From the family treasure tree to build an eternal family

Chapter 244 Fortune and Nobility Establish Foundation, Unknown Spiritual Fruit

Yuanli County.

When Xu Liyuan and Xu Yiqing returned to Baihe Mountain from Gu Nan City, the Xu family was moving house.

The ownership of Ru'an Mountain, a second-tier spiritual land, was finally determined. It became the spiritual land of the Xu family with an annual mountain occupation tax of 2,600 spirit stones.

Several Foundation Establishment cultivators had their eyes on this second-tier spiritual land, but the Xu family's power is now so great that they gave them face and didn't compete for it.

On the surface, the Xu family has three Foundation Establishment cultivators: Xu Xiaoniu, Xu Xiaohou, and Xu Zhongxi.

Now there is Xu Yiqing, who has a true spiritual root and has just become a celestial official.

There are rumors circulating that the Xu family and the Golden Core family are related.

Therefore, Ru'an Mountain, a second-tier spiritual land, naturally became the spiritual land of the Xu family.

When Xu Yiqing and his companion returned, the Xu family learned that Xu Yiqing had not been selected as a celestial official in the government office.

Everyone was mentally prepared, so there wasn't much of an emotional reaction.

The two recounted their experiences in the ancient southern city: the majestic city, the abundant spiritual energy, the countless spiritual lands, and the extraordinary talents selected during the selection of celestial officials in the government office, all of which drew gasps of amazement from the crowd.

Those top-tier Golden Core families in Gu Nan City are incredibly powerful.

However, those families are far removed from the Xu family, which is not even considered a top-tier Foundation Establishment family now.

Despite having three Foundation Establishment cultivators, the Xu family is relatively weak, lacking even a mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator. Among the Foundation Establishment families in Yuanli County, the Xu family can only be considered a mid-tier family.

They still have a long way to go, and the most important thing right now is to be down-to-earth and strengthen their capabilities step by step.

Baihe Mountain.

The Xu family was busy as bees.

Although Baihe Mountain is large, the area of ​​its spiritual land is too small to meet the growing needs of the Xu family's cultivators.

With the arrival of the second-tier spiritual land of Ru'an Mountain, everyone couldn't wait to move there and cultivate.

Ruanshan is located between Tonggu County and Yuanli City, about four or five hundred miles away from Baiheshan.

Although the Xu family has many late-stage Qi Refining cultivators and storage pouches, a low-level storage pouch is only about three feet square and can't hold many items. This large-scale relocation still requires horse-drawn carriages.

The grand convoy drove away from Baihe Mountain.

"I don't need to move anything here."

Xu Fugui stood at the gate of his residence and waved away the busy servants.

Baihe Mountain is where the Xu family made their fortune, and they won't abandon it. Next to it is their ancestral home, Baihe Village.

This residence holds too many memories for Xu Fugui and his wife Jiazhen. The walls inside are adorned with portrait paintings, all hand-painted by Xu Fugui himself, using talisman ink and precious talisman paper that would not decay even after ten thousand years.

It's worth mentioning that in Baihe Village, the Xu family's old house still retains its original appearance as it did when they left. Despite decades of erosion, it appears incredibly ancient. Xu Fugui occasionally sends people to repair the eaves and walls that have been corroded by time.

"Dad~~"

At a call, the withered old man walked toward Xu Fugui.

He looked even older than Xu Fugui, hunched over, yet his eyes were clear, his hearing hadn't deteriorated, and he spoke clearly.

He is the fifth son, Xu Xiaoan, who is ninety years old this year. He has extremely poor aptitude for martial arts and remains an ordinary person to this day, but he has contributed the most offspring to the Xu family.

He was an ordinary man who lived to be ninety and was still healthy; it seemed like he could live a few more years without any problem. Unlike his fourth brother, Xu Xiaoyun, who died peacefully at the age of sixty-five.

"Xiao'an, what's wrong?"

Xu Fugui stepped forward and helped his son up.

He didn't give Xu Xiaoan any special resources; Xiaoan survived this long entirely on his own. Xu Fugui was surprised by this, but didn't find it unusual.

"Long-lived elderly people" do exist. Most ordinary people only live to be seventy years old, but there are also centenarians who live exceptionally long lives.

"Father, I won't go to Ru'an Mountain. I'll stay in Baihe Mountain and take care of the fields here."

Xu Xiaoan is very nostalgic. He grew up in Baihe Village and moved to Baihe Mountain, where he has lived ever since.

As people get older, they tend to become nostalgic, and at ninety years old, he didn't want to go through any more trouble. Besides, he was just an ordinary person, not a cultivator, so a second-tier spiritual land was useless to him.

