Family Rise: Beginning with Grandfather.

Chapter 991 Hall Master of the Immortal Hall
After Li Jianning finished his sermon, the Qi Refining stage cultivators dispersed, while the Foundation Establishment stage cultivators prepared to return to the hall to exchange their cultivation experiences.

suddenly!

The earth suddenly shook violently, as if an earth dragon were turning over.

"What happened?"

"The earth dragon turned over?"

"Are you kidding me? How could an earth dragon be turning over here!"

In the land of spiritual energy, the earth's veins are stable, making it absolutely impossible for an earth dragon to rise up.

The group looked bewildered, but their confusion quickly disappeared.

Huhuhu~~
A gust of wind swept in, like a sudden gale, rustling the branches and leaves.

Instantly, everyone's spiritual senses swept towards the north.

buzzing~~
Visible fluctuations of spiritual energy converged towards the north, sweeping past them like a tide.

In the blink of an eye, the spiritual energy within a radius of dozens of miles seemed to be drained, causing the group of immortal cultivators to feel a strong sense of suffocation.

"This is?"

Xuanzhen rose up from the ground, leaping over the snow-capped mountain behind the disciples' quarters, and then stared blankly in the direction of Wuzhen Dao Palace.

The rest of the group also followed suit and flew into the sky.

A massive vortex of spiritual energy appeared above the Wuzhen Dao Palace, covering several miles and spinning at an extremely fast speed, frantically absorbing the surrounding spiritual energy.

"Core Formation!" Kota exclaimed in disbelief, his eyes wide.

“It’s Yunxiao!” Xuanzhen said.

The group exchanged glances, then flew together toward the Wuzhen Dao Palace, no longer caring about the Foundation Establishment Ceremony.

……

Wanqi Hall.

Yunxiao sat cross-legged on the bed, his eyes closed and his face expressionless.

As the cultivation technique slowly began to circulate, a pitted, round bead within Yunxiao's dantian was absorbing a large amount of spiritual energy from heaven and earth under the operation of his spiritual sense.

The spiritual energy enters the body through the spiritual aperture at the top of the head, passes through the meridians, and transforms into drops of spiritual liquid that flow into the dantian. It then seeps into the pitted surface of the round bead, gradually filling in the tiny pits and smoothing out the barely perceptible cracks.

Time passed second by second, and with each breath, Yunxiao absorbed the spiritual energy, which was like a great river, like a giant whale sucking up water.

buzzing~~
As the spiritual liquid continued to flow into the bead, it gradually became smooth and shiny, the pits were filled, the cracks disappeared, and a flawless golden elixir was slowly taking shape.

With a loud bang, Yunxiao's whole body trembled, and his aura changed instantly.

The heavy, solid pressure transformed into a whirlwind and spread outwards. At the same time, the soul was also undergoing a transformation, and the spiritual consciousness spread out, covering an area of ​​hundreds, thousands, and tens of thousands of feet, spanning dozens of miles.

"This is where?"

Yunxiao slowly opened his eyes, revealing a bewildered expression.

His confusion stemmed not only from not knowing where he was, but also from the lingering sense of ignorance.

Previously, he had been in a state of ignorance, his mind shrouded in a state of confusion, like someone who was half asleep and half asleep, his consciousness in a hazy state.

However, a cool sensation soon came to his mind, his consciousness gradually returned, and fragmented memories surfaced.

"Sun Cave Heaven, Nine Cauldrons Divine Pill, Core Formation!"

"Energy formation!"

His expression suddenly changed, and then he revealed a look of wild joy.

"I actually succeeded in forming my core!"

His mind went blank for a moment, and he repeatedly confirmed that there was indeed a radiant golden core in his dantian.

"Haha~~"

"I've formed a pill!"

"Haha~~"

He laughed maniacally, tears streaming down his face.

The laughter lasted for a long time before he gradually calmed down.

He then got up, dusted off his clean long robe, and slowly walked out of the room.

