Advance the future and become a martial saint on earth!

Chapter 160: The blood of a human immortal, the secrets of a wealthy family, and returning to one's roots? It's worth a fortune to buy a horse's bones!
Beicanghou Mansion, main hall.

The courtyard was tall and wide, with carved beams and pillars supporting the dome. In front of the screen and desk, besides Xiao Mingli who was in a wheelchair, there was another woman sitting.

The woman was wearing a scarlet dress, the collar and sleeves of which were all embroidered with red gold thread, which was extremely luxurious.

The red jade bracelet on her wrist shone faintly, and it swayed as she flicked her sleeves:

"Sister Xiao, Zhinan has heard about your accident since then, but you live in Jiangyin Prefecture in the far east, and the mountains are high and the roads are long, so I have never had the time to visit you."

"I just happened to be passing by with my elders this time, so I thought of coming to check on you."

Xie Zhinan's eyes turned and looked at Xiao Mingli, who was silent and had a cold look in her eyes. Regret appeared in her beautiful eyes:
"I still remember the first time I met Sister Xiao, and how graceful you were when you followed our mother to the Yuhuan Xie Clan."

"At that time, you learned spear from your father, cultivated the spear spirit of the masters, and were included in the 'Tianchi' sect, one of the ten great pillars of heaven, and learned the secret sword art, with outstanding style."

"In the entire Xie family, the only one who can be compared to you at this age is your elder brother Xie Wen, who has awakened his ancestral blood."

"Brother Xie Wen asked me to say hello to you. If you are willing, the Xie family can..."

Xie Zhinan looked at Xiao Mingli's legs, paused, and clapped his hands.

Following behind her, several maids in cloud-clothed clothes holding brocade boxes in their hands immediately understood and opened the boxes in their hands. Suddenly, the whole hall was filled with a strong sense of inspiration.

"This is Brother Xie Wen, and it was specially prepared for you, Sister Xiao."

"It's just a piece of 'Cold Jade Coral', a treasure from the earth, and some cold jade essence. It's not worth mentioning, but for Sister Xiao, it can relieve her daily pain. Please accept it."

"There are countless things like this in the house."

"But Lord Xiao has been running around for several years to treat Sister Xiao's injury. In order to keep himself alive, he has already spent all his family's wealth. I guess it must be difficult for him to come up with some good stuff."

"Before coming here, the Third Elder had specifically asked if Sister Xiao was willing to 'recognize her ancestry' and change her surname to Xie, and then bring the Marquis to visit the Yuhuan Xie Clan."

"He can come forward as a guarantor and invite a national master to use the treasured natural materials in his family as a foundation to wash away the lead for you and embark on the path of cultivation again!"

"The Third Elder is the pillar of your mother's lineage. What he says is golden, and there will be no mistakes."

Xie Zhinan spoke sincerely, as if he was really thinking about this cousin who was only slightly related by blood but was separated by many generations.

Hearing this, Xiao Mingli's eyes rippled with disgust.

These wealthy people in fancy clothes all look down on others. They think they are being friendly, but in the eyes of others, they are no different from being looked down upon.

Sister Xiao, oh, you call me so affectionately.

If you don't know, you would really think that you have a very close relationship with this 'Yuhuan Xie Family'.

But in fact, her mother was just a daughter of a branch family. Although she was a member of a wealthy family, she was just a grain of sand in such a huge family.

When she valued her father, he was just a poor boy. It was her mother who refused the arranged marriage, was removed from the family tree, and left with a resolute attitude, which led to the birth of her.

Although Xiao Mingli was not born at that time, he had heard something about it.

The few times that Xie Yuhuan inadvertently fiddled with her fingers were the greatest ordeal her father had ever experienced in his life.

later.

Her mother had a keen eye for talent. The poor boy traveled across the vast ocean, experienced life and death situations, and finally reached Xuanjing, where he was granted a title of nobility for his merits.

He himself gained fame at a young age and was admitted into the Tianchi sect, one of the ten great celestial pillars, and was no less than the sons of wealthy families.

At this time, Xie came with an arrogant and charitable attitude and hypocritical manner.

But my father naturally didn't want to.

However, considering her own future, she asked her mother to take her to the ancestral land of the Xie family, hoping to inherit the human immortal blood of the Yuhuan Xie family.

During the Daxuan Dynasty, the top forces were only the ten pillars of heaven and the nine great families, which totaled nineteen.

