Immortal, my aptitude is mediocre

Chapter 300
In Xu Tao's eyes, this smile was like the Qing Emperor blooming with brilliance, and brilliant Taoist flowers growing everywhere on the earth.

"I dare not call you a Taoist friend."

He knew what Chen Sheng was thinking, and he came with goodwill. He felt relaxed and happy, and he bowed his hands in a gesture of humility.

The fact is that the gap between them is too big. No matter from which angle he compares, he cannot be on an equal footing with this one.

"Sit down and have a drink with me."

Chen Sheng said gently.

"It's Xu's honor."

Xu Tao sat next to Chen Sheng, being polite and courteous, and then asked the young man in Tsing Yi to set up a top-notch banquet of fungus gods, as well as ten pots of second-level spiritual wine, making sure to have it when needed.

The boy in green clothes lowered his eyebrows and did it, but he was very curious about Chen Sheng's identity. "Master Xu" was really too respectful.

The things used are also top-notch, and there is no trace of unevenness, which is enough to show solemnity and prudence.

An unknown master, the head of a wealthy family and a regular customer, asked the chef to spare some time to deal with it. Within a quarter of an hour, the table was full of delicacies.

Chen Sheng's realm is so advanced that these treasures can no longer help his cultivation. In terms of appetite, he has eaten a lot of things, so they are just a small taste, and more of them are the joy of meeting old friends, adding a small taste. Wine, the atmosphere is extremely comfortable.

The two chatted a lot. Xu Tao was not very good at cultivation, but he was open-minded, talked about everything, and had personality charm.

Chen Sheng's impression of him was that of people like Wangzhu and Cai Guling, who were idle and carefree, seeking inner purity.

Therefore, the conversation was very harmonious and there was no tendency to break up.

"Although I live in a corner, I also know the power of the Guangxiu Immortal Sect. It has a three-gold elixir. People from all over the world say that the seniors are extremely powerful in battle, and their ability to teach the younger generations is also top-notch."

Xu Tao was a bit drunk, and everyone gets drunk even if they are not drunk. Putting aside Chen Sheng's power, he was very happy when talking to this person, as if he had found a confidant. He understood everything he said and did.

At this moment, the person who was most shocked was the young man in Tsing Yi who was adding wine. He finally knew Chen Sheng’s identity and understood that Xu Tao’s previous respect was not an exaggeration.

Although Xu Tao was a little drunk, he was very sober. With a look, he told the young man in Tsing Yi to behave according to the rules and treat it as normal.

"That's what they were made for."

Chen Sheng didn't seem to notice the little actions of both parties. He lowered his head and drank, not boasting. The fact that Zhou Xian and Chang An were able to form the golden elixir was his own good fortune. He didn't make much arrangements.

When these words reached the ears of the young man in green clothes, he only heard the word "good fortune". He envied Zhou Xian and Chang An's luck, and Master Xu's opportunities.

If he had this kind of treatment, at least he wouldn't have to add wine to keep him company and be a waiter.

"It is a great regret that I cannot join the Guangxiu Immortal Sect in this life and listen to the teachings of my seniors."

This is Xu Tao's inner voice. Ever since they first met Yanlou that year, he has been blessed with a lifetime of freedom. If he could choose again, he would be willing to join the Guangxiu Immortal Sect and pursue the figure of his ancestor.

"That disappoints you. The conditions for Guangxiu Immortal Sect to recruit disciples are at least teenagers. You are too old."

Chen Sheng chuckled. The white-haired Xu Tao had a leisurely and peaceful mind, and had the demeanor of a hermit. He admired it very much, but the time was set and there was no if.

"Senior and I hit it off like old friends. I used to make many people envious of me. Some of the elders in the clan even yin and yang with me, using the skin of a tiger to make a banner."

Xu Tao heard the recognition in Chen Sheng's words and was very happy. He told his previous depression and said, "It would be great if senior could go to the Xu family with me. It would also be an explanation for the dead clan elders. "

This was a joke. He had no resentment towards those clan elders. In the end, he controlled the power of the Xu family. He was free to the end and would not care about those rotten old men.

"OK."

Chen Sheng said flatly.

"senior?!"

Xu Tao mentioned it casually, and Chen Sheng responded casually. Then the former was a little stunned, with an excited expression and a bit of dreaminess.

"You heard that right."

Chen Sheng said with a smile.

He behaves casually and has no airs. Since he can chat with Xu Tao, it is normal for him to invite him and go to him.

"Then let's... go!"

Xu Tao sobered up and said tentatively.

