Chapter 28: Ancestor, I'm here to give you a gift

Jiang Yi raised his finger, and a small flame transformed into a human figure. He kept practicing the Mengshen Sect's entry-level body-building boxing at his fingertips, which was quite agile.

"How does it feel?"

"good, very good!"

After saying this, Jiang Yi bowed to the person in front of him and said, "Thank you, Palace Master Lan, for your care in protecting me."

"You have a good opportunity, but I'm afraid these Thousand Caves will be in chaos for many years." Lan Qushang sighed. He had watched the clouds in this cave more than once, but he didn't have any insights. When he reached the Melting Spirit Realm, every step was extremely difficult. Enlightenment was undoubtedly a shortcut.

The moment Jiang Yi came out of his state of enlightenment and expanded his spiritual consciousness, he already knew the changes in the Thousand Caves. Every cave was crowded with people practicing cultivation, and from time to time there would be fights over the ownership of the caves. Many people were seriously injured or even died.

"This is indeed a treasure land." Until now, Jiang Yi didn't know why he entered a state of enlightenment. The scene of setting sun triggered the unknown sound of scriptures, and what he realized was not the yin and yang, light and darkness, and time he had imagined.

But the result was good. This sudden realization gave him a deeper understanding of the law of fire, and he also completely mastered the related Taoist techniques inherited from the copycat version of the Tongtian Divine Fire Pillar.

As his understanding of the laws of fire deepened, his control over flames also increased. When he encountered first-grade warriors who had only cultivated the rudiments of fire-related martial arts, he might even be able to use his stronger control over the laws to strip away the flames that the opponent controlled with his will.

"Okay, pack up your gains and return to Shuicheng. Tomorrow is the official birthday banquet, and we will return to Shuangta Mountain after it." Lan Qushang didn't want to stay any longer. This kid from the Jiang family has never had a peaceful life since he came down the mountain. He was assassinated in Fengdusai, the martial arts conference was ruined, and finally he threw a bomb to the Lu family in the Thousand Caves.

Is this some special physique?

Hurry up and leave! When he returns to the mountain, he will never be a nanny for this kid again. He doesn't care about the Jiang family's favors. If he continues like this, he feels that he will be blamed sooner or later.

However, this kid is talented and has no shortage of opportunities. If he can enter the realm of Rongshen before the age of thirty, he may very well become another Jiang Mingde!

Looking at Deputy Hall Lan's leaving back, Jiang Yi looked at the sky again. He planned to wait for today's sunset before trying again.

The disciples of the Mengshen Sect were all in other caves, and people from various forces in the three states of the Southern Region were also there. After all, a "role model" had just been set, so how could anyone suppress the luck in their hearts?

But unfortunately, when Jiang Yi once again faced the unpredictable scene of sunset, nothing happened.

……

In the early morning, festive music was played in Jueshui City. Groups of women in colorful clothes danced to the music. The streets were lined with colorful ribbons. Merchants prepared a large number of small gifts of various kinds. Every passerby would be given one for free. With Lu's unremitting publicity, it attracted a large number of people to join in the fun.

The Lu's Manor was even more lively, with birthday celebration teams coming from all over, plus Lu's own family, totaling tens of thousands of people, but there was no chaos at all.

"Haha, Junior Brother Jiang, come on, let's have a drink!" Meng Laocai's eyes were a little vague. He raised his glass to urge Jiang Yi to drink. The smell of alcohol on his body made people wonder if he was still drunk from yesterday.

The younger generations of their sect have already brought birthday gifts to pay their respects to Patriarch Lu in person. The banquet is now arranged in a plum garden. As for the main venue, all the big guys of Rongshen are there, and there is no place for them.

Jiang Yi picked up the wine glass, feeling a little tired of socializing. He won ten treasures at the martial arts conference, and then had an epiphany in the Thousand Caves. His name had already spread throughout Jueshui City and was spreading to the entire southern region at a faster speed.

