From the family treasure tree to build an eternal family

Chapter 110 Cultivation
At this time, Xu Fugui was not at the Xu family's old house, but at Baihe Mountain.

In a deep mountain forest.

internal space.

Xu Fugui sat cross-legged beside the family's precious tree, circulating the "Lingnong Qi Refining Technique".

The precious tree has now grown to a height of 6.3 meters, and the area of ​​its internal space has expanded to a radius of 6.3 meters.

The newly created area was filled with five types of spiritual plants and ginseng by Xu Fugui.

The crown of the precious tree branches out into six branches, each of which grows year by year.

The longest branch, the first one, represents Xu Xiaoniu, measuring 4.3 meters.

The shortest sixth branch represents Xu Xiaohou, at 2.4 meters.

The branches at the ends of the branches also branch out into individual branches, representing the clan members of the "Zhong" generation.

Currently, the Xu family's "Zhong" generation, apart from Xu Xiaoan's fourth son "Xu Zhongsi" who is about to turn three, all others are represented on the branches of the treasure tree.

Xu Xiaoniu's wife, Chen Xiulian, is getting old and has no plans to have any more children after giving birth to their second son, Zhongyao.

Xu Xiaogou had two sons and a daughter, and he was content.

Xu Xiaoyun is busy with business, and two children are enough for her.

Xu Xiaoan married early and has since had four children.

As for Xu Xiaohou, he was at the third level of the Innate Realm and the second level of Qi Refining, so he focused on cultivating and improving his strength and had no interest in marriage.

At the top of the precious tree's canopy hangs a blue-green spiritual fruit.

[Initiation Fruit (Blue): Consuming it beside the Treasure Tree grants the initiation and transmission of mortal-level cultivation techniques and secret arts.]

[The four descendants, nurtured with their auras, can be upgraded to yellow (Qi Refining level) spiritual fruits.]

In addition to the Enlightenment Fruit, there was also a white fruit hanging on the fifth branch representing Xu Xiaoan.

Nourished by the bloodline energy of Zhongyi, Zhonger, and Zhongsan's offspring, the white spiritual fruit continued to grow. It seemed that, like the Enlightenment Spiritual Fruit, the energy of the four offspring was enough to nurture it to maturity.

In other words, once "Zhongsi" turns three years old in a few months, this mysterious white spiritual fruit will be ripe.

In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

After a while, Xu Fugui opened his eyes.

He broke through to the fourth level of Qi Refining five years ago.

The early stage of Qi cultivation involves opening up the Dantian (energy center) and forming the nine orifices and eight openings of the Dantian, which is the foundation for cultivating immortality.

The middle stage of Qi Refining involves the accumulation of spiritual energy.

With the abundant spiritual energy within his body, Xu Fugui's cultivation progressed rapidly, and he estimated that he would be able to break through to the fifth level of Qi Refining in another two or three years.

He usually keeps his spiritual energy hidden, and even the Xu family members are unaware of his current cultivation level and strength.

He stood up and walked to a withered leaf crow, a spiritual plant.

"The art of promoting plant growth!"

He made hand seals, circulated his spiritual energy, and finally raised his sword finger and pressed it against the stem of the withered leaf crow.

A surge of spiritual energy flowed from the acupoint between the middle fingers and into the withered leaf crow.

Under the influence of this spiritual energy, the withered leaf crow grew slightly, almost imperceptibly.

After consuming half of the spiritual energy in his dantian, Xu Fugui stopped his attack.

This is a spell that comes with the "Spirit Farming Manual," which has the effect of promoting plant growth.

He just cast a spell on the withered leaf crow, which made it grow out of thin air for half a month. If he casts a spell on the same withered leaf crow every day, it won't be long before it grows into a spiritual plant with medicinal properties that can last for decades.

Casting spells consumes his spiritual energy, so he cannot cast them indefinitely.

He observed the outside world from within his inner space, and seeing that no one was around, he withdrew from his inner space.

"It's time to practice flying sword techniques."

The reason he doesn't cultivate at home is because he needs space to practice flying sword techniques.

