I use my supernatural powers to prove my immortality

Chapter 229 Return to Taoyuan Zhong Clan
call out!
As a sword light cut through the sky, a beam of light quickly left Baiyun Temple.

After arriving at Floating Cloud Fairy City, he headed straight for the Wuling Mingjing Tower hub, and the figure quickly traveled at high speed through the underground channel.

The owner of this escaping light was none other than Zhong Lixiao himself in disguise. His destination was the clan land of the Zhong family in Taoyuan, Taiyang County.

The reason why Zhong Lixiao chose to return home at this time was that, in addition to achieving the golden elixir and refining the magic weapon, he had the preliminary qualifications to "return home in glory".

What's more, time flies, and it has been thirty-three years since he left his family to become a disciple at Baiyun Temple.

It’s been more than 30 years. In this day and age, a man can even call himself an old man.

Even for immortal cultivators, this is not a short period of time.

The faces of his parents and many other tribesmen emerged uncontrollably in Zhong Lixiao's mind.

It is said that those who practice Taoism must cut off their worldly ties, but in fact, those who practice Taoism are not heartless beings.

Even if you want to cut off worldly ties, you don't have to do it yourself.

because.

Time is the most ruthless knife in the world. As long as one's cultivation level cannot continue to break through, no living being can avoid being struck by this knife.

It is more timid to be close to hometown, and I dare not ask people.

Perhaps it was because of the underground highway, or perhaps it was because he was eager to return home, but this time he returned home much faster than Zhong Lixiao had imagined.

Still at a relatively long distance from Taoyuan Valley, Zhong Lixiao saw an unfathomable white fog in the distance.

Beyond the misty white fog, there are several densely distributed villages of varying sizes.

With just one glance, Zhong Lixiao could see the difference from the past.

Compared with the past, the range of the white mist created by the formation has obviously expanded a lot more outward.

As for the village right at the foot of the mountain, there had never been one before.

but.

Just from these two small details we can see the prosperity of the Taoyuan Zhong family!
Zhong Lixiao quietly used his spiritual sense to scan and sensed all kinds of humans in the many villages and towns.

But most of them were strangers. Even after searching twice, he still couldn't find a familiar face.

Instead, in a private school where many children gathered, an old teacher was spotted teaching many children knowledge while shaking his head.

"Don't you dream every day of awakening your spiritual roots, being selected into the valley, and becoming an immortal who can fly on clouds? With your attitude towards learning, don't dream. If you don't study well, let alone cultivate immortality, you won't be able to understand a secret manual of divine skills that falls from the sky."

In the classroom, many children were unhappy about being scolded, but most of them were afraid. They all stood straight, looking unwilling to be the barbarians who couldn't even understand the secret manual.

When Zhong Lixiao saw this, he couldn't help but feel a little funny.

This old man is really good at deceiving children.

Whether you can practice cultivation is decided at the moment of reincarnation. What does it have to do with whether you study hard and practice calligraphy?
but.

Zhong Lixiao did not think there was anything wrong with the lie that came out of the old man's mouth.

In his opinion, even if these children could not embark on the path to immortality by reading and writing, it would be good at all if they could learn more culture because of their dream of cultivating immortals.

When these children grow up in the future, they will surely understand the good intentions of this old teacher.

It is not difficult to see from this private school that the Taoyuan Zhong family basically controls the right to select talents in the towns near Taoyuan Valley.

As long as the children have spiritual roots and are qualified to cultivate immortality, they will be considered as reserve talents of Taoyuan Zhong family in the future.

This discovery made Zhong Lixiao very happy!

Zhong Lixiao walked into the village with a swagger, observing everything in the village with curiosity.

Everything around him was new and unfamiliar to him, just like traveling to a strange place.

It's an indescribable experience!
It’s not too good, but it’s not too bad either.

Even the many beliefs about the mountain goddess that he often saw did not surprise Zhong Lixiao too much.

The core reason is that the belief in the Mountain Goddess has expanded rapidly in recent years.

On the one hand, it was because of the strong support of the Taoyuan Zhong family, and on the other hand, it was because the Mountain Goddess was deified, so it was indeed very easy to get the support of the people.

After all, who wouldn’t want to have a mountain goddess in this world who could save the world and protect the people?
Zhong Lixiao even knew that with the widespread spread of the belief in the Mountain Goddess, a lot of earthy honorifics had been derived on this basis.

of course.

The most important reason why the belief can spread so quickly is that the mountain goddess is really effective.

You may not believe it, but now many believers go to the temple of the mountain goddess even to pray for children.

You should know that the Mountain Goddess has never claimed any authority related to "giving birth".
The tour of the village was completed quickly, and then Zhong Lixiao easily entered the fog.

