When brothers met for the first time, there was endless talk.
"Third brother is still young, but I am already old."
The eldest brother Lu Xuanxin's eyes flashed with a hint of loss, and he said sadly.
When he awakened his spiritual roots, he had no spiritual roots and could only become a mortal and live in the mortal world. Over the years, his parents occasionally visited him, but this was the first time for this third brother to visit him.
I feel somewhat close to this younger brother, but at the same time, I am extremely strange.
"Brother, the situation of our Lu family is not good. Not long ago, the ancestor of the Zifu of the family passed away, and the situation is critical; another ancestor of the Zifu came and attacked. The Lu family suffered heavy losses. Most of the foundation-building monks,
In the later stage of Qi training, all the monks and so on were killed, and less than one-tenth of the remaining monks were left."
Lu Xuanji talked about the family's past and said, "The family's situation is not good. If my eldest brother has any difficulties, I can solve them."
"The Lu family is in a big crisis."
The eldest brother Lu Xuanxin was slightly nervous, worried about the Lu family, but thinking about how he could help the family since he was just a mere mortal, he smiled and said: "I have been living in the mortal world since I was six years old. I live in a mortal family.
"My mother often visits me and gives me some gold and silver, some elixirs, and some martial arts secrets. I have no shortage of food and clothing these years, and I have a full house of children and grandchildren. I have lived a good life these years."
"As long as my brother is happy."
Lu Xuanji comforted him, taking out some pill bottles and some sundries from the storage bag, and began to introduce these items: "These are all prepared by mother for you. These are three innate pills, take them
, can help mortals become innate warriors; this is Baiyang Dan, you can take up to one pill per month, taking too much will cause indigestion; this is Tongmai Dan, which can open up the meridians of the human body; this is Huli Dan, which can be used
Come to temper your body and strengthen your energy and blood..."
He took out some pill bottles and began to count and introduce them.
If you don't have spiritual roots, you can only become a mortal.
If a mortal wants to become stronger, he can only practice martial arts.
These elixirs are all needed for practicing martial arts. They are of lower grade and can be refined by my mother.
The upper limit of martial arts is too low. Even if you become an innate warrior, it is only equivalent to the third level of Qi training.
But monks at the third level of qi training, equipped with talismans, flying swords, etc., have far better team strength than the innate warriors. When the two meet together, the innate warriors have less than a third-level winning rate.
After receiving these Danyang bottles, the eldest brother Lu Xuanxin collected the elixirs and put them into the storage bag with a somewhat depressed expression.
"Brother, this is five hundred taels of silver, given to you by my mother."
Lu Xuanji handed over another five hundred taels of silver and placed it on the table.
The eldest brother Lu Xuanxin sighed and asked unwillingly: "Third brother, is it really impossible to cultivate immortality without spiritual roots?"
"have."
Lu Xuanji spoke. Seeing his elder brother's disappointed look, he thought of the words of ancestor Jin Xi and couldn't help but said: "A senior said that there are two ways to give birth to spiritual roots in mortals. One is to lose the Yuanying monk."
Some sources can give birth to spiritual roots for mortals; one is to take the fifth-grade creation fruit, which can also give birth to spiritual roots for mortals."
"I am not the son of a Yuanying monk. How could a Yuanying monk waste his origin and give birth to spiritual roots for me? Letting a mortal give birth to spiritual roots is an act against heaven. I think the Yuanying monks will also have to pay a huge price. As for the fifth grade
Spiritual fruit, at least tens of millions of spiritual stones, is almost impossible to obtain."
The eldest brother Lu Xuanxin said bitterly, barely saying anything.
Lu Xuanji said: "My eldest brother has no spiritual roots and is just a mortal. It is certainly a tragedy. But the life of monks with spiritual roots is not good, and the world of cultivation has been deeply involved. Not long ago, more than a dozen buildings in our Lu family
Brother Ji was killed, but I was able to escape not because I was strong or smart, but because I was too weak."
"You have to be careful."
The eldest brother Lu Xuanxin said.
"Brother, how have you been these past years?"
The eldest brother Lu Xuanxin said, "It's not bad. It has been more than thirty years since I arrived in Beihe Town. I have established a family business here, with 5,000 acres of land, several shops in the county, and I have also married a girl from the Ye family. Now
He has eight concubines, twenty-six children, and about one hundred grandchildren."
"I'm getting older, my health is failing, and I can only sleep with two concubines every day. I still don't have the ability, and the family property I purchased is a bit small."
"I occupy more than half of the fields in Beihe Village, and 60% of the population are tenants of my family. The land expansion in Beihe Town has reached its limit, and we can only go to other towns."
After being greeted, the servant brought a jar of fine wine and a plate of peanuts.
The wine glasses were poured, and the two brothers clinked the glasses and began to drink.
The elder brother talked about his experiences in the mortal world and various stories.
Lu Xuanji listened with great interest.
This is the story of Zhou Bapi’s rise.
There is a warm side here, building water conservancy, developing commerce, and relieving victims; but there is also a ruthless and murderous side, destroying some competitors through underhanded means.
In this process, there is a battle of wits and courage, as well as the weighing and game of various interests.
The eldest brother has done a lot of good things and a lot of bad things. He can no longer be evaluated by simple good and evil.
In this way, temporarily living in the eldest brother's house, the eldest brother told stories and talked about what happened over the years, and the two brothers exchanged feelings.
Three days later, the eldest brother Lu Xuanxin's son, daughter, grandson, grandson, etc., about a hundred people who were outside, gathered in the old house one after another.
"Wan'er passed away five years ago, and I didn't renew my marriage. These are my concubines."
The elder brother introduced.
Women as beautiful as flowers and jade came to pay their respects one after another, calling him "third uncle".
Lu Xuanji returned the gift, giving each person a Baiyang Pill.
"Greetings to Third Uncle."
There was another crash, and a group of people fell to their knees on the ground.
Lu Xuanji sent another gift.
"Greetings to Third Grandpa."
Another group of grandchildren knelt down on the ground, huffing and puffing. The youngest had just learned to walk, and the eldest had already married and had children.
Lu Xuanji sent another gift.
Under the wine table, there was singing and dancing again, and they began to celebrate the arrival of the second uncle and second grandpa.
"Brother, I envy you that you have many children and grandchildren. You have eight concubines, the youngest of which is only thirteen years old. As the saying goes, a pear tree weighs more than a begonia. But I am still single now. I only practice, practice, practice every day."
Lu Xuanji said, envy is true envy.
"If a monk's Yuan Yang is not damaged, there will be certain benefits when he breaks through the great realm. My father only married and gave birth to the three of us after building the foundation. My ancestor only enjoyed the happiness of men and women after breaking through the Zi Mansion. As for you,
You should continue to endure it." The eldest brother smiled and continued to tease: "Third brother, you should continue to endure it, this is the price of immortality."
"Longevity always comes with a price."
Lu Xuanji smiled bitterly and said: "Reject the temptation of beauty, reject the temptation of power, reject the temptation of power, not being tempted is not because of a strong will, it is just for the sake of longevity. Let's not talk about it, drink."
Cultivation is for immortality, but what is the purpose of immortality? It is not to realize one's own desires.
The Supreme Being forgets his feelings, and it is not that he has no desires, but rather he has great desires.
To give up small desires and pursue great desires is to forget one's feelings!
