Chapter 16: Kung Fu

"Please inform me that the eldest elder of the Ye family, Ye Jiuhu, is here with his family's descendants."

Ye Jiuhu said to the guard.

After a while, a member of the Liu family's Zhike clan led the three Ye family members to the main hall of the Liu family.

"Ye family, Ye Jiuhu, Nao Nuo! Nao Nuo!"

"Liu family, Liu Bai, nice to meet you! Nice to meet you!"

After being introduced by the Zhike clan members of the Liu family, Ye Jiuhu and the head of the Liu family greeted each other.

"Clan Leader Liu, let me get straight to the point. This time I am here for Quanzi's marriage to the noble lady Liu Qian'er..."

Ye Jiuhu said.

"Elder Ye, don't mention this matter. My Liu Qian'er has been promised to the only son of Master He from Xuanwufang City."

"The engagement day is in these few days."

"If some of you came here just for this matter, I'm afraid you'll be disappointed."

Liu Bai said with a serious face.

Hearing this, Ye Tianyu blushed and was about to stand up, but was held down by Ye Changsheng from behind.

"Clan Chief Liu, why don't you take a look at my family's betrothal gift before drawing a conclusion."

Ye Jiuhu also directly took out the jade box and pushed it over.

But Liu Bai glanced at it and had no intention of taking it.

"The things in this jade box of my blind date will definitely impress you, I promise!"

Ye Jiuhu said word for word.

Seeing Ye Jiuhu being so solemn, Liu Bai's face moved slightly.

Opened the jade box in front of him.

After seeing the two spiritual fruits in the jade box, his expression changed drastically?

"Shengxian Pear? Loving Kindness Fruit? No, it's the second-level Loving Kindness Fruit."

Liu Bai said in surprise.

"Clan Chief Liu is worthy of being a patriarch from the Establishing Family."

"You can actually tell the origin of these two spiritual fruits at a glance."

Ye Jiuhu said calmly.

Liu Bai's hands were trembling slightly.

He stood up and kept pacing in the living room.

Apparently he was having trouble making a decision.

"Clan Leader Liu, although the elixir is good, it can't be compared with a spiritual fruit like Shengxian Pear that can quickly increase one level without any side effects!"

"What's more, this second-level Loving Heart Fruit is a very cherished treasure in the eyes of the Foundation Establishment Ancestor. If you present this fruit, your ancestor will definitely be very satisfied with you."

"In my opinion, this deal is definitely much more cost-effective than some Qi Refining Stage elixirs."

Ye Changsheng interrupted.

Liu Bai didn't care that a junior like Ye Changsheng interrupted, and smiled bitterly: "Of course I know, but you don't know that there is a incomplete second-level skill in the betrothal gift."

"This technique is also urgently needed by our Liu family."

"Is that a second-level skill that can only be practiced during the Qi refining period?"

Ye Jiuhu said.

"Yes, although it can only be practiced at the Qi Refining level, the second-level skills are the second-level skills."

"Brother Ye, you must also know that practicing second-level skills is not only faster and more powerful, but also makes it easier to advance to the foundation building stage."

"But your second-level Loving Heart Fruit is indeed very tempting to our Liu family, and that's why I got into trouble!"

Liu Bai said with a wry smile.

"Clan Leader Liu, why bother? Today is an auspicious day. Let's put down the betrothal gift first. Our Ye family guarantees that within one year, the Liu family will have the priority to trade ten Shengxian pears."

"The nobles just lack the foundation. It doesn't mean that they can't do without this incomplete second-level skill, right? Besides, this incomplete second-level skill can still be bought at auctions."

"Eleven Shengxian Pears can increase the Qi Refining Stage of eleven people without any side effects. Maybe as a result, your Liu family will have one more Foundation-Building Ancestor."

"This way you will know at a glance which is more important and which is less important."

"Of course, if you suspect us of telling lies, we can guarantee that if you don't get ten Shengxian Pears from us within a year, you will return the betrothal gift. What do you think?"

Ye Changsheng talked eloquently.

"Is this true?"

Liu Bai's eyes widened.

Ye Changsheng and Ye Jiuhu looked at each other.

"This is true, I promise!"

"If your Liu family cannot get another ten Shengxian Pears according to the time limit, the betrothal gift does not need to be returned. Do you still have doubts about this, Chief Liu?"

Ye Jiuhu is more generous.

"I have no doubts. The Ye family is so generous. It is fitting that Liu Qian'er will marry Mr. Ling."

Liu Bai agreed.

"Actually, I know that Liu Qian'er and Mr. Ling have the same affection. These betrothal gifts are nothing. Our Liu family is more interested in Liu Qian'er's wishes."

Liu Bai said.

"Understood, completely understood."

Ye Jiuhu also smiled.

Liu Bai was a little embarrassed after hearing this.

"But our Ye family also has a condition. The things about the Shengxian Pear and the Second-order Loving Heart Fruit in our betrothal gift must be kept secret. We don't want others to know that we have these things on us."

Ye Jiuhu said.

"No problem, I can guarantee it!"

Liu Bai said.

"Clan Chief Liu, where is Qian'er now? I want to see her."

Ye Tianyu was a little anxious.

"Mr. Ye, I have given Liu Qian'er a fatal order to retreat. Now she must not come out to see you, to prevent her cultivation from being damaged."

"But don't worry, I've accepted the betrothal gift. I won't accept any more betrothal gifts from the He family later on."

"I have said before, our Liu family still values ​​the personal wishes of our clan members."

Liu Bai said with an upright face.

"Okay, I believe that Patriarch Liu must be a man who promises a lot of money."

"The Liu family is a great foundation-building family, and I trust your family's character even more."

"In that case, let's take our leave!"

After Ye Jiuhu bowed, he took Ye Tianyu and Ye Changsheng out of the Liu family.

On the flying boat, Ye Tianyu bowed solemnly to Ye Changsheng.

"Changsheng, thank you so much this time, otherwise my marriage would have been in trouble."

Ye Changsheng quickly helped Ye Tianyu up.

"Uncle, you are embarrassing me. I am your nephew, and it is my duty to help."

"Uncle, we didn't pay much more for the betrothal gifts. We didn't need those immortal pears anyway. We originally planned to sell them to big merchants. Now we sell them to the Liu family at the market price, which is not a loss at all."

Ye Changsheng explained.

"The only thing to worry about is whether the Liu family keeps it secret."

"I heard that Liu Baishan, the ancestor of the Liu family, is a very upright person. Although Liu Bai is a bit mercenary, he should not do such a thing."

Ye Jiuhu said calmly.

Ye Changsheng nodded.

"Grandpa, Liu Bai just reminded me that our family's skills are no longer applicable."

"You have reached the ninth level of Qi Refining. Our family has no shortage of cultivation resources. You have to prepare for foundation building."

"It is best for you to change to the second-level skills before building the foundation. This will increase the success rate of foundation building."

Ye Changsheng said.

"I know that our family's Seven Stars Return to Origin Gong is indeed outdated, but for us, the second-level skills are a bit out of reach!"

Ye Jiuhu frowned and said lightly.

"In fact, you can go to the auction to try your luck."

"I heard that the third-level market Lingyuan Market had an auction that showed a second-level skill a few years ago."

Ye Tianyu said.

"Lingyuan Market is too far away from us. By the time we get the news, the auction may have been completed."

"I heard that there are cultivators who have resources that the major chambers of commerce urgently need. We can exchange them with them, and we can exchange them for a second-level skill."

Ye Jiuhu said.

The speaker is unintentional, but the listener is intentional. Ye Changsheng secretly took note.
