Building a long-lasting family lineage starting with genealogy

Chapter 402 Choosing a Daoist Partner (Bonus Chapter, Requesting Monthly Tickets!)

"Thank you, Ancestor. Your grandson has benefited greatly."

Xu Chuan nodded slightly, and then let Xu Jingwu figure it out on his own.

All he can offer are ideas; whether they can be researched and successfully implemented depends on Xu Jingwu himself.

By the way.

Within the past six months.

Deep underground in Dongxi.

It also established a mid-grade third-tier teleportation array.

The main purpose is to facilitate communication with the "Forest of Qinghai" and to relocate the Dongxi people should an unforeseen calamity occur.

This serves as a safety net for Xu Chuan.

Xu Jingwu went to Xu Mingshu to ask for Xu Bai and the others' blood essence for research.

Xu Mingshu went through the teleportation array and took three drops from each of Xu Bai, Xu Ying, and Xu Hei, so as not to harm them.

Apart from that.

Xu Deling and Xu Deyue each contributed three drops.

In addition, Xu Jingwu also collected some of the essence and blood of ordinary clansmen and mortals.

His importance to the Xu family is self-evident, so everyone in the Xu family will open the door to convenience for him unconditionally.

After obtaining these.

Xu Jingwu then conducted his research in a bamboo building in Bihantan.

Several days after he went into seclusion.

Mei Yun has finally emerged from seclusion.

He finally achieved some success in cultivating the secret techniques in the "Nine Heavens Guiding Qi Tribulation Dao Chapter," and was able to control his involuntary absorption of the surrounding fortune.

"Master." Mei Yun stood in front of Xu Chuan with a happy expression.

"Looks like you succeeded?"

"Yes, Master."

What are your plans next?

"This disciple wishes to travel and explore the world; is that permissible?"

Mei Yun looked at Xu Chuan cautiously.

Xu Chuan had calculated that the great calamity was unlikely to erupt within a month.

"Yes, but only for a month. Moreover, since you no longer have any health problems, I plan to choose a Daoist partner for you."

You travel with them, and upon your return, if you find it suitable, then you may formally become Daoist partners.

Mei Yun was surprised, but he had promised Xu Chuan and couldn't go back on his word.

Fortunately, Xu Chuan did not force anyone on him.

Therefore, he could accept it, and so he cupped his hands and said, "I will follow Master's arrangements."

Xu Chuan nodded slightly, "Let me change your appearance first."

After saying that, he raised his hand and a beam of green light shot out from his fingertips and entered Mei Yun's body.

His body trembled, and he immediately felt his body filled with vitality.

The next moment, he went from being middle-aged to looking like he was in his early twenties.

"This is a youth-preserving pill. Swallow it, and you can maintain this appearance." Xu Chuan flicked his sleeve, and a pill flew out.

Mei Yun conjured a water mirror and looked at her reflection. She found it incredibly amazing and murmured, "No wonder Master has always maintained this appearance."

The supernatural powers he cultivates are truly remarkable!

"Stop joking and swallow it quickly. I've already had someone bring her here."

"Yes, Master."

Mei Yun immediately did as instructed.

After half a cup of tea.

The barrier outside the Azure Cold Pool trembled slightly, and two figures, one after the other, slowly approached through the misty spiritual energy.

Xu Deheng was the one in the lead, his expression solemn.

Half a step behind him was a graceful young woman.

The woman was about twenty years old, with a slender figure. She wore a light blue long dress with flowing cloud patterns and wide sleeves, with a matching silk sash tied around her waist, from which hung a warm and translucent ring-shaped jade pendant.

She wore a plain white gauze half-sleeved top over it, which added a touch of elegance.

Her hair was as black as ink, styled in a neat, flowing bun, secured only by a finely carved jade hairpin. A few strands of hair fell beside her ears, making her skin appear even whiter than snow.

Upon closer inspection, her features bear a striking resemblance to Xu Deyue's, especially her almond-shaped eyes, which are clear, bright, and possess a natural elegance.

However, their temperaments are completely different.

