"Fellow Daoists Liang and his wife have come to offer their congratulations, a small gift, not much to show our respect."
With that, he handed over a jade box brimming with Spiritual Qi.
Inside the box was a millenia-old Profound Ice Jade Lotus, entirely ice-blue, exuding a rich Water Element Qi—it's astonishingly effective for stabilizing one's realm and nurturing the Nascent Soul.
Lei Jingyan offered her greetings with a smile, her gaze fleetingly sweeping over Xu Ping, secretly apprehensive: indeed.
The depth and richness of his aura far surpassed that of an ordinary mid-stage cultivator.
"No need for such formalities, please." Xu Ping accepted the jade box, smiled indifferently, and gestured to lead the way.
Inside the Blood Bone Hall, hosts and guests took their seats.
The fragrance of Spirit Tea filled the air; the atmosphere was harmonious.
Between their words, Liang Ming and his wife extolled Xu Ping, with Duan Shuang occasionally responding coldly.
