Chapter 17: Breakthrough

Xiao Jiu's life passed briskly and peacefully.

Every day, I gaged with my co-workers when I went to work, and after I got off work, I went to the hillside to play the flute, whether it was two quarters of an hour or half an hour.

In this way, you can tell your thoughts about your grandmother and hometown, and your feelings for today's life in the sound of the flute. Because there are almost no people on that hill, and it doesn't bother anyone.

The exception was that every time the flute was played, there were two more listeners, the little boy with a proud face and the beggar who was all bad.

Except for the little boy who asked her arrogantly on the first day, the two of them spent the rest of the day only being listeners.

The beggar's complexion seemed to be getting better day by day. What was even stranger was that the little boy didn't seem to have noticed the beggar from beginning to end. Otherwise, with Xiao Jiu's understanding of the young master's self-respecting young master, he should have blown up his hair at the beggar.

After playing the flute, Xiao Jiu returned to the house, and by this time Chunhong had almost finished identifying the weeds she had brought back. Then, before going to bed, she was just in time to dispose of the 'weeds' after Chunhong had identified them.

Life is really going smoothly, except that I don't have a clue about cultivation、、、、、、

In the depths of the continuous mountain peaks hidden by clouds and mist in the Li family area, there were two figures, one large and one small, standing halfway up the mountain.

The eldest one was dressed in a pink satin robe, with silver moire embroidered on the neckline, cuffs, and edges, and was a beautiful and vulgar woman, who was staring at the Dongfu Gate with complex formations in front of her with a serious face.

The little one was dressed in a dark moire satin robe, looking seven or eight years old, a little boy carved in pink and jade, and he was looking at the cave gate in front of him with anticipation on his face.

Suddenly, a small cyclone appeared in front of the door of the cave, and then it expanded more and more, with a radius of one zhang、、、 two zhang、、、 three zhang、、、 five zhang、、、 ten zhang、、、 fifteen zhang、、、 twenty long、、、 thirty zhang、、、 fifty long、、、 one hundred zhang、、、 three hundred zhang、、、 five hundred zhang、、、、、、 until it expanded to the edge of the mountains and was blocked by a barrier that suddenly appeared.

Although the barrier blocked the cyclone from expanding outward, the mountains within the barrier were churning more and more violently.

Many figures appeared in the mountains for a while, and all of them looked in the direction of the beginning of the cyclone, some with happy faces, some with complex complexes, some with gloomy faces, and some with indignant faces、、、、、、

These uncertain figures could not affect the two people in front of the cave who were so affected by the violent churning of the cyclone that they could not stand still. A large and a small figure, both pairs of eyes showing ecstasy.

The movement continued for an hour before it began to diminish and finally stopped.

After another half an hour, in the eyes of two pairs of expectation, the heavy stone door of the cave slowly opened, and a young man wearing a blue satin shirt with a handsome face stepped out, and a natural majesty pressed the footsteps of the two figures who ran to usher in it.

The man saw the two figures who stopped, and the momentum on his body was also put away!

"Xianggong, did you really break through?" The beautiful woman's face couldn't help but be happy.

"Hmmm! It's been a hard time for you. ”

The woman shook her head and was about to say something, when a crisp and immature voice next to her interjected: "Daddy, you broke through, great!" As he spoke, his whole body pounced.

The man caught the body that rushed over and smiled: "Well, Daddy has broken through, can we Shang'er listen to my mother's words and practice hard during this time?" ”

"Of course," said the spiritual power in his body, and a layer of red halo appeared on his body, "Daddy, look, I have refined qi at the third level!" ”

"Oh? It turns out that we are so talented? The man's face was full of joy. Shang'er is the best child of the Li family, the qualification of the fire system Tianling root, and the hope of the Li family, but he didn't expect to break through to the third layer in only two years of cultivation, which is really a happy thing. Then he said: "Does Shang'er want your father to give you any reward?" ”

"Daddy, Shang'er has already cultivated in the independent mansion, and Shang'er doesn't have a servant yet, Shang'er wants Daddy to give exercises to the servant I chose!" Anticipation was written on the boy's face.

At this time, the woman next to her suddenly interjected: "Okay, Shang'er, your father has just left the customs, this matter will be talked about when your father is rectified, you go to practice first, and my mother will discuss it with your father." As he spoke, he turned to the man and said, "It's okay for us to stand here, let's go back to the house first, and then slowly discuss the affairs of the family." ”

The man nodded and said, "It's okay!" ”

Then he picked up one in one hand and flew into the air towards the pavilions below.

