From the family treasure tree to build an eternal family

Chapter 79 Frankness
A few mornings later.

Xu Xiaoyun asked the waiters to open the door of "Yun'an Tavern" and start business for the day.

After a while, several burly men came to the door carrying gift boxes of tea and cakes.

Their faces were filled with smiles, a hint of flattery in their smiles. They were the same people who had extorted two hundred taels of silver from Xu Xiaoyun a few days ago.

"Morning, Shopkeeper Xu."

"Manager Xu, we're here to apologize. There was a small misunderstanding between us before."

A little misunderstanding? Haha.

Xu Xiaoyun sneered in his heart. He knew that these people came to curry favor with his elder brother because they learned that his elder brother was about to be given an official position.

As the saying goes, don't hit someone who smiles at you, so he won't fall out with these people. In business, profit comes first.

"I don't blame you. It's because someone is behind the scenes trying to instigate and slander you, which is why you misunderstand that my wine is not good."

"Yes, that's what Shopkeeper Xu said."

"Manager Xu is truly a magnanimous man. I admire him."

As they spoke, they put down the gift box and returned the two hundred taels of silver to Xu Xiaoyun.

"Manager Xu, my family is having a birthday party for my father next month, and we'd like to order all the wine for the party from you."

"My family is the same. From now on, I will buy wine from you for all my banquets."

Several people ordered hundreds of jars of wine on the spot.

The Demon-Suppressing Division Yamen is located in a remote area of ​​the county town.

The mansion exudes a solemn and murderous atmosphere, with a two-meter-wide gate and a gold-plated plaque with a black background hanging in the doorway: [Demon Subduing Division].

There are usually not many people coming and going here, and the "Demon Guards" that occasionally appear are all cultivators or warriors above the innate level.

At this time, inside the Demon Subduing Division.

Li Mang knelt on one knee, clasped his hands together and said, "Director, what about my official status?"

"Let's just forget about this matter and don't mention it again."

Jing Zhuo's tone was cold, and there was no emotion in his words.

Li Mang was unwilling to give up, so he took the risk and spent a lot of money to kill Fan Yang, who was competing with him for the official position. He wasted nearly a year to cultivate his internal strength and spent a lot of money on Qi and Blood Pills.

Besides, Jing Zhuo had promised him before.

"But... Director, why? Can't you think of another way?"

"Hmm? Are you questioning my decision?"

There was anger in Jing Zhuo's tone.

In his mind, Li Mang was just a slave, so how could he be qualified to question him?
"My subordinates dare not."

Li Mang lowered his head, realizing that he had spoken out of turn.

"Go back."

"Yes."

Li Mang stood up and stepped back, leaving the Demon Subduing Division.

But the more he thought about it, the more unwilling he became. He heard about Xu Xiaoniu from the Xu family and knew that it was Xu Xiaoniu who stole his official status.

The military officer status is his hope of being promoted to an immortal officer, and it is his chance to change his fate in this life!

"I heard that Xu Xiaoniu hasn't achieved the first-class military merit yet. He hasn't been given an official title yet, so I still have a chance."

He was determined to go all out.

If you can kill Fan Yang, you can kill Xu Xiaoniu!

"Since the director didn't say it explicitly, I'll show him. I don't believe that if that man dies, the official title won't be passed on to me."

If Jing Zhuo knew what Li Mang was thinking, he would definitely kill him without hesitation.

Xu Xiaoniu was indeed not yet an official, and strictly speaking, he had not obtained official status.

However, Xu Xiaoniu's first-class military merit was awarded by the great foundation-building monk Yan Yijin.

What's the difference between killing Xu Xiaoniu at such a critical moment and slapping Yan Yijin in the face?

Baihe Village.

Xu family’s old house, backyard.

Xu Xiaoniu is practicing the "Five Elements Posture Meditation", which is the innate part of the posture meditation.

Xu Xiaogou walked around him, observing every detail of his movements and breathing rhythm.

"Hu~~"

Xu Xiaoniu finished a round of standing meditation and exhaled.

