Chapter 34 Foundation Building Celebration
Two months passed in the blink of an eye, and Fourteenth Uncle's foundation-building celebration was about to begin.

In order to hold this celebration, except for the patriarch and the little ones in the school, everyone else in the Lin family was mobilized and prepared half a month in advance. There was a lot to do.

It is necessary to arrange personnel to assign tasks, rehearse various rituals, and prepare meat, vegetables, fruits, spiritual tea and wine to entertain guests.

Each representative of the foundation-building family is assigned a clan elder to accompany him to show importance and respect for the other party and the family.

We also have to prepare the best accommodation for these representatives, and consider not arranging those with conflicts together.

Then there are those who will come to support the celebration due to good family relationships, and the close friends invited by the Fourteenth Uncle himself. For these people, each has to be considered in terms of their respective relationships, and then their accommodation is arranged to ensure that no conflicts or other emergencies occur during the celebration.

Fortunately, all the major families have a tacit understanding that they will not send foundation-building monks to such celebrations, otherwise it would be even more difficult to arrange, and the safety issue alone would be difficult to resolve.

The members of the Monster Hunting Team were assigned the task of maintaining order. When the time came, a small number of members of the Monster Hunting Team stayed on the mountain, and most of them were assigned to the foot of the mountain. After all, there were a lot of free cultivators at the foot of the mountain, and more people were needed to maintain order.

The task assigned by mother Xu Wenying is to help in the kitchen. A lot of spiritual meals need to be prepared in three days, otherwise there will not be enough manpower to handle it.

Even young boys like Lin Changqing were not spared, and the other boys also had their own tasks.

Lin Changqing's task is to guide the guests and lead them to the prepared accommodation according to the list, to prevent guests who don't know the way from wandering around and running into the Sutra Library or the family warehouse.

If anything happens at that time, just shout loudly. On that day, there will definitely be people from the Lin family's monster hunting team everywhere.

At the foot of the main peak, the Lin family has designated a large area specifically for independent cultivators, to entertain those who come without invitations.

At that time, there will be a buffet banquet for three consecutive days with good wine and meat to entertain those who are willing to join in the fun. Those who want to do business or set up stalls can only do so in this planned area.

The demon hunting team will patrol around the clock to maintain law and order, and ensure that no one will secretly stay in the ancestral mountain after the foundation-building ceremony.

When the time comes, the guests with invitations will be invited to the main peak to be specially entertained by the elders of the family. Lin Changqing doesn't have to worry about these, as long as he completes his task.

The most important thing is that the clan leader will personally sit at the core of the Nine-Bend Cloud River Formation at that time, and will activate the formation immediately in case of any emergency.

Ensure the safety of your family! You should know that most strong fortresses are breached from the inside, so it is better to be careful!

Lin Changqing was actually looking forward to it. After all, he could see such a lively scene on his own territory and satisfy his expectation of picking up bargains at street stalls. He wondered if the stall owner of the gambling stone shop would come. Hopefully, he would come!
Today is the first day of the official celebration. Lin Changqing got up early on purpose to ensure that he completed his daily training tasks first.

Cultivation is something that relies heavily on self-discipline and awareness. Anyway, Lin Changqing believes that if you persist in accumulating little by little, there will always be rewards.

After completing the training, we reported to the family square. Today, the main peak of Jiufeng Mountain was decorated with lights and colors everywhere, and the faces of the clan members were full of joy. It was much more lively than the Chinese New Year.

I arrived at my assigned position smoothly. Since I had practiced it several times, there was no risk of mistakes. However, today was the first day, so it would definitely be busy.

As expected, after the hour of Chen, more and more people started to come and go, and they were so busy that they didn't even have time to drink a sip of water. Fortunately, the number of guests on the mountain was relatively fixed, and they finally finished their work before noon.

The only thing he gained was probably meeting representatives of the twelve foundation-building families, as well as some cultivators who had good relations with the families. He also had a general understanding of the distribution of power in Pingyang Prefecture.

