He bowed deeply to Xiaoli again, this time with genuine sincerity.
"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Yu. This is the agreed-upon payment. As for any promises, I am ready to fulfill them at any time."
Zhao Zhijie handed his contact information to Xiaoli and prepared to return to Kunlun.
"Fellow Daoist Zhao, please wait."
Forehead……
"Does Fellow Daoist Yu have any further questions?"
Zhao Zhijie asked politely that the girl's cultivation had improved again. He could feel a pressure that was even greater than that he felt from his ancestor. She had definitely reached the Foundation Establishment stage. He couldn't help but become even more respectful.
"I have some questions I'd like to ask Fellow Daoist Zhao for clarification. I wonder if it's convenient for you?"
"Fellow Daoist Yu, please speak. I will answer all your questions to the best of my knowledge."
The two sat back down on the sofa. Xiao Li picked up the kettle and put in two leaves of the Tianxin tree, a perk she had recently been enjoying.
After decades of growth, the Tianxinmu seedling has finally grown to two meters tall. Now its branches are lush, and its leaves can finally be used to make tea for Xiaoli.
Its leaves contain the laws of the Great Dao, even a tiny amount is enough for Xiao Li to comprehend, not to mention the spiritual energy contained within. Drinking it can calm the mind and concentrate the spirit, which is extremely beneficial to cultivation.
He poured Zhao Zhijie a glass of water and placed it in front of him, then picked up his own teacup and took a sip.
"Please have some tea."
Seeing how much Xiao Li was enjoying her drink, Zhao Zhijie took a sip himself and immediately understood the secret.
He closed his eyes, and after a moment, he found that his consciousness was more solid, and he knew that he had once again benefited from Xiao Li. He felt even more awe in his heart.
Could this person be some kind of unparalleled genius from a powerful family? They're so generous to share such a precious item with him; they're truly wealthy and powerful.
I've never heard of any family having such a young Foundation Establishment female cultivator.
"I would like to know about the current state of cultivation. I wonder if you could tell me?"
Zhao Zhijie breathed a sigh of relief. If she had asked about his family's secrets, he wouldn't know what to do. But with these trivial questions, there was nothing he couldn't tell her.
After two hours of conversation, Xiaoli had a general idea of what was going on. She just didn't know if Zhao Zhijie had hidden anything, or if he was unaware of the situation himself.
A thousand years ago, the spiritual energy of Blue Star was rapidly depleted. Several powerful cultivation families joined forces and used a secret realm to seal their family's sacred land, leaving them with no time to care about the areas outside the sacred land.
Finally, apart from the cultivation families who possessed secret realms, the spiritual energy in other places was completely depleted, and the entire Blue Star entered the Dharma-ending Age. Cultivators gradually disappeared from this world, and were replaced by technological development.
People have gradually forgotten the existence of cultivators. Only a few reclusive cultivation families are still barely surviving. The secret realms are also gradually disappearing. Before long, there may be no more cultivators in this world.
Nowadays, all known cultivation families are in a semi-secluded state, with only a few juniors traveling outside, while most of the cultivation masters have exhausted their lifespans and passed away one by one.
Due to the scarcity of resources, the highest level of Foundation Establishment cultivators are all patriarchs of their families, who rarely venture out into the world, making it extremely difficult for younger generations to achieve Foundation Establishment.
Although Xiao Li had never been to the cultivation world, she still felt a sense of awe. Xiao Jiu described the cultivation world as a place where Nascent Soul cultivators were everywhere and Golden Core cultivators were as common as dogs.
Now, only a few cultivation families remain on Blue Star. Presumably, a thousand years ago, Blue Star was a thriving place, but for some unknown reason, it has become like this.
Xiao Li had a hunch that this might be a conspiracy by some powerful figure. She looked up at the sky for no apparent reason, as if a powerful figure was watching the land with predatory eyes.

"Little Huang, what brings you here? Didn't you go to Honghu to pick lotus pods for me?"
Huang Wenhua's eyes darted around, a little guilty.
"Ah Li, I heard that a customer came today and you personally served him, so I came to check on him."
Xiao Li smiled, clearly worried.
"Let's get married. I think the period around the Mid-Autumn Festival is a good time to take beautiful wedding photos."
"OK."
Huang Wenhua was stunned, his face filled with disbelief.
"What did you say? Marriage? Is it true?"
He was both happy and frustrated. How could he let a girl say those words? He made up his mind: he would have someone set up the proposal scene right away, the kind that would be broadcast live worldwide.
"Yes, I want to put your mind at ease, and also put my mind at ease myself."
Recently, Yu Yanzhi and Anya have been pressuring them to get married, and Huang's parents have been taking turns calling to ask about the wedding date.
The nutrient solution formula has been finalized, and she's been relatively free lately, so she can take a break for a while.
Huang Wenhua carried Xiaoli around several times before carefully putting her down, and then he ran out like the wind.
An hour later, a team of professional stylists arrived at Xiaoli's flower shop. Xiaoli was styled like this and then that, and then this and that...
A Rolls-Royce pulled up in front of the flower shop. Xiao Li, dressed in an extravagant yet dignified little dress, was picked up by Huang Wenhua and taken to the Kyushu Hotel. He had booked the entire 18th floor and the back garden for the night, which was also a property of the Huang family.
The entire Kyushu Hotel covers an area of many square meters and features a lakeside garden with European-style scenery.
Now, the place is decorated with various balloons and roses, candles, and hearts made of LED lights of different colors, while carefully edited short videos play on various large screens.
An archway adorned with flowers and ribbons leads directly to the entrance, with a path covered in petals.
Looking at the elegant and handsome man in front of her, Xiao Li knew very well that she was willing to stay by his side all these years without complaint.
"I do!"
Colorful fireworks lit up the sky and lasted for a long time. On the open space by the lake, food trucks were pushed in one after another, with plates of food neatly arranged. Music started playing, and everyone enjoyed themselves.
Huang Wenhua has already taken Xiaoli to a private room in the hotel restaurant, along with relatives from both families. They have set the wedding date and honeymoon trip for tonight.
Seeing how eager Anya was to marry her off right now, Xiaoli felt both annoyed and amused.
"We're at ease entrusting Xiaoli to you."
Xiaoli was deeply moved. The reason why this world is so full of hope is because of the love of family.
The wedding took place quickly and was a wedding of the century. All the headlines that day were about this scene. Every ten minutes, the live broadcast room sent out red envelopes, each containing one million yuan, and there were also red envelope rains from time to time. In one day, two hundred million yuan was spent just on sending out red envelopes.
Looking at the large screen in the square, Fu Mingqing felt a pang of regret, but even more so, envy. Such a beautiful Xiao Li wasn't blooming for him.
This time, without the Yu family's assets, the Fu family ultimately became marginalized, failing to enter the power center of the main family, and will drift further and further away in the future, fading into obscurity.

After their marriage, the couple moved to a river-view apartment with a large, beautiful garden.
They watched the sunrise and sunset together, planted flowers and brewed tea together, admired the snow and built snowmen together, and strolled through the streets together...