"That's fine, your health isn't suited for traveling back and forth."

Xu Fugui nodded; he understood Xu Xiaoan's thoughts.

Ru'an Mountain.

This place is a hundred times busier than Baihe Mountain.

Baihe Mountain is being relocated, while Ru'an Mountain requires construction.

Xu Zhonghuai, the current head of the Xu family, is extremely busy arranging various affairs.

The Chu family, which originally occupied Mount Ruan, lost all its Foundation Establishment and Qi Refining cultivators, and its ordinary members were driven away.

All the spiritual plants and other resources within the sacred site were confiscated and stored in the government treasury.

The Xu family occupies a barren Ling Mountain, but fortunately, many of the buildings left behind by the Chu family are still there.

The Xu family was only temporarily using these buildings. Once they moved to Ru'an Mountain, they would naturally need to build new houses. Xu Zhonghuai had already planned a new residential area and hired a large number of laborers from the neighboring Changyue County to work there.

Besides building houses, the most important things are planting spiritual plants and cultivating farmland.

Spiritual plants are the most important resource produced within the spiritual land.

Farmland produces grain to feed ordinary people. Besides cultivators, the Xu family also has a large number of ordinary people who need to eat.

Xu Fugui was mainly in charge of the spiritual plants, as he was the most proficient person in the clan in the "Spiritual Farmer's Qi Cultivation Technique" and the "Illustrated Compendium of Spiritual Plants".

After Du Wanyun joined the Xu family, she changed her name to "Liu Yun".

She followed the Xu family to Ru'an Mountain, and sighed at the impermanence of life.

A few months ago, she escaped from the Chu family in Ruanshan and went through a series of major events that changed her perspective.

Unexpectedly, after joining the Xu family, he ended up back in Ru'an Mountain.

She didn't know how the Chu family had been "wiped out" overnight; she heard they had offended some important figure in the county government.

She had wondered if it was related to her, but then she thought that she was just a nobody and wouldn't be so important as to cause the destruction of the Chu family.

When she was at Baihe Mountain, her abilities were not fully utilized because the spiritual land was too small.

Upon arriving at Ru'an Mountain, she was able to put her expertise to good use: cultivating spiritual plants.

She cultivates water-based techniques; when she was in the Chu family, she was responsible for cultivating spiritual plants and watering farmland.

Meanwhile, she secretly inquired about the whereabouts of her parents and family.

Soon after, she learned that all the cultivators in the Chu family had died, but the ordinary members of the family were still alive. Her family members, who had been imprisoned on Mount Ru'an, were released along with the rest of the Chu family.

Her eldest brother, Du Tian, ​​is dead, but everyone else is alive.

She wanted to go home to visit her family, but she thought that she had finally managed to hide her identity in the Xu family and could not reveal her true identity again.

Her decision saved her life. Tuoba Hongyang secretly sent people to monitor her family, waiting for her to return home.

Some time passed.

Xu Yiqing, who had reached the ninth level of Qi Refining, was assigned by the prefectural government to Changyue County, near Ru'an Mountain, to serve as the head of the Forestry Bureau.

the other side.

The towering Mount Wanren is a sacred place for the Fan family.

Fan Kongye stood atop the mountain peak, which disappeared into the clouds, gazing towards the direction of the ancient southern city.

His great-grandson, Fan Tianlin, has been in Gu Nan City for several months now. Apart from the initial letter with a talisman, he has not sent any further messages.

Fan Tianlin was only sixteen years old. He had been living in the Fan family's sacred ground since birth and had very little experience with the outside world.

Fan Kongye was worried that he might encounter danger or be deceived. Before leaving, he prepared some precious long-distance communication talismans for Fan Tianlin and instructed him to send messages home every now and then.

"Tianlin is young and naive, so we must be more vigilant towards outsiders."

He kept thinking about it.

Fan Tianlin, with his Earth Spirit Root, is the hope of the Fan family. If Fan Tianlin advances to the Golden Core Realm, the Fan family will rise to a new level.

Just then, a communication talisman in his storage pouch emitted a fluctuation.

"There's news!"

He quickly took out a communication talisman.

It was a message from Fan Tianlin: he had been selected to join the "Inspectorate" in the government office, everything was fine, and his family should not worry.

"The Inspectorate, huh? Not bad. His priority is to advance to the Foundation Establishment Realm; the position of Immortal Official is secondary."

Fan Kongye felt a weight lifted off his shoulders upon receiving the message.

