Nanshan County, Chishan.

As the sun rises, the morning glow hangs over the mountains, dispelling the mist at night, and covering the mountains with a layer of warm color.

However, under this quiet and peaceful scene, there is a grand occasion of Xuanwu Peak bustling with guests.

Today, the Zhao family held a celebration for Zhao Xiuming, a new member of the Zhuji clan.

Just two months ago, Zhao Xiuming succeeded in building a foundation through body training and retreat.

Tian became the fourth foundation-building monk of the Zhao family.

As soon as this news came out, the entire Nanshan County was shocked immediately.

One door builds four foundations.

Coupled with the prestige gained by the head of the Zhao family, Zhao Xiuxuan, in the past few years, the Zhao family's reputation in the small cultivating world of Nanshan County can be said to be truly unique.

All the families in Nanshan County, with the intention of making friends in mind, came uninvited and sent a mountain worship post to the Zhao family.

After Zhao Xiuxuan "went out", Zhao Lingcheng, the second elder of the Zhao family, took on the important task of taking care of the affairs of the family.

Zhao Lingben also adhered to the Zhao family's consistent low-key principle, and did not plan to invite guests to hold the foundation-building ceremony, but there were too many forces that could not resist coming to worship the mountain.

Regardless of the surrounding Qianrenshan Hou family, Tie family, Feng family, Lu family and other cultivating families.

There are even monks who traveled thousands of miles from Feiyan Mountain in the south and Qingze in the north.

The hospitality was hard to come by, so Zhao Lingcheng ordered to go down immediately, accepted all the mountain worship stickers and mountain worship rites, and set a date for the tenth day of this month, which is today to congratulate Zhao Xiuming on his successful foundation building.

Early in the morning, the members of the Zhao family put on the Zhao family's blue-bottomed basalt-patterned gowns uniformly, each of them was full of vigor and radiance.

The monks in the middle and late stage of Qi refining are as tall as ten feet, like a young green pine.

A group of young and beautiful female relatives in the family were busy preparing tea, melons and fruits, and meticulously ordered the servants and servants in the mountains to entertain the guests.

And when the morning dew was still there, the entire foot of Chishan Mountain was crowded with guests who came to worship the mountain.

With the sound of jingling bells.

All the people who got on and off the carriages were brocade and satin and luxuriously dressed.

The carriage is made of various spiritual woods, with defensive formations engraved on it, which can be regarded as a magic weapon.

And the horses driving the carriages are also of different shapes and sizes, some are tall and mighty, some are red like blood, and what is even more surprising is that there are some horses with strange lights in their eyes and wind blowing under their feet. The precious royal chariot spirit beast, chasing the wind horse.

There was a monk's carriage that had just driven into the foot of the mountain, and he heard the bustling outside. When he got out of the car, he saw that there were monks, men, women, old and young, all over the foot of the mountain.

Among the crowd, the Zhike of Zhao's family, who was wearing a blue-bottomed basalt pattern, simply registered the information of each guest, and then respectfully invited the guests up the mountain.

A group of clan elders, Chu Yuzhi, Zhao Lingcheng, Zhao Lingquan, and Zhao Duxian sat upright in the main hall early, greeted and sent off, and received the guests.

Since everyone is a monk in Nanshan County, they are very familiar with each other's families, and they all started greeting each other at the foot of the mountain.

"Hey, Fellow Daoist Zhu, I haven't seen you for many years, I didn't expect to see you here"

A middle-aged monk with his head tied in a bun and a yellow croaker robe seemed to have met an old friend and greeted him in surprise.

A fat monk who looked like a merchant, whom he called Fellow Daoist Zhu, also responded quickly.

"Oh! It turned out to be Fellow Daoist He, hahahaha, I hadn't seen you in Beiyuan County for five or six years that day. Why, you Longyushan also came to visit Zhao's house?"

"What did Fellow Daoist Zhu say? Our Longyushan He family and the Zhao family have been friends for hundreds of years! How could the Zhao family brothers not come for such a big event as foundation building?"

"Oh, it turns out that Brother He's family has such a deep friendship with the Zhao family, but I was reckless, brother. I will go to Chishan later, so you can introduce me more for my brother."

The fat monk immediately beamed with joy and approached him.

"Good talk good talk"

The middle-aged monk in the yellow croaker patted his non-existent beard in embarrassment, and quickly changed the subject.

"Brother Zhu, today's scene is really rare. We have so many family monks in Nanshan County gathered together, we can directly open a market on the spot. If this is the case, I am afraid that we can make a lot of money with the way Brother Zhu does business. Earn"

"Hey, brother He's absurdly praised"

The fat monk rubbed his chubby belly, and looked enviously at the monks who came in a spirit beast carriage.

Most of these monks are young and handsome juniors, some are full of arrogance, squinting at others, and some have neither cold nor indifferent expressions, and think they are extraordinary.

But without exception, they all belong to relatively large forces in Nanshan County.

