…
The arrival of the Bai family monks means the official start of the entire celebration.
Sure enough, not long after Wang Mingzhe left with the Bai family monks, several figures appeared in the sky far away from the Wang family's mountain gate.
"Hahaha, Ye Yisheng of Liuyun Island and his descendants would like to congratulate the Wang family on their founding foundation!"
"Hahaha, Song Huiyong of Blackstone Island is here to congratulate fellow Taoist Mingxuan on his foundation building. It's so gratifying to have another monk of our generation join us! Hahaha!"
"Hahaha, Wang Shuchun of Eyu Island..."
"..."
"Hahaha, welcome, fellow Taoists, your arrival really makes our tribe shine!"
A series of shouts and congratulations sounded outside the mountain gate one after another.
Regardless of whether the visitor is based on foundation building or Qi training, Wang Xiujie treats them all equally and greets them with a smile. In his words, there are no seniors today, only fellow Taoists.
This move undoubtedly made all the monks who arrived in the Qi training period have a great impression of the Wang family. Privately, they all lamented that the Wang family was a polite and virtuous corporal and did not put on any airs of a wealthy family.
Although there is nothing obvious about these for the time being, the Wang family is, after all, a family force that has settled in this sea area, not a lonely person with no fixed abode.
These reviews undoubtedly have a subtle influence on the senses of nearby monks.
…
The venue for the celebration this time was one of the courtyards where Wang Lixing and others held a meeting last time, a square covering an area of nearly ten acres in front of the main hall.
At this time, both sides of the square were symmetrically filled with exquisite seats and tea sets. In the middle of the square, a ring shrouded in formations was set up.
"Clan Leader Bai, I still need to rush back, so I will guide you here. Other clan members will pick you up shortly. Please bear with me."
In front of the square, Wang Mingzhe, who had just arrived with everyone from the Bai family, bowed his hands to Bai Qiuming and said in a neither humble nor condescending manner.
Upon hearing this, Bai Qiuming quickly returned the favor, then smiled nonchalantly and said:
"Okay, okay, fellow Taoist, just go and get busy if you have something to do. I have to thank you for your introduction along the way."
"Clan Chief Bai is serious. This is what I should do." After saying this, he said a few words to the tribesmen who came to greet him. After Wang Mingzhe bowed his hands to Bai and his party, he immediately turned and left.
…
In this way, as the time approached little by little, the seats in the square were slowly filled with monks who came to congratulate him.
However, those sitting in the square were all in the Qi-training stage, and the monks in the foundation-building stage were placed alone in the main hall behind the square by Wang.
This arrangement does not mean that the Wang family is different, but the rules of the world of immortality are like this. If you arrange the foundation-building monks and the qi-training monks together, let's not talk about what will happen to the foundation-building monks.
A qi-training monk alone would feel uncomfortable. After all, the difference in realm between monks could be ignored by Wang, but others would not think so.
…
When most of the seats in the arena were filled, a roll call began.
"In order to congratulate fellow Taoist Mingxuan on establishing the foundation, Mr. Bai specially presents a piece of black phosphorus stone, a second-grade low-grade spiritual material!"
Hearing the congratulatory gift from the Bai family, everyone present secretly sighed at his generosity. As a family in the Qi training stage, second-level spiritual materials are rare for them. However, when they thought of the relationship between the Bai family and the Wang family, everyone felt relieved. .
"The Ye clan of Liuyun Island... specially sends two first-class elixirs!"
"Eyu Island..., I will give you a piece of cold iron stone, a first-class high-grade spiritual material!"
"..."
In the following Qi training period, the congratulatory gifts given by forces or monks are basically first-grade high-grade spiritual materials or elixirs and other valuable items, which are not bad for the Qi training period.
After the roll call in the Qi training period, it’s time to build the foundation.
"Senior Song of Blackstone Island..., I would like to give you three second-level low-grade True Yuan Pills as a special gift." True Yuan Pills are common elixirs for improving mana in the early stages of foundation building, so it is just right to send them.
