Chapter 723 Old Friend's Old Hair

Lingxu Xiuxian City, the center of the city is the guard post of Lingxu Xianmen in Xiuxian City.

Before Lingxu Sect unified Xianyuan Realm, the guard post of Lingxu Xiuxian City was generally guarded by a cultivator in the early stage of foundation building, and the kind of life span was almost over.

Mainly in Lingxu Xiuxian City, most of them are casual cultivators, and casual cultivators are basically cultivators in the Qi Refining Stage. It is not that casual cultivators cannot build a foundation, but casual cultivators generally choose to join the immortal sects after building a foundation to obtain immortal resources at the foundation building level.

Therefore, only one cultivator in the early stage of foundation building is needed to stabilize a Xiuxian city, unless the demon sect comes to attack.

But with the birth of the God of Transformation in Lingxu Sect, the righteous sects of the entire Xianyuan Realm were unified. Lingxu Xiuxian City, as a subordinate Xiuxian city of Lingxu Xianmen, is close to the mountain gate of Lingxu Xianmen. In this way, Lingxu Xiuxian City becomes very important.

It not only attracts casual cultivators from various domains, but also the foundation-building cultivators from the righteous sects of various domains will come to Lingxu Xiuxian City to open shops and do business, just to be closer to Lingxu Xianmen.

In general, Lingxu Xiuxian City has risen with the integration of the entire righteous sect by Lingxu Xianmen.

The more central it is, the higher the status of the cultivators living there.

Over the years, Lingxu Xiuxian City has undergone some planning. The most central is of course the location of the foundation-building garrison of Lingxu Xianmen, and there are some disciples of Lingxu Xianmen, representing the majesty of Lingxu Xianmen. At this time, the foundation-building garrison is no longer a cultivator at the initial stage of foundation-building, but a cultivator at the ninth level of foundation-building.

And the first, second, third, and fourth rings were planned outward from the center, forming a ring and a street around the foundation-building garrison.

The immortal cultivators living in the Second Ring Street are basically the foundation-building immortal cultivators or their descendants from the other five sects of the righteous way, or the immortal cultivators who have Lingxu Xianmen as their backer. In fact, most of these immortal cultivators are not casual cultivators, but descendants of the great figures of the righteous sects.

This is the case with the descendants of the legacy.

In the Second Ring Street, there are two families who were originally casual cultivators. However, although these two families were casual cultivators, they also had the support of a refiner from the Refining Hall of Lingxu Xianmen, and that refiner was of noble status and was the direct disciple of the master of the Refining Hall.

Even though the refiner of the Refining Hall rarely came to Lingxu Xiuxian City, and it was said that he had not been in Lingxu Xianmen in recent years, no one dared to exclude the casual cultivator families of these two families from the Second Ring Street.

On the contrary, even the 9th-level foundation-building immortal cultivator who guarded Lingxu Xiuxian City was quite polite to these two families.

This kind of courtesy made the newly settled foundation-building families in the other Second Ring Street also polite to these two families and never take the initiative to provoke them.

These two families are the Yu Mansion and the Gu Mansion.

In fact, these two families are not considered as independent cultivation families. The sons of Old Master Gu and Old Master Yu are both foundation-building cultivators of Lingxu Xianmen, and some other children have also entered Lingxu Xianmen. In this way, it seems that they are the families of Lingxu Xianmen in Lingxu Xiuxian City.

Therefore, in Lingxu Xiuxian City, no one really regards them as independent cultivators, but as immortal families like themselves.

This makes other independent cultivators in Lingxu Xiuxian City extremely envious, but they can't envy it.

The Yu Mansion is on the Second Ring Street. There is a large mansion with five entrances. There are hundreds of people from four generations of the Yu Mansion living in the mansion, and there are hundreds of servants and hired workers, totaling more than 300 people.

At this time, in the Yu Mansion's special training square, the fourth generation of Yu Mansion's young men were practicing magic in the training square, and the Yu Mansion specially invited a late-stage Qi Refining Immortal Cultivator to come and teach.

At this time, a 10-year-old boy came out from the round arch. The boy was wearing a first-level low-level robe, with red mouth and white teeth, and his temperament was very outstanding.

His arrival naturally attracted the attention of these Yu Mansion boys in the training square, as well as the late-stage Qi Refining Instructor.

"Gu Yan, why are you here?" The Yu family's young man naturally knew this temperamental boy and hurriedly greeted him.

The late-stage Qi Refining Instructor also bowed to the boy and greeted him: "Young Master Gu."

This Gu Yan is the fourth generation of the Gu family. He looks smart and clever, and has a good talent for cultivation. Therefore, he is deeply loved by Old Master Gu, and he will take him wherever he goes.

His appearance means that Old Master Gu has come to Yu Mansion.

As expected, Gu Yan said, "I came here with my great grandfather. Qingzhang, let's go. Let's continue to spar. I was careless last time. This time, I will definitely beat you."

The young man he called Qingzhang was the same age as him. Hearing this, he smiled and said, "Okay, let's go to the other courtyard."

Yu Qingzhang said something to the late Qi training instructor, and then took Gu Yan away.

The two young men came to the other courtyard and started to fight. Yu Qingzhang smiled and said, "Come on, Gu Yan, let me see if your magic has improved during this period of time?"

Gu Yan snorted, "Then you'll have to wait and see."

After speaking, the aura of the second level of chain Qi on Gu Yan's body emanated, and he instantly cast a spell to attack Yu Qingzhang.

"Come on!" Yu Qingzhang shouted, and also cast a spell to attack Gu Yan.

The two were both at the second level of Qi Refining. They fought back and forth, and it was hard to tell who was the winner. After fighting for hundreds of rounds, neither of them could decide the winner. Yu Qingzhang felt that the spiritual energy in his Dantian was seriously depleted, and hurriedly said, "Gu Yan, stop, how about we call it a draw this time?"

Gu Yan heard this and also felt that the spiritual energy in his Dantian was seriously depleted. If he continued to fight with Yu Qingzhang, it would be hard to tell who was the winner, so he stopped and said, "Okay, let's call it a draw this time. I will definitely beat you next time."

"Then I'll wait." Yu Qingzhang retracted the spell and said with sweat dripping down his face.

"By the way, Qingzhang, did your grandpa Yu Shan tell you that after you break through the 4th level of Qi Refining, he will take you to Lingxu Xianmen to practice?" Gu Yan asked.

Yu Qingzhang nodded and said, "That's what Grandpa Yu Shan sent back. He said that when I reach the 4th level of Qi Refining, he will take me to Lingxu Xianmen to practice. Gu Yan, you will go too, right? Then we will practice together in Lingxu Xianmen, so you can have a companion."

Gu Yan nodded and said, "Of course I will go. Grandpa Gu Xi told me a long time ago."

At this point, Gu Yan said again, "Qingzhang, let's go, let's go to his grandfather."

"Okay."

Yu Qingzhang nodded, and then followed Gu Xi to the courtyard where Yu's old grandfather Yu Hai lived. The courtyard where Yu's old grandfather Yu Hai lived was in the third courtyard.

As for the two courtyards at the deepest, the young men and women of the Yu family lived.

When they came to the courtyard in the third courtyard, they saw two gray-haired old men lying on two lounge chairs in the courtyard, with a tea table in the middle, chatting and drinking tea.

These two gray-haired old men, one is Gu Mingsheng, the old man of the Gu family, and the other is Yu Hai, the old man of the Yu family.

Both of them are close to 140 years old.

Moreover, Gu Mingsheng, the old man of the Gu family, used to be an adventurer in the wild. He lost one arm by a wild beast. His immortal path was defective, and he stopped practicing at the late stage of Qi Refining, and there was no hope of building a foundation.

Yu Hai, the old man of the Yu family, had average immortal cultivation qualifications and was busy with business in his early years. Although he had abundant cultivation resources, he still had no hope of building a foundation.

The maximum lifespan of a cultivator in the Qi Refining period is 150 years old, and it may be a few years later, but it will not be too outrageous.

Over the years, the younger generations of the Yu and Gu families can feel that the two old men, Yu and Gu, are aging fast.

It is estimated that they will not live for many years and will return to heaven and earth.

The younger generations of the Yu family and the Gu family also know that the two people that Grandpa Yu, Grandpa Gu, and Grandma Gu most want to see are the weapon refiner couple of Lingxu Xianmen.

However, Lingxu Xianmen is a big immortal gate, and it is not easy for the immortals inside to come down to the Xiuxian City below. Moreover, according to the second-generation descendants Gu Xi and Yu Shan in Lingxu Xianmen, they also said that the senior Han couple is no longer in Lingxu Xianmen, and no one knows where they have gone.

Perhaps, Grandpa Yu and Grandpa Gu will never see the senior Han couple until they die.

"Great grandfather, great grandfather."

Yu Qingzhang and Gu Yan ran to Yu Hai and Gu Mingsheng and bowed respectfully.

Yu Hai looked old, lying on a recliner, looking at his favorite great-grandson Yu Qingzhang, and fellow Taoist Gu Mingsheng's favorite great-grandson Gu Yan, and said lovingly: "So it's Qingzhang and Xiaoyan, who will win this time?"

"It should be your Qingzhang who won?" Gu Mingsheng said with a smile while lying on a recliner on the other side.

Gu Yan snorted when he heard it: "Grandpa, why do you boost others' ambitions and destroy your own prestige? I didn't lose this time. Qingzhang, tell me, Grandpa, did I lose?"

Yu Qingzhang laughed and said: "Grandpa Gu, this time, I couldn't beat Gu Yan, Gu Yan and I tied."

Yu Hai said: "Gu Yan is also good, you should practice well, and wait a few years, I will send you to Lingxu Xianmen to practice, maybe you can become a foundation-building little real person of Lingxu Xianmen like your Grandpa Yu Shan and Grandpa Gu Xi."

"Yes, Grandpa, Zhang'er will definitely practice well!" Yu Qingzhang immediately replied obediently.

