Zhu Yuanchang said that he would leave in half a month, but he was reluctant to have a full house of children and grandchildren and a group of wives and concubines at home, and lived at home with Zhu Ganglie for two months before he went on the road again.

When they came back, they heard that there would be a large gathering of monks in Chengzhou, and this time they went straight to Chengzhou to see if there was a chance to buy something that could enhance the family's heritage, such as exercises, spells, high-level items, and the like.

It's still helpless to say, the Zhu family now has tens of thousands of spirit stones, which is a huge amount of money, but they don't dare to spend it if they don't have the strength.

Zhu Yuanchang also talked about his distress experience in a remote Fang City in Yunzhou, he just bought a rare refining material with a thousand spirit stones, and was targeted by several local snake cultivators and followed him for a long time. Fortunately, Zhu Yuanchang noticed it in time and used the variety mask that Zhu Youdao gave him to get rid of those people.

So, in the cultivation realm, if you want to live for a long time, you have to be an honest turtle with a shrunken head.

Not long after Zhu Yuanchang's father and son left the mountain, more than a dozen teenagers were sent up the mountain, these young men and women are the children of the powerful families of the Yue country, although the identity is not as good as the last Li Yunniang, Xie Xiaohong and Liu Qian'er, but their families have a lot of influence in the Yue country.

These people are here for a blind date.

The Zhu family is a Xiuzhen family, and the mortal magnates want to get closer.

Zhujiazhuang now has a lot of half-grown children, and they have also reached the age of marrying, so naturally there are many girls who are about to become adults and need to marry out.

These young men and women from Yue were personally selected by Zhu Youdao's uncle Zhu Kui, and their character and family background were good, and other families also had the will to do so, so Zhu Kui personally brought them up the mountain for the children of the Zhu family to personally choose.

If you choose the right day to get married, if it is a girl, you will stay in Zhujiazhuang, and if it is a boy, you will marry the daughter of the Zhu family.

Even if the selection is not successful, the Zhu family also has generous gifts and will not let the family come for nothing.

Zhu Youdao was too lazy to care about such a thing, so he let Zhu Kui handle it himself.

There were also four five or six-year-old dolls, who were the children of the Zhu family's children in the Yue Kingdom, and sent them to the mountain to let Zhu Youdao test whether there was a spiritual root. There is a natural focus on cultivating spiritual roots, and if there is no spiritual root, they will stay in the mountains to learn arts, and go down the mountain when they become adults.

Zhu Youdao personally tested it, but unfortunately none of the four children had spiritual roots.

After the test, Uncle Zhu Kui looked regretful, one of the four children was his grandson.

Seeing that Zhu Kui was a little speechless and stopped, as if he wanted to say something, Zhu Youdao said: "Uncle, what do you want to say, but it doesn't hurt to say it!"

Only then did Zhu Kui say: "There is a way, before I went up the mountain this time, Emperor Yue entrusted me with a matter, he wanted to send a few princes and princesses up the mountain, and let you help test the spiritual root!"

Zhu Youdao's face changed: "Uncle, you agreed?"

Zhu Kui hurriedly said: "No, no, how dare I agree if you don't agree to such a thing?"

"But you still promised to help me ask me!" Zhu Youdao said sternly, "Uncle, you should refuse and not give Emperor Yue the slightest thought!"

Seeing that his nephew, who had always been gentle, actually reprimanded him harshly, Zhu Kui was also a little annoyed, although he was not a monk, he was an elder, he said: "It's just to test the spiritual root, what's the matter?"

Zhu Youdao said in a deep voice: "Uncle, let me ask you, why did the Yue Emperor send someone to test? Because he thinks that his royal bloodline is very good, he will definitely produce children with spiritual roots! I heard that the current Yue Huang has a lot of suspicions, and if the test finds that there is no spiritual root, he will suspect that we are deliberately concealing it, and saying that those who have spiritual roots have no spiritual roots! This will cause him to be suspicious of the Zhu family, which is not conducive to the development of the Zhu family in the Yue Kingdom!"

Zhu Youdao paused and continued: "If it is really detected that which prince and princess have spiritual roots, uncle, you said that our Zhu family does not teach them the exercises of cultivation?"

Zhu Kui blurted out: "Of course you can't teach!"

Zhu Youdao nodded: "Yes, it can't be taught! If it is passed on, there are so many royal bloodlines in the Yue Kingdom, and in a few decades, they will produce a lot of monks, and they will be able to compete with the Zhu family! There will even be the idea of eradicating the Zhu family! If they are not taught the cultivation exercises, the Yue Emperor will definitely try his best to send the children with spiritual roots to learn the Tao elsewhere, no matter whether they succeed or not, they will come into contact with monks from other places, thus affecting the status of the Zhu family in the Yue Kingdom!"

