Dao Companions Help Me Live Forever

Chapter 105: Turning Forty (Seeking Subscriptions!)

Another month passed.

The situation in Zhaojiafang Market has basically stabilized, and Yu Xian decisively returned to Zhaojia Gou to lie low.

Recently, he has been so busy with the market affairs that he has neglected his daily cultivation.

Zhaojia Gou, the ancestral mansion.

Yu Xian woke up in a daze on the luxurious bed and saw that the sun was already high outside the window. He couldn't help but rub his waist and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

"This is the life I want."

"Go to work? Ha, I will never work in this lifetime."

He casually put on a piece of clothing, yawned, got out of bed, and stumbled outside. As soon as he opened the door, a breeze with a hint of coolness blew in.

In the blink of an eye, summer turned into autumn, and another year had passed.

"Good immortal on the mountain, time doesn't know the years."

Yu Xian calculated and realized that he had already entered middle age.

"When I was thirty, I was submissive, but at forty, I will strike with all my might. Life is truly wonderful, no, it should be 'hanging on is good'."

Yu Xian quickly put this important day out of his mind.

His future is still long, and at forty, he is still young.

[Name: Yu Xian]

[Cultivation: Mid-stage Foundation Building (1546/26000)]

[Soulmate: Yulan (1/2)]

...

A boring day began with fishing.

The silver fish in the pond had entered the breeding season one after another, and the native fish had been preyed upon, causing the entire pond to emit a chill.

Yu Xian cast his fishing rod and played with a jade talisman in his hand.

This was a move he learned from the Zhao family's book collection. It was called the Soul Sensing Jade Talisman, which used his own spiritual consciousness as a mark. Once the jade talisman was destroyed, he would immediately sense it.

It is generally used as an emergency distress signal.

Moreover, the sensing range varies depending on the strength of the spiritual consciousness. It is said that it can reach the ends of the earth.

With Yu Xian's spiritual consciousness strength, the sensing distance is only five hundred miles.

Zhaojiafang Market is his money bag after all, so he still needs to keep an eye on it. Therefore, he plans to make a Soul Sensing Jade Talisman for Zhao Shiwen, just in case he encounters an opponent he can't handle...

After receiving the signal, he will decide whether to help based on the situation.

After all, he can't just give away things if he can't win.

Ding!

Ripples appeared on the water surface, indicating that a fish had taken the bait.

Yu Xian flicked his hand, and a silver knife fish flew into the air. It slipped off the hook and agilely jumped back into the water.

"You don't even give face on my birthday. It seems like you're tired of living."

Yu Xian threatened, and the silver fish that had just come off the hook hadn't sunk to the bottom of the water yet when it was pulled out by an invisible force. It then fell into the bucket by the pond.

"Since I started fishing, no fish has ever come off the hook."

At this moment, a servant cautiously walked over from outside the courtyard.

"Lord Guest, someone from the market sent two cultivators. They said they used to be your neighbors, one named Li Qianzhong and the other named Wang Juan."

"Do you want to see them?"

Yu Xian, who was still struggling with the silver fish, was taken aback for a moment. Then he remembered who Li Qianzhong and Wang Juan were. They were the siblings next door.

"Please bring them in."

"Yes."

The servant answered and retreated.

Yu Xian rubbed his chin and realized that it had been more than three months since the auction. Judging from the time, Li Qianzhong should have made a breakthrough in Foundation Building.

Now it seems that the results are not very good.

Otherwise, the Zhao family wouldn't have this attitude.

Not long after, Li Qianzhong, who looked ten years older, came with Wang Juan, holding hands and following the servant.

"Li Qianzhong, did you... fail?"

Yu Xian saw Li Qianzhong's aged appearance, his vitality depleted, and his cultivation seemed to have regressed to the seventh or eighth level of Qi Refining.

Breaking through Foundation Building is so dangerous.

Either succeed and become extraordinary, embarking on the path of immortality, or fail and most likely perish, lucky to save one's life.

This is also why many cultivators are so fanatical about Foundation Building Pills.

Li Qianzhong smiled bitterly and nodded, "I failed. I am ashamed of the Foundation Building experience that Brother Yu taught me."

Speaking of it, Brother Yu's experience in Foundation Building has been a great help to me, but unfortunately, I lacked some foundation in the end, and ultimately fell short.

Fortunately, I took some Foundation Building spiritual objects and saved my life.

Originally, I wanted to call him "senior".

But after calling him that once, I was taught a lesson by Yu Xian, who said that their relationship is purely a friendship and should not be changed because of cultivation level.

At that time, I was deeply moved by Brother Li's words.

