"Did I hear it wrong?" Xu Fan shook his head. He didn't quite believe what he had heard.

Seeing Xu Fan's strange expression, Xia Weiwei transmitted her voice with concern, "Country bumpkin, what's wrong?"

Xu Fan replied, "It's fine. Did you hear what that middle-aged man said just now?"

Xia Weiwei frowned, saying, "I heard it. These two seem to be from the Xu Family of Dragon City. Strange, something has happened to the Xu Family. Why are there people from the Xu Family of Dragon City here?"

Xu Fan thought to himself, it seems like he really did not hear wrongly. He hurriedly said, "Let's not talk anymore, let's listen to what they have to say."

"Yes."

Very soon, Xu Fan heard that young man ask curiously, "Dad, you're not letting me go to participate in the recruitment event for the five great Immortal Cultivation Sects, is it because I have good aptitude?"

The middle-aged man said, "That's just one reason."

Following that, the middle-aged man suddenly sighed and said, "Fine, I'll tell you some things. Today, before the appointed time between me and Martial Uncle Bai arrives, I'll tell you the secret of our Xu Family so that you won't worry about cultivating in peace."

After saying that, the middle-aged man seemed exceptionally cautious and said, "Remember, these words must not be spread out, otherwise a disaster will befall you, do you understand?"

"Understood, Father!"

Perhaps it was because the middle-aged man was being too cautious, but the youth only replied and did not speak. He was most likely waiting for the middle-aged man to reveal the secret.

At this moment, Xu Fan, who was hiding in the bushes, heard this and his body trembled.

He didn't know why, but he suddenly felt that the middle-aged man's words were most likely related to him. This kind of strange perception had made him experience things repeatedly in his previous life.

Because of this, Xu Fan's heart also rose to his throat. He almost couldn't help but want to jump up and down, which scared him so much that he hurriedly took a deep breath to catch his breath.

Behind him, Xia Weiwei tightly leaned against his side. She held her breath and held her breath, also not daring to breathe as she was afraid of attracting the attention of the father and son duo.

Xia Weiwei felt Xu Fan's abnormality and gently pulled him.

Xu Fan turned his head, only to see Xia Weiwei looking at him with a pair of concerned eyes.

Xu Fan nodded his head. At this time, he heard the middle-aged man say, "Feng'er, the [Golden Alchemy Art] you cultivate originally came from one of the five great cultivation sects, the Spiritual Medicine Sect."

At this time, he was almost certain that the middle-aged man was Xu Jincheng, but what he couldn't understand was that from his own memories and from the Xu family's servants, he had learned that the Xu family only had one son in the Xu family, Xu Fan. How could there suddenly be another youth named Feng'er? Could it be that this middle-aged man was not Xu Jincheng, but another branch of the Xu family?

At the same time, the youth called Feng'er was also shocked by the middle-aged man's words. He said in surprise, "Father, how is this possible?" Isn't the Golden Offering Art our Xu Family's inherited Immortal cultivation secret? "

In reality, Xu Fan also wanted to know this. Xu Fan immediately tried to guard his mind and carefully eavesdrop.

The middle-aged man let out a soft sigh, and said: "The 'Exhibition Golden Arts' was passed down in our Xu Family, but it was brought back from the Spiritual Medicine Sect by the ancestor of the Xu Family. It's all going back to our ancestor Xu Maoshan, who was originally an outer disciple of the Spiritual Medicine Sect. Back then, our ancestor knew that he did not have enough talent and was unable to cultivate his path to longevity, so he returned to the mortal world and founded the current Xu family. "

Pausing for a moment, the middle-aged man sighed, "In the past, our ancestor made an unparalleled military achievement in the establishment of the Chu Yun Empire, and as a result, the illustrious military achievement of the Chu Yun Empire's Xia Clan's ancestor bestowed upon the head of the Xu Family's Dragon City, as well as bestowing upon him the title of King of the southeast. "Since the founding of the Xu Family's first generation, this generation has already been considered as the fifth generation. It's a pity, however, that after a few generations, the Xu Family has gradually declined, especially with me. This has caused even Dragon City's Xu Family Castle to have no choice but to give up.

