In the evening, the Su Family hosted a banquet for the core clan members, with numerous cultivators from the family in attendance.

A few years ago, when Su Yu returned, Su Yun, Su Chang, and Su Ruosu were still the family elders. However, when Su Yu returned this time, Su Yun had stepped down from the position of First Elder and became the first Clan Elder in the family.

Su Yun was already one hundred and six years old, and even if he had consumed the Lifespan Extension Pill, his life expectancy would probably only be another twenty or thirty years.

Su Chang and Su Ruosu were also not young, both being just over one hundred years old.

Two new elders had been promoted, one named Su He and the other named Su Zhen, who were among the family’s relatively young high-ranking members around sixty years old in the eighth layer of the Qi Refinement Realm. Now, Su He’s cultivation had reached the ninth layer of the Qi Refinement Realm, while Su Zhen was still in the eighth layer.

Currently in the Su Family, Su Chang was the First Elder, Su Ruosu was the Second Elder, Su He was the Third Elder, and Su Zhen was the Fourth Elder. At the banquet, Su Yu chatted with Su He and Su Zhen for a while.

Su He was currently responsible for the family’s spiritual medicine field. He seemed to be a straightforward and candid man, but in reality, he had a hearty and headstrong personality. Su Zhen, who was now in charge of the Spirit Moon Lake, seemed more astute.

However, chatting with Su Zhen, his words always gave a sense of networking, slightly slick.

Younger members like Su Rui’an were now in their thirties or approaching them.

Su Rui’an’s cultivation had reached the sixth layer of the Qi Refinement Realm. The family’s resources had made the cultivation of these young people much smoother, and they were expected to break through to the seventh layer of the Qi Refinement Realm soon. They held potential be it for succeeding the Family Head or becoming an elder.

After the banquet ended.

Su Yu, Su Bin, and Su Jingbang gathered around a stove in the backyard to chat over tea.

Su Bin asked, “Now that you’ve broken through to the Foundation

Establishment Realm, do you still want to be the Fifth Elder?”

Su Yu, laughing, shook his head, “I’ve never been quite suited for this Fifth

Elder position. If someone is able to take it over, that would be best.”

Su Bin nodded slightly, “Then how about you become our family’s Third

Ancestor?”

Su Yu continually shook his head in protest, “No, Fifth Grandpa, I’m too young to be qualified to become an ancestor.”

Despite this, Su Bin continued, “Third Ancestor is just a title. Since you’ve broken through to the Foundation Establishment Realm, within the family, you naturally possess a corresponding status, and regardless of whether you are often within the family or not, this status will not change.”

Continuing with a chuckle, Su Bin looked at Su Yu and said, “If in the future the family’s strength continues to rise, and Core Formation Realm cultivators emerge, the requirements to become a patriarch will be elevated to that realm, and it won’t be as easy.”

“But for now, anyone who breaks through to the Foundation Establishment Realm has the ability to become a family patriarch.”

Under Su Bin’s persistence, Su Yu’s title of Fifth Elder was removed and replaced by the title of Third Ancestor of the Su Family.

After their casual talk, Su Yu asked, “Now that Elder Su He has reached the ninth level of the Qi Refinement Realm, is he preparing for a breakthrough into the Foundation Establishment Realm?”

According to the family hierarchy, Su He could be considered Su Yu’s clan uncle.

However, if Su Yu becomes the Family’s Third Ancestor, his status would be higher than Su He’s.

Shaking his head, Su Bin replied, “He has only just made his breakthrough; if he wants to establish his foundation, he still needs more time to settle down.”

After a moment of pondering, Su Bin continued, “We’ll see in five years. If his roots are firm by then, we can let him try to break through at that time.”

Su Yu nodded, then with a wave of his hands, he took out the leftover high-grade Foundation Establishment pill and handed it to Su Bin, “Then you keep this Foundation Establishment Pill, Fifth Grandpa. I’ve already broken through to the Foundation Establishment Realm, and this pill is no longer necessary for me.”

The moment Su Bin saw that it was a high-grade Foundation Establishment Pill, his face changed. He looked at Su Yu and asked, “You didn’t consume this high-grade Foundation Establishment Pill?”