His "Flying Sword Technique" is now at the second level, where he uses spiritual energy to control the flying sword and change its direction.

Compared to the first level of Flying Sword Technique, the second level is much more difficult.

A hundred meters away, a wild rabbit cautiously peeked out, searching for food among the weeds in the woods. "Whoosh!"

Xu Fugui flicked his wrist, and the feather-patterned flying sword, infused with spiritual energy, flew towards the wild rabbit.

The hare reacted alertly; its large eyes spotted the fleeting shadow of the flying sword, and it nimbly leaped and darted into the nearby bushes.

If the trajectory of the feather-patterned flying sword is a straight line, it will just graz the rabbit's tail.

But at the crucial moment, the flying sword changed direction.

When the hare landed, its body was pierced, and its blood stained the soil and weeds.

"Wild rabbits are too easy to catch."

Xu Fugui thought to himself and walked toward the direction where the feather-patterned flying sword had landed.

With his skill in controlling flying swords, he couldn't simply reach out and retrieve them; that was something only the third level of the Flying Sword Technique could do.

He can now only use his spiritual energy to control his flying sword, changing its trajectory and direction in the air, making it impossible for enemies to defend against.

The current flaws of the "Flying Sword Technique" are obvious; using the superior-grade magic weapon, the Feather Pattern Flying Sword, he only has one chance to strike.

In actual combat, the enemy won't wait for him to slowly retrieve the flying sword and attack again.

He walked quite a distance before picking up the feather-patterned flying sword from the weeds. The sword had just killed a wild rabbit and then pierced through a half-meter-thick cedar tree.

The refined flying sword has a sense of presence; it can be sensed no matter where it is, and it is impossible for it to be lost.

"Come again."

His target this time was a leaf swaying in the wind a hundred meters away.

"Whoosh!"

The feather-patterned flying sword drew an arc in the air, accurately striking the leaf's stem. The leaf swayed and twirled as it fell.

After repeating this several times, he retrieved his feather-patterned flying sword, left Hundred Valleys Mountain, and returned home.

When he left Baihe Mountain, he wore a straw hat to shield his eyes from the sun and walked at a leisurely pace.

He didn't want to reveal his cultivation level of the fourth level of Qi Refining, so he kept his spiritual energy within himself and appeared to be just a farmer who had practiced stance training and had good footwork.

"If only there were a fairy mountain."

He couldn't help but envy the Blue Hill Mountain owned by the Lan family.

Qingqiu Mountain, with its second-tier spiritual vein, was too far away for the Xu family. Even Cangwu Mountain, which barely reached the first-tier spiritual vein under the Spirit Gathering Array, was a spiritual land for cultivation that the Xu family longed for.

"I don't need any sacred land, even an ordinary Hundred Valleys Mountain will do."

Xu Fugui thought.

The current situation of the Xu family is that the number of clansmen is increasing, and more and more cultivators with five elemental spiritual roots will appear in the future.

The members of the "Zhong" generation are growing up and are about to break through to the Innate Realm and possess spiritual roots.

The Xu family has so many secrets that they need a relatively closed and private place to protect them.

For example, when he practiced flying sword techniques, various herb gatherers, woodcutters, and hunters frequented Baihe Mountain. In addition, there were also patrolmen sent by the government to patrol the mountain.

He had to be careful not to be discovered.

He had inquired and learned that those cultivation sites did not belong to cultivation families, but to the imperial court, and were rented by various families with spirit stones.

Even in ordinary wild mountains like "Baihe Mountain," people have to pay money to the imperial court for logging, gathering herbs, and hunting. How could those spiritual veins possibly belong to cultivation families?

"Have Da Niu go and find out how much it costs to rent Baihe Mountain."

Given the Xu family's situation, occupying a spiritual vein is unrealistic. It is very important that the Xu family has Hundred Valleys Mountain to help them survive for the next few generations.

It's not too late to consider Mount Ling once the Xu family has become powerful enough.

As Xu Fugui pondered the future development of the Xu family, he unknowingly walked back to the village.

"problem occurs?"

He saw a group of people talking about something in the distance.

As he got closer, he heard others say that something had happened to the Liu family.
