The Letter Left by the Nine Splendor Sword Sect
Zhang Hongzhan stared intently at Ling Han.
This showed that he wasn't joking.
He slowly opened his mouth and said, "You are the Young Palace Master of the Ice Cold Palace."
High status.
They received the highest level of treatment.
Abundant resources.
Come to my Zhang Family, you won't find these things.
Resources are supplied in fixed quantities each month; you'll need to work hard to get more.
I really can't understand why you wanted to marry Xuanbing.
Come to my Zhang Family and suffer.
You like him? Don't be ridiculous, you've only known him for a day.
So I want to know why.
If Ling Han were to marry Zhang Xuanbing, it would undoubtedly be a tremendous boon for the Zhang Family.
Who wouldn't want a top-tier Heavenly Talent?
But he is currently unaware of Ling Han's purpose.
Besides, even if he agreed, would the Ice Cold Palace agree?
At this time, the gap between the Zhang Family and the Ice Cold Palace was quite significant.
Ling Han simply smiled upon hearing Zhang Hongzhan's words.
Instead of giving a direct reply, it said:
"Don't worry, Master Zhang, I have no ill intentions towards the Zhang Family."
There's no need for malice.
He was simply interested in Zhang Xuanbing.
Although he doesn't like me now, but... who can predict the future?
Master Zhang, esteemed elders.
Ling Han took her leave.
Until next time.
He then walked out of the hall.
Aunt Yue and Xiao Rou nodded to the Zhang Family members, then quickly followed and left the Zhang Family, flying towards the Ice Cold Palace.
No sooner had they left than Zhang Xuanchen brought Luo Lingshuang into the Main Hall.
Looking at the silent Zhang Hongzhan and the elders, he couldn't help but say:
"Hey, what are you all thinking about?"
So quiet.
Could it be that one of the three fairies from the Ice Cold Palace has taken a liking to one of you?
These words immediately broke the silence in the hall.
Zhang Hongzhan laughed and scolded:
"You brat, you've been the Clan Leader for years, and you're still so frivolous."
Zhang Guangli, standing to the side, also spoke up:
"That's right, how dare he joke around with us old guys. If Ling Shuang weren't here, she would have given him a punch."
Let this kid know that his grandpa will always be his grandpa!
"Hahaha."
The atmosphere inside the hall instantly improved considerably.
Zhang Hongzhan stood up from the main seat, looked at Zhang Xuanchen and said, "Xuan Chen."
Come on up. Now that you're married, it's time to get busy.
"Let Dad help you figure out what's going on?"
At this time, it wasn't a meeting; it was just casual conversation, and the people didn't address each other by their official titles.
Just then, Luo Lingshuang bowed to Zhang Hongzhan, Zhang Guangyao, Zhang Guanghan, and the others:
"Ling Shuang greets Father, all the grandfathers, great-aunt, and three uncles."
Seeing this, Zhang Guanghan quickly helped him up and said with a smile:
"Ling Shuang, there's no need for such formalities. My Zhang Family doesn't have so many unnecessary formalities."
"It's not easy."
You and Xuan Chen have known each other for Eight Years, and finally you've come together.
I hope you two will be of one mind as husband and wife in the future.
Of course, we still need to work harder to contribute to the Zhang Family's prosperity.
At this point, everyone in the hall broke into maternal smiles.
Although it is difficult for high-level cultivators to conceive, if they do become pregnant...
The child has a very high chance of possessing Spirit Root.
Zhang Xuanchen possesses Dual Spirit Root and a special physique.
Luo Lingshuang, on the other hand, possesses Heavenly Spirit Root.
How could that child be lacking in talent?
Zhang Tian is a perfect example.
Hahaha.
What they need to do is work hard, work harder, and work even harder to create the best training environment for the next generation.
Earn enough resources to nurture the next generation.
Luo Lingshuang was genuinely a little embarrassed by what she had just said so bluntly.
But she still nodded, blushing.
Zhang Xuanchen patted his chest and assured him:
"Don't worry, Seventh Aunt-Grandmother, you don't need to worry about that."
We will definitely work harder.
He then turned his gaze to Zhang Hongzhan.
