Start With Chaos Sword Body And Build The Immortal Clan

On this day, Gu Changqing emerged from seclusion, completely consolidating his Profound King mid-stage realm.

The next step was to break through to the Profound King late stage.

Glancing at the storage ring, there were quite a few medicinal herbs inside, but most of them were second or third-grade herbs. There were only a few fourth-grade herbs, which were sent by the Dusty Heart Pavilion.

For Gu Changqing, who had already reached the Profound King mid-stage realm, second or third-grade pills were of little use.

As for the medicinal herbs for high-grade pills, it wasn't that Gu Changqing didn't have spirit stones to buy them. In the past two years, Gu Changqing had earned quite a few spirit stones with his Alchemy Sovereign-level Alchemy Technique.

However, most of the main and auxiliary medicinal herbs for high-grade pills were not available on the market and were rarely put up for auction.

In simple terms, the Hanqin Empire...

Even the Myriad Monsters South Sea was too small. There were hardly any high-grade spiritual herbs and medicinal herbs here.

After coming out of seclusion, Gu Changqing discovered that the Gu Family was unusually festive today.

There were lanterns and decorations everywhere, and it was bustling with activity.

Gu Changqing stopped a maid at random and asked, "What festival is it today? Why is the clan so lively?"

The maid respectfully bowed to Gu Changqing and replied, "Young Master, indeed, it is a joyous occasion. Miss Gu Yingcai is getting engaged to An Yang, the eldest son of the An Family in Yuewu City today.

The clan leader and the others have already gone to the reception hall, waiting for the An Family to arrive. Young Master has been in seclusion, and the master ordered that no one should disturb him, so we didn't inform Young Master."

"Yingcai?"

The Gu Family had only about a hundred members, and Gu Changqing knew each and every one of them.

Gu Yingcai was the second elder's daughter in the Gu Family. She had an ordinary appearance, but her talent was not bad. Among the younger generation of the Gu Family, she could rank in the top ten.

"Yingcai is actually getting engaged. When did this happen?"

"It happened during the few months when Young Master was in seclusion."

After the maid explained, Gu Changqing finally understood the whole story.

It turned out that a few months ago, Gu Yingcai met the young master of the An Family in Yuewu City during an outing and they fell in love at first sight. They quickly established a relationship.

The Hanqin Empire had twenty-one provinces, and the Rive Hedge City of the Gu Family was located in the province of Wangzhou.

Rive Hedge City was just a small city in Wangzhou, while Yuewu City was the capital city of Wangzhou, equivalent to the provincial capital on Earth in Gu Changqing's previous life.

The An Family was one of the four major families in Yuewu City and a true semi-kingdom-level power.

From the maid, Gu Changqing learned that this relationship did not receive support at the beginning, uh...

To be precise, it did not receive support from the An Family.

The greater the power within the clan, the more they emphasized matching backgrounds.

The An Family was one of the four major families in Yuewu City, a semi-King Level power.

As the eldest son of the An Family, his wife should at least not be too inferior, right?

But the Gu Family...

A Tribulation Realm family, and they were located in such a remote place like Rive Hedge City. This matter quickly encountered strong opposition from An Yang's parents and the clan.

Especially An Yang's mother, who had already chosen a suitable candidate for her son. The other party's background was not much worse than that of the An Family.

But An Yang was sincerely in love with Gu Yingcai and would not marry anyone else.

It was said that he even threatened to die if he couldn't marry her, causing a commotion within the clan before the An Family finally compromised.

That was how the engagement came about.

Gu Changqing smiled. He didn't expect there to be such a story behind this.

An Yang was quite a devoted person.

What surprised Gu Changqing even more was that the An Family had actually compromised.

This was different from some of the melodramatic plots he had seen in his previous life...

"You know quite a lot, little girl."

The maid's face turned red, unsure whether Young Master was praising her or mocking her.

"Let's go. Since I'm out of seclusion, I'll go and take a look too."

At this moment, outside the Gu Family mansion, a long line of welcoming crowds had already formed.

The second elder personally stood outside the gate to welcome the guests.

