After the Marriage Alliance
On the other side, inside the main hall.
After Yang Tianyou and Yang Lihe left, Yang Haoyu stood up and walked to Yang Tianyun's side, taking her hand affectionately.
"Tianyun, tell the Old Ancestor how you met Yang Lihe."
"We met in Yellowstone Market. I was wandering around the Rogue Cultivator Street when I happened to run into him selling Spirit Items, and we got to know each other after a while..."
Yang Tianyun appeared quite obedient in front of the Old Ancestor, recounting in detail how she and Yang Lihe met and fell in love.
So, you've known each other for a while now?
"Yes, it's been four years now. But what truly made my granddaughter accept him was something that happened afterward."
"Oh? What is it? Would you mind telling the Old Ancestor?"
"Sure."
Yang Tianyun nodded obediently and then began to explain.
According to Yang Tianyun, she Alchemy when she was short of a rare spirit medicine spirit medicine, so she asked Yang Lihe to keep an eye out for it.
At this time, Yang Lihe had already developed feelings for Yang Tianyun. Although the latter did not show any eagerness for the spirit medicine, Yang Lihe naturally attached great importance to the matter entrusted to him by his beloved.
Without a word, he put aside what he was doing and headed to a Perilous Land to search for the spirit medicine.
Persistence pays off; Yang Lihe successfully found this rare spirit medicine, but also encountered danger.
Having survived a near-death experience, Yang Lihe returned to Yellowstone Market with the spirit medicine and handed it over to Yang Tianyun.
What's even more commendable is that Yang Lihe never brought up the dangers he encountered; he simply gave his all in silence.
Having obtained the spirit medicine, Yang Tianyun naturally viewed Yang Lihe differently, assuming he had some special connections.
So for the next two years, whenever Yang Tianyun encountered a shortage of spirit medicine, she would ask Yang Lihe to keep an eye out for them. The latter never refused and repeatedly ventured into Perilous Land, successfully bringing back the spirit medicine each time.
As the two became more and more familiar with each other, Yang Tianyun sensed that something was wrong.
Yang Lihe didn't have any special connections as she imagined.
How did he find those rare spirit medicine?
With this question in mind, Yang Tianyun once again entrusted Yang Lihe to keep an eye out for a spirit medicine, and this time, she secretly followed behind him.
When Yang Tianyun saw Yang Lihe venture into the Perilous Land without hesitation, she understood everything.
At that moment, Yang Lihe's image was deeply imprinted in the heart of this woman who was gentle and kind on the outside but very stubborn on the inside.
Afterwards, Yang Lihe returned safely once again, and with their mutual affection growing stronger, their relationship progressed rapidly.
Later, in order to gain the attention of the Yang Household, Yang Lihe secretly entered the Perilous Land he frequented without Yang Tianyun's knowledge, and even entered the more dangerous core area.
There, Yang Lihe endured hardships and received the inheritance of a Gu Dao cultivator, thus successfully breaking through to the Foundation Establishment.
Among the inheritance he received were several precious Gu Insect. He refined one of them, the Autumn Leaf Locust, into his natal Gu, and left the other, the Holy Flame Spider, to Yang Tianyun.
The remaining two Hundred-Poison Golden Silkworm Gu, one male and one female, were given to the Yang Household as Betrothal Gifts. In addition, among the inheritances he received was a Foundation Establishment Cultivation Method called the "Great Wilderness Gu Scripture," which was the very book that Yang Lihe had sent out on the gift list.
The rest is history. Taking advantage of the Yang Household's joyous occasion, Yang Lihe presented generous gifts and went to propose marriage, hoping the Yang Household would agree to his marriage with Yang Tianyun.
"So that's how it is. He's a good boy. If there's no problem with his identity, the Old Ancestor will personally officiate your wedding." After understanding the situation of the two, Yang Haoyu sighed and patted Yang Tianyun's hand softly.
"Thank you, Old Ancestor!"
Yang Tianyun bowed gracefully, a warm smile on her fair face.
The two stood in the main hall waiting for news. After a short while, Yang Tianyou and Yang Lihe walked back in.
"Old Ancestor, I'm afraid I'll have to start calling you Fifth Brother-in-law now," Yang Tianyou laughed.
"Grandson pays respects to the Old Ancestor." Yang Lihe was very sensible and quickly knelt down, calling out "Old Ancestor" and performing a grand salute.
"Okay, okay, okay! From now on, we're all family."
Yang Haoyu smiled with relief and stepped forward to help Yang Lihe up.
Then, Yang Haoyu looked at him and said quite seriously, "Since you have passed the test of the Heart-Questioning Grand Formation, I keep my word. In half a month, the Lineage will hold your wedding with Tianyun."
"Thank you, Old Ancestor!"
This time, Yang Lihe and Yang Tianyun bowed at the same time.
The two exchanged a smile, their happiness evident in their expressions.
The marriage ceremony concluded successfully, and the Yang Household's wealth and benevolent family traditions convinced many Rogue Cultivators to settle in Purple Moon Town.
The other Lineage representatives who attended the banquet returned to their Lineage with their own thoughts. A few days later, three more Foundation Establishment Lineage deepened their cooperation with the Yang Household.
These past few days, Yang Tianjiu, the Commerce Hall, has been increasingly busy, finding almost no free time, but he enjoys it immensely and is unwilling to extricate himself from it.
What others don't know is that Yang Tianjiu's "《Myriad Treasures Golden Coin Scripture》" is a completely worldly way of life— the Wealth Dao.
The more Spirit Stones and money he earns, the more abundant his Wealth Qi becomes, allowing him to directly purchase Wealth Qi with his wealth.
Isn't that incredible?
But that's just how it is.
Wealth can influence the gods and even the heavens.
As long as he has enough Wealth Qi, Yang Tianjiu can rapidly improve his cultivation level in a very short time without any hidden dangers, because this is his "Dao".
According to Golden Tortoise, when Yang Tianjiu breaks through to the Golden Core and undergoes the Tribulation Lightning, if he has enough Wealth Qi, he can directly bribe the heavens to weaken the power of the Tribulation Lightning to the extreme.
Of course, doing that would require an enormous amount of Wealth Qi.
Yang Tianjiu naturally inquired about this incredible inheritance from Golden Tortoise, but the latter seemed to have suffered some kind of trauma. He was usually fine, but became confused whenever the matter was mentioned.
After this happened several times, Yang Tianjiu stopped asking questions.
While the Commerce Hall was bustling with activity, other departments within the Yang Household were also keeping busy.
Four Halls of Alchemy, Formation, Artifact, and Talisman has a certain number of tasks to complete each month. Failure to complete the task once will result in verbal reprimand from the Lineage, and a second failure will result in direct punishment, such as deduction of salary or reduction of Contribution Points.
If the targets are successfully met, or even exceeded, the Lineage will provide generous rewards.
Therefore, the clan members of these various branches are very enthusiastic and motivated in their work.
In addition to the Yang Household Members, the hundred worshippers in the Attendant Hall were also assigned to various positions.
Generally, a member of the Yang Household Members would lead one or two retainers to maintain control.
This also disrupts their small groups, preventing them from sticking together and hindering the growth of Different Surname's influence.
In general, after the marriage alliance with the Liu Household, the Yang Household's development accelerated, and the Liu Household also benefited from the growth of their powerful Lineage.
