Chapter 162: Why should I explain my life to you?
The reason why Zhao Family Head had Zhao Chengjing put forward these 2000 spirit stones was not because they were short of spirit stones, but to silence the other elders in the family.
In this way, with Chen Yi's public nomination and Chengjing's own offering of the spirit stones, together with the agreement of the two Foundation Establishment members in the Zhao family,
There would be very little opposition for Zhao Chengjing to be prioritized in consuming the Foundation Establishment Pill. The rest was up to her.
That very night, Chen Yi received exactly 5800 spirit stones.
Chen Yi asked for only 4800 stones. The Zhao Family definitely understood the weight of the Foundation Establishment Pill, and given the market rate, they provided him with 5800 spirit stones.
The current state of the Zhao family was somewhat similar to the Chai Family in the past. If the family failed to produce a new top-tier power, no amount of spirit stones would save them.
Subsequently, Chen Yi settled in the Second Tier spiritual veins location on Zhao Family Island. This was a place Chen Yi had never been to during his 20-some years of staying on Zhao Family Island.
What was once too high to reach, was now just something casual for Chen Yi.
Ten days later,
The spiritual energy outside a secret room near Chen Yi began to fluctuate suddenly.
Chen Yi understood at once that Foundation Establishment had begun. Furthermore, Chen Yi had already confirmed before,
The person who received this Foundation Establishment Pill was indeed Zhao Chengjing.
With that, Chen Yi withdrew his thoughts and no longer paid any attention. He had already given her the pill, proceeding with benevolence and righteousness up to the end.
The success of the foundation establishment was no longer his concern.
After a month and a half,
The celestial and earthly spiritual energy began to stir wildly, and Chen Yi knew it was a crucial moment for her, so he stopped cultivating.
He took out the formation plate and placed it in his Cave Mansion, separating the outside from the inside.
At the same time, Chen Yi used the Shadow Evasion Skill and Restraint Skill, borrowed the strength of the Martial World, and appeared outside the Second Tier spiritual veins,
Taking advantage of the dark night, he flew toward Zhao Family Island.
Chen Yi was not deliberately protecting Zhao Chengjing.
He had mentioned before that he was temporarily residing on Zhao Family Island and would not interfere as long as the Tan Family did not attack during that period.
But now that Zhao Chengjing was undergoing the foundation establishment process, there was no knowing if the Tan Family could restrain themselves from causing trouble.
Only if the Tan Family adhered to its promise would its people not suffer bad luck.
Additionally,
The Tan Family had provoked Chen Yi several times; it was time for him to start collecting some interest.
Chen Yi concealed himself near the medicine field on the west of the island, hiding in the shadows beneath a massive rock. He dropped the Purple Sand Mink into the ground to survey the situation.
On the other side,
News of someone from the Zhao Family establishing their foundation indeed reached the ears of the Tan Family right away.
Given the ongoing war between the two families, and the fact that the Zhao family's offering alchemist was actually a mole, it was a given that there were informants.
With Zhao Chengyu's return, the Zhao Family now had two Foundation Establishment members, while the Tan Family had three Foundation Establishment members, and one Foundation Establishment family member, Tan Feng, was at the sect,
The Wu Family had two Foundation Establishment members.
If the Zhao Family managed to get another Foundation Establishment member, then the tides would turn. It would not be easy to destroy the Zhao Family then,
Therefore, no matter what, the Tan and Wu families didn't want this person from the Zhao Family to succeed in establishing their foundation.
Sure enough,
When spiritual energy began to fluctuate violently in the airspace above Zhao Family Island,
Three Foundation Establishment figures flew toward Zhao Family Island,
They were Tan Family Head Tan Dezheng, his son Tan Fei, and Wu Cong from the Wu Family,
Among them, Tan Dezheng was in the middle of Foundation Establishment, and the other two were in the early stages of Foundation Establishment.
Feeling the fluctuations of mana from these three people, Chen Yi was confident he could take them all on at once, one punch for each.
This gave him peace of mind for the next course of action.
"Father, the information we have at the moment states that Chen Yi is still cultivating in the Second Tier Daoist Field. Should we go directly and disrupt the spiritual energy vortex?"
Tan Dezheng, wearing a black cloak, squinted his eyes and thought for a while:
"Let's avoid that core area. The news stated that Zhao Chengjing, who is in her 60s, is establishing her foundation. Her chances of success are already slim. All we need to do is to cause some disturbance.
Later, we will split up and act separately,
Daoist Wu, you head west to the mining site and create a disturbance. Try to draw Zhao Chengyu over."
"Alright."
"Fei, you go to the medicine field in the east. Make a big fuss. If the old man, Zhao Chongjian, comes over, make sure you get out of there quickly.
But if my guess is correct, he shouldn't leave the core area in order to protect his daughter's foundation establishment.
If that's the case, there should be no one defending the medicine field, and you can clear out all of Zhao's spirit medicine.
Even if Zhao Chengjing successfully establishes her foundation this time, we won't lose out!
I'll stay in the middle to coordinate and respond to any unexpected changes."
"Yes, Father."
Subsequently, the three figures split in three directions,
with Tan Fei heading west, directly towards Chen Yi's location.
BOOM! BOOM!
Tan Dezheng, the Tan Family Head, attacked the Second-Tier Preeminent Array Method in the core area of Zhao Family.
This Array Method was acquired from Ye Huanhuan. It couldn't be broken without the intervention of a late stage Foundation Establishment or if a quasi-magic weapon level attack isn't launched.
However, Tan Dezheng's aim wasn't to break the array, but to disrupt the person inside, who was undergoing the Foundation Establishment.
The fluctuations in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth would make it unstable for the person establishing their foundation to absorb the spiritual energy. If her mentality was weak, she could collapse.
However, at this moment, Zhao Chengyu and Zhao Chongjian were vigilantly guarding within the array. Their presence eased Zhao Chengjing's mind, allowing her to fully focus on breaking through to Foundation Establishment.
Suprisingly, she seemed unaffected for now.
"Family Head, something is wrong! The mining site in the west and the medicine field in the east are being attacked by the Tan Family at the same time!
Each of their teams is led by a Foundation Establishment member. We can't hold them off at all. What should we do now?!"
Suddenly, an offerings servant came to report the urgent news.
Hearing this, Zhao Chongjian's complexion changed. He looked at Zhao Chengyu:
"Chengyu, the mining site is more important. Why don't you go and guard it first?"
Zhao Chengyu, however, shook his head:
"Family Head, I suggest that we withdraw everyone.
No matter whether it's the mining site or the medicine field, none of them are more important than our personnel,
We can earn back any lost wealth, we can seize any lost territory again,
