Chapter 186 Arrangements for Funerals
Ye Yunqi sent a voice message, "The head of the family has good intentions. Yunqi thanks you in advance. However, Zhiyun is the pride of the Jiang family and has a promising future in building a foundation. Why doesn't he stay in the Jiang family? Moreover, the matter of marriage still depends on the individual's wishes."

The head of the Jiang family did not respond immediately. He just slowly opened his eyes and looked around at the elders.

People have different hearts. When I was around, Jiang Zhiyun was the pride of the Jiang family.

But if I were gone, Jiang Zhiyun would probably become the sinner of the Jiang family.

The Jiang family's financial situation was very difficult, and they could barely make ends meet. Where could they save up the money to buy a third foundation-building pill?
Even if the Jiang family recovers and saves up enough foundation-building pills, doesn't the Jiang family have new descendants in need during this period of time?

By then, I would no longer be around and would not be able to take care of Jiang Zhiyun. Jiang Zhiyun would become guilty of taking the foundation-building pill but failing to break through.

Time is merciless, and by that time, Jiang Zhiyun was no longer young.

When it comes to breakthroughs in cultivation, the younger you are, the more opportunities you have.

In fact, the lifespan of people who practice Qigong is not much different from that of ordinary people. Once they are over 30, they have entered middle age and the probability of a breakthrough will decrease.

But when you reach fifty, you can be considered old.

Ordinary families would not give resources to people over fifty to try.

Jiang Yucheng sighed quietly in his heart.

With Jiang Qingzi by Ye Yunqi's side, she has a promising future and a bright future.

And Jiang Zhiyun only has this one chance in the Jiang family.

If I fail to build the foundation this time, when will I be able to do it a second time?
Jiang Yucheng sent a message to Ye Yunqi: "Yunqi, no one is a saint, and no one is selfless. This request is also a personal favor of an old man like me. The Jiang family is too small, and Zhiyun's future is probably cut off if she stays in the Jiang family."

"I will talk to Zhiyun, but I hope Yunqi won't despise me."

After hearing this, Ye Yunqi found it hard to say anything. He couldn't really say that he disliked him, right?

Jiang Zhiyun has a beautiful appearance and excellent spiritual roots, so Ye Yunqi definitely won't despise her.

"Miss Zhiyun is very talented, Yunqi doesn't dare to do that, but Yunqi has a large family..."

"It's just the nature of a real man."

As Jiang Yucheng finished speaking, the spiritual energy in the sky began to fluctuate again.

The spiritual energy from all around surged into the quiet room. Such a movement could not be achieved through ordinary Qi training.

Suddenly, the spiritual energy gradually subsided, the quiet room opened, Jiang Zhiping's face was calm, but there was a hint of joy in his eyes.

Jiang Zhiping had just made a breakthrough, and the spiritual pressure on her body had not yet subsided. All the elders looked delighted, Zhiping had made a breakthrough!

The Jiang family now has another foundation-building master in charge.

What's more, Jiang Zhiping is still young. If nothing unexpected happens, he can rule the Jiang family for more than 180 years.

A hint of envy also appeared on Jiang Zhiyun's little face, and there was even a hint of regret in her eyes.

Maybe you feel that if you work harder, you can achieve such success?

"Good, good, good!" Jiang Yucheng smiled happily and cheered.

Jiang Zhiping walked in front of the crowd, faced Jiang Yucheng, knelt down with a plop, and kowtowed three times respectfully to Jiang Yucheng.

"Zhi Ping is where she is today thanks to the protection of the head of the family and the support of the family. From now on, Zhi Ping will do her best to protect our Jiang family."

Jiang Zhiping's words made all the old men smile.

Ye Yunqi nodded secretly. He was also one of the reasons why the family heritage remained prosperous.

If it were me, I would not be able to kneel down to anyone. It's because I have relied almost entirely on myself and the system along the way.

But if in the future, my descendants all live under my support and protection, I can afford to kneel down.

Jiang Yucheng personally helped Jiang Zhiping up, patted his hands and praised him, "Zhiping, please stand up quickly. You are a good son of my Jiang family. Good."

"Everyone, I am old and my time is coming to an end. Fortunately, my ancestors have protected me and my family has produced a good son. I have decided to hold a celebration to celebrate Zhiping's foundation building. I have also invited guests from all over the world to witness me passing the position of head of the family to Zhiping."

No one had any objections to the rest of the content.

But when they heard that the old patriarch wanted to pass on the throne, they all showed reluctance: "Patriarch..."

Lian Jiang Zhiping also refused: "Master, I am still young and don't understand much, how can I..."

But Jiang Yucheng had already made such a plan, and he interrupted others without questioning: "Please don't persuade me. I know my health well. I am going to die in the coming days. I am just holding on to protect the family for a few more days. Now that Zhiping has done well, I will die with peace of mind."

