The Xu family follows Taoism and seeks longevity

After returning to Xuanzhou, Xu Zhiyu did not return to his family immediately because he was afraid of bringing unnecessary disaster to his family.

After leaving Jiushizong, he continued to travel, but this time his travels were much more normal and he never did those petty thefts again.

Firstly, he had collected enough fourth-order spirit veins, and secondly, he was afraid that the person who transmitted the message would hear the message and find him again. He was really scared.

In this way, he traveled around the Xuanzhou Continent for several years, basically visiting every country. Finally, after confirming that no one was following him, he thought about returning to his family.

However, as luck would have it, his last stop was the Donghai Market in Yue State. He thought that since he was already here, he might as well go to Half Moon Island to see the situation of the branch tribe members.

He did what he said and flew directly to the Huangsha Sea without notifying anyone.

He hadn't been here for many years, and the situation here was very different from what he saw decades ago.

Specifically, the number of sea beasts decreased, while the number of monks increased.

In the Yellow Sand Sea in the past, if you went not far, there would be hordes of sea beasts chasing your ships. If you could not deter them with force, they would launch an attack.

It is different now. Ships traveling to and fro in this sea area can be seen everywhere, but the sea beasts following the ships are nowhere to be seen. No one knows whether they have moved to deeper parts of the sea or are lying dormant on the seabed, waiting for the right time to move.

Among the numerous islands scattered across the sea, many of those with spiritual veins are occupied by human monks, who reproduce and thrive here.

In this way, he used the Thunder Escape Technique and it only took him about five days to reach the location of Half Moon Island.

Watching from afar, he felt that great changes had taken place here. When he discovered this place, the entire island was no different from an ordinary deserted island. But now, under the careful care of the many branch monks sent by the Xu family, it has become almost as beautiful as a fairy island.

On the distant island, there were countless magical flowers and herbs growing all over the mountains. At the same time, countless tall trees could be vaguely seen standing beside the courtyard, rockery, ponds, and flying eaves of jade buildings.

The most amazing thing was that there was a line of white spiritual birds flying in front of the mountain. If he was not mistaken, they should be white-feathered cranes, which added to the charm of the mountain.

Of course, this is also because his cultivation level is as high as the fifth level of Jindan, so he can see these clearly. If it were someone with a cultivation level below Jindan, he probably wouldn't be able to see through it, because Half Moon Island is surrounded by a set of third-grade superior protective formations, which ordinary cultivators would definitely not be able to see through.

Xu Feng stood in the air for a moment, looked at Half Moon Island and its surroundings, and then began to move towards the rolling white fog.

In fact, it is not white fog, it just looks like it. These are emitted from the protective formation and are specifically used for early warning.

He did this just to test and see how the local people would respond if someone forced their way into the island.

The moment his figure touched the thick fog, a green light shot out, and two mighty foundation-building monks suddenly walked out of the white fog.

"Senior, this is the Xu family of Half Moon Island. What can I do for you?"

Since Xu Zhiyu was not showing his true face at the moment, the two clansmen did not recognize him, and he naturally did not know these two people either. It was really that the number of cultivators in the Xu family was growing too fast, and he really could not recognize them all.

Although the two of them sensed at the first moment that his cultivation was far superior to theirs, they remained neither humble nor arrogant when they spoke.

"Half Moon Island Xu family? Never heard of it! Youngster, go and inform the most powerful person in your clan and tell them that the casual cultivator Xu is here to visit."

Xu Zhiyu just scanned with his spiritual sense and found that the people with the highest cultivation level on the island were Xu Zhifeng, who was at the fourth level of Purple Mansion, and Xu Zhiqiang and his wife, who were both at the third level of Purple Mansion.

However, on a small island less than three hundred miles away from Half Moon Island, there was a cultivator at the sixth level of the Golden Core Realm, who was practicing hard with a mid-grade spirit stone in his hand.

He clearly saw that the two family foundation builders were stunned for a moment after hearing his words. One of them immediately activated a warning talisman, and the other saluted him and said:
"Please wait a moment, Senior. We will go and notify the clan leader to come and greet you."

After saying that, the two of them immediately dived into the clouds, and then it became visible to the naked eye that the entire protective formation was shining brightly, and it was obvious that it had been stimulated to its strongest state.

And at the moment when the warning talisman flew out, the sixth-level Jindan cultivator who had been practicing without distraction suddenly opened his eyes, and then without any delay, he immediately flew towards Half Moon Island.

