Chapter 182 Dowry
Last night, Leng Huan suddenly remembered that he had agreed to go into the tower, but Fu Xun had tricked him into forgetting. After returning to Mingxiu Peak, no matter how late it was, Leng Huan insisted that Fu Xun take him to see the so-called "secret" on the ninth floor.
Then... she was so excited that she stayed in the cultivation space until the next morning, which meant she had been cultivating for almost half a month.
I cried out to God in my heart, and left the tower at Chenshi (7-9 AM), full of energy, and headed to Luoxia Residence.
"Young Miss!" Qiu Yue Dongxue had been waiting at the gate for a long time. When she saw Leng Huan appear, she excitedly called out.
Last night, due to the rush, Leng Huan did not take them to Mingxiu Peak; the two of them remained with Leng Yan.
"Are you all alright? Are the Grand Elder and the others there?"
"Reporting to Miss, we are fine. The Grand Elder and the others have been waiting for a long time. Please go in."
There was no time to catch up with them, so Leng Huan simply greeted them and went to see his clansmen.
"Grandpa, I didn't expect you to come. Why did you have to go through all this trouble?"
Having already experienced the embarrassment of yesterday, Leng Huan now seemed to be wearing armor, walking in gracefully under everyone's gaze, first greeting the Nascent Soul elder at the head of the table.
The First Elder shook his head: "How can your wedding be considered a small matter? The clan sent me here to show how important it is. More than ten years have passed in the blink of an eye. You have quietly advanced from the Golden Core stage to the Nascent Soul stage and had a child. You are doing great things."
Leng Huan covered his face inwardly: "..." He remained silent, not responding to the conversation.
The Grand Elder sighed, "All in all, it's only been a little over ten years, and you've already reached the mid-Nascent Soul stage. You possess the Snow Spirit Physique; Xiao Yan told us this when she returned back then. We never expected this..."
"Grandpa, I have something to tell you privately." Leng Huan knew that she had taken advantage of Xue Ling's body; otherwise, she would only be at the Golden Core stage at most. In order not to waste time, she simply got straight to the point.
"In that case, Xiao Feng, take your sixth uncle and Xiao Wu out for a stroll." The First Elder understood and nodded to Leng Feng, who then nimbly stood up and led Leng Yan and her father out.
"There's no one else here, what do you want to say?" the elder asked, puzzled. "Have you encountered a problem with your cultivation?"
Leng Huan shook his head and tentatively asked, "No. Does Grandfather know how many hidden clans still exist on the various continents?"
The Grand Elder pondered for a moment: "I don't know about the other continents, but the Eastern Sea Continent... seems to be home only to our race."
Leng Huan took a breath. The entire Leng family had only a little over eighty members; the rest were all outer disciples.
And the other hidden races have disappeared; the situation on the other continents is probably not much better.
She kept thinking about how to revive the Snow Clan. Chaos was approaching, and only by banding together could they survive. No matter how strong one person was, they couldn't withstand an army of thousands.
“Grandfather, I know it’s not easy for you to support the family. Nowadays, the competition for resources among the various powerful families in the Northern County is fierce, and the relationships are delicate. Revival requires everyone’s joint efforts, and I alone am not enough.”
She took out a storage ring and handed it to the Grand Elder, saying, "These are the secret techniques and manuals I obtained in the Southern Continent."
Among them is a scripture called "The Sutra of Water Without Form," whose level I don't know, but I see it very clearly. It seems mysterious yet not mysterious, illusory yet not illusory. Perhaps I should let my clansmen cultivate it more; maybe they will gain something from it.
"Oh? Let me see." The elder took the ring and probed it with his divine sense. He was surprised to find a pile of jade slips inside. He hadn't expected that the number of slips she mentioned would actually be dozens.
A moment later, he found the jade slip printed with the 'Water Without Form Sutra'. After reading it, he exclaimed in amazement, "This, this technique is actually very compatible with my clan's technique! Wonderful! So that's how it is!"
The Grand Elder's eyes lit up as he looked at Leng Huan. "What's even more wonderful is that this technique can serve as a prelude to the Taiyin Profound Scroll! It can help practitioners understand the Taiyin Profound Scroll."
