My path to immortality was smooth sailing.

"Since that's the case, and we've received Sect Leader Yu's promise, there's no need to rush to exchange this Foundation Establishment Pill," Wei Jing said to Clan Chief Wei Shuo.

"The elders in the clan who are under fifty years old and whose blood and energy have not yet declined have not yet reached the perfect Qi Refining stage. Even if they exchange for it, it will only sit idle in the clan's treasury and will attract the attention of other cultivators who seek to rob them." Wei Jing shook his head.

"Yes, that's right." Wei Shuo nodded in agreement.

"Instead of wasting this large amount of contribution points, we should exchange them for some treasures that are useful to the family and can have an immediate effect."

"For example, this Golden Scale Black Iron Spear is a second-grade high-quality magic weapon. If the clan leader obtains this magic weapon, his strength will definitely increase greatly. At that time, when he confronts the Foundation Establishment ancestor of the Chu family, his chances of winning will be much greater."

Wei Shuo was overjoyed. Although he really wanted the Foundation Establishment Pill, he couldn't use it. But he really liked this Golden Scale Black Iron Spear!

But being frugal and having endured hardship for so long, his first thought was still to exchange for Foundation Establishment Pills.

As for the Golden Scale Black Iron Spear, which cost 6,000 contribution points, he had only dared to glance at it before.

But now Wei Jing had just said he would take it down directly, which made him secretly sigh.

It seems that his son is not only forward-thinking and decisive, but also spends money lavishly.

Looking at the fifteen-year-old boy in front of him, Wei Shuo suddenly felt a little unfamiliar with him.

After returning from the secret realm, Wei Jing had indeed changed a lot.

"Alright, then so be it." Wei Shuo stopped being coy. As the head of a clan, he couldn't be petty at this crucial moment.

"We also need to purchase a batch of commonly used cultivation pills such as the Great Barrier-Breaking Pill, the Yuan-Nourishing Pill, the Qi-Nourishing Pill, and the Ice Spirit Jade Marrow," Wei Jing added.

"Clan leader, the Foundation Establishment Pill can be postponed, but Foundation Establishment spiritual items can be kept on hand," Wei Long said, pointing to the Pure Yang Gang Sha on the list.

The first choice for Foundation Establishment is Foundation Establishment Pill; the next best option is to find a Foundation Establishment Spiritual Object.

Pure Yang Gang Sha is a fire-type foundation-building spiritual item that can increase the foundation-building probability of those who cultivate fire-type techniques by 10%.

"Alright, bring me a pure Yang Qi Sha."

"Bring two more strands of purple wood earth energy."

In one go, another 6,000 contribution points were spent, along with the Golden Scale Black Iron Spear worth 6,000 contribution points and a batch of commonly used cultivation pills.

Sixteen thousand contribution points, gone just like that.

Stepping out of the Qingfu Sect's mountain gate, Wei Shuo felt refreshed and couldn't stop smiling.

"How did it go? How many treasures did you exchange for?" Elder Hong Gu knew from the smile on the clan leader's face that this was a great success.

"Haha! Let's go, let's talk on the flying boat."

After speaking, Wei Shuo summoned a flying boat, and the four of them boarded the boat and flew away against the wind.

The flying boat soared into the sky, and the mountain gate of the Qingfu Sect grew smaller and smaller behind it, eventually turning into a blurry outline in the clouds.

Wei Jing stood behind Elder Hong Gu, his robes fluttering in the wind high above.

"Golden Scale Black Iron Spear, second-grade superior quality! I, Wei Shuo, have lived for over sixty years, and this is the first time I've ever touched a second-grade superior quality magic weapon."

"A second-tier magic weapon? All the Foundation Establishment Pills have been exchanged?" Elder Hong Gu wondered.

The flying boat was much faster than Elder Hong Gu's peach blossom pod, which took them three or four days to arrive, swaying and rocking.

However, the clan leader's flying boat only traveled for less than a day before spotting Jade Stack Peak.

Along the way, Wei Shuo also told Hong Gu about his experience in the Transmission Hall.

Upon hearing about the three people in the Transmission Hall, even Elder Hong Gu, who was prepared, couldn't help but click her tongue in amazement.

