Upon seeing this, Qi Wuyou’s pupils narrowed, and his face bore a slightly serious expression as he began to speak.
However, just as he started, he saw the unfamiliar young man gently remove two talismans from his chest, and then suddenly transform into a young cultivator who seed sowhat familiar, with a hint of Foundation Establishnt Early Stage pressure emanating from him.
Witnessing such a scene, Qi Wuyou was first astonished by the other party’s transformation. Previously, it was the two talismans that had prevented him from perceiving any change. What grade are these talismans exactly?
But in the next mont, when Qi Wuyou’s gaze fell on the other’s face, he no longer cared about the opponent’s talismans or cultivation realm. Instead, he looked at the other party in shock and spoke with disbelief.
"You... you are... Qi Chuan?"
As a Foundation Establishnt Cultivator, Qi Wuyou’s mory was remarkable. He had seen Qi Chuan during the selection for the Wind Moon Sect’s Inner Sect spots and naturally could not easily forget him. Now seeing Qi Chuan, he finally recognized him, even though the latter’s appearance had changed a lot, resembling a young man.
But precisely because he recognized him, he was even more shocked in his heart.
Qi Chuan was supposed to have fallen in the Secret Realm Space, wasn’t he? This was news personally delivered by the Wind Moon Sect and couldn’t be false. But why is Qi Chuan appearing in front of now?
Could it be an illusion?
Qi Wuyou wiped his eyes and even channeled a trace of mana across them, but the young-looking Qi Chuan remained suspended in the void ahead.
"Qi Chuan, greetings, Clan Leader." Gazing at Clan Leader Qi Wuyou, Qi Chuan clasped his fists and said.
"Is it really you?" Upon hearing Qi Chuan’s words, Qi Wuyou seed incredulous: "Weren’t you... fallen in the Secret Realm Space?"
"This was the Sect Leader’s idea, using the pretense of my death for to escape being the target of many..." Qi Chuan explained as he had before to Second Uncle.
He then took out his Qi Family token and Wind Moon Sect Elder token to show Qi Wuyou, saying, "I ca back this ti to prevent my feigned death from causing too much disturbance to the family, reporting to the Clan Leader that I am safe."
Seeing the authenticity of these tokens, Qi Wuyou finally believed that Qi Chuan hadn’t died and was indeed alive.
Accepting this fact, his initial astonishnt and doubt were replaced by imnse joy.
Qi Chuan’s return signified the Qi Family’s return to having two Foundation Establishnt Cultivators.
This almost directly doubled the strength of the Qi Family.
Though for now, this was still in secret and could not be openly displayed, but what of it?
Qi Chuan would sooner or later "resurrect" again.
With this confidence, he could strategize to minimize the losses brought by Qi Chuan’s feigned death and, thereafter, when Qi Chuan "resurrects" again, all the honor and benefits due to having two Foundation Establishnt Cultivators would return to the Qi Family.
"Great! This is truly wonderful! Qi Chuan... no, Fellow Daoist Qi, please enter my Cave Mansion for a detailed conversation!"
A broad smile spread across Qi Wuyou’s old face as he unlocked the array enclosing the Cave Mansion, warmly inviting Qi Chuan inside.
"Uh, Clan Leader, you can just call Qi Chuan. After all, I am from the Qi Family..." Qi Chuan said.
"No matter, one should be addressed as a Fellow Daoist when the ti cos. You coming back this ti has cald my nerves!" Qi Wuyou laughed heartily.
At this mont, the regrets and worries in his heart were completely dispelled.
"Alright." Qi Chuan could only accept, and together with Qi Wuyou, they entered the Cave Mansion.
Inside the Cave Mansion, Qi Wuyou and Qi Chuan sat across each other at a stone table, and Qi Wuyou personally brewed spirit tea for Qi Chuan as they drank and chatted.
Qi Wuyou discussed so issues concerning the Qi Family, both internally and externally, with Qi Chuan.
While Qi Chuan spoke of Wind Moon Sect matters.
Throughout the process, Qi Wuyou was extrely pleased.
Speaking of which, Qi Chuan, this raw jade, can be considered picked by himself. Since the latter entered the Foundation Establishnt Realm, it was Qi Wuyou’s first ti witnessing Qi Chuan’s Foundation Establishnt cultivation.
