Chapter 155 Fire
The patriarch, Zhang Leqian, held a family meeting and suppressed the turmoil in the family with harsh words. However, as the family develops more and more smoothly, it is difficult to reproduce the scene of those years when they risked their lives to jointly strengthen the family.
Without the sense of danger of annihilating the clan at any time, it is difficult for the current elders to sacrifice their lives and die in the southern wasteland like Zhang Zhixuan and others to fulfill the paths of others.
Once faced with such a powerful conflict of interest, no matter how good the relationship is, it will be put aside. If it cannot be handled well, the family will gradually move towards internal strife and is not far from decline.
The most important thing now is the system. Only by strictly following the system will the situation gradually improve.
As the only sect nearby, the Zhang family could only refer to Qingxuan Sect’s system and use good deeds to exchange for foundation-building pills.
Having more good deeds means that he or his ancestors have made great contributions to the family. If the foundation-building pill is given to the monk who has made the greatest contribution, no one else will complain.
But this happened decades later. Now, the spiritual roots of several ninth-level qi-training elders in the family are not considered good. Their foundations are far inferior to those of the previous generation of monks.
Even if a family wants to train monks in the foundation-building stage, they will choose them from young monks below the age of Si.
Since the establishment of the spiritual measuring platform, the family has tested the spiritual roots of all young monks.
Among the monks of the Zhizi generation, because there is no spirit measuring platform, many people have made some mistakes in their choice of exercises, which has also led to the growth of monks of their generation generally being slower.
For the monks of Zhang Zhixuan’s generation, their luck seems to be all concentrated on Zhang Zhixuan. Except for Zhang Zhixuan and Qing Chan, the remaining monks basically have no hope of building a foundation.
The Foundation Building Pill in Zhang Zhixuan’s hand can only be left to the next generation of monks.
One day, Zhang Zhixuan was meditating, and suddenly a transmission note flew in. Zhang Zhixuan took a look and found that the monk who came was Zhang Sihong.
Zhang Sihong’s father and ancestors were both mortals. He has a close blood relationship with his 19th uncle Zhang Mengling, and he is the direct grandnephew of his 19th uncle.
Therefore, his seniority in the family would follow Uncle Nineteen. Otherwise, based on his current age, he would only be ranked among the senior generation.
Zhang Sihong is still young, only twelve years old. He has just started practicing and his cultivation level is only at the sixth level of Xiantian.
He is a monk with the two spiritual roots of water and fire, and his spiritual root attributes are very powerful.
But unlike Zhang Zhixuan, Zhang Zhixuan has the strongest metallic spiritual root, which can suppress the fire spiritual root in the body and can practice normally.
However, Zhang Sihong’s fire spirit root is too strong, far exceeding the water spirit root in his body. Once he practices the family’s Fierce Fire Golden Technique, it will lead to an imbalance of spiritual energy in the body and slow progress in practice. If this problem is not solved, he will basically not be able to build it. gay.
To solve this problem, the easiest thing is to take elixirs with yin and cold attributes, and refine the power of yin and cold to suppress the strong fire spiritual power in the body.
Unfortunately, the Zhang family does not have a panacea suitable for Zhang Sihong’s situation.
The second method is to find a foundation-building monk and extract some fire energy from his body every half a month.
Therefore, since Zhang Sihong started practicing, he would come to Zhang Zhixuan’s cave every half a month and ask Zhang Zhixuan for help to suppress the fire root in his body.
Although he had been to Zhang Zhixuan’s cave many times, Zhang Sihong was still a little nervous.
Although he is Zhang Mengling’s great-nephew, Zhang Mengling had not married a wife or had a concubine before, and he was responsible for the family’s general affairs. He was extremely busy every day and basically had no time to meet with his mortal relatives.
He had just started practicing for a year or two. Although he made rapid progress and soon reached the sixth innate level, he was in pain every day because of the conflict between his spiritual roots. Although he was young, he looked more mature because of the hardships he suffered.
