Reactions from all sides, Little Fairy Doctor taking a concubine

The news that Shen Wen was going to publicly refine the Break-Sect Pill and simultaneously take a concubine was like a massive stone thrown into a calm lake, stirring up monstrous waves in Jia Ma Holy City.

The news grew wings and flew into the halls of every major power... Nalan Family.

Nalan Jie held the gilded invitation, his fingers slightly tightening.

He looked at Nalan Su beside him and said in a deep voice, "Break-Sect Pill... does this Mr. Shen really have such confidence?

He is also taking a concubine, and at this critical juncture, he is causing such a huge stir."

Nalan Su's face showed worry: "Father, I heard that this Mr. Shen's strength is unfathomable, and even Old Jia treats him with great respect."

Nalan Jie waved his hand, interrupting: "Overthinking is useless. We must attend for a figure of this caliber. Prepare generous gifts and maintain a low profile.

If we can form a connection, it will be a monumental Opportunity for the Nalan Family."

"Furthermore, regarding the Blazing Poison on my body, I wonder if I could ask him to clear it."

Nalan Jie thought of the concubine ceremony, which reminded him of his granddaughter breaking off the engagement.

He sighed. In the end, he had failed his old friend... Mu Family.

Mu Chen suddenly stood up from his seat, a sharp glint flashing in his eyes: "Break-Sect Pill!

He is actually willing to publicly refine it!

This is a Medicinal Pill that can create a Dou Zong!"

An Elder below hesitated: "Patriarch, is the news reliable? Such a young Dou Zong and Seventh-Rank Alchemist is unheard of.

Could it be that..."

Mu Chen stated resolutely: "Better believe it than not!

If that old fellow Jia Xingtian believes it, what reason do we have to doubt?

Prepare the gifts, I will go personally!"

...Alchemist Guild.

President Fa Ma stroked the invitation, his gaze complex, muttering to himself: "Publicly refining the Break-Sect Pill... what grand spirit, what strong confidence.

I have studied Pill Refining Technique my entire life, yet he refines Medicinal Pills of the same rank with such ease.

Just who exactly is this Master Shen?"

Vice President Qiemier sighed beside him: "The younger generation is formidable. President, we must attend this event.

To witness a Seventh-Rank Great Master performing Alchemy with our own eyes is a once-in-a-lifetime learning Opportunity for us.

As for the concubine ceremony... that is merely secondary."

Fa Ma nodded: "Indeed.

Pass down the order: prepare the Guild's most precious Medicinal Ingredients as a congratulatory gift.

We must not only observe the ceremony, but also use this Opportunity to form a connection with this Great Master."

...Cloud Mist Sect.

Inside the Cloud Mist Sect's main hall, the atmosphere was somewhat stagnant.

Several Elders looked at the invitation, their expressions varied.

One Elder spoke first, his tone suspicious: "Hmph, announcing the refining of the Break-Sect Pill and taking a concubine simultaneously? Seeking cheap popularity!

I believe this person's intentions are impure; he wants to use this to intimidate the various powers of my Jia Ma Empire."

Another Elder was more cautious: "He cannot be underestimated. It is a fact that Queen Medusa broke through to Dou Zong and now follows him.

The fact that he receives such courtesy from Jia Xingtian proves he has extraordinary abilities.

And this Break-Sect Pill... what if he succeeds?"

"Even if he can refine it, what does that have to do with my Cloud Mist Sect? Is my Cloud Mist Sect supposed to fawn over some newcomer?"

Yun Ling, who had been resting with his eyes closed, slowly opened them, his voice carrying authority: "Enough.

The Sect Master is still in seclusion; I will make the decision on this matter.

Regardless of this person's intentions, his strength cannot be underestimated.

My Cloud Mist Sect cannot be absent. I will represent the Sect, bring gifts, and attend the ceremony."

...Three days later.

Under the full effort of the Mittel Family's organization, the entire residence was decorated with lanterns and colored banners, exceptionally festive.

Hai Bodong personally oversaw the command, striving for flawless perfection in every detail.

When the sun reached its zenith, figures from all major powers arrived in an endless stream.

Nalan Jie, accompanied by Nalan Su, presented a precious Demonic Beast Magic Core.

Mu Chen strode in, presenting a box of rare Gold-Attribute Ore.

Fa Ma and Qiemier represented the Alchemist Guild, offering several Spiritual Plants contained in Jade Boxes.

Gu He and Yun Ling of the Cloud Mist Sect also appeared on time. After presenting their congratulatory gifts,

they quietly sat to the side, though their eyes occasionally swept toward the main seat.

Guests gathered like clouds, encompassing almost every named power in Jia Ma Holy City.