He went to the canteen arranged by the family, had a quick meal, and then returned to his post. As long as he could hold on until tomorrow, he would have completed his mission. Today, the guests were not familiar with the layout of the buildings, so Lin Changqing would basically have nothing to do tomorrow.

The family is relatively experienced in hosting this kind of foundation-building celebration.

On the first day of the celebration, Uncle Fourteen was the protagonist, and his main task was to participate in various ceremonies to worship heaven, earth and ancestors.

Representatives of each family mainly served as witnesses and guests to watch the ceremony, and presented gifts from each family. After the ceremony, they enjoyed the warm hospitality of the Lin family.

Everything went smoothly and without any major incidents, and Lin Changqing's mission was successfully completed.

On the second day of the celebration, Uncle Fourteen gave a sermon in the morning!

The contents of the sermons were carefully compiled by Shisibo, starting from his own Qi Refining Stage, the various problems encountered in cultivation, and the solutions, as well as some of his own cultivation experiences and techniques.

The most important thing is the situations you will encounter when breaking through the foundation, as well as the matters that need to be paid attention to in the process of foundation building. They are explained one by one, full of practical information!
This is also the important reason why many independent cultivators come uninvited. It is a rare opportunity to hear a foundation-building cultivator preaching, and it is very important for these independent cultivators who have no master!

The audience was mesmerized by what they heard, and suddenly they understood. Lin Changqing was also absorbed in listening, and compared his own cultivation experience, the two of them also benefited a lot from the verification.

There was nothing to do in the afternoon, so Lin Changqing was looking forward to shopping at the street stalls. He asked his mother to go shopping at the stalls, but his father had to patrol and maintain order and could not come.

When the mother and son arrived at the foot of the mountain, they found that the scale of the stalls was much smaller than the last time at Pingyang Market.

However, they still browsed around with great interest. My mother mainly looked at the spiritual objects related to talismans, such as talisman paper, talisman pens, special spiritual objects needed to draw talismans, and so on.

On the surface, Lin Changqing was looking at everything related to spiritual plant masters. In fact, he was looking to see if there were any spiritual objects that would emit a halo so that he could find a loophole.

After a while of shopping, my mother found several dozen high-quality talisman papers and a special spiritual object needed for drawing talismans. Lin Changqing had not opened the shop until now, and the two spiritual medicines he encountered were also in the family, so he didn't need to buy them outside.

Fortunately, after walking around for a while, I finally got something at a stall. The Huangjingzhi and Xuelingcao on this stall are both first-grade top-grade elixirs. Huangjingzhi replenishes qi, and Xuelingcao replenishes blood. It can just be refined into a first-grade Huangjing blood-replenishing pill, which is an elixir for replenishing qi and blood.

Last time, I used up six drops of blood in the past twenty days, and my body was weak for several months. I still remember it clearly. Now that I have encountered a magical medicine that replenishes qi and blood, I naturally cannot let it go.

"Boss, how much are Polygonatum odoratum and Blood Spirit Grass?" Lin Changqing asked.

The boss glanced at Lin Changqing and said, "These three Huangjingzhi are 20 Lingshi each, and the four blood spirit grasses are 15 Lingshi each, a total of 120 Lingshi."

"Can you make it cheaper? 70 spirit stones in total, 10 spirit stones for each plant." Lin Changqing tried to bargain.

Seeing that Lin Changqing was offering such a low price, the boss was a little angry and said, "Take it for the lowest price of 100 spirit stones. I won't sell it for any lower."

Seeing the boss's firm attitude, knowing that he couldn't lower the price any further, Lin Changqing quickly took out 100 spirit stones and gave them to the boss. He also put away the seven spirit herbs.

The stall was not very large and I finished my visit in no time. I didn’t see any halos and didn’t find any bargains, but I did see a gambling stone shop that was surrounded by a lot of people.
