Chapter 6091 Martial Arts Tournament for Marriage
The streets were bustling with people, the hustle and bustle of street vendors, bargaining, and laughter.
David pondered how to raise funds for the 360 bottles of immortal liquid. Selling the treasures was one option, but most of the god race loot in his storage ring had sensitive origins, and selling them rashly could expose their whereabouts.
Just then, a commotion suddenly occurred up ahead.
“Come here quickly! It’s a martial arts contest to find a husband!”
“Really? Which fairy is looking for a husband?”
“The eldest daughter of the Chen family in the eastern part of the city! You know the Chen family, right? They’re one of the most prominent families in Yunxian City!”
“Come on, let’s see what’s going on!”
A group of monks eagerly rushed towards the eastern part of the city.
David paused for a moment, his gaze following the flow of people.
“A martial arts contest to find a husband?”
He raised his eyebrows slightly. “Such a thing exists in Fourteenth Heaven?”
Liu Qianqian also looked in that direction, a glimmer of realization flashing through her eyes: “That’s the Chen family. The Divine Palace in Yunxian City is relatively weak, and the city’s affairs are mainly managed by two great families. The Chen family is one of them, mainly engaged in the pill business, and has a lot of resources.”
He paused for a moment: “The eldest daughter of the Chen family, Chen Wanqing, is said to be extremely talented, but she has been stuck at the eighth rank of the Upper Immortal Realm for many years without being able to break through. It seems she is looking for a Daoist partner to help her break through to that realm through dual cultivation.”
Mingli suddenly realized: “I see.”
After he finished speaking, he suddenly noticed David’s pensive expression and immediately became alert.
“Mr. Chen,” Ming Li said carefully, “You can’t possibly be thinking…”
David averted his gaze, his expression calm: “Three hundred and sixty bottles of immortal liquid is not a small sum. Selling the treasure is risky, the condensation chamber is too slow, and the mercenary mission will take who knows how long.”
He was silent for a moment, then said, “But if I can become the son-in-law of the Chen family, three hundred bottles of immortal liquid should not be a problem.”
Ming Li’s eyes widened.
Liu Qianqian juga terkejut.
Tuan Chen,
Ming Li asked with difficulty, “You…you went to the martial arts contest to find a husband?”
“Is there any problem?”
“Of course there is a problem!”
Ming Li looked extremely anxious. “Although the temple’s jurisdiction here is relatively weak, it’s still within the temple’s sphere of influence. We’re wanted by the temple!”
“If you go to a martial arts contest to find a husband, what if someone recognizes you? Wouldn’t that be a big problem? We might not be able to go.”
“She’s just a female cultivator. If Master Chen wanted a woman, he could have spent money in the city to find someone who could satisfy his desires.”
David glanced at Ming Li: “…………”
He was helpless; he wasn’t looking for a woman, but Ming Li thought of him that way.
Does he think he is a playboy in the eyes of others?
David didn’t understand. Even though he had several other women, he was often the passive one in situations like this!
Liu Qianqian looked at David, was silent for a moment, then whispered, “Brother, the martial arts contest to find a husband is not an easy matter. Miss Chen has very high standards. Even if you win the contest, it will be in vain if she doesn’t like you.”
She bit her lip, her cheeks slightly flushed: “If… if you only want a woman, you don’t have to take this risk. I…”
He lowered his eyes, his voice barely audible: “I am willing to devote myself to my benefactor, to make him feel completely comfortable…”
David was speechless!
That is not what I mean.
David interrupted and explained, “Miss Liu misunderstood. I participated in the martial arts contest to find a husband only for the elixir of immortality, not for women.”
“If I could marry into the Chen family, I would definitely have more than three hundred bottles of immortality elixir.”
“Besides, if I wanted to flirt with women, they would come to me. Why should I hold a martial arts contest to find a husband?”
David was telling the truth. Dozens of women he’d been with approached him on their own initiative. David never actively pursued any of them!
That’s how it is!
Moreover, if he wants to play around with women, he has the sword spirit Zhongli, which he can summon at any time for an exciting and satisfying fight.
“Oh, I misunderstood my benefactor!”
Liu Qianqian lowered her head.
“Let’s go…” David walked towards the arena!
Ming Li paused for a moment, then quickly followed.
Liu Qianqian stared blankly at David’s retreating figure for a long time, then sighed softly and quickly followed him.
The three of them walked towards the martial arts contest arena.
The three of them walked through the crowd and soon arrived at the city’s East Square.
In the center of the square stood an arena about ten feet high, its surface covered with lapis lazuli and polished smooth as a mirror.
At each of the four corners of the arena stood a white jade pillar over ten feet tall, its body carved with intricate array patterns, and faintly shimmering with spiritual light.
On one side of the arena stood a glass palanquin containing eight treasures. The curtain was drawn, so the faces of the people inside could not be seen.
Eight green-robed maids stood beside the palanquin. Each of them had beautiful faces and a cultivation level of around the fifth rank of the Upper Immortal Realm.
The area below the stage was already filled with people, there were at least three or four hundred cultivators.
There were independent cultivators, descendants of noble families, and passing merchants, all craning their necks to see the arena.
“Why hasn’t anyone come on stage yet?” someone asked impatiently.
“What’s the rush? The stage has only just been set. Miss Chen’s marriage proposal should be carefully considered by any brave and capable hero.”
“What are you hesitating about? Those four pillars are the first test. I heard the Chen family set up these pillars to test one’s true abilities, and there’s no room for pretense.”
“That’s right. Only those who pass two-thirds of the four pillars—eternal strength, immortal strength limit, physical strength, and bloodline strength—are entitled to invite the young lady to dismount. This test alone will likely eliminate 99% of the people.”
David stood in the middle of the crowd, his gaze fixed on the four white jade pillars.
Ming Li leaned closer and asked in a low voice, “Master Chen, can the four pillars really detect these things?”
“capable.”
David said calmly, “This pillar is engraved with a spiritual resonance array, which can transform the immortal power injected by a cultivator into light. The brighter the light, the stronger the ability in that aspect. When the entire pillar is lit up, it means that this aspect has reached its peak.”
Liu Qianqian nodded, “My benefactor has a keen eye. These four pillars are testing artifacts that the Chen family purchased from the temple at a great price. It’s said that there are only three sets in all of Yunxian City.”
The eldest daughter of the Chen family had extremely high standards; ordinary cultivators were nothing to her. Therefore, she set this first hurdle to prevent those who were overconfident from causing trouble.
While they were talking, a commotion broke out among the crowd.
A burly man with broad shoulders and a thick waist pushed his way through the crowd and jumped into the ring.
He was bare-chested, his muscles bulging, and the veins on his arms clearly visible; he was clearly a cultivator skilled in physical training.
“I’ll try!” the burly man said in a deep voice.
