56: Chapter 56 The Grand Opening Ceremony! Six More Concubines!

His heart warmed slightly. He coughed lightly and said to Ye Tian, who was studying the bean as if he couldn't put it down:

"Little Ye Tian, go find a good place with abundant Spiritual Qi and plant the bean. Once you've planted it, go play at your Aunt Shiqing's place for a while. Your father and mother have something to discuss."

Having received his new treasure, Ye Tian was itching with excitement. Upon hearing this, he immediately nodded like a pounding pestle: "Okay! I'm going right now!"

After speaking, he clutched the bean and hopped and skipped away.

The moment the little guy left the courtyard gate, Ye Changge lowered his head and accurately captured Liu Yiyi's two soft, delicate lips.

"Mmm..." Liu Yiyi let out a soft moan, not expecting Ye Changge to be so impatient.

A seductive, muffled sound escaped from her petite, exquisite nose. Her body instantly went soft, and her arms involuntarily wrapped around Ye Changge's neck, responding enthusiastically.

When it came to matters between men and women, she was no longer that innocent young girl. Under Ye Changge's tireless guidance, she knew how to please him.

After a brief, deep kiss, her breathing was slightly disordered, her cheeks flushed like rosy clouds. Leaning on Ye Changge's shoulder, she panted, her breath smelling like orchids as she said: "Husband... let's go back to the room..."

Ye Changge chuckled, swept the petite and exquisite Liu Yiyi up into his arms, and strode towards the inner chamber. The curtains hung down gently, and the spring atmosphere in the room gradually thickened.

Time passed like a white horse galloping past a crevice; in the blink of an eye, several more months had passed. In these few months, Ye Changge could be said to have been diligently "plowing," working day and night without stopping.

However, after Foundation Establishment, his Physique had transformed, making it much harder for his wives and concubines to conceive than during the Qi Refining stage. But once they did conceive, the Spiritual Root talent of the offspring was naturally better than before.

One after another, several more concubines came to announce the good news with blushing faces, among them the newly joined Su Wan. She was a newcomer, with a gentle and shy personality, so Ye Changge took extra care of her, often visiting her courtyard to sit and talk, and occasionally having some "in-depth exchanges."

On this day, Ye Changge rose early. As the morning light just began to dawn, the main peak of Longmai Mountain, "Changge Hall," was already brightly lit with moving shadows. Today was the Founding Ceremony of the Ye Family of Longmai Mountain, and also the day of his grand wedding.

Lu Shiyin had been brought over yesterday and was currently inside the hall putting on her makeup. Ye Changge wore a luxurious red robe with a black base and gold patterns, his waist bound by a jade belt. Releasing his aura, he stood at the mountain gate to welcome guests, naturally possessing the demeanor of a great Family.

"Old Ancestor Wang of Xuanwu Mountain, arrives—!" "Old Ancestor Li of Black Water Pool, arrives—!" "Zhou Family of White Cloud Stream..." The names were called out one after another, as streaks of light descended, and guests arrived in an endless stream.

Compared to Ye Changge's Second-Rank Talisman Master celebration back then, over a dozen Foundation Establishment Old Ancestors had come today! Seeing Ye Changge, who was high-spirited and had the Spiritual Pressure of Foundation Establishment faintly circulating at the mountain gate, everyone was secretly shocked: "He really did reach Foundation Establishment... how old is he?"

What was even more eye-catching was the unusually large number of young female Cultivators brought by each Family. Each one had elegant hair and flower-like faces, their skirts fluttering. The moment they saw Ye Changge, their eyes seemed to fill with spring water, secretly drifting towards him.

Looking at Ye Changge, he had sword-like eyebrows and star-like eyes, a high nose bridge, a smile at the corners of his lips, and calm manners. His temperament after Foundation Establishment was already refined, and coupled with the subtle influence of the Jade Purity Beauty Cultivation Art and the peach blossom gu, he was even more handsome, enough to make one's heart tremble.

For a time, many young girls were dazed, their cheeks slightly flushed, their hearts rippling. "Is this Ancestor Ye? He really is young and handsome..." "I heard he reached Foundation Establishment at only twenty-something, he truly is a Ye Tian-sent talent..." "I wonder if he will take more concubines today..."

