My whole family cultivated immortality without telling me

Chapter 514 Let’s reminisce about the past! I’ll make the arrangements!
At the gate of Xian City.

Bai Wumo held his great-granddaughter's hand, adjusting the strength all the time.

If she grows up, I’m afraid her great-granddaughter will be sad; if she grows up, I’m afraid she will fly away again.

Bai Xiaolian, who was looking at Xian City curiously, felt something and felt warm in her heart. Her soft and tender little hand broke free, retracted halfway, and slipped into Bai Wumo's elbow. Finally, she smiled sweetly.

"Hahaha," Bai Wumo laughed, "I asked who is the happiest person in Tianjian City right now, but no one dared to speak!"

"Grandpa!"

"Okay, okay, keep a low profile. Keep a low profile. I won't say anything more. Let's go!"

"Grandfather, was the Immortal City established by the imperial court?"

"Haha, Xiaolian, can you believe what you are seeing?"

Bai Xiaolian shook her head and said with emotion: "I still remember Qin Wu when I left home. Ten years have passed in a flash. The outline is still there, but the core has changed."

"Yes, in just a dozen years, let alone you," Bai Wumo sighed, "I was in the Heaven's Punishment, and before I could react, Qin Wu was like this."

This is worth pondering.

What could make Qin Wu, a first-rank official, unable to react?
Bai Xiaolian was not interested in government affairs. She saw that Great Grandfather had a look of hesitation, but no depression...

"Most likely he wasn't suppressed in the court..."

That's even less interesting.

"At worst, we can take Grandpa away and let him spend his old age in the sect."

Her mind was made up, and she became indifferent again, chatting as she walked.

Xianshi was crowded with people, divided into left and right sides with clear boundaries.

Bai Xiaolian narrowed her eyes slightly when she saw a monk in blue clothes holding an umbrella and carrying a box, gracefully walking out of a small shop called Xiaodian.

Whether in expression or behavior, the blue-robed monk exudes nobility everywhere.

She subconsciously wanted to release her spiritual sense, and after thinking for a while, she asked, "Grandfather, these blue-robed monks must be from some powerful background, right?"

"Hmm... hm?" Bai Wumo reacted, took a serious look, and compared it with his past experience. The corners of his mouth twitched slightly, "It's a delivery man."

Bai Xiaolian frowned: "What do you mean...delivering food?"

"That's right..." Bai Wumo smacked his lips, "The customer was too lazy to go out, so he asked the store to send someone to deliver it to his door."

Bai Xiaolian opened her mouth slightly: "This, this is a cultivator!"

Bai Wumo said happily: "Didn't expect that?"

"I really didn't expect that..." After calming down, Bai Xiaolian felt that it was nonsense. She wanted to comment on it, but couldn't find the words to say it. She could only shake her head and said, "Unbelievable."

Bai Wumo did not explain, and smiled: "The one wearing blue is called Ele.me. There is also a group of people wearing yellow in the city, called Single Rider to Save the Lord. They have both monks and mortals. They do bigger business and give away everything. Recently, they even sent girls to your door..."

"Great Grandpa!" Bai Xiaolian pushed him gently.

"Haha, you thought it was not serious?" Bai Wumo said with a smile, "Do you still remember Yingchun Tower?"

Bai Xiaolian nodded slightly.

Bai Wumo sighed and said, "People hardly do that business anymore."

Bai Xiaolian was curious: "How do you make a living?"

"Sparring partner."

"Sparring partner?"

"This..." Bai Wumo couldn't catch up with his studies, so he waved his hand back and said, "Let me introduce you to the young lady."

The old servant of the staff stepped forward with a bow.

As a man who makes a living by talking, he explained everything clearly to Bai Xiaolian in just a few words and even left an introduction.

"A people-benefiting project?"

"To answer Miss, this is the latest move by the imperial court. One of them is the simplified practice measure. In addition, there are various care and welfare benefits for widows, widowers, lonely people, the elderly, the weak, the sick, the disabled, and pregnant women. There is free education in schools across the country, and nutritious breakfasts are provided..."

Bai Xiaolian was stunned.

"If this continues...how long can Qin Wu last? Three months? Half a year?"

Bai Wumo smiled and said, "I'm not sure about that, but I heard that when discussing the people-benefiting project, Minister Hu didn't even frown."