"Lingkong Valley, Luoshan League, Yumu Mountain, Feiyan Mountain, and Thousand Blades League are all more powerful than each other. I didn't expect that these powerful forces who used to have their eyes above the top would personally send people to participate in the Zhao family's event. celebration"

The fat monk surnamed Zhu said with emotion.

Taoist He pulled him aside and muttered in a low voice
"Brother Zhu, what did you say? The forces of Lingkong Valley, Luoshan League, and Feiyan Mountain rely on the gathering of several mountain gates to gather five or six foundation-building monks. Now the Zhao family has the strength of four foundation-building monks. , can naturally sit on an equal footing with these forces.

The most important thing is that, including the patriarch, there are three Foundation Establishment monks who are young, unlike the Lingkong Valley and Luoshan League, the Foundation Establishment cultivators who can afford it have all lived for more than a hundred years.

Senior Feng, the pillar of the Feng family, heard that he is still a monk of more than 200 years, far inferior to the stamina of the Zhao family. As long as the Zhao family does not kill itself and develops steadily, it can be regarded as a major force for at least 200 years. How can the power not make friends with each other?"

The fat monk surnamed Zhu repeatedly offered a flattery:
"Brother He sees clearly"

While the two were talking, several young monks from the Gongsun family, one of the five clans in Feiyan Mountain, stepped down from the luxurious carriage one by one.

After getting out of the car, two of the pretty female nuns attracted everyone's attention.

The two were dressed in bright yellow robes with pleated skirts and a few dancing swallows embroidered on them.

The most special thing is that the faces of these two female cultivators are not only outstanding and charming, but their faces are surprisingly similar, as if they are twins.

Moreover, judging from the fluctuations in the spirit energy of the two of them, it was obvious that they were both in the late stage of Qi refining.

In the world of cultivating immortals, there are not many people with cultivation talents, and twin monks are even rarer. The rarest thing is that both of them have cultivated to the late stage of Qi refining with the appearance of cardamom years.

How can it not attract everyone's attention.

Even the Hakka people of the Zhao family, who are the main family, frequently looked sideways from the corner of their eyes.

The two goddesses frowned in displeasure almost in unison.

One of them muttered
"Sister, you said that the second grandpa is really true. We have cultivated well, but you insisted on dragging us to this place to participate in some foundation-building celebrations, and even said that we would meet young talents from the Zhao family. I see, these People's cultivation is so low, how can they be called young talents, it really delays our cultivation."

The other woman looked more mature, she winked and said:

"The second grandpa brought us here for his own reasons. We have practiced in seclusion for so long, so we should come out for a walk."

The female cultivator who is the younger sister among the sisters waited to say more, but when she heard a cough in the carriage, she immediately fell silent.

An old voice came from inside the carriage and reprimanded in a low voice:
"Zhi'er, talking nonsense again"

While speaking, an elderly monk with weather-stained face and wrinkles like knives came out of the carriage.

As soon as this person appeared, the people around were immediately taken aback.

Especially the Taoist in the yellow croaker robe shook his head and said to the merchant fat monk beside him:
"The foundation-building cultivator of the Gongsun family has also come, but I don't know if it is senior Gongsun Changyin or senior Gongsun Changfeng. Those two juniors should be Gongsun Baiying and Gongsun Baizhi, who are called Feiyan Shuangshu."

"Brother He even knows this, I admire you"

The merchant Pangxiu showed admiration and expressed his admiration.

"It's nothing. However, speaking of it, the Gongsun family's foundation-builder cultivator came so early, it can be regarded as giving the Zhao family enough face."

The Taoist in yellow croaker robe touched his face and said modestly.

Over there, following the appearance of the Gongsun Family Foundation Establishment cultivator, several waves of spiritual energy fluctuations of the Foundation Establishment cultivator burst out one after another from the other carriages.

From the carriages of several major forces, a scholar, a strong man, an old woman, and a red-faced middle-aged man stepped out respectively.

It was Xie Luobin, the Patriarch of the Xie Family in Lingkong Valley, the Elder Hu, the elder of Yumu Mountain, Tie Jingshan, the Patriarch of the Tie Family, and the last one was Ziwuzong Jing Zhiye.

"Hahaha, it turns out that fellow Taoists have already arrived, and the old man thought I had arrived early."

Gongsun Changfeng laughed, and bowed his hands to all the Foundation Establishment cultivators who showed up.

Everyone glanced at each other, bowed their hands and greeted each other.

"I have just arrived, and I know that Fellow Daoist Gongsun is coming, so I am waiting here."

The rickety old woman and the old fox are quite familiar with Gongsun, and at this time they set up a bridge and started talking.

"Brother Tie, long time no see. That day in the Yunmeng Mountains, thanks to Brother Tie's talisman, Xie was safe and sound."

Xie Luobin chatted with Tie Jingshan.

Only the red-faced old man stood with his hands behind his back, seeming a little aloof.

And the clansmen brought by the few people, like their elders, people from Yumu Mountain and Gongsun's family got together, people from Tie family and Xie family got together, and only two disciples from Ziwuzong came. A man and a woman also have eyes higher than the top, and their vision is very high.

