Chapter 148 Baibao Pavilion Appears
After notifying the clan leader and asking him to protect Qingchan, Zhang Zhixuan immediately flew to Black Mountain.
There are no monks in the Qi training period to drag him down, and there is no need to fly around. After more than ten days of continuous flying, Zhang Zhixuan already felt a little tired after arriving in Black Mountain.
He was about to find an inn to stay for the night when he suddenly saw that the Baibao Pavilion sign was covered in dust.
Seeing the Baibao Pavilion store, Zhang Zhixuan seemed to recall the first time he came to Montenegro. At that time, he was refining elixirs in the Baibao Pavilion under the pseudonym Zhou Boyong, and scenes from the past seemed to still echo before his eyes. ,
Zhang Zhixuan entered the gate of Baibao Pavilion involuntarily, and suddenly found that Baibao Pavilion had hung white flags today.
This shop seemed to have been neglected for a long time. The counter was covered in dust and looked like it had been in decline for a long time.
Seeing Zhang Zhixuan come in, the two idle monks did not entertain him. They said without raising their heads: “I’m sorry, the shop is about to close.” The speaker was not young, but his cultivation level was not very high. , only the sixth level of Qi training.
This person looked up and unexpectedly recognized Zhang Zhixuan.
After not seeing each other for more than 20 years, when this man saw that Zhang Zhixuan had already established the foundation, a look of surprise suddenly appeared on his face, and then he said respectfully: “I didn’t expect that the person who came was Senior Zhou. We haven’t seen each other for many years, but Senior Zhou actually succeeded in establishing the foundation. Senior Zhou is a blessed person, good people have their own destiny!”
The speaker’s name is Wang Luyuan. He is Wang Zixuan’s nephew in terms of seniority, but he is older than Wang Zixuan. His cultivation back then was only at the second level of Qi Cultivation. More than twenty years later, he could only reach the sixth level of Qi Cultivation without any shortage of resources. This shows that this person’s basic skills are really bad.
“Fellow Daoist Wang, I saw white flags hung at the door of the shop. I wonder who in your family has passed away?”
“I don’t dare to work with fellow Taoist Senior Zhou. It was my aunt Wang Zixuan who passed away some time ago.”
“Wang Shaodong is still young, and her cultivation level is pretty good. For what reason did she pass away?”
“It’s not because of the Foundation Establishment Pill. Our ancestor lost his life in the Hanjiao Pond in order to rescue Ancestor Liang. In order to raise merit, Old Ancestor Liang promised to give us a Foundation Establishment Pill. Some time ago, Patriarch Liang refined it After taking the Foundation Establishment Pill, Aunt Zixuan was about to use this Foundation Establishment Pill to build the foundation. Unexpectedly, she encountered an accident and fell down the Black Mountain as if she was sleepwalking. She was shattered to pieces on the spot. “
“Senior Wang Songhe died for Patriarch Liang back then. How could he not care about something like this?” Zhang Zhixuan asked strangely.
Wang Luyuan said with a bitter smile: “Alas! Patriarch Liang didn’t care. After the incident, he also sent three disciples to investigate continuously. In the end, it was found that my aunt died of the ecstasy Gu, and there were no other clues. However, The ancestor still wants to give this foundation-building pill to my family, but in the current situation, my family has the highest cultivation level of Qi Refining, even if it is jealous, it is impossible to keep this spiritual pill.”
Although the Foundation Establishment Pill is good, it is also a big trouble for the current Wang family.
No one in the Wang family has the opportunity to build a foundation now. This foundation building pill is a hot potato, and it is easy to burn your hand if you are not careful.
“What are your future plans, fellow Daoist Wang?” Zhang Zhixuan asked.
“What other plans can we have? We are just hanging on to survive. I am ready to give up the Foundation Establishment Pill, and the Baibao Pavilion is also ready to close. Anyway, the old ancestor still left some spiritual stones, which are enough for us to live in Black Mountain for many years.”
Zhang Zhixuan glanced at Wang Luyuan unexpectedly and found that he was far more knowledgeable about current affairs than Wang Zixuan.
