The Xu family follows Taoism and seeks longevity

Taking the Lingxiao Sect's fifth-level spaceship, Xu Zhiyu and others first arrived at Yuebo Fortress.

They did not stay here for long. After sitting for a while to rest, they took their own fuyao boat and sailed towards the family without stopping.

A month later, they arrived at the clan successfully. The clan leader, Xu Shengsheng, led the clan and held a grand triumphal celebration banquet for them, which was fun for several days.

After that, the Xu family's life on the surface returned to peace. It was time for the clan members to practice and practice, and it was a vibrant scene.

But at this time, in the Xu family's family meeting hall, the four Zifu monks who were at home at the Xu family were discussing a major matter related to the Xu family mountain.

"Brother Nineteen, are you saying that you have reached the ninth level of the Purple Mansion and will soon break through to the Golden Core stage?"

Xu Zhikai, who suddenly heard that his family was going to upgrade his spiritual veins and knew nothing about the inside story, was naturally very puzzled, because he felt that there was no problem that the family's current third-level high-grade spiritual veins could be used for the cultivation of his clan members.

This is not a lie. Under normal circumstances, the spiritual energy emitted by the third-level high-grade spiritual veins is enough for two late-stage Zifu monks, six middle-stage Zifu monks, and eighteen early-stage Zifu monks. Not to mention, the number of Xu family members is definitely far from reaching the upper limit.

So he didn't understand the significance of the Xu family's upgrade of their spiritual veins. However, when his brother Xu Zhiyu told him that upgrading his spiritual veins was for him to break through to the golden elixir stage, he was very shocked.

Yes, he was shocked, because he clearly remembered that Xu Zhiyu had only been cultivating from the first level of the Zi Mansion to the ninth level of the Zi Mansion for only forty years from the time he broke through the Zi Mansion until now. This news was very difficult for him to accept.

It's not that he was jealous or anything, it was just that he felt that this incident was too shocking to his previous knowledge and was completely incomprehensible, which is why his reaction was so big.

"Zhikai, there are some things in this that I can't explain to you, but you have to believe me. What I say is true. It is imperative to upgrade the family's spiritual lineage."

Xu Zhiyu explained that it would be impossible for him to tell him about his cultivation in the secret realm of time.

Although Venerable Muwei never specifically asked him to keep it secret, he himself had to know a little bit about it, right? It is impossible to tell the truth to others. The Xu family is still too weak and the clan members know too many secrets, which will definitely do more harm than good.

"In that case, I agree, but I don't know how prepared the family is. I heard that upgrading to the fourth level of spiritual veins requires a lot of spiritual stones, especially high-grade spiritual stones as a primer."

"Don't worry about these. The high-grade spiritual stones were found by your Nineteenth Brother when he went out for training. The middle-grade spiritual stones have been cobbled together by the family over the years. In addition, they have sold a lot of third-level elixirs, and they are almost there. .

Now we need to find a fourth-level array mage and a golden elixir monk to start upgrading the spiritual veins. "

The person who answered the question was Xu Shengsheng. His current cultivation level has reached the fifth floor of the Purple Mansion, the same as Xu Deming. This is all due to the Spirit Ascension Pill given to him by Xu Zhiyu.

Since the clan members rushed to the battlefield, the Xu family had dedicated personnel to take care of all matters, and he also hired his son and daughter-in-law, Xu Zhengyang, and his wife to help manage the family, so without any worries, he finally decided to retreat and achieve breakthroughs in cultivation.

The Ascension Pill can theoretically help a Zifu monk to break through one to three minor realms. He encountered neither the worst nor the best situation. After taking the pill, he successfully broke through two realms. Small realm.

"Shengsheng, have you sent the summons to Zhengji and Zhifeng? What's their attitude towards this matter?" Xu Deming, who had been silent until now, also spoke.

"Ancestor, I have contacted them using the Ten Thousand Miles Transmission Talisman a few days ago. After knowing the ins and outs of the matter, they also fully agreed to upgrade the family's spiritual veins.

And they also said in the talisman that the development there is in full swing at the moment, and they hope that the family can send some more tribesmen there to fully develop Banyuedao. "

"Ancestor, clan leader, why don't you leave this matter to me? It just so happens that I want to go out for some experience after my breakthrough, so how about you let me take some clan members there?"

Xu Zhikai said that he did have the idea of ​​​​traveling. He had wanted to go to the Yellow Sand Sea to see the development of the branch. This time he happened to meet the request to send tribesmen there. He felt that this was a matter of killing two birds with one stone.

"This"

Xu Deming thought for a while and seemed to hesitate. Then he turned his attention to Xu Zhiyu, as if he wanted to hear his opinion on the matter.

