Chapter 230 The Battle of Generals
“When Master left, he left me some treasures, including three fifth-level formation-breaking beads. However, we can only use one to attack the Hongshan Sect Gate this time. This kind of thing is very rare and almost difficult to Living outside, if we use multiple formation-breaking beads to break through the Hongshan Sect’s formation, flaws will be exposed and arouse suspicion from other sects.
Because according to the background of Qingxuan Sect, it is impossible to have too many such treasures. “
You Nianwei took out a fifth-level formation-breaking bead from the storage bag and handed it into the hands of Taoist Jin Lan, with a hint of caution in his eyes.
Although Patriarch Jin has practiced Taoism for six hundred years and is well-informed, this is the first time he has seen such a precious treasure. He carefully put the fifth-level formation-breaking bead into his storage bag, and immediately took You Nianwei to join the Qingxuan Sect.
In the case of Lu Hongniang, the Zifu monks of Qingxuan Sect had no objection to Jin Laozula’s entry into the sect. You Nianwei also officially joined Qingxuan Sect and became the thirteenth Zifu elder. Lu Hongniang, a Zifu monk of Qingxuan Sect, successfully advanced and You Nianwei was admitted to the sect, no more, no less, thirteen people.
You Nianwei will not appear in this attack on Hongshan Sect. Her mission is to cooperate with Hu Peiyu, Luo Ziyan and others to stabilize the southern wilderness’s front line and resist the invasion of monsters.
Since You Nianwei joined, Patriarch Jin seemed to be more confident. Under his command, the war machine of Qingxuan Sect was quickly activated and began to hoard various resources, preparing to launch war at any time.
Qingxuanzong’s hoarding of resources also affected the three southeastern counties, and the prices of many elixirs and talismans began to rise. Zhang Zhixuan, who had just brought Zhang Sidao and his wife home, immediately realized something was wrong and instantly became worried.
Some well-informed people also felt that the storm was coming, and Qingxuan Sect seemed to be ready to launch a war at any time.
After Zhang Sideo came back, he first paid homage to his grandfather, and then temporarily settled in Tiantai Peak, preparing to compile a weapon refining classic for the family within the next five years, and at the same time, upgrade his weapon refining skills to the third level of low-level.
With Zhang Sidao on Tiantai Peak, Zhang Zhixuan moved to Jiuhua Mountain.
On Jiuhua Mountain, there are fewer monks from the direct lineage of the Zhang family, and most of them are guest ministers with foreign surnames who have not been here for a long time.
These people with foreign surnames have only joined the Zhang family for a short time and do not have much identification with the Zhang family. Now they can only build up their momentum so that the family can drive some people.
To fully integrate these people into the family, you need to understand and influence each other, and this often takes a long time.
In recent years, the clan leader has been practicing in Chaoyin Mountain, Qing Chan has almost settled in Lingjing Mountain, and Zhang Zhixuan is in charge of Tiantai Peak. Jiuhua Mountain is somewhat neglected and can only rely on the newly joined disciples to occupy this mountain gate first.
Compared with places such as Tiantai Peak and Lingjing Mountain that have been operated for many years, although Jiuhua Mountain still belonged to the Zhang family a hundred years ago, it was a pity that Zhang Zhixuan did not invest too many resources after taking back this Lingshan Mountain. In addition to the third-order spiritual veins on Jiuhua Mountain, the last The most valuable thing is the twenty acres of spiritual land.
After Zhang Zhixuan came to Jiuhua Mountain, he opened a cave in the back mountain, occupying almost the entire back mountain.
He always liked purity and did not like others to disturb his practice.
Zhang Zhixuan was meditating, and suddenly Uncle Nineteen personally sent a letter.
In the past ten years, although he has given birth to several more children, it is a pity that these children have no spiritual roots. He is a monk with two spiritual roots. Although his wife is not highly cultivated, she also has spiritual roots. Unfortunately, their children are ordinary mortals.
Giving birth to seven or eight children without spiritual roots was a huge blow to Uncle Nineteen. In the past year or two, he had given up his efforts to have a successor and placed his efforts on his grandnephew Zhang Sihong.
Arriving at Zhang Zhixuan’s cave, Uncle Nineteen said happily: “Some time ago, Qingxuanzong monks came to Xihefang and brought a large number of green miscanthus seeds. They hope that we can cultivate them in Shanmen Lingtian. This time I Come, take this batch of seeds and plant them in the spiritual field at the foot of Jiuhua Mountain.”
Green Miscanthus is a second-level mid-grade spiritual grass that can make second-level talismans. It is a very useful spiritual grass. In the southeast of Yu State, the seeds of this kind of spiritual grass were almost monopolized by Qingxuan Sect in the past, making it difficult for outsiders to interfere.
The Zhang family’s talisman-making technique has been inherited in an orderly manner, and after Zhang Chuyun’s revision, it can be practiced to the fourth level. In the entire Zhang family, there are more than thirty monks who have learned the art of making talismans, including two third-level talisman makers, seven second-level high-grade talisman makers, and 23 monks who can successfully draw second-level talismans.
Because of the good inheritance, the most indispensable cultivation resources of the entire family are various spiritual talismans. In Xihefang City, apart from spiritual wine and elixirs, the Zhang family’s shop is most famous for its various spiritual talismans.
Every year, the Zhang family draws four to five hundred spiritual objects. Counting the talisman paper, cinnabar, spiritual ink and other materials wasted due to failed attempts to make talismans, it is a huge expense every year.
As for the Zhang family’s way of obtaining talisman paper, apart from hunting monsters and using their furs, they can only buy them from Qingxuan Sect’s market. The annual expenditure exceeds more than 300 spirit stones.
Three hundred spirit stones may not seem like much, but over time it becomes an astronomical figure.
If the green miscanthus can be successfully planted, the family can save this expense and use it to invest in more important places.
“It seems that Qingxuanzong is preparing for a big war. If it were not for the lack of a large number of talismans, the General Affairs Hall would definitely not give up monopolizing this source of wealth.” Seeing the seeds of green miscanthus, Zhang Zhixuan’s expression changed and he said to himself.
Uncle Nineteen nodded and said: “Who says it’s not the case? Recently, Qingxuan Sect has begun to tighten its grip. Various elixirs, talismans, and anything that can break the formation through fighting skills are now almost difficult to find on the market.” The price of a Ganlin Pill has almost jumped by 20 to 30%. I heard that Patriarch Lu of the Qingxuan Sect has formed a golden elixir. Could it be that the Qingxuan Sect is going to attack the Hongshan Sect? “
“Where did you hear this kind of news?” Zhang Zhixuan asked.
Those of them who saw the strange phenomenon of forming pills in Qingxuanzong all swore a poisonous oath, and it was impossible to spread the news. Unexpectedly, in just a few months, the news leaked everywhere, and even reached the ears of Uncle Nineteen who was at home every day. middle.
Zhang Menngling smiled and said: “There has been a lot of rumors in Xihefang for a long time. That day, Patriarch Lu showed a strange phenomenon while forming elixirs in Qingxuanzong. Many monks in Longjiang County saw it. Qingxuanzong could not kill them all. The news was very It soon spread to the three southeastern counties.”
“It seems that the monks of the Hongshan Sect have been prepared for this battle. I don’t know how many people will be recruited for this battle. Our family probably won’t be able to escape, and people may die. Uncle Nineteen, we need to make plans in advance.”
