100-year-old foundation building, starting from the maximum level of understanding

Chapter 12: Foundation Building Ceremony, "Confrontation" of Words

Zhang family, Dongming Mountain.

A middle-aged man with slightly narrow eyes looked at the invitation sent by someone from the Ji family not long ago with a serious expression.

A few moments.

He turned to look at his brother beside him, the middle-aged man with a long beard, and said in a deep voice:
"Brother, how do you think we should deal with this matter now?"

It can be seen that the question asked by the man with narrow eyes was not about the invitation sent by the Ji family.

The bearded man was obviously well aware of this.

He only hesitated for a moment, then said to the man with narrow eyes:

"Go and deal with everything related to it.

Remember, be clean."

The man with narrow eyes seemed a little unwilling.

But in the end, he still listened to his brother's advice and nodded:
"Okay, today, I will make all the remaining people from the Sun family disappear."

Qianyang Mountain.

The location of the back mountain.

When Ji Haoyuan told Ji Bochang all of his experiences and speculations, Ji Bochang's eyes suddenly flashed with golden light.

“It seems that someone has indeed been coveting my Ji family for a long time.

The appearance of Sun Renzheng this time is the best proof."

The Sun Renzheng mentioned by Ji Bochang here is the masked old man.

Others may not be aware of Sun Renzheng's situation, but he, Ji Bochang, is an exception.

Because if he remembered correctly, when the demonic disaster broke out in their Sun family, Sun Renzheng happened to be away from the family, and thus escaped the disaster.

Over the years, the Ji family has been targeted many times, both openly and covertly.

If he were just an ordinary Qi-refining cultivator, he would never have the courage to do anything to the Ji family.

Only if there is someone behind the scenes, and that person's power is no less than that of their Ji family, those who hide in the dark and then slowly walk to the front, will have the confidence to truly compete with their Ji family.

And all this is just what they can see and guess.

As for the deeper stuff...

At this time, Ji Bochang and Ji Haoyuan already had a rough guess in their minds.

However, in this kind of situation, before the two sides really fall out, they still need to maintain harmony on the surface.

"Oh right, Old Ancestor, I found a pill that can be used to prolong life from Sun Renzheng."

After reaching a consensus with Ji Bochang on the matter, Ji Haoyuan also changed the subject.

He took out the jade bottle containing the Ten-Year Pill and handed it to Ji Bochang with a smile.

Ji Bochang showed a hint of surprise when he saw this.

He really didn't expect that Ji Haoyuan could get such a thing this time.

This is undoubtedly something he urgently needs now.

When Ji Haoyuan placed the Sun family's large pile of jade slips engraved with various martial arts inheritance techniques in front of Ji Bochang, Ji Bochang was really unable to remain calm.

As the ancestor of the Ji family, no one knows better than him what is the most important thing for a family to continue and develop.

In addition to necessary external resources, such as spiritual veins, treasures, spiritual materials, etc., the most important thing that can truly maintain the prosperity of a family and its continued development and growth is undoubtedly the core heritage of a family.

And what Ji Haoyuan is taking out now is exactly the most important thing of a family, or a force.

This made him happier than when he got the Ten-Year Pill.

With these jade slips of inherited cultivation techniques, the future generations of the Ji family would undoubtedly have more options for cultivation. Furthermore, one of the other family's core cultivation techniques, the Yimu Changchun Jue, clearly had many similarities and complementary aspects with their Ji family's core cultivation technique, the Changshou Qingmu Jue.

This gave him a lot of references and inspiration.

Combined with the ten-year pill, perhaps, in the next few years, he, who is about to enter the world, may even be able to take a step further.

At the very least, it shouldn't be a big problem to use this to repair some of his old injuries.

In this way, he might live a few more years and have a few more opportunities to take action.

A few months later.

Ji Haoyuan's foundation-building ceremony was held as scheduled on Qianyang Mountain in their Ji family's home.

In addition to the cultivators who depended on the Ji family for survival, those who came to participate in the ceremony naturally included cultivators from the other two major foundation-building families in Nanning County.

at this time.

In the Ji family's reception hall.

Ji Haoyuan and Ji Bochang are receiving the foundation-building ancestors from the Zhang and Liu families.

They are Zhang Mingyuan from the Zhang family, the man with narrow eyes, Zhang Mingze from the Zhang family, the man with long beard, and Liu Hongyu from the Liu family, the beautiful middle-aged woman in her forties.

Several people were communicating with each other, and it seemed that they were having a very pleasant conversation.

But, at this moment, Liu Hongyu from the Liu family suddenly turned to look at Ji Haoyuan and said in a rather meaningful tone:
"Fellow Daoist Haoyuan, before coming to your family, I had inquired about it. It was said that there seemed to be shadows of other families behind Sun Renzheng, silently supporting him.

At the very least, he should have reached some kind of cooperation or even an affiliated relationship with a certain family. I wonder if you have heard of this or have any guesses about it?"

As soon as Liu Hongyu finished speaking, the atmosphere, which seemed harmonious on the surface, suddenly froze.

Obviously, no one expected that Liu Hongyu would suddenly bring up such a thing at this time.

This made Zhang Mingyuan and Zhang Mingze's eyes narrow slightly.

Ji Haoyuan and Ji Bochang had slightly solemn expressions.

But soon, their expressions returned to normal.

Ji Haoyuan smiled and shook his head, saying, "Thank you, Daoist Liu, for reminding me. The matter you mentioned is something that the ancestor and I really don't understand clearly.

However, now that Sun Renzheng is dead, if everything ends here, my ancestor and I will not pursue the matter any further."

"is it?"

Liu Hongyu smiled meaningfully.

“Then I was a little too talkative.

However, I would like to hear what you two fellow Taoists from the Zhang family would do if you encountered a similar situation.

As she spoke, Liu Hongyu's eyes had already turned to Zhang Mingyuan and Zhang Mingze.

A cold light appeared in the depths of Zhang Mingyuan's pupils.

Zhang Mingze, on the other hand, had a humble smile on his face.

He looked at Liu Hongyu and replied with a smile:

"Fellow Daoist Liu, you're joking. We're here to congratulate Fellow Daoist Haoyuan. Let's put this kind of groundless talk aside for now.

Regardless, our three families have been operating together in Nanning County for hundreds of years. If anything were to happen, we would stand together and face the outside world in unison."

Having said this, Zhang Mingze took out a jade box from his body, then handed it to Ji Haoyuan with a smile and said:

"Fellow Daoist Haoyuan, I heard before I came here that you were practicing a fire-attributed technique. I believe this piece of flaming gold and red iron in my hand should be of some benefit to you.

This gift is a token of my brother and I's appreciation for your advancement to the Foundation Establishment stage. I hope you, Daoist Fellow Haoyuan, will not refuse it."
