Taoist help me live forever

Huang Xiaoliu was born in Lanling County under the city of Wangshu Mansion. His ancestors were all out-and-out tenant farmers who served the Lingtian for the Huang family of the local Jindan family.

Because he was the sixth child in his family, he named him Xiao Liu, and the whole family lived a life where they could neither get rich nor starve to death.

It wasn't until he was 12 years old that he showed his aptitude in practice for the first time.

So the family reduced their clothes and dieted for him to practice. Huang Xiaoliu lived up to everyone's expectations and worked hard to practice for 30 years. Now the strength of the eighth level of Qi training is neither high nor low.

In their village, they are already ranked among the top three masters.

And not long after he broke through to the later stage of Qi training, he was promoted by the Huang family to be a local supervisor because of his innocence, and his status and status were immediately different.

So a typical example of the rise of a poor family appeared like this.

If there is no accident, after two generations, and each generation of their family has seeds of practice, then there will be a chance to cultivate foundation-building monks, and then add their names back to the Huang family tree, becoming a collateral clan of the Jindan family, and have a birth from then on.

However, plans can never keep up with changes.

The beast tide is coming.

Similar to the situation in Autumn Wind City, the Huang family needs to shrink their strength, retreat to the Lingmai Cave Mansion, and fight against the impact of the beast tide with the local clan forces and the City Lord's Mansion.

His cultivation level is not bad, he was selected by the Huang family, and he can also enter the mountain protection formation with three places.

But he couldn't leave his family behind.

Back then, in order to support his practice, the two elder brothers were not married at the age of 30, but the three elder sisters got married early because of the gift of a few extra spirit stones from their husband's family.

The resources he started to practice were saved from his family's teeth, and every piece of spiritual stone was soaked with the blood and sweat of his family.

How could he turn a blind eye when the crisis came and put them in danger.

However, others were light-hearted, and the Huang family gave him three places, which was already the limit.

He bid farewell to the Huang family, turned around and took the whole family to pack their belongings and embarked on the road of escape.

However, the danger on the road will not let them go just because they are poor people, but the danger will only focus on poor people like them.

Lanling County is only three hundred miles away from Wangshufu City.

The three-hundred-mile escape route was drenched in the blood of ordinary people.

This road is a carnival of robbery.

In Huang Xiaoliu's view, sometimes people's hearts are more terrifying than the beast tide.

Ordinary people with all their possessions and new hopes of survival struggled hard, but made themselves prey in the eyes of others.

Obviously everyone is at the bottom of survival, but one of them hurts the most.

Even if he is a monk at the eighth level of Qi training, he is not capable of protecting the entire extended family.

After decades of rooting and growing, the Huang family is no longer a family of eight. Parents don't matter. When the elder sister gets married, she has her husband's family, and her husband's family also has her own relatives.

The same is true for the elder brother, and the sister-in-law's natal family is a big family.

There are nearly a hundred relatives who are involved in the relationship.

Most of these people have given up the lowest level of practice.

After all, practice is very resource-intensive. If you don't have enough aptitude, you can only have one or two levels of cultivation and be able to serve the crops in the field.

They also don't know how to practice those lethal spiritual skills. If they have that kind of skill, it would be more practical to learn a few fists and kicks.

When these people meet Jiexiu who specializes in robbing and killing monks, one can imagine what will happen.

Huang Xiaoliu watched helplessly as hundreds of teams were downsized along the way, leaving a few corpses on the road almost every day.

It's also fortunate that those powerful Jiexiu didn't like them.

Only those Jiexiu who are not good enough and not strong hang around like hyenas, tearing off a few pieces of flesh from them from time to time.

Fortunately, after approaching Fucheng, those robbery cultivators did not dare to show up at will.

From the initial anger to the later silence, Huang Xiaoliu's mind gradually became exhausted.

All he can do is protect his closest family members.

He knew that other relatives were complaining and cursing him behind his back, but he could only act as if he hadn't heard anything.

He thought he could protect everyone, but he found himself so powerless.

He could only hold the spirit stone tightly, restore mana as soon as possible, and improve his cultivation as much as possible.

Never before had he longed for power as much as he did now.

Ever since he broke through the late stage of Qi training and was promoted from a tenant farmer of the Huang family to a supervisor, he has not consciously slacked off on his practice.

After all, he has practiced for so long, and now that his family life is better, he still can't enjoy it.

His practice was never for the Dao of Longevity, that kind of goal was too far away from him, he just wanted to make his family's life better.

But everything now tells him everything.

False prosperity and peace are only temporary illusions. When turmoil is approaching, only the power under one's own control can protect oneself and one's family.

