The Xu family follows Taoism and seeks longevity

I feel even more timid when I'm close to my hometown, and I don't dare to ask the visitor!

This poem perfectly describes Xu Zhiyu's current mood.

A month ago, he said goodbye to Xu Zhikai, Xu Zhijuan and others, asking them to guard the store. Then under the protection of Zhenren Ye, he quietly left Tianyuanfang City and went straight to Taoshui County.

He was not afraid that after he left, someone would dare to cause trouble in Yuan Guang Pavilion. The news that he participated in the Lingxiao Sect True Inheritance Trial Tournament and helped Qin Yun become a True Inheritance Disciple basically spread throughout the entire city during the two years of seclusion.

Now his name and that of his shop are very famous, and in addition, Master Chu has also visited Yuanguang Pavilion, which makes those who are ready to move, put away their undue thoughts, a future Jindan Master In addition to the current Jindan Master, there are two Jindan Masters. Who can afford to offend ordinary people?

Before leaving, he also quietly went to Lingxiao Sect, met with Qin Yun, and sent many cultivation resources, but they were all rejected by her. It turned out that the cultivation of true disciples of Lingxiao Sect had already begun, and she did not want to Lack of resources, not only that, she also gave Xu Zhiyu a lot of Lingxiao Sect's exclusive elixirs, which were said to be miraculous for cultivating ninth-level monks to polish their mana. He did not refuse and accepted it calmly. Although the two of them said There is no marriage, but the identity of the Taoist couple has been determined now, and it is appropriate to give each other cultivation resources.

Finally, before leaving Fangshi, he also went to Taiyang Tower. Thinking that since the storage ring originally given to his grandfather was given to Taoist companion Qin Yun, he could not favor one over the other, so he decided to buy another ring for him. grandfather.

Shopkeeper Wu received him personally, and after knowing the purpose of his visit, he introduced to him the various types and prices of storage rings.

It turns out that storage rings are the same as storage bags. According to the size of their inner space, they are divided into small storage rings, medium storage rings and large storage rings.

The small storage ring has a storage space of about five miles. It can only be used for simple storage. Living things cannot survive in it. It is worth about 500,000 to 800,000 spirit stones. This kind of storage ring is generally used by Jindan monks. , of course, the wealthy Zifu monks also use it, but it is relatively rare.

The storage space of a medium-sized storage ring is about fifty miles in radius. Not only can this kind of storage be used, but living animals can also survive in it. If you have a spirit beast, you can put it in it without carrying a separate beast-taming bag. It is very convenient, but This kind of value is much higher, usually around 300 to 4 million spirit stones. This kind of storage ring is usually used by Nascent Soul monks.

As for the large storage rings, there was no inventory in Taiyang Building. Shopkeeper Wu just gave him a brief introduction. He heard that the storage space ranged from hundreds to thousands of miles around, and some could be moved inside. Spiritual veins, monks can enter and practice, it is simply a small world. Of course, such a storage ring is not only extremely difficult to refine, but also rarely exists. I heard that only the Lord Transformation God uses this kind.

What the God-Transforming Lord in the Chixiao Secret Realm gave to Xu Zhiyu was a medium-sized storage bag with a storage space of eighty miles, which was quite valuable. However, the storage ring he got from Master Han Bing was only a small, flowery one. For 1.8 million spirit stones, he bought three small storage rings.

That's right, three! Since it was given to my grandfather, why was it that my parents’ belongings were missing?

Last time in the family communication talisman, his grandfather had hinted in a very subtle way that his parents' current cultivation level had reached the eighth level of foundation building, which was the same level as he before the breakthrough. They were about to break through the Zifu realm, so these two A storage ring was regarded as a gift and a way of expressing his filial piety.

However, when he bought the things and was about to leave, shopkeeper Wu suddenly called Ye Zhenren in the dark. After he appeared, he handed him a storage bag and said that he wanted him to escort Xu Zhiyu home. , and handed it to Shopkeeper Xi of Taoyuanfang City Branch.

Therefore, after the two came to Taoshui County, they did not go back to the Xu family first, but came to Xujiafang City first. However, Xu Zhiyu did not go in with Zhenren Ye, but found a tea stall at the door to drink tea and wait, because He knew that after entering Fangshi, he would not be able to escape immediately. Now he just wanted to return to his family first.

And while he was drinking a bowl of crude spiritual tea with a spiritual stone, two more qi-training monks came next to the small tea stall, and by chance they sat on the table opposite him.

