Lu Xuanping first talked about his foundation-building experience. He only said that he practiced the "Green Lotus Sword Cultivation Technique" and did not mention anything else. He also said that his spiritual awareness was slightly stronger.
Lu Xuanyuan felt it and concluded that perhaps there was something wrong with his spiritual eyes.
Lu Xuanyuan first congratulated Lu Xuanping on his successful foundation building. He didn't seem to have anything good to give him, so he decided to give him a top-grade magic weapon according to the original bet so that Lu Xuanping could use the "Green Lotus Sword Cultivation Technique" to nourish this magic weapon.
Lu Xuanping refused his great grandfather's offer to give him a magic weapon. "Great grandfather, you don't need to do this. I'm afraid I'm making a lot of money from refining pills now. You don't need to spend any more effort. Besides, our family is in trouble now. There's no need to spend these spirit stones. You've just entered the Golden Core Stage. I'm afraid you've spent a lot of spirit stones to improve your power."
"Besides, I haven't completed the level of spiritual transformation of swordsmanship, so I can't say I've fulfilled the bet."
Hearing that Lu Xuanping was thinking about him, Lu Xuanyuan smiled slightly.
"I asked Lu Xuanhai to tell you about the bet. He also told me about you. Now it seems that your swordsmanship and alchemy skills are extraordinary."
"I've also told you that you are probably the golden elixir seed of the family now, much closer to breaking through to the golden elixir than Xuanyu and the others. I originally thought that it would be difficult for you to achieve the golden elixir with your three spiritual roots, but since you have the skill of alchemy and extraordinary techniques, and have practiced the 'Blue Lotus Sword Cultivation Technique', you will definitely not be short of spirit stones in the future, so you will naturally have the opportunity to try to enter the golden elixir, and you may even have a better chance than Xuanyu and the others."
"But now you are, a top-grade flying sword is worth four or five thousand spirit stones, which is a rare profit in your hands. You can only earn a few spirit stones by practicing first-grade spirit pills now. It's better to give it to you."
"Really, no need, grandpa."
Lu Xuanping knew his own business. Thinking about the various pills and materials in his storage bag, he felt a little worried.
Although these materials are worth tens of thousands of spirit stones, they cannot be exchanged for spirit stones, which makes him feel a little embarrassed. When he had two children, Lu Rou and Lu Jun, it was easy for him to explain, and even those Qi training disciples, but people like Uncle Jiu and Lu Hao are relatively high-ranking people in the family and hold a lot of power. It might be difficult to explain then.
So he said to his great grandfather, "How should we run this store in the future? What does the family think?"
After hearing this, Lu Xuanyuan felt that Lu Xuanping seemed to want to say something, and that he seemed to have some estrangement from his family. He did not say this directly, but explained some history to him.
Afterwards, Lu Xuanyuan explained to Lu Xuanping how the Lu family was founded by Master Chongming, and how generations of foundation-building cultivators and Qi-cultivating disciples had dedicated themselves to and sacrificed to create the current situation of the Lu family.
After saying this, Lu Xuanyuan stared at Lu Xuanping with deep eyes, and suddenly asked: "Can you understand this? Do you know what I mean by telling you this?"
"I know!"
Hearing this, Lu Xuanping nodded with a heavy face, and murmured to himself in a low voice: "I have always known that you, the clan leaders, all hope that my grandson can build a foundation. I hope that after my grandson builds a foundation, he can lead the family to become stronger, so that the efforts of the family and the predecessors will not be in vain, and also allow the younger generation of cultivators in the family to have a better training environment and more training resources!"
"That's right! Why should the cultivators in our family live better than the independent cultivators? It's because we have a family to rely on and family elders who are willing to sacrifice themselves. We have the same blood and the same surname. We all hope that our descendants will not be like us, trapped in the Qi training stage and foundation building stage for their entire lives!"
"It was me before, and now it's you. We were all chosen by the family elders to achieve their goals. In order for us to achieve these goals, they are willing to make uncomplaining sacrifices and pave the way with their hard work to help us go further and higher on the path of cultivation!"
"This is the education that every person who becomes a foundation builder will receive. Although the lotus is beautiful, it also needs the support of green leaves. A fence is built with three stakes, and a hero needs three helpers."
"I am telling you so much now, not to use justice and family affection to convince you and let you shoulder heavy responsibilities. I just want to tell you that becoming a foundation builder is just the beginning, and the family's efforts also have a price!"
"You have received support from the family before, and you must repay the family in the future. I say this because I hope you will not feel pressured or dissatisfied when you repay the family."
Lu Xuanping now understood that his great grandfather thought he despised the family. He couldn't help but smile bitterly, and finally said, "That's not what I meant."
