The Rise of the Cultivation Family

Chapter 209 Foundation Building Ceremony 3
The first person to enter the main hall was Liu Renli, a foundation-building monk from the Liu family in Wuyou Valley. He was also the supreme elder of the Liu family.

In recent years, due to the family's policy of expanding the monk population, the Yun family's children have frequently come into contact with children from other family forces, hoping to form Taoist couples.

This move was quite effective, as several direct descendants of the Yun family formed Taoist couples with the Liu family's children in Wuyou Valley.

Therefore, the relationship between Wuyou Valley and Yunwu Mountain is now closer. As in-laws, they naturally have to come over earlier to support them.

"Fellow Daoist Liu, I didn't expect you to come here in person today."

Seeing the old man from the Liu family entering the guest reception hall, Yun Zuxian and Yun Zuxian hurriedly came forward to greet him, with Yun Yongzhu following them.

"Two fellow Daoists Yun, we haven't seen each other for a long time. Congratulations! This young man must be the protagonist of this foundation building ceremony. He is really a formidable person!"

"Young Daoist Liu is serious, please!"

Yun Zuxuan made a gesture of invitation with his right hand.

"Fellow Daoist Yun, please wait for fellow Taoist Zhou, he will be following Liu."

Sure enough, as soon as Liu Renli finished speaking, another old man came in outside the hall. This was Zhou Wenyuan, the foundation-building monk of the Zhou family in Biling Lake.

In order to prepare for this foundation-building feast, the Yun family specially purchased two thousand first-order blue dragon fish and two hundred kilograms of second-order black-scaled fish from the Zhou family in Biling Lake, spending a huge sum of one thousand spirit stones.

This is also the main reason why the Zhou family of Biling Lake went to Yunwu Mountain so early.

"Friend Zhou!"

Yun Yongzhu followed the two great-grandfathers and bowed with their hands.

"Three fellow Taoists Yun!"

Zhou Wenyuan returned the greeting, and then said to Liu Renli: "Why didn't Fellow Daoist Liu wait for me?"

"Don't be surprised, fellow Daoist Zhou, I only discovered you after entering Yunwu Mountain."

"Fellow Daoist Liu, Fellow Daoist Zhou, please come in quickly!"

Yun Zuxuan and Yun Zuxian enthusiastically introduced Liu Renli and Zhou Wenyuan into the Yuxiu Pavilion where the guests were entertained at the welcome desk, and then ordered the attendants to serve high-quality spiritual tea.

Then the five of them sat on the top floor of Yuxiu Pavilion and chatted for a while, mainly introducing these two families to Yun Yongzhu.

About a quarter of an hour later, the Huang family from Taohuashan and the Wang family from Lianhuashan came together.

Although there is competition among the five major families in Yunzhou, after years of marriage and business dealings, their relationships have long been intertwined.

However, Yunwushan only has a family history of more than 200 years, and it has not yet been fully integrated into Yunzhou.

Soon, monks from Yunjin Mountain and Ten Thousand Flowers Valley also came to the gate of Yunwu Mountain one after another.

Although Yun Shichang sent invitations to both Yunjin Mountain and Wanhua Valley, it was really uncertain whether they would send people to attend the ceremony.

Hearing the shouts coming from outside the guest reception hall, Yun Zuxuan said "excuse me" to Liu Renli and Zhou Wenyuan, and then left Yun Zuxian to lead them up the mountain to sit down at the table.

Then Yun Zuxuan and Yun Yongzhu went out to greet the guests from Taohua Mountain, Lotus Mountain, Yunjin Mountain and Wanhua Valley.

"Friend Huang Dao!"

"Friend Wang Dao!"

"Fairy Beiyan!"

"Friend Hu!"

"Friend Daoist Cloud!"

With only one stick of incense left before the ceremony started, Yun Zuxuan said a few polite words and led more than a dozen people from the four families directly to the ancestral hall on the mountain.

At this time, many monks who were originally waiting at the welcome desk were heading towards the mountain.

The journey was vast, and the four of them followed the flow of people and arrived at the entrance of the ancestral hall in about a quarter of an hour.

