The sect asked me to marry, and I cultivated to the pinnacle of martial arts!

Immediately, Jiang Lingyue turned around in surprise and looked around...

Behind him was nothing but emptiness; the wind seemed to be blowing in from the crack in the door.
Or through the crack in the window?

Shaking her head, Jiang Lingyue didn't dwell on it any longer since she hadn't seen anything.

Knowing that many people were waiting outside, Jiang Lingyue did not rest in the alchemy room for too long. After a while, she went out.

Just as Jiang Lingyue stood up, preparing to walk out, a gentle breeze blew away first.

Upon seeing the tightly closed door of the alchemy room open, several high-ranking members of the Wuxiang Sect, led by the sect leader, immediately looked over with delight.

...

Meanwhile, in a small town at the foot of the Wuxiang Mountains.

Qingyu and Lu Ye temporarily stayed at an inn.

Qingyu knew that Lu Ye had just left the inn.

Just as everyone was wondering what their son-in-law had gone to do, Lu Ye unexpectedly returned, and the round trip took very little time.

After thinking for a moment, Qingyu opened her room door and went out, where she happened to run into Lu Ye, who was walking up to the second-floor superior room.

"Young Master, where did you go just now? Why are you back so soon?" Qingyu always asked questions when she had them.

"Soon?" Upon hearing this, Lu Ye smiled and said, "I went to the Wuxiang Sect to take a look. Now, we just need to wait for the show to begin."

The wind that Jiang Lingyue felt in the alchemy room earlier...

Actually, it was Lu Ye who caused the commotion.

This was something Lu Ye deliberately revealed, just to see Jiang Lingyue's reaction.

Otherwise, with his skillful movement, not a single sound would be leaked.

After visiting the Wuxiang Sect, Qingyu immediately understood.

The son-in-law seems to really care about his sister-in-law.

At this moment, after Lu Ye finished speaking, his expression changed. In his perception, the old man at the fifth level of martial arts master was already leading his people towards the back mountain of Wuxiang Mountain, which was the location discussed in the previous plan.

I plan to leave immediately after I get my hands on it!

This operation is very risky, because once it is exposed, the Zhou family's reputation in the Northern Territory will be completely ruined.

Therefore, the old man acted very carefully, and did not disturb anyone when he left the town.

"Leave quickly."

The old man didn't bring many people with him on this trip, just the two of them. One of them was Zhou Lan, the most outstanding genius of the Zhou family, who was at the fourth level of the Innate Realm.

The other person was an old servant of the Zhou family who was at the Innate Realm.

The three of them quickly arrived at a deserted place, took a detour from there, and headed towards the back of the Wuxiang Mountains.

"Ancestor, if we succeed this time, I should be able to reach the Martial Arts Grandmaster realm soon, right?" Zhou Lan from the Zhou family had come along to broaden his horizons.

Even now, despite bearing the reputation of being a genius of the Zhou family, Zhou Lan was still extremely excited.

After all, he knew that if the female disciple of the Wuxiang Sect was really a fifth-level alchemy master, she would be far more monstrous than Zhou Lan!

Moreover, there are rumors circulating that this female disciple of the Wuxiang Sect is exceptionally beautiful...

A faint glint flashed in Zhou Lan's eyes as he thought this. Exceptionally beautiful... and such a monster of alchemy. If he controlled her at the beginning, and once he established communication with her, would he have a chance to capture her?
In this way, I will have a Daoist partner who is a fifth-level alchemy master.

As for whether he was confident, Zhou Lan was quite self-assured.

After all, if they were to fall under the control of the Zhou family, having Zhou Lan's care would be much more comfortable than having no care at all.

“Ancestor, I have heard that this disciple of the Wuxiang Sect is a female cultivator. Although her cultivation level is said to be not high, she has such profound knowledge of alchemy. I think... we can incorporate her into my Zhou family.”

Upon hearing this, the Zhou family patriarch, who was walking ahead, stopped.

He looked thoughtfully at this most outstanding great-grandson of the younger generation and asked, "Oh...you mean?"

Zhou Lan, with an expression of dedication to the family, said, "I think this task should be entrusted to me. I will do my best to win her over and make her completely belong to my Zhou family."

After thinking for a moment, the Zhou family patriarch did not refuse and nodded, saying, "Since you have this intention, you can try it after you get it. If you succeed, that would be the best. Otherwise, even if you succeed, it would be troublesome if she is determined not to refine pills for my Zhou family."

Once you've chosen to capture and control this type of character, it's impossible to release them again, regardless of whether the other side is willing to cooperate.

If she were released, she could probably gather a powerful network of connections far exceeding that of the Zhou family in a very short time!

At that time, it would have been an easy task to crush the Zhou family.

So... if the final result is really not satisfactory, then I can only follow the principle that if I can't have it, no one else can have it either!

Upon thinking of this, a fierce glint appeared in the eyes of the Zhou family patriarch.

Just after the two finished their conversation, they suddenly felt that the temperature in the forest had dropped by several degrees.

This sudden realization sent chills down the spines of even cultivators of their caliber.

"Ok?"

In an instant, the Zhou family patriarch looked around warily, but all around was silent, and the only people in the visible area were the three of them.

And no abnormalities were detected in the spiritual sense.

The Zhou family patriarch was very confident in his powerful spiritual sense. His spiritual sense was slightly higher than his cultivation level and could be compared with a proper martial arts grandmaster at the sixth or seventh level!
Since there are no problems with spiritual perception, then it's probably just that I'm being too cautious.

However, this is a major event concerning the fate of the Zhou family for a thousand years, so it is understandable that they are a little nervous.

A moment later, the three arrived at a pre-arranged spot on the back mountain and waited quietly.

Meanwhile, within the Wuxiang Sect...

Jiang Lingyue declined the sect's offer to hold a grand banquet for her. After bidding farewell to everyone, she planned to return to her small courtyard.

She had no intention of hosting a banquet; her brother-in-law hadn't replied to her messages in ages!
"Alright, alright, since Junior Sister Jiang doesn't want to make a fuss, let's not force her. Let her rest alone for a while."

Outside the alchemy hall of Danfeng, watching the slightly slender woman's back slowly heading down the mountain, the sect leader of Wuxiang Sect pondered for a moment before making the final decision.

The Sect Master of Wuxiang understood this very well.

The most urgent thing is to follow the wishes of Jiang Lingyue, the master.

Going against her wishes would only make Jiang Lingyue dislike the Wuxiang Sect, which would be a thankless task and unnecessary.

Hearing the sect leader say this, two or three elders who advocated holding a grand banquet to entertain the elders of the Northern Territory could only nod helplessly.

On the other side, as Jiang Lingyue walked, a second-tier alchemist from Dan Peak, who also seemed to be descending the peak, joined her on her way down... (End of Chapter)
