From the family treasure tree to build an eternal family

Chapter 80 Choice
"It's time to tell everyone this secret."

Xu Fugui finally spoke.

His voice was not loud, but it was resounding in the quiet night and reached everyone's ears clearly.

"The martial arts stance exercise your grandfather passed down to me is called the Five Elements Stance Exercise. There's a sentence in the secret manual of that stance exercise: 'Change your innate constitution and nurture the five elements' spiritual roots.

That is to say, once one reaches the Xiantian Warrior realm, one can cultivate the five-element pseudo-spiritual roots. The spiritual roots for cultivating immortals."

After this sentence was said, everyone reacted differently.

Xu Xiaogou already knew about this and was very calm at the moment.

Xu Xiaoniu was dull and knew it was a good thing, but he didn't realize the significance of this matter.

"Cultivating Immortal Spiritual Roots?!"

Xu Xiaoyun exclaimed in surprise, then realized he had lost his composure and quickly lowered his voice: "Dad, the Five Elements Posture has such a miraculous effect, whether it is a blessing or a curse is unknown."

He thinks a lot.

It is good to have spiritual roots for cultivating immortals, but once it attracts the covetousness of immortals, his family will be wiped out in an instant given his situation.

Whether it is a blessing or a curse is still unknown!
Xu Fugui knew this clearly: "I've only told you this secret today because Da Niu, San Gou, and I have all reached the Xiantian realm. You must keep this secret. If it's leaked, the Xu family will face catastrophic disaster."

Before Liuzi reaches the Xiantian stage, I cannot tell him. He is young and has a flamboyant personality, and I am afraid he will not be able to keep the secret."

Everyone nodded repeatedly, agreeing with this point.

"That's my plan. Sangou has had his spiritual roots tested before, so we must not reveal the condition of his spiritual roots.

Daniu is about to become a military officer, with official status, and can show his spiritual roots. Five-element pseudo-spiritual roots are not too rare, and the emergence of a person with spiritual roots in our Xu family is not surprising.

Our family will definitely need resources for cultivating immortals in the future, and having an immortal in the open will make it easier to conceal our tracks.

As for the others, after reaching the Xiantian realm, they all presented themselves as Xiantian warriors. It's normal for a family to have one false spiritual root, two is a coincidence, and more would probably attract the attention of those with ulterior motives."

What Xu Fugui said also makes sense.

As for those immortal cultivation families, they have been able to continuously produce offspring with spiritual roots by improving their bloodlines generation after generation over the long years. The probability of immortals and their offspring having spiritual roots is much higher than that of ordinary people.

"I'm sharing this secret with you today in the hope that you can practice diligently and break through to the Xiantian realm soon. Once you step into the realm of immortal cultivation, even if you're just a Qi cultivator, you can add another forty to fifty years to your lifespan."

It is rare for ordinary people to live to be seventy years old, and they look very old when they are seventy years old.

Xiantian warriors can live to be ninety years old.

A Qigong practitioner can live to be one hundred and twenty or one hundred and thirty years old, and still be in his prime when he is seventy or eighty years old.

Xu Xiaoyun pondered for a moment and chuckled bitterly, "Dad, I'd better forget it. I've neglected that skill for a long time, and I don't know when I can reach the Xiantian realm if I pick it up again. Besides, I've lived so long, and my wife Caixia passed away early, which is not good either."

Our Xu family is growing stronger and stronger, with more and more people. We can't all practice martial arts or cultivate immortality, there must be someone who makes money. I will be the one who makes money, providing food, drink, and martial arts training for everyone.

I hope one of my children has outstanding martial arts talent, so that he can practice martial arts and cultivate immortality."

He knew that his martial arts talent was far inferior to that of his eldest and third brothers, and that forcing himself to practice martial arts would be counterproductive. It would be better for him to use his expertise to make money and contribute to the family.

"Dad, I'll try my best."

The person who spoke was Xu Xiaoan, and he felt helpless.

