The Xu family follows Taoism and seeks longevity

Chapter 336 The impact of the ‘Meteor Ticket’, family decision (please subscribe!)

Xu Zhiyu walked silently alone on the busy streets of Fangcheng City, which seemed very out of place in the lively atmosphere.

"Fellow Taoists, our store has a new batch of elixirs. They were just picked by the herb collection team from outside the Hengduan Mountains. They are full of potency. If you need them, you can come in and take a look!"

"Today is the tenth anniversary of the opening of our store. In order to reward all Taoist friends for their care over the years, the shopkeeper has decided to offer a 10% discount on all spiritual items today. This is a rare opportunity, don't miss it!"

"Fellow Taoists, look here. These wine jars are filled with spiritual wine that our shop purchased from Dahefang City in Jincheng Prefecture at a huge cost of spiritual stones. It has a fragrant taste and is full of spiritual energy. It can be slightly relieved after drinking for a long time. Taoist friends who are interested in the effectiveness of erysipelas can try it, taste it first before buying it."

Hearing the noisy hawking sounds in his ears, he would have been very happy in the past, but today because he had something on his mind, he felt it was too noisy, so he turned around and walked towards the edge of the market.

After walking around for a while, I came to a pavilion next to a small pond. I was going to sit on a stone bench and think about the problem for a while, but I didn't expect that before my butt could sit firmly, several more voices came.

"Brother Ye, Brother Qin, Brother Tang, I beg you, please help me just this time. Lend me three hundred spiritual stones for turnover. When I earn the spiritual stones, I will return them to you immediately."

There were four people in the group. The person who just begged was walking at the end of the group. He clasped his fists and bowed to the three people who were walking forward. However, the other three people seemed to ignore him and just moved forward. .

In the end, one of them couldn't bear it and advised him:
  "Brother Zhu, it stands to reason that we are all in the same demon hunting team and have been fighting together for so many years. Now that you have opened your mouth, we should not refuse, but borrowing spiritual stones is always used to buy the Xu family's Meteor Ticket', I'm afraid if this continues, you will be in debt sooner or later."

"No, I just buy a bet occasionally." The man surnamed Zhu was still quibbling, but looking at the three people who glared at him, his voice became smaller and smaller.

"Are you talking too hard? Last time we just came back from hunting monsters in the mountains. The captain gave you fifty spiritual stones to buy spiritual wine to celebrate everyone's safe return. But you were lucky and went straight to the Xujia Baocui Tower with the spiritual stones. , all bought ‘Meteor Tickets’.” The monk surnamed Ye yelled angrily.

"Yes, the captain will kick you out of the team immediately after the incident. If the three of us hadn't begged for you and said good words, you would have been kicked out! And you didn't have a long memory after the incident. The captain had just changed the prey to spiritual stones in the morning. We distributed them, and in the blink of an eye you used them all to buy Meteor Tickets. Tell me, why did you become obsessed with this thing? Also, who have you seen who made a fortune by buying Meteor Tickets? "

The monk surnamed Tang persuaded him earnestly, and at the same time he was very puzzled that he was addicted to this, because the monk surnamed Zhu was not like this before.

"Alas! Now that we have reached this point, let me tell you that half a year ago, my Taoist companion was pregnant."

"Brother Zhu, congratulations. This is a good thing. Why are you sighing?" One person was puzzled.

"When I first heard the news, I was very happy. Casual cultivators like us live a life of licking blood every day. It is really not easy to have a descendant!
  But slowly, I started to worry again. For example, after a child is born, if he does not have spiritual roots, there is nothing to say. He can just send him to the mortal world and let him live a carefree life. But what if the child has spiritual roots? Then you have to consider it for the future.

I don’t want my children to live this kind of life again. I hope that when my children start practicing, they won’t have to worry about resources, and they won’t have to fight monsters for a piece of spiritual stone like we do. But if you want to realize these wishes, you must have spiritual stones, a lot of spiritual stones.

My income is only about three hundred spirit stones a year. As for my Taoist companion, when she went into the mountains to collect herbs in her early years, she fell into a trap by mistake and almost died from a monster. Although she escaped by chance in the end, In the end, the injury was too serious and the lack of timely treatment resulted in the damage to the foundation. The cultivation level has been stuck at the sixth level of Qi refining and cannot be broken through. Moreover, you cannot fight with others for a long time, otherwise the old injury will relapse and you will be in unbearable pain. Therefore, she could only find a job in an inn in the market and earn only six spiritual stones a month.

