Cultivation of immortality in the family

Chapter 142 Twenty-Four Generations

When Su Jiaxiang opened the door of a retreat room on Biluo Peak, he felt that just a few months had passed away, as if a lifetime had passed.

It was only after he calmed down his obsessions, obtained the Foundation Establishment Pill, and was fully prepared that he took the most important step resolutely.

For this reason, he also incurred thousands of debts for good deeds.

If he fails to advance successfully, he, who does not have much wealth to begin with, may never have a second chance to build a foundation in his life.

After all, the younger generation is stronger than the previous generation. With the shortage of Foundation Establishment Pills, it is already very good for him to get one.

He is not a proud man, so the family cannot bet all its resources on him.

To be honest, in the eyes of some people, his status is just that of a clan member of a side branch.

However, Su Jiaxiang was extremely grateful that he was born in the Su family. The so-called direct branches of the family were actually not much different.

If this was compared to other well-established foundation-building families, he would have to spend several times more effort if he wanted to get to this point.

Fortunately, he himself was doing well and did not give up his belief in continuing to improve just because of his collateral status.

Finally, at the age of forty-eight, he seized all opportunities and successfully broke through to the foundation-building stage, truly becoming the mainstay of the family and setting an example for the Su family's branches.

When he came out of the retreat, he felt that the light outside was so strong that he could hardly open his eyes.

When he gradually got used to it, wherever he looked, there were wisps of smoke floating in the mountains.

Now, he has transformed his spiritual consciousness into divine consciousness. Even though he has just succeeded in breaking through, his strength has only increased three or four times.

However, he instinctively sensed that the smoke seemed to contain murderous intent.

"I have only been in seclusion for three to five months. Why do I feel like my family has already changed?" Su Jiaxiang couldn't help but mutter in his heart.

In fact, the picture he saw was a little different from what he remembered. If he hadn't been a monk in the foundation building stage, he might not have discovered it yet.

At this moment, he felt that the surrounding world seemed to be swarming towards him.

Before he could react, he felt like he was locked in, and his whole body couldn't move at all.

"Maybe the family encountered a big crisis when I was in seclusion." Su Jiaxiang was shocked, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead unconsciously.

When did the Su family provoke such a great master? He hadn't even shown up yet, and he was already helpless to fight back.

Just as he was trying to break free from the restraints, he only felt his whole body tightening, and his whole body was spinning.

When he opened his eyes again, he found that he had suddenly arrived at the meeting hall at the front peak from the top of the back mountain.

At this time, a dozen monks sitting around were looking at him with smiles on their faces.

Su Jiaxiang took a closer look and saw that these people were not the elders of the family who had always loved and protected him.

"Uncle Qi, you showed such a trick, Jiaxiang was so frightened that he still hasn't come back to his senses."

Of all the people, only Su Xian was the happiest.

"This third-level low-grade formation has just been successfully constructed, and it coincides with Jiaxiang's departure from seclusion, so we have to demonstrate it."

As soon as he finished speaking, a tall and tall young man appeared out of thin air next to Su Jiaxiang.

He looks even more immature than the high-spirited Su Jiaxiang.

This person was Su Mu who had just finished practicing the formation.

"Great uncle." Su Jiaxiang quickly bowed and saluted. Even though he was already a foundation-building monk, he still had to perform the junior salute due to his seniority.

What's more, he vaguely heard some information from the few words he just heard.

If the information is true, then his great-uncle, even if placed in the Qingxuan Sect, which is full of talents, his status can be equal to that of Zhenren Jindan.

"It's not easy. Jiaxiang also succeeded in building the foundation." Su Mu patted the other party's shoulder, with a look of relief in his eyes.

The Su family is really becoming more and more like a foundation-building family.

Su Jiaxiang's successful foundation indicates that the Su family is not just a direct lineage.

Therefore, the qi-training family model established by the ancestor Su Bing of the Su family, which is only divided into direct lines and collateral branches, is no longer suitable for future development.

If the Su family wants to continue to grow bigger and stronger, it must abandon this simple distinction between direct lineage and side branches.

Although over the years, under the deliberate guidance of Su Mu and Su Xian, the distinction between the direct line and the side branches has become smaller and smaller, otherwise Su Jiaxiang would not have the opportunity to build a foundation.

Not to mention, Su Jiaxiang himself is quite up to the mark. At this juncture, he has successfully established the foundation in one fell swoop.

