I won't deceive you, inheriting the Dragon Elephant Sect is indeed my life's ambition. I'll make a trip to the Xu family residence with you. If you can offer suitable conditions, even this original manual is not something I cannot give you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After reaching an agreement, Xu Mingyuan and the others saw that it was already late in the day, so they stayed overnight at the White Poplar Inn. They didn't return to the Xu family home in Dongxi Village until the next day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Horses' hooves clattered over the bluestone road, with rice paddies spreading like green carpets on both sides, rippling layer upon layer in the wind, extending endlessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing children chasing white egrets on the field ridges, Gu Yiping couldn't help but sigh inwardly, \"Such a peaceful scene is rarely seen.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After settling Gu Yiping, Xu Mingyuan made a special trip to the bamboo house at Jade Cold Pool.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You want to use this to expand the Xu family's martial hall business? And simultaneously cultivate useful talents for the Xu family?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Father truly is Father, seeing through my plans at a glance.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your son knows what to do.\" Xu Mingyuan added, \"Additionally, I wish to expand the Xu family's wine workshops, wine houses, clothing shops, and fruit shops to other counties.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This matter is no small thing, involving many aspects. Most importantly, is there any loyal person available? You can first seek out or cultivate suitable candidates. Even if it takes a few years, there's no rush.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Qingjiang County is our home base, of utmost importance. If this place is not stable, everything else is pointless.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Chuan seemed to open a floodgate of words. He glanced at Xu Mingyuan and continued, \"The Xu family's commercial foundation lies in aspects of clothing, food, housing, and transportation. Now we can expand slightly. For example, carpenter shops, blacksmith shops, medicine shops, and other industries that benefit the family's development can all be put on the agenda.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We can also establish a Xu family school, allowing the children of servants and guards to learn reading and writing for free, cultivating loyalty to the Xu family from childhood.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Mingyuan nodded repeatedly, his respect for Xu Chuan rising infinitely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If Father personally managed it, our Xu family's wealth would surely multiply several times over.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Chuan laughed, \"Human strength has its limits. How could Father alone cover every aspect? Don't rush to flatter me. Occasionally offering you ideas is sufficient.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your son understands.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Finally, there's...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Please speak, Father. Your son will listen carefully to your teachings.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If there's someone you fancy, bring her home to meet us soon. Your eldest brother is already married with children, so it should be your turn next.\" Xu Chuan's lips curved upward. \"If you don't hurry, I estimate your mother will start arranging matchmaking charts for you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't blame Father for not speaking up for you then.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Father is quite open-minded. I hope you can also find a woman with whom there is mutual affection to spend this life.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Mingyuan immediately felt embarrassed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had known the day would come when he'd be urged about this, but he hadn't expected his father to discuss it while they were discussing the family's hundred-year plans.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This truly caught him off guard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Understood, Father. I'll try my best.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Mingyuan fled from Jade Cold Pool as if escaping, returning to the Xu residence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Chuan continued practicing the breathing method of the \"Lesser Dragon Elephant Technique,\" comprehending the power of heaven and earth around him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reason he was here was because he felt Jade Cold Pool was special, perhaps the power of heaven and earth gathered here would be more concentrated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Mingwei had come before and verified Xu Chuan's conjecture.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Xu Mingyuan returned, he also relayed Xu Chuan's words to Xu Mingwei.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two brothers deliberated for a long time and made detailed plans.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, the Xu family's various affairs were gradually being transferred to the two brothers, Xu Mingwei and Xu Mingyuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Chuan was slowly withdrawing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the Xu family's great hall, behind the rosewood screen, Gu Yiping gazed at the \"Fishing Alone in the Cold River\" painting hanging on the wall, his fingertips unconsciously tapping the armrest of his grand chair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The hall's pillars were all painted with vermillion lacquer, the bracket supports carved with intertwining lotus patterns, and the copper bells at the eaves carried the faint sound of string and bamboo instruments in the wind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Yiping had stayed with the Xu family for more than a day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had gained a preliminary understanding of the Xu family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The residence was classically magnificent, covering over a hundred acres. The overall design used low-key, steady colors as the main theme. In Qingjiang County, this was definitely a significant aristocratic family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The servants, maids, and guards were all well-trained, treating people warmly and never speaking excessively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had even encountered a white tiger with red-gold pupils striding through a moon gate, which nearly caused him to strike out in alarm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the Xu family's deep foundation, he believed seventy percent of their claim that they could help him establish a Dragon Elephant Martial Hall and inherit the Dragon Elephant Sect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a flash, Xu Mingwei emerged from the rear hall, his jade belt buckle at his waist making clear sounds as he directly sat in the main seat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Mingyuan followed closely behind, sitting in the first seat on the left below.