“Everyone knows that the Xian Ocean is rich in Supreme Glazed True Silver. Our family invited everyone over here this time mainly because of a natural Dharma Array found in the Xian Ocean, which is obviously a mystic area. The natural Dharma Array will loosen in a few days. When that happens, we can work together to break it...”

Many guests had started to discuss softly, and even Di Jiu secretly admired the magnanimity of the Xian Family.

Even though such a mystic area had been discovered, instead of keeping it for themselves, the Xian Family had released the news and invited everyone to make a fortune with them. If the Xian Family was not magnanimous, then there had to be something wrong with that mystic area.

Theoretically, the mystic area had not been opened yet, so the Xian Family should not know if there was any problem with it.

Xian Wuxun added, “After the mystic area opens, it will be open to everyone. The first batch of people to enter will naturally include everyone present.”

Many cultivators thanked him with cupped fists one after another, feeling very satisfied with the way the Xian Family acted.

Xian Wuxun greeted them back politely. When the crowd was quiet again, he went on to say, “There are a few more days left until the opening of the mystic area. My family will use this opportunity to hold a engagement ceremony for our daughter, Xian Wuchan. Everyone will witness the ceremony here.”

After Xian Wuxun finished speaking, he sat down. At that moment, heavenly music was heard and a woman walked in, accompanied by a young man. Behind them were several good-looking servants.

Upon seeing that woman, Di Jiu found her really ugly.

She had thick lips and narrow eyes, and her body was extremely bloated. Her face was also dull, but her hair was pitch black, as she had inherited it from her father, Xian Wuxun. Her cultivation level was at the late-stage Dao Transformation Realm, so it was much stronger than Qu Fang’s.

On the contrary, the young man beside the woman looked like a genius. Except for his slightly thinner lips, everything else about him was exceptional. His cultivation level was at the late-stage Primordial Dao Realm.

Qu Fang’s eyes widened, as he had heard that Xian Wuchan was very beautiful.

The man and woman walked over to Xian Wuxun’s side and bowed before calling him father in unison. Then, each of them stood on either side of Xian Wuxun.

Xian Wuxun laughed and said, “Wuchan and Xiao Lie, hurry up and greet all the senior experts who came here.”

“Yes.” Xian Wuchan and the male cultivator called Xiao Lie bowed before all the cultivators with a sincere attitude. However, Xian Wuchan’s voice was husky. Even though she had only said a few words when she had come in, everyone could hear that she did not sound soft at all.

The seated cultivators stepped forward one after another to congratulate them, and a Dao Integration cultivator sitting in the highest seat said clearly, “Congratulations to Wuchan and her beloved for getting engaged today. I, Zhong Muyu, don’t have any good stuff, and my congratulatory gift might not be respectful. Please don’t mind me.”

After he finished saying that, that cultivator took out a ring and a gift list before handing them over.

Wuchan didn’t need to do anything, as a female servant stepped forward and used a jade plate to take those things. Xian Wuchan and Xiao Lie then hurriedly bowed to thank him.

The female servant said in a clear voice, “Great Change Heaven Island Zhong Muyu presents a high-grade divine spirit meridian, a pair of high-grade Flying Double Loops, an Absolute Jade Tincture Dao Fruit...”

Many cultivators who were unaware of the rules gasped. This gift list...

Di Jiu secretly thought that the original problem lay in this place. If each of the few hundreds of people there gave gifts like that, the Xian Family would strike it rich. Di Jiu also knew that not many people would give such gifts.

Di Jiu was not disgusted by that. The Xian Family had collected gifts out in the open and had not forcibly asked people to give gifts. The Great Change Heaven Island’s Zhong Muyu might have come from the Great Change Realm.

“Big Brother, I don’t have anything to gift.” Upon hearing that they had to give something of a high level, Qu Fang spoke with some concern.

“Don’t worry. I can just give them something.” Di Jiu patted Qu Fang.

