The elder from Xuancheng smiled faintly, "Young friend, today we have met by fate. This old man wishes to bestow upon you an opportunity."
Ming Zhi Tian was overjoyed. "Many thanks, senior!"
The elder from Xuancheng rotated his fingers and then pointed. A crescent moon appeared on his forehead and merged into him.
Ming Zhi Tian felt a surge of information in his mind, all related to the divine-level cultivation technique, "Xuan Xing Jue" (Mysterious Star Art).
The elder from Xuancheng stroked his white beard, a faint smile playing on his lips. "This Xuan Xing Jue will be your dowry. I bestow it upon you."
"Dowry?" Ming Zhi Tian was confused.
The elder from Xuancheng continued, "Xuan Xing Jue, using stillness to counter movement. When powerful, it can mobilize the power of the stars, gathering the vastness of the cosmos to strengthen oneself. Contemplate it well."
He then looked at the last two jars of fine wine on the table. "These two jars of Thousand Year Hundred Flower Brew..."
Ming Zhi Tian smiled slightly. "Senior, please take them."
The elder from Xuancheng nodded and smiled, storing the two jars of wine in his storage bag. "We have had a pleasant conversation today. Let us meet again if there is an opportunity. Young friend, I shall take my leave now."
Ming Zhi Tian bowed repeatedly. "Farewell!"
Given that there were previously puppet figures that possessed alchemical abilities, Ming Zhi Tian meticulously selected two assassins at the second level of the Divine Might realm. Ming Zhi Tian's mastery of mechanical arts had grown, allowing him to perfectly replicate their cultivation levels from when they were alive, though still only at the second level of the Divine Might realm.
Yin Fu found Ming Zhi Tian and informed him that tomorrow in Qiancheng, the Hua family's twin sisters, Shuang Jin, would be out seeking a husband. "They are beings of unparalleled beauty, both in appearance and figure, top-tier rare divinities. Brother Zhi Tian, shall we go tomorrow to catch a glimpse of their splendor?"
Ming Zhi Tian said, "If there's nothing else to do, it wouldn't hurt to go."
Yin Qian Zhen, standing nearby, scorned them both. "Two perverts."
The next day...
Qiancheng was filled with a multitude of people, all who had heard the news that the Hua family's twin sisters would descend the mountain today to seek a suitable husband. Whether it was true or false, everyone was eager to witness it, having prepared themselves in advance just to catch a glimpse of their beauty.
Nearly ninety percent of the young men in the vast Hua Gu State's Qiancheng had arrived, with the exception of the old, weak, and sickly scholars. Basically, all the young talents had arrived early to wait.
The nearby streets were packed with a sea of people, and the streets closest to the Silver Bowl Tower were the most bustling. This was because they had already learned that the Hua family's twin sisters would be staying here before throwing embroidered balls from above.
The chosen one would undoubtedly be their ideal husband. Therefore! Every prime location near the Silver Bowl Tower had been rented by wealthy young masters, in anticipation of the beauty falling into their arms.
An eight-bearer sedan chair proceeded down the street. Inside, the twin sisters Hua Ru Xian and Hua Ru Hua recalled their master's parting words to them: "Your life's good husband, this is my final gift to you both." With that, she ascended to immortality, leaving behind only an axe as a token of their betrothal.
The word "Unparalleled" was clearly engraved along the edge of the axe. Hua Ru Xian closed the box.
"Everyone, look quickly! The Hua family's twin sisters are here!"
All eyes turned towards them. Even the customers buying things on the street and the merchants selling their wares abandoned their tasks, rushing to catch a glimpse of their beauty!
The scene became increasingly lively, and the crowd surged. However, in their eagerness to win the favor of their beloved, they orderly moved to the sides, clearing a path for the Hua family's sedan chairs to pass.
Nobles from all factions flocked together, coming from different places. Some even traveled from distant continents, crossing vast distances to witness their beauty, and of course, to try their luck and see who would be the chosen one.
Each noble was accompanied by at least ten bodyguards, most of whom were at the second level of the Divine Might realm.
The outside of the sedan chairs was draped with powdery gauze, making it impossible to see the people inside clearly. However, through the light, one could vaguely make out the shadows of two beautiful women seated within, and catch the faint, intoxicating fragrance of their bodies, which ignited the imagination.
