Yingyue Arrives at the Door! Double Marriage Certificate?

Lu Yun looked at the ore ingot in his palm, and the corners of his mouth curled up.

Yang Feng showed him a sample of the Ten Refined Spiritual Materials, and this is what it looked like.

Ten catties of ore ingots took about an hour to process, a speed comparable to refining spiritual materials.

However, the price is even higher if it's tempered to a hundred catties, costing two spirit crystals.

The monthly quota of 3,000 catties translates to more than 300 hours.

That averages out to ten hours a day, which makes it possible to complete.

Moreover, he still has fourteen hours of his quota of Dharma inheritance left unused; once he uses them all, the speed will only be faster.

The weight that had been pressing on my heart has finally been lifted.

During this hour of tempering, the double blessing of hard work is still secretly exerting its power.

The progress of the Hundred Refinements Technique has increased by another four points.

Even without the Daoist essence of the Inheritance Stele, one can accumulate thirty or forty points in a day.

At this rate, if we work hard for a month, we might be able to get our hands on the 100-refinery mine.

But then, Lu Yun frowned again.

Ten hours a day are spent refining spiritual materials, plus circulating qi to restore true energy. Time is fragmented, leaving no room to breathe.

Cultivation is the foundation. If you try to trap yourself in front of the Earth Fire Platform just to meet the quota, wouldn't that be putting the cart before the horse?

No wonder people want to form societies and groups.

One person simply cannot turn around.

The underground fire room is just sitting empty anyway, so it can be rented out.

Deng Chen's group is watching closely; I'm afraid no one will dare to take the bait.

I wonder how Shen He and Qin Yue's assessments are progressing.

Senior Brother Liu is in charge of assigning disciples to various halls. If we could assign the two of them to the sixteenth hall...

Lu Yun stared at the fading light on the fire platform, already having a plan in mind.

The sun rose and the moon set, and two days passed in the blink of an eye.

These past two days, Lu Yun has devoted almost all his time to the Hundred Refinements Technique.

He understood the principle that sharpening the axe won't delay the work of chopping wood.

Although the Hundred Refinements Technique does not directly increase cultivation level, true energy is repeatedly tempered and refined through the process of activating the flames time and time again.

The foundation, which had been somewhat unstable due to the rapid breakthrough, gradually became more solid.

Sixteen hours have already been spent in front of the Chengfa Stele, more than when I first tried to comprehend the "True Dharma of Purity and Turbidity".

With tireless practice day and night, the progress of the "Tai Xu Hundred Refinements Technique" has steadily reached 300, and it is now able to refine ore to the 30th level.

The speed of refining the purple gold was reduced from one hour to half an hour.

The speed doubled.

Based on this alone, Lu Yun felt that those sixteen hours were well spent.

Yang Feng came by during that time.

He heard about Deng Chen blocking the door and came over to comfort him, saying that he and Shen Yi could help make up the quota of three thousand catties of refined ore.

Lu Yun didn't let him disturb his elder brother, only saying that he had a way.

The list of those who received top-tier performance ratings has also been released in the last two days.

The five examination institutes produced a total of twenty-six people who were ranked first, and they were assigned to various departments.

Besides Lu Yun, another familiar face was assigned to the Sixteenth Hall.

Feng Jian.

I heard that he insisted on coming to the Sixteenth Hall himself.

The two hadn't met since entering the hall; Lu Yun had only heard about it from others and hadn't taken it to heart.

Early this morning, while a thin layer of morning mist still covered the stone path of the Immortal Hall, Lu Yun went out.

There are only four hours left in the quota for the Chengfa Stele, which has already been arranged with Luo Chuan.

The morning sun pierced through the mist, casting a faint golden glow on the road surface.

Lu Yun walked briskly and was in a good mood.

With the ability to observe oneself through the mind, one can watch the numbers rise daily and find hope in life.

If I had this in my past life, my life would probably have been quite fulfilling.

Suddenly, a figure appeared from the mist ahead.

The gray-robed disciples on both sides stopped and stared, their gazes drawn as if by an invisible thread.

Clad in white like clouds, with a figure as graceful as a crane, the wide Taoist robe fluttered in the morning breeze, revealing the contours of the robe beneath.

Her chest stretched the hem of her robe without a single wrinkle, her waist was slender, and her hips were round and full, creating a smooth arc at the back of the robe.

As the person approached, the mist cleared from her face, revealing a cool and aloof expression.

The Moon-Reflecting Fairy.

Lu Yun paused.

She blocked the road with such precision.

Lu Yun cursed inwardly; the marriage certificate that [Heavenly Marriage] brought really did have GPS tracking.

