The Xu family follows Taoism and seeks longevity

Time flies, and six years have passed in the blink of an eye.

During these six years, the Xu family has been undergoing tremendous changes all the time, including the cultivation of the family members and their mental outlook. After all, they have become a Jindan family!

If we turn our attention to Taoyuanfang City thousands of miles away, we will find that the changes here are no less than those in the Xu family's land.

Originally, the distance between the two places was six thousand miles. Now, with the expansion of the Xu family mountain and the market town, the distance between the two is less than four thousand miles.

"Jixiu, where is Jixiu? Ask him to come see me."

Standing in front of a magnificent but not yet fully completed building, Xu Zhikai stretched his neck and shouted at his busy and confused tribesmen.

"Uncle Thirty-Six, please stop shouting. Uncle Ninety-Five left for Dahe Market yesterday to buy spiritual materials for the roof of Tianhe Pavilion!"

A cultivator of the Xu family's Ji generation who was at the second level of foundation building was originally directing the clan members to work. Upon hearing his uncle's call, he immediately jumped to his side, bowed and explained.

"Hehe, that's better. If he buys a bunch of junk like he did the last time, you'll see how I'll deal with him."

Hearing this, Xu Zhikai's frown relaxed a little, but he still spoke in a bad mood.

"Uncle Thirty-Six, if there is nothing else, I will get busy!"

"Okay, go ahead and get busy."

But before he could take two steps, Xu Zhikai spoke again.

"By the way, Zhili, you are in charge of the renovation of 'Tianhe Pavilion'. You should prepare the necessary things as early as possible. Don't be like your uncle Ninety-Five, who only gets anxious when things are right before his eyes."

“I know, Uncle Thirty-Six, I ordered all the spiritual materials used for decoration from Taiyang Tower.

The goods have arrived, but the market is currently undergoing expansion and repairs, so they have been piled up in their warehouse and have not been brought back."

“Okay, as long as it’s ready, there’s no need to rush to get it back. It’s still quite safe in Taiyang Tower. You can just pick it up when you need it.

You have to tell the tribesmen working here that 'Tianhe Pavilion' is where the next high-level auction will be held. Many important figures will come, so they must be careful and not make any mistakes.

Otherwise, our Xu family will be embarrassed, and this must not be allowed to happen.

Tell them that our Xu family has finally become a Jindan family. This is the first time we are showing our face in front of other equal forces, so we must do it to perfection. "

Seeing his nephew's somewhat embarrassed expression, Xu Zhikai's tone softened again, and he said in a gentle voice:

"I know you've all been working very hard. In order to build this 'Tianhe Pavilion', the tribesmen haven't had a proper rest for several months.

The patriarch and I have already discussed this, and once the Tianhe Pavilion is completed, we will give you a good vacation.

At the same time, in order to compensate you, you will be given 3,000 family contribution points as a reward, and you can also purchase some cultivation resources at the exchange meeting."

"Thank you for your understanding and concern, Uncle Thirty-Six. Please tell the ancestors and clan leaders that we will definitely complete the project within a month and guarantee that there will be no defects."

"Okay, I'll pass it on, you go get busy!"

Looking at his nephew who left happily, Xu Zhikai shook his head slightly. No matter how many good words he said, they would not be as useful as rewards!
"Uncle Thirty-Six, so you are here? I have been looking for you for a long time."

Another monk of the Ji generation came to his side in a hurry and spoke in an anxious tone.

Xu Zhikai looked back and found that the person coming was Xu Jiyue, the eighty-fourth in the Ji generation.

He remembered that the other party was in charge of matters related to the exchange venue with the Gao family. He should be in the northeast area of ​​the city now. Why did he come here?
"Jiyue, what do you want from me?"

Xu Jiyue saw a pot of spiritual tea on the table beside him, and there were many tea cups on the plate next to it.

She was so thirsty that she had no time to answer her uncle's question. She poured herself a cup of spiritual tea and drank it in big gulps.

"Uncle Thirty-Six, Gao Yunying, the seventh elder of the Gao family, wants to see you. He said he has something important to discuss."

"Her? If she has any problem, just ask her to find the clan leader. Can't you see that I'm busy supervising the construction of the 'Tianhe Pavilion'?"

As the auction date approaches and Xu Zhiyu's Golden Elixir Ceremony is about to be held, the Xu family has been extremely busy in recent times, and basically no cultivator is idle.

"The clan leader returned to the clan mountain the day before yesterday. He said that Uncle Nineteen might be coming out soon, and he wanted to go and keep an eye on him personally, otherwise he would be worried."

