The Xu family follows Taoism and seeks longevity

Chapter 169 Something went wrong (please subscribe!)
  Xu Zhiyu walked out of the cave and went directly to the family meeting hall.

Along the way, he discovered that there were very few clansmen on the clan mountain. He was flying with his flag in mid-air, but he didn't even see a few. It was impossible that all the clansmen happened to be in seclusion, right?
  However, he found a few late-stage Qi-training tribesmen near the meeting hall. Judging from the direction they were traveling, they should be going to the same place as him. He did not alert them and entered the family meeting hall first.

"Chief, all the spiritual tools used for the development of Taoyuanfang City are ready. Who do you think sent them?"

Xu Zhengyou, the head of the reserve hall who is responsible for the family's material mobilization, asked Xu Shengsheng.

The early materials for the construction of Fang City were brought by the clan members who set out to build Fang City, but the subsequent materials were purchased by the family from other counties and cities in Jinzhou Prefecture, including spiritual materials, spiritual mines, spiritual valleys, Elixirs, magic weapons and the like.

These all need to be transported by manpower, but now the family is short of manpower, and there are family affairs at hand, so there is really no manpower available to do these things.

"I am the only foundation-building monk on the Clan Mountain now. If it doesn't work, I can deliver it myself. This batch of supplies is very important, so there can't be any mistakes!"

Xu Shengsheng rubbed his temples and said slightly tiredly. In the past few years since he became the patriarch, he has not been able to rest for a moment, and there are family affairs to deal with every day.

But he also enjoys it. In the past, his biggest wish was to grow his family. Now he sees that this goal is slowly being realized, so he feels tired but willing to do so.

However, when he caught a glimpse of Xu Zhiyu entering the meeting hall from the corner of his eye, his expression lit up and he said to Xu Zhengyou:
  "Looks like I don't need to go in person, there's a suitable candidate!"

Xu Zhengyou looked back and saw that it was Xu Zhiyu. He smiled and greeted:
  "Zhiyu is out of quarantine, so there's no need to worry. The task of escorting supplies this time is yours!"

"I've met Uncle Twenty-two!"

Xu Zhiyu didn't hear the conversation between his grandfather and his grandfather just now, so he didn't comment on what his uncle said. He just smiled and remained silent after bowing.

When Xu Zheng saw this situation, he must have something to say. It was inappropriate for him to be an outsider. In addition, his problem had been solved, so he immediately said goodbye.

"Yu'er, how was your harvest from this retreat?"

Xu Shengsheng, who was sitting in the seat, asked. Because Xu Zhiyu was wearing the Moyun Jade Pendant, he couldn't tell his grandson's specific cultivation level.

"Back to my grandfather, during this retreat, my cultivation has broken through to the second level of foundation building, and I have also successfully been promoted to the second level of low-level Talisman Maker!"

Hearing his grandfather's question, Xu Zhiyu put down his tea set and answered his grandfather's question.

At the same time, I was also sighing in my heart. The family has become really wealthy now. In the past, there was not even a glass of water provided in the family meeting hall. Now, there is actually a tea set on the table next to every seat, and there are also spiritual tea leaves in it, although it is not considered a cup of water. Top grade, but also genuine spiritual tea.

Seeing that his grandson seemed to be very interested in Lingcha, Xu Shengsheng said casually:
  "What, you want to have a taste? There is pure spiritual water taken from the spring of Lingtan in the back mountain. You can make a cup yourself and try it!"

"No, my grandson is just curious about the changes that have taken place in the family! Grandpa, did anything big happen to the family while I was in seclusion?"

Xu Zhiyu has been in seclusion for so long. Of course he wants to know the outside world. The best way is to ask others. His grandfather is now the clan leader and is in charge of clan affairs. He is well-informed. It is definitely right to ask him.

