Big Bodhi

Ji Yue Nian glanced at the several side family elders, and before he could speak, those few people all slightly lowered their heads.

“This matter has been decided, no more words are needed.”

Ji Bugui’s face was incomparably excited, and even his voice trembled a little: “Family Head, this …… this ……”

After Ji Luohai and Xu Jianghe and the others dragged Ji Hong and Ji Xixue down, they returned at this time with many of the Ji family’s house guards under the hall doors of the Zhenhai Grand Hall.

Ji Yue Nian raised his steps towards the ancestral shrine of the Ji family in the back hall of the Zhenhai Grand Hall, and his voice came from afar: “Ji Luohai, Xu Jianghe, from now on, the two of you will fully protect Ji Bugui, the in charge of the Ji family.”

Several people were all directly frozen in place.

A few breaths later, all the gazes of the people in the Ji family gathered on Ji Bugui.

Ji Bugui was a little nervous, he had never imagined that he could go from being an unappreciated fourth son of a concubine to the head of a cultivation family!

With several cultivation families ruling the ancient city of Tai Chu, 80% of the annual spiritual tax paid by hundreds of thousands of mortals in the ancient city of Tai Chu was divided among the cultivation families, so the resources a cultivation family head could control and it could be imagined!

At this moment, not only the four houses of the main lineage of the Ji family, but also the people of the side lines of the Ji family could not help but feel a little numb, in just one night, the head of the Ji family had changed three times in succession.

If this had not just happened before their eyes, no one would have believed such a bizarre event.

Only a middle-aged man from the fourth house, with a happy face, came forward and said: “Greetings, family head!”

This man was the father of Ji Bugui, who had usually treated his concubine’s son coldly, but at this moment Ji Bugui was directly seated on the family head’s throne, which was a great surprise to him.

Xu Jianghe and Ji Luohai glanced at each other and both arched their hands towards Ji Bugui, saying, “Greetings, family head.”

One after another, people from the Ji family bowed to Ji Bugui, but most of them just made a perfunctory gesture.

Ji Luo Hai, as the only one from the Ji Family who had entered the Xuan Realm, looked around at the thousands of people in the Ji Family and suddenly had a hint of ambition in his heart.

However, after a moment, he forced himself to suppress this thought. The light of Ji Yue Nian’s sword was still vaguely in front of his eyes, and he was lucky to have escaped with his life.

Thinking of this, Ji Luo Hai set his mind on it and used his Xuan Power to say loudly: “From now on, the order of the family head is a golden rule. If anyone dares to do something fishy behind the scenes, don’t blame me for being merciless!”

With these words, the people of the Ji family were obviously more enthusiastic, bowing their heads towards Ji Bugui.

Ji Bugui was still a bit at a loss, and after standing there for a long time, he forced himself to settle down and said to Xu Jianghe: “Commander Xu Jianghe, please bring someone to repair the Zhenhai Grand Hall and the several sub-halls.”

Xu Jianghe first glanced at Ji Luohai before he arched his hand towards Ji Bugui and said, “Head of the family is too polite, if you want to give an order, just call me by my name, there is no need to say the word please.”

Ji Bugui subconsciously nodded and said, “Good.”

The Zhenhai Hall was already riddled with holes after the repeated ripples.

The ancestral shrine of the Ji family.

When Ji Yue Nian stepped into the quiet and spacious hall, he saw hundreds of memorial tablets, all of which had been used by the ancestors of the Ji family to ignite the fire of their hearts.

He did not stay in the main hall for long, but went straight to the side hall, where the Ji family’s treasury was located.

The treasury hall room is not big, but also has a full twenty pieces of various colours of magic treasures arranged in it, but these are all ordinary magic treasures, none of them can be comparable to the spirit magic treasure edict spirit ebony sword.

The value of an ordinary magic treasure was probably between two and three Yuan stones, while the value of a spiritual magic treasure was at least a hundred Yuan stones!

Yuan stones are so precious that the majority of mortal people have never even seen one in their lifetime. Even the Ji family, one of the cultivation families that ruled the ancient city of Tai Chu, only had less than two hundred Yuan Stones in their treasury today.

This is where the true depth of a cultivation family lies.

If the Ji family’s annual spiritual tax was converted into yuan stones, it would only amount to six or seven yuan stones, plus the daily consumption of spiritual grains and rice, as well as the spiritual herbs distributed to the four houses of the main lineage and the side lineages, leaving at most two or three yuan stones a year.

Although the Ji family has been accumulating yuan stones over the years, not every family head has a heart for the Ji family, and selfish people still make up the majority of the family.

Not only did many of the family heads not think of ways to increase their treasury, but they also took away Yuan stones and magic treasures from time to time, resulting in the Ji family having less than two hundred Yuan stones in its treasury today.

Ji Yue Nian looked at the treasures, and finally stopped his gaze at a jade ring. It was a storage treasure of good quality, worth around five yuan stones.

Even as the eldest son of the Ji family, he did not have a decent storage magic treasure at all, and only had a storage bag worth less than half a yuan stone.

It was not that the Ji family was deliberately harsh on him, but that Yuan stones were too precious. For a cultivation family, that had no other source of spiritual goods other than mortal spirit tax, every Yuan stone was precious and could not be wasted.

After taking off the “White Jade Ring” and putting it on his wrist, Ji Yue Nian collected another 150 yuan stones, a long sword of good quality, a small seal of protection and a bottle of ten “Qi Gathering Pills” before turning around and leaving the treasury room.

There is a forbidden formation outside the treasury room. Only the Ji family bloodline holding the Royal Spirit Ebony Sword could enter in the treasury room. So, this extremely valuable spiritual magic treasure had always been carried by successive family heads and never left their hands.

After re-closing the treasury room with the Royal Spirit Ebony Sword, Ji Yue Nian once again returned to the main hall of the Ancestral hall, raised his head to look at a spirit tablet located at the highest of the many tablets, and then walked straight out of the Ancestral Hall.

There were only three words on that spirit tablet: “Ji Suo Ming”.

Thousands of years ago, this man had been an inner disciple of the Tai Yu Ancient Sect, and was the only person in the Ji family to have reached the realm of the divine Sea.

After his cultivation reached the divine sea, he was unable to go further due to his qualifications, and was eventually exiled from the sect and fenced off in the ancient city of Tai Chu, thus establishing the Ji family’s legacy to this day, as are several other cultivation families within the ancient city of Tai Chu.

Taiyu Guzong is the most powerful sect in the Yuan Yan realm, also known as “Taiyu Shengzong”. It has nineteen ancient cities with a territory of millions of miles, which has not been seen for tens of thousands of years. There was too much war.

This is why these cultivation families, which have been arbitrarily subdivided, have been able to represent the Taiyao Ancient Sect and take over countless mortals, making them grow low-grade spiritual grasses, spiritual rice, spiritual fruit and other things, and collect spiritual taxes for their own use.

The only purpose of these nineteen ancient cities for the Tai Yu Ancient Family is to provide a constant supply of new disciples to continue the family’s legacy in this huge body that stretches across the realm of Yuan Yan.
