"It's not that Liu doesn't want to keep a low profile, but his strength doesn't allow it!"
He muttered to himself.
Today's world of immortality is also an era where one pays great attention to family background.
Compared to the Jindan Yan family, Jiang Qiushui and Ji Ruyan's backgrounds can only be regarded as very ordinary.
If it remains the same as before and just asks a few familiar people to do it hastily, in the eyes of most monks, this will undoubtedly be a slight.
After all, this is the daughter of the Jindan family, and Yan Quer is the elder of the sect's Jindan family.
And with Liu Yu's status at this time, as the majestic Nascent Soul Lord, he is not allowed to keep a low profile.
So after all, it doesn’t count as being partial on his part, right?
Shaking his head slightly, Liu Yu's figure flashed and disappeared instantly.
The next moment, he appeared directly above Xiao Qing's head and welcomed Yan Quer into his cave with a less "formal" ceremony.
Under the spotlight, Yan Kuer's face in the sedan chair was full of smiles, but also a little shy.
Although she is not a Taoist monk, the fact that she can perform such a ceremony is enough to prove that Senior Brother Liu attaches great importance to her.
"Dong dong dong~"
The entire ceremony was filled with noisy gongs and drums.
The specific rituals and procedures for taking a concubine can be handled by the monks below who are well versed in etiquette.
Liu Yu showed up, and with instructions that were as simple as possible, the process was quickly completed.
Soon, it was time for the wedding ceremony.
…
The crowd dispersed, and Tongtian Peak became deserted again.
It was late at night, and the night covered the sky and the earth. From time to time, a few rays of light flashed across the sky in the distance.
But Liu Yudong Mansion was brightly lit at this time.
There are red lanterns hanging in every corner, and many exquisite gadgets decorate the cave.
The candlelight shines through the red lampshade, emitting a festive soft red light, creating a warm atmosphere.
Jiang Qiushui and Ji Ruyan naturally enjoyed the grand ceremony held when Yan Quer came over.
However, after some kind words from Liu Yu to comfort them, the two women retreated very sensibly.
After all, looking at all the male cultivators and elders of the sect, which one does not have three wives and four concubines?
The higher the cultivation level, the more difficult it is to give birth to offspring, and the offspring born may not necessarily have spiritual roots, or have excellent spiritual roots and are suitable for cultivating immortals.
In this case, for the continuation of the family, the more descendants the better.
Therefore, the existence of three wives and four concubines is indeed very reasonable to a certain extent.
After retreating from a group of maids and standing in the center of the hall looking at the bedroom door, Liu Yu slowly walked to the door.
"Squeak~"
With a gentle push, the door opens.
At a glance, he saw a slender female nun wearing a bright red wedding dress, sitting quietly on the edge of the bed.
A piece of bright red satin covered her face, so she couldn't see the woman's face clearly, but her breath was very familiar.
"This feeling seems pretty good."
This thought flashed across Liu Yu's mind.
Perhaps due to the influence of the atmosphere of the ceremony, he also had a different feeling at this moment, and his mood was not as peaceful as he imagined.
After a pause, Liu Yu strode forward and stopped in front of Yan Quer.
At this time, the two were less than one foot apart, which had exceeded the "safety range" between ordinary monks.
A faint fragrance suddenly came from the direction of Yan Quer.
Even with the "red hijab" blocking her, Liu Yu could feel that the other person's eyes were looking at him under the red silk satin without the need for a spiritual glance.
You can even feel the subtle changes in his emotions.
Nervous and looking forward to it.
This feeling is very subtle.
Looking at Yan Kuer, who was wearing a red wedding dress and standing close at hand, a trace of reminiscence flashed in Liu Yu's eyes.
The scene of their first acquaintance, the story of the "hero saving the beauty", came to mind again.
tall back
"Ha~!"
Thinking of this, Liu Yu smiled silently.
Without letting the other party wait too long, he slowly stretched out his right hand and slowly picked up the red hijab.
Yan Kuer, who was dressed up and her appearance became more beautiful and exquisite, gradually appeared in front of her eyes.
As the big hand stretched out and gently placed it on the lower edge of the red hijab, Yan Quer's breathing became faster.
The body stiffened and instinctively tensed up.
But then, she seemed to think of something, and her body gradually relaxed again.
One breath, two breaths
Staring at the other party's appearance at this moment, Liu Yu was not in a hurry to complete the process of taking a concubine. She lifted up the red hijab very slowly, as if she wanted to remember this moment forever.
It wasn't until four breaths later that he lifted up the red hijab.
Suddenly, bright eyes appeared timidly in front of him.
Yan Quer suppressed her shame and mustered up the courage to look directly at the person she loved in front of her.
Their eyes met, and under the soft light, an ambiguous atmosphere gradually spread.
Liu Yu sat down on the edge of the bed and gently held her weak, boneless hands. The soft and jade-like touch immediately came to her.
At this moment, the silence was louder than the sound, and he gradually moved closer to complete the final steps of the concubine-taking ceremony.
The candlelight flickered, and the two figures on the ground gradually overlapped.
