Hua Kai's consciousness wandered around the world and felt the way the will of heaven and earth worked. He kept adjusting the circulation of the power of ice in his body and gathered the power of the five elements in his organs, allowing the power of the five elements to adjust the power of ice and form a balance. Gradually, Hua Kai controlled the circulation of the power of will in his body and synchronized it with the power of heaven and earth. Then, he felt the circulation of the power of will in his body become smooth and natural, as if it was one of the laws of heaven and earth.
Hua Kai opened his eyes and saw the disciples looking at him respectfully. The little monkey rode on Xiao Qiang and happily called out to him. He and Xiao Qiang could feel that Hua Kai's strength had broken through!

Looking at his stats, Hua Kai felt the difference after he reached Foundation Establishment. Everything in heaven and earth seemed to have become natural. His understanding of the laws of heaven and earth became clearer. He could control the faint power of ice around him as he wished.
"Congratulations, Teacher, for your great improvement. Teacher, you can materialize things from the world of novels and have the means of a saint. It is the fortune of our school of novels!" Cao Zirui stood up and bowed to Hua Kai.
All the disciples in the hall also stood up and bowed. The disciples outside the hall bowed as well!
"Rise!
Today, I have a feeling in my creation and my strength has broken through.
Students, you must know that there are no shortcuts to cultivation and creation. What you comprehend is your own opportunity. If you don't comprehend something, don't force it.
Today, I see that many students have good aptitudes. Today, I will take in 22 personal disciples. Shibo, Yong Ying … Are you willing to be my disciples? "
Although Hua Kai's voice was soft, these 22 people felt as if he was speaking in their ears. They were all listening to Hua Kai's lecture outside the palace or even on the roadside of the college. When they heard Hua Kai calling their names, they excitedly bowed in Hua Kai's direction.
When the nearby students saw this, they all opened up a path for them. The students who were called out happily walked towards the palace. They had become Hua Kai's personal disciples. Not only could they enter the main hall to listen to lectures, but they could also receive personal guidance from Hua Kai. Their future prospects were limitless.
After the 22 people entered the main hall, Hua Kai had them sit at the side. These 22 people would be Hua Kai's 8th to 29th personal disciples.
Hua Kai's disciples were all S grade and above. Among these 22 people, Shibo was SS- grade. Those who were able to enter the Academy of Novels were all pretty good. It was quite difficult to find 22 people with S grade and above among so many people.
After taking in the personal disciples, Hua Kai selected more than 300 people with A + grade and above or those with greater mastery of the Basic Copywriting Skills as in-name disciples.
After taking in the disciples, Hua Kai got up and left. He entered the back door of the main hall and saw a young maid waiting there. He followed the maid to the inner courtyard. The fake mountains and water here were very well made. Although the bedroom and study were simple, the spirit wood used here was grade 3 and above.
After asking the maid to leave, Hua Kai entered the study and saw many academic works placed here. He closed the door and looked at the spirit treasure [Five Element Mountain] that appeared in [Journey to the West].
[Five Element Mountain]: Mid-grade spirit treasure (can be upgraded)
Internalized the power of the five elements. When attacking, it can reduce 50% of the target's [Willpower]. The stronger one's mental strength is, the more powerful the attack of [Five Element Mountain] will be.
It can be used to suppress one's family's providence. It can increase the family's providence by 50%.
[Five Element Mountain] was an offensive spirit treasure. It was used to deal with experts with powerful willpower. Moreover, it increased the family's providence by 50%.
Now that he had reached the Foundation Establishment Realm, the ninth main mission of the system would be completed.
The [Undead Army] barracks array looked similar to the [Pegasus Field] array. However, the [Undead Army] array had a special black stone slab, eight fist-sized crystal pillars, and 16 array flags. As for how to use it, Hua Kai hadn't thought about who to give it to.
[Mountain River Diagram] was a landscape painting. It depicted High Willow City and its surrounding area of 200 miles. Hua Kai used his mental strength to look at the effect of the [Mountain River Diagram]. This spirit treasure indicated that it could monitor everything in the area of the painting. It could also change the power of rules and spirit energy in the area.
The content of the painting could be changed according to the will of the owner. In other words, if you put the landscape of your territory into the painting, you could increase the concentration of the world's will and spirit energy in the area to a certain extent. As for how much, it would depend on the strength of the user.
Of course, you could also draw your enemy's territory into the [Mountain River Diagram] to reduce their will and spirit energy.
Needless to say, the [Imprisonment Talisman] would directly imprison one's will and prevent them from using their own will. This was very fatal for those above the Foundation Establishment Realm. Hua Kai had to be careful when using these talismans.
Finally, there were the Aptitude Pills. Hua Kai received four bottles of [Low Aptitude Pills], one bottle of [Intermediate Aptitude Pills], three bottles of [Advanced Aptitude Pills], and two bottles of [Extreme Aptitude Pills]. The other Aptitude Pills weren't very useful to the Hua family, but they could be given to the disciples of the aristocratic families in High Willow City.
After looking at the mission rewards, Hua Kai was most concerned about the [Undead Army] barracks. However, he still lowered his head to look at the tenth main mission.
Main Mission 10: Become a Rank 2 Aristocratic Family

