The Xu family follows Taoism and seeks longevity

Chapter 17 Brother Zhi’an
  The two returned to the ground and did not leave directly. It was not that Xu Zhiyu didn't want to leave, but Xu Zhi'an stopped him and said:

"Nineteenth Brother, you can keep the things on this beast and ask your grandfather to refine some good magic weapons later."

Xu Zhiyu was stunned. He didn't expect Third Brother to be so polite. He shook his head and said, "You can't be like this. This animal was killed by Third Brother. How could He De, the clan brother, dare to accept this thing?"

"Let you just hold it. I'm still early in the late stage of Qi training. When the time comes, I won't be short of first-level mid-level magic weapons. Besides, you will soon be promoted to the late stage of Qi training. Once you reach the late stage of Qi training, You don’t have many magic weapons that you can handle, how will you win in future battles with others?”

Xu Zhian glared at Xu Zhiyu with an unhappy look on his face, as if Xu Zhiyu looked down on him if he didn't accept the gift.

Seeing this, Xu Zhiyu felt even more ashamed, and still declined: "The third brother loves me so much, and the clan brother understands it, but this thing is really valuable, and the clan brother is too embarrassed to deserve it!"

He didn't look fake, and Xu Zhian couldn't help but be confused when he saw it.

What is going on? Today’s juniors are really hard to understand!

Xu Zhian stared at Xu Zhiyu again and again with a puzzled face, and finally couldn't help but ask: "What do you have to be ashamed of? This beast was discovered and hunted by you and me together, it was those casual cultivators When we form a team to hunt monsters, we all have our share, not to mention you and me?"

What puzzled him the most was that although the Xu family's tutoring was very good and the clan members were very united and friendly, there were no such rules.

Xu Zhian is well-informed and has dealt with many immortal cultivators. He can still tell whether a person's face is sincere or fake. He could see that the look of shame on Xu Zhiyu's face was definitely from the bottom of his heart and could not be faked in the slightest.

But of course Xu Zhiyu would not say what he was thinking. Faced with the questions and stares from his clan brother, he could only lower his head and say nothing, just wanting this matter to be revealed as soon as possible.

Seeing this, Xu Zhian didn't know what to say. In the end, he could only say helplessly: "If you really feel sorry for yourself, just think of it as a favor left by the third brother in advance. If your fellow clan members are in trouble in the future, you can try your best to help. , just try to help as much as possible.”

"I still have something to verify. Please stay here for a while. I'll be back soon."

Seeing the third brother leaving vigorously and resolutely, he sighed with a wry smile, "That's all we can do. Just treat it as a favor that you owe the third brother and repay it later!"

After putting away the body of the 'Gold Swallowing Rat', he stood there and waited patiently when nothing happened.

"I don't know what kind of medicine is sold in the gourd of Third Brother. It's mysterious." Xu Zhiyu muttered in a low voice.

"Nineteenth brother, it's not good to talk about people behind their backs!" I saw Xu Zhian popping up from the ground with a little nudge. At the same time, he did not forget to tease him, and there was an ecstatic look on his face. Although he wanted to endure it, he could not let others speak. The ones are getting bigger and bigger.

Looking at the distorted expression of the third brother, Xu Zhiyu asked:

"Third brother, what did you find when you went down? You are so happy. Besides, you can laugh if you want. Why are you holding back?"

"Hahahaha." A series of laughter came from Xu Zhian's mouth, which was hearty.

Xu Zhiyu originally wanted to laugh along, but he couldn't understand the meaning and couldn't laugh.

After a while, Xu Zhian's laughter stopped, and then he suppressed his excitement and said to Xu Zhiyu:

"Nineteenth brother, let's make a fortune. Do you know what I found underground? Lots and lots of red flame iron ore. Do you know what this means? It means there is a vein of red flame iron ore below, which means After reporting it to the family, each person will earn 10% of the net profit every year, which is thousands of family contributions every year. Do you think I can be unhappy? Can I be unhappy? "

"Third brother, are you serious? Is there really a vein of red flame iron ore down here?" Xu Zhiyu was also so excited that he was speechless.

"It's absolutely true, but there is a nest of monster beasts entrenched above the mine. If what I see is correct, they should be 'soul-eating spiders'. There are quite a few of them, and it is very likely that there are second-order 'soul-eating spiders'. Do you think we should take over What should I do when I get down?"

"What should we do next? Hasn't Third Brother already made a decision in his mind?"

Xu Zhiyu looked at his clan brother who looked surprised, smiled confidently, and confidently stated his clan brother's plan. "No matter whether there are second-level 'Soul-Eating Spiders' here, it's not something that the two of us can deal with. In this case, why should we take the risk to find out if there are any 'Soul-Eating Spiders'? If there are many monsters, we are If you fall into it, then the sky and the sky will not respond, and the earth will not work. Why not return to Zimu Mountain first, and then let the third brother tell the elders of the family about what happened this time, and let the elders and clan leaders decide the matter."