Upon hearing this, Yu Xian's face stiffened, and he awkwardly comforted, saying, "As long as there are mountains, there will be firewood to burn. Brother Li, you are only fifty-two, and you still have a chance to start over."

It is said that since the news of his Foundation Building spread, Brother Li came to his door one day with a gift and chatted with him for a long time before hesitantly asking for advice on Foundation Building experience.

But Yu Xian didn't have much experience.

He did have a lot of experience in other areas.

He couldn't say that he had a fierce battle that night and easily made a breakthrough.

But if he didn't say anything, it would seem like he was stingy and lacked vision.

So he made up some spiritual consolation such as confidence and belief. Brother Li was deeply moved and left with gratitude.

Now it seems that his spiritual consolation didn't have much effect.

"I no longer think about Foundation Building. I came here this time to bring this to Brother Yu."

Brother Li reached into his waist pouch and pulled out a land deed.

"This is the land deed for courtyard number 45. I originally wanted to give it to you earlier, but I failed in my breakthrough and suffered a major loss of vitality. It took me two months to recover."

"Juaner told me that you and your younger siblings went to Zhaojiafang Market, so we followed."

Brother Li took a step forward and handed over the land deed with both hands.

He failed in his breakthrough, and his lifelong savings were wiped out.

With his current strength, it is not difficult to earn spirit stones, but he no longer has that ambition.

Yu Xian remained silent for a while before accepting the land deed.

Brother Li and Sister Wang were considered quite good among the scattered cultivators.

They bought a house in Shangyang City through their own efforts and even obtained Foundation Building spiritual objects on their own.

They were not without talent, nor were they lacking in effort, but reality did not give them a chance to make mistakes.

As long as they fail once, regardless of the reason, their whole life will be a failure.

"Brother Li, Sister Wang, what are your plans for the future?"

Seeing Yu Xian accepting the land deed, Brother Li and Sister Wang looked at each other, as if a huge stone had been lifted from their hearts, and they both let out a sigh of relief, feeling a bit younger in spirit and appearance.

The feeling of owing someone a favor is not pleasant.

"I have discussed with Juan'er and we have decided to return to our hometown, cultivate a few acres of land, and have a few children." Li Ge pretended to be relaxed and said, "Juan'er has been with me for so long and has suffered a lot. I have never been able to give her a complete home."

"Now is a good time for me to spend more time with her while I still have some energy."

Generally, cultivators who aspire to reach Foundation Building stage will undergo rigorous cultivation before the age of sixty. If they fail to reach Foundation Building stage and luckily survive, they will consider the matter of cultivating descendants.

For cultivators, having children at the age of sixty is not considered late.

"So that's how it is, it's really a pity. Originally, I had a position here that would be suitable for you, Li Ge, and the compensation is not bad either. Even if you don't consider further breakthroughs in Foundation Building, it would still be a good way to enjoy your later years."

Yu Xian had a good impression of Li Ge and his wife.

Li Ge was introverted but had a grateful nature, and Wang Jie was even more so. Otherwise, Yu Xian would not have allowed Yulan to befriend her.

Most importantly, Li Ge had impressive strength.

He was a ruthless character who accumulated thousands of spirit stones by hunting demons alone in the Wan Yao Mountain Range without stealing or robbing.

It's really a pity to just go home and farm.

Li Ge was about to shake his head and refuse, but Wang Jie, who was beside him, suddenly brightened up.

"Yu Zhen Shi, are you telling the truth? I wonder what position it is?"

"Deputy captain of the city's guard team, dealing with troublesome cultivators on a daily basis and maintaining order in the city is all you need to do." Yu Xian truthfully replied, "Wang Jie can also open a small shop in the city with Wang Ge, the rent is very cheap now that the city is newly established."

Li Ge was about to refuse, but was stopped by Wang Jie, who glared at him fiercely.

"Yu Zhen Shi is taking care of us, don't underestimate it. Do you really think that farming a few acres of land can support our future big family?"

After speaking, Wang Jie happily said to Yu Xian:

"Yu Zhen Shi, on behalf of Li Ge, thank you. If there is anything, just arrange for him to do it. Don't be fooled by his appearance of an old man, he is actually very strong."

She patted Li Ge's back a few times, making a dull sound like hitting an iron block.

Li Ge sighed helplessly, bowed to Yu Xian, and said seriously:

"Brother Yu, I entrust my life to you."

Yu Xian smiled and said, "You're exaggerating. It's just an ordinary job, it won't cost your life."

"I will write a letter for you to take to Zhao Shiwen, the head of the city, and she will arrange things for you."

When Li Ge and Wang Jie left with the letter, Yu Xian did not investigate whether they came to repay a debt or if they had heard some rumors and intentionally sought refuge.

He just wanted to do it, so he did.

Being happy is the most important thing in life.
