Chapter 33: Completing the Wedding
One year later.
Fang Yun's Foundation Building Ceremony was successfully held at Ziqing Lake.
The other three major families of Liuyunfang all arrived, with Foundation Establishment experts present in person, and undercurrents were swirling among them.
Lin Dong also came, bringing a congratulatory gift from Qin Yao.
He admitted that he was about to begin his foundation-building process and hoped that several of his old friends could lend him spirit stones.
Without hesitation, Fang Yun took out three thousand spirit stones and lent them to him.
There was also a small token of appreciation from Lu Guishou and Niu Ben.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Fang Yun still maintained his aged appearance.
He didn't care about anyone's opinion, and married her in a grand wedding procession.
He married Zhiyu and Zhiqing again.
Fang Yun made up for the weddings he owed them back then, tenfold or even a hundredfold, all today.
The sound of gongs and drums filled the air at Ziqing Lake. Red ribbons with the character for "double happiness" stretched from the foot of the mountain all the way to the summit, adorned with lanterns and decorations, creating a lively and festive atmosphere.
A Foundation Establishment Ancestor marries a mortal!
In the main hall, Fang Yun, dressed in a bright red groom's robe, led his two brides, who were draped in phoenix coronet and embroidered robes, to the wedding ceremony.
Grandfather Fang and his uncle Fang Pangen sat on either side of him, their faces beaming with satisfaction and smiles.
In the entire Fang family, only the two of them were qualified to preside over this grand wedding.
First bow to Heaven and Earth, second bow to the parents.
The couple bowed to each other and were led into the bridal chamber.
Fang Yun left with his two wives, intending to spend the night with them.
Those Foundation Establishment cultivators will be dealt with by Ancestor Fang.
Unfortunately, the three parties had already reached a tacit agreement and refused to redistribute the profits from the market.
The Fang family patriarch was furious.
As expected, the wedding held at the ceremony became famous.
The topic of a Foundation Establishment Ancestor marrying a mortal woman is so sensational that all sorts of rumors and gossip are circulating.
Fang Yun, however, paid no attention to it and spent his days sitting cross-legged atop Purple Bamboo Mountain, refining pills and cultivating his spiritual practice.
……
In the blink of an eye, another three years have passed.
With his powerful Foundation Establishment Divine Sense, Fang Yun thoroughly comprehended all of the Fang family's alchemy heritage.
Even the highest-grade Jade Bamboo Pill of the first rank, he refined two batches successfully.
Unfortunately, they then encountered a bottleneck.
Fang Yun was not some alchemy genius.
Creating a second-tier pill formula from scratch is extremely difficult.
He had inquired with Old Master Fang, but the latter didn't have any good solutions either.
The basic inheritance of various arts is fine, but once you reach the second stage, it will be strictly controlled by the Qingmu Sect.
Even when it occasionally leaks out, the competition is extremely fierce.
The major Foundation Establishment families were so angry they wanted to beat the dog's brains out.
The Fang family's current second-tier talisman inheritance was salvaged from a certain ruin at the cost of hundreds of lives.
The highest grade is only a mid-grade second-tier spirit talisman.
After a lifetime of study, Master Fang finally mastered the technique and was able to draw a few pictures.
Now stuck at the level of a mid-grade second-tier talisman master, unable to make any further progress.
Fang Yun's alchemy was thwarted, and he also encountered problems in his cultivation.
He tried to continue practicing the foundational stage of the Wooden Armor Technique, but failed.
The demonic energy in his dantian was mixed and actually somewhat repelled by human cultivation techniques, causing stinging pain in his meridians and making his cultivation stumbling and difficult.
Fortunately, he has refined about a third of the Demon Spirit Pill over the years.
The liquid mana increased to thirty-two drops, all of which the tree demon had accumulated over hundreds of years, and he used it all as a wedding dress.
Just as Fang Yun was secretly plotting how to seize the Wang family's alchemy inheritance...
However, a message came from the Qingmu Sect.
Qin Yao is pregnant.
This news was somewhat unexpected, yet also quite reasonable.
Upon learning this, Lu Guishou was stunned for a moment, but then recovered as usual.
He has now successfully broken through to the ninth level of Qi Refining, and he also has the potential to establish his foundation.
Of course, this is only the foundation building stage for demon spirits.
Forget about getting a legitimate Foundation Establishment Pill; he could never afford it in his lifetime.
Ten months later.
Qin Yao gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl, without any complications.
Fang Yun originally thought...
