On a sunny morning, the willow trees spread their branches of yellow and green leaves, gently swaying in the gentle spring breeze, while the birds dance in the air in the wind, making pleasant chirpings from time to time, accompanied by the sound of children playing in the house below.

"Ahem, sit down. A voice of majesty and old age sounded, and the children who were playing hurriedly returned to their seats.

After sitting down, he shouted unevenly to the long-bearded old man on the stage, "Hello Grandpa Cui." ”

"Good, good, good," the long-bearded old man's more dry and wrinkled face also showed a little smile.

"Today, everyone continues to learn literacy, if you want to cultivate, you must learn the most basic knowledge, if you don't know words, even if you are given a peerless secret book, you will not be able to understand it. After you gradually grasp it, I will continue to explain to you the cultivation knowledge of the human body and other aspects. Okay, take out the pen and paper and start practicing. ”

As Grandpa Cui's words were finished, the children in the audience took out paper and pens and followed Grandpa Cui's writing stroke by stroke, repeating the words in their mouths.

Outside the house, a middle-aged obese man stood at the end of the window and quietly watched everything that happened inside, and when he saw Xia Mingfeng sitting in the middle, he nodded lightly, and when he was about to leave, the servant behind hurriedly ran to him.

He said softly, "Family Master, Elder Taishang invites you to come to the family meeting hall. ”

"Okay, I got it. The middle-aged man said with a somewhat gloomy face.

The middle-aged man was Xia Haihao, the head of the Xia family, and Xia Mingfeng's father, his face turned from gloomy to a little angry, and finally sighed helplessly. Alas, what should have come has come. There are three elders of the Xia family, the first one is Xia Yuan, who has reached the Great Perfection of the Transformation Period, and the other two Supreme Elders are only one step away from the Great Perfection of the late stage of the Transformation of the Gods, namely Xia and Xia Wenxin. The three Supreme Elders are all suppressing cultivation, sitting in the family, and each of them will ascend in turn after a hundred years.

Thinking of this, he retracted his expression a little, accelerated his pace through the buildings, and came to the door of a hall, Xia Haihao stopped, stood outside the door for a long time, and showed a look of helplessness and struggle, and then dissipated and walked in.

"Hai Hao, everyone is waiting for you. In the middle of the hall sat three old men, and Xia Yuan, who was the leader in the middle, looked at Xia Haihao who walked in and said slowly.

Xia Haihao bent down and bowed, then looked at the people in the hall and apologized slightly, "It's Hai Hao's to make the three ancestors and the elders and clan brothers wait for a long time." ”

"Hehe, don't get in the way, it's all a family that says it's so polite, sit down quickly, today a few of our old guys came to you to discuss the matter of the heir of the head of the family." Summer on the left is smiling and looking at Xia Haihao, and when it comes to the last sentence, the meaning of the smile has also been tightened a little. The rest of the twenty people sitting also raised their spirits and looked at Xia Haihao when they heard the words.

Xia Haihao's expression was impermanent, he calmly walked to a seat on the right and sat down, and then said slowly: "Three ancestors, Haihao is only about 50 this year, it is when he is young, is it too early to discuss the heir of the head of the family now?"

Xia Haitao, who was sitting behind on the right side, also hurriedly added: "Yes, three ancestors, mortals can be considered at the age of 50, but our Immortal Cultivation Family is 50 is just the right youth stage, is this too early and too hasty?"

The other eight clan brothers kept their mouths shut, quietly listening to any remarks. Xia Yuan looked at Xia Haihao with a little more helplessness in his eyes and said: "Huan Hao, I know what you think, you have grown up with a few of our old guys since you were a child, but Feng'er's physique can't do it at all, why do you want to be so persistent?"

"Ancestor, Feng'er's physique has been diagnosed, and it's not that it can't be cultivated. ”

"Hai Hao, you also know that Feng'er's special physique can't cultivate the Immortal Dao, even if he cultivates the Immortal Method, it is dozens of times slower than others, and the Divine Soul is too weak, and he can only wait until the Shouyuan is exhausted in this life" Xia Yuan said with some reluctance.

Xia Haihao listened quietly, his expression was calm, and he couldn't help but wait for the next answer, and only after a long time did he open his mouth and say: "Although Feng'er can't cultivate the Immortal Dao, he can start with magic skills."

"Nonsense, how can a dignified immortal cultivator family have a demon Taoist master. Xia Wenxin, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly scolded and interrupted Xia Haihao to continue.

In an instant, the calm atmosphere in the room was ignited, and more than 20 people in the room were discussing one after another, but Xia Haihao was silent and waited calmly.

Xia Ze waved his hand and said, "Ask your heart, you let Hai Hao finish asking after speaking, and be quiet." ”

The sound of discussion in the room disappeared in an instant, and they were all quietly waiting for Xia Haihao's reply.

"Isn't it okay to start cultivating demonic skills, and cultivating the Immortal Dao?"

"Are you planning to let Feng'er worship the Mixed Yuan Sect?"