Xu Deyue was as aloof as a fairy in the moon palace, while this woman was as gentle as water, much like her great-grandmother Zhang Wanqing.

This woman is one of Xu Deheng's direct granddaughters, named Xu Wenxi, who is twenty-one years old and possesses the aptitude of a spirit root.

Among the five generations of the Xu family, there are four or five people with the talent of earth spirit root.

Although she did not possess Xu Mingxuan's talent for "seeking advantage and avoiding harm," she had displayed a rare and keen spiritual perception since childhood through her cultivation practice.

Not long ago, he successfully broke through to the second level of the Foundation Establishment stage.

At this moment, as she followed her grandfather into the core of the family's Azure Pool, she couldn't help but feel a mix of trepidation and curiosity.

After all, this was her first time here.

His gaze swept over the strange, withered tree, finally settling on the composed figure in blue beneath it. He quickly lowered his eyes and stood respectfully.

Xu Deheng stepped forward and bowed, saying, "Grandfather, Wenxi has been brought."

Xu Wenxi also bowed deeply, his voice clear and melodious, like a stream hitting a stone: "Wenxi greets the Ancestor."

Xu Chuan's gaze fell on Xu Wenxi, and he looked her over briefly, a hint of satisfaction flashing in his eyes.

This is one of the most suitable candidates for Mei Yun, whom he carefully selected.

He himself was of average appearance, and Bai Jing could only be described as pretty.

But through generations of selection, the best have been chosen.

The Xu family now consists mostly of handsome men and stunning women, with almost no ordinary or vulgar women.

Moreover, cultivating immortality inherently enhances one's temperament.

He nodded and said gently, "No need for formalities, please get up."

Xu Wenxi rose as instructed, still standing respectfully with his head bowed.

"This is my disciple Mei Yun. He has just emerged from seclusion and plans to travel in a couple of days. Wenxi, you will accompany him."

Xu Wenxi suddenly looked up and then looked at the young man standing next to Xu Chuan.

Xu Deheng seemed to be deep in thought, wondering to himself, "Is Grandfather trying to arrange a marriage between Xi'er and Mei Yun?"

Thinking of this, he began to scrutinize his future grandson-in-law.

Almost everything Xu Chuan asked for was accepted.

"I can't detect his cultivation level. Could he be a Golden Core cultivator? But he looks quite young. I'll find some time to ask my father about this Mei Yun."

As the patriarch of the Xu family, if Xu Chuan speaks up, not only would she, a junior, not even his great-grandfather Xu Mingxuan would refuse.

"Granddaughter understands."

Xu Chuan nodded slightly and said to Mei Yun, "For the next month, I entrust my granddaughter's safety to you. If she loses even a single hair, don't blame me for punishing you when she returns."

"Is it the disciple's fault that it fell off naturally?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Deheng's eyes widened, while Xu Wenxi was immediately amused, and at the same time marveled at the man's audacity.

"Get lost!" Xu Chuan said with a laugh.

"Yes, Master."

“Deheng, you should leave too. Let Wenxi take Meiyun to explore Dongxi properly. He hasn’t had a chance to see Dongxi properly before because of his own condition.”

Xu Deheng nodded and smiled at Xu Wenxi, saying, "Xi'er, did you hear me clearly? During this time, you will accompany Mei Yun to stroll around Dongxi."

Three days later, I will leave Dongxi to travel around.

"Yes, grandfather."

The group took their leave.

After leaving Bihan Pool, Xu Deheng went to find his father, Xu Mingxuan, to inquire about Mei Yun.

"Why are you asking about Mei Yun?" Xu Mingxuan asked his son in surprise.

"Grandfather seems to intend for Wenxi and Meiyun to become Daoist partners. He looks to be in his early twenties. I wonder if Father knows anything about him?"

"So that's how it is." Xu Mingxuan said, "Wenxi, that girl, has a natural talent for earth spirit roots... wait, she's in her early twenties, are you sure that person's name is Mei Yun?"

"Introduced by my grandfather."

