Building a long-lasting family lineage starting with genealogy

Chapter 40 Xu Chuan's "Seeking Further Reading"

[Today's divination: Auspicious. You will gain an opportunity today through your arduous cultivation at the Azure Cold Pool.]

"Opportunity?"

This "Daily Divination" can only be used to predict the matter you are asking about. It has some effect, but it is not very useful for him at the moment.

However, asking this question every day actually strengthened his soul power.

Xu Chuan didn't think much of it and began his arduous training for the day.

It was already past 9 AM.

Suddenly.

He was struck by a sudden inspiration and sensed the power of heaven and earth around him. His pores seemed to open as if he were breathing, and his meridians continuously attracted this power into his body.

Crackling~
The bones throughout his body emitted a series of strange noises.

Then, specks of black substance seeped from the skin's surface.

Cleansing the marrow and rejuvenating the bones!

This is a blessing that only occurs on the first successful attempt to draw qi into the body!

Half an hour later.

Xu Chuan opened his eyes, a blue light shining from them, and a look of joy appeared on his face.

"The innate potential is complete!"

"Indeed, the influence of lifespan and physical constitution is still very significant."

"I have three great destiny talents, and I only broke through to the innate level when I was close to forty. If it were someone else, they would have started practicing martial arts at twenty-five or twenty-six and would have been considered to have excellent talent if they could become a third-rate martial artist."

The younger the age, the easier it is to open up the acupoints.

After the age of twenty, the difficulty of opening up acupoints increases step by step.

Smelling the strange odor emanating from his body, Xu Chuan chuckled nonchalantly.

After walking to the front of the Azure Cold Pool, I removed all my clothes and placed them on a large blue stone to the side.

Then he jumped into the pool.

The biting cold sent a shiver down his spine. He quickly circulated his innate energy throughout his body and then enjoyed the ice water bath as if he were taking a normal bath.

"Go down and have a look."

A moment later, Xu Chuan took a deep breath and dived into the pool.

But the water was deeper than he had imagined, and the effort required was greater, so he eventually gave up and surfaced.

"How strange! Could it be that there is a rare opportunity or good fortune here?"

Xu Chuan pondered for a moment, and finally decided to try again another time.

"I haven't been down the mountain for three months, and I wonder how those kids are doing."

With a slight smile on his lips, Xu Chuan strolled down the mountain with his hands behind his back.

"Homeowner!"

Along the way, as he passed through farmland and orchards, the patrolling guards and farmers in the fields all bowed to him.

It is evident that the Xu family is popular.

Some guards even rushed back to the Xu family to report that he had come down the mountain.

The Xu family immediately became busy.

The three brothers, Xu Mingwei, Xu Mingyuan, and Xu Mingxuan, were overjoyed to hear this.

Father has come down the mountain; could it be that he has broken through to a higher level?!

Xu Mingwei knew best the reason why Xu Chuan went up the mountain to retreat into seclusion.

I felt a little excited.

My Xu family has a second innate talent!

"A-Yuan, Tan-Tou, you two go to the main gate to greet Father. I'll go find Mother and your sister-in-law."

“Okay, big brother,” the two brothers replied with a smile.

"The patriarch is back—"

The sound rang out in each courtyard, and soon spread throughout the entire Xu residence.

"Ah, Father has come down the mountain."

"Little White, let's go!"

Xu Mingshu immediately stopped practicing her boxing, leaped onto the white tiger's back, and ran towards the door.

Xu Mingxian followed closely behind, her feet gliding on the wind.

"The head of the Xu family?"

Gu Yiping muttered to himself, put his hands behind his back, and walked towards the main entrance.

Soon after, Xu Mingwei helped Yang Ronghua and Bai Jing walk slowly together.

At this moment, there were many people standing at the gate, with two rows of servants, maids and guards, and the masters of the Xu family in the middle.

"Such a grand affair."

Xu Chuan saw the dense crowd from afar, a slight smile appeared on his lips, and then he shook his head.

They're making a mountain out of a molehill.

When she reached the gate of the mansion, Bai Jing walked over with tears in her eyes, wiped her tears, and said, "So you still know how to come back."

"Feeling lonely? I'll keep you company tonight." Xu Chuan laughed heartily.

"You still love to be cheeky!" Bai Jing teased with a smile.

Then--

"Father! (x5)"

Xu Mingwei led his other brothers and sisters forward and called out in unison. Xu Chuan smiled and nodded.

