Cultivation: I Can Reincarnate Into Various Worlds

Female cultivators from the Yan family who make it onto the Hundred Beauties Picture are highly talented, so they aren't easy to marry. They wouldn't wrong themselves either.

Yan Xiling's words indicated she had already decided to return to the Yan family and select a talented female cultivator for Xu Xing to marry.

Seeing his objective achieved, Xu Xing chuckled lightly, shook his head, and casually excused himself. "I've been wholeheartedly focused on cultivation; I simply haven't had the time to peruse this Hundred Beauties Picture. I'm merely concerned that, due to my involvement, the female cultivators listed in this directory might have their marital prospects delayed, preventing destined couples from uniting and destroying promising unions…"

"I wonder if the Yan family has any female cultivators as beautiful as Senior Sister, who are also at the Returning Core Realm…" Xu Xing continued.

With the combat prowess and aptitude he had demonstrated in the Immeasurable Sect, it was certainly appropriate for him to marry a Returning Core female cultivator from the Yan family. However, upon reaching the Returning Core Realm, a cultivator was considered a prominent figure in the Cultivation World, honored with the title of "True Man." Female cultivators at the Returning Core Realm already possessed the ability to control their own marriages and would not marry easily, unless an Ancestor of their clan personally intervened. Therefore, suggesting that the Yan family arrange a marriage with one of their Returning Core female cultivators was a very audacious proposal.

"There are, indeed…" Yan Xiling sighed softly. "But, Junior Brother Chang, your words are intentionally making things difficult for me."

The Golden Rainbow Faction, because the Golden Rainbow Ancestor was a female cultivator, had a higher number of female cultivators compared to other clans, and their cultivation levels were also generally higher. Therefore, among the Yan family's two Dao Pill cultivators and seven Returning Core cultivators, besides herself—a Dao Pill female cultivator—there were three other female cultivators at the Returning Core Realm, each with varying cultivation levels. Golden Rainbow Valley was, in essence, the Yan family. Even external cultivators who joined often did so through marriage into the Yan family.

"I will discuss this with my three junior sisters. If any of them are willing…" Yan Xiling said, "then Junior Brother Chang, you would be very fortunate."

Regardless of whether a marriage alliance with a Returning Core cultivator could succeed, she had to at least try. Who knew? Perhaps one of them might take a liking to Xu Xing; it was all uncertain. In the Cultivation World, Daoist spouses journeying side-by-side, forming a strong alliance, was always preferable to struggling alone on the path to the Great Dao.

"I am grateful to Senior Aunt Yan for her help in this matter. This is a small token of my appreciation…" A hint of reluctance flashed across Xu Xing's face as he took out five spirit pearls from his Storage Bag, levitating them with his magic power, and presented them to Yan Xiling.

After exchanging resources with Daoist Lord Kuimen, he didn't have much wealth left. This sum was only obtained after he returned to the Nanyan Continent and collected the tribute the Shadowless Pavilion at Small Ring Mountain owed to True Monarch Jinglian. Periodically, the Shadowless Pavilion would gather resources to present to True Monarch Jinglian.

"We will all be family in the future; there's no need for such politeness." Seeing this, Yan Xiling breathed a sigh of relief, her hidden worries vanishing. She smiled and accepted the five spirit pearls.

His willingness to offer a gift was proof enough that Xu Xing was sincere about forming a marital alliance with the Yan family, not merely feigning or delaying.

"In my clan, there are three female cultivators at the Returning Core Realm. Yan Ping is too old, nearly seven hundred, and her prospects of reaching the Dao Pill Realm are bleak, so she isn't quite suitable for you…

"...Your choices are limited to Yan Bingyun and Yan Wenyuan. However, Bingyun has always had a difficult temperament. Even if she took a liking to you, you probably wouldn't be willing. That only leaves Wenyuan…"

Having accepted the spirit pearls, Yan Xiling began to earnestly strategize for Xu Xing. The information she now provided was significantly more detailed than before. Previously, whether Xu Xing married a Yan family female cultivator or not hadn't mattered much to her. The Yan family wouldn't suffer greatly over such a minor issue, regardless of his decision. She was simply performing her duties. However, now that Xu Xing had offered her a gift—essentially a bribe—things were very different. Although the gift was modest and not enough to truly sway her, the gesture itself was appreciated.

"Wenyuan is currently at the Purple Mansion Realm, similar to your own. However, she has been at this stage for a long time. If…" Yan Xiling gave Xu Xing a few more pointers.

After speaking, she tossed Xu Xing a file on Yan Wenyuan and then vanished before him in a streak of rainbow light.

Seeing that Yan Xiling, the one in charge, had departed, the other cultivators who had gathered around the Surging Jade Mansion also scattered like birds and beasts, disappearing completely.

「Returning to the Surging Jade Mansion.」

Xu Xing opened the file on Yan Wenyuan and examined it carefully for a while. The file not only listed Yan Wenyuan's cultivation realm and age but also included her portrait. The woman in the portrait wore plain white robes and possessed a slender, graceful figure. Her eyes were like tranquil water, and a beauty mark adorned the corner of her mouth, making her look exceptionally charming. She strongly resembled Yan Xiling.

"Indeed, she's a beauty."

"What a pity."

He shook his head and closed the file.

Becoming Daoist spouses was different from marrying as husband and wife in the Mortal World. It required making a Daoist Spouse Vow, comparable in severity to a Blood Demon Oath. Those of high status would also hold a grand Daoist Spouse Ceremony, inviting relatives and friends from various sects to witness the event.

He wasn't afraid of the Blood Demon Oath, so naturally, the Daoist Spouse Vow held no fear for him either. However, he is not a good person, and he did not want to deceive a woman over this matter. Cultivating the Dao was also cultivating one's heart-mind. Sometimes, one could act unscrupulously. But if a better option existed, it was preferable to act with integrity.

After placing Yan Wenyuan's file into his Storage Bag, Xu Xing composed himself and focused his consciousness on the surface of the Kunlun Mirror.

On the luminous, golden-yellow mirror surface, under the "Immortal Fate" heading, new text had appeared.