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Yiping sized up the man, thinking silently, \"This Xu family head has quite extraordinary appearance and bearing, but he seems too young.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Elder brother, this is Gu Yiping, the successor of the Dragon Elephant Sect.\" Xu Mingyuan spoke first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Mingwei looked at Gu Yiping and nodded with a slight smile of acknowledgment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Yiping returned the courtesy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is my elder brother, Xu Mingwei, the acting head of our Xu family.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Yiping didn't want to concern himself with why the Xu family head wasn't present. Xu Mingwei's appearance here meant he could decide everything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brother Gu, what is your current level of strength?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Late innate realm.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Mingyuan was slightly startled but remained calm on the surface, showing no trace of his surprise. He only said blandly, \"Then that's sufficient to oversee a martial hall.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Otherwise it would be rather troublesome.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What do you mean?\" Gu Yiping furrowed his brow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Currently in Qingjiang County, Black Wind Martial Hall, Black Tiger Martial Hall, and Heavenly Dragon Martial Hall form a tripartite balance with occasional conflicts. But if a new martial hall suddenly appears, it will inevitably be suppressed.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"When you touch upon others' interests, it's almost always like this.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Yiping nodded, finding this reasonable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Therefore, our Xu family's cooperation with the Dragon Elephant Sect carries risks.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Mingyuan continued, \"Our Xu family will help with publicity, recruit disciples, and provide three to five years of funds and grain needed by the martial hall. In return, you must give us the Dragon Elephant Sect's martial arts, techniques, secret medicinal diet recipes, and so on, allowing our Xu family to copy them.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Yiping began analyzing the advantages and disadvantages.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Martial hall construction and management were both extremely complex. Relying on himself alone to build one to a certain scale would probably take more than ten years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was already in his forties, and he also wanted to continue spending time on martial arts, hoping to break through to the grandmaster level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He couldn't juggle both.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for martial arts, techniques, and recipes, though precious, they were all dead things.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If not passed down, after he passed away in a hundred years, he couldn't take them with him anyway.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His greatest wish in this life was to inherit the Dragon Elephant Sect, so what the Xu family proposed was all within his acceptable range.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Agreed.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a long moment, Gu Yiping nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then let's discuss the details. I plan to divide the Dragon Elephant Martial Hall into inner and outer sections.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The inner section represents the authentic Dragon Elephant martial arts. Disciple acceptance will be strict, with Hall Master Gu personally selecting and supervising. The Dragon Elephant Martial Hall's successors will all be chosen from within. Our Xu family will not interfere.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"After five years, the source of medicinal diets needed by the inner section disciples will require the hall master to find solutions himself.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The outer section will be managed by our Xu family. We will provide recruitment and martial arts. The hall master needs to instruct the outer section disciples once per month.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The entire martial hall's profits will be split seventy-thirty between our Xu family and the hall master.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Yiping fell silent again, carefully savoring the details Xu Mingyuan mentioned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>According to what he said, the Dragon Elephant Martial Hall's inner section was the true Dragon Elephant Sect inheritance, while the outer section could actually be considered the Xu family's private property.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It seems the Xu family has long had the intention to get involved in martial halls, only lacking a suitable person to oversee one.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Martial hall affairs were complex. Without ten to twenty years, it would be difficult to see results.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Xu family's investment would certainly not be small and he would only need to manage his own inner section. With the two families clearly separated, it would free up much time for him to concentrate on martial arts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I agree.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then here's to our pleasant cooperation.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1613,"2026-06-06T10:09:39.136Z",1,"novelbin.me","cfa547a800c20556926de3fb67c969d64b2779fd4c98fb5ca15035bd82d5534f","starting-from-the-blood-lineage-genealogy-to-bui-chapter-38","starting-from-the-blood-lineage-genealogy-to-bui-chapter-36",454,null]
