Knowing that Su Xiaofan was leaving Yanjing tomorrow, Xuanrui came back early today, and the family of four was sitting in the living room.
Although it was only half a month, Xuan Rui felt that her life was very fulfilling. If she could, she would like to live happily like this for the rest of her life.
Of course, Xuanrui's life does not only refer to shopping. In the past half month, their family also went to Yanjing's scenic spots, and many of them went there for the first time.
When she wants to cook, she buys some food and the family works together. When she doesn't want to cook, she eats out. Watching her husband and son bicker every day is a kind of happiness for Xuan Rui.
"Well, tomorrow I will go to Qinling Mountains first, and then go to Dayun Province."
Su Xiaofan nodded, he was a little reluctant to leave, but Minister Hua asked for help, so Su Xiaofan still had to give him face.
And after being idle for more than half a month, Su Xiaofan also planned to go out for a walk. He wanted to go to the Qinling restricted area first and bring some delicious food to Master and the others.
"Mom, you can live peacefully here."
Su Xiaofan said with a smile: "I will take Xiaoxiao away and let her go back to Qinling Mountains to practice. You and my dad can live in a world of two."
Hearing his son's words, Su Weixuan couldn't help but his eyes shone, and he secretly gave his son a thumbs up.
Su Weixuan has been a little annoyed recently. Her daughter, who is almost 20 years old, is still clinging to her mother all day long and insists on sleeping with her mother at night, which makes Su Weixuan angry and unable to vent her anger.
"I'm not leaving, I just need to practice here."
When Su Xiaoxiao heard that her brother was going to take her back to the restricted area, she immediately exploded, "I want to be with my mother, Su Xiaofan, you can't separate us!"
"Xiaofan, are you going to Dayun Province?"
Xuanrui was also a little reluctant to let go of her son and daughter. She looked at her husband and said, "Weixuan, how about we go together? I haven't been back for many years."
Xuan Rui was originally from Dayun Province. When Su Xiaofan said this, she felt a little homesick in her heart and wanted to go back to pay homage to her relatives.
"Okay, let's go together." Su Weixuan obeyed his wife's words.
"Okay, let me book a high-speed rail ticket. It's faster to take the high-speed rail for such a long distance."
Su Xiaofan nodded, but if he was traveling far away, his car would be a bit too hard to sit on. It didn't matter when Su Xiaofan drove it by himself. He might as well take the high-speed rail with his mother.
"Go back to Luochuan first, and I'll bring the monkey wine with me."
Su Xiaofan looked at Su Weixuan, "Dad, take mom to visit grandpa's grave. After you left, grandpa had a hard time with us."
"Go!"
Before Su Weixuan opened his mouth, Xuan Rui said: "I'm going to thank dad for helping us bring out such a good pair of children."
"But……"
Su Weixuan hesitated for a moment, "Everyone in the village thought you were dead."
When Su Weixuan took Xuan Rui away, he said that he was going to a big city for treatment. When he came back later, he said that the disease was not cured and the person had died.
After so many years, if Xuan Rui suddenly appeared in front of acquaintances in the village, Su Weixuan was afraid of scaring them out.
"Dad, let's not go into the village, but go directly to the ancestral graves, burn the paper for grandpa and leave."
Su Xiaofan came up with a plan. It was not for the holidays. Usually no one goes to the ancestral graves, and there is no risk of being discovered by acquaintances.
"Okay, let's do it!" Su Weixuan nodded in agreement.
The next day, Su Xiaofan's family of four took a taxi and went straight to the station, where they boarded the high-speed train bound for Luochuan.
It takes about ten hours by car, and just over three hours by high-speed rail. If Su Xiaofan didn't want the feeling of self-driving, the high-speed rail would actually be more convenient.
"Xiaofan, this way, this way."
As soon as we got out of the station, Brother Gang was waiting at the door, waving his hands and shouting.
"Uncle, you are still so handsome."
As soon as they met Brother Gang, he flattered Su Weixuan first. They had met several times when Su Xiaofan was electrocuted, so they were considered acquaintances.
"Oh, this is my aunt. If you don't know, I might think you are Xiaofan's sister."
Su Xiaofan told Brother Gang about his mother on the phone. Of course, he just said that his mother had been receiving medical treatment abroad for these years and had just been brought back to China recently.
"Gangzi, thank you for taking care of Xiaofan."
