Chapter 32: Chapter 32: Transmission, Ji Yunfan’s Shock
Zhang Zhilong clearly reacted at this moment.
He looked at his clan uncle with a complicated expression.
Although he said nothing, Zhang Mingyuan could clearly feel a strange sense of distance coming between them.
This made him inexplicably anxious, and he hurriedly wanted to explain.
But before he could speak, Zhou Feng, standing beside him, tugged on Zhang Zhilong and said:
"Junior Brother Zhilong, the matter is settled now, let’s return to the sect."
With that, Zhou Feng took Zhang Zhilong and walked past Zhang Mingyuan.
Zhang Mingyuan wanted to stop them, but was forced back by Zhou Feng’s sharp gaze.
It wasn’t until their figures completely disappeared into the distance that Zhang Mingyuan realized what had just happened.
So Zhilong, he has opinions about them now.
Upon realizing this, Zhang Mingyuan felt extremely frustrated.
He couldn’t help but cast a venomous glance in the direction of the Ji Family in the distance before reluctantly heading back toward the Zhang Family’s Dongming Mountain.
At the same time.
Ji Family, Qianyang Mountain.
In the original guest hall.
Ji Haoyuan looked at Ji Bochang and, after some thought, said:
"Forefather, although we have sent Zhou Feng and Zhang Zhilong away this time, it probably hurt their pride.
Although they won’t trouble our Ji Family for some time,
In the long run, we can’t guarantee they won’t remember today’s incident.
Especially Zhang Zhilong.
Though a member of the Zhang Clan, this situation might cause some rifts between him and the Zhang Family.
But as long as the Zhang Family is willing to humble themselves and appeal to emotions and reason, their relationship might be mended.
By then, once Zhang Zhilong advances his cultivation, today’s matter might become a reason for him to act against our Ji Family."
Upon hearing Ji Haoyuan’s analysis, the clan leader Ji Yunfan showed a hint of worry on his face.
Ji Bochang nodded.
"You are right, Haoyuan. Although our Ji Family has navigated through this trouble, we’ve planted a hidden danger."
"Therefore, I think..."
Ji Haoyuan spoke again.
"Only by enhancing our Ji Family’s overall strength can we avoid all future troubles."
As he said this, Ji Haoyuan looked at Ji Yunfan before continuing to Ji Bochang:
"Forefather, I believe that cultivation technique should be passed on to Yunfan."
"Uh..."
Ji Haoyuan’s words left Ji Yunfan stunned.
He didn’t quite understand what cultivation technique Ji Haoyuan was referring to.
Ji Bochang also didn’t expect Ji Haoyuan to make such a suggestion.
However, after pondering it carefully, he nodded.
"Alright.
But, Yunfan, you will need to swear an oath to the Heart Demon, ensuring that you won’t pass this cultivation technique to anyone else other than yourself.
Moreover, this technique can only be passed on to the clan leader for cultivation in the future.
Haoyuan, what do you think?"
"I think that’s acceptable."
Ji Haoyuan nodded in agreement.
He understood the reason behind Ji Bochang’s caution.
The Cyan Wood Evergreen Technique involves Golden Core level content.
Theoretically, cultivating the Cyan Wood Evergreen Technique gives about a five percent chance of achieving Core Formation with it.
Anything concerning Core Formation, no matter how small, becomes a significant matter.
At that time, those eyeing our Ji Family may not be small figures like the Zhang Family or Zhang Zhilong.
Even the Golden Core True Men from the Crimson Sunset Sect might be alarmed.
As for the reason it’s only passed to the clan leader and not other elders or senior members,
it’s simple.
Having more people involved increases the risk of leaks.
Moreover, among the elders, no one can ensure that they do not have selfish motives.
If someone secretly passed the technique to his own descendants, it would be a significant problem.
The clan leader serves as the core of the family.
Anyone in this position must prioritize the family’s interests above all else, demonstrating absolute loyalty to the family.
This extent of loyalty even surpasses that to one’s own family members.
Passing the technique to such a person means there’s no need to worry about them intentionally leaking it.
If the day ever comes when even the clan leader betrays the family, then the family is likely beyond hope.
At this moment.
Ji Yunfan swore a vow not to leak the Cyan Wood Evergreen Technique as per Ji Bochang’s request.
Only then did Ji Bochang turn to Ji Haoyuan and say:
"Haoyuan, since you created and improved this technique, you should be the one to pass it to Yunfan."
Upon hearing this, Ji Haoyuan did not refuse.
He understood the thorough considerations of Ji Bochang.
He then pointed a finger at Ji Yunfan.
All information concerning the Cyan Wood Evergreen Technique surged into Ji Yunfan’s mind instantly.
Once Ji Yunfan absorbed the information, his face showed a mix of shock and disbelief.
This technique...
No wonder, no wonder...
No wonder the forefather and uncle were so cautious. It’s truly... truly...
Ji Yunfan couldn’t find words to describe his feelings.
If he switched to cultivating this technique, even at Foundation Establishment, he might have a twenty percent chance of success in the future.
Most importantly, transitioning to the Cyan Wood Evergreen Technique doesn’t require a complicated or lengthy process.
It only requires gradually converting the original Cyan Wood Longevity Technique’s Magical Power to the Cyan Wood Evergreen Technique’s Magical Power.
With that in mind, Ji Yunfan looked toward Ji Haoyuan with admiration and gratitude, then bowed deeply:
"Yunfan thanks Uncle for the teaching!"
"No need for such formality."
Ji Haoyuan raised him up with a smile:
"Your dedication to our Ji Family over the years has been evident.
We, both I and the forefather, are very aware of your contributions.
Keep cultivating well, and when the time comes, I will strive to obtain a Foundation Establishment Pill for you."
This was a thought he had long held.
A family cannot rely solely on himself and Ji Bochang.
The clan needs fresh blood to rise up.
This is necessary for him and for the continuation of the entire family.
So.
His promise wasn’t empty but sincerely intended.
Next.
Ji Haoyuan and Ji Bochang encouraged Ji Yunfan once again.
After Ji Yunfan left, Ji Bochang turned to Ji Haoyuan and said solemnly:
"Haoyuan, you mentioned seeking a Foundation Establishment Pill for Yunfan, is this true?"
"Yes."
Ji Haoyuan nodded.
"You are well aware of the current situation within the Crimson Sunset Sect, forefather.
At this moment, our foremost goal is to improve our family’s overall strength as much as possible.
No enhancement in family strength is better than having another Foundation Establishment cultivator in the family."
