Chapter 719

"Is he doing this on purpose?"

Everyone looked at Zi Chen. Ten of them had surpassed the Elixir Realm, which made Zi Chen feel that everyone was doing this on purpose.

Even if the big forces were in an alliance, they would always want to see each other suffer losses. This was the power of the big forces. There would always be competition, and the internal strife would never stop.

At this moment, in front of so many people, if Zi Chen took out a bad betrothal gift, not only would he embarrass the Heavenly Man Pavilion, but he would also embarrass the Shangguan Family and Elder Gui.

But now that things had come to this, it was too late to prepare.

"Zhang Tong, take out the betrothal gift." Zi Chen turned his head and looked at Zhang Tong.

Zhang Tong nodded and stood up.

"Haha, we also want to see what kind of betrothal gift Zi Chen will take out." Everyone laughed, and the atmosphere in the hall was very lively.

Zi Chen smiled and said, "The Heavenly Man Pavilion has just been established, and we don't have a good foundation. Of course, the gift we take out is not good. Please don't laugh at it."

This was to give everyone a heads-up. Everyone laughed and said that they wouldn't. The other members of the Shangguan Family even said that Zi Chen and Shangguan Yue 'er loved each other, and it didn't matter even if he didn't take out the betrothal gift.

After that, Zhang Tong took out the betrothal gift.

The first thing he took out were 05 exquisitely made red jade bottles. Red represented jubilation, and the surface of the jade bottles was carved with dragons and phoenixes, showing that the dragons and phoenixes were a pair.

Obviously, these things were specially made for this engagement.

"These are Blood Vitality Pills. There are 65 pills in each bottle, so there are 05 bottles in total," Zi Chen explained.

After the jade bottles were taken out, beautiful maids came forward with red jade trays. Each tray could hold 65 jade bottles, and five maids stood at the side with the trays.

Everyone nodded, but they were estimating the value of these Blood Vitality Pills. If one pill was sold for 85,555 Vitality Stones, then 055 pills would be worth 60 million upper-grade Vitality Stones.

A light flashed in Zhang Tong's hand again, and the same jade bottles appeared. They were all exquisite, but this time there were only 75 red jade bottles. Two maids came in and stood at both sides, and the 75 jade bottles were placed on two jade trays.

"These are Blood Healing Pills. Each bottle contains five pills, so there are twenty bottles in total."

Twenty bottles of Blood Healing Pills, and there were a hundred pills in each bottle. If each pill was worth a hundred thousand, that would be ten million.

Then, Zhang Tong took out another twenty jade bottles.

"These are high quality Blood Explosion Pills. One pill per bottle, twenty pills in total."

The highest price of a Blood Explosion Pill in the auction back then was three million per pill. Even though there was the Ancient Beast World now and Ancient Beasts were no longer rare, the price of a Blood Explosion Pill was still over two million.

There were twenty of them in total, which meant that they were worth more than forty million.

The expressions of the Shangguan Family members, who had been calm before, began to change after the pills were taken out. As for Shangguan Feixiong, he didn't even try to hide the joy on his face.

For the fourth time, Zhang Tong took out another jade bottle. This time, there were only five bottles.

"These are treasured pills. One pill per bottle, five pills in total."

The total price of these five pills was tens of millions. Since the World of Ancient Beasts was about to open, the price of these pills would be even higher.

The total price of the four types of pills was over a hundred million. This was a huge number. Everyone couldn't help but sigh at how rich and resourceful Zi Chen was.

Just these things as the betrothal gifts were already enough to give the Heavenly Barbarian Pavilion face. However, the betrothal gifts were not over yet. In the next moment, another item appeared in front of Zhang Tong. This item emitted a bright and dazzling light.

This was only an elixir weapon, but it was surging with an aura that wasn't any weaker than a foundation. The moment it appeared, everyone was shocked.

With their eyesight, they could naturally tell that this was a supreme-grade elixir weapon.

Supreme-Grade elixir weapons were second only to foundations. They were extremely attractive to those in the Origin Core Realm.

This was a sword that emitted a colorful light. It was thin and long, and it was more suitable for ladies. The bright light and the oppressive aura it emitted told everyone that it was a supreme-grade elixir weapon.

"It's actually a supreme-grade elixir weapon. The Heavenly Barbarian Pavilion is really generous." Everyone sighed. The Shangguan Family members were overjoyed.

Just as the female servant took the jade plate and took the supreme-grade elixir weapon away, a bright light appeared in front of Zhang Tong again. This light wasn't any weaker than the supreme-grade elixir weapon from before. In fact, it was even brighter.

"Supreme-Grade defensive stomach armor." The moment this item appeared, everyone exclaimed in surprise.

At this moment, a brightly colored stomach armor was floating in front of Zhang Tong. It was also a supreme-grade defensive stomach armor.

This item was originally sold for supreme-grade Primordial Stones. However, everyone knew that the Heavenly Barbarian Pavilion didn't want to sell this kind of stomach armor.

However, they didn't expect that this time, Zi Chen would actually use this grade of stomach armor as a betrothal gift.

A supreme-grade elixir weapon and a supreme-grade defensive stomach armor. These two items were far more valuable than the other elixirs. The Shangguan Family members were overjoyed. As for the other families that had surpassed the Elixir Origin Stage, they were also shocked.

"Since you're here, why did you bring betrothal gifts?"

Looking at the brightly colored betrothal gifts that lit up the entire hall, Shangguan Hongde was also overjoyed. Of course, the reason for his happiness was that Zi Chen had helped him gain face.

