Chapter 191 Gold Thread
After taking away the spiritual objects from Qingliang Mountain, Zhang Zhixuan and others immediately returned to Yuntai Mountain to obey the order without delay.
Because of the shrinkage of the Hongshan Sect, the Qingxuan Sect occupied the prosperous Jiangkou County with almost no war. With the help of eleven foundation-building monks and their casual disciples, the Qingxuan Sect monks quickly took root in Jiangkou County. .
Some of the local families in Jiangkou County moved to Taihong Mountain, and some were exterminated by the Qingxuan Sect. The local mortals were also divided up by these Black Mountain monks.
These Black Mountain monks are preparing to marry and take concubines on a large scale among the local mortals and establish their own families. Their disciples are the vassals of these foundation-building families.
Easily occupying the fourth-level spiritual vein of Yuntai Mountain, Qingxuan Sect will naturally not give up. Occupying Yuntai Mountain will not only weaken the potential of Hongshan Sect, but also serve as a frontier to resist Hongshan Sect, protecting Jiangkou County and Taicheng County. hinterland.
Therefore, on Yuntai Mountain, Qingxuan Sect must station monks on a large scale to resist the invasion of Hongshan Sect monks at any time. Qingxuan Sect paid more attention to this fourth-level spiritual vein than Chaoyin Mountain, and even used the sect’s treasury to set up a fourth-level high-level formation, and also arranged for Shen Conglong, Zhu Wuya, and Wang Chengxiang to The monks from Zifu guarded the mountain gate for a long time.
In Chaoyin Mountain, which is closest to Yuntai Mountain, Qingxuanzong also arranged for Sun Changgeng and Han Wangpeng to be ready to reinforce Zhu Wuya and the others at any time.
Just on both sides of the Duanyun Mountains, Qingxuan Sect has deployed five Zifu monks. With these five Zifu monks guarding them, as long as the Hongshan Sect does not attack desperately, they can basically defend these two fourth-level spiritual veins.
Even Patriarch Jin was hiding in Jiangkou County, ready to ambush Yang Wangyuan who came out at any time.
This time’s battle at Chaoyin Mountain can be said to have broken the backbone of the Hongshan Sect. If another war breaks out and a few Zifu monks are injured, this sect may really be wiped out by the Qingxuan Sect.
Ancestor Yang of the Hongshan Sect was also aware of this situation, so he did not dare to start another dispute without being completely sure.
Without the intervention of the Hongshan Sect, Jiangkou County was quickly calmed down. Zhang Zhixuan and others stayed in Yuntai Mountain for more than half a year. After everything stabilized, they followed Sun Changgeng and his two men back to Chaoyin Mountain.
This time when they crossed Duanyun Mountain, there was no battle at all as Zhang Zhixuan had expected. It was almost like an outing, and they easily pacified Jiangkou County.
Jiangkou County is richer than Taicheng County. It was developed earlier. Both spiritual fields and spiritual objects are richer than Taicheng County.
Although Zhang Zhixuan and the others went to Jiangkou County this time easily, they gained a lot.
Zhang Zhixuan and Qing Chan were given a golden silkworm, a treasure that was very important to the Zhang family.
The golden silkworm is a second-level high-grade spiritual insect. It can spit out a spiritual object made of black gold threads. This spiritual object is also a second-order high-grade spiritual insect.
Xuanjin silk can be woven into Lingyun yarn, which can be used to refine monks’ robes, flags, calligraphy and paintings, scrolls and other magical weapons, which is very useful for a family.
In the entire Taicheng County, only the Liu family in Taibai Mountain caught golden silkworms in their early years and successfully domesticated them. This precious spiritual insect can bring high profits to the Liu family every year, almost as much as those of the Zhang family. White jade bee.
The reason why Zhang Zhixuan was able to get this kind of treasure was mainly because of his life-saving grace to Wu Xiangjian and Liu Zixuan.
On Chaoyin Mountain, if Zhang Zhixuan had not rescued them, both of them would have died, so when they encountered good things, it was difficult for them to compete with Zhang Zhixuan.
In addition to four golden silkworms, Zhang Zhixuan and Qingchan also brought a dozen spiritual mulberry trees. These spiritual mulberry trees are necessary for domesticating golden silkworms, and their grades have reached the second-level low-grade. Each plant is more than a foot tall and weighs several hundred kilograms, and cannot be placed in a storage bag.