The Inspection Office was a directly subordinate office of Prefect Lin Shengping, serving as his "eyes" and inspecting the situation in all counties of Zhennan Prefecture.

The one who sent the message to Fan Kongye was Wuma Chenyang, who had possessed Fan Tianlin.

Wuma Chenyang refined Fan Tianlin's storage pouch and discovered a communication talisman within. Thanks to the Wuma family's intelligence network, Wuma Chenyang had a thorough understanding of Fan Tianlin's interpersonal relationships and various other information.

He cleverly sent a message to the Fan family, dispelling Fan Kongye's doubts.

Time goes by.

In the blink of an eye, three years have passed since the Xu family moved to Ruanshan.

In three years, Ru'an Mountain has undergone tremendous changes.

On the edge of the sacred land, at the foot of the mountain, stretches of ordinary farmland are planted. This is where the farmhands live.

The central area is where the Xu family lived.

Rows of brand-new buildings, exquisite and elegant residences, and magnificent pavilions and corridors.

The gardens are beautiful everywhere, and they are planted with spiritual plants.

There are also fields of medicinal herbs.

In addition to these, spiritual tea is also grown on Ling Mountain.

Deep within the Ru'an Mountains lies the area where they cultivate and practice their magical arts.

Inside the alchemy room.

Xu Zhongche was refining pills. He controlled the Yin-Yang Fire, and the two-colored flames constantly changed under the pill-refining furnace.

The pill he was refining was a second-tier spiritual pill called "Three-in-One Pill".

A year ago, the Xu family spent three thousand spirit stones to purchase a Three-in-One Pill, allowing Xu Zhongche, who had reached the peak of Qi Refining, to attempt a breakthrough. As the family's genius alchemist, Xu Zhongche was the family's "logistical support," and his cultivation level was extremely important.

He had reached the Qi Refining Perfection stage long ago and had taken the Three-in-One Pill once, but unfortunately he failed to establish his foundation.

Last year, he once again attempted to break through using the Three-in-One Pill, and with the addition of a drop of spiritual dew given to him by Xu Fugui, he successfully established his foundation and became the fourth Foundation Establishment cultivator in the Xu family.

With his Foundation Establishment cultivation level, he began to explore the process of refining the Three-in-One Pill.

The Three-in-One Pill and the Foundation Building Pill are both second-tier spiritual pills used to help Qi Refining cultivators break through to the Foundation Building Realm, and they are both very precious. The Foundation Building Pill, in particular, although its market price is 10,000 spirit stones, is often unavailable even with spirit stones.

However, the Foundation Establishment Pill was too difficult to refine, and Xu Zhongche was not confident in his ability to do so, so he studied the method of refining the Three-in-One Pill.

He had taken Sanhe Dan twice and was very familiar with it, having a deep understanding of its medicinal properties.

With his extraordinary talent for alchemy, he developed the formula for the Three-in-One Pill and repeatedly attempted to master its refining method. The refining method was a more important skill than the formula itself, and it was much more difficult to thoroughly understand.

Over the course of a year, he failed many times, wasting many spiritual plants and herbs, including many precious second-tier spiritual plants.

"Congeal!"

Under his meticulous control, the refined elixir was slowly condensing into a pill.

Because the temperature of the Yin-Yang Fire was too high, the alchemy furnace was glowing red.

"It's done!"

After countless attempts to refine the Three-in-One Pill, it was finally successful.

At that moment, the alchemy furnace could not withstand the pressure, and with a hiss, it vaporized and was burned through, leaving a hole.

"Haha~~"

Xu Zhongche didn't care at all that the alchemy furnace was ruined; it was a high-grade magic weapon alchemy furnace that he had bought when he was cultivating Qi.

Magical artifacts are no longer sufficient to meet the needs of the Foundation Establishment stage.

His ability to refine second-tier spiritual pills using magical artifacts is enough to prove his skill.

"I should buy a spirit-grade alchemy furnace. Spirit-grade furnaces are expensive."

he thought.

Alchemy furnaces are among the most expensive of all types of magical artifacts and spiritual weapons.

"However, second-grade spirit pills are too profitable. If I buy a good spirit weapon alchemy furnace, I can earn it back quickly."

He estimated that the cost of the medicinal materials for refining the Three-in-One Pill was a little over a thousand spirit stones, while the selling price was three thousand spirit stones.

One Three-in-One Pill can earn nearly two thousand spirit stones!
Considering the rate of wasted pills, the profit could double.

Compared to earning only a meager fee for refining first-grade elixirs, the income from refining second-grade elixirs is extremely high.

"Who should get this Three-in-One Pill? Give it to the patriarch and let him distribute it."

