Cultivating Immortality in a Family: I Prove Immortality Through the Chaotic Dao Realm

Chapter 237 Zhao and Qian Clash! The Wang Family Presents a Gift! The Five Great Immortal Sects Make Their Appearance!
Compared to the Zhao family, the Qian family's gift was clearly more suitable and more valuable, which immediately stirred up an even more heated discussion among the clan cultivators.

"Hiss~ No wonder the Qian family can have the surname Qian, they really are rich."

"Tch~ Does the Zhao family not have the ability to pay? It's just that the Qian family is more attentive."

Upon hearing these remarks, Qian Mantian's smile widened even more.

On the contrary, Zhao Rensong's face fell.

It's not that the Zhao family's gifts were bad; it's just that the Qian family was too ruthless—how could they afford to spend so much?!

"Damn it! I knew this gift was too light," Zhao Rensong thought to himself.

He completely forgot that when he chose the gift, he felt it was already enough and he didn't need anything more.

But it's too late to say anything now; we can only try to fix it later.

Qian Yuzheng had no time to pay attention to the surrounding discussions; her gaze was already drawn to the two elegant and graceful figures on the Chengtian Platform.

She first looked at Chen Qian, who was dressed in a purple-gold robe in the style of the sun and moon, and then at Chen Yunyi, who was stunningly beautiful and had a noble temperament, standing beside him. She was secretly impressed by the elegance and demeanor of the two of them.

He thought to himself, “Mistress Yunyi is a woman of refined and understated beauty, with profound cultivation. I must be even more attentive when serving her.”

After the Zhao and Qian families presented their gifts, it was the turn of several Foundation Establishment families who had little interaction with the Chen family. They also sent their congratulatory gifts and well wishes.

For example, the Bai family of Luoyue Lake, the Xu family of Huangqi Mountain, and so on. Since these families have only a general relationship with the Chen family, they are just there to show their support. The things they bring are of course not very valuable, just ordinary second-tier spiritual items, not worth mentioning.

……

Next up were several smaller Qi Refining families, such as the Chu family, the Tantai family, the Han family, and the Sun family.

It was inevitable that their family wasn't wealthy, but as Chen Qian's in-laws, they couldn't afford to lose face. The Chen family had anticipated this and made arrangements accordingly.

After selecting the women from these families, the Chen family presented generous gifts when they came to pay their respects, all for this very moment.

Therefore, at this time, these relatives and friends of the in-laws were able to present their "generous gifts," each with its own unique charm, which drew gasps of surprise from the surrounding crowd, creating a lively and festive scene.

Chu Lingyi, Tantai Tianxiang, Han Youwei, and Sun Xueluo were all dressed up in a grand manner, highlighting their own charm, which made the attendees secretly envious of Chen Qian's good fortune.

Led by their family members, the four women carefully stood together with Zhao Jingni and Qian Yuzheng, who had arrived earlier, and together they came to the foot of Chengtiantai.

They would have to wait until Chen Qian and Chen Yunyi's formal joint cultivation ceremony was over before Chen Qian would lead them to the stage to receive congratulations from the other cultivators.

At this moment, their eyes were all focused on the tall figure on the stage, and they couldn't look away for a moment.

Although their eyes still held a hint of trepidation and unease about the future, they were quickly overwhelmed by Chen Qian's charm after getting close to him.

I was actually feeling a bit dizzy, completely intoxicated, both physically and mentally.

Sun Xueluo was so agitated and nervous due to the violent fluctuations in her blood and qi that she could not stand steadily.

Fortunately, Tantai Tianxiang, who was standing next to her, had always cared about this frail little girl and helped her up in time.

Although the six women could only stand below the stage at this moment, they were still the focus of everyone's attention.

Many of the female cultivators from the families who were not selected also came to the ceremony venue with their fathers and brothers.

They looked at the six women below the stage, their faces puffed up with anger and resentment. They wondered what they were lacking that the elders of the Chen family had not taken a liking to them.

……

At Baiyu Square, Chen Yunzheng was responsible for maintaining order in a small area and occasionally directed guests who were unfamiliar with the area.

The celebratory gifts from various families had just sparked heated discussions among the cultivators present, leading to some disorder.

Several young Chen family boys secretly ran up to Baiyu Square, hoping to squeeze into the ceremony venue to watch the excitement.

When Chen Yunzheng discovered them, he did not immediately drive them away, but kept them by his side, only forbidding them from wandering around anymore.

After calming down the boys, he looked up and his gaze fell on the radiant figure on the Chengtian Platform.

At that moment, the noise of the scene seemed to suddenly fade away, and his heart was filled with ripples.

Once upon a time, he was the "newcomer king" whom the family adored, and he regarded Chen Qian, who had just entered the valley to cultivate, as "trash," showing much disdain for him.

After that, he had a gambling match with Chen Qian, was rescued by him in Luoxia Mountain, and witnessed him turn the tide in Qingye Mountain Market...

Chen Qian's various amazing performances repeatedly challenged his understanding and extinguished his arrogance.

At this time, his cultivation level had improved significantly compared to two years ago, and he was even comparable to outstanding disciples of the same age in the immortal sect.

