Longevity through Upgrading Buildings

Chapter 234: Chapter 150: Apprentice to the Golden Core

This is news from the Sect Protection Array.

The Foundation Establishment Island Master guarding that side discovered, through the Sect Protection Array, that a disciple of the sect has successfully achieved Foundation Establishment!

The Water Dragon Sect now has one more Foundation Establishment cultivator, and such events must be made known to Master Xuan Shui as the Sect Leader. Additionally, every newly promoted Foundation Establishment cultivator must have a private audience with him.

This was originally an incredibly routine occurrence.

The Water Dragon Sect has hundreds of Foundation Establishment cultivators, and there are usually a few new ones each year.

But today’s news, however, was somewhat unusual.

Because Master Xuan Shui discovered that the disciple who achieved Foundation Establishment within the sect was actually named… Ji Yuan!

Same name, same surname?

Master Xuan Shui doesn’t believe in such coincidences. This Ji Yuan must indeed be the disciple who refused to go to the Nine Nether Cave Heaven last year.

If that’s the case, then it makes him seem somewhat ridiculous.

At that time, Master Xuan Shui was thinking, “If you don’t go to the Nine Nether Cave Heaven, how will you manage Foundation Establishment with your pseudo spirit root?”

Had he made up his mind to remain at the Qi Cultivation Stage for his whole life?

But seeing it now, he probably was confident in achieving Foundation Establishment then, which is why he didn’t want to go to the Nine Nether Cave Heaven.

He suddenly disappeared back then, perhaps just to find a place to go into seclusion for Foundation Establishment.

Right, the news mentioned that he achieved Foundation Establishment in the Alchemy Room on Four Directions Island?

In that case, why wasn’t it detected back then, seems like some rules need to be reiterated.

But regardless, having another Foundation Establishment in the sect is a good thing!

It seems like he’s around twenty, achieving Foundation Establishment with a pseudo spirit root… it’s likely that another Foundation Establishment prodigy will emerge within the sect, though it’s a pity that achieving Foundation Establishment with a pseudo spirit root is already a rarity.

Pseudo spirit root forming a Golden Core, that’s even more one in ten thousand.

Oh well, I happen to be free of urgent matters now, and sooner or later I’ll have to meet him, I might as well go see what kind of person this Ji Yuan is today.

Li Changhe, who returned to the sect a few months ago, also heard of Ji Yuan’s successful Foundation Establishment.

He was cultivating when he suddenly received a message from his second uncle.

It mentioned that the disciple who used the Li family connection to go into seclusion on Four Directions Island, had succeeded in Foundation Establishment.

Before departing, Li Changhe had instructed his second uncle to pay extra attention, and surely, his second uncle had told people on Four Directions Island to report any abnormalities.

Now, it appears that there was indeed something unusual.

But it’s a good thing, achieving Foundation Establishment… this is not just any good news.

So Li Changhe decided to personally congratulate his benefactor and friend, after all, once Foundation Establishment is achieved, we can truly call each other Daoists when we meet.

Just perfect, I’ll copy a portion of the cultivation experience from the “Sword Manual” as a gift for him.

It will serve as a congratulatory gift for his successful Foundation Establishment. Oh, and prepare another Talisman Treasure. With his personality, the ’Sky-Fleeing Shuttle’ would certainly suit him.

After contemplating, Li Changhe vanished.

He first went to the Li family treasury, then went to see Li Gang, and after informing him of this matter, he navigated the Flying Boat directly towards Four Directions Island.

And Li Gang did not forget to remind Li Changhe to bring Ji Yuan to visit the Li family.

Previously, I heard this Ji Yuan was merely in Qi Cultivation, even if he saved Li Changhe, it was just a stroke of luck. The gifts given before should have sufficed.

Perhaps add a bit more, it would be of no harm to the Li family.

But now that he’s achieved Foundation Establishment, that changes everything.

For the Li family, a Foundation Establishment cultivator holds recruitable value.

Moreover, from what Li Changhe says, this Ji Yuan seems to be very young, making him even more valuable to recruit.

…

Ji Yuan exited the Alchemy Room, followed the earth vein corridor and returned to the surface, reached the duty station, and returned the proof of rental for the Alchemy Room.

The disciple on duty had already noticed, so he hurriedly stood up, extended both hands to accept it, and loudly exclaimed:

“Congratulations, Martial Uncle, on your successful Foundation Establishment. Best wishes for your eternal path in immortality!”

His voice resounded clearly, and the nearby disciples on duty immediately reacted, each rising up and bowing towards Ji Yuan, chanting.

“Congratulations, Martial Uncle, on your successful Foundation Establishment. Best wishes for your eternal path in immortality!”

The unified voice echoed within the room.

“Alright, alright, alright.”

The abundance of emotional value given made Ji Yuan feel it wouldn’t be polite not to respond.

And this was regarded as an old tradition as well, successfully achieving Foundation Establishment was indeed a joyous event, the other party congratulating and the one succeeding in Foundation Establishment returning small gifts, considered as sharing the good fortune.

Ji Yuan counted, there were a total of eight people present.

He instinctively thought of giving each one a mid-grade Spirit Stone, but he suddenly realized.

Damn, just achieved Foundation Establishment and already forgetting my roots, what kind of standard is it, giving out mid-grade Spirit Stones as gifts… so Ji Yuan ended up giving each one a bottle of first-grade Spirit Gathering Pills.

Each bottle contained three pills.

These were made by him when he was practicing alchemy, and now his cultivation has broken through to the Foundation Establishment Stage, so these first-grade Spirit Gathering Pills hold little use.

After giving the gifts, these dutiful disciples congratulated once more.

But before Ji Yuan could leave, he noticed these disciples were bowing towards his back, and compared to their previous casualness and joy, there was now a hint of trepidation on their faces.

Ji Yuan dared not use his Divine Sense to probe the person.

Generally, using Divine Sense directly to scan someone isn’t much different from provoking a confrontation.

So he quickly turned around to look.

With one glance, he recognized the person behind him; it was the one he had seen in the portrait, the Sect Leader of Water Dragon Sect… Master Xuan Shui!

Why is he here?!

Oh no, could it really be that he’s here to make things difficult for me?