“It seems that Father helped him rejuvenate.” Xu Mingxuan murmured, then looked up at Xu Deheng. “He looked to be in his sixties or seventies before, but I don’t know for sure.”

As for their cultivation levels, they both achieved the Golden Core stage on the same day as their father.

"A Golden Core cultivator in his sixties or seventies, truly a gifted individual."

"How could the disciple your grandfather took in be simple? He was valued not because of his talent for cultivation, but perhaps because of his special physique."

As for his constitution, I don't know either." After a pause, Xu Mingxuan added, "However, since he was accepted as a disciple by your grandfather, his character must be at least not bad."

Wenxi marrying him wasn't a bad thing.

Moreover, if someone truly possesses a special constitution, they can also integrate special bloodlines into my three meridians.

Look at the child born to Deyue and Yefan, he is an outstanding individual even in the entire Xu family, surpassing even Chongjian.

The eldest brother's lineage has always produced many geniuses, and the lineage has never been broken. The second brother now has Chong Jian to support him, and the fifth brother has the junior Chong Fei.

The sixth brother's children are all too young, so we won't consider them for now.

Therefore, all things considered, our lineage is the most mediocre.

Upon hearing this, Xu Deheng could only manage a wry smile.

Indeed, none of his descendants were particularly outstanding.

With ordinary spiritual root aptitude, he would definitely be a genius that other families would focus on cultivating.

But in front of the Xu family, Xu Chongjian, Xu Chongfei, and Xu Wenjing, they were no match at all.

“Now, it’s time for our three lineages to rise.” Xu Mingxuan’s lips curled up slightly. “I knew Father was the best at maintaining balance.”

Xu Deheng twitched the corner of his mouth, thinking to himself: You're my father, you're in charge!
"Go ask Deyue about her constitution and see if she knows anything about it."

"Yes, Father."

The next day.

Xu Deheng did indeed go and ask.

However, Xu Deyue was also unaware of this, only telling him that Mei Yun had a special constitution, which even Xu Chuan was unclear about, guessing that it was related to luck.

After returning home, Xu Deheng told Xu Mingxuan about the matter.

Xu Mingxuan clapped his hands and laughed, "Luck?! No wonder Father chose my lineage. It's only right that it belongs to my third lineage, hahaha!"

"Father, what do you mean by that?"

"You don't need to know too much. Alright, go back and cultivate."

"Then I shall take my leave."

Only a handful of people knew that Xu Chuan could bestow talent upon others.

Xu Deheng is already considered a core member of the Xu family, but only because he was born early and is considered one of the more talented people among the third generation, if he were to become the fourth or fifth generation of the Xu family.

They'll just fade into obscurity.

These past few days.

Mei Yun and Xu Wenxi explored every corner of Dongxi.

Xu Wenxi is gentle and mild-mannered, but she is resilient at heart. Mei Yun seems unreliable and humorous, but she also has her own bottom line.

One likes to listen, and the other likes to talk; in some ways, they are a match made in heaven.

Three days later.

The two left Dongxi and traveled to various places.

the other side.

Zhao Qiyang's return to the main branch of the Zhao family in Daliang after achieving the Golden Core stage caused a huge sensation and was soon known to the Cao, Sima, and Liu families in the imperial city of Daliang.

but.

The Liang royal family and the Zhao family have already broken off relations, so it's impossible for them to invite the Zhao family again.

The Zhao family would never agree to that.

After all, if it weren't for Xu Mingwei's appearance during the relocation, the Zhao family would probably be almost completely wiped out by now.

With the addition of a Golden Core Elder to the main branch of the Zhao family, the entire Zhao family's prestige has greatly increased.

However, they faced a great calamity.

The Zhao family adopted the same strategy as the Xu family: sealing off the mountain gates and preparing for battle.

Unfortunately, the Zhao family's grand formation was only at the peak of the second tier.

period.

Xu Mingxian went to the capital of the Great Wei Dynasty and helped the Jiang, Lei, and Lin families seize the palace and control the core of the formation.

They even improved the formation, so that only new tokens can pass through.

