The proposal ceremony was held in the evening. Li Xiang first met with Xu Xuan and Zhang Youyou to check on their Cultivation progress. The Spiritual Power within their bodies was much denser than before, but they were still a long way from condensing a Spiritual Power Vortex.

This was because their cultivation aptitude was relatively poor, so their progress was slow. He estimated that condensing their first vortex would take at least another six months, perhaps even a year. This kind of thing couldn’t be rushed.

Li Xiang gave each of them two more Spiritual Medicines. At their rate of Refinement, he estimated that by the time they finished absorbing these four Spiritual Medicines, they would be on the verge of condensing their first Spiritual Power Vortex and awakening their first Superpower.

"This... Brother Xiang... I really..." Xu Xuan was at a loss for words. To be given such precious Spiritual Medicine so casually... "How about I transfer some more company shares to you?" he offered.

Li Xiang smiled and waved his hand. "No need to be so formal. What’s a little formality between friends like us! Just consider it my congratulatory gift to you both."

"Thank you, then. This is far too precious." Xu Xuan and Zhang Youyou were both extremely grateful.

However, even though Li Xiang refused, Xu Xuan still decided to transfer more shares to him. That way, Li Xiang would get a larger dividend at the end of the year.

The evening’s proposal ceremony was, of course, very romantic. The guests were all close friends of Xu Xuan and Zhang Youyou.

Following this, there would be a formal engagement banquet and a wedding ceremony, which would be even more grand and include the elders from both families.

After the proposal ceremony, Xu Xuan and Zhang Youyou invited Li Xiang to stay and have fun in the provincial capital for a few more days, and Li Xiang readily agreed.

The couple took Li Xiang to various high-end venues, introducing him to their connections and treating him to all sorts of gourmet food. In his spare time, Li Xiang would also guide them in their Cultivation.

At the same time, he also shared some Combat Techniques, such as Fist Techniques, Palm Techniques, and Body Techniques. Since Xu Xuan and Zhang Youyou had already cultivated Spiritual Power, the force of these Secret Techniques was naturally far beyond that of an ordinary person.

Under Li Xiang’s guidance, the two of them made considerable progress.

Li Xiang spent five days in the provincial capital. On the afternoon of the sixth day, Luo Feifei sent him a message saying she had arrived in Chang’an and wanted him to come find her there that night to hang out.

The two had spoken before, so she knew that Li Xiang was incredibly fast. She also knew he was in Rongcheng, and the distance from Rongcheng to Chang’an wasn’t that far. It was quite convenient to travel by plane or high-speed train.

"I got a separate room this time, not with my mom. You should come over. Sneak in tonight. My room has a big balcony, right on the top floor. It shouldn’t be too hard for you." Luo Feifei sent the message, adding a suggestive emoji.

If this message ever got out, it would absolutely blow up on social media and top the headlines. The Little Celestial Immortal inviting a man for a midnight rendezvous? The online spectators would be stunned.

Li Xiang naturally knew Luo Feifei was joking, so he replied, "Alright, I’m on my way. I’ve actually had some new insights recently. I’ll come over to exchange ideas and discuss them with you."

’He knew that Luo Feifei was a cultivation genius. Perhaps if their minds sparked, they would come to some unique realizations.’

"Okay! Come quick, hurry up! I can’t wait." Luo Feifei was very excited. ’I can finally see Li Xiang again, and for a midnight rendezvous, no less. This is so thrilling!’

"Can you not be so suggestive? What happened to your usual cold and aloof image?" Li Xiang was speechless.

"Haha, I don’t have to be so cold and aloof in front of you, Big Brother. That’s just an act for everyone else!" Luo Feifei said with a light laugh.

So, Li Xiang said goodbye to Xu Xuan and Zhang Youyou, telling them he needed to make a trip to Chang’an.

Xu Xuan offered to book a plane or high-speed train ticket for Li Xiang, but he refused.

’It’s only six hundred kilometers. My Extreme Speed of 1.5 Mach can be sustained for seven or eight minutes at a time. A seven-to-eight-minute sprint, a ten-minute rest... three of these bursts and I’ll be there. Taking a plane or train involves too many transfers and is just too much trouble.’

"There’s really no need. I’ll arrange my own travel," Li Xiang said.

"Alright, then. I have a few small things for you as a Return Gift." Xu Xuan took out six Jade Bracelets. They were all of the highly-prized, translucent ’icy’ variety with delicate ’floating flower’ patterns.

"They’re not expensive, only a few hundred thousand each. Nothing compared to your Spiritual Medicine. Just a small token of our appreciation. Youyou picked them out these past few days. You have to take them."

Li Xiang didn’t stand on ceremony with him. He accepted the bracelets and took his leave.

A little after nine in the evening, Li Xiang appeared in the Qinling Mountain Range, not far from Chang’an.

Since it was still early, it wasn’t a convenient time to sneak into Luo Feifei’s room. So, he swept through the Qinling Mountain Range, practicing his Martial Arts and various techniques.

The Qinling Mountain Range is not only the boundary between northern and southern China but also the dividing line for their geographical, climatic, and resource differences. It is considered the Dragon Vein of Huaxia Civilization.

Every autumn and winter, the cold air from the north is blocked by the Qinling Mountain Range. If you fly over the area, you can see a very clear "boundary" along the northern and southern foothills.

This isn’t just visible from an airplane; you can even spot it when driving through the Qinling tunnels.

On one side of the tunnel, there’s green grass and vegetation, but upon exiting the other side, you’re met with a blanket of white snow. It’s like entering winter in a single second.

Its main peak, Taibai Mountain, has an elevation of 3,771.2 meters. At this moment, Li Xiang stood at its highest point, looking down upon the vast, sprawling mountain range, his heart swelling with heroic spirit.
