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

Chapter 40: Coming out of seclusion, the traces of the demon cultivators

At this moment, the spiritual energy of the entire Qianyang Mountain was stirred.

Ji Bochang and Ji Yunfan, who were talking to each other in the back mountain, couldn't help but look up in surprise.

In the distance, where Ji Haoyuan's cave was located, surging spiritual energy was seen.

The sky and the earth seemed to form a funnel.

Large amounts of spiritual energy continued to flow into Ji Haoyuan's cave below.

"What is Fifth Uncle doing...?"

Although he already had some guesses in his mind, Ji Yunfan still couldn't help but speak.

Ji Bochang did not answer immediately, but quickly took out several formation flags from his body and threw them towards the location of Ji Haoyuan's cave in front.

Then he stomped on the ground suddenly and made quick hand gestures.

hum!
In an instant, the spiritual energy around Ji Haoyuan's cave became more and more turbulent.

At the same time, the faint aura that had just emanated from Ji Haoyuan's cave was very well isolated.

It was only then that Ji Bochang turned to Ji Yunfan and said:

"You guessed right, your fifth uncle might have made another breakthrough.

However, for now, don't publicize this matter. Just keep it to yourself."

It really is……

Ji Yunfan was shocked.

How long has it been since my fifth uncle broke through the foundation-building stage?
This is actually...

Thinking of this, as the head of the clan, he quickly understood the intention of Ji Bochang's words and nodded solemnly.

"Don't worry, Grandpa, I will never tell anyone about this."

Three years later.

Inside the cave where Ji Haoyuan is.

Shadows of magic spells kept flashing in the void around Ji Haoyuan.

Sometimes they turned into snarling fire snakes, sometimes into giant shields as vast as mountains, sometimes into scorching flames like meteors, and sometimes into cold sword energy.

finally.

These lights and shadows gathered into seals that seemed to have self-awareness and gradually merged into Ji Haoyuan's body.

This seal is a mark that can only be condensed after the magic has surpassed the level of perfection and reached the level of superb skills.

Commonly known as Dharma Seal.

There is no need to make hand gestures, chant incantations, or cast spells deliberately.

Just a thought and the magic will be performed.

And all the seals can be switched back and forth between each other.

Some of them can even be integrated with each other to increase their power.

This was one of Ji Haoyuan's gains in the past three years after he broke through to the late stage of foundation building.

In addition to these, he also pushed his weapon refining attainments to the second level.

He just raised it casually.

hum!
In an instant, a large umbrella shining with yellow light appeared above Ji Haoyuan's head.

This umbrella is called Kunluo Ling Umbrella. It is made from many materials from the Kunling Demon Python and has very strong defensive power.

Although its grade is only mid-level second-grade, it is not much different from the general second-grade top-grade defensive spiritual weapon.

of course.

These are not his biggest gains in the past three years.

Ji Haoyuan's greatest achievement in the past three years was to deduce and complete the secret technique of spiritual consciousness called Phantom Divine Thorn, and to successfully practice it.

Once this secret technique is released, anyone below the Golden Core stage who does not have spiritual defense tools will find it difficult to be his opponent.

After reorganizing what he had gained and all his status, Ji Haoyuan decided not to stay in the cave any longer.

He opened the restrictions of the cave and walked out.

As soon as he came outside, he saw Ji Bochang standing there, as well as Ji Yunfan, the patriarch of their Ji family.

The two of them obviously didn't expect that Ji Haoyuan would come out at this time. Seeing this, they were slightly stunned, and then a hint of surprise appeared on their faces.

"Haoyuan, what are you doing...?"

"Well, I was lucky this time. I got some opportunities and was lucky enough to break through."

Facing the two people in front of him, Ji Haoyuan had nothing to hide, so he immediately told them about his previous experiences outside.

After hearing this, the two of them were a little surprised.

I never thought that three years ago when Ji Haoyuan went out, he would encounter such a thing.

"Right, don't talk about me for now.

I saw you guys seemed to be talking about something just now.

What? Has anything happened in our Ji family recently? "

Ji Haoyuan suddenly interrupted their thoughts.

He had just seen clearly that Ji Bochang and Ji Yunfan seemed to be discussing something.

Moreover, the expressions on both of their faces didn't seem to be very good at that time.

When they heard Ji Haoyuan's question, they, who were still shocked by Ji Haoyuan's earlier experience, couldn't help but show a trace of solemnity on their faces.

"Yunfan, you should talk to your fifth uncle about this matter."

At this time, Ji Bochang said something to Ji Yunfan.

Upon hearing this, Ji Yunfan agreed immediately, and then said to Ji Haoyuan solemnly:
"Reporting to Uncle Wu, in the past few days, we have discovered many traces of demonic cultivators within our Ji family's territory."

"Um……"

As soon as Ji Yunfan said this, Ji Haoyuan's expression froze.

“What exactly happened?

Yunfan, tell me in detail."

Ji Haoyuan, who had personally encountered two foundation-building demon cultivators in the Qiulin Mountains that day, knew very well that this matter was of no trivial importance.

Ji Yunfan did not dare to neglect it and immediately spoke again:

"Not long ago, people from our family discovered traces of demonic cultivators in Luohe Market, Xichuan Market, and near the Yuntie Mine."

It is worth mentioning here that since Ji Haoyuan was promoted to the Foundation Establishment stage, the overall strength of the Ji family has slowly begun to recover, and those industries that they had sold at a low price earlier have gradually returned to their hands.

Among them is the Xichuan Market that Ji Yunfan just mentioned.

At this time, Ji Yunfan continued:
“Moreover, as far as I know, the traces of the demon cultivators are not limited to our Ji family’s territory.

Including the Liu family and the Zhang family, there seem to be traces of demonic activities.

As for whether there are any traces of demonic cultivators from other factions outside of Nanning County, I am not particularly clear about this at the moment."

"Hmm, even in the Liu and Zhang families, are there any traces of demonic cultivators appearing?"

Ji Haoyuan's eyes narrowed slightly.

Instinctively, he sensed something was wrong.

The doubts that had arisen in his mind earlier came to his mind again.

Could it be that the demonic cultivators really want to take the initiative to wage war against them, or to be more precise, against the Chixia Sect above them?

If that were the case, things would become very tricky.

Things like war.

Once it happens, it is something no one can fully control.

At least, these major families and sects living in the territory under the jurisdiction of the Chixia Sect will definitely not be able to escape.

One hundred percent, you will be caught up in this storm.

"By the way, have you caught any specific person before?"

Suddenly, Ji Haoyuan thought of this question and immediately asked Ji Yunfan.