At this time, the large square outside the ancestral hall was already half full of people. The seating order of these people was mainly arranged based on their cultivation level.

Those with high cultivation and those with invitations should sit closer to the ancestral hall, while those with low cultivation and those without invitations should sit further away from the ancestral hall.Although there are only more than 100 sets of tables and chairs in the ancestral hall, it is more than enough to accommodate personnel from the four major families, Yunjin Mountain, Wanhua Valley, and a few casual cultivators in the foundation building period.

Also sitting inside were members of the five affiliated qi-training families of the Yun family and a dozen small families that were ranked among the best in the entire Yunzhou.

Inside and outside the ancestral hall, when they saw that the four major families and two major forces in Yunzhou had all come to Yun's foundation building ceremony, they couldn't help but talk about it, saying that Yun Yongzhu, the foundation building monk of Yunwu Mountain, was too proud.

Everyone who was supposed to come has already arrived. The monks in the ancestral hall only exchanged a few words, and the time passed by less than half a stick of incense.

"Boom!"

A melodious and loud bell sounded from the mountainside, and all the monks couldn't help but look stern, knowing that the foundation building ceremony was about to begin.

Sure enough, an old man who had perfected his Qi practice walked out of the ancestral hall. It was Yun Shichang, the patriarch of the Yun clan.

"The auspicious time has come!"

Yun Shichang's voice spread throughout the ancestral hall and inside, and everyone couldn't help but look solemn.

Then suddenly a huge light screen appeared in the sky above everyone, showing the scene inside the ancestral hall in full detail.

This is the effect of the auxiliary magic weapon projection stone, which can magnify a scene and picture dozens of times and present it to everyone.

For everyone present, this is equivalent to a live broadcast.

Yun Zuxuan stood up from his seat, looked at the hundreds of monks in the hall, and said to all the guests attending the ceremony:

"My Yunwushan clan has only been established for 260 years. Ever since our ancestors passed away, the family has been deteriorating.

Fortunately, God rewards hard work, and with the tireless efforts of my Yun family members, the family name has been maintained to this day...

Now, I, the 11th generation descendant of Yunwu Mountain, Yun Yongzhu, have been diligently cultivating and finally completed the foundation. I am very happy to congratulate you!

I hope everyone in the Yun clan will follow Yongzhu as an example, practice hard, and step into foundation building! "

When all the Yun clan members present saw this scene and heard Yun Zuxuan's words, their faces were filled with pride and excitement.

As for everyone else, they are all full of envy, even the people from the four major foundation-building families, Yunjin Mountain and Ten Thousand Flowers Valley.

After all, no matter where they are, there are a lot of Qi-training monks, but there are only three or two kittens among the Foundation-building monks.

Moreover, Yun Yongzhu became a foundation-building monk at such a young age, which was even more enviable to others.

"Without further ado, the Foundation Building Ceremony officially begins!"

Then Yun Zuxuan returned to his seat, while Yun Yongzhu stood up from his seat and came to the center of the ancestral hall.

Yun Shichang sang loudly at the right time: "Sacrifice to heaven and earth!"

When cultivators practice the art of immortality, they are actually robbing the resources of heaven and earth, which is an act against heaven.

But God still left a chance for immortality to the monks, so the monks should also be grateful to this world.

Therefore, when a monk successfully builds the foundation and holds a ceremony, some monks will have such a ceremony to announce to the world that they have successfully entered the door of immortality.

Yun Yongzhu took out a golden spirit incense six inches long and about the thickness of his thumb from his storage bag.

He lit it, then bowed three times to the outside of the ancestral hall with a solemn expression, completing the ritual.

Next, a tribesman came up with a gilded incense burner, and Yun Yongzhu inserted the incense in his hand.

"Sacrifice to the ancestors!"

If this was a foundation building ceremony held in the sect, this step should be to worship the ancestor.

Yun Yongzhu turned around and entered the innermost part of the ancestral hall, coming to the middle of the hall where the ancestors' tablets were enshrined.

There is only a futon placed here for Yun Yongzhu to kneel on.
