Several months have passed in the blink of an eye.
All the taxes from the entire Dongyue Domain have been collected and stored in the City Lord's Treasury. The Dongyue Domain now only nominally belongs to the Futu Palace, but in reality it already belongs to him. Therefore, there is no need to pay 50% of the taxes anymore.
Gao Yan took the ledger, glanced at it, and nodded in satisfaction. This year, the entire Dongyue Domain provided him with 2300 trillion in tax revenue.
This caused his earnings to surpass 2000 trillion again, reaching 2374 trillion.
As for the total number of immortal stones, it has increased by trillions, reaching trillions.
The system is currently at level 119, and the current earnings are just enough to level up.
"System, upgrade!"
"Ding! System upgrade has begun. Upgrade time is 24 hours. Please wait patiently!"
After closing the system interface, Gao Yan silently calculated the days. There was less than a month left until the time he had agreed to meet Zhao Xianyue.
He had already prepared the betrothal gifts.
One seventh-grade immortal pill, three sixth-grade immortal pills, and one superior-grade immortal treasure.
This betrothal gift is exceptionally generous, not to mention marrying Zhao Xianyue, who is only at the ninth level of the Golden Immortal realm, it would be exceptionally generous even if it were to marry a Taiyi Immortal.
The next day.
After the system upgrade was completed, Gao Yan received another god-level lottery and 2000 evolution points.
"System, activate the lottery!"
He issued a high-ranking order.
"Ding! God-level lottery activated!"
"Ding! Congratulations, host, you have won the White Emperor Dharma Form, a divine power that comes with the Five Emperors Immortal Scripture. The prize has been sent to your system space. Please check it yourself!"
The next moment, Gao Yan had a jade slip in his hand, and at the same time, a piece of information appeared in his mind.
He decisively chose to merge, and soon after, his brain child gained an extra supernatural talisman!
The White Emperor's Dharma Image, when paired with the Five Emperors' Immortal Scripture, is an amplification technique that increases speed fivefold when used.
"Not bad, Gao Yan is quite satisfied with this supernatural power!"
Moreover, since the White Emperor's Dharma Image was drawn this time, it's highly likely that other Dharma Images will be drawn next time.
It is worth mentioning.
The required reward value for upgrading has increased once again, now reaching 500 trillion per level.
Two more days passed.
Gao Yan's release of the Floating Pagoda Token from his storage ring caused a commotion!
"Could it be that my cheap master has emerged from seclusion?"
Upon taking out the Floating Pagoda Token, Gao Yan discovered that it wasn't his cheap master, Shen Ye, who had sent him the message, but rather Zhao Xianyue.
Zhao Xianyue: Junior brother, I've emerged from seclusion. Not only have I broken through to the ninth level of the Golden Immortal realm, but my Immortal Soul has also reached the peak of the ninth level of the Golden Immortal realm ahead of schedule.
Gao Yan: Congratulations, Senior Sister!
Zhao Xianyue: Just congratulations?
Gao Yan: Does Senior Sister want a congratulatory gift?
Zhao Xianyue: No, junior brother, have you forgotten something?
Gao Yan: Really? I don't remember.
Zhao Xianyue: Gao Yan, do you want to die?!
Gao Yan: Haha, senior sister, I was just kidding you. I've already prepared the betrothal gifts. Now that you've come out of seclusion to propose, I'm going to go and propose to my future father-in-law right now!
Zhao Xianyue: Hmph, don't shout nonsense. My father might not agree to your marriage proposal!
Gao Yan: Dare to disagree? Otherwise, I'll just snatch you back, and that way I can save a lot on the bride price!
The two talked for a full hour before they finished!
Afterwards, Gao Yan summoned Ning Xuanyin and Han Zhongze, and asked them to each lead a team of Xuanxian to the Floating Pagoda Palace to propose marriage!
So, half an hour later.
Three celestial ships soared into the sky and headed straight for the Floating Pagoda Palace!
Worried that Zhao Xianyue would have to wait too long, Gao Yan immediately increased the speed of the three immortal ships.
Therefore, half a day is enough time.
The three celestial ships arrived outside the city of Futu.
After putting away the immortal boat, Gao Yan led two teams of Xuanxian into the city.
Inside a teahouse near the city gate, upon seeing Gao Yan enter the city, a woman immediately transformed into a streak of light and rushed towards the Zhao residence!
"Miss, Miss, the young master has come to propose marriage!"
"Nonsense! It's not even close to being settled yet, you're not allowed to call him son-in-law!" Zhao Xianyue said somewhat shyly, "By the way, where is my father? Is he at home?"
"It seems the master is on duty inside the palace!"
"Then why don't you go and call him back right now!" Zhao Xianyue said irritably.
"Miss, don't worry, I'll go and fetch the master back right away!"
The personal maid winked at Zhao Xianyue and then ran off quickly!
After entering Futu City, Gao Yan did not go to the Zhao residence immediately.
Instead, he found a restaurant to settle down in, and then wrote a letter and had it delivered to the Zhao residence!
This is, after all, a marriage proposal, so the proper etiquette cannot be omitted!
On the other side.
Zhao Mengzhen was also summoned back to the mansion by Zhao Xianyue's personal maid, but she was somewhat confused.
It wasn't until a servant handed him a visiting card that he showed a thoughtful expression: "Could this young man be here to propose marriage?"
He already knew that the boy and his daughter had gone to the Xuanbing Plateau together.
Unexpectedly, their relationship progressed so quickly.
The thought of his daughter, whom he had raised for so many years, getting married made him feel a little unhappy!
"Hmph, even if you have the protection of a ninth-level Taiyi Immortal, it won't be so easy for you to marry my daughter!"
The next day.
Gao Yan led his men to the Zhao residence.
Led by the butler, we arrived at a side hall of the mansion.
Looking at Zhao Mengzhen, who was sitting upright, Gao Yan bowed slightly and said, "Nephew Gao Yan greets Uncle."
"No need for formalities, Junior Nephew Gao, please have a seat!"
Zhao Mengzhen said calmly.
After they were seated, celestial servants served them celestial tea.
"Junior Brother Gao, what brings you here today?" Zhao Mengzhen asked knowingly.