"Bah bang bang!"

The applause sounded, and Xu Zhi'an looked at Xu Zhiyu with a look of relief. While applauding, he sincerely praised: "Well said! You are worthy of being the Qilin son of the Xu family who was declared by Elder Zhuji himself. Nineteenth brother, I have already known you for your precocious wisdom." I have heard about it, but I just found out today that you are not only precociously intelligent, but also have a strategic mind, know how to advance and retreat, and understand the importance. With this ability to judge the situation, looking at the two generations of monks in my Xu family, "Zheng" and "Zhi", you are able to compete with others. There will never be more than three people who are equal to you!"

After saying that, the clan brother's face straightened, he looked at Xu Zhiyu solemnly and said: "Yes, I do think as you said, Nineteenth Brother. I will give you a piece of advice today. Whenever you encounter such opportunities in the future, Things that come with risks, unless there is a reason to have to fight, you must restrain all greed and curiosity, and save your own life as the most important thing in everything. You must remember that only chance is the life of a person. Opportunity, otherwise if you die, no matter how good the opportunity is, it will have nothing to do with you!"

"My clan brother will keep Third Brother's advice in mind and thank Third Brother for his teachings."

Xu Zhiyu bowed respectfully to his clan brother and thanked him for his advice.

Although he has known this truth for a long time, the advice from his clan brother is not only the words of experience summed up by his life experience, but also contains the heart of care and love. With this kind of love, he cannot but thank him.

Xu Zhian accepted the gift calmly, then he didn't know what he thought of, and sighed with a complicated expression:
  "Just remember, our Xu family will rely on you from now on. That's all we are. Now we can only pass on to you the insights and experiences we have summarized in our lives. I hope that you will be able to practice in the future." Avoid taking some of the detours we have taken, and don’t be like your uncles and uncles who died young and lost their lives early on these detours!”

"What are you talking about, third brother? You have just passed your thirties. If you practice hard, you may not have enough time to build a foundation."

"Then I'll lend you some good advice. If I really succeed in building the foundation, I'll have a drink with you and my nineteenth brother!"

"Okay, then I'll wait."

When Xu Zhiyu heard what the clan brother said, he knew that the clan brother was speaking out of emotion, thinking of the clan members of the Xu family who had died violently over the years.

There are many dangers in the world of immortality, not only natural disasters and monsters, but also man-made disasters.

In recent years, in addition to the immortal cultivating families like the Xu family who have occupied a second-level spiritual line for cultivation, there have been many first-level spiritual lines that are not suitable for large numbers of people to live in and have been occupied by solo practitioners.

These casual cultivators do not have the systematic inheritance of exercises, weapon refining, alchemy, and talisman making like family monks and sect monks, nor do they have sect benefits and family benefits. You can hunt monsters or collect elixirs and bring them to the cultivator's market, and sell them to shops opened by cultivating families and sects in exchange for them.

Where there is buying and selling, there will naturally be killing. Hunting monsters and collecting spiritual elixirs can be exchanged for spiritual stones and elixirs. Hunting monks can also get these, and they come faster. Not to mention anything else, the two Shura evil spirits he encountered on the way to Zimu Mountain are Living by this, countless immortal cultivators have died at their hands. From their storage bags, Xu Zhiyu found many family monks' magical weapons, robes, etc., as well as hundreds of spiritual stones, which were the "golden belts for murder and arson".

Therefore, many casual cultivators simply formed gangs and became robber cultivators, engaged in business without capital, and specialized in killing and plundering other monks' property to help their own cultivation.

Even some powerful casual cultivators will deliberately leave spiritual objects to set up traps, and then spread the news of the treasures everywhere, waiting for those cultivators who think they have hit the opportunity to take the initiative to deliver them to their doorsteps.
  However, the world of cultivating immortals is vast. As long as you are clean from beginning to end or you find a place where no one knows to hide and change your appearance after success, no one will know who the murderer is, and it will be difficult to find him if he knows.

There are a total of twenty-eight monks of the "zheng" generation in the Xu family tree, and forty-three monks of the "zhi" generation. The total number of monks still alive is only forty-eight!
  Of the twenty-three people who disappeared, except for eight who accidentally died at the mouths of monsters, the other fifteen people all lost their lives inexplicably when they left their families to carry out family tasks or went on adventures. No bones were found.

Compared with poor casual cultivators, wealthy family monks and sect monks are sometimes more likely to become targets of those criminals.

For this reason, the Xu family and many immortal cultivating families have specially set up family rules. Any family cultivator who has not reached the late stage of Qi training is absolutely not allowed to leave the family alone to travel and explore adventures.

Xu Zhian has lived for decades, and has been in the family transport team. Of course, he has also encountered many attacks and killings by rogue cultivators, and has experienced many traps and temptations. He has been able to survive until now, and has touched many lives on his hands.

Therefore, it is absolutely no exaggeration to say that it is an experience summed up through life.

　Second update, there will be one later, it’s a new week, please vote for recommendation!
