Gou Zaixiu Immortal World Gets A Wife

Chapter 100: Cao Feng's Wedding Banquet (Seeking Subscriptions)

Li Guanxuan walked out of the cultivation room, the sun setting and casting a golden glow on his tall figure. His skin naturally radiated a golden sheen.

At the same time, the golden glow also fell on his handsome face, highlighting his distinct facial features. His clear and gentle peach blossom eyes still remained clear, but faintly revealed a sharpness.

It made people feel close to him, yet also filled them with a sense of awe.

Wen Rongxin and Song Zhiqiao were both stunned.

After spending so many years together, it was the first time they had seen the temperament of a sword cultivator from their husband.

After all, Li Guanxuan had always been gentle and seemed like the type of person who was easily bullied.

"Did Qin Jiyue leave?"

Li Guanxuan looked around and didn't see Qin Jiyue, so he asked.

However, Song Zhiqiao was deeply attracted by the temperament emanating from Li Guanxuan's body. She stepped forward and held her brother's arm, saying in a sweet voice, "Congratulations to my brother for breaking through to the mid-stage of Foundation Building. Sister doesn't know how powerful a mid-stage Foundation Building sword cultivator is, so I want to experience it."

Upon hearing this, Wen Rongxin was stunned.

She quickly reacted and blushed, immediately running to the side, saying, "I, I still need to cultivate..."

Li Guanxuan reached out across the space and grabbed her back, laughing heartily, "Wife, cultivating together is also cultivation. You must not escape at the critical moment!"

"That's right, sister, look at how hot your body is, you must be feeling uncomfortable. It just so happens that our brother, who is an alchemist, can help you with that. After all, it's good to be dependent on each other... Ah!"

Just as Song Zhiqiao finished speaking, her buttocks were forcefully slapped, causing her to involuntarily cry out in surprise.

Li Guanxuan said impatiently, "You want me to discipline you again?"

Song Zhiqiao's cheeks blushed, dripping with charm, "Please don't show mercy, brother."

"..."

...

Half an hour later.

Qin Jiyue returned.

Wen Rongxin and Song Zhiqiao, who were in the first stage, couldn't hold on any longer. They finally breathed a sigh of relief when their sister (or sister-in-law) in the mid-stage of Foundation Building returned.

The furious sword cultivator also found a place to vent.

The White-Haired Witch knew what was going to happen next and didn't avoid it. Instead, she glanced at the sword cultivator, took off her armor on her own accord, and said, "This family... can't do without me."

The White-Haired Witch was enduring the fierce attacks from the sword cultivator, panting heavily, but still had a smile on her face.

The sword cultivator used the Pushing Clear Sword Technique, sweating profusely but feeling refreshed.

"Naturally."

Li Guanxuan demonstrated precise swordsmanship while asking, "Have you found out about the situation in the Red Flame Mountain Range?"

"For now... I haven't found out yet."

The White-Haired Witch said intermittently, "They are hiding quite well... I'm still trying my best... to find them."

Upon hearing this, Li Guanxuan knew that it was impossible to rely on Qin Jiyue to gather information. He had to find a professional.

Two hours later.

The White-Haired Witch finally lost the battle. Li Guanxuan left the room feeling refreshed. He walked out of the house and headed straight to the Myriad Manifestations Pavilion in the Third District, looking for Zheng Huangjin to have a chat.

When Zheng Huangjin heard that Li Guanxuan wanted to gather information about Chen Yinshan and Fang Xingzhi, he didn't refuse and readily agreed.

Then, Zheng Huangjin smiled and said, "By the way, when you were in seclusion breaking through to the mid-stage of Foundation Building, there was something I didn't have a chance to tell you."

"What's the matter?" Li Guanxuan asked in confusion.

"Cao Chengzhu is marrying his twenty-sixth concubine and hosting a grand banquet. I wanted to inform you, but I heard that you were in seclusion, so I didn't plan on calling you," Zheng Huangjin explained.

"Now is a good time. Let's go together in five days and give him a surprise," Zheng Huangjin suggested.

"Okay, no problem," Li Guanxuan nodded.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Li Guanxuan went home.

While refining and absorbing the Fairy Qi in his body in the cultivation room, Li Guanxuan suddenly remembered something.

The relationship between the Sect Master of Mountain of Joyful Bliss and Cao Feng was good. For such a joyous occasion of marrying a twenty-sixth concubine and hosting a grand banquet, Cao Feng should also invite the Sect Master of Mountain of Joyful Bliss, right?

Thinking of this Foundation Building peak cultivator who had a close relationship with him, Li Guanxuan felt a sense of emotion.

Back when he was only at the second level of Qi Refining, the Sect Master of Mountain of Joyful Bliss was already a well-known Foundation Building late-stage cultivator in the surrounding area of Azure Serenity City.

By the time he reached the mid-stage of Qi Refining, the Sect Master of Mountain of Joyful Bliss had become a Foundation Building peak cultivator.

Now that he was already in the mid-stage of Foundation Building, the Sect Master of Mountain of Joyful Bliss was still a Foundation Building peak cultivator...

