The Xu family follows Taoism and seeks longevity

Yuanguang Pavilion, in Xu Zhiyu’s room.

He was really curious as he looked at the clan brother who drank spiritual tea endlessly but said nothing.

"Brother Eleven, you have drank a lot of this spiritual tea. Now tell me, what do you want to see me for?"

"Hiccup!" Xu Zhisong burped, reluctantly put the teacup back to its place, and after thinking for a moment, he said awkwardly:

"Brother Nineteen, during these days as a brother, I have met a like-minded Taoist friend and we get along very well, so I would like to introduce him to you and Zhijuan."

Seeing that his clan brother finally made this matter clear, he was in a good mood, looked at his clan brother with a half-smile, and teased:

"Oh? Since we are close friends of the clan brother, then Zhikai and I can go with you. As a female cultivator, Zhijuan will be inconvenient to go, so I don't think there is any need to go!"

"Uh, please don't. This Taoist friend of mine is a female cultivator, so it's perfect for Zhijuan to go!" Xu Zhisong said anxiously.

"Okay, then let's go tell them that we're closed today, so go and keep your appointment with me, brother!"

"That's not necessary. The time agreed upon by Fellow Daoist Xiao and I is at Youshi. You can wait until the store closes before going!" Looking at his clan brother who was about to get up, he persuaded.

"It seems that my clan brother has already made arrangements, so I'll listen to you!" Xu Zhiyu said with a faint smile.

Next, the clan brother did not leave, but continued to wander around, which made him a little depressed, because he had just agreed to Wu Erben's request, so he had to prepare for the next trip to the secret realm trial. He was originally going to continue developing the Soul-Questing Talisman, but since his clan brother refused to leave, he had no choice but to sit with him.

"Zhiyu!" Xu Zhisong's words rang out again. After hearing his response, he continued:

"It's like this. I am in love with this female cultivator and have made a lifelong commitment. However, he also has a brother who is a compatriot. It seems that he is not willing to marry me, but he wants to recruit me as his son-in-law."

"Bah!" Xu Zhiyu stood up and shouted:

"You've rebelled against him. Regardless of his background, he dares to speak so brazenly that I, the son of the Xu family, will be a useless son-in-law. He is not afraid of the wind blowing his tongue!"

I don’t blame him for being angry, because the Xu family’s ancestors have a temper that has been passed down from generation to generation. Naturally, they will be extremely happy if they have a new child, which means that the family will grow. However, if a member of the clan marries outside, it will be particularly difficult to accept, which means that the population will be lost. , the family's strength weakened.

Xu Zhiyu has been exposed to bad habits since he was a child, so he naturally has the same habit, or even goes beyond it.

Ever since Xu Deming, the ancestor of the Xu family, broke through to the Zifu period and became the Zifu family again, they have always selected suitable candidates from among the casual cultivators to marry Taoist companions for the male cultivators of the family and recruit husbands for the female cultivators. This has never happened before It has happened that members of the clan have married outside the family or married into other families. This has happened even to the Five Spirit Root monks with the lowest qualifications.

"Brother Nineteen, please calm down. My brother is also from the Xu family. How could I agree to his unreasonable request? I refused on the spot. His brother asked her to bring me a message and ask me to meet. I was unsure, so That’s why I thought of asking you to come with me.”

Xu Zhisong is in a dilemma now. Although he has a soft spot for that female cultivator, he does not want to agree to the conditions proposed by his brother because his family is not kind to him. The Foundation Establishment Pill is provided by the family, although he has paid accordingly. Contribution points to the family, but that’s not how the accounts are calculated!

Not to mention that after the foundation was established, the family not only greatly improved the family treatment, but also increased benefits in various aspects, allowing him to practice without any worries, and without those bullshit troubles, which caused him to be dissatisfied with the Xu family. The sense of belonging is extremely strong.

And there is a guess in his mind, that is, there are two elders in the family who have established the Zi Mansion. When the ancestor established the Purple Mansion, he was still a Qi-training monk and did not know what was going on at that time. However, after the foundation was established, out of curiosity, he went to the clan uncle who had first established the foundation. After asking the clansmen of his generation, he learned that the old ancestor Zu luckily broke through the Zi Mansion with the help of a incomplete purple qi talisman given by Baiyi Sect.

He had no doubts about this matter, thinking that it was the blessing of his ancestor's spirit in heaven that allowed his ancestor to build the Zi Mansion and resolve the crisis of genocide when the family's life and death were at stake.

But more than ten years later, the clan leader actually successfully broke through to the Zifu realm, which left him a little confused. He only understood the difficulty of breaking through the Zifu realm after building the foundation. It was no less difficult than practicing. Qi breaks through the foundation building, even more than that. Without the help of the legendary Ziyang Pill or Purple Qi Talisman, the success rate is frighteningly low, and it is almost like committing suicide.

The last time the ancestor made a breakthrough was with the broken purple energy talisman. It is absolutely impossible for this talisman to accumulate enough purple energy for the purple mansion to break through in more than ten years. It is even impossible to think about it. So the question is, what did the patriarch use to successfully break through? Ziyang Pill seems unlikely. The Xu family does not have the channels or ability to obtain that kind of pill.

