Chapter 207: The matter of forming a pill
Chapter 207: The matter of forming a pill
Man proposes, God disposes, and it is difficult to force things in the world.
Perhaps Jiang Yucheng had already been mentally prepared for Jiang Zhiyun's failure to build his foundation.
The life span after building the foundation is 200 years. Although Jiang Yucheng worked hard all his life and was injured and shortened his life when he was old, these more than one hundred years of life also gave him a mentality of taking life lightly and going with the flow.
It was only because he considered that this was his closest granddaughter and that she was gifted that he arranged for her to marry off before he died.
According to Jiang Yucheng's calculations, this move was only aimed at building the foundation.
But where will fate lead? How can Jiang Yucheng predict it?
At this time, Ye Yunqi felt that Jiang Qingzi's words made sense.
Just as the person who owes money lives a carefree life, the person who borrows money worries day and night about whether the other party will repay the loan.
The matter of the jade pendant was just a trivial matter in Ye Yunqi's view and it could be delayed for a while.
But if it happens to the Jiang family, it will be a big deal.
A major event concerning family inheritance.
Ye Yunqi nodded: "In that case, give me the jade pendant, and I will find a chance to go to the Jiang family and return the jade pendant to them."
Jiang Qingzi nodded, handed the jade pendant to Ye Yunqi, and looked at it reluctantly.
Although, this jade pendant is a heirloom of the Jiang family.
But after all, it has been passed into Jiang Qingzi's hands for a long time. She has worn it since she was a child and has developed an attachment to it.
Jiang Qingzi sighed and forced his eyes away from the jade pendant.
Ye Yunqi naturally saw Jiang Qingzi's reluctance to part with her, and said half teasingly and half seriously: "I'm used to seeing you wearing the jade pendant, but now that you've taken it off, I feel like my neck is empty. I'll go see if there's a suitable jade pendant in a few days and buy you one."
Jiang Qingzi was somewhat tempted, but also a little hesitant: "It's not good for me to have it alone."
Ye Yunqi smiled even more: "You look like a lady now. Okay, I'll pick out some jewelry for everyone. However, people who can't embark on the path of immortality can't activate magic tools. It's not a long-term solution to always mix them up and treat them equally. You should discuss the ranking of each other. Although we are temporarily living in the Sanqing Sect, we have our own spiritual land as a foundation. The establishment of the Ye family can be put on the agenda, and the family rules and regulations can also be explored and settled."
"Really?" Jiang Qingzi and Jiang Zhiyun were a little surprised.
"Of course." Ye Yunqi briefly explained the matter of the Qingling Lake spiritual land, but vaguely mentioned the dangers in the process, and smiled, "So the Sanqing Sect sympathized with my achievements and gave me Qingling Lake, and exempted me from taxes for nearly 20 years."
When people are under the rule of the Sanqing Sect, they naturally have to pay taxes.
For an ordinary family like the Jiang family, it is also a considerable burden.
But it is only with the justice administered by the Sanqing Sect that these weak families can enjoy peace.
This is a burden that countless people dream of shouldering.
"That's great. Twenty years later, our children will be able to grow up. Then, the Ye family will be a real family." Jiang Qingzi was a little yearning. In the current Ye family, there is only one person with the surname Ye among the adults. There are three cultivators. Although their quality is not low and all three are foundation-building cultivators, it is still the same: there is only one person with the surname Ye.
When outsiders see it, they don’t know whether it is the Ye family or the Jiang family!
Jiang Zhiyun had drooped eyelids and was staring at the ground in a daze, as if thinking about something.
As if she had made a decision, Jiang Zhiyun raised her head and was about to say something.
Suddenly, a voice came from outside to report: "Master, the immortal from Sanqing Sect is here to visit."
Upon hearing this, Ye Yunqi said loudly, "Here I come."
Then he stepped out of the quiet room and said before leaving: "You can practice your skills here. If you have a breakthrough or something you don't understand, come and tell me."
After saying that, he left in a hurry.
In the quiet room, only two sisters, Qing Zi and Zhi Yun, were left.
Jiang Qingzi stood up and operated the quiet room formation while saying, "Zhiyun, what did you want to say just now?"
Jiang Zhiyun was stunned and said a little embarrassedly: "Sister Qingzi, did you figure it out?"
"How could I not see that you were hesitant to speak? But the master was busy with work and didn't notice it for a while. What do you think? Would you mind telling me?"
Jiang Zhiyun pursed her lips and whispered, "It's not a big deal, but I told the master before that I would give him a child after the residual effects of the medicine absorbed by the body have calmed down. Unexpectedly, thanks to the master, I got the foundation-building pill and achieved the foundation-building. This matter has been put aside for a while, and I am embarrassed to mention it."
Jiang Qingzi smiled, turned around, held up Jiang Zhiyun's hand and said, "Silly sister, we are all family, why are you embarrassed? Besides, this is not a trivial matter. Giving birth to heirs and inheriting the family, you and I are both from the Jiang family, so I think we all understand that this is a huge matter."
