CHAPTER 1024: CHAPTER 780: CHOICE

"The Yun Family, Bai Family, Xue Family, Lei Family, and Qin Family have all sent their offers."

Gu Jinlai looked at the feedback from these five families.

Among the five, the Bai Family was the most willing to invest.

Every cultivation cycle, which is every hundred years, he could receive sixty thousand Enlightenment Points, and also enjoy Spirit Crystals, Strange Objects, elixirs. Additionally, they would provide an Immortal Artifact and a set of six Supreme Immortal Artifacts.

The three Immortal Skills he needed were also fully provided, and if he required any Immortal Techniques, they would try their best to fulfill his needs, showing great sincerity.

But...

"The Bai Family’s power is ultimately a bit weak. Although they have an Immortal Golden Immortal, it’s said that this Immortal Golden Immortal had his spirit eroded by an Evil God back in the day, making his spirit flawed. Just the Power of Dao alone is not enough to withstand the erosion of time, and the influence of this family is quite average, even weaker than the Li Family."

Gu Jinlai said, and couldn’t help but turn his gaze to the terms offered by the Qin Family.

The Qin Family presented two offers.

The first offer included thirty thousand Enlightenment Points per cultivation cycle and the treatment of a direct descendant of the Qin Family, with an Immortal Artifact and two Supreme Immortal Artifacts, providing the Immortal Skills of Space, Destruction, and Devouring.

The second offer included fifty thousand Enlightenment Points per cultivation cycle and the treatment of a key member of the Qin Family’s direct lineage, directly equipped with two Immortal Artifacts. As for Cultivation Techniques, Immortal Techniques, all would be provided, also allowing him to view all ancestors’ cultivation experiences and classics in the Qin Family’s Book Collection Building.

The cost was that once his Great Dao compatibility reached the standard, he needed to perform Divine Union Cultivation with a direct descendant of the Qin Family.

"Divine Union Cultivation, if the two are at similar levels, they can both step into the Immortal Domain, mutually achieving each other, but if there’s a big gap between one party and the other, it becomes one party aiding the other."

Gu Jinlai’s gaze paused on this list.

The main reason for focusing on the terms offered by the Qin Family is that the Qin Family is the largest among these families.

The entire Qin Family, a lineage of four Honorable Daoists.

Among them are two possessing Thousand Epoch Cultivation.

One is the Qin Family Ancestor, Qin Yuanzhen.

The other, Qin Yuyan, is even more remarkable. She was accepted into Fire Cloud Palace as a child and performed outstandingly at the palace, being taken as a direct disciple by Emperor Yan, the ruler of Fire Cloud Palace.

And she did not disappoint, having cultivated for less than three hundred thousand years, she already possesses Thousand Epoch Cultivation, currently serving as Domain Master in the Yanhuang Star Domain, a true Sealed Border Official, whose weight surpasses that of an ordinary Honorable Daoist with Thousand Epoch Cultivation.

This is indeed a top-tier great family.

If he chooses to accept support from the Qin Family, even if he displays greater genius in the future, and his Great Dao compatibility increases to ninety percent within a hundred years, everyone would only think it’s due to the Qin Family being generous with resources, without too much imagination.

To find a patron, naturally, he should find the one most capable of sheltering from the storms.

"Buzz buzz!"

At this moment, the Communication Jade Token on him slightly vibrated.

Gu Jinlai received the jade token, it was a message from the Li Family’s young lady.

"Look at the bid from the Li Family, if the difference isn’t too much... just choose the Li Family then, after all, there is Star Lord Tian Xiang recommending, can’t ignore Star Lord Tian Xiang’s favor."

Gu Jinlai thought.

This is also why he had Luu Qingyi send the message to the Li Family.

Considering Star Lord Tian Xiang’s goodwill, since he planned to attach himself to a family, he had to account for this Star Lord.

However, when he perceived the information from the jade token, he was slightly stunned and almost thought he saw wrong.

"Enjoy the treatment of a core disciple of the Li Family... One cultivation cycle with ten thousand Enlightenment Points, this... barely counts as somewhat normal, as long as I present an Immortal Artifact as a betrothal gift, I can marry Li Feiyu?"

He carefully glanced over it.

It truly was a betrothal gift!

Not a dowry!

"As a Daoist Master with prospects of qualifying for the Inner Mansion, since when do I need to provide a betrothal gift when seeking a Daoist Companion?"

Gu Jinlai murmured.

Moreover, although Li Feiyu has good talent, her Great Dao compatibility is said to be ninety-three percent, this achievement...

Indeed qualifies as excellent, but far from extraordinary.

After all, she has been cultivating for thirty-nine thousand years now, her spirit’s agility has begun to decline.

If not for maintaining spirit agility, those Golden Immortals who have cultivated for ninety thousand, eighty thousand, or even seventy thousand years, wouldn’t each have a Great Dao compatibility of over ninety percent?

Great Dao compatibility progress, as long as Cultivation Techniques are in place and not too shabby financially, is just water grinding effort.

Gu Jinlai pondered for a long time, wondering if this Li Family young lady sent the wrong information, and thus...

He responded with another "smile" emoji.

Seemingly as a reminder for her to see clearly who she was chatting with.

"Buzz buzz!"

Not long after he sent out the message, the Divine Sense wave within the Communication Jade Token noticeably increased.

Is this going to manifest a holographic conversation?

Before long, the Divine Sense Ability within the Communication Jade Token drew upon the surrounding Primordial Energy to condense the phantom of Li Feiyu.

At this moment, she appeared to be speaking with another person: "I said, Daoist Gu truly shows great sincerity."

And just then, she seemed to realize the communication connected, this young lady of the Li Family immediately presented a dignified appearance, smiling at Gu Jinlai, showing considerable reserve: "I received your sincerity, since you have no objections, please make a visit to our Li Family. From now on, you’re half a member of the Li Family, the Li Family never shortchanges its own people."

"I have no objections?"

Gu Jinlai was a bit speechless.

Where do you see that I have no objections?

"Are these the terms of the Li Family?"

Gu Jinlai manifested the conditions sent by Li Feiyu.

"Yes."

Li Feiyu nodded: "I understand your thoughts, our Li Family is also willing to accept you, moreover, based on the talent you’ve shown, you’re worthy of me now. Therefore, I am willing to form a Daoist union with you, and when your Great Dao compatibility reaches ninety-eight percent or even ninety-nine percent, to cultivate together with you, step into immortality, free from the wear of time, eternally enduring."