Hearing his grandson's question, Xu Shengsheng smiled and said:
  "Yes, the family has been mining the red copper mine for several years. Some of the raw ore recovered from the mining was smelted into red copper. The ancestors took it to the markets in several nearby prefectures and sold it. The proceeds were no less than spiritual stones. Two million."   "In view of this, the family finally started the construction of Taoyuanfang City years ago. The ancestor took Zhengji, Zhikai, and Zhifeng there together, first migrating the spiritual veins, and then recruiting scattered people. Repair, work should have started now!”

"More than forty people from the Qi Lian tribe went to participate in the construction of the city. Some of them were smelting the red copper ore in the mountains behind the family. The rest were young tribesmen who had just embarked on the road. They stayed with me in the family. !”

Xu Zhiyu listened to his grandfather talking about the changes in the family in the past few years. It seemed that he had expected it well. After the family mined the veins in exchange for spiritual stones, they really started to build the city.

"The next thing is outside the family, but it is closely related to our Xu family!"

"The Wei family and the Loose Cultivator Alliance have decided to work together to build a city. They have already reported it to the Lingxiao Sect. It is estimated that in the near future, a city similar to the size of our Taoyuan City will be built."

When talking about this, Xu Shengsheng was still a little worried. There were only so many monks in the entire Taoshui County, and the majority of them were casual cultivators. The attractiveness of Xujiafang City was really not as good as that established by the casual cultivator alliance. At a disadvantage.

But this is something you need to worry about later. It’s early now, and no one can say what the future will bring. There are many influencing factors on the number of passengers in the market.

Xu Zhiyu was not surprised by this. At the auction before he established the foundation, the Wei family had colluded with the Rogue Cultivator Alliance. Now it is normal for them to work together to build the city.

Neither of them has the red copper veins in hand, so they will definitely not be able to get together the huge amount of spiritual stones in Jianshefang City. If the two sides split it evenly, they may grit their teeth to get it together.

Looking at his grandson who looked calm, Xu Shengsheng decided to tell a breaking news:

"There is another matter, which is also about the Wei family. Because we are discussing with the Rogue Cultivator Alliance about building a city together, Wei Kaizhong, the eldest elder of the Wei family and the eighth-level founder, often travels between the Wei family and the Rogue Cultivator Alliance and is responsible for liaison. and negotiate matters!”

"What is unexpected is that on the way back to the Wei family from the casual cultivator alliance half a year ago, he mysteriously disappeared. No one was found alive, and no body was found dead."

"After the incident, Wei Kaijiang personally went to the door to ask Yang Tao, the leader of the Rogue Cultivator Alliance, to help investigate, but found nothing. They checked all the places they occupied in Taoshui County one by one, but still found no clues!"

This is strange, could it be the hand of the ancestor? But there was no reason. Could it be that he was afraid that the Wei family would have a second Zifu monk, so he quietly took action. Thinking of this, he raised his head and asked:
  "Grandpa, could he be the ancestor?"

"Don't make random guesses. The development of our Xu family is so smooth now. It won't be long before the Wei family is far behind. How could something unexpected happen at this time?"

"Besides, during the two days when Wei Kaizhong's accident occurred, my ancestor had been in Taoyuanfang City discussing the arrangement of the protective formation with the formation masters sent by the Lingxiao Sect. Where did he find the time to kill Wei Kaizhong?"

Xu Zhiyu nodded when he heard the words, and secretly thought that he was right. The ancestor was not a short-sighted person. Even if he wanted to clean up the Wei family, he would definitely have to have enough Zifu monks in the family to launch a devastating blow. Now to attack the Wei family, but Not a good time!
  "Anyway, this matter didn't come to a clear conclusion in the end, but you should be more careful when you go to Taoyuanfang City to deliver supplies this time. I always feel that this time things are quite weird!"

Xu Shengsheng gave Xu Zhiyu his final instructions and handed him the storage bag that Xu Zhengyou had just left in the meeting hall.

Xu Zhiyu didn't refuse. He happened to be going to Taoyuanfang City to visit, so he took the storage bag from his grandfather and set off.
