Many thanks to Jie Xi (200), Caiyun Weiwei (100), Mableip (100), and Little Medicine Jar World (100) for their rewards!

The three people outside the door opened their eyes at the same time. Hope and Xu Xingfan were delighted and stood up from the ground. Xu Xingfan looked at Xu Ziyan and asked with concern:

"Auntie, are you okay?"

"Auntie is fine!" Xu Ziyan smiled, and then looked at Ouyang Ba opposite. Ouyang Ba bowed his hands and saluted:

"Ouyang Ba pays homage to Sect Leader Xu!"

"Ouyang Ba?" Xu Ziyan frowned slightly: "But he is from the Ouyang family?"

"Yes!" Ouyang Ba said respectfully.

Xu Ziyan glanced at Ouyang Ba, and when he saw that the other party turned out to be in the middle stage of Tianzun, he said lightly:

"Ancestor Ouyang?"

"I don't dare!" Ouyang Ba said still respectfully: "I just want to live in Ouyang's family longer."

Xu Ziyan's expression remained calm: "I'm tired today and want to rest. Fellow Taoist Ouyang, please come back!"

After the words fell, Xu Ziyan turned around. Ouyang Ba's face changed when he heard the words, and he immediately raised his voice slightly and said:

"Sect Master Xu, please give me another chance!"

"Opportunity?" Xu Ziyan said coldly: "Don't think that I don't know what your Ouyang family did to me and Taixu Sect. I didn't go to your Ouyang family to cause trouble. You should feel lucky. You asked me to give it to you

Chance?"

A trace of embarrassment flashed across Ouyang Ba's face, and then he became solemn and said: "Sect Master Xu. Of course I can come up with a price that makes Sect Master Xu give the Ouyang family a chance!"

Xu Ziyan looked Ouyang Ba up and down, and saw that he didn't look like he was lying. But Xu Ziyan finally shook his head and said:

"Fellow Taoist Ouyang, I don't think you have anything that can impress me. Do you think there is anything I lack?"

Ouyang Ba's face showed a hint of confidence: "Zong Master Xu. I know that you are not short of alchemy weapon arrays, let alone fairy crystals. But I believe that this treasure of our Ouyang family is what Xu Ziyan needs most at the moment."

"Oh?" Seeing Ouyang Ba so confident, Xu Ziyan was also interested in what Ouyang Ba said and said lightly:

"Come in!"

When the words fell, Xu Ziyan had turned around and walked into the room. Ouyang Ba's face was obviously relieved, and he followed Xu Ziyan closely. Xu Xingfan and Hope were still guarding the door.

Xu Ziyan sat on the chair and said to Ouyang Ba: "Sit down!"

"Thank you for sitting down!" Ouyang Ba sat down opposite Xu Ziyan, and without waiting for Xu Ziyan to ask, he said:

"Sect Master Xu. Fifty million years ago, our Ouyang family was still a small family in the south. Do you know what our Ouyang family relied on to reach the status of a big family today?"

Xu Ziyan thought for a moment and said: "It should be a stunningly talented person, right?"

"That's right! Master Xu is wise!"

Xu Ziyan smiled lightly and said: "I have learned about the Ouyang family. The rise of the Ouyang family seems to be inseparable from one person, that is, a great monk named Ouyang Ying of your Ouyang family. It is said that his cultivation reached the peak of the middle stage of Tianzun. It is true.

It was because of his existence that the Ouyang family was led from a small family to a big family in the south. It is a pity that Ouyang Ying finally fell into the hands of the demon clan."

A trace of sadness appeared on Ouyang Ba's face. After two breaths, Ouyang Ba regained his composure and said:

"Ancestor Ouyang Ying is indeed the patriarch of the generation who led the Ouyang family to glory. However, it is not the fundamental reason why the Ouyang family reaches glory. The reason why the Ouyang family is able to achieve glory is because of another ancestor."

"Another one?" Xu Ziyan was shocked. He didn't expect that the Ouyang family once had a master, so he couldn't help but ask:

"Who is he? His cultivation level exceeds that of Ouyang Ying?"

Ouyang Ba shook his head and said: "The ancestor's name is Ouyang Xuan, he... only has the cultivation level of Qi Refining Stage!"

Xu Ziyan's face sank and she said: "Fellow Taoist Ouyang, are you kidding me?"

There was no trace of panic in Ouyang Ba's expression. Instead, a kind of adoration was released in his eyes:

"No! Master Xu. This has always been a secret of the Ouyang family. Ancestor Xuan was originally the eldest son of the Ouyang family, but when he was three years old, he began to test his qualifications and prepare to practice, but found that his qualifications were extremely poor, and his meridians

Slender, with a lot of impurities in his body. Such a person is a waste, a garbage. Even if the whole family used the power to cultivate him, his final achievements will only reach the stage of forming a core."

Xu Ziyan's expression became calm. She knew that Ouyang Ba would never come here eagerly to tell her a story, and his trump card to protect the Ouyang family must have fallen on Ouyang Xuan.

but……

For a monk in the pill-forming stage, even in the vast continent, even in the north of the vast continent, Taixuanzong was not the one with the highest cultivation level. Taixuanzong also had a great monk of Nascent Soul. What's more, in the Shangyuan Continent, the formation of

Even though he is an ant in the Dan stage, he is still an extremely weak ant, not to mention that Ouyang Xuan is only in the Qi refining stage? How can such an ant make the Ouyang family rise?

