The Xu family follows Taoism and seeks longevity

If we want to ask who is the fastest monk in the history of the Xu family who has completed the entire foundation-building realm, the answer used to be Xu Zhiyu.

But it's different now. The answer now should be Xu Zhengyang and his wife. They were promoted to Foundation Establishment on the same day and entered the Zi Mansion at the same time. It only took a short period of more than 20 years.

If this is revealed, it will definitely cause shock in the entire Qin Immortal Cultivation World, but no one knows this secret yet.

Xu Shengsheng had also considered telling the family ancestor Xu Deming about the matter after his son and daughter-in-law became the Purple Mansion, but he did not expect that the two would break through so quickly, so he did not dare to say anything.

Taoyuanfang City, third-level cave mansion.

Xu Zhengyang and his wife had just finished meditating and were saying this in the cave.

Since breaking through the Purple Mansion Realm here, the two of them have never left and have been practicing their skills.

Because the two of them had very poor qualifications, they did not look for any advanced techniques, but practiced the golden elixir technique preserved by their family - "The Yin and Yang Book of Ultimate Bliss".

This kind of exercise does not depend on aptitude, and it is more effective for couples to practice it, so they naturally chose this kind of exercise.

Don't tell me, cultivation progress is not slow. Under normal circumstances, stabilizing the realm of Zifu and transforming the cultivation method cannot be completed in less than a year or two, but they only completed it in half a year.

"Husband, please tell me, what is the spiritual fruit that my son gave us? Why do I feel like I have broken through the Zifu, but I haven't digested its medicinal power yet?"

Xu's mother asked while helping Xu's father sort out his clothes.

"I have consulted many ancient books in the past few years, and I have also made inquiries with monks I know, but no one knows about this object. I guess Yu'er got it from some secret realm!"

Xu's father spread out his arms, and while cooperating with Xu's mother, he guessed.

"Hey, I wonder where Yu'er has gone? At first, he said he would go on a trip and come back in a few years, but it's been so long and there's no news at all."

Seeing that her husband turned a deaf ear to his complaints, Xu's mother was a little angry, gave Xu's father a little push, and said:

"Now that our retreat is over, can't you go back to the family and pretend to visit your father and ancestors, and then ask about Yu'er's situation? Maybe your son has sent a message back to the family?"

Xu Zhengyang remained unmoved in the face of his wife's urging. His face remained expressionless and he just said:
"Didn't my father come here before? Although we didn't get to meet each other because we were consolidating our cultivation, I also sent a message to him. He said that there was no news about Yu'er. It's only been half a year. Not even thinking about it.”

"If you don't want to go, I will go. Anyway, I have become a monk of Zifu now, and I don't have to look at anyone's face in the future!"

"Madam, please listen to me, father's instructions."

Before Xu Zhengyang finished speaking, he noticed that the formation in his cave had been touched.

"Who is the one?"

He made a silent gesture towards his wife, then took out the formation disk covering the cave, injected a bit of mana, and then he could clearly see the appearance of the person coming.

"What a coincidence. As soon as I mentioned my father, my father came."

Seeing Xu Shengsheng, the couple quickly tidied up and went out.

Although Mother Xu said something powerful just now, no one would be afraid of anyone in the Zifu, but she was still very afraid of her husband's father. The majesty of the past hundred years could not be eliminated in a short time.

At this time, outside the Xu couple's cave, in addition to Xu Shengsheng who was waiting at the door, there were also some foundation-building monks passing by, looking at the scene from a distance.

"What do you think the head of the Xu family is planning to do when he visits the seniors of the Xu family?" one person asked curiously, stretching his neck.

"Then who knows about going? Maybe they came here specifically to celebrate! This is also the first time in Xujiafang City that a foreign monk has achieved the success of the Zifu. It is something worth celebrating." A person next to him analyzed.

"Isn't it right? For the senior Xu family, this matter is indeed worthy of celebration, but for the Xu family, it may not be the same? There are only three Zifus in the Xu family now, and two more have suddenly appeared, which may not be the case for them. That’s a good thing.” Someone else expressed a different view.

"Then you only know one and not the other. The two seniors of the Xu family have joined the Xu family and become the elders of the guest family more than ten years ago when they first came here. The situation you are talking about is It won't happen."

The person who analyzed it before continued to reveal the news.

