The Xu family follows Taoism and seeks longevity

Chapter 319: Bullying goes too far, fight back (please subscribe!)

After learning about the major events that had happened to the family in the past ten years, Xu Zhiyu had just put down the jade slips when he heard a voice coming from the back hall.

"Zhengji, you are now in charge of the family spiritual objects hall. Are the supplies sufficient? There is no shortage of spiritual objects among the clan members, right? If there is a shortage of spiritual objects, inform the family purchasing hall to purchase the needed ones from the market, and then ask the transfer hall to transport them back. Materials are related to the improvement and breakthrough of family monks, so we must pay special attention to this aspect!"

The first thing that came was the voice of the clan leader Xu Shengsheng, who was giving some instructions to the head of the family's Spirit Talisman Hall.

As the family has grown and developed, the original family system has gradually been unable to adapt to the needs. Over the years, Xu Shengsheng has carried out many reforms with the strong support of his ancestor Xu Deming.

For example, in the past, the issuance of family tasks, the redemption of contribution points, the handing in of tasks, and the exchange of various spiritual objects were all concentrated in the family contribution hall, which made the contribution hall bloated and the efficiency of handling family affairs was very low. Point out.

After the reform, the family's original contribution hall was retained, but it was only responsible for issuing contribution points. The original right to issue tasks belonged to the family task hall, and the right to exchange spiritual objects belonged to the family spiritual object hall.

In addition, the family has also established war halls, transportation halls, etc. that have not been set up before, and they all perform their own duties. The rights and responsibilities of each family function are clearly defined, and the efficiency of work has been greatly improved.

"Clan leader, there is no shortage of other spiritual items in the family, and the consumption is not too large. If there is a gap, it can be quickly replenished. But there is one item. The current consumption of the family is too large, and the supply often exceeds the demand."

"Oh? What is that thing that is so popular?"

Xu Zhengji's words not only aroused the interest of Xu Shengsheng, but also aroused the interest of Xu Zhiyu who was listening to them in the hall. Wanting to know what it was, he said in a slightly weird tone:
  "For the Hui Clan Chief, it is a spiritual aphrodisiac, and elixirs such as Dabu San and Huichun Pills. In addition, the kidneys and male organs of various monsters are also very popular."

The expression on Xu Zhiyu's face became very exciting. This was different from his guess. The patriarch, who also felt it was inappropriate, spoke:

"Bastard, which clansmen are these doing this? They don't know how to practice well, but they are addicted to the pleasures of the boudoir. What's wrong if things go on like this for a long time! By the way, are there many clansmen like this in our family?"

"There are quite a few, there are more than twenty clan members, and their monthly salary is basically spent on this."

"How could this be?"

When they said this, the two of them had already passed through the back hall and walked in from the back door. Xu Shengsheng, who was highly cultivated and had strong spiritual consciousness, immediately noticed his presence, but Xu Zhengji, who had been following the clan leader respectfully, did not notice him. , but replied:
  "Speaking of this matter, it has a lot to do with Zhiyu!"

Xu Zhiyu, who originally wanted to salute the two of them, was a little surprised and thought, can this matter still have anything to do with me? But he didn't ask directly. He first said hello to the elders.

"I've met the clan leader!"

"I've met Uncle Twenty-nine!"

From the first moment he discovered him, the smile on Xu Shengsheng's face never broke. When he heard him salute and say hello, he waved his hand and said:
  "No need to be polite, just sit down and talk. Zhengji, please take a seat too!"

Xu Zhengji smiled and nodded at him as a response, and then the three of them sat down. At this time, he could no longer suppress his curiosity and asked immediately:
  "Uncle Twenty-nine, I just heard what you said. The cause of the lack of spiritual objects in the family is actually related to me. I don't know what to make of this?"

"Haha, Zhiyu's ears are really sharp, did you hear all this? Then let me explain. The reason why the male cultivators in the family who are addicted to aphrodisiacs behave like this is mainly because they have practiced the "Blissful Yin and Yang Book", and You brought this technique back, and if I say it’s related to you, it’s not an injustice to you, right?”

Looking at the smiling uncle, he finally realized that this was what he was thinking, but he understood that the uncle was just teasing and did not really mean to blame him, because this matter was not his fault at all.

"Hey, that's it! Yu'er brought this technique home in the first place to give the family monks one more choice, but he didn't expect that these guys couldn't understand the true way of dual cultivation, and they just stayed on the surface and only coveted the pleasures of fish and water. , that’s why it’s like this!”

Xu Shengsheng said angrily, hating these tribesmen as well.

Xu Zhengji echoed with a smile:
  "What the clan leader said is right, but these clan members do not have good spiritual root qualifications. They simply use this method to find fun. This does not violate the clan rules. Therefore, the family has also added many clan members with spiritual roots, and they are also considered as members of the clan. Growth has contributed.”