Xu Ziyan's interest emerged in his heart and he looked at Xu Ziyan.

Ouyang Ba breathed a sigh of relief again. He saw that Xu Ziyan's interest had been aroused. He was afraid that Xu Ziyan thought he was talking nonsense and drove him out directly. He took a deep breath and looked at his face again.

Showed the glory of pride.

"Although Patriarch Xuan is a direct disciple, a direct disciple who cannot practice will not be respected, let alone the treatment that a direct disciple should receive. Therefore, Patriarch Xuan was abandoned by the family at that time.

Fortunately, he was still the eldest son of the head of the family at that time. The patriarch of the clan at that time, the father of Patriarch Xuan, set aside a separate courtyard for Patriarch Xuan and ignored him, leaving him to fend for himself.

This situation became even more serious after the birth of Patriarch Xuan's younger brother. Moreover, Patriarch Xuan's younger brother had very good qualifications and was favored by the entire family. Patriarch Xuan's younger brother became Ouyang Ying.

As time goes by, everyone has forgotten about Patriarch Xuan. It seems that there is no such person in the Ouyang family at all. There is only a maid who serves Patriarch Xuan and takes care of Patriarch Xuan's daily life every day.

According to the maid's later recollections, since Patriarch Xuan was sent to this private courtyard when he was three years old, the only thing he did every day besides eating and sleeping was to lie on the roof and look up at the white clouds in the sky.

Probably when Patriarch Xuan was five years old, that is, the year Patriarch Ying was born, Patriarch Xuan suddenly fell in love with painting. Every day, besides lying on the ridge of the roof and looking up at the sky, he would sit down at his desk and paint."

Xu Ziyan's eyes flashed, thoughtfully.

"Ancestor Xuan kept painting like this. I don't know how much he painted. He kept painting for eighteen years. When Ancestor Xuan was twenty-three years old, he finished one painting, and then he kept vomiting blood and was dying. He

Let the maid who was the only one serving him call for Patriarch Ying.

Unfortunately, at that time, everyone had forgotten that there was another person living in the small courtyard that had been closed all year round, and Patriarch Ying didn't even know that he had an older brother.

When the maid forced her way into Patriarch Ying's courtyard, Patriarch Ying, who was already eighteen years old at that time, knew that he had an older brother. When he heard that Patriarch Xuan was dying, he had no time to report to his parents and immediately followed that

The maid came to Patriarch Xuan.

At this time, Patriarch Xuan was speechless and just pointed to the painting on the table with his eyes. Patriarch Ying walked to the table in confusion and was immersed in it as soon as he saw the painting.

Soon, the parents of Ancestor Xuan and some elders from the family rushed here. They were not here to see Ancestor Xuan, but were worried about Ancestor Ying. They thought of Ancestor Xuan and came to reprimand Ancestor Xuan.

Don't delay Ancestor Ying's cultivation or affect Ancestor Ying. In their opinion, the further away Ancestor Ying is from this good-for-nothing, the better.

but……

As soon as they entered the room, they saw Patriarch Ying standing in front of the table. When they looked on the bed, they saw that Patriarch Xuan had no breath."

"Alas..." Xu Ziyan sighed, with a trace of sadness on his face.

Hearing Xu Ziyan's sigh, Ouyang Ba looked at Xu Ziyan, with a heavy and angry voice:

"What did Sect Leader Xu guess?"

Xu Ziyan's eyes showed a trace of longing: "I think that although the ancestor Xuan was physically weak, his understanding was unparalleled. It took him eighteen years to comprehend a technique...

No!"

Xu Ziyan frowned slightly, thought for a while, and his eyes suddenly shone:

"Your Ouyang family is just a small family. It shouldn't have many techniques, let alone top-level techniques. And because of the qualifications of the ancestor Xuan, even the slightly better techniques of the Ouyang family cannot be obtained.

So what he created was not a technique, but... a great way!"

Xu Ziyan's eyes were shining, and the longing in his eyes was even stronger: "He understood the way of heaven, but he was trapped by his lack of understanding of the exercises, so he was unable to create a complete exercise, and the way was indescribable.

, he couldn’t write the way of heaven he wanted to tell, so he gathered all his insights into one painting.”

Speaking of this, Xu Ziyan sighed again: "He was originally weak, and he gathered the avenues of understanding in one painting, draining his last bit of life. Such a peerless genius, I hate that Ziyan can't be the same as him

era."

Ouyang Ba looked at Xu Ziyan with his eyes wide open, his eyes filled with extreme shock. After a while, he exhaled a long breath, with a look of admiration on his face and said:

"Sect Master Xu, only a peerless genius like you can understand a genius like Patriarch Xuan. The Ouyang family really overestimates its capabilities and dares to offend you. If you can really be of the same era as Patriarch Xuan... it is really desirable.

!”

The room fell silent, as if traveling through time and space at this moment, making the two people in the room feel yearning in their hearts.
