Gou Zaixiu Immortal World Gets A Wife

Chapter 1 Blind Date

"What are your special skills?" The female cultivator spoke first in the elegant and quiet tea house in Azure Serenity City, Xianxu.

For this blind date today, the female cultivator had carefully dressed up, wearing all kinds of gorgeous clothes and accessories, simply because the matchmaker said that the other party was a handsome man skilled in alchemy and talisman drawing.

And the person sitting across from her, Li Guanxuan, could indeed be described as handsome and elegant. With his half-tied, half-untied long hair, gentle eyebrows and eyes, and a free and unrestrained temperament, he exuded a bit of a celestial aura.

In short, the female cultivator was very satisfied with the other party's appearance.

"Alchemy and talisman skills, knowledgeable but not specialized." Li Guanxuan's answer also satisfied the female cultivator.

Usually, this kind of statement was meant to be modest, especially considering Li Guanxuan's appearance, temperament, and behavior, all of which revealed that he came from a family of cultivators.

Only those who came from a family of cultivators would possess such cultivation.

The female cultivator subtly straightened her back, revealing her existing capital.

She held the teacup in her hands, took a sip from the mouth, and took the opportunity to steal a glance at Li Guanxuan. Seeing that he had a smile on his face and a sincere look in his eyes, she felt a bit proud.

The saying "a man's true nature" was not wrong at all.

"May I ask, Fellow Daoist, where do you live?" The female cultivator asked with a smile on her face.

"Da Heng Yongning Prefecture," Li Guanxuan answered.

Upon hearing this, the female cultivator became even more satisfied.

Da Heng Xian Dynasty was not a small secular country. It occupied a spiritual vein of tens of thousands of miles and had a prosperous national fortune.

Now, in the Azure Serenity City where they were, there was only one hundred-meter-level spiritual vein, but there were sixty to seventy thousand cultivators in the city.

Cultivators like them in the early stage of Qi Refining could only live on the outskirts of Azure Serenity City and couldn't even enter the city, let alone come into contact with the first-level spiritual vein located in the center.

And in the capital city of Da Heng, Yongning Prefecture, the Li family, located at the center of the spiritual vein, was a prestigious family that had been passed down for thousands of years. Their ancestor was even a Soul Formation stage old monster.

If she could marry into the Li family, even if she could only scrape some resources on the edge, it would still allow her to rise to prominence.

The female cultivator was basically certain that Li Guanxuan, the young master of the Li family sitting across from her, was probably sent to Xianxu for training because of his mediocre aptitude. If he wanted to return to the family, he only had two options.

First, step into the Foundation Building stage.

Second, get married and have children.

The first option was to demonstrate his abilities and prove that he could still contribute to the family.

The second option was when there was no way out, he could only marry and take concubines, placing his hopes on the next generation and obtaining rewards from the family through his children.

If the children had good spiritual roots, the couple might even be able to return to the family and enjoy their later years.

A smile bloomed on the female cultivator's face. She was at the Qi Refining stage, and with Li Guanxuan, who had the special skills of alchemy and talisman drawing, they would definitely have several children with good spiritual roots. Then they could leave this mixed land of Xianxu and go to Da Heng Yongning Prefecture...

The female cultivator looked at Li Guanxuan with clear eyes. With just these two conditions, she could already give him a score of eighty points.

After all, cultivation emphasizes "wealth, partner, method, and land".

For cultivators with mediocre aptitude like them, if they didn't have the help of a family or sect, it would be difficult to reach the Foundation Building stage in their lifetime, and they might even perish on this path.

Therefore, finding a reliance is particularly important for female cultivators, even if they are on the outskirts of the family. It's still better than having nothing.

"Oh, by the way, I wonder how skilled Fellow Daoist is in talisman making?" The female cultivator's eyes were filled with anticipation.

Li Guanxuan took a sip of tea and said, "They are all low-grade first-tier talismans."

The female cultivator was slightly taken aback and asked, "What about your cultivation level?"

"Second level of Qi Refining."

"Spirit root aptitude?"

"Low-grade spirit roots in the four elements: metal, wood, fire, and earth."