But as majestic as the Ten Pillars of Heaven, it has produced many talented people, and each generation has achieved martial arts accomplishments, and there is an endless stream of people who have mastered the top levels of martial arts.

But even so, there will be a time for change and fall.

But why have the nine great families, which are based on bloodline and family tradition and are much inferior to the Pillars of Heaven, remained standing forever?
It is because, among their ancestors, there was once a "human immortal"!
Immortal.

This title is the lifelong pursuit of warriors all over the world.

The higher and farther one goes, the more he desires for the Martial Saint who has attained the levels of Strength, Qi, and even Will!

Throughout the Great Xuan Dynasty, there were only a handful of human immortals born.

According to legend, only by becoming a human immortal can one break through the 'gate of boundaries', use the body as a raft, the spirit as a beacon, follow the ancient road of the gate of boundaries, reach other 'universes' and pursue higher possibilities!

The blood of human immortals naturally has magical powers.

Back then, when the Great Xuan Zun used his iron fists to sweep away the devastated Great Xuan universe that was filled with heterodox sects, it was with the help of the first ancestors of the nine dukes who were as bright as the sun that he was able to pacify the four barbarians and establish the Great Xuan!

As time goes by, the once glorious history has long since turned over.

But this hereditary nobility has been passed down from generation to generation. If one can go to the ancestral land and awaken the ancestral blood, it is said that one will have stepped half a foot into the threshold of the "title".

That was the first time her father compromised.

But what he got in return was that Xiao Mingli was asked to marry the eldest son of the clan. That eldest son was the true pride of the Xie family. He was now listed in the Young Dragon Monument and was the true descendant of the Pillar of Heaven.

His name was Xie Wen.

But Xiao Mingli ignored the Xie family at all. On Yuhuan Mountain, he severely humiliated the Xie family, defeated the younger generation, and then strode away.

Before leaving, he also engraved a stele, saying————

[If I were the same age as Xie Wen, I would go up to the 'Bai Yu Jing' to carve words and be nominated on the 'Young Dragon Monument'. If he can do it, I can do it too!]

Since.

She did not rely on the Xie family. Although she was born in a marquis's mansion, she relied on herself to be promoted from a disciple of Tianzhu to a branch, a main hall, and finally a true disciple!

Afterwards, he took part in the battle of the foreign paths in the construction of the boundary gate at the foot of the 'Tianchi', where he fell ill and had to withdraw from the battle sadly.

Six years have passed since then.

As for Xie Zhinan, she was just a little girl who was casually cast aside by her. She was not a remarkable girl among the descendants of several ancestors of Yuhuan Xie family.

She didn't even care about Xie Wen, let alone her.

Xiao Mingli's eyes showed a hint of mockery:
"Recognize your ancestors and return to your clan?"

"Xie Zhinan."

The woman's amber eyes revealed a hint of contempt:
"My last name is Xiao. The 'Xiao' in Xiao Pingnan, the Marquis of Beicang, is not the 'Xie' in Xie Clan of Yuhuan."

"So where do the ancestors and clans come from?"

Xie Zhinan's expression gradually changed.

She seemed to have not expected the six whole years of hardship.

None of this made the red-dressed woman, who once loved bright red clothes but now only wore plain and dark clothes, and who had once shown off her elegance in her ancestral land and left a deep impression on her and the entire young generation of the Xie family, feel disappointed.

Now that his legs are broken and his practice has been put on hold for six years, he can still be as courageous as he was back then.

But she couldn't figure it out either.

That's a natural talent!

It is of great benefit to the Martial Saint!
Generally speaking, except for the descendants of the Heavenly Pillar, or the sons of the giants, who else would be willing to take out such things to save people, or even invite a "national expert"! ?

If this medicine is used, the six years of suffering will be nothing. Xiao Mingli can regain her former self in a few minutes, and the price is...
It's just a matter of 'returning to one's roots'!
Yuhuan Xie family!

What is that concept?
The most powerful and noble people in the world, even if you are the daughter of a marquis, are nothing but a speck of dust in front of such a family background.

Even in Xuanjing, in front of the contemporary descendants of the phoenix and the dragon, the heir of the prince
The identities of the nine great families are enough to be considered top-notch!
Is it shameful to be a daughter of the Xie family?
If it weren't for Brother Xie Wen who said that Xiao Mingli was extremely talented, it would be a pity for her to die like this. After all, she was the bloodline of the Xie family, so he asked the ancestor to collect "natural materials" from the ancestral land to treat her.