Now, in the Red Maple Valley spiritual land of the Qi Family, there were truly two Foundation Establishnt Great Cultivators!
After a round of pleasant conversation, Qi Wuyou suddenly rembered sothing and said to Qi Chuan, "By the way, Fellow Daoist Qi, having entered the Foundation Establishnt, your need for cultivation resources must be growing. Let take you to the Qi Family’s Treasure Vault, feel free to choose whatever you fancy. This is a gesture from and the Qi Family."
"Clan Leader, there’s no need for that, right? You also need resource supply for your cultivation, and the Qi Family isn’t wealthy, needing resource turnover..." Upon hearing this, Qi Chuan shook his head and said.
"No."
However, hearing these words, Qi Wuyou imdiately shook his head: "You and I are different. Given my own potential, it is basically impossible for my current cultivation to advance further within the Foundation Establishnt, so my need for cultivation resources is actually not significant."
"And though the Qi Family is not wealthy, investing these resources in you, once your cultivation advances, will bring multiplied benefits to the Qi Family. This is the best choice for the Qi Family."
"Therefore, you should accept."
Upon hearing Qi Wuyou’s reasoning, Qi Chuan thought it over and found he could not refute, so he nodded and said, "Alright then, let’s make a trip to the Treasure Vault."
"That’s the spirit." Seeing Qi Chuan agree, Qi Wuyou smiled.
In any cultivation clan, Foundation Establishnt Great Cultivators are always of utmost importance.
To maximize the benefits of cultivation resources in the clan, there are generally two choices.
Either concentrate them on the Foundation Establishnt Great Cultivators to strengthen the family’s protectors, or disperse them among the clan mbers to give talented clan mbers a chance at reaching the Foundation Establishnt.
Looking at the current situation of the Qi Family, concentrating resources on Qi Chuan is undoubtedly the best choice.
Thus, the two of them set off, leaving Qi Wuyou’s Tier One Upper Grade Cave Mansion for the Qi Family Treasure Vault.
The location of this Qi Family Treasure Vault was also on the Main Peak but situated differently, similarly enveloped by the family array, so the two quickly arrived.
On the way, Qi Wuyou first acted to move so people away, ensuring they entered the Treasure Vault without anyone knowing.
Opening the vault, they entered, and Qi Chuan saw what resembled a tight, secure basent. Inside the vault, various cultivation resource items filled a dozen or so rows of shelves.
Spirit Stones, Elixirs, Spirit Grass materials, Talismans, Magical Artifacts...there was no shortage of these items.
However, the quantity was sparse, and the grade was not high.
The majority were Tier One Lower Grade and Middle Grade cultivation resource items. Tier One Upper Grade items were already quite rare, while Tier One Top Grade and Tier Two Lower Grade were even scarcer, incomparable to the Wind Moon Sect.
From the scenes within this vault, it was evident the Qi Family was indeed not wealthy.
Nevertheless, even though not wealthy, Qi Wuyou still willingly opened the vault and allowed selection, showcasing his regard for Qi Chuan, driven by the latter’s cultivation and potential. This sentint was sothing Qi Chuan had to acknowledge.
"Fellow Daoist Qi, please!" Qi Wuyou gestured towards Qi Chuan, allowing him to begin selecting.
Since he was already here, Qi Chuan did not hesitate to move around the vault.
Passing by the shelves laden with resources, he selected cultivation resource items and placed them into the Qiankun Bag at his waist.
Qi Chuan naturally paid no mind to elixirs, magical artifacts, and talismans that were of no help to him at his current stage.
He also did not take any Spirit Stones.
However, when it ca to spirit grass materials required for refining Yellow Dragon Pill, Qi Chuan unhesitatingly stored them in his Qiankun Bag upon sight.
Currently, Qi Chuan was at the Foundation Establishnt Early Stage, with a total of fourteen drops of liquid magical power, still quite distant from the Foundation Establishnt Middle Stage, needing the support of the Yellow Dragon Pill.
Though sparse in quantity and grade, this vault indeed held a small portion of the necessary spirit grass materials for Yellow Dragon Pill refinent.
