Chapter 19 Double Happiness
New year new life.

With the arrival of the Lunar New Year of the Rat, Zhou Mei gave birth to a pair of children for Li Zhi.

Since then, the family has had a pair of twin brother and sister.

Li Zhi named his brother Li Jizu and his sister Li Xianer.

Zhou Mei thought the names were old-fashioned at first, but after listening to Li Zhi's explanation, she quickly accepted the two names.

The reason why he named his son Li Jizu was to let him not forget the ancestral foundation, inherit the family business, and carry on their Li family from generation to generation.

Li Xianer carries Li Zhi's hope of becoming an immortal.

As the golden age was about to arrive, geniuses from all eras were born one after another, but in the end, only Ye Fan's wife and daughter became immortals.

It has to be said that it is a great irony for those supreme beings who cut themselves with a sword and hide in the forbidden area.

For those geniuses who strive hard and hope to become emperors, it is a loud slap in the face.

Li Zhi is not sure what level he can reach in the future, but he still hopes to become an emperor or even an immortal in this world.

But he would never be so blindly confident that he would become an emperor.

He is neither the biological son of a true immortal, nor the descendant of an immortal king, nor does he have a sister who is an emperor.

He has to fight and overcome everything by himself.

In order to resolve the worries, Li Zhi and Zhou Mei got their marriage certificate in a low-key manner before Zhou Mei gave birth, and held a simple wedding ceremony.

It also gives Li Jizu and Li Xianer, brother and sister, a legal identity.

Li Zhi did not have any hope for the two brothers and sisters to become monks.

If he succeeds in cultivation in the future, he might come back to guide them into Taoism. If he encounters difficulties on the road to becoming an immortal, there would be no need for them to take risks with him.

Li Zhi intends to let them walk their own future path.

The addition of two little ones to the family has made the home extremely lively.

In order to take care of the two siblings, Li Zhi hired four nannies.

With a professional nanny taking care of the children, Li Zhi and Zhou Mei were not bothered by all kinds of trivial matters. They just simply enjoyed the happiness brought to them by the two little lives.

Every day, Li Zhi practiced breathing techniques, longevity exercises, and the Xingyi Twelve Forms boxing unremittingly.

He also tried to teach Zhou Mei some breathing techniques so that her body could recover faster.

Maybe it was due to the difference in physique or the limitation of her talent, but the effect after Zhou Mei’s practice was not obvious.

It is similar to the effect of radio gymnastics.

After persisting for a few days, Zhou Mei stopped practicing the breathing method.

Instead, she started exercising with a yoga teacher she hired at a high price and got back in shape.

Li Zhi has been practicing breathing techniques for more than a year, but he has not been able to sense the existence of the Sea of ​​Bitterness. However, his strength has increased a lot, and his deadlift has finally broken through the limit of 500 kilograms. He is striding towards the level of 600 kilograms.

There was even a hint of him wanting to catch up with Ye Fan.

This made Li Zhi secretly excited.

Sometimes, Li Zhi even felt that his body had broken through the limits of the mortal body and was moving towards the level of strength of a thousand pounds with a single arm.

Although it is not known whether his current situation can be regarded as embarking on the path of cultivation, Li Zhi's blood and qi are vigorous and he is full of energy. He does not look like an ordinary person at all.

With the birth of Li Jizu and Li Xianer, the family's fortune seemed to have improved a lot.

Before the New Year was over, Li Dapeng brought him good news.

Those who were secretly looking for Xu Jiping found him.

And it was a bloody drama.

The battle between the Xu family and the Yao family finally came to an end.

The Yao family who warned Mr. Xu suffered a big setback.

Perhaps because of Yao Le's warning, Mr. Xu was directly angered. He teamed up with his students to give the Yao family an extreme backstab.

In the end, the head of the Yao family not only lost his official position, but was also sent to prison.

The arrogant Yao Le was so scared that he ran abroad.

However, after overthrowing the Yao family, the Xu family did not gain much.

The jade book in the Yao family's hands was nowhere to be found. Even though the big shots above gave a death order, the original copy of the martial arts manual was not found.

Mr. Xu took the initiative to explain his problem and handed in the rubbings, and the higher-ups did not pursue the matter further.

It seems that to the big shots above, this kind of skills passed down from ancient times are not that rare.

The storm ended here and Li Zhi was not implicated.

It seemed that Li Zhi's sacrifice that day played a key role in eliminating all related causes and effects.

On the afternoon of the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, Li Zhi, who was watching TV with Zhou Mei in the living room, received another call from Li Dapeng.

After hanging up the phone, Zhou Mei seemed to sense Li Zhi's worries and said, "Hubby, I'm fine now. You don't have to stay at home with me every day. The children are taken care of by a nanny, so we don't have to worry about them. Just go and do what you need." Li Zhi smiled and said, "It's nothing important. You haven't even finished your confinement yet, how can I leave you and the children at home?"

Zhou Mei smiled and said, "You're treating me like a child again."

Li Zhi grabbed her hand and said with a smile: "You will always be a little girl to me."

Zhou Mei smiled even sweeter, and then said, "Brother Dapeng calls you every day to urge you to go. You should go meet him."