How could she stand up again and start practicing again!

"Xiao Mingli never inherited the 'human immortal blood' of your Xie family, so he never owed the Xie family anything."

"If that's why you came here"

"No reward for no merit."

"Take your stuff away."

The family home that he had always been proud of was now treated with disdain.

Therefore, Xie Zhinan, whose pain point was touched, finally couldn't hold it back anymore and anger appeared on his face.

She first waved her hand, asking the maid behind her to close the box to hide the brilliance of the earth treasure and chalcedony, and then she stood up:

"it is good!"

"Sister Xiao, you keep saying that you don't owe the Xie family anything, so let me ask you."

"Just as I was driving the sedan chair over here, I suddenly saw a 'fairy robe vision' condensing in the sky above your mansion. It was exactly the 'rainbow-colored dress'. It is the direct descendant of my Xie family!" "Let me ask you, in your mansion, or in the entire Jiangyin Prefecture, besides you, who else can practice the Xie family's fairy robe method?"

Xie Zhinan looked aggressive:

“Although my Xie family often passes on the Secret Scroll of Power Pass to servants and domestic slaves, the number of people who pass on the Scroll of Immortal Clothes is very small.”

"Those who can cultivate the Colorful Skirt Scroll, or even condense the Dao-grade Treasure Robe, will definitely go through many tests in the future, be accepted as outsiders, and pass down the complete 'Feathered Immortal Robe'!"

"You are only qualified to practice this because of your mother."

"But that doesn't mean you can hand over the magic to others, or even train your own descendants!"

Xie Zhinan raised his neck, his eyes showing pride:

"You know, I came to Jiangyin Mansion this time to accompany an elder."

"If she knew that you were teaching the Immortal Robe Technique privately and reported it to Yu Huan to make trouble, even Lord Beicang would have to give an explanation to Xie, right?"

Hearing these blatant words of coercion, Xiao Mingli opened his mouth and was about to deny it.

But thinking of Ji Xiu's 'unknown origin' feathered fairy clothes, her long eyelashes flickered, and after a moment of hesitation, she could not help but glance at Xie Zhinan:

"I was the one who sent it, so what?"

"Using the Xie family's rules to pressure me."

"Call your elder first."

Xiao Mingli snorted lightly and didn't take it seriously, which made Xie Zhinan so angry that his chest was burning with anger and he gritted his teeth.

When you are young, the last thing you want to do is to see someone who is more stunning than yourself.

Especially when one is reduced to a 'background board', no matter how noble one's status is, one will feel resentful about it for the rest of his life.

This is what happened when Xie Zhinan met Xiao Mingli.

Just as she was about to speak and say a few more words.
"Ji Xiu, meet the princess."

"I was lucky yesterday. I caught a fifth-grade glass trout at the dock. It's just enough for the princess to recuperate."

"I have also seen some of the brilliance of those earth treasures and chalcedony just now, but their quality varies. If I use them, I am afraid it will harm the body of the princess."

"It would be better to just use my glass trout instead of using these 'defective products'."

Defective product! ?

Xie Zhinan, who hadn't spoken yet, felt a lump in his throat. Hearing these sudden words, he almost got so angry that his forehead turned red.

The treasured items in the private vaults of the wealthy families were so good that no one in the world had ever mentioned the word "second-rate".

Okay, okay, she wants to see who is the daring guy.
Xie Zhinan gritted his teeth, and when he turned around, he saw the young man who came to the door, led by Li Xuanyi, and was looking at him with a pair of admiring eyes. He was immediately choked.

The man was tall and slender, carrying an ancient and mysterious knife plaque on his back and a blood-stained glazed dragon pendant hanging around his waist. Even though he was dressed simply, he looked extraordinary because of these decorations.

What’s more important is————

This man looked very young, and his blood and energy were still in his body. He was covered with a thin layer of fairy clothes that looked like a rainbow dress. The afterglow of the early morning glow shone on him, so dazzling that it was impossible to look directly at him!

Even if there are no flowers and brocade, just standing here, the young man seems to be priceless!

But Xie Zhinan was used to seeing stunning and elegant people, so these things did not cause her to lose control of her expression. The reason she was angry was that
“You kid, you practiced the law of my Xie family and helped this woman speak, right?”

"You know, the skills she taught you were all stolen!"