"Okay, then just keep an eye on this matter. As long as they don't go too far, leave them alone. Anyway, the family salary is their own, and we can't control how they spend it. You inform the family purchasing hall and add The purchasing power of spiritual items in this area is limited!”

Xu Shengsheng calmly took a sip of the spirit tea and said slowly, maybe because he has been in the clan for a long time, his body naturally exudes a strong aura of a superior.

"Yes, clan leader! Then I will resign first!"

He could see that the patriarch must have a lot to talk to his grandson, and it was inconvenient for him to disturb him. Besides, he had other things to be busy with, so he said goodbye.

"Well! Yu'er will send your Uncle Twenty-nine for me!"

"Uncle Twenty-nine, walk slowly!"

After returning from seeing someone off, Xu Zhiyu had just sat down when he heard his grandfather ask:
  "Yu'er, how is the retreat going this time?"

"Grandpa, during this retreat, my grandson has successfully broken through to the seventh level of foundation building!"

After learning that his grandson had made great progress, Xu Shengsheng was overjoyed and said:
  "Okay, okay! Your cultivation speed is so much faster than mine back then! Only my ancestor can rival you! Keep working hard, grandpa is waiting for the day when you become the Purple Mansion!"

"Thank you for your compliments, grandpa. My grandson will definitely not let up! By the way, this is the foundation-building talisman that my grandson drew during this retreat. Please take a look at it!"

As he spoke, he took out the eleven talismans from the storage ring, walked to his grandfather, and handed them out with both hands.

"Whoa!" His hands felt cold. When he opened his eyes and looked again, he found that the magic talisman had disappeared.

Xu Shengsheng held the magic talisman and looked around, as if there was some magic power on the yellow talismans. He was still looking at the meaning, and he was still mumbling something:
  "This is the foundation-building talisman that has the same effect as the foundation-building pill? It's really magical. There are faint spiritual fluctuations on it. Is this why it can help people build foundations?"

However, this talisman was so mysterious that Xu Zhiyu only stayed at the stage of searching for it according to the diagram. How could Xu Shengsheng, who was not a talisman maker, possibly decipher the secret after studying it for a moment?

After looking at it for half an hour, he carefully put away the foundation-building talisman, turned to his grandson and said:

"Yu'er, your magic talisman has solved the family's urgent need!" Hearing his grandfather's emotion, he was extremely surprised and asked:

"Why did my grandfather say this? I remember that in addition to the Foundation Establishment Pills I brought back from Taiyang Tower, plus the Foundation Establishment Pills redeemed with merit points during the last war between good and evil, our family has nearly twenty pills in total. No, Will it all be used up?"

Xu Shengsheng sighed, took another sip of spiritual tea, and then spoke eloquently.

It turns out that during this battle between good and evil, although the Righteous Alliance defeated the Demon Sect, the major forces themselves also suffered heavy losses. The mainstays such as the Foundation Establishment Stage and the Zifu Stage suffered countless losses. The same was true for the Lingxiao Sect, the sect of the Xu family. .

Originally, the Lingxiao Sect had an agreement with subordinate families like them to hold an auction every twenty years and allocate Foundation Establishment Pill quotas to them according to their contribution, thus allowing the family to survive.

But now, because Lingxiao Sect lost too many foundation-building monks in the battle between good and evil, most of the foundation-building pills refined by the sect have been digested internally, and even less has flowed out.

No, the agreed time was originally reached five years ago, but the Lingxiao Sect said it was postponed. There is no accurate information on when it will be postponed.

It stands to reason that a sect as big as Lingxiao Sect always has to take face into account, and it is impossible to act like this. However, after many inquiries, it became clear that Lingxiao Sect was really in trouble this time.

Because this time the demonic disaster broke out in the Qin State, which is the territory of the Lingxiao Sect, the one who contributes the most is the Lingxiao Sect. Although the alliance formation is not small, most of them are the call of the big forces in the neighboring countries in the Jiushi Sect. Under the circumstances, most of those who came to provide temporary support did not contribute much.

I heard that the mortality rate of the foundation-building monks who went to the battlefield in the Lingxiao Sect reached an astonishing 60%. In addition, nearly half of the spiritual objects exchanged for the righteous monks in the War Merit Hall at that time were from the Lingxiao Sect. However, after years of accumulation by the Lingxiao Sect, The consumption is not light, so it is not surprising that this is the last resort.

This is a hardship for affiliated families like the Xu family, but it is not easy for people to cheat them. If the family has a reserve of foundation-building pills, it will be fine, but those families who have one pill and consume one will be miserable. situation.

