Tianhai.
In an antique luxurious house.
At this time, Si Zhenhai, the head of the Si family, the three top aristocratic families in Tianhai, was sitting at the top of the hall, with several old men sitting on both sides of him.
"Let's talk about it. What do you think about the Chen family and the Ji family?"
Si Zhenhai glanced at the old men and spoke slowly.
Hearing this, the old men looked at each other, and one of them said: "If the news is true, then our Si family must carefully consider how to treat the Ji family."
"After all, when the Ji family was forced out of Tianhai, although it had nothing to do with our Si family, our Si family still embezzled a lot of the Ji family's property."
"This time the Chen family was singled out by Ji Xun, and even the strongest members of the Chen family, including the old man Chen Hesheng, were forced to destroy their Dantian and withdraw from Tianhai with their entire family, handing over the entire Dingsheng Group."
"If the Ji family wants to pursue our Si family's misappropriation of their property back then, we can't resist it..."
Another old man echoed: "Yes, who would have thought that Ji Xun is still alive! And he has even stepped into the half-step of the golden elixir realm!"
"Although he has not truly broken through the ultimate martial art and achieved the legendary Golden Elixir Avenue, it is already unimaginable!"
"Then the Chen family is no less powerful than our Si family, but the Chen family is completely vulnerable to Ji Xun!"
"In my opinion, our Si family had better take the initiative and calculate how to return the property that was embezzled to the Ji family back then."
At this time, another old man said: "That's what I mean. In the final analysis, our Si family has no grudge against the Ji family, and regardless of whether the Ji family will pursue the matter of our Si family's misappropriation of their property, just The Ji family has returned to Tianhai so strongly, so we have to show something."
"Otherwise, if the Ji family wants to recover those properties, and they really come to visit us, the scene will not be pretty, and it will also damage the face of our family."
"It's better for us to take the initiative on our own and gain a good reputation and friendship..."
Seeing several old men saying this, Si Zhenhai also nodded slightly and said, "Okay, later I will ask someone to roughly calculate how much the Ji family's property that our Si family occupied back then is worth today."
"When the time comes, add some more and return it to the Ji family!"
"Now that the Ji family is powerful, Ji Xun is already half a step into the Golden Core Realm. Even if he is at the peak of the ninth level of the Yuangang Realm, in front of him, he is like a chicken or a dog."
"There is really no need for our Si family to have a grudge for this benefit. It would be better to be free and easy-going, so as to leave a good impression and even renew some friendship."
After a pause, Si Zhenhai added: "Moreover, there must be something secret in Ji Xun's ability to advance half a step to the peak of the ninth level of the Yuangang Realm."
"Perhaps you can also try to probe his voice and see if you can get some information from him."
Hearing this, an old man couldn't help but nodded and said: "Indeed. Throughout the ages, I don't know how many people have been trapped at the ninth level of Yuangang Realm, but I have never heard of anyone who has ever taken this half step."
"But Ji Xun did it. There must be a big secret..."
…
the other side.
The Wei family, the last of the three top families in Tianhai, is also discussing this matter at this time.
"Master, in my opinion, there is no need for us to pay attention to the Ji family. If the Ji family returns to Tianhai, then it will return to Tianhai. What does it have to do with my Wei family?"
An old man from the Wei family spoke calmly.
"That's right! It wasn't my Wei family who drove them out of Tianhai in the first place. As for our Wei family, we also occupied a lot of their Ji family's property... There's nothing to say about this. It's just that my Wei family didn't take it. The property will only be taken over by the Chen family and the Si family. Now that decades have passed, it is impossible for us to spit it out again!"
Another old man hummed.
"That's the truth! Besides, the Ji family themselves didn't come to raise this issue, so we just pretended to be deaf and dumb."
"If the Ji family really wants to come and raise this matter... there is nothing to be afraid of. Our Wei family is not the Chen family. If Ji Xun dares to come to my Wei family and act wild, haha, we will tell him that he will never come back!"
The person who spoke slightly narrowed his eyes and sneered.
Listening to the words of several elders in the clan, Wei Hengyu, the head of the Wei family, couldn't help but nodded slightly, "So be it. Our Wei family really has nothing to fear from the Ji family."
"Although that old guy Ji Xun hid deep enough and pretended to be dead for decades, he secretly broke through to the realm of half-step golden elixir, but my Wei family has already established a relationship with the Immortal, especially Rui'er has worshiped the Immortal Under the door."
"As long as we inform Rui'er and invite the Immortal to come, Ji Xun can only take half a step towards the golden elixir. In front of the Immortal, it is not worth mentioning at all!"
"By then, if he doesn't know what to do, we will ask the immortal to cripple his cultivation, or even destroy him directly. Let's see how rampant the Ji family can be!"
Wei Hengyu had a sinister look on his face, an arrogant attitude, and a bit of disdain in his expression. Obviously, he did not take Ji Xun, who had even half a step of Jindan cultivation, in his eyes.
…
Naturally, Ji Cen, who was far away in Jiangzhou, and Ji Xun, who was currently in seclusion to stabilize his cultivation, were not aware of the completely different decisions of the Tianhai Si family and the Wei family.
At this time, Ji Cen was teaching Ning Qingxue how to practice.
Needless to say, Ning Qingxue's aptitude and understanding were actually quite good. Even though she had never been exposed to spiritual practice before, she understood it very quickly after Ji Cen's explanation.
And Ji Cen also specially selected a cultivation technique for her that was very suitable for her physique, called 'Tianyan Xuanyin Treasure Record'!
In addition, Ji Cen personally washed her veins and cut her marrow. In just a few days, she was able to successfully induce the spiritual energy from the outside world to enter her body.
Because Ning Qingxue had not really started yet, Ji Cen was naturally not in a hurry and directly asked her to use spirit stones to assist her cultivation.
After she really gets started and has a solid foundation, it will not be too late to give her spiritual stones to practice.
Ning Qingxue, who experienced cultivation for the first time and felt the true energy flowing in her body, opened her eyes and looked at Ji Cen beside her with joy, "Ji Cen, is this cultivation? This feeling... is so wonderful. Ah! I can clearly feel a breath flowing through the meridians of my body..."
Hearing this, Ji Cen smiled slightly and said: "Although practice is boring, every time you make a small breakthrough, you will have a sense of accomplishment and satisfaction."
"Of course, the improvement in strength is also real!"
After a pause, Ji Cen continued: "Your qualifications are not bad. If you can calm down and practice hard, your future achievements may not be that low."
Ning Qingxue nodded vigorously, "Yes! I will work hard to practice well!"
Her tone and expression were extremely serious and firm.
It's not all about the desire and expectation for practice and power, but also some of her own inner thoughts.
After learning what kind of existence Ji Cen was, she herself thought a lot these days. She understood that if she could not achieve success in her spiritual practice, the relationship between her and Ji Cen would be like two worlds separated by a natural chasm.
Especially these days, Ji Cen also mentioned that if one reaches his level of cultivation, even if he cannot become an immortal in the end, he can still live for thousands of years.
And if I were just an ordinary person, then my life span would be a mere hundred years at best...
Therefore, Ning Qingxue has her own expectations and desires for cultivation, which makes her very determined to continue on this path.
While Ning Qingxue was talking to Ji Cen, her cell phone suddenly rang...