Xie Zhinan was so angry that his chest trembled slightly:
"Following Xiao Mingli in this small city in a remote corner, even if you have almost completed the power barrier, what future can you achieve? Can she give you the road to heaven?!"

"Boy, do you know that the method you inherited is a secret method of a wealthy family? It is a serious crime to practice it privately without permission!"

"What's more, even Xiao Mingli wouldn't dare to pass on the complete 'Feathered Immortal Clothes' to you. You've already come this far. Can you resist breaking the 'limit' and becoming a 'treasure body'?!"

"She can't give you these, but my family, Yuhuan Xie, one of the nine great families, can give them to you!"

"I have just seen the vision you accomplished. If you are willing, you can go with me afterwards. I will give you a bright future."

"Every citizen of the prefecture should have heard of the Nine Great Houses. What do they represent?"

"You know it in your heart!"

"So young man, don't make the mistake of boarding a sinking ship!"

Xie Zhinan looked Ji Xiu up and down with a warning look in his eyes.

Ji Xiu turned his gaze towards this noble lady, thinking to himself:

"The one with the strange carriage parked in the courtyard of the Marquis's Mansion must be her."

"Every one of those exotic horses is as good as my 'Green Horn Spiritual Deer'. They are really luxurious and far beyond the imagination of those young men in the mansion."

"Li Xuanyi said, is this the daughter of a branch of the 'Nine Great Families'?"

I originally thought that these wealthy and powerful people in the world should all be elegant and noble.

But looking at Xie Zhinan, who was provoked and broken by Xiao Mingli's few words, Ji Xiu had only one thought.

It turns out that these people are just like this.

How would it feel if you could step on them all?
Listening to the woman's words, which were full of condescension, Ji Xiu frowned slightly.

He walked from Anning County to Jiangyin Prefecture, and rose from a groom to his current position, all for the sake of not bowing down to others.

Some people may think it is a blessing for him to refuse to take the promising road of freedom and instead rush to become someone else's slave, but for him, it is not something that he is interested in at all.

Therefore, Ji Xiu ignored Xie Zhinan, and with a smile, he put the Glazed Trout into the long jade box prepared by Li Xuanyi and brought it to Xiao Mingli.

And see his actions.

Xiao Mingli, whose eyebrows were originally cold like winter snow, suddenly smiled. Because of her makeup today, she looked very beautiful:
"Thank you."

Looking at the woman in a black dress, with beautiful red lips and willow-leaf eyebrows with a smile on her face.

Ji Xiu raised his eyebrows and was distracted for a moment:

"This lady is very well dressed and looks really good."

And he is a nice guy who even takes the blame for himself.

Ji Xiu, who had just followed Li Xuanyi and listened to what he said in the corner for a long time, muttered to himself.

Thinking of this, he turned his head and looked at Xie Zhinan:

"Xie Xiao, the method I practice is something I acquired by chance. It has nothing to do with Xiao Shi Nu."

Ji Xiu spoke in a serious tone, stating the facts in a straightforward manner.

Return a favor. Since the pot is his, Xiao Mingli cannot bear it alone.

What's more, I supported her and gave this rich girl face. How could she ignore me?

If I could get the attention of that marquis,
If I could take this further as a retainer and become something like the 'nephew' of Marquis Beicang, and be on equal terms with Xiao Mingli, wouldn't that be better than serving someone else like that?

Ji Xiu still knows how to do the accounting!
His actions almost made Xie Zhinan bite his teeth.

This pair of dogs looks really good together!

This is clearly the boy that Xiao Mingli raised in Jiangyin Prefecture because she thought he had no future!
They actually colluded with each other and flatly denied the origin of their own skills! ?

For a moment, Xie Zhinan's eyes were filled with coldness:

"Boy, the skills are undoubtedly from my Xie family. No matter where you got them from, they are not clean."

"My elder Xie family is now in Jiangyin Prefecture. You are not even a Qiguan. When you see her, you will know it at a glance!"

"Even if it's Xiao Mingli, he can't protect you from that person."

She hadn't finished her words.

Suddenly————

"Zhi Nan, please step down."

A familiar cold female voice lingered around.

Xie Zhinan's eyes widened suddenly, and he shook his head violently, looking towards the threshold in disbelief.

When she saw a tall woman coming to her door
It was exactly the elder in her family!
And the words she spoke shattered Xie Zhinan's three views:
"That method was taught to him by me."

"Xiao Mingli can't protect him, but I, your aunt, can at least protect him, right?"