(Twenty thousand words are omitted here)
…
A few days later, Tongtian Peak returned to its former glory.
Liu Yu called the three concubines to the cave at the same time, so that the three women could get to know each other again with their new identities.
He looked serious at the beginning and reiterated his "husband's principles".
"Sister **, Sister Ji, this is my first time here, please take good care of me in the future."
At the dinner table, Yan Quer smiled brightly and raised her glass to toast the other two women.
"Sister Yan, you're welcome. I will work together from now on so that your husband will have no worries."
"Jiang Qiushui," Ji Ruyan replied with a smile on his face, without any sign of his previous taste.
After a few glasses of spiritual wine, the strangeness and barriers seemed to be eliminated, and the three women began to talk and laugh, telling some interesting stories about the sect.
At least that's the case on the surface.
However, you can still see the three women's camp from where they are sitting. Jiang Qiushui and Ji Ruyan are sitting on the right side, while Yan Quer is sitting on the left side.
Although they appear to be very harmonious on the surface, the three women are now all in Jindan cultivation, and there will inevitably be some friction when they get along with each other in the future.
Jiang Qiushui was born in the Biyuan family, and his actions may be slightly biased towards the Biyuan family.
As for Yan Quer, there is no doubt that she belongs to the family lineage and has received full support from the family lineage.
As for Ji Ruyan, she is temporarily on the same side as Jiang Qiushui, and is highly wary of Yan Quer, a newcomer with a strong background.
The combination of various factors will inevitably lead to some conflicts in the future.
Apart from anything else, it is impossible to satisfy everyone just as to where Liu Yu spends the night after practicing.
"If Zhuo Mengzhen also joins them, the composition of my concubines will be even more complicated."
"I wonder how many camps will be divided into when the time comes?"
In the main seat, Liu Yu swallowed a piece of golden monster meat, and suddenly this strange thought occurred to him.
However, under his suppression, the overt and covert fights between the women will still maintain a certain degree of restraint and will not cause excessive internal friction.
After all, they are all smart people and know Liu Yu's bottom line.
During the banquet, the three women's laughter and laughter kept ringing intermittently in the hall. The scene seemed very warm for a time.
"How wonderful. This kind of warm and humane family gathering is really a new experience."
"It's a pity that my heart has long been placed on the great road, and I am destined to explore the endless truth throughout my life."
Looking at the warm scene in front of her, Liu Yu felt a little emotional.
…
Tongtian Peak Cave Mansion.
Practice room.
Liu Yu finished his training, slowly opened his eyes, felt the improvement in his cultivation, and shook his head helplessly.
I am used to taking pills to quickly improve my cultivation, but this way of meditating and refining qi to slowly improve is really a bit unaccustomed to me.
However, this is also the current situation of most Nascent Soul cultivators. After all, regardless of Tiannan or Central Territory, fourth-level immortal cultivation resources are very scarce.
"I hope I can gain something from the Alchemy Sect exchange meeting."
With this thought in mind, Liu Yu stopped her work and stood up and walked towards the hall.
After just one retreat, another year has passed. Counting the one year before taking the concubine, the deadline agreed with Zihong Zhenjun has come.
Although looking at all the Nascent Soul Lords, his qualifications are already considered to be at the "genius" level.
But without the aid of elixirs and spiritual objects, it would still take 240 to 50 years to reach the peak of the early stage of Nascent Soul.
Liu Yu cannot accept the result that Immortal Mansion has huge advantages but cannot use them effectively.
So the most urgent thing for him right now is to search for a fourth-level elixir that can improve his cultivation.
Although there are three concubines, Yan Quer, Jiang Qiushui, and Ji Ruyan usually stay in their own Lingshan Mountains to practice, and will not always be at Tongtian Peak.
After all, even the closest Taoist couples still have privacy between each other, let alone concubines.
Having such a secret as the "Immortal Mansion" must not be exposed before turning into a god.
No matter from the perspective of confidentiality or cultivation, it is impossible for Liu Yu to be tired of being with the three women every day.
He is not a womanizer!
Therefore, in the spare time after practicing, only when a certain girl's sign is turned over, one of the three girls will rush to the Tongtian Peak Cave House.
Under Wen Caiyi's service, Liu Yu took a shower and changed into a brand new black robe.
"Whoosh~"
Soon, he turned into a ray of blue light and left the mountain gate quietly without any of the monks noticing.
The average escape speed in the Nascent Soul stage starts at six thousand miles per hour. To describe it as "speeding like lightning" is not an exaggeration at all.
Due to the higher intensity of his magic power, Liu Yu's escape speed is slightly faster than that of ordinary Nascent Soul early stage True Lords, reaching 6,900 miles per hour.
This is without using the ancient treasure "Purple Lightning Cloak".
If you use this treasure, you can easily match the mid-stage Nascent Soul, and it will not be a problem to reach 7,500 miles.
As the cultivation level is further improved, the escape speed will continue to increase.
"Whoosh~"
With his escape speed at full speed, Liu Yu left the Yuan Kingdom in less than two hours, and arrived at the agreed upon location three hours later.