Xu Jiyue replied that that was why he came to find Xu Zhikai.

"Is the ancestor not here either?"

"Have you forgotten? The ancestor is distributing invitations everywhere and is not in the market."

Hearing that all the cultivators in the family who could make decisions were not in the market, Xu Zhikai had no choice but to go ahead on his own.

However, he still felt a little embarrassed about the Seventh Elder of the Gao Family who expressed his love to him as soon as they met. He had never planned to find a Taoist partner in his life. He only had the Tao and his family in his heart.

"Alas, Brother Eleven has been in seclusion for so long, I wonder how things are going this time? If he can successfully break through and come out early, he can also help me share some of the responsibilities."

Thinking this in his mind, Xu Zhikai followed Xu Jiyue on the flying sword and came to the northeast corner of the market town.

This is a newly added area after the spiritual vein of the market was upgraded. They had originally planned to build bungalows here to accommodate the increasing number of independent cultivators, but it was temporarily requisitioned by the Gao family and used as a venue for an exchange meeting.

"You know what, the Gao family has a good eye. This place is long from east to west and narrow from north to south. People walk in the middle, and booths for the products of various forces are set up on both sides. It is indeed very presentable."

After arriving here, Xu Zhikai found that the Gao family had almost finished decorating the place, and he praised Xu Jiuyue who was walking behind him.

"The outermost ones are the foundation-building booths. Each one occupies only ten feet in radius, and the location is not fixed. It's like a stall set up by an independent cultivator. As long as you can afford it, you can rent a booth and sell the various spiritual objects produced by your own forces.

Close to the center is the booth of the Zifu forces. The booth here is a hundred feet in radius and can accommodate more cultivators. These positions are fixed.

If you want to display and sell spiritual objects here, you must first report to my Xujiafang City Management Office, and then come to negotiate with the Seventh Elder of the Gao Family. Only when the conditions are agreed upon can you occupy a seat here.

As for the six magnificently decorated stands in the center, they were prepared by the Gao family for the Jindan forces."

Xu Jiyue introduced as they walked, saying that she had been keeping an eye on the construction from the very beginning until now, so she was very familiar with it and knew it like the back of her hand.

"Among the six families, besides our Xu family, the Gao family, and Taiyang Tower, which other three Jindan forces are there?" Standing in the middle of the six luxurious exhibition stands, Xu Zhikai asked in confusion.

"There is also the Foguang Sect in Wuwei Prefecture, the Gu Family in Dingbian Prefecture, and... the Baiyi Sect."

"You mean that Baiyimen will also participate in this exchange meeting?"

“They will not only attend exchanges, but also swap meets and auctions.”

Xu Jiyue replied unhappily. She also had no good feelings towards Bai Yi Sect. Although she was relatively young and her family had already left Bai Yi Sect and came under the jurisdiction of Ling Xiao Sect when she started practicing,

But her family elders taught her since she was a child how the Xu family was persecuted by the Baiyi Sect when they were weak.

"That's not right, is it? Why didn't I know anything about this?"

Xu Zhikai asked. As one of the three Purple Mansions currently at home in the Xu family and a candidate for the next clan leader, he felt that there should be not much about the family that he didn't know.

“It is the responsibility of Taiyang House to raise funds for the auction. When Baiyi Sect approached them to send spiritual objects for auction, Manager Li even went to the clan leader to discuss the matter.

At that time, I happened to be looking for the clan leader to report on the construction progress of the exchange venue, and I ran into him by chance, and that's when I learned about this.

After pondering for a while, the clan leader finally agreed to Baiyimen's request to send the spiritual objects for auction, and told me not to tell anyone. He may have his own considerations! "

Although Xu Zhikai still didn't understand why Xu Chengsheng agreed to let Baiyimen participate in this large-scale auction event.

But since it has come to this, he can't say anything more. He can only move on to the temporary cave of the Gao family cultivators to discuss matters with their seventh elder.

At this moment, in the most prosperous center of the market town, in a private room on the second floor of a high-end teahouse opened by a family of a Jindan elder of the Lingxiao Sect, a group of cultivators from various prefectures of the Qin State were sitting and talking loudly.

Most of them were attracted by the news that the Xu family, the Gao family and Taiyang Building were jointly organizing a high-end auction.

However, there are cultivators here who come from places too far away from Yongzhou. They have only heard of the reputation of Taiyang Tower and have never heard of the once-prominent Gao family, let alone the Xu family, a newly-promoted Jindan family.