"Since you are too embarrassed to tell the master, I will do it. After the master has dealt with the immortal and handled the things outside, I will put you, little girl, into the master's bed."
Jiang Zhiyun blushed when she heard this, and was so embarrassed that she couldn't speak.
Although she was promised to Ye Yunqi and became Ye Yunqi's woman, Ye Yunqi was busy with his travels during this period and the two of them did not have much contact, and there was still that initial shyness.
On the other side, Ye Yunqi hurried to the door, only to see Elder Liu Zixi standing there waiting.
Ye Yunqi said quickly, "It turns out to be Elder Liu. Please come in quickly. It is my fault for keeping you waiting for so long."
Elder Liu Zixi was easy to talk to. He smiled and said, "No problem, no problem. Young friend Ye has been through a series of hard battles and should be resting. However, the sect has conducted a preliminary investigation into the matter, so I came here to inform you."
The two men walked into the courtyard. The wives, concubines and children who were originally playing in the inner courtyard had already hidden in the backyard.
The courtyard with three entrances and three exits is quite spacious.
Ye Yunqi took out the tea set and brewed a pot of Qingyue tea, and the two of them drank from each other.
Liu Zixi's eyes lit up, and after taking a sip, he said with emotion, "The top-grade Qingyue Tea from Qingyue Sect? The taste is still as clear and cool as the moon. My confidante in Qingyue Sect used to give me some. It's been a long time, but now I get to taste it again from Mr. Ye. I wonder who Mr. Ye's confidante in Qingyue Sect is?"
Before he finished speaking, Liu Zixi shook his head again: "Forget it, forget it, Ye Xiaoyou is also a guest elder of Qingyue Sect, so I don't think you need to rely on beauty to cheat for tea."
Ye Yunqi smiled and said, "If Elder Liu likes it, I have some more here and will give it to Elder Liu."
Liu Zixi waved his hands repeatedly: "Oh, no need, no need. It's a gesture for a beauty to send me off, but what's the meaning of you sending me off?"
Ye Yun thought to himself: This Liu Zixi is indeed a wonderful person, but I don't know what happened to the beauty he mentioned, and why she hasn't been able to drink the top-grade Qingyue tea for a long time.
But seeing Liu Zixi, he didn't seem to want to continue talking, so he changed the subject and said, "The Sanqing Sect also got the result of the interrogation of the Yu family earlier."
"The head of the Yu family, Yu Wangyue, had great ambitions but was as timid as a mouse. He encountered a monster in the wild and was captured alive by the monster tribe. He was so scared that he didn't dare to report it to us. He was also afraid of the prestige of the Sanqing Sect and didn't dare to surrender to the monster tribe. He became a scum at both ends."
"After harboring the demons for a long time, he had already committed a serious crime, so he had no choice but to go down this path to the end, and his contacts with the demons became more and more frequent. In the end, he wanted to use the demons to harm people and seize their land."
“If I hadn’t met Young Master Ye, I’m afraid that my Sanqing Sect would have lost face like the Wanxiang Sect.” Ye Yunqi nodded. This was quite common.
Liu Zixi then took out some confessions and corresponding evidence and explained them in detail.
Ye Yunqi also understood. According to Yu Wangyue's idea, he definitely didn't just want to use the lives of his clan members to avenge himself.
Instead, he went after the other families, using the demon clan to slaughter the surrounding families, and then took the opportunity to cooperate with the demon clan, made meritorious deeds, and used the meritorious deeds and the family property accumulated in the past to take over these ownerless spiritual lands.
And the first target is probably the Jiang family.
One reason is that they have had a feud for a long time and have long had their eyes on the Jiang family.
Secondly, the Jiang family is the easiest to bully.
The reason why he came to me first was because he had made an enemy of me, and I happened to be the most important person in the Jiang family.
Now that I am alone outside, he is thinking of getting rid of me, which also weakens the Jiang family's connections and strength.
And then nothing happened.
After finishing speaking, Liu Zixi continued, "As for the matter of the demon cultivators in the beast tide, it is also related to this matter in many ways. The demon cultivators colluded with the monster tribe, which allowed some monster tribe members to escape from the Monster Mountain Range."
"The man you killed was not the mastermind of this matter, but was just an errand boy. Of course, he has some merits as well."
"In terms of your overall achievements, the Sanqing Sect should reward you with more than just Qingling Lake, so they sent me to ask you what you want."
Ye Yunqi frowned slightly. What do you need?
Logically speaking, my current magic weapons and means of attack are somewhat weak.
But these things can be drawn through lotteries.
For a moment, Ye Yunqi was a little hesitant.