What he didn't expect was that the mystery had not yet been solved, and then there was news that another senior member of the family was also preparing to retreat and break through the Zi Mansion, which made him make a bold guess. , the family must have a stable channel to obtain spiritual objects that can break through the Purple Mansion. Although he cannot confirm this guess, he is extremely sure.

In addition, his qualifications are not bad, and he is also a second-level Talisman Maker. He can definitely earn a lot of family contribution points, which can be exchanged for the 500,000 family contribution points for Zifu spiritual objects. After he upgrades to a second-level high-grade Talisman Maker, he will never sleep After endlessly drawing the talisman, it will probably take about thirty years to complete.

Therefore, he has an extremely bright future if he stays in the family, and he is not stupid. Why would he go to someone else's house to marry into another family? Isn't that crazy?

"Brother Eleven, what are you going to do if someone insists that you get married, otherwise they won't let your sister marry you?" Xu Zhiyu asked half-tested.

Hearing this, Xu Zhisong gritted his teeth and said:

"Hey, then pull him down! Why should a man be without a wife? I am also a seven-foot man. I don't believe that apart from her sister, there is no other Taoist companion. Nineteenth brother, don't worry, I will not leave Xu My family has been so good to me, how could I be ungrateful and betray my family?"

What he said was so upright and so convincing that it was hard not to believe it. However, Xu Zhiyu felt that there should be other reasons for this, but since others had made their position clear, he had to take a stand.

"Okay, Brother Eleven, since you said so, then I will definitely try my best to help you and let you embrace the beauty! Okay, now you can also introduce the other person's situation. Only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you be successful. Be victorious!"

It turns out that the female cultivator Xu Zhisong met and fell in love with was named Xiao Xue, who was also a local in Yongzhou. Her ancestors once had monks and joined a small sect in their hometown. Later, when she returned home, she accidentally discovered that she had a spirit in her body. Xiao Xue brother and sister, who were born in the sect, wanted to take them into the sect and train them, because both of them had good qualifications and had the potential to build a foundation.

But he never expected that just when he left the sect, hostile forces attacked the sect. After he took the two of them back, he was surprised to find that the sect had long been razed to the ground. There were ruins everywhere. Seeing this situation, he could only take his two brothers and sisters to wander around the world of immortality. Fortunately, he also had a talisman-making skill learned from the sect. The three of them were not as embarrassed as ordinary casual cultivators. On the contrary, they were doing well and found a small town like the Xu family to take root.

With good qualifications and his careful training, Xiao Xue brother and sister grew up very quickly. They both reached the perfection of Qi refining when they were about forty years old. Finally, they used all their means to get a place in the secret realm trial of a local Jindan sect. I got a lot of foundation-building auxiliary medicines and exchanged them for two foundation-building pills, and both of them successfully built the foundation.

Not long after, he died. The brother and sister buried him at the old site of the sect. They also left the city where they had lived since childhood and came to Tianyuanfang City to work hard. With their craftsmanship, they He opened a magic talisman shop outside Fang City.

Xiao Xue's elder brother is named Xiao Feng. Because he has been cared for by his ancestors since he was a child, and he feels that he and his sister are alone and weak, he has always wanted to build a family, but he has never encountered a good opportunity. However, Xiao Feng has made a lot of preparations, that is, he has taken in many wives and concubines, and has given birth to more than a dozen offspring, including three with spiritual roots, and all of them have good qualifications.

The matter of establishing a family took a turn for the better three years ago. In the northernmost part of Yongzhou, there was a newly established Jindan Sect. Feeling that there was no barrier between their sect and the Hengduan Mountains where monsters gathered, the sect's safety was not guaranteed. Therefore, there was an open recruitment for affiliated families. Xiao Feng seized the opportunity to sign up and defeated a large number of competitors. In the end, he got a second-level low-grade spiritual vein and an open territory with a radius of thousands of miles.

Because the lease period of the shop had not expired, in order not to lose the rent in vain, Xiao Feng left his sister in Fangshi to take care of the Lingfu shop, while he took his Taoist companion and children to live on Lingmai and began to develop and manage the land.

This also gave Xu Zhisong an opportunity. At an accidental gathering of Talisman masters, he met Xiao Xue. As the number of contacts increased, the two deepened their understanding and developed a good impression of each other. However, Xiao Xue was worried about his brother's attitude, and kept telling Xu Zhisong not to tell the clan members about this in a hurry.

But the fire cannot be contained in the paper!

Xiao Feng calculated the time and knew that the lease of the store was coming soon, so he came to pick up his sister and happened to bump into Xu Zhisong who was sending Xiao Xue home.

At first, Xiao Feng was happy to see things between the two of them work out because he thought Xu Zhisong was a casual cultivator. However, when he learned that Xu Zhisong was a family cultivator and wanted to marry his sister away, he was immediately furious. He was so angry that he drove him out of the house without explanation, and said that he would not discuss the matter unless he agreed to marry into the Xiao family.

