Chapter 61: I will choose a good coffin for you after I have worn you out to death

Over the past year, Xu Qingzhou would walk around his home every few days, just to find a new Heavenly Chosen.

After all, the more Heavenly Chosen there were, the greater the talent improvement for the other Xu Family members, and he himself could receive more cultivation in return.

Unfortunately, after searching for a year, he still couldn't find one.

In this situation, either the third Heavenly Chosen hadn't appeared yet, or he was being quite cautious.

He never expected to find one while moving today.

And his cheat was too formidable; it was actually Longevity.

The ultimate goal for most Cultivators is to become immortal, achieve longevity, and live freely in the mortal world.

When Xu Qingzhou first transmigrated to this world and learned he could Cultivate, his cultivation goal was also this.

This Xu Chu, on the other hand, had only just started cultivating for a few years and had already directly achieved the ultimate goal of all Cultivators.

However, Xu Qingzhou didn't envy him; as long as the Heavenly Chosen were alive, his own cultivation would continue to improve, his lifespan would constantly extend, and one day he would also be able to become immortal, ascend, and become a long-lived being.

Xu Qingzhou remained calm and, using the reason of getting to know them, asked these Alchemists a few questions one by one, finally reaching Xu Chu.

"This young man is quite young. When did he become an Alchemist?"

Xu Chu cupped his hands and honestly replied, "Reporting to Clan Leader, I became an Alchemist half a year ago. Due to limited cultivation, I can currently only refine the improved version of the Qi Gathering Pill."

He is currently only at the mid Gathering Qi stage.

Heaven was still somewhat fair; it gave him longevity but didn't give him good talent.

To be only at the mid Gathering Qi stage at this age could be said to have extremely mediocre talent.

But who made him an immortal? He didn't need to rush at all; cultivating slowly and having a certain level of self-preservation ability was enough.

It was just that Xu Qingzhou still had a doubt: Did he know he was immortal?

"Being able to refine the improved version of the Qi Gathering Pill in half a year is not bad."

At this moment, Seventh Elder spoke up, saying, "Reporting to Clan Leader, he is actually my grandson. His Alchemy talent is very ordinary; it's entirely thanks to the Family spending a large amount of Spirit Stones to Cultivate him that he can barely refine the Qi Gathering Pill."

Xu Chu, standing by, scratched his head, feeling a bit embarrassed.

[The Family's full cultivation, plus my half a year of diligent effort day and night, barely allowed me to get started and refine the Qi Gathering Pill. My Alchemy talent is truly a bit embarrassing.]

Alchemists seem to have a noble status, but without talent in this area, it requires consuming a large amount of Spirit Stones and time to achieve anything.

And the time of Cultivators is limited; if they spend all their time and energy on Alchemy, it will lead to slow improvement in their Realm.

Therefore, aside from those Cultivators with Alchemy talent, most Cultivators are unwilling and will not actively learn Alchemy.

Xu Chu had no Alchemy talent but insisted on learning. Seventh Elder, as his Grandpa, felt that since this child's cultivation talent was ordinary and his future achievements limited, becoming an Alchemist could be considered a good choice.

It just so happened that the Xu Family was in a stage of rapid development and needed Alchemists.

So after Xu Chu expressed his desire to become an Alchemist, the Family spent a large amount of Spirit Stones to Cultivate him.

Coupled with Xu Chu spending all his time on Alchemy, this barely allowed him to learn how to refine the Qi Gathering Pill in half a year.

Xu Qingzhou stepped forward, patted him on the shoulder, and was very pleased.

"Even though his Alchemy talent is ordinary, he is willing to spend a lot of time learning Alchemy for the sake of the Family. With such a Family member, how can the Xu Family not grow stronger?"

These words made Xu Chu feel embarrassed from the praise.

[Actually, I didn't learn Alchemy for the Family. If it weren't for suddenly gaining a Longevity Dao Fruit in my body half a year ago, with my infinite lifespan, wanting to learn a few more skills to earn Spirit Stones wouldn't have led me to choose to become an Alchemist.]

