Ji Yuenian glanced at the few Elders from collateral lines, and before he even spoke, they all lowered their heads slightly.
"This issue has been resolved, there is no need to discuss it further."
Ji Bugui was so excited that even his voice trembled a little, "Master … Patriarch, this … this ..."
After Ji Luoyang, Xu Jianghe and others dragged Ji Hong and Ji Quexue down, they returned through the gates of the Hall of Tranquility with many Ji family guards.
Ji Yuenian walked towards the ancestral hall of the Ji family in the apse of the Hall of Tranquility, and his voice echoed from afar, "Ji Luoyang, Xu Jianghe, from now on, you two will do your best to protect Ji Bugui and take charge of the Ji family."
Several people were stunned in place.
After counting their breaths, all the eyes in the Ji family focused on Ji Bugui.
Ji Bugui was a little nervous. He never imagined that he would shift positions directly from an unappreciated fourth line's concubine's son to the head of a cultivation family!
Several cultivating families jointly controlled the ancient city of Taichu. Eighty percent of the spiritual tax paid by the hundreds of thousands of ordinary people in the ancient city of Taichu was all divided up by the cultivating family. The resources that could be controlled by the cultivating family could be imagined from this.
At this time, not only the fourth house of the Ji family's main branch, but also everyone in the Ji family's collateral line could not help but feel a little numb. In just one night, the Ji family's family head shuffled around between three people.
If it hadn't happened just now, no one would have believed such a bizarre thing.
Only a middle-aged man from the fourth house stepped forward and said, "I have seen the head of the house!"
This person was Ji Bugui's father. He usually treated this shy son with cold temperament. But at this time, Ji Bugui had directly taken the position of the head of the family, which surprised him very much.
Xu Jianghe and Ji Luoyang looked at each other, both bowed their hands towards Ji Bugui, and said, "I have seen the head."
One after another, members of the Ji family paid tribute to Ji Bugui, but most of them were perfunctory.
Ji Luoyang, as the Ji family's only True Dao realm expert at this time, looked around at the Ji family's thousands of people, and suddenly there was a hint of ambition in his heart.
But after a while, he forcibly suppressed this thought. Ji Yuenian's sword light was still fresh in his eyes, and he was lucky enough to escape, so it was better not to make small moves.
Thinking of this, Ji Luoyang set his mind and activated his Profound energy, saying loudly, "From now on, the order of the head of the family is the golden decree. If anyone dares to have any schemes, or plots behind our backs, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the Ji family was obviously a lot more enthusiastic when they all bowed their heads to Ji Bugui.
Ji Bugui was still a little at a loss.
He stood there for a while, and then he calmed himself and said to Xu Jianghe, "Commander Xu Jianghe, please bring someone to repair the Hall of Tranquility and several branch halls."
Xu Jianghe first glanced at Ji Luoyang, then bowed to Ji Bugui and said, "My lord is too polite. If you want to give an order, just call me by my name, no need to say a word."
Ji Bugui subconsciously nodded and said, "Okay."
The Hall of Tranquility had been inundated by the waves just now. At this time, it was riddled with holes. Xu Jianghe ordered more than a hundred people to leave here to carry materials to repair the damaged halls.
Ji Family Ancestral Temple.
Ji Yuenian stepped into the quiet and spacious hall, and all he saw were hundreds of memorial tablets.
He did not stay in the main hall for a long time, but walked directly towards the side hall, where the Ji family's treasury was located.
The treasury hall was not large, but there were more than twenty magical treasures of various colors arranged in it, but these were all ordinary magical treasures, and none of them could compare with the spiritual magical treasure, the Royal Spirit Ebony Sword.
The value of an ordinary magic weapon was between two spirit stones to three spirit stones, but a spiritual magic weapon was worth at least a hundred spirit stones!
Spirit stones were extremely precious, and most ordinary people had never seen one in their entire lives. Even if the Ji family was one of the aristocratic cultivation families in charge of the ancient city of Taichu, there were only less than two hundred spirit stones in the treasury today.
This was where the true heritage of a cultivating family lied.
If the spiritual tax that Ji's family received every year were converted into spirit stones, it would only make six or seven pieces. In addition to the daily consumption of spiritual grain and spiritual rice, it was also distributed between the four houses of the main line and the collateral line. There were only two or three spirit stones accumulated in the whole year.
Although the Ji family had been accumulating spirit stones over the years, not every family head cared about the Ji family, and selfish people still accounted for the majority.
Many previous patriarchs not only did not think of ways to increase their treasury, but instead took spirit stones and magic treasures from the treasury from time to time. As a result, the Ji family's current treasury contained only less than two hundred spirit stones.
Ji Yuenian carefully looked at the magic weapons arranged separately, and finally stopped his gaze on the White Jade Ring. This was a good-looking storage magic weapon, worth about five spirit stones.
Even though he was the eldest son of the Ji family, he didn't have a decent storage magic weapon at all, only a storage bag worth less than half a spirit stone.
This was not because the Ji family was deliberately harsh on him, but because the spirit stones were too precious. For a cultivation family that had no other income source of spiritual things other than the mortal spiritual tax, every spirit stone was so precious that there was no room for wastage.
He took off the storage magic weapon—White Jade Ring—and put it on his wrist. Ji Yuenian collected another 150 spirit stones, a long sword which was a magic weapon of relatively good quality, and a small defense type treasure. After collecting the magic weapon and a bottle of ten "Qi Gathering Pills", he turned around and left the treasury hall.
There was a forbidden formation outside the treasury hall, and only the blood descendant of the Ji family holding the Ebony Sword could enter it. Therefore, this extremely precious spiritual magic weapon had always been possessed by the previous patriarch, and he would never leave it in another hand.
Holding the Ebony Sword, he closed the treasury hall again. Ji Yuenian returned to the main ancestral hall again, raised his head and glanced at the seat at the highest point of many tablets, and walked straight out of the ancestral hall.
There were only three words on the spiritual seat, Ji Suming.
This person was the inner disciple of the Taiyu Ancient Sect thousands of years ago, and he was the only person in the Ji family who had cultivated the realm up to the Divine Sea Realm.
After his cultivation had reached the Divine Sea, he could not break through any further. He was finally released from the sect and came to the ancient city of Taichu, thus establishing the Ji family. The rest of the cultivation families in the ancient city of Taichu were probably had a similar history.
Ancient Taiyu Sect was the most powerful sect in the Yuanyan realm. It ruled 19 ancient cities within a territory of hundreds of thousands of miles. It had been tens of thousands of years without major wars.
Therefore, these cultivating families, which were divided at random, had always represented the Ancient Taiyu Sect which commanded countless ordinary people to plant low-level spiritual grass, spiritual rice, spiritual fruit and other things, and collected spiritual taxes for their own use.
The only function of these nineteen ancient cities for Ancient Taiyu Sect was to continuously provide new disciples for this behemoth that dominated the Yuanyan realm, to continue its sect inheritance.
