While the three of them were discussing the little monkey's gains and losses on the day, another young lady wearing aqua blue shirt came over. He said hello to everyone and said that the old man wanted to see the little immortal master.

"Oh, then lead the way!" Musk could only say goodbye to everyone and follow to say hello to the old man.

Anyway, when you are a guest at someone's home, it's okay to say hello to the elders, but I was thinking that I just don't know what to do with me.

The Jia Mansion is quite large and square.

The large courtyard with more than five entrances is full of exotic flowers and plants and the fragrance of the four seasons. The layout of the courtyard is different every time you enter, which may also be related to the style of the owner.

The first entrance is where the servants live, the second is the guest room, the third is the master, the fourth is the old man, and the next five are unknown.

There are also many three-entry single-family side courtyards on both sides within the walls of this mansion, which occupy a really large area.

He was quickly taken to the main hall of the fourth courtyard. The hall door was open and the light was excellent.

Sitting in the first seat was an old man about sixty years old, with a ruddy face, strong vitality, and long black hair and beard.

The aura released slightly from this person carried a sense of oppression, which was very strong for Musk, a rookie.

He must be less than ten years old and has only reached the first level of Qi refining. This is no different from ordinary children.

I have to say that the difference is that my six senses are sharper. These are the only limited differences.

Well, my intuition told the rookie that this person was a monk. Just when these thoughts flashed through my mind, a familiar voice sounded inside.

"My dear nephew, come in and sit down."

After hearing the sound, Uncle Jia was sitting at the side, just in the blind spot of the door.

"I've met Mr. Jia, I've met Uncle Jia." Musk walked in and took a few steps forward to greet his elders respectfully.

"Come on, come on, little immortal master, come in and sit down," Old Master Jia said with a smile.

I walked in, found a seat, and sat down. As soon as I sat down, another young lady immediately brought me a cup of tea.

The tea cup is painted with purple flowers, and the white enamel base looks particularly beautiful. It looks much taller than the blue and white tea cup.

"Don't be restrained. Even if I ask you to come over and have a chat, you can call my useless son uncle. You can just call me grandpa like Baoyu and Baochai. Don't be too rude, just treat it like your own family." Mr. Jia was amiable. Some affection.

"It's better to obey my orders than to be respectful. I'll call you Grandpa Jia." Musk, a rookie, is actually not a shy person.

They all came out of nine-year compulsory education. They are a heavenly country, a land of etiquette, and treating people with courtesy are all engraved in their genes. What's more, calling Mrs. Jia grandpa doesn't hurt.

"Okay, okay, please have some tea." The old man smiled so hard that his eyes and teeth broke out in laughter.

Picking up the tea cup and opening the lid, a faint scent of tea came out. Take a small sip, although you can’t tell whether it’s good or bad. But let’s not stop saying: good tea.

"I wonder what Grandpa Jia wants to see me for?" It was mainly due to unfamiliarity. In order to make the atmosphere less awkward, Musk broke the deadlock and asked.

"There's nothing to do. I just came here to drink tea, chat, and enjoy the family life," Mrs. Jia said with a smile.

"My dear nephew, I have asked someone to make a wine steamer in the afternoon. The old carpenter and his apprentice can make it as soon as the evening. Then I will go to the old blacksmith to order two iron pots and deliver them to the winery tomorrow morning." Uncle Jia probably said Check out your plans for the afternoon.

"Well, I'll go there tomorrow morning. If there are any problems, I can make appropriate corrections and it won't be a big deal."

"I wonder what my nephew has planned for the future?" Uncle Jia asked.

"Not yet. I've been away from home for three years since I was a child. I don't know what happened at home. I'll go back to my hometown first and make plans." Musk knew he was spying on him as soon as he heard this. As for the family situation, as a time traveler, I don't know what the situation is, so I can only give vague answers.

"This is also human nature. It's time to go back for a visit and spend more time with your loved ones. I remember that my eldest sister traveled around the world in search of opportunities. At first, she would come back every year and a half, and then she would come back every three to five years, and then she would come back quickly. There has been no news for more than 20 years. Even when my mother was seriously ill, I didn’t even wait to see her for the last time. Alas!” Grandpa Jia replied with a trace of sadness and recognition in his memory.

"Yes, people should remember that home is their roots. People should never forget their roots at any time. No matter whether they are poor or rich outside, they should never forget their home. Having a home in your heart means you are not without it. It’s like duckweed, and it’s great to go home and rest for a while after being tired from wandering outside.” Musk agreed.

"You're right. If your parents are here, there is still a way to go in life. If your parents are gone, there is only a way back in life!"

"In fact, human life is actually very short. Since ancient times, it has been rare for a mortal to reach seventy. How many mortals can live peacefully and healthily to seventy?"

"But even so, if the day and night are divided in half, excluding the night, a person's life is only thirty-five years, excluding the ten years of ignorance, and then minus another ten years of studying hard, you can calculate the remaining How much time is left for the next one?"

"It is estimated that it will be less than fifteen years. This does not include the age of family happiness where people over sixty can't go anywhere."

"Including the five years of hard work required to integrate into society, the time that ordinary people can enjoy in their lifetime is only ten years." Grandpa Jia sighed.

It was originally a script about understanding the family situation, but it became a script about the three men lamenting their lives.