……

Today, the Huang family lives in the most remote slum in Fucheng, crowded together with other refugees. They don't even have a house, but live in simple shacks.

Although there are still various problems in life, at least the danger is greatly reduced.

As night fell, Huang Xiaoliu sat in front of the hut to watch the night, while other family members huddled under the small hut and fell asleep exhausted.

He thought of the news circulating among the "high-level monks" who were at the peak of Qi training in the slums recently, stared at the blazing bonfire in front of him, and secretly made a decision.

It's midnight.

There was a rustling sound in the shack.

Huang Xiaoliu's parents came out together.

Huang Xiaoliu's parents are also monks, but their cultivation bases are not high, one is at the second level of Qi training, and the other is at the third level of Qi training.

This is the cultivation level that Huang Xiaoliu broke through only after he found a spiritual pill for the elders to assist in their cultivation after Huang Xiaoliu developed.

Because of their cultivation, and the fact that life has been better these years, both of them look like middle-aged people in their 50s and [-]s, except that their skin is darker.

"Sixth son, your mother and I will watch over you in the second half of the night, you should go and rest first."

"Father, mother, I want to take a gamble."

Huang Xiaoliu didn't get up, but threw a piece of dead wood into the bonfire, and the flames rose high, reflecting his weather-stained face.

"Sixth son, you are the pillar of the family now, and you have the most knowledge. Your mother and I have been farming our whole life, and we have never been out of the fifty miles around the county seat in our entire life.

What you want to do, you must have your plan, and your mother and I will not interfere with you. "

Huang Xiaoliu's father said so.

His mother also added: "Mother listens to your father."

"Father and mother, continue to rest. With my cultivation base, it doesn't matter if I don't sleep for a few days. I'll be there in the second half of the night."

Huang Xiaoliu's eyes gradually became firm, and his voice was undeniably firm.

In the early morning of the next day, Huang Xiaoliu walked into the bustling inner city with most of the spirit stones that the Huang family had accumulated in recent years.

……

"Great Fellowship!"

Huang Xiaoliu looked up at the gilded plaque and unconsciously read his name.

According to rumors, this Datong Association was founded by an old-fashioned and loving Loose Cultivator. With "I am everyone, everyone is me" as the meeting's agenda, it also received strong support from the palace master.

In less than two months after appearing in Wangshu Mansion, it has sponsored several foundation-building monks to break through the golden core realm, and there are more than a dozen qi-training monks breaking through the foundation, most of them are casual cultivators.

And he came here to find a hope.

"Fellow Daoist, are you also here to participate in the Great Love Project?"

A delicate-looking female monk appeared in front of Huang Xiaoliu wearing a cheongsam uniform that accentuated her figure, with a decent smile on her face.

It is the lobby reception of the Datong Association.

Facing the waitress, Huang Xiaoliu, who had dealt with Tian Di all his life, his heart beat wildly, feeling ashamed.

"Yes, it is."

The so-called big love project is to save spirit stones to participate in the lottery, so as to make a big fortune with a small one.

Of course, you have to pay back when you get the prize.

But everyone took it for granted, and even thanked Dade.

People who can borrow money without looking at their relationship these days, who doesn't like it, who doesn't appreciate it.

"Okay, this way please."

The waitress didn't care about Huang Xiaoliu's absence, and invited him to the back hall.

"Friend Daoist, please wait in line here, it will be your turn soon."

Huang Xiaoliu followed the waitress' guidance and looked forward, and saw a long snake-like team lined up.

His heart couldn't help beating.

"so many people?"

The waitress had already turned around to leave, but upon hearing this, she turned around and sighed at Huang Xiaoliu:

"Because there are too many people in need of help in this world"

Huang Xiaoliu froze for a moment, then nodded silently.

After half an hour.

Huang Xiaoliu finally got to the head of the queue.

The person who registered for them was a middle-aged monk sitting behind a table with a blank expression on his face, and he was not easy to mess with at first glance. His aura was as deep as the sea. He had only felt it from the old ancestor of the Huang family.

This is actually a Jindan Daoist!
Huang Xiaoliu was once again shocked by the background of the Datong Association.

"You know the rules, right?"

The middle-aged monk asked lightly, his spiritual sense had already scanned Huang Xiaoliu's body, confirming his cultivation.

"know."

Huang Xiaoliu nodded quickly, and offered a storage bag containing a thousand spirit stones.

On the way of queuing just now, the staff of the Datong Association explained to them the specific rules of the Daai project.

The Great Love Project helps the world, the so-called everyone for one, one for everyone.

