Chapter 902 (1/2)
Chapter 902: Chapter 404: Lu Youjiu’s Wedding, Lin Jing’s Gift_2 Chapter 902: Chapter 404: Lu Youjiu’s Wedding, Lin Jing’s Gift_2 Regardless of who it was, anyone who purchased Elixir Medicines from the Changyun Clan within a month of the wedding day would receive a twenty percent discount.
The Changyun Clan had such an initiative, and the Shocking Seas Alliance naturally could not be without a response.
Although the Shocking Seas Alliance did not have an Elixir Pavilion, they did have other businesses.
In other businesses, the Shocking Seas Alliance also offered certain discounts.
Besides the Changyun Clan and the Shocking Seas Alliance, even the Seven Seas Hall announced a statement: Any cultivator who possessed an invitation and was traveling to the Changyun Clan to attend the marriage ceremony could ride the Teleportation Arrays of the seven sea cities without any fee; it was completely free of charge.
Ever since Ye Mingyi’s failure, with the control having returned to the hands of the Hall Master of the Seven Seas Hall, the Hall Master of the Seven Seas Hall reconciled with both the Shocking Seas Alliance and the Changyun Clan.
All three parties had been in conflict because of Ye Mingyi, but now Ye Mingyi had become a common enemy for all three parties.
Naturally, the previous discontent among them was resolved.
…
After discussions between the Shocking Seas Alliance and the Changyun Clan, the location of their wedding was set on Jinghai Island, where the headquarters of the Shocking Seas Alliance was located.
When Lin Jing and his party arrived at Jinghai Island, there was still some time before the day of the wedding—half a month away.
At this time, however, the headquarters of the Shocking Seas Alliance was already adorned with lanterns and colored banners, all in a festive atmosphere.
As Lin Jing and his company reached Jinghai Island, Lu Youjiu and several others were informed and hurriedly came out to greet them.
However, it wasn’t just Lu Youjiu and his group who had come to welcome them; Lu Jingtao, Lu Youjiu’s father, along with the Supreme Elder of the Shocking Seas Alliance, also arrived.

Lin Jing, now not only Lu Youjiu’s friend but also the successor of the Lin Family, and having joined the Elixir Alliance, was currently the ninth Elder within it.
Therefore,
when Lin Jing arrived, the Shocking Seas Alliance naturally could not continue to treat him with the courtesy due a junior member of the family.
Even though Lin Jing was an Elder of the Elixir Alliance, his cultivation and age, by comparison, were still far inferior to theirs.
Plus, considering his friendship with Lu Youjiu,
hence when meeting Lu Jingtao and the Supreme Elder of the Shocking Seas Alliance, Lin Jing did not act arrogant or complacent because of his status as an Elder of the Elixir Alliance, but instead greeted them with the etiquette due from a junior:
“This junior pays respects to Elder Lu, Elder Song…”
When Lu Jingtao heard Lin Jing’s greeting, he quickly spoke up:
“Now that you are an Elder of the Elixir Alliance, you represent the Elixir Alliance when you are outside.
Your status has changed; there’s no need for you to use the courtesy of a junior.
Let it pass this time, but remember for the next time.”
Lin Jing nodded and replied,
“Thank you for the reminder, Elder Lu.
I am fully aware; however, although I am an Elder of the Elixir Alliance, whether in terms of age or cultivation or considering our relationship, I am still a junior.
Addressing the two Elders with junior’s etiquette is not unreasonable.”
“To address the two Elders with a junior’s etiquette is also in keeping with the etiquette of the cultivation world, and it will not dishonor the Elixir Alliance.
Even if our Alliance Hierarch sees me, he would certainly not blame me.”
In the Cultivation World, in addition to ranking by cultivation and age, relationship and lineage are also taken very seriously.
Although Lin Jing is now an Elder of the Elixir Alliance, whether by his age, cultivation, or the position he currently holds in relationships, he is invariably a junior.
In the face of Lu Jingtao and the Supreme Elder of the Shocking Seas Alliance, it was natural that he should behave with the courtesy due from a junior.
The Supreme Elder of the Shocking Seas Alliance was an old man with grizzled hair and a stooped figure.
Though he appeared very elderly, occasional glimpses of the energy emanating from him revealed that he was anything but simple, likely, like the ancestors of the Changyun Clan, a peak Mahayana cultivator who had practiced for countless years.
Hearing Lin Jing’s words, the Supreme Elder looked at him approvingly and nodded, saying,
“Hmm…”
“Unperturbed by honor or disgrace, not bad…”
“Jingtao has been praising you a lot before, saying you are quite remarkable.
It seems Jingtao was not wrong about you.”
Upon hearing this, Lin Jing bowed to the Supreme Elder of the Shocking Seas Alliance and said,
“You flatter me, Elder.”
The Supreme Elder of the Shocking Seas Alliance looked at Lin Jing and smiled as he spoke:
“With your current cultivation and status, there shouldn’t be much that is difficult for you.
What you lack now should be your own power base.”
“Do you have any thoughts in this regard?”
“If you have such intentions, you can come to me anytime, and I will spare no effort to help you rebuild the Lin Family.”
Upon hearing these words, Lin Jing was momentarily startled, then quickly responded, hurriedly bowing to the Supreme Elder of the Shocking Seas Alliance:
