The Xu family follows Taoism and seeks longevity

"Friend Xu, shall we chase after those two?"

Although Shopkeeper Li's heart was in turmoil at the moment, he still forced himself to calm down, walked forward and asked.

Looking at the figures of the two people from the Wuhu Gang going away, Xu Zhiyu slowly shook his head and said:
"No need. We have just captured one of their accomplices. I'm sure we can get information about the two escaped people from him. We can make plans then!"

In fact, it was not that he didn't want to chase them, but those two Jindan cultivators were not easy to deal with. The reason why he was able to kill a Jindan cultivator instantly just now was entirely due to his fast escape method and sneak attack.

Now the others have been prepared for his move, so it won't work if they try to use it again. Although he only released two palm thunders just now, he also consumed a lot of his own mana.

After he broke through to the Jindan stage, the power of the palm thunder increased, but the consumption also increased. He had just broken through and his realm had not had time to stabilize, so it was not a good choice to catch up at this time.

Moreover, the two people who were escaping seemed to have been prepared. After running thousands of miles away, they each took out a talisman that was flashing yellow and white colors, stuck it on their bodies, and then disappeared without a trace in an instant.

Xu Zhiyu turned around and looked down at the puppet remains on the ground.

Although the explosion just now was indeed scary, some of the hard parts of the puppet should be made of extremely hard materials, so there are still some remnants left.

Ling Qikun, the head of Baiyi Sect, who was watching this scene from a distance, felt his heart suddenly tighten.

"Will it reveal any flaws? No, no, this puppet was made ten thousand years ago, no one should be able to recognize it.

Besides, after taking it out, I checked it inside and out, and there was no special mark at all. How could they recognize it?

But we can't stay here any longer. If we get discovered, it will be like shit, like dirt falling into our pants!"

Thinking of this, Ling Qikun stood up, wiped out all traces of himself, and then flew away quietly.

But before leaving, he took another look at the Xu Family Mountain from afar, thinking that the rise of the Xu Family was unstoppable, and that he and the Great Elder should carefully study the response policies.

When the Xu family was weak, they had done many shameful things and still had some guilt in their hearts, fearing revenge.

Some people may ask, the Xu family has just been upgraded to a Jindan family, and the Baiyi Sect is an old-fashioned Jindan force, so there is no need to be too afraid, right?

But you also have to think about it, how many years did it take the Xu family to transform from a foundation-building family to a purple mansion family, and how many years did it take to transform from a purple mansion family to a golden elixir family? If this momentum continues, who knows if the Xu family will make further progress in the near future?
Not only Xu Zhiyu and the other person came to the puppet, but Gao Jia Jindan and the two deputy managers of Taiyang Tower also gathered in front of it. The five of them each picked up a piece of debris from the ground and began to examine it.

"This piece should contain some top-grade fourth-level chalcedony, as well as many other fourth-level materials mixed in. It will probably take quite a while to identify them one by one."

The first person to speak was a deputy manager of Taiyang Tower, his surname was Song. He usually dealt with various fragments of magic weapons, so he could see a lot from a piece of fragment.

"The piece in my hand seems to contain some fifth-grade lower-grade Azure Sea Gold. If I'm not mistaken, this should be the core of the puppet's brain. Those who are willing to use this material for a fourth-grade puppet are not short of spirit stones.

Moreover, when I was making them just now, I specifically observed that the various details on the two puppets are basically exactly the same, so it can be determined that they should be made by at least a fifth-level puppeteer.

To sum up, I can basically conclude that these two puppets were not made by high-level independent cultivators, but should have come from some Nascent Soul sect.

But now it has been broken into pieces, only some research value remains, not worth too many spirit stones."

Another deputy manager of Taiyang Tower named Qi also spoke up. He was even more powerful and was the full-time treasure appraiser of Taiyang Tower.

He had handled at least eight thousand treasures, if not ten thousand, so he was able to deduce much more information than Deputy Manager Song.

However, in the last few sentences, his occupational disease came back and he habitually lowered the value of things a lot, probably in preparation for bargaining.

Noticing that the other people were looking at him, he finally reacted, then turned his head away with an embarrassed smile.

"I know nothing about puppets, so I really can't see any clues."

Xu Zhiyu told the truth. He held the fragment in his hand and looked at it over and over again. He only knew that it was extremely hard, but he could not see anything else. Not giving up, he even shone it in the sun, but still found nothing.

