In the twinkling of an eye, a year passed in such a hurry.


    Yunbi peak is still immersed in peace and tranquility.


    Shen Ruiling and clan leader Shen huanchi still did not appear in front of the people, but the rest of the Shen people were not idle and were making continuous progress under the encouragement of the new clan policy.


    Generally speaking, there is a thriving scene on the Yunbi peak at this time.


    ……


    In the southwest of Linhai County, there is a large green bamboo sea, surrounded by which stands a towering Lingshan mountain.


    On this Lingshan mountain, there are all kinds of emerald green low-level Lingzhu, extending directly from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain, just like a emerald green ocean.


    Bamboo is the thing that gathers Qi and spirit.


    This continuous sea of spiritual bamboo naturally gathers and hides the aura of heaven and earth within a hundred miles.


    In addition, the Lingzhu sea itself is located on a third-order Lingshan mountain, which makes the Lingqi here extremely rich.


    Those who can occupy such blessed land in Linhai county will not be ordinary Qi training families.


    On the periphery of the hundred mile bamboo sea, there stands a huge stone, on which a weather beaten big character is written.


    Du!


    Yes, this is the family land of Du family, one of the four families in Linhai county.


    The Du family, one of the few old base building families in Linhai County, has been established for 800 years.


    Eight hundred years ago, the ancestors of the Du family were lucky to have been inherited by a third-order refining master and successfully promoted to become a third-order refining master.


    After the intrigues in the immortal cultivation world, the ancestors of the Du family decided to leave Pingzhou, which was already prosperous, and came to this desolate and remote Linhai county.


    Shortly after coming to Linhai County, the ancestor of the Du family successfully killed a third-order monster in the southwest, and created the Millennium foundation of the Du family on the third-order spirit mountain occupied by the third-order monster.


    Relying on the inheritance of the third-order weapon refining inherited by our ancestors, there will be a third-order weapon refining master in the Du family every hundred years.


    In this relatively backward Linhai County, the third-order spirit tools are hard to find, so the Du family naturally established a foothold in Linhai County by relying on their ability to refine tools.


    In short, the Du family has indeed been brilliant in these 800 years of history, and there has been the feat of "one door and four foundations".


    At that time, the Du family once overtook the Chen family and the Li family and became the first family in Linhai county.


    However, up to now, the Du family has indeed declined.


    In the Du family today, there is obviously only the last foundation building friar left, that is, Du Wenfu, the patriarch who is more than 220 years old.


    It can be said that the Du family has become the weakest of the four families in Linhai county.


    Had it not been for the remaining prestige of Du Wenfu, the peak friar in the middle of foundation construction, the Du family would have been pulled down from the seats of the four families.


    However, as Du Wenfu is getting old day by day, the situation of the Du family is becoming more and more difficult.


    If the Du family still hasn''t trained a new foundation building friar to run the family before Du Wenfu''s sitting, the Du family will follow the Shen family''s footsteps.


    Therefore, in recent years, in order to cultivate a new foundation building friar as soon as possible, so as to ensure that he can still continue the inheritance of the family after sitting, Du Wenfu has completely put down his old face and fought for his old life.


    In order to get the rewards of Qingyun sect, Du Wenfu kept paying attention to Zuo Canglang and killed the "life-threatening scholar" of the same rank.


    The purpose of his doing so is just to ask Qingyun gate for a foundation pill so that future generations can build the foundation smoothly.


    ……


    At this time, in a secret room on the Lingshan mountain covered by bamboo sea, an old man was waiting there restlessly.


    The old man has white hair and beard. He looks very old, but the breath from him is extremely powerful. He is a monk at the peak of the middle period of foundation building.


    However, after feeling it carefully, you can clearly find that the vigorous breath of the old man has been mixed with a lingering spirit of hard cultivation.


    That''s right. This man is Du Wenfu, the only surviving foundation building friar of the Du family.


    At this time, Du Wenfu stared closely at the closed stone door of the secret room. In addition to his anxiety, there was a strong look of expectation in his eyes.


    Because he knows that this is his last chance!


    As time went on, Du Wenfu became more and more anxious.


    During this period, he tried to break into the secret room several times, but finally gave up and chose to wait.


    A few hours later, the closed stone door of the secret room finally opened slowly, and a stream of dust rose from the secret room.


    After noticing the movement of the stone gate, Du Wenfu immediately cast his eyes on the past and hurried forward to find out.


    However, before he approached, a human shadow came out slowly in the dust.


    "Mingjun!"


    Seeing the figure, Du Wenfu immediately shouted excitedly.


    When his divine sense noticed the smell of the friars in the early days of foundation construction from the figure, Du Wenfu''s emotions that had been suppressed for many years finally burst out, and suddenly burst into tears.


    "Grandpa, Juner succeeded!"


    Looking at Du Wenfu, who was already in tears, the figure slowly comforted him.


    This voice is gentle and crisp, like the spring in the mountains!


    ……


    In the cave in the mountains behind Yunbi peak, Shen Ruiling still sat motionless on the Pu mat.


    Under the traction of [Sanyuan zhuanlei Jue], the rich spiritual power in the cave constantly penetrated Shen Ruiling''s body, and then was refined into his Dantian a little.


    In the Dantian, the three different color cyclones are rotating rapidly, absorbing the spiritual power flowing into the Dantian, transforming it into drops of spiritual liquid and dropping down.


    At this time, the holy liquid at the bottom of Shen Ruiling''s Dantian was almost half full.


    ……


    I don''t know how long it took.


    Suddenly, the voice jade symbol in Shen Ruiling''s sleeve lit up again.


    Aware of this change, he slowly withdrew from the cultivation state and opened his closed eyes.


    A mouthful of turbid Qi slowly vomited out. Shen Ruiling first felt the cultivation condition in his body carefully, and then took out the jade amulet in his sleeve.


    After seeing the dazzling white light, Shen Ruiling stood up directly from the Pu mat.


    With a wave of his right hand, he opened the dusty stone gate, and then went straight out.


    Shen Ruiling, who came out of the cave, looked up at the red sun above her head and couldn''t help but relax.


    After looking at the cave for a while, Shen Ruiling immediately swept towards the family council hall.


    When she came to the conference hall, Shen Ruiling found that the fourth elder Shen Huanyan had been waiting here for a long time.


    Seeing Shen Ruiling''s arrival, Shen Huanyan immediately stood up from his seat, then took out a red jade slip from his sleeve and handed it to Shen Ruiling.


    "This is the invitation sent by the Du family yesterday. We are invited to Mianzhu mountain in three days to participate in their foundation building ceremony!"
