Chapter 15: Gui Shou Takes a Wife
Purple Bamboo Mountain, Alchemy Workshop.
Fang Yun used his fire control technique, and with a wave of his hand, thirty-three bamboo leaves flipped and condensed into a raging sea of fire.
Under the guidance of the Fifth Elder, he is attempting to refine Huangya Dan (a type of medicinal pill).
This pill is classified as a low-grade first-tier medicine, with a pure and moderate medicinal effect, suitable for all types of spiritual roots.
It is most suitable for cultivators in the early stages of Qi Refining to improve their cultivation and magical power.
The spiritual fire rose, making the alchemy furnace sparkle.
One by one, the medicinal herbs were thrown into the alchemy furnace by Fang Yun, who extracted their medicinal essence with movements as smooth as flowing water.
"Junior brother's technique today seems a bit rushed and impatient..."
What others considered a perfect move, Fang Yaosheng couldn't help but frown at.
Fang Pangen remained calm, stroking his beard as he spoke: "That girl Zhiyu is due to give birth in the next couple of days, probably today."
"No wonder!"
Fang Yaosheng suddenly realized.
More than half an hour later, Fang Yun formed a condensation seal with his hands and released his last bit of magical power.
The alchemy furnace roared, and the flames gradually dissipated.
The Fifth Elder opened the furnace to test the elixir. A surge of heat hit him, and a fragrant aroma of elixir immediately filled the air.
He picked out a pill and examined it carefully: "Seven pills were formed. The color is a bit dark, but the medicinal properties are sufficient. This batch is barely acceptable."
"It's all thanks to the constant guidance and instruction from my Master and Senior Brothers!"
Fang Yun felt a little tired, stood respectfully with his hands at his sides, and dared not take credit.
He knew his own limitations, and that he was now ranked as a low-grade alchemist.
It was all thanks to the old man's generous teaching and meticulous guidance.
"Today is an important day for you, and you're eager to go home, so let's refine this batch."
Fang Pangen seemed to remember something and then said, "I almost forgot, a couple of days ago, news came from the Green Wood Sect that Fairy Qin... has officially become a disciple."
As Fang Yun walked down the mountain, he thought about his uncle's words and prepared to tell Lu Guishou that night.
When he returned to his residence, the maids were indeed busy, and they hurriedly bowed to him.
Several older children clung to the threshold, peering out curiously, like a row of little potatoes squatting there.
Before long, accompanied by a loud cry, the midwife came out with a beaming smile: "Congratulations, sir! Congratulations, sir! It's another little prince!"
Previously, Fang Zhiqing's second child was a boy, named Fang Nian.
"I have four biological children, three boys and one girl. If they all test positive for spiritual roots, the pressure on me as their father to support the family will be immense."
Fang Yun shook his head. He had already chosen a name and planned to call him "Fang Long".
That night.
After calming his wife and children, Fang Yun took a pot of green bamboo wine and went to his friend's house.
Fang Shi'er opened the door again, which was strange.
Lu Guishou was also by his side, looking somewhat nervous.
Fang Yun, with his keen spiritual sense, instantly realized something and was overjoyed: "Congratulations, Brother Lu! Your wife is pregnant!"
Lu Guishou rubbed the back of his head and couldn't help but laugh.
He held the maid in his arms, his face beaming with uncontainable joy.
Fang Shi'er blushed and punched him in the chest, her cheeks flushing red. "You two brothers chat, I'll go... I'll go prepare some side dishes and cook some wine."
Compared to a year ago, she looks radiant.
No trace of melancholy remained; her features were now bright and captivating.
"Brother Lu, now that your wife is pregnant, when do you plan to give her a proper status?"
Fang Yun and his companion arrived at the pavilion, where bamboo shadows swayed and the moonlight was bright.
The night is exceptionally gentle tonight.
Fang Shi'er is now just a maid, not even a concubine.
"Once Shi'er gives birth to a child, I will marry her as my principal wife."
Lu Guishou sipped the spirit wine, his gaze softening: "When the time comes, I'll take a few more concubines to serve her."
