Chapter 401 The Wen family is here to freeload.
Sensing the fluctuations in spiritual energy, the Chu family members who knew about the existence of the fake Foundation Establishment Pill rushed towards the backyard.
Although the others didn't understand, they followed suit. They looked at each other and all ran towards the backyard.
The Chu family head and the first elder in the backyard were overjoyed. They hadn't expected that this pill would actually work. It shouldn't be called a pseudo-Foundation Building Pill at all; it should be called a Foundation Building Pill directly.
Actually, after Lao Long finished eating this advanced version of the pill, he only said, "It's delicious," and then said nothing more. Wenwen had to coax and plead with him to finally get Lao Long to reveal his true feelings.
After taking the pill, the old dragon felt no pain at all, and his breakthrough was incredibly smooth.
Of course, it's possible that monsters have a high pain tolerance, so it's understandable that the old dragon doesn't feel pain.
Based on her own experience, Wenwen boldly promoted the advanced version of the pseudo-Foundation Building Pill to the Chu family head, and suggested that the person taking the pill should not have too many internal injuries or hidden injuries. This was to avoid any unforeseen circumstances. Therefore, she insisted on calling this pill the pseudo-Foundation Building Pill.
The dark figure outside the city gate was played by Lao Long. As the group turned around, Lao Long returned to his master's wrist without anyone noticing. The Foundation Establishment demon beast escaped the sight of the two members of the Chu family without any problem.
"Hahaha, I, Chu Sanzhan, have successfully established my foundation!" A wild laugh echoed across the sky.
The laughter lasted a long time, but the spiritual pressure vanished in an instant.
The Chu family members who arrived at the scene watched as the third patriarch of the Chu family walked out of the stone house, laughing wildly.
At this moment, the three patriarchs of the Chu family gradually turned their white hair gray and then black, and the wrinkles on their faces began to decrease one by one, and their hunched bodies slowly straightened up.
It is an ironclad rule that once a cultivator successfully establishes their foundation, their lifespan will increase by 120 years, and it is perfectly normal for their appearance to change.
Chu Sanzhan, the third patriarch of the Chu family, is currently over seventy years old. Considering that life expectancy is nearly two hundred years, it would not be an exaggeration to say that he is still in his prime.
"Nephew wishes Third Uncle a happy new year!"
"Your grand-nephew respectfully wishes Third Grandfather well!"
The Chu family's eldest elder and the Chu family head offered their congratulations with joyful expressions.
Seeing this, the other members of the Chu family all stepped forward to follow suit.
"Congratulations to the Three Ancestors on your successful Foundation Establishment!"
"May the three venerable ancestors enjoy long and prosperous immortality..."
The sounds of congratulations echoed through the Chu family's backyard, reaching the ears of the neighbors.
Soon, the news that someone from the Chu family had successfully established their foundation spread throughout Xingyu City.
......
Xingyu City, the Ma family council hall.
"Alas, at this critical juncture, how did the Chu family produce a Foundation Establishment cultivator?" an old man sighed.
"That's exactly right. With the arena match just around the corner, how are we supposed to fight?"
"Why can't he fight? The arena competition isn't for the highest-level cultivators; it's for the younger, newer main force. What's a Foundation Establishment cultivator doing getting involved?"
"What are you saying? But in this city lord competition, wouldn't having a Foundation Establishment cultivator give you a huge advantage?"
"What a load of rubbish! With the Foundation Establishment Pill, the Chu family will definitely put it up for auction. Given the Chu family's nature, they have no reason to hide it."
"hope so......"
“…”
Such emergency meetings were also being held by the other two families in Xingyu City. The meetings were nothing more than envying and resenting the Chu family for their good luck, and being angry that Chu Sanzhan had hit the jackpot.
People wildly speculated about where the Chu family got the Foundation Establishment Pill. Some guessed that the Chu family head brought it back from the west across the desert, others guessed that it was bought from a black market in Ningqian City, and still others guessed that it came from the northern continent. All sorts of guesses came up one after another, but no one guessed that it would be related to the Wen family.
Logically speaking, given Chu Xihuan's familiar attitude on the street yesterday, and Chu Xijian's claim at Sihai Pavilion that the Wen family were distant relatives of the Chu family, the Wen family didn't attract the attention of the cultivators in Xingyu City. This shows how insignificant the Wen family is in everyone's eyes.
It's estimated that everyone in the city will not only think the Wen family is insignificant, but will also think that the Wen family came to freeload. After all, as soon as they entered the city, Miss Ma judged them to be poor. Just imagine, how could a bunch of poor people have anything to do with Foundation Establishment Pills?
After all, in the eyes of cultivators in Xingyu City, Foundation Establishment Pills are something that is priceless and unavailable.
Therefore, the Wen family received no attention in the large city of Xingyu, which made it perfect for them to keep a low profile.
After 9:00 AM, the area downstairs from the inn gradually became lively.
Suddenly, a familiar, loud voice rang out urgently from downstairs: "Erzi, have those people from the Luo family not come out yet?"
"Brother Gui, you're here so early? What's wrong? Worried that the Luo family's deal will fall through?" the waiter teased familiarly.
"Where? No, the Luo family in the North are trustworthy people. They promised to hire me as their guide, they won't go back on their word. Besides..."
Before Wang Gui could finish speaking, Luo Chunian and his group appeared at the turn of the stairs.
"Fellow Daoist Wang, you're right on time!"
Luo Chunian said, "Perfect timing, we haven't had breakfast yet. Let's sit down and eat something together, and then..."
Wang Gui interrupted him, saying hurriedly, "Fellow Daoist Luo, it's so late, why are you eating breakfast? This morning, the Chu family announced that there will be fake Foundation Establishment Pills at the auction to be held at Shenshi (3-5 PM). Aren't you going to buy tickets? Why are you still eating breakfast?"
"A fake Foundation Establishment Pill? You've been lying to people this early in the morning?" Luo Sanmei stared wide-eyed in disbelief.
"Where did this news come from? Is it true?" Luo Chunian asked calmly in return.
"Ouch."
Wang Gui protested, "Fellow Daoist Luo, the third patriarch of the Chu family successfully established his foundation this morning. It is said that he did so by consuming a fake Foundation Establishment Pill."
"This news was confirmed by my neighbor Wang Laohan's daughter-in-law's nephew from the Chu family."
"Absolutely true, absolutely reliable!"
Wang Gui was practically ready to raise his hand and swear an oath.
This news was like a stone thrown into the sea, completely shocking everyone in the inn's lobby.
Regardless of whether they knew each other or not, after asking the people at their table, they would turn around and ask the people at the tables in front, behind, left, and right.
"Fellow Daoist, have you heard?"
"Fellow Daoist, when did you enter the city, and which gate did you enter through? Did you hear anything along the way?"
"Fellow Daoist, you got up so early this morning, did you sense anything unusual?"
"Fellow......"
"..."
The clamor of inquiries from downstairs grew louder and louder, quickly spreading throughout the entire inn. The Wen family members, who were quietly cultivating, all came out of their meditation.
Wenwen had just opened her eyes and hadn't even had a chance to speak yet.
Wen Chengbin, who was sitting next to her, suddenly asked, "Little sister, are you hungry?"
Without waiting for her reply, Wen Chengbin turned to Wen Qilin and said, "Uncle, my sister is hungry. Let's go downstairs to eat!"
Wenwen was speechless. Her second brother was actually using her as a shield. He could have just said he was hungry, but instead he pushed her out. She was better off without this brother!
Wenwen rolled her eyes and took a deep breath, just as she was about to unleash a tirade upon waking up, when someone suddenly shouted downstairs.
