Cultivating Immortality Through a Hundred Lifetimes in Both Realms

Qixia Lake, deep within the Jiang family's territory.

Before Ancestor Jiang Shun summoned Jiang Yun and Jiang Ruoshui, the clan elders had already gathered together.

They sat upright, waiting for Jiang Yun and the others to arrive.

Jiang Anyong was the first to arrive.

Two years have passed, and he is now fifty-eight years old.

If the ancestor bestows upon him the opportunity to establish his foundation, he will still have hope of achieving it.

Today is the day to decide who will receive the opportunity to build a foundation.

No matter what, we must fight for it!

Not long after.

Jiang Yun and Jiang Ruoshui arrived.

After the two paid their respects to the ancestor in unison, they stood together with Jiang Anyong.

At the very top is the patriarch Jiang Shun, with the clan elders seated on either side.

Jiang Yun's grandfather, Jiang Yiming, was also among them.

Everyone remained silent, waiting for the patriarch to speak.

At the very top, the ancestor Jiang Shun spread out his palms.

All the people saw was an exquisite wooden box appear out of thin air in Jiang Shun's palm.

Jiang Yun's gaze sharpened.

This wooden box is no ordinary object; it is made of spirit wood.

It must contain some kind of elixir.

It's most likely a Foundation Establishment Pill.

The appearance of the wooden box instantly attracted everyone's attention.

The eyes of many clan elders immediately turned fervent.

Unfortunately, they had no chance to obtain this item.

The ancestor would never waste the Foundation Establishment Pill on old men like them who are over sixty years old.

The Foundation Building Pill can only end up in the hands of Jiang Yun, Jiang Ruoshui, or Jiang Anyong.

Thinking of this, several clan elders couldn't help but cast envious glances at Jiang Yun and the others.

At this moment, the patriarch Jiang Shun spoke.

"This trip to the Xuan Yang Secret Realm was fraught with peril, but fortunately, the Jiang family was blessed, and I was able to escape with my life."

"After leaving the secret realm, I used what I obtained there to exchange for a Foundation Establishment Pill at the Qingyang Sect."

Jiang Shun, holding the wooden box containing the Foundation Establishment Pills in one hand, spoke in a low voice with an indifferent expression:

"This is the Foundation Building Pill."

"The fate of the Jiang family for the next hundred years rests entirely on this!"

As soon as the words were spoken, everyone held their breath.

It really is a Foundation Establishment Pill!

Jiang Shun turned his gaze to Jiang Yun and Jiang Ruoshui, then closed his eyes and said:

"Among the clan members under the age of sixty, only Jiang Yun, Jiang Ruoshui, and Jiang Anyong have reached the Great Perfection of Qi Refining."

"There is only one Foundation Establishment Pill, and we will decide who gets it today."

A moment of silence fell over the hall, followed by bursts of whispers.

The clan elders each held their own opinions and had their own preferred candidates.

"Jiang Anyong has been at the Great Perfection of Qi Refining for many years and is well prepared. He should be granted the Foundation Establishment Pill."

"It was Jiang Yitian, the elder in charge of foreign affairs, who spoke up."

He is Jiang Anyong's father.

Naturally, he wanted the Foundation Establishment Pill to fall into his son's hands.

"Jiang Ruoshui is a direct descendant of the ancestor, and is only forty-seven years old, younger than Jiang Yun and Jiang Anyong. The Foundation Establishment Pill should be given to her."

Clan Chief Jiang Yitao looked at Jiang Ruoshui and said with a smile.

After all, Jiang Ruoshui was a direct descendant of the Jiang family and also his grandniece.

"Indeed, Ruoshui possesses exceptional talent. If she breaks through to the Foundation Establishment stage, she will surely be able to support the entire family!"

Elder Jiang Yiping, the head of the Internal Affairs Department, is Jiang Ruoshui's grandfather. It is self-evident who he favors.

"Although Jiang Yun is from a collateral branch, he is calm and composed, and his cultivation is steady and methodical, progressing step by step. If we were to bestow the Foundation Establishment Pill upon him, I believe his chances of success would be much greater!"

Jiang Yun's grandfather, Jiang Yiming, spoke up for Jiang Yun.

However, since he was born out of wedlock, almost no one paid him any attention.

At first, the debate was relatively quiet.

Now, it's become a bit noisy.

Ancestor Jiang Shun opened his eyes, looking quite displeased, as he listened to the elders' meaningless words.

