Building a long-lasting family lineage starting with genealogy

Chapter 463: The Progress of the Group, Qingniu Han Family (Bonus Chapter for Monthly Tickets!)

Over the years.

The cultivation levels of everyone in the Xu family have all improved, with those above the Golden Core stage generally advancing by one level.

Among them, Xu Mingyuan, after years of study, successfully grasped the first chapter of "Nine Chapters of Heavenly Talisman".

Now they can condense runes in the void and form magical powers.

Of course, every powerful third-tier spell requires constant practice to master.

It can even reach the level of instantaneous activation.

Of course, the Heavenly Talisman inheritance also includes special offensive talismans.

Characters such as "kill character", "bind character", "trapped character", and "control character" are all core inheritances.

If Xu Mingyuan were to learn this, it would be of immense benefit, allowing him to adapt his combat strategies in countless ways.

The Way of Talismans, combined with his talents of "Dragon and Snake Strokes" and "Insight into the Subtle and Profound," allows him to see into people's hearts and weaknesses.

Xu Mingyuan was able to reach the level of a prodigy even in the Golden Core stage.

His fighting style is similar to Xu Mingxian's; both can be described as unpredictable.

There are almost no ones in the same realm who can restrain them, unless they are defeated quickly with overwhelming strength.

Xu Mingshu's life has been relatively simple these past few years, focusing on cultivating spirit beasts, strengthening the Tian Shu Sect, and improving her cultivation.

He is now at the late stage of the second level of the Golden Core realm.

Among the Golden Core cultivators of the Xu family, he was one of the lowest in terms of cultivation level.

As for Xu Mingxian, Ye Fan, and Xu Deyue, they all broke through to the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm one after another.

Xu Mingxian's array formation has broken through to the half-step fourth level.

It was mainly thanks to the discussion with Master Baigu that he gained a lot of inspiration.

Otherwise, it would probably take another two or three years to reach that level.

In addition, his level of control has also improved considerably.

Among the De generation, several have reached the peak of Foundation Establishment and are all trying to comprehend the true meaning of supernatural powers.

Among the Chong generation, some have begun to reach the pinnacle of Foundation Establishment, such as Xu Chongming, the eldest son of Dejing.

Dezhao's eldest daughter, Xu Chongwan.

They are all among the older members of the Chong generation.

As for those who go further, there are not many who reach the peak of Foundation Establishment. Among the Wen generation, there is currently only Xu Wenjing.

However, they are mostly in the Foundation Establishment stage.

Most of the younger generation in the Xu family who are in the Qi Refining stage are teenagers under the age of twenty.

The level of a family member determines their rank.

For example, a Foundation Establishment clan might only produce one Foundation Establishment cultivator every few decades.

In families with Golden Core cultivation, as long as one's aptitude isn't too bad, there's a 60-70% chance of advancing to Foundation Establishment.

In the Xu family, almost all of their descendants are currently capable of reaching the Foundation Establishment stage.

Multiple fourth-order spiritual veins and a vast amount of Qi-refining resources—this is the foundation of the Xu family.

Of course, once they reach the Foundation Establishment stage or higher, they can only rely on themselves.

Only those who are exceptionally outstanding will receive the attention of their elders.

Xu Chongfei, who is only thirty-three years old, is already at the peak of the eighth level of Foundation Establishment.

Before the age of thirty-six, one can achieve complete foundation building.

Such speed would place him among the top Foundation Establishment prodigies even among the most powerful Nascent Soul cultivators.

Furthermore, the rudimentary form of its supernatural powers and true meaning has reached a balance of 40%.

Once the foundation is fully established, it may reach 60% or even 70%.

This is how things are progressing.

He can break the Xu family's record for the fastest supernatural power core formation.

Xu Chongjian was no less capable than Xu Chongfei, but he lacked the assistance of innate Qi.

His cultivation progress was naturally inferior.

However, he has now reached the sixth level of Foundation Establishment, and his understanding of swordsmanship has not lagged behind.

He often went out to train, hunt monsters, spar with rogue cultivators, or contemplate the nature.

The true essence of swordsmanship has reached 30% completion.