In order to transport these spiritual mulberry trees back to Taicheng County, Zhang Zhixuan was also worried.
He personally spent six hundred spiritual stones, hired a dozen Qingxuan Sect foundation-building monks, and carefully carried the dozen spiritual mulberry trees across the Duanyun Mountain Range. Even Qing Chan was no exception. He personally carried a spiritual mulberry tree and spent more than forty days before crossing the Duanyun Mountains and returning to Chaoyin Mountain.
When we arrived at Chaoyin Mountain, it was easier to walk along the way, and the Zhang family also had a mixed transportation team of cloud-walking beasts and fire dragon colts. They customized some huge special vehicles and quickly delivered these spiritual mulberry trees to Tiantai Peak.
Therefore, under the command of the seventh uncle Zhang Mengyuan, the family planted more than a dozen spiritual mulberry trees near Wangyue Pavilion, and then arranged for monks to take care of the golden silkworms.
Compared to the ferocious White Jade Bee, golden silkworms are quite gentle. As long as there are enough mulberry leaves for them to eat, they will sleep quietly in the silkworm house.
When it’s time to spin silk, they will also spin black gold threads into special silk sacs. Four golden silkworms spit out a total of about three kilograms of golden silk in a year.
In just one year, the accumulated black gold thread can be woven into an eight-foot Lingyun yarn, which can be used to refine three second-level top-grade robes worth more than three hundred spirit stones.
Unfortunately, the ninth brother Zhang Zhifan did not know how to refine the robes, so the family could only sell the eight feet of black gold wire to Qingxuan Sect every year, which could be exchanged for about 200 spiritual stones.
Two hundred spirit stones a year is a very powerful supplement for a strong foundation-building family like the Zhang family.
The clan leader and the others had heard about spiritual insects like golden silkworms for a long time. This time they saw the real thing, and they were very concerned about this spiritual insect.
The best spiritual planter in the family, Qi Bo, personally transplanted the mulberry trees. Although the mulberry trees lost some of their vitality due to the long journey, under Qi Bo’s careful care, most of the transplants were successful.
With the mulberry leaves on the Lingmulberry tree, it is easier to domesticate golden silkworms.
However, the Golden Silkworms were second-order high-grade spiritual insects after all, so the family still sent an elder to look after them all year round.
This elder is also a newcomer, this person is Zhang Zhixuan’s eleventh brother Zhang Zhijing.
Zhang Zhijing’s spiritual roots were not good, and he was only a four-spiritual root monk. However, he had a strong character and was diligent in his cultivation. At the age of fifty-four, he broke through the ninth level of Qi training and became an elder of the family.
Now, the monks of the Zhizi generation have finally grown up. According to Zhang Zhixuan’s estimation, in the future, at least three people will be able to break through the ninth level of Qi training before the age of sixty.
Less than two months after Uncle Seventeen died in Chaoyin Mountain, Zhang Zhijing made a breakthrough. There are still seven elders of the ninth level of Qi training in the family, but the monks of the Zhi generation have now grown up and make up the majority.
Although there are already seven ninth-level qi-training monks, the family stall has continued to expand over the years and there are still not enough people.
Uncle Nineteen is in charge of the business of Baibao Pavilion in Heishan, and he cannot do without people for the time being. Uncle Seventeen is over a hundred years old, and he is dedicated to taking care of the family’s spiritual field, and it will not work if he leaves it outside.
The eleventh uncle is in charge of the family’s rules and regulations. He is devoted to cultivating at Tiantai Peak. Due to his old age and frailty, he is basically away from Lishan now.
The second brother Zhang Zhihe is an alchemist and is tied up in Xihefang. The family’s business in Xihefang is now under his control.
Ninth brother Zhang Zhifan leads people to guard the spiritual veins of Ten Thousand Snake Cave. Even fourth brother Zhang Zhian, who is good at raising horses, is responsible for keeping an eye on the family’s transportation team to prevent other families from secretly breeding and affecting the Zhang family’s financial resources.
Moreover, Chaoyin Mountain also needs a ninth-level qi-training elder who is responsible for managing the monks stationed by the family. Golden Silkworm also needs people here. Black Python Mountain, although the scale of Qingang stone mined is not large, it is best to send A family elder takes charge of the overall situation and can communicate with the Zhou family at any time.
The family’s stalls are getting bigger and bigger, and the number of key monks is becoming increasingly scarce. It will take a few years to alleviate this situation.