Outside the Hall of Ten Thousand Qi.

Xuanzhen and the others had been waiting for a long time. When Yunxiao walked out of the hall, everyone stared at him blankly, their eyes wide open.

"What? Fellow Daoists, don't you recognize me?" Yunxiao said with a smile.

Xuanzhen was startled and came to his senses. "Fellow Daoist Yunxiao, is that you?"

“That’s right, I was fortunate enough to form a false core! Hehe, I have to thank Fellow Daoist Kou and Fellow Daoist Hong for their help!” Yunxiao looked at Kou Ta and Hong Fuxiu with goodwill in his eyes.

Kota blinked, "True Lord Yunxiao!"

Hong Fuxiu's expression shifted slightly, and she quickly bowed and said, "Greetings, True Lord Yunxiao!"

Upon hearing this, everyone seemed to awaken from a dream, and they all bowed and said, "Greetings, True Lord Yunxiao!"

Whether it's a real elixir or a fake one, it's still a golden elixir.

A golden elixir is swallowed into my belly, and my fate is determined by nature.

There is a world of difference between Golden Core cultivators and Foundation Establishment cultivators.

"Why are you all so polite!" Yunxiao waved his sleeve, and a powerful magical force suddenly appeared, lifting everyone up. However, it lifted them a little too high, almost sending them flying into the sky.

"Hey hey hey~~" Xuanzhen cried out in a bit of a panic.

Yunxiao quickly withdrew his magic, and the group landed back on the ground in a flustered state.

"Ahem, I just broke through and haven't gotten used to such immense magical power yet, hahaha, everyone, I'm sorry!" Yunxiao stroked his beard somewhat awkwardly.

He was indeed not used to it; the magical power he now possessed was simply too immense, dozens of times greater than what he had before.

"Congratulations, True Lord, on the completion of your Golden Elixir! May you live a long and prosperous life!" Kota congratulated him.

"Haha, congratulations! Fellow Daoist Kou's cultivation has also improved; he's now in the late Foundation Establishment stage!"

"Congratulations, True Lord!"

"Joy and rejoice together!"

Everyone offered their congratulations, and Yunxiao returned their greetings one by one.

It took a long time for everyone to recover from their shock and surprise, and they entered the Myriad Qi Palace at Xuanzhen's invitation.

"Where is Fellow Daoist Yang?" Yunxiao asked.

He had already remembered what had happened before, but his memory stopped at the moment he swallowed the Nine Cauldrons Divine Pill. After that, he only had some vague memories, and he couldn't remember what had happened at all.

He could guess that Yang Zhengshan must have brought him here and provided him with a safe environment for cultivation.

Upon hearing this, Xuanzhen hesitated for a moment before replying, "The Master is currently in seclusion!"

"Oh!" Yunxiao didn't pay any attention and continued walking into the hall.

"Please take a seat, True Lord!" Xuanzhen waved his hand and brought out a series of chairs, placing one in the center.

The Hall of Myriad Qi was his place of cultivation, so there were no tables or chairs set up; there was only a futon in the hall.

Yunxiao glanced at the seat of honor, then sat down in the seat of honor below him.

"This is your dojo, you should sit in the seat of honor!"

He looked at Xuanzhen with a meaningful gaze.

Xuanzhen touched his nose. "With the True Lord here, how could this humble Taoist dare to presume?"

As he spoke, he sat down next to Yunxiao.

Actually, this seat was a test, a test to see if Yunxiao would have any inappropriate thoughts after successfully forming his core.

However, Yunxiao clearly saw through his probing.

"Please be seated, everyone. Fellow Daoist Xuanzhen, why don't you introduce me to the rest of you?" Yunxiao said with a smile.

He had met most of the people here before, but there were also several he hadn't met before.

"Junior Yang Jizhen pays respects to the True Lord!" Yang Jizhen bowed deeply.

