The Xu family follows Taoism and seeks longevity

Not to mention Xu Zhiyu leading his tribe to fight against monsters in the Hengduan Mountains, let's take a look at the current situation of the Xu family branch led by Xu Zhengji in the Yellow Sand Sea of ​​Yue Kingdom.

It has been seven years since Xu Zhengji led his tribe to Banyue Island.

At first, they first arrived at Huitongfang City in the Yue State in a teleportation array, and then flew to Donghaifang City with a sword. Following Xu Zhiyu's instructions, they took his message slip and came to visit the Taiyang Tower branch.

At this time, Zhuang Zhenjun happened to be away, and the person who stayed here to take charge of the temporary management was his disciple Li Kailiang. When he saw that it was Xu Zhiyu's jade slip, he immediately contacted his master Zhuang Zhenjun through remote communication, and then made a detailed instruction of.

After that, Zhuang Zhenjun instructed that he should do everything possible to help the Xu family. Then Li Zhenren received the Xu family very warmly, not only arranged for them to stay in the Taiyang Tower branch, but also held a special welcome ceremony.

There is a reason for him to do this. The reason why he can become the disciple of True Monarch Yuanying, the disciple of Lord Transformation God, and can temporarily take charge of a branch is inextricably related to Xu Zhiyu.

You must know that in the Tianhaifang City branch before, he was just an ordinary Jindan elder. There were more than a dozen like him. If he continued on the original track, he would not have a chance until his life span was exhausted. Become an acting shopkeeper.

At the reception banquet, when Zhenren Li figured out the purpose of their trip, which was to establish a branch of the Xu family here, he transferred a fourth-tier sea-going ship from the building without saying a word, as well as a number of resources, and Two golden elixirs and four monks from Zifu who were proficient in elixir talisman formations accompanied them.

After arriving at Banyue Island, when they saw that the spiritual veins on the island were still at the second level, the formation master sent by Taiyang Tower was about to upgrade their spiritual veins on the spot, and was prepared to pay for them out of his own pocket.

Xu Zhengji had to persuade him to stop him. In his opinion, the Xu family was already grateful for such a big help, so how could he let them spend money?

Besides, when he left the family this time, he took more than one million spiritual stones with him, which was more than enough to upgrade his spiritual veins.

After the spiritual veins were upgraded and the clan protection formation was set up, the Taiyang Tower group left Banyuedao Island by boat with the gratitude of the Xu family members.

But what they didn't know was that after the fourth-level ship went far away, a fourth-level golden elixir monk flew off the ship and quietly returned to the island near Xu's house. Zhenren Li gave him an order, secretly Responsible for protecting the safety of the Xu family.

Banyuedao, Wanghaifeng, meeting hall.

All the family monks were gathered here at this time. Xu Zhengji was sitting at the top, and the people from the Foundation Establishment and Qi Refining tribe were sitting side by side below.

Wanghaifeng was the name finally decided upon after several discussions among the clan members. It is similar to Nanfeng Mountain in the ancestral home of the Xu family, because the terrain here is as high as a thousand feet and you can overlook the sea.

If you look down at Wanghai Peak from above, you will find that the top of the mountain is shrouded in spiritual mist all year round, and the scene of a fairyland is overlooked from the air. There are five or six halls on the top of the mountain, and rows of small courtyards on the mountainside are clean, elegant and elegant. It must be a blessed land.

This was built bit by bit by members of the Xu family, with the help of the Taiyang Tower monks, over the past few years.

"Zhijuan, please tell me the situation!"

Xu Zhengji, who was sitting above, ordered that after several years of construction, the family's alchemy hall, weapon refining hall, talisman making hall and other halls have gradually been improved. However, due to the lack of manpower, such as the spiritual field opening and the medicine Things such as the opening of the park are only now being started.

The person in charge of this matter is none other than Xu Zhijuan, one of the two founders of the Xu family who came here this time.

"Yes, Uncle Twenty-nine. After a year of hard work, we have now developed 672 acres of first-level spiritual fields, 59 acres of second-level spiritual fields, and five first-level spiritual medicine gardens. A total of There are seventy-eight acres of land and two second-level elixir gardens, totaling twelve acres.”

"Are you talking about the total reclamation quantity?"

"Yes, Uncle Twenty-nine."

Hearing the affirmative answer, Xu Zhengji frowned. Although he had been busy dealing with family affairs, he was still very concerned about cultivating the Lingtian Medicine Garden. According to his estimation, it should not be just this.