"..."

The female cultivator nodded slightly, feeling relieved in her heart.

If the other party had excellent talent as an immortal seedling, the cultivation family would not have sent them out for training.

The female cultivator smiled again and said, "It doesn't matter. As long as we reach the high-grade first-tier in talisman making and the mid-stage of Qi Refining before the age of forty, then there is a high probability that our offspring will have upper-grade spirit roots... In this way, we have a chance to reach Foundation Building before the age of sixty."

Li Guanxuan was stunned for a moment and said, "Um, I'm afraid I can't achieve that."

"Why?"

"Didn't the matchmaker tell you my real age?"

"Then you..."

A sense of unease surged in the female cultivator's heart.

Li Guanxuan smiled and said, "I am over forty this year, but I have taken the family's youth-preserving pill."

Since they were all here for blind dates, Li Guanxuan thought it would be better to be sincere.

After all, he no longer had the recklessness and arrogance of his youth, which had long been smoothed out by time.

"This..."

The female cultivator felt greatly disappointed. A Qi Refining cultivator in their forties, with low-grade spirit roots in the four elements, and only first-tier low-grade talisman making skills... It would be a miracle if this person could return to the Li family in Daheng.

The female cultivator adjusted her beautiful coat slightly, wrapped her graceful body tightly, and smiled apologetically, "Fellow Daoist, I wish you good fortune in your cultivation... Goodbye."

"Understood."

Li Guanxuan nodded slightly and didn't feel anything was wrong.

As the saying goes, the path of immortality is ruthless. Everyone is here for blind dates, simply seeking what they need.

As for appearance...

The cultivation world is full of handsome men and beautiful women. Who would care about a useless physical appearance?

He had crossed from Earth to the cultivation world over forty years ago. At the age of twelve, he left the Li family in Daheng Yongning Prefecture with his fellow disciples and went to the remote land of Xianxu for cultivation. Now, they were all separated and there was no news.

After struggling at the bottom for so many years, he had long become indifferent to many things.

He had also tried to diligently cultivate and rise up like the protagonist in a trashy novel.

But without spiritual veins and cultivation resources...

No matter how hard he tried, it was all in vain. In the end, he could only learn some basic skills like alchemy and talisman drawing to barely make a living.

Now there's really no other way, he can only try to get married and have children, and ask the family for some cultivation resources.

But with his low-grade spiritual roots in the four elements, it's difficult for him to have offspring with spiritual roots...

"In the end, I have to give it a try."

Li Guanxuan sighed in his heart.

"Miss, I'm sorry, what I need is a cultivation partner, not an ordinary warrior."

In the teahouse, there were many people who came for blind dates. The voice of a male cultivator came from the table next to him. He stood up and said in a calm tone:

"I've already paid for the tea, goodbye."

The woman sitting across from the male cultivator was wearing loose clothes with patches on them. After hearing the male cultivator's voice, her body trembled imperceptibly.

It wasn't until the male cultivator walked away that Li Guanxuan heard a faint "thank you".

Li Guanxuan turned his head and saw the woman's slightly thin face. She was lowering her head in self-doubt, holding a teacup in her rough hands, silently sitting there without saying a word.

After a long time, the woman sighed softly, put down the teacup, and prepared to leave. But she noticed a handsome and elegant man sitting in front of her, and was startled, staring at him blankly.

"Miss, are you alone? I happen to be alone too, want to chat?"

Li Guanxuan sat down generously, and finally got a clear look at the woman's face.

Her hair was tied up high, and beneath her well-shaped eyebrows were a pair of large and round almond eyes. There were a few strands of fine green hair floating in front, her nose was straight, and her small mouth was rosy and slightly open. Her oval face had become thin like a melon seed.

From Li Guanxuan's perspective as someone from a prestigious family, as long as this woman gained a little weight, tidied up properly, and put on a long dress, she would definitely be a stunning beauty.

The woman came back to her senses and, like a frightened little deer, quickly lowered her head and said softly, "I, I'm an ordinary warrior, I eat, eat a lot."