Such a speed of comprehension absolutely earns him the title of a swordsmanship prodigy.

All I can say is that he is indeed very well-suited for kendo.

He has even begun to create prototypes of supernatural techniques based on his existing understanding of swordsmanship.

Once activated.

In a direct confrontation, someone who has reached the Foundation Establishment stage but has not yet comprehended supernatural powers would absolutely be unable to withstand this move.

Within the Xu family, including its members, the potential of Xu family disciples can be divided into four levels.

They are respectively ordinary, excellent, genius, and prodigy.

Even those with ordinary potential have the potential to reach the Foundation Establishment stage and even the level of genius.

There is a considerable probability that one will advance to the Golden Core stage.

As for the prodigies, only by cultivating their supernatural abilities to form their core can they hope to reach the Nascent Soul stage in the future, thanks to the nurturing foundation of the Xu family.

----------

The Kuru-in Academy.

Xu Chuan sat cross-legged under the tree.

He comprehended the meaning of the innate cycle of growth and decay, and his aura connected with the withered and flourishing tree.

This seems to be helpful to them.

One hour later.

Xu Chuan slowly opened his eyes and muttered to himself, "The meaning of innate decay and prosperity is indeed difficult to comprehend."

If one could comprehend the rudimentary form of its true meaning, one could easily create powerful supernatural abilities.

Take your time.

Xu Chuan was not discouraged. With the belief that "Heaven rewards diligence," he was always able to figure things out.

"Now, Mingxian's comprehension of the fourth-order array Dao and Deling's crafting of the superior-grade magic weapon are nearing completion."

At most ten years, I will surely be able to grasp the essence of success.

However, fourth-tier teleportation arrays are estimated to be several more years away.

"As for De Ling, once his weapon-forging skills reach the level of a high-grade magic weapon, it's time to put the Returning to Heaven Forging Sect on the agenda."

The forging of top-tier magic weapons would be extremely slow without guidance.

Moreover, if we stay any longer, Yanlongzi will probably have to come to our door in person.

Xu Chuan made the same arrangement for Xu Mingxian.

However, he will be there later, after he has comprehended and set up the fourth-order teleportation array.

After all, we still need to ask Zhang Fan for the spatial coordinates of some cities with teleportation arrays.

It would be too time-consuming to negotiate with each company one by one.

Once the fourth-order teleportation array is successfully deployed, Yunxi City will experience tremendous growth.

With this in mind, Xu Chuan composed himself and began cultivating the next supernatural power.

The three supernatural abilities obtained from the "Other Shore" organization—"Shadow Strike," "Shadow Escape," and "Thousand Faces Technique"—are all very practical.

If he can upgrade them to perfection, Xu Chuan will be able to remotely control the sword formation and also use it for close-quarters combat to instantly assassinate targets.

Even the threat level to those in the Nascent Soul stage will be greatly increased.

If he were to encounter a Nascent Soul cultivator in the early stages who did not possess a high-grade defensive magic weapon, he might even be able to severely injure them on his own.

Even a small chance of killing.

----------

The main hall of the family.

Xu Dezhao conducts his daily work and practice here.

Suddenly, Xu Chonghui walked in from outside.

Xu Dezhao looked up and asked, "Chonghui, is there something you need here?"

"Father," Xu Chonghui said, clasping his hands in greeting, "Several people want to apply for the Trial of the Prodigies this year."

They are all from the sixth generation of the Jing family, and they all possess the aptitude of Earth Spiritual Roots.

Is there anyone to vouch for you?

"Of course there are. Each lineage has Golden Core cultivators, and the younger generation of the clan will naturally take care of them."

Moreover, those with earth-elemental spiritual roots are indeed qualified to challenge the potential of future prodigies.

"In that case, please compile a written report on the age, cultivation level, strength, character, and other information of these individuals."

Then it was handed over to me and the Grand Elder.

Then we will discuss whether he is qualified to participate in the Trial of the Prodigies.

By the way, regarding the investigation of his character, in addition to asking his parents, elders, relatives and friends.

We'll have to wait for the results of the undercover investigation.

"Understood." Xu Chonghui nodded as he was about to leave.

