Cultivating a family of immortals

At the summit of the snow-covered mountain, dozens of pavilions stand tall. From above, the location of these pavilions has its own mystique, and as the heavy snow falls, they create a beautiful scene.

At this moment, Wu Yuanzuo led the Xu brothers, Chang Le and Xu Yuanzuo, off the spirit boat.

Xu Guanyi slowly opened his eyes on Xu Changle's back, and was taken aback by what he saw.

"Brother, where is this...?"

This was also Xu Changle's first time riding in such a divine vessel as the Spirit Boat, and he was extremely excited.

"Don't speak. We've arrived at the mountain. Guan Yi... you've developed a spiritual root. Our Xu family is about to rise to prominence!"

Xu Guan listened in a daze, feeling somewhat bewildered for a moment.

"Spiritual roots... what are they?"

Wu Yuanzuo made a hand seal, and the spirit boat quickly shrank to the size of a palm before carefully placing it in his sleeve.

"This object can fly through the air; it is a precious immortal artifact of the Haoran Immortal Sect, and is called the Spirit Boat."

"We need this item when we go up the mountain. The ten fellow disciples guarding the spirit fields below take turns holding it."

"It just so happens that it's my turn recently, so you guys are lucky."

Wu Yuanzu smiled slightly and led the two toward a pavilion in front of them.

As the three approached, they saw the words "Righteous Spirit" written on the plaque above the gate, with couplets on either side: "Immortals and mortals are nowhere to be found" and "The origin of destiny lies beneath our feet."

"This is the entrance to the Haoran Immortal Sect. This place is also used as a testing ground for spiritual roots and is called the Immortal Guiding Tower."

As they were talking, an old Taoist priest carrying a whisk walked out of the pavilion.

Wu Yuanzuo's eyes lit up, and he quickly stepped forward, cupping his hands in greeting, saying, "Greetings, Uncle-Master Lin Feizi!"

"Hmm." Lin Feizi nodded lightly, made a hand gesture, and a long sword suddenly appeared under his feet. He stepped onto the long sword, and the long sword carried him through the air and flew forward.

It looks like they're going down the mountain.

Upon witnessing this miraculous scene, the Xu brothers, Chang Le and Guan Yi, gaped slightly, seemingly forgetting to breathe for a moment.

As the snow fell heavily, the immortal master rose on his sword, a scene that seemed like a miracle to the two who had been cultivating the spiritual seedlings for years.

Wu Yuanzuo also looked envious.

"You two are very lucky today. Uncle-Master Lin Feizi is the second elder of my Haoran Immortal Sect. His cultivation has transcended that of ordinary people and entered the Foundation Establishment stage, which is why he can fly on a sword."

As he spoke, he muttered to himself, "How strange, why must we pass by the Immortal Guiding Pavilion to descend the mountain? Why is Uncle-Master Lin taking this route?"

The two brothers didn't understand what he was saying; they just found it incredibly amazing.

In the past, when they were farming at the foot of the mountain, the only immortal masters they had seen besides Wu Yuanzuo were the stewards who came to distribute the spiritual seedlings and collect the harvest.

The steward, named Immortal Master Lin Qingheng, had never seen him fly.

I doubt he can fly either.

So, does that mean a flying immortal master is not a mortal?

"Yuan Zuo, there was no summons from within the sect today. What brings you here?" A woman's voice, as clear as a nightingale's, rang out.

Wu Yuanzuo immediately led the two into the pavilion, where they saw a stone platform in the center of the empty pavilion, and a futon next to the stone platform, on which sat a woman dressed in light green silk.

"Greetings, Senior Sister Lin Wan. I was on duty today and came across these two Spirit Plant Gentlemen. I noticed that one of them has developed a spiritual root, so I brought him here to test him," Wu Yuanzuo said with a cupped hand and a smile.

"Oh?" Lin Wan immediately stood up, her gaze sweeping over Xu Changle before settling on Xu Guanyi.

"Come down and place your hands on this stone platform," Lin Wan said directly.

