Taoist companions help me live forever

"Since ancient times, autumn has been sad and lonely. I say that autumn is better than spring."

Yu Xian nestled in the empty mansion, petting the little white tiger that had just begun to take the shape of a tiger. Seeing the dead leaves falling in the wind, I felt quite comfortable.

It can even be said to be extremely relaxing.

Because Chen Yi took Yulan up the mountain, it meant that no one was watching him.

Despite his tough words in front of Chen Yi, he looked like he was looking for as many women as he wanted.

But after all, he did not dare to challenge Chen Yi's patience at this time and mess around in front of her.

If she was stimulated one day, something was wrong, and she suddenly wanted to switch to the ruthless path, then he would be her first sacrifice.

This is not the world of my previous life.

No matter how scumbag the man is, as long as he doesn't break the law, at most he will be condemned on a moral level.

But in the world of immortality, a bad mood is a reason to kill everyone.

He seemed carefree, hugging him from left to right, and riding Jindan Master underneath him, but in fact, only he knew that he was walking on thin ice in his heart.

Chen Yi was much stronger than him. Once she offended her, he wouldn't even have a chance to escape.

This made him feel very insecure.

So after Chen Yi met her, his practice time almost doubled and his entertainment time was greatly reduced.

It wasn't until the Heaven-Deceiving Technique was promoted to the third level not long ago that I breathed a sigh of relief.

"But we still have to break through the Golden Core realm as soon as possible."

Yu Xian thought to himself.

Life is like a box of chocolate bars. If you don’t eat them, you won’t know what they taste like.

Originally, he had a good life as a child.

But since Chen Yi came, his life has become a mess and he has lost his control.

He seemed to act freely, but in fact, Chen Yi's mood was taken into consideration.

In the final analysis, it is still lack of strength.

Otherwise, even if Chen Yi hates her because of love, the worst they can do is break up and have a fight, and then change places and continue to be the uncle.

"Mad, I feel like I have been living in her shadow."

"Actually, she has been very good to me..."

Yu Xian's good mood did not last long. The more he thought about it, the more irritated he became, and then he rubbed the little white tiger's head vigorously.

Not to mention, the hair is soft and smooth, with a silky feel.

And probably because Magnolia has been taking care of it, it still has a faint fragrance, which is similar to the smell of Magnolia.

"Meow..."

Ah Meow made a protesting sound, with obvious dissatisfaction in a pair of topaz-like eyes.

Amiao, who has become familiar with human books, has almost become a man wearing tiger skin, and understands the difference between men and women.

After all, she is only a tigress who is almost thirty years old. She is just touched by Sister Yulan on weekdays. Why is she still being touched randomly by a grown man?

She suddenly thought of the good girl in the book who was bullied by bullies.

In her eyes, Yu Xian is worse than a bully.

But Yu Xian wouldn't care about a pet's mood, he could just play with it until it makes him happy.

It took a long time.

Ah Miao couldn't help but grit her teeth when she saw that Yu Xian hadn't stopped invading her yet.

Yu Xian felt a slight tingling in his fingers, and saw Ah Miao bite his finger with a fierce expression.

"Hey, little guy, you're still angry."

Yu Xian stirred his fingers in Ah Miao's mouth. His tongue was full of barbs and was not smooth.

"Woo!!!"

After being humiliated, Ah Meow spread out her limbs, exposing her soft belly, with a resigned attitude, as if to say, touch it, touch it.

Anyway, it feels quite comfortable to be touched.

When Yu Xian saw Ah Meow being so cooperative, he combed his fur for a while and lost interest.

"I'm so confused. What am I doing with a kitten in such a great time?"

Yu Xian left Ah Miao and walked out of the house.

Ah Miao was lying on the chair, her eyes dull, staring blankly at Yu Xian's back.

…

The alchemy Wu family, once one of the eight great families in Shangyang City, is now the head of the alchemy department of the city lord's palace.

The Alchemy Department is responsible for the assessment of alchemists, and also serves as a platform for alchemy entrustment, purchasing medicinal materials, recycling elixirs, distributing elixir benefits to public officials throughout the city, etc.

All matters related to elixirs and medicines are within the jurisdiction of the Alchemy Department.

Therefore, it is not that the alchemists on Shangyang Mountain are left unattended. On the contrary, they are under the jurisdiction of an entire department under the city lord's palace.

