Chapter 203 Locust
Yu Wanling and Han Yan have had a good relationship over the years. As long as Han Yan writes a letter, he can ask this person to come forward and accept a disciple.
Being able to learn some skills from Yu Wanling will be of great help to Zhang Zhen’s future.
Although Zhang Zhixuan made it clear that he would not help Zhang Zhen redeem the Foundation Establishment Pill, he was still willing to take a favor and introduce a master to Zhang Zhen. Although this favor was easy for Zhang Zhixuan, it was a huge kindness to Zhang Luo’s ancestors and grandsons. .
Zhang Luo was also aware of current affairs and took Zhang Zhen to kowtow to Zhang Zhixuan several times. Even though Zhang Zhixuan tried his best to refuse, Zhang Zhen still bowed three times and kowtowed nine times to express his gratitude to Zhang Zhixuan for his great kindness.
Han Yan took Zhang Zhixuan to find Yu Wanling in person. When he saw Zhang Zhixuan and the other two, Yu Wanling was very polite and agreed to accept him as a disciple before even meeting Zhang Zhen.
In order to express his gratitude to Yu Wanling, Zhang Zhixuan also copied a copy of Gu’s elixir prescription and gave it to Zhang Zhen as an apprenticeship gift to repay the favor.
Yu Wanling’s alchemy skills are far inferior to Li Zhang’s, and this alchemy book will help Yu Wanling even more. This precious gift will not only make Yu Wanling pay more attention to Zhang Zhen, but also bring the Zhang family closer to him.
The relationship between monks is the same as that between mortals. Only by moving around frequently and exchanging benefits can we get better and better. If we don’t interact with each other for many years, no matter how good the relationship is, it will gradually become alienated and become like a stranger.
After leaving Yu Wanling, Han Yan’s short vacation has come again. She will have to look after the white jade hive in the elixir garden for thirteen years before she can regain her freedom.
In the past twenty years in the Spiritual Medicine Garden, due to the abundant spiritual energy and lack of resources for cultivating immortals, Han Yan has cultivated very quickly. Like Zhang Zhixuan, he can break through the first level in almost a few years. Now he has built the seventh level, which can be regarded as He is the core person of Qingxuanzong’s foundation disciples.
Zhang Zhixuan said goodbye to Han Yan and returned to Tiantai Peak.
He had just been relaxing for a few days when a terrible news came from Black Mountain and spread throughout Taicheng County in a short time.
A serious locust plague broke out on the Black Mountain. The spiritual rice on the mountain was devoured by the violent locusts.
This locust plague on the Black Mountain came very strangely. In just one day, the Black Mountain was covered with countless huge locusts. Among these ferocious and terrifying locusts, there were even many demonic insects.
Even though Patriarch Liang personally took action and killed the most powerful fourth-level insect king, a large part of the locusts still escaped from Black Mountain and swarmed towards Taicheng County.
The large-scale reduction in the production of spiritual rice on the Black Mountain has put great pressure on Taicheng County. Without enough spiritual rice, the large number of casual cultivators on the Black Mountain cannot sustain themselves.
If these people cannot hold on in Heishan, they will have no choice but to return to the nearest Taicheng County. The return of large-scale casual cultivators will impact the order of Taicheng County, and the place will soon fall into chaos and war.
Even for the sake of the stability of Taicheng County, Zhang Wuliu and other families who control the city must vigorously support the Heishan Liang Patriarch to stabilize the situation and control the Heishan casual cultivators.
As the Zhang family’s vitality has recovered over the years, the family has opened up a lot of spiritual fields over the years. Counting the spiritual fields in Jiuhua Mountain, the family’s spiritual fields total more than 80 acres.
The Liu family in Taibai Mountain has always been famous for its large number of spiritual fields. They have opened up hundreds of acres of spiritual fields in Taibai Mountain, and the family’s food reserves have always been sufficient.
News from Black Mountain came, and Zhang Zhixuan immediately sent a letter to Qingchan to blockade Lingjing Mountain. The monks who plant the spiritual fields will have to dig up the soil every day starting from today to check for suspicious insect eggs.
