Chapter 160 Cleaning up the darkness
Killing the poisonous dragon can be regarded as eliminating a hidden danger for the Zhang family.
This place is only a few hundred miles away from Tiantai Peak. Once the poisonous dragon evolves into a fourth-level monster, it will attack the nearest Zhang family on the first day.
Fortunately, there were heavy rains during this period, and the raging floods washed away the mountain, submerged the Ten Thousand Snake Cave, and rushed a large number of venomous snakes to Lushan County.
Dozens of people were killed and injured before the Zhang family paid attention. After tracing all the way to here, they discovered a serious problem in the family’s hinterland.
Zhang Zhixuan and the others successfully hunted the poisonous dragon, and then began to deal with the poisonous pool under the waterfall.
If this poisonous pond is not treated, in this environment, maybe in a hundred years, the large number of poisonous snakes in the pond may evolve into another poisonous dragon. If it becomes the climate by then, I am afraid it will still be very troublesome. .
Although Poison Pond is more important than third-level spiritual veins to monks who practice poisonous and physical training spells. However, the Zhang family’s inherited skills do not have this kind of magic. For the Zhang family, this kind of uncontrolled resources is a hidden danger, which is far less beneficial than draining the poison from the poison pool and adding a spiritual vein.
After all, cultivating a second-level high-grade spiritual vein also requires three thousand spiritual stones, which is enough for more than a dozen monks in the Qi training period.
To solve this poisonous pond, the most troublesome thing is to change the direction of the underground river. This requires the monks of the family to open a river underground, block the waterfall, and move the water in the underground river elsewhere.
Then go to Qingxuanzong to borrow a Qingni bottle from Han Yan, use the Qingni bottle to suck away all the venom in the poisonous pool, and then kill all the poisonous snakes in the poisonous pool.
There is no doubt that this is a big project. Even if all the monks in the family are mobilized, it may take one or two years to work.
However, for the safety of the family, Zhang Leqian issued a recruitment order with a tough attitude, mobilizing not only the monks of the family, but also a large number of manpower from nearby vassal families.
In order to open the river, the Zhang family recruited hundreds of monks. Except for those who couldn’t leave, even the fifth and third uncles who were over a hundred years old also came. They took advantage of the monks’ powerful strength and used flying swords to chop off huge rocks, and opened a new river channel along the underground river to lead the living water to other places.
In order to make the project go more smoothly, Zhang Zhixuan also mobilized thousands of mortals to help transport underground gravel.
In order to allow these mortals to eat in the wilderness, under Zhang Zhixuan’s strict order, hundreds of thousands of mortals controlled by the entire Lushan County were mobilized to complete this huge project.
In this way, they spent countless manpower and material resources and lasted for more than a year before they successfully opened a new river channel underground to divert the river water, and then blocked the waterfall.
During this period of time, in order to make the mortals here live better.
Under Zhang Zhixuan’s planning, the Zhang family even built a large-scale town by the diverted river outside the hill, and also opened up a large amount of farmland in nearby valleys and plains.
After dealing with the trouble in the Poison Pond, Zhang Zhixuan has prepared to have family monks stationed here permanently to monitor abnormalities in the underground river at any time because of the spiritual veins under the Poison Pond.
With the protection of the monks, the survival of mortals is guaranteed. As the farmland expands, the carrying capacity of the family population will be greater. As the mortal population increases, there will be more and more monks with spiritual roots.
After a new river channel was opened, Zhang Zhixuan asked Qing Chan to return to Tiantai Peak to guard. The clan leader temporarily guarded the Ten Thousand Snake Cave. He returned to Tiantai Peak to bring the poisonous dragon materials and immediately flew to Qingxuan Sect.
“Where is your master?”
“Uncle Fourteenth, when did you come to the sect? My master went to the sect’s general affairs hall. There was a weapon refining mission in the sect recently.”
“When will your master come back?”
“It’s been almost a month since I left. Generally, this kind of sect mission takes forty-five days. If Uncle Fourteen is not in a hurry, you can stay here for a few days now.”
“How do you feel when you come to Qingxuanzong? Can you get used to it?”
“It feels okay. I am an inner disciple and am relatively free within the sect. Now I am learning to refine weapons with the master, and I can also get some good deeds by looking after the master’s shop. In a few years, when my skill in weapon refinement improves. , I will be able to refine weapons for the sect’s General Affairs Hall, and it will be easier to earn good deeds.” Zhang Sidao smiled, with a hint of longing on his face.
Zhang Zhixuan was relieved to hear that Zhang Sidao could adapt to the environment of Qingxuan Sect, but he still gave a few extra words of advice.
“You can’t let go of your cultivation. Good deeds are important, but for a monk, the most important thing is your cultivation. You have to be like your Aunt Hanyan. When she was your age, she had already reached the ninth level of Qi training.
I came to Qingxuanzong in a hurry this time, and I didn’t bring anything with me. Here are seven Golden Bud Pills and two Youhuan Pills, which are the leftover elixirs I took back then. I will give them all to you this time. Bar.
However, although the elixir is good, you should not take too much. The accumulation of erysipelas is very detrimental to foundation building. You can only take one pill of Jinya Dan every six months, and Youhuan Dan will have the best effect after you reach the seventh level of Qi training.
Especially taking Youhuan Dan for the first time can help break through the bottleneck and the effect is very good. When I was in Montenegro, it was the first time I took this elixir and broke through the ninth level of Qi training. “
Zhang Sidao took the elixir with a happy face and said with a smile: “I remember, thank you Uncle Fourteen for giving me the elixir. When I left, my grandfather’s property was all exchanged for medium-grade spiritual stones. After I joined the Qingxuan Sect, I exchanged it at the General Affairs Hall. After earning four hundred meritorious deeds, I have no other cultivation resources. With these elixirs, I can relax for a while.”
Zhang Zhixuan knew that learning to refine weapons was very resource-intensive. Although Chen Hongyuan could bear some of the responsibility for him, Zhang Sidao must have lived a tight life in the past ten years and lacked various training resources.
“If you are short of spiritual stones in your hand, don’t hold it in your heart. Go and ask your Aunt Hanyan to think of a solution. She is a monk in the foundation-building stage. A little leakage between her fingers is enough for you. Your Aunt Hanyan is the same in the spiritual medicine garden. If you are lonely, go see her often and build a relationship with her, so that you can speak more easily when you ask for help in the future.
You have to know that the descendant of a senior who joined Qingxuan Sect many years ago is very attentive. Don’t get on bad terms with Aunt Hanyan and make her prefer to help outsiders instead of you. “
“I know Uncle Fourteen, and I know that man’s name is Zhang Zhen. He is well-rounded and very lovable. But I am no longer a child. I can distinguish priorities. I will visit Aunt Hanyan often. ”
“You just know it in your heart. Things at home are very urgent. I don’t have time to wait for Fellow Daoist Chen. These monster materials will be left here temporarily until Fellow Daoist Chen comes back and entrusts him with refining a few magic weapons.” Zhang Zhixuan took out the contents from the storage bag. He took out the materials from the poisonous dragon and handed them into Zhang Sidao’s hands.
