Chapter 62: Chapter 62: Ji Qingfei’s Decision, the Crimson Sunset Sect’s Reception Cultivator
Since the downfall of the Han Family and acquiring all their treasures, Ji Haoyuan combined them with the jade slips he purchased earlier from the Exquisite Treasure Pavilion. He achieved the second level in several of the Hundred Skills of Cultivation, including pill-making, artifact crafting, talismans, arrays, and spirit planting.
At present.
What Ji Haoyuan intended to refine were second-level Detoxification Pill and pills for restoring Magical Power and healing injuries.
Buzz!
As time went on, the number of jade bottles in front of Ji Haoyuan increased.
These jade bottles contained the second-level pills he had just crafted.
Clatter——
A little while later.
The gate of Ji Haoyuan’s cave abode swung open with a bang.
Outside his cave abode, all the Ji Family cultivators who were to accompany him to the Crimson Sunset Sect had gathered.
The one leading them was Ji Yunshan, the former head of the Luoh River Marketplace.
Besides him, there were many familiar and unfamiliar faces.
The one who truly surprised Ji Haoyuan was a man dressed in green.
This man appeared to be around thirty, with a cultivation level of the sixth level of the Qi Refining Stage.
What was more important was that this man bore a slight resemblance to Ji Haoyuan in appearance.
It was Ji Qingfei, the great-grandson of his older brother, Ji Haochuan.
This was something Ji Haoyuan had never expected.
Almost instinctively, Ji Haoyuan’s gaze turned toward Ji Bochang.
As if realizing Ji Haoyuan’s thoughts, a bitter smile appeared on Ji Bochang’s face.
"This great-grandson of yours insisted on coming, so you’ll have to ask him about the specifics yourself."
Upon hearing this, Ji Haoyuan turned his gaze back to Ji Qingfei, his eyes sharpening with severity.
"Qingfei, does your great-grandfather know about this?
Do you understand the implications of going to the Crimson Sunset Sect?"
Feeling the pressure emanating from his great-uncle’s Foundation Establishment Stage, Ji Qingfei couldn’t help but feel immense pressure.
Yet he respectfully bowed to Ji Haoyuan, nodding as he spoke:
"Great-uncle, I have already received permission from my great-grandfather.
This was entirely my choice. I understand the weight of the situation and have no regrets. I hope great-uncle will allow it."
"Are you certain?"
Ji Haoyuan’s voice grew even more severe.
Not only Ji Qingfei, but also Ji Yunshan and the other Ji Family cultivators felt an unexplainable pressure, filling them with anxiety.
This was the prestige Ji Haoyuan now held within the Ji Family.
Even without doing anything, just standing there made everyone instinctively feel tense.
Especially with his current demeanor.
Ji Yunshan and the others felt a wave of dizziness, their bodies involuntarily trembling.
So it was for everyone, let alone Ji Qingfei who faced Ji Haoyuan directly.
At that moment, Ji Qingfei trembled uncontrollably, his face pale and forehead breaking out in cold sweat.
Nevertheless, he managed to endure the pressure and, with great difficulty, raised his head to meet Ji Haoyuan’s gaze, responding firmly:
"Great-uncle, I am certain!"
"Good!"
With Ji Qingfei’s words, the pressure from Ji Haoyuan immediately receded.
Everyone present felt a sudden relief.
Ji Haoyuan said nothing further.
This was Ji Qingfei’s own decision, and as his great-uncle, he wouldn’t deliberately interfere with it.
As long as Ji Qingfei understood the reasons behind his decision and what he would face afterward.
On the cultivation path, no one could take full responsibility for another.
Ultimately, one must rely on themselves.
Of course.
Ji Haoyuan, as his brother’s only great-grandson, wouldn’t be so pedantic as to not offer some support.
However, these matters didn’t need to be addressed in front of so many people.
A little after.
Ji Haoyuan bade farewell to Ji Bochang and others who came to send them off and led Ji Yunshan, Ji Qingfei, and other Ji Family cultivators to the Crimson Sunset Sect.
Because he was with Ji Yunshan, Ji Qingfei, and the group, Ji Haoyuan purposefully slowed down his pace.
When he led the Ji Family cultivators to the gates of the Crimson Sunset Sect, a cultivator responsible for receiving them was already waiting.
"Honored senior, please accompany me to the Council Hall first.
As for the fellow cultivators from your family, arrangements will be made for them soon."
Hearing this from the receiving cultivator, Ji Haoyuan nodded slightly and discreetly slipped some Spirit Stones into the cultivator’s hand.
"I’ll be counting on you for that."
The receiving cultivator was caught off guard by Ji Haoyuan’s gesture, but before he could react, Ji Haoyuan spoke with a hint of a smile:
"If I’m not mistaken, you were with Elder Su Wen Yuan when I last visited.
Is Elder Su in the sect right now?
If so, I would like to pay my respects."
Ji Haoyuan wasn’t bluffing.
Indeed, he had seen this person with Su Wen Yuan when he last left the Crimson Sunset Sect.
Their relationship seemed complicated.
It was possible the person could be related to Su Wen Yuan.
Upon hearing Ji Haoyuan mention Su Wen Yuan, the receiving cultivator, recalling certain information, cautiously asked:
"Could it be that you are Senior Ji Haoyuan from the Ji Family?"
"Yes."
Seeing Ji Haoyuan nod, the receiving cultivator immediately displayed a warm grin.
He discreetly accepted the returned Spirit Stones and smiled:
"Ah, Senior Ji, my uncle instructed me to ensure you are well managed and hosted if you visit.
Please rest assured; arrangements will be made for your family’s cultivators by my fellow disciples shortly."
While speaking, he sent a message in Ji Haoyuan’s presence.
Soon, two Qi Refining Stage disciples clad in Crimson Sunset Sect attire arrived.
After explaining a few instructions to the two, the receiving cultivator turned back to Ji Haoyuan with a smile:
"Senior Ji, I have instructed these two younger disciples to take good care of your family members.
My uncle is currently in the Council Hall. If you have no other matters, shall we proceed there?"
"Certainly, I’ll trouble you then."
Ji Haoyuan nodded with a smile.
Soon, the receiving cultivator led Ji Haoyuan through several areas with array restrictions, reaching a magnificent hall.
It was the Council Hall mentioned by the receiving cultivator earlier.
Yet, Ji Haoyuan didn’t rush in immediately. Instead, he turned to the receiving cultivator with a smile:
"I have something for Elder Su; could you hand it over to him later, please?"
Saying this, a Storage Bag was placed into the receiving cultivator’s hand.
The receiving cultivator swiftly accepted the Storage Bag and smiled at Ji Haoyuan:
"You’re too courteous, Senior Ji. Please, let me accompany you inside.
I have a few matters to discuss with my uncle as well."
