The Xu family follows Taoism and seeks longevity

After returning to the family, Xu Zhiyu first explained to his ancestors and other clan members his idea of ​​going out to gain experience.

Then he stayed with his grandparents for more than a month, and then went to the Taiyang Building branch of the family market to find Manager Li.

The two had a very pleasant conversation, and Xu Zhiyu even specifically asked him to take good care of the Xu family after he left, especially in terms of safety.

Shopkeeper Li naturally agreed without hesitation. Because the last auction was very successful, he was commended by the Taiyang Building headquarters.

Although he was not directly given the spiritual medicine that would allow him to break through the False Infant realm and reach a higher level of cultivation.

But his master, Master Zhuang, has already made arrangements and found a solution for him, so there is a great hope that this matter can be successful.

But he was also asked to keep up the good work and not forget to maintain good relations with the Xu family.

In fact, he would have done this after the Golden Elixir Ceremony even if his master had not told him to do so. He was the only cultivator in Xuanzhou who could be personally congratulated and presented with gifts by a Divine Transformation cultivator.

Shopkeeper Li sent a message to Xu Zhiyu, telling him to be at ease, saying that he had already instructed two deputy shopkeepers with the third level of Jindan cultivation to take turns standing guard outside the Xu family's territory.

These two deputy shopkeepers were originally transferred from Taiyang Tower headquarters by his master to ensure the smooth progress of his work. They belong to the same faction as him, so they basically obey his orders.

After the family safety issue was resolved, he came to Lingxiao Sect again and found Master Chu, and also mentioned the Xu family's affairs to her.

After all, the other party was someone he knew, and he was the one with the highest cultivation level and status in Lingxiao Sect.

The Xu family is under the jurisdiction of the Lingxiao Sect, so if something really happens, the other party can also help speak up.

After talking about family matters, Master Chu also told him a good news.

That is, according to the information he provided, Lingxiao Sect's two supreme elders with the cultivation level of Nascent Soul, brought dozens of Jindan elders and set up an ambush at the border between Yue and Qin.

He was surprised to find that the notorious Wuhu Gang had set their sights on a market of similar size to Xu's Taoyuan Market, and had already formulated a plan to attack it.

After capturing a Jindan cultivator from the Wuhu Gang and searching his soul, the Yuanying Zhenjun of the Lingxiao Sect decided to use the same trick against him.

He sent a Jindan monk who was good at disguise to transform himself into the appearance of the monk whose soul was being searched, and then broke into the Wuhu Gang.

Finally, when the Wuhu Gang was about to succeed in their attack on the market town, cultivators from the Lingxiao Sect suddenly appeared and caught them off guard.

In the end, except for one Nascent Soul cultivator who escaped alone, the remaining dozens of Five Lakes Gang cultivators were all either killed or captured.

After this battle, the Five Lakes Gang that gathered on the borders of Jin, Qin and Yue was basically eliminated.

When this news was announced to the world, the forces along the borders of the three kingdoms were so happy that they celebrated with banquets for many days.

Although Lingxiao Sect's leader Gu Tianchang had promised before that he would grant Master Chu the elixir to break through the false infant stage in the future, the specific time had not been decided.

Maybe it will be ten years later, or maybe it will be twenty years later, because there are many ninth-level Jindan cultivators in Lingxiao Sect waiting in line to break through to the False Infant stage!

She had neither a strong backer nor any outstanding contributions, so she could only wait patiently.

This time, she made a great contribution by providing clues to the destruction of the Five Lakes Gang, so after discussion by the Sect Master and the Council of Elders, she was directly rewarded with an elixir that would advance her to the level of a false infant, so that she could go into seclusion and break through immediately.

As for the reward from the Xu family, Xu Zhiyu also asked about it. After all, he was the one who provided the clue, and it was impossible for Lingxiao Sect to not show any appreciation at all.

Master Chu smiled, and then told him that rewards for the Xu family would naturally be indispensable. The sect decided that the tax that the Xu family's Taoyuan Market should pay would be reduced from 20% to 10%.

This reward or grace was quite extraordinary. Before the Xu family's market spiritual vein level was upgraded, their annual net income was approximately 400,000 spirit stones.

Every year, 20% of the profits are handed over to Lingxiao Sect, which comes out to be 80,000 yuan, which doesn't seem like much.

But ever since the Xu family upgraded the spiritual veins of the market town, everything has changed.

Take the grand auction before his Golden Elixir Ceremony for example, the Xu family made a killing.

The net profit is nearly 100,000 mid-grade spirit stones. Twenty percent of this is nearly 20,000 mid-grade spirit stones. This amount is quite scary.

