Ch 11 - Fang Zheng - Married!!

Haru went back to Immortal Crane Sect where he was warmly welcomed. He was an elder of Immortal Crane sect and no one had any hopes of him able to clear this round. Elder Yan Tang with much better attainment had failed during the round. Now, only 3 people were representing Immortal Crane Sect - Fang Yuan as subsidiary of Immortal Crane Sect, Fang Zheng as an Elder and Zheng Shan Chuan as a disciple of Fang Zheng.

Haru got the chance to meet the supreme elder again. They discussed upon the terms previously set by them.

There was smile on Haru face as he returned back from the Supreme elder's place.

'I finally got two of them!'

He checked his aperture to find a two crystal shaped gu worms which emitted a purple glow. It was the Purple Crystal Relic Gu.

He was currently a Rank 5 initial stage gu Master and had long way to go before reaching middle stage. However, he did not have time to slowly cultivate. He needed as much strength as possible on an immediate basis.

'I need one more now!', Thinking so, Haru went to visit Elder Yan Tang.

"Elder Fang Zheng, many many congratulations! I am really happy to see you clear the 8th round of refinement path convention. You are a genius with unlimited potential. Here are some small gifts from me.", saying so Elder Yan Tang took out some rare immortal materials. Haru's eyes shined as he saw those immortal materials. He clearly knew the other party's intention.

"Elder Yan Tang, thankyou for your gifts. I was able to come this far is my luck. I would still need guidance from you.", Haru said with a smile.

Both had a casual talk about many different things when Elder Yan Tang couldn't hold it in and spoke out his intentions.

"Fang Zheng, you are young and too inexperienced. However, I can guide you and even help you reach the stage I could never hope to reach myself. I only have one request."

Haru got serious as he asked, "Elder Yan Tang, please suggest."

"Marry my only daughter Yi Yue. I will give you my core refinement path inheritance as well as guide you through any difficulties you face in refining. With your skills, you can even become Refinement path grandmaster in a few decades if you work hard."

"Thank you for your suggestion Elder Yan Tang. However, this is a very serious matter. I believe that Yi Yue is really beautiful and is also a good person to spend my life with. However, I need to think more.", Haru indirectly hinted that the benefits were not enough.

Elder Yan Tang face changed as he hurriedly asked, "Fang Zheng, this is a very good opportunity. You must grab it when you have it. I can also provide you with other help. Suggest me what do you want."

Elder Yan Tang knew that there were many other contenders waiting to marry Fang Zheng since he was a Rank 5 gu Master at such a young age with dual attainments in refinement and enslavement. It was hard to find another gem like this.

Haru pretended to thought about it for a moment and said, "Elder, I know you have reached Rank 5 peak stage long back and are stuck on this stage. Do you have any Purple Crystal Relic Gu? If I marry Yi Yue, I will need more strength to protect our family."

Elder Yan Tang face paled. Purple Crystal Relic Gu was even more important than many immortal materials. It was because it was impossible to refine it and it was much more valuable to Rank 5s. He currently did have one but he planned to use it on Yi Yue when she reached Rank 5.

But it would take a long time before she reached Rank 5. Who knew what might happen in between or what if he passed away before then? Who would protect her? Thinking so, Elder Yan Tang gave up his hesitation and agreed to the offer. He agreed to provide the Purple Crystal Relic Gu on the day of the marriage.

"Great. Then let's carry out the marriage today itself since today is a very special day. Why would we delay such important affairs."

Elder Yan Tang also was of the same opinion. The sooner the better, lest Fang Zheng change his mind.

Later, arrangements were made and whole of Immortal Crane Sect was invited. Disciples were cheering for Fang Zheng while Elders looked on in jealousy and indifference. Elder Yan Tang was a lone faction but now he gained support of Fang Zheng which made them much more stronger then before.

Even Supreme Elder had attended the function and gave both of them the blessings.