Father, I heard your conversation in the hall just now.
Now that the number of Golden Elixir cultivators from my Zhang Family has greatly increased, purchasing elixirs from the Xuandan Sect is imperative.
As for the Ice Cold Palace...
Zhang Xuanchen paused for a moment and then spoke again, "Don't worry about it."
Ling Han had no ill intentions towards her Brother.
As she said, no one can be certain about the future.
Let nature take its course.
I believe Ling Han knows what to do and will certainly not tell the higher-ups of the Ice Cold Palace what she said today.
Zhang Hongzhan nodded, "Indeed."
If the Zhang Family didn't have a high-level Ice Attribute Cultivation Method, we might have actually sent Xuanbing to the Ice Cold Palace.
But now, it's clearly unnecessary.
At this point, Zhang Hongzhan seemed to remember something and took out a letter from his Storage Ring. "Xuan Chen, this is a letter that Qingming True Lord gave me before he left."
Let me give it to you.
Upon hearing that it was from Qingming True Lord, Zhang Xuanchen frowned slightly, took the envelope, and scanned it with his Divine Sense, saying:
"The letter said that if the Zhang Family was interested, they could send Xuan Ce to the Nine Splendor Sword Sect."
The sect may make an exception and accept him, and nurture him with care.
"It seems that Qingming True Lord has discovered that Xuan Ce possesses the Star Radiance Sword Body."
They didn't forcibly take her away, probably because they didn't want to become enemies with Shuang'er.
Or perhaps they feared the power behind Shuang'er.
It was also a test.
"Testing whether my Zhang Family has discovered Xuan Ce's special physique."
The facts are just as Zhang Xuanchen said.
The reason Hua Shisan left the letter instead of forcibly taking it away was to test the waters.
In this world, only a very small percentage of people with special constitutions awaken on their own as their Spirit Root manifest.
Most special constitutions require the assistance of certain heavenly materials and earthly treasures to awaken.
An unawakened physique can only be detected by Spirit-Testing Pillar, which is of a higher level than Spirit Testing Stone.
The Spirit-Testing Pillar is extremely rare, and only the Nine Splendor Sword Sect possesses it in the entire Heavenly Dragon Sea Domain.
It is very difficult for a Golden Core cultivator to discover an unawakened special physique; it requires the Divine Sense to enter the body and carefully explore.
Unlike the Nascent Soul, which can see through appearances to the essence, the Divine Sense is swept away.
Discovering it wasn't difficult.
If Zhang Xuance is sent to the Nine Splendor Sword Sect this time, it means that the Zhang Family has not discovered that he possesses a special physique.
It's highly unlikely that it's a force supported by the power behind Luo Lingshuang.
If they didn't send it, it means they've discovered it, and there might even be a powerful figure hiding in the Zhang Family.
Of course, all of this is just Hua Shisan's speculation.
This probe merely makes the guesses lean more towards one possibility.
Zhang Xuanchen was unaware of all this; he only knew that Qingming True Lord was testing him.
Zhang Hongzhan asked, "Then what should we do?"
"How about it?" Zhang Xuanchen burned the envelope directly. "Of course, I'm not sending it."
Why should I, the Heavenly Talent of the Zhang Family, simply hand over my position?
Don't worry.
Since they didn't choose to forcibly take us away, they won't attack us if we don't offer to help.
"Father, elders, I am about to break through to the Golden Core stage."
"Tomorrow, I will go with Shuang'er to that space in the Dark Night Forest to break through."
"This line of work takes at least three years, and sometimes as long as five."
"After all, I still want to go to the Heavenly Craft Pavilion to find the Natal Sword Pellet, the pair of Roc Wings, the Great Sage's weapon, and the Third-tier Flying Boat."
The Third-tier Alchemy Furnace and other materials need to be refined, which will take a considerable amount of time.
"If all goes well, this trip might yield the Yaoyang Sword Leaf Grass."
Since the Nine Splendor Sword Sect's letter stated that they could carefully cultivate Xuan Ce, perhaps there is someone within the sect.
We can exchange it for Spirit Stone or heavenly materials and earthly treasures.
