Xu Jinyi heard the ease of Shi Xuan’s words, and smiled and responded: "Thank you Master Shi for the generous gift. Why don’t you go to Phoenix Tower to have some food and wine? Brother Tianqi is also there. He hasn’t seen you for a long time."
Shi Xuan handed the two brothers Xu Haojie and Xu Haoyu to Xu Jinyi, and then walked slowly on the river to Phoenix Tower: "Okay, I wonder if Brother Tianqi can stay? I heard that he is now the deputy owner of Xiyu Tower. By the way, why do you call me Master Shi? I remember that you agreed to accept disciples on behalf of the master."
Xu Jinyi He also held a person in one hand and said, "Brother Tianqi has been very powerful these years. The owner of the Zhu building has already semi-retired, so he is the real helmsman of Xiyu Building. Of course, he mainly relies on the support of our Xu family's expansion in recent years. And this is all thanks to your teachings, Master Shi. Without this, how could Jinyi achieve what it has today? Without Jinyi's achievements today, how could the Xu family have the power it has today." As he spoke, a bitter smile appeared on his face, and his expression was a little tired.
After a pause, he continued, "The reason why I call you Master Shi is that Jinyi feels that calling you Senior Brother cannot express my inner gratitude and Master Shi's teachings to me. Although I am accepting disciples on behalf of the master, I am also half a master."
Shi Xuan nodded, which was considered to be an approval of this title, and then smiled and said, "It's okay to call you that, but there is no need to be so reserved. I still remember how lively and interesting you were back then, Jinyi."
Xu Jinyi blushed, "I was still young at that time, and now I am over 30 years old. How can I be like before? Besides, I haven't seen you for almost 20 years. Master Shi, you seem to have made great progress in cultivation. Jinyi was surprised by this for a while, so I was a little polite." Others may not know, but Xu Jinyi knows how shocking it is to walk on the river without magic. Unexpectedly, after 20 years, the gap between his cultivation and Master Shi's is even greater.
"Oh, Shi feels like an ordinary person." Shi Xuan knew how Xu Jinyi saw that his cultivation had improved greatly, but there was still some distance to the Phoenix Tower, so he asked casually.
Xu Jinyi said admiringly: "Jinyi knows how difficult it is to walk on the river by one's own strength. Besides, I often hear people say that the more masters are, the more they return to the original nature, and the less they can see the style of masters. Master Shi, you now look like an ordinary person who has never practiced martial arts, so you should be more powerful than before." As the conversation progressed, Xu Jinyi slowly put aside his restraint, which can be seen from the difference between you and you.
"When you reach the Qi-inducing stage, you will understand the wonderful use of true qi. But I am like this now not because of my cultivation, but for other reasons. That is a long story. I will tell you later. Anyway, remember that when you reach the Qi-inducing stage, you will have the pressure of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth." After all, Shi Xuan taught Xu Jinyi for a period of time, but it was difficult to get rid of the tone of the master.
Xu Jinyi opened her mouth slightly, surprised, excited and happy: "So, Master Shi, you have broken through the void?" Although she inherited the "Return to the True Sutra", her whole family is in the martial arts world. When it comes to realms, the most familiar thing is the division of the martial arts world.
Shi Xuan sighed, "Yes, but this is just the beginning for the immortal path. There are still countless difficulties and obstacles ahead."
Xu Jinyi didn't have any direct feelings about these, but looked at Shi Xuan with admiration and respect. Following behind Master Shi, she seemed to have returned to her teenage years, so carefree, no longer worried about family trivialities, and her steps were much lighter.
…………
The people on the river bank, watching Shi Xuan in his flying Taoist robe and Xu Jinyi in her fluttering red skirt walk side by side across the river and disappear in the distance, just sighed with disappointment. Today's events, today's scenes, today's two immortals, a man and a woman, will probably never be erased from their memories.
When the people in the Phoenix Building saw Shi Xuan and Xu Jinyi walking side by side with laughter, they all stood up involuntarily, stood on both sides of the corridor and corridor, lowered their heads slightly, and respectfully sent the two upstairs. Then they looked at the backs of the two with envy, admiration, and awe, and only hated that they didn't have the opportunity to become immortals.
The same was true for the high-ranking officials and martial arts masters, who stood respectfully on both sides and returned to their seats after Shi Xuan and Xu Jinyi sat down. The sounds of talking and laughing began to resound, but no one dared to bring up the topic of the two gods. They could only talk about trivial matters and occasionally steal a glance.
At the table of Shi Xuan and Xu Jinyi, except for the owner of Xiyu Tower, Zhu Louzhu, the governor of Yangzhou, Xiong Gang, and the Duke of Anguo, Wang Tie, all the people were from the Xu family. Shi Xuan was more familiar with Xu Tianqi and another white-haired old man. It was him, Xu Yueze, the head of the Xu family, who presided over the funeral of the old Taoist Xu in Xia'an Mansion.
"Master Xu, it's been a long time since we last met. You are still as strong as ever." No matter what, he helped the old Taoist Xu preside over the funeral. To Shi Xuan, he was an elder, so Shi Xuan greeted him first.
Xu Yueze raised his glass in surprise: "Thank you for your courtesy, Master Shi. You look the same as you did back then." Shi Xuan's cultivation progress was not bad, so even if he didn't take the anti-aging pill, he still looked like he was about 20 years old back then.
