The Demon Lord of the Outside World
Chapter 9: Essentials for spiritual practice: wealth, companions, Dharma, and place
It was dark at night, and Xu Wang walked out of the wine shop, still carrying the unique aroma of Ganlai wine. It was obvious that he had been toasting with his uncle for a while.
Just now in the wine shop, Xu Wang and his uncle Xu Cun had reached a conclusion in their negotiations. The two had different things in mind. Although they were respectful to each other on the surface, they were just seeking their own interests.
What Xu Cun wanted was the inheritance left by Xu Wang's parents. The details of this inheritance were two hotels and dozens of acres of land in the Xu family's territory, as well as the ownership of a Qidan Teng cultivation room.
The previous ones can be said to be just some secular assets, but the last Qidan Teng cultivation room is the top priority for Xu Cun.
Qidan Teng, the basic material of the Xu family, is also the feeding material for several first-level basic Gu worms of the Xu family. The Qidong Gu in Xu Wang's hand is usually fed by the Qidan fruit produced by Qidan Teng, and other parts of Qidan Teng can also be used as feeding materials for other Gu worms.
Gu worms are the source of Gu Master's extraordinary power. They must be fed frequently to maintain vitality. If they are not fed for a long time, they will naturally weaken or even starve to death. The ownership of a Qi Dan Teng cultivation room means the control of a production line of necessities that the Xu family will never have trouble selling. Simply put, it is a goose that keeps laying golden eggs.
So Xu Cun had been constantly testing Xu Wang before, with the purpose of keeping these assets in his own hands. What he said about considering his nephew and teaching you how to operate is just to take them for himself. If Xu Wang had not shown from the beginning that his ambition was to practice rather than operate, it is estimated that this uncle would have already started to use means to take the inheritance.
For this situation, Xu Wang's choice is very simple.
Since you want it, I will not fight for it. I will give it to you. Whether it is a hotel or a field, or even Qi Dan Teng, I will give it to you. I only want to practice, and before I turn three, you have to provide me with the materials for my practice.
This is not a complete abandonment, but also an exchange. For Xu Wang, this inheritance is an industry that is difficult to take away, that is, real estate. In the long run, the value of these inheritances far exceeds the value of training Xu Wang to the third level, which is why Xu Cun agreed.
But the premise is, in the long run.
In terms of the main plot time of the original work, Fang Yuan took less than fifty or sixty years from rebirth to becoming a Venerable, and a series of major events that occurred before Fang Yuan became a Venerable took place much earlier. Before that, the Xu family might have been destroyed by the aftermath of a certain Gu Immortal confrontation in the tide of the great era.
Xu Wang does not have so much time to wait for real estate to become available resources. What he needs is resources that can be used directly, so as to make himself as fat as possible.
Wealth, friends, Dharma and land are essential for long-term cultivation. Now that he can't make long-term plans, what Xu Wang can do is to collect as much money as possible and use it to quickly expand himself.
In the night, Xu Wang walked alone and gradually disappeared in the mist in the forest at night.
——
Another week later, in the Xu family martial arts arena, many young Gu Masters were sparring with each other on the martial arts arena.
Since all the new Gu Masters had refined the pneumatic Gu, the practical teaching gradually changed from daily use of pneumatic Gu to actual combat in the arena. Obviously, the Xu family also hoped to have Gu Masters who were good at actual combat, rather than those who put all their minds on making money, so they started to cultivate the thinking mode of new Gu Masters.
On the arena, Xu Wang quickly changed his pace and approached the opponent in front of him. Every time, he could dodge sideways before the opponent shot the gas bullet. After several times, he even came to the opponent without using the Gu worm and sent him out of the arena with a grab.
"Huh... I can't beat you at all. Xu Wang, you should be the best boxer in this class."
The defeated opponent did not hate Xu Wang, but instead sighed and praised him. This is the use of Xu Wang's resume character setting.
Compared to losing to a classmate who slacks off every day like me, losing to a sports student is more acceptable and can bring me better psychological comfort.
"It's just a matter of practice. You will be able to do it sooner or later."
Xu Wang bowed slightly in return, and this scene was also seen by the instructors in the distance and some family elders who came to inspect.
"This boy is a decent person."
"And he also works hard in cultivation. I hope he can do something in the future to fight for the family."
The simple exchange also means that Xu Wang's personality has been completely established. Now in the Xu family, as long as Xu Wang is mentioned, everyone thinks of a Gu Master who works hard every day and doesn't ask about other things. This means that some things that happen to Xu Wang that would happen to a [hardworking Gu Master] will be accepted, and some things that happen to [scheming and cunning] Gu Masters will be assumed to have nothing to do with Xu Wang.
Looking back at Xu Wang who just finished the competition, he simply wiped the sweat off his face, then found a seat to sit down, took out the Yuan Stone and started practicing.
Since becoming a Gu Master, Xu Wang has never missed a single drop in his daily practice, and his Yuanshi consumption is naturally quite fast. At the beginning, Xu Wang has basically used up the Yuanshi given by Xu Liuyan and the Yuanshi issued by the Xu family every week. This is the result of him not buying any items related to Gu worms.
[Sure enough, among wealth, friends, law and land, wealth comes first]
Just thinking about this, Xu Wang was distracted by some noisy arguments. When he opened his eyes and looked, he found that two groups of people were arguing, and their voices gradually became louder.
In the middle of one of the groups, Xu Wenshuo stood with a stern face. It was obvious that this group of people supported him, and the group that could confront a small group was naturally another small group at the same level. After Xu Wang looked over, it was indeed a group centered on Xu Yichen.
After listening carefully, Xu Wang also understood the reason for the matter. In fact, it was extremely simple-it had been about half a month since this group of Xu family Gu Masters had awakened. Growth and competition are the basics of living things, and people will add something to these.
In short, someone talked about cultivation during a casual chat, and then talked about when to be promoted, and then naturally talked about who would be promoted first.
In this way, a contradiction appeared. First is a sensitive word for the group. The two most promising Xu family geniuses are naturally the choices supported by the most people. Of course, there will be differences when there are choices, not to mention that geniuses are more self-respecting than ordinary people.
The current situation is that the supporters of Xu Wenshuo and Xu Yichen began to argue, refute, and even bet.
Xu Wang didn't care about this kind of thing, but some words in the debate still attracted his attention.
"I think Xu Wang may be the first to be promoted."
Someone said something that was recognized by many people. Now many people's eyes naturally looked for Xu Wang.
Seeing that he was pushed to the topic point all of a sudden, and even Xu Wenshuo stared at him fiercely, Xu Wang just closed his eyes and pretended not to know, and continued to pretend to practice.
[It seems that it is still too obvious. ]
Thinking like this, Xu Wang decided on his character performance in the future. He needed to perform well, but he couldn't compete with geniuses for attention. It was better to let others take the spotlight.
Soon another day passed.
After returning to his residence, Xu Wang saw the bag on the table and the note next to it at first glance.
After briefly reading the content of the note, Xu Wang lit a candle and burned the note to ashes, and then opened the bag.
I said before that the Yuanshi and resources were about to run out, and it's here.