Although no one had talked about Jiang Yucheng's physical condition, everyone was mentally prepared.

Everyone had such happy expressions on their faces just now, but after hearing what was said, they all became sad, and Jiang Zhiyun even burst into tears.

Only Ye Yunqi was silent. As expected, he was an outsider.

Although I feel a little sad about the coming of this old senior's time, it is just a sigh.

After all, he is an outsider.

Jiang Yucheng pulled Jiang Zhiyun to his side and suddenly said, "Zhiyun, don't be sad. Now everything in the Jiang family is fine, but I am worried about you."

Jiang Zhiyun was even more sad when she heard this, and kept saying, "It's all Zhiyun's fault. I failed grandpa's expectations."

"It's not your fault, it's just..." Jiang Yucheng said this with some hesitation. If he said it in public, it would be suspected of coercion. In addition, Jiang Zhiyun was young and ignorant. If he said something abruptly, it would inevitably ruin the relationship.

"Forget it. Grandpa will talk to you again after we go back. Don't be sad, everyone else. Birth, aging, sickness and death are all natural. The alternation of generations is natural. I just hope that the Jiang family will prosper forever. The rest of you should go and prepare. Qing Zhiping has established his foundation and achieved enlightenment."

Jiang Yucheng waved his hand, and everyone bowed and retreated.

Ye Yunqi also followed the crowd and left.

Jiang Zhiping suddenly took a few quick steps and caught up with Ye Yunqi.

"Elder Yunqi!"

Ye Yunqi heard the call from behind and stopped to look back.

Ye Yunqi had a good impression of Jiang Zhiping.

Being hardworking and diligent is also considered as being willing to work hard and never complain.

When he first started to refine the blood essence for the Jiang family, Jiang Zhiping followed him around and transported the animal carcasses.

As his free errand boy, Ye Yunqi naturally wouldn't have a bad impression.

"Zhiping, what's the matter?" Ye Yunqi asked.

Jiang Zhiping looked at Ye Yunqi with a fiery look in his eyes, but then he shook his head and said, "Elder Yunqi, I wanted to find Elder Yunqi to exchange ideas after I build my foundation. After all, we are both new to the foundation building stage, but now it seems unnecessary."

"Oh? Why is it not necessary again?" Ye Yunqi was a little confused.

Jiang Zhiping said calmly: "I have a feeling that I can't beat you."

"Haha. It's just an exchange and discussion. Winning or losing isn't important." Ye Yunqi waved his hand.

Ye Yunqi had already figured out that Jiang Zhiping's foundation-building movements were at most an ordinary foundation-building process.

As for myself, I am at the Daoyi foundation-building stage. Although we are both just beginning to build our foundation, there is still quite a bit of gap between us.

Although he doesn't master many techniques, they are all extraordinary.

Thunder magic is good at attacking, cloud magic is good at hiding. It also has a third-grade skill.

As for magic weapons... my possession is definitely much better than that of Jiang Zhiping, who comes from the Jiang family.

"Elder Yunqi is right! I hope Elder Yunqi will give me some advice!" Jiang Zhiping's eyes suddenly became hot, and he pulled Ye Yunqi's arm and walked towards the martial arts field.

At this time, outside the quiet room in the core area, there were only Jiang Yucheng and Jiang Zhiyun.

Jiang Yucheng stretched out his hand and touched his granddaughter's hair.

The ink-black black hair and the skinny old hands make one feel helpless about the passing of time.

"Zhiyun, my health is even more serious than what I said." Jiang Yucheng said slowly.

Jiang Zhiyun was about to speak when she was interrupted by Jiang Yucheng: "Listen to me first. This time, if you break through, it will be good. If Zhiping is the head of the family, you can also be a great elder. With two foundation-building masters, you can suppress my Jiang family."

"It's a pity that you didn't. It's a matter of time and fate. Because of these two foundation-building pills, the Jiang family suffered a great loss of vitality. It will be difficult for you to have a chance to break through in the future."

"Besides, if you fail to break through, I'm afraid someone will make things difficult for you after I die."

Jiang Zhiyun's eyes were still wet with tears as she listened to her grandfather's words in a daze, feeling filled with regret.

If I had known that I couldn't break through, I would have waited a little longer. What would have happened?
But...but how could I have known this earlier?
Jiang Yucheng patted Jiang Zhiyun on the back and said, "Don't regret it too much. It's useless to regret now that things have come to this point."

"The only thing I can think of is to promise you to Elder Yunqi."

Jiang Zhiyun was stunned and asked in confusion: "Me? Marry Elder Yunqi?"

"To be precise, she will be his concubine like Jiang Qingzi." Jiang Yucheng said slowly.

"No, no, this won't work." Jiang Zhiyun objected immediately, with a blush on her face, "Grandpa, this is too much."

