Chapter 111: Chapter 19: Living Alone on Xiaogang Peak

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

At this moment, Yang Yuyan was dressed in red, bright and glamorous, more dignified and voluptuous than ten years ago. With the help of the Youthful Appearance Pill, ten years hardly left any marks on her.

The only major change was the faint majesty of a clan leader emanating from her body.

However, this trace of majesty dissipated slowly as she approached Li Jizhou, until finally, in front of him, the high and cold-faced solemn patriarch in the eyes of the clan members became once again the diligent pill apprentice from ten years ago, seeking the true scripture wholeheartedly.

Li Jizhou said a redundant sentence, yet Yang Yuyan did not.

In her heart, everything seemed still like ten years ago.

“Yuyan’s mind is unstable again, asking Pill Master Li for punishment…”

Returning to a familiar place, the path was well-trodden…

——-

The next day at noon,

The patriarchs of the Zhao family and the Qian family visited with lavish gifts.

While the Yang family was rejoicing within, they awaited the patriarch in vain.

Just when no one knew Yang Yuyan’s whereabouts,

Former patriarch Yang Xiaofu looked toward the ancestral residence with a complex expression, shaking his head helplessly.

It wasn’t until the old ancestor of the Yang family personally arrived outside the ancestral residence and called softly for Yang Yuyan.

Yang Yuyan reluctantly rose from Li Jizhou.

She knew he would leave.

She also knew she couldn’t hold him back, or they might never meet again.

So she only hoped that when he arrived, he would enjoy himself freely, and that when he left, he would leave without worries.

——–

That night, Li Jizhou completely verified the current situation within the Yang family, ensuring no unnecessary troubles would arise due to the Middle Grade Foundation Establishment Pill.

Then, in front of the Yang family ancestor and Yang Yuyan, he presented that Middle Grade Foundation Establishment Pill.

This made the two big figures of the Yang family incredibly excited.

There was no doubt, this pill was definitely meant for Yang Yuyan,

In fact, given Yang Yuyan’s current prestige and dominance within the clan, there was no need to convene a clan meeting for discussion.

Presently, Yang Yuyan was the only one within the clan with the most complete Qi Cultivation stage, and only her advancement to Foundation Establishment would maximize the family’s benefit.

Once she advanced to Foundation Establishment, she might become a Tier Two Pill Master.

A family with a Tier Two Pill Master has unlimited prospects.

“Elder Li has such great grace for my Yang family, how should we repay it?” The old ancestor of the Yang family exclaimed and bowed deeply to Li Jizhou.

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

“No, the Yang family has received your great favor, how could we not repay it? Yuyan, quickly go to the clan treasury and gather Spirit Stones, take as many as you can.” The Yang family ancestor ordered decisively.

With age comes wisdom,

Currently, Li Jizhou’s status and position for the Yang family is like a savior.

If they can maintain this connection with Li Jizhou, as long as the Golden Sun Sect stands, the Yang family has infinite possibilities.

Today’s visit from the Zhao and Qian families to ease past grievances is the best example.

As for the resources accumulated within the clan, most were originally prepared for Yang Yuyan’s Foundation Establishment; under normal circumstances, if the Yang family wanted to obtain a Foundation Establishment Pill, there were only two ways.

One, auction; but to auction a pill like a Middle Grade Foundation Establishment Pill, especially under the influence of an organization like Miaodan Tower, it would require at least five thousand Spirit Stones, and even if successfully auctioned, keeping it secure is uncertain.

In such cases, most would have to spend another two thousand Spirit Stones to rent a Foundation Establishment Cave in the market, further increasing costs, and with almost no secrecy.

Now with this Foundation Establishment Pill, it can be used secretly in the ancestral grounds, allowing for more dormant time.

Second, seeking a Pill Master in Immortal City to refine it; the cost is astronomical, with materials costing at least three thousand Spirit Stones, a crafting fee of at least one thousand, and the key issue: success is not assured, potentially wasting four thousand Spirit Stones with no outcome.

