"Grandfather knows that you are determined to pursue the Tao, but our Liu family is very weak and cannot get you a foundation-building pill. If you marry into the Han family, you may be able to build a foundation."
He also didn't want to marry his granddaughter to an uneducated playboy. He sent people to investigate Han Benzhi and Han Benyong, and found no bad habits. That's why he allowed Liu Weiwei to have more contact with Han Benzhi. Han Changming's family are all foundation-building cultivators, so it is not difficult to help Liu Weiwei advance to the foundation-building stage.
Liu Guangyang even had a bold guess that the Han family could refine foundation-building pills, otherwise how could there be more and more foundation-building cultivators in the Han family? Without large-scale events, there were few foundation-building pill auctions. Wu Yue Ling Shui could also assist cultivators in reaching the foundation-building stage, but the effect was too poor.
Liu Guangyang had taken the Wu Yue Spirit Water in his early years, but failed to advance to the Foundation Establishment Stage. Later, he sold all his belongings and bought a Foundation Establishment Pill at an auction, and was able to successfully advance to the Foundation Establishment Stage.
"My grandson understands, but I don't want to use marriage as a springboard."
Liu Weiwei also understood this truth, but she was unwilling to give up. She wanted to rely on her own efforts to advance to the foundation-building stage, and then find an ideal husband.
Han Benzhi has mediocre personal abilities, but he comes from a relatively good family. He is not the ideal husband in Liu Weiwei's mind.
Liu Guangyang's face turned serious, and he reprimanded him unceremoniously: "I know you are ambitious, but you have to understand that reality and ideals are two different things. I also wanted to advance to the Jindan stage and lead the family to glory! But the reality is! I was seriously injured in a fight with others, and I haven't recovered yet."
Every cultivator has dreamed of becoming a great cultivator, but a large number of cultivators are stuck at the stage of forming the golden core. When Liu Guangyang was young, he also dreamed of becoming a great cultivator and leading his family to glory. However, reality slapped him hard in the face, and he almost died at the hands of the enemy during a fight.
"Han Changming is quite powerful, and he has a high chance of advancing to the Jindan stage. If you don't marry Han Benzhi, I can't protect you for too long. Other forces are putting pressure on our family, and we can't hold on for long."
Liu Guangyang said somewhat helplessly that the Liu family mainly sold birch wood and low-level spiritual grains in exchange for resources for cultivating immortals. Because of Liu Weiwei, other forces began to suppress the Liu family, trying to force Liu Guangyang to bow his head, and the Liu family's income became less and less.
Liu Weiwei sighed lightly and said seriously, "Grandson understands. He won't lie to me. He said he would come to propose marriage, so he will come to propose marriage."
At this moment, a middle-aged man with a resolute face walked in quickly and said respectfully:
"Dad, Senior Han Changming is here, and his two wives and Han Benzhi are here too."
Liu Guangyang's eyes lit up, and he quickly said, "Please come in, no, I will go out to greet you personally."
The Han family is more than ten times stronger than the Liu family. If Liu Guangyang lowers his profile, Liu Weiwei's life will be better if she marries into the Han family.
Outside the Birch Island, Han Changming and a dozen other cultivators stood on the Flying Spirit Shuttle. Han Changming's expression was indifferent, while Han Benzhi's face flushed red and he was very excited.
Ye Xin and Ye Xue's faces were calm. To be honest, if Han Benzhi didn't like Liu Weiwei very much, Ye Xin would not look down on Liu Weiwei. Liu Weiwei was extremely beautiful and had many suitors. Before she met Han Benzhi, she had frequent contacts with many male monks. Ye Xin didn't like this daughter-in-law. Who made Han Benzhi like Liu Weiwei!
Han Changming stood in the front, his eyes flashing with golden light. With the help of his golden eyes, he could clearly see the situation on Birch Island.
Two men and one woman were flying towards them at a relatively fast speed.
Han Changming's eyes returned to normal, and Liu Guangyang and the other two flew out from Birch Island and appeared in front of Han Changming and others.
Han Changming became famous at a young age. Liu Guangyang collected portraits of Han Changming and recognized Han Changming at a glance.
He felt the huge spiritual pressure emanating from Han Changming, his mouth opened wide, he took a breath of cold air, his eyes rolled, he quickly bowed to Han Changming, and said carefully: "Junior Liu Guangyang, greetings to Senior Han."
The Han family cultivator was fine, but Liu Weiwei was stunned.
The person who can be called a senior by Liu Guangyang is naturally a Jindan cultivator.
Han Changming, the future father-in-law, is in the Jindan stage? Han Benzhi didn't tell him anything. She originally looked down on Han Benzhi, but now she felt that she was marrying up.
Liu Weiwei and the other person also hurriedly bowed. The Han and Liu families had not yet formed a marriage alliance, and the world of immortal cultivation had a strict hierarchy with respect for the inferior and they did not dare to act rashly.
"Weiwei, I'm here. I will definitely do what I promised you."
Han Benzhi said with a smile, his eyes fixed on Liu Weiwei.
Liu Weiwei smiled and nodded without saying anything.
Han Changming sighed in his heart. Han Benzhi was too useless. Wasn't this clearly telling the Liu family that they were here to propose marriage
He looked at Liu Weiwei carefully with an expression of approval. No wonder Han Benzhi was so fascinated by Liu Weiwei. Liu Weiwei was indeed quite pretty. Han Changming had traveled far and wide and had seen many beauties. Liu Weiwei could only be considered above average. However, in a place like the Red Algae Sea, Liu Weiwei should be able to make it into the top ten.
Ye Xin frowned slightly. It was not a good thing to have a daughter-in-law who was too beautiful.
