For a while after that, Wanglong Village was very lively.
The Xu family held a flowing banquet for three days, feasting on nearby relatives and friends. Xu Wen personally came out to toast, making every guest drink to their heart's content and never shied away from it.
Then, he brought a lot of gifts and visited the four places one by one.
This style of work was naturally very eye-catching. Half a month later, a group of bandits were suddenly found dead on a mountain ridge a few miles away from Wanglong Village.
When they were discovered, each one was lifelike, with no wounds on their bodies. Some were chatting, some were eating, and some were inspecting weapons...
Time seemed to stop at a certain moment, and at that moment, everyone's souls were taken away.
Then, four high-rollers known as heroes were found in a river not far from Wanglong Village.
At that time, they were all on fire and had to jump into the river to put out the fire.
But the strange thing is that the fire could not be extinguished with water. After wailing in the river for a whole day and night, the three of them died completely.
After he fished it out, he discovered that although he had been burned to death, there was no trace of blackness on the body, as if the flames soaring into the sky were just an illusion.
Finally, a group of hundreds of officers and soldiers preparing to go to Wanglong Village suddenly encountered a landslide.
At that time, there were many people nearby watching the fun, and the landslide did not happen quickly. Not to mention adults who were skilled in martial arts, even half-year-old children were able to escape.
But hundreds of officers and soldiers seemed to have lost their souls, running back and forth on the 100-meter road under the landslide, until they were all buried under a hundred meters of mud, and no one survived.
After that, everything came to an abrupt end. The old county magistrate of Hu County was suddenly transferred. The first thing the new magistrate did when he took office was to visit the Xu family in person.
Xu Wen was not there that day, and the county magistrate was extremely respectful to Xu Shiyu and his wife. They bowed and talked with them as if they were disciples.
He personally nailed a plaque to the Xu family saying "The Land of Gentlemen". From then on, a team of five government officials stationed in Wanglong Village all year round in the name of guarding the plaque.
In addition, the county magistrate also promoted Xu Qing to the village leader of Wanglong Village, and stated that his three children could all enter the county school when they grow up.
Everyone was a little confused by this dazzling scene. They vaguely guessed something, but did not dare to say more.
Wanglong Village has also calmed down again, but the previous peace was that of poverty and no one cared about it, while the current peace is that of wealth, stability and indifference.
Xu Shiyu, Xu Qing and others guessed something, but Xu Wen didn't say anything, and they wisely stopped asking any more questions.
Half a year later, everyone was surprised to find that Xu Shiyu and his wife were getting younger and younger.
The hair that was originally gray and dry became black and shiny again, the ricket back became extremely straight, and even the skin that was darkened by years of hard work and sun exposure became fairer.
The changes in Xu Qing, his wife and their three children are even more obvious. In addition to the external changes, there is also a change from the inside out, becoming wiser and more refined.
The villagers didn't know how to describe this change and could only use words like city dweller and young master to describe it.
At night, in the Heishiya area on the back hill of Wanglong Village, Xu Wen was looking for a suitable place.
After half a year at home, everything at home has been basically sorted out, and he is about to start his own practice.
Of course, it is not a complete departure from home, but a return home every three or two months to visit the Xu couple.
He told his family before leaving.
Xu Shiyu and others also understood very well. Although Xu Wen never said it, they all knew that all the recent changes in the Xu family were caused by Xu Wen.
They were proud to have such an outstanding son as Xu Wen, so they suppressed their sadness deep in their hearts.
They know that all outstanding children cannot stay with their parents for a long time. Their journey is to the stars and the sea, not to the front and back of the stove.
Fortunately, I can only come back once every few months. I just think Xu Wen is traveling around the country.
Xu Wen was slightly startled when his consciousness swept over a place. After examining it carefully, he couldn't help but feel overjoyed.
There is actually a very, very small place where spiritual energy gathers here. Although it is not even considered spiritual energy, it is still an unexpected surprise.
There are three main spiritual veins in the Jambudvipa continent, the Hengjue Mountains in the middle, the Tiandu Mountains in the north, and the Holy Land of Lingchi in the south.
The head and tail of the Hengjue Mountain Range, Tiandu Peak and Lingchi are the places with the richest spiritual energy in the Jambudvipa continent. They are respectively occupied by the four great gods of the Endless Sea, Kunde Palace, Baiyujing and Eternal Pure Land.
The four great sects happened to represent demon cultivators, demon cultivators, Taoists and Buddhists respectively, and their power was very balanced.
The closer you get to these four places, the richer the spiritual energy is and the more various sects there are.
On the contrary, the farther away you are, the thinner the spiritual energy becomes.
The place where the spiritual energy was the thinnest and suitable for living gradually turned into a country ruled by mortals.
Anguo is such a country of mortals. This place that cannot be relied on has no spiritual energy.
Now there is a trace of spiritual energy, although it is very thin, it will still make this land more beautiful after many years.
This is a small flat area with a spring in the northwest corner. There is a wild peach plant near the spring, and a faint aura floats out from the spring.
After careful inspection, Xu Wen took out a magic array cloth he snatched from Zhou Zhifang, and completely covered the flat land in the magic array, blocking out prying eyes from inside and outside.