As for the patriarch, Gu Yuan, he was not among them.

The second elder personally greeted them outside, which was already giving them face. As the head of the Gu Family, if he were to also greet them outside, wouldn't it be equivalent to lowering his status and considering the Gu Family beneath the An Family?

The outside world thinks that the Gu Family is trying to climb up by associating with the An Family.

But in Gu Yuan's eyes, who is climbing up whom is still uncertain...

The Gu Family is no longer the same Gu Family as before. The current Gu Family has two Profound King Realm powerhouses, Gu Yuan himself recently broke through to the Half King Realm, his daughter-in-law Jiang Lianxin may only be at the Tribulation Realm Eighth Layer, but her strength surpasses his own, and on top of that, there's his precious granddaughter Gu Yunxi... at the age of two, she's at the Tribulation Realm Sixth Layer, with battle power comparable to a Half King!

Two Profound Kings, three Half Kings, who is climbing up whom?

The current Gu Changqing's strength is also unfathomable.

Although the Gu Family did not intentionally reveal their strength, there was no need to deliberately hide anything either.

Outside the Gu Family residence, the Gu Family members who had been waiting for a long time finally saw the arrival of the An Family.

There weren't many people, but they were all important figures from the An Family. Leading them was the An Family Patriarch, An Yang's father, and standing beside him was a beautiful woman, presumably An Yang's mother.

Behind them were several An Family elders, all of whom had considerable strength.

"Cai'er!"

At a glance, An Yang saw Gu Yingcai standing next to the second elder and excitedly went up to her, hugging her tightly.

Absence makes the heart grow fonder, and these two, who were deeply in love, had felt like every day was a year during this time apart.

"Yang ge."

"Cai'er, I told you, I will definitely marry you! And now, I'm here!"

"Mm, I know."

The second elder looked at the young couple embracing each other without regard for others and cleared his throat, reminding them that there were still many people watching.

"Dear in-laws, you've come a long way, please, come inside..."

The second elder warmly led the An Family members, and he could see that An Yang loved Yingcai very much, even to the point of causing a scene at the An Family and threatening to die if he couldn't be with her.

Being able to marry someone who loved her so deeply naturally made the second elder happy, and he himself was also very happy.

Looking at the tightly embraced couple who paid no attention to anyone else, An Yang's mother's expression wasn't very good.

She was the one in the clan who was most opposed to this matter.

If it weren't for An Yang's life-or-death insistence, how could she have let her son marry a girl from such a small city family?

"A second elder of the clan, only at the Tribulation Realm Second Layer."

An Yang's mother saw through the second elder's cultivation level at a glance and felt somewhat disdainful.

Tribulation Realm Second Layer, such strength would even be barely enough to be a steward in their An Family.

In this small Gu Family, he could actually hold the position of the second elder?

Heh.

"The Gu Family only sent you, a second elder, to greet us? Where is your clan leader? Why isn't he here to greet us?" An Yang's mother swept her gaze around and found that among the high-ranking members of the Gu Family, only the second elder had come out to greet them, which made her dissatisfaction even stronger.

She even faintly felt anger rising.

This Gu Family really doesn't take their An Family seriously.

The An Family came to propose a marriage, and even the clan leader personally came, but the Gu Family only sent a second elder to greet them?

Who do they think they are looking down on?

"Our clan leader and the others are waiting for you in the reception hall..." The second elder furrowed his brows. It seemed that his mother-in-law had some ill intentions.

"The head of the Gu Family, truly... has quite the face!"

"Mother!"

An Yang's mother wanted to continue saying something, but she was stopped by An Yang, whose expression was gradually darkening.

Today is a joyous day, and he didn't want to ruin it.

However, he also somewhat blamed the Gu Family in his heart.

No matter what, the gap between the An Family and the Gu Family is there. One is a Half King family, while the other is just a small city family.

For this marriage proposal, he had convinced his parents to come in person.

But the Gu Family...

"Hmph!"

An Yang's mother snorted coldly, but she didn't say anything more.

Led by the second elder, they slowly entered the Gu Family residence.