Xu Zhongche thought of his younger brother, Xu Zhonghuai, who was the current head of the Xu family and controlled all of the family's resources.

He then took the Sanhe Dan and went to find Xu Zhonghuai.

"Zhonghuai, I have just refined a Three-in-One Pill, and I am giving it to you."

"Big brother, you've finally mastered the Three-in-One Pill?!"

Upon hearing this good news, Xu Zhonghuai was overjoyed. He knew that Zhongche had spent the past year studying the method of refining the Three-in-One Pill.

The Xu family has too many people who have reached the Qi Refining Perfection stage, and so many of them are stuck at a bottleneck and unable to break through. Since they can't obtain the precious Foundation Establishment Pills, they have to use the Three-in-One Pills as a substitute.

One Three-in-One Pill costs three thousand spirit stones.

The Xu family has just occupied Ru'an Mountain, and the many spiritual plants they planted are not yet mature. They also have to pay more than two thousand spirit stones as a mountain occupation tax every year. Besides, with so many people in the Xu family consuming spirit stones, they simply don't have enough spirit stones to buy the Three-in-One Pill.

The fact that Zhongche can now refine the Three-in-One Pill is of great significance to the Xu family.

"Brother, I'll put this Three-in-One Pill into the inventory and add another credit to your name!"

After the Xu family moved to Ru'an Mountain, Xu Zhonghuai, the head of the family, established more detailed and strict rules.

Every resource consumption and output must be recorded, and those who have contributed to the family should have their merits recorded.

These achievements serve as the basis for resource allocation. Otherwise, with so many people in the family, who should receive the resources?
"By the way, my alchemy furnace is broken. Buy me a spirit-grade alchemy furnace, the higher the quality, the better."

Xu Zhongche said.

A magical alchemy furnace? How many spirit stones would that cost?
Zhong Huai couldn't help but feel troubled. He knew that purchasing a magical alchemy furnace was essential; otherwise, how would he refine pills?
A spirit-grade alchemy furnace costs at least several thousand spirit stones, and if it's a mid-grade or even high-grade spirit weapon, the price is even more exorbitant. Even if the Xu family offered all their spirit stones, they still couldn't afford it.

"Alright, leave it to me! Big brother, how much does it cost you to refine one Three-in-One Pill?"

Zhong Huai gritted his teeth and decided he had to find a way to obtain a high-quality spiritual alchemy furnace.

"The cost of the elixir is about 1,200 spirit stones. I haven't taken into account the failure rate, but I estimate that if I use a spirit-equipped alchemy furnace, the failure rate should be extremely low, no more than 20%."

"These second-grade spirit pills are quite profitable. Brother, now that you can refine second-grade spirit pills, select two younger members of the clan to teach them alchemy and have them assist you."

Zhonghuai said.

As the head of the family, his primary concern is how to maximize the family's development. Currently, many members of the family cultivate immortality, but most of them only consume resources and do not produce anything.

We must cultivate more clan members who can contribute to the clan.

"Alright, let me think about how to test them and pick out two talented ones."

Xu Zhongche replied. He had had this idea for a long time, but he had been busy studying alchemy and hadn't had the time.

"In terms of talent, they definitely can't compare to you, Big Brother. As long as they can master alchemy, that's enough."

This is true.

Xu Zhongche possesses a monstrous talent for alchemy, capable of accurately identifying the components of medicinal herbs solely by their scent. In terms of cultivation techniques, his talent is as rare and precious as a spiritual root, something that can only be encountered by chance.

If one knows the prescription and the method of refining the medicine, and has his personal guidance, it is not difficult to train two clansmen who can refine first-grade spiritual pills.

Deep within the sacred land.

Xu Fugui is 123 years old this year and is still stuck at the bottleneck of Qi Refining Perfection. In the past three years, apart from studying "Fundamentals of Formations", he has spent most of his time cultivating spiritual plants in Ru'an Mountain.

He was standing in a shady ravine, with a magical spiritual fruit growing on a spiritual plant in front of him.

The fruit is dark brown with veins all over it.

"This Tiger Eye Fruit must grow in a place with abundant Yin energy, but it cannot be completely dark. At night, it needs to absorb moonlight. If you are using spiritual energy to help it grow, it is best to do so at night, and you should not use too much spiritual energy each time..."

Xu Fugui introduced Xu Lijing to him.

Despite being blind, Xu Lijing has now reached the peak of Qi Refining. He also practices the "Lingnong Qi Refining Technique," and his mastery of magic techniques surpasses that of Xu Fugui.

