Chat group: Living in a fantasy world, investing in countless realms

Ma Wencai did as he was told, downloaded the Nine Great Divine Incantations of Tai Xuan, wrote them down on paper, and provided them to his father for reference.

While he was writing, Ma's father stood to the side and began to recite.

As the chanting began, a radiant light shone from Ma Fu's body, making him appear divine and extraordinary.

A moment later, after he finished reciting a divine incantation, his entire demeanor changed.

Previously, Ma's father was a frail man, exuding an air of scholarly refinement.

Now, he exudes an aura of authority that inspires awe.

After moving his hands and feet, he felt even more comfortable all over, as if he had inexhaustible energy.

Reaching the center of the room, he lifted a bronze incense burner weighing over a hundred pounds with just two fingers.

"Incredible, truly incredible! It is indeed a true immortal technique. Dao Lord, your supernatural powers are truly boundless!"

After reciting the incantation once, Ma's father became a loyal follower of Zhang Taixuan.

Upon seeing this, Ma Wencai looked surprised and began to recite it as well. After a moment, he also experienced the feeling of becoming stronger.

“Father, this is much more comfortable than studying.”

*Smack!*

"Silly boy, you still need to study. How can you rule the world if you only have strength but no wisdom!"

Ma Wencai asked in surprise, "Isn't it you, Father, who will be the emperor?"

"Why should I be the emperor?" Father Ma was speechless. "You're the one who's more suitable to be the emperor. With the connections in the chat group, your reign will be as stable as Mount Tai."

"Yes."

"Since the divine incantation has demonstrated its power, it means those cultivation techniques are genuine. From now on, you don't need to worry about family matters. Focus on acquiring cultivation techniques, cultivating to become an immortal, and then ruling the world."

"Yes, Father."

"One more thing, our family also needs to worship the Tai Xuan Dao Jun, and your daily incense offerings must not be interrupted."

"Yes."

Seeing his father's strategic planning, Ma Wencai was filled with admiration.

In terms of intelligence and wisdom, he was inferior to his father; in terms of social skills, he was also inferior.

He was almost fooled by Li Shimin into cooperating with him, but when his father heard about it, he immediately overturned his previous idea ("Okay, okay").

"Master, the Master of the Zhu Family has sent a visiting card!"

"The Zhu family?" Father Ma's eyes narrowed. "It seems that Zhu Yingtai's family has arrived."

Turn around and walk out.

Ma Wencai asked in surprise, "Didn't Father say not to provoke Zhu Yingtai?"

“We won’t provoke them, but we can treat this as a favor and give it away,” Father Ma laughed heartily. “Go and cultivate quickly; you’ll have plenty to learn about these things in the future!”

"As a favor?" Upon hearing this, Ma Wencai suddenly realized, his face filled with shame. "Father, you really think too much. It seems that being the head of a noble family isn't so easy. You have to calculate everything carefully and make the most of everything. I'm still far behind you, Father. I only wanted to avoid Zhu Yingtai and never thought of giving her to Daojun as a favor!"

Upon arriving in the living room, Ma's father indeed saw the Zhu family members, an old man who looked like a butler.

Upon seeing Mr. Ma arrive, the old man bowed deeply, displaying great respect.

"Are you from the Zhu family?" Father Ma asked.

"Replying to Master Ma, I am honored to be the steward of the Zhu family and have come on behalf of the head of the family to deliver this visiting card," the steward replied hastily.

Mr. Ma took the visiting card, examined it carefully, and understood immediately: "They really want to arrange a marriage."

Looking at the steward, he asked, "I've heard that the daughter of the Zhu family once attended a private school and lived with men. Is that true?"

“Master Ma, you can’t speak nonsense! This will damage Miss’s reputation. Miss is still unmarried and has never gone out.” The steward said angrily, “Which family is ruining my young lady’s reputation? It’s outrageous!”

"Alright, alright." Father Ma waved his hand. "I just heard someone mention this on the street and asked. Since the Zhu family's daughter has no problem with it, then please let the Zhu family head come and discuss this marriage in three days."

"Yes, Master Ma."

With mixed feelings, the Zhu family's butler left the Ma family.

After the Zhu family left, Ma's father clapped his hands, and the next moment, an old man who looked like a manager entered the living room.

"Old Xu, the Zhu family wants to form a marriage alliance with my Ma family. Go and investigate the Zhu family's background. This matter is extremely important; we can't be careless," Father Ma solemnly instructed. "If anything goes wrong, you know the consequences!"

