I am evergreen in the world of cultivating immortals

Chapter 467 Dakun Family, Great-great-granddaughter

Three years later.

The southern region of Dakun, the Xu family’s ancestral land in Zijing Mountain.

By the Purple Bamboo Forest River, the moonlight is like a veil and the mist is thick, making it look like a paradise on earth.

The faint sound of the piano lingers in the bamboo forest, like a spring flowing in a mountain stream.

At the beginning, the music is spacious and clear, making people feel relaxed and happy. In the second half, the music gradually becomes sad and mournful, and it seems that the north wind is whistling in the bamboo forest and snowflakes are falling.

Inside the pavilion in the bamboo forest.

Xu Qingge knelt in front of the Jiaowei guqin, plucking the silver strings lightly with her bare hands. Her beautiful eyes were slightly closed, and the light red teardrop mole at the corner of her eye added a bit of beauty in the moonlight.

She was wearing a sky blue dress with wide sleeves and a green phoenix-shaped hairpin inserted diagonally in her hair. Her ink-black hair was tied up, outlining the graceful line of her neck like the first snow.

"who!"

Xu Qingge suddenly opened his eyes, the sound of the piano stopped, and his cold eyes swept across the bamboo forest.

With a stroke of her bare hands, she played the strings of the zither, and several arc-shaped sound waves and light rays swept towards the hills a hundred feet away.

There was a "boom".

The rocks cracked and a bohemian young man in brocade clothes flew out from the dust. He waved a folding fan in his hand, and ink light and shadow flowed, absorbing and dissolving several rays of light from the piano.

"Fairy Qingge, please don't hurt me by mistake!"

The young man in brocade clothes had a white face as if covered with powder, his eyebrows were long and deep, there was a faint dark blue tint under his eyes, and his thin lips were raised in a playful smile.

"This song 'Canglangqu' seems to have been adapted. It makes Cai's heart flutter and he is intoxicated..."

Putting away his folding fan, Cai Lin swaggered straight to the pavilion in the bamboo forest where Xu Qingge was.

"Mr. Cai came uninvited and trespassed into my retreat. Is this the way of treating guests as guests of the Cai family, one of Kunzhou's seven ancient families?"

Xu Qingge frowned and asked in a bad tone.

As the youngest and only female cultivator in the Xu family who has reached the Jindan stage.

The purple bamboo forest where Xu Qingge plays the piano and meditates every day is in a remote place outside the family.

Normally, the monks in the clan dared not disturb Elder Qingge's peace without permission.

"Haha! Fairy Xu, this is too polite!"

"The Xu family's ancestor has reached an engagement with my Cai family. You and I will be a family sooner or later. Why not come to Sister Qingge's dojo to bother her a little bit in advance?"

Cai Lin sat carefree in the pavilion, looking from bottom to top unscrupulously, admiring the talented lady Xu who was famous in the surrounding area and had superb piano skills.

"engagement--"

Xu Qingge's face turned pale, she looked incredulous.

Clang!
The fingers touching the strings trembled slightly, and an unusual sound of falling pitch was heard.

"Tsk tsk, Fairy Xu is upset! She is so eager to become my Taoist partner..."

Looking at Xu Qingge's moved face, Cai Lin spoke frivolously, his heart warmed.

"This ancient original version of "The Phoenix Seeks the Phoenix" was found by Cai at a great cost. Today, I would like to invite the fairy to appreciate it together."

He slowly leaned towards Fairy Xu, extended one hand, and was about to hug the talented girl from the Xu family to enjoy the music together.

Soon, his arms froze.

Cai Lin smiled awkwardly and said, "Fairy Xu has misunderstood!"

laugh!
A transparent string appeared at his neck, emitting an icy sharp edge and circling his throat.

Cai Lin's body was stiff and cold, and he dared not move. He explained honestly:
"My father and 'Old Ancestor Congfeng' have only made a preliminary agreement. The marriage contract still needs to be discussed with the Xu clan leader and has not yet been finalized."

Cold sweat broke out on his forehead, fearing that Xu Qingge would tremble and dismember his body.

……

Listen to Cai Lin's explanation of the cause and effect.

Xu Qingge snorted coldly, waved his wide sleeves lightly, and put away the strange transparent strings.

