Chapter 6 Su Muyan, the layout of the Penglai Islands.
Upon hearing that he would be helped to choose a Daoist partner, Zhang Xuanbing's expression remained unchanged.
Because it was he who brought this up with his father in the first place.
Three days ago, my younger brother went to Qingniu Town to eavesdrop... He knows everything.
He felt that his younger brother had grown up, but because he, as the older brother, did not yet have a Daoist partner, he was embarrassed to ask his father for help.
Moreover, when my younger brother was twelve years old, he persuaded our father to implement a policy that encouraged childbirth, allowing members of the clan to marry and have children in order to strengthen the Zhang clan.
At the time, I was at a crucial stage in my cultivation and did not participate in this matter.
Now that we've crossed the border, we should naturally respond to the policies that my younger brother is vigorously promoting.
If Zhang Xuanchen knew what Zhang Xuanbing was thinking, he would definitely cry out that he was wronged.
He really only went down the mountain to retrieve that egg.
"Brother wants to find a Daoist partner? Hahaha, that's great! With you taking the lead, I'm sure those uncles and older brothers won't have any more excuses to refuse."
With Third Brother's talent, his child is bound to be extraordinary!
Upon hearing that Zhang Xuanbing was looking for a Daoist partner, Zhang Xuanchen was even more excited than if he were looking for one himself. He immediately sat down next to him, hooked his arm around the other's neck, and smiled broadly.
Seeing his younger brother so excited, Zhang Xuanbing also showed a long-lost smile, it seemed that he had guessed correctly.
Zhang Guangli's first reaction upon hearing that Zhang Xuanbing wanted to find a Daoist partner was disbelief.
Noticing the doting look in the other person's eyes as they looked at Zhang Xuanchen, they instantly understood.
It was specifically to help his younger brother.
However, this is also a good thing for the family. He said with a smile, "It is a good thing for Xuanbing to find a Daoist partner. After all, the higher the cultivation level, the more difficult it is to have offspring."
Since Xuanbing has this intention, she should indeed find a Daoist partner as soon as possible.
However, as the number one genius of the Zhang family, I cannot be careless in finding a Daoist partner.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Xuanchen nodded repeatedly, looked at Zhang Xuanbing, and said:
"Yes, yes, brother, with your talent, if you want to find a Daoist partner, you should at least find a woman with dual spiritual roots. A woman with three spiritual roots simply can't keep up with your pace."
"Tell me, bro, which girl have you got your eye on? Hehehe."
As he spoke, he looked at Zhang Xuanbing with a mischievous grin.
Despite his playful demeanor, he genuinely takes this matter very seriously.
From childhood to adulthood, Zhang Xuanbing has always been very protective of me, and he would always be the first to shield me in times of danger.
His parents would put him in solitary confinement, forcing him to stay in seclusion and not allowing anyone to disturb him. They would also secretly bring him his favorite black horn beef.
Zhang Xuanbing pushed the spiritual tea on the jade table in front of Zhang Xuanchen, and poured a cup for Zhang Hongzhan and Zhang Guangli as well.
He turned to look at his younger brother and chuckled, "As long as it benefits the family and you like it, I like it."
I'll listen to you.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Xuanchen nearly spat out the spiritual tea he had just drunk.
What do you mean by "I like it"? You just like it.
Is that correct?
Should I choose a Daoist partner or should you choose a Daoist partner?
I am so grateful to have such a brother.
In his previous life, he saw an old woman suddenly fall to the ground on the street. Having just graduated from university, he was unaware of the dangers of society and went to help her without hesitation, but was suddenly pulled away.
Then several burly men appeared and surrounded him.
That's when he realized he was being scammed.
In a fit of extreme anger, he suddenly suffered a heart attack and died on the spot.
Hmm, it must be because I did good deeds but didn't get any good reward that I was reborn into the Zhang family in this life.
That's definitely the case.
"Hey bro, it's you who's choosing a cultivation partner, not me."
"I know, but I don't know as much about the family situation as you do. You've been smart since you were little, and I trust your judgment."
These words left Zhang Xuanchen speechless.
He rubbed his chin, thinking about his current situation.
The Penglai Islands cover a vast area.
It has four third-order spiritual veins.
The Zhang family of Xuanxiao Mountain, the Su family of Liuyun Mountain, and the Bihai Immortal Sect of Xuanling Mountain each occupy one of the four Golden Core factions.
The last third-tier spiritual vein was used by the three families to jointly establish Yunhua Immortal City.
The Zhang and Su families each have a Foundation Establishment Peak cultivator stationed in the Immortal City, while the Azure Sea Immortal Sect has a Golden Core Late Stage cultivator.
Because of the two early-stage Golden Core cultivators, a Golden Core True Person was dispatched to oversee the Immortal City.
Correspondingly, the Azure Sea Immortal Sect receives 50% of the annual revenue generated by Cloud Flower Immortal City.
The Zhang and Su families split the remaining 50% equally.
It should be noted that Yunhua Immortal City possesses one third-tier and several second-tier and first-tier spiritual veins, which are also the reason for the forbidden battles within the city.
