Building a long-lasting family lineage starting with genealogy

Chapter 385 Successive Core Formation (Please subscribe! Bonus chapter coming soon!)

"What about my Xu family? Is it possible for them to survive?"

Yang Ronghua's first reaction was to worry about the Xu family.

Xu Mingwei took her soft hand in his and said gently, "Don't worry, my Xu family has been preparing for this day for decades, so we are confident."

He paused for a moment, then asked, "Madam, aren't you worried about the Yang family?"

Yang Ronghua breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Didn't my husband say that Father has preserved the Yang family's bloodline?"

That's enough.

I know that no noble family lasts forever.

The loss of billions of lives is a catastrophe I can hardly imagine.

The Xu family is lucky to be able to protect themselves.

How could I possibly make demands of the Xu family?

"To have such a wife is Wei's greatest fortune."

Xu Mingwei smiled slightly.

"Meeting my husband is the greatest blessing of my life."

The couple gazed into each other's eyes, their eyes filled with tenderness, their love undiminished.

One pair for life people.

Mr. and Mrs. Xu Mingwei can be considered a model couple in the Xu family.

From our first meeting at the Yang Mansion in Qingjiang a century ago to this day, our feelings for each other have never changed.

Although Xu Mingxuan and Xu Mingxian were also monogamous.

However, both Zhang Wanqing and Zhou Zongni were cultivators. Except for the first few years or more, they were both busy with cultivation.

Although Yang Ronghua is now a martial artist, she is still an ordinary woman at heart.

However, despite this, she held an extremely high position in the Xu family.

No one dared to underestimate them!

Two months have passed in the blink of an eye.

someday.

While in the same room as Xu Mingxuan, Xu Mingyuan and Xu Mingqing, who were in seclusion, broke through one after another and were able to condense the seed of supernatural power.

However, Xu Mingyuan comprehended the true meaning of the Dao of Talismans.

It was several times more difficult than Xu Mingqing's.

If it weren't for his innate talent of "The Pen Falls, the Talisman Emerges," he would have had no chance at all.

This talent is greatest in creation!
With a stroke of the pen, a talisman is formed instantly.

The talismans he drew were more effective than those drawn by ordinary talisman masters.

If any members of the Xu family encounter a similar situation in the future and need to retrieve talismans, the Xu family will naturally have the advantage.

As for Xu Mingqing, he has innate talent.

He possesses exceptional comprehension of the wood element, which is why he was able to comprehend 90% of the basic wood elemental techniques so quickly.

The rest of the people were mostly stuck at 40% or 70%.

Xu Dezhao is an example of this.

He has good fire-type talent, but he still failed to comprehend more than 70% of the supernatural power.

After Xu Mingyuan and Xu Mingqing reached the pinnacle of their beginner-level supernatural abilities, they informed Xu Chuan of this news.

Xu Chuan was naturally very happy.

This final step was achieved in just a few months, which, as he had anticipated, likely involved an element of Hsu Ming-hsuan's good fortune.

"You two relax for a few days, and then go into seclusion together to break through to the Golden Core stage in seven days."

"Yes, Father." Neither Xu Mingyuan nor Xu Mingqing refused.

Xu Mingxuan sighed slightly upon seeing this, "You guys should hurry up. I have the help of the top-grade innate spiritual object 'Xuanhuang Stone,' and I have only reached ninety percent of the entry-level supernatural power."

I don't know how long it will take to reach the final bottleneck.

"Third brother, just believe in yourself. You can break through in two or three months at most."

“The child took his father’s good words into consideration.”

Less than a month.

Both of them achieved the Core Formation at the same time.

The celestial phenomenon of elixir formation reappeared in Dongxi.

Perhaps because the two of them formed their core at the same time, the celestial phenomenon of forming the core actually expanded to nearly four hundred miles.

Even the sky was filled with ethereal runes and azure rays of light, each occupying one side.

It's only been a few months.