Hu Butang, the Minister of Revenue, Bai Xiaolian still remembers this man.

"It means that Qin Wu's treasury is full," she smiled slightly, "In the past ten years, Qin Wu has seized a great opportunity."

The old slave was about to open his mouth, but stopped, bowed and retreated.

"But you are wrong," Bai Wumo shook his head, "Qin Wu has not changed much in the thirteen years since you left. What you have seen so far is only in the past six months."

Bai Xiaolian was really shocked: "Why is it so?"

"Haha, Grandpa Rong is keeping us in suspense," Bai Wumo extended his hand to lead the way, "Let's go shopping first, and then talk."

What we saw along the way was similar to the markets in the world of immortal cultivation.

The small differences are enough to subvert your cognition.

When the group arrived at the investment bank, Bai Xiaolian finally exclaimed, "Is this Immortal City only open to mortals?"

"That's right," Bai Wumo said with approval, "It can even be said that all the cultivators who make a living in the Immortal City are serving the Qinwu mortals."

Bai Xiaolian was a little dazed.

She was once extraordinary among mortals.

When she was in elementary school, she was noticed by a monk and brought into the world of immortal cultivation, but at the same time, her extraordinary qualities were erased.

After practicing for more than ten years, she regained her extraordinaryness, but she was no longer an ordinary person.

Not to mention cultivation, experience, and character, Bai Xiaolian's understanding of the difference between immortals and mortals has reached its limit.

"Grandfather, if you act like this, I'm afraid..."

"Do you think Qin Wu is humiliating the monks?"

Bai Xiaolian sighed secretly and said softly: "Even if he is just a casual cultivator, if the news gets out, it will not be good for Qin Wu."

"Haha," Bai Wumo smiled, "Keep watching."

Further along the way.

There was more and more bizarreness in Bai Xiaolian's eyes.

"Aunt, I was taught to chop someone in half, but you're going to chop someone by the ankle, who can stand that?"

"What nonsense, are you going or not?"

"Go away, Auntie, I can take the job, but at your price, I can only make one trip..."

"What do you mean?"

"I just want you to sign an agreement that guarantees loss but not damage. You know, puppets are not taken lightly..."

……

Just after listening to the bargaining conversation between the cultivators and the mortals, she saw a group of old farmers surrounding a young cultivator leaving the Immortal City.

The old farmer was smacking his lips and talking nonstop.

But as soon as he looked at the young monk, his eyes immediately became respectful.

The young monk seemed to have made little money and was a little dissatisfied. However, after being complimented by the old farmer, he finally smiled.

"That's your Liu Village. If it's Li Village, there's no way they'd pay that much!"

"Fuck, Xiao Huang, you only charged ten taels in Licun?"

“Don’t worry, next time you go to Li Village to collect twenty taels, they will give it to you!”

"Why?"

"We can tell everyone when we get back. We spent twenty taels to treat Xiao Huang this time... Isn't that enough?"

……

"That young monk has clearly reached the second realm..."

What is a second-level cultivator?

No matter how shabby your body is, you can still live for more than 200 years.

With all the means combined, it took no more than a month to destroy the mortal kingdom.

"So this kind of person came to Qinwu and bowed down for ten taels of silver?" Bai Xiaolian couldn't bear it anymore and stopped and said, "Grandpa, this is too ridiculous."

Bai Wumo smiled and asked, "Why do you think so?"

"Grandfather, you have never been to the world of immortal cultivation, so you don't know..." Bai Xiaolian paused, and turned her wrist, and a large piece of gold appeared in her palm, "In the eyes of cultivators, gold and silver are like shit..."

"Put it away!"

Bai Xiaolian was very obedient, and the gold disappeared in an instant.

But the three gazes that fell on her refused to go away.

"Grandfather," Bai Xiaolian glanced at the three monks, secretly on guard, and asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"

"I'll explain it to you later."

Bai Wumo said this and ran to find the three monks. After a negotiation, he took out the Five Military Commander's Token, and the other party nodded...

As a result, two of them left and the remaining one continued to serve.

Bai Xiaolian was stunned.

When Bai Wumo returned, she couldn't help but ask, "Xian City has become a country of its own?"

"Haha, it's not that serious," Bai Wumo smiled, "Now in Qinwu, any gold and silver in circulation exceeding 500 taels must be reported to the bank authorized by the court."

Bai Xiaolian smiled: "Can you control the monks?"