"Grandpa Yu, Qingzhang and I are not satisfied with the foundation-building stage. We want to become Jindan Zhenren, like Senior Han." Gu Yan said his dream loudly.

"Okay, you are all great. The Yu family and the Gu family depend on you." Yu Hai laughed when he heard what Gu Yan said.

"Okay, you two go play nearby. I have something to say to your Grandpa Yu." Gu Mingsheng waved to Gu Yan and Yu Qingzhang.

Yu Qingzhang and Gu Yan immediately went to play obediently and stopped disturbing the conversation between Gu Mingsheng and Yu Hai.

"Alas, Daoist Yu, I may not have many years left." Gu Mingsheng sighed.

Hearing this, Yu Hai turned his head and looked at Gu Mingsheng quietly, saying: "Time flies so fast. In a blink of an eye, we are all old and dying of old age."

Gu Mingsheng's voice did not express joy or sadness, but he could hear the sigh of time. He said: "Yes, time flies so fast. In a blink of an eye, we are all almost 140 years old."

"Your hair is all white, and your cultivation has begun to decline. This is a sign that the end is approaching."

"The last time I saw Fellow Daoist Han was 22 years ago. Do you think we can survive the next 22 years? Can we see Fellow Daoist Han again?"

After hearing what Gu Mingsheng said, Yu Hai fell silent. His mind also showed the face of his boss. That boss was a Jindan Zhenren, and Jindan Zhenren could live for 500 years. 20 years is just a blink of an eye for Jindan Zhenren, but for him and Gu Mingsheng, they are already close to 140 years old and can only last for 10 years at most.

If we have to wait for more than 20 years to see the Dong family, they may have passed away.

"Maybe it's like this on the road to immortality. If you can't keep improving, you will never see the backs of those who are making progress. The Dong family is extremely talented. He was already a golden elixir 22 years ago. Maybe when we see him again, he has already broken through the Nascent Soul stage."

"It's also possible that there is no chance to see the Dong family again."

Yu Hai also sighed. In the past 10 years, they felt that their health was getting worse and worse. They felt that their end was approaching. The two old men gathered together from time to time to recall the past. To be honest, they had many children and grandchildren in their lifetime. Some of their family members successfully worshipped Lingxu Xianmen and became the foundation-building little immortals of Lingxu Xianmen. Since then, the family has gotten rid of the status of casual cultivators.

But, there are still regrets after all. The regret is that they can't see the immortal Han who gave them all this.

The Taoist friend that Gu Mingsheng called in the past, Yu Hai called the host.

"If I can see the host again at this moment, it will be worth it if I die now, and there will be no regrets."

Yu Hai sighed for a long time and said.

Gu Mingsheng also nodded in agreement and said, "I miss fellow Daoist Han too."

"People really miss the past more easily as they get older. Fellow Daoist Yu, let's hold on for a few more years and see if we can hold on until Senior Han comes back."

"Grandpa, Gu Yan and I will go to find my younger brother." Yu Qingzhang shouted at this time.

Yu Hai waved and let them go.

After they left, only the two old men were left in the courtyard. The breeze blew gently through the leaves in the courtyard, rustling, and the two old men looked at the sky quietly.

The two old men's eyes were cloudy. They looked at the sky and felt that the sunlight in the sky was hazy. The clouds turned into different shapes. As they looked, they saw two figures in the air. These two figures were stepping on a flying boat.

Looking at their faces again, they slowly changed and became the same as their boss, their friend Han.

"Friend Yu, am I seeing things?" Gu Mingsheng half sat up, rubbed his cloudy eyes, and turned to look at Yu Hai.

Yu Hai nodded and said, "I must be seeing things. Two days ago, Gu Xi and Yu Shan sent a message back saying that the cave where the Dong family lived was still closed."

"That's true. I'm probably tired. I'll take a rest. Fellow Daoist Yu, don't make any noise. I've been in poor health recently and I've been sleeping lightly." Gu Mingsheng looked at the illusory figure in the air and slowly closed his eyes. After just a moment, there was a light snoring sound.

Yu Hai also felt that he was indeed seeing things. He also slowly closed his eyes and prepared to take a rest.

In the air, Wu Tao and Chen Yao were driving the flying wave boat. They set out from Lingxu Xianmen early this morning. According to the route from Lingxu Xianmen to Lingxu Xiuxian City, and with the speed of their flying wave boat, they had already arrived at Lingxu Xiuxian City after just a little while.

Because of their identity, they came to Lingxu Xiuxian City to conceal their identities and did not tell anyone. They did not intend to swagger to meet Yu Hai and Gu Mingsheng as old friends.

Therefore, they planned to go directly to Yu Mansion and Gu Mansion to meet these old friends.

With Wu Tao's ninth-level Jindan cultivation, he hid his body and no one in Lingxu Xiuxian City could find him.

When Wu Tao drove the Feilang Boat to the sky above Yu Mansion, he saw the two old men in the courtyard.

"I haven't seen you for 22 years, and my old friend has turned gray." Wu Tao sighed in his heart.
