaining guests, Xu Rui was also entertaining his few distinguished guests.
"Fellow Daoist Xu, congratulations."
Four eyes, Lin Fengjiao, Jiu Shu, and concubine, all hold fists.
"Thank you, thank you so much. Xu Zhengyang is honored to have several Taoist brothers come together."
"Fellow Daoist Xu, this is my master, Taoist Qingyun, and my uncle, Taoist Qingsong."
Lin Fengjiao, who was the first to get started among the crowd, started to introduce.
Taoist Qingyun is tall, thin and unsmiling.
Taoist Qingsong has a thin face, a short beard on his chin, and is somewhat serious. He is also Uncle Jiu's master.
Looking at the two people, Xu Rui seemed to see Lin Fengjiao and Jiu Shu, their expressions were exactly the same.
Give a fist salute.
"I have heard about the famous name of Maoshan Qizhen for a long time, but when I saw it today, it is indeed well-deserved."
"You're welcome, Fellow Daoist Xu."
The two of them hurriedly returned the gift. Although Xu Junming was on the same level as their disciple, he was a Jindan monk, and his cultivation level was much higher than theirs. In the world of cultivation where masters are the first, it was impossible for them to be on the same level.
"I have long heard from Fengjiao and the others that Daoist Fellow Xu is extremely talented and has extraordinary cultivation. It is indeed true when I see you today." Taoist Qingyun said with a smile.
"Senior, you're welcome."
Even though the other party gave in at every turn, for the sake of Uncle Jiu and the others, he always had to maintain a certain amount of respect.
Xu Rui didn't want their master and apprentice to struggle with this issue, so he changed the topic directly.
"Everyone, please stop standing and talk. Please sit down."
After everyone nodded, the guests and hosts took their seats.
"Fellow Daoist Xu, where is your beautiful new wife? Why didn't you call her out for us to see?" the concubine asked with a smile.
As a woman, she has long been curious about the most beautiful woman in the spiritual world.
"Yu Mei is still greeting some of her close friends. I will come back to see all the Taoist friends later when I have some free time," Xu Rui said.
The concubine wanted to ask again, but was quickly stopped by Uncle Jiu on the side.
After Taoist Qingyun and Taoist Qingsong looked at each other, they each patted their magic bags.
Several jade boxes flew out.
"This is a congratulatory gift from me, Maoshan, to fellow Taoist Xu. I wish fellow Taoist and fellow Taoist Zhang a happy marriage and a son soon."
"Thank you."
Xu Rui was not polite, waved his hand and put away several brocade boxes.
I wasn’t in a hurry to read it, so I put it aside for now.
Taoist Qingyun continued.
"I heard from Fengjiao that Fellow Daoist Xu can refine spiritual weapons?"
"good."
Xu Rui nodded.
"I wonder if Fellow Daoist Xu has time? My junior brother and I also have a spiritual material here. I hope Fellow Daoist can help refine it."
"If it had been anyone else, I would have definitely refused. After all, the wedding is approaching, and I plan to relax a bit after that. But since it was senior who spoke, and based on my friendship with Daoist Lin, Fellow Daoist Four Eyes, and others, the matter of refining the weapon would be Wrap it on me." Xu Rui smiled.
With just one sentence, Lin Fengjiao, Simu and others smiled, which not only brought the relationship closer between the two parties, but also gained the gratitude of Qingyun and Qingsong.
"Thank you Daoyou Xu for your success. I will give you a big thank you when the work is done."
"Haha, easy to say."
After Qingyun and Qingsong exchanged glances, the former said.
"This is the wedding of Mr. Xu Daoyou. The three great patriarchs of Maoshan should have come to congratulate you, but unfortunately as early as three years ago, the three patriarchs all closed their doors because of the revival of spiritual energy in order to break through the realm, so they were unable to come. I hope fellow Taoist Xu will not mind you."
Taoist Qingyun spoke sincerely.
