Chapter 1543: Nine Troubles |
The Grand Wedding Hall became a bit noisy with murmurs and hushed tones.
The Ancestors of the Thousand Pill Palace, Twilight Physician Hall, and Vital Tempering Sect had their expressions twitch before the former stood and walked towards the bride and the groom.
"Congratulations to Ancestor Dian Alstreim and Ancestor Tirea Snow. I perceive the Alstreim Family and the Falling Snow Sect would have a bright future."
"Thank you."
Ancestor Dian Alstreim smiled at the Thousand Pill Palace's Krane Parazen and looked at the jade container that was taken out. He took it and opened it when a rich fire-attribute aroma spread instantly, making him feel like his fire was rejuvenated but just a bit.
Looking at the crimson pill gleaming with a purple sheen, he couldn't help but raise his brows.
"Ah, isn't this the Fivefold Serene Incense Pill that helps one expand their fire-attribute sea fivefold by increasing one's Fire Law Intent increase during the breakthrough?"
"Indeed, by bestowing insights from the many main ingredients it has amalgamated from, it increases the chances of establishing an Expansive Sea by thirty percent and establishing an Abundant Sea by five percent for average Law Sea Stage Cultivators. I thought it would be beneficial for the growth of the Alstreim Family and brought it as a present."
"It's great."
The Thousand Pill Palace remained a neutral party throughout the battles and even gifted a Law Tree Fruit to them because Davis won, which more than compensated for such trivialities.
"Glad you liked it."
Ancestor Krane Parazen smiled and returned to his seat.
Next, everyone's gaze fell on the Vital Tempering Sect and Twilight Physician Hall.
The Vital Tempering Sect's Ancestor Gong Kim-Il stood up and arrived before Ancestor Dian Alstreim.
"Congratulations."
He forced a smirk and reluctantly handed over the gift.
Ancestor Dian Alstreim opened the jade container designed with a unique fire pattern and saw a tail leaf with a bright orange vein spreading throughout it. He had no idea what it was before he heard Ancestor Gong Kim-Il speak.
"This is an Ascending Sunrise Tail Leaf that contains yang energy, a perfect supplement for Law Sea Experts who practice Fire Laws to complement their laws with Yang Laws, thereby increasing their prowess depending on their comprehension talent."
"It's valued at Low-Level Emperor Grade at best. So stingy, but I'll accept it regardless..."
Ancestor Dian Alstreim laughed and closed the jade container. He threw it towards the place where the other gifts were placed, making Ancestor Gong Kim-Il clench his fists in anger, but he didn't say anything and turned around with a harrumph.
No one laughed, yet they could be seen snickering silently.
Next, Ancestor Kain Bloodlife stood up and flew towards Ancestor Dian Alstreim.
"Congratulations."
He spoke with a bland tone and gifted a jade container to the groom.
Ancestor Dian Alstreim stared at him and left the jade container hanging for some time before he took it. It made Ancestor Krane Bloodlife narrow his eyes as he could feel the sneers from the audience.
Nevertheless, when Ancestor Dian Alstreim opened it, he widened his eyes.
"Isn't this the Immaculate Blood Tree Fruit that increases even the vitality of Martial Sage Experts and, as a result, increases the lifespan by a thousand years? Although its grade is low, its value could almost reach High-Level Emperor Grade due to its scarcity. Great!"
Ancestor Dian Alstreim smirked as he accepted the gift.
Ancestor Kain Bloodlife smirked in proudness before he turned around and left.
Ancestor Gong Kim-Il's expression twisted as he suddenly received all the mocking to himself.
Didn't Ancestor Kain Bloodlife also prepare a Low-Level Emperor Grade Treasure? Why did it change?
He hatefully looked at Ancestor Kain Bloodlife and saw him shake his head as if he had no choice but to do so.
In truth, Ancestor Kain Bloodlife was inwardly crying. He had actually changed the gifts at the last moment from the one prepared beforehand. It was intended to humiliate Ancestor Dian Alstreim, but he could not do something like that after the battle exchange because it would humiliate him instead.
As a result, he could only gift something better and valuable like the Immaculate Blood Tree Fruit.
The banquet was still ongoing, but the gifting session was over. Even though the latter was over, the disciples of the Vital Tempering Sect felt their faces burn as they could hear their power being mocked.
Usually, they would've yelled at them, but after their conviction, Top Disciple Gong Kim-Jin lost like a lamb being slaughtered by a demon to Sophie Alstreim; they could only suppress their voices.
Kim-Jin also felt that coming here was a mistake with the intent to suppress and humiliate the Alstreim Family. But he could only make do with their own actions and eat the consequences.
Ancestor Gong Hyun-Ki's expression increasingly trembled from the ceaseless murmurs. Due to his powerful Body Tempering Cultivation, he could hear the whispers like they were being whispered into his ears. He wanted to shut off his physical sense, but why should he?
He wanted to kill everyone to make their mouths shut up, but how could he?
Suddenly, his expression calmed while a smirk appeared on his face.
While Ancestor Gong Kim-Il was feeling the same or more amount of humiliation as Ancestor Gong Hyun-Ki felt, he suddenly noticed undulations flaring like a sea tide washing against them that he couldn't help but take a cold breath as an imperceptible smirk appeared on his face.
