Chapter 201 Investment
Zhang Zhixuan was meditating in the cave, and suddenly a musical note came in. Zhang Zhixuan opened it and found that Uncle Nineteen had arrived outside the cave.
When Zhang Mengling came back some time ago, Zhang Zhixuan asked him to take charge of the family power on his behalf.
In recent years, Zhang Zhixuan’s cultivation of the purple energy divine light spell has reached a critical juncture, and he has no time to deal with family chores.
Qingchan has a cold temperament and is not willing to spend time on such matters. The clan leader is far away in Chaoyin Mountain and cannot care about it at all.
The three foundation-building monks are not doing anything for the time being, and the family is temporarily lacking a head monk. The only person with the ability and prestige to manage the family monks is Zhang Mengling, the nineteenth uncle.
Zhang Zhixuan opened the door of the cave, introduced Zhang Mengling into the cave, and joked: “Uncle Nineteen has just come back. It is not easy for your lovely wife and concubine to wait for ten years. If you are not at home to accompany them, how can you come to me when you are free?” Come here?”
“I know that your cultivation has reached a critical juncture recently. If I could make the decision, I would naturally not trouble you. But now there is a big matter at home, and you have to come forward in person.” Zhang Mengling has a cold personality and does not like to joke. He did not answer Zhang Zhixuan’s words. , directly stating the purpose of his visit.
“Didn’t I say that if something big happens, Uncle Nineteen can make the decision on my behalf, and just let me know afterwards. Why do you want me to come forward in person?” Zhang Zhixuan asked strangely.
“Taohuatan Gu Chengxun wrote a letter the day before yesterday, hoping to bring his disciples and descendants to join my family. Gu Chengxun has been practicing to the ninth level of Qi training for many years. In order to show his respect, I want Zhixuan, a foundation-building monk, to meet him in person before making a decision.”
There is a second-level high-grade spiritual vein in Peach Blossom Pond. It used to belong to a small family, but was later seized by three ninth-level Qi-training monks. Gu Chengxun is one of the three casual cultivators at the ninth level of Qi training. This person has been practicing at the ninth level of Qi training for more than forty years. He is considered one of the more famous casual cultivators in Taicheng County.
What’s even more remarkable is that this person has a unique inheritance of alchemy skills, and his alchemy level is also quite exquisite. He has been a second-level high-grade alchemist for more than 40 years, and his level is estimated to have surpassed that of the ninth uncle Zhang Mengquan.
Gu Chengxun’s willingness to join the Zhang family was beyond Zhang Zhixuan’s expectations.
In recent years, the Zhang family has naturalized many casual cultivators, most of whom are people with poor spiritual roots and low abilities. None of them have a cultivation level as good as Gu Chengxun.
According to this person’s ability, even if he works as a casual cultivator in Taicheng County, with Xihefang as his back, he can still live a very prosperous life.
In the past two hundred years, after the decline of the Zhang family, Gu Chengxun was the first alchemist to join the Zhang family. If this person is willing to join the Zhang family, he will be able to take charge of his own business immediately. Zhang Zhixuan should indeed go to see this person in person.
Gu Chengxun came to surrender, not alone, but also with his wife, son and daughter. The few disciples he had accepted in his early years all followed him to Tiantai Peak.
Zhang Zhixuan and Zhang Mengling, in order to show their welcome to Gu Chengxun, personally went down the mountain to wait at Zhike Pavilion, and took Gu Chengxun to Tiantai Peak in a very grand manner.
After Gu Chengxun’s clan members were settled, Zhang Zhixuan personally brought Gu Chengxun to Wangyue Pavilion.
The two sat down separately. Gu Chengxun took the initiative to take out a book from his arms and handed it to Zhang Zhixuan. He was the first to say: “Senior Zhang, since Gu has come to vote, we will be a family from now on. This Gu’s Alchemy Formula Even if it’s a meeting ceremony for me to join the Zhang family, I’ll have to rely on Senior Zhang’s protection in the future.”
