The Xu family follows Taoism and seeks longevity

Chapter 19 Preparing to learn Fu Tao (please recommend and collect)

The journey home was smooth sailing.

A few days after leaving Zimu Mountain, Xu Zhiyu successfully returned to Nanfeng Mountain after three years of absence.

When he came down the mountain three years ago, he was just a high-spirited young man who had just broken through to the sixth level of Qi training.

When he returned three years later, although he was still at the sixth level of qi training in terms of cultivation, the high-spirited young man at the beginning had grown into a handsome young man who was six feet tall, rich and handsome.

According to family rules, any family monk who returns from a field trip must first go to the family elder to report the situation and submit a work report. Therefore, he first went to the General Affairs Hall to submit his job report.

After leaving the General Affairs Hall, Xu Zhiyu went straight to the top of Nanfeng. Now that his parents were still in Fangshi, he went directly to find his grandfather.

When I arrived at the top of the mountain, I stood in front of the cave gate, but I hadn't asked for permission yet.

"Is Yu'er here? Come to the cave quickly. I have something to tell you." The greeting from my grandfather rang out.

Xu Zhiyu entered the cave respectfully. After seeing his grandfather Xu Shengsheng, before he could salute, his grandfather called him to his weapon refining room.

"Now you refine a first-level low-grade magic weapon and show it to me. Tell me what materials you want, and I will open the supply for you!"

Xu Shengsheng is worthy of being a foundation-building monk, and he speaks with confidence. The first-order spiritual objects that monks usually fight for during the Qi training period are like cabbage in his eyes, and they can be supplied freely.

What else does Xu Zhiyu have to say? Of course, just roll up your sleeves and get to work.

After wasting fifteen pieces of materials in a row, on the sixteenth refining time, he successfully refined a first-level low-grade magic weapon, the Flying Sword.

"Yu'er, your weapon refining skills haven't improved much. It seems that your weapon refining talent is much lower than I originally expected."

Xu Shengsheng said with a sigh.

"Grandpa, my grandson is unfilial and I have let you down!" Xu Zhiyu lowered his head and said reproachfully.

"That's all, everything is God's will! Since you are not very talented in refining weapons, just learn another cultivation skill. The more you go to practice, the more resources you need, and you need a lot of spiritual stones. You can master various skills and earn money. It’s always easier to get spiritual stones.”

"Now you take out the skin and teeth of the [Gold-Swallowing Rat] you originally obtained and give them to me, plus some other main materials. I will refine two first-level high-grade magic weapons for you this time, one for attack and one for defense, for free. , you are almost at the late stage of Qi training, so prepare first."

Xu Shengsheng, a second-level low-level weapon refiner, had to do it himself, so there was no chance of failure. Two hours later, the weapon refining was completed. The two crafted magic weapons were a defensive inner armor made of rat skin, and a set of four short daggers made of four rat incisors.

Because two drops of Xu Zhiyu's essence and blood were taken from the sacrificial weapon when refining it, once the magical weapon is made, it can be used directly.

He was not polite to his grandfather. He immediately took off his outer robe and put on his defensive inner armor, and then put four short daggers about seven inches in length into his storage bag.

After he had done this, Xu Shengsheng said: "Your cultivation should be able to break through to the seventh level of Qi training soon, right? Once you break through to the seventh level of Qi training, with these two magic weapons, In addition to the [Xuan Iron Shield] I gave you before, you can still fight against ordinary ninth-level Qi-training cultivators!"

Hearing his grandfather's words at this time, his face suddenly straightened up, and he replied respectfully: "My grandson was just about to tell his grandfather about this. Recently, my grandson has vaguely felt the barrier in the late stages of Qi training. It will take about a year to break through." When the time comes, I hope to make a breakthrough with the help of the abundant spiritual energy in the breakthrough cave dedicated to the top of the mountain, and I also ask my grandfather for permission."

"Very good, then you can go to that cave to retreat and break through. The formation tokens in the cave are with the clan leader. You can just apply!"

"Thank you, grandfather. Grandson, I will take my leave."

After walking down the top of the mountain, Xu Zhiyu had no time to look at the scenery and returned to his cave with a lot of thoughts.