"Hey, isn't this Fellow Daoist Bi and Fellow Daoist Shao? It's been a long time since I last saw you two. Sit down quickly. What would you like to drink?"

When the stall owner saw some business coming to his door, he took a closer look and found that he was an old acquaintance, so he hurriedly greeted him.

"What else can I drink here? Two bowls of tea!" One of the monks named Bi seemed to be in a bad mood and said impatiently.

"Okay, wait a moment, you two, we'll be here soon!"

The stall owner didn't mind either, knowing that this person had such a personality, he turned around and made some spiritual tea.

The monk surnamed Shao sitting opposite saw his companion's cold face and immediately comforted him:

"Third brother, what are you doing? We are so lucky to have escaped with our lives this time! Do you have any objections to me, brother? If you feel unhappy, just say it!"

At this time, the stall owner just came to their table with a tea bowl, filled a bowl for each of them, and then left again.

"Brother, you misunderstood. How can I have any objection to you? It's just that the three of us entered the mountain together, but only the two of us came back in the end. I feel a little uncomfortable!"

"Then who can be blamed? Your second brother invited us to hunt for a first-class monster. But when we got there, we found out after we entered the place that there was actually a second-class low-grade monster inside. If I hadn't used it in time, The life-saving trump card of a second-level low-grade spiritual talisman was delayed for a while. I am afraid that all three of us will be buried there.

After escaping from the monster cave, I said that it was not going well for me to enter the mountain this time, so I might as well withdraw and go back to the mountain after I had rested. However, your second brother ignored my dissuasion and felt that since he went, he had to gain something. , I have to make some adventures.

That’s it, we got lost in the end. The three of us crossed the outer territory of the first-order monsters and walked to the place where the second-order monsters gathered. Your second brother’s fate was not good, and he was eaten alive by a big python. There were no bones in his body. Cun, if we hadn't happened to meet two foundation-building seniors passing by and rescued us, we three brothers would probably have turned into the excrement of monsters! "The eldest brother said bitterly. In his opinion, his second brother deserved to be swallowed by a monster.

The stall owner who heard this quickly came over and whispered to the two of them:

"Fellow Taoist Shao, please speak lower. There are others drinking tea here! Don't keep talking about feces. I heard it just now. Taoist friend Mao passed away unfortunately. Please express my condolences! I just didn't know who saved you two. Are they our local senior foundation builders or foundation builders passing by from other places? How did the last two of them thank them?"

In fact, these two people have been old acquaintances before and have interacted with each other quite a lot. When they saw the stall owner asking a question, the fourth monk surnamed Bi drank all the spiritual tea in the bowl in one breath, smashed it in his mouth, and then answered. road:

"Originally, I didn't recognize those two seniors. They were dressed as casual cultivators, so I thought they were from other counties. I wanted to thank them for saving my life and leave, but my elder brother was well-informed and recognized them at a glance. them."

At this point, he did not continue, but put the empty tea bowl in front of him in the palm of his hand and looked at it, as if there were secret techniques engraved on it. Seeing his appearance, the stall owner didn't understand what was going on, so he immediately took the teapot. , gave the two of them another bowl, then laughed and cursed:

"Okay, Bi Laosi, don't be too pretentious. Can we talk now?" "It turns out that those two seniors were Xu Daoyou and his wife who had just become an affiliated family of the Xu family a few years ago. They were chasing a second-level high-grade animal at that time. The strange one-eyed leopard saw us in danger and rescued us, and then before we could say thank you, the two of them hurriedly chased us out!"

After listening, the stall owner did not leave, but looked at the monk surnamed Shao with some confusion and continued to ask:

"We have heard about the names of Senior Xu and his wife for a long time, but since they became vassals of the Xu family a few years ago, they have been living on the Lingshan mountain assigned to them by the Xu family. I heard that they rarely leave, but I don't know that Fellow Taoist Shao is there again. How did you meet the two seniors?"

"It's like this. After I heard that Senior Xu had become an affiliated family of the Xu family and had not spread its branches, I discussed it with several good Taoist friends and went to visit us together, thinking that a newly established family would have There are a lot of chores to be dealt with, such as spiritual field planting and so on. We should recruit some guests. The few people we went there are all skilled people. They are tired from wandering around in the world of immortality and just want to spend their old age peacefully. , being a guest of the Ji-building family is also a good choice.