The child of a Golden Elixir Immortal will stay in the mother's womb for several more years, just like Nezha.
Unexpectedly, their offspring were no different from those of ordinary people.
Old Master Fang is quite old.
Fang Yun, carrying generous gifts, went to the Qingmu Sect to offer congratulations and visit them on behalf of the Fang family of Ziqing Lake.
Two other people accompanied him: Lu Guishou and his eldest son, Fang Shiyu.
The former is about resolving inner conflicts.
The latter is the foundation seed for the family's current development.
I'm going to take him to see Elder Ling Tong and ask him to take a look at him.
Aoki Sect.
Fang Yun and Lu Guishou went to visit Qin Yao first.
She was still as beautiful as ever, but now she radiated maternal glow, her whole being immersed in joy and happiness.
The two babies are adorable, with delicate features, babbling away, and are being protected by the Chen family of Yuquan.
They could only catch a glimpse of it from afar.
The next day, Fang Yun took his eldest son to pay his respects to Ling Tongzi.
Elder Ling Tong still had some impression of Fang Yun.
Seeing that he had successfully established his foundation, he was surprised but did not take it to heart.
Ling Tongzi's pupil technique was too powerful; he could tell at a glance that he had taken a shortcut, using demonic or evil magic, and he scoffed at it.
Fang Shiyu had laid a solid foundation, and after Elder Lingtong examined him, he offered a price of six hundred spirit stones.
It's 10% less than Fang Yaode back then.
Since it concerned his own son's future, Fang Yun readily agreed to help.
Before leaving, they met their friend Lin Dong again.
Unfortunately, Lin Dong failed to establish his foundation.
His essence and blood were depleted, his face was pale, and he looked like he had suffered a great loss of vitality.
Of the thousands of disciples of the Green Wood Sect, only a few were able to successfully cross the insurmountable barrier.
Fang Yun advised him that he could continue down the path of demon spirit foundation building.
Lin Dong himself refused.
He had lived in the sect his whole life and didn't want to leave.
They couldn't bear to part with a single blade of grass or tree from the Qingmu Sect.
Lin Dong has made a decision: he will marry a junior sister who has liked him for a long time and start a family.
For the rest of his life, he would rely on the sect to strengthen his family and devote himself to studying alchemy.
I hope that one day I can become a second-tier alchemist through Qi cultivation!
Upon hearing this, Fang Yun and Lu Guishou could only offer their sincere blessings.
After leaving the Green Wood Sect, Fang Yun went to the Immortal City Market and found a weapon-refining master.
He spent a considerable amount of spirit stones to reforge the Mother-Child Burning Wood Sword using evergreen wood as the material.
Successfully obtained a second-tier flying sword.
In the six months that followed, after seeing Qin Yao's child...
Lu Guishou finally let go of his worries and successfully completed his Qi cultivation.
I am preparing to attempt to build my foundation using demonic magic.
Fang Yun sought out Fang Laozu, hoping the two could join forces to kill a Foundation Establishment demon beast for Lu Guishou.
Unexpectedly, the other party had the same plan.
In the years since Old Ancestor Fang obtained the Demon Spirit Foundation Building Technique, he has not been idle.
After searching among the clansmen, they finally found a candidate and prepared to let him try to break through.
Fang Yaode.
Fang family's former Foundation Establishment seed, even if he failed to break through, his arm was missing.
It remains the only superior spiritual root.
Old Ancestor Fang couldn't bear to look at this prodigy, the pride of the clan.
Thus, they fall into depravity, trapped in the cycle of perfecting their spiritual energy for a lifetime.
After discussing it with Fang Yaode, the latter strongly agreed and was willing to use the demon spirit magic to try again.
After hearing all this, Fang Yun couldn't help but marvel at the mysterious nature of fate.
During the battle at Funiu Mountain, this demonic secret technique should have fallen into Fang Yaode's hands.
Unfortunately, he didn't like the storage bag of the cultivator who had been robbed and gave it to Fang Yun.
Now, after going around in circles, unexpectedly, the other party has returned to this path.
Fang Yaode is actually over sixty years old, but his blood and energy are still vigorous, so the impact is not significant.
The Jiazi (甲子) lifespan is merely a nominal number.
People's physical constitutions are not the same, and there are even cultivators who successfully establish their foundation at the age of one hundred.
Fang Yun and Fang Laozu spent half a year finally finalizing their plan.
They found suitable Foundation Establishment level monsters for the two of them.