Xu Zhiyu didn't know this person and had no idea what his relationship was with the Xu family. Judging from his actions just now, he seemed like the guardian of the Xu family.

After a few breaths, the person was already standing in front of him. Judging from his puzzled expression, he didn't know Xu Zhiyu either.

"My fellow Taoist, what are you doing here? I am Han Wuji, and I have yet to ask you for advice?"

Although Xu Zhiyu's cultivation level was only the fifth level of Golden Core, Han Wuji always felt that he was the weaker party, so he bowed and asked first.

"I came here to visit fellow Taoists of the Xu family. This doesn't seem to have much to do with you, does it?"

Because he was suspicious of the true relationship between Han Wuji and the Xu family, Xu Zhiyu continued to test him.

"My fellow Taoist, if you are here to cause trouble, then I advise you to stop. The Xu family is not someone you can touch. It is protected by our Taiyang Tower, and I am the guardian."

So it was sent by Taiyang Tower. I thought so, Xu Zhiyu thought to himself. However, he should have guessed it long ago. The Yellow Sand Sea originally belonged to Taiyang Tower. Who else would send people to guard the Xu family except them?
"Haha, this is truly a strange story. A Purple Mansion family is actually worthy of a Jindan cultivator to guard it. This really opened my eyes today!"

"Don't bother your Excellency with this matter. You only have two choices now. One is to get out of here before I lose my temper..."

"What about option two?"

Xu Zhiyu looked at the other party with a smile and asked, he wanted to see how many backup plans Taiyang Tower had made for the Xu family, and he also wanted to see to what extent the cultivator in front of him could do for the Xu family.

"Choice two is, if you insist on not listening to my advice, then wait to be killed by my sect's Yuanying senior!"

Han Wuji said sternly.

"Where is the Nascent Soul cultivator? Why can't I see him? Call him out so I can see him."

"Uh..., just because there is nothing now doesn't mean there won't be anything later. To tell you the truth, after I found you just now, I asked for help from the seniors in the sect.

He is in charge of the Huangsha Market, which is less than 50,000 miles away, and is on his way here."

Upon hearing this, Xu Zhiyu laughed, revealed his true face, and shouted to the clouds behind him:

"Zhifeng, Zhiqiang, stop hiding and come out. I'm back."

Seeing his changed face, Han Wuji's expression did not change much. To travel in the world of immortal cultivation, it is very necessary to master one or two techniques of disguise, and he himself is also an expert in this field.

However, when the other members of the Xu family heard the call, they became nervous and immediately opened the formation to meet each other.

"My fellow Taoists from the Xu family, this person's cultivation seems to be higher than mine. You should be patient and do not step out of the formation. Wait until my uncle comes and we can determine who is right and who is wrong." Han Wuji obviously did not agree to do this. Protecting the Xu family's safety was a task he had fought hard for from his master Zhuang Zhenjun. He could not afford to make any mistakes. He knew clearly his master's attitude towards the Xu family.

After these words were spoken, the Xu family cultivators in the formation fell silent, as if they agreed with this solution. Obviously, due to their low strength, they could not distinguish the true from the false.

Although they all felt surprisingly consistent and believed that the person outside the formation was the real Nineteenth Brother, after all, it concerned the lives of hundreds of tribesmen on Half Moon Island. They really didn't dare to gamble. If they lost the bet, everything would be over.

However, this did not prevent them from chatting with Xu Zhiyu while waiting for the arrival of Taiyang Tower Yuanying Zhenjun, so as to better confirm the authenticity.

Then the Xu family members in the formation began to interrogate him, asking him to answer various common sense questions about the Xu family.

This made Xu Zhiyu laugh and cry. He had originally planned to test the adaptability of his tribesmen, but he didn't expect to go too far.

However, no matter what he said at this moment, no one would believe him, and they could only ask and answer through the formation.

"Since you said you are the Nineteenth Brother, then let me ask you, what is your father's name?"

"Xu Zhengyang."

"Who is the current ancestor of our Xu family?"

"Xu Deming."

"Brother Nineteen has two spirit beasts. What are their names?"

"Huahua and Xiaojin."

"What kind of monsters are they?"

"One is an iron-eating beast, and the other is a silver-scaled beast."

"."

As the issues became more and more in-depth, the Xu family members' suspicion of him weakened and their trust in him gradually increased.

"Brother Nineteen, this proves that it is really you. Didn't you go to travel in Zuzhou? How come you are back so soon?"

