Chapter 215 Two years
After coming out of Taixu Pavilion, Zhang Zhixuan asked the monks below to rest in Black Mountain for three days, and then returned to Lushan with great harvest and satisfaction.
It was desolate when we arrived, and the road along the Locust Road was flat. It took us one and a half months less than usual to reach Black Mountain.
When I went back, the further north I walked, the more greenery there was along the road. Halfway there, the rest of the road was filled with lush wilderness.
Although there are no tall trees blocking the path of the locusts because the locust plague has not yet occurred, the weed seeds blown by the strong wind have already taken root and sprouted, and some have grown several feet high.
Fortunately, those who go to Montenegro to trade are all accomplished monks. If they were ordinary mortals, there would be poisonous insects and miasma all along the road, and they would not be able to travel a hundred thousand miles in such an environment.
The vitality of nature is so tenacious. It is like a strong mother. Even if it is hit a thousand times, it will slowly get up and raise all living things.
Back then, the monks from the upper world fought in the vast sea and scattered the spiritual veins tens of millions of miles away. The continents hundreds of thousands of miles away from the vast sea became a land of extraordinary spirits.
Now that tens of thousands of years have passed, haven’t countries like Yu and Wu slowly begun to recover?
Perhaps in tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of years, the vast sea, a magical place, will become a blessed land of cave heaven, which can accommodate the cultivation of Yuanshen stage monks. Compared to the majestic power of nature, even Yuanshen monks are as humble as ants. Only those who have attained the Tao and become immortals can be free and free.
It took three and a half months of walking when we came here. When we went back, the road was a little more difficult and we walked for more than ten days. This time we went to the Southern Wilderness, because the East Pole Locust opened a path, and it only took seven and a half months to return safely, which saved a lot of time compared to every year.
From the next hundred years, thanks to the East Pole Locust, because there are no big trees blocking the road, although the road to Black Mountain is full of thorns, it will save two months every year compared to the past.
After Zhang Zhixuan led the team back to Lushan, he immediately used two thousand good deeds to exchange Xuanyin Gourd for Qingchan, and then spent another fifteen hundred good deeds to exchange for the Locust Demon Flying Knife.
Although this flying knife was Liang Hanyang’s apology, without the support of his family, even though Zhang Zhixuan had high cultivation and great magical powers, Liang Hanyang might not be able to eradicate the root cause and send people to eliminate him as a hidden danger.
Because Han Yan’s status within Qingxuan Sect has been greatly improved, and the probability of opening the Zi Mansion is very high, he will be taboo about the Zhang family.
After all, Patriarch Liang had a high level of cultivation and it was already sunset, so it was impossible for him to reach out to Qingxuan Sect and affect Han Yan, the rising sun in the east.
Han Yan was in Qingxuanzong, under the care of Wu Siheng, and behind Wu Siheng, there was Lu Hongniang who could form elixirs at any time. Moreover, as her status has improved, she has gained access to Patriarch Chuiyun’s network, and she can even speak in front of Patriarch Jin.
Patriarch Chu Yun was a direct disciple of Taoist Jin Lan, and because he guarded Jiaohefang for the sect, he resisted a fifth-level monster, and was seriously injured and passed away at the mountain gate.
He was only over 240 years old when he was enthroned. For a monk at the Zifu stage, his lifespan was just over half.
Descendants of monks like Han Yan who have made great contributions to the sect will have great priority in the sect when they reach a critical point in their cultivation. When it came time to choose the spiritual objects that would help open up the Purple Mansion, as long as they had good deeds, she would be given priority.
The same was true when exchanging Foundation Establishment Pills. Han Yan’s group of monks only had six Foundation Establishment Pills, but there were as many as 16 Qi Practitioners with 10,000 good skills.
Among these sixteen people, Han Yan was the first to confirm his quota and was the first to redeem the Foundation Establishment Pill.
This is not only because of her good spiritual roots, but also because of her close blood relationship with Patriarch Chuyun. Without this relationship, she would definitely have to wait in line slowly.