Even if my Taoist companion and I didn't eat or drink, and saved all the spiritual stones for my children to practice, it would still not be enough, let alone foundation-building pills worth tens of thousands of spiritual stones. I have been troubled by this problem.

It wasn't until the Xu family's "Meteor Ticket" came out that I realized that this might be an opportunity to change the fate of our family. So as long as there are spiritual stones, I will buy them again and again, and then pray for a miracle and look forward to it. If I win the first prize, I can rent a small courtyard by myself and place the Taoist monk there, and I don't have to let her carry a big belly to serve people with tea and water.

I also knew that it would be extremely difficult to win the first prize. I wanted to give up at first, but then I heard that one person from the "Star-Gathering Monster Hunting Team" with whom we went to hunt monsters together won the first prize. He I invested four spiritual stones in two bets, and finally won 20,000 spiritual stones. After knowing the news, my originally cold heart became hot again. I asked myself, if others could win, why couldn't I? From then on, I was like a man possessed. As long as I had spiritual stones, I would use them to buy "Meteor Tickets", and I couldn't stop at all.

I spent all my spiritual stones, so I went to find someone to borrow them, so now I am in deep debt. The loan shark monks who lent me the spiritual stones said that if I don’t return the spiritual stones, they will go to my Taoist companion. You say, I Now how to do? "

Looking at their companions who were in tears, the other three people communicated with the man behind his back, and finally agreed to help him.

"Brother Zhu, we have discussed it. You are the old man of the team. When we first joined the team, we all took care of you, so we decided to lend you these three hundred spirit stones, but we also have a condition, that is, we will be with you. Go find those loan sharks, hand over the spiritual stones to them in person, and settle the matter completely, so as not to hand over the spiritual stones to you and then run out to buy the 'Meteor Ticket'."

"Thank you, thank you fellow Taoists! I, Zhu Ying, swear to God that I will never touch the 'Meteor Ticket' again in the future. I hope you will supervise me! At the same time, I will pay off the spiritual stones I owe you as soon as possible!" Monk surnamed Zhu He said with tears of gratitude.

"Okay, okay, I'm very happy that Brother Zhu can repent. Later, after helping Brother Zhu handle the loan sharking matter, we will go to the restaurant to celebrate. I'll treat you!" The monk surnamed Qin is a generous man and said when he saw this.

"What? Brother Qin is so generous, it seems there are other good things happening?" The monk surnamed Ye asked curiously.

The monk surnamed Qin smiled deeply when he heard this, but he did not speak in a hurry. Instead, he glanced left and right. When he found Xu Zhiyu sitting in the pavilion with his back to them, he was slightly startled, and then sent a message to several other people. I know what I was discussing and went far away.

Of course, Xu Zhiyu heard their conversation word for word, but he didn't pay too much attention to it, and he didn't have any special feelings. The reason why his family issued the 'Meteor Ticket' was to earn spiritual stones. As for some monks, they The Xu family has no control over addiction, depravity, or even madness. After all, this kind of transaction is based on the voluntary basis of both parties. They have not forced other monks to buy. They cannot stop other monks from buying. However, like the situation of the monk surnamed Zhu just now, after all, he is in the minority. Normally no monk would really make a fortune from this.

His thoughts turned around, and he began to think about the Lingxiao Sect's attack on the family again.

Since he came back from Tianluo Pavilion last time, he immediately got in touch with his grandfather, told the story exactly, and asked his grandfather, the head of the Xu family, for his opinion.

Of course, Xu Shengsheng couldn't make a decision on such a big matter alone. After all, it was related to the future fate of the family, so he decisively found the ancestor of the Xu family who was in retreat and relayed everything his grandson told him.

The two Zifu monks of the Xu family discussed it for seven days and seven nights in Xu Deming's cave before finally coming up with a countermeasure. Then Xu Shengsheng sent him the communication talisman without any delay. He had just gone outside the city to get the communication talisman. of.

The countermeasures proposed by the ancestors and grandfathers are divided into two parts. The first is that since the Lingxiao Sect blames them for being too close to Taiyang Tower, in the future, except for necessary interactions, the Xu family must keep a distance from Taiyang Tower. Of course, this is just a superficial phenomenon, and private contacts are still indispensable. If nothing else, the sale of Tiancha copper mine cannot be separated from Taiyang Tower.

The second issue is how the Xu family can move closer to the Lingxiao Sect. There are also two specific measures.