Liu Zixi said slowly: "Young friend Ye, please listen to me. I know that you are extremely talented. You had many strange phenomena when you were building your foundation in the past. If you are interested in the Golden Elixir Road, you can start accumulating the corresponding resources from now on. After all, compared to others, Young friend Ye has no master, and no teacher to take care of him. He can only rely on himself for everything."
Ye Yunqi suddenly realized that although it seemed a bit outrageous to start accumulating resources for the golden elixir at the second level of foundation building, it was exactly what Ye Yunqi wanted.
"Then, I wonder what I can get?" Ye Yunqi asked.
Liu Zixi thought for a moment and said, "I'm afraid there's no chance of getting a golden elixir pill, but I can get a corresponding spiritual material."
"To break through the Golden Core stage, the spiritual materials required are far more than those required to break through the Foundation Establishment stage. The most basic ones require three types of spiritual materials."
"There are five, seven, eight, and even nine kinds above."
"No one would complain about having too many spiritual materials. These spiritual materials are also in short supply. If you encounter an emergency and want to exchange them for other things, it is very easy. You can exchange your merit for this, there is no harm."
Ye Yunqi nodded: "Okay, then I'll trouble Elder Liu. I need the spiritual materials for Danjie."
Liu Zixi agreed: "Well, I will talk to the clan about this matter, and it should be issued soon. Goodbye."
Having said that, Liu Zixi stood up and left.
Before leaving, Liu Zixi suddenly said, "By the way, the evil cultivators of the Demonic Path have not been completely eliminated. If you kill the evil cultivator, I'm afraid that someone will remember you. If you have nothing else to do, don't leave the Sanqing Sect."
Ye Yunqi was about to agree, but suddenly he remembered the jade pendant and hesitated: "I wanted to go to the Jiang family to deliver some things. Besides, I also have a business dealing with the magic water."
Liu Zi said jokingly, "My dear friend Ye, if the mountain is not with me, I will go to the mountain. You can ask others to come to my Sanqing Sect to look for you. Your own safety is the most important thing!"
Ye Yunqi thought about it and realized that this was the truth. He was no longer anxious and nodded: "Elder Liu is right."
After seeing off Elder Liu, Ye Yunqi took out the message talisman. Naturally, the most suitable person to take the jade pendant was a member of the Jiang family.
But Ye Yunqi thought of his former companions who had defected to the righteous path. Except for Meng Jingyang, they were all in Sanqing Sect now. He had mentioned before that everyone should get together, so now it was a good opportunity to call Meng Jingyang over and have a gathering in Sanqing Sect.
So he sent a message to Meng Jingyang.
The prestige of the Jiang family and Meng Jingyang has increased recently.
In the monster hunting team, he was even promoted to deputy captain.
Even though the position of deputy captain is not a big deal, you can still get more when sharing the profits from monster hunting.
Small amounts add up to a considerable amount.
Jiang Li was also a little scared about Meng Jingyang's escape from death.
But now that Meng Jingyang's status has risen, Jiang Li has also felt it. He also feels that fortune and misfortune are interdependent, and if you survive a disaster, there will be good fortune in the future.
In the courtyard, Meng Jingyang performed a set of boxing skills, and Jiang Li handed him a sweat towel considerately: "Master, take a rest."
Meng Jingyang took the towel and wiped the sweat off his face, sighed, then sat down at the table and took a sip of tea.
Meng Jingyang seemed a little unhappy recently, and Jiang Li knew it. However, since the incident, the activities of the monster hunting team had been suspended. It was natural for Meng Jingyang to be unhappy, and Jiang Li didn't take it to heart.
She picked up the half-embroidered children's clothes on the table and continued embroidering.
Meng Jingyang's expression changed and he took out the message talisman.
Ye Yunqi's words came from the communication talisman.
Before building the foundation, the spiritual consciousness has not yet emerged, so the only way the communication talisman can make a sound is to build the foundation. After building the foundation, the spiritual consciousness is nurtured, and then the spiritual consciousness can be connected, and the information in the communication talisman can be known without making a sound.
"Brother Meng, Jiang Qingzi and I have lived in Sanqing Sect for a long time now, but the Jiang family's ancestral jade pendant is still with me. It may be inconvenient for the Jiang family. After discussion, we decided to return the jade pendant to the Jiang family. However, it is inconvenient for me now, so I hope Brother Meng will take the trouble to come and get it. Now that all old friends are here, it's a good time to get together."
Jiang Li naturally also heard what Ye Yunqi said.
There was also a hint of joy on his face.
After all, she was also among those who came to the righteous path in the past, but she was not a cultivator, and the immortals and mortals were separated, so she could not be invited to the reunion.
But when he heard Ye Yunqi's words, he couldn't help but think of the past and the care that Ye Yunqi and Jiang Qingzi had given him.
"Master, is it Immortal Ye and Immortal Qingzi? They are rich now, but they still have a deep friendship with you." Jiang Li said with some envy.
But her words of envy did not sound pleasant to Meng Jingyang's ears.