"..."
After a while, after talking about the foundation-building casual cultivators, the last three foundation-building families were left.
"The Shen family of Baxia Island would like to congratulate fellow Taoist Mingxuan on his foundation creation. We will give you a second-level low-grade elixir and three True Yuan Pills as a special gift!"
"The Huang family of Chixia Island would like to congratulate Taoist friend Mingxuan on the foundation building. We will give you ten pieces of medium-grade spiritual stones and three pieces of True Essence Pills as a special gift."
"The Han family of Liuyun Island would like to congratulate fellow Taoist Mingxuan on his foundation creation. We will give you ten pieces of middle-grade spiritual stones and a second-grade low-grade talisman as a special gift!"
…
After listening, there was a burst of discussion.
"As expected of the three major foundation-building families, what a generous act!"
"Yes, the value of these gifts from each family can match the price of a spiritual weapon!"
"..."
At this time, Wang Lixing, who was in the last hall behind the square, personally entertaining the three patriarchs of the foundation-building families. When he heard the roll call, he immediately looked at the patriarchs of the three foundation-building families and said with a relaxed tone:
"You guys are really thoughtful in sending such a big gift. If you just give it away, why don't you just give it a spiritual weapon? This whole thing is just fake."
After hearing Wang Lixing's words, an old man with a rather unkind appearance sitting at the front seat on the left couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, and suddenly shouted in a hot tone:
"Old Wang, I haven't seen you for more than ten years. I don't know whether your strength has improved or not, but I think you are getting thicker and thicker, huh!"
The speaker is Han Daoran, the current patriarch of the Han family!
"Hey, who says it isn't?"
Hearing this, an old man with an upright face echoed in a strange manner, and this man was the current patriarch of the Huang family, Huang Zhongliang.
As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Huanming on the other side smiled and said:
"Hahaha, these fellow Taoists are all old friends. It doesn't have to be like this. Come on, come on. I've been hungry for Wang's unique spiritual tea for a long time." After saying that, he didn't care about other people and picked up the spiritual tea on his own. The tea was tasted.
Facing everyone's reaction, Wang Lixing watched with interest, tapped his finger on the chair beside him, and chuckled:
"Haha, I am thick-skinned but not as thick-hearted as Brother Daoran. Otherwise, I wouldn't have told our old friends about such a joyous event as breaking through and completing foundation building."
After saying this, Wang Lixing ignored Han Daoran's expression, turned to the other two people and said:
"There are two fellow Taoists as well. It's such a big happy event to break through to the late stage of foundation building. We should talk about it. After all, we are all old friends for nearly two hundred years."
"By hiding it like this, are you planning to give me a surprise?"
Hearing this, Han Daoran glanced at Wang Lixing solemnly, and then looked at the two people opposite him, with neither sadness nor joy on his face.
As for Shen Huanming and Huang Zhongliang, apart from a slight change in their expressions at first, they now looked as if nothing had happened, as if Wang Lixing was not talking about them.
"Okay, okay," Wang Lixing waved his hand, then put away the smile on his face, looked at a few people and said seriously:
"I don't mean anything else by saying this, but I have something I need to discuss with you all."
Looking at the distrustful looks of several people, Wang Lixing didn't care and continued:
"I believe that all fellow Taoists have heard about the recent uproar."
"I would like to invite you all to explore the ruins of Master Yunshan!"
Hearing this, Han Daoran suddenly showed a disapproving expression and said angrily:
"I thought what you were talking about was just a rumor. It has been a few months and no one has found the ruins. Furthermore, even if there are real ruins, they may not be able to contain anything good. But I am right I’ve seen this kind of thing a lot!”
Hearing this, Wang Lixing did not explain anything, but looked at Shen Huanming.
"Won't you tell me, Fellow Daoist Shen?"
Hearing this, Shen Huanming took a deep look at Wang Lixing and then said:
"This is true, and there is a high chance that there will be a golden elixir in the Yunshan Master's cave!"
"What!"
"Golden elixir!"
