Transform into ancestral tablets and create a supreme immortal clan.

Shen Xiao's memorial tablet shimmered with a faint light, appearing even more mysterious amidst the rising incense smoke.

"You are an outstanding descendant of my Shen family. I am very pleased that you have a bright future."

This filial piety is enough; there's no need for further formalities.

"I hereby inform our ancestors that Muge has come today."

"Firstly, to express my gratitude, and secondly, to exchange for a Foundation Establishment Pill."

Foundation Establishment Pills aren't too expensive in the system shop; even the best Foundation Establishment Pills only cost 500 offerings.

Do you understand the rules?

"Mu Ge understands. I have prepared offerings in advance. I hope the ancestors will accept them with pleasure."

As for the rules, Shen Muge naturally understood them.

His great-grandfather, Shen Shixiu, took charge and gathered all the resources of their lineage. Combined with their contribution points, they exchanged a considerable amount of resources with the patriarch, Shen Shichu.

Only then did they come to the ancestral hall to make offerings, asking for just one Foundation Establishment Pill.

If it were a few months ago, they probably wouldn't have had so many resources.

But now that the Shen family has absorbed the Bei family, the entire clan's cultivation resources have become extremely abundant.

The Shen family now has few cultivators, so when spread out, they are naturally very wealthy.

Even the Shen family's treasury has become several times thicker as a result.

These represent the accumulated wealth and resources of the Bei family over hundreds of years.

Shen Shixiu's lineage naturally also received a lot of good things.

Therefore, they have only just managed to gather enough resources worth 12,000 low-grade spirit stones to exchange for two spirit plants in the family treasury for offering.

Shen Xiao transformed the two spiritual plants and gained 1200 offering points.

Shen Xiao was overjoyed, having never experienced such extravagance before.

"Shen Muge, I hereby bestow upon you a top-grade Foundation Establishment Pill and a thousand-year-old python spirit fruit. I hope you will work diligently and advance your cultivation to the next level."

Top-grade Foundation Building Pill, Millennium Python Spirit Fruit!

Any one of these would be a scarce resource that would be fought over in the cultivation world of Southern Chu.

Even among the four great immortal sects, the most fortunate disciples at the time of Foundation Establishment would only receive a high-grade Foundation Establishment Pill.

Top-grade Foundation Establishment Pills are extremely rare, occurring only once every few hundred or even a thousand years.

As for the thousand-year-old python spirit fruit, such a rare and precious treasure is extremely scarce; otherwise, the Shen family would not have kept this spirit tree so well hidden.

Of course, everything Shen Xiao brought out was from the system's shop and had absolutely nothing to do with the cultivation world of Southern Chu.

As a result, Shen Muge's expression at this moment was one of extreme excitement and admiration.

He truly deserves to be called the first ancestor who founded the Shen family.

Even the smallest thing that slips out between their fingers is a divine elixir or secret treasure that no one could possibly earn, no matter how desperately they fought for it.

Because Shen Muge possesses the Three Yang Spiritual Body, she became a disciple of Liu Ruochen, the head of Yuheng Peak of Seven Star Mountain, from a young age. She is not a rogue cultivator who has never seen the world.

That's why it's even clearer how precious this thing is.

With the use of top-grade Foundation Establishment Pills and the Millennium Python Spirit Fruit, two divine elixirs, his success in establishing his foundation is almost a certainty, given his aptitude.

Most importantly, these two elixirs will provide an incredibly strong foundation for entering the Dao.

Even after entering the Foundation Establishment stage, the purity of true essence and magical power, as well as the speed of cultivation, will be several times that of others.

This was the most crucial step that set him apart from other ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivators.

Shen Muge kowtowed again: "I will never forget the great kindness of my ancestors."

They were determined to go through fire and water for their family to repay the kindness of their ancestors.

"Go now and focus on building your foundation!"

I will come to pay my respects again once you have successfully completed your foundation building.

"At that time, I have something I need you to do."

"I will not fail the cultivation and high expectations of my ancestors. Muge takes his leave!"

Shen Xiao was in a good mood today, having received a large amount of offerings.

Although exchanging for the top-grade Foundation Establishment Pill and the Millennium Python Spirit Fruit cost a total of one thousand offering points.

However, the income of 200 offerings is indeed something to be happy about.

The Shen family has just annexed the Bei family, and the members of the clan must have reaped considerable benefits.

