150: An engagement? The system is even refunding the wedding gift money!

"Agreed?"

"It's... agreed just like that?"

Inside Yaochi Heavenly Palace, tens of thousands of Cultivators looked at each other in dismay.

Just a moment ago, it was a Shura field with swords drawn and bows bent, threatening to exterminate clans and slaughter cities.

In the blink of an eye.

How did it turn into... a matchmaking convention?

And the kind where they get engaged on the spot?

This change in style was too fast, like a tornado, making it hard for people to keep up.

"No time like the present."

Li Daoxuan was a man of action. Since the System mission had been issued, this wave of benefits had to be seized while it was hot.

With a wave of his sleeve, the table originally used for negotiations was instantly cleared.

"Come, come, don't just stand there."

"Although we're outside and the conditions are a bit simple."

"But we Cultivation children don't bother with trifles."

"Today, with all clans as witnesses, let's finalize the marriage of these two children!"

The Fire Qilin Cave Ancestral King's beard trembled with excitement, tears streaming down his face.

He never dreamed.

He came to die, but ended up becoming a relative.

And the relative he connected with was this supreme Heavenly Emperor who could suppress all clans with a single word!

What was this?

This was clinging to a golden thigh!

"All according to Emperor Lord's will! All according to Emperor Lord's will!"

The Ancestor King bowed and scraped, wishing he could go hang lanterns and decorate right now.

"Since it's an engagement, the betrothal gifts naturally cannot be few."

Li Daoxuan stroked his chin.

As their Revered Master, he couldn't be too stingy.

After all, you can't catch a wolf without sacrificing a child, and you can't get a System critical hit without sacrificing betrothal gifts!

He flipped his wrist.

Two items appeared out of thin air in his hand.

One was a piece of top-grade Divine Source, emitting a brilliant golden light, half a person tall!

The rich Spiritual Qi, just a wisp of it leaking out, made the surrounding air viscous.

The other.

It was a crimson Jade Slip, with a phantom of a True Phoenix swirling around it, and faint Phoenix cries could be heard.

"This piece of Divine Source weighs one hundred thousand catties."

"For this girl's pocket money."

"As for this Jade Slip..."

Li Daoxuan looked at Fire Spirit, his tone casual.

"I see a faint Qilin Bloodline in your body, but it's not pure."

"This 'True Phoenix Treasure Art' is a supreme Divine Ability from one of the Ten Fierce Beasts of the Primordial Era. Although it doesn't completely align with the Qilin, all Great Daos lead to the same destination."

"Take it and practice. Once you Revered Master it, you'll pretty much be able to return to your ancestral origins."

"Boom!"

As soon as these words came out, the entire place erupted!

One hundred thousand catties of top-grade Divine Source?!

That was equivalent to hundreds of millions of catties of Low-Grade Spirit Stones!

Enough to buy half of Central State!

To be used as... pocket money?!

What kind of family background was this?!

Even more outrageous was that Jade Slip!

True Phoenix Treasure Art?!

That was a legendary, long-lost Ten Fierce Treasure Art! It was the supreme Legacy of the Yao Race!

Even a single move or two circulating would make those Primordial Imperial Clans fight over it!

Now.

It was just... given away as a betrothal gift...?

"Gulp."

The Fire Qilin Cave Ancestral King looked at the two items and almost fainted on the spot.

He trembled with both hands, wanting to take them, but not daring to.

Too precious!

This was simply not enough even if he exchanged the entire Fire Qilin Cave for it!

"Take it."

Li Daoxuan directly stuffed the items into Fire Spirit's arms.

"We, Hidden God Sect, are not short on these things."

"Once you enter the family, you are one of us. Don't be polite with Revered Master."

Fire Spirit, holding the heavy Divine Source and Jade Slip, was completely dumbfounded.

She looked at Li Daoxuan's handsome and imposing face, feeling that she had never seen such a domineering and protective elder in her life.

"Thank... Thank you, Revered Master!"

She blushed and bowed obediently.

That address of "Revered Master" was incredibly sweet.

And at the moment Fire Spirit accepted the betrothal gifts.

In Li Daoxuan's mind.

The System notification sound that he had been dreaming of finally... rang!

[Ding!]

[Congratulations to the Host! Successfully facilitated the engagement between Disciple Shi Tian and Fire Qilin Cave Divine Maiden Fire Spirit!]

["Matchmaker Mission" successfully completed!]

[Detected Host's betrothal gifts: one hundred thousand catties of top-grade Divine Source, True Phoenix Treasure Art (complete version).]

[Triggering special critical hit - [Happy Couple]!]

[Congratulations to the Host! Triggered ten thousand times critical hit return!]

[Rewards are being generated...]