"No, I remember that after the spiritual veins of the ancestral land were upgraded to the third-level low-grade, the number of spiritual fields and spiritual medicine gardens that were opened was much more than what we have now!"

Hearing the uncle's question, Xu Zhijuan replied calmly and clearly:
"Uncle Twenty-nine, it's like this. If we continue to cultivate the land, the number of Lingtian Spiritual Medicine Garden can be doubled, but my niece doesn't think that is necessary."

"how do I say this?"

In Xu Zhengji's view, it would be a crime if all the land on the clan mountain could not be used.

When he was young, not to mention several acres of spiritual fields, even if the land was only one foot in diameter and had some spiritual energy, he would have to plant two ears of spiritual rice.

"The spiritual fields we have opened up now, the spiritual rice grown in one year has been enough for our Qi Refining clansmen to eat for more than ten years. It is useless to eat more. We are an isolated island here, and the nearest city is 80,000 miles away. distance, the remaining spiritual rice cannot be sold even if it wants to be sold.

Moreover, the number of our tribe is still too small. One tribe member can only take care of twenty acres of spiritual land. Just these hundreds of acres of spiritual land require a large number of manpower, causing the various arts of cultivating immortals such as weapon refining and elixir refining to be almost abandoned. . "

Only then did Xu Zhengji realize that his thoughts had not completely changed. In the past, there were many people and few fields, but now there are many people, including young master Tian.

"Okay, then just plant the spiritual fields that have been opened up. There is no need to open new ones for the time being.

By the way, spiritual rice grows very fast, and if you plant too much, you will have nowhere to go. But elixirs are different. Even the lowest level of first-class elixirs still need three to five years of growth. Open up a few more elixir gardens. There’s no problem, right?”

Hearing this, Xu Zhijuan couldn't help but smile bitterly. Logically speaking, she was an alchemist, so she should be happy to see the success of this suggestion, but the real situation was not like that.

"Uncle Twenty-nine, originally it would be good to open a few more elixir gardens, which can also effectively supplement the consumption of elixirs, but the cultivation of elixirs and spiritual rice are not the same thing. They require professional spiritual cultivators. Do.

Among the tribesmen who followed us to Banyue Island this time, only Ji Huan is a first-class spiritual planter. He is already overwhelmed by taking care of seven spiritual medicine gardens by himself, and he really has no energy to take care of more. "

After all, we are still short of manpower!

"Ji Huan, please come forward."

Xu Zhengji thought for a while, but couldn't think of a good solution. He happened to see Xu Jihuan sitting at the door of the hall and dozing off.

But maybe because he was too tired from taking care of the elixir garden, he didn't hear his uncle's shout. It wasn't until the tribesman next to him poked him that he opened his eyes in confusion.

"Seventy-ninth brother, what's the matter? The meeting is over? Let's go then. We still have to go to the B-size Spiritual Medicine Garden. I don't know why, but there is an insect infestation."

Xu Jihuan glanced at the clan brother who had just stabbed him, stood up and was about to walk out.

His performance made the clan members present laugh. Xu Jizhong, the clan brother next to him, immediately reminded him in a low voice: "Brother Thirty-five, the meeting has not ended. Uncle Twenty-ninth is calling you. He asked you to step forward. He The old man probably has something to ask you."

Only then did he react, hurriedly rubbed his darkened eyes, walked forward quickly, said a few words, and immediately bowed to Xu Zhengji and said:

"Uncle, grandnephew and great-nephew, Jihuan is polite."

"Well, look up."

Only when he saw Xu Jihuan's tired and haggard look did he believe what Xu Zhijuan said.

"Zhihuan, you've worked hard, please take care of yourself." After a few words of encouragement, Xu Zhengji changed his tone and asked:
"Among the tribesmen who came here this time, are there any who are more talented in spiritual plants? If so, you can teach them some of your experience in cultivating spiritual plants, so that you don't have to be too busy!"

"Uncle, this is a good suggestion, but among the tribesmen who come this time, most of them have some skills. If you ask them to give up the skills they are familiar with and learn spiritual planting, I am afraid they will not be willing, right?"

This is Xu Jihuan's innermost thoughts. If he had the talent to learn other immortal arts, he would not learn spiritual cultivation. Not only would he be miserable, but he would also not earn many spiritual stones.

"No one asked them to change careers, they just studied spiritual cultivation on the side!"

After finishing speaking, seeing that no one from the tribe responded, Xu Zhengji looked solemn and announced a new rule.

