Chapter 110: Chapter 19: Living Alone on Xiaogang Peak

“Patriarch Yang, visiting so late at night, what brings you here?” Li Jizhou said with a smile.

Yang Yuyan was dressed in red at this moment, brilliantly beautiful, more majestic and voluptuous than ten years ago, likely aided by the Youthful Appearance Pill, as ten years had left barely any trace on her.

The only noticeable change was a slight aura of authority that occasionally emanated from her as the head of her family.

However, this hint of authority gradually dissipated as she approached Li Jizhou step by step. In the end, the cold and severe patriarch admired by her clan transformed back into the diligent pill disciple eager for true teachings she was a decade ago.

Despite Li Jizhou’s idle chatter, Yang Yuyan remained silent.

Seeing Li Jizhou was the same as he was ten years ago, neither proactive nor rejecting, she seamlessly returned to the relationship they had ten years ago, with no awkwardness or barriers.

It felt as if ten years ago was just yesterday…

“Yuyan’s mind is unsettled again; I ask Pill Master Li for punishment…”

This feeling was comforting to Li Jizhou,

There was no feigned shyness, no teasing rejections, just sincerity and openness without any pretense.

Revisiting familiar grounds, moving smoothly…

——-

At midday the next day,

The patriarchs of the Zhao family and Qian family arrived bearing generous gifts.

While the Yang family was jubilant, they waited indefinitely for the patriarch.

While others were unaware of Yang Yuyan’s whereabouts,

Former patriarch Yang Xiaofu’s expression was complex as he glanced towards the ancestral home and shook his head helplessly.

It wasn’t until the family’s old ancestor visited the ancestral home and softly called for Yang Yuyan.

Yang Yuyan reluctantly rose from Li Jizhou’s side.

She knew he would leave.

She knew she couldn’t keep him, or perhaps she might never see him again in the future.

So she only hoped to make him happy when he arrived and let him leave without worries.

——–

That night, Li Jizhou entirely confirmed the current situation within the Yang family to ensure the Foundation Establishment Pill would not cause unnecessary trouble.

Thus, in front of the Yang family’s old ancestor and Yang Yuyan, he took out the Middle Grade Foundation Establishment Pill.

This excited the two pillars of the Yang family beyond measure.

Unsurprisingly, the pill was undoubtedly meant for Yang Yuyan,

Even considering Yang Yuyan’s current prestige and assertive position within the clan, there was no need to hold clan meetings for discussion.

Currently, only Yang Yuyan had achieved the most complete Qi Cultivation realm, and only she advancing to Foundation Establishment would maximize the clan’s benefits.

Once she advances to Foundation Establishment, she has the potential to become a Tier Two Pill Master.

A family with a Tier Two Pill Master has limitless future potential.

“Elder Li has bestowed such a great favor upon the Yang family, how should we repay?” The family’s old ancestor exclaimed, bowing deeply to Li Jizhou.

Li Jizhou glanced at Yang Yuyan and calmly said, “Six thousand Spirit Stones will suffice!”

“No, the Yang family has already benefited greatly from you, how could we not repay? Yuyan, quickly gather Spirit Stones from the clan’s treasury, take as many as there are.” The family’s old ancestor decisively instructed.

An old fox,

Li Jizhou’s status and position are like a savior for the Yang family.

If they can maintain the connection with Li Jizhou’s network, as long as the Golden Sun Sect stands, the Yang family has endless possibilities.

Today’s visit from the Zhao family and Qian family, resolving past grievances, proved to be the best example.

As for the wealth accumulated within the clan, most of it was prepared for Yang Yuyan’s Foundation Establishment. Normally, the Yang family would have only two ways to obtain a Foundation Establishment Pill.

Firstly, through an auction, but a Middle Grade Foundation Establishment Pill at an auction, especially by a power like Miaodan Tower, would require at least five thousand Spirit Stones. Furthermore, securing it post-auction remains uncertain.

In such a case, one would have to spend another two thousand Spirit Stones to rent a Foundation Establishment residence in the market, thereby increasing costs significantly, and privacy is almost non-existent.

Now, with this Foundation Establishment Pill, Foundation Establishment can be done secretly at the ancestral home, allowing for more time in hiding.

