A public notice was posted seeking a wife, and a female saint from the Immortal Sect was found.

After pondering for a long time, Chen Yi finally stood up from his chair. He had thought a lot about it, and the shock and pressure that Li Changqing had brought him made it difficult for him to calm down.

After leaving the hall, Chen Yi went straight to the library.

The Chen family is not particularly powerful, and they only have one cultivation method, the [Mysterious Fire Cultivation Method]. However, their library contains quite a few books.

Most of the books are about cultivating spiritual herbs, a small portion are records of interesting anecdotes and stories from the cultivation world, and the remaining two are introductions to worldly sects.

"According to the information we have, Li Changqing is the Grand Elder of the Eastern Divine Sect. I wonder if there is any information about the Eastern Divine Sect in the books."

He was most familiar with the Purple Pill Sect, which focused on alchemy. The strongest person in the sect was the sect leader, but he was only at the Great Completion stage of the Foundation Establishment realm.

Li Changqing is the Grand Elder of the Eastern Divine Sect, and he is already at the peak of the Tribulation Transcending stage. So how powerful would the sect master above him, and even the Supreme Elders, be?

Furthermore, what kind of strength would a powerful individual possess who competed with Li Changqing for the position of sect leader and defeated him?

To put it bluntly, the strength of the Eastern Divine Sect must far exceed his imagination. He now wants to understand the Eastern Divine Sect for two reasons: first, to better understand Li Changqing; and second, to determine whether keeping Li Changqing would attract the attention of this terrifying entity, the Eastern Divine Sect.

He was just a minor Qi Refining stage cultivator, and he didn't have the ability to control anything. The only thing he could do was to think things through as clearly as possible.

If we put in more effort, we might face fewer difficulties in the future.

Two books, one titled "Records of Sects" and the other "Distribution Map of Sects".

Chen Yi spent nearly two hours carefully reading through the two books, which greatly improved his understanding of sects in the world. He also memorized the names of several powerful sects within a radius of tens of thousands of miles. However, there was no introduction to the Eastern Divine Sect in either book.

"The Records of Sects only records sects within a radius of 120,000 li, while the Map of Sect Distribution records sects within a radius of 230,000 li."

It is clear that the two monks who wrote these two books never ventured beyond the scope of their records throughout their lives.

Chen Yi felt a strange mix of emotions. In fact, whether it was 120,000 li or 230,000 li, it was already a range that surprised him.

He already knew that Li Changqing had failed in his struggle for the position of sect leader and had fled 800,000 miles after exhausting all his resources, which was why he had ended up here.

Therefore, it is impossible for either book to contain any records about the Eastern Divine Sect.

What made him feel complicated was the sheer vastness of the world, which left him somewhat disoriented.

"Li Changqing fled 800,000 li to get here, which proves that the world is vast, far beyond this area. What kind of world is this?"

Chen Yi couldn't imagine whether anyone had ever traveled the entire world. Perhaps, but only a cultivator with extremely high strength could do that.

After thinking about these things for a moment, Chen Yi quickly composed himself. He felt that the bigger the world was, the better it would be for him. At least if Li Changqing stayed in the Chen family, he wouldn't be so easily targeted by the Eastern Divine Sect.

The world is too vast. No matter how powerful the Eastern Divine Sect is, it's unreasonable for it to be powerful enough to see through the entire world.

Having figured this out, Chen Yi felt a little relieved.

"Why did you decide to come to the library to read?" an old voice suddenly rang out.

Chen Yi turned around, bowed slightly, and said, "Master Fang, what brings you here?"

Judging from the voice, Chen Yi already knew that the person who came was Zhou Fang, the true pillar of the Chen family, who had reached the eighth level of the Qi Refining stage.

An old and thin figure approached Chen Yi. His hair had long since turned white, and even though he was an eighth-level Qi Refining cultivator, his eyes were somewhat cloudy.

He was already an old man over a hundred years old, and even at the peak of the ninth level of Qi Refining, the lifespan was only one hundred and fifty years.

"I've come to see you. Are you feeling any better today?" Zhou Fang finally spoke.

Chen Yi quickly replied, "I'm much better now. I estimate I'll be fully recovered in another five or six days. I'm sorry to have worried you these past few days, Master Fang."

"You little rascal, why are you being so polite with me?" Zhou Fang put on a stern face, but his eyes clearly showed that he had breathed a sigh of relief.

Before Chen Yi could speak, Zhou Fang continued, "You've met this young lady, Li Changqing, haven't you?"

He came here for two reasons: first, to check on Chen Yi's recovery, and second, to discuss the matter between Chen Yi and Li Changqing.

Upon hearing this, Chen Yi nodded: "I have met her. Liu Shen told me before that you, Master Fang, had a very high opinion of Miss Li. After meeting her, I also think that Miss Li is indeed very good."

He selectively told Zhou Fang about his meeting with Li Changqing, but he didn't mention Li Changqing's true identity or background.

In some situations, it's best for him to know the truth himself; saying more won't do any good.

