The Xu family follows Taoism and seeks longevity

Xu Zhiyu waited in Taiyang Tower for another hour or so before Shopkeeper Li walked into the private room with a beautiful middle-aged woman.

"Come on, fellow Daoist Xu, let me introduce you to him. This is Gao Wushuang, the head of the Gao family in Qingping Prefecture. He has a third-level golden elixir cultivation level."

After hearing Shopkeeper Li's introduction, Xu Zhiyu's mind quickly flashed with information about the Gao family of Qingping Mansion. He immediately stood up and saluted the other party. After all, the other party's cultivation level was much higher than his own.

The Gao family was established when the Lingxiao Sect established its foothold in the Qin State. It was considered an old-line Jindan force with a long history. The cultivation level of its founding ancestor had even reached the level of false infant cultivation. At that time, it dominated the three prefectures and twenty-seven counties of Liangzhou. The limelight lasted for a while.

In the tens of thousands of years that followed, the Gao family continued to develop well. Although in the end they failed to make their family go one step further and become the Yuanying family, there was no shortage of monks with fake infant cultivation from generation to generation.

This situation did not change until two thousand years ago.

Because Liangzhou is relatively close to the Yue Kingdom, the Gao family was seriously affected when the Demon Cult was in rebellion last time. Not only was the clan defense formation destroyed, but even the false infant ancestor died fighting to protect his clan members.

The most serious thing is that because of the sudden incident, the tribe suffered heavy losses, and most of the elite were directly involved.

Moreover, after the death of the false infant ancestor in the battle, the Gao family's Scripture Depository Pavilion was ransacked, and many classics and inheritance disappeared. Even the false fifth-level spiritual veins on their clan's mountain were destroyed by the Nascent Soul monks of the Demon Sect. Taken away.

Although after the demonic chaos subsided, the elite monks of the Gao family who were traveling abroad at that time used the secret treasure house inherited from generation to generation and took out a large amount of resources to re-create the fourth-level high-grade spiritual veins, and spent a lot of money. Resources allowed tribesmen who were originally at a low level to achieve breakthroughs in cultivation in a short period of time.

On the surface, it seems that the Gao family is reviving, but only those who know the inside story know that the Gao family's loneliness is doomed.

As expected, the development of the Gao family has gone from bad to worse. Not only have there been no more fake infant monks in each generation, but the number of golden elixirs has also dropped sharply from fifteen or six in its heyday to about five. Although among the general golden elixir forces, there are already It's considered top-notch, but there's no comparison with what it was back then.

Until the past few hundred years, the development of the Gao family has been even more unsatisfactory. The area they occupy is only the size of a mansion, and there are only four Jindan masters. The one who has successfully broken through the Jindan recently is Gao Wushuang in front of him, but that is already That was nearly two hundred years ago.

An expert once predicted that if the Gao family could not find a way to rise again, then maybe a thousand years later, the Gao family in Qingping Prefecture would become history.

When Gao Wushuang first walked into the private room, she saw that the person sitting inside was just a monk from the fourth floor of Zifu. She thought that shopkeeper Li would introduce him to her.

But what she didn't expect was that shopkeeper Li not only lowered his status and called Xu Zhiyu, who was a cultivator in Zifu, his Taoist friend, but also introduced himself to him, who was a cultivator of Jindan.

Although she had a lot of doubts in her heart, she still trusted Shopkeeper Li very much. She knew that he must have a reason for doing this, so she became friends with Xu Zhiyu as a peer regardless of his level of cultivation.

"I've met fellow Daoist Xu!"

"Don't dare, I've met fellow Taoist Gao!"

In fact, it seems more appropriate to call him senior, but shopkeeper Li has already called him fellow Taoist. If you call Gao Wushuang senior, isn't this a slap in shopkeeper Li's face?
"Wushuang, let me introduce to you. This is our Taoist friend Xu Zhiyu from the Xu family in Jincheng Prefecture, Yongzhou."

Shopkeeper Li briefly introduced Xu Zhiyu's identity, and then asked the maid to serve tea.

After three rounds of tea, he finally clarified the purpose of inviting Gao Wushuang here. It turned out that he did not say this clearly in the transmission notes just now, he just said that something happened and asked her to come to Taiyang Tower quickly.

"Wushuang, I've called you here this time. I want you to help with something. Did you see it? It's this fellow Daoist Xu. Their clan mountain spiritual vein was originally a third-level high-grade one, but now it's ready to be upgraded to a fourth-order low-grade one.