Xuanrui heard her son talk about Zheng Dagang and was very grateful to this man who helped her son a lot.
"We are brothers outside, so shouldn't we share our share?"
Brother Gang said hello to Su Xiaoxiao again, and then led a few people to the parking lot.
Knowing that a lot of people were coming, Brother Gang drove a business car. He just bought this car this year and it was in the name of the company.
"Brother Gang, how is sister-in-law? Look, I said I would bring you some meat back, but the delay lasted for several months."
Su Xiaofan was sitting in the co-pilot, a little embarrassed. After leaving the beautiful country, he returned to the Glacier Restricted Area and stayed there for more than three months, which delayed Zheng Dagang's matter.
"Your sister-in-law is doing well. She is now five months pregnant. There is still some meat left from the meat you brought before, so I gave it to your sister-in-law."
Zheng Dagang chuckled and said: "Xiaofan, we have agreed that you will accept my son as his apprentice after he is born."
"Okay, I'll get you some other meat later. You can eat more of that one, but you can't eat it secretly."
Su Xiaofan also laughed when he heard this. Since he was planning to accept a disciple, he wanted to improve the disciple's qualifications in his mother's womb.
Compared with holy bear meat, musk meat is actually more suitable for ordinary people to eat, and the energy contained in it is extremely mild, and it will not cause harm to the body even if you eat too much.
When a woman is pregnant, most of the nutrients she eats will be absorbed by the fetus. In other words, the boy from Zheng Dagang's family began to nourish his body in the womb.
"Brother Gang, how do you know it's a boy? Didn't you say you're not allowed to see the gender of the fetus?"
Su Xiaoxiao has been competing with Su Xiaofan for favor at home recently, and she has a tendency to be a bit of a brawler, wanting to quarrel with everyone.
"It's not allowed in China, but your sister-in-law found out she was pregnant abroad, and foreigners don't care about these things."
Brother Gang smiled and looked at Su Xiaoxiao, "Xiaoxiao, you know a lot. Are you looking for a boyfriend? You have to show it to Brother Gang later."
"Not at all."
Su Xiaoxiao couldn't quarrel with Brother Gang, an old driver, and his face turned red after being choked out for just one sentence.
"Brother Gang, do you still have money?"
Su Xiaofan changed the topic and helped her sister out, "In the past two years, I may not have time to go shopping for antiques anymore."
"Yes, there are more than 100 million left. Xiaofan, do you want to use the money? I will transfer it to your account for you."
Brother Gang said nonchalantly: "The value of gold has increased recently, and the art market is not very good. The batch of jade we auctioned was at a high point, and now it has dropped a lot."
"It seems that countries are not unprepared."
Su Xiaofan naturally knew what was going on. Whenever there was a disaster or war, gold would definitely rise sharply, while antiques would fall to the bottom.
"I don't need the money, so you can keep the more than one hundred million to spend."
Su Xiaofan shook his head and said: "Hurry up and renovate the villa here in Jinghu Lake. Once the renovation is completed, you can live here and stock up on more food at home."
Su Xiaofan can't judge what impact the spiritual energy recovery will have now, but if something goes wrong, living in a villa is much better than being locked up in the city.
"The decoration has already been installed, but your sister-in-law is pregnant and I don't want her to live in the new house."
Zheng Dagang thought for a moment and said, "It's been ventilated for a few months. I'll find someone to remove the formaldehyde later and move it here."
Zheng Dagang still attaches great importance to Su Xiaofan's words. His villa is basically made of environmentally friendly materials without any industrial glue, so it is actually not a big problem.
A few people were chatting in the car, and forty minutes later, the car drove into the Jinghu Villa area.
The environment here is actually better than the villa in Yanjing. It is surrounded by mountains, rivers and green plants. Xuan Rui fell in love with it at first sight.
Brother Gang is very good at doing things. After receiving the call that Su Xiaofan was coming back, he hired a few cleaners to clean Su Xiaofan's villa.
In the evening, Su Xiaofan took Brother Gang and refused to let him go, leaving him to eat a meal of stewed musk beef.
Brother Gang bit his tongue several times during this meal. He has never eaten such delicious meat in his entire life.
Only then did Brother Gang know why Su Xiaofan said he wouldn't be allowed to eat it secretly, because the meat was so fragrant. Brother Gang promised that he would definitely eat it secretly.
