This giant serpent is named the White Jade Demon Python.

A mid-tier third level great demon.

Possesses hidden, space escape abilities.

Extremely adept at covert surprise attacks.

Especially its innate divine technique, Wishful Size.

Can change its body shape at any time.

Is one of the most difficult presences to deal with among the many great demons on the field.

At this moment, the Black Wind Demon Tiger heard its words, and the cold and large tiger eyes suddenly revealed a trace of fierce aura.

"Fellow Daoist Bai Yu, what you say is correct.

Now that my magical treasure has reached great success, it is indeed time to launch a large-scale attack on the human race."

Saying this, the Black Wind Demon Tiger paused slightly, then continued:

"Let's set the time for three months from now.

Meanwhile, continue to dispatch your subordinate demon beasts to carry out small-scale attacks on Heaven-Piercing Valley.

Make sure they have no inkling about our plans.

This time, I'll make the Ji Family's Golden Core pay a heavy price!"

"Jiejiejie... the human race's Golden Core's flesh, I, the ape, have longed for it for some time.

I hope this time, won't disappoint me too much."

A giant ape, twenty feet tall and covered in gray fur, revealed a mouth full of sharp tusks, letting out a sinister laugh.

...

Heaven-Piercing Valley.

When Ji Haoyuan emerged from his cave abode, a little over a month had already passed.

During this time.

Heaven-Piercing Valley had been attacked by demon beasts twice.

Fortunately.

With the war fortress and the protection of third-tier arrays, the casualties remained within a controllable range.

At this moment.

Ji Haoyuan handed a jade bottle containing nine Foundation Establishment pills to Ji Qingfei in front of ancestor Ji Bochang.

This made both of them slightly surprised.

Clearly did not expect Ji Haoyuan to produce so many Foundation Establishment pills in this retreat.

"Uncle, with the human-demon war upon us, although our Ji Family is the master here, other families and Loose Cultivators have also contributed a lot.

Shouldn't we distribute some of these Foundation Establishment pills to them as well?"

Ji Qingfei had evidently thought deeply about this.

After all, compared to other major families and sects, their Ji Family's heritage is lacking.

Other than having Ji Haoyuan, a Golden Core True Man, they really don't have much advantage in other aspects.

Most importantly, what he just said is indeed true.

Besides their Ji Family and the cultivators of the Demonstration Sect, such as the Liu Family, Feng Family, and Qiu Family who came with them to Heaven-Piercing Valley.

They have also contributed significantly.

Moreover.

Over these years, the Loose Cultivators and Honored Guest Elders who came to Heaven-Piercing Valley and voluntarily attached themselves to their Ji Family.

Are also an indispensable force.

If this time, the Ji Family kept all the Foundation Establishment pills for themselves without sharing.

In the short term, people might not say much.

But over time, thoughts might arise.

After all, they follow you because you are strong enough to bring them hope and benefits.

But if you are only strong and cannot offer corresponding benefits.

Especially when they have contributed enough.

Then how they feel inside is predictable.

"Indeed."

At this moment, Ji Haoyuan nodded satisfactorily to Ji Qingfei's words.

"Qingfei, I am pleased you think this way and have this recognition.

I hope you always uphold this belief going forward.

The Cultivation Realm respects strength but also values relationships.

Especially when you aren't strong enough to suppress everything, don't dissipate the hearts of those who willingly unite around you.

Know that those who attach to you and follow you are also part of your strength, a kind of fortune.

Though unseen and intangible,

It is indeed present.

About what you just said..."

Seeing this, Ji Haoyuan took out another jade bottle from himself and handed it to Ji Qingfei:

"This time I practiced alchemy, I made two batches of Foundation Establishment pills.

Each batch yielded nine pills.

How to deal with these Foundation Establishment pills, whom to distribute to, will be entirely your decision."

"This..."

Taking the jade bottle with nine Foundation Establishment pills once more from Ji Haoyuan.

Ji Qingfei was truly shocked.

His uncle was entrusting such an important matter to him...

Unknowingly, he felt a vague sense of pressure.

He involuntarily turned to look at ancestor Ji Bochang next to him.

At this moment, Ji Bochang was smiling encouragingly at him.

"Qingfei, since it's your uncle's trust, just do it well.

Now that we are here, you need not think too much nor feel pressured.

Everything will go smoothly."

These words immediately sparked a hint of understanding in Ji Qingfei's eyes.

He nodded solemnly at Ji Bochang and Ji Haoyuan.

"Yes, ancestor, uncle, Qingfei knows what to do."

After speaking, he did not stay longer and turned to leave.

Seeing this, Ji Bochang's eyes revealed a trace of amusement.

He turned to Ji Haoyuan and said, "Haoyuan, it seems you have decided to fully cultivate Qingfei?"

Ji Haoyuan pondered momentarily, then slowly nodded:

"That's my current plan.

So far, Qingfei is decent in cultivation, character, dealing with people, and decisiveness in managing big aspects.

Especially in character.

If other aspects can be compensated and learned through effort, a person's essence is hard to change through postnatal effort.

This is what I value most in him.

Uncle, what do you think?"

Finally, Ji Haoyuan also turned to Ji Bochang.

Ji Bochang took some time before nodding:

"Haoyuan, you are right.

Qingfei is indeed the most outstanding and excellent among our Ji Family's disciples.

It's thanks to the battle between the two sects back then,

Without that tempering, even with his innate character, he probably wouldn't have shown his capabilities so quickly."

While saying this, Ji Haoyuan and Ji Bochang's spiritual sense seemed to perceive something.

Their gazes both turned towards the direction of the distant city wall fortress.