The so-called marriage contract was nothing but a lie from the young master of the Cai family.

However, there was a hint of worry between Xu Qingge's brows.

As a visitor, Cai Lin was able to easily reach her retreat, which was at least tacitly approved by some of the family's top leaders.

The ancient aristocratic family Cai has an extraordinary status in Dakun. Thousands of years ago, it was the leader of the seven ancient families and gave birth to a great Nascent Soul cultivator!

Although the Cai family declined later, it still ranked in the middle among the seven great families.

Cai Lin is a direct descendant of the ancient Cai family. His qualifications and character make him completely incompatible with the position of young master.

However, for the Xu family, a cultivator of this level, Cai Lin is still a high-ranking young master from an ancient aristocratic family.

If a marriage could be formed with them, both the family elders and the "Congfeng Ancestor" who had left the Xu family for hundreds of years would be happy to facilitate it.

Even though Cai Lin is notorious outside, indulging in sensual pleasures and is a typical scumbag.

There are even rumors that Cai Lin practiced the secret techniques of the Hehuan Sect and had killed many beautiful female practitioners from other sects and families.

As the most promising True Dan cultivator of this generation of the Xu family, Xu Qingge had met Cai Lin a few times, and had a deep dislike for him and kept his distance from him.

If she marries this boy, her future path to becoming an immortal will be unpredictable.

"...From Ancestor Feng?"

Suddenly, a man's puzzled voice was heard in the bamboo forest.

……

who!

Xu Qingge looked back at the bamboo forest behind him with a solemn look.

Her music has reached a spiritual state, and any disturbance in the surroundings cannot escape her sensing.

Just now, Cai Lin was just eavesdropping near the purple bamboo forest when she noticed him.

And that mysterious man seemed to have stayed in the bamboo forest for quite some time, but she didn't even notice it.

"Who's hiding in the woods? Sneaky as hell!"

Cai Lin waved the folding fan in his hand, his eyes were sharp, and his spiritual sense swept into the depths of the bamboo forest.

In his eyes, Xu Qingge was the woman he had intended for. How could he tolerate the fact that there was a man hiding in the latter's retreat?

In the senses of both.

Deep in the bamboo forest, in front of the thickest ancient bamboo.

A man in a green shirt stood there with a nostalgic look on his face, touching the texture of the thousand-year-old bamboo with his palm.

Upon noticing this person's presence, Xu Qingge and Cai Lin's expressions changed slightly and they did not dare to act rashly.

Because, the two could not sense any fluctuations of magical power from the man in green.

If it were not visible to the naked eye, it would probably be mistaken for air.

Being able to do this, the man in green must be at least in the late Jindan stage.

"That's the redbud bamboo that 'Xuan Zu' once planted!"

Xu Qingge's heart moved, and he looked closely at the man in green clothes who appeared mysteriously in the forest.

The man was handsome, as gentle as jade, with silver-white hair moving in the wind, and a noble and vicissitudes of life. His deep and distant eyes seemed to have traveled through thousands of years.

Xu Qingge's heart trembled inexplicably.

This is the first time in my life that I have seen such a man with such extraordinary bearing. He seems like an immortal walking out of a painting.

Lu Changan withdrew his gaze from the thousand-year-old bamboo.

This ancient bamboo was planted by him for his first wife in his previous life.

Later, some wives and concubines also lived here.

I don't know how long it has been, but at least several hundred years, and now it has grown into a purple bamboo forest.

"May I ask, Senior—"

Xu Qingge's lips were dry, and he was interrupted by the other party just as he asked.

"Xu's girl, I have something to ask you!"

Lu Changan turned his gaze to Xu Qingge and asked calmly:
"Who is the 'Cong Feng Patriarch' you just mentioned? What is his full name?"

"Replying to the senior! Patriarch Congfeng is Xu Congfeng, known as the True Lord Congfeng by the cultivators in the outside world."

Xu Qingge responded respectfully.

"Xu Congfeng?"

Lu Changan couldn't help but be surprised.

After his death, the descendants of the Xu family were so capable that they actually gave birth to a Nascent Soul cultivator?
However, he felt that the atmosphere of the Xu clan was not as good as when he was there.

He had no memory of the name Xu Congfeng in his previous life.

