The Ji Family's Pride

Chapter 4: Inside the Ji Clan
Wanjian City, inside the Ji family's ancestral hall.

"Liuzhen, I heard that your son Ji Xiaoshan has achieved innate perfection. It seems that my Ji family will have one more Purple Mansion cultivator in the near future!" A middle-aged man said with a smile when he saw Ji Liuzhen.

"Liu Zhen, your son is such a monster. Xiao Shan is only twenty this year, right? He is already a perfect innate being at such a young age."

"Yes, Liu Zhen, that kid is stronger than you were back then!"

"Of course not. He is the pride of our Ji family. He is incredible, incredible. Now he has already achieved perfect innateness. At this age, you can ask him if he wants a wife someday. My little girl is so cute!" Another big man in the clan's mansion joked.

When Ji Liuzhen, the lord of the Ji clan's Northern Mansion, was young, he was like the radiant sun of the Ji clan. He had a good personality, strong cultivation, and naturally good popularity.

As soon as he stepped into the clan residence, the Ji clan members he knew in the residence noticed the joy radiating from Ji Liuzhen's face.

"Where's the clan leader? I have something to ask him." Ji Liuzhen saw the clan members coming over, but he didn't respond directly. If those old acquaintances in the clan responded with that, he would have no idea how many more daughters-in-law he would have the next moment.

He didn't want to be kicked out of the room by his wife on such a happy day.

Ji Xiaoshan has now become a Purple Mansion cultivator like him. Considering the long lifespan of a Purple Mansion cultivator of 500 years, there is naturally no need for him to rush to find a wife for the 20-year-old Ji Xiaoshan.

"Are you here to look for the clan leader again today? He is in the main hall of the clan mansion. Did you steal his treasures last time you came? You have been looking gloomy these days." A middle-aged man replied.

"Haha. In the main hall of the clan?" Thinking of the old face of the clan leader Ji Jiuhuo, which had been dark for several days, the usually calm Ji Liuzhen couldn't help but laugh. "You want to know? You can ask the clan leader yourself."

"Forget it, forget it. I don't want to know." The big man shuddered as he recalled the overwhelming poisonous insects.

"Go find him quickly, he's inside." The big man said as he gently pushed Ji Liuzhen.

……

In the main hall, Ji Liuzhen strode forward and shouted loudly, "Chief, Chief, I'm here again!"

Listening to Ji Liuzhen's voice echoing in the hall, Ji Jiuhuo, dressed in a gray robe, slowly walked out from the depths of the hall.

"Liuzhen, you don't come here for no reason. Are you here today because Xiaoshan has achieved a breakthrough into the Purple Mansion?" Ji Jiuhuo asked expectantly, looking at the joy on Ji Liuzhen's face that had not yet been restrained.

“Yes, although the essence liquid is a little less, Xiaoshan has sufficient foundation, and has now broken through to the Purple Mansion realm.”

"That Yuan Liquid is almost five kilograms, is it still not enough? That's all the assets that my Ji family can take out right now!" Ji Jiuhuo glared and said in a deep voice when he heard this.

"Well, that's just what I said. I also know that life is not easy in the clan." Ji Liuzhen responded to Ji Jiuhuo.

"Xiaoshan is going to leave for Anchan City in a few days to find a sect to join. He is still young and has a lot of opportunities compared to us. I am here today to inform the clan of this news."

Ji Liuzhen told Ji Xiaoshan about his previous plan
"He's going to Anchan City right after he breaks through? That's good. That kid has good aptitude and will have more opportunities to go to a big sect. That kid is learning the Ten Thousand Swords Song, right?" Ji Jiuhuo thought for a moment, then took out a pale green long sword with a cold glow from the storage magic weapon, and handed it to Ji Liuzhen. "I have a human-level top-grade magic long sword. This Qiushui Sword fell into my hands by chance. Let's consider it as a gift from the clan to congratulate Xiaoshan for becoming a Purple Mansion cultivator."

