104: Take a concubine, and thousands of guests will come to visit!

Chapter 104: Taking a Concubine, Guests Arrive!

Next, Burning Flame Ancestor performed a series of incantations in front of Lu Chuan, cautioning him: "As a treasured heirloom of our clan, the Three Thousand Burning Flame Fire has long been imprinted with blood-soul marks by generations of powerful experts. Even an ordinary Dou Sheng cannot refine it."

He did not say this out of kindness, but merely to prevent Lu Chuan from becoming enraged if he failed to refine the Nine Dragon Thunder Flame.

Lu Chuan continued walking, and as the gate closed, only his voice slowly drifted out, saying, "Thank you."

Burning Flame Ancestor's mouth twitched. Thank him!?

If it weren't for you almost starting a fight, no one would let you refine the Nine Dragon Thunder Flame!

A clan's heirloom is no laughing matter.

If the Nine Dragon Thunder Flame hadn't already been imprinted with blood-soul marks by the past powerful experts of Burning Flame Valley, Burning Flame Ancestor would never have allowed a strange Dou Sheng to get so close to their inherited Heavenly Flame.

After so many generations of Burning Flame Valley experts' soul imprints, the blood-soul mark on the Nine Dragon Thunder Flame was already incredibly strong, impossible for an ordinary Dou Sheng to shake. This was also why Burning Flame Ancestor felt confident letting Lu Chuan enter.

Unfortunately, reality differed from Burning Flame Ancestor's expectations. After Lu Chuan entered the inheritance ground, the blood-soul imprints attached to the Nine Dragon Thunder Flame were simply no match for his late Heaven Realm soul power.

Golden flames surged before Lu Chuan, and faintly, nine silver dragonets could be seen weaving through them. The silver flames curled, and the nine dragonets periodically darted about, as if possessing souls, emanating a faint dragon's might.

The process was incredibly smooth. In just two days, Lu Chuan successfully refined the Nine Dragon Thunder Flame. Not only that, he also successfully merged the Three Thousand Burning Flame Fire and the Nine Dragon Thunder Flame, evolving them into a brand new, fused Heavenly Flame.

Its power surpassed that of old!

At this moment, a faint glow seemed to swirl around Lu Chuan's body, his skin translucent and radiant.

His figure was slender, but upon closer inspection, this body contained immense power, its mere presence silencing the surroundings.

He stood in the inheritance ground, like an immortal descending to the mortal world, with flowing long hair.

Lu Chuan stretched, wiping a thin layer of sweat from his forehead. He could only say that the Nine Dragon Thunder Flame, ranked among the top 12 on the Heavenly Flame Ranking, indeed made him sweat...

Exhaling a turbid breath, his eyes sparkled with brilliance. Clearly, successfully merging the two Heavenly Flames greatly benefited Lu Chuan's current cultivation!

"Is this the power of two Heavenly Flames merged?"

Lu Chuan extended his hand and clenched it, revealing a hand as fair as jade. Delicate and slender, it seemed forged from fine jade, yet this seemingly soft and boneless hand, with a slight exertion of its soft, white fingertips, left five faint white marks in the empty space before him.

Lu Chuan had a premonition that if he wished, he could instantly shatter this space with his physical strength alone.

One must know, this was Burning Flame Valley's inheritance ground, reinforced by generations of powerful experts, its space already incredibly stable!

Clearly, after refining the Heavenly Flame, his physical strength, constantly tempered, had also greatly advanced.

As the saying goes, good news brings good spirits. Lu Chuan decided to write another diary entry!

Thinking of it, he did it. He continued to immerse his spiritual power into the diary.

[Haha, your young master refined this Nine Dragon Thunder Flame with no effort at all. Afterward, I will surely become the Ancestor of All Flames!]

.....

Lu Chuan's subconscious act of showing off quickly exposed his current situation, which was then learned by The women.

