Seeing Fang Xing laughing and entering the Taoist Palace, Dao Wufang, who was behind him, looked a little gloomy.
Xie Linfuan chuckled, put his hands behind his back, and floated towards the Taoist Palace.
Dao Wufang was unhappy because he had miscalculated at the first step. He had thought that after Fang Xing saw the tragic situation of the Nan Zhan cultivators, he would be moved no matter what. Even if he did not immediately intervene, he would be hostile to Song Guichan and feel a little fear of the sects in the Divine Land. In this way, he could only rely on him. With a little training, he could do a lot of things for him, and at the very least, he could cause a lot of trouble for Song Guichan.
But he did not expect that this guy's first step would be different from what he had thought. He actually went to rob?
He really couldn't understand where this little bastard got his guts from.
If he wanted to rob, then so be it. But he deliberately left such an obvious clue …
A golden fat crow!
… Dao Wufang was very sure that Fang Xing deliberately left it behind!
From the way he had done so many big cases in a row, this guy must be an expert. His hands and feet were clean and neat, and he had reached the Master Realm. No one saw through his identity, cultivation method, true face, whereabouts, and so on. But he let so many people see a golden crow. Was it really unintentional? It was clear that he deliberately made people suspect him, but there was no real evidence to confirm that it was him … Just this one point, how much trouble did it cause out of thin air? If those forces wanted to investigate, they would have to take him away. And now, he was a well-known guest of the Tianyi Palace. If he was taken away just like that, where would the face of the Tianyi Palace be?
This guy was personally welcomed by Elder Hu Jun …
Face!
In the Divine Land where everything was done according to rules, the most important thing was undoubtedly face!
The relationship between the Tianyi Palace, the Pure Yang Sect, the Spirit of Yin Sect, and the Talisman and Instrument Doctrine, the Song Family, the Yun Family, and the Wen Family, as well as the weaker sects such as the Nimble Qiao Sect and the Yi Qi Sect, was a mess. On the surface, there was still some balance, but the internal strife was really deep. If the Tianyi Palace casually handed over Fang Xing, although it would not suffer any loss, it would inevitably cause some gossip. That would be a huge blow to the reputation of the Tianyi Palace, invisible but fatal!
In addition, Fang Xing still had some value, or at least a lot of value. He was not willing to hand him over.
As a result, the Tianyi Palace was under great pressure. The matter of the two Great Ministers of the Red Makeup House was suppressed.
But fortunately, Dao Wufang was not so helpless. Just now, what he meant was that he had something on Fang Xing, so he wanted Fang Xing to listen to him, and warned Fang Xing that if he lost the protection of the Tianyi Palace, he was afraid that he would immediately be in big trouble. He thought that through this, if he could subdue Fang Xing, or use this handle to force him to do something, it would be a good deal.
As for Xie Linfuan's happiness, it was even simpler. At the very least, the greater the trouble in front of Fang Xing, the easier it was to control it.
In the meantime, the cultivators did not know, but they were secretly guessing whether Fang Xing was the legendary thief!
Inside the Hall of Tao, it was more than a hundred feet wide, extremely spacious and elegant. All the cultivators who entered the hall sat cross-legged in two rows. In the middle of the hall, there was a veil hanging down. Behind the veil, a tall and beautiful woman sat cross-legged, surrounded by burning sandalwood. Wisps of delicate fragrance came from behind the veil, making people's hearts tremble. It was the protagonist of this selection, the Canglan Sea Eldest Princess, Dragon Lady.
"In order to show her respect, the Eldest Princess offers a gift to all the Immortals!"
In the Hall of Tao, after everyone sat down, an old cultivator in the Gold Core Realm standing in front of the veil said in a low voice.
Immediately, from both sides of the Hall of Tao, two rows of female disciples of the Tianyi Palace came out, holding a tray in their hands, which was covered with a green veil. They placed the tray in front of each person. There was also a tray in front of Fang Xing. He reached out and opened it, only to see a bead the size of a baby's fist. It was dark green, cool to the touch, and contained rich water vapor, surrounded by mist.
"Sea Bead?"
Fang Xing praised in his heart, and then felt a little heartache.
The Sea Bead was a kind of treasure of the four seas, equivalent to the Spirit Stones produced in the Spirit Veins. It contained strong water vapor, and was the most precious treasure for cultivating the Water Method. Moreover, this bead had all kinds of mysteries. For example, if an ordinary person brought this bead into the desert and stayed there for ten years, he would not have to worry about dying of thirst. Moreover, when some cultivators went into Closed Door Meditation, they would often bring this Sea Bead into their cave, so that there would be water vapor to replenish their body, and the time of Closed Door Meditation would be extended for a long time.
The rarest thing was that resources like the Sea Bead had always been controlled by the Sea Clan led by the Dragon Palace of the Sea of the Azure Sea. It was rare to find a bead in other places. Even if the cultivators spent money, they might not be able to buy it. Now, the Dragon Lady took out so many of them, one for each of the dozens of Immortals who entered the Hall of Tao. This was really a big gift, full of sincerity.
