Chapter 3217: Dragon Qingfeng Marries Wang Ruyi

Qinglian Peak, Qinglian Island.

Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan sat in a cyan stone pavilion, both smiling broadly.

"I didn't expect Qing Shan and the others to have such great fortune, obtaining a page of the Heavenly Void Jade Scroll," Wang Changsheng said with a smile.

After refining the Seventh-Rank Ice Flame, the Glazed Ice Flame should be able to advance to Seventh-Rank, leading to significantly higher artifact refining efficiency. His participation in refining the Trans-Spiritual Treasure Ship this time allowed Wang Changsheng to exchange knowledge with other Seventh-Rank artifact refiners, greatly enhancing his own refining skills.

The most valuable item, however, was the Ephemeral Yuan Fruit. The higher one's cultivation realm, the slower the progress. Some Integration cultivators spend tens of thousands of years advancing from the mid-Integration stage to the late-Integration stage, while others remain stuck in the mid-Integration stage for their entire lives; it varies from person to person. The Myriad Sea Immortal Scripture he cultivated had no bottlenecks, allowing for natural progression, but its drawbacks were also evident: he would need to endure more Grand Heavenly Tribulations and thus prepare more treasures for them.

Wang Ruyan nodded and said, "Indeed! With Qing Shan and Meng Bin entering the Integration stage, our burden has lightened considerably. Qing Shan brought back quite a lot this time: the shell of a Seventh-Rank mid-grade Azurewater Turtle, a Seventh-Rank Wood Demon Core, the Heavenly Void Jade Scroll, and some Styx water."

With this Styx water, Wang Changsheng's Dharma Idol could be condensed to nine-tenths completion, not far from perfection.

Wang Changsheng nodded, "Tell Ruxin and the others to continue searching for Styx water. If we find more, we won't need to go to Xuanguang Continent."

Wang Ruyan took out a pale blue Dharma Plate, cast a spell, and smiled.

"Come to Qinglian Peak! We are all here."

"Yes, Ancestor." Wang Ruyi's voice came from the Dharma Plate.

Not long after, Wang Ruyi and Long Qingfeng appeared before them.

"Young friend Long, I heard you've made up your mind?" Wang Ruyan asked genially.

"This junior has decided. If seniors don't mind, this junior is willing to stay on Qinglian Island and serve the Wang family," Long Qingfeng said sincerely.

Wang Changsheng nodded and said, "Very well, then you can stay on Qinglian Island. For caution's sake, do not reveal your true appearance; just operate within the mainland."

Long Qingfeng agreed. After a slight pause, he took out a white jade bottle and a cyan jade box, handing them to Wang Changsheng. He respectfully said, "Inside are a Heavenly Dragon Pill and a 30,000-year-old Blood Dragon Grass! This junior is very fond of Fairy Wang, please fulfill this junior's wish."

Wang Ruyi lowered her head, a blush rising to her cheeks. After years of spending time together, she and Long Qingfeng had developed mutual affection, but she hadn't expected him to propose marriage to Wang Changsheng.

"Heavenly Dragon Pill! This is a secret medicine of your Nine Dragon Palace," Wang Changsheng was a bit surprised.

The Heavenly Dragon Pill is a Seventh-Rank elixir that can further strengthen the bloodline power of Flood Dragons, suitable for Flood Dragons or cultivators with Flood Dragon bloodlines. To some extent, the Heavenly Dragon Pill is equivalent to the Ren Water Immortal Apricot Fruit. The difference is that the Heavenly Dragon Pill is only suitable for Flood Dragons or cultivators with Flood Dragon bloodlines, while the Ren Water Immortal Apricot Fruit is suitable for cultivators of ordinary aptitude.

Blood Dragon Grass is even more precious, being the main ingredient for refining the Seventh-Rank Blood Dragon Elixir, which can enhance vitality and strengthen physical power. However, cultivating Blood Dragon Grass is very difficult.

"You want to marry Ruyi? She is one of our most valued descendants, having learned artifact refining from me and swordsmanship from Qing Shan," Wang Changsheng said meaningfully.

"This junior knows that both these items are unique to the Nine Dragon Palace, especially the Heavenly Dragon Pill. The Ice Flood Dragon True Monarch consumed the Heavenly Dragon Pill to strengthen his Flood Dragon bloodline, increasing his chances of entering the Integration stage. This junior is sincere, and I ask Senior Wang to grant my wish." Long Qingfeng's face was filled with anticipation.

