Chapter 1947 The Mountain Gate Opens
When Qu Jianlei and Li Yuren arrived at the Yanjiafang City teleportation array, Yan Xuemin was already waiting there.
After all, they were two True Immortals dispatched, so no one dared to ignore them. “Greetings, two Supreme Immortals. Where are you going?”
He had already made up his mind that no matter where these two went, he would follow them - this was definitely a big deal!
Qu Jianlei would not stop him, and Li Yuren could not say anything, after all, the Yan family was still Cuiping Mountain's partner.
The three of them arrived at the Ji family, and Qu Jianlei directly reported his origins, "Qu Jianlei from Hongye Ridge, seeking to see the Immortal Ji Xiaohua."
The originally peaceful Ji family suddenly became like a boiling pot. Inside the Ji family, countless people were running back and forth quickly.
The Ji family has very strict rules, so outsiders generally cannot feel this kind of hustle and bustle, and it still feels quiet.
But who are Qu Jianlei and Li Yuren? Even without releasing his spiritual sense, he could sense the abnormality inside.
Li Yuren couldn't help but sigh, "Hongyeling's reputation is comparable to that of a great master who has reached the state of leaving the body."
"Not even close." Qu Jianlei shook his head slightly. "Why does leaving the body need a reputation? It is majestic and omnipresent!"
Hearing this, Li Yuren couldn't help but ask again, "Daoyou, have you met the Immortal Lord?"
Qu Jianlei hesitated for a moment and replied, "I really want to say I haven't seen it, but I don't want to lie to you."
"I understand," Li Yuren nodded and fell into silence.
Although he was also born in Dongsheng, he had only been in the Nascent Soul stage for a short time. Even though he knew that the Out-of-Body Experience was out of reach, he still had the dream in his heart.
So at this moment, in addition to shock, there was also a little bit of anticipation in his heart: When will I be able to see the Great Master?
Although it is a little more difficult to achieve the Great Venerable, but to meet the Great Venerable... there is still some hope, right?
He was thinking for an unknown amount of time when he suddenly felt a fluctuation in the energy ahead.
He looked carefully and was surprised to find that the gate of Ji family was opened, and then five-colored auspicious clouds floated out from the gate.
Welcoming guests with auspicious clouds is the highest level of courtesy among the immortal cultivation forces in Dongsheng.
The three of them stepped onto the auspicious cloud, Qu Jianlei and Li Yuren stood in front - the latter was slightly three or four centimeters behind him.
As for Yan Xuemin, at first he didn't have the courage to step onto the auspicious cloud.
Finally, it was Qu Jianlei who spoke up, "You came here together, come up too."
After hearing these words, he stepped onto the auspicious cloud tremblingly, but he only dared to stand timidly at the very end.
When they stepped onto the auspicious clouds, a misty air slowly rose and the sound of stringed instruments could be heard from all around.
In Dongsheng Continent, guests are welcomed with music such as stringed instruments and bamboo instruments; the sounds of metal and stone are mostly used in battles.
On the left and right of the auspicious clouds are two golden elixirs, a man and a woman.
Outside the golden elixir, there were four foundation-building practitioners and sixteen Qi-refining practitioners divided into two rows, still half male and half female.
But it is obvious that this is not the full strength of the Ji family.
Further ahead, there is a colorful corridor with thirty-six foundations on both sides of the corridor.
Further ahead is a yellow arch bridge, which is the highest etiquette of the Ji family - the Wu Ji Earth Arch Bridge.
The Ji family's zodiac sign is earth, and this level of etiquette is used to receive distinguished guests from Zhongzhou or the leaders of the twelve major forces.
On both sides of the arch bridge stood eight golden elixirs, respectfully watching the three people on the colorful clouds.
At this moment, Yan Xuemin felt honored and devastated. This... really has nothing to do with me.
After getting off the arch bridge, there was a luxurious cloud chariot in front of us, pulled by two golden elixir beasts.
There was a person standing in front of the cloud chariot, it was Ji Xiaohua, and behind him were two young foundation-building masters and eight Qi-refining female servants.
He raised his hand and stepped down from the cloud chariot, laughing loudly, "Haha, it is an honor for Master Qu Ling and his friends to visit my humble home."
Bring friends... Li Yuren glanced at Yan Xuemin and said, "We actually get the same treatment."
In his previous life on Blue Star, Qu Jianlei had seen the state guest procession. In terms of uniformity, the Ji family was far inferior.
At the scene, the Ji family members who came to welcome the guests did not stand in a very neat line, and some of them were even whispering.
But this is not surprising. Immortal cultivators originally focused on improving individual combat capabilities, and there are too many unruly people.
It can be imagined that having such a welcoming scene is already extremely solemn.
He really couldn't stand this scene, so he just smiled and answered.
"If the Ji family is a humble abode, then my Red Leaf Ridge is just a thatched nest, right?"
Then he raised his hand, and small wooden shields flew towards the people who came to greet him. "It's my first visit, so I'll give you a little gift."
All the people who came to welcome them had a share. The Jindan level would get a Yuanying level wooden shield, and everyone below the Jindan level was at the Jindan level.
There was no way. Although the Tree Clan also had the foundation-building cultivation level, how could Qu Jianlei look down on those people?
That is, when he first started researching how to make the wooden shield, he used the materials from the Foundation Establishment Period and tried his hand several times.
