Soon after returning home, Zhu Yuanchang came to the door.

"There is a way, the matter of ethnography has been almost prepared, and Zhu Wen has found a few famous gentlemen from nearby countries. I've already talked to them, and they're all very knowledgeable and well-learned, and one of them is the prime minister who retired from Wei!"

Zhu Youdao was very interested: "Grandpa, since we are a gentleman invited by our family, we should treat each other politely, and I will set up a banquet to entertain them at noon!"

Zhu Yuanchang bowed his head and said: "You are the patriarch of the Zhu family, as it should be!"

Zhu Youdao instructed to go down and let the chef of the Zhu family prepare the luncheon with the highest standard!

The Zhu family attaches great importance to this ethnology, and specially designates the "Orchid Garden", one of the eight major gardens, as the land for ethnology, and the gentlemen invited also live in the Orchid Garden.

Near noon, Zhu Youdao personally came to invite all the gentlemen, and the gentlemen knew that it was the head of the Zhu family who arrived, so they naturally gave face and happily went to the banquet!

There are a total of five gentlemen invited by the Zhu family.

One is named Wang Anyang, the former prime minister of Wei, and has a high reputation in the Wei government and the opposition.

A name named Li Fuzhi is a famous Confucian in Yueguo, although he did not enter the court as an official, his protégés are all over the world, and he has taught countless famous disciples, and the current prime minister of Yue is also from his disciples.

A man named Sima Xing me, who used to be a historian of a certain country, resigned many years ago, traveled around nine countries, collected historical materials from various countries, and compiled twenty-four volumes of "Taishi Jishi", and was also a scholar who was famous all over the world.

A man named Ning Yue, who was given the title "Ning God of Wealth", was a wealthy businessman who established Datong Money Village to pass through the Nine Kingdoms.

The last one is named Zu Heng, who is proficient in the way of arithmetic, and he is the arithmetic teacher specially invited by Zhu Youdao.

The five gentlemen have all passed the stage of pursuing fame and fortune, even the royal family can't invite them, but the world admires the fairy road, with glory and wealth, what they yearn for is longevity and health, and the Zhu family uses longevity pills as a salary, so it is naturally not difficult to move.

At the luncheon, Zhu Youdao and the five gentlemen had a very happy conversation. He was born poor in his previous life, he didn't have much ink in his stomach, and he suffered a lot of losses without culture, and later after making a fortune, he worked hard to read a lot of books, so it was effortless to talk to these famous bigwigs. The views and thoughts of his previous life gave the gentlemen a great shock, put away the arrogance in his heart, and did not dare to underestimate the Zhu family.

And Zhu Youdao is also very satisfied with the five gentlemen, they are not those rotten Confucians who are stupid in reading, but celebrities who have really got the true taste of the book, apply what they have learned, and have insight into the world, Zhu Youdao is also very relieved to hand over the children of the Zhu family to them to teach.

After a banquet, the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves.

The family study was completed, and Zhu Youdao was sick of heart.

Zhu Youdao originally planned to use the next period of time to step up the refining of a batch of magic weapons and go to Luojiafang City to open a store. But on this trip to the Bai family, he inquired about some inside information.

According to Bai Guoqi, Luojiafang City already has a shop specializing in magic weapons, which is operated by the Qu family of Huangyunshan. The Qu family of Huangyunshan is a Jindan family, and they are quite domineering, and there are things that do not obey the management of the Luo family from time to time in the Fang market. There were also other families operating magic weapons in Luojiafang City before, but they were all squeezed out by the Qu family by various means.

Luo Yuanshan, the old fox, didn't mention this matter when he persuaded Zhu Youdao to open a store, he didn't have a good heart.

The strength of the Luo family is not as good as that of the Qu family, and they are unwilling to directly conflict with the other party, so they want to introduce the Zhu family to compete with the Qu family.

Zhu Youdao sneered in his heart, the Luo family really has a good calculation, your Luo family doesn't dare to offend the Qu family, our Zhu family can't afford to provoke others now, even if we can afford it, we can't be used as a gun by you.

The place where he can open a store is not only Luojiafang City, he plans to go to Vientiane City in a few days and talk to Master Zheng.