"My dear Liu, I heard that the Baihua Spiritual Tea from your Baihua Island has a unique flavor, so I came here specially to taste it."
Han Changming said with a smile that the Liu family is good at planting birch trees. The birch trees are hard in texture, resistant to water and high temperatures. Birch wood that is more than ten years old can be used to refine shield magic weapons, and birch wood that is a hundred years old can be used to refine second-level defense magic weapons. However, birch trees mature relatively late and have relatively high requirements for the environment.
"Senior Han, your presence here is a great honor to our Liu family. Senior Han, please come in."
Liu Guangyang made a gesture of invitation, his face full of flattery.
Han Changming's advancement to the Jindan stage was something Liu Guangyang had not expected. Before this, Liu Weiwei's marriage to the Han family could be considered a good match, but now, the Liu family was marrying up.
There are only a handful of Jindan-stage cultivators in the Red Algae Sea. With a father-in-law in the Jindan stage, Liu Weiwei will definitely be able to advance to the Foundation Establishment stage, and the Liu family will also benefit.
Not long after, they appeared in a bright and spacious meeting room, where the tables and chairs were made of birch wood.
Han Changming, Ye Xin and Ye Xue sat on the main seats, while Liu Guangyang and the other two stood aside with respectful expressions.
As soon as they entered the meeting room, two members of the Liu family came in with cups of fragrant tea. After putting down the teacups, the Liu family members bowed and left.
"Senior Han, this is the spiritual tea that our Liu family has just made. Please try it."
Liu Guangyang said cautiously, looking nervous.
Han Changming picked up the teacup and took a sip of the spiritual tea. The tea had a hint of sweetness. Not long after, a cool feeling emerged in his mouth, rushing straight to his forehead and then spreading throughout his body, making him feel refreshed and all his fatigue disappeared.
"Good tea, but it's not as good as our Han family's Qinghu tea. If you have time someday, you can go to our Han family to have a taste."
Han Changming's tone was gentle and he looked approachable.
Liu Guangyang was secretly delighted and quickly replied, "Yes, Senior Han, I will definitely visit you when I have time."
Han Changming looked at Liu Weiwei and said in a friendly manner, "You must be Liu Weiwei! Benzhi has mentioned you to me many times, saying that you have a firm heart for the Tao and good character."
Liu Weiwei quickly stepped forward and said respectfully, "Senior Han, thank you for your compliment. I am ashamed to accept it."
"My dear Liu, my son has admired your grandson for a long time. I think they are a good match. Let's let them become a couple. What do you think?"
Han Changming looked at Liu Guangyang and spoke with a pleasant expression.
Liu Guangyang looked excited and said quickly: "Weiwei also likes Fellow Daoist Han very much. I have no objection."
To be honest, Liu Weiwei was only in the Qi Refining stage. Even if Han Changming asked Liu Weiwei to be Han Benzhi's concubine, Liu Guangyang would not dare to refuse.
Han Changming looked at Liu Weiwei. He didn't want to force her. If Liu Weiwei didn't want to, he wouldn't force her. A forced melon is not sweet.
Liu Weiwei's fair cheeks flushed as she said, "Marriage is all up to grandfather."
Han Changming nodded in satisfaction and said, "Okay, it's settled. The wedding will be held one year from now, together with Han's Jindan Ceremony."
Ye Xin stood up and walked to Liu Guangyang. She took out a blue wooden box, handed it to Liu Guangyang, and said with a smile: "Fellow Daoist Liu, this foundation-building pill is a betrothal gift."
A foundation-building pill as a betrothal gift? Liu Guangyang took a deep breath, pleasantly surprised.
This betrothal gift is too expensive. The market price of a Foundation Establishment Pill is more than 40,000 spirit stones. The annual income of the Liu family is only more than 10,000 spirit stones, and this has not yet deducted the expenses. The Liu family's four years of income is just enough to afford one Foundation Establishment Pill, and they may not even be able to buy it.
Ye Xin took out a green storage bag, handed it to Liu Guangyang, and said, "These are some jewelry and vestments we bought for Liu Xiaoyou. I don't know if she likes them."
Liu Guangyang took the storage bag, scanned it with his spiritual sense, and could not help but take a breath of cold air again. Two sets of robes, five second-level magic weapons, these things together are worth tens of thousands of spirit stones. Liu Weiwei's annual salary is only a hundred spirit stones, and this is specially approved by Liu Guangyang.
"My dear relatives, you are joking. Gifts are not expensive, but the thought is important. You are thoughtful and have come all the way here. You must have worked hard. Why don't you stay at our Birch Island so that we can show our hospitality."
Liu Guangyang said enthusiastically that it was reasonable for him to let Han Changming and others stay for one night.
"Okay, we'll bother you then."
Han Changming nodded politely and agreed.
He looked at Liu Weiwei and said with a pleasant face, "My dear Liu, you have already cultivated to the ninth level of Qi Refining. I hope that before the wedding, you can advance to the Foundation Establishment stage."
Liu Weiwei has already reached the ninth level of Qi Refining. When Han Benzhi was the same age as Liu Weiwei, he was only at the eighth level of Qi Refining. Han Changming has already advanced to the Core Forming Stage, but his daughter-in-law has remained at the Qi Refining Stage, and he feels ashamed.
What he took out as a betrothal gift was an ordinary foundation-building pill, so Liu Weiwei had a great chance of advancing to the foundation-building stage.
"Yes, I will work hard to advance to the foundation-building stage."
Liu Weiwei agreed immediately. Han Changming's words were very clear. The Foundation Establishment Pill was for her to reach the Foundation Establishment stage.