Xu Dezhao suddenly called out to him again, "By the way, Wenjing has been away on his travels for four years now."

Do you know how he is now?

“My Xu family has members in every city of Canglong Prefecture, and we also have spies in many markets.”

I am fairly clear about his situation.

It is currently located in a place called Qingniufang City in the southeast.

There is a mountain called Qingniu Mountain, which covers an area of ​​more than 20 li and is the ancestral land of the Qingniu Han family.

Qingniu Market was established by the Han family and is only a dozen miles away from Qingniu Mountain, under their complete control.

The Han family's strength is average. Although they have a Golden Core cultivator, he has been stuck at the peak of the early Golden Core stage for over a hundred years, unable to break through.

"Looking back, I guess I was just lucky to have reached the Golden Core stage."

"How are the descendants of the Han family of Qingniu?"

"There is a Golden Core seed, who seems to be a genius with a Heavenly Spiritual Root, but his overall Foundation Establishment strength is relatively low among Golden Core families."

As for the character of the clansmen and disciples.

It just goes to show that in a big forest, you'll find all sorts of birds.

Not every aristocratic family values ​​the moral character of its members as much as my Xu family does.

Xu Dezhao nodded slightly and smiled, "A remote Golden Core family can still obtain such detailed information."

It seems you specifically had someone gather information.

"After all, he is my own son. Due to regulations, I cannot provide assistance, but I still need to investigate the surrounding dangers."

Moreover, Wenjing was one of the pride of our Xu family, and our great-grandfather also valued him highly.

They said that when he returns after ten years of honing his skills, he will be richly rewarded.

After a pause, Xu Chonghui pondered, "With Wenjing's current level of attainment, ordinary resources are of no use to him."

If one breaks through to the Golden Core stage.

"My Xu family's prodigy can only achieve Core Formation through his own supernatural abilities."

"I know a little about this matter; it seems to be a precious elixir called 'Precious Body Pill'."

It can help Wenjing cultivate his body to reach the peak of the second stage.

There should also be a "Spirit Nourishing Pill" to help him break through the limits of his spiritual consciousness. In that case, his ability to form a golden core will most likely be achieved without any obstacles.

"Father, have you broken through the limits of your divine sense now?"

"Naturally, otherwise it wouldn't have reached 90% of the true meaning so quickly."

Within a few years, I have a premonition that I will be able to achieve the supernatural power of forming a core!

Upon hearing this, Xu Chonghui smiled slightly and clasped his hands in greeting again, saying, "Then I would like to congratulate Father in advance."

"My talent is only average; I just benefit from having more time."

Otherwise, they would be in the same situation as some fifth or sixth generation descendants today.

“During my father’s time, the Xu family had a small population, so they naturally used all their resources to cultivate the land.”

This would be the same for any aristocratic family.

However, if the population grows to hundreds or thousands, it becomes impossible to continue doing this.

Xu Dezhao sighed, "Yes, even with the vast resources of my Xu family today, it would be difficult to achieve this."

At most, we can help them reach the Foundation Establishment stage; as for what comes after that, they will have to fight and compete for it themselves.

By the way, how well have you grasped the true meaning now?

Xu Chonghui sighed, "Having only reached 60% of the true meaning, it's already difficult to continue."

As expected, not everyone can or is suitable for the path of forming a golden core through supernatural powers.

No wonder no one had been able to traverse the entire Azure Dragon Prefecture for hundreds of years.

Even with some understanding, one might get stuck at the last two or three tenths.

“It’s alright. In a couple of days, I’ll discuss it with my second uncle and then ask my grandfather for the ‘Nourishing Spirit Pill’ again.”

Given your status and position, you are qualified to access these top-tier resources.

Once one's spiritual sense breaks through its limits, comprehension becomes much simpler.

"Then the child thanks his father."

Xu Chonghui's expression revealed a hint of joy.

Nowadays, Xu Chuan is increasingly distant from the Xu family's descendants, with only the second generation and a few third generations remaining.

And geniuses like Xu Chongfei and Xu Chongjian, who can speak with Xu Chuan and even make requests.

Even Xu Chonghui sometimes felt uneasy and dared not directly ask Xu Chuan for help.