Everyone knows that his ancestor is very powerful; whenever someone makes offerings to him, they are sure to receive something good.

I'm afraid they'll all rush to come.

Shen Muge is just the beginning; others will surely be restless as well.

Sure enough, the next day.

Shen Mingzhou then arrived.

When they first transmigrated, the Shen family only had two cultivators at the Great Perfection of Qi Refining.

One is the patriarch Shen Shichu, and the other is Shen Mingzhou.

To have such skill at over forty years old is truly remarkable.

After all, he was considered a pillar of the middle generation in the Shen family.

We should have started preparing for foundation building long ago, but we were delayed repeatedly due to insufficient resources.

Shen Mingzhou had contributed greatly to the Shen family's previous power struggles and deserved considerable benefits.

This time, Shen Mingzhou was quite generous, offering a spiritual item worth 2000 offering points in one go.

Shen Xiao was not stingy. In addition to the top-grade Foundation Establishment Pill and the thousand-year-old python spirit fruit that he needed most at the moment, he also bestowed a top-grade spiritual artifact, the "True Fire Spirit Crow Gourd".

The gourd belongs to the wood element and contains true blazing fire, which perfectly matches Shen Mingzhou's dual spiritual roots of fire and wood.

This item is a masterpiece among top-grade spiritual artifacts, combining offense, defense, trapping, and suppression.

In the cultivation world of Southern Chu, this would be an extremely rare treasure.

Most importantly, this top-grade spiritual artifact is made of excellent materials and has the potential for growth.

By replacing the spirit fire with a higher-grade one and nurturing it with true essence and magical power, it can be reborn and upgraded into a magic weapon.

After exchanging for the three treasures, Shen Mingzhou only had 300 points left in his offerings.

Another month has passed.

Almost all of the dozen or so cultivators from the Shen family came.

Shen Xiao's total offering value also reached 1850 points.

It seems that murder and arson truly do bring wealth and power.

The mere annexation of the small Bei family brought Shen Xiao and his family such enormous benefits.

This made Shen Xiao somewhat consider taking action against the Cao family on the other side.

But after thinking about it, I held back.

The Shen family needs time to process this situation and to grow.

As for the Cao family, they ultimately cannot escape.

……

Behind the Shen family's mountain, there is a medium-grade spiritual spring.

The concentration of spiritual energy here is relatively high, so much so that Shen family cultivators often choose to soak in this spiritual spring for cultivation.

Fortunately, the location of this spiritual spring is a vast, uneven depression.

There are no fewer than dozens of stone pools of varying sizes.

Therefore, the disciples of various families cultivate here without interfering with each other.

Recently, the disciples have benefited from Shen Zhe's teachings and have gathered here to cultivate.

However, today is a little different.

Because a special person came to the relatively remote stone pool in the spiritual spring.

This person is none other than Nanshan Yu!

All the disciples knew of his existence, but dared not disturb him easily.

This is because the head of the household specifically instructed that these are distinguished guests who should be treated with great hospitality.

Nanshan Yu was originally an inner disciple of Qixing Mountain, and also a guest valued by the family head.

They would naturally receive more preferential treatment from the Shen family.

Today, Nanshan Yu was seen to be surrounded by a dazzling light, and the spiritual energy within a ten-mile radius was flowing back into it.

This entire spiritual pool was covered with a layer of frost.

Then, after three days and three nights, a powerful spiritual pressure erupted from Nanshan Yu's body.

"Foundation Establishment! He actually reached Foundation Establishment?"

The surrounding Shen family members were all envious.

Unexpectedly, an outsider easily succeeded in establishing his foundation within the Shen family's ancestral land.

They have all witnessed how Nanshan Yu has been cultivating himself over these past few days.

"This guy doesn't seem to have taken any Foundation Establishment Pills, does he?"

"Can one successfully establish a foundation without the aid of Foundation Establishment Pills?"

"Why does he still exude a strong, chilling aura?"

"His face was so pale, he didn't look alive!"

"It looks a bit like the corpse-refining techniques of the Floating Corpse Pavilion, but it also has a strong sense of vitality."

"Can you feel it? The essence and blood within your bodies are restless!"

"I felt as if my soul had been frozen, as if I had wandered into a ghost realm."

"Could he be the legendary mutated ice spirit root? Or perhaps a mutated yin spirit root?"

"This guy's got a weird vibe!"
