Chapter 7 The Ge Family
The Ge family is on the east side of Sangji City, and one-quarter of the entire Sangji City is within the Ge family's influence. The master and apprentice hired a carriage, and it took a day to walk from Xicheng to Dongcheng.
The old Taoist Yunshan handed the Zhenzhi recommendation letter to the guard of the Ge family. Soon a man dressed in a servant came out to welcome the master and apprentice in. He walked from the gate to the backyard of the Ge Mansion for half an hour. The man asked their master and apprentice to wait in the living room for tea, and turned around and went to the backyard.
There was an extremely elegant garden in the backyard of Gefu. An old man with white hair and beard was sitting on the soft collapse and listening to what a middle-aged man said. The servant walked into the garden, walked quickly to the old man, leaned over and whispered in the old man's ear, "Ancestor, this is the letter from above." As he said that, he handed the letter to the old man.
The old man took it and looked carefully at the secret obscured letter. He confirmed that it was the secret note of Shangqingshan. He waved his hand to ask the servant to retreat. Then he slowly opened the letter and looked at it. He handed the letter to the middle-aged man who was standing in front of him, and said, "The person recommended by Taoist Master Zhenzhi, the seventh level of Qi Refining, will probably be able to break through to the eighth level of Qi Refining soon. It is good. You can go to receive it later and arrange it according to the standards of the previous guest officials."
The middle-aged man said, "Yes. Does my father have any instructions?"
The old man thought for a while and said, "No, you can follow the arrangements we discussed and recruit people as soon as possible. We cannot escape the major change in Sangji City in ten years, and there is a little more power. Whether we can continue the inheritance of my Ge family in this change depends on how we have prepared in the past few years."
The middle-aged man sighed and asked, "My father, is there really no way to avoid it?"
The old man looked up at his son, smiled helplessly, and said, "Teng'er, this is not something that our Ge family can decide, we can't escape. If we win, our Ge family will definitely go to the next level and control the entire Sangji City; if we lose, everything will disappear. Survival of the world, our Ge family will never retreat, you can arrange it."
The middle-aged man saluted the old man and said, "Yes, my father, let's make arrangements now." Then he walked out.
Master Yunshan’s disciple sat in the living room for a stick of incense, and saw a middle-aged man walking in from outside. He clasped his fists from afar and smiled: “Master Yunshan, Master Yunshan is here to welcome him later, I hope you will forgive me.”
The old Taoist Yunshan stood up, gave a Taoist tribute with one hand, and smiled and said, "I dare not, the head of the Ge family is polite." The old Taoist Yunshan looked at Ge Teng carefully. Like him, this person was also a cultivator at the seventh level of Qi refining, and he was also at the seventh level of Great Perfection. He could break through to the eighth level at any time.
Ge Teng entered the living room and separated from the old Taoist Yunshan and took a seat again. Zhang Zhexue stood obediently behind the old Taoist Yunshan. Although the old Taoist Yunshan never taught him how to be an apprentice, he had watched a lot of movies and TV in his previous life, so he knew how to be a polite apprentice.
Ge Teng first hugged the old Taoist Yunshan, then smiled and said, "Master Yunshan, we are all practitioners, so we don't need those ordinary etiquettes. Let's just talk straight to the point."
The old Taoist Yunshan smiled and said, "The Lord of the Ge family does not need to be polite, just tell me."
Ge Teng smiled and said, "That's good. After reading the recommendation letter from Taoist Master Zhenzhi, it is a blessing for my Ge family to be my Ge family. Taoist Master Don't worry, the Ge family is never stingy with the guests. In addition to the thirty crystal stones per month, there will be no shortage of elixirs for various practices. If the Taoist Master has other needs, even if he says it, he will definitely help the Taoist Master raise it within the scope of his ability."
"You are polite to the head of the Ge family. You will inevitably disturb the head of the family in the future. The old Taoist has been exploring alone since his practice. I hope to communicate more with the head of the Ge family in the future. I hope the head of the Ge family will give you advice."
"I dare not give advice. I also want to communicate more with Taoist priests and learn from each other." Ge Teng was very polite to the old Taoist Yunshan, because there were very few practitioners in this country dominated by mortals. As for Sangji City, there were only a hundred practitioners among the millions of people. This is because Ge, Chen, and Zhou Sanjia are representatives of the three major forces in the cultivation world. There are so many practitioners. You should know that these three aristocratic families have been controlling Sangji City for more than 500 years. Compared with the billions of people in the world, it is rare to say that people who have the opportunity to enter this cultivation world.
The Ge family is now facing the great changes in Sangji City, and the demand for practitioners is better. Every time an additional person is added, it will bring some opportunities for survival to the Ge family. Therefore, no matter how deep the cultivation of the practitioners who come to surrender, the Ge family will welcome them with both hands. What's more, the cultivation of the old Taoist Yunshan is already at the seventh level of Qi refining, and he is a master who can break through to the eighth level at any time. At the same time, the old Taoist Yunshan is an outer disciple recommended by Shangqing Mountain, so the trust is naturally not comparable to that of the casual cultivator. Therefore, Ge Teng did not show the attitude of a head of the family, but communicated with the old Taoist Yunshan in the attitude of a fellow Taoist.