“How could you be so—I’

Before Su Bin could finish saying ‘careless’ , Su Yu immediately interrupted him, “No, Fifth Grandpa. I didn’t consume the Foundation Establishment Pill because I felt somewhat confident about breaking through to the Foundation Establishment Realm and thus did not choose to use the pill as an aid.”

At that, Su Bin’s eyes and mouth became this shape ‘O’. His voice abruptly stopped, and he looked at Su Yu, stun.

Good heavens.

He’d heard of some talented cultivators choosing not to use the Foundation Establishment Pill when breaking through to the Foundation Establishment

Realm.

Doing so would allow their foundation to be more solid and pure in the absence of the pill’s contamination, potentially leading to higher future achievements.

But still

Those were genius cultivators!

If he remembered correctly, wasn’t Su Yu’s Spiritual Root of lower quality?

Su Jingbang also sucked in a breath of cold air, staring at Su Yu in shock. As a cultivator who had to rely on the Foundation Establishment Pill to break through to the Foundation Establishment Realm, he was well aware of how difficult this breakthrough was.

Just like the Family Head Su Peng, he had previously consumed the Foundation Establishment Pill, yet still failed in the end.

So, what was it like to have the confidence to break into the Foundation Establishment Realm without using a Foundation Establishment Pill?

Su Yu continued, “I didn’t have enough Spirit Stones a while ago because of the auction, so I auctioned off a lower-grade Foundation Establishment Pill, leaving only this high-grade one.”

“Thankfully, I currently have most of the materials needed to concoct Foundation Establishment Pills. I only lack a Spirit Fruit, and then I can refine another batch of Foundation Establishment Pills.

“When it comes time for someone in the family to attempt a breakthrough to the Foundation Establishment Realm, they can also use a Foundation Establishment Pill.”

Su Bin and Su Jingbang didn’t mind that Su Yu had auctioned off a Foundation Establishment Pill.

What Su Bin was concerned about was Su Yu’s lack of funds. He mildly reprimanded, “Why didn’t you inform the family when you were short of Spirit Stones? Although our family’s foundation isn’t deep, we can still manage to pull together a few hundred thousand lower-grade Spirit Stones.”

Su Yu raised his cup in surrender, “My mistake.”

Subsequently, Su Yu also briefly talked about his current situation and his recent return from the Chen Family, where he sold them a lower-ranked second-tier puppet beast.

“Before Sisi passed away, she entrusted me to look after the Chen Family. So, I gave them the lower-ranked second-tier puppet beast first.”

“In the following period, if the family needs lower-ranked second-tier puppet beasts, I can refine a few more.

Upon hearing the phrase “second-tier, lower-ranked puppet beast,” Su Bin and Su Jingbang both lit up. Su Bin laughed and said, “Yes, of course we want them.”

“So, the family will gather the materials to create the puppet beasts, and then you can forge them.”

The cost of the materials for a puppet beast is considerable. For the time being, two lower-ranked second-tier puppet beasts were sufficient for the Su Family.

As they chatted, the topic turned to the ruins of the Golden Jade Fairy Gate.

With a slight frown, Su Bin said, “After the great war between the righteous and demonic cultivators ended, the Yunjian Sect had actually stopped blocking their mountain gate. Right now, Xiao Zhi is exploring opportunities within with people from the First Elder’s lineage.”

“However, the situation at Yunjian Sect…is not exactly optimistic.”

“Their patriarch was gravely injured that time. Without eight to ten years of recovery, it is hard for him to recover. Even if he does recover, his lifespan will likely be affected.”

“How much longer he can live is hard to say.”

“Right now, forces such as the Yu Family, Huang Family, Jiang Family, and others are frantically scouring the ruins of the Golden Jade Fairy Gate in search of opportunities. It is said that they have made some gains.”

“If they digest these opportunities and give birth to pseudo Core Formation Realm or even Core Formation Realm cultivators, then the Yunjian Sect is in grave danger.”

Su Yu listened, his eyebrows furrowed in thought, appearing somewhat solemn. He inquired about the gains and movements of the forces such as the Yu Family, Jiang Family, and Huang Family within the ruins of the Golden Jade Fairy Gate..