At this point, Xu Fan was completely sure that this middle-aged man was Xu Jincheng. However, he was still very puzzled. Since this middle-aged man was Xu Jincheng, then what was going on with this youth called Feng Er?

Even if Xu Fan wasn't the real 'Xu Fan', he still wanted to find out what was going on right now. So he endured the urge to rush out and ask, then continued to hide in the bushes and eavesdrop.

The youth asked: "Dad, since our Xu family and that Spiritual Medicine Sect have such a close relationship, why don't you allow me to participate in the disciple recruitment event?"

The middle-aged man could not be said to be Xu Jincheng sighing once again, "It is precisely because the Xu family and the Spiritual Medicine Sect have a close relationship that I cannot allow you to participate in this year's disciple recruitment event!"

"Dad, I don't understand!"

The middle-aged man suddenly said in a cold voice: "That's right, if you appear in front of the Spirit Medicine Sect's disciples now, wouldn't the things that I have set up in the past ten years be wasted? "Didn't the Xu Family just accidentally lose so many people this time around?"

"Layout? "Looks like I'm finally going to unravel the secret!"

Xu Fan's heart shook greatly, and his palms began to sweat. He had a strange thought in his mind. He seemed to have understood something, could it be …

At this time, the youth asked in confusion, "Father, I still don't understand what you mean?"

"..."

Under the moonlight, Xu Jincheng looked at his son lovingly, sighing faintly.

As for Xu Fan, he was standing in a nearby bush a hundred feet away. His heart was in turmoil as he pondered.

Just as Xu Fan was thinking and thinking about all sorts of things, Xu Jincheng threw out another bomb, "Our Xu family has always been the Spiritual Medicine Sect's representative in the mortal world. In fact, the five great families of Chu Yun are the representatives of the five great cultivation sects in the mortal world. However, in the past few hundred years, there has been some problems within the Spiritual Medicine Sect, and our Xu Family has also suffered. "

He was surprised that, from Xu Jincheng's point of view, this incident seemed to have a lot to do with the Spiritual Medicine Sect. He was also happy that since the Xu family was the Spiritual Medicine Sect's representative in the mortal world, it shouldn't be too difficult for him to join the Spiritual Medicine Sect.

Sure enough, Xu Jincheng's next words soon confirmed Xu Fan's guess, but at the same time it also caused him to be even more shocked.

After pausing for a moment, Xu Jincheng sighed and said, "The Five Great Families are the representatives of the Five Great Cultivator Sects in the mortal world. Their disciples are actually the outer disciples of the Five Great Cultivator Sects. While recruiting a group of disciples, they will also take a group of direct bloodline cultivators or disciples of other branches with qualifications into the sect to cultivate. This is the support of the five cultivation sects for their secular representative clans, but at the same time, it is also to better control their representative clans in the secular world. "

When the boy heard this, he ignored Xu Jincheng's last sentence and excitedly said: "Isn't this just nice? If that's the case, doesn't that mean that I don't need to participate in the disciple recruitment event and will naturally become an outer disciple of the Spiritual Medicine Sect? "

"It's like this."

"That's great! Since it's like this, why don't you let me go to the Spiritual Medicine Sect to cultivate?"

The youth was somewhat excited, but at the same time, he was also confused.

Then, Xu Jincheng shook his head and said seriously: "Feng'er, don't be too happy yet. However, it's because of this reason that our Xu Family has fallen into a situation of danger. Since the third generation of our Xu Family, there have been a total of seven or eight Xu Family disciples entering the Spiritual Medicine Sect to cultivate, but not a single one of them has succeeded. For this reason, Father cannot let you be discovered by the new disciples of the Spiritual Medicine Sect. "

"How can this be? Father, is this news reliable? "

The youth frowned and became even more confused, "Dad, aren't we, the Xu Family, the representatives of the Spiritual Medicine Sect in the mortal world? Why do they still want to deal with our Xu Family? Could it be that they are worried that the future accomplishments of our Xu Family will pose a threat to them? "

Xu Jincheng laughed bitterly: "This news should be right, it came from a person from the Spiritual Medicine Sect who has some ties with our Xu family. As for why it is like this, Father is not too clear either, but that person is a little finger pointing. It seems like it has something to do with a few factions within the Spiritual Medicine Sect."