"You see, when people get older, they sigh that life has come to an end. In fact, those who are cultivating immortals and practicing hard don't have many years of enjoyment. They meditate in the cave every day and practice hard. It can take a few days with their eyes closed, or it can last for ten or eight years. It’s possible that some Nascent Soul Ancestors may stay in seclusion for hundreds of years.”

"There are also people who risk their lives and risk their lives in various dangerous places for cultivation resources. If they are lucky, they will get enough resources to practice for a year and a half. If they are not lucky, they will be seriously injured or die in dangerous places." Grandpa Jia sighed.

The class representative said: The life span of a mortal is about sixty years. Every time a cultivator improves his strength, his lifespan will increase by a certain amount. For example, in the Qi refining stage, each additional level will increase his lifespan by about ten years. That is to say, one hundred and fifty years old in the Qi Refining Period is considered the end of life.

Each level of the Foundation Establishment period adds about fifty years of lifespan, and the peak of the Foundation Establishment period is 300 years old when the lifespan is exhausted.

Each level of the golden elixir stage increases by about a hundred years. Six hundred years old at the peak of the golden elixir is regarded as a ruthless path.

Each level of the Nascent Soul stage increases by about 200 years, and the peak of the Nascent Soul is 1,200 years old, which is considered the mercy of heaven.

The period of tribulation is unknown.

The above is only an approximate lifespan time, and there are too many uncertain factors during this period, such as taking rare treasures or miraculous elixirs that can increase lifespan. There are also secret techniques that can increase longevity.

For example, if you fight with others and seriously damage your foundation, or you lose too much blood and essence, etc., your longevity will be reduced.

"My father is a casual cultivator with average qualifications. When he was almost 30 years old, he met Senior Brother Lin, who had been homeless since he was young, and became his apprentice. The master and apprentice traveled around, but by the time he was 60, he had not collected enough money for the Foundation Building Pill. My cultivation has been perfecting my Qi."

"I traveled all the way to this point, and then I met a hero who rescued a beauty, and then I settled down in this city." Grandpa Jia talked about his father's bloody love story.

"Ah, is there such a thing?" The rookie was very surprised by this bloody plot.

"Yes, my sister and I later came together. My father used some of the money he had saved as a casual cultivator to buy real estate and shops. He also took a share of a mine. He has settled in this city for more than fifty years."

"It's a pity that both my parents are not good at management, so they can only maintain it. Then in my generation, my sister has three spiritual roots, and I have four spiritual roots. The family can't provide many cultivation resources, and I have basically finished my fifth level of Qi refining. My sister has slightly better qualifications. , when you grow up, you can only travel around as a casual cultivator to earn resources for cultivation."

"It's a pity that I'm not good at running a business. I resold and closed some of my shops after losing money. Fortunately, although this guy has no spiritual roots, he has a certain business ability and is idle all day long. Slowly, the whole family is getting better. Isn't it possible that something will happen." Grandpa Jia gave a brief summary of the family's development history.

"Ah, you can still encounter trouble when doing business with integrity." Musk was curious.

"Yes, as the business grew bigger and bigger, the forces that targeted our small family followed." Uncle Jia was sure that his father was not telling lies.

"Ah, can they still steal it?" Musk asked puzzledly.

"This kind of thing has not happened yet, but there are just rumors. However, my grandfather can still hold on, but his life is not long. In these years, he has been practicing meditation and taking elixirs to maintain his vitality and blood. decline."

"His lifespan is estimated to be at least ten years and at most thirty years. He plans to build a foundation on his own before his lifespan is exhausted in ten years. If successful, these things will be solved." Uncle Jia explained.

"Oh, how confident are you in building a foundation by yourself?" Musk asked puzzledly.

"It's less than one level of certainty. If there is a Foundation Establishment Pill, it will be above the sixth level. I heard my immortal cultivator friends say that you can't buy it even if you have spirit stones, let alone our little family doesn't have spirit stones yet." Uncle Jia He spoke the truth self-deprecatingly.

"Oh, then how can I help? If I can help, I won't refuse." The little rookie asked curiously.

"It's nothing. Look, nephew, you taught me the recipe for distilled liquor. I dare not say that there is only one in the entire continent, at least within a few thousand miles. I am sure I will make a lot of money." ." Uncle Jia's eyes seemed to be shining when he talked about business.

"Yeah!" Musk agreed.

"My family will definitely not be able to afford such a large amount of money, and this Dongzhou is so big and has limited strength. This is my plan. I will find someone to run this business on a share basis." Uncle Jia directly expressed his thoughts. .

As soon as Musk heard this, this is a joint-stock company in future generations. It's just that it was mentioned too lightly.

"Grandpa Jia, Uncle Jia heard so much from you, this matter is simple." Musk directly proposed a new idea based on the prototype of later generations of joint-stock systems.

Responsibilities are broken down from raw materials, brewing, branding, publicity, and sales. The Jia family is only responsible for the technical process of distillation, and then everyone divides the money according to their contribution.

To put it bluntly, it is to use the interests of distilled wine as a guide to set up a large trading house and carry out in-depth cooperation with local aristocratic families to bundle interests, not only wine but also other items. Anyway, in the end, everyone will be prosperous, and everyone will suffer.

As long as the technology of distilled liquor is kept confidential, everyone will be able to make money without worries for at least a hundred years. As the saying goes, there are no eternal enemies, only eternal interests.

"Hahaha, this is a quick move." Mr. Jia patted the armrest of the chair and laughed, very happy.