"In the blink of an eye, forty to fifty years have passed," Li Guanxuan sighed softly.

If he hadn't visited Mountain of Joyful Bliss back then, he probably wouldn't be where he is today.

Although he didn't know why the Velvet Flower Spirit Tree chose him, no matter what, he had to take this opportunity to improve his cultivation, become an immortal, and live well in this world.

...

Five days passed quickly.

Li Guanxuan took his whole family to the Lord's Mansion. Along the way, Song Zhiqiao kept chattering non-stop, while Wen Rongxin patiently listened and occasionally responded gently.

Qin Jiyue stood on Li Guanxuan's other side, holding his arm, with a slight worry in her heart.

These past few days, she heard the news that the Sect Master of Mountain of Joyful Bliss would also attend the wedding banquet.

Li Guanxuan noticed her thoughts and smiled, patting the back of her hand, saying, "No need to worry. We now have the qualifications to have a direct conversation with him."

Although his cultivation was only in the mid-stage of Foundation Building, his alchemy, talisman, swordsmanship, and formation skills were all at the second-grade level or higher. Even his formation skills had reached the lower second-grade level.

With so many skills, even Cao Feng would treat him with respect.

In the cultivation world that believed in the theory of the strong being respected, personal strength and abilities were the most important.

"Okay," Qin Jiyue nodded, snorting lightly. "My brother is also a peak Foundation Building cultivator. With his talent, he can successfully form his Nascent Soul in at most ten years. If the Sect Master of Mountain of Joyful Bliss dares to provoke us, I'll have my brother wipe him out!"

Li Guanxuan smiled. After mingling in the cultivation world for many years, he understood very well that it was better to rely on oneself rather than relying on others.

Strength was something that had to be firmly grasped by oneself in order to truly do as one pleased.

There were many people heading to the Lord's Mansion, most of them Foundation Building cultivators. It was difficult for Qi Refining cultivators to get involved.

Soon, Li Guanxuan ran into Zheng Huangjin and Li Kuangzheng.

"Congratulations, Li Sili has finally broken through to the Foundation Building stage," Li Guanxuan smiled.

"..." Li Kuangzheng couldn't be bothered to speak.

One could even say that he had no power to refute.

He had thought that by breaking through to the Foundation Building stage, he would be able to catch up to Li Guanxuan's footsteps, but he didn't expect that Li Guanxuan was already in the mid-stage of Foundation Building!

Not only that, he also sensed a change in Li Guanxuan's temperament, faintly feeling...

If Li Guanxuan wanted to kill him, even if he used all his trump cards, Li Guanxuan would only need one sword.

In other words, Li Guanxuan's improvement was not just in his cultivation, but his overall combat power had also soared.

"The Li family truly lives up to its reputation as an ancient family of sword cultivators that has been passed down for thousands of years. Just a single Foundation Building technique can bring about such a tremendous change," Zheng Huangjin couldn't help but exclaim.

He had also reached the mid-stage of Foundation Building with the help of medicinal pills, but in terms of combat power, he was far inferior to Li Guanxuan.

Perhaps only the eldest brother, Liu Xiaoxian, could surpass him.

"I have heard of cultivation families like this, who, once they activate the power of their bloodline, can exponentially increase their combat power in a short period of time. Li Fushi's current combat power can easily rival that of the late Foundation Building stage, and even compete with the peak of Foundation Building," Li Kuangzheng said.

Zheng Huangjin sighed again.

When he first met Li Guanxuan, the latter was at the third level of Qi Refining, while he was at the peak of Qi Refining.

Now, Li Guanxuan could almost sit on an equal footing with the peak of Foundation Building, while he had only just reached the mid-stage of Foundation Building with the help of medicinal pills.

Of course, he owed his current status to Li Guanxuan.

If it weren't for the fact that Li Guanxuan had been selling him medicinal pills and talismans for so many years, he would never have received the reward from the headquarters and broken through to the Foundation Building stage.

Even the medicinal pills that helped him break through to the mid-stage of Foundation Building were refined by Li Guanxuan.

"Alright, enough with the analysis. If you keep going like this, you'll see through my underwear," Li Guanxuan said helplessly.

Zheng Huangjin burst into laughter.

Li Kuangzheng remained silent.

"Li Fushi, Manager Zheng, Manager Li..."

When they arrived at the Lord's Mansion, the steward, Chen Bo, saw Li Guanxuan and his eyes lit up. He quickly stepped forward and bowed.

Then, he looked at Qin Jiyue, who had white hair, and bowed, "Madam Qin."

Qin Jiyue nodded slightly and introduced, "This is my elder sister and younger sister."

"Nice to meet both of you, Madams."

Chen Bo bowed and made a gesture of invitation, saying, "Please come in."

Wen Rongxin and Song Zhiqiao returned the gesture.

Zheng Huangjin and Li Kuangzheng also presented their gifts.

Li Guanxuan, of course, was prepared as well and handed over a small porcelain bottle decorated with red patterns.