"Uh, this..." Bai Wumo paused and looked at the old slave.

The old slave said respectfully, "From the beginning, I was in charge of the monks."

"Can the monks hear?"

"Those who don't listen are all in the inner prison of the Imperial Guard."

Bai Xiaolian was silent for a long time and then asked, "What do they want?"

"That's a lot," the old slave said with a smile, "The court has set up a certification center for independent cultivators, covering many trades such as alchemy and weapon refining. If independent cultivators want to gain a foothold in the Immortal City, they must first pass the test and obtain the certificate..."

"What virtue and ability does Qin Wu have?"

"I know this," Bai Wumo said with a smile, "The court has invited the elders of the Guixu Sect, the Beast Sect and other sects to come and take charge."

The old slave also added: "The research center is in our Jingzhongfang. Miss, you can go and have a look when you are free."

"Guixu Sect, Beast Sect... I seem to have heard fellow disciples mention these two small sects?"

Bai Xiaolian vaguely felt that she had grasped the key point.

"If independent cultivators can obtain a certificate recognized by the major sects, it will be beneficial for them to travel the world of immortal cultivation..."

But is that enough?
The old servant seemed to have noticed something and replied respectfully: "In addition, Qinwu also accepts applications from independent cultivators to become Qinwu citizens..."

accept?

That's the opposite!

Bai Xiaolian was speechless when the old slave spoke again.

"But the monk must go through formal channels, make meritorious contributions to Qin Wu, accumulate enough points for naturalization, and then be reviewed before success."

What does it mean to reverse the Tiangang?

That's it.

Absurdity is fun.

If you see too much, you will get tired.

Seeing his great-granddaughter was perfunctory, Bai Wumo smiled and said, "I am tired, Xiaolian, let's find a place to rest."

"Ah."

The group did not reach the Law Department shop, but turned around and went back to the Xianshi shop and went upstairs.

The private room has already been booked.

"Mao's Braised Pork, three servings first..."

"Spicy chicken, two servings..."

"Please let the guests know that the spicy chicken is limited to one serving per table. I'm really sorry..."

"Okay, then I'll have one..." Bai Wumo pointed to the back, too lazy to say anything else, and pointed at three things, "This, this, and this..."

Bai Xiaolian smiled: "Grandfather, Lian'er has already fasted for a long time..."

"Lian'er doesn't want to eat, but great grandfather will have to eat." Bai Wumo laughed and looked at the waiter, "Don't take these three, but give me one portion for the others."

The waiter showed no strange expression and respectfully accepted the order. Just as he was about to leave, Bai Wumo stopped him. "Does your restaurant have any chicken soup?"

"I'm really sorry, but the chicken soup is only available at the main store... How about ordering takeout for you?"

Bai Wumo was a little disappointed, shook his head and smiled: "Forget it, thank you, little brother."

The waiter left.

The room was silent.

Yesterday, Bai Xiaolian was troubled by homesickness and ran into an old classmate by chance, so she had no time.

I took a walk around Xian City today. Even though it felt absurd, the desire to explore still emerged.

At this moment, she was sending out her spiritual consciousness to explore the heavenly punishment from afar.

Seeing his great-granddaughter like this, Bai Wumo did not disturb her. He calmed down and thought about how to start the conversation later.

"Grandpa."

"Ok?"

"Why are there so many poles in the City of Punishment?"

“Oh, it’s called a wireless pole.”

"What's the use?"

"For communications."

After the old servant explained, Bai Xiaolian suddenly understood and frowned, "Is this necessary?"

"Haha, let's not talk about anything else," Bai Wumo said happily, "Now if I want to scold someone, I just need to pick up the microphone."

"Let the young lady know," the old servant said respectfully, "The wireless poles connect the inside and outside, and the imperial court's decree can reach the thirteen states in a snap. In addition... I heard that Qinwu and Guixu Sect have successfully connected, and the more than 600,000 miles of Tianjian have become a thoroughfare..."

Bai Xiaolian was moved after hearing this.

But think about it, you are a cultivator, and to communicate with friends, all you need is a communication talisman.

"It's just that swearing is a bit troublesome..."

After all, no one would send a message to their enemy.

"The wireless pole is really good and refreshing," Bai Xiaolian chuckled, "Once this thing comes out, Qin Wu's ability to restrain him will increase greatly."