It's just that Chen Xiao, the city lord, was too incompetent at his job. He was deceived by his subordinates and couldn't find his sister to discuss it, so he obediently became the Clay Bodhisattva.

This day.

A group of monks in black uniforms brutally broke into the Wu family's mansion in the inner city.

In terms of living area in the inner city, the Wu family is far inferior to the previous Zhao family.

After all, the Zhao family's land was rewarded by Danyang Zhenren, and it could be hundreds of acres with just one stroke.

But the Wu family bought their own land, and every acre of land represents a huge fortune.

Therefore, the eight aristocratic families of the Wu family are very famous, and the entire mansion is just a large mansion with seven entrances and seven exits, with about three hundred people living there.

However, since the city lord wisely abolished the spiritual energy tax, the population of Wu Mansion has increased sharply, reaching about a thousand people.

When the door of Wu Mansion was kicked open, it was like a thunder, making this densely populated house lively.

"presumptuous!"

The concierge of the Wu Mansion was an old man in his sixties with gray hair. When he saw someone kicking the door of the Wu Mansion so arrogantly, he immediately clapped his chair and stood up.

A stream of black light flew out from behind him and struck at the visitor.

This person is actually a monk who is in the advanced stage of Qi training and can control weapons.

But the person who kicked the door just patted his uniform on his chest and shouted angrily.

"The Taxation Department is handling the case, and everyone else is waiting to get out of the way!"

The black light suddenly stopped, and then gradually dissipated, revealing its true appearance, which turned out to be a thick dark iron mace.

"Taxation Department?!"

The old concierge was surprised and uncertain.

"Why did you come to my Wu house?"

The Taxation Department has gained a bad reputation in the city recently. It has defeated several foundation-building forces in the name of tax inspections, and was even forced to move out of Shangyang City because of the tax levy.

There were even two Foundation-Building monks who were regarded as outstanding because of their resistance, and died on the spot. The scene was extremely tragic, and it actually made the tax department's bad reputation.

A monk with a big scab on his chin came out from the crowd, touched the black hair on his scab, smiled at the old porter and said:

"We received a report that the Wu family is suspected of tax evasion. According to the new tax code, we have the right to seize the Wu mansion. Now we want to enter the mansion to search for evidence. Please get out of the way."

The old concierge's face darkened and he shouted:

"Our ancestor is the director of the alchemy department. He can meet the city lord directly and has tax-free privileges. What qualifications does your tax department have to investigate our Wu family?

Do you think that our Wu family is one of those small families that are bullied by the bullies? Why don't you leave quickly? Otherwise, the Wu family will leave you all behind regardless of the tax department's face! "

"The tax-free privilege belongs to Director Wu, not the Wu family. Besides, can you guarantee that all members of the Wu Mansion are members of the Wu family?"

The black-haired monk shrugged and said:

"Do you, a concierge, also want to make decisions for the Wu family? Go and inform the person in charge of your family, we will wait for you for half an hour.

Half an hour later, the tax department came into the house to arrest people. "

He doesn't care about the Wu family and the Wang family. He will be a dog to whoever gives him the Foundation Establishment Pill.

No one knew how excited their dear Secretary General was that day when he placed three Foundation Building Pills under the plaque of the Taxation Department.

I thought I would never have a chance to build a foundation in this life.

But hope always comes unexpectedly.

Although he still has to work as a temporary worker for five years, although there is only one permanent quota per year, and although they have forty-eight temporary workers...

But the hope is there, and every step forward increases the possibility of success.

Maybe he worked hard and was appreciated by the manager, so he was promoted to a full-time job in advance.

Seeing the black-haired monk being so arrogant, the old concierge snorted coldly, but said nothing and turned to report.

When he arrived at the main hall, he saw the head of his family accompanying a young man and talking to a woman wearing a veil.

"Master, there is someone outside..."

The old concierge walked up to the head of the Wu family and was about to speak when he was interrupted by a wave of hands.

"My head already knows about the affairs of the Taxation Department. Our ancestors will handle it soon. You first invite all colleagues from the Taxation Department to come into the house for tea."

The head of the Wu family ordered.

The old concierge was puzzled, but he suppressed his curiosity and lowered his head and answered yes.