"The various arts of cultivation, since weapon refining is not good, then what should I choose? It can be said that alchemy is the most popular profession in the world of immortality, but in the family, only my aunt Xu Zhengyan is an alchemist. It is an inheritance obtained through experience outside. It is not a system and can only be relied on. If you explore on your own, you will now reach the threshold of a first-level low-grade alchemist. This road is blocked!" "Formation, let alone the formation, there is no formation master in the family, and even the clan protection formation was bought at auction. Yes, besides, the formation requires more talent. Without someone to guide you, you can't even get into the door. If you want to learn this, you have to join the Baiyi Sect and become a disciple. It is impossible for outsiders to learn it. It's too abominable. Actually creating a monopoly!" Xu Zhiyu thought bitterly.

"Then let's make the talisman. The family has a first-level top-grade talisman maker - the eighth uncle Xu Zhenggong. The family also has a complete inheritance of first-level talisman making, so we will choose to make the talisman. I will go see the clan leader tomorrow and talk to him about it. I want to borrow the cave in the future, and by the way, I want to learn how to make talismans." Xu Zhiyu made up his mind.

After practicing all night, Xu Zhiyu got up early, made preparations, and set off to find the clan leader.

In the family meeting hall.

"Nephew Zhiyu, I have met the clan leader." Xu Zhiyu bowed.

"Zhiyu, we haven't seen each other for several years, and he has become even more handsome!" The patriarch Xu Shengzhao said with a smile on his face when he saw Xu Zhiyu.

"I'd like to ask the patriarch to take care of you," Xu Zhiyu replied.

"Okay, you have been out for a few years now. Okay, your realm has become more stable. Are you going to break through the late stage of Qi training?" The clan leader Xu Shengzhao said with a pleased look on his face.

"This time I came here to tell you about this, clan leader. I have a feeling that there is still a year before the breakthrough. I would like to borrow the cave at the top of the mountain, so I came here to apply for it." Xu Zhiyu said unhurriedly.

Some people may want to ask, isn’t there still a year left? You can just use it then, so why report it in advance? This is because there are many qi-training monks in the clan, and everyone has the opportunity to use a special cave when they break through the big barrier, which is a family benefit.

If the breakthrough fails, it will cost the family contribution points to use it again. Now there are many families who are stuck in the late stage of Qi training and cannot break through. If they don't report in advance, they don't know when they will wait.

"Okay, this is what it should be. Now your seventeenth uncle is using the cave. When he comes out, it will be your sixth brother Xu Zhilong. No one has reported yet. When the time comes, you can come to me to get the cave token. "

"Thank you, patriarch!"

"Hey, I'm still a step too slow. Qualifications are overwhelming! Third brother practices so fast!" Xu Zhiyu thought to himself.

"Clan leader, my grandnephew has something to report."

"Speak!"

"I studied weapon refining before, but my talent was average. I found that this path was almost impossible, so my great-nephew wanted to change to another skill."

"Is that so? Do you want to learn anything?" The clan leader Xu Shengzhao pondered for a while and then asked.

"My grandnephew has thought about it and wants to learn how to make talismans from my eighth uncle."

"Have you told your grandfather about this? What did he say?"

"As I said, I only came up with this idea under the guidance of his old man!"

"Okay, but there is something I need to tell you in advance. It is true that the family will provide early-stage support to clan members who learn the various arts of cultivation. But last time you learned to refine weapons, the family funded you with 100 weapons-refining materials, which is equivalent to your I have already received the benefits. If you want to learn how to make talismans, you have to spend your own spiritual stones to learn. Do you understand?" The clan leader stroked his beard and said to Xu Zhiyu.

"Don't worry, patriarch. My grandnephew is also familiar with the family rules and regulations and understands them all." Xu Zhiyu replied. There are a lot of spiritual stones obtained from killing Shura Shuangsha, so the initial investment should be enough.

"That's very good. Your eighth uncle is at the family's Baiyi Hall. Then you can go find him. But you need to know that cultivation is the foundation. You can't fall behind in cultivation just because you learn the Baiyi. That would be to sacrifice the basics and pursue the weakest. You have to Remember!" the clan leader said seriously.

"Yes, clan leader." Xu Zhiyu bowed and retreated.
