Yuan Ming knew in his heart that if his cultivation was not the Nine Yuan Technique, with his Four Spirit Roots, he was afraid that his speed would be much slower.

The reason for this is naturally that after entering the foundation building period, although the absorption rate of spiritual energy has increased, the spiritual energy required for cultivation has increased even more.

According to his estimates, this situation will become more and more obvious as his cultivation continues to improve.

In view of this, in order to increase the cultivation speed as much as possible, it seems that he still has to rely on pills and spiritual incense to assist.

Yuan Ming took out the foundation building period pill from the storage ring with some pain, and after closing his eyes and taking it, he took advantage of the medicinal power to enter the cultivation again.

Nothing to say all the way, half a month later.

Noon had passed, but the sky was still gray, and thunder rumbled among countless clouds.

The wind and waves in the river were fierce, and the murky water splashed against the planks of the boat, causing the hull to shake for a while.

On the deck, Wang Lao Wu and his son were busy for a while, and finally brought the ship to the dock and dropped the anchor.

"Okay, big dog, you go and inform the guests, Leizhou City has arrived." Wang Lao Wu wiped his sweat, turned his head and said to his son.

His son nodded, and as soon as he turned around, he saw Yuan Ming walking out of the house by himself.

"Childe, this boat has also arrived, do you see if the boat money is ......" Wang Lao Wu rubbed his hands.

Yuan Ming nodded and threw out a bag of silver coins, which was much more than the amount he had said before.

Wang Lao Wu was very grateful, and hurriedly beckoned his son to take the boat board to facilitate Yuan Ming's disembarkation.

Wang Lao Wu had the silver money in his hand, he carefully clicked it twice, and when he looked up, Yuan Ming was still looking at him with a smile, and couldn't help asking, "What else is the matter with the distinguished guest?" ”

Yuan Ming said: "Call all your family over, thank you for taking care of you all the way, and I have another reward." ”

Wang Lao Wu immediately called his wife and children over, and stood happily in front of Yuan Ming, Yuan Ming raised the soul bell and shook it gently, only to hear the sound of "jingling".

Wang Lao Wu's family was dizzy for a while before they woke up.

Wang Lao Wu was holding a money bag in his hand, looked at the surrounding environment inexplicably, and shouted: "Oh, what's the matter, how did we get to Leizhou." ”

……

The structure of Leizhou City is very different from that of the capital.

The slightly narrow street is undulating, the middle is slightly higher, the two sides are slightly shorter, there is a ditch on both sides, and a small bridge is built with a stone slab in front of the door of each house, and the ditch is crossed, and the street is connected, quite a bit of "small bridge and flowing water" charm.

The surrounding courtyard is tall and small, with white brick walls and blue roof tiles that bend like a waning moon, and the rain slides down the bricks, just in time to drip into the gutter, splashing a circle of ripples.

At the end of the ditch is a wide river, in which there are many wooden rafts and boats, and a quaint stone bridge is erected over the river, and occasionally wooden boats pass under the bridge, and the creaking of oars can be heard clearly.

Yuan Ming shuttled through the streets, and soon came to a large mansion with a large area and simple decoration.

The crimson lantern hung high in front of the door, and the firelight shined through the rice paper, illuminating the word "Xi" on the lantern.

Under the plaque with the word "Xu Family" written on it, the wide gate was open, and two small servants dressed as housekeepers stood in front of the door, their faces full of smiles.

Behind them, bursts of laughter and the sound of cups and lamps were heard from behind the shadow wall, mixed with a few sounds of children laughing and playing.

Looking at this situation full of fireworks, Yuan Ming couldn't help but flash a few childhood memories in his mind, and an indescribable warmth rose in his heart for no reason, but he also knew that since he had embarked on the path of immortals, he was afraid that the connection with this kind of mundane would be less and less in the future.

After he settled down, he cast an illusion, changed his appearance, and stepped forward to ask the two family members:

"May I ask the two of you, is there a happy event for the Xu family today?"

"Yes, today my second son-in-law got married, and the master has also instructed him, no matter who can come in and ask for a cup of wine, why don't you come here to be happy?" Seeing that Yuan Ming looked dignified, Jia Ding warmly invited.

"Then I'll be disrespectful." Yuan Ming nodded and followed the family into the Xu Mansion.

He came here not on a whim, but because this Xu family is his mother's lineage, and the second son who got married today is still his cousin.

Yuan Ming followed his mother to Leizhou Province when he was a child, and he still knew the way, but he didn't know much about the Leizhou Immortal Cultivation Realm, and if he wanted to worship the Shengye Sect, he still had to start with his uncle's house to understand the situation.

However, in order to prevent being found by Changchun Guan, he did not immediately reveal his identity.

Yuan Ming was led by the family to the side hall and sat down, and after the family left, he immediately cast an illusion to cover his figure, put on a cloak to hide his breath, and left the side hall quickly.

Soon, he saw his uncle in the study of Xu's mansion.

"Big brother, did you say that my mother won't come back today?" Inside the room, a middle-aged man with a white face and beard asked.

And a man with a mustache was sitting in front of him at this time, listening to Xu Rong's complaints, and took a sip of tea without hurrying.

"It's not a big deal for your son to get married, and if his mother doesn't come back, he won't come back, so why are you in a hurry."

These two people are Yuan Ming's third uncle Xu Rong and eldest uncle Xu Fan.