"He has already refined the Nine Dragon Thunder Flame!? Ancestor of All Flames..." Gu Xun'er's delicate brows furrowed as she murmured.

Above a certain mountain range, beast roars echoed, apes shrieked, and beasts howled. The ancient forests were dense, and looking down, the boundless mountain range resembled a green ocean, dotted with patches of grayish-green mottled rocks. Only upon closer inspection could one discern them as small hills.

High in the sky, clouds billowed and mist swirled. A graceful figure, her form ethereal, exuded a mysterious beauty. Her sleeves fluttered, and as her sash danced, she stood like a butterfly, utterly beautiful. It was noteworthy that the pair of Dou Qi wings on her back unmistakably demonstrated her strength.

She was at least a Dou Wang or above!

It seemed she needed to speed up her journey, otherwise, given Lu Chuan's personality, now that he had refined the Nine Dragon Thunder Flame, he would surely not stay in one place for long.

She had long suspected that Lu Chuan would definitely refine the Nine Dragon Thunder Flame very quickly, but she never expected the speed to be so astonishing!

Gu Xun Er thought of this, and with a shake of the Dou Qi wings behind her, the surrounding scenery rapidly blurred. She shot through the sky like a white rainbow, her Dou Zun strength fully displayed!

Besides Gu Xun Er, due to her Dou Zun strength, she was also the fastest, tearing through space and using her Dou Qi wings as she traveled.

The rest of The women, such as Xiao Mei, Xiao Yu, Nalan Yanran, Yun Yun, and Medusa, were a bit slower.

They were greatly astonished upon learning from the diary replica that Lu Chuan had already refined the Nine Dragon Thunder Flame, but this was followed by urgency.

Don't let him run off again!

Just as The women were somewhat troubled by their husband's exceedingly powerful talent and strength.

The Blazing Volcano Range, where the Burning Flame Valley was located, was once again a lively scene.

As Lu Chuan refined their valley's inherited Heavenly Flame, even the blood-soul imprints attached to the Nine Dragon Thunder Flame were completely cleared away.

Tang Huo'er also learned of Lu Chuan's current situation from the diary replica, and even saw his declaration to become the Ancestor of All Flames.

Such bold words immediately captured her heart...

To be precise, Tang Huo'er had already secretly fallen for Lu Chuan the moment she received the diary replica, not to mention that he had already refined their Burning Flame Valley's inherited Heavenly Flame.

The fact that Lu Chuan could wash away the soul imprints left by so many generations of powerful experts showed just how powerful he was!

So, while Gu Xun'er, Xiao Mei, Xiao Yu, Nalan Yanran, Yun Yun, Medusa, and the others were on their way to the Blazing Volcano Range.

Tang Huo'er had already taken the lead, preparing to propose to Lu Chuan...

"Father, since Lu Chuan can refine the Nine Dragon Thunder Flame, he is definitely no ordinary person. The blood-soul imprints left by generations of powerful experts in our Burning Flame Valley are not to be trifled with!"

"Such a powerful expert cannot be offended. On the contrary, our Burning Flame Valley should try to win over Lu Chuan. From what I know, he is also the champion of the Pill Gathering, a top-tier eighth-grade alchemist."

Tang Huo'er advised Tang Zhen.

In the deliberation hall, Tang Zhen's expression gradually grew solemn. The weight of an eighth-grade alchemist was not light! Coupled with the other party's own cultivation, it was indeed worth their Burning Flame Valley fostering good relations, after all, they couldn't defeat him...

But... Lu Chuan had already explicitly stated earlier that he didn't want any other treasures from their Burning Flame Valley, only the Heavenly Flame.

Tang Huo'er saw through Tang Zhen's thoughts. Proposing such a suggestion in front of her father made her feel somewhat ashamed, but for her lifelong happiness, she still slowly persuaded Tang Zhen: "For the inheritance of our Burning Flame Valley, your daughter is willing to marry Lu Chuan. This way, if anything major happens in the valley in the future, he probably won't stand idly by. Moreover, having just refined our inherited Heavenly Flame, Lu Chuan shouldn't mind marrying a wife."

