The Xu family follows Taoism and seeks longevity

Chapter 344 The eighth floor of foundation building, exciting news (please subscribe!)
  In the blink of an eye, it has been more than a year since Xu's Yuanguang Pavilion opened.

During this period, although I could not say that I was making a lot of money every day, I still had a lot of customers and I made a lot of money.

At the end of the year, the total revenue of the store last year was more than 1,876,500 spirit stones. After excluding the cost of the spiritual objects sold and the salary commission from the clan members, the net profit was about 200,000 spirit stones. Thanks to the talismans drawn by Xu Zhiyu, more than half of the store's income comes from this.

After actual combat testing, his various magic talismans are really very practical and can significantly improve the efficiency of hunting monsters and reduce team member injuries. Finally, with the consent of all members of the "Senbei Monster Hunting Team", Ying Huaiyou and Xu Zhiyu reached an agreement According to the agreement, Xujiayuan Guangge will be the long-term supplier of the demon hunting team from now on.

It is worth mentioning that under his words and deeds, clan brother Xu Zhisong's talisman-making skills have also improved greatly. He is now a second-level mid-level talisman maker. Many of the talismans sold in the shop are now made by him. This It also greatly reduced his workload.

At the same time, thanks to the fact that he brought Xu Zhikai to Fangshi, as his right-hand man, except for particularly important matters that required his intervention, this clan brother would handle everything else. This freed him from having to worry about mundane matters. Lots of time to spare.

He did not waste these free time in vain. He took the barrier-breaking pill given by Wang Changyou as part of the opening ceremony, stayed in seclusion for half a year, and finally broke through to the eighth level of foundation building in one go.

In the room on the third floor, Xu Zhiyu sat cross-legged on the futon, his body covered with a layer of red auspicious light, and sparks floating in the air.

Under the influence of some magical force, these sparks slowly gathered together and turned into a huge red fireball. The moment he opened his eyes, the fireball slowly approached his heart and then merged with his body. For one, this is exactly the characteristic of Lieyan's Soul Control Technique.

"We have entered the eighth floor of foundation building, and we are one step closer to the Avenue of Immortality!"

Xu Zhiyu said to himself, with no joy or sadness on his face. Years of practice have made his mentality more and more peaceful. Now this small breakthrough will not cause his emotions to fluctuate too much, unless It is a breakthrough in a big realm.

However, he has always felt that the kind of skills he is practicing now is not very suitable for him, but the family only has two or three high-level skills. This is the best choice, and it can only be like this for the time being.

Stand up, remove the restraint, and walk out of the door.

Just at this time, there was a muffled sound from the next room, and the room's restraints shook slightly. Seeing this, he immediately stepped forward and knocked on the door.

"Creak!" The door opened, and Xu Zhisong walked out.

"Nineteenth brother, you are out of seclusion!"

Before he could speak, the clan brother asked first.

"Yes, I just came out of seclusion. Brother Eleven, what are you doing?" He asked with concern, looking at his clan brother who seemed to have been burnt by smoke.

"Forget it, the drawing of the 'Xing Yan Talisman' just failed, and the remaining talisman exploded!"

"Brother from the clan has actually started to attack the second-level high-grade Talisman Maker? I admire you!"

This is not a polite statement, but a sincere statement. His clan brother's talent in making talismans is much better than his own. If it were not for the lifelong experience and memory blessing of a third-level talisman maker, he would not be able to make talismans now. His level of talisman making may not be much better than that of his clan brother.

"No, I'm still far from being a second-level high-grade Talisman Maker! Even if I have nothing to do to study, and I really want to make an impact, I won't choose such a difficult one!" Xu Zhisong used a cleaning technique on himself and tidied up his appearance. , and then smiled at him.

"The power of the 'Xing Yan Talisman' is not small. Brother, you must be careful when studying it and don't hurt yourself!"

"I'll pay attention!"

The two chatted as they came to the first floor, and found that the store was doing good business, and monks buying spiritual items were all lined up. However, most of them were Qi-training monks, and not many Foundation-building monks.

Xu Zhikai, who was standing busy behind the counter, saw the two clan brothers appearing. A smile immediately spread on his face. He closed the account book and put it in a large iron box on the counter. Then he came over to receive the gift.

"Brother Eleven, Brother Nineteen!"

"Thank you for your hard work, Zhikai! As the shopkeeper, I should have handled all these chores, but now it's all up to you, clan brother!" He said a little embarrassed.

