Li Mu's wedding is still going on; it's another day that's been arranged by others.
Both he and Lin Hongluan are quiet people who prefer quiet to activity.
In their minds, getting a marriage certificate is all that matters; everything else is just a formality.
Li Mu was reluctant to accept this sense of ritual, but it was all in vain.
Since we live in this world, we must have a sense of ritual, because it is also a way to comfort both sets of parents.
Marriage is a matter between two people, but a wedding involves a whole group of people.
He preferred the simple and casual way of becoming a Daoist couple with Yue Ling, but he didn't know that Yue Ling actually had regrets in her heart.
Yue Ling had no parents, no family, and no friends; he was all alone at the time.
A cup of nuptial wine and a pair of red candles witnessed the union of the two.
Lin Hongluan's parents are still alive, and Li Mu now has his second uncle, who treats him like his own son.
Therefore, the wedding preparations, which lasted for more than 20 days, left him feeling somewhat exhausted.
It has to be said that sometimes, you don't just live for yourself, but also for others.
As witnesses to your growth, the involvement of your parents and elders should not be overlooked.
That's why Li Mu patiently followed the wedding emcee's instructions.
Now that we've reached the wedding banquet stage, let's just hang in there and it will pass.
As the emcee began to speak, the banquet hall fell silent.
As the music began, Lin Yuhang walked onto the stage with his daughter and solemnly placed Lin Hongluan's slender hand into Li Mu's.
The newlyweds exchanged rings.
Bow to Heaven and Earth, bow to your parents, and bow to each other.
The two drank the nuptial wine in full view of everyone.
Modern wedding ceremonies have omitted the step of escorting the bride to the bridal chamber.
They seem to only care about arranging marriages, while the actual sex becomes something they arrange themselves.
.
On this day, Li Hongjun became the busiest person.
Holding a gourd of wine and a wine cup, he led the young couple among the dozens of tables of guests, full of pride and arrogance.
He drank the medicinal wine that Li Mu had prepared for him, cup after cup, without worrying at all about getting drunk.
What puzzled everyone was that the gourd was like a large vat, and the wine inside could never be poured out completely.
It may look like a small gourd, but it holds a lot of secrets inside.
Cheng Yishi helped find two old wineries and bought seventy or eighty tons of raw liquor at a high price, which was all stored in gourds.
Not only that, the cunning Cheng Yishi, following Li Mu's prescription, also secretly brewed several tons of medicinal wine.
Li Mu wanted to remind his second uncle that this medicinal wine wasn't meant to be drunk this way, but he couldn't stop his second uncle's enthusiasm.
Master Li's words contained everything.
I'm happy today.
Helpless, Li Mu could only occasionally channel a wisp of spiritual energy into him from behind to counteract the effects of the alcohol.
The father and son, holding their wine glasses, completed the game, each drinking over sixty glasses.
Some of Li Hongjun's old friends, who didn't believe the gourd contained wine, asked for a large cup and got drunk on the spot.
The wedding concluded successfully amidst a lively and joyous atmosphere.
Most of the guests had left, but the martial arts practitioners remained in the hotel.
These people were led by Cao Changyun, the martial arts director of Xiang Tianhong Sect, the president of the Martial Arts Association.
They all wanted to find out about the Inner Hidden Sect through Li Mu.
.
The newlyweds finally moved into their new home amidst a flurry of activity, and after a period of commotion, the house returned to peace.
Looking at the now quiet and deserted room, Li Mu breathed a sigh of relief; this major event in his life was finally accomplished.
After getting rid of the smell of alcohol, he took a shower and regained his composure.
When Lin Hongluan went to wash up, he noticed two red envelopes on the coffee table.
Inside was a card given to him by his second uncle. Li Mu recognized the card and tried to refuse it several times, but he couldn't get it back.
The other red envelope contained a car key, part of Lin Hongluan's dowry—a sports car worth over a million yuan.
Li Mu didn't take these things to heart.
In his mind's eye, he could sense that he would take Lin Hongluan away from this world to pursue the path to immortality.
These worldly things have become less important to them.
When he was with Lin Hongluan, apart from cultivation, he didn't spend much on food, drink, or other necessities; money became truly external to them.
Lin Hongluan has even stopped her cultivation in order to have a child, which makes him feel helpless.
After the two got married, many things changed, and whether they could have a child soon was something they could only let nature take its course.
He might need to spend some time with Lin Hongluan, and later he will also do some things he needs to do.
He will go to the outer realms of the divine land as soon as possible, because Yue Ling is still waiting for him there.
Currently, only Lin Hongluan knows of Yue Ling's existence, and he doesn't know how to bring it up with others.
Even if Lin Hongluan tacitly acknowledged Yue Ling's existence, Li Mu didn't feel comfortable asking her what she was really thinking.
He hasn't figured out how to properly arrange for the three of them to live together.
After all, just thinking about how the world will view this matter is terrifying; public opinion is a powerful force.
Whether it's bringing Yue Ling out or taking Lin Hongluan to the outer realms of Shenzhou, it needs to be discussed in advance.
While Li Mu was still thinking about random things, Lin Hongluan had already finished washing up.
On this wedding night, the proper rituals must be observed, and the necessary procedures must continue.
.
The next day.
When Li Mu arrived at the hotel, he didn't recognize most of the martial arts guests, but the gifts they brought were quite expensive.
It is impolite not to reciprocate, so he felt obligated to express his gratitude.
After exchanging pleasantries, Li Mu recounted his observations and experiences regarding the distant lands of China.
He didn't exaggerate or hide anything; everything was based on the facts.
When they heard that the martial arts strength of Shenzhou was a level higher than that of the outside world, the martial artists fell silent.
Everyone wants to become the strongest, but due to realities and the training environment, they have no choice but to accept their fate.
When Xiang Tianhong took out several rare ores to exchange for pills from Li Mu, the eyes of the crowd lit up again.
The martial artists from various sects were all getting restless.
The fact that Li Muneng could refine elixirs is now an open secret.
The benefits of the elixir were fully demonstrated by the improvement in the strength of the Cheng family of Xishan and the martial artists of Zongwu Department.
Nowadays, in addition to consistent cultivation, the aid of elixirs is also a factor in becoming stronger.
As for obtaining the elixir, there is no other way but through Li Mu.
Li Mu could provide the pills, but he would need to exchange them for equivalent resources.
With his current strength at the mid-stage of the ninth level of Qi Refining, he is not worried about someone advancing to a higher level and then killing him.
On the contrary, he had previously considered helping some people improve their strength in order to maintain the balance between Chinese martial arts and Shenzhou martial arts.
After all, both he and Lin Hongluan have relatives living here, and once he leaves, the affairs of martial arts will have to be maintained by these people.
He didn't want to see anything like the attack on Lin Hongluan again.