After that, he started making wooden shields using Jindan-grade materials, and in order to practice, he made a large number of Jindan wooden shields.
He brought too much of this material, and because it was inconvenient to carry, the team gave up a lot of scraps when they were in the league.
However, even after practicing so many times, his weapon-refining skills were still widely ridiculed.
Qu Jianlei didn't know that others evaluated him like this, but even if he knew, he wouldn't care.
Because his original intention in making the wooden shield was to rely on the defense of the material itself.
He has too many of these things, so he might as well just recycle them. There's no need to be too elaborate.
He really didn't expect that the tolerance of the immortal world towards alien races was much higher than that of the technological society, and they attached great importance to these materials themselves.
But now it's too late to say this, the wooden shield that has already been made cannot be restored.
Qu Jianlei has never had a very good sense of security, and the number of productions is really quite large.
Of course, there are more unused remains of the Tree Clan. After all, too many Tree Clan members were killed, and they also thought that they might be able to sell them in the world of immortal cultivation.
No matter how you look at it, giving everyone a wooden shield is... quite a generous move.
However, the rules of the Ji family are not just for show.
The Ji family members did not dare to let the wooden shields fall to the ground, and Qu Jianlei threw out the wooden shields with just enough force for everyone to receive one.
But no matter who it was, after taking the wooden shield with both hands, they held it upright in their hands and no one put it away.
At this moment, time seemed to have stopped. The scene was completely silent, with only the sound of stringed instruments continuing.
After a few breaths of time in such weirdness, an elderly Jindan finally spoke loudly.
"Thank you for your generous gift, ancestor. I am ashamed to accept it without any merit. Please take it back!"
Am I... the ancestor? Qu Jianlei's mind was slightly dazed.
However, he had some understanding of the clan rules in Shenzhou of Blue Star, so he looked at Ji Xiaohua and spoke with a smile.
"Fellow Daoist Xiaohua, I have taken out everything. As the ancestor, please tell me something."
"Ahem," Ji Xiaohua coughed lightly, then waved his hand and said calmly, "Put it away. Why don't you thank Elder Qu?"
"Thank you, Elder Qu, for your generous gift," everyone shouted in unison, their voices resounding through the sky.
Although it was not very uniform, the sound was loud enough that it could probably be heard dozens of kilometers outside the mountain gate.
Qu Jianlei later found out that such a loud voice of thanks for the reward was extremely rare even in the Ji family.
The Ji family is a dignified family. Why do we need others to reward us?
Shouting so loudly now is also to inform the outside world that the two families have a good relationship and that Patriarch Qu is quite capable.
As a family that has been passed down for tens of thousands of years, there are really too many rules and regulations.
At least after Qu Jianlei found out about it, he couldn't help but secretly feel lucky: Fortunately, the gift he brought out was quite acceptable.
Otherwise, just with this shout, I, as the "ancestor", would be embarrassed.
In fact, Ji Xiaohua also noticed that the thing Qu Jianlei took out seemed to have some meaning.
The three of them sat down in Ji Xiaohua's cave, and the maids beside them served them tea and dried fruits.
After some pleasantries, Ji Xiaohua finally spoke up, "Although it may be a bit rude, I still want to ask a question."
"The magic weapon that Fellow Daoist Qu just took out seems to be made of extraordinary material?"
Qu Jianlei took out another wooden shield and handed it to the other party, saying with a smile, "Daoyou, can you give me a look?"
Ji Xiaohua took it, looked at it over and over again, sensed it with his spiritual sense, and then handed the wooden shield back.
Then he casually asked, "Has your teacher ever attacked the Locust World?"
"Oh my god..." Li Yuren muttered secretly, and the only remaining doubt in his heart disappeared. It really is a world of locusts.
It is said that those big families have been passed down for a long time, and there are some things that you really can't accept.
He believed that at least half of the twelve families currently dominating Dongsheng would not recognize the origin of the wooden shield, let alone the locust world.
Qu Jianlei smiled and did not take the wooden shield, letting the other party put it on the table, "Could it not be that the commander got it by chance?"
"That's probably not the case," Ji Xiaohua said confidently, "If there hadn't been an attack, there wouldn't have been so many."
The accidental income would certainly not be much, so how could it withstand such a lavish distribution?
We can also hear from this sentence that he has a high opinion of the wooden shield - at least he has a high opinion of the material.
"Haha," Qu Jianlei smiled and answered vaguely, "The locust world... is more difficult."
"Well," Ji Xiaohua nodded, hesitated for a moment and asked again, "The mother tree... is it difficult to fight?"
"Huh?" Qu Jianlei looked at him in surprise, "You actually know this?"
"Who are you looking down on?" Ji Xiaohua said sternly, "The Out-of-Body Mother Tree is really hard to fight. It is said that even a Great Venerable cannot defeat it."
"It's not impossible to take down the Great Venerable," Qu Jianlei answered carefully, "It's mainly because there are too many alien forests around."
"You do know it," Ji Xiaohua nodded and looked at Li Yuren again.
He originally wanted to ask more questions, but with outsiders present, it seemed a bit inappropriate.
So he asked Qu Jianlei what the purpose of his visit was. When he heard that he just wanted to give him some wooden shields, he couldn't help but smile.
Then the two of them, along with Li Yuren, chatted for a while about the current situation of Dongsheng.
The focus of discussion was on the death of Master Huai Heng and whether the inner demon was related to the heavenly demon.
