The Xu family follows Taoism and seeks longevity

Chapter 50: Grandfather Xian Bao (please vote for recommendation, please continue to read)
  When Xu Zhiyu came to the top of the mountain and was just approaching his cave, Xu Sheng discovered it. The trace of worry in his eyes also disappeared.

"My grandson Zhiyu wants to see his grandfather." Xu Zhiyu said loudly.

"Come in." A voice sounded very soft but felt like it was right next to the ear. Xu Zhiyu immediately entered the cave.

The cave is not big and very simple, with a table, a few chairs, and a shelf with various weapon refining materials. I saw a person sitting deep in the cave, it was his grandfather Xu Shengsheng.

Xu Zhiyu came to his grandfather, bent down and saluted:
  "Grandson pays homage to his grandfather!"

"Get up." Xu Shengsheng waved out a burst of spiritual power, and Xu Zhiyu was so bent that he straightened up instantly.

"You have been away from the family for three or four years, and you have reached the eighth level of Qi training. It seems that you have not slacked off in your cultivation, but you are still far behind Zhilong. He has already broken through the ninth level of Qi training in seclusion. You still have to work hard to catch up! Xu Shengsheng said with a smile. Although I am satisfied with the progress of my grandson's cultivation, I still want him to feel pressure. Only with pressure can he have the motivation to move forward.

"Grandpa, my grandson has never dared to forget his grandfather's teachings and has never relaxed his cultivation for a moment." Xu Zhiyu replied respectfully.

"Okay, let's talk about it. Why did you suddenly return to the family this time? Did you encounter something in Fangshi? Or something else?"

"My grandson just hasn't seen his grandfather for a long time and missed him, so he came back to visit." Xu Zhiyu said jokingly.

"Well, that's it, okay then! You and I have seen it too, and you don't need to go back to Fang City! It just so happens that the red flame iron ore vein newly discovered by the family is still short of manpower, so you can go and help dig."

"But remember before leaving, go to the Shanggong Hall to pay the family contribution points for the communication talisman. Using the communication talisman without permission is a serious crime. Mining in the Red Flame Iron Ore Vein for ten years will be a punishment!" How did Xu Shengsheng see it? If this kid is joking and dares to tease your grandfather, then I will tease you too.

"No, my grandson is just joking with you. There is really something important to do when he comes back this time." Xu Zhiyu became anxious when he saw his grandfather taking it seriously. He quickly explained.

But as soon as he finished speaking, he saw his grandfather's joking eyes and the slightly upward corners of his mouth. How come you don't know that your grandfather can see through his little tricks?

Xu Zhiyu looked at this old naughty boy who was nearly 150 years old speechlessly. He had no choice but to take out the "Fire Flame Soul Control Art" from his storage bag, hold it in front of Xu Shengsheng with both hands, and said seriously:
  "I got this thing from killing a cultivator, and I asked my grandfather to see it."

Xu Shengsheng looked at his grandson who had become serious and thought to himself that he really didn't know how to be funny. At the same time, I didn't take it seriously when I heard that it was obtained from a casual cultivator. But it was given to him by his grandson, so he took it casually.

"Oh, it's still a jade slip. It seems that you really got something great, Yu'er." Xu Shengsheng looked at the jade slip in his hand and praised it for fear of shocking his grandson too much. In fact, he still didn't pay much attention to this thing at this moment. This is the case for family monks, who have a natural sense of superiority over casual cultivators.

"Grandpa, this is a skill with a high level. Grandson, please ask your grandfather to check the authenticity." Xu Zhiyu looked at the treasure he had worked so hard for, but it was not taken seriously by his grandfather. A little anxious, he spoke.

"Oh? It turns out to be a skill, so I need to check it carefully. By the way, you haven't modified the skill, have you?" This was the first time Xu Shengsheng treated the jade slip seriously.

However, he did not check it immediately, but asked his grandson. Needless to say, the importance of exercises to spiritual practice goes without saying. If his grandson ruins himself because of practicing this unknown technique, it would be terrible news for him.

Xu Zhiyu now wanted to press the technique on his grandfather's forehead, but after thinking about the huge gap in cultivation between the two sides, he still resisted the urge.

"Grandpa, my grandson is not stupid. It is so important to modify the martial arts. How could your grandson make your own decisions without telling your grandpa?" Although Xu Zhiyu looked anxious, he still answered patiently.

"Okay, okay, Yu'er, don't worry, I'll check it out right now." How could Xu Shengsheng not see the anxious expression on his grandson's face. Then he put the jade slip on his forehead.

"Grandpa, take a good look! I would like to see what your old man's expression is after reading it?" Xu Zhiyu thought secretly.