Xu Mingshu and Xu Mingxian ran to his sides first. Xu Mingxian was a little reluctant, but Xu Mingshu just hugged him.

They're still at the age where they can act cute, but the others have already passed that age.

"It's like we've been apart for years." Xu Chuan said, both amused and exasperated.

His eyes lit up as he spotted Gu Yiping in the crowd. He stepped forward and said with a smile, "Master Gu, is that right? I'm sorry to have made you laugh."

"A genuine expression of feelings is nothing to laugh at; on the contrary, it makes me envious."

Gu Yiping was deeply moved when he saw the Xu family lining the street to welcome Xu Chuan.

He has wandered for half his life and is still alone.

"Go on with your own business."

"Yes, master."

After the maids and servants bowed respectfully, they began to disperse.

"Let's go to the main hall and talk," Xu Chuan said.

"Ronghua and I will go for a walk in other places," Bai Jing said with a faint smile.

"Yes, don't tire her out."

"Do I need you to remind me?"

After Bai Jing finished speaking, she and Yang Ronghua returned to the inner residence, while the rest went to the Xu family's main hall.

“Father, you’ve come down the mountain at just the right time. The Dragon Elephant Martial Arts School will open in half a month,” Xu Mingyuan said with a smile.

"With Master Gu, a master of the late-stage innate realm, here, there shouldn't be any problems."

"Stone, you should go and make a scene then. It's not good to trouble Master Gu to take care of things personally."

"Yes, Father." Xu Mingwei nodded in agreement.

He then looked at Gu Yiping and asked him how he was doing at the Xu family's house and whether there had been any shortcomings in their hospitality.

After chatting for a while, they went to the training ground.

Xu Chuan asked Xu Mingwei to test his younger siblings one by one.

Overall, Xu Chuan was satisfied; they all listened to his words and put in serious effort in martial arts.

As for Xu Mingyuan...

“A Yuan, if you don’t work harder, Xue Ji and Yun Nu will catch up with you.”

“Father, I have tried my best.”

Xu Mingyuan's face was full of bitterness; he knew he would become the focus of attention.

"I don't mean to blame you," Xu Chuan said with a smile. "You have made great contributions to the Xu family's current success, but you must also make progress in martial arts."

"I don't want you to be the only one among the five siblings stuck at the peak of the acquired realm."

"Yes, Father." Xu Mingyuan lowered his head and looked down, feeling utterly depressed.

If the wealthy merchants of Qingjiang County were to see Xu Mingyuan in this state, they probably wouldn't believe that this was the shrewd, ambitious, and powerful "God of Wealth of the Xu Family".

----------

night.

Xu Chuan made up for Bai Jing's months of loneliness.

After the storm had passed.

Bai Jing lay in Xu Chuan's arms, enjoying the tranquility of the moment.

"Husband, did you make a major breakthrough in your martial arts training on the mountain this time?"

Bai Jing drew small circles on Xu Chuan's chest with her finger.

"My wife, you've seen it for yourself, haven't you?"

Xu Chuan smiled slightly, looked down at her, and ran his other hand over her smooth back.

Bai Jing's face flushed red as she recalled what had just happened.

She's almost forty now, yet she's as ravenous as a wolf, and seems a bit too unrestrained.

"Haha, we're husband and wife, what's there to be ashamed of in bed?"

"It's all my husband's fault. He has so many tricks up his sleeve. I have no idea how he came up with them."

"Isn't my wife also very involved?"

Bai Jing blushed even more, and said somewhat angrily, "If you say that again, my husband, I will get angry."

"Haha, I'm not going to say anymore."

Xu Chuan became serious. "After several months on the mountain, your husband has finally broken through to the Innate Martial Artist level."

"what!"

"innate!"

Bai Jing naturally understood the meaning of "innate".

There are very few innate martial artists in the entire Qingjiang County.

She looked at Xu Chuan in disbelief, "Husband, didn't you only start practicing martial arts at twenty-six? How could you become a Xiantian martial artist?"

"That just means your husband is exceptionally gifted."

Yes, in every aspect.

"However, there's no need to tell anyone; it's good for the Xu family to have another trump card."

"I'm not being nosy."

"I know." Xu Chuan kissed her forehead and said, "You must be tired tonight, get some rest."

"There is ample time."

There will be another chapter at 6 PM, fellow cultivators, don't forget!
