"Shuling, isn't it?

Since you are Qingfei's Dao companion, as his Uncle, I should not be stingy.

These two items are my meeting gift to you."

With that, Ji Haoyuan handed the two items he had taken out to Ye Shuling.

One was a second-tier superior Spiritual Artifact, and the other was a Talisman Treasure.

Ye Shuling had never thought that Ji Haoyuan would present something so precious right away.

Especially that Talisman Treasure.

This was a treasure many direct disciples of the Golden Core didn't even possess.

Off to the side, Ji Qingfei obviously did not expect his Uncle to even bring out a Talisman Treasure.

While this surprised him, he also felt a touch of emotion.

But he still politely refused, saying, "Uncle, the Talisman Treasure is too precious. Shuling, being part of our Ji Family, has yet to contribute significantly enough to accept such a valuable gift."

Ye Shuling also regained her composure and nodded in agreement:

"Qingfei speaks the truth.

Uncle, the Talisman Treasure is indeed too precious and should be given to someone with great merit, Shuling cannot accept it."

With that, she intended to return the Talisman Treasure in her hand to Ji Haoyuan.

Ji Haoyuan, however, did not take it but instead put on a stern face and looked at them, feigning displeasure, saying:

"What? Do you think the things I give can be taken back?

Moreover, this is not a reward, just a meeting gift, and has nothing to do with merit or lack thereof."

Indeed.

At his current level, many matters no longer concerned him.

He could no longer be bound by so-called family rules.

Moreover, only the people intimately involved were present.

No matter how much he gives to people he cares about, what would it matter?

Could anyone else possibly know?

Even if they did, so what?

If Ji Qingfei and the others cannot handle such minor effects.

Or if the Ji Family were to be disturbed by such a trivial matter, then Ji Qingfei and the others would be deemed too incapable.

After all, ultimately, the family would be handed over to Ji Qingfei, Ji Yunshan, Ji Yunfan, and their cohorts.

Being a Golden Core cultivator, he couldn't possibly keep an eye on the family constantly as he did in the past, focusing so much on its development.

That would not only bind his hands and feet but might not be good for the family's continuation.

Therefore.

Ji Haoyuan had decided that after this, he would let go completely.

He would transfer the family's responsibilities to Ji Qingfei, Ji Yunshan, and Ji Yunfan and their peers.

As to how the family would develop and what it would eventually become, those were matters to be handled by these younger generations.

After all, as long as he, a Golden Core True Man, was still around.

Even if the family fell or was ruined by them, there would eventually be a day of resurgence.

Of course.

If, during this process, the future generation truly overstepped the bounds and had no limit.

Then he would intervene as needed.

In conclusion.

Everything was done as he wished, without overstepping boundaries.

At this moment.

Ji Qingfei and Ye Shuling knew they could no longer refuse after hearing Ji Haoyuan's words.

Ye Shuling accepted the two items and then, with Ji Qingfei, thanked Ji Haoyuan.

Only then did Ji Haoyuan smile and nod gently.

Afterwards, he pulled out a few more items and handed them to Ji Yunshan, instructing him to give two of them to Ji Yunfan when they meet in the future.

Ji Yunshan readily agreed to this and, like Ji Qingfei, expressed his gratitude to Ji Haoyuan repeatedly.

When it was just Ji Haoyuan and Ji Bochang left, Ji Haoyuan suddenly took out two items from himself and placed them in front of Ji Bochang.

At first, Ji Bochang was curious about what these items Ji Haoyuan had taken out could be, requiring them to be presented only after the others had left.

But when he picked them up and saw what they were, his expression changed dramatically.

"Haoyuan, this... is this?"

"That's right."

Ji Haoyuan immediately nodded with a smile.

"It's the Core Formation Spiritual Objects, the Golden Core Formation Elixir and True Spirit Golden Bamboo."

"Hiss!"

Ji Bochang immediately took a deep breath.

He never expected that after more than a decade of absence, Ji Haoyuan would return with such a huge surprise.

But soon, a wry smile appeared on Ji Bochang's face.

"Haoyuan, you should know that giving this sort of thing to me is purely a waste.

You know my situation, even with these two Core Formation Spiritual Objects you gave me, my success rate in forming a core is less than ten percent."

Upon hearing this, Ji Haoyuan silently sighed in his heart.

How could he not know about Ji Bochang's situation?

But to stand by and watch Ji Bochang rot away in the near future was something he couldn't quite accept.

After all, Ji Bochang had always taken great care of him when he was young.

And always protected him, saying he was indebted to him was not an exaggeration.

Therefore.

Even knowing that Ji Bochang's future core formation success rate was low, he still wanted Ji Bochang to give it a try.

After all, as long as the Golden Core Formation Elixir was present, there wouldn't be any life-threatening danger so long as it hadn't reached the stage of triggering a Celestial Tribulation, even after a failure.

However, Ji Bochang clearly did not share this view.

Or rather, he never even considered forming a core at all.

Then he smiled and put away the Golden Core Formation Elixir and True Spirit Golden Bamboo from Ji Haoyuan before saying to him,

"Since you decided to give these two things to me, I'll accept them unreservedly.

Thus, I won't disappoint your intentions toward me.

Just, in the future, how I plan to use these two Spiritual Objects, I hope Haoyuan won't interfere."

Clearly, from Ji Bochang's words, he intended to keep these two Core Formation Spiritual Objects for the family.

More precisely, he seemed to intend to keep them for the future promising clan members who had hopes of core formation.

Among them, Ji Qingfei undoubtedly had the highest probability of obtaining these two objects.

Firstly, he was the youngest among all Foundation Establishment cultivators of the Ji Family, and secondly, he was the most talented.

Plus, he showed great promise in both Magical Combat and family management.

If nothing unexpected happened, the Golden Core Formation Elixir and True Spirit Golden Bamboo would likely be his.

Ji Haoyuan, hearing this, said no more.

Because just as Ji Bochang understood him, he understood Ji Bochang as well.

Knowing Ji Bochang's personality and character, once he decided on something, it was almost unchangeable.

And in the following half-month.

Ji Haoyuan did not go out but stayed within the family.

While observing the movements of Demon Beasts outside Heaven-Piercing Valley, he also took some time to guide Ji Qingfei and Ji Yunshan in their cultivation.

About seven days later, he finally received a message from his senior sister, Master Binghuo.