"Is the inheritance of the Dharma over?" Yingyue asked.

Lu Yun nodded, clasped his hands in a fist and said, "Thanks to the fairy, I was fortunate enough to get first place."

"What a pity."

A hint of regret flashed in Yingyue's eyes, "I couldn't activate the Dharma Seed."

The slight smugness that hadn't even had a chance to surface on Lu Yun's lips froze on the spot.

"But even the top-ranked ones are not bad; there are only a few dozen in each year."

Lu Yunqian chuckled.

I was originally going to brag about being the first to receive an A grade, but I'd better not say it now.

He suddenly remembered that his instructor had said that Yingyue was given the seed of the Dharma when she first comprehended the "True Dharma of Purity and Turbidity".

The two walked side by side to a pavilion overlooking the water.

The morning mist swirls slowly across the water, and the wind chimes at the corner of the pavilion occasionally chime.

Several gray-robed disciples passing by watched from afar, their gazes lingering on Yingyue for a moment before shifting to Lu Yun's face, their eyes practically overflowing with envy and jealousy.

Fortunately, they only thought she was a beautiful female cultivator and did not recognize her as the twenty-year-old Foundation Establishment True Person Yingyue from the Immortal Academy.

After all, she wasn't wearing the robes of the Immortal Academy, and her name wasn't on her face; she was simply dressed in pure white, like snow.

Yingyue's name is widely known, but few people have seen her face.

Yingyue sat down in the pavilion, seemingly wanting to chat with Lu Yun about something.

His lips moved, then closed again.

Lu Yun also stood there, unsure of what to say.

Faced with a Foundation Establishment cultivator, he racked his brains but couldn't think of a suitable topic.

After a moment of silence, Yingyue decided to stop beating around the bush.

"I have already asked my master, and he has given his permission."

Lu Yun was taken aback: "Permitted what?"

Yingyue glanced at him, her gaze carrying a scrutinizing quality as if to say, "Are you pretending to be stupid?"

"Naturally, it's our marriage."

Lu Yun glanced at Fairy Yingyue, his lips dry.

"Approved? They actually agreed to this?"

A Foundation Establishment cultivator took in a twenty-year-old Foundation Establishment disciple, and then immediately agreed to let the disciple marry a rogue cultivator at the third level of Qi Refining.

He even prepared a script for being jilted at the altar.

Suddenly, Fairy Yingyue's master tossed out a storage bag containing ten thousand spirit stones and said coldly, "Leave my disciple."

That makes sense; what's the point of this now?

"So, the fairy has come here this time..."

"Naturally, we should register at the Fairy Couple Pavilion."

Lu Yun's pupils suddenly contracted; here we go again.

The Moon Fairy always says surprising things, and every time she speaks, she does something unexpected, leaving people guessing.

"You don't want to?"

Yingyue keenly noticed the change in his expression, and her brows furrowed slightly.

Lu Yun quickly shook his head.

Of course he dared not or would not, he carefully considered his words: "But... isn't it a bit too fast?"

As he spoke, he kept an eye on Yingyue's expression out of the corner of his eye.

There was no anger on that cool face, only a hint of surprise.

Lu Yun grew bolder: "We've only met twice in total."

To be honest, he was a little scared.

Who would be so kind as to get married after only two meetings?

Even if it was a blind date in a past life, it still involved several meals and movies.

In this world of immortals and heroes, a Foundation Establishment cultivator wants to register and become a Daoist couple after only two meetings.

No matter how I think about it, something just doesn't feel right.

Could he be practicing some kind of demonic cultivation technique involving sexual exploitation? But even if it's sexual exploitation, one shouldn't target a nobody like him who's only at the third level of Qi Refining.

"That's indeed a bit fast."

Yingyue remained silent for a moment, then turned around, her black hair flying and her clothes billowing.

For a fleeting moment, her full breasts were lifted by the movement, swayed slightly, and then were gathered back by her clothes, returning to calm.

She asked earnestly, "Then, in your opinion, how many times is appropriate?"

Lu Yun's gaze was involuntarily drawn to that arc for a moment, then he looked away as if he had been electrocuted, focusing his attention on his nose and mind.

"We can try...getting to know each other slowly. What if, after spending time together, the fairy finds that I'm not suitable?"

Yingyue thought for a moment and nodded: "Alright, let's get to know each other first, and then go to the Fairy Couple Pavilion when we're more familiar with each other."

Lu Yun breathed a sigh of relief.

Could it be that she meant me no harm?

It's all an illusion, a complete illusion!