Xu Dezhao took in his expression. "Actually, if you need anything, just ask your father."

There's no need to ask in roundabout ways.

"Grandfather is so wise; you can just go to him for help, and he will treat you fairly."

"My great-grandfather's influence is growing stronger and stronger, and I can't help but feel uneasy when I'm in his presence."

The others dared not disturb them.

The Grand Elder had also given an order that ordinary clansmen should not disturb the Great-Grandfather unless it was for urgent matters.

“You are no ordinary person.” Xu Dezhao shook his head and chuckled. “You are the future head of the family, personally appointed by my grandfather.”

My Xu family wields considerable power.

Even if you are not particularly talented, you can still receive top-notch training.

We won't lack your resource.

Chonghui means that you yourselves are actively distancing yourselves from your grandfather.

Do you expect him to personally explain things to you and try to curry favor with you?

"I understand now, I was wrong."

Xu Chonghui bowed respectfully, then slowly left.

Soon.

Xu Dezhao sent a message to Xu Mingyuan, wanting to apply for a high-grade "Nourishing Spirit Pill" resource for him.

【Can】

Xu Mingyuan replied after a moment.

The next day.

Xu Dezhao then went to find Xu Chuan, who didn't say anything but simply gave him a porcelain bottle.

"Thank you, Grandfather."

"Although Chonghui is busy with affairs, you must not let him neglect his spiritual practice."

“My grandson understands, I will remind him.”

"Go."

"Grandson takes his leave."

Xu Chonghui was naturally excited to obtain the "Nourishing Spirit Pill".

This pill is one of the most valuable resources in the Xu family, second only to the "Golden Elixir" and other similar pills in quantity.

To prepare thoroughly, he deliberately set aside all his affairs, burned incense, fasted, and meditated for three days.

Then he went into seclusion to focus on his studies.

A few days later, the limit was successfully broken.

----------

Qingniufang Market.

The market town was not large, covering an area of ​​six or seven li in circumference.

Many independent cultivators have settled here.

There is a weapon-refining shop here, named Jing's Weapon-Refining Shop, and the shop owner is a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

It is called Jingwen.

He was middle-aged, with a dignified appearance and an air of authority.

That's right, this person is Xu Jingwen, who went out on a travel mission.

There were only two weapon-refining apprentices in the shop, both at the mid-stage of Qi Refining, whom Jing Wen had recruited to help out.

suddenly.

A middle-aged, burly man with a large beard walked over.

Her hair was like a bird's nest, looking almost unkempt and extremely sloppy.

"Fellow Daoist Jing, I, Hu, have come to see you."

"Greetings, Senior Hu." The two Qi Refining apprentices bowed respectfully before continuing their blacksmithing.

Stepping inside, you'll find a living room.

Upon hearing the sound, Xu Wenjing came out from the back hall and said with a smile, "Fellow Daoist Hu, what brings you here?"

"Could it be that something's wrong with your magical artifact again?"

"Hehe, Brother Jing is the smartest. Of all the weapon refiners in Qingniu Workshop, I only trust you!"

Xu Wenjing pursed his lips, gestured for him to sit down, and offered to make him tea.

"Fellow Daoist Hu, you understand the art of language. It's just that my price is cheap."

"Am I that kind of person? Even if Fellow Daoist Jing increases it by another 50% or 60%..."

Mr. Hu will definitely patronize your little shop.

"So my price went up?"

"It's really gone up?!" the bearded, burly man exclaimed in astonishment.

I was just saying it offhand, do you really have to be so obedient?

Xu Jingwen said, "There won't be a price increase this time, but it will definitely be next time."

"I'm informing you first."

Why so suddenly?

"Jing has made a breakthrough in weapon crafting and is now able to craft top-tier magic weapons. Fellow Daoist Hu, don't you think the price should be increased?"

"I see, congratulations!"

The bearded man clasped his hands in congratulations and said repeatedly, "As a second-tier weapon refiner, the fees for refining and repairing weapons should naturally increase."

However, one must reach the level of a second-tier weapon refiner.

Knowing that the Han family of Qingniu is aware of this, they will likely come to invite you, fellow Daoist.

You'd better be prepared.
