115: Chapter 115 Heading to Longxi

Of course, the marriage contract was indispensable.

Both parties had to sign and affix their seals on the marriage contract, specifying the betrothal gifts and dowry.

Only after everything was ready could the marriage contract be considered complete.

After both sides signed the marriage contract, Pei Tianrong was beaming, the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes deepening due to his smile.

Next came some tedious procedures.

It was not until nightfall that the Pei Clan grounds finally quieted down.

Meanwhile, Pei Tianrong called his precious son into the study and said earnestly, "Lier, now that you have set the engagement with Qi Yanran, you must shoulder your responsibilities and treat the young lady well. Remember, you must not act on your own whims anymore."

Pei Sili nodded powerlessly, "I know."

He certainly wanted to act on his whims.

But could he?

Thinking about his future life.

It was simply...

...

On the other side.

Pei Qingyun had returned to the clan grounds. As the eldest elder of the Family, he had made a brief appearance for the Pei Clan's young Clan Chief's engagement.

Inside the ancestral house.

Pei Qingyun circulated his Cultivation Technique while feeling the changes in his Yang Force.

After bringing three Cultivation Techniques to Perfection, he did not go to Cultivate any new ones; the main reason was that the cost-effectiveness of Yellow-grade Cultivation Techniques was too low.

After the marriage alliance with the Qi Family, the Family Luck had also increased to a certain extent.

However, the growth rate was not high, equivalent to only two days of natural restoration of Family Luck.

Besides that, the Breakthroughs of two newly added Five Viscera Realm and Divine Strength Realm clansmen had also driven changes in the Family Luck.

During this period, all the increased Family Luck that Pei Qingyun gained had been added to his Cultivation.

This had caused the Yang Force within his body to undergo four transformations.

According to the memories of his predecessor, once the Yang Force undergoes three transformations, a Five-Viscera Martial Artist can break through to the Six Bowels Realm.

Yet, he had already completed three transformations, and on top of that, added one more.

But he still had not broken through to the Six Viscera Grandmaster realm.

Opening the attribute panel, Pei Qingyun checked his own information.

[Name: Pei Qingyun]

[Lifespan: 9 years and 10 months]

[Cultivation: Five Viscera Realm Perfection (1580 / 2000)]

[Cultivation Technique: Pei Family Evergreen Art Perfection (Yellow-grade Peak), Thousand Blade Slash Perfection (Yellow-grade High-tier), Blazing Sun Art Perfection (Yellow-grade Peak)]

[Family Luck: 30 (600) (Note: Family Luck can be restored, with 30 points naturally restored every day.)]

"According to the prompt on the Cultivation panel, when my Five Viscera Realm Cultivation is completely at Perfection, the Yang Force will undergo at least one more transformation."

"Could it be that the saying that three Yang Force transformations can achieve the Six Viscera Grandmaster realm is a sham?"

According to the predecessor's memory, three Yang Force transformations must lead to becoming a Six Viscera Grandmaster.

This was the consensus among the Five-Viscera Martial Artists of Jinhuai Prefecture.

It was unlikely to be wrong on this point.

Moreover, the Pei Clan had produced Six Viscera Grandmasters in the past.

At that time, that ancestor had also broken through to the Six Viscera Grandmaster realm only after the Yang Force had undergone three transformations.

If this statement was true, then his current situation could not be false.

Thinking it over, Pei Qingyun thought it might be because the arrival of the attribute panel had caused unknown changes to his body.

Or perhaps, there was some secret he did not know about.

Since he couldn't find the answer, Pei Qingyun was not a person to get to the bottom of things.

"Forget it, I'll take it one step at a time. However, it is also time to go to the main Family in Longxi. In half a month, I will be able to break through to the Six Viscera Grandmaster realm; if I don't have a Profound-grade Cultivation Technique, it will be somewhat troublesome." Thinking of this, Pei Qingyun made a decision in his heart.

Through the dim candlelight, his deep eyes looked toward the distant Longxi Prefecture.

Longxi Prefecture was a full two thousand li away from Jinhuai Prefecture.

If traveling alone by horse, even with a steed possessing the Bloodline of a strange beast, it would theoretically take at least seven days.

In reality, the time required would far exceed seven days.

Not to mention how winding this journey of over two thousand li was. Just the fact that the steed with the Bloodline of a strange beast needed to rest would delay things for some time.

Not to mention that Pei Qingyun could not choose to ride alone; that would be too tiring.

Although his body could withstand it, as a dignified Old Ancestor of a clan, he couldn't possibly look for hardship where none existed.

Unless his brain had short-circuited.

The transportation in this world was too underdeveloped; long-distance travel was basically done via horses and passenger boats.

Of course, even many modes of transportation from modern society would not be applicable in this world.

The terrain and roads alone restricted many things.

Of course, it was also possible that this was just how it was in the various provinces, prefectures, and counties governed by the Great Jing Dynasty.

The world outside might not be like this.

Even when he first went to Jinhuai Prefecture City, Pei Qingyun had thought that it would be better if there were a faster way to travel.

To create modern products with his bare hands, he did not have that ability.

Some simple things could be made, but most were not practical.

However, regarding breeding, Pei Qingyun felt that it was one direction.

But after understanding it, he temporarily chose to give up this option.

The probability of a successful offspring from breeding ordinary horses with strange beasts was too low, and it was not necessarily a superior breed.

He had been in this world for too short a time and simply had no time to experiment.

Perhaps in the future, he could consider this direction.

...

The next day, early morning.

Every time Pei Qingyun returned to the ancestral house, Pei Tianrong would come to pay his respects.

Therefore, Pei Qingyun informed Pei Tianrong of the news that he was going to the Pei Clan in Longxi.

Pei Tianrong said in surprise, "Old Ancestor, your trip to Longxi this time will be arduous, and the round trip will take over a month. Would you like to let Pei Kong accompany you? Having someone to look after you on the road will be more convenient."

In fact, Pei Tianrong himself wanted to go too.

As the head of a branch Family, Pei Tianrong also held a glimmer of yearning for the main Family.

It was just that since the Old Ancestor was going, he had to stay and guard the clan grounds.

As for letting Pei Kong go along, it was partly to help Pei Qingyun with odd jobs.

In case they encountered some petty thieves on the road, the Old Ancestor shouldn't have to take action personally.

These miscellaneous tasks could just be handed over to Pei Kong to handle.

Besides that, as the strongest person of the younger generation, it was necessary for Pei Kong to accompany the Old Ancestor to see the main Family and broaden his horizons.

In the future, if the Wuyang Pei Clan established a good relationship with the Longxi main Family, the Old Ancestor could not personally attend to everything.

Pei Qingyun didn't think that much and said directly, "Then let Pei Kong come with me."

"Before we set off tomorrow, prepare some gifts. Prepare some for all age groups, with a value of around one hundred thousand taels; I want to take them with me to Longxi."

Pei Tianrong nodded, "Understood. The Old Ancestor is still the most thoughtful."

The two families were one body over a hundred years ago, but they hadn't been in contact for so many years.

Even the Grandmaster of Meridians had mostly passed away.

Paying a visit for the first time, he naturally could not go empty-handed.

Pei Qingyun waved his hand, signaling, "Alright, hurry up and prepare."

Pei Tianrong replied, "Yes."