Zhu Louzhu of Xiyulou, Xiong Gang, the governor of Yangzhou, and Wang Tie, the Duke of Anguo, looked at each other and were secretly shocked. How many secrets did the Xu family hide? There was a god in his house more than 20 years ago. He was able to endure for so many years, so he must have great ambitions. It was a wise move for them to choose to cooperate.
"Shi, Master Shi." Xu Tianqi originally wanted to call him Senior Brother Shi, but he still has not been able to reach the subtle realm after so many years, and the gap between him and Shi Xuan is even greater. After holding it in for a long time, he followed Xu Jinyi and called him Master Shi, "Let's hurry up. We haven’t seen each other for twenty years, but Tianqi still vividly remembers the scene when we were studying together.”
"Brother Tianqi, why are you so polite? We grew up together, just call me by my name." Shi Xuan had the confidence to be approachable, but Xu Tianqi didn't have the strength to accept it. He just smiled and said: "Don't dare, don't dare, By the way, this is my wife, Ms. Liu, come and give Master Shi a quick drink."
The whole banquet ended with everyone peeking at Shi Xuan and Xu Jinyi with awe and curiosity from time to time, but the two of them talked and laughed indifferently. To Shi Xuan, other people's eyes and words were like passing by. The spring breeze blows through your ears.
…………
In the Xu family's mansion, in Xu Jinyi's meditation room, Shi Xuan sat on a futon, answering Xu Jinyi's questions about her practice over the years one by one, and corrected some of her mistakes, and then said to Xu Jinyi: "I have something to ask you. ? "After the banquet, Shi Xuan and the Xu family returned to the Xu family mansion under the courtesy of Lord Zhu, Governor Xiong, and Duke An. Then Xu Jinyi took Shi Xuan to the quiet room where she practiced. Tian Shixuan will live here, because if he arranges another guest room, he is afraid that it will be noisy or other curious and respectful people in the clan will disturb Shi Xuan.
When Xu Jinyi's long-standing questions were answered, he was extremely happy and immediately replied: "Master Shi, just ask, as long as Jinyi knows, I will definitely answer."
Shi Xuan did not ask directly, but said: "Didn't Jinyi ask me where I have been these years? I went to the overseas world of immortality."
Xu Jinyi's eyes were wide open, with a hint of excitement: "The world of immortality?"
"Yes." Shi Xuan nodded, and then roughly introduced the Three Islands Sea, the Fire Islands Sea, the North Sea, the Falling Star Sea, the seas of overseas countries, the Southern Barbarian Continent, the Western Wasteland, the North Pole, etc., and introduced the major sects. After describing it and pointing out the reasons for the lack of spiritual energy and resources in the Middle Earth, he finally asked solemnly: "Are you willing to continue practicing in the world of immortality?"
Xu Jinyi's face showed mixed emotions of longing and hesitation. Shi Xuan's description just now has made Xu Jinyi's heart beat. The beautiful sea, the island of fire that always erupts, is like a sect in a fairy palace, and all kinds of strange things. Monsters are all so wonderful, but when she thought of her parents' love and the warmth of her home, Xu Jinyi hesitated a little. After a long time, she said: "Jinyi is not alone. I wonder if I can bring someone from the family?"
"Yes, I can also apply to the sect to give you an island with good resources so that your family can inherit Master Xu's tradition." Shi Xuan nodded without hesitation.
Xu Jinyi bit her lip lightly and said hesitantly: "In this case, it concerns the entire family, and Jinyi has to ask everyone what they want."
Shi Xuan sighed slightly: "It should be so."
Xu Jinyi bowed and resigned, and went to the central hall to gather the core clan members for discussion.
After a long time, Xu Jinyi came back and said to Shi Xuan with a slightly pale face: "There are some differences among the clan members, and Jin Yi doesn't know much about it, so I asked Master Shi to explain it to them."
Shi Xuan nodded, stood up and followed Xu Jinyi to the central hall. In fact, their argument had been clearly sensed by Shi Xuan with his spiritual sense.
When Xu Jinyi initially announced that Master Shi could take all of them to the overseas world of immortality, everyone was extremely excited. But after calming down, a large number of people objected. The reason is that the overseas world of immortal cultivation is extremely dangerous and not as stable as the Middle Earth. In fact, the real reason is that they are all those who have no mentality of cultivating immortals and have simply entered the gate of immortality. In the world of immortality, one can only be at the bottom. How can one enjoy and be at ease by dominating one side in this worldly world?
And the small group of people who agree, either themselves or their close relatives have stepped into the threshold of immortality through Xu Jinyi's teachings over the years, and can go to the world of immortality with more spiritual energy, more resources, and better skills. For them, It is an incomparably wonderful thing, and even a few teenagers have begun to long for their heroic appearance of flying into the sky, escaping from the earth, and slaying demons.
Although there are many people who oppose it, the core of the family is in the hands of a small number of people who have entered the threshold of immortality, so there was a stalemate until someone asked a question: "What is the strength of the overseas immortal world? For our monks , How dangerous is it when you go there?”
This question made the small group of people begin to hesitate. If they went to the world of immortality and were at the bottom, working for others, it would be better not to go. So they unanimously asked Xu Jinyi to ask Shi Xuan to give a lecture. clear.
