Braised Dragon with Soy Sauce

Chapter 247 Reunion

Just as the border region of Zhenglan Kingdom was bustling with activity due to the massive explosion, Ji Xianlin and Master Long had already rushed back to Wangxiang Town. They learned from Huo Chenggang that Mo Yuming had been transported to Wushuang Fortress by Huang Xiaoxiao in a horse-drawn carriage.

The two hurried to Wushuang Fortress and finally found the lively Mo Yuming in the canyon. Ji Xianlin was finally relieved.

Three years later, Mo Yuming and Ji Xianlin were naturally overjoyed to see each other again. Mo Yuming immediately pestered Ji Xianlin to tell him about his experiences traveling across the mainland over the past few years.

Ji Xianlin naturally answered all questions. After their conversation, Mo Yuming finally understood why Ji Xianlin had returned to the Monster Mountain Range so quickly. It turned out that Ji Xianlin, like all the other elders who had left with him, was eager to return home as a wanderer and was rushing back to his hometown in the shortest possible time.

When they returned to Ji Family Fortress after more than fifty years, although the castle was still the same castle, they didn't recognize most of the people in it. Although there were still a few familiar cousins, they were all old men in their twilight years. After all, even in a great family, there were only a handful of people who could advance to the Heavenly Rank.

Those who fail to break through to the Heavenly Rank will inevitably experience a gradual decline in their physical functions after the age of one hundred. Even those who reach the peak of the Earthly Rank will find it difficult to live past two hundred years old.

After getting to know these brothers, I realized that we had become quite distant. It didn't matter much, because I was too outstanding back then and was designated as the only candidate for the next head of the family at a young age, so most of my brothers had a sense of keeping their distance from me.

They weren't close friends to begin with, and then he suddenly disappeared for over fifty years without a trace, so naturally there wasn't much kinship left.

Ji Xianlin didn't care about any of this, after all, he had been gone for too long. He had figured it all out on his way back; his wish to return home was simply to see his long-lost homeland, and his greatest concern was for his loved ones.

He would never see his parents again, of course, but he still had his wife and children; his grandson was already ten years old when he passed away. He would be content as long as he saw them safe and sound.

However, after returning to the Ji family, he didn't see a single one of his relatives. When he asked his old comrades, they all hesitated and gave evasive answers, none of them offering a definite answer. This made Ji Xianlin very suspicious.

After searching extensively, he finally found one of his subordinates in a shop owned by the Ji family. This subordinate had received favors from Ji Xianlin and thus told him the truth.

It turned out that a year after his disappearance, his family was ostracized, and his properties were gradually swallowed up by his brothers. Three years later, his wife could no longer endure the bullying, so she led her children and grandchildren away from the family and fled to a foreign land. They have been missing ever since.

Faced with irrefutable evidence, his cousins ​​who had seized his family's property all expressed their willingness to return the assets and apologize.

Given his strength of reaching the fourth level of the Heavenly Rank, the clan elders unanimously agreed at the clan assembly to honor him as a Supreme Elder and to send clansmen to find his family.

Originally, he wanted to kill those clansmen who had bullied his wife and children to vent his anger, but in the end, he suppressed his rage. Ji Xianlin didn't want his hands to be stained with the blood of the Ji family. After crippling the cultivation of a few of the leaders, he left Ji Family Fortress, severing all ties with the Ji family from then on.

After searching for his relatives in various places for several years without success, Ji Xianlin was disheartened.

So he decided to return to the Valley of Heartbreak. Unexpectedly, upon arriving in Zhongyuan City, he encountered Lord Long and Lord Hu, who were stationed there. Through their introduction, Ji Xianlin learned that the area around Zhongyuan City and Shangyuan City now belonged to the Great Xia Empire. Mo Yuming and his group were busily developing this land.

When Ji Xianlin learned about the achievements made in the past few years, he was almost speechless with astonishment. He never expected that a teenager could achieve such great success.

Originally, I wanted to go see Mo Yuming immediately, but after hearing that Mo Yuming was still in Zhenglan Kingdom and had not returned, I stayed in Zhongyuan City.

One day, when Master Long accompanied him to visit the Zhongyuan City University, which was under construction, they happened to run into Ji Jiahe, who was delivering teaching materials to the university. Although Ji Xianlin was over a hundred years old, because of his high cultivation level and his life in the spiritually rich Jueqing Valley, apart from his white hair and beard, he still looked like he was in his fifties or sixties and did not look old at all.

Because Lord Long often traveled to various places and was simple-minded and easy-going, he naturally got to know many people who had transactions with the government of Zhongyuan City, including the brothers Ji Jiayun and Ji Jiahe, owners of the Ji Family Fur Trading Company.

When he ran into Ji Jiahe at the academy, he naturally greeted him. When Ji Xianlin was introduced to Ji Jiahe, Ji Xianlin didn't pay much attention. After all, the Ji family was a large and powerful family with businesses all over the place. It was not surprising that Ji family members were doing business here. Since he had already decided to break away from the Ji family, he naturally wouldn't bother with these younger members of the Ji family.

But Ji Jiahe's expression changed drastically upon hearing Ji Xianlin's name. This name was far too important to him, because Mo Yuming had told him that his great-grandfather was still alive and would soon come to meet them.

Having been a businessman for many years, Ji Jiahe was calm and composed. Although he was certain that Ji Xianlin was most likely his great-grandfather after hearing the name, he still wanted to be on the safe side. After carefully inquiring about the situation of Master Long, Ji Xianlin, he hurried home to inform his elder brothers to accompany their parents to Ji Xianlin's residence for a reunion.

Ji Xianlin never expected to encounter his descendants in Zhongyuan City, and he couldn't help but shed tears of emotion. He also never imagined that not long ago, if it hadn't been for Mo Yuming passing by, his descendants would have almost been wiped out.

Fortunately, all of that is in the past now. With him as their great-grandfather, the Ji family will naturally become stronger and stronger in the future.

On this day, just as Ji Xianlin was teaching martial arts to the younger generation at home, Master Long suddenly came to his door, saying that Mo Yuming had suffered a qi deviation shortly after returning to Wangxiang Town and had been unconscious for three days without waking up.

Ji Xianlin was extremely anxious and hurriedly went to the mine accompanied by Master Long and Ji Jiahe.

Fortunately, thanks to everyone's efforts, Mo Yuming's soul finally returned, and everything returned to normal. Moreover, Mo Yuming actually gained a lot from this unexpected turn of events.

"Master Ji, I brought back some good stuff. Let's go take a look. I guarantee you'll be amazed!"

After listening to Ji Xianlin's story, Mo Yuming couldn't wait to tell him to go to Xianghe Valley.

"What is this? It's so big!"

Besides Ji Xianlin, Long Ye, Xiao Xiao, and Ya Zhu also came along. They were all stunned when they saw the 'Youfeng' spaceship. Even the well-traveled Ji Xianlin had never seen such a product of another advanced civilization.

"In that world, this is called a spaceship. It's a world completely different from our Tianxuan Continent. There are no magical beasts there, only various highly developed and intelligent creatures, and humans are just one of them."

There is no spiritual energy in their air, and none of them can cultivate profound martial arts. However, they are able to arm themselves by creating various highly sophisticated machines, and they use their knowledge to manufacture terrifying weapons for combat. This spaceship is one such example.

Mo Yuming tried his best to use the most common words to describe another civilization, that extremely distant yet interconnected universe.

The crowd listened to Mo Yuming's cryptic pronouncements with a mixture of understanding and confusion. If it weren't for the enormous object placed before them, everyone would have thought Mo Yuming had gone mad, and madly at that.