"Young friend Yang, there's no need for such formalities. I dare not accept such a gesture!" Yunxiao stood up and said politely. He naturally recognized Yang Jizhen; his Pure Innocent Flying Sword was forged by Yang Jizhen.

He had also met Ma Qiuyan, Cui Yang, and Ning Yun.

"This is my fifth junior brother Zhang Hexuan, and these are my sixth and seventh junior sisters Li Jianning and Li Jianan."

"This is Fellow Daoist Bai Xiaoyun. He used to be a guest elder of my Yang family, and now he is an elder of my Immortal Hall!"

"This is Fellow Daoist Li Shangyuan, and also an elder of my Immortal Hall!"

Yang Jizhen introduced himself.

The group stepped forward again to pay their respects.

After another round of pleasantries, everyone sat down again.

Yunxiao asked again, "You still haven't told me where this place is?"

Xuanzhen looked at Yang Jizhen, who smiled and said, "This is the Lingyuan Cave Heaven of my Yang family!"

"A grotto-heaven!" Yunxiao was taken aback, and then unconsciously looked up.

Of course, he wasn't looking at the top of the palace, but rather sensing the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth.

"It really is a hidden paradise! No wonder I felt something was off earlier!"

"Your Yang family's grotto-heaven? Your Yang family actually has a grotto-heaven?"

"Oh right, this is Bai Yujing!"

He suddenly remembered the rumors about the Yang family.

"This is Jade Capital City!" Yang Jizhen said. "Would you like to go out for a stroll, True Lord?"

"Alright!" Yunxiao became interested.

Then everyone left the Wanqi Palace together and flew towards the direction of Yujing City.

Wuzhen Dao Palace is located in Yujing City, but it is not in the core area of ​​Yujing City.

The core area of ​​Yujing City is located on the south side of Lingquan Mountain, which is where Ziwei Tower and Taiwei Tower are located.

However, the most prosperous area in Yujing City was the former Changshou City area.

The group flew from Wuzhen Dao Palace to the sky above the disciples' residence.

They had just stopped when someone flew down from below.

"Jizhen, has something happened?" Qingxia asked.

Yang Jizhen quickly greeted her and said, "Aunt Qingxia, True Monarch Yunxiao has successfully formed his core!"

"Core Formation!" Qingxia was taken aback, then looked at Yunxiao, the most unfamiliar person among them.

"Who is this?" Yunxiao asked curiously.

“Aunt Qingxia is a disciple of my family’s matriarch!” Yang Jizhen said.

Yunxiao was a little confused about who this old lady was referring to.

But it doesn't matter, Yu Qingyi has already noticed the situation here and has also flown up.

"This humble servant, Yu Qingyi, greets the True Lord!"

After another introduction, Yu Qingyi greeted Yunxiao.

"I dare not accept that. So you are Fellow Daoist Yang's wife. This old man has met you before!" Yunxiao bowed in return, his attitude extremely humble.

Given his status, he naturally didn't need to be so polite to Yu Qingyi, but he felt that being even more polite to Yu Qingyi wouldn't be excessive.

He understood that without Yang Zhengshan's help, he would never have been able to swallow the Nine Cauldrons Divine Pill, nor would he have been able to successfully form his own core after swallowing it.

Although he has now become a Golden Core True Lord, he has never forgotten Yang Zhengshan's kindness to him.

Upon seeing this, Xuanzhen breathed a slight sigh of relief.

He was genuinely afraid that Yunxiao was a despicable person, and if Yunxiao were to attempt something nefarious, then the Spirit Source Land would be in real trouble.

However, he only breathed a sigh of relief and was not truly at ease.

Yang Jizhen, on the other hand, appeared completely calm and composed.

Afterwards, the group accompanied Yunxiao on a tour of Yujing City and introduced him to the situation of the Spirit Source Land.

After Yunxiao understood the situation, everyone went to Taiwei Tower together.

Taiwei Tower is located above Ziwei Tower and below Lingquan Waterfall.