"Rest assured, sir. I have served the Ma family for over thirty years, and I have never made a mistake!"

“This matter is different; you must be a hundred times, a thousand times more careful than usual,” Father Ma emphasized solemnly.

There are many rules to follow when giving gifts and doing favors.

If the other party has a tarnished reputation or other flaws, sending them there is not doing a favor, but rather offending them.

As the head of the Ma family, Mr. Ma had a lot of experience in giving gifts.

"Yes, sir."

Two days later.

When Butler Xu returned, he had a happy expression on his face.

“Master, I have asked around, and the Miss Zhu has never left the house, nor has there ever been any bad rumors about her.”

"How about his good looks and character?" Father Ma asked again, feeling reassured.

Steward Xu praised, "Master, the Zhu family is very strict in managing their household, and their daughter is very well-educated, so there's no problem. As for her appearance, I paid a lot of money to inquire about her from the Zhu family's maids, and she is indeed very beautiful. This is the reason why the Zhu family is so confident that she can marry into our Ma family."

"Good." Father Ma clapped his hands approvingly. "Go down and collect your reward."

(aiaa) "Yes."

The next day.

The head of the Zhu family arrived in high spirits and, upon seeing Mr. Ma, greeted him with a fawning expression.

Although the Zhu family was also a wealthy family, they were not as powerful as the Ma family.

This marriage alliance is a way for the Zhu family to curry favor with the Ma family, so he naturally has to be careful.

The two sat down in the living room.

Ma's father waved his hand, dismissing the servants.

“I am aware of Patriarch Zhu’s intentions,” Father Ma said with a smile. “However, I have another suggestion. I wonder if Patriarch Zhu would be willing to listen?”

"What suggestions does Patriarch Ma have?"

The head of the Zhu family paused for a moment. He had thought it was a sure thing, but unexpectedly, something went wrong. He secretly wondered what had gone wrong.

"The Zhu family's daughter is exceptionally beautiful and has been favored by a Daoist master. I wonder if it would be possible to present her to that Daoist master?"

Upon hearing this, the head of the Zhu family was instantly filled with rage.

I married you only to curry favor with those in power.

Your Ma family is really something, directly giving my daughter to a Taoist priest. What are your intentions?

Wouldn't this mean that they couldn't curry favor with the powerful and wealthy, and they'd given away a daughter for nothing?

"Master Ma, you've gone too far!"

Father Ma laughed heartily: "It's not surprising that Patriarch Zhu has this idea. Come, look at this!"

As he spoke, he placed a piece of silk in front of the Zhu family patriarch.

“Recite it with your heart, and you will find its profound mystery.”

"The Great Brightness Mantra?" Upon seeing this, the Zhu family head was utterly speechless.

Unexpectedly, the head of the Ma family also enjoys discussing metaphysics and philosophy.

This chanting of scriptures has driven people crazy!

How could such a shrewd person believe such a thing?

Although he had doubts, he could not resist the burning gaze of his father and could only recite the mantra.

After all, circumstances are beyond one's control. If one goes along with the head of the Ma family first, and then discusses the marriage later, there will naturally be a chance.

If they were to fall out directly, things would get complicated for both sides.

No—it's more likely that the Zhu family will suffer heavy losses.

As the chanting began, the head of the Zhu family initially felt a little ashamed, but gradually, he felt his mind calm down, and a warm current flowed through his body, making him feel comfortable all over, as if he had returned to his youth.

Even more shockingly, he felt his body was glowing.

After reading it once, Father Zhu felt that his body had become several times stronger, and he had inexhaustible strength. Even the wrinkled skin on the back of his hands had become smoother.

"This……"

Father Ma laughed and said, "Well? Does this Daoist priest meet your standards?"

"Could there be a true immortal here?" The Zhu family patriarch's voice trembled. "I originally thought that Taoist priests in the world were just people who made a fuss, but I never expected that they really have supernatural powers and magic. It's too late to regret it. If I had known, I should have gone to seek immortals and visit the Tao much earlier."

"Wait, wait," Father Ma chuckled. "This isn't something from our world. It was created by a Daoist from another world. Even if Patriarch Zhu had sought the Dao in his youth, he wouldn't have been able to obtain the true methods of immortality."

"Previously, Patriarch Ma said he would offer my daughter to the Dao Lord. Is that the Dao Lord who created the True Law?" Patriarch Zhu's breathing quickened. "Is this really true?"