Secondly, seeking a Pill Master in Immortal City for crafting, but this cost is exorbitantly high. Materials alone are at least three thousand Spirit Stones, and commissioning a Pill Master for crafting costs at least a thousand. The problem is, success is not guaranteed, and perhaps spending four thousand Spirit Stones might end up wasted.

“Fellow Yang, there’s no need for such actions; six thousand are what Li requires!” Li Jizhou interjected.

“However, Li has one condition: it must be consumed immediately!”

After all, with Miaodan Tower’s Dharma Pattern, not witnessing its complete disappearance would always retain some uncontrollable elements.

This also necessitated the need to sell the Foundation Establishment Pill to the Yang family; people not familiar with him would never allow an outsider to watch during Foundation Establishment.

Li Jizhou’s words were intended to eliminate uncontrollable troubles for himself, but in the ears of the other two, the meaning was entirely different.

Yang Yuyan’s beautiful eyes brimmed with a thin mist in an instant, feeling a slight tug at her heart, and a nose twitch despite being in her forties.

The family’s old ancestor stood stunned, mouth agape.

Specifically delivering the Foundation Establishment Pill and offering protection during Establishment characterized a truly extraordinary bond!

His gaze alternated between Li Jizhou and Yang Yuyan, his face revealing an expression of joy.

It’s foreseeable that in the distant future, a love story involving a distinguished lady ancestor from the Yang family might generate an explosive stir, similar to rumors of his past lewdness.

Everything subsequently proceeded smoothly.

Yang Yuyan recuperated for half a month, then quietly undertook Foundation Establishment at the ancestral home.

During this time, three Tier One Advanced Level Spirit Gathering Talismans were also purchased from Li Jizhou, channeling nearly all the Spirit Qi from the Yang family’s Spirit Vein into one spot.

Li Jizhou secretly released Black Xuan to activate its illusion talent, masking the transfer of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi within the ancestral home.

Given Yang Yuyan’s Middle Grade Spirit Root and the Middle Grade Foundation Establishment Pill,

Most especially, with Li Jizhou beside her, Yang Yuyan’s mind remained composed without pressure and advanced smoothly!

Half a month later, Yang Yuyan stabilized her realm and emerged from seclusion, engaging with Li Jizhou in a three-day discussion of Dao overnight.

Ultimately, with no burden given to Li Jizhou, she watched him depart on a morning.

——–

A month later, after cashing in and realizing pills, Li Jizhou returned to Immortal City, first treating Hua Tianyang once more, then employing Immortal City to buy materials for crafting Tier Two Youthful Appearance Pills, as well as some Spirit Medicine and Spirit Plant seeds.

Subsequently, he flew to the Golden Sun Sect’s Outer Peak, which would belong solely to him for a considerable duration!

The Outer Peak is situated five hundred miles from the Golden Sun Sect’s Main Peak, typically with little traffic.

And those residing there are mostly the older elders of the Golden Sun Sect, with limited longevity, paths ended, indifferent to all, generally bland in temperament.

Steward Chen mentioned it vaguely to him before.

The five peaks were staggered in perfect arrangement, each separated by dozens of miles, with Li Jizhou’s peak at the southernmost.

Due to its steep terrain among the five outer peaks, with sheer cliffs impossible to climb without flight,

Therefore, it is named Xiaogang Peak, derived from the notion of standing tall and unmoved by desires.

Li Jizhou circled Xiaogang Peak in flight, and it truly lived up to its name, becoming all the more satisfactory.

Then he took out the array’s key to enter.

The interior setup was complete, although the mountain appeared small from afar, its actual area was wider than the residences in Immortal City’s Upper City District.

And the view was expansive, with vistas stretching like an elegant prospect.

The key point is, this place is an extension of the Golden Sun Sect’s main vein, with a Quasi-Third Tier Spirit Vein surpassing the Upper City District’s residence in Immortal City.

Encased and covering the entire mountain with the Restriction Array, Li Jizhou examined the entire peak meticulously.

Ensuring there were no anomalies before beginning the setup.

Now, a Tier One closely approaching the advanced level in array expertise could barely arrange several protective layers for himself.

Adding a plethora of talismans, creating a sense of peace.

Until half a month later, after completing everything, Li Jizhou released Bai Yi and Black Xuan, beginning his genuine solitary life!