"That's good. Since you think it's good and have asked the young lady to leave these words, then the matter is seven-tenths settled." Zhou Fang smiled.

Chen Yi wore a silly grin on his face, but inwardly he was wryly smiling.

Seven points?

For now, if there's even a tiny chance of success, then Chen Yi is truly remarkable.

After laughing, Zhou Fang's face showed a hint of melancholy. He sighed and said, "I'm 106 years old this year. According to my own intuition, I probably won't last many more years."

Having reached the eighth level of the Qi Refining stage, this age is almost the end of one's life. At this age, it is impossible to break through to the ninth level of the Qi Refining stage, and as for the Foundation Establishment stage, it is something that one no longer dares to even think about.

Chen Yi paused for a moment, then bowed deeply and said, "Master Fang, you've worked hard all these years."

He really wanted to say that he would try his best to find some miraculous medicines that could prolong life or improve blood circulation, so that Mr. Fang could last for more than just a few more years.

But he didn't say it in the end, because whether he said it or not was not important; what mattered was whether he could do it. He had already made this goal in his mind.

"What do you mean by hardship? I'm not saying this to hear you talk about that. What I want to say is that after living almost a lifetime, I still have some discernment when it comes to people," Zhou Fang said, waving his hand.

Then, he continued very seriously: "Liu Shen and I both think that Li Changqing is a very good girl. During this time, she has been very poised and generous in her dealings with people and in her manners and speech. She has never been impatient when chatting with an old man like me."

"People, no matter who they are, some things can't be hidden or faked. This girl is very kind, and she clearly really wants to stay in the Chen family."

"I'm quite happy that you've decided to let the young lady stay. In this way, if I hold on for a few more years, and Changqing cultivates for a few more years, she should have reached the eighth or ninth level of strength. In this way, the Chen family can continue to live in peace."

"You've always been a hot-tempered and impulsive guy, but with Changqing around, I feel a bit more at ease."

Zhou Fang stopped talking after a while, and it was clear that he was very relieved.

Chen Yi paused for a moment. He didn't deny that what Master Fang said was the mature wisdom of someone who had experienced the world, but when it came to judging people...

Compared to Li Changqing, Fang Ye suddenly seemed too inexperienced, like a greenhorn.

I was really wrong this time. Li Changqing is after our Chen family. Of course, I'm after her body too. Without her body, we can't have more children.

Without dwelling on these thoughts, Chen Yi said, "Master Fang, you have excellent judgment. I will keep your words in mind."

Zhou Fang nodded and said, "Since the decision has been made, we should give them what we should, such as pills and cultivation resources that the Chen family can provide. If we are unwilling to give up these things, we cannot help the young lady improve her strength quickly."

After thinking for a moment, Zhou Fang added, "Of course, the most important thing is the two of you. Since you've posted a notice to find a wife, the proper wedding and other formalities are essential. Although we are cultivators, we are still worldly people at heart, so let's follow worldly customs and choose an auspicious day for the wedding. What do you think?"

"I think it's a good idea. I'll discuss this with Li Changqing," Chen Yi said immediately.

After saying that, he couldn't help but imagine how Li Changqing would react when he discussed this matter with him.

Zhou Fang nodded repeatedly: "That's excellent. You should quickly discuss and come to a conclusion."

…………

The next day, early in the morning, Liu Shen arranged for someone to prepare a room in the courtyard where Chen Yi was staying.

The courtyard was actually quite large, with eight or nine rooms that could be lived in. However, Liu Shen took the initiative to tidy up and furnish another empty room next to Chen Yi's room.

After everyone had left, Li Changqing carried a small package and officially moved into the courtyard.

"If you need anything in the future, just let me know," Chen Yi said casually as he showed Li Changqing around the cleaned-up room.

Li Changqing nodded, but before he could speak, Chen Yi continued, "I'll show you around the Chen family, and let you see their medicine garden and shops in the market. This will introduce you to everyone in the Chen family, and let them know that the family has you now. From now on, they will listen to your every command."

"Also, I'll give you ten bottles of Spirit Gathering Pills tonight. Use them as you like, and just let me know if you need more."

Li Changqing was stunned for a moment, his eyes looking at Chen Yi, a strange feeling rising in his heart.

It's not hard to guess the meaning behind Chen Yi's actions; he simply wanted the entire Chen family to know that she would soon become the matriarch of the Chen family.

Furthermore, before she could even speak, Chen Yi had already offered to give her the Spirit Condensation Pill.

Chen Yi isn't stupid, so why would he be so completely unguarded around her?

At this moment, she couldn't quite understand Chen Yi. Chen Yi's attitude was clearly unreasonable, which meant that Chen Yi had designs on her.

In that instant, she couldn't discern Chen Yi's intentions.

Chen Yi didn't care what Li Changqing was thinking, and of course he didn't think that some small favors would make Li Changqing look at him differently or feel grateful.

Such thinking is too naive.

He was simply putting out some bait to create a feeding area; fishing starts with creating a feeding area, and you're bound to get something eventually.