Seeing the patriarch's gloomy face, the crowd dared not make any more noise and all fell silent.

Once everyone quieted down.

Jiang Shun first looked at Jiang Anyong and commanded, "Use all your magic and attack me with your strongest move."

"Ancestor, please forgive me."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Anyong made a hand seal.

Instantly, countless ice spikes condensed in the air and shot towards Jiang Shun.

With a flick of his left sleeve, Jiang Shun dissipated all the ice spikes.

He nodded expressionlessly and said to Jiang Ruoshui, "You come too."

"I'm sorry."

Jiang Ruoshui cupped her hands in greeting.

He then went all out, mobilizing all his magical power to unleash the Fire Dragon Technique.

She cultivates the Fire and Earth Element Technique, which mainly uses fire-based spells.

A gigantic fire dragon, with terrifying power, lunged at Jiang Shun.

Jiang Shun casually waved his sleeve, easily deflecting the attack.

Even the strongest move from a Qi Refining Grand Perfection cultivator wouldn't be able to harm a Foundation Establishment cultivator in the slightest.

"Jiang Yun, it's your turn."

Jiang Shun then looked at Jiang Yun.

"Golden Light Technique!"

Jiang Yun nodded and cast the Golden Light Technique.

This is a defensive spell.

His strongest ability right now is his life-saving magic.

The ancestor had the three of them use their full magical power simply to understand the depth of each person's magical abilities.

Casting defensive spells can achieve the same effect.

"Not bad, it looks like it can withstand a casual attack from a Foundation Establishment cultivator."

Jiang Shun praised Jiang Yun's golden light technique.

After a series of tests...

He discovered that Jiang Yun and Jiang Ruoshui's magical powers were almost equal.

Only Jiang Anyong's magic power was more refined, and his spells were more powerful.

However, Jiang Anyong has been immersed in the Great Perfection of Qi Refining for many years, which is not an advantage.

For a moment, Jiang Shun fell into deep thought.

This matter concerns the rise and fall of the Jiang family over the past century.

Should this Foundation Establishment Pill be given to Jiang Yun or Jiang Ruoshui?

In fact.

Two years ago, Jiang Shun had already excluded Jiang Anyong.

Of course, Jiang Anyong was unaware of this.

Before long, Jiang Shun had an idea.

"Without Foundation Establishment Pills, what are your chances of achieving Foundation Establishment? And even if you had Foundation Establishment Pills, how confident would you be?"

With a flick of his sleeve, Jiang Shun conjured three blank talismans and three spirit pens, which appeared out of thin air in front of Jiang Yun and the others.

"There's no need to answer directly. Write your confidence on the talisman."

The talisman and the spirit brush were hung in front of Jiang Yun, Jiang Ruoshui, and Jiang Anyong.

All three picked up their writing brushes, but remained silent for a long time.

Jiang Yun smiled bitterly to himself.

Without Foundation Establishment Pills, there's not even a 10% chance of success.

With Foundation Establishment Pills, the chances are at most 30%.

With two Foundation Establishment Pills, there's a 50% chance of success.

Unfortunately, there is only one Foundation Establishment Pill, and it must be competed for with Jiang Ruoshui and Jiang Anyong.

If Jiang Ruoshui and Jiang Anyong were more confident in their writing than he was...

Jiang Yun shook his head inwardly.

This is a game of strategy.

Never mind, I'll just write as high as I can.

if I get it I am lucky, but if not, it is fate.

So Jiang Yun wrote five characters on it—

One and a half percent, four percent.

Without Foundation Establishment Pills, the chances are 15%; with Foundation Establishment Pills, the chances are 40%.

They overstated the figure by a full 10%.

After finishing writing.

The talisman immediately burst into flames.

At the same time, Jiang Shun also learned the probability of Jiang Yun's writing.

at the same time.

Jiang Ruoshui and Jiang Anyong also wrote their own works.

All three talismans were burned to ashes.

Ancestor Jiang Shun also learned about the three people's respective foundation building abilities.

After a moment of contemplation.

Jiang Shun said, "Jiang Anyong, you may step down."

Jiang Anyong was taken aback for a moment, then a look of resentment appeared on his face.

He knew that the Foundation Establishment Pill was no longer for him.

"Yes, ma'am."

As Jiang Anyong left, he glanced at Jiang Yun and Jiang Ruoshui.

He wrote that he was 10% or 30% sure. I'm curious what percentage of sure Jiang Yun and Jiang Ruoshui wrote.