It's no wonder that Xiao Feng was angry. Because the family was just established, he and Xiao Xue were the only two foundation builders in the Xiao family. Originally, he expected his sister to recruit a foundation builder husband to help him take care of the Xiao family! Now not only has his hope of finding a wife been shattered, but he may not be able to keep the girl, so how can he not be angry?

In the end, Xiao Xue and Xu Zhisong came together and decided that this matter could no longer be hidden from other members of the Xu family. It would be best for both parties to sit together and discuss a solution.

Finally, under Xiao Xue's persuasion, Xiao Feng finally agreed to have a frank talk with the Xu family. After Xu Zhisong got the news, he hurriedly informed himself and discussed countermeasures with himself.

After hearing the ins and outs of the incident, although Xu Zhiyu expressed admiration for Xiao Feng's courage to found his own clan and become an ancestor, it was about his clan brother and the dignity of the Xu family. He could not make principled concessions. However, in other aspects, he could not make concessions in principle. It's not that it can't be discussed, he made a decision to induce him.

Time soon came to night, and after the shop closed, the four Xu family members put on brand-new family-style robes that they had never worn since arriving in Fangshi, and walked side by side towards the agreed-upon location with neat and uniform steps.

When I came to the place, I saw that this was a teahouse. It didn't look high-end, but I didn't come here specifically to drink tea today. Of course, it was impossible to find fault. Under the leadership of Xu Zhisong, several people came to an elegant room and found that The other party hasn't come yet.

"Brother Eleven, Zhikai, Zhijuan, please try not to talk later, I will negotiate with her brother!" Xu Zhiyu ordered, if the Xu family sends a representative, then he will do his part.

"Understood!" the three of them said in unison.

Not long after, Xiao Xue led Xiao Feng into the elegant room. She first made eye contact with Xu Zhisong, and after seeing his reassuring look, she quickly lowered her head, feeling reassured.

"Is this Fellow Daoist Xiao? I have long admired your name. I am lucky enough to meet you today. It is indeed well-deserved! Come on, please take a seat!"

Looking at the two similarly handsome faces in front of him, Xu Zhiyu smiled and held his hands.

Xiao Feng was obviously not in a good mood as he was. He just returned the gift without replying, and without being polite, he just sat down at the front seat, then hugged his arms and said nothing.

After that, Xu Zhiyu tried his best to persuade him to marry his sister to his brother, but no matter how fancy and eloquent he said, Xiao Feng kept saying the same thing over and over again: the girl will not marry anyone else.

He had no choice but to use his trump card and said with a smile:

"Brother Xiao, what you are afraid of is just that after my sister gets married, you, a foundation-building monk, will be unable to support yourself, right?"

"Brother Xu is asking questions knowingly. Our Xiao family is just starting out, unlike the aristocratic family that has a big business. Losing a foundation-building monk is like the sky and the earth falling, and the building is about to collapse. I hope Brother Xu can understand my difficulties!"

"Be considerate, of course you have to be considerate!" He smiled, and at the same time moved his body in the direction of Xiao Feng, and then continued:

"I heard that Brother Xiao's eldest beloved son has extraordinary aptitudes and has now reached the seventh level of Qi training? I think he will be building a foundation soon. I wonder how the preparations for the foundation-building spiritual objects are?"

After hearing this, Xiao Feng, who had always had a lazy attitude, became serious. He looked at him seriously and asked:

"Brother Xu, what do you mean by this?"

Xu Zhiyu's words touched his heart. This was also a concern of his. Whether a family could survive was closely related to the foundation-building spiritual object.

"My dear brother, I happened to get two newly launched foundation-building talismans from Taiyang Tower through special channels. I was originally going to ask someone to take them back to my family, but I didn't expect that I happened to meet up with my sister-in-law and my family brother, so I am borrowing flowers to offer to Buddha. I gave these two spiritual talismans to my Taoist friends, and Quan immediately hired me, what do you think?"

These two talismans were given to him by Shopkeeper Wu when he went to Taiyang Tower last time to inquire about the Dripping Blood Hall. He didn't want them at first, but he couldn't resist Shopkeeper Wu's push and give, so he had no choice but to spend a while. I bought the Zhang Ling Talisman for 60,000 spirit stones and planned to take it back for research to see if there is any difference between it and the foundation building talisman I drew.

When he saw the two foundation-building talismans on the table, Xiao Feng's eyes widened. Xu Zhijuan and Xu Zhikai were also very moved and wanted to speak to persuade him, but he stopped them with his eyes.

"Okay, now that it's all said and done, it would be disrespectful if I didn't agree! I have no objection to their marriage, but I hope you will take care of Xue'er when she marries into your family in the future!"

Perhaps for the sake of the foundation-building talisman, or for other considerations, after putting away the talisman, Xiao Feng happily agreed to marry his sister, and the two parties quickly agreed on an auspicious day to hold the wedding for the two of them. . (End of chapter)
