The Xu family follows Taoism and seeks longevity

Chapter 103 From ancient times to the present (I beg you to order all of them!)
  A few days later, Xu Zhiyu received a summons from his grandfather and came to the top of Nanfeng Mountain and the ancestor's cave.

"My great-grandson pays my respects to my great-grandfather. I wish my ancestors a long life and may they achieve great success soon!" He knelt down to pay homage.

"Get up!" Xu Deming waved his hand, and Xu Zhiyu, who had just been kneeling, had already stood up, as if it was not him who was kneeling and he was completely unaware.

Xu Zhiyu was shocked, which meant that the ancestor's magic power became even more unpredictable after breaking through to Zi Mansion.

"I don't know who this kid learned from. It couldn't be you who taught him Shengsheng, right?" Patriarch Xu Deming turned to look at Xu Shengsheng and asked with a smile.

"Ancestor, you have wronged your nephew! You should know who your nephew is?" Xu Shengsheng said he would not take the blame.

"Haha!" Before the ancestor could speak, Xu Shengxiao, who was standing next to him, chuckled.

Xu Shengsheng glared at him, but before he said anything, the ancestor continued:

"Yu'er, I heard from your grandfather that the invisibility talisman you just made is extraordinary and its functions are incredible. I wonder how many finished products you have now?"

After hearing the ancestor's question, Xu Zhiyu replied respectfully:

"Returning to our ancestors, we have now made one hundred and sixty invisibility charms!"

"One hundred and sixty, that's less! We can't get enough of one for everyone in the family. Please take some time and draw some more! Try to get every member of the clan one before the beast wave breaks out!" Xu Deming pondered. After a while, he ordered him.

"Yes, ancestor, my great-grandson will definitely try his best!"

Although I agreed, I am still a little confused. Isn't this enough? You can’t let monks who are in the early stages of Qi training go out to fight monsters, right?

Xu Zhiyu's expression fell into the eyes of the three elders. Xu Deming nodded towards Xu Shengsheng and motioned for him to speak.

"Yu'er, now I have to tell you some things. I didn't tell you before because your cultivation level is still shallow and there is no benefit in knowing it. Now that you are about to break through the foundation building and become a senior member of the family, there are some things that you should let me know. knew!"

Xu Zhiyu heard his grandfather's slightly serious words, and he couldn't help but look up at his grandfather.

"Do you know how many times our Xu family has experienced beast tides?" Xu Shengsheng looked at his grandson and asked.

"Grandpa, if you don't count this time, there are five times in total."

"Yes, but do you know how the family suffers casualties each time?"

"The elders of the family taught me this when I was studying in the family! Why do you ask this?" Xu Zhiyu thought about it, but still replied:
  "There are heavy casualties, and there is a lot of blood!" Xu Zhiyu said according to the script. This is what the elders taught in ethnic studies.

"That's just a summary, just a surface. The real situation is far beyond what can be summarized in these few words!" After a pause, Xu Shengcai continued:

"Every time there is a beast tide, the number of family monks will be reduced by at least 50%. In the most severe time, that is, during the second beast tide, the family's mountain protection formation was broken. Although in the end the monsters were driven out by the clansmen's concerted efforts, But in the end, there were less than twenty family monks who survived!"

Xu Zhiyu was shocked, but this was not recorded in the family history. Could it be that the family history was false?
  "You don't understand why it's inconsistent with the family history records, do you?" Xu Shengsheng asked, looking at his grandson who was doubting his life.

"Yeah!" Xu Zhiyu didn't answer much. He was still immersed in his grandfather's words just now.

"Because the clan history is for the clansmen to read, its main purpose is to allow the clansmen to unite and work hard, to understand the hardships the family has faced along the way, and at the same time, it also makes them feel the pressure and be prepared for danger in times of peace. Only in this way can we better promote the clansmen's cultivation and not relax! "

"But the pressure cannot be too great. If the pressure is too great, the tribe may not be able to bear it and cause panic. In that case, the gains outweigh the losses. Do you understand now?" Xu Shengsheng finished speaking in one breath, and no one spoke after that. There was only an inaudible sound of breathing, which belonged to Xu Zhiyu. The foundation-building expert had already reached the realm of fetal breath, and there was no sound of breathing for a long time.