You also know that upgrading the spiritual veins is too busy for one person. I will be responsible for watching the transformation of the spiritual veins, and you will be responsible for protecting the law outside and not letting anyone else get close. How about it? There is no problem, right? "

After hearing what Shopkeeper Li said, Gao Wushuang looked at Xu Zhiyu squarely. It turned out that he was a monk from the Zifu. Although she was polite on the surface, she still looked down upon him in her heart.

But when she heard that the Xu family was planning to upgrade to a fourth-level spiritual vein, her mentality changed.

Upgrading the spiritual veins means that someone in the Xu family should break through the golden elixir cultivation level, and may become a golden elixir family in the near future. This is worthy of her attention.

And for this kind of help, she didn't believe that Shopkeeper Li couldn't find other Jindan monks. He came to her specifically this time, maybe because he wanted her to establish some relationship with the Xu family. Although it was just some speculation, she felt that she should That's right.

I have to say that there are no fools who can become Jindan monks, they are all top-notch people. Shopkeeper Li really planned this.

It turns out that he has a deep relationship with the Gao family. When he was a child, he had been living in Sanyaofang City established by the Gao family. Later, by accident, he met Gao Zisheng, Gao Wushuang's father at the time.

He didn't know Gao Zisheng's identity at the beginning, but the two got along very happily and formed a deep friendship.

Later, under the recommendation of Gao Zisheng, he successfully joined the Gao family and became a guest minister. Not only did he marry a female cultivator of the Gao family as a Taoist monk, but because of his great achievements, he was finally given the Foundation Building Pill and successfully built the foundation. .

Unfortunately, his cultivation qualifications as a Taoist monk were not very good. With his strong support after establishing the foundation, he was able to reach the perfect state of Qi refining at the age of fifty-nine.

As a guest at that time, he was actually not well treated, so he asked his good brother Gao Zisheng for help. The latter lent him 10,000 family contribution points without saying a word, allowing him to successfully redeem the Foundation Establishment Pill.

Later, his Taoist companion finally relied on this foundation-building pill to successfully break through the foundation-building period, and not long after, he successfully gave birth to a child, which made him feel that this was not a bad life.

But the good times didn't last long. When they were traveling, they suddenly encountered more than ten interceptors. The couple managed to escape after a bloody battle.

Although his life was saved, his Taoist companion's injuries were too serious and his foundation was damaged. Not only did his cultivation continue to stagnate, but his life span was also greatly affected. He only lived 150 years old before he died. .

After suffering this blow, he left his son behind in the Gao family and struggled in the world of cultivation alone. At this time, his child also broke through the foundation building early because of his excellent qualifications, so he didn't have too many worries.

He really couldn't stay in the Gao family any longer. Whenever he saw those familiar sights, he couldn't help but miss his Taoist companion and feel sad. Everything was too much for him to face. This adventure lasted for more than ten years. Once when he was exploring a secret place in Yue Kingdom, he accidentally discovered the inheritance of a third-level array master.

Because he had learned some formation knowledge from the Gao family before, and because he was indeed extremely talented in formations, he quickly became a second-level formation master.

Later, he randomly found a market in the country of Yue and opened a shop selling formations. The business was not bad. With the help of the spirit stones he earned, he purchased a lot of resources to assist his cultivation, and his cultivation grew rapidly.

However, it is not easy for a casual cultivator to break through to the big realm. Various strategic resources are in the hands of big forces, so he has no choice but to pass the assessment and officially become a member of Taiyang Tower.

Later, because of his superb talent in formations, he was accepted by a fourth-level formation mage in Taiyang Tower at that time. He also obtained the Ziyang Pill that he had longed for, and successfully entered the Zifu realm.

After a successful breakthrough, he asked his master for leave and went back to the Gao family. He found that his son and his friend Gao Zisheng were both developing well, and both were at the ninth level of foundation building.

After finally reporting it to the head of the Gao family at the time, he took the two of them to Yue to develop, letting his son inherit his original formation shop, and asking his old friends to help take care of it, and they lived a good life.

Moreover, with his help, these two people obtained the Ziyang Pill and the Purple Qi Talisman successively, thus breaking through to the Zifu realm.

Gao Zisheng also found a Taoist monk with good qualifications as a Taoist companion in Yue State. Gao Wushuang was born later. After that, the family of three returned to the Gao family. After that, the two of them lived in two places, sometimes for more than ten years. It is rare for them to meet each other, but the friendship has not weakened much.

Later, as his cultivation level became higher and higher, his talisman-making skills became more and more superb. Finally, when he was on the eighth floor of the Zi Mansion, he was sent to serve as the shopkeeper. This place was the Gao family's. Sanyaofang City.

