Chapter 1042: Chapter 1042 Huangfu Yongchun

“Ah?”

Su Ziling’s work efficiency is still very high; the next day, Wang Chen heard the news she had gathered.

He was quite speechless.

Because his neighbor, Huangfu Yongchun True Person, was actually marrying his twelfth Dao companion!

In other words, this Golden Core Cultivator now had a total of eleven wives and concubines, and although he was already over two hundred years old, he still had a youthful heart and was welcoming another newcomer into his home.

It is said that this newcomer is a charming thirty-year-old with an intermediate cultivation level of Purple Mansion, exceptionally beautiful and alluring!

Wang Chen thought it over and went to the Refinement Room to retrieve the Creation Cauldron.

“Master!”

As soon as the Creation Cauldron landed, Ding couldn’t wait to crawl out from inside, looking pitifully aggrieved, “Master, don’t you want Ding anymore?”

Here we go again!

Wang Chen flicked its forehead with his finger, and said irritably, “Stop pretending, help me forge a magical treasure.”

This one tends to be disobedient unless it’s disciplined–given any slack, it would become too bold, often acting cute and playing dumb. Wang Chen was already very familiar with its tricks.

In fact, it is quite normal for an Artifact Spirit to sleep for decades or even a century.

There is no question of “mistreatment.”

The instant Ding heard Wang Chen’s request, it perked up: “What magical treasure?”

Wang Chen traced something in the air with his finger, and a phoenix hairpin vividly took shape.

He based it on the design from his previous life’s memory, incorporating the unique characteristics of female cultivators in this world, making the hairpin look delicate and elegant with a distinctive charm.

Wang Chen repeated his requirements and took out all the materials he had stored for Ding to choose from.

“Is this it?”

After listening, Ding showed a disappointed look, mixed with a trace of disdain.

Because the hairpin Wang Chen wanted to forge fell into the low-end category of magical treasures, with only modest demands for light functions such as cleansing, skin moisturizing, dust repelling, wind bathing, and spirit awakening; it didn’t even have body protection capabilities!

Looks good but not very useful.

“Is it not possible?”

Wang Chen immediately took on a stern face: “If you can’t even forge this, what use do I have for you?”

Since the functionality was low, but the quality level wasn’t, Wang Chen didn’t want to personally waste time on it.

Unexpectedly, Ding even showed disdain!

“Of course it’s possible!”

Seeing Wang Chen on the verge of turning hostile, Ding immediately shifted its attitude by 180 degrees, nodding and bowing as it spoke, “Just three days, Ding only needs three days to forge it for you!”

“That’s more like it.”

Wang Chen left the materials needed to forge the magical treasure, then left the Refinement Room.

Half a month later, he took Su Ziling with him to congratulate the Huangfu Family.

The protagonist of tonight, Huangfu Yongchun’s residence in Immortal City was about a mile away from Wang Chen’s house–a rather close distance.

However, the Huangfu Family’s estate was much larger than Wang Chen’s Immortal Mansion, rumored to house a large family of over a hundred people.

Taking into account the annual per capita taxes paid by those living in Luodu Immortal City, Huangfu Yongchun True Person’s power was undoubtedly strong.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t be able to afford twelve Dao companions!

According to Su Ziling, Huangfu Yongchun’s romantic exploits were quite famous, and they were very popular with female Cultivators. Had it not been for financial constraints, it isn’t just about a dozen Dao companions–he could have invited many more to join his household.

From a great distance, Wang Chen already saw that the Huangfu Family’s mansion was brightly decorated, exuding a festive and joyous atmosphere.

The guests who came to congratulate them were also quite numerous. When Wang Chen, accompanied by Su Ziling, stepped into the front courtyard, he saw that the main hall was already full of guests, bustling like a marketplace.

The majority of the guests had Golden Core cultivation levels, each accompanied by one or more Attendants.

This is actually quite normal, because Huangfu Yongchun is a High-Order Golden Core and has already reached the pinnacle level.

Just one more step away from Breaking the Golden Core to Condense the Nascent Soul!

With his age, the possibility of condensing the Nascent Soul is not low, so everyone’s personal attendance to congratulate him is only natural.

“Wang Chen, True Person Wang, has come to offer congratulations~”

Accompanied by the attendant’s announcement, a cultivator who looked as handsome as a jade tree in the breeze approached with a bow: “Taoist Friend Wang, how have you been recently?”

Wang Chen was momentarily surprised.

This cultivator, with a handsome and distinguished air, was none other than Huangfu Yongchun, whom he had met once before, so they were acquainted.

But the Huangfu Yongchun that Wang Chen had seen last time appeared to be in his thirties, yet today he looked to be around twenty.

Even younger than Wang Chen!

Bear in mind that this High-Order Golden Core cultivator was already over two hundred years old.

If it were not for the deep, undissolvable vicissitudes in his eyes, Wang Chen might have suspected that he was a descendant of Huangfu Yongchun.

“Thank you for your kind inquiry.”

He smiled and returned the gesture: “Today’s visit is to sincerely wish you and your spouse a blissful union, and an everlasting bond!”

Huangfu Yongchun laughed heartily and took the hand of a woman of peerless beauty: “Taoist Friend Wang, let me introduce you, this is my newly wedded spouse, Ye Zifei.”

The latter bowed accordingly: “Zifei greets True Person.”

“No need to be polite.”

Wang Chen nodded slightly, and beside him, Zi Ling timely presented the prepared gift.

“A small token of my regard.”

There wasn’t much of a relationship between Wang Chen and Huangfu Yongchun, so it wouldn’t be appropriate to give a gift to this High-Order Golden Core directly, as it might be too light or too heavy. Hence, refining a piece of jewelry for Zi Ling to give to his spouse was just perfect.

“Many thanks, True Person.”

Ye Zifei accepted it with both hands, curiosity sparkling in her eyes.

Because this was the first congratulatory gift she had received tonight–others had been for Huangfu Yongchun.

While receiving the gift, she was somewhat nervous and couldn’t help but look over at Huangfu Yongchun.

He said cheerfully, “Open it and have a look.”

Ye Zifei had intended to put it away, but since Huangfu Yongchun said so, she had no choice but to open the box in front of Wang Chen.

At this moment, guests in the hall gathered around, watching this scene with keen interest.

Among them were many beautiful female cultivators.

These female cultivators were either dignified and graceful or stunningly attractive, each with their own style and temperament, like flowers vying for beauty.

Clearly, they were all Dao companions or, to say, wives and concubines of Huangfu Yongchun!

“Ah!”

As soon as Ye Zifei opened the jade box, a burst of glittering light instantly illuminated her beautiful face, drawing light gasps from those nearby.

“Eh?”

Huangfu Yongchun’s gaze sharpened as he reached out, picked up the Phoenix Hairpin from the box, and inserted it into Ye Zifei’s hair bun.

The people around them had their eyes brightened in an instant.

Ye Zifei was already striking in appearance, but upon wearing the Phoenix Hairpin, it seemed as if her whole temperament was sublimated in an instant. Her beauty was enhanced, her skin glowed like snow, and a faint fragrance wafted around her, filled with a charming grace.

This made the people nearby, especially the female cultivators, stunned.

The gift given by Wang Chen turned out to be a Magical Treasure capable of enhancing one’s appearance and temperament!

Such a treasure was not unique, but with such a beautiful design and remarkable effect, it was truly something they had never seen before!