Xu Changle quickly put Guan Yi down. Guan Yi placed his hand on the stone platform as instructed by the fairy. After a moment, four faint beams of light of different colors suddenly appeared on the stone platform.

"The four elemental roots: metal, wood, water, and earth?" Lin Wan smiled slightly. "That's not bad..."

Before the words were finished, the four-colored spiritual roots intertwined and slowly changed color, from dark blue to light blue, and finally slowly separated into two pillars of light, both of which were dark green.

Lin Wan and Wu Yuanzuo were immediately shocked.

"This...this is..."

Lin Wan stared blankly at the scene for a moment before snapping out of her daze. With slightly trembling hands, she took out a communication jade talisman from her bosom, made a hand seal, and said, "Come quickly, the alien spiritual root has appeared!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the communication talisman transformed into a beam of light and flew out of the pavilion.

Xu Guan stared blankly at the fairy in front of him, her face pale, and thought to himself, "She's really beautiful."

Xu Changle frowned, thinking to himself, "This is bad. Could it be that they've figured it out?"

He quickly cupped his hands and addressed Wu Yuanzuo, saying, "Immortal Master, what does 'unique spiritual root' mean?"

Wu Yuanzuo snapped out of his daze and looked at Xu Guanyi with a complicated expression.

"Your Xu family... is truly about to soar to new heights!"

…………

Lin Feizi, who had previously flown down the mountain on his sword, arrived in an instant. His sword speed was so fast that it created a series of sonic booms.

The heavy snow was blown into the pavilion. In the blink of an eye, everyone saw Lin Feizi standing in front of the stone platform. After a brief glance, he reached out and took Xu Guanyi's pulse.

A moment later, his hand trembled slightly as he released it, and a light shone in his eyes.

"That's right, it is indeed a life-giving root that has mutated from the four spiritual roots of metal, water, wood, and earth."

"What's your name?"

Xu Guanyi looked at the kind-looking immortal master before him and said, "My name is Xu Guanyi!"

"Guanyi, not bad, not bad. Do you want to cultivate immortality?" Lin Feizi looked at Xu Guanyi with bright eyes.

Xu Guanyi turned around and glanced at Xu Changle.

Xu Changle quickly spoke on Xu Guanyi's behalf, saying, "Immortal Master, my younger brother wishes to cultivate!"

"Hahaha! And what's your name?"

"My name is Xu Changle."

"Well done, Xu family. From this day forward, Xu Guanyi will be my personal disciple." Lin Feizi looked at Xu Guanyi with eager eyes.

Even though Xu Guanyi was young, he understood the meaning of the immortal master in front of him.

So, Xu Guanyi slowly knelt down.

"Greetings, Master."

"Okay, okay!"

As he spoke, Lin Feizi took out a token from his pocket and handed it to Xu Guanyi.

Xu Guan stared blankly at the large characters "Shuang Mu Lin" written on the token, speechless.

…………

Down the mountain, Xu Wanghe and Li Rongping looked outside and saw that it was already dark, and the couple were somewhat anxious.

"How can you let Chang Le take Guan Yi to see a doctor? Chang Le is a child too!" Li Rongping complained, a rare occurrence for her.

"This..." Xu Wanghe hesitated for a moment, but finally put on his coat and prepared to go out to town to look for it.

Unexpectedly, just as they stepped outside, they saw an object as large as a small boat on a river flying through the air.

Xu Wanghe was old and knowledgeable, so he naturally recognized that this thing was an object of immortals, and it seemed to be called a spirit boat.

In the blink of an eye, the spirit boat landed in front of the Xu family's gate.

Wu Yuanzuo led Xu Changle down from the spirit boat, smiling and cupping his hands in greeting to Xu Wanghe, saying, "Patriarch Xu, what good fortune you have!"

Xu Wanghe was startled upon hearing this and immediately tried to kneel down.

Wu Yuanzuo quickly stepped forward and personally helped him up, comforting him, "Don't be afraid. Your Guan Yi has developed a spiritual root and has now joined the sect as the Second Elder's personal disciple. I brought your eldest son back this time, firstly to congratulate him, and secondly to ask you about the future of your Xu family."
