Uneasy Sun Peng, Selling Spirit Rice Wine (3/3)
"The Sun Clan?"
"The Sun Clan is doing quite well lately!"
"Yes, I heard that the patriarch Sun Rong, has already broken through to the Foundation Establishment Late Stage!"
As Xu Changqing approached the Sun Clan mansion, he inquired about the situation.
In the entire Dongqing City, there are five relatively well-developed small cultivation Lineage.
They are the Li Family, the Wang Family, the Han Family, the Sun Clan, and the Lei Family.
The Sun Clan was able to rise to prominence because Sun Rong had followed the administrator of Dongqing City when he was young, who was known as the Golden Core True Person Wang.
Later, several more people in the family awakened their Spirit Root.
Therefore, it gradually grew and expanded.
Especially in the last six months, it has made rapid progress.
First, Sun Rong, who was over fifty years old, broke through to the Foundation Establishment Late Stage.
Then, Sun Peng, who was only 25 years old, broke through to the Late Qi Refining.
In addition, Sun Yu, Sun Xiang, and others have also grown.
The Sun Clan is now thriving.
And, right today.
Sun Peng is about to marry Lei Yunna, the third daughter of Lei Jie, the current head of the Lei Family.
This woman is no ordinary person either; she has awakened Fire Spiritual Root.
He possesses considerable talent in Pill Formula.
Therefore, these two companies can be described as a powerful alliance.
Xu Changqing seemed to be deep in thought.
If I remember correctly, it's the only shop in the entire Rogue Cultivator Market where you can get Stamina Pill to the highest quality.
It seems that the first character on the plaque is [].
Judging from the appearance, the Lei Family made their fortune in the Rogue Cultivator Market cultivators by brewing medicine and refining elixirs.
Currently, the Sun Clan has a decent reputation.
Although there have been things that angered the Rogue Cultivator.
But it's a bit better than the other companies.
As for the address Sun Peng gave...
It is indeed the Sun Clan's current residence.
And indeed, the wedding banquet will be held today.
"Then let's go take a look." Xu Changqing no longer hesitated.
"Why haven't we heard anything yet?" Sun Peng, dressed in his wedding attire, paced anxiously back and forth.
The best man next to him chuckled, "The bride hasn't arrived yet."
Sun Peng glanced at the other person, then shook his head and said, "I'm not waiting for Yun Na."
Ah?
Upon hearing this, all the groomsmen were dumbfounded.
You, the groom, are waiting for someone other than the bride.
If this gets out, it will be a disaster.
The Lei Family will probably turn against us.
Sun Peng realized there was something wrong with his words, so he explained, "I'm waiting for a very important friend. He's already arrived in Dongqing City, but he hasn't shown up yet."
One of the best men wondered, "Could something have happened that caused the delay?"
Sun Peng immediately showed a worried expression and took out his Communication Talisman.
He tried several times, but was still unable to infuse his own spiritual power into it.
After all, he dared not urge them, much less offend this disciple of the Immortal Sect.
In the past six months, if it weren't for the thousand catties of Supreme-Grade Spirit Rice we bought...
I eat three meals a day in a box.
It will probably take more than a year to break through to the Late Qi Refining.
More importantly, what if future children also awaken their Spirit Root?
Perhaps through Xu Changqing, they can be sent to the Immortal Sect to cultivate.
The future is much better than staying in this small Rogue Cultivator Market.
"Coming! Coming!" Just then, a maidservant rushed in.
Sun Peng asked excitedly, "Daoist Cai has arrived?"
The maid looked bewildered upon hearing this, then replied, "It's the master who's back."
"Oh."
Sun Peng looked disappointed.
The maidservant then said, "Master asked me to tell you not to worry. Put on your wedding dress, prepare the betrothal gifts, and quickly lead the wedding procession to the Lei Family to pick up the bride!"
Sun Peng nodded.
She was already wearing her wedding dress.
The betrothal gifts have also been prepared.
Nowadays, all you need to do is bring a wedding procession to pick up the bride.