Li Daoxuan's heart thumped rapidly.

Ten thousand times critical hit!

And a special critical hit at that!

What good things could come out of this?

The next second.

[Congratulations to the Host for obtaining:]

[1. Immortal-grade Top-Grade Cultivation Technique - "Dragon Phoenix Harmony Art"!]

[Description: This is the supreme secret Classic of Dual Cultivation between the ancient Dragon Emperor and Phoenix Empress. Yin and Yang are harmonized, and the Great Dao complements each other. Cultivating this method, both parties' cultivation can be shared, Aptitude can be stacked, and cultivation speed is increased by a hundredfold! And there are no side effects!]

[2. extreme dao imperial weapon (Auxiliary Type) - [Mandarin Duck Conjoined Pendant]!]

[Description: A pair of divine pendants, with connected hearts. Wearers can sense each other's location regardless of spatial distance, and can borrow 30% of the other's Spiritual Power. At critical moments, a "Life and Death Shared" shield can be activated, resisting an Immortal's attack!]

"Holy crap!"

Li Daoxuan's eyes went wide as he looked at the two additional items in the System space.

Immortal-grade top-grade Dual Cultivation Cultivation Technique?!

And it could share cultivation and stack Aptitude?

This was practically a cheat designed specifically for this young couple!

And that Mandarin Duck Pendant.

Resisting an Immortal's attack?

How was this a token of love? This was clearly two lives!

He struck it rich!

He really hit the jackpot this time!

Li Daoxuan suppressed the smile at the corner of his mouth, his mind calculating furiously.

Turns out... a Disciple getting married not only solves the single problem.

It can also... farm resources?!

This was simply a new path to wealth!

He gave out one betrothal gift and received an Immortal Art and an Imperial Weapon in return.

The return rate was higher than robbery!

"Revered Master, you... you're smiling so frighteningly."

Shi Tian couldn't help but shrink his neck, looking at his Revered Master's gradually twisted smile.

"Am I?"

Li Daoxuan instantly reined in his smile, resuming the demeanor of a Grandmaster.

"This Revered Master is happy for you."

"Yes, happy."

He turned around.

His deep eyes, filled with "benevolence," slowly swept over his four other Disciples behind him.

Xiao Chen.

Ye Fan.

Leng Yanran.

Su Mo.

The four originally single dogs who were just watching the show suddenly felt a chill down their spines when Revered Master's gaze swept over them.

That feeling.

It was like being targeted by a wolf that had been hungry for three days, staring at a flock of plump lambs.

"Cough, cough."

Li Daoxuan cleared his throat and spoke earnestly.

"My Disciples."

"Look, your Third Junior Brother has already started a family."

"Shouldn't you, as Senior Brother and Senior Sister, also... hurry up?"

"Especially Xiao Chen."

Li Daoxuan pointed at his Senior Brother.

"You're already in your twenties, aren't you? In the mortal world, children your age would already be buying soy sauce."

"And Ye Fan."

"Doesn't your Sacred Body require Yin and Yang harmony? I think that little moon from the Ji Family is quite good; she's been secretly watching you."

"Yanran..."

"Su Mo..."

Li Daoxuan grew more and more excited, the light in his eyes even more dazzling than the sun in the sky.

That wasn't just concern.

That was... greed, seeing countless Immortal Artifacts and countless Emperor Scriptures beckoning to him!

"You guys are all getting old too."

"It's time to consider your personal matters."

"Don't worry, as for the betrothal gifts, this Revered Master will cover them!"

"As long as you bring one back, this Revered Master will not be stingy!"

"Bring one, get one Imperial Weapon!"

"Bring two, get two!"

Xiao Chen: "..."

Ye Fan: "..."

Leng Yanran: "..."

Su Mo: "..."

The four of them felt a chill run from the soles of their feet straight to their heads.

They looked at their Revered Master's expression, which seemed to say, "I can't wait to package you up and sell you off right now."

In their hearts, an extremely absurd thought arose simultaneously.

Revered Master... couldn't possibly be... trying to get rich by selling his Disciples, could he?!

"Um... Revered Master..."

Xiao Chen swallowed, instinctively taking a step back.

"Disciple... Disciple is single-mindedly devoted to the Dao, temporarily not wanting to..."

"Not wanting what not wanting!"

Li Daoxuan's eyes widened.

"There are tens of thousands of Great Daos, but all lead to the same destination!"

"The Dao of Dual Cultivation is also a Dao!"

"Go find one!"

"You must find one!"

"If you can't find a wife (husband), don't come back to the Sect!"

"This is an order!"

""

The four of them wanted to cry but had no tears.

It's over.

They've been targeted by Revered Master.

From now on... they're probably going to be forced into marriage to the ends of the earth!