Then, the two people left the Yanlou. The young man in green stood at the gate and said goodbye. When he turned around, a piece of martial arts appeared on the altar. He couldn't help but be surprised. He knew it was a gift from Patriarch Chen Sheng, and he bowed towards the distance again. .

……

Xu family.

This is a powerful cultivating family that occupies a single place and has built many palaces. Over time, it exudes a sense of simplicity and heaviness.

"Old patriarch, you are back."

A young man from the Xu family with slightly chubby cheeks was about to go out to play. When he saw Xu Tao coming towards him, he very obediently stood still and saluted.

"This is Patriarch Chen Sheng. Please tell the public that distinguished guests are coming. Don't rush into him."

Xu Tao never criticizes his juniors harshly and speaks softly, but he is very firm in his stance and must treat Chen Sheng as a distinguished guest.

"Master Chen Sheng? I understand."

The fat-faced Xiao Xu was not very experienced in the world and was still confused. He didn't know the weight of this taboo. Seeing that the old patriarch was serious, he saluted Chen Sheng and ran out.

He is not really stupid. He knows that there are three clan elders in the meeting hall who have high status in the clan and must be informed.

After that, it no longer matters whether he continues to spread the word, the clan elders will make arrangements.

really.

In the meeting hall, three clan elders were present. They looked older. They were younger than Xu Tao in age, but they were a little less energetic. They were probably sorting out things.

"Several clan elders, the clan leader is here with the distinguished guests, please don't rush into the nobles."

Fat-faced Xiao Xu said truthfully.

"Master, are you having fun again?"

The great elder closed his eyes, with helplessness written all over his face. Xu Tao had been idle and careless throughout his life, rarely dignified and solemn. He could chat with anyone, and there were too many "noble people".

"The patriarch is so comfortable. From now on, I will let my children and grandchildren also compete for the position of patriarch."

The second elder said with envy.

Xu Tao is a hands-off shopkeeper, he doesn't do any chores, and usually doesn't have anything important to do, so he lives a happy and peaceful life. They all envy him when they see that kind of life.

"Forget it, as the leader of the clan, this man relies on his life, which cannot be compared."

The third elder pointed out the key point. Xu Tao's experience cannot be replicated. He was born noble, the eldest son of the direct line, and had a slight concern with the Guangxiu Immortal Sect. He had a deep blessing, so he ascended to the position of clan leader.

If their descendants are lucky enough to be clan leaders and dare to do this, they will be pulled down.

"correct……"

The second elder nodded. This was the reason. He thought about it and said, "Where is this noble man born? But what's so special about him?"

He didn't want to go out respectfully, and faced a mountain cultivator whose skills were mediocre and not worthy of praise.

It’s not that I look down on them, but there are too many people like this, so there’s no need to go to war over it and interfere with the itinerary.

"I don't know. I only know that my surname is Chen Mingsheng, and I am named after my ancestor."

The fat-faced Xiao Xu was silent for a while, and finally remembered it, and breathed out softly. If it were later, he would have forgotten it. "Chen Sheng? Patriarch?"

The great elder was shocked. This name was too loud. He had defeated many Jindan masters, especially in the battle at Dalong Mountain, which established his supreme majesty and made him a great figure that all cultivators must worship.

"The patriarch is a person who does great things. If he doesn't make a sound, he will already become famous."

Even with the power of the Xu family, they are not qualified to invite such a person to their home.

However, the three clan elders have not forgotten that Xu Tao has a slight connection with that person, so it is not impossible for him to condescend to visit.

"Go quickly."

Suddenly, the great elder couldn't sit still, called the two brothers, and hurried outside.

the other side.

"This is the most important medicinal field of my Xu family."

Xu Tao received Chen Sheng alone, and he was very polite, but he was different from ordinary people, and he didn't have the kind of attitude that would cause a stir.

He did this not out of neglect, but because he thought that Chen Sheng's visit had the meaning of a friend's home visit, which was not easy to show off, as if he wanted to use it to promote something.

Moreover, compared to the shocking ostentation that is widely advertised, I think this person prefers to be quieter.

He entertained Chen Sheng with great care. Knowing that this was a third-level alchemist who must be fond of spiritual herbs, he took him directly to his own medicine garden, admired the flowers and grass, and asked about any deficiencies.

"It's generally not bad. If I really want to point out the shortcomings, it can only be said that the earth's energy is not clean enough and cannot match the aura of the outside world. There are flaws. In addition, the location of the spiritual grass planting is also a bit messy. Not perfect."

Chen Sheng's eyes were filled with bright light, and he could clearly see the details of this medicine garden. Standing at the height of a third-level alchemist, looking down, he could clearly see all the shortcomings.