"Jing'er, what are you thinking? If you're willing to join the Qingfu Sect, it would be a good thing," Elder Honggu said.

Hearing this, Wei Long felt quite envious. He looked at Wei Jing with a hint of melancholy in his eyes.

Wei Long, with dual spiritual roots of water and fire, was always overshadowed by his cousin Wei Jing, who had three spiritual roots.

The same thing happened in the arena battle against the Chu family back then, and now in the Suixu Secret Realm. Wei Jing stole the limelight, and the joke was all his own doing.

Now, thinking back to what he said when he first came out of the Suixu Secret Realm, he felt more and more ashamed.

"Sigh! I always feel like I'm living in Wei Jing's shadow." Wei Long sighed inwardly.

Wei Jing was also hesitant. Given his performance in the Suixu Secret Realm, if he stayed in the clan, he would definitely be treated as a key member and cultivated.

It's even quite possible that they could be groomed as the successor to the next clan leader.

Jade Stack Peak is too small, otherwise he wouldn't have spent fifty or sixty years searching for the Golden Elixir Method in the Suixu Secret Realm.

Without a doubt, the Qingfu Sect is a higher platform and a broader world.

"I'll think about it some more!" Wei Jing replied.

"Well, it's up to you to decide! But I hope you can go to the Qingfu Sect to cultivate. If you can successfully establish your foundation in the future and become an elder of the Qingfu Sect, your contribution to the family will be no less than if you stayed in the family." Wei Shuo said to Wei Jing.

"Yes! Chu Feibai of the Chu family successfully established his foundation at the Qingfu Sect," Elder Honggu echoed.

"Of course, if you want to stay in the clan, the clan will do its best to nurture you and fully support your foundation building," Wei Shuo added.

Wei Long, watching this scene from the side, was so envious he was speechless.

Before long, the flying boat landed steadily on Jade Stack Peak.

Let's put the matter of the Green Talisman Sect aside for now! The most important thing right now is to switch cultivation methods and practice the Wood-Earth Technique.

"Jing'er, Long'er, you have made great contributions this time, and the clan will not be stingy with rewards. Based on your respective performances, you will each receive 10,000 and 5,000 clan contribution points, respectively."

Upon hearing this, Wei Long's eyes lit up. Five thousand contributions from the clans—even with his large and powerful family, Wei Long was slightly shocked by the clan leader's generosity.

You should know that ordinary clansmen can only earn thirty or forty contribution points a month by diligently taking on clan tasks. He suddenly got five thousand contribution points, which is equivalent to ten years of hard work for others.

But then he suddenly remembered that Wei Jing had received 10,000 family contribution points, and he suddenly couldn't be happy anymore.

Sigh! Why am I always living in his shadow?

The family contribution of ten thousand yuan warmed Wei Jing's heart.

Now that he wouldn't lack pills for his closed-door cultivation and technique conversion, a smile appeared on Wei Jing's face.

"By the way, clan leader, I'm used to having a maidservant by my side, so please let Qiu Niang stay with me!" Wei Jing requested.

"Okay, I agree." Wei Shuo waved his hand dismissively, not caring about such a trivial matter.

The three parted ways on Jade Stack Peak. Wei Jing went straight home and first instructed Qiu Niang to prepare a table full of delicious food.

During his months at the Qingfu Sect, he really didn't get to eat anything good.

The Qingfu Sect is indeed impressive, with its celestial demeanor, but it's far too lax when it comes to food.

"Qiu Niang, prepare another table of fine wine and dishes tonight. I want to invite Elder Qingmu, Uncle, and Tiezhu to have a drink together."

"Okay!" Qiu Niang replied, but her face was full of worry, with an expression of wanting to say something but holding back.

"What's wrong?" Wei Jing asked, puzzled.

"Young Master, I may not be able to serve you anymore. The clan's steward came to urge me to leave the mountain a few days ago." Qiu Niang said, tears welling up in her eyes.

"It's alright, I've already spoken to the clan chief, you don't need to come down the mountain." Wei Jing waved his hand, he thought something serious had happened!

Qiu Niang was stunned. What did her young master mean by those words?

Have you spoken to the clan chief?

The clan leader is a Foundation Establishment cultivator, a Foundation Establishment ancestor.

When will our young master have the ability to get a word in with the clan leader?