"Pavilion Master Zi Chen is really generous." Everyone sighed. These words came from the bottom of their hearts.

The betrothal gifts given by Zi Chen naturally made the Shangguan Family members very satisfied. Unknowingly, they, who were already enthusiastic, became even more enthusiastic in their words.

After receiving the betrothal gifts, everyone continued to chat in the hall.

The group of experts that had surpassed the Elixir Origin Stage naturally didn't come just to see Zi Chen's betrothal gifts for the Shangguan Family. Instead, they really wanted to see Zi Chen. Of course, it would be more appropriate to say that they wanted to see the two types of Ultimate Energy.

After that, intentionally or unintentionally, a few of them expressed that they wanted to see the compatibility of the two types of Ultimate Energy.

Zi Chen wasn't stingy and planned to let everyone see it. However, in order to dispel the strange thoughts in their hearts, he stood up and said, "To be honest, when I tried to make a breakthrough, I was prepared to die. With two types of Ultimate Energy, it was almost impossible to form a Gold Core. However, it was proven that it was indeed a dead end. If it weren't for the various fortuitous encounters along the way, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to escape death. However, even so, I still lost a family member and a treasure that changed my fate.

After saying that, two balls of Ultimate Energy appeared in Zi Chen's hands. Then, the group of experts that had surpassed the Elixir Origin Stage released their spiritual senses to sense it.

During this time, Zi Chen also exchanged the two types of Ultimate Energy so that everyone could carefully sense it. At the same time, Zi Chen also talked about how he fought against the rules during his breakthrough.

After a while, the group of experts' faces were filled with shock. Then, they said, "Unbelievable."

Perhaps it was an illusion, but Zi Chen felt that the attitude of the group of experts towards him seemed to have improved after this. Moreover, intentionally or unintentionally, they all expressed the idea of forming an alliance through marriage.

Thinking about it, it was understandable. With two types of Ultimate Energy coexisting, Zi Chen's future was smooth sailing. Even though his realm could only stop at the late stage of the Elixir Origin Stage, his actual combat strength was not weaker than theirs.

Moreover, who could say that Zi Chen had no hope of stepping into the Mortal Origin Stage in his lifetime?

In the face of such an existence, they only had two ways to deal with it. The first was to kill Zi Chen in advance and strangle him in the cradle before he matured. However, this was almost unrealistic. With the old turtle protecting him, no one could kill Zi Chen.

Even if they worked together to kill Zi Chen, they wouldn't be able to bear the old turtle's anger afterwards. This was because as an ancient beast, the old turtle's combat strength was too strong. It wouldn't be a problem for it to massacre the entire Chaos City in a fit of anger.

Therefore, since the first method didn't work, they could only use the second method, which was to form an alliance.

In the following conversation, everyone intentionally or unintentionally showed a friendly attitude.

Soon, it was time for dinner, and Shangguan Hongde invited them, "Everyone, since you're here, why don't you stay for dinner?"

The few Mortal Origin Stage experts didn't stay. After that, they stood up and bid farewell. Zi Chen and the others also sent them off to the gate. Of course, during this period, the Vice Pavilion Master Wang Qiong was also the focus of everyone's attention, especially the Wu Clan Patriarch.

Zi Chen and Shangguan Yue 'er's engagement ceremony was set to be held nine days later, and the news quickly spread. The Shangguan Family also sent out invitations, and unknowingly, the news of Zi Chen giving out so many betrothal gifts also spread out.

The entire Shangguan Clan was decorated with lanterns and decorations. Red lanterns were hung high. Except for a few people, everyone had a festive expression on their faces. During this period, Zi Chen and Shangguan Yue 'er couldn't meet. They could only suppress their longing for each other and wait until the engagement ceremony to see each other.

During this period, no one from the Wu Clan came. Obviously, they wanted Wang Qiong to take the initiative. After Zi Chen's engagement ceremony, it was time for Wu Yu and Wang Qiong's wedding ceremony.

After staying in the Shangguan Clan for two days, Zi Chen and Wang Qiong led a group of people to the Wu Clan on the morning of the third day.

This time, it was an official visit. The Wu Clan's hospitality was very warm. In order to give Wang Qiong more face, Elder Gui followed them. This forced the two Wu Clan Patriarchs to come out and greet them.

Wang Qiong's arrival and the appearance of the two Patriarchs indirectly raised Wang Qiong's status. After entering the hall and exchanging pleasantries, it was time to send the betrothal gifts and set the date of the wedding.

The date was set by the Heavenly Barbarian Pavilion, but the betrothal gifts had to satisfy the Wu Clan.

The betrothal gifts that Wang Qiong gave Wu Yu were prepared by Zi Chen and given by the Heavenly Barbarian Pavilion. Zi Chen didn't favor one over the other and gave the same betrothal gifts as he did for his engagement ceremony.

This time, Wild Wolf took out the Blood Origin Elixir, the Treasure Elixir, and two supreme-grade elixir weapons for attack and defense.

This time, it was the Wu Clan's turn to be proud. Zi Chen also showed the Wu Clan that Wang Qiong's status and identity in the Heavenly Barbarian Pavilion was the same as his.

Once the betrothal gifts worth hundreds of millions were given, the Wu Clan naturally agreed to the marriage. Hence, Wang Qiong's wedding was decided by the Heavenly Barbarian Pavilion. It was held in the Heavenly Barbarian Pavilion two months later.

Nine days passed quickly, and it was time for Zi Chen and Shangguan Yue 'er's engagement ceremony.
