"Thank you, Your Majesty Utmost North Sage Emperor." Qin Yu expressed his thanks in a clear voice.
From this moment on, the first chosen candidate spot for the groom search was obtained by Qin Yu. Qin Yu displayed a smile on his face.
The Utmost North Sage Emperor Jiang Fan nodded with a smile.
"This Qin Yu is a grandmaster artifact craftsman. Behind him is the Craftsman God Chehou Yuan … Mn, if Li Er were to really marry him, it would be pretty good." Jiang Fan thought in his heart. He took a glance at Zhou Xian who stood beside Qin Yu. Jiang Fan frowned. "Although this Zhou Xian's strength is ordinary, behind him is the Thunder Punishment Exalted Celestial and … my wife!"
Jiang Fan took a glance at Chunyu Rou beside him.
Jiang Fan loved his wife very much. Thus, Chunyu Rou's opinion was also very important. This Chunyu Rou was Zhou Xian's little aunt. Zhou Xian's mother was Chunyu Rou's sister. The relationship between these two sisters was extremely good. Chunyu Rou was naturally very fond of her older sister's son.
"There are still two more chosen candidate spots. It all depends on whether this Zhou Xian would be chosen or not. Then … Li Er's husband shall be this Qin Yu. "Jiang Fan decided in his heart.
Qin Yu bowed to the various Godkings above. He also slightly smiled to Zhou Xian beside him. Only then did he return to his seat.
Faced with Qin Yu's smile, Zhou Xian's expression was extremely gloomy.
However, Zhou Xian's face was calm and his expression was extremely ugly. He gave a low snort and returned to his seat without saying a word.
"Everyone, the first chosen candidate has been decided. Everyone, go ahead and eat and drink. Do not be too restrained. Haha …" Jiang Fan laughed and said in a clear voice.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Everyone below said in unison. After that, the entire Utmost North Sage Emperor's Palace became lively. The thirteen Godkings were chatting with one another in a lively manner. As for the people below, they were also chatting, laughing and drinking.
As for Jiang Fan, he was extremely happy the entire time. With merely the first chosen candidate spot, he had obtained a first-rate Grandmist Spiritual Treasure. How could he not be happy?
He even started to look forward to it.
As for the second gift and the third gift, what would Qin Yu, this grandmaster artifact craftsman, give?
*****
Qin Yu and Zhou Xian both returned to their seats. After deciding on the first spot, everyone toasted each other and chatted happily.
"Brother Qin Yu, congratulations, congratulations." A noble middle-aged man walked over and congratulated Qin Yu.
Qin Yu only responded.
Qin Yu smiled bitterly in his heart, "This seems to be the forty-third stranger who has proposed a toast to me at this banquet." At this banquet, many people that Qin Yu didn't know at all came to curry favor with Qin Yu.
Qin Yu's identity as a Grandmaster Weapon Craftsman.
Qin Yu took out a first-rate Grandmist Spiritual Treasure.
Also … Qin Yu actually obtained Empyrean Flutterfeather's bestowment.
All of this caused Qin Yu to be the center of attention. Qin Yu also became the busiest person in the entire banquet. Not only did he have to drink and chat with people that he knew, he also had to deal with some strangers.
"Huff, I've finally reached the end." Qin Yu heaved a sigh of relief in his heart.
The number of people in the banquet was limited. Of course, there were only so many people that came to curry favor with Qin Yu. Qin Yu sat together with Duanmu Yu, Kuiyin Hou and them.
"Brother Qin Yu, you're truly in the limelight. Look at Zhou Xian, Zhou Xian has been sitting by himself the entire time." Duanmu Yu held his wine cup and said to Qin Yu in a low voice.
Qin Yu turned around to look.
Indeed, Zhou Xian was sitting on his seat and drinking alone. Just by looking at his expression, no one would bother to talk to him.
Kuiyin Hou asked. "Qin Yu, when we were in the Mountain Sea Palace, I asked you if you'd encountered the Flutterfeather Empyrean. Why did you say that you hadn't?"
Qin Yu smiled. "Did I say that?"
Kuiyin Hou was startled. Then, he recalled the scene from back then. Kuiyin Hou couldn't help but smile. "I remember now. Indeed, you didn't say anything. You merely smiled. However, you also didn't admit to it."
Duanmu Yu said. "Back then, when I saw Qin Yu smiling, I thought that Qin Yu was smiling bitterly. It turns out that Brother Qin Yu was deliberately concealing it. "
Qin Yu said embarrassedly. "That is, after all, a first-rate Grandmist Spiritual Treasure. I had originally thought that if I could win with the Jade Spring Gourd, I would temporarily conceal the Gauze Feather Blade. Haha, never did I expect that I would still have to take it out. "
Kuiyin Hou nodded in understanding. "That's right. That is, after all, a first-rate Grandmist Spiritual Treasure. If I were to obtain a first-rate Grandmist Spiritual Treasure. I would rather give up on the competition for the first chosen candidate spot than hand over a first-rate Grandmist Spiritual Treasure. "
"Brother Kuiyin is truly straightforward," Duanmu Yu said with a smile.