The old Taoist Yunshan bowed and said, "He is polite to the Lord of the Ge family. Since I entered the world of cultivation, I have been practicing alone. I have never had any guidance from my predecessors, nor did I communicate with my fellow teachers. Therefore, I have been stagnant on the seventh level of Qi refining for seven or eight years. This time I went down the mountain to find opportunities, hoping to break through the bottleneck and go further. I can get the recommendation of Master Zhenzhi to enter the Ge family. I think it is the old Taoist's opportunity to come."
Ge Teng picked up the teacup and said, "Tao Master, please give me tea." After taking a sip of tea, Ge Teng continued, "If you talk about opportunities, it is nothing more than guidance from experts, communication with colleagues and magic medicines, etc. My Ge family dare not say guidance from Taoist priest, but communication with colleagues and some elixirs can still be done." As he said that, he took out a jade token from his arms and put his palms on it, and the jade token slowly floated up and slowly floated towards the old Taoist Yunshan.
"Master Taoist, this is the token of my Guest Lord Ge family. Please keep it."
The old Taoist Yunshan took the jade token and saw that the jade token was two inches in size. It was carved with a ferocious roaring leopard head on the front, and the six big words "Elder Ge's Guest" were carved on the back. The old Taoist Yunshan inputted a little true essence into the jade token, and the jade token lit up and emitted a white light. A line of words flowed in the white light, but it was the eight words "Elder Ge's Guest, unobstructed in the passage".
Ge Teng smiled and said, "The Taoist Master can use this token to be used without any obstacles except for the forbidden areas of the Ge family. The Taoist Master can borrow all the classics from my Ge family's Sutra Collection Pavilion with this card. I believe it can give the Taoist Master a lot of reference."
The old Taoist Yunshan put the jade plaque in his arms and said, "Thank you so much for the head of the family. Since the old Taoist is already a guest minister of the Ge family, the head of the family will have instructions, the old Taoist will naturally do his best to relieve the worries of the head of the family and advance and retreat with the Ge family."
Ge Teng smiled and said, "There will naturally be a place where the Taoist priest will be troubled in the future. From Senior Brother Zhenzhi, I learned that the Taoist priest is already seventh-level perfection. Just like the Taoist priest, I just want to break through the eighth level. Therefore, a few days ago, I asked the alchemist from Shangqingshan to help me refine a few Shangqing Yuanqi pills. It is a magic medicine for the Qi refining layer to break through the bottleneck. Today I will give one to the Taoist priest. I hope the Taoist priest can break through to the eighth level of Qi refining in a short period of time." After saying that, a five finger was opened, and a jade bottle appeared in my hand, and then the jade bottle came out and flew towards the old Taoist Yunshan.
Zhang Zhexue was surprised to see a jade bottle appear when a finger of the Gut Teng was opened. Although he often saw the old Taoist Yunshan who could always take out all kinds of things from his arms like a dormitory, he had never seen the old Taoist Yunshan who could open his hands and appear like a kud Teng. I think the treasure storage treasure of the Gut Teng is different from the old Taoist Yunshan. He knew that there was a storage bag in the arms of the old Taoist Yunshan, but he didn't know what the treasure storage treasure of the Gut Teng looked like, and he thought it was different from the old Taoist Yunshan.
What Master Yunshan lacks the most now is the opportunity to break through the bottleneck, and the Shangqing Yuanqi Pill mentioned by Ge Teng is his most realistic and direct opportunity. How can he not be overjoyed? Master Yunshan couldn't wait for the jade bottle to fly slowly towards him, and hurriedly waved his hand. The jade bottle took it into his hand and opened the bottle cap. A strong fragrance of medicine overflowed.
Shangqing Mountain is the first immortal cultivation sect in the Eastern Qin Kingdom, and the elixirs refined are naturally extraordinary. The old Taoist Yunshan only inhaled a little bit of medicine fragrance, and the qi and blood were restless. He had been stagnant in the seventh level of Qi refining for nearly eight years, and he was constantly practicing, waiting for an opportunity to accumulate strength. He had never taken any elixirs before, so just a little bit of medicine fragrance could stimulate his qi and blood to be restless, and there were signs of breakthroughs.
The old Taoist Yunshan was overjoyed, regulated his breathing and suppressed his restless qi and blood, and quickly capped the jade bottle and put it in his arms. At this time, he was not in the mood to chat with Ge Teng again, and wanted to take Shangqing Yuanqi Pill here and break through immediately. He stood up and said to Ge Teng Heshi: "Thank you for the medicine from the head of the family. I don't know if the head of the family has a free quiet room to give the old Taoist. The old Taoist will try to break through the bottleneck."
Seeing that the old Taoist Yunshan was so anxious, Ge Teng was not only secretly funny. But he could also understand the old Taoist Yunshan's mood. No matter who had been stagnant at the bottleneck of cultivation for several years, he would not waste a moment when the opportunity came.
"Master, Ge wants to say something to the Taoist priest, and I hope the Taoist priest will not blame him."
The old Taoist Yunshan said, "Even if the head of the family says, how dare the old Taoist blame him?"
Ge Teng coughed lightly and said, "Ge believes that the more you break through the bottleneck, the more you should not be impatient. Instead, you should adjust your mind to the best state and then break through in one fell swoop. Otherwise, there will be a risk of getting possessed. I don't know what you think?"
