From the family treasure tree to build an eternal family

Chapter 51 Hunting (Please read)

Xu Xiaogou lowered his head to eat his meal. When he heard his father's question, he looked a little embarrassed: "Zhiyi and I haven't told her father yet. We want to wait a little longer."

Xu Fugui said helplessly, "How long are you going to drag it out? The sooner you reveal your intentions, the better. If it doesn't work out, forget it. Your parents will introduce you to another girl. Why bother trying to climb up the social ladder and be looked down upon by others?"

According to his wishes, he would rather Xu Xiaogou marry a girl from an ordinary family.

He has the family treasure tree in his body, so he just wants to ensure the smooth reproduction of the family. However, marrying a girl from a high-ranking and wealthy family will easily get him involved in the feuds of other families, which is not conducive to low-key development.

"Dad, we like each other."

Xu Xiaogou didn't understand why people who liked each other couldn't be together, but were restricted by family background, elders and other aspects.

Jiazhen spoke up for Xu Xiaogou: "Husband, it's rare to meet someone who likes you. Don't try to break them up. Let them fight for it themselves."

"..."

Xu Fugui was speechless. He was waiting for Xu Xiaogou to get married soon, have grandchildren, and nourish the family treasure tree.

Xu Xiaoyun, who was standing nearby, interrupted, "Third brother, just give up. If you two really get married, you'll have to spend so much money to marry her. It's such a waste. How much money can you save by marrying a girl from an ordinary family?"

Xu Xiaogou rolled his eyes: "You are too stingy. You even want to save money for my wedding?"

"I call this frugality. I wonder how our family got by in the past? If we didn't save money, how could we support your martial arts training and build our family fortune?"

"I'm saving my own money and won't spend too much of the family's money."

"..."

The two of them bickered, and no one else was surprised.

Xu Xiaogou spends money casually and occasionally spends lavishly.

As for Xu Xiaoyun, when he was a child, his family was short of money. He always wore Xu Xiaogou's old clothes, and thus developed a "stingy" character.

After dinner, everyone dispersed and went about their own business.

It was the busy farming season in midsummer. The Xu family now had 280 acres of land and employed seven or eight farmhands.

Xu Xiaoyun directed the farmhands to work every day.

Although Xu Xiaoyun was young and not good at farm work, he was very good at directing and assigning tasks. He was quite talented in mathematics and had a thorough understanding of everything related to numbers.

----

Xu Xiaogou went to the county town to find Fu Zhiyi.

Xu Fugui took a hemp rope from home and headed for Baihe Mountain. Since his family had farmhands to take care of the farmland, and he had also practiced flying swordsmanship, he became a professional hunter and went hunting in Baihe Mountain every day.

"Dahei, let's go~~"

He shouted towards Dahei's doghouse.

"Wang Wang!"

Dahei, who was sleeping in his nest, rushed out like a gust of wind, wagging his tail happily.

Four years later, Dahei became more powerful and strong, and the villagers avoided him when they saw him.

A man and a dog walked towards Baihe Mountain.

With Xu Fugui's leg strength at the third level of standing meditation, he reached Baihe Mountain, more than ten miles away, in less than two quarters of an hour.

Walking into the mountains with rugged terrain and dense vegetation, Xu Fugui relied on his super physical strength to walk as if on flat ground.

Dahei has a slender body and is agile. He has the blood of a hound in his body. He becomes more excited when he smells the scent of various wild beasts, and he jumps up and down in the woods.

After going a few more miles, Xu Fugui stopped at a gentle slope.

"Dahei, go ahead."

Dahei woofed and went into the forest to look for prey.

"Enter."

Xu Fugui disappeared from the spot and entered the space inside his body.

After years of growth, the family tree reached a height of 4.2 meters. The space inside it also expanded to a radius of 4.2 meters, about 50 to 60 square meters.

The five branches of the tree's crown grew as the children grew, and at the top hung a solitary, unripe fruit the size of a quail egg.

On the ground within the inner space, spiritual plants were planted one after another. Among them was a medicinal tree that was almost as tall as Xu Fugui, and it was the Yanqi tree.

Yanqi, Lansi Teng and Di Luosen have been planted for more than three years and it is time for them to become medicine.

On the wolfberry tree, the fiery yellow wolfberries have grown from the size of rice grains to the size of a fingernail.

"This spiritual plant, Yanqi, can be used as a spiritual medicine."

Among the five spiritual plants used to make the five-element medicinal soup, Xu Fugui was only missing this fire-element Yanqi.

"I can't buy spiritual herbs that grow in spiritual veins outside. Once I make the medicinal soup, the progress of the Five Elements Stance Training will be faster."

Just like when Xu Xiaogou practiced the "Bear and Tiger Posture", he could use nourishing medicinal soup to speed up the progress of the posture practice.

The progress of Five Elements Posture Training can also be improved with medicinal soup. The most suitable medicinal soup for Five Elements Posture Training is the Five Elements Spiritual Plant Medicinal Soup brewed according to the recipe provided in the exercise.

The Five Elements Spiritual Plant Medicinal Soup not only improves the progress of the桩功, but is also necessary for the Five Elements桩功 to achieve the characteristic of "changing spiritual roots".

In other words, it is necessary to practice standing meditation with the help of medicinal soup, and only after breaking through the innate realm will the five-element pseudo-spiritual roots be born.

----

Xu Fugui checked the condition of the spiritual plants in the space inside his body and found that they were all growing well.

Another benefit of internal space: there will be no drought, flooding, insect pests, etc.

Next to the trunk of the treasure tree, there is a storage box.

Xu Fugui took out three flying swords and exited the space inside his body.

The three flying swords left by Kong Xiao had become worn and dull after several years of practice.

So Xu Fugui went to the blacksmith shop in the city and forged new flying swords in the style of the previous flying swords. The eight flying swords cost him two hundred taels of silver. They were all forged from fine steel that had been tempered a thousand times, and were very fine.

Soon, he heard the howling of Dahei's dog in the distance.

"Not coming?"

In the past, Dahei would drive the prey towards Xu Fugui.

But this time, Dahei's voice lingered in the distance.

"Probably a large prey."

Xu Fugui guessed and followed the sound. Only large prey would not be easily chased by Dahei.

A moment later, Xu Fugui passed through the forest in front of him and saw a wild boar entangled with Dahei in front of him.

The wild boar was covered with thick yellow-brown mane and weighed at least three hundred pounds. Its lower jaw had half-foot-long tusks extending from it, and it grunted as it moved towards Dahei.

Dahei knew that he couldn't confront the prey in front of him head-on, so he used his agility to dodge and entangle it, trying to lead it towards Xu Fugui.

Xu Fugui shook his wrist, and the flying sword flashed white light in the air and accurately hit the weak point on the wild boar's neck dozens of meters away.

"Pfft~"

The flying sword penetrated the wild boar's neck with powerful force, leaving only the handle.

Blood spurted out immediately.

The wild boar grunted and struggled in panic, rolling and fleeing, and Xu Fugui launched another flying sword.

The angle of his flying knife was even more tricky, piercing the wild boar's throat as it rolled over.

The wild boar fell to the ground and died without much struggle.

Xu Fugui stepped forward, tied the wild boar tightly with a hemp rope, and dragged it out of Baihe Mountain.

He killed a wild boar weighing three hundred kilograms with his two flying knives.

This is Xu Fugui's hunting efficiency.

It was not easy to drag a three-hundred-pound wild boar through the mountains and forests. He took a lot of effort to bring it out of Baihe Mountain.

Just after leaving Baihe Mountain, he saw people in official uniforms patrolling at the intersection.