Hearing his inner thoughts, Xu Qingzhou breathed a sigh of relief. It was good that he knew he was immortal; if he didn't, it would be a bit troublesome.

As an immortal, he indeed didn't need to rush cultivation. He could learn Alchemy, artifact crafting, formation arrangement, and talisman making; having many skills doesn't hurt.

Xu Qingzhou cursed with a laugh in his heart, "This kid is quite cautious. He became a Heavenly Chosen half a year ago and didn't go anywhere else, yet I, who often wander around, never found him."

"However, as a long-lived being, being cautious is a very normal choice. If one's cultivation isn't high enough and the Family isn't strong enough, offending someone by accident and getting killed would be a huge loss."

"For a long-lived being, everything else is secondary; as long as they can live safely, that's enough."

Xu Qingzhou looked at Xu Chu with certainty, tentatively believing that he was learning Alchemy for the Family.

"If you need anything in the future, you can come directly to me. Our Xu Family will absolutely not mistreat any Family member who contributes to the Family."

These words were not only directed at Xu Chu but also at all Xu Family members.

Xu Chu quickly replied, "The Family gave birth to me and raised me; it is only right to contribute to the Family."

[When a child wants to support their parents, the parents are no longer there. Perhaps after thousands or tens of thousands of years, the Xu Family will no longer exist. So while my Family members are still here, I should do more for them.]

Hearing this, Xu Qingzhou wanted to slap him.

You kid, what are you thinking? Are you looking down on our Xu Family??

Actually, this couldn't be blamed on Xu Chu. He didn't know that the Xu Family had two Heavenly Chosen and a transmigrator with a System.

Under normal circumstances, a Family continuing for several thousand years is already very impressive.

Families that continue for tens of thousands of years are few and far between when looking at the entire Great Qi Dynasty.

So, thinking this way, he already held the Xu Family in high regard.

Xu Qingzhou affirmed, "I am very pleased that you can think this way."

After understanding the situation of the third Heavenly Chosen, Xu Qingzhou began to return to the main topic.

With Xu Luo, a reborn person who was proficient in Alchemy in his previous life, present, Xu Qingzhou intended to make Alchemy the main business for the Xu Family's future development and growth, so it must be arranged properly.

The improved versions of the Qi Gathering Pill, Condensing Consciousness Pill, and Increasing Yuan Pill are the foundation for the Xu Family to gain a firm foothold and develop rapidly in Lingyue City; there can be no mistakes.

When Xu Qingzhou had arranged everything and the Xu Family Alchemists were leaving, he gave Seventh Elder a look, instructing Xu Chu to stay behind alone.

As the Xu Family's Heavenly Chosen, Xu Qingzhou wanted to fully Cultivate him.

And currently, the most important thing for Xu Chu was safety. As a long-lived being, he would eventually be invincible as long as he was alive.

Therefore, in addition to giving him some Cultivation Techniques, martial arts skills, pills, and weapons, Xu Qingzhou also gave him the Golden Sword Talisman that Su Xin had given him before.

This Golden Sword Talisman sealed three Sword Qi, capable of killing Purple Mansion Cultivators.

Previously, Xu Qingzhou used it to kill Seven Stars Sect Elder Zhou, and it could still be used twice.

Xu Chu was immediately overwhelmed by the favor and repeatedly waved his hands.

"Clan Leader, these treasures are too valuable. I am merely refining pills for the Family; my contribution is insignificant. Please give these treasures to other Family members instead."

[I really like this Golden Sword Talisman. I was just being polite, Clan Leader. Please don't take it seriously.]

Xu Qingzhou suppressed his smile and handed him the Storage Ring.

"Contribution has no size. As long as you are a Xu Family member, you will have these. Take it."

After exchanging courtesies back and forth several times, Xu Chu, deeply moved, still accepted it.

It was just the thought in his heart at this moment that made Xu Qingzhou want to kick him flying.

[Clan Leader is too good to me. When the day comes that I outlive you, I will definitely make you a high-quality coffin.]