In this case, in order to facilitate family management and greatly stimulate the enterprising spirit of the clan members, many years ago, Su Mu had proposed the idea of ​​passing it on through family generations.

In fact, as the number of people in the Su family increases, the blood relationship is destined to become more and more distant. If this continues, the family cohesion will definitely not be so strong.

After some discussion and voting, a consensus was finally reached.

Led by Su Mu, the most noble person in the family, the twenty-four characters were temporarily selected, and a generation of half a year was used to manage the family fortunes for seven hundred and twenty years.

Because ancestor Su Bing and Su Mu's five elder brothers have passed away, counting from the third generation, the twenty-four characters are:

See Jiading, where there are outstanding people and places;

Practice knowledge and reason, think carefully and discern clearly;

Wise men gather together, and there is peace and harmony.

The Su family has been passed down to the sixth generation with the name "Ding".

In fact, this kind of generational ordering has not changed much in the collateral branches, mainly in the direct line.

For example, Su Xian is of the "jian" generation, and Su Yan and the other three brothers and sisters are also of the "jian" generation. Su Xian became Su Jianxian, and Su Yan became Su Jianyan.

Of course, they can usually keep their previous names, but once they are recorded in the genealogy or family monument, they will become the ones with the given name.

Because this matter was not an impromptu decision and had been discussed in the family for some time, the clan members' acceptance was relatively high.

From then on, there was no so-called direct lineage in the Su family.

Taking advantage of Su Jiaxiang's successful foundation building, Su Mu officially recorded the twenty-four-character generation in the family tree.

Nowadays, Su Mugui is a third-level formation mage, and he is also the highest-ranking person in the Su family. This matter really cannot be done by others, and he can only come forward. After he announced the matter in public at the meeting hall, he did not want to continue to get involved in family affairs, so he directly connected with the third-order formation and moved himself back to Yuhua Courtyard.

In the past half year, his formation cultivation has jumped from the second-level high-level to the third-level master level.

Feeling that this third-level low-grade formation had the ability to move the void, Su Mu was quite satisfied.

With this formation, the Su family has truly established a firm foothold in the Southern Territory.

Next, Su Mu can gradually focus on seal carving talismans.

Over the years, Yan Ziling and the Seven-feathered Red-crowned Crane have successively cultivated many second-level spirit gourds of good quality.

Compared with the batch Su Mu bought from Calabash Pavilion, the quality of this batch of second-order spiritual gourds is much higher.

After all, the red-nosed old man did not have the help of the colorful clam beads condensed by the power of the tiger-headed clam to collect moonlight, and its quality would definitely be inferior.

"These second-level spiritual gourds are of extremely high quality. It would be a pity if they were only used to refine them into lower-level spiritual weapons. Maybe they are barely enough to be used as raw materials for high-level spiritual weapons."

Even though Su Mu coveted the power of high-grade spiritual weapons, he was not a very ambitious person, so he didn't know that he had to accumulate at least twenty-four layers of formation patterns before he could reach the category of high-grade spiritual weapons.

"Anyway, now that I finally have the power to protect myself, why not just stay in Huoxi Island and practice for a while, and improve my cultivation first."

It has to be said that during the past five years, Su Mu has been in a state of nervous tension. In addition to daily practice, he has focused almost all his attention on studying the formation.

Finally, the hard work paid off and all the hard work was not in vain.

……

Spring passes and autumn comes, and the dull life of spiritual practice is gone forever.

Different from the quiet and peaceful Yuhua Courtyard, near Huoxi Island, the low-level disciples of the Su family either go to nearby islands to explore the ancient times, or go deep into the seabed to fight sea beasts, creating a lively scene.

On this day, a sea ship came from the north, and a spirited young man stood on the bow.

He looked at Huoxi Island with an expression that was both longing and timid. He looked like a wanderer who had not returned home for a long time.

This person is none other than Su Dingchan, who has been away for more than ten years.

"Junior brother, this should be your first time back to the Su family after joining the Qingxuan Sect." A woman in palace clothes walked up from behind and looked at the nearby island with her.

"Yes. Senior Sister Mu, I heard that before you returned to Qingxuanmen, you seemed to have lived in the Southern Territory for a long time?" Su Dingchan retracted his gaze and turned his head and asked.

