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

Chapter 13: Cold Pond Jade, Heavenly Spiritual Root, News about Zhang Family Ancestor

With just a few words, Zhang Mingze dispelled the originally somewhat stiff atmosphere in the room.

I have to say that this person is really good at dealing with people and the ways of the world.

Even the gift he gave was something that Ji Haoyuan found difficult to refuse.

That is something that can truly help improve the quality of a second-level fire-attribute spiritual weapon.

Under normal circumstances, even if you want to buy it, you may not be able to buy it.

visible.

The Zhang brothers came here not to have any overt conflicts with the Ji family.

At least not at the moment.

And their Ji family also needs such a buffer period.

and so.

When Zhang Mingze took out the flaming gold red iron, Ji Haoyuan did not refuse. Instead, he smiled and took it, and expressed his gratitude.

Seeing this, Liu Hongyu on the side did not continue the previous topic. Instead, she also smiled, took out a jade bottle from her own body, handed it to Ji Haoyuan and said:

"Fellow Daoist Haoyuan, please forgive me if I was rude just now.

This is a gift I prepared specifically for you. It is pure jadeite from the depths of the cold pond. It can greatly replenish a cultivator's vitality and restore the essence that has been depleted in the past."

"Cold Pond Chalcedony?"

Seeing what Liu Hongyu took out, not only Ji Haoyuan and Ji Bochang, but even the Zhang brothers beside them were slightly surprised.

Just as Liu Hongyu said just now, the greatest function of this thing is to replenish the vitality of the cultivator and restore the essence that has been consumed in the past.

To put it simply, this thing has the effect of increasing lifespan.

And it is also a kind of natural spiritual creature.

Such spiritual objects can be said to be extremely precious treasures no matter where they are placed.

The most important thing is that this thing is also effective even for Liu Hongyu herself.

She was willing to take it out.

Or, he really wanted to use this thing to befriend Ji Haoyuan and look forward to his future.

Or, she may have already taken this medicine and it no longer has any effect on her.

Because no matter what kind of spiritual object can increase longevity, it is only effective when taken for the first time.

This is the law of this world, and no one can violate it.

Taking the jade bottle containing the Cold Pond Chalcedony from Liu Hongyu, Ji Haoyuan expressed his gratitude sincerely:

"Thank you for this gift, Fellow Daoist Liu. It is indeed very important to me."

As he spoke, he did not forget to clasp his fists towards Liu Hongyu.

"Haha, I hope Fellow Daoist Haoyuan doesn't blame me for my slip of the tongue just now."

Liu Hongyu smiled and shook her head.

Although I don’t know the intention of Liu Hongyu’s deliberate words just now.

What is the ultimate purpose?

But I think it’s just that.

But at this time, those things are no longer so important.

The other party's willingness to take out the Cold Pond Jadeite was enough to make Ji Haoyuan and the others stop caring about those things.

After some time.

The Zhang brothers left first.

Seeing this, Liu Hongyu didn't plan to stay any longer.

But before she left, she seemed to suddenly think of something and turned to Ji Haoyuan and Ji Bochang and said:

"Gentlemen, I heard that among the younger generation of the Zhang family, there seems to be a disciple with natural spiritual roots. He has now been sent to the Chixia Sect and has become a disciple of a certain Jindan Zhenren.

In addition, the ancestor of their family, whom they had not seen for a long time, did not seem to have passed away.

On the contrary, their family's ancestor is very likely to make further progress."

"what?"

When Ji Haoyuan and Ji Bochang heard the news from Liu Hongyu, they were both shocked.

In recent years, the Ji family has devoted most of their energy to self-protection and seeking a way out.

Therefore, there is inevitably some lag in information on other aspects.

I never thought that the Zhang family would quietly produce such an outstanding disciple. A natural spiritual root, a true golden elixir seed.

The only thing that they could not have imagined was that their Zhang family was willing to send such an outstanding disciple to the Chixia Sect.

You know, once a family member joins the sect, the ties between him and the family will be severed invisibly.

After all, once you join a sect, your identity is no longer that of a member of a certain family, but a disciple of that sect.

From now on, everything must be based on the interests of the sect first.

But even so, the connection between the other party and the original family would not be completely gone.

Especially when he gains a certain status and voice in the sect, even if you do nothing and say nothing, there will be people who will use this to please you.

If one day, you really achieve the golden elixir.

Not to mention that.

He could easily recruit members of his original family into the sect and establish a family branch that belongs exclusively to him within the sect.

What's more, this time Liu Hongyu revealed more than just this piece of information.

If Ji Haoyuan and the others remembered correctly, the oldest ancestor of the Zhang family seemed to be almost two hundred years old now.

The lifespan of a foundation-building cultivator is generally around two hundred and forty years.

Let’s put aside the energy lost due to injuries sustained during the journey, as well as the loss of lifespan caused by various accidents.

The approximate lifespan of a foundation-building cultivator is around two hundred and twenty years.

Even at such an advanced age, the other party still has the hope of making further progress.

That is definitely not good news for their Ji family, and even for the Liu family.

Because they all knew very well that the ancestor of the Zhang family had already reached the middle stage of foundation building before he passed away.

If he can make one more step forward this time, he will definitely be in the late stage of foundation building.

If we talk about the gap between the early stage of foundation building and the middle stage of foundation building, the strength gap between each other can be narrowed by practicing skills, treasures, spells, etc.

However, in the later stages of foundation building, it is difficult to make up for these gaps by normal means.

Even the worst late-stage foundation-building cultivator can, at certain times, crush the cultivators in the middle-stage and early-stage foundation-building stages.

Therefore, in a Jindan sect like the Chixia Sect.

Any cultivator who has reached the late stage of foundation building will be given a position with real power in the sect, and will even be given the title of elder.

Thinking of this, Ji Haoyuan and Ji Bochang already understood why Liu Hongyu behaved like that earlier.

"correct……"

Then Liu Hongyu continued, "A year later, there will be a trade fair among foundation-building cultivators in Mingxia Market.

If you two are interested, we can go together."

"Is this a trade fair among foundation-building cultivators?"

Ji Haoyuan and Ji Bochang pondered for a moment, then heard Ji Haoyuan say:

"If I have time then, I will contact Fellow Daoist Liu."

He knew that the Mingxia Market mentioned by Liu Hongyu was a market under the jurisdiction of the Chixia Sect.

There are basically no major security issues when holding a trade fair there.

"Okay then. I'll wait for your news later."

Liu Hongyu responded with a smile and then said goodbye.

the other side.

Zhang Mingze and Zhang Mingyuan, who left earlier, both looked unhappy at the moment.

Especially Zhang Mingyuan.

His eyes were gloomy, and he turned to look at Zhang Mingze beside him and said:
"Brother, what did that bitch surnamed Liu mean before? Did she really think we were fools and couldn't see anything?"

Zhang Mingze waved his hand upon hearing this.

At this moment, his expression has returned to calm.

Then he said calmly: "No matter what the other party's intention is, it doesn't matter.

When our grandfather comes out of seclusion and Zhilong grows up, this Nanning County will sooner or later belong to you and me.

Right now, they don’t want to break up with our Zhang family and want to buy as much time as possible, but they don’t know that our Zhang family also needs time…”

Having said that, Zhang Mingze said no more and immediately returned to Dongming Mountain where their Zhang family lived with Zhang Mingyuan.