"Why are you messing around?" Jiang Yucheng asked back, "He is a foundation-building master, and also a guest elder of the Tieyun Sect, a third-level craftsman. Your sister Qingzi has been promised to him, and she is also a concubine. Now she is preparing to build her foundation. Do you think being a concubine is unfair to you?"

There is definitely some grievance.

As a young girl, she has been treated preferentially since childhood.

Jiang Zhiyun inevitably has some fantasies about love.

But when the words came to my lips, I couldn't say them.

Yes, given the other party’s status, how many people are willing to be her concubine? Am I really wronged?
"But, but my Jiang family already has many women as concubines, Chu Yao, Chu Lin, and Qing Zi." Jiang Zhiyun counted on her fingers, "If I marry another one, I'm afraid it will cause criticism."

Jiang Yucheng chuckled: "Oh, what criticism can there be? I'm afraid there are many people who envy me behind my back."

"You may not know that there are countless families who have tried to marry their daughters to Elder Yunqi, but Elder Yunqi lives a secluded life, so they don't have time to get close to him."

Jiang Yucheng looked at Jiang Zhiyun and said quietly, "Grandpa is old, and I just want to find a way out for you. If you stay in the Jiang family, I'm afraid you won't be able to build your foundation, so it doesn't matter if I sacrifice my old face."

"I have already talked to Elder Yunqi about this matter. Now it's up to you."

Jiang Zhiyun had experienced too many things today. Her little head was in a mess. She didn't know what expression to use to face it: "What? Grandpa, have you told Elder Yunqi about this? I...then...then what did he say?"

"He didn't refuse, but just said that you still need to agree to this matter."

"Grandpa, can I go back and think about it?" Jiang Zhiyun was confused and didn't know what to reply.

"Okay, then you go first. Grandpa doesn't have much time left, you have to hurry." Jiang Yucheng said in a deep voice.

Jiang Zhiyun walked out of the core area of ​​the family in a daze. As he was walking on the road, he saw other members of the Jiang family running towards the martial arts field.

"What's wrong?" Jiang Zhiyun asked.

"Elder Yunqi and Zhiping are sparring in the martial arts arena, let's go take a look!"

"Yes, both of them are real people who have entered the stage of foundation building. This kind of scene is rare to see!"

"Zhiyun, are you going too?"

Jiang Zhiyun wanted to go back when the Jiang family members invited her, but then she remembered that Elder Yunqi was there, so she nodded after some hesitation.

"Okay, I'll go with you."

Jiang Zhiyun and the Jiang family members came to the martial arts arena and saw two people on the field, Ye Yunqi and Jiang Zhiping.

Ye Yunqi was wearing a black Taoist robe with a white jade seal hanging around his waist.

His long hair fell behind him, moving without wind, making him look quite handsome.

Jiang Zhiping was wearing a patched-up suit of Jiang family clothing, which was quite simple.

Jiang Zhiyun listened to the conversation of the Jiang family members around her.

"That's Elder Yunqi? He's so handsome!" said a woman.

A boy said dissatisfiedly: "Him? Humph, outsiders say he is very lustful and has countless wives and concubines at home."

"Tsk, you're just jealous." The woman retorted unhappily, and then she shouted, "Elder Yunqi, come on!"

The boy next to him said dissatisfiedly: "Hey, why are you cheering for him? Shouldn't you cheer for our Jiang Zhiping?"

The woman said, "What do you mean by our Jiang Zhiping? Elder Yunqi is also an elder of our Jiang family. What did our Elder Yunqi do to you?"

The man stopped arguing and just shouted, "Brother Zhiping, come on!"

Ye Yunqi and Jiang Zhiping looked at each other and both smiled.

As a Foundation Establishment Master, he could hear some of the noises in the audience stands.

However, Ye Yunqi and Jiang Zhiping have a good relationship, so they will naturally not be affected by these gossips.

Ye Yunqi said: "Zhi Ping, shall we begin?"

Zhi Ping bowed and said, "Please teach me, Elder Yunqi!"

"I don't deserve your advice. I rarely fight with others, and maybe I'm not as good as you." Ye Yunqi said modestly.

After all, this was not a fight, and Ye Yunqi raised his hand but didn't know how to start.

The first move he made was a killing move, thunder magic, or Xuanyuan sword?

He simply stood with his hands behind his back and said, "Zhiping, you come over first."

Zhiping nodded. The hesitation in Ye Yunqi's body, showing that he had been fighting for a long time, was obvious.

But this hesitation made him feel like he was facing a formidable enemy.

He could see that the other party's hesitation was a hesitation to take action.

"Then here I come, the Mountain-Splitting Fist!" Jiang Zhiping threw a punch with great force and heft.

But the punches were sparse and the speed was average.

Ye Yunqi flashed past as light as a moving cloud, and touched Jiang Zhiping's joints with his fingers, but did not use any force.

Jiang Zhiping was a little surprised. If he used all his strength, he would inevitably get hurt.

"Elder Yunqi has great skills, Zhiping admires him."