"This..."

Chen Bo scanned it with his divine sense and found that there was a high-quality Life Gate Pill inside. His expression immediately changed.

This gift seemed quite valuable!

"It's just some extra pills, plus the many years of care from Lord Cao. It's just a small token of appreciation," Li Guanxuan said, holding Chen Bo back and not letting him return the gift. He smiled and said, "Rest assured, the people of our Myriad Manifestations Pavilion are always meticulous in our calculations. We will definitely make up for it at the wedding banquet."

"Please."

Chen Bo forced a smile, extended his hand to invite everyone in.

He couldn't make the decision on this matter himself; he had to report it to Lord Cao.

Soon, when Cao Feng learned that Li Guanxuan had given a high-quality Life Gate Pill, his face couldn't help but show some surprise.

A high-quality Life Gate Pill was a pill that could help someone in the early stage of Foundation Building advance to the mid-stage of Foundation Building.

Having one high-quality Life Gate Pill meant that his Lord's Mansion would have one more person in the mid-stage of Foundation Building, which was a great gift!

When Li Guanxuan and Zheng Huangjin asked him for help in the past, they had given him two Life Gate Pills and two Poison Cleansing Pills.

"This friend, our friendship has not been in vain..." Cao Feng felt a sense of emotion when he sensed the mid-stage Foundation Building aura emanating from Li Guanxuan.

To refine a high-quality Golden Yuan Pill within fifty years was not an empty promise.

"Brother-in-law, this gift is too valuable. Take it back, it's just a token of appreciation," Cao Feng walked over and whispered in a low voice.

"Brother Cao, do you look down on me, Li? When you give a gift, there's no reason to take it back," Li Guanxuan said.

Li Guanxuan jokingly said.

"But, this..."

Cao Feng wanted to say something, but Qin Jiyue, who was beside him, laughed and said, "This is the magistrate's sincere intention. I hope Brother Cao won't refuse."

She had been living in Silver Maple City for so many years, and since she had a relationship with Qin Wuji, she had occasionally bumped into Cao Feng when she went out.

"Alright..."

Cao Feng accepted calmly.

"Brother Li?"

At this moment, a muscular man, standing at 2.5 meters tall and resembling a small mountain, appeared in front of Li Guanxuan.

Li Guanxuan was taken aback, "Brother Cao? What are you doing here?"

This person was Cao Mang, his neighbor in the inner city back then.

"Uh, I came to attend my clan brother's wedding..."

Cao Mang scratched his head, then looked at Cao Feng and said, "But it seems like you two already know each other."

However, Cao Feng frowned and scolded, "Why are you calling him Brother Li? Are you allowed to call him that? You're being disrespectful, call him Senior Li!"

"I, I'm just used to calling him that..."

"Even if you're used to it, it's not allowed! You're at the peak of Qi Refining, and he's only at the mid-stage of Foundation Building. How can you be so casual?"

"..."

Seeing Cao Feng lecturing Cao Mang, Li Guanxuan finally came back to his senses.

He never expected that Cao Mang and Cao Feng had this kind of relationship.

"It's alright..."

Before Li Guanxuan could finish speaking, Cao Feng said, "Brother-in-law, he needs to understand the rules himself. Otherwise, how would he know anything when he's out there facing powerful cultivators?!"

Then, Cao Feng jumped up and slapped Cao Mang's head, shouting, "Call him Senior Li!"

Cao Mang shrank his head, thinking to himself that it was fortunate that his clan brother didn't use much force, otherwise his head would have exploded.

"Senior, Senior Li..."

Li Guanxuan said helplessly, "Brother Cao, it's not necessary, really."

"As demonic cultivators who have come to the Immortal Ruins seeking survival, we must abide by the rules of the cultivation world here. When facing powerful cultivators, we must use respectful titles and not overstep the rules."

Cao Feng said, "Brother-in-law, don't spoil him. In the future, you can call him Xiao Mang or Xiao Cao. When he reaches the mid-stage of Foundation Building, it won't be too late to change."

Then, Li Guanxuan silently thought to himself, "When I reach Gold Core, should I also call you Xiao Cao?" Seeing Cao Mang shrinking his head in fear, he had no choice but to say, "Alright, Xiao Mang, have a seat."

Li Guanxuan gestured with his hand.

Cao Mang turned to look at his clan brother, and when he saw Cao Feng nodding, he sat down.

"Cao City Lord, who is this Fellow Daoist? Introduce him."

At this moment, a middle-aged man in a black and yellow Daoist robe walked over, smiling as he looked at Cao Feng.

Li Guanxuan turned his head and saw that it was the Sect Master of Mountain of Joyful Bliss, so he fell silent.

Cao Feng laughed heartily and said warmly, "So it's Fellow Daoist Sang... It's quite a coincidence. My brother-in-law once stayed in Azure Serenity City for a while, so he should know you, but you don't know him."

"Oh?"

Upon hearing this, the Sect Master of Mountain of Joyful Bliss became interested and looked at Li Guanxuan with burning eyes.
