During the Daxi Dynasty, the country's fortunes were at its peak. Thirteen states were under its jurisdiction, and each of the four major monastic families governed one state. They were very famous.

Kuzhou is the jurisdiction of the Ximen family, and all direct descendants of the family can be found in Cuishan in the northwest of the state.

Cuishan is densely covered with ancient trees and blooming flowers. The tall houses are well-proportioned and hidden among the green trees.

A divine and handsome crane flew from a distance, with three people sitting on the crane's back.

Wang Mang introduced the Ximen family's situation in detail on the road so that Gu Xuan could adapt to the upcoming crisis.

…

"I've seen Mr. Chess."

The two servants guarding the gate of Qianqiuyuan saw the crane landing at the foot of the steps and quickly saluted respectfully.

Ximen Qi glanced sideways and asked expressionlessly: "Is Uncle Shu still in the courtyard? How is Mr. Shu doing?"

The thin servant took half a step forward and said first, "Elder Shu is in the courtyard, and Mr. Shu has not taken over the house yet."

Ximen Qi looked slightly happy and pointed to another servant: "Go and report to Uncle Chu immediately. Tell me that I have brought a Taoist seedling for Master Shu to take over."

"As commanded."

The servant did not dare to be negligent and hurriedly entered the door to report. He walked very quickly.

With a satisfied look on his face, Ximen Qi held Gu Xuan in his arms, jumped off the crane's back, and tapped him several times.

Gu Xuan moved all over and found that he could walk, but he still couldn't move his upper body, let alone speak.

Wang Ling jumped to the ground and sent a message to Linghe: "Gillian, just wait here. You have to go out later. The supply of elixirs will be doubled this month."

The crane roared with joy and took up its arrogant steps.

"May I have your name?"

The three of them walked up the steps. Ximen Qi took two steps forward, approached the servant, and quietly handed over a piece of silver.

"The younger one's name is Li Si. What are your orders, Master Chess?"

The servant was flattered, took the silver excitedly, and quickly hid it in his sleeve.

Ximen Qi quickly asked: "Has anyone else been here?"

Li Si lowered his eyebrows and said, "No one else has been here. I heard that most of the monks have gone out to search for Wang Mang."

Ximen Qi hummed: "Is there any other news?"

Li Si glanced back and saw that the servant who reported the report had not yet come out, so he said softly: "Not long ago, Elder Shu got very angry. It seems that the ancestor thought that Mr. Shu had low cultivation and refused to use a monk with a foreign surname to let him seize the body."

Wang Ling was thoughtful and quickly sent a message: "Brother Qi, this is enough. The people in Qianqiuyuan are just useless.

Don't ask anymore."

As expected, Ximen Qi shut up and glanced around, seeing the servant who had made the complaint trotting back.

"Elder Shu, please ask Mr. Qi to go to the living room quickly."

Ximen Qi did not respond and walked into the courtyard with Gu Xuan and Wang Ling.

…

Sitting on the main seat in the living room was an old man in a brocade robe. His face was not angry or intimidating, but his complexion was pale.

This person is Ximen Chu, the third brother of Ximen Chi, the founder of the Ximen family.

And Ximen Chi’s Taoist companion is the eldest princess of the Daxi Dynasty.

After a brief greeting, Ximen Qi vividly explained the situation and tested Gu Xuan's spiritual roots on the spot.

It just concealed the Snake Shadow Dagger and the unknown waterfall mechanism.

Gu Xuan now has nothing and is powerless. He is like a puppet on strings and is at the mercy of others. He has regarded Wang Mang as his support, and of course he will not reveal anything.

"Such aptitude is the only one I've seen in my life. It's a pity that my spiritual potential is so low. I'm barely suitable for Shu'er to seize the body."

Ximen Shu had already revealed his domineering consciousness, covering Gu Xuan's whole body.

"This child's Yintang point..."

Just like Wang Mang, the blood in Ximen Chu's eyes flickered as he observed Gu Xuan's brows, and it quickly disappeared.