Before leaving, Su Xiaofan processed two hundred kilograms of musk beef for Brother Gang and cut it all into slices. They could eat it when they went home and scalded it in a hot pot.
Knowing that Su Xiaofan and his family were going back to Sujiacun the next day, Brother Gang made an appointment to pick them up early in the morning.
The next morning, Su Weixuan took Xuanrui and his children to pay homage to his father. Due to Xuanrui's reasons, he did not go to Sujiacun and returned directly to Luochuan.
After staying in Luochuan for two or three days, Su Xiaofan booked a high-speed rail ticket to Zhongnan.
This time they were received by a vehicle from the relevant department. After the staff sent them to Zhongnan, they asked Su Xiaofan if he wanted to take a helicopter to the restricted area.
Su Xiaofan was repulsed from the bottom of his heart by the modern means of transportation that flew in the sky, so naturally he refused.
Except for Su Xiaoxiao, who was a little weak in cultivation and was taken away by Su Xiaofan, the other three were Yang Shen cultivators. Two hours later, several people arrived near the entrance to the Qinling restricted area.
The barren mountains and ridges of the past have now become a modern market town covering an area of hundreds of thousands of square meters. There are hospitals, schools and supermarkets. Everything you can buy outside will only be more complete here.
Su Xiaofan could feel that there were deadly weapons hidden in many places here, and some weapons could even give him a strong sense of crisis.
In addition, there are many cultivators in this market town. According to Su Xiaofan's spiritual sense, there are seven or eight cultivators in the foundation building stage alone, and there are more than hundreds of cultivators in the Qi training stage.
However, the Qinling Forbidden Zone is a forbidden zone that has reached the Saint level and has a relatively high concentration of spiritual energy. As long as there are no Yang Shen cultivators practicing in it, there is no problem in accommodating thirty or fifty Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators.
Being so close to the restricted area, Su Xiaofan's spiritual consciousness immediately noticed that the spiritual energy here was a bit richer than the outside world. It seemed that the restricted area was indeed overflowing with spiritual energy.
"Xiaofan, do you want to take Duobao away when you come here this time?"
The person who greeted Su Xiaofan and his entourage was Uncle Lu'an. I don't know if it was because of practicing in the restricted area during this period, but Lu'an's cultivation had reached the peak of the middle stage of foundation building, and was not far from the late stage of foundation building.
"No, let it stay here."
Su Xiaofan shook his head, first introduced his parents to Lu'an, and then said: "I brought something for you, Master and Aunt Mei, let's go into the restricted area and talk."
Su Xiaofan didn't plan to stay in Qinling Mountains longer. Chaofan, the restricted area in Dayun Province, has been coming out more frequently recently. Although Hualong didn't rush Su Xiaofan, he also knew that Minister Hua was in a hurry.
"Okay, let's go to the restricted area first."
With Lu'an taking them, Su Weixuan and his wife, who had never done automatic identification, naturally would not be stopped, and the group entered the restricted area.
Walking into the restricted area, Su Xiaofan suddenly felt a sense of comfort all over his body. Even though the spiritual energy in the periphery was a little low, it was much stronger than the turbid air outside.
It was very convenient to find people in the restricted area. Su Xiaofan's consciousness extended outwards, and after a moment he captured the figures of Master and Duobao.
In addition, fellow seniors Zhao Yijian, Wen Wenming, and Mo Zixuan, Zhao Qingyao, were also in the restricted area. Su Xiaofan thought for a moment, and the sound rang in several people's ears at the same time.
"Huh? Xiaofan is back."
Zhao Yijian and Wenming woke up from trance at the same time, got up and rushed to the place where Jing Shizhen was retreating.
Duobao, who was lying not far from the space crack to absorb the spiritual energy, suddenly raised his ears. A humanized smile appeared on the cat's face, and his figure suddenly disappeared from the spot.
"Master, Aunt Mei, these are my parents..."
At Jing Shizhen's retreat, Su Xiaofan introduced his parents to Uncle Jing and Aunt Mei.
"Speaking of which, brother Weixuan and I have met before, but I didn't expect that your father was a foundation-building cultivator back then."
Looking at Su Weixuan, Jing Shizhen had a look of emotion on his face. He had been to Sujia Village more than 20 years ago and had met Su Weixuan, but Su Weixuan's cultivation was so well hidden that Jing Shizhen didn't realize that he was actually a cultivator.
.