Now that Zhong Muyu had taken the lead, the gifts given after him were not bad. If the gifts were too poor, the person in question would probably be disgraced. Someone would read out loud their gifts, and most cultivators who gifted something would get a jade talisman in return. Although Xian Wuxun hadn’t said anything, Di Jiu had guessed that this jade talisman should be the means to enter the mystic area.

Both Di Jiu and the other cultivators had guessed that. Those who did not receive the jade talisman were the people who gave fewer or relatively few gifts.

Those who gave more gifts were given two or more jade talismans. Evidently, the Xian Family was selling the jade talismans to the mystic area for gifts.

It seemed that the Xian Family was prideful. Although everyone knew what was going on, the Xian Family did not reveal it. If anyone wanted to enter the mystic area, they had to send sufficient gifts or that would be it.

Because of that, the gifts got more and more expensive. Many of them had probably guessed that if they wanted jade talismans after they left this place, the price would be much higher.

At that moment, it was Xing Xi’s turn to present her gifts. Di Jiu looked at Xing Xi very closely, wanting to know what that woman would offer.

Xing Xi handed over a ring and a gift list but said nothing.

When the female servant’s Spiritual Force scanned them, she was shocked. Then, she reported, “Lotus Lake Xing Xi presents a special-class Heaven Essence Dao Pill to congratulate the two newlyweds...”

Upon hearing that, Di Jiu gasped and all the cultivators in the hall were startled.

Someone had given a special-class Heaven Essence Dao Pill. She could not give such a thing just like that, no matter how wealthy she was.

From a certain perspective, the Heaven Essence Dao Pill was simply something that could not be purchased.

Di Jiu grew even more vigilant. He had originally planned to gift the elixir pill. Even though he had a lot of Heaven Essence Dao Pills, he was not ready to gift them. Unexpectedly, Xing Xi had gifted a Heaven Essence Dao Pill.

There were only two possibilities behind Xing Xi’s gift. Xing Xi had either robbed a top-notch Primordial Dao or Primordial Chaos Alchemy Saint, or she was a Primordial Chaos Alchemy Saint herself. Di Jiu felt that it was more likely that Xing Xi was a Primordial Chaos Alchemy Saint. After all, she would only gift something that she could refine at any time.

Xing Xi was definitely not old but was already a Primordial Chaos Alchemy Saint. How come she had dared to reveal herself there? How confident was she?

Xian Wuxun, who was the first one to react, quickly said with cupped fists, “Thank you, Daoist Xing, for being generous. Wuchan, hurry over and thank her.”

Di Jiu knew very well why Xian Wuxun had done that. The Xian Family had not taken Xing Xi seriously in the past. However, now that Xing Xi had gifted that Heaven Essence Dao Pill, the Xian Family already regarded her as the most important partner around.

Xian Wuxun and the others greeted Xing Xi one by one. Most of them had guessed that Xing Xi should be a top-notch Alchemy Saint. They had only heard of a few Primordial Chaos Alchemy Saints and had never seen one.

Meanwhile, the gift-giving process in the main hall was still going on. After the Heaven Essence Dao Pill, the gifts that followed were even more expensive.

The gift-receiving female servant very soon approached Di Jiu. Instead of taking out a ring, Di Jiu took out a delicate flying boat and placed it on her jade plate.

When the female servant’s gaze shifted from the gift list, she immediately read aloud, “Itinerant Cultivator Di Jiu and Itinerant Cultivator Qu Fang present a half-supreme-grade flying vehicle...”

Swoosh! This time, everyone turned their attention to Di Jiu.

What a guy! Before the sensation caused by the Heaven Essence Dao Pill earlier had even ended, someone had gifted a half-supreme-grade flying vehicle.

Why had Xian Cang viewed Di Jiu in a different light all along? Because Di Jiu had a supreme-grade flying shuttle. In fact, even a high-grade flying divine weapon was rare, let alone a supreme-grade flying Dharma treasure.

The value of a high-grade flying divine weapon was even higher than that of ten high-grade divine weapons. Now that Di Jiu had directly gifted a half-supreme-grade flying vehicle, from a certain perspective, his gift was more valuable than the Heaven Essence Dao Pill. Of course, an item’s value depended on the person who needed it