"Alas, there was finally a happy event at home, but my mother didn't come back, and neither did my second brother and fourth sister come back, isn't it weird and boring?" The third uncle Xu Rong muttered.

"You, how old are you, and you're still a child." Uncle sighed.

At this moment, outside the study, a third person's voice suddenly sounded.

"Hehe, don't worry, third uncle, aren't I coming back?" A handsome man pushed the door in and looked at Xu Rong with a smile.

"Yo! Tian'er is back, hey, why is it just you, your grandmother? The uncle got up, looked at the handsome man with delight, and then looked behind him with a puzzled expression.

Yuan Ming, who was secretly watching from the side, recognized that this person was Xu Fan's son and his eldest cousin Xu Tian.

Unlike the two uncles, Xu Tian had a faint aura fluctuation on his body, as if he was a monk of the third level of qi refining.

"Grandma, she just went into retreat not long ago, and it was inconvenient for her to come back, so she asked Senior Sister Luo to bring a gift and come back with me." Xu Tian said with a smile.

A cute petite girl leaned out from behind him, she wore a ponytail and a childlike smile on her pink face, which made people feel pity at the sight.

Like Xu Tian, she is also a monk, but she only has a second-level Qi refining cultivation.

"Two uncles." The girl is in trouble.

"Let me introduce, this is Luo Xing'er, the disciple that grandma just accepted recently, may be grandma's closed disciple." Xu Tian introduced.

Xu Fan and Xu Rong immediately returned the salute, not daring to slack off at all.

Although they are elders, they are just mortals because they have no spiritual roots, and they are inevitably a little restrained in the face of monks.

However, Luo Xing'er didn't care at all, but asked with great interest.

"Two uncles, I heard that you have a nephew named Yuan Ming, right?"

As soon as these words came out, not only Xu Fan and the others, but even Yuan Ming, who was secretly peeking, was slightly stunned.

"This, the son of the fourth sister's family is indeed called by this name, does it mean that Miss Luo knows him?" Uncle asked rhetorically.

"Of course, now in the entire Great Jin Immortal Cultivation Realm, who hasn't heard of his name!" Luo Xing'er's eyes were shining, and she said excitedly.

Then, she told Yuan Ming to challenge the national teacher at the abdication ceremony, and finally took revenge, and told the story of the killing of the national teacher of the Great Jin Dynasty.

"Yuan Ming, he killed the national teacher? This doesn't implicate us, does it? After hearing this, the uncle asked with a pale face.

"Dad, the matter of cultivating immortals will not implicate the mundane." Xu Tian said helplessly.

"Uncle, did Yuan Ming know you well when he was a child? Can you tell me something about him? Luo Xing'er asked vigorously.

Yuan Ming's mother rarely came back after she got married, so Xu Fan and the others were in a state of mind for a long time, and in the end they couldn't say a few things about Yuan Ming's childhood, only knowing that some stories of Yuan Ming becoming famous when he was young.

Luo Xing'er soon lost interest in inquiring about Yuan Ming, but suddenly she seemed to remember something, and begged Xu Tian to take her to the house where Yuan Ming's mother lived when she went home to save her relatives.

Xu Tian couldn't resist her, so he could only call a subordinate to lead her way, and he stayed.

"I remember, didn't Yuan Ming disappear when he went to southern Xinjiang three years ago, why did he suddenly come back? And make such a big deal? The third uncle watched Luo Xing'er leave and wondered.

"I don't know the specifics, I heard the news brought back by the monks who went to participate in the abdication ceremony in the sect, saying that Yuan Ming's cousin disappeared that year, and it was the black hand of the national teacher behind his back, but I didn't expect him to be a blessing in disguise, and he practiced in southern Xinjiang for three years, and when he returned, he was already in the foundation building period, so he found the national teacher to take revenge." Xu Tian shook his head and said.

"Foundation building period...... How does it compare with your grandma? "Uncle doesn't know much about the immortal cultivation world, so he is also a little confused at this time.

"Grandma, she is also in the foundation building period, so she should be between Zhong Bo." Xu Tian said.

Yuan Ming's two uncles were silent at the same time, and their faces showed some worried expressions.

"At first, Zongli didn't know about the relationship between grandma and Yuan Ming, but later someone inquired about it, and Zongli's attitude towards grandma and me immediately changed, and there was an elder who didn't deal with grandma before, and he also gave a lot of gifts with a pleasant face." Xu Tian added.

"In the past few days, I have also inquired about some cousin's deeds, now let alone Senior Sister Luo, even me, I can't admire him." Xu Tian's face showed a little admiration.

"In this way, Yuan Ming killed the national teacher, which is still a good thing for our Xu family?" The uncle stroked his mustache.

"It's not all, the sect Changchun Guan behind the national teacher has a huge power, and my cousin not only offended them, but also made them lose face, I'm afraid there will be a lot of trouble in the future, and my grandmother is also in retreat because of this, thinking about mentioning cultivation, and having more say in the sect to take my cousin for shelter. Don't worry too much, Yuan Ming has built a foundation and cultivated at such a young age, and he also defeated the Great Jin National Teacher, and his future is limitless. In the future, it will be my family's right-hand man. Xu Tian sighed.

The two uncles talked about Yuan Ming's influence on the family in the future.

Yuan Ming listened outside for a moment, and then left directly.