"Speaking of which, the Su family and I are old acquaintances. Now, twenty years have passed by so quickly, and looking back, it just feels like a dream." Mu Yueniang couldn't help but sigh.

Su Dingchan noticed that the other party didn't seem to want to talk about the past, so he pretended that he had never asked.

"By the way, senior sister. Over the years, you have followed Master to Ziyun. I heard that the practice there is more popular than ours. Is that true?"

"Since I established the foundation, Master accepted me as his disciple and took me to travel to the Ziyun Islands for several years. Over the years, we have experienced more than a dozen fights. If Master hadn't risked his life to save him several times, I would have died. It exists in the human world. To put it nicely, this is a manifestation of the strong cultivation atmosphere, but to put it harshly, if you don’t have the strength to build a foundation or above, it’s better not to go there.”

Thinking of the cultivation ecology there where the jungle was strong and the jungle was strong, Mu Yueniang really felt that it would be more peaceful to stay in Xingluo.

"Let's go back and prepare quickly. We will arrive at your Su's house soon. We still need to tidy up to avoid losing etiquette."

After finishing speaking, Mu Yueniang took the lead and walked to the living room behind the deck.

Su Dingchan didn't dare to hesitate and followed immediately.

After a while, the sea ship arrived at the dock next to Huoxi Island.

Su Xian, who had received the news before, was already waiting here with several family stewards.

"The Su family of Huoxi Island respectfully invites Qingxuan Sect Ye Zhen to pass on the immortal envoy."

As soon as they saw Ye Chunwu coming off the ship, Su Xian and others bowed and saluted.

Ye Chunwu hurriedly helped Su Xian up. The two looked like close friends who hadn't seen each other for a long time.

"Brother Su, last time we said goodbye, we haven't seen each other for more than five years." After Ye Chunwu finished speaking, he walked side by side to the island with Su Xian, saying as they walked: "We haven't seen each other for many years, and your cultivation is obviously profound. If I read it correctly, in a few years you can try to break through to the middle stage of foundation building in retreat."

Last time, the Su family was harassed by Wu Jian and his two men, and happened to encounter Ye Chunwu in retreat.

After he came out of seclusion, he was already a late-stage foundation-building monk, so he made a special trip to Huoxi Island.

However, at that time, Wu Jian and Su Mu had already been killed, so he naturally escaped in vain.

Later, Ye Chunwu received a message from the sect, asking him to go to Ziyun to take his place for a period of time. It happened that Mu Yueniang also succeeded in building the foundation, so he took her there with him to practice.

Five years passed quickly, and another true disciple took over Ye Chunwu's position, allowing him to temporarily escape from the complicated affairs.

Therefore, they went to Qingxuan Gate to pick up Su Dingchan and several other disciples, and came to the Southern Region to relax together.

Although Ye Chunwu and Su Xian have not known each other for a long time, if it were not for Su Xian's help, I am afraid that he would still be a candidate for the true successor, and he would not be able to become a master in the late stage of foundation building.

"Alas, with my meager moral skills, there is no way I can improve my cultivation." Su Xian couldn't help but sigh.

In total, it has been almost thirty years since he established the foundation, and he has yet to reach the bottleneck in the middle stage of the foundation establishment. This speed is almost equivalent to a snail's crawl.

However, he has not had much daydream all along. If he can practice to the middle stage of foundation building, he will be satisfied, so he is not too disappointed.

"Brother Su, to tell you the truth, I have the same mid-level single spirit root qualification as you. When I was your age, it would take more than ten years for me to advance to the middle stage of foundation building. As old as me, Even if you don’t want to give up, you can’t give up no matter what.”

The two of them walked and chatted, like old friends they hadn't seen for many years, and suddenly reached the core of Huoxi Island.

At this time, Ye Chunwu vaguely noticed that Huoxi Island was different from before, but he checked it repeatedly, but he couldn't tell where it was.

Su Dingchan, who was walking behind them, looked around, seemingly looking for something.

"Master, head of the family, I want to visit my great-uncle." Finally, he mustered up the courage to speak out his thoughts boldly.

Su Dingchan is no longer the ignorant child he was back then. He understands that he has the opportunity to enter the inner sect of Qingxuan Sect only because of this ancestor.

At that time, he was young and ignorant and could not go to express his gratitude in person. Now that he had finally returned to Huoxi Island, he couldn't miss this opportunity.

God knows, after he goes back this time, he may have to build a foundation before he can return to the Su family again.
