Primordial Era: Elixir of Qi Transforms into Form, Controlling the Pharmacology of the World

After Hou Yi accepted the betrothal gifts on behalf of the Wu tribe, he was able to do so.

Dijiang naturally knew this, and said with a smile, "Haha... Fellow Daoist Taiqing has already delivered the betrothal gifts on behalf of Ling Dan. Next, it's time for our dowry."

"Haha... Preparing a dowry for Houtu is truly a first for me. However, Fellow Daoist Taiqing is also very generous this time, offering thirty-three resource worlds. While they may not seem like much, the races raised within them are quite special. Sixty percent of them contain the bloodline of savage beasts. These races are definitely the best resources for our Wu Clan." Zhu Jiuyin laughed heartily.

"That's natural. Legend has it that the savage beasts were transformed from the blood and flesh of the Chaos God. These beasts are absolutely the most precious treasures for our Wu Clan's cultivation. Unfortunately, the beasts have perished, and very few remain. I didn't expect that Fellow Daoist Taiqing would raise so many." Zhu Rong also laughed.

"Since Fellow Daoist Taiqing is so generous, we cannot be stingy. Besides, this is our own sister's wedding, so we must prepare a sufficient dowry." Dijiang was also serious.

"Don't worry. We, the Witch Clan, have no need for many of these resources. We'll just set aside a portion as part of the dowry." Zhu Jiuyin laughed heartily.

This marriage is truly important for the Wu tribe. After all, with the earth marriage ritual perfected, the races involved will undoubtedly experience a period of explosive population growth. Just look at the demon race; over the years, their population has multiplied at an unimaginable pace.

This held immense appeal for the Wu tribe.

Moreover, the one getting married this time is Ling Dan, who has helped the Wu Clan so much.

After much preparation, the arrangements were made.

The dowry from the Wu tribe was sent towards Kunlun.

Hou Yi and several other great shamans protected them, along with a group of their people.

His journey through the wilderness attracted the attention of many races.

After all, the primordial world is currently in chaos, with various races vying for power, but these are all battles fought on the lower levels. The most powerful beings have all maintained restraint and have not yet entered the fray.

The fact that the Witch Clan has dispatched so many powerful witches serves as a warning to many other races.

However, Hou Yi and his companions didn't do anything special. Those who blocked their path were all cleared away. They simply flew obediently towards the Kunlun Mountains, leaving many races puzzled.

Finally, Hou Yi led his people to the Kunlun Mountains and called out, "Hou Yi of the Wu tribe has come to pay respects to Senior Taiqing, Senior Yuqing, Senior Shangqing..."

Ling Xi, who has returned to Kunlun, now opens the mountain gates wide to welcome Hou Yi and his companions.

Hou Yi entered, but did not see Laozi and the others.

After all, it's the younger generation who handles the betrothal gifts; it's not appropriate for the elders to get involved.

Therefore, Ling Xi and Duo Bao were put in charge of handling this matter.

Ling Xi spoke with a hint of caution: "Fellow Daoist Hou Yi... you must have had a hard time on this trip."

"It's no trouble at all. After all, this is the marriage of Houtu, the Ancestral Witch, and Lingdan, the Heavenly Venerable; it's only right that I contribute." Houyi said, then ordered many of his clansmen to present the dowry: "This dowry, prepared on behalf of the Witch Clan for Houtu, includes sixty-six resource worlds, sixty-six innate spiritual treasures..."

Good heavens, the dowry given by the witch clan is being returned double.

In addition, it involves many blessed lands, which is absolutely magnificent.

Ling Xi didn't care too much about it. After all, whether it was a dowry or a betrothal gift, it was just a formality.

Ling Xi smiled and said, "On behalf of my senior brother, I accept the dowry."

"Very well. Now that the betrothal gifts and dowry have been prepared, the next step is the wedding. According to the ancestral witch Dijiang, ten thousand years from now, the wedding will be held in Buzhou, to announce it to Heaven and Earth," Hou Yi said solemnly.

Ling Xi nodded: "Very well. I will inform my master about this later. Ten thousand years from now, we will hold a marriage ceremony to announce it to Heaven and Earth."

Ten thousand years later, in the land of Buzhou, a local marriage ceremony was held.

This news quickly reached the Nuwa Palace.

Now, inside the Nuwa Palace, Ling Dan is aware of this news and is also clear about the well-established system in place.

"Little Lingdan... the betrothal gifts and dowry are considered part of the celestial marriage system. After the worship of heaven and earth, the terrestrial marriage system will be continued. At that time, the ceremony will be complete." Nuwa looked at Lingdan in her arms with a smile.

Ling Dan was speechless upon hearing this. She was currently being held by Nuwa and couldn't possibly resist Nuwa's Hunyuan cultivation.

Ling Dan sighed inwardly and couldn't help but ask, "How exactly will the system of celestial marriage be continued?"

"Don't ask any more questions about this matter. Leave these things to me. Next, we should return to Buzhou. However, my true form cannot go there; I can only send you there through my avatar," Nuwa said slowly.

Houtu looked at Lingdan and took her from Nuwa's arms: "Little Lingdan... ten thousand years from now, you and I will be husband and wife, aren't you happy...?"

Houtu acted as if she were teasing a child, which made Ling Dan very annoyed.

Being shrunk and held in someone's arms like a child—what's so exciting about that?