Looking at the woman's silly appearance, Li Guanxuan couldn't help but laugh. Perhaps it was love at first sight, he said sincerely:

"My name is Li Guanxuan, born in the Li family of Daheng Yongning Prefecture, a Qi Refining cultivator at the second level, and a low-grade alchemy and talisman technique practitioner... If you don't mind, we can get married right now, what do you think?"

Facing Li Guanxuan's frankness about his family background and cultivation level, the woman looked at him blankly, but there was a hint of wariness in her almond eyes.

"I, I'm just an ordinary warrior..."

The woman lowered her head, lacking social skills, she could only repeat this sentence.

"I'm not much different from an ordinary person."

Li Guanxuan smiled and said, "Qi Refining cultivators can live up to a little over a hundred years, at most, and live for another twenty years at most. It just happens to make up for the twenty-year age difference between us... Don't worry, I have no ulterior motives towards you, I just want to return to an ordinary life since there's no hope on the path of cultivation."

The woman looked up and glanced at Li Guanxuan. His eyes were clear and bright, his smile was like a gentle breeze, and he looked sincere and calm.

After a long time, the woman put down the teacup that was covering her face and introduced herself seriously:

"I, my name is Wen Rongxin, eighteen years old, born in a farming family in Shanliu Town. Three years ago, the town was attacked by bandits, and my parents were killed while protecting me. Then I came to Azure Serenity City and was found to have... inferior spiritual roots in the five elements, so I can only practice martial arts."

Li Guanxuan nodded slightly. It seemed that she had come for a blind date because she couldn't survive anymore.

For a warrior, food is a resource.

But looking at Wen Rongxin's current condition... it was obvious that she couldn't even afford a full meal.

The two continued chatting, and a slight smile gradually appeared on Wen Rongxin's thin oval face. Her eyes curved, giving her a somewhat charming and attractive look.

...

Half a month later.

After getting to know each other during this half month, Wen Rongxin had completely let down her guard.

The two also decided to hold their wedding today.

Li Guanxuan's residence was in the eastern suburbs of Azure Serenity City, in a makeshift area made of trees. The small rooms were divided inside the wooden houses, and the yards outside were separated by fences, with various families growing spiritual vegetables and rice.

The simple and desolate houses were adorned with red lanterns and the character "囍" (double happiness), adding a touch of warmth.

After eating, the two bowed to each other and became husband and wife.

Not long after, Wen Rongxin hurriedly ran back to the bedroom, put on a red veil, her face flushed, and sat quietly and nervously on the edge of the bed, waiting for her beloved husband.

Li Guanxuan, who was skilled in craftsmanship in both lives, walked slowly, feeling extremely nervous inside.

After all, he was just an ignorant young man, with only theoretical knowledge in his mind and no practical experience.

Li Guanxuan adjusted his emotions and softly said, "Wife, please guide me in the future."

"Mm."

Wen Rongxin let out a faint hum.

The next second, a gentle breeze passed by, and the flickering candlelight instantly extinguished.

The red "囍" character appeared particularly vibrant.

The full moon outside the window was large and bright.

Two hours later.

A pure energy suddenly rose from within their bodies.

Li Guanxuan's face changed, and he quickly withdrew, sitting cross-legged, closing his eyes and focusing his spiritual awareness inward.

To his surprise, his spiritual awareness, which he intended to use to examine the condition of his internal organs, unexpectedly fell into a dark space.

The surroundings here were empty and silent, with only a peculiar large tree standing tall.

This tree was fifty to sixty zhang (a Chinese unit of length, approximately 3.3 meters), with a spreading crown, angular twigs, and finely feathered leaves. It was lush green, and the flowers on it resembled fluffy balls, with stamens hanging down like horse tassels, in shades of pink and white, delicate and lovely.

In an instant, two golden and red rays of light emerged from the roots of the tree, transforming into a golden dragon and a phoenix, intersecting and rising, finally breaking through the dark space and turning into pure energy, stored in every part of their bodies.

"This..."

Li Guanxuan widened his eyes.

He recognized this Velvet Flower Spirit Tree, which was located on the Mountain of Joyful Bliss to the east of Azure Serenity City...
