The abandoned cannon fodder girl's path to immortality

Chapter 203 Invitation

"Foundation Building Pill?" Upon hearing the name "Foundation Building Pill," the Ning family members' expressions immediately changed, and they looked at Chen Jinshu with more astonishment.

"I never expected your Chen family to be able to produce something like a Foundation Establishment Pill. I really underestimated you." Ning's mother glanced at Chen Jinshu's appearance and said with a somewhat surprised tone.

"Hmph! But these Foundation Establishment Pills are for my second uncle and aunt, not for your Ning family."

Chen Jinshu stroked the green zither in front of him and spoke without any restraint.

This Foundation Establishment Pill was a gift from her second uncle to Ning Lingwei as part of his dowry. As for the one her second uncle had, she had already prepared it and exchanged it from another senior brother.

Chen Jinshu glanced at these people, then took out the Foundation Establishment Pill and presented it to them.

The Foundation Establishment Pill, with its pale purple aura, stood out brightly in the spacious courtyard, attracting the attention of many independent cultivators around.

"Since you are a disciple of the Xuanming Sect, it is normal for you to have Foundation Establishment Pills." The Ning family elder's tone softened considerably upon hearing this.

Ning Lingwei was originally supposed to receive a Foundation Establishment Pill as part of her dowry in the marriage arranged by her family. However, since she was marrying out of the family, the patriarch would never allow it and the Foundation Establishment Pill to leak out. Therefore, her family came here to stop her.

Becoming a Foundation Establishment cultivator in the Ning family is a powerful force, not something they can simply give up.

Seeing that Ning Lingwei had Foundation Establishment Pills as a betrothal gift, his expression improved.

In any case, the Ning family is not at a loss. On the contrary, Chen Wentan failed to establish his foundation, and Ning Lingwei can be used as a tool for the family, so how can they be considered to have suffered a loss?

A moment later, the banquet continued, and few cultivators harbored any further prejudice against Chen Wentan and his companion. They all offered their congratulations and best wishes, and joy filled the air.

The main reason is that Chen Jinshu has connections with the Xuanming Sect, and even the Ning family, a Golden Core clan, gives him some face.

After the banquet, Chen Jinshu handed the box containing two Foundation Establishment Pills to his second uncle, Chen Wentan.

One of them was given as a betrothal gift, and the other was given as an opportunity for my second uncle to establish his foundation.

Chen Wentan was very grateful for Chen Jinshu's support, but promised that if he were to achieve Foundation Establishment in the future, he would return the spirit stones given as a gift for the Foundation Establishment Pill as soon as possible.

After completing his second uncle's wedding, Chen Jinshu did not linger and went directly to the shop under the jurisdiction of the Xuanming Sect in Guanghan Immortal City.

Her senior brother, a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator from the Xuanming Sect, came to help, and she needed to show her appreciation.

A moment later, she found her fellow students in front of a magnificently decorated shop.

She quickly stepped forward and said to the cultivators, "Thank you so much, Senior Brother, for coming to my aid! I am deeply grateful. Please feel free to ask me for help if you need anything in the future."

"Junior Sister Jinshu is here?"

When everyone saw Chen Jinshu arrive, there was a hint of surprise in their eyes.

They thought Chen Jinshu was busy with family matters and wouldn't be able to come for a few days, but they didn't expect it to be so soon.

"There wasn't anything going on over there. I came over as soon as I finished my work."

"These are red envelopes for my fellow disciples as a token of my appreciation for their marriage. I hope you will accept them."

Without much thought, Chen Jinshu took out five or six storage bags from a brocade box and gave one to each of his senior brothers as payment for his help.

If we're just talking about compensation, it would seem a bit unfamiliar between fellow disciples from the same sect. It would be easier for them to accept it if we described it as a marriage-related red envelope.

"Junior Sister, you're too kind. Your Chen family has shops in Guanghan Immortal City. We will definitely help you out in the future." Seeing that Chen Jinshu was not a stingy person, everyone immediately made a promise.

"My fellow disciples, please continue with your normal business. This should be my last visit to the Chen family; I won't be coming again. The Chen family is a thing of the past for me." Chen Jinshu chuckled lightly, not appreciating her fellow disciples' kindness. The Chen family wasn't worth her favors.

"Is that so?" The group was somewhat surprised upon hearing this.

"When does Junior Sister plan to return to the sect?"

"It should be within the next month or two," Chen Jinshu said after thinking for a moment.

She probably won't stay in Guanghan Immortal City for long, mainly because there's no need for her to stay.

Once the sect's ship started moving, she prepared to leave.

Upon hearing this, the group exchanged glances, their gazes towards Chen Jinshu thoughtful.

“In that case, would you be willing to join our operation, Junior Sister? This operation will be of great importance to our future cultivation,” said the senior brother with the highest cultivation level.

"What operation? Could it be that the senior brothers have accepted a mission from the sect and haven't completed it yet, so..." Chen Jinshu asked with a puzzled look.

"Not at all! Junior sister, please come to the tea room first, let's have a proper discussion." The speaker gestured invitingly.

"Alright!"

Finally, Chen Jinshu was led to a tea room by the group.

The interior was decorated in an extremely luxurious style, with a faint golden hue, as if sunlight were shining in from outside.

The rising mist gave it a somewhat celestial palace feel.

"Half a month ago, we accidentally discovered a fourth-grade array on Qingfeng Island, a thousand miles away. Our initial guess is that it is the ruins of a Nascent Soul cultivator's cave. There may be precious spiritual items inside that have reached the Core Formation stage."

"Really?" Chen Jinshu's eyes flickered slightly after hearing this.

She didn't think her senior brothers would be interested in her wealth; they undoubtedly possessed the site, but the danger of the site was unknown.

It's too early for her to focus on Core Formation, but she should start preparing as soon as possible.

For example, the senior disciple of the inner sect has been stuck at the peak of Foundation Establishment for more than ten years, which has completely delayed him, and he has not yet made any further progress.

Chen Jinshu was getting anxious.

Now, upon hearing about the ruins and cave dwellings of Nascent Soul cultivators, she was intrigued.

With the help of her fellow disciples, she felt that this matter had some potential.

"I wonder if my senior brothers have heard any news? So that I can make some preparations."

"Preparation is definitely necessary, after all, this cave is no ordinary place. Poisonous insects roam fifty miles outside the cave. The owner inside is probably a poison cultivator or a Gu cultivator. Therefore, we need to prepare some spiritual items to suppress these poisonous insects."

"As for this formation, we have already come up with a solution, but we only have eight or nine people at the moment. We are still short of the strength to break through a fourth-order formation or open a passage. In addition to purchasing items to suppress the poisonous insects, we have also been looking for suitable cultivators to help us these days."

"Our own sect's fellow disciples are naturally the best. Those rogue cultivators are inexperienced and might cause trouble. Therefore, we prioritize Foundation Establishment disciples from the Xuanming Sect. Do you have anyone suitable to invite, Junior Sister?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Jinshu roughly understood what the others were thinking. They wanted to use a more advanced array to break another array with another, but activating such an array would require a lot of manpower.

Prioritizing disciples from one's own sect is mainly to prevent internal conflicts. Even within one's own sect, disputes can arise, so those independent cultivators are even less trustworthy.

"I do have a few good candidates, but will it affect the work here in Guanghan Immortal City?"
