Chapter 257 Wedding Date, Blessings
"I have some money on hand, so I can prepare the betrothal gifts myself. Master and Madam don't have to worry about it."
Jin Renfeng spoke.
Jin Renfeng didn't care about the amount of the betrothal gift.
Over the years, he had not used any of the money seized from the Demon Cult or the thank-you gifts from the Lin and Liu families.
All things added up, there were more than 30,000 taels of silver, which, converted into later currency, would be worth more than 10 million.
It is more than enough to buy the betrothal gifts.
Ning Zhongze nodded.
"You are good at business and you are tight-fisted, so I am not worried about the money."
Then she pinched her fingers, counted the days, and said to Yue Buqun beside her,
"Brother, how about choosing a date for the engagement in January?"
"With this time, I can also ask someone to find a matchmaker and buy some dowry for Lingshan."
"It's all up to Junior Sister."
Yue Buqun nodded.
At this point, he had no excuse to object and could only go along with it.
Jin Renfeng also expressed no objection.
Weddings in ancient times were very complicated and often took months to prepare. Getting engaged after this month was normal.
"Then the engagement date will be after January."
Seeing that the two had no objection, Ning Zhongze made the decision.
"Master's wife, I have no objection to the engagement. But there is one thing that I am a little concerned about."
Jin Renfeng spoke.
"What's so difficult for you?"
Ning Zhongze frowned.
"I would like to ask Master's wife to postpone the wedding date for now."
Jin Renfeng clasped his fists and bowed.
"That's strange. Once the marriage certificate is signed, most newlyweds are eager to get married as soon as possible. Why do you take the initiative to ask for a postponement?"
Ning Zhongze's tone was surprised.
"Master's Wife, I had a grudge with the Songshan Sect because of the matter of retiring from the underworld."
"When I was at Liu's house, I felt that the Songshan Sect was overbearing. If things go as expected, they will cause trouble again in the near future."
"If we set a wedding date in the near future, there's no guarantee that those people from the Songshan Sect won't come and disrupt it."
"Although our Huashan Sect is not afraid of Songshan, it is inevitable that we will lose face if someone disturbs our happy event."
"Therefore, the disciple hopes to postpone the wedding for the time being."
Jin Renfeng was not afraid of the Songshan Sect, but if a few small fry disrupted his wedding, it would inevitably ruin the joyous atmosphere.
That's why I want to postpone the marriage.
"That's a real problem."
After hearing what he said, Ning Zhongze frowned.
"What do you think, senior brother?"
Yue Buqun said.
"The Songshan Sect launched the attack when Liu Zhengfeng was retiring. It was obviously premeditated."
"In addition, when we were at Liu's house, Renfeng also humiliated the Songshan Sect. Given Senior Brother Zuo's personality, it is almost inevitable that he will come to cause trouble."
"If our Huashan Sect were to plan a wedding in the near future, there is indeed a possibility that the same mistake would be repeated."
"In that case, Renfeng's proposal is reasonable."
Ning Zhongze nodded.
"Let's do as Renfeng wishes! Let's sign the marriage certificate first and postpone the wedding."
"With the marriage certificate, the marriage is done. There is no need to rush into it."
"Thank you for your understanding, Madam."
Jin Renfeng bowed.
. . . . . .
The golden man phoenix walked slowly towards the top of the Jade Maiden Peak.
Because he had to prepare for the engagement, his master exempted him from the punishment of facing the wall. At the same time, because the plan was foiled, Linghu Chong was also exempted from the punishment.
He went up the mountain this time to inform Linghu Chong of the good news.
When they reached the top of the mountain, they saw Linghu Chong sitting on a huge rock with a pot of wine in his hand.
"Brother, can you have a drink with me?"
Seeing him coming, Linghu Chong called out.
"Junior brother, you know I don't like drinking."
Jin Renfeng frowned.
"Today is a special case. Let's celebrate the good news for our brother."
Linghu Chong placed two wine glasses.
Jin Renfeng remained silent. Looking at the depressed Linghu Chong, he said,
"You know everything about Lingshan?"
"Seventh Junior Brother knows my feelings, so he mentioned it to me a long time ago."
Linghu Chong silently poured wine into the glass.
"Sorry, I didn't mean to hide it from you!"
The golden man Feng lifted up his skirt and sat cross-legged on the boulder.
"There's nothing to apologize for."
Linghu Chong pretended to be carefree and said,
"I've known since I was little that my junior sister likes my senior brother."
"Since childhood?"
Jin Renfeng raised his eyes, he didn't know this.
In the past, in order to gain the power of cause and effect, he had advised his junior sister many times.
This won't annoy her, how can it be liked by others?
Linghu Chong put down the wine pot, lowered his eyebrows,
"You are serious and conscientious, polite and hardworking, just like your master."
