Having already guessed this, Xu Wen was not surprised and asked quietly:
"Senior Brother Liu is so sure that I have the Foundation Establishment Pill?"
"No need to quibble, I came here in person, so I must be absolutely sure!"
As if to dispel Xu Wen's idea of getting through the test, Liu Yubo said directly:
"I raised a spiritual beast that can sense the aura of the Foundation Establishment Pill. I'm not sure about Zhang Jiuting, but you... definitely have it!"
When he said this, there was a sound in his sleeves.
A strange brown bird that had no wings and had needle-like feathers all over its body, a bit like a hedgehog, crawled out.
The needle-like long beak was sniffing in the direction of Xu Wen, and from time to time it made strange calls of "kiwi, kiwi".
"Singing Phoenix Kiwi!"
Seeing the strange bird, Xu Wen couldn't help but exclaimed.
The Singing Phoenix Kiwi is a strange bird with an extremely developed sense of smell. It is said that it has the blood of the Phoenix and can smell things it came into contact with a few months ago. It is very rare.
But other than that, it has no other use. Generally speaking, it is a useless spiritual beast. I didn't expect Liu Yubo to raise one.
The chirping kiwi, like the green clam bug, is a low-level creature with its own mysteries.
The power of creation far exceeds human imagination, and not everything can be judged based on realm.
"That's right, you've seen quite a bit!"
After touching the phoenix kiwi lovingly, Liu Yubo said in a deep voice:
"I spend a lot of spiritual stones every year to buy jade vases and boxes containing Foundation Establishment Pills and the main ingredients of the Foundation Establishment Pills, so that the song phoenix kiwi can smell them."
"I'm pretty sure that you have been exposed to the Foundation Establishment Pill recently. Otherwise, why do you think I didn't go after Zhang Jiuting and came after you!"
Hearing this, Xu Wen secretly cried out for bad luck.
With a treasure like the Foundation Establishment Pill in hand, there are always times when I can’t help but take it out to take a look and smell it.
Although the time spent each time was short and I would wash my hands and cleanse my face afterwards, those methods could only be hidden from ordinary people, certainly not from the song phoenix kiwi.
"Why is Senior Brother Liu so obsessed with the Foundation Establishment Pill? You shouldn't be able to use it?"
Staring at Liu Yubo, Xu Wen said calmly.
He looked around again at all the Liu family members and continued:
"With all due respect, your family members are probably of no use either!"
Liu Yubo is over ninety years old. Although his body is still strong and there are no signs of aging, his vitality has begun to escape.
At this age, there is no hope for foundation building. Any amount of foundation building pills are a waste.
As for his family members, the most outstanding ones, Liu Nichang and Liu Hongyuan, are only at the sixth level of Qi refining, and have not even broken through to the later stages of Qi refining.
Born in this kind of family, with only this level of cultivation at this age, his qualifications must be average, and the possibility of building a foundation is extremely low.
The others were even more unbearable, either with low cultivation or old age, and none of them looked like they could successfully build a foundation.
Hearing what Xu Wen said, everyone in the Liu family suddenly showed angry expressions. The faces of Liu Hongyuan and Liu Nichang were also very ugly. It was unclear whether they were angry or ashamed.
Normally, Xu Wen would not say such things.
Keep a thin line as a human being, and speaking out to hurt others has no other effect than finding enemies for yourself.
But now that the two sides are facing each other, he needs to use this method to explore the Liu family's background, so naturally he can no longer care about his previous feelings.
Moreover, starting from this night, he and the Liu family no longer had any friendship at all.
"It's true that neither I nor they have any use for it, but you only know one, but you don't know the other..."
Liu Yubo was not angry, as if he knew Xu Wen's purpose, he said in a deep voice:
"I have a nephew who has been practicing outside and has reached the ninth level of Qi refinement. Otherwise, why do you think I dare to expand territory and establish a family!"
Unexpectedly, Liu Yubo had such a trick, and Xu Wen was also very surprised.
But obviously, his nephew's qualifications are not very good either.
Otherwise, you can definitely join the Yuan Sect and obtain the Foundation Building Pill from the internal channels of the sect. There is no need for Liu Yubo to go through so much trouble.
However, this is the Liu family's own business and has nothing to do with him.
After finding out the other party's background, Xu Wen didn't bother to make excuses with them, and said in a deep voice:
"Senior Brother Liu, my master will return from the door soon. If you do this, aren't you afraid that my master will come back to you?"
Hearing this, the veins on Liu Yubo's forehead couldn't help but jump again.
How could he not be afraid? If he were not afraid, he would have called for everyone to rush forward and take down Xu Wen directly. How could there be so much nonsense?
But his nephew was already quite old and couldn't wait long, so he had no choice but to take a chance.
"Junior Brother Xu, I didn't mean to rob him!"
"Whatever you want, spiritual stones, treasures, techniques, elixirs, or even women, I can satisfy you!"
Forcing a smile, Liu Yubo whispered:
"You are still close at your age, and you have an elder like Master Uncle Li. You will have a lot of opportunities to obtain the Foundation Establishment Pill in the future, and my Liu family is already in danger after me, and it is all tied to this Foundation Establishment Pill."
"Please also consider that I have introduced you to you and have always treated you well, please give me a hand."
"I can make my nephew swear that once the foundation is successfully established, he will do his best to protect you. Facing Chief Qiu Yun, Uncle Li alone is not enough. You need other helpers..."
In these words, what he said was moved with emotion and reason, coercing and enticing, and asking for favors in return.
While talking, they couldn't help but bow to each other again and again, and the Liu family members were all around looking at them...
If it were someone with a weak personality or a weaker ability, he might just grit his teeth and accept his fate.
But Xu Wen is not in this category. To be able to work his way up from a casual cultivator that no one looked up to to where he is today, his Taoist heart has long been indestructible and cannot be shaken by words.
"What Senior Brother Liu said is very reasonable. I only have one sentence in return..."
Xu Wen smiled lightly and said seriously:
"Grudges can be settled later, and kindness can be repaid later, but the things of enlightenment must never be given away to others!"
Upon hearing this, Liu Yubo's forehead suddenly jumped with veins.
He originally thought that Xu Wen, a young junior like him, would probably give in under his coercion and inducement.
I didn't expect that the other party would be so difficult to deal with.
"Xu, don't be ignorant!"
Before he could speak, a middle-aged man beside him stepped forward and said sternly:
"I haven't settled the accounts with you about my son Liu Bao!"
After glancing at the other person, his face turned out to be somewhat similar to Liu Bao's.
His cultivation level is also passable, and he has already reached the seventh level of Qi training.
But with this level of cultivation at this age, his future is actually cut off, and he is not as good as Liu Hongyuan and Liu Nichang, who are slightly inferior to him in cultivation.
Others may not care about Liu Bao's disappearance, but he has not given up on the investigation.
Although there is no direct evidence, as long as the relationship between the ins and outs and the people present at the time are revealed, everything points to Xu Wen.
Originally, because he was recruited by the Zhiyuan Sect and because he was Li Xiuning's disciple, he could only knock off his teeth and swallow his blood, but he did not dare to do anything to Xu Wen.
But now, the situation is about to break apart, so naturally he can't care about anything.