Several people chatted.

Over there, while the well-prepared Zhao family's acquaintance greeted him, he also quickly threw out a message talisman.

A moment later, Zhao Xiuyuan's Yujian, full of laughter, fell from the mountain.

"Fellow daoists are here to visit, and we are far away to welcome you. I'm going down to Zhao Xiuyuan, and prepare the best spiritual tea in the mountains. Fellow daoists, please follow me up the mountain to talk about it."

Zhao Xiuyuan cupped his hands in a salute from a distance, which was enough courtesy.

Old Fox laughed first, and said politely

"It turned out to be fellow Daoist Xiu Yuan of the Zhao family. The old man came a little earlier, but it was abrupt."

"Where is Fellow Daoist Fox, everyone, please follow me up the mountain."

Zhao Xiuyuan repeated one more sentence, and afterward, several Foundation Establishment cultivators casually ordered a few words, and then turned into imperial weapons, and followed Zhao Xiuyuan up the mountain.

The younger generations of the rest of the tribe followed the team up the mountain obediently.

"The Foundation Establishment cultivator is really different. The Foundation Establishment of the Zhao family came down to greet him in person."

Zhu and He were muttering again and again.

Time flew by, although the guests who came far exceeded the expectations of the Zhao family, but luckily the Zhao family had made sufficient preparations.

The whole welcome was done in an orderly manner without losing any courtesy.

After the time passed, one after another, there were foundation-building monks or imperial weapons or imperial chariots, which attracted a group of Qi-refining monks to marvel again and again.

Besides.

The most surprising thing was Meng Danqing, the elder of the Meng family who came here from Tianyu Mountain!
That is to say, Zhao Xiuxuan's "mother" Meng Danning's right-hand man, in terms of seniority, he can be regarded as Zhao Xiuxuan's "uncle".

Knowing Meng Danqing's arrival, the elders of the older generation of the Zhao family did not dare to neglect, and ordered Zhao Xiuyuan to go down the mountain to meet him.

Gai because as the elders of the clan, they all know the relationship between the Meng family and Zhao Xiuxuan.

Before Zhao Xiuxuan came back from Tianyu Mountain, although he didn't say whether he would continue the mother-child relationship with Meng Danning, but after all, it was his own flesh and blood, and it was not a trivial matter related to the patriarch.

Furthermore, the status of Yushan in Nanshan County today is really a bit detached. After all, there are vassal families in charge. Tianyushan has gathered several surrounding families. In the past two years, many good seedlings have been sent to Qingxuan Valley as disciples. , although he is an outer disciple, as long as he has a relationship with Qingxuangu, he will be fine.

Not to mention that there is Meng Hanqing, the genuine disciple of Jindan True Inheritance.

For these reasons, the arrival of Meng Danqing is particularly noticeable.

Of course, Meng Danqing didn't come alone to the Meng family. There were more than a dozen members of the Meng family who were in the middle and late stages of Qi refining.

Its meaning is the same as other families, wanting to match up for the younger generation.

This group of people is also driving the cloud treading beast with the blood of spirit beasts. The carriage is luxurious, based on spirit jade, and decorated with brocade.

As soon as they met, Meng Danqing lowered his status to a very low level, and offered five thousand spirit stones, plus a few rare monster materials as congratulatory gifts.

Zhao Lingcheng naturally smiled on behalf of the serious and taciturn Zhao Xiuming, and exchanged a few greetings as an elder.

Meng Danqing behaved politely, and specially conveyed Meng Danning's words:

"The family is busy with affairs, and Jiumei can't come in person, so I was ordered to bring a few bottles of good pills to the elders in addition to the congratulatory gifts."

As he spoke, he took out a few bottles of medicinal pills that seemed to be of great value from the storage bag.

Zhao Lingcheng and the others looked at each other, then smiled and said:

"If you are interested, if you have spare time, just come to Chishan for a walk"

When the sun is three poles, the banquet begins.

There were Zhao Lingcheng, Zhao Lingquan, Zhao Duxian, Zhao Duyun and others as hosts. Zhao Xiuming, one of the protagonists, was not good at speech, so he talked a lot and drank a lot of spiritual wine.

Everyone was talking and laughing happily, and they also realized one thing, that is, Zhao Xiuxuan, the Patriarch of the Zhao family, has never shown up.

After drinking for three rounds, someone finally asked about it

"Zhao Daoyou, I don't know if your master is in seclusion or not in the mountains, why can't he be seen?"

Zhao Lingcheng's expression remained the same, he hid it with a smile and said:

"The head of the family has gone out for something, and I'm afraid it will take some time before he can come back."

Gongsun Changfeng who asked the question said "oh", then shook his head and said:
"That's a pity. I heard that Patriarch Zhao doesn't have a Taoist partner yet. I have a pair of granddaughters who are naturally beautiful and talented. I bring them with me this time. I intend to let the two of them meet Patriarch Zhao. If they can become one, I will also marry you." It’s a good thing, it’s a pity, it’s a pity.”