When the old concierge left, the head of the Wu family said with a smile:

"Mr. Yu, if you have anything to do, you can just send someone to announce it. Why bother to come to the door in person? Please wait a moment. Our ancestor will be here soon."

"Yu is entrusted by someone to be loyal to others. I don't feel safe if I don't come over to see it in person."

While Yu Xian was speaking, he looked at the woman beside him and cast a reassuring look.

Naturally, Luo Han was beside him.

This time, he invited Luo Han to rescue his fellow alchemists who were trapped in a tiger's mouth, and at the same time demonstrate the dangerous times in his daily life.

And Luo Han had long wanted to go down the mountain.

Although she is a homebody, it does not mean that she will not move her home for the rest of her life.

Occasionally she would go down the mountain to go shopping, buy things, see the scenery in the city, and relax her body and mind.

But since Danyang Zhenren left, she hasn't been out for a long time.

This time when Yu Xian invited her, she agreed after hesitating.

Anyway, if Yu Xian wanted to attack her, there was no need to trick her into going down the mountain.

Seeing that Yu Xian really brought her to the Wu family to save people, she felt excited, nervous, and a little bit excited. This was an experience she had never had before.

The Wu family has invited her to join many times, but she has always refused.

Because she understood that once she joined the Wu family, she might lose her only freedom.

Before her death, her master warned her not to join a cultivating family unless absolutely necessary, otherwise she would be reduced to a tool and dominated by others for the rest of her life.

In the eyes of the family monks, blood is the most important thing.

If you want to truly integrate into a family, you can only do it through intermarriage and the hard work of three generations.

Luo Han kept his master's teachings in mind, stayed away from family invitations, and silently refined his elixir.

This time, she actually took the initiative to enter the Wu family. How could she not be nervous?

I heard that Patriarch Wu was very powerful and his cultivation had reached the late stage of foundation building. If he tried to force himself, he and fellow Daoist Yu would probably be trapped here.

But Fellow Daoist Yu was also entrusted by him to intervene in this matter. At worst, he would just agree to the Wu family and make elixirs for the Wu family and let Fellow Daoist Yu leave.

Luo Han looked at Yu Xian's side face and silently made up his mind.

Just looking at it reminded her of the ridiculous dream she had had when she was drunk that day, and her cheeks inside the veil couldn't help but blush slightly.

Waited for a while.

An old man wearing a green robe and holding a peach wood staff entered the room angrily, with a bit of a burnt smell on his body.

Luo Han's nose moved slightly and he said to Yu Xian:

"This is Patriarch Wu. He must have had a furnace explosion. He seems to be in a bad mood."

Patriarch Wu, whose real name is Wu Fan, is the other alchemist besides Luo Han in Shangyang City who can stably refine the Foundation Establishment Pill.

It is said that the alchemy skill has reached the second level of high-grade, and is only one step away from the third level.

In addition, the Wu family is an alchemy family, and there is no shortage of miraculous elixirs on weekdays. Therefore, Patriarch Wu's cultivation level is considered very good among the family, reaching the late stage of foundation building.

As soon as he entered the house, Patriarch Wu hit the ground with his peach wood stick and coldly snorted to the head of the Wu family:

"I said that no one is allowed to disturb you when you are refining the alchemy. Jialiang, what happened that made you ignore the usual rules?

Do you know that the ingredients for this furnace of Wu Kui Dan are rare, and one failure will mean that several years of hard work will be in vain! "

Wu Jialiang quickly apologized: "Ancestor, please calm down. I have no choice but to do it. Manager Yu is here and I must see you."

At this time, Patriarch Wu finally turned his attention to Yu Xian and Luo Han.

"Manager Yu, who is this?"

His tone was a little confused, as if he didn't recognize Luo Han, but he quickly threw up his sleeves and said angrily:

"I don't know what you are doing, or are you going to come to the Wu family to cause trouble?!"

His eyes were cold, his momentum poured down like a mountain and the sea, and the air in the entire hall seemed to be stagnant.

Of course Yu Xian doesn't care.

His battle with Chen Yi was not in vain, even if he faced an ordinary Jindan Daoist, with his current strength, he would not be intimidated by mere momentum.

But at this moment, he is still playing the role of a monk in the early stages of foundation building.