But to his despair, he discovered that the gap between him and Chen Qian was widening, to the point that he could no longer even see Chen Qian's heels.

He had felt frustrated and resentful before, but now he has truly taken his grandfather Chen Ruiang's advice to heart.

Chen Qian is a true dragon soaring in the sky, and as long as he can keep up with his footsteps, he will one day be able to share in his glory.

……

Just when many participants felt the climax of the ceremony had passed and the ceremony was about to move on to the next stage—

"The Wang family of Xuanwu Territory, with Master Shiyuan and their clanswoman Wang Qing'er, present a congratulatory gift—a top-grade spiritual artifact, the 'Ink Crystal Mystic Armor Shield,' one hundred catties of the secret-recipe 'Xuanwu Body Refining Ointment,' and ten portions of Xuanmo Crystal Rock Ore! Congratulations to Lord Chen and his wife on their unimpeded ascension to immortality, their love deeper than the sea!"

"The Wang family of Xuanwu Territory, with Master Shiyuan and their clanswoman Wang Qing'er, present congratulatory gifts..."

"The Wang family of Xuanwu Territory, with Master Shiyuan and their clanswoman Wang Qing'er, present congratulatory gifts..."

This time, they sang "yes" three times in a row!
This is also a tradition in the cultivation world, because it is a gift from a pseudo-core cultivation family to a foundation-building family, and the foundation-building family should give it sufficient respect.

As the saying goes, important things should be said three times.

This is a fine tradition that has always been upheld in the cultivation world, and the Chen family should naturally follow it as well.

These three pronouncements, amplified by the sound amplification array, were undoubtedly heard clearly and distinctly by everyone present.

The effect was like a giant rock, heated to an unbearable scorching temperature, being thrown into a small pond and exploding!
The bang left everyone's heads buzzing! They were all momentarily questioning the meaning of life.

Did you hear it wrong?

This is a question that instantly arises in the minds of many people.

It wasn't just because the gifts from the Wang family were so precious and impressive...

Furthermore, many people present knew that the Wang family of Xuanwu Ridge was clearly still suppressing the Chen family and was not at odds with them...

Why would someone suddenly come to attend the ceremony and present such a precious gift?

Moreover, the person who came was none other than Shi Yuan Zhenren, one of the two pseudo-elixir ancestors of the Wang family.

This is way too extravagant!

"Hiss~ Fellow Daoist, why are you pinching me?"

"Oh, I'm sorry, fellow Daoist, I pinched the wrong person! I meant to pinch myself."

Why did you pinch yourself?

"I just wanted to see if the Wang family had arrived, and whether the sound I just heard was just my imagination."

“It’s not just my imagination, because I heard it too.”

……

The Wang family's gift was far too generous!

The top-tier spiritual artifact, the Ink Crystal Armor Shield, is worth at least 100,000 spirit stones. The secret-recipe Xuanwu Body Refining Ointment and the Xuanmo Crystal Rock Mineral Core are exclusive to the Wang family. The former is a sacred medicine for body refining within the Wang family, while the latter is a rare spiritual material used to forge magical treasures. The Wang family has always been extremely protective of its possessions and rarely sells them. Who would have thought that so many would be given away at such a small Foundation Establishment Ceremony?!

The expressions of the many cultivators present changed slightly. The Xuanwu Royal Family's actions were clearly sending a clear signal.

The Wang family and the Chen family will become the closest allies!
Needless to say.

Regardless of what the cultivators present thought, Chen Qian had already personally descended from the Chengtian Platform and headed towards Wang Shiyuan and Wang Qing'er, who had already entered the mountain gate.

"Master Shiyuan, Fairy Qing'er, thank you for your presence. Qianlong Mountain is honored."

Chen Qian greeted them with a hearty laugh, bowing respectfully from afar, showing the Wang family members ample respect and courtesy.

"Fellow Daoist Yunqian, congratulations! The grandeur and magnificence of Qianlong Mountain are truly extraordinary!"

Wang Shiyuan was completely unpretentious, treating Chen Qian as an equal and befriending him with a warm and sincere tone.

"..." Wang Qing'er was speechless, unable to bring herself to congratulate her.

He wanted to say something sarcastic, but upon seeing the handsome and dashing Chen Qian, he couldn't bring himself to speak.

Wang Shiyuan's cultivation was profound, surpassing all others in the entire venue. His voice was deep and powerful, without any concealment, and everyone present could hear it clearly.

This immediately drew another murmur of surprise.

Which of these attending cultivators isn't a shrewd and calculating individual?

Wang Shiyuan's words were filled with undisguised praise, and even contained a hint of obsequiousness, which most people understood.

This... is too unreal!
The two major realms of Core Formation and Foundation Establishment are like an insurmountable chasm, even far exceeding the gap between Foundation Establishment and Qi Refining.

Even if a cultivator is only a half-finished pseudo-core cultivator, their combat power and lifespan far exceed those of a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

Although they were somewhat subservient in front of True Core cultivators, when facing Foundation Establishment cultivators, which one of them didn't act arrogantly and consider themselves a senior?

