Changsheng: I, Cao, can see the prompt

Chapter 438 Past events and past events
  Less than half an hour later, as the Qingxia Sect's high-level meeting ended, Cao Wei slowly walked out of the hall, taking one step forward. The next moment, he was already several miles away, and the figure where he was originally slowly dispersed.

When he took the next step, he appeared on the misty plank road of Qingxia Peak, his figure floating and his whereabouts uncertain.

Suddenly, a voice reached Cao Wei's ears: "Senior brother, when should I go to pay a visit to Master?"

"Senior Brother Bingzheng, if you are interested, you can just go." Cao Wei said slowly.

Upon hearing this, Bingzheng Chuanyin smiled and said: "That's not possible. Without senior brother to lead the way, the master may not accept me as his disciple."

Hearing this, Cao Wei chuckled lightly, stopped responding, and walked forward without thinking, and his figure suddenly disappeared from where he was.

Seeing this, Bingzheng stood up from a rock halfway up the Qingxia Peak. After stretching his waist, it dispersed into a burst of blood mist, which was blown away by the wind in the distance.

Cao Wei, on the other hand, walked slowly and unhurriedly through the sect, heading towards the Niujiao Mountain that was used to build the foundation for retreat and breakthrough when he first entered the sect.

He stood in front of the mountain gate, watching quietly without saying a word, his eyes showing memories.

At this moment, a middle-aged monk happened to fly in from a distance. From a distance, he saw a person standing at the gate of Lingshan Mountain in his cave. However, the figure was very unfamiliar and was not any fellow Taoist he knew.

The man frowned slightly, and after thinking for a few breaths, he flew down from the sky and stood dozens of feet away behind Cao Wei. He did not get too close to Cao Wei directly and rashly, but kept a suitable distance to avoid misunderstanding between them.

"My dear Niu Bo Rui, I just came to practice at Niu Shou Mountain two years ago. I wonder if I am an old acquaintance of you, fellow Taoist Chen?" Niu Bo Rui said, cupping his hand.

The Daoyou Chen mentioned in his mouth was the former foundation-building monk on Niushou Mountain. It's just that the other party went to Youyun Daze for training and accidentally left his life there.

Hearing this, Cao Wei slowly turned around and asked in an indifferent tone: "Are you a disciple of the Niu family in Cangshan?"

As soon as he saw Cao Wei's face, Niu Borui immediately bowed and said respectfully: "Greetings to Master Cao, my disciple is from the Niu family in Cangshan Mountain."

"Forgive me, we are destined to be together!" Cao Wei chuckled, and then the figure faintly disappeared, leaving only a bottle of elixir in place.

Seeing this, Niu Borui's face was filled with joy, he bowed his hands and said, "Disciple, thank you, uncle, for giving me the elixir!"

After a few breaths passed, he straightened up, held up the pill bottle on the ground with both hands to show respect, and then walked forward, submerging himself into the spiritual light restriction of the mountain gate in front.

After walking into the mountains, the joy on Niu Berry's face softened a little, and he reflected on whether he had lost etiquette just now.

After confirming again that there was no problem, he looked at the bottle of Bining Dan in his hand, but couldn't help but show a bit of regret on his face.

Although the Niu family and Cao Wei were related by marriage, he was not qualified to visit Master Cao. Now that he finally got to meet him once, he didn't have time to get closer to this elder, which was a pity!

If Master Cao could be given such a high look, his subsequent cultivation path would be much smoother.

While thinking this way, he slightly pulled out the cork of the bottle, and a strong fragrance of elixir came to him.

For a moment, Niu Berry's eyes widened, and he couldn't help blurting out in joy: "High-grade Bi Ning Dan."

This bottle of elixir alone can save him half a year of hard work.

Of course, this kind of foundation-building elixir is just something that Cao Wei can easily refine.

Just as Zeng Kui Ao said, when Master Xiaguang taught it to make alchemy, he opened the alchemy furnace, stuffed all the elixir minerals and other medicinal materials needed for the elixir into it, then lit a fire, and then activated it. With a flick of his mind, he peeled off the unnecessary components and put the rest together. The process was extremely simple.

And now Cao Wei is refining these foundation-building elixirs with such ease!
  ……

……

Cao Wei did not know about Niu Borui's reaction, and he did not specifically use his spiritual thoughts to observe this person.

After some calculations, the Niu family has been under his protection for more than two hundred years. Although no member of the clan has yet broken through the Golden Core stage, there are many foundation-building monks, so it can be said to be at its peak.