"After all, your daughter is not an ugly person..."

Upon hearing this, Tang Zhen scrutinized Tang Huo'er from head to toe. His old face showed a touch of emotion. He stepped forward, took Tang Huo'er's hand, and said with a wistful tone, "But wouldn't that be unfair to you?"

Tang Huo'er, somewhat guiltily, said, "It's all for Burning Flame Valley."

This is his daughter!

This move is indeed feasible... If they could win over a powerful expert like Lu Chuan through his daughter, it would also be a good thing.

So Tang Zhen informed Burning Flame Ancestor of the matter.

Burning Flame Ancestor, who was already saddened by the news that the inherited Heavenly Flame had been refined by Lu Chuan, immediately disagreed upon hearing that Tang Zhen wanted to give his daughter to that great devil, Lu Chuan.

Tang Zhen could only patiently and slowly recount what Tang Huo'er had told him earlier.

Upon hearing this, Burning Flame Ancestor was greatly comforted. He patted Tang Zhen's shoulder with some approval.

Their Burning Flame Valley had a successor!

Tang Zhen, on the other hand, was somewhat flattered and at the same time immensely ashamed, after all, his daughter was about to be married off!

So, on the day Lu Chuan emerged from seclusion, Burning Flame Ancestor brought Tang Huo'er before him and laid out his thoughts completely.

Lu Chuan considered it for a moment. He didn't want to marry yet.

His expression was calm, he cupped his hands in thanks, and apologized to Tang Huo'er, saying, "I don't intend to marry for now. If Miss Huo'er wishes to come along, it can only be as a concubine!"

Tang Huo'er's eyes held a smile. Her waist, adorned with a fiery red long whip, was slender and graceful, and her figure appeared even more lithe when she walked. She approached Lu Chuan, looked at the person she had longed for, and said without hesitation, "Good!"

Facing the gazes of Burning Flame Ancestor, Tang Zhen, and Tang Huo'er, Lu Chuan, who had originally intended to politely decline, could only reluctantly agree to the marriage.

After all, the young woman had gone to such lengths, and it would be impolite for him to refuse again...

...

After several twists and turns, things returned to normal. Lu Chuan was quite satisfied with this trip. He spent some time subduing the Nine Dragon Thunder Flame, ranked among the top 12 on the Heavenly Flame Ranking. Although it took some effort to erase the blood-soul imprints on it, there was no danger during the process.

Even the Three Thousand Burning Flame Fire, after the Nine Dragon Thunder Flame was refined, the two Heavenly Flames spontaneously merged, forming a brand new fused Heavenly Flame, whose power surpassed that of old.

Lu Chuan's cultivation also ascended a bit further due to this fused Heavenly Flame.

Don't dismiss the small increase; at his realm, even a tiny difference is a world apart.

While the atmosphere among the Burning Flame Valley people was somewhat somber due to the inherited Heavenly Flame being refined, this sadness was somewhat diluted by the joy when they learned that Tang Huo'er, the daughter of the current Valley Master, was to be married.

Burning Flame Ancestor and Tang Zhen knew that Lu Chuan was no ordinary person; if they could win him over through Tang Huo'er, it would also be a good thing.

And Tang Huo'er could finally marry the Lu Chuan she had longed for!

One can only say that when girls pursue their beloved, their intelligence is boundless. Tang Huo'er also didn't want Burning Flame Valley to fight Lu Chuan to the death over the Heavenly Flame! The current handling method was a win-win situation.

She didn't have to worry about Burning Flame Valley being wiped out by Lu Chuan, and she could also marry the person she had longed for.

And because of this grand wedding.

The content Lu Chuan wrote in his diary this time also included information about this grand wedding.