Hearing Zhu Youdao say this, Zhu Kui broke out in a cold sweat. He trembled and said, "There is a way, I will never mention this again!"

Zhu Youdao nodded, and his tone softened a little: "Uncle, I know that you have a good heart and will not refuse other people's requests." My uncle King Jingyang is also a member of the royal family of the Yue Kingdom, more than ten years ago, he begged my mother to ask my father to test the spiritual roots of several children of my uncle's family, but my father refused at that time, and he didn't even give them a thought. Only the Zhu family, a cultivation force in the Yue Kingdom, can the Zhu family have a transcendent status, which involves the root of the family and is non-negotiable!"

Zhu Kui kept nodding and admitting his mistake again and again.

After Zhu Kui left, Zhu Youdao felt a little uneasy in his heart, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that this matter was not simple, he called the maid and ordered: "Go to the plum garden and call the fourth master to come over!"

The maid obeyed.

Zhu Youdao was thinking about something in the room, and after half an hour, someone knocked on the door.

"Come in!" Zhu Youdao commanded.

Then came a man about forty years old, his face was vaguely similar to Zhu Yuanchang, it was Zhu Youdao's fourth uncle Zhu Zhen.

"Fourth uncle, you accompany me to Yueguo, I'm not familiar with it!"

"Did something happen?" asked Zhu Zhen.

"Emperor Yue wants to send the prince and princess up the mountain, let me help them test whether there is a spiritual root!"

"Emperor Yue dares to spy on my Zhu family's immortal cultivation method?" Zhu Zhen's eyes showed a hint of murderous intent, "There is a way, you don't need to go in person, I will kill Emperor Yue, and ensure that the gods do not know the ghosts!"

Zhu Youdao shook his head and said: "Things will not be so simple, Emperor Yue and our Zhu family have a tacit understanding, the Zhu family protects their national security, and they do not interfere in the matter of cultivating the truth." I've been like this for decades, and this time Emperor Yue is so uncomposed, I suspect he has another purpose! I have to go and see it for myself to rest assured!"

Zhu Zhen nodded: "Okay, when will you leave?"

"Let's go to Yue Guo before the uncle to take a look, we will go down the mountain tonight, and we will go overnight, fourth uncle, you prepare first!"

After Zhu Zhen left, Zhu Youdao called the third daughter again.

After everyone arrived, Zhu Youdao took out three storage bags: "Each of you has one in this storage bag, there are some magic talismans in it, you can practice if you have nothing to do, tomorrow I will go down the mountain to do something, and I will come back in a few days, and the family will rely on you to protect it!"

The three girls cheered and hurried to get the storage bag, they had been coveting the storage bag for a long time.

Zhu Youqing is the most naughty, she takes out the things inside, puts them in, takes them in, takes them out again, and has fun playing over and over again.

Li Yunniang took out a few flying knives and looked left and right.

Only Xie Xiaohong said a little unhappily: "Husband doesn't treat us as his own family!"

Zhu Youdao was inexplicable: "You are my wife, why don't you treat you as your own family?"

"Hmph! There are no pans in this, Youqing said, only if there is a pan, can you be regarded as a member of the Zhu family!"

Zhu Youdao has a black line, what does the pan have to do with the Zhu family, you don't cook, what do you want the pan to do?

At this time, Zhu Youqing came out to make trouble: "That's it! The frying pan is only available to the Zhu family, and only with the frying pan can it be regarded as a member of the Zhu family!" she said as she took out the frying pan toys that Zhu Youdao had refined for her from her waist, shook them in front of Xie Xiaohong conspicuously, and then put them in the storage bag.

Xie Xiaohong said: "Look at you, there are sunshines, but Yun Niang and I don't, you just don't treat us as your own family!"

Seeing that Li Yunniang was also staring at him unhappily, Zhu Youdao had no choice but to take out two frying pans from his storage bag, which were all magic weapons he usually refined, and the quality had reached the first-order middle grade.

He handed the pan to the two women, and they were happy.

Zhu Youdao had a headache, and he didn't know when it started, after all the children of the Zhu family began to practice martial arts, the first thing they did was to ask him for a frying pan under the leadership of their parents. Including the children of the Zhu family in the Yue Kingdom, the first thing they did after returning to the mountain was to ask for a pan. It seems that only with a frying pan can he be regarded as a member of the Zhu family.