In Cao Wei's view, this was enough to repay Niu Shougang's recommendation and support in the past.

Now Niu Yuhan and Cao Guilin have passed away one after another, but the biological mother of the third son Cao Guihua is also a daughter of the Niu family.

But from now on, the relationship between the Cao family and the Niu family will depend on how the descendants of both parties get along. Cao Wei doesn't care, and it's none of his business.

After a while, Cao Wei walked out of the mountain forest and came to Baizhu Peak, which was hundreds of miles away.

Today, this place is still inhabited by the descendants of the Cao family, but almost all of these people were born when he went to Nanhuang and Sihai Palace, and he doesn't know any of them.

Cao Wei lowered his figure, walked around the mountain, and took a look at the former cave. He saw that there was already a foundation-building monk practicing in seclusion, but he didn't know which generation of his descendants this person was.

After a few breaths, he left without a sound.

Then Cao Wei took one step forward towards Baimang in the east, climbing over mountains and ridges and crossing rivers.

Until more than [-] miles away, he entered Cangshanfang City and strolled on the streets. He saw many shops under his Cao family's name along the way.

Nowadays, the Cao family's business is mainly in the beverage industry, so most of them are inns and restaurants.

In the past, the Zhiwei Winery opened by the female cultivator of the Hehuan Sect was now also under the Cao family's name.

Cao Wei went up and bought a gourd of wine, specifically asking for Baibian wine.

When the waiter heard this, he immediately smiled knowingly. While pouring the wine gourd overflowing for Cao Wei, he said: "Good wine, but don't be greedy!"

"Thank you." Cao Wei said with a smile. He reached out to take the wine gourd, then took a big sip, turned around and left laughing.

But after the person walked away, the boy looked thoughtful and said to himself: "I seem to have seen this person somewhere before?"

But before he could think about it, another guest called him over.

"Here you go." The boy responded with a smile and walked quickly.

This person is also a descendant of the Cao family, but he is just a mortal. Although he has some martial arts skills, he can be considered a first-class expert in the world. Unfortunately, he has no spiritual roots and cannot practice.

In the ancestral halls of various branches of the Cao family, Cao Wei's portrait is enshrined at the top.

However, the ancestral hall will only be opened during the Chinese New Year. As this young man, in their branch, he can only stand at the back of the crowd and can only vaguely see the portrait of Cao Wei, the ancestor. , so I couldn’t recognize it for a while.

At this time, Cao Wei had already walked out of another exit of Cangshanfang City, and then his body flickered forward in the mountains like a ghost. On the way, he also encountered several fights between Qi Lianqi cultivators, which not only robbed them of wealth and sex, but also robbed their lives.

There were even some impatient Jie Xiu who had not yet cleaned up the traces of the scene. In front of the Qian Xiu who was still staring at death, they couldn't wait to start things with the dying Kun Xiu on the spot and killed the person alive.

Cao Wei turned a deaf ear to this, and did not take action to rescue the injured Qi Refining cultivators, nor did he take action to kill those calamity cultivators.

His steps didn't pause at all, and he passed by these monks like the wind, without the other party noticing at all.

In his eyes, this kind of thing is extremely ordinary. It's just a robbery. If you are lucky, you can succeed. If you are unlucky, you are killed, so you can't blame others.

Since they have embarked on the path of spiritual practice, they must have this kind of awareness, otherwise they will return to the secular world. Although they will not live forever, they can still guarantee prosperity and wealth for the rest of their lives.

In today's world, it is no longer the time for monks to do nothing but practice quietly while playing the harp and burning incense.

When there are insufficient survival resources in the outside world, competition among various races and even the same race will naturally intensify. However, for the spiritual objects needed by the monks for their own practice, it is just a matter of life and death.

It's just that the spiritual objects that these Qi Refining monks compete for are usually only worth a few hundred or thousands of low-grade spiritual stones, which is not as valuable as a cup of tea that Cao Wei usually drinks.

Behind this kind of thing, in the final analysis, it is nothing more than a situation artificially created by Qingxia Sect through frame design.

In fact, both spiritual stones and other low-level spiritual objects are extremely abundant, far enough for these casual practitioners to practice.

The surplus income of his Cao family alone for a year can supply the spiritual stone needs of more than [-] Qi Refining monks for the whole year.

And if the Qingxia Sect releases the resources it controls, it will also be able to satisfy the thousands of Qi refining and casual cultivators in southern Xinjiang. In this way, disputes will naturally be greatly reduced, and everyone will become a noble hermit.