The nine-story pavilion is over ten zhang tall, and its top is only four or five zhang lower than the cliff edge of Lingquan Mountain.

The group took their seats in the immortal hall of Taiwei Tower. Yunxiao invited Yu Qingyi to take the seat of honor, and Yu Qingyi did not refuse and naturally sat in the main seat.

The Spirit Source Land belongs to the Yang family. Since Yang Zhengshan is not here, she, as the matriarch of the Yang family, is the person with the highest status in the Yang family.

"Now that you have successfully formed your core, what are your plans?" Yu Qingyi asked softly.

"Uh, I still need to stabilize my cultivation. I wonder if Fellow Daoist Yang has any plans before going into seclusion?" Yunxiao said.

He didn't know what to do. Actually, he should go and stabilize his cultivation, but he wanted to see what the situation was like here, so he planned to stabilize his cultivation later.

Yu Qingyi looked at Yang Jizhen, who said, "If True Lord is willing, you may join my Spirit Origin Land. My Spirit Origin Land is willing to treat you as a Hall Master!"

"Hall Master?"

"Yes, he is the Hall Master of the Taiwei Tower Immortal Hall, whose status is second only to the Ancestor!"

Among the twelve buildings, Taiwei Building holds the highest status, containing the Immortal Hall, Demon Hall, and Martial Hall, followed by Ziwei Building.

Yang Zhengshan concurrently serves as the master of Taiwei Tower, but he should be the master of Lingyuan Cave.

"Very well, from now on I am the head of the Immortal Hall!"

Yunxiao did not hesitate and agreed immediately.

Although his understanding of the Spirit Source Land is still very shallow, he naturally wouldn't refuse since it was Yang Zhengshan's arrangement.

Seeing that he agreed so readily, everyone smiled.

From then on, everyone was one family, and the relationship between the two sides immediately became much closer.

Everyone also expressed their curiosity to Yunxiao, mainly about Golden Core cultivators.

Yunxiao patiently explained her situation to them.

He didn't know how his situation differed from that of a real Golden Core cultivator, but he just talked about his feelings and experiences based on his own situation.

For a moment, the atmosphere was quite harmonious.

However, Yunxiao still needed to consolidate his cultivation, so after chatting with everyone for more than two hours, he proposed to go into seclusion.

Helpless, Xuanzhen once again gave him his Myriad Qi Palace.

After Xuanzhen left with Yunxiao, Yu Qingyi showed a thoughtful expression.

"Ancestor, what do you think?" Yang Jizhen asked softly.

Yu Qingyi thought for a moment and said, "It should be fine. The True Lord still remembers the Master's kindness!"

"That's good. I was really afraid this person would be ungrateful!" Yang Jizhen finally breathed a sigh of relief.

This concern wasn't unique to Xuanzhen; others shared it as well.

After all, Yunxiao was an outsider, and a Golden Core cultivator who had just successfully formed his core. Everyone was worried that he might have ill intentions towards the Spirit Source Land.

"Don't let your guard down yet, you still need to be on guard!" Yu Qingyi said.

"Yes!" Yang Jizhen replied.

Before going into seclusion, Yang Zhengshan had naturally considered Yunxiao's situation. Although he did not think Yunxiao was an ungrateful scoundrel, he also knew the importance of being cautious.

Therefore, before going into seclusion, he handed over the Golden Crow Eight Trigrams Furnace to Yang Jizhen.

With the Golden Crow Eight Trigrams Furnace in hand, Yang Jizhen dared not say he could fight against a Golden Core cultivator, but he could at least hold his own for a while.

Moreover, Yunxiao has just formed his core, and his cultivation is not yet stable. It is uncertain how much combat power he has at this time.

Yunxiao went into seclusion again, and the Spirit Source Land was not greatly affected. Although everyone was worried, they were not too nervous.

Everyone went about their business as usual, and everything remained the same.