"This... our clan had already paid a lot when Xiaoshan broke through the Purple Mansion. This top-grade human-level magic weapon is also extremely precious to our clan. We don't need the magic weapon anymore. The Snow Dragon Mountain in Yanshan has been restless in recent years, and our clan is not having a good time."

"Just take it if I tell you to. How many Purple Mansion cultivators in my Ji clan use swords? This is not for you. This is a gift of congratulations from me, as an elder in the clan, to the younger generation. It's for Xiaoshan, so take it." Ji Jiuhuo didn't give Ji Liuzhen a chance to refuse and stuffed it directly into his hand.

"Then... I'll keep it for Xiaoshan. I don't have any swords among the magic weapons I have. Thank you, clan leader." Seeing that the clan leader was firm in his decision, Ji Liuzhen didn't point it out. He knew the value of the sword, so he put the sword into his own storage of magic weapons.

Top-grade human-level magic weapons are extremely precious. Even if you don’t need them, you can exchange them with other Purple Mansion cultivators.

At worst, there would be no problem selling it to Wanbaoshan or Wuyou Cave in Anchan City. What's more, it is a sword-type magic weapon, which is far from what Ji Jiuhuo said.

"Liu Zhen, Xiaoshan has broken through the Purple Mansion realm at such a young age and is about to go out to explore the world. Don't tell the clan about this news for the time being. It can be considered a trump card left by our Ji family." Ji Jiuhuo thought of Ji Xiaoshan's young face. With his monstrous qualifications, he would be ranked among the top few since the establishment of the Ji family.

"Yes!" Ji Liuzhen nodded. He knew the principle that a tree stands out from the crowd, and besides, that son was his only son.

"Chief, this time I come here, I still need all the divine and demonic body-training methods in the clan. Xiaoshan, that kid, wants to practice both divine and demonic body-training and qi-training. I will bring the clan's methods back and let him try." Seeing that Ji Liuzhen had told Ji Jiuhuo everything that needed to be said, Ji Liuzhen told him that Ji Xiaoshan wanted to practice both divine and demonic body-training and qi-training.

"This..." Ji Jiuhuo was a little embarrassed. He had lived for hundreds of years and had seen many talented immortal cultivators. If he was distracted, he would be just like everyone else. Ji Xiaoshan had broken through the Purple Mansion at a young age. If he was distracted to practice the Divine Demon Body Refining, what if...

"Clan leader, you can let him try to practice. If he succeeds, he will have a better chance of surviving when he goes out to explore."

Ji Liuzhen continued to say that since he had decided to support Ji Xiaoshan, he would fully cooperate. Before the clan leader Ji Jiuhuo could refuse, he spoke directly.

moment.

"Okay, then you go directly to the clan to get it. I will convey the message to the clan manager now." Ji Jiuhuo nodded, and immediately conveyed the message to the clan member who managed the Taoist Canon to explain the matter.

Ji Xiaoshan knew that if he was just trying it out, it wouldn't matter. Even if he failed, his aptitude for practicing airflow was enough to allow him to go further and further. But if he succeeded, his ability to survive would increase, and his combat power would be much stronger.

"Okay, clan leader, I'll go first. I guess Xiaoshan is still waiting for me to bring him some martial arts." Ji Liuzhen said goodbye to Ji Jiuhuo with a smile.

……

Watching Ji Liuzhen walk out of the clan hall, Ji Jiuhuo thought about the increasingly powerful clan and was extremely satisfied with Ji Liuzhen and his son.

Previously, there were Ji Yichuan and Ji Liuzhen in the clan, and the next generation will have Ji Xiaoshan. The Ji family will become more and more powerful in the future.

"Yichuan that kid went out to explore the world, and just recently returned to West Mansion, and he even brought back a Taoist companion. His Taoist companion seems to be called Yuchi Xue! Seeing that she is pregnant, Yichuan will almost be a father soon." Ji Jiuhuo looked at Ji Liuzhen, and thought of the stern young man who was as famous as him in the clan, the Dripping Sword Ji Yichuan, and muttered to himself.