Of course, it is not ruled out that the offspring born later may be a dragon or a phoenix, and a Yuanying Zhenjun may be born.

"Since Xu Congfeng is the ancestor of the Xu family, why doesn't he stay in the clan's territory?"

Lu Changan noticed something was wrong.

The clan land still has a third-grade top-grade spiritual vein, which has hardly changed compared to when he was in charge of the Xu family.

Without a fourth-order spiritual vein, there would naturally be no Nascent Soul cultivators residing here permanently.

"This, considering that Patriarch Feng's situation is rather special..."

Xu Qingge looked embarrassed.

This involves a secret scandal of the Xu family many years ago, which should not be told to outsiders.

"Xu Congfeng...his original name was Xu Xiaofeng?"

Lu Changan had a flash of inspiration and found an answer from his long-forgotten memories.

Xu Xiaofeng!
Xu Qingge's pretty face was solemn, but she did not deny it.

Patriarch Congfeng lived for at least several hundred years, but most people do not know his original name.

Very few people know about it, and no one dares to mention Zhenjun's nickname, as this is a taboo in the world of immortal cultivation!

As the family's Jindan elder, she had read the most original family tree and therefore knew the ancestor's original name.

Lu Changan didn't need to figure it out, he got the answer from Xu Qingge's reaction.

It turns out to be this ungrateful person!

Lu Changan sneered in his heart and asked:
"Xu Xiaofeng was once a genius of the Xu family's earth spirit roots, but later severed ties with the Xu family. Why has he become the ancestor of your Xu family now?"

Recall past lives.

The Xu family finally gave birth to a genius with earth spiritual roots. The family supplied resources at all costs and sent Xu Xiaofeng to the "Chengfeng Sect", one of the ten major sects in Dakun.

After entering the sect, Xu Xiaofeng naturally asked for it, and later successfully formed a pill and became a disciple of Yuanying Zhenjun of Chengfeng Sect.

From then on, the support the family could provide was very limited.

Xu Xiaofeng gradually became alienated and severed ties with his family.

Even when the family was in danger and asked him for help, Xu Xiaofeng stayed in seclusion and refused to see even his family members.

Such a heartless person actually became the first Nascent Soul cultivator in the history of the Xu family!
……

"Old Ancestor Congfeng has lived for hundreds of years. He must have been thinking of our old friendship, so he contacted our clan and reunited with our ancestors."

"A few years ago, the ancestor took action and resolved a crisis for my Xu family."

Xu Qingge realized that this man in green shirt knew a lot about the Xu family of Zijing Mountain, and his seniority and cultivation level were difficult to guess.

She could only give a standard response.

"May I ask what your name is, Senior? Are you related to my Xu family's ancestors?"

Xu Qingge bowed and asked respectfully.

"My surname is Xiang, and I am a good friend of Xu's ancestor, the Jindan Zhenren. Now that I have returned from abroad, everything has changed."

Lu Changan sighed.

When Da Kun returned to his previous life, he did not use Xu Xuan's appearance, otherwise he might be exposed.

"I see……"

Xu Qingge seemed to be thinking about something, and immediately entertained them personally as a junior:

"Please take a seat, senior! I was rude to you earlier, please forgive me. Qingge will take you to see the clan leader later."

Xu Qingge was very polite as she served tea and water to Lu Changan, and the fragrance was pleasant as they went back and forth.

As the youngest Jindan cultivator in the Xu family and a famous musical talent in the surrounding area, Xu Qingge has always been aloof and her music is not appreciated by many people.

The fact that she lowered herself so much today to entertain a strange man was enough to surprise outsiders.

Cai Lin saw this and couldn't help feeling jealous.

As the son of the ancient Cai family, he fell in love with Xu Qingge at first sight. He begged his father for a long time and negotiated with the ancestor Congfeng before he got the opportunity to discuss marriage.

However, Xu Qingge was reserved and aloof, and treated him coldly and without any response.

At this moment, Xu Qingge respectfully entertained the man in green, who was also gentle and knowledgeable.

The two sides asked and answered questions, and the man was talented and the woman was pretty, but neither of them paid any attention to Cai Lin.

Cai Lin was in an awkward position, not knowing whether to stand or sit.

As a spoiled young master of an ancient family, he had never been treated like this before, and he felt furious.