Wang Ruyi treated Long Qingfeng with unusual favor; outsiders could easily see their special relationship, and Long Qingfeng naturally noticed it too. Previously, due to his own status, he felt unworthy of Wang Ruyi. To put it nicely, Long Qingfeng was Long Tianyu's youngest son. To put it bluntly, he was a stray dog, constantly fleeing for his life. Wang Ruyi, on the other hand, was a highly esteemed descendant of the Qinglian Immortal Couple and a favored daughter of the Wang family. The disparity in their statuses was immense. Since Wang Ruyi didn't care about his status, Long Qingfeng naturally had to take this step.

"Ruyi, did you hear? Do you like young friend Long?" Wang Changsheng looked at Wang Ruyi and asked gently.

"I leave it entirely to Ancestor's discretion," Wang Ruyi's voice was as soft as a mosquito's hum.

"The Ximen, Li, and Long families have all approached me, hoping for their descendants to marry Ruyi. Even Senior Brother Zhao from Zhenhai Palace mentioned it," Wang Changsheng said meaningfully. He was not lying; Zhao Yunxiao and several other Integration cultivators had indeed discussed this with him, wanting their descendants, including some with Heavenly Spirit Roots, to become dual cultivation partners with Wang Ruyi, but Wang Changsheng had declined all proposals.

"This junior is truly sincere about Fairy Wang, and I ask Senior Wang to grant my wish. I will certainly not let her down," Long Qingfeng said sincerely.

"I agree to this marriage. However, let me tell you, many talented young cultivators wanted to become dual cultivation partners with Ruyi, yet she chose you. I hope you treat her well. If you ever betray her, even if the Nine Dragon Palace people don't kill you, I will." Wang Changsheng's tone was severe.

"Thank you, Senior Wang, for granting my wish. This junior will prove everything with my actions." Long Qingfeng expressed his gratitude, knelt down, and kowtowed three times to Wang Changsheng.

"Your status is special, so a grand wedding celebration is not advisable. I will have Moshan personally officiate your wedding, and we will also attend," Wang Ruyan suggested.

"I leave it entirely to seniors' discretion," Long Qingfeng agreed.

"Alright, you may go back now! We have something to discuss with Ruyi," Wang Changsheng dismissed Long Qingfeng.

"Ruyi, do you like him? It's not too late to refuse now," Wang Changsheng asked.

"This grandchild likes him. Thank you, Ancestor, for granting my wish," Wang Ruyi said seriously.

"I hope you won't regret it," Wang Changsheng said with a frown.

"I will love who I love for my entire life, and I trust my judgment of people," Wang Ruyi said earnestly.

"Very well! You can go back and rest now! I will have Moshan arrange the wedding." Wang Changsheng nodded and dismissed her.

"This child reminds me of Changyue and Haitang. I hope we don't repeat the mistakes of the lower realm," Wang Ruyan sighed softly, a hint of worry in her eyes.

In the lower realm, the Wang family took in Ye Lin, and for a long time, their development was smooth. However, they later suffered a devastating annihilation, incurring heavy losses.

Now that Long Qingfeng is marrying Wang Ruyi, the possibility of the Nine Dragon Palace or the Blood Whale Clan targeting the Wang family is low, but it cannot be entirely ruled out. This is also why the Wang family is currently strong and has Chen Yueying as a powerful backer. Otherwise, even if Wang Changsheng agreed to this marriage, he wouldn't dare let Long Qingfeng stay with the Wang family.

"It should be fine; a Void Refinement junior like him wouldn't anger a Mahayana cultivator. However, to be cautious, we'll have him operate within the mainland. With his help, perhaps our family can cultivate Sixth-Rank Flood Dragons much more easily," Wang Changsheng said in a deep voice. The Wang family has been established in Xuanyang Realm for over ten thousand years. It's already quite good if their Flood Dragons can be cultivated to Fifth-Rank; only Wang Qingxiao has advanced to the Void Refinement stage.

Since Long Qingfeng could even produce the Heavenly Dragon Pill and Blood Dragon Grass, he likely possesses some secret techniques or methods for Flood Dragon advancement. With his assistance, the Wang family should find it much easier to cultivate Sixth-Rank Flood Dragons.

Wang Ruyan nodded, "I hope so! But our strength is still a bit weak. After this matter is concluded, let's go into seclusion for cultivation!" Wang Changsheng had no objections. After a brief chat, he entered a secret chamber and took out the Nine Flame Gourd.

He sat on a meditation cushion, uncorked the gourd, and a blue light flew out. It was the Seventh-Rank Ice Flame, and the temperature in the room rapidly dropped.