Qin Yu watched from the side with a smile on his face. After interacting with Duanmu Yu and the others for some time, Qin Yu had gained a certain level of understanding of Duanmu Yu, Kuiyin Hou and Shentu Fan.
"Big brother!" Hou Fei's voice sounded in Qin Yu's mind.
"Brother Duanmu, please excuse me." Qin Yu said to Duanmu Yu and the others. Then, he turned around and walked toward the side of the palace hall. At this moment, Hou Fei was waiting for Qin Yu.
Hou Fei was still wearing his golden gown.
"Big brother, congratulations on obtaining the first chosen candidate spot." Hou Fei's eyes were still as spirited as before. "Merely, big brother, have you prepared your second gift?"
"Second gift?"
Qin Yu was slightly startled.
The second gift was a test of one's attentiveness. It had to be novel and peculiar. Whoever's gift was the most ingenious and received the approval of all the Godkings would be the victor.
"As for the second gift, I only have an idea in mind. I have yet to actually do it," Qin Yu said.
"Are you confident?" Hou Fei's round and round eyes stared at Qin Yu.
Confident?
Qin Yu had a helpless smile on his face. Indeed, he did not have much confidence.
Novel, peculiar, ingenious …
"Faye, I dare guarantee that the gifts presented by the eighteen candidates will all be extremely special. It is possible that all eighteen of them will think that their gift is the most novel. Merely … as for whose gift is novel and peculiar, that will be determined by the thirteen Godkings. Before the result is out, no one will have absolute certainty. "
The groom search this time around. Of the three gifts, Qin Yu was the most worried about the second gift.
As for the third gift, it would be a test of how precious it was.
This was simple … if there was truly no other way, Qin Yu could just take out another first-rate Grandmist Spiritual Treasure. Merely, the second gift … would not be a test of how precious it was. Instead, it would be a test of how novel and peculiar it was. It would be a test of the eighteen candidates' attentiveness.
"What is your idea? Tell me about it so that I can give you some reference." Hou Fei urged.
"After the banquet ends, come to my Floating Cloud Mansion. I will then tell you and Xiao Hei about my idea. The banquet is about to end. "
Hearing what Qin Yu said, Hou Fei nodded.
When the banquet was about to end, the Utmost North Sage Emperor Jiang Fan finally stood up again. The group of people below had all quieted down. They raised their heads to look at Jiang Fan.
Jiang Fan said with a beaming smile. "Everyone, the first chosen candidate spot has been decided. Thus, what follows next is the competition for the second chosen candidate spot … I believe everyone knows the rules now. This time around, I will still give everyone ten years of time. In these ten years of time, everyone can go and prepare your gifts. At that time, the thirteen Godkings will judge whose gift is the most attentive! "
Hearing that, Qin Yu displayed a smile on his face.
Ten years?
"To me, ten years is equivalent to a hundred thousand years. In order to craft that gift of mine, I would need at the very most a thousand years." Qin Yu thought in his heart.
… …
The banquet soon ended. For the first gift, everyone was restricted to go to the Mountain Sea Palace. However, this time around … there was no restriction.
The eighteen candidates were able to go wherever they wanted to go.
However, there was one thing that was certain. After ten years, they must present a gift that could represent their 'attentiveness.'
*****
The Utmost Northern Region's Floating Snow City's Imperial City walls were simple and unadorned. When Qin Yu, Duanmu Yu, Zhou Xian and them walked out from the city gates, the majority of them began to walk toward their own residences. As for that Zhou Xian, he walked toward Qin Yu.
"What is this Zhou Xian planning to do?" Qin Yu stood still and turned around to look at Zhou Xian.
Zhou Xian still had a calm expression on his face. During the entire banquet, he had not said a single word. Zhou Xian walked over to Qin Yu. A flash of lightning flashed through his eyes. His gaze suddenly turned sharp as he stared at Qin Yu. "Qin Yu, listen carefully. Next time, I will definitely win. The second chosen candidate spot will definitely belong to me."
After he finished saying those words, Zhou Xian coldly turned around and walked away.
Qin Yu had been watching all of this with cold eyes the entire time. After hearing what Zhou Xian said, Qin Yu instead felt a bit more relaxed. That was because an opponent like Zhou Xian had revealed his true colors after a single defeat. This sort of opponent did not pose much of a threat to him.
Duanmu Yu also took a glance at Qin Yu. Then, he walked over to Qin Yu and said with a smile on his face. "Brother Qin Yu, you've likely already prepared the second gift, right?"
"Duanmu, could it be that you've not prepared it?" Qin Yu asked instead of answering.