Whether it was for a purpose or not, the result was that many people wanted to make friends with him, and he became the protagonist of this small plum garden. Before they could even take a few bites of the delicacies in front of them, they had already drunk a bellyful of wine. "It is said that after the birthday celebration of Lu Laozu, several of our sects may form an exchange group to go to Shuangta Mountain. I will also apply for it. Then, you, Junior Brother Jiang, will be the host!" Pang Tianyun did not bear any grudge against Jiang Yi for being humiliated in the previous martial arts conference. Losing is losing. He tried his best. He admitted that he was not as skilled as others and would work hard to get back at them.

Just based on this point, he is stronger than Tang Ling. Maybe the final closure of the town was too much of a blow to Tang Ling, and he has been looking depressed these past few days.

"I will do my best to be a good host and will not let you brothers down." Jiang Yi said this, but he was secretly thinking in his heart whether he should run away early after returning. In his opinion, these social engagements are really a waste of time.

He still lacks nearly eight million cultivation points to get a copy of the Dinghai Shenzhen Pearl, and he doesn't know whether Lao Jiang will let him go to the Molten Hell Battlefield.

"Your eight pillars feel much stronger than ninth-rank treasures. It just so happens that I made a lot of money this time, so I'll go to your Mengshen Sect and order one. It will be worth it even if I have to wait for thirty to fifty years." Meng Laocai was completely drunk. On the day the martial arts conference ended, this guy booked the Tingsong Tower for three consecutive days, drinking from morning to night. He didn't even show up for the chaos in the Thousand Caves afterwards.

Jiang Yi still admires this group of lunatics who try to peek into their fate by using their wealth, but you can just do it on your own and don’t mess with me!
Now everyone thought that the Heaven-reaching Divine Fire Pillar was a product of the Hundred Refining Hall of the Dream God Sect. To put it bluntly, the exchange was to import new technology, but there was no new technology in the Hundred Refining Hall. When the time came, it would be reported to Lao Jiang, and Lao Jiang would pass it on to him. But the problem was that even if another thirty or fifty years passed, he would not be able to refine a copycat version of the Heaven-reaching Divine Fire Pillar with his level of refining.

The birthday party lasted from morning to night, with music changing one after another. Everyone was very happy, at least on the surface.

Lu Chong just drank the wine silently. He could no longer gain more support in the three states of the southern region. The Lu family had been retreating again and again in the interests of Jueshui City, and even the Thousand Caves would no longer be involved in the future, leaving it to the Three Saints Sect, Wuhen Sect, Ruyi Gate and Yuanbao Sect to distribute.

They will take a day off tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow they will return to Shuangta Mountain. He will not return to Water City for a long, long time, a hundred years, two hundred years, or maybe even longer.

When he comes back again, the Lu family will surely rise again!

Lu Chong looked at the scattered stars in the night sky and swore secretly in his heart!

"Huh?" Jiang Yi, who was a little dazed from drinking, was instantly awakened by the strong smell of blood. Even Meng Laocai, who had already climbed down, jumped up at this moment.

"what happened?"

"Where does the smell of blood come from?"

The Plum Garden was in chaos for a moment. Jiang Yi instantly flashed to his sister's side. The little girl's face was red and she was talking nonsense.

"Don't be nervous, everyone. I'm sure there will be news soon. With the ancestor here, no one can act recklessly in the Lu's manor!" Lu Chong stood up with a grim face to maintain order. He never expected that someone would dare to cause trouble in the Lu's manor on the ancestor's birthday.

No matter who it is, he must die!
Although the ancestor is old, as long as he has not fallen, he is still the god of war who roams the battlefields of the two worlds. Lu Chong firmly believes this!
The main venue of the birthday banquet is Qionghua Terrace.

There were a group of powerful God-Melting warriors sitting here. They had noticed the abnormality earlier, but they just turned their eyes to the birthday boy Lu Anping who was sitting in the upper seat. After all, this was the territory of the Lu family, and even if something happened, it would not be their turn to take action.

At this moment, a man with hair as gray as dead grass and a hunched body walked slowly towards him. When he arrived in front of the Qionghua Terrace, he raised his head and a bright smile appeared on his old face.

"Ancestor, I'm here to give you a gift. Is it not too late?"