The successive formation of Core Formation by individuals in Dongxi has caused a great stir in the Immortal Martial Alliance, the Great Wei, the Great Liang, and the Great Jin.

The Immortal Martial Alliance sent people to visit, but they were turned away at the door.

Upon hearing this, the Cao, Sima, and Liu families also tried every means to find out who had achieved the Core Formation.

Unfortunately, they knew nothing about it.

It seems that the Xu family has already entered a state of sealing off the mountain gate.

The Cao family had some suspicions, believing that the Xu family was preparing for a great calamity, hence their actions.

However, the Immortal Martial Alliance was filled with worry.

He also sent people to the Guangling branch to inquire about the situation in Dongxi many times, but Xu Deheng told them not to ask.

For the Xu family, the Immortal Martial Alliance was ultimately just a temporary force.

They benefited from the deterrent effect of the Xu family and the stable situation they created, which also led to their prosperity and development.

Therefore, the Xu family does not feel that they owe them anything.

Whether they can survive the catastrophe depends on their own luck.

After all, the prison covers an area of ​​tens of thousands of miles, and not every place will suffer a devastating blow.

After Xu Mingyuan and Xu Mingqing broke through, thanks to the third-order mid-grade spiritual veins and their own foundation, they directly broke through to the second level of the Golden Core stage.

His spiritual sense and magical power are comparable to those of the mid-stage Golden Core realm.

soon.

Mei Yun emerged from seclusion, having achieved the perfect foundation in cultivation.

Since becoming Xu Chuan's disciple, his cultivation speed has been extraordinary.

Furthermore, given that Xu Chuan didn't even need the cultivation of top-grade pills, it's not impossible for him to break through from the mid-stage of the ninth level of Foundation Establishment to the peak of Foundation Establishment in just a few months.

At his request.

Xu Chuan gave him a two-week break.

Let him go and have a good look around Qingjiang City and Yuehu County.

However, as his cultivation level increased, so did his bad luck. People suffered food poisoning in the restaurants he frequented and vomited in the taverns.

Even those he questions may suddenly suffer an undeserved disaster shortly after parting ways with him.

Mei Yun knew she was special, but she didn't expect it to be so obvious in Qingjiang City, a city full of ordinary people.

Therefore, he really had no desire to take a vacation.

Left with no other choice, he returned to Dongxi and stayed in his room without going out.

To avoid causing trouble for others.

"No wonder Master made me stay in seclusion all this time. I had no idea that my bad luck had gotten this bad."

It's alright for cultivators, but for mortals it's a human calamity!

Why am I so unlucky?

I thought about it for two or three days.

He left the bamboo house and went to ask Xu Chuan for advice, "Master, after I break through to the Golden Core stage, can I really change this situation?"

After visiting Qingjiang City, I realized that I was a human-shaped disaster.

Wherever he goes, trouble follows.

Xu Chuan smiled and looked at him, "Although I don't know the specifics of your constitution, you are not a disaster, you just can't control your abilities right now."

It will actively absorb the luck of others.

Fortune is ethereal and elusive, yet it truly exists between heaven and earth.

A family has its own destiny. When countless family members and servants gather together, people's hearts are united, and the family's fortune is strong, the family will prosper.

A dynasty has its own destiny, which is formed by the convergence of the destiny of countless families and common people.

The interests of powerful clans and the mass deaths of ordinary people can both affect the stability of the dynasty and thus its fortune.

Whether your breakthrough to the Golden Core stage will change this situation, I cannot give a definite answer. However, there is a 60-70% chance that you will experience some special changes.

Mei Yun's gaze was solemn, and he finally sighed, "This disciple understands. Please let this disciple rest for two more days before going into seclusion to break through to the Golden Core stage."

Xu Chuan chuckled, "Whatever you say."

Two days later.

Mei Yun went into seclusion to attempt to break through to the Golden Core stage.

Half a month later.

Xu Mingxuan reached the tenth level of mastery of the Earth Element True Meaning, returned the "Mysterious Yellow Stone," and after only two days of adjustment, went into seclusion to form his elixir.