"What are you talking about, Brother Nineteen? We are all doing our best for the family, who does anything different? You are a heretic when you say this!"

"Okay, Brother Eleven and I just discussed going for a walk on the street. When I come back, I will take over for you. Then you can also practice in seclusion for a period of time. You will stay on the fourth floor of the foundation for a long time. It’s time to break through!”

Xu Zhikai thought for a moment and nodded in agreement. Upon seeing this, the two of them turned around and left the store.

Xu Zhiyu and the two started wandering on the street, and soon they left South Street and came to the more prosperous North Street.

There are various shops on both sides of the street, selling elixirs, magic weapons, monster materials, alchemy materials, talisman-making materials, and various formations. The quality is good and the price is moderate. However, the two of them have no demand, so they just take a look.

The most peculiar thing is a puppet shop. It not only sells finished puppets, but also accepts special reservations. It can specially build puppets for various purposes according to the needs of customers, such as those who serve tea and pour water, and those who tend flowers and plants. But the strange thing is that You can mine spiritual minerals, the kind you can use as a miner.

This made the two of them very interested, because the family's mining of red copper mines used second-level puppet beasts. However, those puppet beasts have been used for a long time and have suffered varying degrees of damage. Although they are still in normal use, But for the sake of the future, it would be a good idea to buy a few heads in advance and take them back to the family for later use. However, after seeing the real thing, the brothers gave up the idea of ​​buying it. It turns out that this kind of puppet beast is very different from the one used by the family now. The kind of puppet beast that the family uses can be used directly by inlaying spiritual stones into the card slot without the monks having to worry about it. However, the puppet beasts sold here must be controlled by monks with their spiritual consciousness before they can be compared. The complicated mining work was more laborious than the tribesmen themselves, so they decisively gave up the idea.

After visiting many elixir shops, weapon refining shops, and the magic talisman shop that they were most concerned about, the two of them also had a clearer understanding of the prices of all spiritual items.

An hour later, the two of them appeared on North Street and were attracted by a five-story brown octagonal attic. Looking from a distance, they saw a lacquered gold sign hanging on the top of the fifth floor with three characters - Water Between the clouds.

As soon as they approached the teahouse, they smelled a strange fragrance. They looked at each other, smiled, and walked in.

It was very lively here, and the lobby was packed with seats. Under the leadership of the waiter, they went to the second and third floors. Finally, they found an empty table on the fourth floor and were placed here.

I ordered two plates of snacks and a pot of good tea. While drinking tea, the two of them listened to the chats of other monks. There were people from all walks of life who came here. Although their news was varied, if you screen carefully, you can still get a lot. of useful information.

What other monks discuss most is about the Demon Sect. This demonic chaos has lasted for about twenty years and has had a great impact on every monk's life. Therefore, the righteous monks are concerned about every move of the Demon Sect. Extra caring.

It is said that since the Demon Cult occupied the Yan Kingdom, it has made no next move and has no tendency to expand outwards. However, the top leaders of the Righteous Alliance will not and cannot sit back and watch the Demon Cult occupy Xuanzhou's external channels. Feng, which is closest to the Yan Kingdom, The country has now assembled dozens of Nascent Soul monks from the Righteous Alliance to confront the Demon Sect, and they may start to do it one day.

After a while, a group of monks suddenly appeared on the fourth floor. Walking at the front was a white-faced, beardless middle-aged man and a plump young woman in a yellow skirt. They both had late-stage foundation building cultivation. Behind them, , and were followed by three monks in the middle stage of foundation building. They were dressed differently. They didn't look like they were from a cultivating family or sect, but rather like casual cultivators.

"Hey! Isn't this Fellow Daoist Wang and Mrs. Wang? But I haven't seen you two for a while. Did the Xian couple go into the mountains again recently?"

The rugged man sitting at a table next to Xu Zhiyu asked with a smile. Listening to his words, it seemed that the two were familiar with each other, but when the man spoke, his eyes kept glancing at the young woman in the yellow dress. This also made the monk named Wang very unhappy. He narrowed his eyes and choked:
  "Who did I think it was? It turned out to be fellow Taoist Kang! You also work in this industry, why are you asking such a childish question? Where are the brothers under this group? If they don't go into the mountains, what will they eat and drink? They can't be like you , let’s do some business without capital by the way?”