[Your young master is taking a concubine! And she's a beautiful woman with a charming figure! She offered herself to me, and I couldn't even refuse.]

"??? Taking a concubine!?" Gu Xun Er murmured to herself.

She rubbed her eyes, suspecting that she had been traveling for too long, causing the words in the diary to appear distorted.

After a while, having recovered some Dou Qi and taken a restorative pill, Gu Xun Er once again looked at the contents of the diary replica, and it was still the same as before.

Immediately, she grew anxious!!

If he takes a concubine this time, next time Lu Chuan, that philandering scoundrel, will dare to take a wife!

And although that unknown woman took the initiative to offer herself this time, she ultimately took Lu Chuan's first time!

Gu Xun Er gritted her silver teeth, feeling a suffocating pressure in her chest, as if by some invisible force. Simply put, she was jealous.

The young girl's body was like a graceful swan, her sleeves fluttering. One could see her soft, boneless jade hands, her waist slender like a willow swaying in the wind. The two pairs of Dou Qi wings behind her were brilliant and dazzling, like an angel fallen to the mortal world, her face exquisitely beautiful and inviolable.

High in the sky, clouds swirled and mist hung heavy, which paradoxically added a touch of ethereal beauty to the young girl. Her shapely figure was faintly visible amidst the pure white clouds.

But at this moment, this angel gritted her silver teeth, her heart overflowing with jealousy!

Gu Xun Er's pretty face turned dark. She no longer cared about resting, for if she delayed any longer, she might even be attending the full moon celebration of Lu Chuan's child.

Brother Lu Chuan, wait for me, Xun'er will find you very soon!

Just as Gu Xun Er was secretly anxious, operating her Dou Qi beyond its limit, the rest of The women also had their own reactions.

"This woman is simply shameless! How could she... how could she..." Xiao Yu said, her face flushed and her teeth gritted.

The young girl's pretty profile curved into a blush that was incredibly alluring, a faint pink blush rose on her swan-like neck, her earlobes like red agates, her entire being exuding the sweet scent of ripeness.

Xiao Yu's mind replayed the new content in the diary replica, and she felt both shame and anger.

"Brother Lu Chuan, that philandering scoundrel!!"

And she and her sister Xiao Mei had traveled thousands of miles to find him.

It was useless for Xiao Yu to be anxious, though; she couldn't possibly find Lu Chuan and tell him not to take a concubine, could she?

Seeing that her sister was almost crying with anxiety.

Xiao Mei could only suppress the urgency in her heart and gently comforted Xiao Yu, while at the same time, she became even more resolute in her idea.

Once they caught Lu Chuan, they would surely drain that philandering scoundrel dry!

So he wouldn't have the energy to look for other women!

Xiao Mei confided her thoughts to Xiao Yu, and the young girl solemnly nodded to her sister, clearly highly approving of Xiao Mei's idea. Her tone, though containing some hesitation, was more filled with determination, saying, "When the time comes, our sisters will join forces, and we'll make sure he can't get out of bed anyway!"

The Lingxiao Palace, a celestial palace, stood atop the pure white clouds, casting a vast shadow that enveloped the land below. Looking out, it resembled a floating mountain, with pavilions, terraces, white corridors, and jade pillars. On the plaque in front of the main hall, the four gilded characters "Lingxiao Palace" were inscribed!

It was as if the ancient Heavenly Court had reappeared in the human world, or a divine temple where ancient gods resided, a hundred or even a thousand times more luxurious than the imperial palaces and pavilions where mortal emperors lived.

Numerous guests came and went, their auras all formidable, for none who received an invitation to this place were below the Dou Wang level cultivators.

Besides these powerful experts, some of their highly regarded juniors also came to attend Lu Chuan's wedding banquet.

They were the prodigies from many forces that had good relations with Burning Flame Valley. Upon learning that Tang Huo'er, the pearl of the Northwest Continent, was to be married, they were immediately filled with righteous indignation.