He was very compatible with the "Lingnong Qi Refining Technique" which is associated with earth and wood elements. Perhaps because he was invisible, he was able to unleash the magic of this technique to a degree that exceeded its original function.

Although he couldn't see it, all the plants around him were Xu Lijing's eyes.

The Tiger Eye Fruit that Xu Fugui introduced to Xu Lijing is a second-tier spiritual plant and one of the main ingredients in the Three-in-One Pill.

The main ingredients of the Three-in-One Pill are three second-tier spiritual plants: Tiger Eye Fruit, Dragon Beard Grass, and Phoenix Tail Flower, along with more than a dozen auxiliary ingredients.

The cultivation of second-tier spiritual plants is different from that of first-tier spiritual plants.

First-tier spiritual plants are easy to grow and can be planted on a large scale as long as they are in a spiritual land.

However, second-tier spiritual plants have rather demanding requirements for their growing environment and cannot be cultivated on a large scale like farmland. Often, only a few second-tier spiritual plants can grow in a suitable environment.

This is also what makes second-tier spiritual plants so precious.

"Grandpa~~!"

At that moment, Xu Zhonghuai flew in.

He came to deliver the Sanhe Pill to Xu Fugui: "This is the Sanhe Pill that my elder brother just refined. I think it's most suitable for you, Grandpa."

Among all the Qi Refining Perfection cultivators in the Xu family, the oldest is undoubtedly Xu Fugui.

They didn't know that Xu Fugui possessed the immortal fruit and thought he wouldn't live for more than a few years.

In Xu Zhonghuai's view, if his grandfather could break through to the Foundation Establishment stage, he could live for over a hundred years longer. Although Xu Fugui's hope of breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage seemed slim on the surface, he couldn't give up even if there was only a sliver of hope.

Within the Xu family, Xu Fugui's cultivation level was not high, and his strength was not great. The Xu family had four Foundation Establishment cultivators, and quite a few had reached the Qi Refining stage.

But Xu Zhonghuai knew very well that Xu Fugui was the true pillar of the Xu family, the spiritual backbone, and the first patriarch who established the Xu family as it is today!
Even if we consider their contributions, Xu Fugui has cultivated so many second-tier spiritual plants in Ru'an Mountain that he deserves more than one Three-in-One Pill.

"Zhongche has refined the Three-in-One Pill? Good, good."

Xu Fugui accepted the Three-in-One Pill and nodded with satisfaction. The newly refined pill was still slightly warm.

internal space.

Xu Fugui held the Sanhe Pill in his hand and looked up at the canopy of the family's treasure tree.

Over the course of three years, the precious tree grew taller and sprouted several branches.

At the very top of the tree crown lies the sacred fruit.

There is also a bright green leaf on which a drop of nectar from the sacred branch condenses every year.

On the branch representing Xu Xiaoan, the Longevity Fruit grows. Last year, the Longevity Fruit was upgraded to an [Eighty-Year] Fruit.

In addition, there is an unknown spiritual fruit.

Like the immortality fruit of yesteryear, Xu Fugui didn't know what this fruit was either.

This spiritual fruit grows at the top of the tree canopy, while the top-planting spiritual fruit grows on either side.

This spiritual fruit is a bewitching light red color, slightly astringent and unripe.

The unknown spiritual fruit grew just as Xu Fugui had absorbed the offspring aura of Xu Yiqing.

The branch representing Xu Yiqing differed from the others, growing tricolored flower buds. This was later proven to represent Xu Yiqing's innate three-elemental true spiritual root.

After that, the unknown spiritual fruit grew twice more.

Over the years, with the development of the Xu family, in addition to Xu Liyuan giving birth to Xu Yiqing, who has a true spiritual root, two other clansmen born with innate spiritual roots have also been born.

However, both of these Xu family descendants who possessed spiritual roots were ordinary five-element pseudo-spiritual roots.

The branches that represent them are not covered with three-colored flowers, but with five-colored leaves.

The bloodlines of three Xu family descendants, each born with spiritual roots, nourish the unknown spiritual fruit.

Based on the past occurrences of the family's treasure tree, Xu Fugui deduced that if another member of the Xu family were born with innate spiritual roots, the unknown spiritual fruit would ripen.

"First, consume the Longevity Fruit to break through to the Foundation Establishment Realm."

Xu Fugui had not taken the Longevity Fruit before, because he was waiting for the right opportunity.

Given his current aptitude and age, without consuming the Longevity Fruit, he has almost no hope of reaching the Foundation Establishment stage.

At the age of 123, he was considered an old man even among Qi Refining cultivators.