As long as these qi training monks deposit a thousand spirit stones in the Datong Association, they can immediately participate in the lottery.

Once drawn, you can get a Foundation Establishment Pill, take it immediately, so as not to resell it privately.

After the breakthrough is successful, it is necessary to make up the price difference of Zhuji Dan within ten years.

If it fails, the Datong Association will not be embarrassed, but it will lose the opportunity to participate in the Daai project.

If not drawn, the spirit stone cannot be returned, but there will be another chance to continue drawing lots every year thereafter.

"Now that I know, I won't talk nonsense."

The middle-aged monk took the spirit stone, swept it with his spiritual sense, and counted it easily, and then took out a blue jade stick from the table.

"This is your lottery voucher, go and wait later."

Huang Xiaoliu took the jade stick with a warm hand, it was obviously very light, but it felt inexplicably heavy.

Then he was led to the backyard.

"There are monks from the Datong Society secretly guarding the courtyard. You are not allowed to jump in the queue, and you are not allowed to leave the team after queuing. If you leave the team, you will lose your qualifications."

In the center of the backyard was a large cauldron, filled with stone balls, about the size of an adult's fist, gray-white.

This big tripod is called the Great Love Tripod. There are a hundred stone balls in the tripod, and there are ten real balls inside, and a foundation building pill is hidden in each real ball.

This stone ball is made of stones from the Lingshi Mine, which has the function of isolating the consciousness. Not to mention those Qi training monks, even the Foundation Establishment monks cannot penetrate the stones.

Many monks patted in front of the cauldron, and handed the jade sticks in their hands to a female cultivator in front of the cauldron who was wearing the same uniform as the outside waiter, but with more complicated cuff patterns, and then reached out to touch the cauldron.

It could be seen that the monk touching the ball was very nervous, and even the other monks in the team also became nervous.

puff!

The stone ball was smashed into powder by the monk, and there was nothing inside.

The monk who drew lots turned pale, and wanted to say something, but was glared at by the female nun, and fell backward staggeringly.

He had no choice but to walk aside in desperation, but his eyes were fixed on Dading.

If he couldn't get ten real balls out, he might cause a big scene.

For some reason, Huang Xiaoliu panicked.

Was he too impulsive, and dared to gamble all his wealth? If he had the same fate as the monk just now, how would he end up?

But here, he has no room for regret.

In silence, the team moved forward slowly, bursting into cheers from time to time, and someone had hit the real ball.

It was a golden panacea, and it was hard to forget just by looking at it.

The monk who was drawn stood aside with his head upright, in stark contrast to the crowd who were unwilling to lose.

Next, they will make a breakthrough in the meditation room provided by the Datong Association.

When it was Huang Xiaoliu's turn, there were about thirteen or fourteen balls left in the cauldron, but only seven real balls were drawn out, which means there were still three Foundation Establishment Pills in it.

His chances are great!

Huang Xiaoliu couldn't form his mood at the moment, he blankly handed the jade lotus to the nun, and touched the stone ball with his palm.

Knowing that the spiritual sense is useless, but still can't help but reach out the spiritual sense to check, but nothing is found.

The stone ball seems to be wrapped in a layer of fog, making it impossible to see through.

He hesitated for a while, but before the female cultivator could urge her, the cultivator behind him became anxious.

"Fellow Daoist, don't hurry up, this ball is almost taken away by you."

"Yes, three out of thirteen, what are you hesitating about?"

"Made, get out of my way if you don't smoke!"

……

The excitement on the faces of the monks who had been waiting for a long time was obvious, and their chances of winning were very high.

If it weren't for the staff of the Datong Association watching at the scene, the monks behind would probably fight for their positions.

"That's it."

Huang Xiaoliu grabbed a stone ball, mana surged in his body, there was a click, and the stone ball split open on the spot, revealing a golden Foundation Establishment Pill sealed by beeswax.

"Made, one less!"

The monk behind him took a sip, but Huang Xiaoliu was overwhelmed by surprise.

"I got it! I got it! I got it!"

"Tsk tsk, another crazy one!"

The monks watching from the side sighed, but they couldn't stop their envy in their eyes. At the same time, they looked at Dading even more fieryly.

Huang Xiaoliu didn't know how he spent the next time.

He only held onto the Foundation Establishment Pill tightly in his hand, waiting for all the stone balls in a big cauldron to be grabbed, and it really was ten Foundation Establishment Pills.

Some monks who did not give up left in frustration, and at the same time received the lottery voucher issued by the Datong Association after one year.

……

In the quiet room, Huang Xiaoliu calmed down and adjusted his breath quietly.

