"Three months later, we’ll get married together!"
Ye Wanyi said.
"Shouldn’t we get to know each other a little? This is too fast!" Lu Xuanji frowned.
"Is it fast? Not at all, once we’re married, spending every day together will naturally lead to deeper understanding!" Ye Wanyi said.
"Alright then!"
Lu Xuanji could only nod, "When we reach the Purple Mansion stage, we’ll officially become Dao Companions!"
But Ye Wanyi shook her head and said, "No need for that, the Purple Mansion is too far away! It’s best to get married in three months, and hopefully, within three years, I’ll bear you a child. As for the Purple Mansion, let’s forget about it. Do you think I have the qualifications for the Purple Mansion?"
Lu Xuanji said, "Your talent is not bad; there’s a chance you could reach the Purple Mansion!"
"Not bad talent is just relative to those with Three Spirit Roots; among Dual Spirit Root cultivators, my talent is at the bottom. Dual Spirit Root cultivators only have the potential to reach the Purple Mansion. In fact, out of ten Dual Spirit Root cultivators, it’s quite good if one can become a Purple Mansion Cultivator!"
Ye Wanyi said, "My parents are just ordinary people and can’t provide me with many resources; I’m at the bottom in terms of talent among Dual Spirit Roots. I remember thirty years ago when we met through a matchmaker when I was already 140 years old and only at the peak of the Fifth Layer of Foundation Establishment."
"Later on, after agreeing to let Ye Linglong become your concubine, I gained more resources, spent thirty years, and reached the Ninth-Layer Foundation Establishment. But all the elixirs needed for Foundation Establishment were simply unavailable."
"My probability of reaching the Purple Mansion is very low, less than one percent."
"I no longer have extravagant hopes for the Purple Mansion; I just want a child, to be a mother."
Many female cultivators born in Cultivation Immortality Clans are independent and strong, showing little interest in love or offspring; but Ye Wanyi was born ordinary and has a deep belief in having descendants, wanting to become a mother.
In recent years, she has met many cultivators.
But those with poor talent and low cultivation dared not look up to her; as for those with outstanding talent and long-established cultivation, they kept their distance from a woman without background.
Until Ye Linglong spoke, wanting her to become Lu Xuanji’s concubine, she only thought about it for a moment before agreeing.
One reason was to obtain cultivation resources, and another was to fulfill her wish of becoming a mother.
"But once chastity is gone, your probability of reaching the Purple Mansion has dropped a bit!" Lu Xuanji said.
"Is it really higher if I keep my pure Yin body?" Ye Wanyi said calmly, "A genius like you is ultimately rare! Geniuses live their own way, ordinary people have their own lives, geniuses dream of stars and seas, while we ordinary people think of daily life necessities."
"You see clearly, unlike me who’s somewhat unclear!"
Lu Xuanji nodded.
The two reached an agreement and vowed to become Dao Companions.
To live and die together, to help one another through life, forsaking neither.
...
After parting ways, Lu Xuanji reported to the Grand Elder, who laughed heartily.
Xuanji was finally getting married.
Clan cultivation is not like sect cultivation, it’s not the same as loose cultivator cultivation.
Loose cultivators cultivate alone, with no family to worry about, often gathering with some female cultivators but not having children, as more sons bring more trouble, more cause and effect;
Sect cultivation mainly relies on forming alliances, bound by master-disciple relationships and becoming a unified whole.
But clan cultivation relies on blood ties to stay connected.
In the past, the Lu family ancestor Lu Changsheng was only a Foundation Establishment cultivator, marrying three female cultivators and having a lot of children, thus forming today’s Lu Family Cultivation Clan.
But now, it’s different; many clan members are focused on cultivation, indifferent to romantic affairs, and even more indifferent to having children, resulting in insufficient population, and succession issues arise within the clan.
If things continue like this, perhaps in a few hundred years, the Lu Family might face extinction due to a lack of population.