"That's hard to say. It's not like things have never happened before. The more this happens, the more careful you have to be."

As soon as these words came out, there was no one on the scene to answer the question. After all, this is the Xu family's market. If you make such blatant and random guesses, you may get into trouble if someone hears it.

Just like that, the crowd was silent for a while, and then another monk asked:
"You said that the two seniors of the Xu family have now become the Zifu. Will they go to the edge of the Hengduan Mountains to find a mountain with spiritual veins and establish their own family?"

"Then it's hard to say. There were monks from the Zifu who did this before, but they were not recognized by the Lingxiao Sect. In the end, the spiritual veins were taken back. Now it is even harder to establish a new family than to reach the sky."

Hearing that the topic was taken away from the Xu family, someone then joined the discussion.

"It would be great if they could form a new family. Then I could join them and become a foundation-building guest. That would be better than living in the city all the time." The monk from before said again.

"Why, do you think life in Fangshi is not good now?"

"It's not bad, but the rent in the Xu family's cave has increased too much. My cave expired three years ago. When I went to the cave management office to renew my lease, I was told that the rent had increased by a full 30%. You said What's wrong with this going on?

If you can join a family as a worshiper, at least you don't have to worry about cultivating your spiritual veins, and you don't have to pay high rents. "

Hearing this, a sneer suddenly came from behind the crowd. When everyone turned around, they discovered that it was an ugly-looking, hunchbacked old woman. "What this fellow Taoist said makes no sense. It's true that the rent in the cave has increased, but you didn't mention the increase in spiritual energy concentration in the cave!
Three years ago, in order to cope with the sharp increase in monks in the city and the inability to carry the third-level middle-grade spiritual veins, the Xu family, together with Taiyang Tower, specially took out 30,000 middle-grade spiritual stones and upgraded the spiritual veins to third-order high-grade spiritual veins. .

This not only improves the overall security of Fang City, but also greatly increases the number of caves. Most importantly, it increases the concentration of spiritual energy in the original caves. According to my estimate, 50% is there. Now I will increase it by 30%. Rent, what else are you not satisfied with? "

These words were well-founded. The monk who just complained about the Xu family's increase in the rent of the cave was instantly speechless.

In fact, the person who spoke uprightly for the Xu family just now is called Xu Zhili. She grew up in the family and rarely left the family before the foundation was established, so others did not know her true identity.

She was specially sent to Fangshi by Xu Shengsheng to understand the movements of the casual cultivators in Fangshi. Since she had been disguising herself well, no one had ever caught the clues.

Then everyone saw the head of the Xu family being respectfully welcomed into the cave by the Xu family. Once they saw that there was no more excitement to be seen, everyone was about to disperse.

"Fellow Taoists, don't be too busy leaving now. I heard that the Xu family is recently planning to recruit a group of temporary worshipers with foundation cultivation to help them guard the border area between the Hengduan Mountains and the family's territory. They have offered a good price."

Originally, everyone was excited when they heard that the Xu family was asking for tribute, but when they heard that it was only temporary, their interest was much less. However, many of the foundation-building monks present still wanted to know about this matter due to the pressure of survival.

"Then please tell me, fellow Taoist, what price the Xu family offered?" Someone looked at Xu Zhili and asked.

"It's easy to say, then I will say it, but you still need to judge the truth and falsehood for yourself.

Recently, there has been some instability in the Hengduan Mountains. You must have heard about this matter. This has also caused many monsters to escape from the mountains. And the Xu family's territory and the Hengduan Mountains are closely adjacent to each other, so Monsters slowly appeared in the territory.

Faced with this situation, of course the Xu family couldn't just sit back and watch, so they sent monks to exterminate it. However, the Xu family's territory was too large and the manpower for foundation building was not enough, so they thought of coming to Fangshi to recruit manpower.

I heard that as long as you follow the Xu family monks to patrol the border, you can get thirty spiritual stones a day. If you encounter a monster and take action, the spiritual stones will increase to one hundred. What, this price is not low, right? ? "

This matter was also explained to her by Xu Shengsheng after she came to Fangshi today. Considering that the ancestor was about to leave the family, and he himself had to be in charge of the family, the monsters in the family territory had to be eliminated.

After coming to Fangshi and discussing with Xu Zhifeng and others who were responsible for managing Fangshi, Xu Shengcheng made such a decision.

