As one of the Taoist seedlings, Ximen Fei had an independent courtyard in Ximen Villa, named Feihua Courtyard.

As soon as he returned to Feihuayuan, Ximen Yi called Ximen Fei to the study, and the two of them stayed up late to talk.

Sitting on the wooden chair, Ximen Yi said without any nonsense: "Fei'er, you should know what happened this morning."

"Grandpa, are you talking about the conflict between Ximen Shu and Ximen Hao?" Ximen Fei smiled, "This matter has spread a lot in the villa. Of course Fei'er knows about it. Brother Hao came here in the morning and specially delivered three bottles of pills."

Ximen Yi stared at Aisun: "What do you think about this matter?"

Ximen Fei glanced at his grandfather cautiously and thought to himself.

Although he is a Daomiao and has a distinguished status, he is usually most afraid of his grandfather, because his wise grandfather can always easily see through his mind.

After pondering for a long time, Ximen Fei said: "Ximen Shu is not what it used to be. The purpose of using Ximen Hao to establish his power is to intimidate Xiao Xiao."

"If you can see this, you have made some progress." Ximen Yi twirled his goatee, "Ximen Shu's current identity is still a Taoist seedling. He has unrivaled qualifications and powerful fists. He has gone through the changes of seizing the body and acted even more calmly.

You have a degree, you can’t underestimate it.”

Ximen Fei said: "In addition to sending pills, Ximen Hao also instigated Fei'er to go against Ximen Shu. In my opinion, what should Fei'er do?"

"Not only can we not be against each other, but we should also get closer to each other." Ximen said with profound meaning.

"Why is this?" Ximen Fei's eyes widened and he was very puzzled.

"In the current situation, the five Taoist seedlings are equal in status. It is meaningless to fight against Ximen Shu. You should focus on the Gangli realm."

Ximen Hui walked behind Ximen Yi and squeezed his grandfather's shoulders to relieve his fatigue.

"The five Taoist seedlings...perhaps including Ximen Qing. In terms of spiritual roots alone, you and Ximen Hao are likely to stand out in the Gangli realm and compete with each other. On the contrary, Ximen Shu has the worst spiritual roots."

Ximen Fei thought thoughtfully: "Fei'er understands that Ximen Shu in the Gangli realm is nothing to worry about. We should befriend him properly and help him in the future."

"This is exactly the reason." Ximen Yi smiled approvingly, "Your cultivation is still shallow, so you can't alienate Ximen Hao yet. Just maintain the current relationship."

…

Ximen Hao's parents ran several restaurants in Si'an City. Due to their advantages in status and ingredients, the business was quite prosperous.

When they learned what their son had done, they were furious and called back their confidants who were out inspecting the branch that day.

confidant name

His name is Zhan Ming, he is in his fifties, and has cultivated in the late stage of Juli Realm. Ximen Hao has obeyed his advice since he was a child.

It was already late at night when Zhan Ming arrived at the Haoqing Academy. Ximen Hao was about to practice, so he simply had a secret conversation in the practice room.

Hearsay is naturally not as good as Ximen Hao’s personal account.

After Zhan Ming listened quietly, he couldn't help but beat his chest: "Young Master is so confused. You should have suppressed Ximen Shu forcefully at that time."

Ximen Hao didn't reply, and his frown showed his confusion.

Zhan Ming explained: "The young master's use of the body control method to rob the Zangdao Pavilion must have attracted the attention of the village owner. How can the village owner let Shi Zu out of seclusion for such a trivial matter as a conflict between Dao and Miao?"

Ximen Hao's brows stretched, and there was a cold light in his eyes.

Zhan Ming continued: "Protector Zheng once revealed that Shizu was injured and went into seclusion as soon as he returned to the village. It is very likely that he was eager to heal his injuries instead of cultivating magical powers. How could he come out of seclusion so easily?"

Ximen Hao made a fist with one hand and punched the ground hard, leaving a fist mark about an inch deep, which showed the anger in his heart.