"Clan leader, how many people are there in the family now?"

Xu Zhiyu did not answer the question directly, but asked his grandfather sitting above him.

"The total number of tribesmen has experienced rapid growth in the ten years since you left. Last year, when statistics were compiled, it was found that the number of existing tribesmen has exceeded the one thousand mark.

However, people of the opposite sex accounted for a large proportion, accounting for about 30%, while pure Xu family blood only accounted for 70%.

The ones that are growing the fastest now are mainly the successor generation monks. The latest one has reached one hundred and ninety-six, and is about to reach two hundred or more. "

Hearing the changes in the number of members of the family, Xu Zhikai and the others were naturally overjoyed. Although the number of monks did not represent quality, it could also reflect the strength of the family from the side.

"Since the number of clan members in the family has grown so rapidly, it is okay to send a group of people there. However, we cannot tell the truth to the clan members, so we can just say that we are going out to perform a mission. If the number is high, we can send fifty people there.

And you have to remember that the family has just begun to develop on Banyuedao, so try to select those clan members who are single and have poor qualifications to go there and let them spread their branches there. In the future, there will be no need for the family leader to come here. They have manpower to support them. "

After pondering for a while, Xu Zhiyu came up with such a plan.

Secrecy is very necessary. Ever since they learned that the next beast wave will break out in five hundred years, the Xu family's Zifu monks held a meeting and decided not to evacuate from Taoshui County for the time being.

After all, this is an inheritance passed down by our ancestors for many generations, and their efforts and sweat are also involved. It is really hard to give up. This is the idea of ​​Xu Deming and Xu Shengsheng.

Xu Zhiyu's idea is that he is confident that in these five hundred years, his monks can break through to Nascent Soul and protect the Xu family from harm.

From now on, the Xu family will be divided into two parts. One part is naturally the head of the family, Nanfeng Mountain, and the other part is over Banyue Island in the Yellow Sand Sea.

But this news must not be known to outsiders, otherwise it may bring unnecessary trouble to the Xu family. Although in the world of immortal cultivation, major forces will arrange some backup to ensure that their inheritance can continue smoothly, but these This is usually done in secret.

After being exposed, not to mention whether it will cut off your escape route, your behavior alone will arouse the dissatisfaction of the forces you belong to.

The Xu family belongs to the Lingxiao Sect. If the Xu family develops too fast in the future and suffers the jealousy of villains, and they report this matter to the senior officials of the Lingxiao Sect, then the Xu family may be targeted.

Don't say it's impossible, it's definitely possible. It's like you were originally living in a country, but you are unwilling to be lonely and collude with foreign forces. Anyone would be unhappy.

If you don't pursue it, it will be a serious matter. If you pursue it, it will be a big deal. At the least, we will take back your territory and then drive you out of the country. At the most worst, we will directly send high-level monks to kill you directly.

That's why Xu Zhiyu emphasized the confidentiality. After arriving at Banyuedao, even if these tribesmen know the truth, there is no need to worry about them leaking it. Because those sent there were just some Qi Refining monks, and the main sect was millions of miles away, so even if they said it, it would not have any impact.

After discussing this matter, they discussed the upgrade of the family's spiritual veins. Now everything is ready and all they need is Dongfeng.

"The fourth-level formation master is easy to solve. The new shopkeeper of the Taiyang Tower branch in Familyfang City seems to be the fourth-level formation master. We can ask him to take action, but Jindan Zhenren, who is holding the formation on the side just in case. It’s hard to find.”

After analyzing the form, Xu Zhikai said that he had planned to ask Xu Zhizhi and the two of them to ask the formation master for advice on the formation.

"Let's put the matter of Master Jindan on hold for now. I'll go to Family Square Market first, pay a visit to Shopkeeper Li, and tell him about upgrading the family's spiritual veins."

"Yu'er, do you need me to visit with you? Shopkeeper Li is a good person and I have had many dealings with him."

Xu Deming asked from the side.

"No, ancestor, I can just go and visit myself, so I don't need to bother you."

After saying that, Xu Zhiyu said goodbye to the three of them and flew directly towards the family market. He couldn't blame him for being so anxious. He really felt that his cultivation was becoming more and more unsuppressable and he was on the verge of a breakthrough. .

He didn't want to suppress anymore, he just wanted to work hard to achieve a complete breakthrough in cultivation.

Watching Xu Zhiyu fly away, the remaining three began to discuss other things.

"Ancestor. Chief, since the upgrade of spiritual veins is just around the corner, should we call all the clansmen who are currently in seclusion out of the cave?"

