Chapter 152: Accepting Li
Although Zhang Mengjian did not dare to open Zhang Zhixuan’s letters, when he came to Montenegro, he still heard the news that Zhang Zhixuan had captured two Foundation Establishment Pills. This news spread widely in Montenegro, and almost everyone knew about it.
Zhang Mengqian was over seventy years old and quite experienced in dealing with people. He almost calmly accepted Zhang Zhixuan’s letter. He showed no abnormality and followed Liu Zixuan and the others back to Taicheng County.
As soon as he returned to Taicheng County, he ran back to Lushan without stopping with the letter and handed it to Zhang Leqian personally.
Zhang Leqian left Zhang Mengqian and opened the letter to find out Zhang Zhixuan’s situation in Black Mountain.
Zhang Leqian also had no objections to Zhang Zhixuan’s agreement to Wang Luyuan’s request.
Looking at the current situation, the Wang family estimates that there will be no monks suitable for foundation building within a few decades.
The Zhang family has over a hundred monks and a population of tens of thousands, while the Wang family has only a few dozen people and only five or six monks. After decades of intermarriage, the blood of the Wang family will be the blood of the Zhang family.
It can be said that Zhang Zhixuan obtained a foundation-building pill for his family at almost no cost.
Compared with Zhang Leqian’s conservativeness, Zhang Zhixuan’s family development appears to be more radical. However, compared to the Chen family that has grown and developed in Longjiang County in recent hundreds of years, Zhang Zhixuan’s radicalness is far from nothing.
Chen Yutian, the ancestor of the Chen family, took hundreds of concubines in order to open up the family. These concubines of his are like domestic prostitutes. Whenever friends, guests, or even gatherings of casual cultivators come, he will use these concubines to entertain guests and borrow seeds.
After more than a hundred years like this, Chen Yutian used these concubines to spread his business and give birth to more than 200 children. Although most of these children were not from his bloodline, they relied on borrowing seeds from monks.
The next generation of Chen family’s monks actually reached more than 40 people. Their development speed far surpassed that of the Zhang family’s ancestor Zhang Tairen, and they soon laid the foundation of a family that built a foundation for cultivating immortals.
The ancestor of the Zhang family, Zhang Tairen, could be considered a fertile monk, and his children only had seven spiritual roots. If it weren’t for Zhang Chuyun, a genius son, the Zhang family would be far less prosperous than the Chen family.
Although Chen Yutian, the founder of the Chen family, has been criticized by others, his family’s rules are the most open among the dozen or so families in the three counties in the southeast.
In his later years, he even established a retainer system in the Chen family, attracting a large number of casual cultivators into the family.
Their disciples can easily join the family and integrate their blood into the Chen family.
Although Chen Yutian’s direct bloodline is now somewhat weak in the Chen family, the Chen family founded by Chen Yutian is really becoming more and more prosperous.
Zhang Zhixuan is not as unruly as Chen Yutian, but he can also learn some good systems of the Chen family and assimilate the weak small family, which is very beneficial to the family.
The assimilated monks can not only replenish the family’s fresh blood, but also improve the family’s bloodline, making the descendants of the family more likely to have spiritual roots.
If you want the assimilated monks from a small family to have a sense of identity, you must treat everyone equally and fairly. To enforce this rule, you must rely on the constraints of the family rules and regulations.
Enforcement of sect rules is strict, and only by respecting the rules can one achieve this.
Zhang Leqian received the letter, thought carefully about it all night, and finally decided not to follow Zhang Zhixuan’s wishes, but decided to go to Qingxuan Sect to find Han Yan. Then he, Han Yan and Qing Chan would go to Montenegro to meet Zhang Zhixuan.
According to Zhang Zhixuan’s intention, returning with the Ma family’s transport team will take a long time and the risk will be greater. Secondly, the Ma family may be jealous. Then there will be ghosts on their way, and it will be very troublesome to cooperate with the Black Mountain loose cultivators. .
It would be better to go to Qingxuanzong to find Han Yan. When Zhang Zhixuan gets off Black Mountain, the four of them will fly with their swords. It only takes about twenty days to return to Black Mountain safely.
Zhang Leqian made up his mind and immediately went to Qingxuanzong to find Han Yan.