The locust plague on the Black Mountain caused serious harm because the eggs were hidden in the spiritual field. All of them hatched out in one day and cooperated with the insect king inside and outside to break through the protection on the Black Mountain.
Not only the spiritual rice, but also the elixir garden of Patriarch Liang suffered heavy losses. All the precious elixirs that had been cultivated for hundreds of years were devoured by locusts.
In the end, relying on the formation, Patriarch Liang killed the fourth-order Insect King and suppressed the locust plague, but it was far from being able to recover this loss.
The Zhang family also invested a lot of resources in the spiritual medicine garden in Lingjing Mountain. Most of the dozens of precious spiritual herbs in the spiritual medicine garden are two to three hundred years old, and their combined value exceeds tens of thousands of spiritual stones, so they must not be lost.
After settling down at home, Zhang Zhixuan immediately hurried to Yan Laifeng.
Yanlai Peak is three thousand miles south of Lushan. It is the third-level spiritual vein closest to Black Mountain among the foundation-building families in Taicheng County. The Wu family has been running Yanlai Peak for six hundred years, and the protection of the mountain gate is far better than that of Tiantai Peak.
Even the Hongshan Sect monks failed to break through Yanlai Peak’s protection last time. Instead, they lost troops and generals and were disgraced.
If the locust plague really comes to Taicheng County, Yanlaifeng will definitely bear the brunt and be the first to encounter these ferocious locusts.
The five major families in Taicheng County have a close relationship. If they can stop the terrible locust plague at Yanlai Peak, it will certainly be beneficial to the Zhang family in Lushan Mountain.
After Zhang Zhixuan came to Yanlaifeng, he met Liu Zixuan, the head of the Liu family in Taibai Mountain.
The Liu family almost completely relies on the family spiritual field for survival, and they pay more attention to such things. When they saw Zhang Zhixuan, Liu Zixuan said with a worried look: “Since the battle of Chaoyin Mountain, we have finally been stable for a few days, but there has been another trouble in Black Mountain. This kind of chaos, I hope we can stop the locust plague in Yanlai Peak this time, otherwise Taicheng County will fall into trouble. “
“Don’t be anxious, Fellow Daoist Liu. Wait for Fellow Daoist Zhu Hun first. When he comes, we will discuss it. We should go to the Southern Wilderness first to see the scale of the locust plague. If there is nothing we can do, we might as well ask the Qingxuan Sect monks for help in advance.” Liu Zixuan looked sad, and Zhang Zhixuan comforted him with a few words.
Liu Zixuan said with emotion: “That’s all we have to do. Fortunately, this locust plague first broke out in Heishan. If it broke out in Taicheng County, with the power of the fourth-order spiritual locusts, our family would be wiped out.”
After listening to Liu Zixuan’s words, Zhang Zhixuan shook his head and said, “Ancestor Liang planted countless precious elixirs in Black Mountain many years ago in order to form elixirs. It is precisely because of the attraction of these precious elixirs that the fourth-level locust demon will Find the Black Mountain. However, this also shows that high-level monsters have gradually moved south. There were no high-level monsters tens of thousands of miles away from the Black Mountain. This time, the fourth-level locust monster appeared, indicating that the next wave of monsters will occur. Chaos is not far away, and I don’t know if Patriarch Liang’s longevity can last until that day. If he is gone, Black Mountain may not be able to defend it. “
Liu Zixuan nodded and said: “Yes, if Heishan cannot be defended, our Taicheng County will become the front line, and we may not be able to operate and develop safely. By then, I am afraid this place will be like Liaoshan County, with people running around everywhere. Monsters, mortal villages and towns also have to rely on monks to guard them, and the pressure is very great. Patriarch Liang opened up Black Mountain, which is actually of great benefit to us in Taicheng County. It is precisely because of the Black Mountain casual cultivators in the front, our Taicheng County. The city and county have developed so rapidly and steadily in recent years.”