“Yang Daoist, there’s no need for that, six thousand as said by Li is enough!” Li Jizhou spoke to stop them.

“However, Li has one condition, it must be used quickly!”

Considering it bears Miaodan Tower’s Dharma Pattern, not seeing it fully vanish would always pose some uncontrollable factors.

This is also why he had to sell the Foundation Establishment Pill to the Yang family; unfamiliar people would never allow an outsider to observe during their Foundation Establishment.

Li Jizhou’s words were intended to remove uncontrollable troubles for himself, but in the ears of the two others, they meant something completely different.

Yang Yuyan’s beautiful eyes instantly misted over, her heart clenched slightly, a forty-something felt a surge of emotion.

The old ancestor of the Yang family was dumbfounded with wide eyes.

Specifically delivering the Foundation Establishment Pill and offering protection, this kind of affection is quite unusual!

His gaze alternated between Li Jizhou and Yang Yuyan, a delighted expression on his face.

It’s predictable that in the distant future, perhaps the romantic stories of a certain female ancestor of the Yang family might bring another sensational buzz to the family, much like the rumors of him consorting with maids in years past.

Everything proceeded smoothly thereafter.

Yang Yuyan nurtured herself for half a month, quietly establishing her foundation in the Yang family ancestral residence.

During this period, she purchased three Tier One Advanced Level Spirit Gathering Talismans from Li Jizhou, funneling almost all Spiritual Qi from the Yang family’s Spirit Vein to one place.

Li Jizhou also secretly released Black Xuan, urging it to activate its illusion talent to cover the ancestral residence, concealing the changes in Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi.

With Yang Yuyan’s Middle Grade Spirit Root aptitude, coupled with the Middle Grade Foundation Establishment Pill.

Especially having Li Jizhou by her side, Yang Yuyan’s mind was calm with no pressure, achieving success in one step!

Half a month later, Yang Yuyan stabilized her realm and emerged, engaging in a three-day Dao debate with Li Jizhou once again.

Finally, on one morning, she bid him farewell without any burden as he left.

——–

A month later, after realizing the value of pills, Li Jizhou returned to Immortal City, first attending to Hua Tianyang for treatment again. Then he purchased materials for refining Tier Two Youthful Appearance Pills and some Spirit Medicine and Spirit Plant seeds.

Subsequently, he flew to the Golden Sun Sect Outer Peak, which would belong entirely to him for a long solitary dwelling!

The Outer Peak is located five hundred miles from the Main Peak of the Golden Sun Sect, usually with little traffic.

And those living there are all old elders of the Golden Sun Sect, with limited lifespan, closed paths, seeing through everything, and all are solitary in nature.

Steward Chen briefly mentioned this point.

The five peaks are scattered beautifully and are dozens of miles apart, while the peak where Li Jizhou is situated is the most southern,

Because its terrain among the five Outer Peaks is the most steep and towering, with cliffs towering thousands of feet, there’s no possibility of climbing other than flying,

It is named Xiaogang Peak, derived from the meaning of towering cliffs, steadfast like steel.

Li Jizhou flew around Xiaogang Peak, satisfied by its name.

Then, he took out the array key and entered the place.

All essential arrangements within were well in place; although looking small from afar, its actual area is even larger than the mansions in the Upper City District of Immortal City.

Moreover, his vision was broad, embodying a sense of grandeur overlooking smaller peaks.

The most important part is that this area belongs to the Golden Sun Sect’s main vein extension, with a Quasi-Third Tier Spirit Vein surpassing even the mansions of Immortal City’s Upper City District.

Examining the restriction array that envelops and covers the entire mountain, Li Jizhou thoroughly checked the whole peak.

After confirming no abnormalities, he began arranging the place.

Presently, his array skills about to touch the advanced Tier One level, he could barely set several layers of protection for himself.

Adding a large number of talismans, he was able to feel secure.

Until half a month later, when he finished everything, Li Jizhou released Bai Yi and Black Xuan, beginning his life of true solitude!
