“Crucible of the Divine Lands...Ying Sea...Starry Sea...”

Gu Cheng and Gu Yuankai looked at each other before nodding their heads slightly.

When Lin Feng made his first visit to the Ancient Longevity World then, he gave them the pill formula of the Supreme Intelligence Divine Pill. However, that pill couldn’t be considered in the same category as the pills that were offered today as part of the betrothal gift.

They couldn’t cultivate the Supreme Intelligence Divine Pill without the Ginseng Fruit. However, the effects of the pill formula in other aspects couldn’t be underestimated. They were even far superior to the pill formula itself.

The Gu Empire was much calmer as compared to the rest, who were shocked. Their pill cultivation skills were evidently greater than the rest. In terms of pill formulas, their interaction with the Celestial Sect of Wonders was also pretty frequent. They had a deeper understanding of the pills that the Celestial Sect of Wonders produced.

During the Antiquity Age, Emperor Gu once ruled the Divine Lands. He was also a skilled pill cultivator. At that point in time, the human emperor also controlled the Starry Sea.

Whether it was Emperor Xia or Emperor Gu, they cultivated huge quantities of outstanding pills.

While the Celestial Sect of Wonders didn’t appear to have the intention of ruling the entire Divine Lands, they were largely involved in the trade of material resources in the Divine Lands. They could easily obtain what they wanted.

Furthermore, the humans achieved huge success in the War of the Two Worlds and expanded their territories into the Barren Expanses. They managed to control many Middle Worlds and alternate planes of spaces that the demons once controlled.

As the leader, the Celestial Sect of Wonders benefited the greatest.

In addition, the mysterious Ying Sea also completely belonged to the Celestial Sect of Wonders right now. There were countless valuable resources to be mined in the Ying Sea.

Although the Netherworld Sea raged with disasters and the Black Sea was tightly guarded by the dragons, the Void Sea was a place where one could enter and exit freely.

From a certain perspective, the resources that the Celestial Sect of Wonders could possibly tap on represented a new peak in the history of the Divine Lands.

These resources could even be put to good use as they landed in Xiao Yan’s hands, who had the help of the Crucible of the Divine Lands to help too.

To the Heavenly Master Swordmaster and the rest, they realized that they had underestimated the Celestial Sect of Wonders even though they knew their disciples were very outstanding.

Everyone knew that they couldn’t view the Celestial Sect of Wonders the same way that they viewed them before, but today’s engagement ceremony gave them a new understanding of the Celestial Sect of Wonders.

During the War of the Two Worlds, Lin Feng and his line of disciples from Xiao Yan and Zhu Yi to Tang Jun, Yang Tie, Han Yang, Zhou Yuncong and Dao Yuting to Lian Huashao, Meng Honglou, and Chen Fangge, let everyone realized the strength of the Celestial Sect of Wonders.

Their conflict with the Great Zhou Empire further proved this point.

Right now, everyone present felt that the Celestial Sect of Wonders was not just the best in terms of fighting strength. Their accumulation of resources was also unrivaled in the Divine Lands.

It was Xiao Yan’s engagement ceremony, which made it even more significant.

While the Celestial Sect of Wonders was unbothered by the array of luxurious gifts that were presented to the Gu Empire, the Gu Empire had a different perspective towards the matter.

To them, these gifts were very lavish.

They were so lavish that Gu Jun and the others were even thinking of modifying the dowry that they had decided on.

Although neither Lin Feng or Xiao Yan were bothered by the dowry, the Gu Empire was still very serious about it.

The Gu Empire naturally couldn’t compare to the Celestial Sect of Wonders. No one would expect them to present a dowry that was as lavish as the Celestial Sect of Wonders’ betrothal gift. But if the difference was too huge, the Gu Empire would be a laughing stock.

Gu Cheng turned to Gu Yuankai, “Ninth uncle, although we’re unsure when Zhener will officially marry, I think it’s best to prepare early. I’ll need you to cultivate the pills and ensure their quality.”

Gu Yuankai nodded his head steadily, “That’s for sure.”

“The Prized Lotus Pill is only effective for the Gu Family members who’re cultivating the Ancient Immortality Scripture, thus we’ll make the Longevity Pill our priority. The Celestial Sect disciples are all very outstanding and probably won’t need it, but it’ll be useful for the exchange of resources with other sects and powers. Their disciples’ family members can also consume the Longevity Pill and prolong their lives.”

Gu Yuankai looked at the gourds in Duan Muhong’s hands and squinted his eyes, “We need to increase the quantity of the Longevity Pill to twenty-four at least. We need to increase the quantity of the other pills too.”

He paused for a moment, “Wait a minute. We need to increase the types of gifts too. We seem to be lacking in the types of gifts that are comparable to the Pearl of Scenery, star skull, Starry Sea Heavenly Gravel and Purplish Condensed Dew in terms of value.”

“That’s right. I’ll discuss with Your Majesty later on and confirm the detailed figures.” Gu Cheng nodded his head and sighed suddenly, “As compared to the Trayastrimsa Elixir of Creation and Celestialmystic Golden Pill, I’m more shocked by the Life Substitution Pill.”

