Wuliang Immortal Clan

Chapter 1 The Xu Family of Wuliang Mountain

Wuliang Mountain is located in the northeast corner of the True Yuan Cultivation World, in an inconspicuous mountain range in a small country.

This place is all black for miles around, and Wuliang Mountain is the main peak among them.

The jagged rocks are covered with wrinkles like scales, and even the midday sun disappears into the black ravines with their many gullies.

This place is the territory of the Xu family, who have reached the Foundation Establishment stage, and are the largest overlord within a hundred miles.

The tradition has been passed down for thousands of years, and the new generation uses the Xuanzhen Yuanling Method and the Mingmei Wangze Sect as their generation names.

"Consuming metal energy dispels wood energy!"

After swallowing a mouthful of Geng metal energy, the dull pain under Xu Yuanlang's ribs gradually dissipated.

"There shouldn't be any problems for a while."

He stepped out of the secret chamber, where an elderly man with white hair and a white beard stood with his eyes closed, deep in thought.

"How's Yuen Long?"

The old man was the fifth elder of the Xu family, who held a very high position. His name was Xu Zhenhao, and he was at the ninth level of Qi Refining. His Gengjin Sword Technique was superb.

"After taking the metal energy, my condition improved significantly, and the wood energy in my body subsided."

"This is only a temporary solution. You have all five elements, but the wood element is extremely strong. A single element cannot sustain life, and a single tree cannot support itself. You should refrain from taking wood-based remedies for now."

It's not too late to strengthen the other four elements before you start cultivating, since you've already reached the third level of cultivation anyway.

Our strength is sufficient for now; this problem will disappear once the five elements are balanced.

Xu Yuanlang nodded, and Xu Zhenhao raised his head and gave him a stern look. After finding that he was not impetuous, he nodded in satisfaction.

After a moment, he thought of Xu Yuanlang's talent and sighed.

"Your dedication to the Dao is extraordinary. As for your talent, you don't need to worry about it. I remember the clan leader should have some..."

"Fifth Elder!"

Xu Yuanlang suddenly spoke, and he said with some difficulty.

"The clan leader is currently in seclusion on the mountaintop, so let's not trouble him."

Xu Zhenhao paused, stroking his beard, and couldn't help but sigh.

"What a pity for you."

"I hope the clan leader recovers soon."

Xu Zhenhao nodded, then subconsciously looked towards the mountaintop.

Several years ago, the clan patriarch was seriously injured while fighting alongside a Golden Core cultivator from the Cao family, and has been recuperating in secret ever since.

"I'll head back now, Elder!"

Go!

Beside a spiritual spring at the mountaintop, the sallow-faced Xu family patriarch opened his eyes, his hands trembling as he poured out a pill and swallowed it, only then did a few traces of color return to his face.

"You should make up your mind."

Suddenly, a cold voice rang out beside him. He turned his head and saw a sinister old man with his back to him.

"Elder, they are all family members. It is too cruel to use them to refine pills."

"You're being too kind-hearted. If you can't recover your strength, how could the Ma and Li families, who are eyeing us with predatory intent, let us go?"

Even more people will die then, but using clansmen to refine elixirs can at least save 30% of the clansmen.

The First Elder's voice was calm and even. The Xu Clan Head frowned, and after a moment, shook his head.

"Forget it!"

……

"Going to the Samsung Geng Gold Mine to collect gold energy?"

Inside the Xu family's General Affairs Hall, after receiving a task sheet, a voice suddenly sounded beside him.

"Third Brother?"

Standing next to him was his own elder's grandson, a handsome young man named Xu Yuanzhen.

He was tall and slender with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, but a hint of ancestral sinisterness between his brows ruined his overall demeanor.

Xu Yuanlang quickly bowed, and Xu Yuanzhen took his task sheet.

"We're collecting gold energy at the Samsung Geng Gold Mine! I'm stationed at the Samsung Geng Gold Mine, and it's on my way, so let's go together, Third Brother."

"Thank you, Third Brother!"

"Meet at Tulongkou at the foot of the mountain in three days. Don't forget the time."

Xu Yuanzhen nodded slightly and gave a careful warning.

"yes!"

Xu Yuanzhen watched his departing figure, his eyes flickering.

"It seems this kid's natal magic weapon is not yet fully formed."

He left the General Affairs Hall muttering to himself.

There is a small courtyard in Qingzhu Garden, which was allocated to Xu Yuanlang by the Xu family.

He pushed open the courtyard gate and was astonished to find that spirit flowers were blooming on the small plot of spirit field he had carefully cultivated in the courtyard.

Seven-colored light flowed slowly on the three-foot-sized flower plate.

A faint floral fragrance filled the courtyard. Supporting the huge petals were tiny stems, delicate and fragile, so much so that one felt they might break in a gust of wind.

There are only three leaves on the rhizome, each of which is bright green.

"Seven-colored flower, come back."

At his command, the seven-colored flower disc instantly burst forth with light, forming countless tentacles that flowed back into his body through his palm.

Upon entering, the seven-colored flower immediately merged with his wood-type spiritual root, and he could even feel the seven-colored flower rapidly absorbing the free spiritual energy within his body.

This seven-colored flower was a companion spirit of his wood-type spiritual root. It only transformed into a seed and left his body after he drew qi into it, but he could still recall it at any time.

He searched through all of the Xu family's ancient books but found no such case.

Xu Yuanlang had learned the principle of "a common man is innocent, but possessing a treasure is a crime" while studying at the mountain school, so he never revealed the matter of the companion spirit to anyone.

Even if someone discovered the spirit flower in the courtyard, he brushed it off by saying it was an ordinary exotic species.

However, as he grew up, he gradually discovered the extraordinary nature of the companion spirits.

The seven-colored flower is closely related to one's strength; with each level gained, a new leaf will grow.

The first leaf accelerated his cultivation speed by ten percent.

It may not seem like much, but over time, it has made him, a cultivator with five spiritual roots, no weaker than a cultivator with four spiritual roots.

The second leaf enhanced his comprehension, allowing him to successfully master several of the Spirit Plant Master's skills.

The third leaf allows for faster refining of wood energy and faster formation of one's natal magic weapon.

Of course, this is a mixed bag.

These three functions alone have already brought him immense benefits. As far as he knows, even the second-tier magic artifacts of the Xu family are far from achieving the effects of the Seven-Colored Flower.

This collection of golden energy will take about a month, so he naturally needs to carry the seven-colored flower with him at all times.

"Uncle Twenty-Three!"

Just then, a boy's shout came from behind him. He turned around and saw a chubby boy running towards him.

"It's sensitive, what's wrong?"

"The leaves of my goldenrod are all yellow. Uncle Twenty-Three, could you take a look?"

The Golden Grass that Xu Lingmin was tending to after just having her Qi enter her body was a very basic and ordinary spiritual herb, but it was still too difficult for this child who was not even ten years old.

"Okay, I'll go check it out."

He hurried to the spirit field and saw that the leaves of the half-acre of golden grass were turning yellow and the vitality was gradually dissipating.

After examining him, his brows relaxed slightly.

"If the soil is compacted, just loosen it regularly."

Upon hearing this, Xu Lingmin grinned, her two chubby little legs almost jumping up as she hugged him tightly.

"Uncle Twenty-Three, thank you very much."