"I never thought about letting Xiaofan practice, nor did I expect that he would choose you as a famous teacher."
Su Weixuan respected Jing Shizhen very much. He was the elder in terms of age and his son's master in terms of status. As parents, Su Weixuan and Xuan Rui should be grateful to each other.
While a few people were chatting, Duobao came over first, meowing in his mouth, and pounced on Su Xiaofan.
This scene shocked Xuanrui. The big cat, which was more than three meters long, could fit his son's head in with one bite. Xuanrui was so frightened that he wanted to take action on the spot.
Fortunately, when she saw her son hugging the big cat's neck, as if one person and one cat were affectionate, Xuan Rui immediately understood that this was the pet cat Su Xiaofan was talking about.
Xuanrui didn't know what to say to her son. He didn't even have a girlfriend, but he was so affectionate with a cat.
However, Xuan Rui felt relieved after a while, because two girls with looks, body and temperament that were completely different from those of daughters also arrived.
Seeing the familiarity between the two girls and her daughter, Xuanrui had already made up her mind to ask which girl was better to be her son's girlfriend later.
Su Xiaofan naturally didn't know what his mother was thinking. He was very happy to see so many acquaintances.
Su Xiaofan simply discussed it with his father and asked him to release the Qiankun Cauldron and prepare a cauldron of stewed meat, so that everyone could try the musk musk beef and soak it in the rain and dew.
And just when Su Weixuan released the Qiankun Cauldron, revealing a hint of Yang Shen's pressure, everyone realized that this elegant-looking middle-aged man was actually a Yang Shen cultivator.
However, everyone here has a distant or close relationship with Su Xiaofan, so they are not very restrained. They enjoy drinking and eating meat.
Su Xiaofan finally prepared two taels of musk tea and one hundred kilograms of musk beef for Zhao Yijian and Senior Brother Wenming, which surprised them both.
Especially Brother Wenming, who has already been a cultivator in the late stage of foundation building, but because his spiritual consciousness is not strong enough, he cannot reach the realm of Yangshen, but this musk tea gives him a glimmer of hope.
Wen Wenming and Zhao Yijian knew that their relationship with Su Xiaofan was far away, so they said goodbye after having a good meal and wine.
These people who were left behind were the ones who were really close to each other. Su Xiaofan gave Master Mei and Aunt Mei a pound of musk tea each, and Master Lu'an also gave half a pound.
As for Mo Zixuan and Zhao Qingyao, they were only practicing Qi cultivation, while Su Xiaofan gave them two taels each.
But what makes Su Xiaofan a little confused is why his mother keeps winking at her when giving things to Mo Zixuan and Zhao Qingyao? Is it because she feels sorry for these two taels of musk tea?
"Let's go, I'll give you something good."
Su Xiaofan didn't understand what his mother meant. He looked at his Duobao with his arms crossed, and stuffed a holy-level extraordinary inner elixir into Duobao's mouth.
Duobao knew it was a good thing, so he swallowed it in one gulp, and the huge energy of the inner elixir immediately emitted from Duobao's body.
"Ouch!" A roar came from his mouth, and Duobao flashed away from the crowd, trying his best to refine the inner elixir in his belly.
"Master, take this inner elixir, wait until Duobao has finished refining the inner elixir, and then give it this one."
Su Xiaofan knew that within two or three months, it would be difficult for Duobao to refine the holy inner elixir, so he immediately handed the other one to the master.
"Okay, this guy is lucky."
Jing Shizhen said with some envy, but it is a pity that the risk of cultivators refining the inner elixir is too great. If they accidentally interrupt the path of cultivation, their lives may be in danger.
"Master, when you reach the advanced stage of foundation building, I will think of a way for you."
Apart from his parents and sister, the closest people to Su Xiaofan are Brother Gang and Jing Shizhen. Naturally, he will not watch his master's cultivation stagnate.
"Eh? What's going on today? Are they both about to break through?"
Su Xiaofan suddenly felt a wave of spiritual energy coming from not far away.
Turning around, they saw that Su Xiaoxiao and Mo Zixuan had a burst of energy rising from their bodies at the same time. However, they could not suppress the true energy in their bodies and were about to break through the foundation building stage.
"Although this meat is free, don't risk your life to eat it."
Seeing the situation between the two of them, Su Xiaofan couldn't help but smile bitterly. The big pot of beef stew just now was definitely one of the factors that inspired their breakthrough.