Xu Zhikai raised such a question, which is worthy of attention, because the spiritual vein upgrade process is not accomplished overnight, but will last for a period of time, especially when the third-order spiritual vein transforms into a fourth-order spiritual vein, it takes at least half a month to wait.

During this period of time, the spiritual energy emitted by the spiritual veins may be strong and weak. This is extremely dangerous for monks who have broken through in retreat. If they are not careful, they may go crazy.

"Zhikai is right, Sheng Sheng, take a look, are there any tribesmen who have come to you to report and prepare to retreat to achieve breakthroughs in cultivation?"

Xu Shengsheng didn't even need to consult any memos about this matter, he could answer it immediately.

"No, some time ago, a clan member at the ninth level of Qi Refining went into retreat to break through and build a foundation. It ended a month ago. The others did not report to retreat to break through, but there are many who practice in retreat."

"It's okay to practice. If you interrupt, you can stop. You can continue after the spiritual veins are upgraded. Let's do this. Zhikai, go to the caves of all the Foundation Establishment clan members and summon them all to the family square.

As for the Qi Refining clan members, you can just find a few more Foundation Establishment clan members to inform them. "

"Yes, old man."

Xu Zhikai also followed the order and left, and the remaining two people, Xu Deming, were not idle either. They took out the spiritual stones that could be used to upgrade the formation and began to count them again, in order to ensure nothing was missed.

"No, I completely forgot about a big thing."

Xu Shengsheng, who was counting the spiritual stones, suddenly paused, thought of something important, and said in annoyance.

"What's the matter?"

Xu Deming didn't understand its meaning.

"Ancestor, since the spiritual veins have been upgraded, the previous third-level high-level clan protection formation must no longer be used, and the new fourth-level low-level formation must be used to protect the family mountain.

However, a set of fourth-level low-level formations also requires 10,000 to 20,000 mid-level spiritual stones. We did not consider this! "

Hearing what he said, Xu Deming was also stunned. When calculating the spiritual stones these years, he only thought about upgrading the spiritual veins. He did not consider that after the spiritual veins were upgraded, the formations would also have to be replaced. It seems a bit late now. .

The matter they discussed was brought up to Xu Zhiyu when he visited Shopkeeper Li in Taiyang Tower. He only realized it later and was also caught off guard.

Twenty thousand mid-grade spiritual stones was a large amount, and it was not comparable to twenty thousand low-grade spiritual stones. He didn't know what to do about this matter for a while.

When Shopkeeper Li saw this situation, he naturally understood that Xu Zhiyu was in trouble. Although he wanted to help, he couldn't come up with such a large sum of spiritual stones.

But if there was no other way in the end, he would have no choice but to lend the opponent a set of fourth-level low-grade formations on credit.

"Fellow Daoist Xu, please think of another way. I will send a messenger and ask my golden elixir friend to come to Fangshi now. After your spirit stones are prepared, we will rush to your family mountain to upgrade your Xu family. "Spiritual Veins."

After Shopkeeper Li left, Xu Zhiyu thought hard for a long time and then made a decision.

He took out a jade box from the storage ring, which contained a high-level elixir that he picked in the sealed space. After many verifications, he knew the specific grade and efficacy of this elixir.

This elixir is called Wuhenhua, and it was the main medicine for refining the Beauty Pill in ancient times. It is now close to extinction in the world of immortality.

He planned to sell this elixir to Taiyang Tower to raise enough spiritual stones to purchase a powerful fourth-order formation to protect the safety of Clan Mountain.

Not long after, shopkeeper Li came back. When he saw a jade box appearing in front of Xu Zhiyu, he already understood the other party's plan, so after asking for permission, he opened it directly.

"This is... this is the traceless flower, right? This kind of elixir is too scarce. I heard it only grows deep in Zuzhou and the Hengduan Mountains. I wonder if it is this one from Daoyou Daoyou Xu?"

Shopkeeper Li knew the name of this elixir at a glance and asked him about its origin.

"I got it by chance. The biggest gain on this battlefield is this elixir. I wonder how many spiritual stones this elixir is worth?"

"How much is the spiritual stone worth? I can't answer this yet, friend Taoist, but I can make the decision. First, I owe you a set of low-level fourth-level formations that are both offensive and defensive on credit. This elixir will be used as a mortgage. When I use this spiritual stone, I will give it to you." After the medicine is sent back to the headquarters and auctioned off, I will give you all the extra spirit stones. What do you think of it? "

When Xu Zhiyu heard that there was such a good thing, he immediately agreed. He was not afraid that the other party would hack his elixir, because the other party immediately announced that he was the disciple of Zhuang Zhenjun and the disciple of Venerable Muwei. , with this relationship, he really doesn’t need to worry too much.