But Lingxiao Sect is very powerful, so who would dare to say anything even if they are dissatisfied? The low-level monks have suffered a lot, but the high-end combat power of the Nascent Soul stage is not missing. Not only is there no shortage, but there is also a golden elixir perfection monk who broke through to the Nascent Soul stage. The invitations for them to attend the ceremony have already been sent out, and they will have to prepare a generous gift to congratulate them when the time comes.

And according to Xu Sheng, the family's twenty Foundation Building Pills have been almost consumed for a long time. Not to mention anything else, just a few days before he left seclusion, four members of the family had accumulated enough family contribution points at the same time. , exchanged four Foundation Establishment Pills, and now there are only eight Foundation Establishment Pills left in the family's reserve.

After hearing these words, Xu Zhiyu was silent for a long time before speaking:

"Grandpa, how do you plan to use these foundation-building talismans? Are they going to be distributed directly to those tribesmen who need to exchange for foundation-building pills?"

"No, this matter needs to be discussed in the long run. The three of us will discuss it in detail after our ancestor returns to the clan."

"Isn't the ancestor not in the family?"

"No, he and the Zi Mansion forces from several nearby counties went to attend the Baiyi Sect's Golden Elixir Ceremony. You must also know this news."

Xu Shengsheng said affirmatively. The reason why he was sure was because he found that the jade slips on the table recording family events had been moved, and before that only Xu Zhiyu was in the family meeting hall.

"Yes, Grandpa, I have seen the jade slips, but I don't know whether this is good or bad for our Xu family?"

In front of his grandfather, he opened his heart and spoke freely, and he had no good impression of Baiyimen.

"I wasn't sure before, but now I am sure that Baiyi Sect is full of malice towards our Xu family!"

The sudden words came out of his grandfather's mouth, which didn't sound like they were aimless. He quickly asked why.

It turns out that since the Xu family got rid of Xu Zhilian, the traitor of the "Zhi" generation, and passed false news through Xu Zhengyun to confuse the Baiyi Sect, nothing abnormal has happened in the past few years.

However, since the second Jindan Daoist appeared in Baiyi Sect half a year ago, the disciple of Baiyi Sect who was responsible for contacting Xu Zhengyun gave him a new order to keep an eye on the movements of the two foundation-building monks in the family and what their intentions were. It's self-evident.

And not long ago, a new task was assigned to him. It turned out that this time they had carefully laid a trap to lure the family's Zifu monks to take action, and the bait was where a purple sun grass grew.

Xu Deming personally went out to follow the Baiyi Sect disciple who delivered the news to Xu Zhengyun, but found that he did not return to the clan, but entered the Gou family's clan in Yutai County.

This Yutai County borders Taoshui County and had always been under the jurisdiction of Baiyi Sect. Later, the Xu family was placed under the Lingxiao Sect, while the Gou family continued to belong to Baiyi Sect.

Hearing this, he seemed to understand something and analyzed:

"Grandpa, it seems that the Baiyi Sect does not dare to attack directly because of the Lingxiao Sect. Instead, it is planning to arrange the layout through the Gou family under its command, and then secretly help the Gou family to achieve the purpose of weakening or even destroying our senior Xu family. ,Yes or no?"

"Your mind is very fast. My ancestor and I discussed it for a long time before we came to this conclusion. The Baiyi Sect is insidious enough. If this matter is done, the highest combat power of my Xu family will be affected, and I will definitely be defeated by his subordinates." The Gou family slowly eroded away, and finally died out completely."

"But why are the Gou family willing to do this? If this matter fails, we will sue Lingxiao Sect and Baiyi Sect. If we don't say anything for now, their family will definitely be punished!" He asked in confusion.

"Being under the eaves, I have to bow my head. Baiyi Sect has always been cruel to the families under its command. The Gou family probably has no choice. In addition, Baiyi Sect may be tempting us with our vast territory. How can the Gou family disagree? Reason? Yu'er, in your opinion, how should we deal with this matter?" After clearing his doubts, Xu Shengsheng continued to test him.

"Haven't they already prepared a trap for us with great effort? It's not appropriate if we don't take advantage of it. What I mean is to use the trick to teach the Bai Yimen who bullied others too much and the Gou family who are willing to be lackeys a lesson!"

Xu Zhiyu's eyes were filled with murderous intent. Someone had plotted against their family. What was there to say? They must fight back.

"Ancestor and I also have the same intention. After Ancestor comes back, we will make a careful discussion. However, you'd better inform Senior Liu about this matter, so that we can still lend her a helping hand!"

"Grandpa, I'm going to notify Senior Liu right now!"

After the grandfather and grandson finished their discussion, he arrived outside the family formation without stopping and contacted Master Liu according to the agreed method.