However, the man in green shirt had unfathomable magical powers, and he was at least in the late Jindan stage.

A wise man never suffers a loss in front of him. He suppressed his anger and did not flare up for the time being.

"Miss Qingge, it turns out you are Shangyi's great-grandson..."

After a brief exchange, Lu Changan sorted out Xu Qingge's generation from the bloodline genealogy.

"Senior Xiang knows my great-grandfather?"

Xu Qingge was in high spirits.

After just a brief conversation, she was impressed by the man in green's demeanor and conversation.

Even in the area of ​​music, this senior had profound insights, and his few words helped her greatly and gave her a flash of inspiration.

She had a wonderful feeling of meeting a soulmate for the first time in her life.

"Well, although Xu Shangyi was only a foundation-building cultivator back then, Xiang still has some impression of him."

Lu Changan nodded.

Xu Shangyi is his great-great-grandson!

Ok?
At this time, Lu Changan felt something was wrong.

After a brief conversation, Xu Qingge looked into his beautiful eyes, which were full of brilliance, and seemed to have some affection and admiration for him.

Well, that won’t do!

"According to seniority, you are the great-great...great-granddaughter of this True Lord!" Upon learning that this girl was the Nth generation granddaughter of his bloodline from his previous life, Lu Changan's expression became serious and the conversation was no longer gentle and humble.

He frowned, glanced at the playboy Cai Lin, and said unhappily:
"As a descendant of the Xu family, you must keep yourself clean and avoid associating with those corrupt people."

Lu Changan's words were a reprimand to Xu Qingge.

But Cai Lin found it very unpleasant to hear and his face turned red, feeling very embarrassed.

"Yes, senior!"

Xu Qingge was a little confused and responded subconsciously.

This senior was just gentle and pleasant, and she regarded him as a close friend.

How come in the blink of an eye, he became just like the old-fashioned elder in the clan?

……

"Xiang! It's fine if you try to show off and be mysterious in front of others, Cai doesn't care. But you dare to slander my ancient Cai family, you are totally wrong--"

Cai Lin could no longer bear it and shouted angrily.

Hearing this, Xu Qingge's expression changed, with worry in his eyes.

Cai Lin put a big hat on me!

Elevate a private verbal conflict to the level of an ancient family's honor.

As long as he has the name of the ancient family to support him, Cai Lin does not need to be afraid even if the man in green is a Yuanying Zhenjun.

"roll!"

Lu Changan didn't even look at him and snorted coldly.

boom!
Cai Lin only felt a muffled thunder in his ears, and his heart was greatly shaken.

All the energy, blood and magic power in his body seemed to explode, as if a loach was being held down by a giant hand.

"No... Senior, please spare my life..."

He was extremely panicked and struggled hard, but his consciousness was cold and confused, and he fell into an endless abyss of darkness.

A strong intuition of death comes over me!
"As an ancient family on the decline, the little wealth it has will sooner or later be squandered by evil creatures like you."

A faint sound of ridicule seemed to come from a distant time and space.

I do not know how long it has been.

Cai Lin woke up from the darkness of death and found himself lying in a pavilion in the purple bamboo forest with blood coming out of all seven orifices.

Xu Qingge and the mysterious man in green have disappeared.

He subconsciously reached for the life-saving jade pendant on his chest.

I saw that the three crystals on the jade pendant had all become dim and shattered.

Cai Lin was shocked and broke out in cold sweat.

The three crystals on the life-saving jade pendant can theoretically withstand three attacks from Nascent Soul cultivators.

The man in green shirt just now, without being seen how he made a move, actually destroyed his three life-saving talismans on the spot!

……

Above Bauhinia Mountain.

Xu Qingge piloted an exquisite green flying boat and took Lu Changan to the family's important place.

Lu Chang'an stood on the deck, overlooking the familiar terrain of the Xu clan's territory below.

Wherever I go, I sometimes feel a sense of familiarity; but at least hundreds of years have passed and I haven't seen a single familiar person.

"Senior, aren't you afraid of offending the ancient Cai family?"

Xu Qingge made some hand gestures, his figure became light and graceful.

Lu Changan was speechless.

This great-great...great-granddaughter was still not at ease and wanted to test her level of strength.