Xu Zhiyu also wanted to understand why the ancestor asked him to continue drawing the invisibility talisman. It seemed that he had thought the beast tide was simple before, and the situation was far more serious than he imagined.

But this can't be blamed on him. He didn't have complete information in the past. If he didn't show his extraordinary side, maybe the Foundation Establishment Pill wouldn't be in his turn, and he would never know these secrets.

"Is this a white lie?" he thought.

"Okay, stop hanging your head. What are you doing with your head down?" Hearing his ancestor's words, Xu Zhiyu came to his senses again. He was still a little frightened by his grandfather's words just now, but when he thought about it, his ancestor is now a member of the Zi Mansion. You are a monk, so what are you afraid of?
  "But you don't have to worry too much. I have good news for you. I just received the Baiyi Sect's communication talisman and sent a third-level array master to replace the third-level low-level clan protection array for the family. There is With this formation, the safety of the family is better guaranteed, and the defensive power of the third-level low-level formation is far beyond that of the second-level high-level formation!"

The ancestor felt that the atmosphere was a bit dull, so he opened his mouth to tell the three people good news. Sure enough, after hearing this, both Xu Zhiyu and Xu Shengsheng had smiles on their faces.

"Also, this time I went to Shangqing Valley to find Old Ghost Zhao and asked about the refining situation of the Foundation Establishment Pill. I also found out some information about the beast tide from him. After all, Shangqing Valley has been passed down for thousands of years and there are many sources of information."

"Although I haven't heard anything about the beast tide, I learned that the materials for refining the Foundation Establishment Pill are all ready, and he will start the furnace soon. I believe there will be good news soon!"

Xu Deming continued, this news is more important to Xu Zhiyu. If the Foundation Establishment Pill obtained at the auction cannot help him break through, the Foundation Establishment Pill refined by Shangqing Valley will be his last guarantee.

After all, it is a breakthrough in foundation building. No one can guarantee that a foundation building pill will definitely succeed in building a foundation. If that were the case, there would be several times more foundation building monks in Baiyi Sect than there are now.

"Ancestor, the monks from Baiyi Sect are here to set up a clan defense formation for us. Does the family need to prepare any materials?" Xu Shengxiao thought of something and asked.

"No, the formation materials will be prepared and delivered by Baiyi Sect. We don't need to prepare anything extra! But later, you can go to the family treasury and get some spiritual materials related to the third-level formation as a gift. Master of the Baiyi Sect Array! This is etiquette and indispensable!"

"Yes!" Xu Shengxiao agreed. Although he didn't need to prepare anything, he couldn't prepare nothing.

"Okay, let's talk about Yu'er's reward for drawing the invisibility talisman for the family! Yu'er, tell me, what do you want?"

It was the ancestor Xu Deming who spoke. Xu Zhiyu had been drawing invisibility charms for the family in the past few years, but he knew everything about it. Merits must be rewarded and mistakes must be punished, so that the family can go on for a long time.

Xu Zhiyu did not hypocritically say that he should deal with the family as a matter of course. That is not his character. If the family relies on a certain person's selfless dedication and sucks his blood, it is better to stay away from such a family. After thinking for a while, he said:

"Ancestor, my great-grandson has been thinking about it for a long time. I hope that after breaking through the foundation building, I will boldly ask my ancestor to help me refine a second-level defensive magic weapon for my great-grandson!"

"Okay, I will accept this. I will use all my life's knowledge and I will not let you down!" Xu Deming responded. He had this plan in the first place.

"But a second-level magic weapon, even if it is a defensive magic weapon, is only worth ten or twenty thousand spiritual stones. It is very different from the value of the invisibility talisman you made. I have the final say. After you successfully build the foundation, you can go to Choose any second-level offensive weapon from the family treasury."

"Also, what do you think about awarding you another 50,000 family contribution points?"

"My great-grandson thanked my ancestor!" Xu Zhiyu was overjoyed and quickly thanked him. He had thought before that the family would not treat him badly, but wasn't this reward too generous?

He should be the richest person in the family now, besides his ancestor, right? He thought so.