1. The family's overall strength must reach 200,000 points (Completed)

Reward for the tenth main mission: Sweeping Clouds Robe (Extreme Spirit Treasure), one Spirit Nurturing Pill (Grade 3 Immortal Pill), and ten bottles of random Aptitude Pills.
[Sweeping Clouds Robe]: Breaks all illusions. Reduces mental energy, willpower, and soul attacks below the Immortal Realm by 99%. Has the effect of suppressing fate.
[Spirit Nurturing Pill]: Both the male and female will use their willpower and soul power to nurture the pill. After the pill is nurtured, the female will use it to greatly increase the chances of pregnancy.
[Aptitude Pill]: …
The tenth main mission was much lighter than Hua Kai had imagined. It was just one hundred bottles of random Aptitude Pills. It could be of great use to Hua Kai's direct descendants. The main function of the first Spirit Treasure was to ignore illusions. However, how many illusions could a person encounter in their life? Furthermore, this Spirit Treasure could not resist Vital Energy attacks or physical attacks.
The Spirit Nurturing Pill sounded good. It could increase the chances of pregnancy. It might not be easy for him to have children in the future since he was already in the Foundation Establishment Stage. This pill might be useful.
After reading the system mission, Hua Kai immediately entered the [Family Space]. He came to the crystal pillar and listened to the system notification.
"Checking that the family head has leveled up to Grade 3. All members of the Hua family (Directory) have a chance of leveling up by one small stage to one large stage. All core members of the family have leveled up by at least one small stage."
"The family has leveled up to Grade 3. The number of family members has increased to 2,000. The system is updating …
Update complete. Please check the family's attributes. "
Hua Kai could not help but feel delighted when he heard this. All core members of the family had leveled up by at least one small stage. This meant that the willpower of the ten core members of the family would increase. He hurriedly checked the family directory.
Among the ten core members of the family, only Yu Jun's aptitude had leveled up by one large stage. Yu Jun's aptitude had leveled up from A + to S +. This meant that he had the aptitude to build his foundation.
In addition, Grandpa Hua Xing, Fourth Uncle Hua Zihuan, Erzhuang, and Chinese Ink had leveled up by two small stages. Grandpa's aptitude had reached S-, Fourth Uncle S, Erzhuang S, and Chinese Ink S +.
As for the other five core members, their aptitudes had only leveled up by one small stage. This meant that Xue Chen's aptitude had reached S-. He had become the first person in Hua Kai's family to have Soul Formation aptitude. For the tenth main mission, only the Hua family's three Foundation Building cultivators were left. Hua Kai had reached the peak of Foundation Building.
In addition, in the family directory, 19 people had leveled up by one large stage, 76 people had leveled up by two small stages, and 395 people had leveled up by one small stage. The number of members of the Hua family with S- and nine people with S- and above had reached 40.
In addition to Hua Kai's 29 students and in-name disciples, there were close to 100 people with S- and above aptitudes in the High Willow County. There might not be any country in the Divine East that had more aptitudes than the Hua family.
After the system update was completed, Hua Kai saw that the family's battle strength had decreased by a large amount. In this update, the names of Xue Pan, Tang Lei, and Yu Jun had disappeared from the Hua family directory.
Thirty percent of the members in the Hua Family's name list were gone. These members had either left the Hua Family or had established their own families. The Hua Family's name list had increased by more than 1,300 people. The previous minimum loyalty value of 94 points had increased to 86 points.
Hua Kai checked the names of every new member of the family. He couldn't help but smile happily.
In the past, the members of the family had always occupied the spots, and the others couldn't go up. Hua Kai had the luck points, but he couldn't increase everyone's strength.
This time, the family directory had increased by 1,300 people. After these people went through the [Family Secret Realm] trial, their strength would definitely increase rapidly. The Hua family's strength would enter a period of rapid development.