"I have been used to seeing my master and his wife since I was a child, so I thought that all couples are like this.
Naturally, I will like a man like Master."
"The more you persuade her, the more she will think you are a good man, worthy of entrusting her life to."
At this point, he smiled bitterly.
"And a playboy like me would not please her."
Jin Renfeng remained silent. He didn't know there was such a thing.
He picked up the wine jug and filled Linghu Chong's cup.
Linghu Chong looked miserable. He raised his glass and drank it all.
He had grown up with his junior sister since childhood, and after more than ten years of getting along, he had already fallen deeply in love with her. Now that the person he loved was getting married, he felt extremely uncomfortable.
However, the person that his junior sister married happened to be the senior brother who grew up with them, which made him want to get angry but he didn't know where to vent.
I can only drink here to vent.
"I knew it from the beginning. I knew it from the beginning."
"It's just that I won't give up!"
He mumbled something, his words slurring.
Jin Renfeng silently raised his glass and drank with him.
After a few drinks, they were both drunk and their eyes were hazy.
Before he had finished the pot of wine, Linghu Chong lay down on the stone, his clothes draped over his shoulders, and fell into a deep sleep.
Jin Renfeng knew that with Linghu Chong's alcohol tolerance, he would never be drunk by such a small amount of wine.
As the saying goes, it is not the wine that makes people drunk, but people themselves.
Now he looks like this, clearly intoxicated in his heart rather than in his body.
Worried that he would catch a cold in this winter, Jin Renfeng took a quilt from the wooden house and covered Linghu Chong with it.
"Flowers bloom and fall without regrets, fate comes and goes like water."
Standing in front of Linghu Chong, Jin Renfeng said softly. From the beginning to the end, he had no intention of stealing the love of his junior sister, but the little sister fell in love with him, which he could not have expected.
"Junior brother, fate is destined by heaven. If it doesn't happen, it's better to let it go as soon as possible."
"The world is big, and there are many good women. You may meet someone who understands you in the future."
After saying that, Jin Renfeng turned and left.
Now that it has come to this, he cannot just give up his Junior Sister. He can only try to comfort Linghu Chong and ask him to let it go as soon as possible.
Although he knew it was useless, it was the only thing he could do.
"Big Brother, I wish you and Little Sister happiness."
A murmur sounded behind me.
Jin Renfeng turned around and saw Linghu Chong still looking drunk and asleep.
He nodded slightly.
Linghu Chong is such a person. As long as you treat him well, you don't need to worry about him betraying you or attacking you at any time.
"I also wish you, Junior Brother, to find your beloved one soon."
Jin Renfeng said softly.
. . . . . .
Jin Renfeng walked into the wooden house and closed the door.
He doesn't want to move away from here for the time being.
Although the master has lifted the house arrest order, the top of the Jade Maiden Peak is still a quiet place for cultivation. It is suitable for his next practice.
Standing in the middle of the room, Jin Renfeng summoned the Samsara Mirror and opened the illusion of cause and effect.
The surrounding environment suddenly turned into rays of light, and after a moment, it returned to normal.
The illusion began, Jin Renfeng did not dare to delay, he sat cross-legged on the cushion and practiced his newly created martial arts.
True Qi originates from Dantian and flows along the meridians to all parts of the body.
In order to solve the problem of fire control.
Jin Renfeng integrated the Pure Yang Heart Sutra into his martial arts just like the Five Thunders Orthodox Method.
The Five Thunders Orthodox Method is also a method of cultivation, but during the practice one can automatically master the Five Qi and control the Five Thunders.
With the help of the Five Thunders Method, Jin Renfeng transformed the fire power of the Pure Yang Heart Sutra into the magical power of heart fire qi.
In this way, the fire power is completely linked to the fire Qi of the heart. As the skill level increases, the fire power will become more and more powerful.
The flow of true Qi allows the innate Qi to flow along the Shaoyin Heart Meridian of the Hand to the heart meridian.
This is the key point of the integration of the exercises. If this can run smoothly, the exercises will be successfully completed.
The true Qi flowed into his heart meridians, and Jin Renfeng didn't dare to breathe, for fear of any accidents.
However, the more you fear something, the more it will come.
Suddenly, the fire in the heart suddenly rose, and a ray of fire energy emerged, burning the meridians with fierce heat, quickly rushing to the whole body, causing severe pain.
"This is?"
Jin Renfeng was sweating profusely and felt a burning pain all over his body.
A blazing light emerged from his chest, illuminating his entire chest like a lantern.
After a moment, he cried out in pain, and the illusion around him shattered into pieces like shattered glass.
When he opened his eyes again, Jin Renfeng had returned to the real wooden house.
"I just died?"
Jin Renfeng was still frightened.
The death in the illusion was too real, and he still feels a little scared.
He stood up, walked to the cabinet beside him, poured himself a cup of tea, and drank it all in one gulp.