This means that the Cao family cannot enter unless they break through the palace's defensive formation.

The three families simply moved into the palace, taking over the place of the other family.

More than a month later.

Mei Yun and Xu Wenxi are back.

Xu Chuan asked the two of them what they thought, and neither of them objected to becoming Daoist partners.

a few days later.

Dongxi then held a wedding banquet for the two of them.

As the wedding of Dongxi Genius and Xu Chuan's disciple, it was naturally extremely lively and grand.

January has arrived again in the blink of an eye.

Xu Chuan suddenly sensed another unusual movement in the family genealogy.

next moment.

He suddenly opened his eyes, two beams of light shooting out, and muttered to himself with a slight smile, "I didn't expect Devon to actually form his core at this critical moment."

A further deduction revealed that Xu Dewen had actually formed his core in Sima family's old lair, Simo City.

"That's true. Even if the Cao family and the Sima family both gathered in the capital of Daliang, they couldn't possibly bring the spiritual vein with them. It just benefited Dewen."

At this time, in the Great Jin Dynasty, in the city of Simo.

Numerous independent cultivators discussed the matter animatedly.

"Which family's ancestor successfully broke through to the Core Formation stage?"

"Judging by its power, the Core Formation stage is truly formidable!"

"No, the center of this Core Formation phenomenon is a certain cave dwelling, so it must be where some rogue cultivator has formed their Core."

"Tsk tsk tsk, what good luck!"

Xu Dewen successfully formed his Golden Core. However, given the spiritual energy of the cave, even with the secret method for forming the Golden Core, he could only reach the late stage of the first level of the Golden Core realm at most.

However, relying on his own physical talent, he managed to reach the second level of the Golden Core stage, saving himself seven or eight years of arduous cultivation.

Inside the cave.

Xu Dewen was familiarizing himself with the transformation of the Golden Core stage when suddenly a fluctuation came from the void.

He immediately separated a wisp of his divine consciousness and immersed it in.

"Grandfather." Xu Dewen formed a illusory image of his consciousness and bowed to Xu Chuan.

Xu Chuan smiled faintly and said, "Congratulations, Devon, but you were too hasty. Some of the resources prepared for you were not used."

“It’s alright, Grandfather. With your blessing of two talents, any weakness can be made up for.”

"Too."

Xu Chuan smiled, then his expression turned serious again. "The great calamity should be in a month or two. Be careful."

"Grandfather, rest assured, I know. With the Blood Corpse and Soul Banner in hand, plus my own supernatural abilities, even if I encounter demonic cultivators from the Black Water Domain, as long as they are not surrounded by several Golden Core cultivators, I can manage."

The grandson is also confident of escaping.

Moreover, since the grandson lives alone, such a situation is unlikely.

Xu Chuan nodded slightly.

Immediately afterwards, Xu Dewen withdrew from "Xu's Grotto Heaven".

a few days later.

A disciple of the Sima family arrived.

Xu Dewen was invited to the Sima family, but after entering the Sima family mansion's grand formation, a massacre suddenly broke out.

Although the vast majority of elites and resources had been transferred to the capital of Liang, Xu Dewen's looting of the Sima family was still a small success.

Then, Xu Dewen fled far away.

The crowd was buzzing with discussion.

"Has 'Wen Daoren' gone mad? Isn't he afraid that the Sima family patriarch will hunt him down across the entire world?"

“He is now a Golden Core cultivator, so removing the blood seal is no problem for him. Besides, the world is so vast, where do you expect the Sima family patriarch to hunt him down?”

"What if the three patriarchs join forces to hunt them down?"

"That's actually quite possible."

Xu Dewen had already hidden himself in a remote mountain range in the Great Jin Dynasty. He then immediately removed the bloodstains from his body and moved to another place where he could finally settle down.

The Xu family recalled all their spies outside and began final preparations for battle.

The first day of October.

The forces from various prefectures in the Northwest gathered at Taihe Lake.

Meanwhile, the demonic cultivators from the Blackwater region who participated in this event had already arrived outside the Heaven-Sealing Array.