They conversed, yet their gazes subtly drifted toward the tightly closed Inner Academy door, anticipating the appearance of the mysterious host.

The auspicious hour had arrived.

Shen Wen, holding the hand of Xiao Yi Xian, who wore a scarlet wedding dress, slowly walked into the main hall.

Xiao Yi Xian wore light makeup; her beautiful face, set against the red gown, lost some of its usual elegance and gained a breathtaking radiance.

She lowered her lashes slightly, her palm slightly sweaty from nervousness, but Shen Wen held it firmly.

The ceremony was simple yet solemn.

Without excessive formalities, the two simply completed the rite under the witness of representatives from numerous powers.

When the Master of Ceremonies shouted "The Rite is Complete," Xiao Yi Xian felt momentarily as if she were in a dream.

Shen Wen turned his head, smiled slightly, and whispered, "From now on, you are a member of my Shen Family."

Xiao Yi Xian's heart trembled, and an indescribable sense of security welled up within her; she softly murmured, "Mm."

And at this very moment, the crisp System notification sound rang out in Shen Wen's mind as expected:

[Ding! Detected that the Host successfully took Xiao Yi Xian (Rating: 98) as a concubine, meeting the System reward criteria!]

[Congratulations, Host, for winning the beauty. Reward: Future Non-Existence Sutra, Cosmic Clock]

[Detected that the concubine status is established, issuing dowry: Primordial Spirit Body Origin, Great Poison Technique]

[If the Affection between the two increases, rewards can continue to be obtained for every 10% increase.]

[Current Affection: 16%]

After the rite was complete, the banquet did not last too long.

Shen Wen, holding Xiao Yi Xian, stood up and cupped his hands toward the hall full of guests, his voice clearly reaching every corner: "Thank you, everyone, for honoring us with your presence today. Shen Wen thanks you here.

We have prepared a small token of gratitude. When you depart, you may claim a portion with your invitation."

His words were understated.

Initially, the guests didn't pay much attention, assuming it was just a typical return gift.

However.

When they successively received the seemingly ordinary Jade Box and opened it, the entire hall instantly erupted with sounds of people sharply inhaling cold air.

Inside the Jade Box, there were no vulgar items like gold or silver, but Medicinal Pills, neatly sorted and arranged!

They shimmered with luster, and the medicinal fragrance assailed their noses. From the lowest-grade First-Rank Qi Replenishing Pill and Blood Coagulation Powder, to the Third-Rank Wind Walk Pill, and even several Fourth-Rank Qi Gathering Powder!

"This... this gesture is far too grand!"

The Patriarch of a minor Family had a trembling voice, holding the Jade Box in his hands as if it were a peerless treasure.

A Fourth-Rank Medicinal Pill was already a treasure they had to pay a huge price to obtain.

Mu Chen stared at the Fourth-Rank Medicinal Pill in the box, which was greatly beneficial to his Cultivation, his tiger eyes wide open. He couldn't help but slap his thigh heavily: "What generosity! Mr. Shen is truly generous!

This return gift is heavier than the congratulatory gift I sent!"

Nalan Jie was also moved, whispering to his son: "To casually give away so many Medicinal Pills.

This Mr. Shen is not only exceptionally powerful, but his wealth and foundation likely far exceed what we can imagine.

The Nalan Family must absolutely not antagonize him."

Even President Fa Ma, who was widely experienced, paused the hand stroking his beard, sighing: "Giving away Medicinal Pills like flowing water... such spirit.

Only a Great Grandmaster could do this. It seems we have all greatly underestimated this Master Shen."

Some people who originally harbored other thoughts in their hearts

were now completely stunned by this "small token," leaving only awe and gratitude in their hearts.

Yun Ling, however, handed the Jade Box in his hand to Gu He.

"Pill King, how is the quality of these Medicinal Pills?"

Gu He, who was called over, looked at the Medicinal Pills inside the Jade Box with a surprised expression, saying, "These Medicinal Pills were all refined within the last few days, and their quality is extremely high. They are practically perfect."

"What is this?"

"It's the return gift given to the guests by that newcomer Dou Zong, the one who said he would refine the Break-Sect Pill."

Gu He said, "Publicly refining the Break-Sect Pill—Alchemy itself requires a calm mind."

"Public Alchemy, especially for Medicinal Pills like the Break-Sect Pill, I want to see if he's just seeking cheap popularity!"

Since Sect Leader Yun returned from outside recently, she immediately entered seclusion, leaving him with much free time.

There is no harm in going to observe.

After Gu He left, Yun Ling muttered, "It seems he truly is an Alchemist. Whether he is Sixth-Rank or Seventh-Rank, he satisfies the Lord's requirements..."

"It seems I need to notify the Lord."