Fang Yun nodded, chatted with him for a while, and then, when the time was right, mentioned Qin Yao's matter.
"This is good news, young lord. Let's prepare a generous gift and send it to Fairy Qin through a caravan."
Lu Guishou gazed at the distant darkness, lost in thought.
"Alright."
Fang Yun did not refuse and drank the wine in his glass as well.
……
In the blink of an eye, another year has passed.
Fang Shier and her babies are safe and sound; she even gave birth to twins.
Lu Guishou was overjoyed to become a father for the first time and immediately held a grand ceremony to marry her as his principal wife.
Fang Yun originally thought...
This wedding was merely a private celebration for the non-family members of the Xianmiao clan to maintain their relationship behind closed doors.
After all, Lu Guishou didn't have many friends in the Fang family.
Unexpectedly, a disciple from the Yuquan Chen clan of the Qingmu Sect came to visit, bringing a congratulatory gift from his junior sister, Qin Yao.
This immediately caused a sensation throughout the entire Ziqing Lake.
Fang Yun stood in the corner, looking at the simple courtyard.
The place was packed with people, including all the important figures from the Fang family.
My whole body went numb.
"Junior brother, that's the Seventh Elder, a first-grade high-level weapon refiner. He has a terrible temper and is stationed in Liuyun Market all year round..."
"The Third Elder has arrived too. That old fellow is formidable; he controls the Purple Bamboo Mountain Treasury, and his grandsons are a real goldmine..."
Fang Yaosheng stood behind him, looking serious and solemn.
Secretly, they transmitted their identities to each other.
If it weren't for the fact that his cultivation level was lower than the opponent's, he would have been overjoyed.
Almost all the elders were present, and Fang Yun even met the Foundation Establishment seed of this generation of the Fang family.
The man had an ordinary, unremarkable appearance and looked to be in his thirties.
His hair was even a little sparse on the top, plain and unremarkable, but he had a very calm and composed demeanor.
If it weren't for Fang Yaosheng's guidance, Fang Yun would never have thought of it.
This guy's name is Fang Yaode. He has exceptional talent and is the only person in the Fang family's bloodline with a superior spiritual root spanning several generations.
In the end, even the head of the Fang family came in person.
He was an extremely shrewd middle-aged man, dressed in purple robes with a sash, with a beautiful beard and a pair of captivating eyes.
The gathering of so many important figures was not for Lu Guishou, but all because of that one name.
The Chen family of Yuquan.
These four simple words are like a mountain.
This pressured all members of the Fang family to be extremely respectful and fearful.
The majesty of the Golden Core clans is evident.
Finally, Fang Yun met this distinguished guest who came out of the Green Wood Sect.
He was very young, looking only about thirty years old, yet he had already achieved perfect cultivation, with a faint smile on his face.
He was handsome and refined, dressed in white with an otherworldly air.
He was enveloped in a hazy halo, as if he were out of place with his surroundings.
"Young Master Chen!"
"Chen Gaozu!"
Accompanied by words of flattery, the man surnamed Chen entered the hall.
His gaze never lingered for even a moment.
Fang Yun straightened up, watched the excitement, left a gift, and quietly left with Fang Yaosheng.
"Father, Uncle Lu's house is very lively. He must have received many spirit stones and treasures today."
At the doorstep, six-year-old Fang Yu was standing there, watching the loud drumming and gonging not far away, her eyes glued to the scene.
The little guy is calm and good at everything, except he takes after his mother, Zhiqing, in a way.
Greedy.
"One day, our family will be just as lively and bustling as it is today."
Fang Yun rubbed his son's little tiger head and pulled him to continue practicing swordsmanship.
More than three months later.
Fang Yu and Fang Lan turned six one after another, reaching the age when they could have their spiritual roots tested.
"Don't be afraid, just stand on the platform, it will be over soon."
The Fifth Elder specially borrowed the family's spirit-testing jade platform and instructed the chubby-faced Fang Yu to stand on it and inject a stream of magical power.
After ten breaths, a yellowish-brown light bloomed, growing ever more radiant.
It illuminated the exceptionally joyful faces of the couple and their two companions.