The fog is an illusion, and its greatest effect is like a "ghost wall", so it naturally cannot deceive Zhong Lixiao.

As soon as he entered, the first thing that caught his eye was not the rows of peach trees in his memory, nor the colorful falling petals and the alluring peach fragrance in his memory.

It is completely different from the Taoyuan Valley in Zhong Lixiao's memory.

Looking around, there are rows of houses lined up one after another.

The number of people coming and going is far greater than when he lived in Taoyuan Valley.

But these faces are almost all unfamiliar.

Soon, Zhong Lixiao knew the identities of these people.

The people living in this area are basically peripheral members of the Taoyuan Zhong family.

The maids, guards, and outer sect members who were being examined were basically all selected from the best of the villages and towns at the foot of the mountain.

Afterwards, Zhong Lixiao saw an instructor teaching some young boys boxing techniques in a training ground.

The instructor's voice was very loud and powerful. "Whose food are you eating?"

"Taiyang Zhong family."

"Whose wages are you getting?"

"Taiyang Zhong family."

Zhong Lixiao was stunned.

It turns out that without anyone noticing, the "Taoyuan Zhong Family" has been changed to the "Taiyang Zhong Family"?
Oh no, it seems that Zhong Lixiao has become a conservative!
Although everything indicated that the Taoyuan Zhong family was becoming greater, Zhong Lixiao couldn't help but feel that the place where he grew up was beginning to become somewhat unfamiliar.

I have to admit that after the family prospered, the atmosphere was indeed completely different from the past.

The area of Taoyuan Valley in his memory had expanded at least several times, and new houses and fields were built one after another.

From the outside to the inside, everything you see has a sense of grandeur and magnificence.

The newly opened spiritual fields, the newly built houses, the newly dug fish ponds, the newly planted peach trees, everything is new!
It is almost difficult to find the things that made him feel familiar in the past!
of course.

Perhaps all this is new only in his heart, after all, more than 30 years have passed.

Even the "new peach tree", "new house" and "new pond" in his eyes have actually been around for quite a few years.

The peach trees are at least as thick as a bowl, and are laden with fruits.

You can even see a lot of moss on the houses, as well as many traces left by wind and rain.

Especially the "five ridges and six beasts" on the roof, which have some traces of wind erosion.

As for the "new pond" in his eyes, big fat fish jumped out of it from time to time.

It is obvious that these big fat fish have been farmed for many years.

Seeing everything in front of him, Zhong Lixiao suddenly felt a sense of regret that time did not stop for him!
In the end, Zhong Lixiao no longer had the interest to savor the memory and went straight to the place where his mother lived in his memory.

As he walked, all kinds of memories about his mother came flooding back to Zhong Lixiao's mind, as if it was just yesterday.

Then Zhong Lixiao discovered that the place where his mother used to live had also been renovated.

To be more precise, it's more like starting over again.

The relatively plain courtyard before has now become more like a palace.

It is magnificent and majestic, and from time to time one can see all kinds of extremely precious treasures and rare flowers.

Guards patrolling the roads can be seen everywhere.

I have to admit that the scenes before his eyes were indeed very unfamiliar to Zhong Lixiao.

Zhong Lixiao even frowned subconsciously, but after sensing his mother's breath, Zhong Lixiao still walked inside with firm steps.

Soon, Zhong Lixiao heard a burst of laughter.

Of course, there are more sweet laughters from girls.

Isn't it appropriate to go in now?

Zhong Lixiao quietly used his spiritual sense to scan and indeed saw his mother inside.

At this moment, she was sitting at the top, looking radiant, and there were rows of very young and beautiful women sitting around her.

They called their mother "old lady" all the time, and their words were full of flattery, which made their mother very happy.

When Zhong Lixiao saw this, he felt an unprecedented sense of unfamiliarity.

but.

Zhong Lixiao couldn't help but look at his mother again and again. Only then did he realize that his mother, who was enjoying the family happiness with her children around her, was indeed very happy.

In addition, more than thirty years have passed, and although time has left many traces on my mother's body, she is a cultivator after all, and there is no obvious sign of aging on her body.

Compared to the past, perhaps the biggest change in temperament is the dignity and wealth.

The former comes from family background and upbringing, while the latter comes from family wealth and confidence.

Seeing these scenes, a smile of relief appeared on Zhong Lixiao's face subconsciously.

This may be one of the reasons why he has been seeking the truth tirelessly for decades!
because.

As his cultivation improved, his mother's anxiety disappeared, her once cautious "small-mindedness" disappeared, and even her spine became straight. Zhong Lixiao was very relieved!