Dad, eldest brother, and third brother all entered the innate realm, but fourth brother gave up on his own initiative. As for him, he practiced standing meditation diligently, but his talent in martial arts was extremely poor, even worse than that of his fourth brother. No matter how hard he practiced, his progress in standing meditation was slow.

He had also taken the Five Elements Medicinal Soup, but the efficiency did not improve much and was far inferior to others.

To advance to the innate realm, he could only try his best.

Xu Fugui looked at Jiazhen.

He asked Jiazhen ten years ago, but Jiazhen said she didn't practice martial arts.

Now that practicing standing meditation can help one become an immortal and live longer, he asked Jiazhen to make another choice.

"Jiazhen, what about you? If you practice standing meditation, with the aid of the Five Elements Herbal Soup and the Qi and Blood Pills to nourish your Qi and blood, you might one day be able to reach the Xiantian realm and embark on the path of cultivation."

"I?"

Jiazhen is already 47 years old this year, and women are not as good at practicing martial arts as men.

Looking at her promising sons, she was very satisfied with her life. "Why waste so many resources on me? Leave them to my children and grandchildren. I'm content with my life, so why not go ahead?"

When I'm gone, you guys should be filial to your father."

"Mom, you are still young. It doesn't matter whether you walk or not. You will live a hundred years." "Yes, Mom, you will definitely live a hundred years."

"..."

At this time, Xu Xiaohou was sleeping soundly in his bedroom.

He didn't know that during the family's secret conversation tonight, his brothers made a crucial decision about their own destiny.

----

Today during the day.

People come and go on the streets of the county town.

There was a beggar with ragged clothes and disheveled hair on the side of the road. He sat cross-legged with his hands folded below his navel.

Looking closely, I saw that he was tilting his head and snoring softly.

"hu~hu~"

Lin Changtian was snoring when he was awakened by a passing carriage and opened his sleepy eyes.

"Tsk, tsk."

He smacked his dry lips and saw a few copper coins lying on the ground in front of him. He knew that he was being mistaken for a beggar again.

He ignored the copper coins and planned to take a nap.

Everything in the world has no meaning to him, it is just a dream.

However, at this moment, several transparent crystals the size of fingernails rolled to his feet.

Lin Changtian's eyes suddenly widened, he grabbed a few spirit crystals on the ground and hid them in his arms, then held one of the spirit crystals in his palm and prepared to practice Qigong.

He completely ignored how the spirit crystal appeared in front of him out of thin air.

Maybe it was a dream?

He could no longer tell whether it was a dream or reality.

"Hey, Lin Changtian, help me kill someone."

Lin Changtian?
He hadn't heard anyone call him by that name for a long time.

"After the task is completed, three spirit stones!"

Li Mang believed that the conditions he proposed were enough to impress Lin Changtian.

Three spirit stones?

Hearing these words, Lin Changtian opened his eyes wide and raised his head, only to see that the stranger in front of him was wearing a mask.

"Who are you?"

"You don't need to know who I am. The eight spirit crystals I gave you just now were a deposit. I'll give you three more spirit stones after the deal is done. How about this? To help you, I'm willing to give you another first-grade, lower-grade golden light talisman."

One spirit stone is equal to ten spirit crystals.

Li Mang felt bad about giving up these three spirit stones, but he knew that Xu Xiaoniu had first-class military merit and it would be easy to get into trouble if he did it himself.

It would be better to find this person and make him a scapegoat.

"I, I won't do anything that harms the world."

Lin Changtian looked hesitant.

"Humph, three spirit stones, it's a matter of killing a warrior at the post-natal limit, or at most a congenital warrior. If you don't do it, there are plenty of people who will! Return the spirit crystals."

As Li Mang spoke, he was about to snatch the spirit crystal from Lin Changtian's arms.

"Wait a moment, let me think about it, let me think about it..."

Lin Changtian fell into inner torment and struggle.

How long had it been since he last saw a spirit stone? He couldn't remember.