According to normal strength conversion, the mana of a monk's Dantian in the late stage of foundation building is six to seven times that of the early stage of foundation building, and the strength of his spiritual consciousness is three to four times that of that in the early stage of foundation building.

The strength can be described as crushing.

Then his face gradually became ugly.

And Luo Han beside him had never even experienced a serious battle, so this moment was even more uncomfortable.

Luo Han felt that Patriarch Wu in front of her was like an active volcano that was about to erupt, causing her spiritual senses to continuously sound the alarm, and the invisible pressure hit her soul like a waterfall.

She felt out of breath.

‘This is the strength in the late stage of foundation building. It’s so powerful. No wonder my master told me not to expose my alchemy talent if I’m not completely sure. ’

‘How is Fellow Daoist Yu doing? ’

Just as Luo Han had thoughts, she felt a hand on hers.

A warm breath was sent into her body through the palm of her hand, making her feel reassured and warm unconsciously.

She looked up in surprise and saw Yu Xian, who was sweating on his forehead, giving her a forced smile, and then said calmly:

"Director Wu, do you want to take action against me for the following crime?"

Patriarch Wu's aura paused, and then slowly dissipated. He walked to the main seat in the hall and sat down, as if he were a master.

"My subordinates dare not."

Patriarch Wu said jokingly: "My subordinate was just joking with the manager. I didn't expect that the manager is so weak. He can't even withstand the momentum of his subordinates."

Yu Xian snorted coldly: "I have heard a saying, don't bully young people into poverty.

This manager is only fifty-one this year. He has broken through the realm of foundation building more than ten years ago. He is confident that he can break through to the late stage of foundation building before he is eighty years old.

I wonder at what age Director Wu broke through to the late stage of foundation building? "

Patriarch Wu's face darkened, and he abruptly changed the subject and said:

"Mr. Yu, let's get down to business."

Seeing Patriarch Wu deflated, Luo Han also became happy for some reason and looked at Yu Xian again.

'He looks so calm, I probably wouldn't know what to say right now. And he is only fifty-one years old, which means he is only two years older than me. ’

Yu Xian said: "Director Wu, I heard that two second-level alchemists, Tong Ming and Dong Yueyue, have joined the Wu family.

I suspect that these two alchemists want to evade taxes and deliberately join your Wu family. Please let them come out to confront me and complete the formalities. "

According to the new tax code, alchemists borrow underground spiritual veins when making elixirs, which consumes much more than usual practice, so they need to pay additional elixir taxes.

But a public official like Patriarch Wu who has a certain level has tax-free privileges and can also protect his family.

This was also a loophole that Yu Xian deliberately left for them.

Otherwise, it will really push people to a dead end, and Shangyang City will either become a ghost town or an empty city, and who will work for him to make money.

Patriarch Wu hesitated for a while and said:

"The two alchemists have indeed joined the Wu family, so there is no need to confront each other. I was negligent in the formalities. I will ask someone to go to the tax department to make up for it another day."

"Director Wu, do you want to help people evade taxes?!"

Yu Xian slapped the table and said angrily:

"You have to hand someone in today, or do you think my tax department's sword is no good?"

Patriarch Wu's expression also changed, and he said sadly:

"Mr. Yu, my Wu family is never at a disadvantage with a sword."

The momentum between the two parties was once again on the verge of breaking out.

Luo Han was so nervous that his palms were all sweaty. At the same time, he found that Yu Xian's hand holding hers was a little cold. Obviously, he was not as sure as he looked.

But in this way, Luo Han felt that Yu Xian sitting next to him was more real.

It turned out that he was also nervous and scared, and he was not completely sure.

But he still came...

Is it for yourself?

Luo Han started to think wildly.

Here, Patriarch Wu finally gave in under Yu Xian’s firm eyes and said:

"Okay, I'll call someone over."

After saying that, he ordered people to invite the two alchemists.

The place suddenly fell into silence, and no one spoke.

About a quarter of an hour later.

Two alchemists were brought over, a man and a woman. The man was of medium build and elegant in appearance, while the woman was wearing a red skirt, with undulating mountains on her chest, revealing a large area of ​​snow-white skin, and her face was red.

"Dan Master Tong, Dan Master Dong, this is Director Yu of the Taxation Department..."

Patriarch Wu introduced Yu Xian’s identity to the two of them and explained his purpose.