The overall style and customs of the wedding are actually quite similar to those of ordinary weddings.
The only difference is that most of the people attending this wedding banquet are cultivators.
Therefore, the wedding procession also includes various modes of transportation.
Spirit beasts cleared the way on the ground.
Flying Paper Crane overhead, accompanying the birds.
The entire wedding procession consisted of approximately three hundred people.
It looked like a grand and imposing procession.
It practically took up an entire street.
The larger the Lineage, the more they emphasize pomp and scale.
Ordinary Rogue Cultivator don't have so many requirements.
One second their eyes meet, the next they're in bed together.
They care more about feelings, or the person they spend their lives with.
Cultivation Lineage, on the other hand, place greater emphasis on profit.
To put it bluntly, even if the bride and groom don't like each other.
But when it comes to Lineage interests, they have to be together.
Even if it's just a marriage in name only.
An hour passed during this round trip.
Sun Peng and Lei Yunna began their wedding ceremony.
There's still no news about Xu Changqing.
This made Sun Peng somewhat distracted.
You invited them to your wedding banquet.
They've already arrived in Dongqing City, but they haven't shown up yet.
I have a feeling something's wrong.
I was constantly filled with anxiety.
After all, if something happens to a disciple of the Immortal Sect, the entire Sun Clan will be implicated.
Suddenly, the best man shouted, "First bow to Heaven and Earth!"
Sun Peng turned around and looked outside.
Just then, he saw a familiar face.
His clothes and mustache were exactly the same as when we first met.
Isn't this the person I'm worried about?
We've arrived! What a relief!
Xu Changqing stood in the crowd, smiled at Sun Peng, and that was his way of greeting him.
"Bowing to Heaven and Earth!" The best man, seeing the groom looking somewhat dazed, couldn't help but remind him.
Even the bride reached out and tugged at it.
"Ah, right, right, right." Sun Peng finally relaxed and grinned as he began to bow.
The whole process took another half hour.
The bride, Lei Yunna, was led to the bridal chamber to await the sleepless night ahead.
The groom then began to toast the guests at each table in turn.
Before long, led by the best man, they arrived at Xu Changqing's table.
Holding a wine glass in his hand, Sun Peng couldn't help but complain, "Daoist Cai, why didn't you greet me when you arrived?"
Xu Changqing asked in surprise, "I already spoke with your father, didn't he tell you?"
"Uh... I do think I did say something like not to worry," Sun Peng recalled carefully.
He mistakenly thought it meant not to worry about the wedding.
Unexpectedly, it turned out to be a hint that Xu Changqing had already arrived.
This has caused quite a stir.
Sun Peng had been worried for a long time.
They were even on edge on the way to pick up the bride.
They were terrified that their joyous day would turn into a day of mourning for the entire family.
"Alright, go ahead and do your thing." Xu Changqing waved his hand after finishing his drink.
Sun Peng nodded. "Alright, just tell the servant if you need anything."
Then, he and the best man walked toward another table.
Not long after, Sun Rong approached Xu Changqing.
The two left together and arrived at a garden behind the Sun Clan mansion.
It's very quiet here; no one will bother us at this time.
Sun Rong knew the habits of the person in front of him, so without any nonsense, he immediately took out five Mid-Grade Spirit Stones and handed them over.
However, what Xu Changqing took out was not Spirit Rice Grain, but Spirit Rice Wine.
No, to be precise, it's Fine-Quality Spirit Rice Wine.
Wine brewed from Quality-Grade Spirit Rice.
It's a step below the previous Supreme-Grade Spirit Rice Wine.
It was specially brewed for the Rogue Cultivator Market.
"Daoist Cai, what is this?" Sun Rong asked, puzzled.
Xu Changqing handed it over with a half-smile, "Try it first."
Sun Rong was stunned for a moment, then reached out and took it.
He first opened the stopper.
Instantly, a rich aroma of rice mixed with the fragrance of wine wafted out.
Even before tasting it, the mere smell made Sun Rong involuntarily swallow hard!
