Chapter 56: The Centennial Family
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
These days, everyone in Tai Qing Sect was very busy. In addition to the Sect Returning Ceremony, they also had to attend Alchemy King Gu Xi’s lectures.
The alchemy king and the others were very attentive to teaching. The one who was the most leisure in the entire sect would probably be Ye Xuan. However, the sudden sound of the system notification instantly made him feel a sense of urgency.
[Ding!]
[Random mission: Consume 1000 supreme-grade Marrow Cleansing Pills]
[Mission success reward: 3000 prodigal points]
[Mission failure will result in a random prodigal points deduction. Effective period: 2 days]
Ye Xuan was stunned. He didn’t need any Marrow Cleansing Pill with his current talent. How could he use up so many pills?
“Stupid system. You’ve already washed my spiritual root away, so what’s the use of giving me so many Marrow Cleansing Pills?”
Ye Xuan wanted to use it on himself, but he can’t. The pills were useless for him.
Why don’t I give one to everyone in the sect? Even so, he probably wouldn’t be able to finish distributing them, or he would have to find someone on the streets to give them to.
Just as Ye Xuan was thinking about how to complete this task, Alchemy King Gu Xi suddenly paid him a visit.
“Elder Ye, I’ve received an invitation from the Lin family. Why don’t you go with me? It’ll be more lively with more people on the way.”
Alchemy King Gu Xi wanted to get closer to Ye Xuan, so he invited him to attend the Lin family’s engagement banquet.
The Lin family was a well-known ancient family, and there was even a Moon Realm expert in their ancestors, but the later generations were getting worse. Even so, the Lin family’s patriarch couldn’t be underestimated. It was said that he was already at Heaven Realm level 6.
This time, their marriage partner was also the Su family, which was of similar strength. It could be said to be a strong alliance.
Ye Xuan thought that he had nothing to do, so he agreed to go with them. Since he came to this world, he had not come into contact with such an ancient family, so he was very curious.
Alchemy King Gu Xi had grand arrangements wherever he went. The spiritual beasts, Thunder, were ready to go. Each of them was well-raised, and Ye Xuan contributed a lot.
Even ordinary horses could eat spiritual plants, so Thunder beasts could also have some. Alchemy King Gu Xi thought it was a waste, but Ye Xuan was rich and generous, so he compromised in the end.
With a neigh, Thunder beasts leaped into the air. It was as if it was walking on the flat ground sitting in the carriage. They were indeed extremely precious spiritual beasts.
It didn’t take long for the two of them to reach their destination.
The vermilion gate was very imposing, and the stone lion at the gate was even more vivid as if it was about to come to life.
Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be sculpted from a whole piece of high-quality spiritual jade. No wonder it was so full of spiritual energy. The people around them sighed, “As expected of a centennial family. They’re indeed generous.”
Even the furnishings in the room were decorated with night-luminescent pearls, which made the word “happiness” even more dazzling. The centennial family’s heritage and extraordinary nobility could be seen everywhere.
Alchemy King Gu Xi’s expression turned strange.
He thought of the night-luminescent pearls that covered the steps of Tai Qing Sect and the Crystal Ice Chalcedony that could be seen everywhere. If he had not seen it before, he would definitely be amazed by the Lin family’s generosity.
But now, it seemed a little petty in comparison. As expected, there was no hurt without comparison. He shook his head in his heart.
“Welcome, Alchemy King Gu Xi. Sorry for not waiting for you at the door.”
The Lin family patriarch received the news and came out to welcome him warmly. His eyes stopped on Ye Xuan for a moment and he asked with doubt, “May I know who this is?”
Could he be Alchemy King Gu Xi’s disciple at such a young age? However, it didn’t seem to be the case since they walked side by side and the alchemy king treated him with courtesy.
“This is Elder Ye from the Tai Qing Sect. I’ve recently been invited by the sect to give a lecture. Elder Ye has been taking care of me.”
The smile on the Lin family patriarch’s face suddenly faded a lot. He had never heard of Tai Qing Sect, so it must not be a big sect.
However, Alchemy King Gu Xi seemed to take him very seriously. The patriarch didn’t think too much about it, “Since you’re brought by the alchemy king, you’re also an important guest of my Lin family. Please take a seat.”
The Lin family patriarch was extremely polite as he made an inviting gesture.
“Even Alchemy King Gu Xi is invited. The Lin family is really a big shot.”
“I heard that the Lin family patriarch and the alchemy king are old friends.”
“Since both sides have such a good relationship, why doesn’t the alchemy king treat the young master?”
“Shh! Don’t talk nonsense on a joyous day.”
Alchemy King Gu Xi’s arrival caused the atmosphere to reach a small climax, becoming even more lively. Very soon, Alchemy King Gu Xi was surrounded by many people who wanted to build relationships with him.
On the contrary, Ye Xuan was completely ignored.
Tai Qing Sect had just been established not long ago, so there was naturally a lot of news that those in the outside world didn’t know. In the eyes of the public, he was just an elder of a small sect who somehow managed to know Alchemy King Gu Xi.
Naturally, no one took Ye Xuan seriously, and he didn’t care either. Seeing that Alchemy King Gu Xi wasn’t free, he left his seat and planned to walk around.
“This stone lion is a little too small, and the night-luminescent pearl isn’t big or bright enough. I heard people outside bragging about how powerful this centennial family is but now I find there’s nothing special.”
Ye Xuan criticized without any ill intentions, but he felt a little lacking. He was used to squandering, and his horizons had been broadened, so he naturally felt that these things were very rare and ordinary.
In the outside world, the Lin family’s items were already unimaginable wealth. After all, they were an ancient family, and there were more valuable things in their treasury that they would not easily show to others.
Moreover, not everyone was as rich as Ye Xuan, who had the prodigal system as his backing and had all the good things on display.
However, when others who did not know the truth heard this, they would regard this as a provocation.
“Who are you? How dare you slander my Lin family!”