Xu Zhiqiang simply acknowledged his identity and began to ask him about his travels.

"Faster? It's been almost thirty years now. I was traveling well, but something unexpected happened in the middle, so I had to turn back halfway."

"Brother Nineteen, I heard that Zuzhou is extremely prosperous and has countless high-level cultivators. Can you tell us what you have seen and heard?"

"Zuzhou, it is divided into five regions, namely..."

As Xu Zhiyu narrated his story in vivid detail, not only the Xu family members in the formation were fascinated, but also Han Wuji who was standing opposite him.

Although he was already a sixth-level Jindan cultivator and a disciple of Yuanying Zhenjun, he had never set foot in Zuzhou and was very curious about the place.

After explaining for more than a quarter of an hour, Xu Zhiyu suddenly stopped explaining when he was about to reach a very exciting point. Instead, he turned his head to the east and said softly:
"coming!"

This left everyone confused and they didn't understand what he meant.

"What's coming? Brother Nineteen."

Xu Zhifeng asked, while looking towards the sea surface in the east, but saw nothing.

"Mysterious."

Han Wuji said disdainfully. He had just spread out his spiritual sense to explore towards the east, but found nothing.

Although the location of 'Huangshafang City' is indeed in the east, he does not believe that Xu Zhiyu's spiritual sense can explore farther than him, because the strength of his spiritual sense has always been something he is proud of.

It turned out that he had had an adventure during the foundation-building period. When he entered an ancient cave to explore, he accidentally discovered a secret technique for practicing to enhance spiritual consciousness.

Since then, he has been practicing non-stop until today, and the reason why he was favored by Master Zhuang and accepted as a disciple was also because of his extraordinary spiritual power.

Even though his cultivation was only at the sixth level of the Golden Core, the strength of his consciousness was completely comparable to that of a ninth level Golden Core cultivator, and was similar to that of Xu Zhiyu before he absorbed the consciousness of the Five Elements Venerable.

However, he couldn't figure it out no matter how hard he tried. The strength of Xu Zhiyu's spiritual awareness could not be inferred by common sense.

Over the years, his spiritual awareness has been further strengthened and is now comparable to that of a ninth-level Nascent Soul cultivator. I don't know how far he is ahead of Han Wuji.

The one who was rushing over at this moment was just an ordinary True Lord with the cultivation level of the second level of Nascent Soul. His spiritual sense was far inferior to his. It was a quarter of an hour after Xu Zhiyu discovered him that his spiritual sense finally scanned him.

The cultivator who came hurriedly was named Zhang Wendao, a recent disciple of Venerable Mu Wei. He was asked by his two senior brothers and sisters to protect the safety of the Xu family branch on Half Moon Island, so after receiving the emergency message from his nephew, he rushed over immediately.

When Zhang Wenda arrived at Half Moon Island, he actually didn't give a clear answer as to whether the person in front of him was Xu Zhiyu or not. However, everyone in the Xu family had already confirmed this, so he had made a wasted trip.

But it can increase a little sense of security. After all, it’s better to be cautious!
Then everyone came to the reception room of Half Moon Island. Xu Zhiyu asked someone to serve tea. Suddenly he thought that there might not be good tea here, so he took out a few pieces of 'Liuyun Fairy Tea' and asked the Foundation Establishment Clan members to brew it.

Since the "Liuyun Fairy Tea Tree" was transplanted into the sealed space by him, it has grown very well. Not only have more than 20 years passed, but he has also harvested another batch of mature tea leaves, with a total of about one hundred pieces.

He was quite generous and gave each person twenty slices.

"Hiss, good tea, it really is good tea. Is this the spiritual tea leaves produced in Zuzhou? It tastes good and has good effects too."

Zhang Wendao smiled and praised endlessly. The sixth-level Jindan cultivator sitting next to him, after drinking the tea, started practicing his skills to refine the vast spiritual power in it to increase his cultivation.

Next, Xu Zhiyu began to ask about the situation of Xu Zhifeng's family. Before, he was the one being questioned, but now the situation has changed and it was his turn to ask others.

During the questioning process, he unexpectedly learned a piece of news.

That was his Taoist partner, who had never been admitted to the sect, who died from the invasion of inner demons when she was about to break through the golden elixir cultivation level.

After hearing the news, Xu Zhiyu remained silent for a long time, and finally he could only sigh to the sky:
"It seems that I am destined to die alone in this life." (End of this chapter)