"Like Fellow Daoist Xu, I am not familiar with puppetry and I can't see anything either. Little Li, I wonder if Shopkeeper Li has found anything?"

Gao Jianan, a late Jindan cultivator of the Gao family, echoed Xu Zhiyu's words and turned his head to Shopkeeper Li. He almost called the latter by his private name just now, but fortunately he reacted in time and corrected himself in time.

"The two shopkeepers have already explained it in detail. I don't have any more findings for now, but we can collect all the debris from the explosion. I'll ask my friends to take a look. Maybe we can find some clues."

Upon hearing this, Shopkeeper Li shook his head and gave this suggestion.

The Jindan cultivator's spiritual sense was so powerful that he finally found more than 600 pieces of explosion fragments in an area of ​​several hundred miles. The largest was the size of a thumb, and the smallest was only as thick as a hair.

After finishing everything, Xu Zhiyu wanted to invite a few people to sit on the clan mountain, but he didn't expect that another Jindan cultivator would fly over from a distance, and there were as many as four of them. It was really one crisis after another.

"Hello fellow Taoists of Lingxiao Sect. I am Xu Zhiyu from the Xu family. May I ask what you may advise me?"

As the instigator of the whole incident, Xu Zhiyu naturally stepped forward and greeted him with a bow.

The four people who came were dressed in ordinary clothes. The high-level robes they were wearing were clearly embroidered with the sect pattern of Lingxiao Sect. Basically, any cultivator living in the Qin territory could recognize them.

Fortunately, they did not come here to cause trouble, but were attracted by the fluctuations of the golden elixir battle here and the huge explosion of the final fourth-level middle-grade puppet.

"Xu family? Which Xu family?"

The leader was a barefoot man about nine feet tall, who asked condescendingly.

He and several fellow disciples were ordered by the sect to inspect the border. Although a ceasefire agreement had been signed with the demon clan, Lingxiao Sect was not completely defenseless.

They still sent many disciples to patrol the border between the human and demon tribes, just in case. They were responsible for the entire section of Jincheng Prefecture, which was 20,000 to 30,000 miles long, so they were very familiar with the various forces nearby, but they had never heard of this Jindan Xu family, as if they had appeared out of thin air.

"It's the Xu family behind me, the Taoshui Xu family."

Xu Zhiyu half turned around and pointed at the clan mountain behind him and introduced it.

"I see. I would like to congratulate Fellow Daoist Xu and the Xu family. With nobles guarding the borders of our sect in the future, the monsters will have to think twice before harassing our human territory again."

The leading fourth-level Jindan cultivator clasped his fists and congratulated. His words were quite sincere. After the Xu family became Jindan cultivators, they would no longer have to face dangerous tasks such as patrolling the border.

"Okay, okay. I will do my best when the time comes. You may as well come to my Xu Family Mountain to have a chat!"

After the pleasantries, Xu Zhiyu invited with a smile.

"No, we'll talk about it later. My fellow apprentices and I still have to patrol the border and guard against monsters. So I'll take my leave now!"

The leading Jindan declined and left with his three fellow apprentices. However, the name of the Jindan Xu family had been firmly remembered by them.

Looking at the four people flying away, Xu Zhiyu turned around and led Manager Li and others into the Xu family.

He had already told his ancestors and grandfather the news of his successful breakthrough to the Golden Core after he had endured the thirty-nine thunder tribulations. So when he led a few people into the clan land, he found that the entire Xu family was immersed in a sea of ​​joy.

The Jindan Family, this is a name that makes people ecstatic and their blood boil. After more than a thousand years of development, their Xu family finally achieved this achievement.

Although Xu Zhiyu was also infected by the joy and wanted to go down and have fun with his fellow tribesmen, he had to give up this idea considering that there were guests behind him, and directly brought a few Jindan to the family reception room.

The last time we upgraded the family spiritual vein, we specifically asked Manager Li to open up a fourth-order lower-grade spiritual vein node here. After all, all the Xu family's receptions and send-offs will be held here in the future. It's like a storefront, so it has to be decorated in a high-end way, right?
Since all the clan members gathered in the square in front of the family meeting hall, there was no one responsible for serving here. Xu Zhiyu could only do it himself. He brewed a pot of spiritual tea for Manager Li and others, and then poured it for them personally.