The time when he broke through the ninth level of Qi training was still on the way of his family's escape, so not long ago, although it is possible to break through the foundation building at this moment, it is actually very risky, and the success rate is not too high.

But the Datong Society would never give him the chance to leave with Zhu Jidan.

But now that he's here, he's ready.

The current situation is chaotic, and there is no room for him to hesitate too much time.

This time he was lucky enough to draw the Foundation Establishment Pill, which was the closest he was to the Foundation Establishment realm in his life.

Originally, he had almost no relationship with Foundation Establishment in his whole life.

"A thousand spirit stones, for a chance to break through, it's worth it!"

Huang Xiaoliu gritted his teeth and swallowed Zhujidan into his stomach.

The breakthrough begins!
……

three days later.

Huang Xiaoliu walked out of the quiet room with a dazed expression on his face. The Datonghui staff members who were waiting at the door were stunned for a moment, and then showed respectful expressions on their faces.

"Congratulations, senior, for your successful breakthrough, please go this way."

"well."

Huang Xiaoliu is still a bit unaccustomed to his new status as a Foundation Establishment cultivator, even in the face of the low-level cultivators of the Datong Association, he still has respect.

Soon, Huang Xiaoliu was led into a hall.

There was an imposing old monk waiting in the hall. He didn't hide his intentions at all, he was actually a golden core real person!

Huang Xiaoliu saluted respectfully.

"Junior Huang Xiaoliu, I have met senior."

"Haha, we will be a family from now on, just call me old Qi."

Due to his outstanding working ability, Qi Chunshen was transferred to the current Fucheng headquarters of the Datong Association as a personnel officer and continued to shine.

"I've met Mr. Qi." Huang Xiaoliu was as good as he was.

"Then I'll call you Xiao Liu."

Qi Chunshen smiled and said:
"Xiao Liu, since you have made a breakthrough, you should know the rules of the Great Love Project. You have to pay off Zhu Jidan's debts within ten years. Is there any doubt?"

"No."

Huang Xiaoliu shook his head, confident in repaying the debt.

The Foundation Establishment cultivator is already a mid-level cultivator, and he can work as a guard in any chamber of commerce, and he can get an annual salary of several thousand spirit stones.

The market price of Jidan is only about [-] spirit stones. He mistreated his own practice a few years ago, so he scraped it together.

Qi Chunshen said, "Xiao Liu, where will you go after you break through? And how do you plan to repay the debt?"

Huang Xiaoliu shook his head and said, "Not yet."

Qi Chunshen looked kindly: "Then how about I introduce you to a job?"

For some reason, Huang Xiaoliu felt his back go cold, swallowed, and forced a smile.

"I don't know what advice Mr. Qi has?"

Qi Chunshen smiled and said: "That's right, you also know that our Datong has such a great momentum, helping you and other low-level monks who have no connections is inseparable from the support of the Palace Master.

But the master of the palace deeply felt the pain caused by monsters, so he planned to prepare a demon-killing army, but there was a shortage of manpower.

So I thought of recommending you to participate. "

Huang Xiaoliu's complexion changed slightly: "Old Qi, this junior still has family members to take care of, so it's inconvenient to stay away."

Qi Chunshen didn't seem to understand his rejection, and continued to laugh:

"Don't worry, your salary is very high, and you can get three or four thousand spirit stones every year. After three or four years of work, you can pay off your debts and be free.

Even if you die in the line of duty unfortunately, we will not embarrass your family, but will give you generous pensions. "

Huang Xiaoliu fell silent.

Qi Chunshen waited patiently.

"Old Qi, can you really be free?"

Huang Xiaoliu knew that there is no such thing as a free lunch, so he didn't feel angry at the moment, instead he felt relieved that it was true.

Qi Chunshen said displeased: "Could it be that I am a real person, and I will deceive you, a junior? I am afraid that you will be reluctant to leave when the time comes.

If it wasn't for the lack of manpower in the early stage of the elite team led by the Lord Palace Master, do you think you can be selected? "

Huang Xiaoliu nodded: "Old Qi, I am willing."

"Is it really voluntary? Our president has said that you must never be forced. The Datong Association has never been an organization that bullies men and women."

Qi Chunshen reiterated.

Huang Xiaoliu smiled wryly: "It's voluntary."

half a month later.

Huang Xiaoliu joined the Demon Elimination Army with a group of new Foundation Establishment monks who voluntarily joined the Demon Elimination Army, as well as Qi training monks who heard that the monthly salary was very high, and they could apply for Foundation Establishment Pills for meritorious service, and started their life-and-death military career.

The transition from a spiritual farmer to a sergeant came so unexpectedly. (end of this chapter)