Of the second generation, he is the only one who has not yet formed his core.

Xu Mingxuan also wanted to catch up with his brothers and sisters as soon as possible.

Xu Mingyuan glanced at the bamboo house where he was in seclusion and said with a faint smile, "It's finally the third brother's turn. After he forms his core, the core-forming members of our Xu family should be able to take a break."

Xu Mingqing said, "The only others with the potential to form their own core are Dezhao, Deheng, and Chonghui. They should all have the potential to form their core through supernatural abilities."

Wen Jing is also progressing, but he has not yet reached the peak of Foundation Establishment.

He turned to look at Xu Chuan, "Father, do you have any plans for the future?"

"De Zhao and the others will naturally be helped to form their cores through supernatural powers. As for the rest, they can contribute from their families. It's impossible for everyone to provide a large amount of resources for them to form their cores."

Even if there are enough resources now.

We must also consider future generations.

After all, Core Formation resources are not so easily obtained.

Xu Mingyuan nodded and said, "Father is right. If something is obtained too easily, it will not be cherished. If resources are suddenly withheld, it may even cause resentment."

If this continues for a long time, it will cause a decline in family cohesion.

Moreover, I observe that among the younger generation of the clan, there are more and more people with outstanding aptitude. In the sixth and seventh generations, there are more than five people with the aptitude of earth spirit roots.

It will be no problem for those with celestial spiritual roots to emerge in the future.

"As a father, I actually prefer to give birth to people with special physical constitutions or talents," Xu Chuan smiled, "It's a difference in aptitude and cultivation."

With the Heavenly Spiritual Root, my Xu family's existing alchemy lineage can completely make up for it.

Even in actual combat, with the assistance of the Dao of Weapons, the Dao of Arrays, and the Dao of Talismans, they will not be inferior to any genius.

However, to become a top prodigy, one needs either a strong physique or exceptional talent.

Of course, even if it doesn't.

With the resources and foundation of my Xu family, we can nurture even one person to the level of a prodigy.

However, this method is ultimately counterproductive.

“Special physiques or talents are indeed rare. I think that after moving my Xu family to Yunxi, we can form marriage alliances with the major families or cultivation geniuses of Canglong Prefecture.”

Xu Mingyuan said, "This will ensure the strength of my Xu family bloodline."

“This is also a method,” Xu Chuan said.

"By the way, Father, what are your plans for your second disciple, Mei Yun?" Xu Mingyuan said, "I feel that he seems to be somewhat special."

"It doesn't hurt to tell you."

"He possesses a special kind of luck-related constitution or talent."

"Similar to the third brother's tendency to seek advantage and avoid harm?"

"Even more terrifying is that if he cannot control himself, he will involuntarily absorb the fortune of those around him, his family, and his power in order to accelerate his own cultivation."

Xu Mingyuan and Xu Mingqing both narrowed their eyes upon hearing this.

Xu Mingqing exclaimed in shock, "There are such terrifying physiques or talents? If a person or force has too low luck, won't disasters befall them one after another?"

Xu Chuan nodded and said, "That's true. He had previously served in three Foundation Establishment families, all of which were destroyed, two of which were destroyed by my Xu family."

As for himself, he always managed to leave before his power was destroyed, perfectly avoiding any potential loss.

"Amazing! His talent far surpasses that of Third Brother!" Xu Mingqing exclaimed sincerely.

“There are countless physical constitutions and talents in the world, so it’s not surprising that such a case has occurred. In the ancient times of great cultivation, there should have been even more different physical constitutions,” Xu Mingyuan said.

“Your second brother is right, so my Xu family should not be complacent because of some achievements.”

"Father, since you've done everything you can to help Mei Yun form his core, does that mean once he forms his core, he'll be able to control his ability to automatically absorb luck?"

"I can't be sure, but he must have a powerful background. However, even if he becomes uncontrollable after forming his core, I have a plan, so you don't need to worry."

The two asked no further questions.