Especially, Lu Xuanji, the clan leader, was always single, which was a great worry for him.
Sometimes he regretted not teaching Lu Xuanji properly, leading him to become too obsessed with cultivation, ignoring romantic affairs, and being insensitive to matters of love.
If he’d taught him more, Lu Xuanji could have had over a dozen concubines and dozens of children, and the Lu Family would have already been prosperous.
The Grand Elder was excited and began bustling about arrangements.
Quickly everything was arranged, invitations were sent to nearby close Cultivation Immortality Clans, and celebrations were meticulously planned.
The three months went by quickly.
The wedding was being prepared and was bustling.
...
On Purple Sun Mountain, Jin Xi was looking through the invitation, a trace of disappointment and anger flashing in her eyes.
She felt as if she’d been cheated on.
"Are you jealous?"
Qinglian appeared, her face still veiled, wearing a black robe, hiding herself in darkness.
"Yes, I had a latent affection for Lu Xuanji and already considered him a potential Dao Companion, but now Ye Wanyi just jumped in directly, what does this mean?" Jin Xi said, standing up, anger burning within her, fury igniting, causing the surrounding leaves to rustle.
In the past, when she first met Lu Xuanji, divination with "Mei Flower Change Techniques" showed an "Auspicious" sign.
So, she supported Lu Xuanji here and there.
However, later he triumphed over three trials, displaying his charisma as a prodigy; in the beast tides, he fought fiercely against the demon race prodigies, intimidating the world.
At that time, she felt a faint attraction.
But later, when it was confirmed that he was a Divinity Transformation Reincarnation, the attraction grew.
When Lu Xuanji broke into the Feathered Transformation Pagoda and gifted her the Seventh-Grade Spiritual Treasure "Calm Lotus Platform," her feelings surged to the point of wanting to give herself to him.
She even silently mused, that when Lu Xuanji achieved his Golden Core, she’d directly become his Dao Companion.
But now, Ye Wanyi swooped in and intercepted her plans.
"In terms of beauty, I surpass Ye Wanyi by a lot; in wealth, I have much more than Ye Wanyi; in cultivation, I also exceed Ye Wanyi by a lot; in talent, I far surpass Ye Wanyi. Yet I still lost to him!" Jin Xi said, anger flashing in her eyes, there was a hint of fire.
"Why not go and crash the wedding now?"
Qinglian laughed, teasingly, "If you go and crash the wedding, no one will be able to stop you!"
"But I can’t!"
Jin Xi said, "I still haven’t forgotten the clan’s grudge; besides, now we’re together, it’s not appropriate!"
Thinking about how, not long from now, that woman would be lying in Lu Xuanji’s arms made her feel melancholic, her heart aching.
Qinglian couldn’t quite grasp it and teased, "Time is on your side. Let Ye Wanyi take the lead, so what? Her talent is limited, reaching the Purple Mansion is still possible, but her hope of achieving Golden Core is slim. In a few hundred years, when Ye Wanyi passes away, Lu Xuanji will be yours again. Only you can accompany him to become Golden Core, Nascent Soul, and even Divinity Transformation."
"She can’t outlast you!"
No palace intrigue, no beauty schemes needed, just waiting out the time, and many rivals in love would be outpaced.
Jin Xi remained silent, not saying a word.
She was not magnanimous, rather she was petty.
Because of her pettiness, her heart ached.
At that moment, Ye Xuan walked in and said, "Master, Lu Family’s Xuanji is about to marry, should we send someone to congratulate?"
"I’m not going!"
Jin Xi said angrily, "I won’t go, and neither will you!"
"Master, isn’t that inappropriate?"
Ye Xuan said.
"Not going means not going!"
Jin Xi said.
Ye Xuan reluctantly withdrew.
Lately, the master had been somewhat irrational, it was best not to provoke her, and leaving might be the best option.
Ye Xuan could only withdraw, prepare some gifts, and let Liu Hongyi go to congratulate.