Indeed, the Cai family, one of the seven ancient families of Dakun, is a behemoth that ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators cannot afford to provoke.

In Dakun's world of immortal cultivation, aristocratic families and sects are on the same level.

The seven great families and ten great sects are the dozen or so strongest top-level immortal cultivation forces in Dakun.

Among them, the seven great families have the longest heritage.

Those powerful families have many bloodline branches in Kunzhou, and they infiltrate large and small sects through marriage.

Those who are at the top may be comparable to Daewoo Royal Family.

However, Dakun and Daqing are similar in that they are both ordinary state boundaries.

In an era without the dominance of great Yuanying monks, thousands of peaks compete for beauty and demons dance wildly.

"Don't worry, little girl!"

"Just because I call you a senior, Xiang will let you have your own marriage without any external interference for the sake of our friendship."

Lu Changan stood with his hands behind his back and said in an air of being a senior.

"Thank you, senior, for your justice."

Xu Qingge raised the corner of her mouth, smiled sweetly, and bowed again.

With flowing eyes, she asked tentatively:

"I forgot to ask, which ancestor of Senior Xiang and Xu's family was a good friend?"

Lu Changan glanced at her and smiled without answering.

"It must be Xuanzu!"

Xu Qingge thought about it and guessed.

"Oh? Why is it Xuanzu?"

Lu Changan's name in his previous life was Xu Xuan. After his death, the Xu family revered him as "Xuanzu".

Xu Qingge stood in awe and said seriously:
"Xuan Zu is the most crucial Jindan Zhenren in the history of my Xu family. He overcame all difficulties and led the small family to an unprecedented prosperity, which has not been surpassed even now. Among all the Jindan ancestors in history, Xuan Zu's strength and magical powers are among the best. He made many friends, bravely entered the secret realm, and at the same time multiplied many bloodline branches for the family..."

Lu Changan listened with great interest. He felt comfortable inside because of the sincere flattery from this Nth generation granddaughter.

……

"Qingge, what brings you here so late at night, and why do you bring a stranger with you?"

An old voice was heard from the ancestral temple near the family's forbidden area.

At the entrance of the ancestral temple.

An old man with a three-inch white beard, frail appearance and cloth clothes came out with a cane.

"Your Mightiness……"

The old patriarch of the Xu family, "Xu Zhendong", saw the man in green next to Xu Qingge.

He looked dazed for a moment, and his cloudy old eyes widened slightly.

The old patriarch rubbed his eyes and felt vaguely familiar with the man in green with mysterious magical powers.

It's not about appearance, but about temperament.

"What is your relationship with Xu Annan?"

Lu Changan also felt that this ancestor looked familiar, and was somewhat similar to the great-grandson patriarch of the Xu family who was entrusted to him in his previous life.

"Xu Annan is my grandfather."

The old patriarch and Xu Qingge looked at each other.

Although there was no telepathic communication, his rich life experience allowed him to make some guesses.

The old patriarch did not dare to be disrespectful to this man in green clothes whose true nature was unclear.

"What's the senior's name?"

"This is Senior Xiang, who has a connection with my Xu family's ancestors..."

Xu Qingge took the initiative to introduce and briefly described what had happened before.

Learn the identity of the old patriarch.

Lu Changan took a look at him and found that this person was his direct great-great...grandson!
"Can Xiang enter the ancestral temple and burn a stick of incense for his old friend?"

Lu Changan made his request directly without any unnecessary greetings.

Entering the ancestral temple, he can take a look at the Xu family's history over the past few hundred years and predict the future feng shui fortune.

The Xu clan leader shook his head and said, "According to the Xu clan's family rules, the ancestral temple is a sacred place and outsiders are not allowed to enter!"

Lu Changan was stunned for a moment. This was one of the clan rules that he had participated in compiling back then.

The ancestral temple is an important place where the spirits of ancestors are enshrined and worshipped by the younger generations of the family.

Sacrificial ceremonies are held during important festivals.

"Really can't come in?"

Lu Changan narrowed his eyes and looked unhappy.

The intermittent spiritual pressure from the True Lord made the old patriarch breathe heavily and his back became more hunched.

He gritted his teeth and said, "You can't come in."

"Ok."