After a moment, Xu Shengsheng's closed eyes suddenly opened, and a ray of light flashed out.

"Ah, how is this possible? This is actually a fire-based skill that directly leads to the ninth floor of the Purple Mansion. It's great, it's really great. There is hope that the Xu family can regain its former glory. This must be Ancestors appear! Ancestors bless you!" Xu Sheng still has the demeanor of a foundation-building expert now, looking crazy, crying and laughing.

Xu Zhiyu was left alone for a long time. He kept complaining in his heart: What kind of ancestors show up and bless them? This is obviously earned by your grandson fighting against others and narrowly escaping death.

But then he thought again, if there was no ancestor, then there would be no Xu family, and naturally there would be no him. Thinking about it this way, what grandpa said is not completely unreasonable. Just like this, his thoughts were wandering, and he thought further and further.

Just like this, the grandfather and grandson, one was ecstatic and the other was in a daze. It wasn't until Xu Shengsheng calmed down that he saw his grandson in a daze. "Yu'er, come to your senses. Tell me how you got this jade slip?" Xu Shengcheng called his grandson gently.

"Oh, grandfather, are you calling me?" Xu Zhiyu, who was awakened by his grandfather's cry, asked.

"Do you think there is anyone else in the cave?" Xu Shengsheng's tone was a little unkind. You must know that this is the third time he has called Xu Zhiyu. I don’t know what’s wrong with my grandson that he can be distracted for so long.

"That's right, Grandpa"

Xu Zhiyu told Xu Shengsheng everything that happened at that time. How he became enemies with Shura Shuangsha, how he was recognized in the market, how he was intercepted and killed, and the battle that broke out with the three of them were all described in detail.

"This Wei family is really determined to kill me. If this kind of thing happened before, my grandfather might tell you to be patient. But this time is different. With this skill, our Xu family is going to destroy him Wei You can do it even at home." Xu Shengsheng said murderously with his eyes fixed on the jade slip in his hand.

"Hey, that's not right! You got such an important thing, why didn't you use the messenger to notify the family as soon as possible? This thing is so important, and you still dare to wander around the market with it. Why are you so big-hearted?" Xu Generation begins to settle accounts.

"Grandpa, the messenger talisman is not 100% safe! If someone intercepts it, our Xu family may face catastrophe. My grandson has to be careful when doing it." Xu Zhiyu defended.

"Don't make excuses. Even so, you can wait until the family transport team returns to the family from Fangshi and go together. Do you know how dangerous it is to travel alone between the family and Fangshi? If you are ambushed, What should I do if I encounter a calamity cultivator?" Xu Shengsheng continued to educate his grandson.

Xu Zhiyu lowered his head and did not answer. But I was thinking in my heart: If anything happens, there is no chance. If I hadn't been clever and changed my route home, I would have been intercepted and killed. Seeing his grandfather nagging him endlessly, although he knew it was for his own good, he still hoped that his grandfather would stop talking.

So he took out the talisman he bought from Baibao Pavilion and had a crack repaired by him. Sure enough, Xu Sheng became silent as soon as he saw the talisman.

As soon as he waved, the talisman flew from Xu Zhiyu's hand to his. I took a look at the talisman that can be used three times. Asked in surprise:

"Where did you get this thing?"

Xu Zhiyu really wanted to say that he had stolen it, but the thought of doing so would make the old man furious. He replied truthfully:

"My grandson bought this from Baibao Pavilion."

"How powerful is it?"

"The eighth time is equivalent to a full blow from a seventh-level monk. The ninth time is equivalent to a full blow from a fourth-level monk. The last time is equivalent to a full blow from a second-level monk." Xu Zhiyu lied. The power of this talisman is weakened. Because the magic weapons sold by Baibao Building in Taoshuifang City are not more powerful than the seventh floor of the foundation building. If the talisman is too powerful, it may change the pattern of Taosha County. This is what they don't want to see.

It wasn't that he was afraid of his grandfather taking it, but he hadn't thought about whether to tell his grandfather that he could repair the cracks in the talisman. After all, this is about his biggest secret.

"It's not that weak. It's very suitable for you to hold a self-defense weapon. Is this what you rely on to return to the family from Fangshi alone?"

"Yes, Grandpa. How could you think that I, my grandson, am so smart that I would take such risks?"

"I'm afraid you will be misled by this cleverness!" Xu Shengsheng said meaningfully. His voice was a little low as if he was recalling bad memories from the past.

"Okay, let's not talk about these things for now. You come with me to see the ancestor first!"

"Yes, grandfather."

The grandfather and grandson left Xu Shengsheng's cave and came to the door of the ancestor's cave.
