Chapter 538 All Present

Cao Zheng gave Ye Yuan a deep look, cupped his hands, and said, "Then I'll trouble you, Young Brother Ye. Tomorrow, I will definitely be present to listen to your lecture on the scriptures!"

Cao Zheng's words were tantamount to acknowledging the fact that Ye Yuan would give a lecture on the scriptures.

His attitude once again stirred a wave of commotion among the crowd.

With the foundation of the Cao family, they were actually going to listen to Ye Yuan's lecture!

Those martial artists and alchemists who were watching all looked at Ye Yuan with astonished eyes.

Just then, the servant shouted again, "Ancestor Ning of the Heavenly Martial Sect, Ancestor Qin of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, and Ancestor Jingxuan of the Profound Ice Sect have arrived!"

"No way? The three sect ancestors have all come! With their status, they actually came in person for the City Lord's daughter's wedding!"

"Weren't the three ancestors busy preparing for the establishment of the alliance? Yet they took time out of their busy schedules to attend the wedding!"

"Could it be that these three ancestors are also here for the City Lord's grandson?"

The arrival of Ning Yixian and the other two caused a stir.

Their status was too high, and it was a busy time; logically, sending a Divine Journey realm elder from the sect would have been enough. No one expected them to come in person.

At this moment, many were already speculating that the three of them had also come for Ye Yuan.

"Hahaha, Brother Ye, I've come to offer my congratulations!"

Qin Hongtao's voice was as loud as a bell, and he seemed very happy. He grabbed Ye Yuan's arm, showing great intimacy.

Ye Yuan was puzzled by Qin Hongtao's gesture, wondering if the old man had taken the wrong medicine.

If it were Ning Yixian acting like this, he wouldn't be too surprised, but Qin Hongtao and he had a considerable grudge between them. Why this attitude?

Seeing Ye Yuan's confused expression, Ning Yixian smiled and explained, "After Qin Yan's trip to the Nether Cloud Sect, he reflected deeply and recently broke through from the Sea of Energy realm to the Sea of Soul realm. After coming out of seclusion, Qin Yan himself said that the person he thanks most for this smooth breakthrough is you! Heh heh, because of this, Old Man Qin has been showing off in front of us for days!"

Ye Yuan understood then, though he hadn't expected Qin Yan to break through so quickly.

The transition from the Sea of Energy realm to the Sea of Soul realm was a major hurdle, marking the shift from the lower three realms to the middle three realms.

Even for prodigies like Qin Yan, crossing this hurdle required a long period of accumulation.

Qin Yan, Guo Taoqun, and Yin Yanhua had originally been on par with each other, but unexpectedly, Qin Yan was the first to take this step.

"Heh, I see. Then congratulations to Ancestor Qin!" Ye Yuan cupped his hands in congratulations.

"Haha, mutual joy! Brother Ye, no need to be polite with me. Just call me Old Brother from now on. Your parents are being recognized by the clan and tying the knot—how could I, as your old brother, not come to congratulate? This Wild Goose Feather Armor was used by me in my early years and is infinitely close to a profound artifact." Qin Hongtao laughed heartily.

Ye Yuan's heart stirred. Defensive spiritual artifacts were extremely rare and often far more valuable than offensive ones.

Although this Wild Goose Feather Armor hadn't reached the level of a profound artifact, its value was no less than the Xuan Ying Sword gifted by Dan Chenzi.

Qin Hongtao was indeed quite generous.

"Old man, you come out with a Wild Goose Feather Armor right away—aren't you making it hard for us? Fortunately, I came prepared. Here, Ye Yuan, this is Earth Core Spirit Milk. With your knowledge, you know its value—it's definitely not inferior to Old Man Qin's Wild Goose Feather Armor!" Ning Yixian said with a smile.

"Ye Yuan, this is the Ice Heart Nether Lotus, a specialty of our Profound Ice Sect. This lotus blooms only once every hundred years and is extremely rare even in our sect." Jingxuan added.

Seeing the Ice Heart Nether Lotus, Ye Yuan felt a surge of ecstasy.

He really hadn't expected that the Boundless Realm actually had the Ice Heart Nether Lotus!

This Ice Heart Nether Lotus was a fifth-grade item, a great tonic for those who cultivated ice-attributed techniques.

Even if swallowed raw, it was worth ten years of bitter cultivation! For martial artists of the Profound Ice Sect, it was definitely an extremely rare spiritual medicine.

Of course, Ye Yuan didn't care about that.

The reason he was overjoyed was that this Ice Heart Nether Lotus was a fifth-grade medicinal herb and an essential material for refining the fifth-grade pill, the Five Revolutions Ice Heart Pill!

This Five Revolutions Ice Heart Pill was the miraculous medicine to cure Lü'er's chronic ailment!

For a long time now, because Lü'er couldn't cultivate, she had been staying in Ye Yuan's spatial artifact.

And with Ye Yuan's current realm, he couldn't help Lü'er eradicate her chronic ailment, which had always been a thorn in his side.

The Ice Heart Nether Lotus was extremely rare; Ye Yuan thought it might not be found in the Boundless Realm, but who knew it would come without effort—it was actually a specialty of the Profound Ice Sect!

As long as Ye Yuan broke through to the Divine Journey realm, refining the Five Revolutions Ice Heart Pill would be a piece of cake.

Ye Yuan suppressed his inner joy, cupped his hands to the three, and said, "Thank you, three ancestors! Brother Five Profound has prepared Immortal Nectar Jade Brew for everyone. Please enter and taste it!"

Qin Hongtao's eyes lit up, and he said delightedly, "I once had Immortal Nectar Jade Brew at Fu Yunjing's place, and I'm still savoring the aftertaste. I didn't expect that old man Five Profound could also brew it! Old Man Ning, Jingxuan, let's go quickly—I want to try it!"

Ning Yixian had obviously heard of the fame of Immortal Nectar Jade Brew and was also feeling a craving for alcohol. He bid farewell to Ye Yuan and went in with Jingxuan.

"Hahaha, Young Brother Ye, I've come uninvited—don't blame me!"

Ye Yuan quickly went to greet him, cupped his hands and smiled, "Elder Hai, what are you saying? You are toiling for the common people of the world; how could I dare blame you? Besides, my parents are just holding a supplementary wedding; how could I dare trouble you to come?"

Seven Seas laughed, "No matter how busy I am, I had to come for the major event of Young Brother Ye's parents! Here, this is an ancient tiger bone I obtained in the Boundless Forest some years ago. It's of no use to me, so I'll give it to you as a wedding gift!"

Before Seven Seas finished speaking, a flash of white light streaked by and snatched the tiger bone from his hand—it was White Light!

Ye Yuan frowned and said, "White Light, don't be rude!"

Seven Seas laughed, "Haha, no harm done! This little white tiger of yours is quite shrewd; it seems this tiger bone is of great use to him."

Seven Seas had seen White Light by Ye Yuan's side before and vaguely sensed that this little white tiger was extraordinary.

Otherwise, given White Light's current strength, how could he have snatched something from Seven Seas's hand?

"Hehe, big brother, I got excited just now! This tiger bone is of great use to me, so I'll accept it on your behalf!"

With that, White Light moved and disappeared from everyone's sight.

Ye Yuan couldn't help but smile wryly; this guy really had no sense of propriety.

Seeing that the time was about right, Ye Yuan said to Seven Seas, "Elder Hai, the auspicious hour is almost upon us. As a son, I can't delay my parents' big event. Let's go inside!"