"Well, Ancestor Mingjian, Feng'er has a special physique, and he made a conclusion when he was diagnosed, such as cultivating the Demon Dao Exercises, which can be a thousand miles a day. I have asked Liu Chan, my friend of life and death in my early years, and Liu Chan is now the head of the Mixed Yuan Sect. ”

More than 20 people were shocked, and there was also a look of envy, the Mixed Yuan Sect has always recruited disciples based on fate rather than family background, and generally recruited disciples in the world.

"Hai Hao, you're just a theory, at the beginning of the diagnosis, a few of our old guys were there, even if the cultivation of the Demon Dao Exercises can be thousands of miles in a day, if the Immortal Dao Exercises can't be cultivated, this can't tolerate the Ming Feng in the family. Xia Yuan looked at Xia Haihao calmly.

"Ancestor, I have already decided, if Feng'er cultivates the Demon Dao Technique and still has no hope of cultivating the Immortal Dao Technique, the heir of the Xia family head is up to you. However, it was necessary to ensure that Feng'er's cultivation resources in the past few years were sent as usual. ”

Xia Wenxin couldn't help but say: "The children in the clan will start cultivating after they are 8 years old, and I remember that the son of the tsunami is a rare immortal cultivation physique that is rare in a thousand years, if you can hand over Feng'er's resources to Yuan'er, you will definitely be able to cultivate a master for the family in a short period of time." ”

"Impossible, you can't deprive Feng'er of your cultivation resources before the results come out. Xia Haihao said hurriedly.

"Hmph, do you want to give up the immortal cultivation physique that is rare in my family for a thousand years for the sake of a demon cultivation physique?"

"Alright, you two don't make a noise. Xia Yuan waved his hand and said to Xia Wenxin and Xia Haihao.

Xia Yuan watched the two of them quiet down and stop arguing, and then said slowly: "After twelve years, the big competition in the family has decided to make the heir, if Feng'er has no hope of cultivating immortals within ten years, then directly deprive the heir of his power." And there is no help from the family. For twelve years, the cultivation resource family will continue to supply, what do you think?"

"Hai Hao has no opinion. ”

"Big brother, this" Xia Wenxin was interrupted by Xia Yuan just before he could finish speaking.

"Sixth brother, do you think that little bit of cultivation resources are lacking in our family?" Xia Yuan said unhurriedly.

After thinking about it for a long time, Xia Wenxin was silent and finally nodded in agreement.

"Okay, just do what the eldest brother says, let's stop here today, let's all disperse. At this time, the summer who spoke for half a day spoke.

After many elders and disciples bent down and saluted, after the three Supreme Elders walked out of the council hall, everyone in the room began to talk again, Xia Haihao walked straight out of the council hall, and just after a courtyard, he heard someone shouting from behind.

"Big brother, why are you leaving so fast, wait for me. ”

"Haitao, what's wrong?"

"Big brother, do you really want to send Feng'er to the Mixed Yuan Sect?"

"Well, there's no way around it, I can only use it as a live horse doctor. ”

"Big brother, when will Feng'er go to the Mixed Yuan Sect?"

"In the next six years, I will lay a little more foundation for Feng'er in these six years. ”

"Six years, is that in time?" I'm afraid" Xia Haitao looked at the calm eyes of his eldest brother, then nodded silently and stopped talking, and the two walked forward in silence.

"Mother, Mother, I'm back. Xia Mingfeng trotted all the way back to the residence in the courtyard of the main house, shouting from time to time.

As soon as he stepped into the house, he didn't see his mother Ye Rou, only his father Xia Haihao and his sixth uncle Xia Haitao were sitting in the hall talking about something, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute.

"The child Xia Mingfeng has seen his father, the sixth uncle. ”

"Ouch, Feng'er is back, come and let the sixth uncle hug you. Xia Haitao stood up from his seat, walked to Xia Mingfeng's side and picked it up directly, with a little beard on his face rubbing against Xia Mingfeng's fleshy little face.

Xia Mingfeng struggled in Xia Haitao's arms, and said a little angrily: "Sixth uncle, it hurts, your beard has pierced me." ”

"Hahaha, every time I see Uncle Feng'er, I especially like to pinch your little face. After speaking, he put Xia Mingfeng on the ground.

Xia Haihao looked at Xia Mingfeng seriously, making Xia Mingfeng quickly stand up: "Feng'er, do you want to cultivate?"

"Think," shouted without thinking.

"From now on, I am literate, and two years later, I will go to the family library and learn the books on the first floor. ”

"Studying, doesn't my father want to cultivate" Looking at his father's serious expression and eyes, Xia Mingfeng gradually stopped talking and nodded.

I saw Xia Haihao's expression change from serious to loving, and motioned for Xia Mingfeng to come to him, then touched his head with his hand and rubbed it gently, and said: "Feng'er, going to the library is to lay a foundation for you first, you will leave home in a few years, and your father will send you to the Mixed Yuan Sect to practice, do you think it is okay?"

"Mixed Yuan Sect, okay, father, Feng'er is going. He muttered, and then he looked happy, and shouted to his father.

In another courtyard, the second uncle Xia Haitsung said seriously to the child standing in front of him: "Yuan'er, after you start cultivating in two years, you have to cultivate diligently, and in the family after twelve years, you will compete in the family and seize the position of heir." ”

Xia Mingyuan nodded as if he didn't understand