Seeing that Zhang Sihong had arrived, Zhang Zhixuan opened the cave and asked him to sit cross-legged on the futon, and then said: “Sihong is here. In your situation, you cannot be around the foundation-building monks at all times. I gave Qingxuan Sect some time ago Fellow Daoist Chen sent a letter and talked about your problem. I have entrusted him to refine a magical weapon. As long as this magical weapon is refined, you can practice alone. “
“Let Uncle Fourteen worry about it.”
“One family does not speak two different languages. If you can build the foundation in the future, the burden on me will be easier. During this period, do you have any questions about cultivation? I will explain it to you when you come today.” Zhang Zhixuan looked at Zhang Sihong. This child had been sensible since he was a child, and Zhang Zhixuan liked him better.
Zhang Zhixuan first removed the fire poison for Zhang Sihong, and then told him some problems in cultivation. Seeing that it was getting late, Zhang Sihong quickly left Zhang Zhixuan’s cave and returned to the back mountain.
After Qing Chan established the foundation, he did not open a new cave. Their cave was on the front of Lingjing Mountain.
At the foot of the mountain is a spiritual well, which has now opened up nearly fifty acres of spiritual fields, of which about twenty acres were developed in the thirty years after Zhang Zhixuan came down from the mountain. This is mainly due to the increasing spiritual energy of the spiritual well water. , and the family has increased its investment in recent years, opening up spiritual fields of up to five acres and as little as three acres every year.
The people behind the mountain in Lingjing Mountain are basically children between ten and sixteen years old. There are more than a dozen of these children. Because they are young and immature in character, these children often cause chaos in the back mountains, and sometimes even run around in Lushan County.
The small courtyard in the middle of the spiritual field at the foot of the mountain has also been expanded several times on a large scale, and now there are twelve monks permanently stationed there.
Their task is not only to grow spiritual rice, but also to take care of the White Jade Bee. Even a few old and experienced monks have to take time to teach the children to practice.
The stalls at the foot of Lingjing Mountain are basically managed by the seventh uncle Zhang Mengyuan. Although the seventh uncle is already ninety-six years old, for a monk in the Qi training period, it is already time to return to the mountain to retire.
But for the sake of his youngest son with five spiritual roots, he was still reluctant to give up the family’s annual offering of sixty spiritual stones, and was still very busy every day.
His son Zhang Zhiying is a Wulinggen monk. He is now nearly forty years old. Relying on Qi Bo’s generous salary, he basically has no shortage of resources. He has taken many spiritual pills and has reached the level of Qi training. The fifth floor is much higher than Zhang Zhixuan’s father used to be.
But judging from his progress, he will definitely not be able to reach the ninth level of Qi training before he turns sixty.
Although the seventh uncle has gray hair, he still looks strong and strong, so the patriarch and Zhang Zhixuan let him continue to be the family elder and responsible for the Lingjing Mountain stall.
After all, the monk whose family is farming is the one with the highest cultivation level and the most experience.
A few months later, Chen Hongyuan of Qingxuan Sect sent a letter, saying that the magical weapon Zhang Zhixuan entrusted him to refine had been completed.
This magic weapon is called Xuanyin Talisman. Although it is a second-level high-grade magic weapon, because it uses the third-level spiritual object Xuanyin Jade, the price is almost the same as that of the third-level magic weapon, reaching four hundred spiritual stones.
This magic weapon contains the power of coldness, which can perfectly neutralize the fire in Zhang Sihong’s body. Even after he builds the foundation, he can improve the quality of this magic weapon and continue to practice it for a long time.
However, Zhang Sihong had just started practicing and did not have any good family deeds. His nineteenth uncle, who was closest to him, was also in charge of the Baibao Pavilion in Black Mountain. Therefore, Zhang Zhixuan can only advance this amount of spiritual stones for the time being, and pay it back when he has the spiritual stones in his hand.
