Chapter 133 Clam
Zhang Zhixuan finally came to Jiaohefang, so he wanted to visit the market and take a look at the specialties of Jiaohefang.
Jiaohefang is close to Jiaohe River, and the quality of its spiritual veins is very extraordinary. The specialty of this city is pearls in the water, and from time to time, some water-attributed spiritual objects can be harvested.
There are many giant clams at the bottom of the Jiao River. Every few years, these giant clams will spit out a spiritual bead. The monks in Jiaohefang will feed these giant clams so that they can continuously spit out spiritual beads, which is equivalent to domesticated monsters.
This kind of spiritual beads are all water-attribute spiritual objects, and their spiritual energy is equivalent to low-grade spiritual stones.
However, this kind of spirit bead can not only be used to set up formations, but can also be used to make elixirs.
Although this kind of giant clam pearl is of lower grade, it is very popular among the female cultivators of the Yu Kingdom because of its special beautifying and beautifying effects.
Female cultivators from Qingxuan Sect often come here to buy spiritual beads and refine pearl ointment.
Even the monks from Montenegro often come to buy some of these clam beads.
The price of clam beads varies depending on the annual output, but it is roughly three to five spiritual stones per piece.
Zhang Zhixuan originally planned to buy a few spiritual beads as gifts for Qingchan. It is a pity that because Jiaohefang killed a large number of monsters, the income of the monks in the market increased a lot. The price of these clam beads actually increased a bit, reaching a historical high of eight spirit stones per piece, which made Zhang Zhixuan Shaking his head.
Zhang Zhixuan walked around the market and found that prices in Jiaohefang had almost increased by 20 to 30%, which Zhang Zhixuan, who had always been budget-conscious, could not accept.
“Anyone who buys things at this time is a profiteer in the cheap market, and Patriarch Wu is the same, so he shouldn’t take good care of it.”
Just when Zhang Zhixuan was muttering in his heart, he ran into an acquaintance, Wu Xiangjie, the patriarch of the Wu family.
Over the years, although the two families were secretly a bit dirty, they still managed to maintain a decent reputation. When facing outsiders, they often worked together as a team.
Although the Wu family is now at its peak, the patriarch Wu Xiangjie is a very extraordinary person. Although he has high cultivation and strong strength, he is very kind-hearted and has never been domineering in Taicheng County, let alone arrogant.
Among the monks in Taicheng County, this man has been the leader for more than a hundred years. Even Zhang Zhixuan is convinced by him.
“Have you met Senior Wu? Senior Wu also comes to the market to buy things?” Zhang Zhixuan raised his hand when he saw Wu Xiangzhen.
“What are you buying? If you want to buy something in the market at this time, you are either a fool or a fool. There are too many spiritual stones. I went to your residence and heard that you were wandering around in the market. I came to find you.”
Zhang Zhixuan was shocked when he heard that Wu Xiangjian was looking for him, and he immediately became more cautious.
“Senior Wu comes to me and just sends a transmission note. Otherwise, I should go visit Senior Wu. Why bother with Senior Wu?”
Wu Xiangjie smiled and said, “I have important matters to discuss with you, how can I use the transmission talisman?”
“Senior Wu, what do you want from me?”
“Zhixuan! I am more than a hundred years older than you. Today, as an elder, I will talk to you about my inner feelings.
Our two families live in Taicheng County, although there have been minor conflicts over the years.
Especially your father, Zhang Mengzhen, died at the hands of our Wu family, but in the general direction, we still help each other and cooperate with each other.
The grudges of the past have passed. I hope you will also look forward and not be blinded by hatred or let the two families bleed. “
If the Wu family inquires casually, they can learn about Zhang Zhixuan’s travels. It happened that the Wu brothers died in Heishanfang City during this period.
According to the rules of cultivators, no amount of evidence is needed, just suspicion is enough.
Even when Zhang Mengzhen died in Fangshi, there was no evidence that the Wu brothers were responsible. It was just suspicion and speculation.
When Wu Xiangjie said this today, he meant that this was the end, and there would be no further pursuit of each other.
Zhang Zhixuan agreed very much with what Wu Xiangjie meant. There were more than a hundred monks in the Zhang family, and every one of them might have a grudge. If you remain stubborn and unable to resolve your grudges, your enemies will be everywhere and your family will be destroyed.
After listening to Wu Xiangjie’s words, Zhang Zhixuan immediately nodded and said: “Senior Wu said, as the saying goes, it is better to dissolve enemies than to make enemies. As long as I am here, I will not let our two families turn against each other.”
Wu Xiangjie said with relief on his face: “You are right to think so. With you as a junior in the Zhang family, everything will be fine in the future. It’s a pity that our Wu family, looking at the scenery now, doesn’t know what to do in the future?”
“Senior Wu is worrying too much. Ancestor Wu was at his peak in the Spring and Autumn Period, and your Wu family has a profound foundation. How could it possibly decline?”
Zhang Zhixuan’s rhetorical question made Wu Xiangjie shake his head. He said seriously: “Zhixuan!
Let me ask you, one hundred and sixty years ago, could you have imagined that the Zhang family would be in danger one day?
Today’s Wu family is the Zhang family of yesteryear. Just one battle at Zihuai Mountain has damaged the ancestor’s vitality. In another thirty or forty years, it will be time for the monsters to move north again, and then there will be another difficulty. Except for God, no one knows what will happen in the future.
To be disrespectful, even the ancestors of Qingxuan Sect and Jin may be defeated tomorrow, so we should look at the problem with a long-term perspective.
When you are losing power, don’t be desperate and discouraged; when you are in glory, don’t be arrogant and domineering. “
“Senior Wu’s words are really good words. For Senior Wu to be able to say these words, he has surpassed many high-level monks in terms of realm.” After hearing Wu Xiangjie’s words, Zhang Zhixuan also felt a sense of admiration.
“I came to you today not to chat with you, but to hope that our two families can work together to touch Jiuhua Mountain on the way home.”
Although Wu Xiangjie did not say it clearly, Zhang Zhixuan immediately understood the meaning of his words. He hoped to cooperate with Zhang Zhixuan and kill the old foundation builder of the Hu family in one fell swoop on the way back and attack the Hu family in Jiuhua Mountain.
When the Hu family entered Taicheng County in the past few years, they only impacted the interests of the Zhang and Wu families. Using the scattered cultivators who escaped from Wu, they took away Jiuhua Mountain from the Zhang family and from the Wu family. Go to Xihefang.
In the two wars, the Zhang and Wu families lost a total of thirty people. This hatred has long been recorded in the hearts of the Zhang and Wu families.
To this day, Zhang Zhixuan still remembers the innocent people in Xihefang and the fear and despair he felt when he ran for his life that day.
As long as there is a chance, he certainly doesn’t mind taking revenge on the Hu family.
This time, the Wu family took the lead, and Patriarch Wu was in charge of the Qingxuan Sect if something went wrong. Zhang Zhixuan immediately decided to follow Wu Xiang frame and avenge Xihefang’s past.
“Senior Wu has rich experience. We, the Zhang family, are completely at our disposal. We will do whatever he says.”
“Okay, you’re welcome. I’ll arrange my manpower to keep an eye on the Hu family monks. When they leave, we will follow them and kill them all.”