He is ready to invest in Master Zheng's small shop and expand the scale of the store, but it just so happens that the Zhu family can't draw manpower, and Master Zheng lacks supplies and funds.

......

Time flies, and another five years have passed.

On this day, Zhu Youdao was cultivating, and a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy came over and said, "Uncle, Aunt Youqing is about to start building the foundation, and the ancestor asked me to inform you!"

Zhu Youdao hurriedly got up: "Yunxing, go, follow me to have a look!"

This young man is Zhu Wen's son Zhu Yunxing, he is the first monk of the fourth generation of the Zhu family, and now he also has a fourth-level cultivation of qi.

When Zhu Youdao arrived at the courtyard where Zhu Youqing lived, the monks of the Zhu family, large and small, arrived. Building a foundation is a big deal, and for monks, building a foundation is the gateway to a high-level monk, and if you can't pass this level, you will struggle at the bottom for the rest of your life.

And for the family, enough foundation building monks are the foundation of the family's rise.

Zhu Youqing sat on the cultivation futon, covered in cyan mana, which was a sign that the mana was full and agitated, and it could build a foundation. Zhu Yuanchang, Zhu Ganglie, Li Yunniang and others were all telling her something.

After Zhu Youdao came in, he smiled and said, "Our Xiaoqing'er is also going to build a foundation, this time she is better than my brother!"

Zhu Youqing said confidently: "I am already better than you big brother, you wait, I will definitely succeed in building the foundation this time!"

Zhu Youdao laughed: "Okay, big brother is ready for a banquet and waiting to celebrate for you!"

He took out a few jade bottles from the storage bag: "Building a foundation is not something that can be done in a moment and a half, there are Zhuji Dan, Bigu Dan, and the pills that nourish vitality after the foundation is successfully built, how to use them I taught you before!"

After Zhu Youqing took the pill, Zhu Youdao also told her a few words before saying to everyone: "Let's all go out and wait for the good news outside!"

The monks of the Zhu family came out of Zhu Youqing's cultivation room, and Zhu Youdao said: "Youqing is the three spirit roots, and the foundation building time will take about a month at the earliest, Xiaohong is here to stay, what should others do!"

Zhu Yuanchang and Zhu Ganglie couldn't rest assured, they had to stay here, Zhu Youdao had no choice but to let them.

In fact, Zhu Youdao is not optimistic about his sister's foundation building this time, according to the Feng family's thousand-year-old records, the success rate of the three spiritual root monks to build the foundation is less than forty percent, and it is generally necessary to have a greater certainty when the second and third impacts the foundation.

Since Zhu Youqing was born, she has been favored by her grandfather, father, brother and sister-in-law, and has never encountered setbacks, and her mood has been less tempered, and there is really little hope for success in building a foundation for the first time.

Zhu Youdao is not worried, even if he fails, it is a rare experience that will lay a solid foundation for the next foundation. At most, I lost a Tsukidan!

Thinking of Zhuji Dan, Zhu Youdao calculated in his heart: the Zhu family has three Zhuji Dan, Zhu Youwei used one a few years ago, and now Zhu Youqing uses one, if Qing Zhuji is not successful, another one will be used, and the Zhu family's Zhuji Dan reserves will be used up.

Zhu Youdao was glad, fortunately, his father auctioned one more Zhuji Dan at the Yongzhou auction, otherwise he would not have been able to pass this hurdle in front of him.

And in a few years, Zhu Youdao himself can start to build the foundation, but he doesn't plan to use the last Zhuji Dan by himself, the reason is very simple, he is a Wuling Root, although he has cultivated the Pure Yang Tongzi Gong, his qualifications are slightly better, but the success rate of building the foundation will not be higher than that of the sister of the Three Linggen, instead of scattering the Zhuji Dan to two people, neither of them can build the foundation, it is better to use both of them on one person, let one of them build the foundation first.

And in another ten years, his father Zhu Ganglie has successfully practiced qi, and there is still a chance to build a foundation, as a son, how can he give his father a chance to build a foundation.

The purple gold fruit of the Great Holy Valley also has one to ripen in ten years, and Zhu Ganglie can just catch up, if the Zhu family does not get a new Zhuji Dan during this period, the purple gold fruit is prepared for him by Zhu Youdao.