Although I had long heard that Gu Chengxun’s alchemy inheritance was quite extraordinary, but today when I looked at Zhang Zhixuan, I discovered that the Gu’s Alchemy Book actually contains nine kinds of alchemy recipes, including two third-level elixirs. Among the two third-level elixir recipes, one of the elixirs reached the third-level mid-level. As long as Zhang Zhixuan refines this kind of elixir, his alchemy skills can also break through the third-level mid-level.
Seeing this, Zhang Zhixuan’s face changed, and he said with a slightly gloomy expression: “Gu Daoyou, we Ming people don’t tell secrets. The things in your hands are very valuable, even if you get them from Qingxuan Sect, they are very valuable, and they are enough for Qingxuan Sect to break the rules.” If you take a fellow Taoist as your disciple, you will receive many rewards for your good deeds. Why should such a precious treasure passed down from your Taoist family be entrusted to our little Zhang family?
If Taoist Fellow Gu can’t explain the reason clearly, I’m afraid our Zhang family’s temple is too small to accommodate such a great god as Taoist Fellow Gu. “
Gu Chengxunchengfu was very deep, his expression remained unchanged and he said slowly: “Our ancestors were originally monks of the Xuansu Sect of the Wu Kingdom. My grandfather was inclined to the leader Liu Lingjun. In the end, he was defeated and had to flee and leave the Wu Kingdom. He hid in the Wu Kingdom anonymously. The world of immortality in Yu State.
A hundred years ago, in the Southern Wilderness, my grandfather killed a foundation-building monk in order to compete for a magical elixir. It was later revealed that this man was Li Ziyuan, the alchemist of the Qingxuan Sect. The Li family has been rooted in Qingxuanzong for five generations, and their relationship is complicated. They have become enemies with their family. Once the news about our visit to Qingxuanzong is leaked, it will be like a sheep in the tiger’s mouth, and our lives may not be saved. “
Although Li Ziyuan died, his son Li Zhang has successfully built the foundation, and his cultivation has reached the seventh level of foundation building. Even alchemy is better than his own, and he has reached the third level of high-grade, far surpassing Zhang Zhixuan.
Among the foundation-building monks of Qingxuan Sect, Li Zhang is also a relatively important monk. His status in Qingxuan Sect is no less than that of Han Yan, and he can be regarded as the core person among the foundation-building disciples.
Moreover, Li Zhang had a close relationship with the Wu family. His master was Wu Siheng’s direct younger brother. This person’s relationship in Qingxuan Sect was far stronger than that of ordinary monks in the foundation-building period. He is a person who has the energy to establish relationships with Wu Siheng, Lu Hongniang and other Zifu monks.
Zhang Zhixuan knew a little bit about this person, but he still kept an eye on it and continued to ask: “Since Taoist friend’s family can be stable in Taicheng County for a hundred years, it means that the Taoist friend’s ancestors must have done this matter very cleanly. There is a hidden danger left, why should we be afraid that Li Zhang will notice it?”
Gu Chengxun smiled bitterly and said: “Although the news was not revealed back then, it was a pity that my family was unlucky and my direct brother was a greedy man. He drank a few glasses of spiritual wine in Xihefang, and when he was drunk, he bragged about the news to others. It was accidentally leaked, and what was even worse was that the Wu family heard it.
He was kidnapped by the Wu family just after he left Xihefang. If a friend hadn’t seen this scene and notified me in advance, I would have been kept in the dark when the family was exterminated. “
If Wu Sixeng didn’t come forward, the Zhang family would still be able to withstand Li Zhang’s pressure. Although Zhang Chuyun has been inactive for many years, he still has some dignity among the senior officials of Qingxuan Sect. In terms of high-level relations with the Qingxuan Sect, the Zhang family surpassed the Li family.
Moreover, Zhang Hanyan’s spiritual roots are extraordinary and she has now reached the seventh level of cultivation. Her status in the Qingxuan Sect is no lower than that of Li Zhang. Her path seems further and more stable than that of Li Zhang at a glance.
Without the senior officials of the sect to come forward, just Li Zhang could not scare Zhang Zhixuan.
The Gu family’s elixir recipe is very extraordinary, and his family’s inheritance is enough for Zhang Zhixuan to risk offending Li Zhang and protect Gu Chengxun’s family.