Have you ever seen a husband turned into a child and held in someone's arms?

Ling Dan was extremely depressed and looked at the Queen Mother, who remained calm and composed.

The Queen Mother seemed completely unconcerned about the matter. Or perhaps, she had anticipated it all along.

What could Ling Dan say? She was held in his arms and waited until almost the last minute before returning to Buzhou Land.

……

In the blink of an eye, the day of ten thousand years arrived.

Now, even in this place of incompleteness, joy and celebration abound.

Dijiang and the others were dressed in festive attire, and Laozi and the others also changed into Taoist robes, especially Tongtian, who changed into a red Taoist robe.

Dijiang and the others were dressed in festive attire, and Laozi and the others also changed into Taoist robes, especially Tongtian, who changed into a red Taoist robe.

"Fellow Daoist Taiqing... I never imagined that after so many years, we could have such a relationship." Dijiang also laughed.

Taiqing Laozi nodded in agreement: "Indeed. Life is unpredictable. I never expected that my disciple would come to this point, and even have such a predestined relationship with Houtu."

"Fate is fate after all. After all, who could have imagined that the aura contained in Ling Dan would be so compatible with Hou Tu, enabling them to create and procreate? Perhaps when you first brought Ling Dan to the Witch Clan, your destiny was already set," Zhu Jiuyin said slowly.

The Primordial Celestial Venerable nodded: "The Way of Destiny is indeed profound."

Amidst the many words spoken, the incarnation of Nuwa appeared, exuding an aura of predestined marriage, and holding a red embroidered ball.

"The auspicious time has arrived, time for the Earthly Wedding Altar!" Nuwa called out.

At this moment, Ling Dan, dressed in magnificent attire, walked in with an air of grandeur.

Houtu, dressed in red and adorned with a phoenix coronet and embroidered robe, slowly walked over.

Soon, they entered the altar.

At that moment, Nuwa's Daoist voice resounded: "Marriage and procreation shall be performed on Earth, witnessed by Heaven and Earth. The law of Earthly Marriage, derived from Heavenly Marriage, shall include four bows. First, bow to the Great God Pangu, who created the primordial world, procreated the primordial world, and created all living beings!"

Upon hearing this, Ling Dan and Hou Tu slowly bowed towards Buzhou Mountain, as if paying homage to the great god Pangu.

This bow caused a change in the atmosphere at Buzhou, as if something was faintly reviving.

That change was also noticed by the races near Buzhou Land, as well as by powerful beings.

Nuwa sensed it too, but paid it no mind, and continued, "Secondly, I bow to the primordial chaos, for it nurtured all things and protected all living beings!"

Upon hearing this, Ling Dan and Hou Tu bowed once more. The primordial world changed, the earth rose, and creation transformed.

……

"Bowing three times to our elders to express our gratitude for their nurturing and guidance."

As she spoke, Ling Dan's eyes flickered, and together with Hou Tu, they gazed at Buzhou Mountain in perfect unison, and slowly knelt in worship.

This kneeling ceremony is to thank the Father God Pangu, whose essence and blood evolved into the present-day Wu tribe, who are the parents of the Wu tribe.

As the son-in-law, Ling Dan naturally had to kneel and pay his respects.

Then Houtu, together with Lingdan, knelt before Zixiao Palace to express their gratitude to Grandmaster Hongjun. They then slowly bowed to their own master, their uncle.

These are all elders, all parents.

After the worship, a majestic aura surged within Mount Buzhou, stirring the winds and clouds in the sky, causing the heavens and earth to change color, and unleashing boundless divine power.

A surge of spiritual energy swept across the land, transforming into the land of Buzhou, as if responding to the will of Pangu contained within Buzhou Mountain.

……

Not only that, in the vast river of the Great Dao, two streaks of light flew down from the distant middle reaches.

That flowing light contained the essence of heaven and earth, and the profound meaning of destiny.

Finally, it crossed the long river, fell into Buzhou, and ended up in the hands of Ling Dan and Hou Tu.

"Ling Dan is the direct descendant of the third generation of the Xuanmen sect, and also the first person in our Xuanmen sect to get married. Therefore, she should have a wedding gift. This is the Marriage Jade Pendant, which contains the Great Dao of Marriage and can connect the hearts of two people, making them inseparable. I hope that you will continue the future of the Xuanmen sect." Hongjun's profound Dao voice descended upon this place.

Amidst the flowing light, the jade pendant of marriage also appeared, intertwined with a strong aura of marriage. Seemingly one, it was divided into yin and yang, and fell into the hands of Ling Dan and Hou Tu.

Ling Dan's eyes flickered with a hint of excitement: "Grand-disciple thanks Grandmaster."

Houtu also bowed in gratitude: "Granddaughter-in-law, I thank my grandmaster."

As they said this, Laozi and the others looked at each other, as if they wanted to offer some gifts.

Unexpectedly, Nuwa transmitted her voice again: "Bowing to each other four times, you are husband and wife, bow to each other!"

Upon hearing this, Ling Dan turned and gazed at Hou Tu in her red dress, feeling both her beauty and her joy.

Houtu smiled, winked, and then they bowed to each other.

After the four bows were completed, a mysterious aura spread throughout the world.

In the vast sky, crimson clouds, hundreds of millions of feet high, shrouded the land of Buzhou. On the earth, endless creation proliferated, causing all things to revive.