He didn't plan to say this at first, but when he came, he inquired and found out that other Taoist and Buddhist sects had sent Jindan monks here to congratulate him.
Maoshan is just a junior like them, so it is inevitable that people will misunderstand him.
Xu Rui smiled faintly, and for the sake of Si Mu, Uncle Jiu and others, he wouldn't say anything.
However, if Maoshan wanted to ask him to refine weapons in the future, even if Uncle Jiu and others were allowed to come forward, he would not be polite at all.
"Senior, there is no need to apologize, it's just a small matter."
After finishing speaking, Xu Rui changed the topic. After chatting with them for a while, he called the servants of the Zhang family and took everyone to the hotel to stay.
After watching them leave and returning to the living room, he waved and the brocade box on the table flew to him.
Open it with a wave of your hand.
They are all top-grade spiritual fruits of the ninth grade. Given Maoshan's background, they are not considered precious.
I can only say that it is quite satisfactory.
But this is normal. He has good friendships with Simu Lin Fengjiao and others, but he has no friendship with the senior masters of Maoshan.
After collecting the wine fairy's gourd, he stepped into the backyard.
Here Zhang Jie is sitting under a pomegranate tree and reading a book.
"People are gone?"
Xu Rui nodded.
"It's rare for you to meet each other, so I thought we could chat more." Zhang Jie said.
"With Qingsong and Qingyun here, Uncle Jiu and Simu can't let go, so there's nothing to talk about." After a pause, Xu Rui asked, "Where are Ping'an and Chang'an?"
"I was taken to play by my eldest sister and my little sister."
Just when Xu Rui was about to use the Phantom Crow to find the traces of his younger brother, a series of footsteps could be heard at the back door of the backyard.
Soon, Zhang Hongling walked in with Xu Changan.
"Dad, mother."
Seeing the two of them, Xu Changan rushed over with two short legs.
When they were nearly two feet away, one of them fell into his arms like a swallow.
Zhang Jie hurriedly caught him and lovingly wiped the sweat from his forehead.
"Sister, why are you the only ones back? Where are my little sister and Ping An?"
"Going to the front to reconnoiter the enemy's situation." Zhang Hongling smiled and sat down on the stone bench next to him.
"Reconnaissance of the enemy?"
Zhang Jie was stunned.
Zhang Hongling glanced at Xu Rui before saying: "I heard from the servant that Zhao Kong, one of the five heroes of Chongyang Palace, the 'Lonely Bird', the eldest of the four swords of Louguan Tao, the Yitian Sword, Baili Quji, and the four small swordsmen of Longhu Mountain.
Zhong Zhicheng, the 'Master of the Divine Sword' among the Celestial Masters, is here."
"I think back then, the three of them were the most crazy people among the many suitors of my second sister. This time, when I suddenly heard that you were getting married, my little sister was afraid that they would cause trouble."
Zhang Jie frowned instantly.
Back then, she was burdened by her fame, and she was followed by countless good people wherever she went.
‘Gu Wuzi’ Zhao Kong, ‘Yitian Sword’ Baili Quji, and ‘Excalibur Master’ Zhong Zhicheng are the best among them.
Unable to be disturbed, she hid in Jinchanfang City, focusing on breaking through the golden elixir, hoping to control her own destiny.
Later, I met Xu Rui and what happened next.
"I have nothing to do with them. If they insist on causing trouble, don't blame me for being rude." Zhang Jie's pretty eyes were filled with embarrassment.
She already has her heart set on something, and doesn't want to cause a rift between them as a couple because of these things.
Xu Rui was keenly aware of the change in her mind, and after holding his beloved wife's right hand, he smiled lightly.
"If someone is really ignorant, I don't need you to do anything, I will take care of it myself."
Zhang Jie nodded obediently and said no more.
Seeing his increasingly profound eyes, Zhang Hongling began to worry about the three of them for some unknown reason.