On the one hand, he did this because there was really no one else available and he had to do it himself. On the other hand, it was also to express his apology. He did not tell Manager Li about the breakthrough, which seemed to be a lie.

Moreover, when he was about to break through, he lied to Manager Li again, saying that the family mountain was under siege. Although this matter did turn out to be as he said in the end, and he had his own difficulties, it was just wrong.

If he hadn't brought the two deputy shopkeepers Fu to support him in time, it would have been unknown whether he could successfully survive the thunder tribulation.

So at this moment, he was not only full of guilt, but also felt that he owed a lot of favors. Shopkeeper Li was the biggest, followed by the Gao family, and then the two deputy shopkeepers.

Thinking of this, he walked directly in front of the four people, bowed deeply, and said:

"When I was experiencing the thunder tribulation, it was all thanks to you fellow Taoists who blocked the powerful enemy, so that I could get through it smoothly. I am very grateful to you and would like to express my gratitude here!"

How could the other people dare to accept such a great gift? They all moved aside. In their eyes, Xu Zhiyu was now the synonym of mystery, and at the same time, a bit of fear.

"Fellow Daoist Xu, you are too polite. Please stand up quickly. We are all fellow Daoists. It would be too formal to say this. We should just support each other in the future."

Shopkeeper Li, who was under the orders of his master, spoke first. Knowing something about Xu Zhiyu's identity and background, he naturally didn't dare to say much, but he still had some grudges in his heart.

The other three people, seeing that Shopkeeper Li had already expressed his opinion, naturally did not dare to say anything more, but their expressions were still a little unnatural.

Xu Zhiyu could tell at a glance what the people were thinking, and it was all shown on their faces.

However, in order to express his sincere apology, he had already thought of a good idea on his way to the living room just now, and was ready to repay the favor with practical actions.

After several people sat down here, Xu Zhiyu touched the storage ring on his left ring finger, and then three jade boxes of different colors appeared in front of him.

"Friend Xu, what is this?"

Gao Jianan asked. He originally thought that this was a thank-you gift prepared for them, but then he thought again, there were four of them in total, but there were only three jade boxes. It was not enough to share, right?
"Everyone, please take a look. These are a few fifth-level spiritual herbs that I accidentally obtained during a trip to a secret realm. I plan to take them all out and hold a large auction."

Upon hearing that it was a fifth-level elixir, several people couldn't wait to open the jade box and take a look.

"Hiss! Fiery Grass, this is a genuine fifth-grade high-quality spiritual medicine, especially favored by cultivators with fire-attributed spiritual roots. Moreover, in the headquarters' warehouse, the number of this spiritual medicine will never exceed three. It is really too rare!"

Shopkeeper Li spoke first. He couldn't figure out where Xu Zhiyu, who was just a Purple Mansion cultivator before, got such a precious elixir.

"This Soul-Nourishing Ganoderma is over ten thousand years old, right? Each growth ring on the stem represents five hundred years, and there are more than twenty growth rings here.

It is rumored that this elixir is very effective in increasing the strength of a cultivator's spiritual consciousness, but more people use it to refine pills to restore injuries to the soul.

But the ones I've heard of before are only a few hundred or a thousand years old, I've never seen one that's over 10,000 years old. The value of this elixir can't be measured in spirit stones, right?"

The second box was opened by two deputy shopkeepers of Taiyang Tower. They were even more shocked. Although they had seen fifth-grade spiritual medicines before, they had never seen a spiritual medicine like the Ten Thousand Year Soul-Nourishing Ganoderma.

As for the spiritual medicine in the last box, Gao Jianan was embarrassed to not recognize it, but from the fluctuations of spiritual power emanating from it, he still judged that this was definitely a spiritual medicine of no less than the fifth level.

"I don't know exactly what this spiritual medicine is or what effects it has, but I can clearly feel the infinite energy and blood power contained in it, so this spiritual medicine should be quite effective."

In the end, it was Xu Zhiyu who came to Gao Jianan's rescue. In return for his kindness, the latter then asked:

"Just now, fellow Daoist said that he was planning to hold an auction using these three spiritual herbs. Can you tell me the specific idea?"

"No problem at all."

Xu Zhiyu paused for a moment, then began to talk about his grand plan. (End of this chapter)