"This son's body and soul are still there, and he has not been taken away from him."

Gu Xuan remained calm on the surface, but secretly breathed a sigh of relief. As expected, Wang Mang Yuanshen had a way to avoid this person's detection.

Ximen Qi and Wang Ling looked at each other with somewhat happy expressions.

"Without further delay, Shu'er is in the training room and will go with me."

Ximen Shu waved his big sleeves, stood up, and led the way.

Ximen Qi pushed Gu Xuan, and the three of them followed closely behind.

…

Standing at the door of a closed room were two young maids, dressed in plain-colored light clothes and looking pretty.

When they saw the visitor, the two maids were about to salute, when Ximen Shu sent a message: "No courtesy, don't make any noise."

Seeing the maid standing with her head bowed, Ximen Shuo sent a message to Ximen Qi again: "Shu'er is resisting the seizure of the house. We are both members of the family. Go and persuade him."

Ximen Qi nodded and pushed the door open. Wang Ling escorted Gu Xuan to follow, and Ximen Shuo walked in last.

The training room is quite spacious, with a white jade platform built on the ground, cylindrical in shape, the size of a wellhead, and about a foot high.

There is a multicolored light mask on the top of the jade platform that slowly rotates, with strange light symbols flashing on the surface.

Within the colorful light mask, there is a

The hanging head, with its surface densely covered with colorful light symbols and a rather handsome face, is Ximen Shu's head.

Ximen Qi looked at the colorful light shield and forced a smile: "Master Shu, are you okay?"

Ximen Shu's voice came out from the five-colored light shield: "Ximen Qi, this young master has fallen into this situation, are you here to see a joke?"

Ximen Qi said bluntly: "This time I went out, I found a body that has lost its body. It has a handsome appearance, excellent aptitude, and is compatible with your spiritual roots."

Ximen Shu was silent for a while: "It's about seizing a house, and four more people came in. Grandpa is also there, right?"

Ximen Shu and Ximen Shu are actually several generations apart. It is only because Ximen Shu has outstanding spiritual roots and is favored by Ximen Shu that he can be called "grandfather".

Ximen Qi didn't respond. He raised his eyelids and looked at Ximen Shu.

Ximen Shu said earnestly: "Shu'er, your soul is gradually weakening, and the matter of seizing the body can no longer be delayed."

Ximen Shu asked directly: "Grandpa, what kind of spiritual root does that person have?"

Ximen Shu's eyes flashed and he said truthfully: "The five elements spiritual root has low potential and has not yet been cultivated."

"That's a waste spiritual root!"

Ximen Shu's voice suddenly became louder and he was a little excited.

"If Shu'er seizes this person, he will only be able to cultivate to the early stage of the Gangli realm!"

Gu Xuan's expression changed. It seemed that his spiritual roots were indeed very poor. No wonder Lingmiao Sect looked down upon him.

Ximen Shu sighed lightly: "A mortal body is more conducive to seizing the body. With this person's qualifications, you can recover your cultivation within two years. As for the cultivation of the Gangli realm, my grandfather has to worry about it."

Ximen Shu said in a strange tone: "Ximen Qi, you are so clever in finding this person. What benefits did your grandfather give you?"

"A soul-awakening pill."

Ximen Qi's heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly had a bad premonition, but with Ximen Shu present, it was hard to hide it.

Ximen Shu was silent for a moment and said in a low voice: "Grandpa, Shu'er wants to take a look at this person's appearance."

Ximen Shu made a seal with one hand, and a thin green light shot out from his fingertips and disappeared into the multicolored light shield.

The multicolored light mask suddenly stopped rotating, and a hole was opened in it, revealing the head inside.

Even though he was well prepared, Gu Xuan couldn't help but be surprised when he suddenly saw a living head. The Taoism was unbelievable. Hearing it a hundred times was better than seeing it once.

Ximen Shu opened his eyes and observed Gu Xuan for a while, and finally no longer resisted: "I have troubled my grandfather, but Shu'er is willing to take over."
