NOVPUB"Xiangsi, in one month, our master is getting married," the young man said with a faint smile.
"I know he’s marrying Sister Qingqing and Sister Mengmeng. They’re so lucky," the elegant young girl said, her face tilted upward, her expression was cheerful and excited.
"Are they really that happy... " the young man whispered.
So, were you happy, little sister?
Initially, I took the initiative to become the master’s disciple when I saw the signs. To a large extent, it was to make you give up this notion. However, several years have passed and your affections for the master have deepened.
You thought I didn’t know?
Actually, I was just pretending!
These two were none other than Guan Jinshui and Guan Xiangsi.
Watching his sister pretending so blatantly, tightly clutching a common gift Lin Yun once gave, Guan Jinshui sighed lightly in his heart.
He wanted to guide his sister but didn’t know how to approach it.
...
A month quickly passed by.
"I’ve fully stabilized at the peak of level eight in martial arts, and my mental strength has also reached the peak of level ten. I can now put up a fight against cultivators in the initial phase of level ten," Lin Yun got up and said quietly.
The wedding ceremony had already begun. Representatives of the major forces on this administrative star had arrived. Even the surrounding administrative stars had sent their representatives upon hearing the news.
Lin Yun’s crew, along with his 180,000 subordinates, were all practicing on the battleship.
They had erected a luxurious building next to the battleship for the wedding.
On Earth, the building robots and equipment Lin Yun purchased could construct several Qingyun Buildings over a thousand stories in a day.
When Lin Yun left Earth, he packed up most of the building robots and equipment.
This building had more than twelve hundred floors and was of much higher grade than the Qingyun Building on Earth.
Lin Yun didn’t want to show off too much advanced technology and wanted to progress gradually when building Qingyun Building on Earth. Hence, a lot of technologies he used were not top-notch.
However, this place was a grade-six civilization star domain with powerful technologies. This building was meant for Lin Yun’s marriage to Xia Qingqing and Lin Mengmeng, so it couldn’t be too shabby.
In addition to the building robots, many powerful subordinates were helping too. It took twenty-days to complete this building.
Not only was its grade much higher than that of the Earth’s Qingyun Building,
But even all the constructions on this administrative planet paled in comparison.
Considering the twelve hundred plus floors...
Though this administrative star had several billions of people, the planet was dozens of times bigger than Earth. Coupled with advanced technology, many places could be utilized, so there was no shortage of living space.
The administrative star had equipment that could absorb and refine spiritual energy, but it didn’t require people to concentrate.
That’s why buildings this tall were rare on the administrative star.
When this skyscraper was being built, many locals watched from afar in astonishment.
Some were stunned by the height, others were disdainful.
They found living in such a tall building inconvenient.
They simply considered it the type of building only uncouth people would like to construct.
Only some of the big shots watched from a distance with solemn expressions: "With so many level-five cultivators and more than ten thousand level-six cultivators, the strength of Fang Keqing’s homeland is far superior than most anticipated. Fang Keqing’s future is boundless," they commented.
Though the Kodis Empire was a grade-six civilization, it was a technologically advanced civilization. Like in the Kodis Empire, level-five and level-six cultivators were considered elite figures.
Especially level-six cultivators.
Even for construction, mobilizing tens of thousands of level-six cultivators was a show of great extravagance. Who would dare claim that there were only this many of level-six cultivators on this battleship?
There were at least tens of thousands of cultivators at the sixth level. What about those at the seventh level? The eighth level? The ninth level?
They had already seen that there were two ninth-level cultivators testing their mettle aboard this battleship. Who could say for sure that there weren’t even more ninth-level cultivators on it?
Once the building was completed, the prelude to the wedding started, and representatives of major powers were ushered in one after another.
At this point, they were utterly fascinated by this edifice.
Many extravagant decorations, cutting-edge technologies, were in place. Most of which, even they, as prominent figures from a major power inhabiting an administrative star, had never seen before.
All in all, it was like a fantastical realm.
Powerful cultivators acting as attendants, they treated them courteously with respect.
This place, it was like a true fantasy kingdom.
"Are these really products of Kodis Empire’s technology…"
"I heard that recently, the royal family summoned Fang Keqing and granted him many items. Could these be the technologies bestowed by the royal family…"
"They must be!"
"The cost of this building is at least fifty billion spirit crystals. That’s roughly the price of a mid-tier battleship from a sixth-level civilized society. This building is practically built from spirit crystals!"
Representatives from major powers voiced their astonishment one by one.
Items in reality are generally more expensive than those in the Cosmic Trading System. On the Cosmic Trading System, a mid-tier battleship from a sixth-level civilized society is sold for just thirty billion spirit crystals.
But in the Kodis Empire, it demands approximately fifty billion spirit crystals.
The tones of some people were quite complex. Could Fang Ao build such an extravagant building on this administrative star without any ulterior motives? Or was he truly attaching great importance to this wedding?
If it was the former, they had no power to resist!
If it was the latter, they had to tread more carefully!
The protagonist of a wedding greatly valued by Fang Ao had to be treated with even higher regard by them!
"I heard that recently, when the royal family summoned Fang Ao, they bestowed upon him three top-tier battleships from a sixth-level civilized society. Who knows how many other items and spirit crystals they bestowed upon him. Overnight wealth can often lead to inflated pride and reckless squandering, maybe that’s why he spent so extravagantly on this wedding..."
A representative from a major power pondered aloud.
Upon hearing this, the other representatives from major powers nodded in agreement.
Most of them were high-born, and had received an advanced education. They were very clear about this kind of mentality.
It was human nature, a struggle most people succumb to.
Typically, it would take some time for such people to settle down.
Many had missed their best opportunities because of their inability to control their impulses.
Most of them came from major powers and had been educated to understand and control these very mental tendencies. Even those who hadn’t come from major powers were the very best of the elite - most of them had experienced such a situation at some point.
"However, the scale of this wedding is so grand, we can’t skimp on the presents…." After a pause, someone remarked.
"Yes, they spent at least fifty billion spirit crystals just on the venue. We can’t give them less!" Discover more stories at freewebnovel
"Yes! We have to increase the amount of our gifts!"
Many people nodded in agreement.
Soon after, several of them began sending messages home to swiftly discuss the matter of how much to give.
What would be Fang Ao’s reaction, if their gifts turned out to be worth far less than his investment?
At the same time, many other representatives of major powers began to contemplate this matter.
Once one reached their level of influence, every move required careful consideration.
This was why they had been able to get to where they were.