“Although Wang Luyuan has poor spiritual roots and low cultivation level, he is much smarter than Wang Zixuan. If this person had been the head of the family back then, the Wang family might have prospered one day. Unfortunately, this person has poor spiritual roots and low cultivation level, so everything can only be done According to Wang Zixuan, her family is already extremely weak, but they still want to take over the Baibao Pavilion business. This behavior is like a child holding gold in a busy city, and it will only attract the greed of others.
If Wang Zixuan had given up everything and devoted herself to practicing in seclusion on the Black Mountain, with the protection of Ancestor Liang, she might have been able to build a foundation one day. “
“Fellow Daoist Wang, since you have nowhere to go for the time being, why not follow us back to Lushan? My surname is not actually Zhou, nor is my name Zhou Boyong. My surname is Zhang Zhixuan. I come from Tiantai Peak in Lushan. Our Zhang family is also one of the five major families in Taicheng County. There are only two Foundation Establishment Stage monks now, which is enough to protect the Foundation Establishment Pill in your hands.
After your family members follow me back to Lushan, they can practice on our family’s spiritual lineage, and their welfare benefits will be the same as our family’s.
Even the Foundation Establishment Pill in your hands can be left to you for safekeeping. But after we go to Lushan, our two families will marry each other and completely merge their blood lines.
Relying on the resources of our family, monks with the blood of the Wang family will be able to build the foundation in a few decades.
Our family’s clan rules have always been inclusive and do not discriminate against outsiders. I have worked with you for a long time, and you know my character well. If you are worried, I can make a blood oath with these words today. “
After Zhang Zhixuan established the foundation, he has always wanted to expand the family, but the family’s population size is there, and there are very few monks born every year. It may take hundreds of years to rely on the family’s own fertility and growth.
Therefore, Zhang Zhixuan planned to make the family’s rules and regulations more open and incorporate some of the blood of other families. Last time something happened to the Zhou family in Hongliu Mountain, Zhang Zhixuan had this idea.
The Wang family is small and has precious resources such as the Foundation Establishment Pill and the Baibao Pavilion. Zhang Zhixuan very much hopes that the Wang family can integrate into the Zhang family.
The prosperity of the Wang family began with Wang Songhe. Their ancestors were mortals and there were very few monks in the family.
Wang Songhe and Wang Lianke died in Hanjiaotan. Their family’s martial arts were passed down by word of mouth. With the two people with the highest cultivation level gone, you can imagine how difficult it is for the rest of the Wang family to practice.
Although Wang Luyuan still has a lot of spiritual stones in his hand, his cultivation level is very low and he also knows that wealth should not be revealed, so he does not dare to publicize the purchase of cultivation techniques.
“Senior Zhang was a man of his word when he was refining pills in the Baibao Pavilion, and he was even willing to swear a bloodline oath. With this guarantee, this foundation-building pill will definitely fall into the hands of the descendants of the Wang family, even though They may be assimilated by the Zhang family in the future, but this is already the best outcome.
On the Black Mountain, there are jackals, tigers and leopards everywhere, eager to swallow us all up. With a well-informed Foundation Establishment Stage monk as a guarantee, he can still give us the same treatment as the Zhang family, what else can we do? “
Wang Luyuan weighed the pros and cons in his mind, and he was immediately tempted by Zhang Zhixuan’s proposal. He agreed almost on the spot and merged the remaining Wang family members into the Zhang family.
Soon, Wang Luyuan told Patriarch Liang about the collective joining of the Zhang family.
Now Wang Luyuan is the patriarch of the Wang family, and Patriarch Liang didn’t care much about his decision, and happily gave the Foundation Establishment Pill to Wang Luyuan.
Zhang Zhixuan also kept his promise, discovered the blood oath on the spot, and handed the Foundation Establishment Pill to Wang Luyuan for safekeeping.
Wang Luyuan’s cultivation level was still low, and he didn’t feel safe at all with the Foundation Establishment Pill in his hand. He followed Zhang Zhixuan almost step by step, fearing that someone would plot against him.
Zhang Zhixuan is a monk in the middle stage of foundation building, so it is safer to be with him after all.