"Brother, you have practiced it well this time. It's perfect. Take a rest for a while and let dad start to boil the medicine soup." Xu Xiaogou taught him for two or three days and practiced the innate part of the stance training to perfection.

While Xu Xiaoniu was resting, Xu Fugui went to the herbal medicine room to start a fire and boil the five elements elixir soup.

Half an hour later, a bowl of steaming medicinal soup was served.

Xu Xiaoniu picked up the full bowl of medicine and drank it all. The colorless and transparent Five Elements Spiritual Medicine Soup had only a faint medicinal flavor.

"let's start."

Xu Fugui and Xu Xiaogou were watching from the side. His family was about to welcome the third innate warrior.

Xu Xiaoniu stood still, adjusted his breathing, and practiced the ten-style dynamic stance.

He had mastered the third level of standing meditation two years ago, and since then he has been practicing standing meditation every day and taking a large number of Qi and blood pills.

The energy and blood in his body surged like a rainbow, and his meridians and acupoints were tempered and opened up, becoming increasingly resilient.

After finishing a round of standing meditation, his body was as red as blood and heat was steaming out of his hair.

The second time he practiced the standing meditation, his muscles and bones roared like a sluice gate releasing floodwaters, and strands of internal energy grew and flowed through his meridians.

After that, he practiced the standing meditation for ten consecutive times, and it took two hours to finish.

"Is this internal energy?"

Xu Xiaoniu felt the internal strength stored in the kidney palace, which could be called into the meridians at any time.

Wherever the internal energy passes, the strength of nearby muscles and bones increases tenfold, and the body surface becomes as hard as steel.

"Big brother!"

Xu Xiaogou was shocked. He saw that Xu Xiaoniu generated internal strength after practicing the stance meditation for the second time, and then he practiced the stance meditation ten times. How much internal strength could he generate?
"How much inner strength do you have?"

"How much internal energy?"

Xu Xiaoniu could not accurately describe this problem.

"When you channel your internal energy into the Ren or Du meridian, how much of it can accommodate one main meridian?"

When the three levels of innate training are completed, the internal energy will completely fill the seven main meridians and twelve branch meridians, and spread throughout the body.

When the first level of innateness is cultivated, the amount of internal energy is enough to fill the Ren and Du meridians.

Xu Xiaoniu estimated it and said, "It's probably almost full of the Ren meridian."

"..."

Xu Xiaogou was stunned, as this meant that he was almost halfway to the first level of the innate realm.

After thinking about it, he speculated, "Perhaps Big Brother has already mastered the third level of Zhuang Gong, and continued to cultivate his Qi and blood, which is why he has generated so much internal energy."

"By the way, big brother, go find the county magistrate and appoint him as an official as soon as possible. I don't know who killed Fan Yang before. Some people will do anything to get an official position. We have to be on guard."

Xu Xiaogou reminded.

After he heard about what happened in Fan Yang, he had this worry in his heart.

There was a rumor in the county that Fan Yang was going to be an official, but then Fan Yang died. Now the person who is going to be an official is Xu Xiaoniu.

They have to defend.

"it is good."

Xu Xiaoniu nodded.

At this moment, Xu Fugui, who had been deep in thought for a long time, spoke: "Send a message to Siyun and ask him to come back. I have something to tell everyone."

When Xu Xiaoniu broke through just now, Xu Fugui had been thinking all the time.

Breaking through the Xiantian realm meant possessing five pseudo spiritual roots. This secret couldn't be hidden any longer, so it was time to tell everyone.

The Xu family's development has reached a critical juncture.

"I go."

Xu Xiaogou seemed to guess what his father was going to say, and went to the county town to call Xu Xiaoyun home.

----

into the night.

The door of the main room was closed and a dim candle was lit inside.

Xu Fugui sat in the chair, not knowing what he was thinking.

Jiazhen's face was full of confusion.

Xu Xiaoniu, Xu Xiaogou, Xu Xiaoyun and Xu Xiaoan are all here.

Xu Xiaoyun hurried back from the county town half an hour ago. He didn't know what urgent matter his father wanted to talk about.

Xu Xiaogou leaned against the door, always paying attention to whether anyone was eavesdropping outside.