Since then, he has taken advantage of his position to often help the Gao family do some business of buying low and selling high, which gave the Gao family's family situation, which had been on a downward trend, some signs of stabilization.

However, the problems of the Gao family are not only financial problems, but also internal problems are more serious. Therefore, although he helped as much as possible, the Gao family did not rise and was still gradually declining.

Just like this, two hundred years later, Gao Zisheng died at the end of his life because he did not have the spiritual object to break through the golden elixir. However, with the efforts of his master and himself, he obtained a golden elixir, and finally broke through to the golden elixir by luck. Expect.

After breaking through the golden elixir, he led his son, who was already a monk in the Zifu, back to the Gao family again. In addition to paying homage to his deceased wife and friends, he also thought he could help the Gao family.

At that time, the situation of the Gao family could be said to be in jeopardy. Although there were still three golden elixirs in existence, each of them was over 800 years old. The oldest one was already 1,100 years old, and there was still no time left for the golden elixirs to expire. How many years.

The most important problem is still the lack of support. There has been no new Golden elixir monk in the family for more than two hundred years. This has caused panic within the Gao family and external forces are eyeing them.

In the end, he found out about the time and place of a secret auction held in Taiyang Tower through his master, and went to great lengths to get an invitation, and then persuaded the three golden elixirs of the Gao family to come up with it. With the last bit of information accumulated by our ancestors, we finally managed to obtain the Golden Elixir without any danger.

The last golden elixir was naturally taken by Gao Wushuang, and she lived up to expectations and broke through the golden elixir stage in one fell swoop.

After that, Gao Wushuang, as the newly promoted patriarch of the Gao family, had more contacts with him. Before coming to Yongzhou, he served as the shopkeeper of the largest city in Liangzhou, and he contributed a lot to the development of the Gao family. support.

Even now that I have arrived at Taoyuanfang City of the Xu family, it is no exception. Many of the goods sold in Taiyang Tower are made by the Gao family.

After the three chatted for a while, they left Fangshi together and went straight to Xu's house.

Gao Wushuang originally thought that Xu Zhiyu was a monk from the Purple Mansion who was unable to fly in the air, and was ready to take out his walking weapon and give him a ride, but he unexpectedly was declined.

It wasn't until Xu Zhiyu sacrificed the three-color phoenix wings that she finally understood, and at the same time, the importance she attached to him in her heart increased to another level.

The speed of the three of them was not too slow, so they arrived in front of the Xu Family Mountain in just a moment.

As early as when they were about to arrive, Xu Zhiyu relied on his powerful spiritual consciousness to notify his grandfather, so as soon as they arrived here, their ancestor Xu Deming and the others had been waiting for them.

Because shopkeeper Li was familiar with both parties, he introduced them both, and then walked into the Xu Family Mountain.

"Fellow Daoist Xu, this is my first time coming to your home. I didn't expect the scenery to be so spectacular. If I had known about it earlier, I would have come here to enjoy it."

Although the words were polite, the Xu family members were very happy and couldn't stop smiling.

"After the breakthrough, the scenery will be even better."

Gao Wushuang, who had never found a chance to interrupt, said that after his observation just now, he found that his most respected elder, Shopkeeper Li, seemed to be constantly getting close to the Xu family, so she also became excited.

The matter of upgrading the spiritual veins was not carried out immediately because the array master still had to make some preparations, so the group came to the living room, and Xu Zhikai, who had the least cultivation level, was responsible for pouring tea and water.

It must be said that the Xu family attaches great importance to these two people. They use fifth-level spirit tea leaves to make tea. The disciples of Venerable Muwei gave Xu Zhiyu the tea leaves when he was at the Taiyang Tower headquarters. He has rarely tasted them. Pass.

After the preparations were completed, the two shopkeepers Li did not waste any time. One of them got into the mountain and started upgrading the spiritual veins. Gao Wushuang flew to the top of the clan mountain, observing everything with his spiritual consciousness, and at the same time guarding against outsiders who might come. Monk.

Xu Zhiyu was not idle either. He flew outside the family formation and let go of his consciousness, watching every move around him to ensure that the upgrade of the spiritual veins was proceeding smoothly.

During the spiritual vein upgrade period, all clan members were organized into the family square, preparing to witness the family's historic moment, the birth of the fourth-level spiritual vein, which many monks would find difficult to experience in their lifetime.

Half a month passed like this, as the violent trembling of the earth stopped, the elevation of the mountain peaks stopped, and the concentration of spiritual energy in the air stopped increasing, the upgrade of the spiritual veins was finally completed. (End of chapter)