"Hehe, I have always wanted a Sea Bead, and I once offered a few thousand Spiritual Essences, but to no avail. The Eldest Princess's generous gift, I, Muyang Ling, am very grateful. I have also prepared a small gift. It is just a three-thousand-year-old precious medicine, but it is not enough to show my respect. I hope the Eldest Princess will accept it! I am not here to choose a son-in-law, but to pay my respects to the Eldest Princess on behalf of my father, Muyang Ling. I will be satisfied with this gift! "
After receiving the Dragon Lady's Sea Bead, it was Zhu Xiu's turn to offer his gift. It was a young man sitting next to the Dragon Lady who spoke first. He took out a purple box and a Jade Slip, handed them to the maid of Tianyi Palace beside him, and walked toward the Dragon Lady. The cultivators heard that he took out a precious medicine, and they were shocked. This was a big gift.
The Dragon Lady behind the veil took the purple box and carefully looked at the Divine Thoughts stored in the Jade Slip. Then, she said softly, "Junior Brother Mu, I am very grateful. Please tell Immortal Zhang of Muyang Ling that Dragon Lady understands his kindness, and I am very grateful!"
Muyang Ling nodded slightly and said, "I understand!"
This was a good start. The cultivators all took out their gifts and handed them over.
"They are all so generous?"
Fang Xing, who was in the crowd, was stunned. He sighed at the Divine Prefecture. These inconspicuous little brats brought out amazing things one after another. Some used precious medicines as gifts, some used divine talismans, some used divine weapons, and there was even a sword embryo that came out of nowhere as a gift. It was just that it seemed a little inconspicuous.
The most amazing thing was the Flowing Clouds and Water Sword presented by the Great Sword Cultivator of Bitter Sea, Yun Du. He was also very arrogant, "Eldest Princess, my ancestor, the Venerable Immortal of Bitter Sea, has given me a decree. This Flowing Clouds and Water Sword Scripture is the foundation of the Bitter Sea Swordsmanship. I present it to you, Eldest Princess, and you will be the Mistress of the Bitter Sea Yun Family. The 800 sword cultivators of the Yun Family will be at your disposal!"
Although all the cultivators knew the true purpose of this son-in-law selection, there weren't many who spoke so bluntly.
Xie Linfuan, who had been silent all this time, also opened his mouth at this moment. He offered up a small fiery red pill furnace and said indifferently, "This furnace was forged by my master using the Geocentric True Flame for three hundred years. When used to refine pills, the quality of the pills can be increased by forty percent, and the success rate of the pills can be increased by thirty percent. However, compared to the words of my Talisman Artifact Dao Elder, it is nothing, it can only be considered as icing on the cake. Master's secret letter has already been handed over to the Grand Princess by Elder Hu Jun of the Tianyi Palace.
"Hehe, who wouldn't say something like that? My Wen Clan hates traitors the most. I'm willing to help the Grand Princess cut down the rebels!"
A skinny young man dressed in an ancient robe with a rather refined appearance sneered and interrupted Xie Linfuan's words. It was the youngest talisman genius in the Wen Clan, the youngest Great Talisman Master in the Northern Region, Wen Yiru.
For a time, the three strongest and wealthiest people in the competition for a son-in-law began to speak intensely.
"What are they talking about?" It feels like there's a meaning to their words!
"The Great Golden Crow listened for a while and carefully said to Fang Xing.
Fang Xing also widened his eyes, "I don't know either, but it sounds pretty scary …"
"Hehe, does Fellow Daoist Fang have any gifts to offer?"
At this moment, the fatty Dao Wufang, who had been standing to the side and seemed to be watching the show, suddenly asked with a smile.
His voice was neither light nor heavy, but it attracted everyone's attention. The somber atmosphere in the field eased up.
Countless pairs of eyes looked towards Fang Xing, including the eyes behind the veil. There was ridicule, ridicule, disdain, and fear, as if a fox had sneaked into a pack of wolves, or a wolf that didn't know what was going on in a pack of whispering foxes … In fact, that was indeed the case. The only one who really treated this as a simple search for a son-in-law was probably Fang Xing.
Blinking his eyes, Fang Xing, who originally wanted to fool around with something, couldn't pretend to be confused. While cursing in his heart, he slowly stood up and saw the maid beside him reach out her hand, wanting to take his gift, but she gently pushed it to the side. Then, his eyes swept across the deities from left to right, and from right to left, until a pair of strange eyes made people feel uncomfortable. Only then did he slowly walk out with a cold snort. As he walked, he said disdainfully, "A bunch of country bumpkins!"
"Hua …"
For a moment, the scene was in chaos as countless angry gazes shot towards him.
How dare he call us country bumpkins?
Where did this country bumpkin from Nan Zhan get the guts to look down on us?
Someone even sneered, "Looks like the gifts we prepared are not worthy of this Fellow Daoist. I wonder what you have prepared?"
"This young master's gift is so big that you're scared out of your wits!"
Fang Xing snorted disdainfully and actually walked to the front of Dragon Lady. There was only a veil separating them. Looking at Dragon Lady's resentful eyes behind the veil, Fang Xing chuckled and said to Dragon Lady through the veil, "In order to marry you this time, I've put in a lot of effort. I believe you'll be very touched after hearing it, and that is …"
At this point, all the cultivators subconsciously pricked up their ears to listen, but Fang Xing didn't continue. He sent a divine thought to the veil.
"What?"
Dragon Lady, who had been calm all this while, suddenly became excited, "Are you serious?"