Anyway, there are not a hundred, but eighty, foundation-building monks living in their Jiafang City, and there are quite a few of them who are idle, so it is better to leave this matter to them.

"Yes, you can consider this, but I don't know where to sign up?"

The conditions offered by the Xu family are not bad, so some people are already interested.

"It's in the Baocui Building of the Xu family. If you're interested, you can go and have a look." Xu Zhili replied with a hunched waist.

Immediately, four or five foundation-building monks left.

"Hey, I am a temporary guest. I don't know when the Xu family will recruit formal guests again. In that case, I will definitely attend."

The monks who stayed where they were all had their own skills, so they did not intend to join in the fun. In their opinion, this job was not only dangerous, but also did not earn much spiritual stones. They stayed in the market and did whatever they wanted. Then he earned it.

"Don't think too much. The Xu family used to recruit guest ministers because the family had a large territory and a lot of property, but they didn't have enough manpower. Now in the family, the foundation-building monks are said to be no less than thirty, and the Qi Refining clan members are even more so. With more than 500 people and enough manpower, how can we still recruit worshippers?
Wouldn't it be better for people to use the spiritual stones recruited for worship and distribute them to the growing number of clan members? "

"What this fellow Taoist said is true. We actually had opportunities before us, but we didn't cherish them.

I regret it very much when I talk about this. When I was still in the Qi-refining stage, a close friend of many years invited me to apply for a job in the Xu family. However, I felt that being a slave was useless and had no future, so I rejected him.

Later, there happened to be a rebellion in the Demon Cult. I was lucky enough to kill five or six Qi-refining demon cultivators, and learned about a big conspiracy of a demon cultivator. I reported this matter to the monks of the Lingxiao Sect at that time, and received a reward. Foundation Establishment Pill, just barely succeeded in establishing the foundation.

Originally, I was very proud of my choice. If I had joined the Xu family, I might still be stuck at the ninth level of Qi Refining.

But what I didn't expect was that when I came to this city again ten years ago, I actually met my old friend. I was surprised to find that not only did he successfully build the foundation, but his cultivation level was even higher than mine. .

After careful inquiry, I learned that after he joined the Xu family, he got married to a female cultivator of the Xu family. Later, he relied on his modest alchemy skills to gain the favor of the Xu family's senior officials, and finally got his wish. He got a foundation-building talisman and then broke through to the foundation-building stage.

Now, he has broken through and become a second-level alchemist. I heard that the second-level inheritance was also provided by the Xu family. Now he is staying in the Xu family's alchemy hall, practicing alchemy, and taking care of his disciples.

When I have time, I will come to Fangshi to hang out with me. Not to mention how cool my life is, and I don’t have to worry about cultivation resources at all. I only broke through to the second level of foundation building this year, but others have already reached the fourth level of foundation building. There is a gap. It's only going to get bigger. "

After he finished speaking, he still covered his forehead with his hands, as if he regretted it to the extreme.

His words immediately caused the surrounding monks to sigh, simply because the Xu family really did not treat worshipers as outsiders. There had never been any harsh treatment, and the treatment was extremely high.

They had never heard before that any family would be willing to offer foundation-building spiritual objects for worship, but the Xu family did so. Although the proportion was much smaller than that of the Xu family's own children, this was already very rare.

Therefore, there are countless Qi Refining monks in this city who dream of joining the Xu family and becoming a worshiper, and then soaring into the sky.

Although the number of worshipers recruited by the Xu family has become smaller and smaller in recent years, and the standards have become more and more stringent, this has not affected the enthusiasm of the casual cultivators at all, but has made them even crazier.

Take last year, for example, there was a twelve-year-old female cultivator with earthly roots. She did not participate in the disciple selection of the sect. She actually joined the Xu family under the leadership of her parents and became another "successor" of the Xu family. The child bride of Tianjiao.

Moreover, the head of the Xu family was present in person and announced in front of the hundreds of monks who came to participate in the selection that he would ensure that this girl could successfully practice to the level of Foundation Establishment. If the Foundation Establishment Pill failed, then she would use the Foundation Establishment Talisman.

In this way, while everyone was chatting, Xu Shengsheng left his son's cave and handed over the things his grandson had brought to his parents. At the same time, he did not forget to ask them to practice hard, and also told them about the care of Fangshi. got them. (End of chapter)