The first is for the family to select three clansmen with relatively good qualifications to participate in the selection of disciples of the Lingxiao Sect, using this move to show their closeness to the Lingxiao Sect.

The three monks finally selected by the family were all of the "successor" generation, one with earth spirit roots and two with three spirit roots. They were all around ten years old. They were all members of the clan who were tested at the last family spirit testing conference.

Xu Deming and Xu Shengsheng went out in person, interviewed three people respectively, and finally promised that the family would be responsible for the Foundation Establishment Pill, and there were still a lot of resources to receive every year, so the three reluctantly agreed.

Because they had more or less heard about the disputes between disciples of powerful sects, and the Xu family was developing at a rapid pace, and the salaries given to the clan members were also very generous, so it was understandable that they did not want to go to the Lingxiao Sect. But for the sake of the family, not only the family had no choice, but the three of them also had no choice.

The communication talisman also said that the Lingxiao Sect's three-year apprenticeship ceremony will be held in three months. The ancestor has already taken the three of them on the road. By then, they will have to take care of themselves and settle them down completely.

The second measure is that the family decided to open a store belonging to the Xu family in the largest Tianyuanfang City at the foot of the Lingxiao Sect's Zongmen Mountain.

In fact, this idea had already come up after Xu Deming broke through the Zifu and the Xu family became the Zifu family. After all, Tianyuanfang City is the largest city in Qin State. It is the dream of countless families to own a shop in it. of.

In addition to earning spiritual stones there, more importantly, you can get first-hand information at any time. No matter what trouble happens, the monks living there are the first to know, and there are complete spiritual objects and all kinds of heavenly materials. With the gathering of earthly treasures, as long as you have spirit stones, there is no common spiritual object that you cannot buy.

However, later, because the Xu family was allowed to build a separate market and moved into the Taiyang Building, the troubles caused by various spiritual objects were greatly alleviated. In addition, the demonic chaos broke out soon after, and the Xu clan was under the influence of their ancestors. Under the leadership of the leader, we went to the battlefield, which was delayed for several years, until now.

This time, he took advantage of expressing his obedience to Lingxiao Sect and opened a store in Tianyuanfang City, which could be regarded as killing two birds with one stone.

However, my grandfather did not specify in detail what kind of store he wanted to open in the communication talisman, but the person to be the store manager had already been chosen, and it was none other than Xu Zhiyu.

As for the reason for choosing him, Fu Zhong also briefly elaborated on it. There are two main points. The first is that the only late-stage foundation-building monks that the family can send out now are him and Xu Shengxiao. However, Xu Shengxiao will go into seclusion to break through Zifu next. Leaving the family was not a wise choice, so he, who had the highest cultivation level among the family foundation builders, naturally became the first choice.

The second reason is because he is proficient in the art of making talismans and is a second-level high-grade talisman maker. A family must have a good skill when opening a store. The talisman he drew is very powerful. After arriving in Tianyuanfang City, it will be very helpful to use it to increase the popularity of the store.

He doesn't resist being a storekeeper. He has previous experience in managing Baocui Building, and he is not afraid of poor management. What he is thinking about now is what kind of new store the family should open. This is what he is like. Either don’t do it, or do it well if you do it.

Originally, opening a magic talisman shop was the best choice, but after thinking about it, he felt that it would be most appropriate to open a grocery store that mainly sells magic talismans and other spiritual items as a supplement, because he does not have that much time to spend on drawing magic talismans. , the most important thing a monk should do is to improve his cultivation.

And if he opens a grocery store, he can bring Xu Zhijuan, who makes alchemy, and Xu Zhisong, who can make talismans, to show off their talents. As for the second-level weapon refiner, the family is not lacking. He plans to bring Xu Zhikai, this The clan brother is not only a second-level middle-grade weapon refiner, but more importantly, he is experienced, honest and reliable. With his assistance, he will have fewer troubles in the future, and maybe becoming a hands-off shopkeeper is not impossible!

As for the waiter in the store, he felt that it was unreliable to recruit from the market. It would be best to bring some Qi practitioners from the family who have poor qualifications and are difficult to break through. When the time comes, the family contribution points will be given more. Don’t worry no one will go.

As for the specific issues, such as the leasing of the store, after getting Tianyuanfang City, we can take it one step at a time. It is useless to think about it now.

After sorting out everything, his originally depressed mood improved. He stood up and moved around. He stood by the pond for a while and looked at the scenery. Then, under the setting sun, he slowly walked towards the center of the city.