Ye Changge smiled and greeted them one by one, feeling secretly pleased in his heart. The guests had mostly arrived, and the great hall was bustling with excitement, with a constant buzzing of discussions.

"Did you hear? Today is not only the Founding Ceremony, but also Ancestor Ye's wedding!" "Which girl is so lucky this time? Although Ancestor Ye has many concubines, he only has two legitimate wives so far, right?"

Many young girls brought by their elders quietly clenched their sleeves, fantasizing in their hearts. If they could be noticed by him at this ceremony and taken as a legitimate wife, that would be great...

The auspicious time arrived, and the ceremonial music began. Ye Changge stepped on the red carpet and slowly ascended the main stage. His gaze swept over the crowded guests below, and he said in a clear voice:

"Fellow Daoists, today is the Founding Ceremony of my Ye Family of Longmai Mountain. Thank you all for giving me face and coming!" His voice was clear and, imbued with spiritual power, it spread throughout the entire venue, which immediately fell silent.

"Today is the Founding Ceremony of my Ye Family of Longmai Mountain. The Ye Family is established here, and we wish to live in harmony with all Fellow Daoists, exchange what we have for what we lack, and develop together."

He paused, then continued: "My Ye Family of Longmai Mountain adheres to a path of peaceful development. We do not actively provoke trouble, but we are also never afraid of it. We wish to join hands with surrounding families to seek the Dao together."

After finishing the conventional words, waves of applause and cheers erupted from below. "Good!" "Ancestor Ye is magnanimous!"

Ye Changge chuckled inwardly, knowing that most of these people below probably hadn't listened to a word, but conventional words still had to be said. He coughed lightly, and his voice suddenly became a bit gentler:

"Today is not only the joy of my Longmai Mountain's founding, but also a great joyous event in my, Ye's, life. I will be taking a Dao Companion, Lu Shiyin."

Before the words had even faded, the great doors opened. A beautiful figure dressed in a phoenix coronet and rosy cape, supported by two maids, stepped in gracefully. Her hair was piled high, her bead curtain swayed gently, her brows and eyes were like a painting, and her temperament was elegant and refined. There was a touch of charm within her dignity, as if a Fairy of the Nine Heavens had descended to the mortal world. It was none other than Lu Shiyin.

After Foundation Establishment, under the nourishment of Ye Changge's "Yin Yang Origin," her Dao Foundation had reached a flawless quality, and she appeared even more elegant and otherworldly, stunningly beautiful. Every step she took seemed to bloom with lotus flowers, and her demeanor was graceful in every way.

This caused a low gasp to erupt from below. "That is... Lu Shiyin of Qingmao Mountain?!" "Damn it, the hatred of stealing one's wife is irreconcilable!" "Isn't she the Foundation Establishment seed of the Lu Family's generation? How could she be marrying?!" "Wait... she has reached Foundation Establishment!!"

Discerning Cultivators had already noticed the thick and pure Foundation Establishment Spiritual Pressure on her, and their expressions changed one after another. "Not just Foundation Establishment... this Dao Foundation fluctuation is at least a High Grade Dao Foundation!"

A female Foundation Establishment Cultivator! In the Cultivation World, the higher one goes, the fewer women there are. Especially a woman like Lu Shiyin, who had such outstanding talent and peerless beauty! Many male Cultivators' eyes revealed envy, and even jealousy. What kind of charm did this Ancestor Ye possess to be able to take a female Foundation Establishment Cultivator as a wife?

Those Family elders who had brought their daughters were now even more regretful: If they had known that even the Lu Family was willing to marry off their Foundation Establishment seed, they should have brought more of their own legitimate daughters!

... The ceremony was lively for several days. Towards the end came the "concubine-taking segment" that Ye Changge was most looking forward to.

This time, there were quite a few eligible young women brought by the various families, some plump, some slender, each with their own unique beauty. Ye Changge did not stand on ceremony; he carefully checked their Spiritual Roots and their backgrounds. He selected six women with Spiritual Roots of the seventh grade or higher, and whose appearance and figures were excellent, and announced in public that he was taking them as concubines.

The selected women were all visibly overjoyed, while those who were not chosen could not hide their disappointment. Although it was just being taken as a concubine, those six young girls were already overjoyed. After all, among so many women present, they were the only ones chosen.
