The Wedding

"Bang~ Bang~ Bang bang bang~"

As the explosion rang out, the sky was instantly filled with a radiant glow, the various colors intertwining to create a breathtaking scene.

"Mommy, look! The fireworks are so beautiful!" a little girl exclaimed, jumping up and down with a big smile.

"Yinyin, slow down, be careful not to fall."

Under the glow of the sunset, a red glow slowly appeared in the distance. Soon, the red glow became clearer, revealing the wedding procession.

Gu Ye sat on a third-tier Blazing Flame Horse, a smile spreading across his face. He would nod around from time to time and occasionally grab a handful of Spirit Stone and scatter them in all directions, as if trying to infect everyone with his joy.

On the city wall, Shen Ge caught the ten Spirit Stone that fell from the sky. Without even looking at them, he stared blankly at the wedding procession above.

At this moment, he felt an overwhelming sense of envy. If Mu Wan were still here...

Overwhelmed by grief, Shen Ge couldn't suppress the tears welling up in her eyes.

"Mu Wan, I... I really... miss you so much."

In the air, the Fairy Miaoyin, dressed in a red phoenix robe, sighed softly.

"Brother Shen, today is my wedding day, cheer up, and don't cry."

The words that suddenly popped into his mind startled Shen Ge slightly. He then wiped away his tears and forced a smile.

"It's nothing, I was just a little sentimental. I'm fine, I'll be alright in a bit."

Shen Ge only set off after the wedding procession entered the Yaoguang Immortal Sect.

Upon reaching the entrance, he was about to go in when he encountered Zhang Lingyu, Zhang Lingyu pulled Shen Ge aside and whispered, "Brother Shen, what should we do? How much should we give as a gift?"

Shen Ge chuckled and said, "Brother Lingyu, just do what you can afford. After all, it's not about the price of the gift, but the sentiment. We're all friends, so the thought is what counts."

"The sentiment is there, and the gift is appreciated." Zhang Lingyu said with a wry smile, "After thinking it over, I still feel that giving something to the Foundation Establishment Realm is inappropriate. How about something from a Golden Core Stage cultivator instead? Brother Shen, what do you think?"

"Giving her a musical score she's never seen before would be more pleasing than giving her these things. Brother Lingyu, we're just Miaoyin's friends, not very familiar with Fellow Daoist Gu. When it comes to gifts, we should naturally choose according to Miaoyin's preferences."

Zhang Lingyu looked thoughtful and murmured, "There's no time for the sheet music now, but that thing should be pretty good."

Shen Ge patted Zhang Lingyu's shoulder and pulled him inside, saying as they walked, "Let's go, let's go. If we're slow, Miaoyin will probably scold us. I just got a lecture from her."

At the entrance, an elderly man was welcoming guests. As soon as he saw Shen Ge and Zhang Lingyu, he immediately stepped forward and greeted them, "Fellow Daoist Shen, Patriarch Zhang Household, please come in."

Shen Ge recognized the person, but didn't know their name.

At this moment, Zhang Lingyu spoke up, "Elder Wang, how have you been?"

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Shen Ge and Zhang Lingyu followed a disciple who was leading the way inside. After passing several pavilions, they arrived at a main hall, where no fewer than a thousand people had gathered. However, most of them were Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators, and there were fewer than fifty Golden Core cultivators.

"It seems that representatives from other sects have also come. Fairy Miaoyin's wedding is quite grand."

Shen Ge nodded without saying anything, but looked around.

Just then, a woman on the third floor waved to them. Shen Ge smiled slightly and pulled Zhang Lingyu over.

"Fellow Daoist Li, it's been a long time!"

"Fellow Daoist Shen, you've been in seclusion for over thirty years, so it's been a long time since we last met," Li Liu said with a smile.

"Fellow Daoist Li's strength has improved a lot again, you've reached the Middle Golden Core Stage." Zhang Lingyu greeted him.

Li Liu rolled her eyes at him and said, "Fellow Daoist Zhang, you're already at the Late Golden Core Stage Golden Core Peak. My little progress is nothing compared to that."

"Why did the conversation suddenly turn to cultivation? Let's not talk about such annoying things on a day like this," Shen Ge interrupted. "By the way, Fellow Daoist Li, are you free lately? I'd like to ask you to set up a formation."

"What kind of formation?" Li Liu asked, intrigued. "I have some materials on hand recently; I should be able to create one."

"A single array that absorbs Spiritual Qi, usable in combat, is essentially equivalent to Law Treasure."

"This kind of thing?" Li Liu pondered for a moment and then nodded. "It's possible, but you'll have to wait a while for me to study it. I estimate it will need to be modified from Spirit Gathering Formation to achieve this effect."

"Then I'll leave it to you. I'm not in a hurry, so I'll trouble Fellow Daoist Li to make sure it's done well."

Zhang Lingyu, standing to the side, chimed in, "Fellow Daoist Li, please help me out too. Our Zhang Household's protective formation seems to be getting old; could you help us repair it?"

"That's easy to do. As long as you give me enough Spirit Stone, I'll replace the whole set for you."

After the group chatted for a few minutes, a loud voice suddenly rang out from below.

"Newcomer arrived."

Everyone stopped chatting and looked towards the main entrance, where two bright red lines stood out.

Seeing the smiling Fairy Miaoyin, Shen Ge smiled back at her, but after only a few glances, he looked away and focused on the two women following behind her.

Shen Ge leaned close to Zhang Lingyu's ear and whispered, "Those two behind me look familiar, aren't they from Thousand Sounds Workshop?"

Zhang Lingyu nodded and replied, "That's right, they are the two newly promoted Golden Core experts of Thousand Sounds Workshop. If it weren't for them filling in, Miaoyin, with her personality, would never have left Thousand Sounds Workshop."

"It seems Fellow Daoist Gu has put in quite a bit of effort."

"How could he possibly win the heart of his beauty today if he wouldn't even put in this much effort?" Zhang Lingyu joked.

"Come on, gentlemen, let's go hang up the gifts first, then we'll just wait for the feast." Zhang Lingyu chuckled, "I've heard that this feast is very lavish, made entirely of third-tier Demon Beast meat, and also accompanied by various spirit medicine."

"The Yao Yaoguang Immortal Sect Yaoguang Immortal Sect truly lives up to its name; they're incredibly generous. If it were up to the standards of our Zhang Household, having even one plate of third-tier Demon Beast meat at a table would be considered a huge expense."

"Fellow Daoist Zhang, what kind of family Zhang Household? How can you compare to the Yaoguang Immortal Sect?" Li Liu said. "However, Brother Zhang, I would be quite impressed if you cooked it yourself, after all, your culinary skills are master-level."

The three arrived at the place where gifts were displayed. Shen Ge didn't have anything good on him, so he gave away a mid-grade Law Treasure Sword Bamboo Flying Sword, since he had plenty of those anyway.

As for Zhang Lingyu, he gave him a whole fish-dragon tendon, which he had taken from a third-tier Demon Beast during the previous Demon Beast tide.

Li Liu's item was also quite good; it was the tail feather of a third-tier Demon Beast. Although there were only two feathers, they were both beautiful and practical. In the future, they could be combined with other feathers to create a Law Treasure- level fan.