"This creative method is indeed full of obstacles."
Holding the teacup, Jin Renfeng muttered to himself,
"If I hadn't practiced the technique in an illusion, I would probably be dead by now."
However, why does the rising fire of the heart have such a great impact?
He was somewhat puzzled.
The previous Five Thunders Method also involved the generation of heart fire Qi, but it did not cause the kind of severe pain like it was causing now, as if the entire person was being burned.
Jin Renfeng stroked his chin, thinking about the reason.
Could it be that the excessive fire in the heart has caused the imbalance of the five elements?
He thought of a possibility
Because he incorporated the fire power of the Pure Yang Heart Sutra, he adjusted the Five Qi practice method of the Dragon and Tiger Mixed Origin Technique.
Today's heart fire Qi is much stronger than the other four elements.
"The imbalance of the five elements, the conflict between kidney water and heart fire, may indeed cause the disorder of true qi, and then endanger life."
"But if that's the case, then the Dragon and Tiger Mixed Yuan Gong that runs Yang Wu Lei shouldn't have this kind of problem."
Jin Renfeng thought to himself.
If there really is a problem with the Heart Fire Qi, then giving up the Kidney Water and Liver Wood Qi and focusing on the Heart Fire and Lung Metal Qi's Yang Five Thunders should be extremely compatible with the current Fire Power.
After all, without the other three Qi, there would be no problem of imbalance and conflict.
Thinking of this, Jin Renfeng took out the incomplete version of "Dragon and Tiger Mixed Origin Kung Fu" which only incorporated Yang Wulei, and incorporated the modified fire power part into it.
Because they were of the same origin, the fusion went extremely smoothly. In less than half an hour, Jin Renfeng had created a new technique.
Afterwards, he opened the illusion again and tried the method.
As the true Qi circulated, it soon arrived at the same position.
Because it was an illusion, Jin Renfeng was not afraid, but instead sent his innate qi into his heart meridians in one go.
After a while, he was safe and sound.
There was no severe pain in the body nor any raging anger in the heart.
Afterwards, Jin Renfeng continued to practice his skills and there was nothing unusual.
Finally, he completed the exercise very smoothly.
"Sure enough! It's still the rejection problem of the Heart Fire Qi."
While practicing the exercises, Jin Renfeng clearly felt the difference between the two methods and also understood the problem more clearly.
Last time, his situation was the same as that of the cultivators who practiced both Yang Five Thunders and Yin Five Thunders at the same time.
The Qi of the Kidneys, Water, and Liver, Wood, and the Qi of the Heart, Fire, and Lungs, Metal, are generated at the same time. One is Yin, and the other is Yang. The two are incompatible and conflict violently within the body, causing the True Qi to turn upside down.
However, the spleen and earth qi, which is responsible for reconciling the two, was insufficient and could not reconcile yin and yang. As a result, the true qi in his body became disordered, causing him to die in the illusion.
"This cultivation method is really a one-touch-and-featured method. I only adjusted the Qi of the Heart Fire, but as a result, all the five elements of Qi in my body went wrong."
Jin Renfeng murmured.
It is actually not difficult to solve this problem.
There are two ways right now.
One is to do as before, giving up the Qi of kidney water and liver wood, abandoning the Five Thunders Orthodox Method, and only practicing the Yang Five Thunders.
Without the interference of the Kidney Water and Liver Wood Qi, the conflict and disorder of the Five Elements Qi can be avoided, and the exercises can run smoothly.
The other method requires adjusting the Qi of the other four elements so that they are balanced with the Qi of the heart fire.
As long as the Qi of the Five Elements is restored to balance, under the restraint of the other four Qi, the Qi of the Heart Fire will not run rampant as before.
"Simply using Yang Wu Lei is not advisable."
After thinking for a moment, Jin Renfeng said.
When he was practicing in a world of one person, he felt the bottleneck of his practice. If he changed back to Yang Wu Lei's method, it would be like going in reverse.
Maybe it is easier now, but once you encounter a bottleneck in your future practice, it will be very difficult to move forward.
"We still have to take the path of balancing the five qi. Only in this way can we go long-term."
Jin Renfeng made a decision.
"But in this case, we will need to adjust the other four Qi one by one, which will probably take longer."
"But I have plenty of time now, so I don't have to worry about it."
Thinking of this, Jin Renfeng no longer hesitated. While the illusion had not yet been lifted, he immediately began to think about how to modify the five elements.
With the analytical ability of the Samsara Mirror, he had already copied many magical skills involving the Five Elements of Qi.
Each school of thought has its own description of the five internal organs and five elements. Qimen magic, such as Fenghou Qimen, is particularly proficient in this.
With the existence of the five elements elves, Jin Renfeng has already gained a deep understanding of the five elements.
Therefore, it was not particularly difficult for him to modify the method now. It just took more time.
