$ Chapter 261: This Is What a Real Man Should Do
After receiving the invitation to Qingchen's wedding, all the families in the islands and nearby islands within the patrol range of Ningxuan Sect took action.
Those families that had a long-standing friendship with Qingchen were naturally full of joy, actively preparing gifts, and selecting the most capable and intelligent children in the family to go;
And those families that had little contact with Qingchen, after weighing the pros and cons, did not dare to easily refuse his invitation, and still sent people to carry gifts to Yinling City.
For a time, the escape light outside Yinling City kept coming.
These escape lights were either strong or weak, fast or slow, but they all converged in the same direction.
The huge momentum attracted the people in the city to look up and watch, and the sound of exclamation came one after another.
Yinling City was very lively at this moment, and the number of cultivators in the city rose sharply.
In the past, there were only hundreds of cultivators in the city, but now not only in the inner city, but also in the outer city, cultivators wearing various robes can be seen everywhere.
They talked in a low voice or walked alone, looking at this new city.
At the gate of the inner city, Gao Yuliang and Deng Ziyue led a group of Ningxuan Sect disciples to busy welcoming guests from all sides.
Gao Yuliang looked solemn. Whenever a cultivator approached, he would step forward and salute: "Dear guests, I am sorry for not welcoming you from afar. I hope you will forgive me."
Deng Ziyue was on the side: "Please follow me, everyone, don't disrupt the order."
The two took each family to the cave in the inner city and settled them.
In a cave somewhere in the inner city of Yinling Island, Chang Zhichong, an elder of the Chang family of Xuanchang Island, said to someone:
"This island master Qing is now very famous. So many families came to congratulate him for his wedding. He is really amazing."
This person is Li Zexin from Diku Island. He smiled slightly and said:
"The old demon Xuehe is of course very powerful. Which family would not think twice after receiving his wedding invitation?
And it is said that he sent out invitations to everyone this time. He invited everyone with or without friendship, and he also made a special rule.
This old demon does not act according to common sense. You see the "Hundred Immortals Tower" in the square in front? Do you know what is going on inside?"
Chang Zhichong shook his head. He just came to Yinling Island today and he really didn't know the details.
Li Zexin did not keep us in suspense and told us the secret:
"This old demon is indeed different from ordinary people. His 'Hundred Immortals Tower' is the main wedding platform. The more generous the gift you give, the higher the place you sit."
Chang Zhichong was a little surprised when he heard this: "This...this old demon, isn't this a trick to ask us for spiritual stones? How can you hold a wedding like this."
The elder of the Li family on Diku Island--Li Zexin shook his head: "You know what, his reason is that the wedding is a waste of money and labor, and all the spiritual stones and treasures obtained will be used for the people of Yinling Island. You see, this is a very high-sounding statement."
Suddenly, a hearty laugh broke through the sky and shook the whole city!
Immediately afterwards, a figure flew through the air, stepped on the clouds and came, and hung steadily above Yinling City.
That person is the protagonist of today--Qingchen.
He said loudly: "Dear guests and friends, you have come from afar to celebrate my birthday. This is my honor, and I am very grateful!"
After speaking, his spiritual power fluctuated and his breath was unstable, obviously he had just completed a breakthrough.
He had a smile on his face.
But the mid-stage foundation building aura surging from his body was inadvertently revealed.
Chang Zhi looked up, his eyes widened instantly, and his eyes were full of disbelief and astonishment.
He cried out in shock, and it took him a long while to utter a few words: "Qing... Old Demon Qing, he is in the middle stage of foundation building!"
Li Zexin almost spilled the spiritual tea in his hand, and said:
"This... is he just breaking through? In the early stage of foundation building, he was able to kill many foundation building cultivators, including Lin Kaishan, the head of the Lin family of Sishe Island.
Now that this old demon has broken through to the middle stage of foundation building, doesn't it mean that he can compete with late foundation building cultivators? It's really... really incredible."
Xu Jiuling was standing leisurely in the hall.
However, when he saw Qingchen's aura in the middle stage of foundation building, the smile on his face froze instantly.
As if some unbelievable emotion flashed in his eyes, he slowly raised his hand and stroked his chin:
"Middle stage of foundation building... He actually broke through at this moment, and it's only been ten years. It seems that he has gained a lot from the trip to the Black Wood Island."
Compared to Xu Jiuling's restraint, Gu Jianchun's reaction seemed direct and strong.
His expression, which was always expressionless, showed a rare surprise:
"Junior Brother Qing, you are really not an ordinary person. It is a bit unfair to be an inspector and a Xuan-level island master. With this talent, you should be a true disciple."
For a moment, the original noise in the inner city stopped abruptly.
All the cultivators stopped their actions and cast their eyes on Qingchen in the sky.
The expressions on their faces were different, some were shocked, some were awed, some were envious, and some were afraid.
Gao Yuliang and Deng Ziyue were stunned at first, and then their faces were filled with ecstasy.
Gao Yuliang shouted excitedly: "Congratulations to the master for breaking through the realm, congratulations to the master for the great success of the Xuan Gong! This is a great joy for our Yinling Island! Double happiness!"
Deng Ziyue also bowed his hands to the sky and saluted: "The master's talent is really rare, congratulations to the master! We are willing to follow the master until death!"
After hearing what Gao Yuliang and Deng Ziyue said, the cultivators seemed to react.
“Congratulations to Island Master Qing. Your cultivation has reached a new level. Your life span has greatly increased. Your path to becoming a golden elixir is just around the corner!”
A monk in gorgeous robes spoke first, and everyone echoed his words.
"Master Yin Ling, you are a role model for us. Your cultivation is improving, which is a blessing for us! Double happiness, I wish you a happy wedding and further improvement in cultivation!"
Another family monk, holding a jade slip, bowed and saluted, speaking sincerely.
In fact, no one dared to call Qingchen the old devil of the blood river to his face.
Qingchen called himself Master Yin Ling. If anyone dared to mention the word "blood river" in front of him, it is estimated that grass has grown on his grave.
For a while, the sounds of flattery and congratulations in the inner city came one after another.
Qingchen was suspended above the Yin Ling City. He looked at the awed and shocked faces below, and an indescribable feeling surged in his heart.
Once upon a time, he was just a small monk in the second level of Qi Refining.
Facing the deacon in the late stage of Qi Refining, his heart was full of fear, fearing that he would be killed if he was not careful.
In his eyes, the foundation-building cultivators were like towering mountains, untouchable beings.
At that time, he could only hide in the dark underground, practicing silently, hoping to stand out one day.
Now, he is a strong man in the middle stage of foundation-building, the island master of Yinling Island, and the inspector of Ningxuan Sect.
Qingchen took a deep breath and said nothing.
He deliberately released his breath at this time, just to enjoy the feeling of being worshipped by hundreds of immortals and admired by thousands of people.
If you don't return to your hometown, it's like walking in brocade clothes at night.
"A real man should be like this!"
Moreover, if the cultivation level breaks through, the gifts given by these families will definitely not be low.
Otherwise, it means that they don't give face to Master Yinling.
That's like an old man drinking arsenic - looking for death.