After watching his mother as a bystander for a long time, Zhong Lixiao suddenly felt that the so-called "Taiyang Zhong family" was not unfamiliar to him at all.

As long as our parents are here, this is home!
I don't know how much time had passed, but the small gathering of many women at my mother's place finally came to an end.

Zhong Lixiao then seized the opportunity and released his aura.

Li Yi was stunned for a moment, but then he was ecstatic and flew out excitedly.

After seeing Zhong Lixiao's face which was almost the same as before, Li Yi was suddenly so excited that he could hardly control himself.

"Xiao'er, are you back?"

Zhong Lixiao hurriedly went to greet her, bowed deeply and said, "Mother, my son is back!"

Li Yi hurriedly helped Zhong Lixiao up and couldn't help but reach out to touch Zhong Lixiao's face. Only then did he confirm that Zhong Lixiao was really back and not dreaming.

Li Yi was overjoyed and even became incoherent with excitement.

Compared with the previous old lady who was surrounded by stars and was elegant and noble, she was like a completely different person.

Li Yi seemed to have endless things to say, asking all kinds of questions. If it were in the past, Zhong Lixiao might have felt that he was nagging, but now it sounded just right to his ears.

He just felt very warm!
After a while, Li Yi loudly called out to the people around him one by one, asking them to inform the head of the family that the Eleventh Master was back.

Originally, Zhong Lixiao had no plan to publicize it, after all, it was too troublesome.

but.

Now seeing his mother busying herself with preparations, Zhong Lixiao suddenly gave in to his mother's temper.

Only then did Zhong Lixiao realize that among the few "people around him" his mother had just sent away, none of them were familiar to him.

It is obvious that these serving women have been replaced many times.

It’s normal to think about it. After all, there are only a few women who can truly achieve success in spiritual practice.

If they are not released in time, it will delay their lives.

If they could really achieve some results, they would naturally not be asked to do the job of serving tea and water anymore.

Immortal cultivators are still precious after all!

Afterwards, Zhong Lixiao couldn't help but think of lotus seeds.

So many years have passed, and I don't know how Lianzi is doing after getting married.

That's right!

Many years ago, Zhong Lixiao asked his mother to help Lianzi find a good family to marry into.

After all, they are master and servant, and the magical power of "God loves simple people" has helped him a lot, so he naturally has to help Lianzi make good plans.

Zhong Lixiao is not so selfish as to not give Lianzi any status or protection, but also want her to wait for him all her life.

After all, cultivators still attach great importance to cause and effect!

Hearing Zhong Lixiao's words, mother Li Yi also laughed out loud, and even couldn't help but think of the silly girl Lianzi in her mind.

Li Yi sighed, "This girl Lianzi is a fool with good fortune. When you wrote to me and asked me to find a good family for her, this silly girl refused to agree. It was only after I showed her your handwritten letter that she burst into tears and finally agreed."

"Now, Lianzi is already a grandmother. The eldest son is still the manager of our Zhong family, and the second son has become the county magistrate of Taiyang County."

Upon hearing this, Zhong Lixiao nodded in satisfaction.

For Lianzi, this is indeed a very perfect ending.

The mother is honored by her son, and she has many children and grandchildren, so he can finally put his worries to rest.

Not only Lianzi, the mother also took the initiative to mention Zhong Sheng.

Unlike Lianzi, Zhong Sheng has been practicing very hard over the years.

In addition, the resources provided by Zhong Lixiao were indeed not few. Although his aptitude was poor, he had now reached the late stage of Qi training.

Zhong Lixiao's eyes suddenly lit up.

This progress is good!
Soon, a large number of core members of the clan gathered outside the courtyard where my mother lived.

When they heard that Zhong Lixiao had returned, they immediately put down all the work in their hands and rushed to the courtyard where Li Yi lived.

After all, the reason why the Taiyang Zhong family can be as prosperous as it is today, not only because the ancestor became a Golden Core True Man, but more importantly, it is because the most promising descendant of the family, Zhong Lixiao, became the direct disciple of Yuanying True Lord.

Not to mention the Zhong family in Taiyang today, even in many surrounding counties and prefectures, the name Zhong Lixiao is a legend.

It is no exaggeration to say that even in the Taiyang Zhong family, Zhong Lixiao's status in the hearts of many family members is at least on par with Zhong Anhe, the "ancestor" who founded the Taoyuan Zhong family.

Now that you're back, you still have to give him the face he deserves.

When he walked out, the first thing that caught his eye was the many famous elders of the Taiyang Zhong family.

Zhong Lixiao swept his spiritual sense around and finally saw some familiar faces among these elders.

My second uncle Zhong Jiaxing, my third uncle Que Hongyi, my eldest brother Zhong Liting, and even my father Zhong Jiasheng.