When the other monks sitting on the fourth floor heard this, they all stopped what they were doing and turned their heads to the rugged man to see how he would react, because the man surnamed Wang almost said clearly that this man was Jie. fixed.

Who would have thought that in the face of so many pairs of eyes that looked either contemptuous, fearful, or angry, he just smiled slightly, took a slow sip of tea, and chirped back, as if he was savoring the fragrance of the tea, and then said unhurriedly :
  "It seems that Brother Wang has a deep misunderstanding of me. How about this? If Brother Wang can produce evidence to prove that I am a Jie Cultivator, without anyone else having to do anything, I will personally go to the Lingxiao Sect Security and Maintenance Team for review. How about it? Do you have any evidence? "

"Hmph! If you walk a lot at night, you will inevitably encounter ghosts. If you do evil deeds, you will be killed. I advise you to take care of yourself!" The monk surnamed Wang choked and responded with an unhappy expression.

After that, the two parties stopped talking. After a while, the rough man and his group paid and left. When they passed by, Xu Zhiyu smelled the obvious smell of blood from the group of people, and he believed the words of the monk surnamed Wang. At the same time, he asked the clan brother to keep the appearance of these people in mind and try to stay away from them if he saw them in the future.

He clearly saw that before going downstairs, the rugged man glanced greedily at the young woman in the yellow dress, his eyes filled with strong possessiveness.

"Husband, why do you have to have a verbal conflict with such a desperado? If these bastards target us, we will have a headache in the future!" The young woman in the yellow skirt looked at her angry husband and warned.

"Don't worry, madam, my brothers and I are not vegetarians. If he dares to draw attention to our 'Golden Dragon Demon Hunting Team', then I will make him pay the price!" The fair-faced and beardless man obviously didn't take it seriously and was careless. said.

"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore! What happened to what I asked my husband to ask you about?"

Hearing the Taoist monk change the topic, the man put down his teacup, sighed and said:

"Don't mention it, I don't know what's going on? Usually I can't keep a word from my brother-in-law. You don't have to pry into some secrets, he just tells them himself, but this time I brought good wine and good food. , I drank with him all night, but he still didn’t mention that matter. He just asked me to be calm and calm! He said that good news would come soon, and he fell asleep in the end. When I was there, I overheard him talking about foundation building, magic talismans and the like.

When I asked him this morning, he hesitated and said that I heard wrong, and then hurried back. As for the thing you asked me to ask, I didn't get a positive answer, but he told me, Remember to prepare spirit stones. "

"Bang! Brother, this boy Dai Baochuan is so dishonest. When he was still in our 'Golden Dragon Demon Hunting Team', you took care of him so much and even befriended him. In the end, he joined Taiyang Tower, and it was you too. How come the person who helped him become the matchmaker for alchemy in the Taiyang Tower has become disowned by all his relatives?" Another person sitting at the same table slapped the tabletop and said aggrievedly.

"Alas! Maybe he really has something to hide. Besides, when we went shopping at Taiyang Tower in recent years, didn't he try his best to give us discounts?" said the monk surnamed Wang.

"No matter what, Yong'er needs the Foundation Establishment Pill to build his foundation. As a father, you must find a way for him, otherwise he will miss the next Lingxiao Sect disciple selection competition!" The young woman in yellow skirt complained anxiously.

"Madam, don't worry. I will try my best to find a solution for my husband. Besides, Brother Dai didn't say anything to death. We still have the spirit stones ready to see what he says."

These words may sound ordinary to ordinary people, and they can only be regarded as parents' efforts to seek the foundation building pill for their children. However, to Xu Zhiyu's ears, it contains too much information, but the specific situation Anyway, he still needs to inquire carefully to confirm.

"Brother Eleven, let's go!" He suddenly said.

Xu Zhisong, who was sitting opposite him, was listening with great interest, but he was confused by his words. He thought to himself that he only drank one cup of this pot of tea, so why did he leave in a hurry?
  But seeing his serious expression, Xu Zhisong didn't say anything more and followed him downstairs.

When he came to the street, he first sent his clan brother back to Yuanguang Pavilion, and then walked towards Taiyang Tower in the Central District.

To be honest, this was the first time he went to Taiyang Tower after coming to Tianyuanfang City. The main reason for not going was to avoid suspicion, but today he had a reason to go. This was related to whether the Xu family could continue to develop and grow. So after changing his appearance, he stepped into the core area of ​​the Central District.