Bai Wumo nodded repeatedly.

"Yes, now Qin Wu is planning to expand his territory. Unfortunately, there are some things that Grandfather cannot tell you, but Lian'er, you can use your imagination."

Bai Xiaolian smiled and said, "One hundred thousand miles?"

Bai Wumo smiled and said, "The pattern can be bigger."

Bai Xiaolian restrained her smile and said seriously: "Grandpa, if it gets any bigger, it's not called expanding the territory, it's called invading."

Yes, invasion...

“But you also have to ask the various sects in the Guixu Sect’s territory to sue Qin Wu!”

Bai Wumo's sigh made him feel even more deeply about Shen Qingyun's actions.

The waiter brought the tea.

Bai Xiaolian glanced at the colorful milk tea in front of her, hesitated for a moment, then picked it up without any instruction, inserted the reed tube, and sipped it.

After taking two sips, her slightly frowned brows relaxed a little.

"Grandfather, if Xiaolian is right, Qin Wu must be a great talent."

"Oh?" Bai Wumo smiled, "Why?"

Bai Xiaolian sorted out her thoughts and talked freely.

"Qin Wu's development over the past six months seems to be assisted by God. Who is God? Even if it is the Guixu Sect and the Beast Sect, how can they, as a sect of immortal cultivation, attach so much importance to the mortal kingdom?"

Bai Wumo smiled and nodded.

"In my opinion, the help that the two sects provided to Qin Wu was truly astonishing," Bai Xiaolian paused and found an accurate description, "even to the point of distorting the concept of cultivation."

"Xiao Lian, can you tell me more about this?"

Bai Xiaolian smiled and said, "Grandfather, you won't understand the things in the world of immortal cultivation even if Xiaolian tells you, but what is certain is that the two sects have made such efforts, and Qin Wu, this great talent, is at least a single spiritual root!"

Bai Wumo and the old slave listened with great interest, and when the last sentence came out, they looked at each other in surprise.

This... seems I have never heard of it.

"Grandfather, you guys..."

Bai Wumo sighed inwardly and was about to speak when the waiters started serving the dishes.

Seeing great-grandfather eating voraciously, Bai Xiaolian waited with a smile.

As for the dishes, she didn't even look at them.

After satisfying his craving a little, Bai Wumo sighed with satisfaction, put down his chopsticks, thought for a while, and then spoke.

"Xiao Lian, you only see the Immortal Market, but you don't know that there are big supermarkets outside the Immortal Market..."

"You only see the independent cultivators bowing and scraping, but you have never seen the cultivators from various sects breaking their heads to enter the court to serve as officials..."

"You only saw Qin Wu's territorial expansion of thousands of miles, but you didn't see that Qin Wu had an equally large enclave 890,000 miles away..."

"You only see the surface cause and effect, but have you ever thought that...the cause and effect may be reversed?"

……

Bai Xiaolian listened carefully, and after appreciating it, she asked, "Is cause and effect reversed?"

"Qin Wu is a great talent," Bai Wumo said with deep emotion, "but how do Guixu Sect and the Beast Sect know this?"

Bai Xiaolian was stunned.

"He did something."

"What's the matter?"

"Based on what you just saw..." Bai Wumo's expression gradually became serious, "and what I just said."

Upon hearing this, Bai Xiaolian frowned at first, and then her pupils slowly contracted.

"The Immortal City, the big supermarket, the independent cultivators, the sect cultivators serving as officials, the people-benefiting projects, the wireless wires, and even the enclaves... one person?"

Bai Wumo nodded.

"There is also the first Fan Guixumen Territory Cultivation World Games to be held the day after tomorrow."

"Sports meeting?"

"The ten statues in the south of the city symbolize the Ten Directions Alliance. The sports meet was held by the Ten Directions."

Bai Xiaolian was lost in thought.

In a trance, she used all the above events to outline the outline of a great talent in her mind.

Outline blurred.

“But within this outline, there is room for the six words ‘talent that can control everything in the world.’”

Bai Xiaolian let out a long breath, her brows completely relaxed, and she said admiringly: "Xiaolian understands, it is because of this great talent's various methods that the local immortal cultivation sects look at him with a different eye and then help Qin Wu..."

"Wrong," Bai Wumo smiled and shook his head, "It's not about helping Qin Wu, but a win-win situation."

"Win-win?"