"Mingyuan, go back and study the third-tier talisman carefully. These are the materials for making third-tier talismans, enough for your use."

Xu Chuan tossed him a storage bag.

"Thank you, Father," Xu Mingyuan said, clasping his hands in thanks.

"As for you, Mingqing, you will stay here and follow me to improve your alchemy. Third-grade materials are rare, and it would be a waste to use them in whole batches for practice."

They began their research by studying the fusion of medicinal properties.

In this way, only a small portion of the elixir needs to be taken.

One elixir can be studied dozens or even hundreds of times.

Once the properties of the medicine are mastered and their transformations are understood, the success rate of refining will greatly increase, and the quality will also be improved.

Unlike other ordinary third-tier alchemists who need to consume a large amount of spiritual herbs just to barely refine a low-grade pill.

"Yes, Father." Xu Mingqing bowed respectfully.

Immediately, Xu Mingyuan took to the air and flew back to the mansion.

He first summoned his children, and then inquired about Xu Chongjian's cultivation progress.

"Congratulations, Grandfather, on achieving the Golden Core!" Xu Chongjian respectfully cupped his hands.

"Jian'er, you're very thoughtful. Have you encountered any difficulties in your cultivation lately?"

Xu Chongjian shook his head, "No, but I recently sparred with Brother Fei and was easily defeated by him."

Xu Mingyuan stroked his short beard with a faint smile, "Leaving aside the difference in your cultivation levels, Chongfei had an opportunity in Tiannan that even your elders envied."

Resources are scarce and opportunities are few and far between here.

However, everything you have gained is the result of your own step-by-step cultivation and enlightenment, and the sword techniques you use are also your own creation, which integrates the styles of various schools.

As your great-grandfather said, the path you have taken is the path of creating your own swordsmanship and supernatural abilities.

If you can succeed, your future achievements will certainly be no less than Chongfei's.

"Then, grandfather, what is the divine power of the sword?"

"Well, you should ask Aunt Deyue. She's the only one in our Xu family who has mastered sword techniques and has achieved some success."

Although it's not pure swordsmanship, it should be inspiring for you.

"Thank you, Grandfather. I will go and ask Aunt Deyue for advice."

Xu Chongjian clasped his hands in a respectful gesture with his sword in hand, and then hurriedly took his leave.

"He's not willing to admit defeat, huh? My Xu family really does have a competitive bloodline." Xu Mingyuan watched him leave and said with a faint smile, "But it's fine too."

In the past, Jian'er was the number one genius in the clan, and no one could put pressure on him.

Now there is a peer to catch up with.

That's really good news.

Xu Mingyuan began to meditate and study the third-order talismanic arts.

A few moments.

"With the breakthrough in my soul and realm, it has indeed become ten times easier to comprehend the third-order talismanic path. If I hadn't been in a hurry to break through, I should have been able to comprehend the complete third-order talismanic path during the Foundation Establishment stage."

But it's not too late.

In less than half a month, the first complete third-order talisman will be drawn.

but"

Xu Mingyuan sighed softly, "If it weren't for the talisman materials my father brought back, I'm afraid even with all my strength in Dongxi, I wouldn't be able to collect many sets of third-tier talisman materials for my practice."

Pills, artifacts, arrays, and talismans—these are indeed things that require substantial resources.

Without the father's blessing of corresponding talent, not only would a lot of resources be wasted, but the effort would also be thankless and would not yield much achievement.

Just like other Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment families, Golden Core families, which one doesn't want to cultivate alchemy masters, weapon crafting masters, and so on in their own clan?

Unfortunately, such talents are born into families and are extremely rare, appearing only once in a century.

The only way is to cast a wide net, recruit some independent cultivators who are skilled in this field, provide them with resources, help them grow, and then have them serve their own family.

I'm lucky to have met a loyal one.

If you're unlucky, you'll encounter ungrateful people.

They grow up, then cause trouble, find an excuse to shirk responsibility and leave.

Xu Mingyuan stopped thinking about it and continued to concentrate on practicing the talismans.
