Li Yunjing officially proposes marriage to Yu Yunyi, presenting valuable elixirs and four significant betrothal gifts approved by his Sect Leader. The Yu Family, impressed by his sincerity and the gifts—including insights into the "Path of the Five Elements" and a powerful pill furnace—readily accepts the proposal. Wedding arrangements are planned for Rising Sun Peak, with Li Yunjing promising an unforgettable ceremony.

Before his voice fell, the Bronze Pill Furnace suddenly hummed, and the body of the furnace revealed the phantom of a phoenix ready to soar.

The teacup in Shen Yurou’s hand nearly fell to the ground, and Yu Zhenhai’s beard trembled slightly in shock.

Seventh or eighth grade elixirs mean they can help cultivators transcend the shackles of their realm.

Even within the Shenxiao Dao Sect, this Tier Three Lower Grade Pill Furnace is a precious treasure.

At this moment, it is actually being given as a betrothal gift, leaving the members of the Yu Family feeling as if they are in a dream.

They all wondered whether they had heard Li Yunjing clearly.

Even more astonishing was the seal, engraved with the Four Symbols totem slowly rotating, causing the void to ripple like water, with faint sounds of dragon roars and tiger howls.

"This is..."

Yu Zhenshan’s throat rolled.

The other Yu Family members also looked curiously at Li Yunjing, wanting to hear his explanation.

"This is the ’Mountain Stabilizing Seal’, unrivaled in offense and defense, it is a heavy item among treasure artifacts, equivalent to a great mountain!"

Li Yunjing raised his hand to gently stroke the seal, which suddenly radiated golden light, "The younger generation understands the hardship of the Yu Family guarding Yue Ming City, this seal represents my sincerity towards the in-laws."

Finally, he pointed to the jade box, amidst the swirling cold mist, three "Dragon Breath Pills", crystal clear and elusive.

"This item is a dragon race elixir, able to bring the dead back to life and heal bones, given to the younger generation in need within the family."

After introducing the dragon race treasures, Li Yunjing finished presenting all the betrothal gifts.

These four treasures, along with the previous greeting gifts Li Yunjing presented, greatly stunned the members of the Yu Family.

The hall fell silent, with only the sound of rapid breathing.

The elders of the Yu Family and the immediate family members all stood up, their gazes at Li Yunjing shifting from the scrutiny of elders to reverence.

Shen Yurou’s eyes were slightly red; she never imagined the Shenxiao Dao Sect would offer such substantial gifts, any of these treasures would provoke bloody battles among second-tier sects, yet now they all became her daughter’s dowry.

"Such generous gifts from Nephew..."

Yu Zhenhai’s voice trembled as he crumpled the gift list into a ball and tossed it into the air, "If the Yu Family asks for more betrothal gifts, we would be ungrateful!"

He slapped the table fiercely, causing spirit tea to spill, "From today, Yunyi is handed over to your care!"

"With a son-in-law like you, I believe Yunyi will definitely be happy!"

Suddenly, a strong wind swept through the outside, and the young prodigy disciples of the Yu Family gathered outside the carved window lattice to gaze inside. When they saw the spatial ripples stirred by the Four Symbols Seal, several young cultivators whispered excitedly.

The most notable among them, the genius girl Yu Qingyao, stared at Li Yunjing’s back with glowing eyes.

It was the instinctive admiration for strength, and a yearning for the profound Dao.

"Quick! Quickly bring the family’s treasured millennium cold jade bed here!"

Yu Zhenhai suddenly instructed loudly, "Nephew came from afar, he must live comfortably!"

He then turned to whisper a few words to the steward, moments later, the restriction of the Yu Family vault opened with a booming noise, and thirty-six boxes of spirit stone were brought to the hall front, "These spirit stones, are meant as additional dowry for Yunyi, I hope Nephew won’t decline!"

Shen Yurou wiped tears from the corner of her eyes and personally brought the teacup to Li Yunjing, this time the surface of the spirit tea condensed into lotus-shaped spiritual energy, "Son-in-law will be the backbone of the Yu Family; if there’s anything you need from us, just speak!"

As soon as she finished speaking, the younger members of the hall were already shouting uniformly, the repeated cries of "Greetings to the son-in-law" seemed to make the resources tremble.

"All of you, please spare the courtesy, we are all family, no need for such formality."

Li Yunjing stood and gestured with his hands, threads of mana from his whole body transformed into invisible waves, lifting everyone up, this display of effortless control added three points of respect in the hearts of the Yu Family members.

At this moment, Li Yunjing’s gaze suddenly fell on the steward!

"Steward Li!"

Without considering further conversation with the Yu Family members, Li Yunjing looked towards Steward Li.

Forty years had passed without meeting him, Steward Li had aged significantly.

Steward Li hunched, standing in the corner of the hall, his white hair like frost cascading over his dark blue long robe, his face weathered with wrinkles etched by the passing years.

Those hands once adept at serving tea and water, now covered in age spots.

The master that Li Yunjing once looked up to is now old and frail.

Steward Li’s talent wasn’t particularly strong, nor was he part of the Yu Family’s immediate line, naturally, he would not receive focused cultivation.

Now, not seen in forty years, Steward Li’s cultivation remained at the Foundation Establishment Realm Sixth Heaven!

If nothing unexpected happens, he will not have the chance to break through to the Golden Core Realm!

Within the Yu Family, he had also become marginalized, no longer the prominent steward but just a regular manager.

If it weren’t for his significant contributions, having accompanied many of the Yu Family’s important figures, he would probably be retired and no longer receive resources from the family.

At this moment, a glimmer of joy flashed in Steward Li’s murky eyes, only to hurriedly lower his head, seemingly afraid to meet Li Yunjing’s gaze, losing the aura of conversing easily with Li Yunjing.

"Old servant... dares not accept the address from the son-in-law."

Steward Li’s voice was hoarse as if sandpaper had scraped past, gasping for breath with each word.

The once upright, sharp-eyed middle-aged man found it difficult even to straighten his back now.

Many Yu Family members curiously looked at this elder whose potential had been exhausted!

Steward Li shouldn’t have become like this!

Yet he had suffered severe injuries for the Yu Family that wounded his origin, and being over four hundred years old, he had long entered the twilight of his life.

Even some Yu Family juniors didn’t regard this steward highly.

Unexpectedly, he actually knew the son-in-law?

Li Yunjing, visibly moved, hurried forward without concern, the breeze from his robe’s hem flipping the gift list on the ground.

At this moment, his eyes focused solely on the elder!

Years ago, on the way to the Shenxiao Mountain Range, he nearly died.

Were it not for the rescue by Yu Yunyi and Steward Li, how would he have today’s glory?

Li Yunjing, in all his deeds, holds true to the principle: if you honor me by a foot, I will repay you with a yard!

This elder and his interactions had only occurred twice, but in Li Yunjing’s heart, his standing was no less than that of friends like Fu Chao, Ma Xingyuan!