Moreover, Xu Zhiyu, his grandfather and others had made detailed calculations based on the Xu family's existing market scale system.

The net profit for a year should be around two million low-grade spirit stones, and 20% of the profit is four hundred thousand.

And it's not just 400,000 spirit stones a year, but 400,000 spirit stones every year. Over time, how many spirit stones will the Xu family have to pay for this?
Now, the payment amount has been reduced by half, saving 200,000 low-grade spirit stones a year, which is enough for the price of several foundation-building talismans. It is a great thing. At least the burden on the family is not so heavy.

The Xu family can save these spirit stones and do other things.

For example, subsidizing clan members to learn the various arts of cultivation, or increasing the amount of family pensions, so that relatives of clan members who sacrificed their lives for the family can enjoy more favorable treatment, thereby enhancing family cohesion.

Afterwards, Xu Zhiyu left Lingxiao Sect and took the teleportation array, first going to Huitong Market in Yue State, and then to the Taiyang Tower headquarters.

After coming here, he originally planned to visit Tong Ying and Zhuang Zhenjun first.

However, Granny Wen told them that the two of them had been assigned by Venerable Muwei to go to Zuzhou to participate in a grand event and would not be there for the time being.

This made him a little troubled. He came to Taiyang Building headquarters this time with his own purpose.

The first thing he had to do was to sell the sixth-grade low-grade spiritual medicine Red Blood Dragon Ginseng on him, and then use the spiritual stones he got to buy the precious materials he needed to refine his own magic weapon.

Then he planned to ask Tong Ying or Zhuang Zhenjun to issue him an identity certificate, and then he would take it to Jiushi Sect to take the ultra-long-distance teleportation array, and then teleport to Jiushi Sect’s base camp in Zuzhou.

This is also the only way for Xuanzhou cultivators to go to Zhongzhou.

The reason why a Nascent Soul cultivator is needed to issue a certificate is actually a disguised guarantee.

This proves that your identity and background are clean. If something goes wrong in the future, the monk who guaranteed you will also suffer together.

This can be considered a screening system. Just think about it, there are so many Jindan cultivators on the Xuanzhou Continent. If they all want to use the Jiushi Sect's ultra-long-distance teleportation formation to go to the Zuzhou Continent, wouldn't the order of the Xuanzhou immortal world be in chaos?
As a general cultivator, you don't even have the qualifications to enter the Huashen Sect. You can only take the teleportation array if you find a Yuanying True Lord who is willing to guarantee you. And finding a Yuanying cultivator to guarantee you may not seem like a difficult task, but it is actually fraught with difficulties.

Generally speaking, no Yuanying Zhenjun would be willing to do such a thing, unless it was his own disciple or close relative, then there would be an exception.

This guarantee alone is enough to keep out 99% of cultivators, so after a cultivator breaks through the Jindan stage, the places they choose to travel to are often the surrounding countries.

Xu Zhiyu is different. He knows quite a few Nascent Soul cultivators, and his relationship with Tong Ying and Zhuang Zhenjun is the closest among them. This can be seen from the last time when the two of them personally attended his Golden Core Ceremony.

However, although these two people did not see him, Granny Wen told him that Master Muwei's eldest disciple, Xia Zhenjun, was there at this time, and took him to pay a visit to him.

When he learned the purpose of his visit, Xia Zhenjun jumped up happily.

You know, after the news about the Red Blood Dragon Ginseng came out last time, many late Nascent Soul cultivators from Lingxiao Sect came to him to inquire about the situation.

What he meant by the words was that he wanted to buy the Red Blood Dragon Ginseng.

When a Nascent Soul cultivator breaks through to the Spiritual Transformation stage, the strength of his Qi and blood plays a big role in the breakthrough. Ordinary elixirs do not have a significant effect on enhancing Qi and blood.

But the Red Blood Dragon Ginseng is different. It can instantly increase a person's qi and blood power by hundreds of times and last for decades.

Such a sixth-grade elixir is simply created specifically for Nascent Soul cultivators to break through to the God Transformation stage. Therefore, any cultivator who still has a chance of breaking through to the God Transformation stage will be extremely attracted to it.

Then, Master Xia used a sound transmission device to gather all the late Nascent Soul cultivators at the headquarters, announced the good news to them, and then officially started the auction.

After Xu Zhiyu completely entrusted the matter to Xia Zhenjun, he slipped away. The feeling of being with more than ten Yuanying Zhenjuns was suffocating just thinking about it.