Lu Xuanyuan ignored Lu Xuanping's explanation, or rather, he had to say it whether he explained or not.
"I have gained a lot from the family. Now it is time for me to pay the price. I have decided to stop practicing. The family will no longer supply me with spiritual veins. Will I give everything to other members of the family?"
Lu Xuanping heard this and shouted, "How can this be possible? Isn't this going to cut off your path to cultivation, Grandfather?"
Lu Xuanyuan did not answer this question, but looked at Lu Xuanping kindly, "I have reached the end, and you still have a long way to go. I have delayed the family for more than 20 years, so I must use myself to illuminate the family. Do you understand?"
"I understand, but I have always wanted to repay my family, so I thought of my family when it came to alchemy."
"That's great." Lu Xuanyuan nodded with satisfaction.
Finally, Lu Xuanping expressed his concerns, "Grandpa, I may have a little more of some of the pills, will it make people feel unusual?"
This made Lu Xuanyuan frown. He didn't understand what Lu Xuanping meant. What did he mean by "a little more"? So he asked, "How much is your store's profit?"
Lu Xuanping said directly, "The profit in these three months is three thousand spirit stones." He did not earn that much, but the rewards for the system tasks were naturally far more than that. He only sold a part of it. If all of it was exchanged for spirit stones, it would be about fifteen thousand spirit stones.
Lu Xuanyuan took a breath of cold air after hearing this.
There was silence for a while, during which he kept staring at Lu Xuanping. Lu Xuanping felt a little uncomfortable being stared at by his great-grandfather.
He said, "Grandpa, what do you think?"
"call"
Lu Xuanyuan took a deep breath and said, "No wonder you... As for your business, I won't ask you. If you have any needs, just let me know. As for Lu Xuanwu and the others, just call them. The store is not a family business. You can just provide them with daily supplies and use the family name as well."
There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!
After a pause, he continued, "As for Lu Hao, come back to the Lu family with me."
Seeing that Lu Xuanping had earned more than 3,000 spirit stones in more than three months, and knowing that he could be independent, and after he had overcome his inner demons during the Jindan breakthrough, his fragile state of mind and emotions at this moment could no longer be suppressed.
Lu Xuanping was interrupted just as he was about to speak.
Lu Xuanyuan said in a low voice, "I have been hiding something from you for a long time. Now I want to tell you that I treat you well because my grandson also had spiritual eyes. So I treat you well because I love you."
After saying this, Lu Xuanyuan looked at Lu Xuanping cautiously, as if he was worried that Lu Xuanping would be dissatisfied with him or angry with him because of this matter. He then added, "But I really care about you and love you now. You are not just an outstanding descendant of the family, but my grandson."
Lu Xuanping was a little stunned when he heard what his great grandfather said. He thought it was something else that he wanted to talk about after telling him the family history. It turned out to be this. So he said to his great grandfather, "I already knew about this. My third uncle told me about it."
"What, Lu Di also knows about this." Lu Xuanyuan didn't expect that even he knew about this.
So he said calmly, "But when I first accepted you as my grandson, it was so that you could reach the foundation building stage and weaken my inner demons."
"Don't you blame me?" After saying that, he looked at Lu Xuanping with expectation.
Lu Xuanping was also stunned when he heard this. He really didn't know about this, but looking at his great grandfather's expression, he couldn't bear to see him sad, so he hurriedly asked his great grandfather to tell him about his brother. He didn't feel anything.
When Lu Xuanyuan heard Lu Xuanping's words, he was so happy that he cried, and began to tell Lu Xuanping the story of himself and his grandson.
After finishing the story, Lu Xuanping comforted his great-grandfather for a long time. It seemed that the sequelae of breaking through the inner demon barrier made this cultivator who had lived for more than a hundred years become like a mortal again. Lu Xuanping was filled with emotion.
However, the words of the great grandfather made Lu Xuanping feel more at ease. After all, if the source of the system task materials were leaked, it would be a big deal. Without him in control, it would be inevitable that some accounts would be seen by others. For safety, it was better to discuss this matter in advance. He still trusted Uncle Jiu and the great grandfather.
Across the street not far from Qingfeng Danpu, there is a three-story restaurant. This restaurant is also a well-known restaurant in the entire Taihang Waifang City. In particular, its signature drink "Jiuyun Spring Wine" is a well-known good wine, which has attracted many famous merchants.
It was lunchtime, so the restaurant was packed. All the tables from the first floor to the third floor were occupied and packed with people eating.
Occasionally, passers-by on the street outside the restaurant can smell the strong aroma of wine and food emanating from the restaurant, which is mouth-watering and very tempting.