Then he took out a multicolored stone ball, which was the multicolored spiritual vein stone that had been fused with the Eye of Spiritual Spring.
Both Chu Yin and Nie Laojiu thought that they would not be able to practice in the mortal world, but they did not know that even in the mortal world, spiritual energy would not be enough to hinder them.
Of course, the colorful spirit vein stones are not placed randomly.
If it is laid in a place with no spiritual energy at all, the colorful spiritual vein stones cannot be connected to the earth veins, and the spiritual energy concentration will inevitably be affected.
But there is a trace of spiritual energy here. Even though it is small, it can connect the colorful spirit vein stones to the earth veins and give full play to the role of this treasure.
With a wave of his hand, the five-color spirit vein stone quietly fell into the spring water. With the spell, the spirit vein stone was immediately activated.
A hundred-foot-long spiritual vein shadow quietly flew out of the colorful stone and began to merge with the surrounding earth veins.
Since that day, several villages near Heiya Mountain have heard low rumbles coming from Heiya Mountain from time to time.
The brave young man went up the mountain to search, but found nothing. A month later, the rumblings gradually subsided, and no one paid attention to it anymore.
At this time, the flat land of Heiya Mountain has changed greatly. The spiritual veins, which are no more than a hundred feet long, have penetrated deep into the ground and completely merged with the earth veins.
The five-color spiritual vein stone is located at the golden section of the spiritual vein, like a living creature, firmly controlling the entire spiritual vein.
A large amount of spiritual energy spurted out from the spiritual spring, and was imprisoned by the surrounding formations. It could only gather in the air within a radius of several hundred feet.
Nourished by spiritual energy, thin grass poked its head out of the snow, and there were many unknown wild flowers.
The wild peaches that originally had only dead leaves and branches also bloomed in the wind, and the pink peach blossoms swayed gently, adding a bit of elegance to the place.
Where the second-level spiritual veins are located, even if they are only the smallest micro-spiritual veins, the lowest second-price low-grade ones, they are enough to completely change this area.
As for what kind of spiritual beings the Eye of the Spiritual Fountain will spawn, it is not yet clear. It is estimated that it will take about half a year to reveal the clues.
Xu Wen picked some sandalwood from the nearby mountains and forests and simply built a straw reed, and Xu Wen began his life of living in a cottage.
The food, clothing, housing and transportation are very simple, and there is no one to communicate with and there are some worries, but every person with a Taoist heart has to endure these.
People who are surrounded by excitement and joy all the time lose the time to think and will drift further and further away from their goals.
Since the establishment of the foundation, except for a short period of training in the Black Ice Cave, Xu Wen has not practiced for a long time because the cultivator's genes have long been impatient.
Sitting cross-legged under the reeds with only two walls, Xu Wen silently performed the Kunpeng Xiaoyao Jue. The surrounding spiritual places suddenly came to Xu Wen like tired birds returning to their nests.
Kunpeng Xiaoyao Jue is mysterious and profound, and may not be as delicate as the Qinghuang Gong, but its understanding and explanation of the great road are much clearer and more direct.
It's like a person standing at the foot of a mountain, pointing to the extremely steep rock wall and telling you that if you climb a thousand meters along here, you can reach the top.
Although it is difficult, it is clearly understood. It is a rare skill that combines the strengths of Taoism and Demonism.
The magic power circulated, and an illusory pair of Kunpeng wings appeared behind Xu Wen, as if a god came to the world...
The spiritual root strength of 48 points is far incomparable to that of 24 points. After practicing for a while, it seems that you can see the continuous progress of the technique, and it is easy to deduce the time of advancement.
After practicing for only ten days, Xu Wen knew that he would hit the middle stage of foundation building in about fifty years.
At this speed, he can try to attack the golden elixir after about two and a half armors.
After the foundation is established, the essence, energy, and spirit are greatly perfected, and age has a much smaller impact on cultivation than during the Qi refining stage.
It takes three hundred and sixty years to build the foundation. As long as you can complete the foundation building before the age of 270, you will have a chance to hit the golden elixir.
Of course, the earlier you advance, the greater the chance of hitting the golden elixir, and the more times you can hit it.
Two and a half years later, Xu Wen was less than 180 years old, and he had at least three or four opportunities to attack the foundation building, which was more likely than the Qi Refining Advanced Foundation Building.
As for ordinary cultivators, if they can start to attack the golden elixir before the age of two hundred, they can be regarded as golden elixir seeds, worthy of vigorous cultivation.
With the future promising, Xu Wen's mentality suddenly became much calmer, and he no longer had the ever-present anxiety he had during the foundation building period despite his efforts to suppress it.
Three months later, the practice came to an end. Xu Wen quietly stood up, shook off the petals from his body, and strode home.
In the Xu family, Wang Qiaoniang, who was looking at the door, saw her son's voice, and her uneasy heart suddenly returned to her stomach.
As her son returned home for the second time, she knew for sure that his son was really back.
The three nieces and nephews who had grown a lot taller happily rushed to the door threshold, shouting loudly:
"Uncle, uncle, have you brought us gifts..."
Wanglong Village, which had been a bit dull these days because of Xu Wen's departure, became cheerful again because of Xu Wen's return.
