Chu Shen and Li Jinrong were discussing Fuyuan Ge, while Dantai Zhonggu was also discussing it. Chu Shen was talking to his close friend, Xiong Ye, the sect master of the Yuwang Sect.

"That kid is just a late-stage Foundation Building cultivator. Even if you think highly of him, there's no need to form a marriage alliance, right?"

True to his name, Xiong Ye was a wild man, resembling a bear. Even his clothing was made of bear, black tiger, and leopard fur. His disheveled hair was black and stiff, making him look like a wild man who had come out of the deep mountains.

Dantai Zhonggu, who exuded an air of wealth and prosperity, didn't seem to mind. On the contrary, he had formed a deep friendship with Xiong Ye, which was quite unusual.

"Just because he's only at the Foundation Building stage, he has created a completely new alchemy technique and even has the potential to overturn all previous pill formulas. That's why I want to establish a deeper relationship with him... Ah."

He said with a touch of emotion, "People often say not to underestimate poor young people. In most cases, it's just a joke. One's background often limits the upper limit of most people, forcing them to struggle within the trajectory predetermined by others.

But in every era, there are always a few people who are truly gifted, able to break free from the shackles imposed on them and even have invisible luck and blessings. Even the most formidable opponents cannot defeat them... I think Chu Shen is such a person!"

Upon hearing this, Xiong Ye pinched his chin, which resembled a broom-like beard. "Old friend, aren't you exaggerating? The various sects and factions don't seem to show any signs of a great conflict. Without the turmoil and changes, even the most talented young people can only struggle on their predetermined paths. I trust you even more when you say that you are concerned about the Langxuan Tian Palace behind him."

Upon hearing the mention of the "great conflict," Dantai Zhonggu fell into a daze.

That was the synonymous term for the most chaotic and terrifying era in the cultivation world, a time when all kinds of contradictions erupted and calamities occurred. Every certain period of time, there would always be a new one for various reasons.

The rise of Fuyuan Ge, in a sense, also took advantage of the wind of the previous great conflict. With the endless battles and killings among the various sects and forces, the demand for pills skyrocketed, which gave the opportunity to the generation of his grandfather and ultimately laid the foundation for the present-day Fuyuan Ge.

"That's not necessarily true."

Do you know that under the rule of the Great Yan Immortal Dynasty, even ordinary people have started to overcome their fear of cultivators and rise up in rebellion?

Do you know that the Great Tang Immortal Dynasty is in decline and has resorted to marriage alliances to buy time?

Do you know that war between the Great Qian Immortal Dynasty and the Tianjian Emperor Dynasty is inevitable?

And many more, do you think the chaos among the various immortal and emperor dynasties in the mortal realm is just their own internal conflicts?

Even the demon race and various barbarian tribes are restless, and the world is on the brink of great turmoil. We must prepare early!

Xiong Ye frowned, "What you're saying does seem a bit off."

His rough appearance did not mean he lacked knowledge and thoughts, nor did he lack education. In fact, any sect with some background would have various records and analysis on the era of great strife in the cultivation world for the learning of its members.

Therefore, Xiong Ye was well aware that in the history of the cultivation world, it was rarely the sects themselves that initiated the era of great strife, but rather the immortal and emperor dynasties supported by the sects.

"A few days ago, outside Mount Fumu, the Zhu Jing ship of the Great Yan Immortal Dynasty was even intercepted by the rebels. Do you still think this is a sign of peace and tranquility?" Tan Zhongguwen brought up an incident.

Xiong Ye also knew about this matter, "If that's the case, it does seem like a sign of the return of the era of great strife, but did you make this bet too early? Or did you lose face by sending her to be a concubine?

Or perhaps you don't actually want to marry Li Yue, but want someone to take her place?"

As time went on, he seemed to understand his friend's routine.

The direct descendants of the Dantai family were not prosperous. Dantai Zhonggu, currently at the Gold Core stage of cultivation, was over three hundred years old and had seven or eight sons and daughters, most of whom were born before the Foundation Building stage. There was even a son who, due to innate defects, had difficulty reaching the Foundation Building stage and had already passed away peacefully over a hundred years ago.

Among his children now, only Dantai Liyue was born relatively late, at the age of sixteen.

When an old tree blossoms, the young child naturally receives more indulgence, especially since this Dantai Liyue is knowledgeable, gentle, and has good aptitude. At such a young age, she has already completed the Foundation Building stage. Xiong Ye didn't believe that his old friend would marry off such a precious gem or send her to be a concubine.

Therefore, it must be someone from the younger generation or even the great-granddaughter's generation who would be chosen for a marriage alliance. Perhaps even a suitable relative could be chosen from among the family's maidservants and then dressed up and married off.

Unexpectedly, Xiong Ye, who thought he had guessed his old friend's thoughts, saw hesitation on Dantai Zhonggu's face and said, "I don't know, I haven't thought about it yet."

"You haven't thought about it at all?" Xiong Ye was extremely surprised.

Dantai Zhonggu sighed and said, "At first, it was indeed as you thought, just find a goddaughter and send her over. After all, the Dantai family also has some face to maintain. But it's a bit hard to bear to send our children and grandchildren to someone else as concubines."

... Seeking flowers... 0

"But after careful consideration, I hesitated again. Can a forced marriage really bind that young person, especially with his talent and ability? Who knows how far he will develop in the future?"

It's hard to say. If we just go through the motions, it won't be a marriage, but a grudge."

"But you can't bear to send Lixue over." Xiong Ye understood his old friend's dilemma, but he was still surprised by his high regard for Chu Shen.

"So I thought, finding a good candidate among the younger generation seems possible. Regardless, they would still be blood relatives of the Dantai family. That Chu kid should still consider the relationship, right?"

Xiong Ye nodded. "After hearing what you said, I also think it's possible."

Dantai Zhonggu sighed. "But who should we send? You know about the situation at Fuyuan Pavilion. My sons and daughters are all trying to establish their own factions. If we give them this external force, even if I can control them for now, what about the future?"

"That won't work, this won't work. How about Lixue?" Xiong Ye also had a fondness for the Dantai family's youngest daughter. It was the kind of fondness that comes from being an elder. Naturally, he didn't want her to have an uncertain future.

Being given as a concubine is not a good thing at all.

Dantai Zhonggu smiled bitterly. "If we really consider it, Lixue is the most suitable. She is my own daughter, close enough and obedient. She will definitely keep Chu Shen's thoughts tied to the Dantai family and not betray us."

Unlike those other unfilial children who have ambitions and form factions everywhere, causing chaos in Fuyuan Pavilion.

But being a concubine, and still carrying the title of my wife's family's orphaned daughter, she can't even maintain her identity as a daughter of the Dantai family. It's really unfair to her!"

Xiong Ye also felt sorry for his old friend. If only Chu Shen didn't take so many concubines and didn't have an unmarried fiancée, it wouldn't be so difficult for everyone. He couldn't help but scratch his head. "This kid really is a headache!"

What's even more troublesome is that the next day, Chu Shen went out again to demonstrate a new pill formula, making Dantai Zhonggu even more unable to estimate his value...