Li Zhi seemed unwilling to talk about work in front of Zhou Mei, so he changed the subject and said, "Mei'er, do you think we should renovate the house in our hometown? Although the old house is still habitable, it is nearly 20 years old and it was my father who presided over the renovation. Now that we have continued the incense of the Li family, shouldn't we let Jizu and Xian'er live in the new house built by their father?"

Zhou Mei nodded and said, "I'll do whatever you say. When the children are over one year old, we will take them back to our hometown to live for a while. Let them get to know their relatives and friends. In the future, we will take them back to live for a while every winter and summer vacation so that they can remember the taste of their hometown."

Li Zhi said, "That's great. Only if you have lived in my hometown since childhood can you understand how our Li family prospered."

In fact, the reason why Li Zhi planned to renovate the house was to make the old house impregnable and to store some means that could help the Li family make a comeback.

The ancestral craftsmanship must not be lost.
-
A few days later.

Li Dapeng drove and took Li Zhi to the Jing'an Hall of the Xu family.

Sitting in the car, Li Dapeng introduced to Li Zhi: "This is it. Mr. Xu comes to this clinic almost every day to see patients for half a day."

Li Zhi looked up and down at the ancient and majestic Jing'an Hall through the window. He felt an inexplicable sense of desolation and asked, "Is there anyone else in his family now?"

Li Dapeng said, "Mr. Xu is also a ruthless man. In order to bring down the Yao family, he refused to compromise even though his eldest son was sent to prison for illegal medical practice. In the end, the Yao family suffered a great loss. Now the rumor is that the Yao family has a treasure, and whoever can find Yao Le's whereabouts will make a fortune."

Li Zhi nodded slightly and said, "I'll go meet this legendary Mr. Xu."

Li Dapeng asked, "Why did you come to see him? Now the old man is being closely watched by the higher-ups. He probably doesn't dare to do that kind of business anymore."

All along, Li Dapeng believed that the reason why Li Zhi asked him to observe the movements of those families was to find new sources of cultural relics.

When doing cultural relics business, it is impossible for the goods on hand to always be large-scale items. It is inevitable to deal with tomb robbers in order to have a steady supply of new goods.

"Brother Dapeng, wait for me in the car. I will go and talk to Mr. Xu alone." After observing in the car for a few minutes, Li Zhi said to Li Dapeng.

"I'd better go with you." Li Dapeng was a little worried that Li Zhi would get into trouble, so he volunteered.

"No need. I'm here to visit Mr. Xu, not to discuss business." Li Zhi refused Li Dapeng.

Afterwards, Li Dapeng said nothing more and drove outside waiting for Li Zhi.

When Li Zhi walked into Jing'an Hall, he saw an old man sitting in the lobby for consultation.

He is in high spirits and his face is bright.

When he saw Li Zhi coming in, he didn't show any reaction.

It was not until Li Zhi sat on the chair opposite him that Mr. Xu said, "Young man, you've come to the wrong place."

The old man can tell at a glance whether the patient is sick or not.

"I'm not here to see a doctor. I heard that you have a book of martial arts passed down from ancient times. I plan to buy a copy from you. What do you think?" Li Zhi said very directly.

"Ten million." Mr. Xu was more direct and asked for ten million right away. It seemed that this was not the first time he had met someone who came to him to buy martial arts techniques.

"Deal." Li Zhi was more direct and agreed to Mr. Xu's exorbitant price on the spot.

Mr. Xu's eyes showed a little doubt, and then he asked, "Who are you?"

Li Zhi smiled confidently and said, "Those who are willing to spend money to buy the skills."

Mr. Xu seemed to have misunderstood something and said immediately: "I only have a copy, not the original. If you want the original, you should go to the Yao family."

Li Zhi said: "All I want is the technique. It doesn't matter whether it is the original or not."

Mr. Xu frowned slightly and asked cautiously, "May I ask your name, young man?"

Li Zhi said: "My last name is Li."

Mr. Xu's eyes revealed a little shock, as if he had connected Li Zhi with the noble Li above, and he immediately said, "Excuse me."

Li Zhi didn't think of this, but asked: "When can I get the skills?"

Mr. Xu said: "One hand pays the other hand delivers the goods."

Li Zhi glanced at the computer on the counter next to him and said, "Then transfer the money."

Under the surprised gaze of Mr. Xu, Li Zhi transferred 10 million in cash to Jing'an Hall's account.

Seeing that the money had arrived, it seemed that Li Zhi was not worried that Li Zhi would default on the debt, so Mr. Xu confirmed his guess.

Then he took out a photocopied version of "The Book of Immortality" from the back hall and handed it to Li Zhi.

He now has three copies of the same book.

After Li Zhi got the Changsheng Sutra, he flipped through it briefly and realized that it was a complete volume of the Lunhai Scroll for practicing techniques.

Afterwards, Li Zhi bowed slightly to Mr. Xu and said, "The money and goods have been paid. Goodbye."

After seeing Li Zhi off, Mr. Xu sat in the lobby for a long time. It was not until his eldest granddaughter Xu Miaomiao called him home for dinner that he sighed deeply.

It seemed as if he had woken up from a vague dream of immortality.