When he reached the main hall, the man went to freshen up, while the woman coaxed the little boy to his own quarters, and waited in the temple.

Two quarters of an hour later, the man came out of the side compartment, and the woman got up to meet her.

"Lan'er, let's sit and talk." The man led the woman to a chair, two intricately carved chairs placed side by side, with a small table in between.

"Is there peace at home during this time?" The man asked.

"It's all right, nothing happened." The woman replied.

"That's good, that's good!" The man applauded, apparently pleased with what he had heard.

I only heard him say again: "The father in this family is the patriarch, and my second brother and I are also the only heirs of the Yanzhi, so it is said that I should be the young patriarch."

However, I only had a ninth-level Qi refining cultivation before, and there were too many children with the same cultivation in this family, so the position of this young patriarch was naturally unstable.

In the past, there was a father who cultivated the highest in the family to press and succeed, and during this time, the predecessors of the family who built the foundation all went to explore the new ancient Xuankong, and it was a little reluctant for me, the young patriarch, to suppress those side branches that were ready to move in my heart. ”

said that his face was full of sighs.

"Yes, Xianggong, fortunately you broke through, and now this family is much more peaceful!" The woman said with a happy face. During this time, as a young lady, she supported the entire family with the cultivation of the ninth layer of qi refining, which was really too difficult!

"Well, it's hard for you to hold up this time! Now that I have this cultivation and have firmly established the position of the young patriarch, those who are secretly small have to be punished. Especially those moths who eat inside and outside and take the resources of the Li family to cultivate, but have to clean up with the other two secret songs! The man's face suddenly became gloomy.

"Xianggong means that we are going to make a big move next? The second brother and sister 、、、、、、 there."

"Her cultivation is not high, but her heart is bigger, the key is that the people behind her who supported her and made her jump have to be found out." Then changed the topic: "Lan'er, Shang'er gave him a separate peak?" ”

"Xianggong, I'm having a headache about this!"

The man frowned when he heard this, and his eyes were questioning.

Just listen to the woman's story:

"Since he started to cultivate, I have been teaching him hand-in-hand, and now I am watching him grow up day by day, after all, he has to learn to cultivate independently, plus I have been so busy during this period of time that my feet do not touch the ground, so I thought that it would be good for him to divide the peak and clear the cultivation of him, so I gave him the small peak assigned to him by his father before leaving.

Shang'er also competed for qi, and he broke through to the third layer of qi refining a month ago.

But what gives me a headache is also here, he doesn't want the personal servant of the sixth layer of qi refining that we originally arranged for him, but asks me for a mortal girl to be a personal servant.

I've mentioned it three times this month. I said that I would discuss with you after you got out, saying that there were no foundation building period monks in the clan, and even if that girl had a spiritual root, no one could teach her the exercises, so this stopped Shang'er.

What do you say about this? ”

"Well, you're doing the right thing! Shang'er is the hope of the family, and he must be careful in everything he does! You say it's a girl, but you have a spiritual root? ”

"I don't know yet?" She was so busy that she hadn't had time to take care of it.

"Then let's do it, you send a message, and let someone test that girl to see if she has a spiritual root. If there is one, I will give her the exercises, so that she can be a servant of a merchant; If not, tell Shang'er the truth, so that he can rest his mind and concentrate on cultivation. The man spoke decisively and made a decision.

The woman was anxious when she heard this, and hurriedly said: "Xianggong, how can this be done, even those children in the side branches still have personal servants with high cultivation, how can we Shang'er ask a mortal who has not yet cultivated as a servant?" ”

"It's nothing, on the one hand, the intention of this servant is to help the master take care of the chores, so that the master can concentrate on cultivation; On the other hand, it is to protect the master. If you just need a miscellaneous person, it is enough to have a spiritual root to cultivate in the family. As for the aspect of protection, Shang Er is now young and has to stay in the family, and I just break through and I don't need to improve my cultivation urgently, it is enough for me to watch it from time to time. What's more, when he embarks on the path of cultivation, he mainly has to rely on himself! ”

"Then I'll arrange this, I will record the current situation of the family in this jade slip, you take a closer look first." As the woman spoke, she touched the bag around her waist, and a jade slip appeared in her hand. "As for your promotion ceremony, I'll explain it first, and I believe those people won't be sloppy、、、、、、"