Second uncle Zhong Jiaxing is still the same. His cultivation has improved quite rapidly over the past thirty years and he is now a cultivator in the late foundation building stage.

He is also the backbone of the Taiyang Zhong family!

As for my third uncle Que Hongyi, his face looked even more ferocious than before.

Especially the violent aura, which could hardly be concealed.

As for his cultivation, it has skyrocketed and he is now a cultivator in the late foundation building stage.

Perhaps it is because of the great demon Feng Xi's bloodline, his momentum is far superior to that of his second uncle Zhong Jiaxing.

As for the eldest brother Zhong Liting, he has now become a very calm middle-aged man.

Living in a different place changes one's body and nourishing one's spirit. Perhaps because Zhong Liting has been in a high position for a long time, he now has a sense of majesty without even being angry.

but.

He seemed to have some hidden injuries on his body, and his cultivation was somewhat unstable. Until now, he still hadn't reached the level of foundation building.

This made Zhong Lixiao frown slightly!
As for his father, Zhong Jiasheng, although he has made some progress in cultivation over the past thirty years, he has gained too much weight.

This is not a good sign!

As for my uncle Zhong Jiachang, he was nowhere to be seen.

Zhong Lixiao suddenly felt a little uneasy. Although he didn't want to think in a bad way, birth, aging, sickness and death were ultimately the laws of this world.

As for those who cannot make rapid progress on the path, they will eventually turn into dust.

In addition to his uncle Zhong Jiachang, there are many other faces that were very impressive in his memory but have now disappeared.

Instead, there are many very unfamiliar young faces.

Zhong Lixiao didn't recognize most of them, but through the occasional outlines of their facial features, he was able to barely match their former youths with their present selves.

However, this scene once again made Zhong Lixiao deeply realize what it means that time is ruthless!
"Second uncle, third aunt, and cousin."

Zhong Lixiao followed his memory and greeted these tribesmen one by one.

For a time, it naturally aroused an unprecedented enthusiastic response.

The entire Taoyuan Zhong family was completely thrown into a frenzy because of this!

This joy was not even limited to the Zhong family, but also attracted prominent families from Taiyang County and many surrounding counties.

This is bound to be a feast!
In the end, Zhong Lixiao felt a little bored.

But it must be admitted that this worldly connection did indeed cause a great impact on his soul.

There are reminiscences, melancholy, casual flirting, regret for not meeting each other earlier, and all kinds of sweet, sour, bitter, spicy and salty feelings are mixed in it.

If there is one regret, perhaps it is that among so many people who come to visit him, there is not even one who possesses the seed of magical power.

In addition, another change that Zhong Lixiao could not have expected during this return trip was that the Five Spirit Mirror had thoroughly penetrated into every aspect of the daily life of many of his fellow tribesmen.

Among the entire Taiyang Zhong family today, apart from Zhong Lixiao, perhaps the most famous is the former fifteenth sister Zhong Suyun.

Her many travel notes and "videos" have completely opened the door to a new world for all her tribesmen.
In the end, it was not until the ancestor Zhong Anhe came out of seclusion and personally summoned Zhong Lixiao that Zhong Lixiao felt relieved.

I have to admit that this experience of returning home made Zhong Lixiao uncontrollably recall some of his experiences in his previous life when he worked and returned home for the New Year.

Not that good, but novel nonetheless!

The moment he saw the ancestor Zhong Anhe, Zhong Lixiao immediately became happy.

because.

He couldn't help but recall the scene in the past in the Rimu Gobi Desert when the ancestor and Zhixuanzi called him "Senior Fan" one by one.

Zhong Anhe was a little confused for a moment, but he couldn't wait to ask Zhong Lixiao about the many circumstances of his Dan formation.

No one knows how Zhong Anhe felt when he was alone keeping a big secret.

Especially since this secret has not been confirmed yet, one can imagine how he feels.

Zhong Lixiao smiled and didn't say much, but his appearance changed for a while, and then he became "Fan Zaicheng" again.

At the same time, several fire arrows began to move around Zhong Lixiao as if they had souls.

Zhong Anhe's pupils shrank.

Even though he was a Jindan Zhenren, he couldn't help but open his mouth wide at this moment, and couldn't utter a word for a while.

The mysterious and unpredictable "Senior Fan" who roamed the battlefield of the Gobi Desert at dusk, first killed Zuo Daoxian, and then killed many Qianren Hall Jindan Zhenren, is he his grandson Li Xiao?
How can it be? !
Afterwards, thinking of Zhong Anhe who always called him "Senior Fan", he became so angry that he blew his beard and glared.

Bastard, you are rebelling against Tiangang!
