Chapter 488: Peak of the Middle Jindan Period

"Okay, okay, my son finally built his foundation."

Looking at Xu Chengzhi, Xu Changshou smiled with relief.

"Dad, it's my fault, I didn't work hard enough, I'm too stupid, I've caused you trouble." Xu Chengzhi looked guilty. He knew better than anyone how much his father had worried about him over the years.

Xu Changshou shook his head: "Silly child, you are not wrong. You just don't practice well, it's not unforgivable. Dad doesn't blame you!"

"Dad, you..."

Xu Chengzhi was a little surprised. All along, his father kept urging him to practice. In his heart, he always thought that if he didn't practice well, his father would be very angry.

I didn't expect that he would suddenly say this today.

"Haha!"

Xu Changshou smiled: "From a father's perspective, I let you practice well and build your foundation for my own selfish reasons. I hope my child can live longer and accompany me longer."

"From your own perspective, you may not think so. Over the years, your father has forced you to practice. Just don't blame your father."

"I dare not, my child dare not. Dad, you are the best father in the world. It's my fault."

Hearing his son's words, Xu Changshou was slightly moved.

"Chengzhi."

"The child is here."

Xu Changshou looked at Xu Chengzhi seriously: "You are now facing two choices. First, continue to practice with me. The next practice is to prepare for the formation of the elixir. You have to work ten times or even a hundred times harder than before, because the formation of the elixir is more difficult than the foundation building! As long as you are willing to work hard, Dad will make you form the elixir."

Xu Chengzhi frowned when he heard this: "What about the second one?"

Xu Changshou: "Second, live the life you want. Do whatever you like and live happily for the rest of your life. Dad will guarantee you a life of wealth and glory."

Without waiting for Xu Chengzhi to answer, Xu Changshou added: "Chengzhi, you must think it over carefully. If you can become a golden elixir cultivator, in the future, even if you don't have a father in the sect, you will still be second to none, and you will have a lifespan of 500 years."

Xu Changshou said this, still hoping that his son could work harder.

Xu Chengzhi thought for a while and asked, "Dad, how many more years do I have to work hard to break through the golden elixir?"

Xu Changshou said, "You have to work hard until you are a hundred years old."

"I choose the second one." Xu Chengzhi said.

Xu Changshou frowned: "Why?"

Xu Chengzhi smiled and said, "Dad, I think this is more cost-effective. I don't need to work hard now, and I can live for nearly three hundred years. Even if I work hard for another hundred years and really form the elixir, I will only have four hundred years left. A hundred years of hard work in exchange for a hundred years of life, I don't think it's worth it."

"This..."

Xu Changshou was stunned when he heard it. He didn't expect his son to think about the problem from this perspective.

However, if he put himself in Xu Chengzhi's shoes, he might make the same choice as him.

You know, Xu Chengzhi has no worries about food and clothing since he was a child. He has never experienced hardship, let alone a survival crisis.

In Green Ink Peak, he is like a living ancestor. When he goes to other peaks, no one dares to offend him.

It seems that he has the rights that ordinary people dream of since he was born.

What else can a person who grows up in this situation ask for?

There are nearly three hundred years left in life, and enjoying life to the fullest is the best way.

Only by looking at the problem from his son's perspective did Xu Changshou know what his son really needed.

Everyone has a different growth environment and different life experiences.

He is him, and his son is his son.

His son has never asked him to do this or that, so why should he ask his son to do this or that?

Allow flowers to be flowers, allow trees to be trees.

If it is a small grass, let it be a small grass forever, and small grass cannot be cultivated into a towering tree.

Thinking of this, Xu Changshou was completely relieved: "Chengzhi, do what you want to do, Dad will never force you again."

"Really, thank you Dad! Dad, you are so good, the child kowtows to you!"

Xu Chengzhi was so excited that he knelt down and kowtowed to his father in a hurry.

"Dad, the child is gone."

"Go ahead, go see your mother when you have time."

"Got it."

...

After sending his son away, Xu Changshou completely had no worries and began to practice wholeheartedly.

In the past twelve years, in order to urge Xu Chengzhi to practice, Xu Changshou delayed his own practice.

Twelve years of practice has the same effect as ten years of practice.

Continue to retreat.

Next, Xu Changshou sat for ten years.

His practice reached the peak of the middle stage of the golden elixir. If he goes one step further, he can break through the late stage of the golden elixir.

At this time, his practice reached a bottleneck. No matter how hard he practiced, he could not break through. He must first comprehend the Tao and comprehend the third level of the awakening realm. After comprehending the Tao, he can break through again.

"I have to go to the enlightenment cave!"

Xu Changshou opened his eyes. Before going to the enlightenment cave, he had to take stock of his wealth.

He spent twenty-two years in retreat. He used four thousand eight hundred of the five thousand golden spirit pills, leaving only two hundred.

Before retreating, he had thirty-two thousand nine hundred middle-grade spirit stones on him. In the past twenty-two years, his annual income of spirit stones was about one thousand five hundred.

After deducting various expenses, there is still a little over 30,000 left. Adding the original savings, Xu Changshou's wealth has reached more than 63,000 medium-grade spirit stones.

The Enlightenment Room consumes spirit stones very quickly. Before entering the Enlightenment Room, you must check your property.

Of course, with Xu Changshou's current wealth, he can enter the Enlightenment Cave at will.

The first time he entered the Wudao Cave, he used the time heart talisman to fall in love, and stayed in the Wudao Cave for forty-six days.

At that time, he was comprehending the second level of the awakening method. This time he was going to comprehend the third level of awakening, which would definitely take longer than the first time.

I'm afraid it would take at least three months.

Three months is not a long time. For a cultivator, three months is just a blink of an eye.

When he comprehends the third level of the awakening method, he can break through the late Jindan stage, and the broken Dao talisman he drew can deal with the great perfection of the Jindan.

By then, his strength will truly become the first person except Xuanyang.

"Let's go!"

Thinking of this, Xu Changshou was very happy, stepped out of the dojo, and flew towards the Wudao Cave.

Taiyi Peak, Wudao Cave.

An old man in his twilight years sat cross-legged in the hall.

Hearing the sound of breaking through the air, the old man opened his turbid eyes.

"My younger brother Xu Changshou, I greet Senior Brother Li."

"Xu boy, it's you!"

Seeing that it was Xu Changshou, a trace of surprise flashed in Li Tong's eyes.

He remembered that more than 20 years ago, Xu Changshou came to Wudao Cave once and practiced in Wudao Cave for dozens of days.

He thought that Xu Changshou gained nothing that time, and after several decades, he came to Wudao Cave again to comprehend Taoism.

"Hello, Senior Brother Li!"

Xu Changshou glanced at Li Tong and couldn't help frowning.

At this time, Li Tong's blood and qi were extremely withered, and there were patches of dead spots on his body, as if he could sit and die at any time.

After more than 20 years, Li Tong became even older.
