Taoist companions help me live forever

Zhaojiagou.

The ancestor's mansion.

The peach blossoms are still in full bloom, the fragrance of flowers is wafting in the courtyard, and the pink petals are scattered all over the courtyard in the wind.

under the tree.

Old Ancestor Zhao was lying on a rocking chair, sitting beside him, enjoying the flowers leisurely, as if everything was back to the way they first met.

But if you look closely, you can see that Old Ancestor Zhao has a withered face. His skin that was once breakable is now full of wrinkles, and his white hair has no luster at all, as if he has aged forty or fifty years out of thin air.

His figure was even more emaciated, and his originally well-fitting robe was now completely empty, as if it were wrapped in a skeleton.

He was old and very frail.

The injuries he suffered that night severely damaged his body, and he has not received good treatment so far.

In addition, Yu Xian kept talking to him heart-to-heart in order to get information from him, which made him even more hurt.

A gust of breeze blew by, blowing this still picture.

Yu Xian poured a glass of wine and brought it to Patriarch Zhao's lips, his tone a bit teasing.

"Fellow Daoist Zhao, it's a pity that I'm not proficient in the soul-searching technique, otherwise you wouldn't have to suffer so much."

The Taiyin Transformation Blood Demon Technique is a high-level magic technique. Naturally, it includes not only the cultivation techniques, but also various secret techniques and even several magic weapon refining methods.

The art of searching for souls is one of the secret techniques.

But Yu Xian is usually kind to others, and he just wants to eat and wait for death.

Therefore, this soul-searching technique has not been practiced before, and it may cause people to lose their souls if they are not careful. However, even if this secret technique is successful, it is very likely to turn people into idiots.

Moreover, the soul-searching technique cannot completely obtain the memory of the soul-searched person, at most, it can only obtain some memory fragments.

Ancestor Zhao was already very weak, and Yu Xian was afraid that he would be killed if he searched for his soul, so all the intelligence information was obtained from Ancestor Zhao.

If you ask questions, you will naturally be punished, and it is inevitable to have your heart and lungs ripped out.

As a result, Patriarch Zhao, who was already weak, became even weaker.

But Yu Xian's actions were very measured, allowing him to still hold his breath and survive.

Ancestor Zhao glanced at Yu Xian, remained silent and did not drink.

Seeing this, Yu Xian sighed and said: "Fellow Daoist Zhao, if you don't want to drink this toast, I can only give you a fine drink.

Let me think about how many people are left in the direct lineage of the Zhao family.

By the way, I heard that the second wife just gave birth to a big fat boy. He is only one month old. He is white, fat and very cute. "

Ancestor Zhao's eyes were wide open and his body was shaking. He seemed to be trying to stand up, but he failed after all.

A few streaks of blood flowed from the corners of his mouth, and his voice sounded like a night owl, without the calmness and confidence of the ancestor of the Zhao family in the past.

"Yu Xian, why should the hatred between you and me involve the blood of my family? It's me who wants to kill you. Every injustice has its own debtor, so just kill me!"

Ancestor Zhao thought of the Zhao family bloodlines that had died in front of him in batches these days, all of which were fed to his puppet by the person in front of him.

Endless regret welled up in his heart.

He wanted to pass on the Zhao family bloodline, but he never thought that the Zhao family bloodline would be destroyed because of him.

The wine glass in Yu Xian's hand moved forward an inch and touched the corner of Zhao Laozu's lips.

"Fellow Daoist Zhao, the Zhao family has enjoyed your glory and wealth, and now they will naturally have to pay for your sins.

Stop saying things like this, come on, drink it, this is the soul-reviving wine, it can heal your wounds. "

Ancestor Zhao reluctantly opened his mouth and allowed Yu Xian to drink.

After drinking the wine, a warm feeling spread out from his limbs, and he suddenly felt much more relaxed.

But he knew that he couldn't bear it anymore.

Just the moment he let go, endless regret emerged in his heart - if he hadn't been so stubborn, wouldn't the people who died in front of him these days not have to die?

So what does his persistence that he would rather die than surrender count for.

"Yu Xian, you have entered the devil's path, and the world of immortal cultivation in Shangyang City will not tolerate you in the future!"

At this moment, Old Ancestor Zhao only had the curse left to bring him some solace.

Yu Xian smiled nonchalantly and said:

"Fellow Daoist Zhao, I don't need you to worry about this."

"Let me think about where we should start. Well - let's start with the talisman. This thing makes me really greedy."

Yu Xian turned his palm, and a golden talisman appeared in his palm, with a vivid golden tile on it.

It's just that compared to when Patriarch Zhao took it out for the first time, the light of the bricks has been much dimmed.

Ancestor Zhao glanced at Fu Bao, his eyes showing regret again, but no longer hiding it.