"That's right. Senior has a sharp eye and what he said is true knowledge and insight."

A sound of greeting sounded.

In fact, it's true. There are no comments from a third-level alchemist that can criticize his reasoning.

Chen Sheng looked around and saw three old men coming outside, with respectful expressions on their faces. Apparently they knew his identity and were rushing to visit.

"Three clan elders, what are you doing here?"

Xu Tao joked.

This is his great meritorious official, who handles many family affairs, but because the power is in his hands, he does good deeds without benefit, and often makes troubles.

What is said most often is that he is idle and has no achievements. He just laughs it off and continues to live happily.

Now that he has moved Chen Sheng out, no one can say anything.

"I've seen seniors!"

The three elders of the Xu family have already recognized that this is indeed the Patriarch Chen Sheng of the Guangxiu Immortal Sect. They did not dare to neglect him in the presence of an expert, and formally bowed their hands in a respectful ceremony.

Finally, they turned to Xu Tao and said, "Clan leader, you are polite..."

This time I really took it!
Xu Tao doesn't care about business, but inviting the founder of Guangxiu Immortal Sect to his home is more powerful than doing tens of millions of things.

Just when this news is revealed, the Xu family's power will increase a lot, attracting the envy and jealousy of many forces, fearing that it will cause terrible disasters.

"Ah."

Xu Tao returned the gift seriously, then looked solemn and said: "Three clan elders, if you have something to do, please leave if you have nothing to do."

At this time, he was somewhat majestic, showing the demeanor of a leader of a large clan.

"Clan leader, can we move on to discuss this in detail?"

Normally, the three clansmen would have turned around and left long ago, but this time it was different. Even under Xu Tao's majesty, they showed rare respect and admiration.

The great elder spoke, looking for a reason to have a secret conversation.

"Senior is not an outsider, just say it here."

Xu Tao's expression did not change, he still looked like the majestic patriarch. It could also be said that he was cold and hard and did not want to discuss.

"Ok."

The great elder sighed. Xu Tao was still the same Xu Tao, unchanged at all. Before he left, he said: "Clan leader, you have to entertain the seniors well, don't... neglect..."

The last two words should be "let go". The arrival of a real Jin Dan is a rare event in a thousand years. Once missed, it can never be recovered.

At this moment of opportunity, you must grasp it well, what to say and what to do, and every word must be carefully considered, in order to obtain more opportunities.

"Senior, don't be surprised, big families are like this."

Xu Tao understands this truth, but he is indeed an outlier, with an idle mind and does not want to think too much about utilitarianism and calculations.

Inviting Chen Sheng to the house for a chat was an act of intimacy, not just an opportunity.

"Am I a confused Patriarch? I don't understand any of this."

Chen Sheng has a good sense of Xu Tao. This person has never changed. He is laid-back and has many tricks. When he gets serious, he can control all the clan elders.

He could see that it was not because of his presence that the three clan elders were convinced and forbearing.

It can be said that Xu Tao is idle, but it cannot be said that he has no means. He just doesn't show it deliberately and doesn't stand out.

"It's a pole, it's a pole."

Xu Tao could tell that Chen Sheng was not really angry, otherwise he would have walked away without leaving any face for the Xu family.

This was a joke. Obviously this person didn't take this matter to heart and was very open-minded.

Under Xu Tao's decision, everyone knew that a nobleman had come to the house, but they did not disturb him. They met him, greeted him respectfully, and then left.

This peaceful atmosphere made Chen Sheng very comfortable, and his interest in visiting the Xu family's land did not diminish.

then……

The two walked to an attic, which was divided into upper and lower floors. The inside and outside were imprinted with spells, written restrictions, and layers of protection to achieve the ultimate in safety.

"This is the Sutra Pavilion."

Xu Tao said casually: "Senior, do you want to go in and take a look?"

It stands to reason that this is the inheritance of the clan and it belongs to an important place, and outsiders cannot be brought in.

But if the person observing is a real Jindan, then there is no need to be harsh. After all, those things are not rare to others, and there is no need to learn them secretly.

"Then take a look."

Chen Sheng nodded.

Immediately, Xu Tao led the way, and the people guarding the Sutra Pavilion, seeing his face, had no reason to stop him and let him go.

In the attic, the lower floor contains Qi Refining Realm techniques. There are many kinds of them, which gives people a feeling of deep family roots.

But Xu Tao's own family knew about his own affairs. To a wealthy family, these were just rubble and could not be used as pillars.

He led Chen Sheng to the upper level, where the essence of Taoism was placed.
