Do You Know Her? A Bizarre Story
This is not only a great opportunity for low-level cultivators to rise to the top in one step, but also a good opportunity for major sects, such as other forces in the Nine Sects, or even forces in the Five Sects.
If someone within the sect could become dao companion with this Nascent Soul Perfection cultivator, even if it meant marrying into his family, it would still promote the relationship between the two factions.
Therefore, many people from major sects also come to White Jade City.
This was a good opportunity for Li Yunjing and Fang Hexuan to gather information about these major sects.
Fang Hexuan thought about it carefully and felt that Li Yunjing's words made sense.
"Yunjing, do as you say," Fang Hexuan said.
Having confirmed the matter, the two quickly finished their meal.
From the passing monks, the two learned that the marriage proposal ceremony was about to begin.
After leaving the restaurant, the two walked along the main street.
The marriage proposal ceremony was held at Mid-Mountain Eye. The two arrived at the end of the main street, where there was a floating platform that could move up and down.
Standing on the platform, it quickly moved upwards, and in no time, the two arrived at the mountainside.
There is a huge square halfway up the mountain, which is packed with people.
Li Yunjing and Fang Hexuan stood in a corner of the square, observing quietly.
Before long, a rainbow suddenly appeared in the sky, merging into one.
Several figures emerged from the rainbow light.
The leader was a fair-skinned, beardless man who looked to be no more than thirty years old.
Beside him was a woman who appeared to be about the same age as the man.
She possesses an elegant demeanor and a beautiful face.
Judging from her cultivation level, she is at the Nascent Soul Perfection, so she is probably the main character of this marriage contest.
Upon seeing this, Li Yunjing raised an eyebrow.
I originally thought that this female cultivator who had reached the Nascent Soul Perfection stage should be at least fifty, sixty, or even seventy or eighty years old.
I never expected her to look so young.
"Could it be that he is not very old, not even seven hundred years old?" Li Yunjing wondered to himself.
Although the higher a cultivator's cultivation level, the longer their lifespan, the slower their aging process will be.
However, this does not mean that one's appearance will be fixed or unchanging.
For example, Foundation Establishment cultivator's maximum lifespan is three hundred years, so we'll use three hundred years as the starting point.
If a cultivator Foundation Establishment at the age of eighty, their physical functions and appearance will revert to being no different from when they were young.
Furthermore, because Foundation Establishment cultivators have long lifespans, even if a cultivator lives to be one hundred or even one hundred and fifty years old,
Physical functions and other aspects will not decline.
These conditions only begin to decline slowly when one lives to around two hundred years old.
If you live to around 250 years old, you will gradually begin to show signs of aging.
And these signs of aging will continue to intensify until death.
The same applies to Nascent Soul Cultivator.
Of course, Nascent Soul Cultivator can live longer and experience aging later.
But seven hundred years old is roughly the time when signs of aging begin to appear.
Previously, Li Yunjing had heard that this female cultivator felt hopeless about breaking through, which is why she thought of finding a dao companion.
Generally speaking, cultivators who feel hopeless about breaking through are usually very old and frail.
As long as you're young, who wouldn't want to give it a shot?
Li Yunjing shook his head and looked at Fang Hexuan beside him.
Fang Hexuan stared intently at the female cultivator in the sky.
Upon seeing this, Li Yunjing immediately smiled:
"Grandmaster, Grandmaster."
After being called twice, Fang Hexuan finally came to his senses.
Li Yunjing immediately joked, "Master, you seem so engrossed in looking at her. Could it be that you've also been captivated by that fairy's beauty and are thinking of giving it a try?"
Fang Hexuan remained calm, opened his mouth, but did not utter a word.
When Li Yunjing saw his appearance, he immediately felt strange.
"Master, what's wrong with you?"
Fang Hexuan pulled Li Yunjing aside.
"Yunjing, I know her."
As he said this, Fang Hexuan secretly glanced at the female cultivator in the sky.
"You know him!?" Li Yunjing exclaimed immediately.
The surrounding cultivators cast strange glances at the two, but fortunately, no one paid much attention.
"Keep your voice down!" Fang Hexuan immediately whispered a reminder.
Li Yunjing nodded, looking surprised, and asked, "Master, do you know that fairy? How did you meet her?"
Li Yunjing was very curious.
The Tianyuan Dao Realm had long ago closed the teleportation arrays connecting it to other Dao Realm; this occurred more than six thousand years before Fang Hexuan was born.
This means that Fang Hexuan cannot travel to other Dao Realm through teleportation arrays, so how could he have contact with cultivators from other Dao Realm under such a closed environment?
Fang Hexuan hesitated for a moment before explaining the reason.
"This matter is rather strange; it happened three hundred years ago."
At that time, I was trapped in the Fallen True Secret Treasury. One day, I suddenly had an epiphany and began to cultivate using the treasures within the treasury.
Who knew that this cultivation would cause my Primordial Spirit to leave my body and wander to the heavens?
I don't know exactly what happened, but I do know that after my Primordial Spirit left my body, I went to a Heavenly Palace.
In that Heavenly Palace, I met her.
As we got to know each other better, I became familiar with her, but unfortunately, not long after, my Primordial Spirit returned and I left that Heavenly Palace.
Afterwards, I tried many methods to return to that Heavenly Palace, but unfortunately, I failed.
Hearing Fang Hexuan recount this bizarre story, Li Yunjing was also astonished.
If Fang Hexuan hadn't told the story himself, Li Yunjing would have believed it to be false.
"What was the name of that patriarch?" Li Yunjing asked again.
"Suyu, Lin Suyu," Fang Hexuan said.
It was at this moment that the marriage proposal ceremony began.
The head of the White Jade Palace began with some polite words, then got straight to the point, explaining the rules of this marriage contest.
Finally, the man said Lin Suyu's name.
Lin Suyu is her junior sister, so he will personally oversee this marriage selection ceremony.
Upon hearing this name, Li Yunjing couldn't help but look at Fang Hexuan.
This proves that what Fang Hexuan encountered was indeed true.
Otherwise, how could he have known Lin Suyu's name in advance? The two were in two different Dao Realm, so how could they have met?
"Master, if you ask me, you should go find her," Li Yunjing said in a low voice at this moment.
Fang Hexuan turned his head and glanced at Li Yunjing.
"Looking for her? What do you want with her?"
Li Yunjing chuckled, "Master, stop pretending. Do you think I can't see through you? You have feelings for Fairy Lin, don't you?"
Upon hearing this, Fang Hexuan's expression turned cold.
"What nonsense are you spouting, brat?"
Seeing this, Li Yunjing became even more certain of his guess.
Our ancestor must have had feelings for Fairy Lin.
"Alright, I won't say anything. You, Master, know the truth in your heart."
However, I must remind the Ancestral Master that if Fairy Lin finds someone she likes at this marriage contest, the Ancestral Master should not regret it.
After he finished speaking, Fang Hexuan's pupils contracted slightly.
Turning his head to look at Lin Suyu again, Fang Hexuan seemed lost in thought.
After a while, Fang Hexuan said in a deep voice, "Yunjing, come with me."
Fang Hexuan stepped directly into the air and walked towards Lin Suyu.
Li Yunjing was taken aback at first, then immediately followed Fang Hexuan.
Their actions immediately drew the attention of everyone present.
On the plaza, the cultivators stared in disbelief at the two who dared to walk on air.
In the air, the sect leader of the White Jade Palace frowned, his eyes wide with anger.
He hadn't expected that someone would break the rules so quickly after he had just explained them.
Just as he was about to question her sternly, his junior sister spoke up, "Senior brother, wait!"