Although she had never seen Xu Rui's abilities with her own eyes, she could feel the strong aura exuding from him unintentionally.
Even my father, Zhang Huai, who has been through the golden elixir for many years, is a few points behind compared to him.
In addition, the opponent is good at refining weapons, so there is no shortage of magical weapons to take advantage of.
If we really want to take action, Zhao Kong, Baili Quji and Zhong Zhicheng may not be able to do it together.
"Brother-in-law, Zhao and Kong are definitely no match for you, but the sect behind them is very powerful. Don't harm their lives unless necessary."
"Don't worry, eldest sister, I am sensible." Xu Rui said with a smile.
Zhang Hongling nodded slightly and sighed secretly.
"I hope Zhao Kong and the others won't cause any trouble."
Now that the Zhang family and Xu Rui are tied together, if there is a conflict with the three major sects because of this matter, it will be difficult for the Zhang family to walk in the spiritual world in the future.
…
Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye it was the day that Xu Rui and Zhang Jie got married.
The once empty valley was already filled with tables, and countless servants of the Zhang family laid out dishes, fruits and vegetables. All the monks who came here could sit down and eat and drink.
The wealth accumulated by the Zhang family over thousands of years is nothing but ordinary wine, meat, fruits and vegetables.
As for those who received the invitation, they gathered in the Tianyun Third Hall within the Zhang family.
This is where the wedding actually takes place.
The number of people is relatively small, and eating has become a real spiritual thing.
On the main table in the middle of Tianyun Hall, Zhang Huai and the senior officials of each major sect were sitting.
Hao Changlin, the elder of Chongyang Palace, the Taoist Jin Yan; Taoist Tianyun, the elder of Louguan Taoism, who had a relationship with Xu Rui; Wu Xian, the crazy monk of Wenshu Monastery in Mount Wutai; Monk Lukong of Nanhua Temple; the head of the Shi family
Shi Yun; Longhushan's Taoist Master Zhang Xun.
In the world of spiritual practice, there are four great sects, three great sects of Buddhism, and three great schools.
Except for Maoshan, Fuhu Temple and the Aixinjueluo family did not send Jindan monks here, everyone else came.
As for the Changbai Mountain Demon League and the Northwest Honglian Temple, they are demons themselves and cannot urinate in the same pot as Taoism and Buddhism. It is normal not to come.
Except for these sect members.
Among the casual cultivators, there are also ancestor Jin Chan, Lingxu swordsman Baiyun temple master Zhao Wuji, and the ‘god beggar’ Luo Jiuzhi who they had a close relationship with.
Ancestor Jin Chan and Zhao Wuji were sitting in the city and could not leave. It seemed disrespectful to let their disciples come here, so they came here as clones.
The god beggar Luo Jiu pointed at the wandering clouds and wild cranes, so he naturally came to visit in person.
The latter had the highest cultivation level and the most respected status, so he was able to sit on Zhang Huai's left hand.
"Fellow Daoist Zhang, who is Xu Zhengyang's master?"
Luo Jiuzhi asked, and everyone around him looked over.
Everyone who can sit here already has a certain understanding of Xu Rui. They also know that he has two junior brothers in Jindan.
Can cultivate three golden elixirs, how powerful is the master behind them?
In addition to giving face to the Zhang family, they came to the wedding because they wanted to meet the 'master' who the dragon had never seen before.
Facing everyone's gaze, Zhang Huai showed a wry smile and shook his head slightly.
"I've already asked Zhengyang, and he said that his master only wanted to practice hard and didn't want to come here. So, let alone you, even I didn't see him."
Everyone exchanged glances.
"I heard that Taoist friend Xu Zhengyang's master is a loose cultivator in West Kunlun. Senior Luo has been a Taoist for many years and has traveled around the world. Do you know this person?" Hao Changlin asked.
After hearing this, Luo Jiuzhi thought hard for a while and then shook his head.
"I'm very sorry, the old lady doesn't know this person either."
