Several months later.
On the way from the Immortal City to High Ridge Mountain.
A black flying shuttle streaked across the sky.
Inside the shuttle, Li Ping sat cross-legged, with Bai Lin and Ji Shuxuan seated cross-legged beside him.
Li Ping was traveling to High Ridge Mountain mainly to attend the Foundation Establishment celebration the Bai Family was holding for Bai Qing.
Cultivation families differed from rogue cultivators, especially families like the Bai Family, whose ancestor was nearing the end of his life.
Now that they had finally produced a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment realm, they naturally had to hold a grand celebration for him.
Not only would they make it a lavish affair, but the entire lineage would celebrate, with invitations sent far and wide to fellow cultivators to witness the occasion. Li Ping had naturally received an invitation as well.
Li Ping's gaze fell on Ji Shuxuan beside him.
Ji Shuxuan had come to Windmist Immortal City at sixteen, when his cultivation was only at the Qi Refining second layer. Fourteen years later, he was now thirty, and his cultivation had reached the sixth layer of Qi Refining, leaving him not far from advancing to the late Qi Refining stage.
Li Ping had brought him along because Ji Shuxuan planned to return to the Jiang Kingdom soon and accompany Daoist Ji through the final stretch of his life.
This time, he was coming to High Ridge Mountain specifically to bid Yan Hengchuan farewell.
Li Ping had already bestowed a Qi Condensation Pill on him. Once they returned to Windmist Immortal City from High Ridge Mountain, he would enter seclusion to attempt a breakthrough to the late Qi Refining stage, then return home.
Of course, in keeping with Daoist Ji's strategy of not putting all the lineage's eggs
