After the Elder Council set the dates for the Foundation Establishment celebration and Liu Changxu's wedding, the Liu Household members got busy.
With several Foundation Establishment celebrations already under their belts, the Liu Household members knew the road well, and all the preparations proceeded in an orderly fashion.
To showcase the lineage's strength, however, the Liu Household planned to raise the scale of this celebration another notch.
To that end, Liu Changxu made several trips to Purple Forest Market to purchase spirit treasures.
In the blink of an eye, a month had passed!
On the morning of July 7, 3175 of the Great Tang Calendar, ethereal music drifted over Peach Blossom Mountain, ceremonial instruments sounded in unison, red banners unfurled, and colorful flags fluttered!
The Liu Household's Foundation Establishment celebration began as scheduled.