It's just that when foreigners look around, the three Nascent Soul Sects, Qingxia Sect, Hehuan Sect, and Yunfu Sect, will not agree to this kind of thing, no matter what their considerations are, nor will they allow any family to do this.

What the human race needs is the kind of monks who can conquer all sides, not those who only know how to practice.

But now, the sect is actually pretty good to casual cultivators.

Not long after the human race established its foothold in the Western Wilderness, the Elder Hall had not yet been established. Even if there were external enemies, the various cultivation areas and the various forces in the domain were not in peace with each other. The internal forces of the human race There are still constant fights between them.

It's just that compared to now, the battles between the big forces at that time were all about life and death, and they usually used various clear-cut reasons to bring in the casual cultivators first and use them as pawns to test the other party.

Of course, some casual cultivators will escape, but their mortal clansmen cannot escape. Some people will always be forced to stay because of this.

But now, with the interference of the Elder Hall, the battle between Yuanying sects is limited to themselves. They cannot threaten each other with their fellow mortals who are casual cultivators, let alone attack mortals.

But it’s hard to say whether this kind of thing is good or bad.

In the chaotic times before, in the world of great strife, there was no shortage of Jindan and Nascent Souls who were born as casual cultivators.

Now, although the various domains have stabilized, on the other hand, it also means that the control power of the Elder Hall and Yuanying Sect has greatly increased, which has led to the relative solidification of the hierarchy.

Of course, under this order, the human race as a whole can gather greater strength, but it is more difficult for people with grassroots backgrounds such as casual cultivators to get ahead.

In addition to opportunities, every casual cultivator who can break through the many constraints also needs to be thoughtful, steady and far-sighted in their actions, and not driven by their own emotions. Or simply speaking, they are people with a moral vacuum who do not recognize their relatives, thereby reducing their own mental internal friction.

……

……

After a while, Cao Wei arrived at Fenglinfang City, which was three to four hundred miles away.

Two or three hundred years have passed, and the overall layout of Fang City has also changed somewhat.

The small courtyard he rented where he had lived for several years had been torn down and rebuilt, and was no longer what it once was.

Once upon a time, Brother Lin rushed back here with his dying body, lay in Cao Wei's arms, and entrusted his wife and daughter to him with sincere words.

Of course, Cao Wei did not let him down. His eldest daughter, Cao Guimeng, still had to call him grandpa.

After walking around here, Cao Wei suddenly felt that everything had changed, and he suddenly felt a little boring.

And when he was about to turn around and leave, suddenly a voice came from the second floor of the restaurant not far away: "Decao, come in and have a rest."

Hearing this, Cao Wei couldn't help but chuckle, nodded and said, "Thank you, senior."

After saying that, he walked forward, entered the wine shop, and walked up to the second floor.

The whole floor was empty except for the great monk Lingyan sitting at a table and chair by the window.

"Greetings, senior." Cao Wei walked to the side and bowed his hands.

"Please sit down!" The great monk Lingyan chuckled.

As he spoke, he turned over the wine glass that was upside down on the table, poured a glass of water and wine, and put it on the opposite side.

After the salute, Cao Wei sat down without hesitation. He picked up the wine glass and saluted: "Junior, here's a toast to senior."

Hearing this, the great monk Lingyan picked up the wine glass in front of him and said slowly: "If you can call me master, I will be even happier."

As soon as he finished speaking, he drank all the wine in the glass.

After Cao Wei drank the wine in the cup, he picked up the wine pot and filled it for the other party first, and then poured it for himself.

While pouring the wine, he said: "Senior's kindness, I've taken care of it, but it's just difficult! Senior should understand the situation of this junior, right?"

"Are you talking about Yunhai, or your clan identity?" Lingyan asked slowly.

"Both! I don't like to owe other people debts. After all, the sect has spared no effort to cultivate me for more than two hundred years. During this period, when I was in Jiuyuan Tianjian, Master Xiaguang saved my life under the True Lord of Six Paths. After passing my life, Wan Hua and my uncles gave me many pointers on my practice. Grandmaster Yun Hai, Wu Xiang, and Yue Xuan, some of the great monks, must have done a lot for the sake of this junior's status as a Qingyang clan. Are you going to deal with all parties in the Elder's Hall? If they hadn't withstood the pressure, the disciple would have been kidnapped long ago. Senior, you said that it would be unreasonable if the junior has been practicing to this day and suddenly changes his family!" Cao Wei didn't He said quickly.

Upon hearing this, Ling Yan looked at Cao Wei, and the smile on his face became a little brighter.