It was one of the conditions set by Supreme elder while handing out the Purple Crystal Relic Gu. Fang Zheng must find a girl of his liking in the Immortal Crane Sect and marry her. It was to closely tie him with the sect. Secondly, he had to win the 8th round of refinement path convention. Fang Zheng had fulfilled both the conditions.

In supreme elder's mind, Fang Zheng would soon be qualified to act as a sect leader for the mortal level of the Immortal Crane Sect.

Haru currently held the hands of Yi Yue while recieving the cheerings and greetings from all the guests. It was his first marriage in both hua lives. He felt a weird sense of belonging while experiencing this.

The ceremony ended with Haru kissing Yi Yue on the lips. He had a girlfriend back on Earth and it was not the first time he had kissed. It was embarrassing however to do it in public.

He blushed at the thought of consummating the marriage later. It was his first time!

In the crowds, Shi Hong was fuming with rage and jealousy. He liked Yi Yue a lot and even confessed to her. She accepted it but she needed her father's permission. Shi Hong had been trying to place in Elder Yan Tang's good books for years only for Fang Zheng to come and snatch Yi Yue away.

Later in the night, Haru held Yi Yue in his embrace. Both had a blush on their face. He kissed her forehead gently moving down to her nose and then on to her lips. It was an amazing feeling.

He slowly unbuttoned her clothes while she also helped him remove his clothes. Haru looked at her with affectionately. Her skin was perfect with no blemishes on it. She was a beauty after which every man would lust. Haru then carried her gently and placed her on the bed.

As the night went on, the action got more and more intense. Haru used gu worms to restore their stamina multiple times. No one slept during the night. Haru was feeling much better in the morning as he woke up next to the blushing Yi Yue. He released all his pent up stress after he came to the Gu world. He was now able to think much more clearly.

However, deep down, he felt longing and sadness. He knew that soon he had to leave Yi Yue so that he could survive. He was from Earth and took marriage very seriously.

Seeing Yi Yue's innocent puppy eyes looking at him, he said in his mind with a firm tone, 'One day.. One day I will definitely be back to get you. I will roam the world along with you and no one will be able to oppose us!'

Haru suddenly took Yi Yue into his embrace and they again started having their 'fun' time.

...

After getting out of bed, Haru went and many people in the Immortal Crane Sect. Elders and disciples came over to give him greetings and congratulations.

He went over to meet Zheng Shan Chuan. He was busy refining a gu worm to practice for the next round. On his head was a flea shaped gu worm. It was the Lord Sky Crane. Obviously, Haru did not want anyone to observe his most intimate moments and left Lord Sky Crane with Zheng Shan Chuan.

"Haha disciple, you finally found an partner. I thought you despised the politics and would never accept Yan Tang's offer. He must have offered something very valuable.", Lord Sky Crane spoke out heartily.

"Respects to Elder Fang Zheng.", Zheng Shan Chuan also gave his greetings. Currently, his Master Qi Shan was resting due to the heat toxins he had suffered.

"Surely You jest, Master Sky Crane. Am I such a low person to accept marriage for gifts. I simply liked Yi Yue. How is the practice coming along, Zheng Shan Chuan?"

"It's going well."

"Great. I will now attend to my matters.", Lord Sky Crane came along with him

Haru then went to an underground secret room specially prepared by the supreme elder.

Haru took out the Purple Crystal relic gu and sat down in a secret down. He had prepared millions of primeval essense stones for smooth breakthrough.

5 days later, he came out with Rank 5 peak stage cultivation. The whole Immortal Crane Sect was in uproar. Many rumours came out that Elder Yan Tang helped Fang Zheng with the cultivation in exchange for marrying his daughter. Many young man were jealous and started having fantasies about marriage to gain such benefits too.

'I am finally at the top of the mortal world. Although, my cultivation level was a bit unstable, I got help from Supreme elder and was able to consolidate my stage. However, it will take a long time to breakthrough to the next stage.', Haru clenched his fist as he was ready to face the difficulties he was about to encounter on his path.