After leaving Xia Zhenjun's palace, he went straight to the largest shop in the Taiyang Tower headquarters. There were all kinds of spiritual objects here, and he planned to search here for the materials he needed to refine magic weapons.

“Fellow Daoist, the materials you listed are so rare that I turned the entire warehouse upside down and only found three kinds: Thunder Puppet Stone, Thousand-Year Lightning-Struck Wood, and Jade Sun Gold Iron.

As for the rest, I have only heard of many of them, but have never seen them in person. They are extremely precious materials, so I hope you can forgive me."

"Thank you, shopkeeper. Could you please calculate how many spiritual stones these three spiritual objects are worth in total?"

"Eight thousand middle-grade spirit stones of Thunder Puppet Stone, thirteen thousand middle-grade spirit stones of Millennium Lightning Struck Wood, six thousand middle-grade spirit stones of Jade Sun Gold and Iron, a total of twenty-seven thousand middle-grade spirit stones.

However, since you have spent more than 25,000 medium-grade spirit stones in our store, we will give you a purple-gold VIP card. In the future, you will get a 20% discount when you use this card to shop. "

Upon hearing this, Xu Zhiyu said nothing more and directly took out enough spirit stones from his storage ring to settle the bill.

After walking out of the store, he couldn't help but smile bitterly.

“To refine the top-level life magic weapon, thirty-six kinds of materials are needed, but now we only have three, and they are the three most common ones.

These three are also the cheapest. Even so, they cost me more than 20,000 mid-grade spirit stones. If I buy all the materials, wouldn't it cost several million mid-grade spirit stones?"

Even though he was very wealthy, he was still shocked by the cost of his life's magic weapon.

Fortunately, once the natal magic weapon is refined and formed, its power will increase as the owner's cultivation level improves. It can continue to grow and be used, so it is not a loss overall.

It took him a whole day to purchase the materials. He estimated that his red-blood dragon ginseng should have been auctioned off, so he turned around and headed towards Xia Zhenjun's palace.

When he arrived at the palace gate and asked a Jindan cultivator, he found out that the auction had not ended at all and was at a fever pitch, so he turned around and left.

He didn't want to get involved in Yuanying Zhenjun's affairs, and he couldn't afford to get involved.

In this way, he wandered around the Taiyang Building headquarters for three full days before returning. After all, it was such a big place that he would have no problem finding somewhere to go.

This time, he learned that the auction ended yesterday afternoon, so he entered the palace to pay a visit to Xia Zhenjun.

From him, I learned that the Red Blood Dragon Ginseng was finally taken by the richest deputy owner of Taiyang Tower.

As a result, Xu Zhiyu became rich overnight and directly obtained 5 million medium-grade spirit stones, which instantly made his worries about the huge cost of refining his own magic weapon disappear.

Of course, Xia Zhenjun played a big role in the successful auction of this elixir this time. Otherwise, even if he wanted to sell the Red Blood Dragon Ginseng, he would not be able to find a way.

If the news that a Jindan cultivator possessed a fifth-grade elixir were to spread, it would be like a child carrying gold in a busy city. Needless to say, the consequences would be unimaginable. Not only would he not be able to obtain the elixir, he would not even be able to save his life.

So Xu Zhiyu followed the rules of the immortal cultivation world and took out 500,000 medium-grade spirit stones as a reward to Xia Zhenjun. After all, he helped a lot in this matter.

Finally, after much pushing and refusing from both sides, Xia Zhenjun finally accepted it. Xu Zhiyu took the opportunity to raise the issue of collecting materials for his natal magic weapon, and showed him the list, asking him to help think of a way to see if he could get a few more items.

"Friend Xu, forgive me for being blunt, but many of the spiritual objects on your list have not appeared in the world of immortal cultivation for many years.

Even if these materials have not become extinct, they probably exist in some unknown place.

So if you want to refine this kind of magic weapon, I think it is too difficult. It would be better to reduce some materials and refine a simpler magic weapon for your own life.

But this is just my suggestion. You have to decide for yourself how to proceed. As far as I know, nine of the materials on your list are in the secret library of the headquarters.

Please wait here for a while, I will go and exchange it for you and will be back soon."

"Thank you, senior!"

Xia Zhenjun was very efficient and it took him less than half a day to exchange for the nine materials he needed.

"I found three species before, and now I've found nine more. That means I've found one third of them. It doesn't seem as difficult as I imagined!"

Xu Zhiyu thought happily as he took the spiritual object with great joy.

Afterwards, Xia Zhenjun personally sent him to Jiushi Sect. Originally, he said no, but Xia Zhenjun insisted, so he had no choice but to agree. (End of this chapter)