Hearing this, the two of them said in unison:

"Thank you, Mr. Yu, for your concern. We joined the Wu family voluntarily. We accidentally missed the procedures. We will go to the Taxation Department to re-apply tomorrow and pay the fine."

Yu Xian said: "You two are really voluntary? With me here, you can speak out if you have anything to say without any scruples."

Female alchemist Dong Yueyue covered her mouth and smiled: "Master Manager, can't you see that the slave family is very happy now?

The slave family lives a fulfilling life here every day. "

"The same is true for Tong."

Tong Ming, the male alchemist, continued.

Yu Xian was silent for a while, then took Luo Han and stood up. Before leaving, he did not forget to warn:

"Director Wu, with your status, it is your limit to protect two second-level alchemists. If you add more people, you will be suspected of tax evasion, and I will come again."

Patriarch Wu nodded lightly: "I don't have to worry about it, sir."

"Farewell."

Yu Xian walked out a little absentmindedly.

Seeing this look, Luo Han couldn't help but take out his hand and followed closely behind him. He just glanced at the two alchemists again before leaving.

…

Out of Wu Mansion.

"Feel sorry."

Yu Xian seemed to finally realize that he was still holding Luo Han's hand, so he quickly let go and said with a wry smile:

"If they don't cooperate, I can't take them away."

Luo Han felt his wrist loosen, but he felt a sense of loss.

She suddenly found that she felt very safe staying with Yu Xian, just like when she was with Fellow Daoist Zhao, she didn't have to worry about the random looks from outside.

She gathered her thoughts and said as usual:

“Dan Master Tong and Dan Master Dong both seem to be in good condition, and the Wu family should treat them well.

Their cultivation has not broken through to the realm of foundation building, and they are also older. Marrying a wife and having children within the Wu family is not an option. "

Yu Xian said: "I just feel like I made your trip in vain."

Luo Han smiled and said: "How can it be said that I ran away in vain? Today I saw the majesty of the steward. Even a figure like Patriarch Wu has to bow his head in front of you."

Yu Xian shook his head and laughed: "I was extremely nervous just now. Fortunately, I didn't show any ugly expression in front of you."

Luo Han thought of Yu Xian's cold hand and was too embarrassed to point it out.

"Fellow Daoist Yu, I'm a little tired, so I'll go back first."

"I'll give it to you." Yu Xian blurted out.

Luo Han felt a little flustered when he remembered what he had just felt, and quickly refused: "No, I'm not a child anymore."

She and Yu Xian had only been together for less than three months, but she didn't resent him holding her hand anymore, which scared her.

Yu Xian didn't force it, he just said:

"There is still some chaos in the city, and if you don't let me send you off, then I will send two tax collectors from the Taxation Department to accompany you, so that others will not dare to take your advice."

Luo Han paused and then nodded.

"good."

Soon, two tax collectors who had perfected their Qi skills escorted Luo Han away.

Yu Xian turned around and stepped into Wu Mansion again.

…

The backyard of Wu Mansion is where the ancestors usually live.

"Fellow Daoist Wu, I didn't expect that you are not only good at alchemy, but also quite good at acting. I admire you very much."

Yu Xian sat in front of Patriarch Wu and drank tea with him.

As a partner who planned to jointly monopolize the foundation-building pill market, Patriarch Wu hit it off as soon as Yu Xian proposed the plan.

In the face of interests, there is no need to establish any friendship at all.

Patriarch Wu laughed and poured tea for Yu Xian.

"Mr. Yu has done me a disservice, but he just lived longer and gained more life experience."

"But Mr. Yu is going to such great lengths just to put on such a show in front of that beautiful lady. I'm a little confused?"

"Puzzled?"

Yu Xian patted the peach wood staff beside Patriarch Wu and said with a smile:

"You say you are an old man, how can you understand the minds of us young people?"

"I hope we can have a happy cooperation in the future."

He raised his teacup.

Patriarch Wu also raised his tea cup and said in salute: "I will not let the manager down."

I finished the drink in one gulp, said goodbye and left.

"Tea is good tea, but it's not suitable for me. I'll leave it to Taoist Wu Wu for appreciation."

Patriarch Wu drank all the tea in the cup in one gulp.

"What do young people think? Haha, I don't accept old age."

"Come here, bring the forty-two-room concubine that our ancestor has accepted."
