Chapter 266 - 266: Preparing Congratulatory Gifts 1
“Haha, good, this is a happy event, the Mermaid Queen is also a member of our North Sea, and her marriage this time is like our North Sea marrying off a daughter, then let’s hold your wedding first-
As for MO Lin, don’t worry about her now, let’s talk about her after your wedding is over!”
MO Lin’s grandfather said.
And so, the matter was settled.
Then, the Sea Clan opened their warehouse, allowing Qin Changqing to choose treasures.
The significance of Qin Changqing’s restoration of the Holy Artifact for the Sea Clan was massive.
Qin Changqing was not modest, but he was not excessively greedy either. There were indeed many things in the sea.
What Qin Changqing chose this time were mostly special materials from the sea, of which there were many special metals from the seabed.
Although the North Sea was boiled tens of thousands of years ago, the impact was on the foundations of the North Sea, and these materials would not be damaged.
Hence, Qin Changqing picked up a lot of good stuff.
After making his selection, at a banquet, Qin Changqing proposed the idea of trading with the North Sea.
Unsurprisingly, the Sea Clan powerhouses all agreed.
“Senior, we don’t recognize other humans, we only recognize you. We will do as you say!”
A Sea Clan powerhouse was the first to express his loyalty.
Other Sea Clan powerhouses, including MO Lin’s grandfather, also expressed their stances.
As for the details, Qin Changqing decided to discuss them after his wedding with Bai Ling was over.
Additionally, Qin Changqing received another piece of news.
That Linhai City was, in fact, established by a Nascent Soul infiltrator from the Sea Clan.
The purpose was very simple, to infiltrate the North Region and prepare for contingencies.
“We don’t have any great ambitions in the North Region. All our arrangements
are solely for the Holy Artifact Fragment. Now that the Holy Artifact has been remade, Linhai City will be given to Your Highness.”
MO Lin’s grandfather sighed and said.
So that’s how it was.
No wonder Qin Changqing never encountered the City Lord of Linhai City during his visits.
Apparently, the person was from the Sea Clan, but probably had human blood as well, as ordinary people couldn’t recognize it.
With that,
the grudges between the North Region and the Sea Clan, which had been ongoing for tens of thousands of years, were thoroughly quelled by Qin Changqing.
Not only did he quell them, but Qin Changqing also accomplished what countless cultivators in the North Region could never do.
Now, he had earned the respect and friendship of all the Sea Clans.
Soon after, preparations began for a grand wedding in the North Sea.
Bai Ling’s wedding was extraordinarily grand because all the Sea Clans in the North Sea considered it like marrying off their daughter, so each of the Sea Clans sent personnel to help with preparations.
In many aspects, the Sea Clans were different from humans. For example, they did not have the concept of wives and concubines. Bai Ling made no such demands either.
After marrying Qin Changqing, Bai Ling naturally would reside with the Mermaid Clan permanently, but there would be no need for Qin Changqing to be secretive when visiting Bai Ling in the future.
Qin Changqing returned to Qin Mansion and started his preparations.
A large number of invitations were sent out.
Meanwhile, Qin Changqing asked Liu Xinyue to send a few Late Golden Elixir Stage cultivators to Linhai City to take charge and take over the city.
From then on, this Immortal City belonged to Qin Changqing.
It would later become a place for trading with the Sea Clans.
Having Late Golden Elixir Stage cultivators stationed here was enough for now.
Qin Changqing planned to reinforce the Great Array here so that there would be no need to worry even if they encountered a Tier 4 Sea Beast.
Once Liu Xinshui came out of his closed-door cultivation, Liu Xinyue could go help him.
Invitations from the Qin family were sent to all corners of the world.
Not only were they sent to various Immortal Gates, but they also reached various Immortal Cities.
This time, Qin Changqing naturally wanted to invite all the cultivators to come.
There was no need to hide the matter of making friends with the Sea Clan.
Also, it was the perfect time to announce the trade with the Sea Clan. In this way, Linhai City would become exceptionally prosperous in the future.
