Chapter 318: Recruiting a Son-in-Law
A month passed in a flash, and the day of the fruit appreciation meeting held by the Ye family of Qinghu Peak finally arrived.
On this day, the entire Qinghu Peak was filled with a festive atmosphere.
The Ye family carefully arranged silk banners and flowers everywhere, decorating the entire mountain like a fairyland.
On the day of the meeting, a total of 23 young talents came to participate.
This result made Ye Changsheng very satisfied.
All these young talents are the legitimate sons of the Zifu family, all of whom have the talent of dual spiritual roots, handsome appearance, and reputation. They are recognized as the pride of heaven in the world of cultivation.
Ye Changsheng personally attended the meeting and warmly received every distinguished guest.
He ordered people to place precious spiritual fruits on the table of each hero.
Three second-level longevity peaches, six second-level Xuanyuan fruits, and three second-level Baiyuan fruits.
When these heroes saw the spiritual fruits in front of them, they were all shocked and surprised.
Everyone put away the longevity peaches and tasted a Xuanyuan fruit first.
The Xuanyuan fruit melted in the mouth, and a cool aura instantly filled the whole body.
After tasting it, everyone began to meditate at the same time to better absorb the effect of the spiritual fruit.
For two hours, the hall was silent, with only a faint aura flowing.
When everyone opened their eyes, Ye Shengling slowly walked to the front.
Her face was like a lotus emerging from the water, pure and unworldly, which amazed the heroes present again.
Ye Shengling smiled and saluted everyone, and then began to distribute a second-level high-quality Taoist canon to each person.
"Everyone, please spend an hour reading this Taoist canon. After that, I will discuss the understanding of the Taoist canon with each young master individually."
Ye Shengling said softly.
Ye Changsheng and Ye Shengrou had discussed this matter. Cultivation, combat power, and even qualifications are not so important. What is more important is the understanding of Taoism, which is the basis for going further.
Everyone respectfully took the Taoist canon and immediately immersed themselves in it.
An hour later, Ye Shengling began to invite each of the heroes to enter the screen behind the high platform and talk to them one by one.
The whole process lasted for nearly a day.
Ye Shengling patiently listened to everyone's opinions, sometimes nodding in agreement and sometimes asking questions.
Her profound knowledge and unique insights made every hero who talked to her admire her deeply.
Finally, the assessment was over.
Ye Shengling stood on the high platform and announced her choice to everyone: "After careful consideration, I decided to choose Li Yangtian, the young master of Da Chuyang County, as my fiancé."
The whole audience was in an uproar, some were happy and some were disappointed.
Li Yangtian stood up excitedly and bowed deeply to Ye Shengling.
Ye Changsheng then went on stage and thanked everyone: "Thank you for coming. Although only one person was selected, you are all the leaders in the world of cultivation. To express our gratitude, the Ye family decided to give each young master who was not selected a purple moon fruit."
As soon as this was said, the whole audience was shocked again.
Purple Moon Fruit is a precious spiritual fruit that can increase the chance of foundation-building cultivators to advance to the Purple Palace. The Ye family is so generous to give it away.
Everyone stood up and expressed their gratitude to Ye Changsheng and the Ye family.
"Senior Ye, we are so grateful for your generosity!"
"The generosity of the Ye family is admirable. Our trip is worthwhile!"
"Thank you for the generous gift from the Ye family. We will remember it in our hearts!"
Ye Changsheng smiled and accepted everyone's gratitude, secretly pleased in his heart.
This fruit appreciation conference not only selected a perfect husband for Ye Shengling, but also demonstrated the strength and magnanimity of the Ye family, which will surely cause a huge response in the world of immortal cultivation.
As the guests left one after another, this grand fruit appreciation conference finally ended successfully.
On the third day after the fruit appreciation conference, Ye Changsheng was concentrating on reading an ancient Taoist canon in his quiet room. His brows were slightly frowned, and he was immersed in the mysterious text with full concentration, trying to comprehend the truth of the great way contained in it.
Suddenly, a strange voice sounded in his mind: "Ye Changsheng, come out and see me!"
This sudden voice transmission startled Ye Changsheng. He raised his head suddenly and looked around vigilantly.
However, there was no one in the quiet room, only a few spirit stone lamps emitting soft light.
Ye Changsheng was secretly surprised. He could penetrate his spiritual defense so easily, at least he was a master of the fourth-level Daoting realm.
He took a deep breath, tried to calm his mind, and quickly thought of countermeasures.
"Since the other party can easily transmit the voice, it must be easy to enter the Ye family. Since he chose to meet outside, it should not be malicious."
Ye Changsheng quickly deduced in his mind and finally decided to meet.
He stood up, tidied his robes, and then used his body skills.
In a few teleports, Ye Changsheng had arrived outside the Ye family's mountain protection formation.
As soon as he appeared, Ye Changsheng saw a mysterious man covered in a black robe. The man stood under an ancient tree not far away, exuding an indescribable sense of oppression.
When the black-robed man saw Ye Changsheng appear, he immediately waved his hand to set up a soundproof barrier around him. Ye Changsheng became more alert in his heart, but remained calm on the surface.
"Ye Changsheng."
The black-robed man spoke, his voice hoarse and low, with a strange magic that seemed to touch people's souls directly.
Ye Changsheng bowed slightly and said respectfully: "I am Ye Changsheng, I wonder if the senior has any advice?"
The black-robed man waved his hand gently, indicating that Ye Changsheng did not need to be polite.
"Don't be shocked, I came here today to invite you to participate in an underground auction."
This news really surprised Ye Changsheng.
He asked cautiously, "Why did the senior choose me?"
The black-robed man laughed, "Because you are rich. Of course, you don't have to be afraid, we are here to make a deal."
Hearing this, Ye Changsheng relaxed a little.
But he still remained vigilant, because the so-called "underground auction" often meant some shady transactions.
The black-robed man continued, "I advise you to prepare enough spirit stones before you go, otherwise you will regret it."
As he said, he took out a black invitation from his sleeve and handed it to Ye Changsheng.
Ye Changsheng took the invitation and saw that there was no text on it, only a mysterious symbol.
"Three days later, at this time, this invitation will take you to the place of the transaction."
The black-robed man added, "Remember, no more waiting."
Ye Changsheng carefully examined the invitation in his hand, his heart full of questions.
When he looked up to ask for more details, he found that the black-robed man had disappeared, and the soundproof barrier disappeared out of thin air.
Ye Changsheng stood there, unable to calm down for a long time.
He repeatedly thought about what had just happened, trying to find clues from it.
Who is this mysterious man in black robe?
What rare items will be auctioned at the underground auction?
With a lot of questions in his mind, Ye Changsheng slowly returned to the Ye family.
He decided to prepare well in the next few days, whether it is spirit stones or other items that may be needed, he must prepare enough.
Ye Changsheng thought about it and decided that only by going to the Heavenly Palace and preparing some means could he feel at ease.
After all, this underground auction is full of unknowns and dangers, and the more preparations, the more protection.
