Chapter 226: It has existed since ancient times

The foundation-building ceremony has existed since ancient times.

Or it should be said that it is the promotion ceremony, after all, there are also such examples for the Jindan and Yuanying stages, but theirs are more grand and huge.

According to etiquette, when a person is promoted to a higher realm, he will invite fellow practitioners.

Fellow practitioners will present gifts, and these gifts are generally helpful to the promoted person.

In those ancient times, the human race was weak, and in order to survive, they huddled together for warmth.

Every additional fellow practitioner naturally reduces the pressure.

For the latecomers, the predecessors will give him some things that they don’t need or are useful to him, which is both hope and expectation.

I just hope that he can grow up quickly and help the tribe grow.

It has evolved to this day and has become a grand ceremony custom, but the original intention has long disappeared.

It is more of an exchange of interests and a test...

"Nine Yang Immortal City has arrived! Send... a 'space ring'! Congratulations to Protector Jiang!"

The person who reported the number shouted a little broken, just because this gift is too rare!

"What? Space ring! Space storage equipment?!"

"Oh my god, what a big deal! It is said that a space storage equipment is worth at least 50,000 spirit stones!"

"Not only that, that is the worst, and if it is put in the auction house, it can also be worth 100,000 spirit stones!"

"Yeah, but I don't know how good this one is?"

"What a powerful force Jiuyang Xiancheng is. Since it is given, it will definitely not be rubbish!"

"That's right!"

"It seems that Jiuyang Xiancheng really wants to make friends with this Jiang Protector!"

"Hey, a 16-year-old True Power Realm cultivator, would you not want to make friends?"

"That's right..."

The leader of Jiuyang Xiancheng is a young man. I don't know if he has a method to keep his youth or something else.

He didn't even recognize the master next to him.

"Haha, fellow Daoist Jiang, nice to meet you, I'm 'Lu Shiming'..."

"Please come in, Mr. Lu!"

Although I don't know what level of cultivation the person in front of me has, his demeanor is extraordinary and must be high.

[It seems that I have to find time to learn a ‘pupil technique’ to keep myself safe…]

If you use your spiritual sense, you can indeed find out some truth or falsehood, but this is somewhat impolite and very easy to make enemies.

Moreover, looking at the Nine Suns Immortal City delegation in front of him, Jiang Lan also had a good impression.

After all, he had long wanted to get a set of ‘space storage equipment’, and it was really a pillow sent when he was sleepy.

It saved him a lot of money and time.

The price doesn’t matter. With a budget of 200,000 spirit stones, he can definitely get a good one, but the time is not enough.

Such a treasure cannot be purchased by others, and there is no express delivery here, so I can only go by myself…

[This foundation-building ceremony is worth it just for this. ]

At this point, the VIPs from the major foundation-building forces have arrived, and Jiang Lan’s reception is also complete.

The rest is only for Xiaomi and Shanfenghui and others to do it.

Jiang Lan walked into the inner courtyard, and the foundation-building cultivators present had already started drinking tea, wine, and chatting.

In the land of the three sects, it is rare to have so many foundation-building monks gathered together.

"Hahaha, good, this wine is spicy, I like it very much!"

Su Zhi laughed loudly and drank a big bowl of wine, accompanied by Bai Jixin.

"Master Bai, there is this wine, why didn't I see you take it out last time..."

"Well... this appetizer is not bad, it tastes good!"

On the other side, Xin Yirou sat with Elder Lin and poured tea for him personally.

"Brother Lin, I haven't seen you for a long time. How are you these days?"

Xin Yirou's eyes were dim, full of tenderness, and she was completely different from before.

[Hiss, I don't know what kind of relationship this woman has with Elder Lin...]

The young master Lu sat aside, drinking tea silently, and occasionally talking to Master Xiaoyao.

"Master Bai, why don't you see old man Dan?"

Su Zhi saw that Jiang Lan had come in, so he knew that everyone should be here.

He looked around, but didn't see Dan Wen, so he asked this question.