It is very popular among independent cultivators in the South China Sea Immortal Continent, and they come from all over the world to buy and sell rare and precious materials and stones.
Even more impressively, there are outside Golden Core cultivators and Nascent Soul cultivators coming here to do business.
The annual profits of the Azure Sea Immortal Sect are considerable.
But they have the upper hand, there's nothing you can do about it.
In the century since the first patriarch passed away, he has secretly bribed many of Zhang's affiliated families in order to gradually erode Zhang's assets.
Their wolfish ambitions are obvious.
Like the Zhang family, the Su family only has one ancestor in the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm.
In his memory, the Su family patriarch only had about twenty years left to live, and his days were numbered.
There are no dual-spiritual-root individuals among the younger generation of the clan. The one with the highest talent and who is about the same age as Zhang Xuanbing is Su Muyan, the great-granddaughter of the Su family's eldest elder.
He possesses the three spiritual roots of water, wood, and earth, with no conflicts between them, making him a top-grade individual among the three spiritual roots. We had met several times and spoken a few times in Yunhua Immortal City.
Her looks and figure are undoubtedly excellent, and she doesn't have the temperament of a spoiled princess; she's pretty good in every way.
But ultimately it's only a three-elemental root, far inferior to a heavenly spiritual root.
He said, "Father, brother, I think Wang Ruoyan from the Wang family of Burning Sky Island and Qin Chuxue, the fairy from the Xuandan Sect of Spirit Tide Island, are both good. They are both geniuses with dual spiritual roots."
Although marrying them would require the Zhang family to invest considerable resources, we cannot wrong our eldest brother. Furthermore, we would gain goodwill from the Wang family or the Xuan Dan Sect, so it wouldn't be a loss.
Upon hearing Zhang Xuanchen's words, Zhang Hongzhan smiled and said, "Why isn't Su Muyan from the Su family mentioned?"
Three years ago, your brother saved her life from evil cultivators.
Not only that, he carried her all the way to Liuyun Mountain.
"That's right. They were disheveled at the time. If it weren't for the bloodstains on their bodies, the Su family elders would have taken down your brother on the spot." Zhang Guangli couldn't help but laugh as he mentioned this.
Zhang Xuanchen was stunned: "Wow! I didn't know that! I knew it! Every time I saw Fairy Su in Yunhua Immortal City, she would ask if my Brother Bing was here."
When I mentioned that she looked a little off when I said I was in seclusion, her expression changed.
At the time, I didn't quite understand, but now I finally get it. Brother, you kept this from me for so long!
When Su Muyan was mentioned, Zhang Xuanbing's expression changed noticeably, and her face turned slightly red.
This wouldn't be a big deal for anyone else, but it was Zhang Xuanbing who blushed.
"You were locked in your room in seclusion by your mother at the time, so I didn't tell you. Besides, there's not much to say about this."
Zhang Xuanbing scratched his head, feeling a little embarrassed by the three people staring at him.
To say that he liked Su Muyan wouldn't be accurate, as the two had only met twice in total.
The second time, however, Su Muyan was drugged with aphrodisiacs by those evil cultivators. Although nothing was done, an accident occurred during the incident.
I saw something I shouldn't have seen.
After killing those evil cultivators, he used his pure ice-attribute spiritual power to briefly suppress the aphrodisiac in her body and sent her to Liuyun Mountain.
Compared to a woman he didn't know, Zhang Xuanbing still preferred to marry Su Muyan.
Spiritual roots and aptitude are not important.
Seeing this, Zhang Xuanchen knew exactly what was going on; his older brother clearly had a thing for Fairy Su.
But he still made himself choose a Daoist partner for him, which shows how much he dotes on his younger brother.
Now that we know, we can't be the bad guys; we must help the lovers get married!
He immediately apologized, saying, "Brother, I'm sorry. I didn't know about your relationship with Fairy Su before."
"Since you and Fairy Su are in love, I naturally want you to marry Fairy Su as your Daoist partner. Although she has three spiritual roots, I believe that with your help, her achievements will not be too low."
As for the family, there is no need to worry. Our ancestor is in his prime, and you, brother, will definitely be able to break through to the Golden Core stage within twenty years. Even if the Su family ancestor passes away and there are no new Golden Core cultivators, our Zhang family will not be afraid of the Azure Sea Immortal Sect!
I believe my father and the elders share this view.
Zhang Hongzhan and Zhang Guangli exchanged a glance, both seeing satisfaction in each other's eyes.
A person who cares deeply about the family, understands how to unite its members, and is the perfect choice for future clan leader.
"Hahaha, my Zhang family is not so weak that we need to rely on marriage alliances among our younger generation to gain a foothold."
Moreover, Su Muyan is not as simple as she seems on the surface, you see.
As he spoke, Zhang Hongzhan took out a letter from his storage ring and handed it to Zhang Xuanchen.
It's not as simple as it seems on the surface.
Zhang Xuanchen took the letter with a puzzled look and scanned it with his divine sense.
He exclaimed in shock, "Fairy Su has dual spiritual roots!"