"This talisman is called the Heaven-turning Seal, and it was given by Master Danyang..."

Under Zhao Laozu's confession, Yu Xian quickly understood the origin of the talisman in his hand.

The so-called talisman is Master Jindan's division of his own magic treasure, and it is burned on a blank high-level talisman paper. According to the difference in the secrets of the magic treasure divided by Master Jindan, the talisman contains the power of several strikes of the magic weapon.

For example, the Heaven-turning Seal Talisman contains the power of three strikes.

Ancestor Zhao has used up two opportunities and only has one final blow left.

This method will weaken the power of the magic weapon, so only the golden elixir master who has reached the end of his life will be willing to do this kind of thing.

The power of the talisman is comparable to that of Jindan Zhenren. Once it is used, there is almost no opponent in the foundation-building realm.

The talisman in the hands of Old Ancestor Zhao is his retirement bonus.

Previously, Yu Xian asked him why he didn't sacrifice the talisman when the monster attacked the city. As a result, he was seriously injured and his life span was greatly reduced.

In fact, it's not that he didn't use it, but that he didn't have it at the time.

Danyang Zhenren has been stationed in Shangyang City for a hundred years as ordered by the sect. Now that the hundred years are approaching, Zhenren is about to return to Shangyang Zong.

And he happened to be seriously injured, and even his hair turned white. In such a situation, even if he was willing to leave his family and follow the real person back to Xuanyang Sect to be a boy.

Not to mention that it is impossible for him to give up on the Zhao family.

Master Danyang is a very particular person. He saw that his subordinate Qingfeng had been serving him for many years and was serious about his work. Now that he was going to retire and return home, he gave him the Talisman Treasure Seal to repay the relationship between master and servant for many years.

Ancestor Zhao knew that once the real person left and the new real person Shangzong arrived, the situation in Shangyang City would change drastically.

For example, the Jiang Lin family has deep foundation and strong strength. Even if the new real person arrives, they will still have to rely on their many years of power to stabilize the underlying situation.

As for newly-minted aristocratic families such as the Zhao family, the family's strength depends entirely on one person. Once he dies, the family will inevitably withdraw from Shangyang City.

After all, this is how the Zhao family came to power back then.

In order for the Zhao family to have a perfect escape route, Patriarch Zhao not only began to secretly sell off the Zhao family's properties in Shangyang City, but also treated Yu Xian, who was in charge of the clan, as a hidden danger.

If the Zhao family fails to build its foundation and the leader is weak and the ministers are strong, I will inevitably have to grow bigger.

Coupled with the good development of Zhaojiafang City, the net profit every year is five to six thousand spirit stones.

This profit sounds like a lot. You can save 50,000 to 60,000 yuan in ten years, which is 500,000 to 600,000 spiritual stones in a hundred years, and a Foundation Establishment Pill is only 10,000 spiritual stones.

However, the accounts cannot be settled this way.

Because according to the agreement, half of the five or six thousand spirit stones must be given to Yu Xian first.

Then the various expenses of the clan, including the training subsidies for the monks in the clan, are handled by each house, and in fact there is nothing left.

In the end, when the Zhao family's various industries were calculated as a whole, it would be considered good if the annual net profits could be attributed to a thousand spiritual stones in the family's treasury.

This is still the Zhao family in recent years.

In the past, if four to five hundred spirit stones could be deposited into the Zhao family's treasury every year, it would already be a good year.

After all, public and private matters must be distinguished, and what goes into private pockets cannot be lumped together.

In this case, the three or four thousand spirit stones that Yu Xian takes away every year are particularly eye-catching, as if he alone is equivalent to the income of three or four Zhao families.

If you capture Yu Xian, you will not only not have to worry about him plotting against the Zhao family in the future, but you will also be able to get your profits back.

After hearing this, Yu Xian couldn't help but laugh.

"Fellow Daoist Zhao, it was you who gave me half of the profits with a wave of your hand that day. Now that the market has developed, you think I am making too much."

"But it's okay, now the entire Zhao family belongs to me."

Yu Xian drank a glass of wine, stood up and left.

"Fellow Daoist Zhao, please take a good rest. I will visit you from time to time."

Although Patriarch Zhao said that his relationship with Master Danyang was over, Yu Xian had no intention of taking a gamble.

So it would be best to wait a few more years and let Ancestor Zhao die of natural causes due to his injuries.

In addition, as a quasi-third-level formation mage, Patriarch Zhao still has a lot to learn.

Knowledge is wealth.

Now that the life of the Zhao family is in his hands, he doesn't worry about Patriarch Zhao hiding anything from him.

After he left, the clouds and mist suddenly rose and enveloped the entire courtyard. A vigorous black tiger lay high on the roof, guarding the surroundings like a sculpture.