Duanmu Yu laughed. "Haha, same, same … this time around, I've made two preparations. One gift is already in the process of being prepared. As for the other gift, I'm still working on it. If I am able to obtain that gift within ten years, I reckon that the second chosen candidate spot will be mine. "
"You're that confident?" Qin Yu was slightly surprised.
Duanmu Yu smiled confidently. "If this gift is not the first, then I will have nothing to say." In that case, I have nothing to say. "Duanmu Yu's tone was filled with absolute confidence.
Qin Yu was unable to refrain himself from feeling curious.
Exactly what sort of gift did this Duanmu Yu want to obtain? Judging from Duanmu Yu's tone, it seemed that he would be able to obtain the second chosen candidate spot should he be able to obtain the second chosen candidate spot.
"Brother Qin Yu, farewell. Let us determine the victor in the Utmost North Sage Emperor's Palace ten years from now," Duanmu Yu said with a smile.
Qin Yu nodded. "At that time, allow me to see exactly what sort of gift Brother Duanmu has prepared."
Fair competition!
Merely … regardless of whether it was Qin Yu or Duanmu Yu, neither of them had expected that the development of this matter would take a different path.
*****
Within a lush and verdant bamboo forest. Qin Yu, Hou Fei and Kuroh were sitting in a circle. They were discussing what sort of gift would be the most novel.
Of the three brothers, Qin Yu was wearing black from head to toe, Hou Fei was wearing gold from head to toe and Kuroh was wearing white from head to toe. For the three brothers to sit down like this, there was a sort of visual shock.
After Kuroh learned the 'Flowing Light Spear Path,' others would feel as if they were looking into Qin Yu's eyes.
Kuroh turned his gaze to Qin Yu. "Big brother, if you believe that monkey's idea is not novel enough, then what about yours? How exactly did you come up with the second gift? "
"Big brother, don't keep us in suspense. Tell us." Hou Fei who was standing to the side grew anxious.
Qin Yu smiled and then said. "I pondered for a long time. I came up with the idea that a gift requires one to be diligent. In that case, the rarer the materials used for the gift, the better. The rarer the materials are, the more diligent I am in obtaining them. "
Hou Fei and Kuroh nodded.
"The rarer the materials are, the greater the amount of materials needed! Both rare and abundant … yet I am completely able to obtain them. This is already sufficient to represent my diligence. Furthermore … I am going to combine these large amounts of precious materials to refine a treasure. This treasure will be my gift. "Qin Yu said with a smile on his face.
"What treasure?" Hou Fei and Kuroh both looked at Qin Yu.
They were all curious. To refine a treasure with a large amount of materials, what sort of treasure would it be?
Qin Yu grinned. "Merely the materials required for this item are over ten thousand."
Hou Fei said with a frown. "That many materials? Big brother, normally, a Heavenly Divine Artifact would only require several tens of materials. What are you going to refine with so many materials? "
"A place to stay. It is also the place where Li Er and I will hold our wedding!" Qin Yu smiled.
"A great hall?" Kuroh guessed. "A great hall similar to the Bewitching God Temple?"
Qin Yu smiled. "The Bewitching God Temple can only be considered a small matter. I used so many materials and some basic materials to refine a luxurious mansion. In the center of the mansion is a pool. And this pool … is the second Divine Realm."
"Second Divine Realm?" Hou Fei and Kuroh were stunned.
Qin Yu's eyes shone. "That's right. I am preparing to form all kinds of terrains and mountain ranges of the Divine Realm in my second Divine Realm. With my attainments in spatial formations, creating a second Divine Realm is not difficult. For a mansion, the decorations of the mansion would all be the second Divine Realm. What do you think? "
Hou Fei and Kuroh glanced at each other.
"That's a bit better than my idea. Only big brother is capable of doing such a thing." Hou Fei gasped in admiration.
To create a second Divine Realm, the mountain ranges, hills and cities would all be exactly the same. The only thing that might be different would be that there would be no Divine Spiritual Energy within it.
The second God World was nothing more than a pond in the mansion.
"Little Yu." Uncle Lan's voice sounded from afar.
Qin Yu turned around to look. Uncle Lan's figure appeared in the distance.
"Little Yu, what sort of barrier did you use? How come I am unable to detect your conversation?" Jiang Lan walked over and said in shock.
Qin Yu knew very well that this was merely a kind of usage of Qin Yu's Spatial Energy.
"Oh, let's not talk about this anymore. There's an important matter that I must inform you of." Jiang Lan's expression was solemn. "That Duanmu Yu and Zhou Xian have both left for the Divine Realm's Southern Sea Region. I reckon that … the two of them have both gone to search for a legendary peculiar treasure, the Mirage Spirit Mirror. Whoever obtains this treasure will most likely obtain the second chosen candidate spot. "
"Mirage Spirit Mirror?" Qin Yu was startled. He had never heard of this item before.
