Building a long-lasting family lineage starting with genealogy

Chapter 35 The Xu Family Legacy (Seeking Further Reading)

Bai Jing watched Xu Chuan and his son leave and muttered, "Those two are so secretive."

Turning her head, she stroked Yang Ronghua's lower abdomen, smiling broadly: "Never mind them, my eldest grandson is the most important thing."

Yang Ronghua smiled sheepishly: "Mother, it's still early."

"Not too early, not too early!" Bai Jing counted on her fingers. "Eight months of pregnancy will be over in the blink of an eye. We must have the servants prepare some swaddling clothes quickly."

“Yesterday I saw that piece of brocade in the storeroom. It was light green with lotus embroidery. It would be perfect to make a swaddle for my grandson.”

Yang Ronghua was somewhat amused and exasperated, but a look of affection appeared on his face as he gently patted his belly and sighed, "I only hope that he can be as heroic as his father."

“What’s the point of being brave?” Bai Jing shook her head and laughed. “That Stone was unruly when he was young, but now his father has disciplined him into being as dull as a stone. It would be better if he were more cheerful.”

Yang Ronghua's eyes sparkled: "Mother, would you like to tell me some interesting stories about my husband's childhood?"

"Alright, alright, I'll tell you everything."

The study was filled with the fragrance of sandalwood, its smoke curling and wafting through the window lattices.

Xu Chuan stared intently at Xu Mingwei, "Stone, what does it feel like to break through to the Innate Realm?"

Xu Mingwei smiled and said, "It's wonderful. In an instant, my mind became clear and my heart was as still as water. I could feel the spiritual energy of heaven and earth surrounding me. When I drew the energy into my body, a warm current flowed through my limbs and bones, making me feel extremely comfortable."

Xu Chuan nodded and smiled.

"By the way, Father, our family has also collected two innate martial arts manuals. The Black Tiger Manual can reach the peak of the innate realm, and the Heavenly Dragon Manual can reach the early stage of the Grandmaster realm. Which one should I choose?"

"I will not choose either," Xu Chuan said calmly while sipping his tea. "Martial arts are a transitional path; cultivating immortality is the true path."

“Cultivating immortality?” Xu Mingwei smiled bitterly. “I am nearly twenty years old. Even if I have spiritual roots, I am afraid it is too late.”

"Whether you brothers have the aptitude for cultivation or not, I know in my heart." Xu Chuan's eyes gleamed, and he smiled faintly. "Among you brothers, only Yun Nu possesses all five elements and can enter the path of immortality."

"Can Yun Nu cultivate immortality?"

"Then why doesn't Father try to help Yun Nu embark on the path of immortality? As long as Yun Nu becomes an immortal cultivator, our whole family will benefit greatly."

"Do you think cultivating immortality is so simple? With the current wealth of the Xu family, how can they afford to support cultivators?"

"It's better to take things one step at a time and wait for the right opportunity."

"opportunity?"

Xu Mingwei looked puzzled and pondered for a moment.

"You don't need to worry about this for now. As for the Xu family, I plan for all of you brothers to follow the path of martial arts to achieve enlightenment."

"Entering the Dao through martial arts?" Xu Mingwei was taken aback. "I have never heard of such a thing."

"This is the Xu family's biggest secret. Come with me to the ancestral hall. It's time to tell you some secrets."

The ancestral hall is an important place for the Xu family.

It is guarded at all times.

After Xu Chuan entered, he opened a hidden door and entered a dark room.

There is a bookshelf here, with a few books scattered on it, all of which are martial arts classics collected by the Xu family.

Within the dark room, there was also a hidden chamber.

Xu Chuan took out a cultivation manual from inside and handed it to Xu Mingwei.

"Take a look, there's not much content, just memorize it."

"The Primordial Five Elements Creation Technique?"

Xu Mingwei began to look through it.

The first thing that catches the eye is the general outline.

The Five Elements revolve to create creation, and the Primordial Qi permeates the primordial chaos.

By uniting form and spirit to comprehend the profound mysteries, one returns to one's original nature and attains immortality.

"The liver, as the wood palace, stores the essence of spring; the heart, as the fire palace, contains the spirit of summer; the spleen, as the earth pivot, governs the four seasons; the lungs, as the golden palace, gather the solemnity of autumn; and the kidneys, as the water abyss, receive the essence of winter."

When the Five Qi converge, five-colored halos of light—blue, red, yellow, white, and black—can be seen appearing on the five internal organs, ultimately returning to the dantian and merging into a primordial chaos.