As soon as this question came out, Master Bai paused holding the wine glass, and everyone also noticed this abnormality and was attracted by it.

[Will the master tell the truth? ]

Jiang Lan naturally knew the reason.

Bai Jixin paused and sighed, "Old Dan has a short life span, and he has been in seclusion for some time..."

As soon as this was said, everyone present was silent.

Although they succeeded in building the foundation and cultivated to the late stage of foundation building, they can enjoy a life span of 240 years, which is two decades longer than those Qigong practitioners.

But the road ahead is difficult, and the natural barrier of Dan formation is even more difficult.

One day, they will also be like Dan Wen, in seclusion, and die if they fail...

When they thought of this, everyone present couldn't help but feel a little sad.

Jiang Qing couldn't bear it anymore, "Why are you old guys sad about the passing of time? Today is my apprentice's foundation building ceremony. It's not appropriate to celebrate it!"

Or else Jiang Qinghu, one sentence instantly swept away the sadness in everyone's hearts.

"Haha, that's right, I was too rude and shouldn't have asked such a question!"

Jiang Lan also said at the right time, "Since everyone is here, how about starting the banquet?"

"Haha, good, serve the dishes!"

Su Zhi then asked Bai Jixin who was standing beside him.

"Master Bai, did your Xiaoyao Sect recruit a new and powerful spiritual chef? Even these side dishes are so good, I think the main dish will definitely not disappoint me!"

Jiang Lan smiled and clasped his fists and said, "Master Su, don't worry, I will definitely do my best."

Then he walked to the side hall, where the ingredients and cooking utensils were ready.

Su Zhi touched his smooth head and looked at Bai Jixin with a puzzled look.

Bai Jixin laughed and explained: "This appetizer is made by my apprentice brother Jiang. His craftsmanship is also famous in my Xiaoyao Sect..."

Jiang Qing crossed her legs, picked up the last piece of osmanthus cake on the plate, and said proudly to Su Zhi:

"Wait and see, the food made by my apprentice is so delicious that you can swallow your tongue!"

Xin Yirou, who was standing aside, was about to reach out to take the last piece of osmanthus cake, but was intercepted by Jiang Qing, which made her a little angry.

But then she heard that there was another hard dish later, so she stopped caring and waited expectantly.

In the middle, she couldn't help but look at Lin Zhisheng on the side, but saw him point his finger at the corner of his mouth and gesture to herself.

Xin Yirou blushed, stretched out her hand, tilted her head, and cleaned the cake stains from the corner of her mouth.

Su Zhi laughed heartily: "Okay! I'll have to taste it later!"

Everyone present was looking forward to it, chatting, reminiscing about the past, or introducing their outstanding disciples, and the atmosphere was warm.

Outside, guests from various families took their seats one after another. He Xiaomi was very smart, and he and Wei Zhao and Gu Xiu directed the Shanfeng Club, and the reception was in order.

Jiang Lan was worried before, but now it seems that Xiaomi can take charge of it on his own.

Outside, He Xiaomi smiled kindly and without timidity, making the guests feel like spring breeze.

Whenever they met, they would respectfully call her "Xuanhui Fairy".

"Xiaomi, I haven't seen you for a long time, and I miss you so much! When you were away, I really couldn't sleep or eat well. Fortunately, I met you again."

A person walked out of the Flame Gate, holding a wine glass and walked to his side, wanting to toast.

He Xiaomi couldn't hold back her smile, [Why is he here...]

But since she was the host, she had no choice but to clink glasses with him.

"After the banquet, can I invite you to visit the green mountains and clear waters?"

"Sorry, I have something else to do later..."

"Oh, that's it... What a pity..."

"Brother Zhao, come quickly, the dishes are served, the dishes are really good!"

Zhao Yaotian was dragged away by his fellow apprentices with a look of regret. He turned his head and looked back, only to see He Xiaomi smiling and waving his hand.

Looking back, He Xiaomi finally breathed a sigh of relief, explained to Wei Zhao, and left.

I really don't want to see this dog-skin plaster again...