"I hereby announce that if a clan member is willing to choose spiritual cultivation and achieves something, the family will reward him with a considerable amount of contribution. The specific amount is as follows:

Those who become a first-level low-grade spiritual husband will receive a one-time reward of 500 family contribution points, and will be able to receive an additional 120 contribution points every year in the future.

Those who become a first-level mid-level spiritual husband will be rewarded with one thousand and fifty family contribution points at a time, and will be able to receive an additional two hundred and forty contribution points every year in the future.

Those who become a first-level high-grade spiritual husband will be rewarded with 3,000 family contribution points, and in the future, they can receive an additional 500 contribution points on the original basis every year. "

As soon as this new rule came out, the clan members were shocked and started whispering among themselves, because the family had never had this rule in the ancestral land of Nanfeng Mountain, and Ling Zhifu was not that valuable.

In the end, attracted by the huge amount of family contribution points, several young people of the next generation enthusiastically devoted themselves to Lingzhi.

In order for them to persevere for a long time, Xu Zhengji also revealed good news to them.

"Study hard. Don't think that there is no future in Ling Zhi. Thinking like this is a big mistake. Do you know your uncle from the Zhitai clan? He specializes in Ling Zhi and is now a second-level high-grade Ling Zhi husband.

The family contribution points he earns in a year are no less than what your Zhijuan clan aunt earns. If you don’t believe me, ask her. "

Seeing Xu Zhijuan nodding, a group of young guys became more confident.

Then Xu Jihai, another family foundation builder, put forward a new suggestion for everyone to discuss.

"Uncle, since we have too few manpower now, can we recruit some casual cultivators from Donghaifang City or Maple Leaf Island City, which is closest to us, to be our guests?
This way we don't have to worry about manpower issues and can speed up the construction of Banyuedao. "

This is actually not the first time someone has raised this issue with Xu Zhengji, but it was always raised in private before, and this was the first time it was raised at a family meeting.

"No, this place is different from the Qin Kingdom. Banyuedao Island is isolated offshore and is considered a deserted island. If the casual cultivators recruited are undercover pirates, we will be completely ruined when the inside and outside are coordinated.

So let’s wait until your uncle Zhifeng successfully breaks through the Zi Mansion before we discuss this matter. Otherwise, if something goes wrong, I won’t be able to handle it alone. "

He directly rejected this suggestion that could speed up the construction of Banyuedao. The reason was safety issues.

This problem cannot be ignored. As Taiyang Tower has begun large-scale development of the Huangsha Sea area in recent years, more and more forces have settled here.

However, there are many good and bad forces among these forces. Some of them may look very serious on the surface, but behind the scenes they may be pirates who rob families and homes.

In the few years since the Xu family moved here, although the news was relatively limited, when the merchant ships from Taiyang Tower passed by, in addition to sending them a batch of supplies, they would also share with them some recent events in the Huangsha Sea. information.

The pirates in the Huangsha Sea area are very active. Seven or eight factions are wiped out every year, including a golden elixir faction. Every time the golden elixir monk from Taiyang Tower comes to the island, he has to warn him repeatedly that if nothing happens, Stay on the island and don't wander around.

Therefore, Xu Zhengji has always had a negative attitude towards recruiting casual cultivators here as guest ministers.

"Uncle, when will we be able to freely enter and leave the island? To be honest, apart from taking a boat here with everyone seven years ago, I have never been to the sea alone?"

Although the suggestion was rejected, Xu Jihai asked another question.

"We have to wait at least three years before we talk. Senior Jindan from Taiyang Tower told me specifically when he came to the island last time.

In view of the current chaotic situation in the Huangsha Sea area, after they reported to the main building, they will take measures to carry out a powerful attack on the pirate forces entrenched here for a period of three years. "

"Pirates are so cunning. They probably hid or fled when they heard the news. It's not like they didn't pay off the goods a few times before, but in the end they just let it go."

Xu Jidian shook his head and seemed not optimistic about the settlement of Taiyang Tower this time.

"What do you know? In the past, Master Jin Dan led the team, so they were allowed to run away. At the same time, Taiyang Tower did not take them seriously.

But this time it will be different. More than one Nascent Soul Lord will be dispatched to conduct a thorough investigation of the entire Yellow Sand Sea. Once pirates are discovered, they will not stop.

That's why I said that you should wait until three years before you can go to sea with confidence. Now you should practice with peace of mind. The pills brought this time are very sufficient. I will strive to achieve another breakthrough in your cultivation in the next three years. "

"Yes!"

The family meeting ended like this. (End of chapter)