After all, she was only thirty-two years old at the time and still had many years to wait.
Among the more than a dozen Zifu seed monks of Qingxuan Sect, Han Yan has already taken a step ahead in the relationship among the upper echelons of the sect. Even though her master, Granny Yunzhi, has been inactive for many years and cannot speak for her, in fact, she has now replaced Granny Yunzhi. , obtained the precious legacy left by Zhang Chuyun.
After all, when Patriarch Chu Yun passed away, his father, brother and sister had all passed away for many years, and the closest blood relationship to him was only a few nephews whom he rarely met. Their reputation in Qingxuan Sect was far inferior to that of Granny Yunzhi.
As for the Zhang family’s family affairs, Granny Yunzhi didn’t want to interfere at all.
After that, Han Yan established the foundation, and not long after Granny Yunzhi passed away, the Zhang family’s relationship network in Qingxuan Sect began to slowly come online.
Coupled with the friends Zhang Zhixuan has made over the years, including Chen Hongyuan and Han Yan’s friends such as He Menglan, the Liu family in Taibai Mountain has two foundation-building monks in the Qingxuan Sect. In terms of high-level relationships, they are far less profound than the Zhang family.
Without the big tree of the Zhang family, now that Patriarch Liang is still alive, Zhang Zhixuan can only be regarded as a small role in Taixu Pavilion. Liang Hanyang does not even bother to apologize to him, and even takes out a precious third-level high-grade magic weapon to eliminate hidden dangers.
Therefore, this magical weapon cannot be regarded as Zhang Zhixuan’s personal belongings, but should be regarded as a family magical weapon.
If Zhang Zhixuan wants this magic weapon, of course he must exchange it for his family’s good deeds.
Zhang Zhixuan has been building the foundation for thirty years, and Qingchan has been building the foundation for more than ten years. The two of them rarely use their family’s good deeds, and have accumulated 4,600 good deeds so far.
After exchanging two high-grade magic weapons, I still have over a thousand left.
After storing this batch of third-level spiritual objects in the family treasury and exchanging talismans, magic tools and other miscellaneous items for Qingchan, Zhang Zhixuan directly used up all the saved good deeds this time.
This year we will be able to refine the Golden Bud Pill, and next year we will refine the Youhuan Pill.
By refining the Golden Bud Pill once, Zhang Zhixuan can earn 500 family merits, and by refining the Youhuan Dan once, he can earn 400. In addition, Qingchan can also draw talismans to earn merits.
After next year, the combined good deeds of two people will exceed one thousand.
In this way, after the storm of the East Pole locusts passed, it was calm for another two years.
Two years later, Zhang Zhixuan was fifty-eight years old, exactly thirty years after the foundation was established.
In the past few months, Qingchan successfully broke through to another level and became a monk in the middle stage of foundation building.
According to this accuracy, Qing Chan will be able to catch up after Zhang Zhixuan enters the eighth level of foundation building. It is estimated that she will reach the ninth level of foundation building a few years earlier than Zhang Zhixuan, and may even be earlier than Han Yan, who is on the seventh level of foundation building.
After two years of preparation, especially after Zhang Zhixuan received a large amount of charity last year, he immediately arranged for family monks to run errands, traveling to places such as Xihefang, Heishan, Jiaohefang, and Qingyangfang, and even crossed the Duanyun Mountains , went to Jiangkou County, and finally found most of the auxiliary elixirs for Miaozhendan.
There was something left that was not enough, Zhang Zhixuan entrusted Han Yan to exchange her sect’s good deeds for the elixir, and then asked someone to bring it back.
By now, Zhang Zhixuan has gathered all the elixirs and is preparing to refine Miao Zhen Dan and become a third-level mid-level alchemist.
He has been waiting for this day for almost twenty years. Compared with the alchemists of Qingxuan Sect, Zhang Zhixuan’s progress has been five to ten years slower.