“Although the other two pills have very magical effects and are extremely valuable, they’re very ample. After all, the pill formulas belong to the Celestial Sect of Wonders. There’s also the Crucible of Divine Lands. As long as the materials are in place, they can cultivate these pills. With Xiao Yan’s pill cultivation skills, they’ll always be perfect.”

“However, it’s different for the Life Substitution Pill. It seems like the Celestial Sect of Wonders has restored this pill formula. It’s rather surprising and impressive.”

Gu Yuankai nodded his head. When they received the incomplete version of the Life Substitution Pill then and decided to turn to the Celestial Sect of Wonders, they also provided this incomplete version of the pill formula to the Celestial Sect of Wonders.

Over these years, Gu Yuankai also researched on this incomplete version and tried to restore it. He managed to make some progress.

But now it seemed like the Celestial Sect of Wonders had managed to completely deduce the pill formula of the Life Substitution Pill.

After all, the Great Void Sect lost three Life Substitution Pills to the Celestial Sect of Wonders during the pill cultivation contest in the Ancient Longevity World. There were only three of them, and at least one was used up during the War of the Two Worlds.

“Lin Feng might have done it personally.” Gu Yuankai commented softly. “Over these years, Xiao Yan’s skills in pill cultivation might have increased significantly, but his standard shouldn’t be so impressive such that he can restore the Life Substitution Pill.”

Gu Cheng turned his attention to Lin Feng and nodded his head slightly, “Lin Feng is indeed very knowledgeable.”

Liang Gan laughed bitterly and turned to Prince Yanliang Lian Fu, “Uncle Yanliang, do I have a sister that’s ready to be married out?”

Liang Fu grinned, “Your Majesty, you’re joking.”

Liang Gan shook his head, “Of course I’m joking. But I can’t laugh it out.”

Although the Great Zhou wasn’t as powerful as it used to be, they wouldn’t stoop so low as to sell their own subjects. If a Celestial Sect disciple offered such a generous betrothal gift, the Great Zhou would most certainly prepare an equally valuable dowry too.

If such a relationship existed, the ties between the Celestial Sect of Wonders and Great Zhou Empire should be much closer.

Although the Celestial Sect of Wonders didn’t interfere in the conflicts between the Great Zhou Empire and the other sects and powers, they would help the Great Zhou Empire if they were on the verge of collapse.

Liang Fu’s relationship with Liang Gan had always been rather good. When Liang Gan was isolated by Liang Pan, Liang Fu looked out for him. After Liang Gan ascended the throne, Liang Fu was also rewarded. The Frontier Galleon was given to Liang Fu after Liang Gan did some convincing.

“Your Majesty, there’s an empty spot for the Empress’ position.” Liang Fu joked as he communicated with Liang Gan. Liang Gan was amused, “Uncle Yanliang, are you making a fool out of me?”

Liang Fu sighed, “I won’t dare to.”

Liang Gan also retracted his smile and said, “I understand what you mean. But it’s difficult to find such a perfect combination like Xiao Yan and the Qing Ye Holy Woman.”

“The Martial Celestial Master and Sword Celestial Master are very focused on their cultivations...” Liang Fu nodded his head in agreement, “Moreover, they don’t need to form a Daoist couple. If they become Daoist couples with someone else, they’ll be supporting their partners. In this way, they’re unlikely to seek partners or even husbands.”

He stopped as he spoke and was a little hesitant as he looked at Liang Gan.

Liang Gan seemed to know what he was thinking and smiled. “The Celestial Sect of Wonders is very powerful. If nothing surprising happens, they are likely to become even stronger in the future. Even if I seek marriage with one of their second-generation disciples, it won’t be a humiliation.”

Liang Fu didn’t respond to his words. Even if it seemed humiliating, it wasn’t anything much. Long ago, the Great Zhou Empire was only a small empire compared to the Great Qin Empire before it rose. The Great Zhou Emperor tried to wed a Great Qin royalty back then.

Following that, the Great Zhou Empire took its chances and grew to become a comparable force with the Great Qin Empire.

Who could tell what was going to happen in the future? The important thing was the present. It was important to capture the present so that one could look forward to the future.

Liang Gan turned to look at Liang Fu now, “Is there any difference between the second-generation and the Martial Celestial Master and Sword Celestial Master?”

Liang Fu was silent as he nodded.

Everyone was shocked by the Celestial Sect of Wonders’ generosity and the accumulation of resources that they had. The Gu Empire estimated how best to repay the Celestial Sect. Lin Feng smiled as he said, “Sorry to have made myself a laughing stock. The last gift shall be presented by my disciple personally.”

Everyone became very focused at this point, including Gu Jun.

Wasn’t it the end of the gifts?

There was still the last gift? How valuable must this last gift be?

Everyone turned their attention towards Xiao Yan.

Xiao Yan opened his palms and a golden flame rose. This golden flame flashed with red and blue.

“Isn’t this the Nanming Primordial Fire? The Gu Empire already has the Holy Lihuo Mantra...” Everyone wasn’t disappointed but curious.