When did this situation turn out the other way around?

What merit or ability does Chen Yunqian, the master of Qianlong Mountain, possess?!

Not to mention outsiders who couldn't understand it, even the Chen family members present, including the shrewd and experienced Chen Ruiang and Chen Ruiyang, were somewhat bewildered at this moment.

They had been informed by Chen Qian that he had personally gone to Xuanwu Ridge a few days ago and resolved the dispute with the Wang family over the Huoyun Mountain mine.

They also knew that the Wang family would send people to participate in the ceremony and offer their congratulations.

But to everyone's surprise, the scene was so explosive!

The gifts given were so precious!

Moreover, the person from the Wang family was none other than Wang Shiyuan, one of the two fake alchemy ancestors!

And... his attitude was so humble and warm!

……

Chen Qian and Wang Shiyuan walked hand in hand with smiles on their faces, their manner warm yet not obsequious, and Chen Qian personally escorted the two members of the Wang family to their seats in the VIP area.

Wang Qing'er has also changed her usual arrogant and spoiled manner, and it can be seen that she has put a lot of effort into her appearance.

She wore a moon-white flowing cloud dress, her figure was graceful, her face was stunning, and her youthful face was adorned with a touch of nobility.

She looked towards Chengtiantai with complicated emotions, searching for the figures of Chen Qian's wives, but only saw Chen Yunyi.

Today is Yunyi's big day, but Yunxi and Momo did not show up. They did not want to come out and steal their sister's limelight.

Bathed in the warm light of the light and shadow array in Baiyu Square, Chen Yunyi stood with a gentle smile, dressed in a flowing moon-patterned dress with starlight and cloud patterns. Her accessories shimmered with tiny lights, making her the brightest star in the venue, both aloof and dazzling.

When Wang Qing'er's gaze met Chen Yunyi's clear, snow-white eyes, her heart inexplicably tightened, and she subconsciously lowered her head slightly.

Today, Chen Yunyi and Chen Qian's outfits were remarkably well-matched. "Sun and Moon" symbolizes the Yin-Yang principle, while "Starlight and Flowing Moon" represents the Taiyin constellation. The two subtly embody the celestial concept of "the sun and moon shining together, and stars and moon reflecting each other."

They... are such a perfect match!

……

By this point in the gift-giving ceremony, many cultivators were thoroughly enjoying themselves and felt that their trip had been worthwhile.

There aren't many new things happening in the cultivation world, and it's foreseeable that this ceremony will be talked about by the cultivators present for years to come.

At this moment, everyone assumed that all the important guests for the ceremony should have arrived.

Next, it should be time for the Lord of Qianlong Mountain and his Daoist partner to formally hold their joint cultivation ceremony.

Just as everyone was preparing to move to the foot of Chengtiantai to wait for the ceremony—

Outside Qianlong Mountain, in the northeastern sky, the clear chirping of birds and melodious music could be faintly heard.

Chen Qian raised an eyebrow, thinking to himself, "They've finally arrived!"

Su Yueshang and several Foundation Establishment cultivators from various immortal sects were coming to offer their congratulations, so naturally they wouldn't launch a surprise attack.

Half a day ago, Chen Qian was informed of the approximate itinerary.

Therefore, Chen Qian had already instructed the master of ceremonies, Chen Hongyuan, not to rush to arrange the joint ceremony, but to follow his instructions.

Chen Hongyuan was still somewhat puzzled by this.

But since the mountain lord had given the order, he naturally obeyed unconditionally.

Now, the reasons behind it are obvious.

As the birdsong and music in the sky drew closer to Qianlong Mountain, the cultivators on the White Jade Square finally saw clearly who was coming.

It was a gigantic crane, a giant sword, a square cauldron, and a six-pointed star disk...

And in the center stands a giant jade comb that shimmers with a hazy, clear light!
"My God! That giant sword is the second-tier 'Sky Piercing' standard flying sword of the Hidden Edge Pavilion!"

After a moment of silence on the white jade square, the cultivators finally erupted into a heated discussion.

"I recognize this cauldron; it's the Blue Flame Cauldron of the Crimson Flame Sect!"

"Oh, no wonder it looked familiar. I've only ever seen the White Flame Cauldron, which is one level lower."

"And that six-pointed star disc, it's the Seven Stars Sect's Yao Guang Flying Disc!"

"So, that spirit crane must be the mount of a cultivator from the Beast Taming Sect!"

"What about the spirit comb in the middle? What's its background? It looks obviously extraordinary, and it occupies the very center position."

"Fool, since the five major immortal sects have already recognized four of them, is the last one so hard to guess?"

"If it's the Drunken Moon Palace, then why does it occupy the central position? Aren't they supposed to be the weakest of the five great immortal sects?"

"Silence! I just heard Master Shiyuan of the Wang family say that the figure on the jade comb in the middle is a Core Formation Realm cultivator!"

"Ah!" The man was startled and almost shrank his head into his chest.

Foundation Establishment cultivators were fine; they could whisper among themselves, but it was harmless.

But a Core Formation cultivator is truly terrifying, because even at this distance, they are completely within the range of the other party's divine sense.