"Uncle Ming, the matter has come to this, is there any room for redemption?"

Zhan Ming thought for a while: "The power of Ximen Shu has been established, and there is little point in retaliating. On the contrary, it will make people look down upon. For the current plan, the young master should practice hard, advance to the late stage as soon as possible, refine his mind power, and participate in the Taoist Ceremony

, competing for the summoning elixir."

Ximen Hao said: "There is no need to worry about the Spirit Summoning Pill. On the contrary, it is Shizu's prejudice that makes me very upset."

Zhan Ming asked: "A Taoist seedling can only provide one soul-summoning pill. With the young master's spiritual roots, if he does not participate in the competition, I am afraid that he will not be sure of advancing to the Gangli realm."

Ximen Hao smiled mysteriously: "I know it well. Uncle Ming doesn't need to say more. He must quickly think of a way to eliminate Shizu's prejudice."

"The ancestor has been in seclusion for ten years. With the young master's spiritual roots, he will definitely stand out in ten years. Why do you need to say more?" Zhan Ming stroked his beard and smiled, "The young master is just a fan of the authorities."

Ximen Hao was enlightened and his depression disappeared: "Uncle Ming can't stay in Haoqingyuan?"

Zhan Ming sighed softly: "The restaurant is expanding too fast. The master lacks reliable manpower around him, and the old slave can't get away."

…

"The food in the world and the external air breathed out all contain impurities, which accumulate in the body for many years and cause diseases. The Cleansing Pill can purify the impurities, making the body like an innate embryo, and enhances the intensity of body training."

Gu Xuan twisted a white elixir between his fingertips, which was the Wugou elixir.

He is already familiar with all the basic moves

Once again, Wang Mang suggested taking the Wugou Pill tonight.

"It's best to take off your clothes when taking Wuzu Dan."

Gu Xuan didn't know why, but he did as he was told, and stripped off all his clothes.

After taking the pill, Gu Xuan sat cross-legged on the futon and waited quietly.

I didn't wait too long. First, I felt itchy and slightly painful all over my body, and then traces of oily black stains oozed from the body surface, exuding a strong fishy odor that was nauseating.

"These impurities in the body are the source of diseases. Take a bath quickly to refresh your whole body."

It was late at night, the four personal servants had fallen asleep, and the third-class servants were living together outside.

Gu Xuan put on a robe, held a lamp, and fetched water for a bath. It was indeed very refreshing.

…

Early the next morning, Gu Xuan sat on a stone chair in the courtyard, with four personal servants standing in a row in front of him.

"You have already perfected your unarmed skills. From today on, you will practice the skills of controlling soldiers."

The four servants all looked happy. Once they mastered the skill of controlling troops, their combat effectiveness would be enhanced.

The Juli realm specializes in practicing martial arts, which are divided into unarmed skills and weapon control skills.

There are two books on military control on the stone table, "The Sword Skills of the Beginning of Spring" and "The Sword Skills of the Beginning of Autumn", both of which are from Ximen Shu's collection.

"You go to the treasure room and each pick out a sword. Chu Xixi practices the "Beginning of Spring Sword Technique" and Gou Dongxi practices the "Beginning of Autumn Sword Technique"."

"Yes, Master."

The four servants left happily.

Gu Xuan picked up a jade bottle on the table, poured out a gray elixir, and looked at it carefully.

Wang Mang introduced: "The power-accumulating pill is made from more than a dozen medicinal materials such as ginseng, Ganoderma lucidum, and deer antlers. It can be used in combination with moves to increase strength rapidly."

The open space in the courtyard was quite open. Gu Xuan took a power-charging pill and practiced basic moves.

The stored power elixir enters the body and does not evaporate all at once. Instead, as the moves are practiced, the power of the elixir is gradually released.

These elixir powers are eventually absorbed and stored by the perineum acupoints.

Gu Xuan showed amazing perseverance. He practiced each move hundreds of times. Even though he was sweating and panting, he continued without slacking off.

The four personal servants each picked a long sword and sat at the stone table to study the sword manual.