Bai Wumo smiled and said, "That's right. I didn't pay attention to it before, but after paying attention and thinking about it, I found that the main purpose of this person's actions is win-win."

"Win-win..." Bai Xiaolian found it more and more delicious, and praised, "Just by hearing these two words, I know this person is going to do great things."

"Big deal? Haha." Bai Wumo pointed at the milk tea in his great-granddaughter's hand, "Your stuff was also made by that person."

Bai Xiaolian was stunned.

"There is also this table of food," Bai Wumo said with a half-smile, "Xiao Lian, are you sure you don't want to try it?"

Bai Xiaolian hesitated for a moment, then smiled, picked up her chopsticks and reached for a plate.

The old servant hurriedly introduced: "Miss, this dish is called cold mixed seasonal vegetables, tender lotus root, fungus, carrots, and tender pea pods. It is characterized by its prominent garlic aroma, light taste, crispness, and a greasy taste..."

"I usually eat quite a bit."

eat?
"No, I just memorized the shop's recipes to prevent the old master from making the same mistake!"

The old servant was displeased when he heard this, but did not dare to explain.

Bai Xiaolian picked up a piece of lotus root and her mouth started to salivate with the vinegar. She chewed it a few more times and felt even more satisfied.

"My great grandfather always said that governing a big country is like cooking a small fish. Isn't that the best?"

"Haha," Bai Wumo was a little embarrassed, "I was just saying that. I didn't expect that someone could really do it to the extreme."

Bai Xiaolian tried another piece of spicy chicken. She wondered if the spicy taste was to her liking...

"Xiao Lian would like to meet this person."

Eh?
Isn't this what I've been waiting for?

Bai Wumo was secretly delighted when he heard this, but he just smiled: "This person is very busy with official duties, so I'm afraid it will be difficult to see him."

"If Xiaolian is not wrong," Bai Xiaolian said with a smile, "this person is the second Qin Wu walker."

Xiaolian knows everything?

Bai Wumo nodded and sighed.

"It's this person... Hey, he doesn't look like a young man at all. He was banned from walking when he was less than 20 years old, and he was very reluctant. He is very low-key. His name is Shen Qingyun, which is unworthy of the name..."

"puff!"

Bai Xiaolian sprayed a mouthful of colorful milk on Great Grandfather's face.

"What's your name?"

Bai Wumo wiped the milk expressionlessly and swallowed his saliva: "Shen Qingyun."

Forbidden martial arts department.

main entrance.

Shen Qingyun was competing with a monk in bowing to see who could bow lower.

"Lord Shen is here to welcome me. I am terrified..."

"Master Dan, you have misunderstood. I am not honoring you for your noble status, but for your innate gentleness, kindness and modesty!"

"Sir Shen is really polite. I came here to apologize, and secondly, Danzong wants to talk to Qin Wu..."

"Haha, Master Dan's presence here brings honor to the Forbidden Martial Arts Department. I suggest that we not discuss official business today, but only personal friendship. How do you think?"

"Great kindness, great kindness..."

"Master Dan... Ouch, Master Dan, please give me a hand, my waist is so weak..."

……

At the distant street corner.

A small white hand lowered itself, and the carriage curtain fell.

The owner of the little hand couldn't calm down.

"Danzong..."

Bai Xiaolian closed her eyes and murmured quietly.

She seemed to have heard of Guixu Sect and Beast Sect.

The name of Danzong was one that she couldn't avoid and had to hear of.

"And that monk, his last name is Dan..."

This means that Danxiake is a core disciple in Danzong.

With this understanding, Bai Xiaolian felt her cerebellum atrophy when she recalled the scene of the two of them bowing to each other just now.

Bai Wumo, standing aside, looked straight ahead, serious, but in his heart...

There are so many twists and turns.

Seeing his great-granddaughter open her eyes, he smiled and asked, "Now that you have seen her, how do you feel?"

Bai Xiaolian thought about it and smiled: "Grandpa, we are acquaintances."

"what?"

"When Xiaolian was young, she went to Chongmingfang School under a pseudonym. He was Xiaolian's classmate."

"Ah..." Bai Wumo suppressed his ecstasy and said solemnly, "Then we have to reminisce about the past! I'll arrange it!"

Eh?
Xiaolian felt something was wrong and glanced at her great-grandfather. She seemed to realize something, but she did not object and just nodded with a smile.