Thousands of feet high in the sky, he stood with his hands behind his hands and waited patiently.
"Boom"
Within a quarter of an hour or so, there was movement in the sky, and accompanied by bursts of powerful Nascent Soul spiritual pressure and fierce sword intent, a ray of light approached in the blink of an eye.
"Whoosh~"
The light dispersed, revealing a female cultivator with silver hair and a huge silver sword on her back.
Who is he if he is not True Lord Zihong?
"I've met fellow Taoist Zihong."
Liu Yu cupped her hands and smiled.
True Lord Zihong nodded lightly, still as cold as ever.
Liu Yu didn't care about this, and after saying hello, the two of them rushed towards the Danding Sect.
Although the attitude is not enthusiastic, the other party's behavior is indeed friendly.
Among the True Lord Yuanying, there are many people with eccentric personalities. Zihong's situation is relatively normal.
Some techniques can indeed distort a monk's mind!
"Whoosh~"
Accompanied by bursts of Nascent Soul spiritual pressure, a strong sound of breaking through the air suddenly sounded, and two rays of light, one green and one silver, disappeared into the sky in the blink of an eye.
…
Since the Yan State and the Nan Yu State rebelled and were destroyed, the original "Nine Nations Alliance" was officially renamed the "Seven Nations Alliance".
This name naturally has a profound meaning, which means that the alliance is mainly composed of seven large countries, which hold most of the say, while the other small countries are just foils.
The seven kingdoms are: Qi, Wei, Chu, Nanli, Yueshuang, Ba, and Sang
Among them, Wei was the most powerful and had the widest territory.
Just because the Seven Kingdoms Alliance's only god-forming force, the "Tianlei Palace", is located in the Wei State, this also creates the Wei State's transcendent status.
Precisely because of the intimidation of the God King of the "Tianlei Temple", although the overall strength of the Seven Nations Alliance is much inferior to that of the Good and Demonic Alliance, it can still barely maintain its existence.
As for Chu State, its ranking is very low.
Although it is indeed powerful compared to a small country, its voice in the alliance is still very limited and it is unable to decide some major events.
The "Ba Country" where the Danding Sect is located is also ranked at the bottom.
There are three major Nascent Soul forces in the Ba Kingdom, namely the Danding Sect, the Xuanbing Palace, and the Lingyun Sect.
Among them, the "Xuanbing Palace" is the most powerful, because there is a great monk in the late Nascent Soul stage, and the other two factions can only compete with each other by joining forces.
The original Yan Kingdom and the Ba Kingdom were about 200,000 miles apart, with dozens of kingdoms, large and small, in between.
This distance is not too far for Yuanying monks.
With the speed of Liu Yu and Zihong's escape, and several more teleportation arrays on the way, in less than two hours, the mountain gate of Danding Sect was already in sight.
The two of them looked around, and a stretch of mountains came into view.
Compared with the mountain gates of the five sects of the Chu Kingdom at this time, the weather of the Danding Sect's mountain gate is undoubtedly much better, covering an area of at least a thousand miles.
After all, the five sects of Chu State only divided about half of the original territory of Yan State. After having to give up the territory of Chu State, the scope of the sect's rule could not stop shrinking by more than half.
The light dissipated, and the two of them did not deliberately restrain their auras, and were quickly discovered by the Alchemy Sect monks.
"I dare to ask, but True Lord Zihong and True Lord Qingyang are face to face?"
Soon, a Jindan from the Alchemy Cauldron Sect came up to him. After saluting, he asked tentatively.
Zihong said nothing, Liu Yu nodded slightly, but had no intention of communicating too much with a golden elixir monk.
"You two seniors, if you have anything to do, just ask me. Uncle Mo Mei specially ordered this junior to wait here,"
"Two seniors, please!"
After saying this, the Jindan monk led the way, and the two of them successfully entered the mountain gate of the Danding Sect.
On his robe, there is a Danding symbol embroidered impressively.
The strength of the Danding Sect is approximately equal to that of "Piaoxue Pavilion" among the five sects of Chu State, so it is naturally superior to them in all aspects.
According to intelligence records, there are three fourth-level spiritual veins in this sect, and each of the three Nascent Soul monks occupies one.
In addition to natural formation, high-level spiritual veins can also be cultivated, but it will inevitably cost a huge amount of money.
Regarding the situation of Danding Sect, Liu Yu felt relieved after thinking about it for a moment.
After all, there is no room for two tigers in one mountain. If they all stay on a spiritual mountain and one Nascent Soul cultivator makes the slightest movement, the other two will notice it immediately.
Under such circumstances, it is naturally difficult to practice with peace of mind.
Therefore, it is indeed very necessary to spend a lot of money to cultivate spiritual veins, and the foundation of the Alchemy Cauldron Sect can be afforded.
PS: I was originally full of fighting spirit and wanted to update it, but when I wrote the part about taking concubines, I felt a little uncomfortable for some reason, and suddenly I felt bad.
Maybe I shouldn’t write it in detail, it’s best to summarize it in one sentence. I still have a thousand words to update tomorrow.