Perhaps it could even lead to the prosperity of the entire North Region.”Sect Leader, Senior Qin is taking another concubineA disciple in Luoyun Sect came to report.
“Taking another concubine? It’s been a few years since Senior Qin last took a concubine. Let Elder Jin go this time.”
The Luoyun Sect Leader was a bit busy and said.
Since Qin Changqing had specifically mentioned before that he was taking a concubine now, these Immortal Gate Sect Leaders generally sent their elders to attend.
“Sect Leader, there is something special about the concubine Senior Qin is taking this time, you might need to go in person.”
The disciple said.
The Luoyun Sect Leader looked at him: “Has Senior Qin taken all the female cultivators with a bit of status in the North Region? Could it be that this time, Senior Qin is taking a concubine from the other territories?”
Aside from the North Region, there are also the Central State, West Boundary, East Territory, and Southern Region.
Central State is the strongest, while the other territories are not weak either. Each region is even more powerful than the North Region nowadays.
That’s just how things are.
“No, Sect Leader, the concubine Senior Qin is taking this time is a Mermaid Queen of the Sea Clan in the North Sea, and her cultivation is said to have reached the Deifying stage!”
The disciple said.
The expression on the Luoyun Sect Leader’s face suddenly became lively and somewhat incredulous.
“Show me the invitation.”
With a wave of his hand, he summoned the invitation directly. When he saw it, a strong look of astonishment appeared on his face. “This… he’s taking a concubine from the sea?”
The Luoyun Sect Leader was thoroughly shocked!
“What, Senior Qin is taking a Deifying Sea Clan as a concubine?” “Yes, Sect
Leader, this is what’s written on the invitation.”
“Let me see-”
The Ziji Sect Master, in the Ziji Sect, was also astonished.
Qin Changqing’s concubine this time was truly unexpected.
She turned out to be from the Sea Clan in the North Sea.
Not just an ordinary person, but a Deifying figure from the Sea Clan.
This was particularly astonishing.
In fact, not many people in the North Region today know the details of the great battle that took place tens of thousands of years ago.
Nascent Soul cultivators and below, even those in the Immortal Gate, many of them had never heard of it before.
The North Sea Sea Clan had never been active in the vicinity of the North Region, only secretly sending some clan members who were good at disguising themselves to infiltrate the North Region.
Linhai City, for example, is a part of the strategic plan laid out by the North Sea
Sea Clan.
This was their long-standing plan to retrieve the Holy Artifact Fragment.
The North Region’s Immortal Gates had never had any grievances with the Sea Clan.
The only conflict was the attack on Bixia Sect by the Sea Clan more than a decade ago.
Although the battle was fierce, there were no casualties on either side, and no deep-seated hatred was formed.
So, when it came to the North Sea Sea Clan, the cultivators of the North Region were mostly curious.
A vast majority of cultivators had never seen an Sea Clan member in their lifetime.
Now, however, Qin Changqing suddenly decided to marry a Deifying Sea Clan member, who was also a Sea Clan Queen.
Even Nascent Soul Cultivators were naturally shocked by this news.
“Prepare the gifts.”
The Ziji Sect Master thought about it and had his people prepare gifts.
Not just him.
The leaders of the other Immortal Gates were also preparing their gifts.
These Nascent Souls of the North Region would naturally attend the wedding in person, taking the opportunity to find out about the situation with the North Sea Sea Clan.
“Did you see that? Senior Qin is marrying a Deifying Stage Sea Clan Queen!”
“I just saw it too. I thought I was mistaken, is this true?”
“The news is spreading everywhere, it should be true-
“Oh my God, the concubines Senior Qin is marrying are getting more and more powerful. The female cultivators of Golden Elixir and Nascent Soul stages in our North Region are almost all taken by him. Now Senior Qin is even marrying a Deifying stage one.”
“It’s not just a Deifying stage, she is also a Sea Clan Queen.