After six or seven years of practice, Han Yan’s practice has progressed relatively quickly, and he has broken through to the fourth level of Foundation Establishment in the past few years and has become a mid-stage Foundation Establishment monk.
In exchange for the Jade Bee Pill for the Zhang family, Han Yan promised to take care of the White Jade Bee Hive for Qingxuanzong for thirty years. Now only eleven years have passed, and Han Yan has no free time to go down the mountain.
In order to go to Montenegro to rescue Zhang Zhixuan, Han Yan could only plead with Li Zigong, the elder in charge of the Qingxuan Sect’s General Affairs Hall, to agree to extend the mission for another five years before taking a year’s leave to leave the mountain.
Time was running out, and Han Yan barely had time to greet the clan leader, so the two of them hurried back to Lushan. Before Han Yan had time to meet her mother, the two went to Lingjing Mountain to find Qingchan, and immediately rushed to Heishan in a swift and resolute manner.
Four months have passed from the time the clan leader received the letter to the time the three of them arrived in Black Mountain.
After Zhang Zhixuan received the Foundation Establishment Pill, he had been in Montenegro for nearly a year and a half.
In the past year and a half, he has never left Montenegro, his cautious and steady approach. The monk who secretly plotted against him was filled with hatred, but there was nothing he could do against him.
Zhang Zhixuan was sitting in the Baibao Pavilion practicing when he suddenly received a messenger from the clan leader. After being trapped in the Black Mountain for more than a year, Zhang Zhixuan felt seriously bored.
Hearing that the three clan leaders were waiting thirty miles away under the Black Mountain, Zhang Zhixuan immediately put away the letter, quickly took two Foundation Establishment Pills, and immediately left the Black Mountain.
As soon as Zhang Zhixuan left, three sword lights followed him.
Several people descended from the Black Mountain one after another. Just thirty miles outside the Black Mountain, several Black Mountain cultivators were ready to catch up and take action. Suddenly, they found that three sword lights were flying quickly, tightly protecting Zhang Zhixuan in the middle.
These three sword lights are from the clan leader, Han Yan and Qing Chan. Among the three of them, there are already two monks in the middle stage of foundation building.
Even Qing Chan, who had just built the foundation, was also equipped with a top-quality magical weapon, and the conditions were far better than when Zhang Zhixuan had just built the foundation. On her body was not only the third-grade high-grade soul-drawing flag, but also the aura sword and tiger-tooth dagger given to her by Zhang Zhixuan after she established her foundation.
The Spiritual Light Sword is Lu Yi’an’s flying sword. It was rarely used after being captured by Zhang Zhixuan. Qing Chan gave it to her after building the foundation. The Tiger Tooth Dagger was a dagger made by Chen Hongyuan using the teeth of the Canglan Tiger and was also given to Qing Chan by Zhang Zhixuan. .
A monk on the seventh level of foundation building saw a few sword lights, his face suddenly changed, and he cursed bitterly: “It’s Zhang Leqian, the bastard, who is here. As long as this bastard can’t be beaten, he will use the fourth-level thunder talisman to hit people.
Decades ago, a Yuangang thunder talisman severely damaged Wei Mazi’s vitality and made a monk on the eighth level of the Foundation a weakling for decades. A dozen years ago, a Tiangang divine thunder talisman even blew up the unlucky guy Lu Yi’an. Turn into ashes.
Forget it, who knows if Zhang Leqian, a son of a bitch, still has a fourth-level thunder talisman. It would be nice to have a monk from the Zifu period as an ancestor! “
Seeing that the leading late-stage foundation-building monk retreated, another mid-stage foundation-building monk also looked ugly and cursed: “Although this little bastard Zhang Zhixuan is young, he is also cunning. He has not revealed any loopholes in the past year and a half. He With Zhang Leqian and Zhang Hanyan, three middle-stage foundation-building monks, and a strange foundation-building monk who also has a third-level high-grade magic weapon, the Zhang family does not have the divine thunder talisman, so the three of us may not have a chance of winning this transaction. I can’t do it anymore, the risk is too great.”
The three of them discussed it and felt that the risk was already very high, so they reluctantly returned to Montenegro and gave up the trouble of Zhang Zhixuan and others.