"Hey, everyone, tell me, is this auction really as outrageous as the publicity says? Not only will there be fifth-level spiritual medicines, but there are three of them at once. It doesn't sound credible at all."

Someone raised doubts.

"Why is it unreliable? Don't forget that Taiyang Tower is one of the three forces that initiated the auction. Is it strange to use a fifth-level spiritual medicine as the finale treasure?"

Some people disagreed and thought he was making a fuss out of nothing.

"That's even more strange, isn't it? Taiyang Tower is a spiritual power, and the Xu family is just a small, unknown family. These two families are joining together to hold an auction. Is it necessary for Taiyang Tower to take out the fifth-level spiritual medicine to promote the Xu family?
For a newly promoted Jindan family like the Xu family, even if they want to hold an auction, they should hold it jointly with a Jindan force like the Gao family, which they have a good relationship with. They can't invite the great god Taiyanglou anyway!"

Of course, some people think that something is fishy.

"The Xu family is not an ordinary Jindan family." A local cultivator who was familiar with the development history of the Xu family interrupted.

"Is there anything else unusual about the Jindan family? You can look at the tables around, most of which are from the Jindan faction."

There was a man waving a folding fan, clearly disdainful of the monk's remarks just now.

“A hundred years ago, the Xu family was a foundation-building family. Fifty years ago, they became a purple mansion family. Now, fifty years later, they have become a golden elixir family. This is what makes them so special.

In our Yongzhou, the Xu family is a legend, and most of the talk on the streets is about their family affairs.

I would like to ask this fellow Taoist, among the Jindan forces present here, are there any that have grown so rapidly?"

The local cultivator retorted that he was the patriarch of a Zifu family. After learning about the Xu family's deeds in detail, he had been using this to motivate his clansmen, hoping that they could follow the Xu family's example and advance to become a Jindan family as soon as possible.

"This... I've never heard of it. If what you said is true, the history of the Xu family is indeed quite legendary."

The monk holding the folding fan nodded slightly to the local monk, indicating his approval of what he said.

"To rise so quickly, the Xu family must have either obtained a heaven-defying treasure or had the support of a noble person. Otherwise, it doesn't make sense!"

Just when a group of Purple Mansion cultivators were discussing heatedly, a Jindan cultivator who suddenly appeared on the second floor spoke.

These words were quite hurtful, so no one was willing to respond. If they just went along with it, it would be bad if it got to the ears of the Xu family, after all, they were outsiders.

They didn't dare to refute, because the other party was a Jindan cultivator. Although he would not take action in public, who could guarantee it?

Just when the Jindan cultivator was feeling frustrated and was about to turn around and leave, another voice came from afar.

“This fellow Taoist’s guess is correct. The rise of the Xu family should be one of the two situations mentioned above, but I think the second situation is more likely, because the Xu family alone cannot produce a fifth-level spiritual medicine.

It should be that someone in their family got acquainted with the Nascent Soul cultivator of Taiyang Tower, so Taiyang Tower held an auction jointly with them and took out the fifth-level spiritual medicine as the finale treasure. "

Although everyone only heard the voice of the person who spoke but not the person himself, since he dared to call the Jindan cultivator "fellow Taoist", one could imagine his level of cultivation. By identifying his location by the sound of his voice, they knew that he should be in the box.

"What this fellow Taoist said is very much to my liking. He is different from these timid youngsters. I wonder if I could ask you for a cup of tea?"

The Jindan cultivator in the elegant seat heard a cultivator of the same level talking to him, and what he said was exactly what he was thinking, so he wanted to get to know the other person.

"my pleasure!"

The guest in the box was also a straightforward person and agreed immediately.

After six years of seclusion and practicing martial arts, Xu Zhiyu finally restored his cultivation to the Golden Core Stage after dispersing his martial arts skills.

Originally, the speed was not so fast, but since he had an innate thunder spiritual root, as long as he practiced the skills a little, the spiritual energy would continuously rush into his body and form a spiritual energy funnel directly above his head.

“It’s time to come out of seclusion. Now I am truly invincible below the level of False Infant cultivators. The Shenxiao Sect’s skills seem to be tailor-made for me.

It's really a perfect match. I guess only I can truly unleash the power of this set of skills."

As soon as he released a little bit of his magic power, all kinds of arcs of electricity flashed on his body, just like the god of thunder descending to the earth.

After feeling his own strength, Xu Zhiyu stood up and walked out of the retreat. (End of this chapter)