He paused, then took out a jade slip from his ring: "By the way, we've finally pieced together the remaining fragments of the second volume. Take a look and see if it's useful. It's a pity, even with all the piecing together, it's still missing something."
Leng Huan took it and read it, finding that two-thirds had been completed, and the remaining one-third was not quite complete, but it was close to being a complete piece.
"Excellent, I can try to comprehend this level." Leng Huan put the jade slip away.
The elder continued, "These are the other two rings, part of your dowry. Here is the gift list, please take a look." He handed over two rings and a stack of gold and red envelopes.
Leng Huan had seen that there were several sets of high-grade magic robes produced by Jinxiu Pavilion, several headscarves made of precious materials, 30,000 high-grade spirit stones, 100,000 mid-grade spirit stones, 5 million low-grade spirit stones, a pile of other high-grade spiritual herbs and materials, several elixirs, and 22 Thousand-Thread Snow Lotus plants cultivated by the Leng family's secret method.
Holy crap! Leng Huan couldn't contain his shock. Was he really going to give this to her?
Is this too much? She felt a little overwhelmed...
Marry her, and the dowry is worth hundreds of millions?
Mixed feelings.
"Grandpa, isn't this too much?" Leng Huan suppressed his greed, put down the ring, and asked hesitantly.
The Thousand-Thread Snow Lotus is a Heavenly-Rank Sacred Medicine that can heal injuries, enhance cultivation, and is also a material for refining various high-level elixirs. Furthermore, due to its unique balancing properties, it can even be used to refine magical artifacts.
The Grand Elder sighed:
“The cultivation tradition has been lost, but there are many classic texts on cultivating spiritual herbs, and our clan has always relied on these things to maintain its operations.”
We are born with water-elemental roots, and water nourishes wood, making the cultivation of spiritual herbs twice as effective. So, don't worry, no matter how down on your luck you are, we will never let you suffer.
Legend has it that during the wedding of the clan's holy maiden, even the spiritual plants used to decorate the hall were top-grade spiritual herbs and flowers, costing millions of high-grade spirit stones, and even some top-grade spirit stones. You're far inferior. Don't worry, even if that person is a Nascent Soul cultivator, we can't be inferior to him!
After saying a long string of words, the Grand Elder told her to put away the ring and slowly took a sip of the spiritual tea.
Leng Huan... is a little envious.
"Then thank you very much, clan, thank you everyone." He said this dryly, and put the ring away at the urging of the elder.
The elder also mentioned that during the wedding ceremony, a different gift list would be used, omitting the Thousand-Thread Snow Lotus, as it was not advisable to reveal it.
Leng Huan said she understood, and after thinking for a moment, she asked, "Grandpa, is our clan really the only one that still exists on the Eastern Sea Continent? Then, are there really no other hidden clans?"
But the elder pondered and said, "It's a long story. About five hundred years ago, there was a clan in the west named Yun. We don't know why they were wiped out. Since then, we have been even more careful and hidden."
The Cloud Clan! They were wiped out five hundred years ago.
Leng Huan touched his forehead. It seemed that there might really be outsiders who knew about the Hidden Clan. The Mysterious Seal couldn't be revealed.
After hesitating for a moment, Leng Huan picked up his teacup, took a sip of water, and said, "Grandpa, actually, Fu Xun is a member of the Yun Clan."
The Grand Elder was taken aback, but quickly recovered. After a moment's thought, he asked, "Are you sure it's true?"
Seeing Leng Huan nod, he asked again, "Why is the surname Fu now? If we have to say, the Yun clan is officially extinct, but it's possible they preserved a few members back then. What a pity..."
“His mother was the last member of the Yun Clan, and his spiritual root talent was suited to the Yun Clan’s cultivation techniques. Fortunately, he inherited the Yun Clan’s legacy.” Leng Huan suddenly realized that such talent was indeed not something the Fu family possessed.
"I see..." The Grand Elder only expressed his regret, feeling a bit of sympathy for his own kind, but he didn't have any further thoughts. Each clan has its own heritage, so there's no need for them to covet others'.
He simply said, "Fu Xun is exceptionally talented. Everyone misjudged him back then. It was only because the Fu family released the news that he had no hope of recovery that the clan decided to break off the engagement. Now, you two have come together after many twists and turns and even have a child. Perhaps it is fate."