Lu Changan shook his head helplessly and put away the spiritual pressure of the True Lord.

The voice just fell.

Swish!
The figure in green shirt disappeared out of thin air from the entrance of the ancestral temple.

"Not good, clan leader! He broke into the ancestral temple..."

Xu Qingge said urgently.

According to Xu family rules, the ancestral temple is a sacred place and outsiders are prohibited from entering.

"Which eye did you use to see him enter the ancestral temple?"

The old patriarch remained indifferent and didn't even raise his eyelids.

"This... Senior Xiang was too fast, Qingge really didn't see it."

Xu Qingge thought for a moment, then smiled.

The old patriarch took out a family tree, which, in addition to the names of the generations, also contained portraits of some important ancestors.

Until the portrait of a middle-aged man in a blue shirt.

The old patriarch paused and looked at it carefully.

"The portrait of Xuanzu."

Xu Qingge recognized him at once; it was the one among his ancestors whom he admired the most.

"Hey! The senior Xiang just now was wearing a green shirt like Xuan Zu. However, the two look completely different."

……

Xu's ancestral temple.

Lu Changan walked slowly and gradually came to the depths of the palace.

The further he went in, the slower his steps became.

Sometimes I see familiar names and the faces of descendants from previous lives appear.

Finally, we arrived at the deepest part of the ancestral temple.

In the first row of the highest spiritual tablets.

[The position of Xu Xuan Zhenren, the great ancestor of the Xu family]

Lu Changan saw the tablet of "Xuanzu" and on the wall behind it was an abstract portrait of a white-bearded old man.

In a family of immortal practitioners, the ancestral temple has different statuses for immortals and mortals.

The ancestral temple of the Xu family here only accepts immortal practitioners.
The order of ranking is determined by seniority, cultivation, and family contribution.

Therefore, even though Xu Xuan was not the oldest in his previous life, he was still placed in the first row.

Its status is second only to the founder of the Xu family and the ancestor Congfeng who was promoted to the Nascent Soul stage.

Before Ancestor Feng returned, Ancestor Xuan and Ancestor Kaishan were ranked side by side and in the middle.

Logically speaking, since ancestor Congfeng is still alive, there should be no tablet for him in the ancestral temple.

"This ungrateful bastard! He hasn't even died yet, yet he's already occupied the first place in the ancestral temple!"

Lu Changan was angry and clapped his hands.

Snapped!
Wisps of green smoke rose from the tablet of Ancestor Feng's explosion.

"Thief! How dare you destroy my Feng Shui tablet—"

In the drifting green smoke, the aura of pressure from the True Lord was faintly surging, and a roar was heard.

Lu Changan stood with his hands behind his back, brows stern and eyes cold.

According to seniority, Xu Congfeng, this ungrateful guy, is also his great-grandson in his previous life.

……

at the same time.

Chengfeng Sect, Zhenjun Cave.

The center of the altar is surrounded by sixteen oil lamps.

Xu Congfeng, with a haggard face and wearing a dark green robe with coiled patterns, suddenly opened his eyes. His eyes were gloomy in his sunken eye sockets, like cold ghost fire.

"Descendants of the Xu family are so bold!"

Patriarch Cong Feng was furious, veins appeared on his forehead, and the lights around him swayed, flickering.

When he was young, he joined the Chengfeng Sect, but later became estranged from his family and drew a clear line between them.

Only in this way could he be truly cultivated by the Chengfeng Sect as a direct descendant.

Later, he attached himself to the granddaughter of Elder Yuanying and became a Taoist couple.

Now that he has become a veteran Yuanying Zhenjun, he doesn’t have to worry about so many things and can get in touch with his family again.

Thinking of old times is only one aspect.

After he was promoted to the Nascent Soul stage, he felt that he had reached his limit and his luck was running out.

Later, he received advice from a fortune teller, Feng Shui master, who said that he had cut off ties with his family bloodline and thus ruined his Feng Shui fortune.

If the family can provide offerings to the descendants, perhaps things will improve.

It is not uncommon for living Yuanying ancestors in the world of immortal cultivation to leave Feng Shui tablets in the ancestral temples of their descendants.

"The marriage contract with Cai must be finalized as soon as possible! I just happened to be returning to my clan, and I want to see which evil creature in the clan it is..."
