Immortality: Becoming an Immortal Starting with the Druid

Xu Shimao was surprised, but he didn't say anything more.

Everyone has the right to choose, and everyone has the reason to do so.

The premise is that he has enough strength.

Xu Yunxin has it now.

"You can stay there if you want, but let's be clear, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."

Xu Shimao's meaning was clear: he was telling Xu Yunxin that if he wanted to continue staying in Qingxi Town, a place that no one could control, he would have to give up other better options.

Seeing Xu Yunxin nod firmly, Xu Shimao stopped trying to persuade him and just looked at Xu Yunxin and Yue Shaohua with great interest for a while.

In Xu Shimao's view, Xu Yunxin's decision to stay in Qingxi Town probably also stemmed from the idea that even heroes can't resist the charms of a beautiful woman.

"Tell me, what resources and support are you planning to write about?"

Xu Yunxin had already thought of an answer to his grandfather Xu Shimao's question.

However, his original plan was to first have a showdown with the eldest son's family upon his return, and Xu Shimao would then make an investment based on his performance in the struggle.

But now, Xu Shimao places the bet directly; he only needs to make his demands.

"Grandpa, I want to choose another spirit beast, and also some more people, spirit stones, spirit herbs, and spirit materials."

Xu Yunxin made an outrageous demand, listing all the essential items that Qingxi Town needed.

His words caused Xu Yunhua to choke and spit out a mouthful of tea, thinking to himself, "Eighth Brother, you're really asking for too much!"

Xu Shimao shook his head with a wry smile, pondered for a moment, and said, "Spirit stones, spirit herbs, and spirit materials are easier to deal with. Although my family isn't well-off, we can still spare some."

"Okay, I'll write you a note later. You can take it to the clan treasury to withdraw the money, but the total amount cannot exceed eight thousand spirit stones!"

Xu Shimao started with the easiest problem to solve, speaking almost without pause, and then added, "The matter of spirit beasts is also easy to discuss. What type do you want?"

After asking, Xu Shimao felt that his question was unnecessary, so he said to Xu Yunhua, "Yunhua, take Yunxin to the family's spirit beast shop later. If there is one that he likes, he can pick it. If not, then we can only go to Wancheng to take a look."

"Let's make this clear first: you can choose the spirit beasts at home, but you'll have to pay for the spirit beasts in Wancheng yourself with spirit stones."

Xu Shimao emphasized one point to Xu Yunxin before finally getting back to the topic of population.

"As for the population, this family can't help either."

Seeing that Xu Yunxin was about to speak, Xu Shimao raised his hand to stop him, saying, "Qingxi Town is too remote. It's not appropriate to send anyone there. Even if they do go, they won't be able to settle down. If they harbor resentment, they might cause trouble at a crucial moment."

Xu Yunxin understood all the principles Xu Shimao was talking about, but what he wanted was different from what Xu Shimao was thinking.

"Grandpa, what if I only want mortals?"

"You only want mortals?"

Xu Shimao was taken aback, but he immediately realized what he meant and frowned, saying, "You want to train cultivators yourself?"

Even if cultivators in this world can cultivate to the point of plucking stars and seizing the moon, or cutting off rivers and streams, and possess boundless power with every move they make, they all started as mortals.

Strictly speaking, mortals are the root of cultivators.

Regardless of the family or power, there are always vassal villages and towns that continue the family line.

The Xu family has seven major surnames: Xu, Zhang, Cao, Qin, Wang, Zhao, and Liu, as well as four vassal villages and towns.

"If they are ordinary people, you can recruit them yourself, take as many as you can, but Grandpa has one request: you must act within your capabilities, and never take ordinary people's lives lightly!"

Xu Yunxin was fierce towards the barbarians, but there was a reason for it.

Qingxi Town is currently short of people. If these ordinary people go there and are not lazy and are wholeheartedly dedicated to serving Qingxi Town, he will definitely cherish them and will not mistreat them in the slightest.

He was willing to give away all the resources that were beneficial to the transformation of mortals, such as red mushrooms and monster meat, to the mortals!

When the town's spirit rice is harvested in the future, those who are loyal and have made contributions will also be able to eat spirit rice.

If this continues for several years, a group of cultivators can be produced through sheer hard work!

After discussing the population issue, Xu Shimao took out a purple talisman and, with a pained expression, wrote a note and handed it to Xu Yunxin.

After Xu Yunxin took the note, Xu Shimao, who had been bleeding heavily, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He picked up his teacup, took a sip of tea to moisten his throat, and was about to chat with his two most successful grandsons about everyday matters.

Xu Yunxin then said, "Grandpa, I left home early and didn't learn any magic. Could you write me another note so I can go to the family's Dharma Transmission Pavilion to learn some Taoist magic?"

Cultivation families like the Xu family, with their orderly lineage, also have their own important places for transmitting their teachings, which contain the cultivation techniques and secret arts that the Xu family has collected over the years.

In addition to practicing the family's "Heavenly One Treasure Talisman," Xu family descendants can also choose two spells or secret techniques to cultivate when they break through to the early, middle, or late stages of Qi Refining.

Xu Yunxin had time to get there before, and he was able to reach Qingxi Town quickly, but he didn't get to learn the magic before setting off. He's determined to make up for it this time he's back.

Xu Shimao readily agreed. He then took out a purple talisman, wrote a note, and instructed Xu Yunxin to go to the Transmission Pavilion to select cultivation methods and secret techniques.

After finishing their business, Xu Shimao didn't shy away from Yue Shaohua and chatted with his two grandsons for a while, imparting some knowledge and skills on cultivation and taming spirit beasts.

After learning that Yue Shaohua was an alchemist, Xu Shimao reminded Xu Yunxin that when he went to the Transmission Pavilion to choose cultivation techniques and secret arts, he must also help Yue Shaohua choose an alchemy-related cultivation technique to inherit!

Xu Yunxin naturally wouldn't refuse such a good opportunity.

Moreover, he not only wanted to choose one for Yue Shaohua, but also planned to choose one for Uncle Fu and Yue Yinping!

Anyway, this order was personally approved by the clan chief, and it didn't specify how many categories to choose!

When Xu Yunxin and Xu Yunhua emerged from the "Rainbow Light and Cloud Array" atop Huagou Mountain, they did not see the eldest son's family or anyone else come to cause trouble.

Without a doubt, it must have been Xu Shimao who arranged it in advance, suppressing the eldest son's family who couldn't see the situation clearly.

It's good that there aren't any annoying flies, so Xu Yunxin had his second brother lead him to the clan storehouse to pick out supplies.

The clan storehouse was located in a cave very close to the ancestral hall, and was equipped with a separate second-tier low-grade protective array.

The clan storehouse was guarded by two elders, who were of the same generation as Grandpa Xu Shimao.

After Xu Yunxin took out the petition written by Xu Shimao, the two uncles activated the magic array, allowing only Xu Yunxin to enter.

From the outside, the entire clan storehouse looks like an ordinary cave, but inside it is a completely different world.

The cave was neatly divided into four sections, each containing magical artifacts, precious materials, elixirs, and talismans.

These four areas are each divided into three layers, with treasures placed in layers according to their grade.

The lowest level contains the most treasures, but they are also the lowest in quality.

The top layer contains the fewest treasures, but also the highest quality.

Each layer of treasure is surrounded by a protective light shield, which can only be activated by the corresponding incantation.

What's the point of watching this?!

Let's just grab a list and pick what we need, then settle the bill directly!
