The Xu family follows Taoism and seeks longevity

Chapter 7
  Nanfeng Mountain, inside the cave.

I saw Xu Zhiyu sitting cross-legged on a futon with his eyes slightly closed. He circulated his spiritual power for several weeks according to the exercise route in his mind. The spiritual power in his body gradually increased and slowly moved closer to his Dantian.

After another hour, his eyes suddenly opened, his palms formed seals, and he shouted: "Give it to me!"

Under his control, an invisible spiritual power slowly gathered in the Dantian. After a moment, a muffled sound came from the Dantian. Immediately, a trace of coolness spread along the muscles and veins throughout the body, making everyone feel particularly comfortable.

Xu Zhiyu murmured "Success!"

However, the aura all over his body was still a little buoyant, which had something to do with the fact that he had just made a breakthrough. This time, he mobilized all his magic power to attack the bottleneck of the sixth level of Qi training, and there was still an element of luck.

Having just broken through to the sixth level of Qi training, he felt that his whole body's energy and spirit had risen to a whole new level. Although it was not a complete transformation, it had also ushered in a transformation. At this moment, he only felt that his hands were powerful.

"After this breakthrough, there will definitely be no breakthrough in cultivation in the short term. It seems that I have to go out for a walk. Cultivation is not just behind closed doors. You have to communicate with others and grow in battle!" He thought in his heart.

When it was discovered that his spiritual roots were good, the family elders also asked him and his sixth brother Xu Zhilong if they would like to go to Baiyi Sect to practice. After careful consideration, they both refused.

Xu Zhiyu didn't know what Sixth Brother was thinking. He just didn't want to go. Although Baiyi Sect was a big family, there would be a better cultivation environment there. But if you compare it carefully, it's not necessarily much better than the family!

First of all, he comes from a family background. Although his spiritual talent is considered good in the Xu family, among the thousands of disciples of Baiyi Sect, it is nothing. I heard that the Three Spiritual Roots are just the threshold for accepting disciples, and he has just reached the standard!
  Secondly, there are too many intrigues in the sect. Of course, this does not mean that there are no such things in the family, and everyone is in harmony. But at least the family has the same surname, so this kind of thing is always much rarer. At least fairness can still be achieved on the surface, not to mention that his grandfather is still a foundation-building monk, so he should not suffer unfair treatment.

Another thing is that although Baiyi Sect has many cultivation resources, it also has many monks, which means that competition in the sect is fierce. People may be fine in the morning, but by night they will be dead. This is not an exaggeration of the facts, but a real reality. It is impossible to guard against it, with overt and covert attacks.

It's different when you stay in a family. There are people who will teach you how to practice. If you don't understand something, you can ask the family elders for advice anytime and anywhere. Not to mention that there is a novice protection period. In theory, you don't have to take on family tasks before you are twenty years old. You will also receive a salary every month. The monks only need to work hard to practice.

In addition, the family also provides support for monks to learn the various arts of cultivating immortals. That is, when a clan member decides to learn a certain skill, the family will provide some raw materials to practice, although the quantity will not be too much.

There will also be people who are responsible for giving guidance, but the premise of all this is that you must be qualified. If the qualifications are not good, then everything is in vain.

With this thought in his mind, he stopped meditating. Prepare to consider whether to practice a skill, such as alchemy, weapon refining, talisman making, etc.

In the end, he decided to choose the weapon refining technique, and there was a reason for this choice. His ancestors passed down the art of refining weapons and had a profound theoretical foundation. There were also a large number of weapon refining masters who could provide him with help. In addition, the family's subsidy for weapon refining is considered to be the strongest, because it is a family tradition, and the family attaches great importance to it, so it is understandable that they invest more.

After making up his mind, he came out of seclusion! I have just come out of seclusion, and I haven’t had time to enjoy the fresh air outside and relax the depressed mood caused by long-term seclusion.

"Xiaoyu, have you successfully broken through to the sixth level of Qi training?"

While Xu Zhiyu's thoughts were swirling, a voice suddenly came into his ears.

Xu Zhiyu knew it was his father's voice without having to think about it, because he was so familiar with this voice. Looking in the direction of the sound, sure enough, sitting at the stone table under the mulberry tree, was a rather majestic-looking middle-aged man. At this moment, Xu Zhengyang was looking at his son with approval, and his eyes flashed from time to time.

"Yes, father, I have broken through to the sixth level of Qi training." Xu Zhiyu answered with his hands raised.

Xu Zhiyu didn't know if it was because he was dazzled. Sometimes he felt that his father, who looked a bit majestic in front of him, gave him a weird feeling. The remaining dignity was exuded unconsciously because of his status as a father.

"But you'd better accumulate more and settle down your cultivation. Don't rush to break through the seventh level of Qi training. Your Qi is not stable enough. At this stage, you must lay a solid foundation." Xu Zhengyang urged again.

"Remember your father's teachings, my child understands." Xu Zhiyu said respectfully.

"Here, take this. Consider it a gift to congratulate you for breaking through the sixth level of Qi training!" Xu Zhengyang handed over a storage bag.

"what is this?"

"Keep the few cultivation resources your mother and I gave you!"

"Father, you and your mother also want to practice. How can your son ask for something that belongs to your two elders? Besides, the family has always paid salaries. My son's cultivation is enough, so I forgive him for not accepting it!"

"Take it, your mother and I have poor qualifications, and these things are wasted on us. We are counting on you. Take it and practice hard!" Xu Zhengyang couldn't help but stuff the storage bag into his son's hand, and patted his son. said the shoulder.

Xu Zhiyu felt that his heart was heavy, heat was rising, and tears were about to burst out of his eyes. It's just that he is no longer the young man in his previous life. He took a deep breath, and the tears that were about to burst out returned to the depths of his eyes.

"Father, how are you and your mother in Fangshi?" Xu Zhiyu asked again.

"Everything is fine, it's just that your mother always talks about you!" Xu Zhengyang replied.

Don't you want to, Xu Zhiyu thought, but when he said it, he turned into: "A child is unfilial and cannot fulfill his filial piety in front of his parents! Please tell your mother that the child will go to Fangshi to visit you two elders as soon as he has time."

"Okay, don't act like a child. Before coming to see you, I went to see your grandfather. Your grandfather told me that if you make a breakthrough, he will let you go to him. He has something to say to you. Say. He should be waiting for you in his cave now, so go quickly!"

"Yes, father, the child has resigned and is going to see his grandfather now."

"Okay, I'm relieved to see you successfully break through. The family's transport team to Wangfang City will be leaving later, and I will go with them. You don't have to worry about me anymore. Practice well!"

Xu Zhiyu bowed respectfully to his father, used his body skills, and swept towards the top of the mountain.