"How profound!"

"Incredible!"

"Father, this must be a true divine technique!"

Xu Mingwei was deeply shocked, and a storm of emotions surged within him.

Then continue reading; there are breathing techniques, incantations for sensing, and key points for practicing Qi.

The ultimate result of this technique is to transform acquired energy into innate energy, converting all innate true energy into the magical power of a cultivator.

The five elements of spiritual roots are replenished and then purified to ultimately achieve the quality of true spiritual roots.

"This cultivation technique is profound and requires the Innate Realm to cultivate." "From the beginning of the Three Generations, only geniuses can cultivate this technique."

"This oath must not be spoken to those who are not in the know, including close relatives such as brothers, sisters, parents, and children. It must be passed down from generation to generation!"

Xu Mingwei's expression was solemn as he said in a deep voice, "Your son will remember this!"

"Upon mastering this technique, one can directly switch to the path of immortality and become a cultivator at the fifth level of Qi Refining, or even break through to the sixth level of Qi Refining very quickly."

Xu Chuan changed the subject and said with a faint smile, "Of course, this path only applies to the current Xu family. Once the family truly grows strong and becomes a cultivation family..."

Those in the clan with the necessary talent can embark on the path of immortality from a young age, while those lacking talent must enter the path through martial arts.

Xu Mingwei nodded, indicating that he understood.

"After you have memorized this, you can leave the ancestral hall. In a few days, I will announce that you will be in charge of the Xu family's affairs temporarily, as a transition for your future succession as the head of the Xu family."

"And what about you, Father?"

"I'm going to stay at Bihan Pool for a while to focus on breaking through to the Innate Realm."

"I understand, Father. I will not disturb you with family matters."

Xu Chuan patted him on the shoulder, then turned and left the darkroom.

Back in his study, as he silently recited the family tree, it seemed to emerge from his body and appear vividly before his eyes.

Xu Mingwei: The Second Generation of the Xu Family

[Age: Nineteen]

[Spiritual Root: Incomplete in the Five Elements, lacking aptitude for cultivation]

[Talents: Superhuman strength, Eagle Eye]

Bloodline: None

[Realm: Early Stage of Innate Martial Artist]

"The Xu family is currently enjoying great fortune, like oil being poured on a raging fire. With three generations of descendants about to be born, they will surely produce even more and stronger destiny talents."

Xu Chuan's eyes were filled with anticipation.

Two hours later, Xu Mingwei left the ancestral hall, went back to spend some time with Yang Ronghua, and then began to cultivate the "Innate Five Elements Creation Technique".

Xu Mingshu and Xu Mingxian also went to visit Yang Ronghua.

"Sister-in-law, I heard you're pregnant as soon as I got back. Am I going to be an aunt?"

Yang Ronghua smiled slightly.

"Yes, that's why you need to be more composed."

Bai Jing smiled and then turned her gaze to Xu Mingxian, "Yunnu, you're going to be an uncle, are you happy?"

Xu Mingxian nodded, then said something that made Bai Jing both laugh and cry.

"I'm finally not the youngest in the family anymore."

a few days later.

Xu Mingyuan rushed back from out of town, covered in dust.

Upon hearing the news, they were equally excited and rushed to visit Mr. and Mrs. Xu Mingwei.

"Brother, I also have some good news to share with you this time I'm back."

Xu Mingwei and his wife, as well as Xu Mingxuan and the others, also looked over curiously.

"Oh, tell me."

"The Innate Dragon and Elephant Manual".

Xu Mingyuan chuckled and said, "It will take at least one year and at most two years for you to achieve the Innate Realm. The Innate Dragon Elephant Technique is a follow-up technique to the Lesser Dragon Elephant Skill. It can be cultivated to the Grandmaster level and is the most suitable Innate Martial Art for you."

Xu Mingwei did not tell anyone about his breakthrough to the Innate Realm.

This is our trump card; the fewer people who know it, the better.

As for the "Innate Dragon Elephant Technique," Xu Mingwei sighed inwardly, regretting that he would never be able to use it.

However, keeping it at home and practicing the martial arts techniques within it is also quite good.

"You got it?"

"Not yet, but there's already news."

Xu Mingyuan sipped his tea and spoke eloquently: "A wealthy merchant from this county knew that I was inquiring about this matter. He returned from the neighboring Liuyun County yesterday and came to talk to me. He mentioned that a middle-aged martial artist was interested in selling the 'Innate Dragon Elephant Technique'."