But I didn’t expect that although Senior Xu received us warmly, when we expressed our intention to come, he refused firmly and said that he and his wife like to live in seclusion and don’t like to be disturbed. In the end, the few of us just left.

This is also the reason why I recognized the two seniors after seeing them in the Hengduan Mountains. However, I feel that it may be due to hard training. After not seeing each other for only a few years, the cultivation of the two seniors seems to have become more and more advanced, giving people an unfathomable feeling. "Boss Shao said while drinking tea.

Hearing this, Xu Zhiyu raised his head and glanced at the opposite side, thinking: You have good eyesight, your feeling is quite accurate!

It turned out that the Xu couple these people were discussing were none other than Xu Zhiyu's parents. In order to remain anonymous, Xu Zhengyang changed the surname Xu to Xu. As for his mother, there was no change and her surname was still Li.

"It's not your imagination, brother, is it? The foundation-building monks give me the same feeling. They are all very oppressive!" Bi Laosi said after drinking the spiritual tea, looking at his brother.

"Well, what you said makes sense, maybe it's my misunderstanding, but after a while, I plan to visit the two seniors again, firstly to thank them for saving their lives, and secondly to inquire again to see if the two seniors are willing to accept them. We should be worshiping. After what happened this time, I have also looked away. Living is more important than anything else. I am too old to fight monsters anymore, so I might as well find a long-term and safe livelihood and end this miserable life!"

"Brother is right, I also have this idea. Last year I passed the age of sixty, and my hope of building a foundation was shattered. I'd better go into seclusion with you. If I meet the right woman, I might be able to branch out. Loose leaves, it can be said that the cultivation of immortality was not in vain.

However, it was ten days ago that we met the two seniors. It is estimated that they have not returned yet, so we should go again later! "

"That makes sense! Old man Tian, ​​it's time to settle the bill!" After Boss Shao figured everything out, his whole person became radiant, as if he was several years younger.

"Stop shouting, what are you shouting for? I'm not deaf! I'm in a good mood today, so just treat me as a treat and you don't need to pay." The stall owner said in a hoarse voice.

"Okay, thanks!"

Watching the two people leaving, the stall owner just silently put away the bowls they had just used, then wiped the table carefully, and then sat back next to the stove that was boiling water, his eyes dull. Looking in front of him in a daze, he kept thinking about the words of the two brothers just now. You must know that he is older than the boss Shao, already eighty years old, and the idea of ​​​​taking care of himself also appeared in his mind.

It wasn't until Xu Zhiyu shouted the check three times that he woke up, then stood up and apologized profusely, accepting the three spiritual stones handed over to him.

After learning about his parents' current situation, he was both happy and scared. What he was happy about was that his parents could actually hunt second-level high-grade monsters. This meant that not only had their cultivation level soared, but their combat power had not dropped. Of course, this was what they were afraid of. After all, The time for the two elders to build the foundation was still short, and they were afraid that they would be in danger.

Just at this time, Master Ye finished his work and left Fangshi. He collected his thoughts, and after seeing the gift, he hurried back to his family on the fourth-level magic weapon.

"Okay, Mr. Xu, I will deliver you safely. My mission has been completed. Let's go!"

After dropping the magic weapon in front of Xujiashan Gate, Ye Zhenren was about to leave immediately.

"Senior, I have thanked you for your support all the way. Please come in and serve tea!" Xu Zhiyu invited.

"No, I'll talk about it later when I have the chance. I have to rush back to Tianyuanfang City. The Jiazi Auction in Fang City will be held next year. Our Taiyang Building also needs to make preparations early. Shopkeeper Wu has assigned me a lot of tasks. Yes." Ye Zhenren refused.

"Okay, in that case, I would like to send you my seniors' farewell!"

Ye Zhenren nodded, jumped up from the ground, and flew away at a speed invisible to the naked eye. When he came just now, he took a fourth-level magic weapon to carry him. Under normal circumstances, Jindan Zhenren still preferred to fly in the air.

Looking at the family gate that had been away for nearly five years, Xu Zhiyu took out his family identity token and injected it with spiritual power. He saw a passage that could allow one person to pass in the empty place in front of him. He walked in without hesitation. .

As soon as he walked through the passage, two people appeared in front of him. They were the guards of the family patrol. After realizing it was him, they hurriedly said hello to him. Those who do these things now are the young "step" clan members. , the greetings were all from Uncle Nineteen.

"It feels so good to be home!" (End of chapter)
