Chapter 82 Cold Smoke Returns
Seeing that Qingchan had become a ninth-level qi-training monk, the patriarch Zhang Leqian was also very happy. He took out a third-level talisman from his collection and handed it into Qingchan’s hands as a gift from himself as an elder.
This is a third-level low-grade green wood talisman. It can release a blue log to attack the enemy. Its power is equivalent to a full blow from a second-level monk in the foundation building.
This spiritual talisman was a training tool used by the clan leader many years ago, and has been treasured for more than one Jiazi.
The clan leader used to be a third-level mid-level talisman maker and could make a third-level talisman every year. Unfortunately, after being injured many years ago, he could no longer make talismans.
Because he is a talisman maker, the most valuable thing about him is his collection of talismans.
It’s a pity that there has been no replenishment of talismans for many years, and when the family is in tension, they still have to sell a few third-level talismans in stock.
Over the years, the spiritual talismans in the hands of the clan leader have become less and less, and there are not many left.
This Aoki Talisman is also considered the proud work of the clan leader. Its value in the market is around two hundred spirit stones, which is already more than most second-level high-grade magic weapons. It can be said that it is an extraordinary success.
Because Qingchan’s spiritual roots are very special, in order to avoid the situation of showing off in the forest, the two people discussed not to announce Qingchan’s cultivation level.
When Zhang Zhixuan was not at home, Qing Chan tried to meet as few outsiders as possible to avoid being noticed by outsiders.
“Zhixuan! I know you like to be quiet, don’t like to be disturbed, and don’t like to be in the limelight.
But after you build a foundation, you always have to celebrate.
Celebrating it not only boosts family morale, but also serves other purposes.
We want to invite some small vassal families. Because of the family’s decline over the years, these people have become alienated and want to seek refuge with outsiders.
After you build the foundation, they will feel more at ease and will not make other small calculations.
Not only that, the five major families also want to be invited.
Over the years, our family has declined, and the five families have relied more on the other four to do things together.
This situation cannot last long. If it cannot be changed, our family will gradually fade out of the five-family alliance.
Although there is internal competition among the five immortal cultivating families in Taicheng County, the cooperation between us is still more important.
Especially in Qingxuan Sect, the five families have always stayed together to keep each other warm and advance and retreat together.
Han Yan and you have built the foundation one after another, and the family’s situation will soon change. It is our interests, and we must fight for them.
This time I celebrate your foundation building to tell the other four monks that our family still has a successor.
It is our turn to return some of our benefits to us. “
Seeing that the patriarch made it very clear, Zhang Zhixuan could only nod and agree to hold a celebration banquet in the near future.
In order to show the strength of the family, the patriarch also wrote a letter in advance and sent it to Qingxuanzong to inform his aunt Zhang Hanyan so that she could show up in advance and show up at the banquet.
Although all the five major families knew that Zhang Hanyan had established a foundation, the small vassal families did not know this.
In order to organize this celebration banquet, the patriarch personally wrote more than a dozen invitations and sent them all to the monks who were close to him.
The preparations for the banquet will be three months later, when the spiritual rice is mature.
A small family like the Zhang family in the foundation-building stage doesn’t have any spiritual fruit elixir in their hands. Only the family’s spiritual rice can provide some.
When the time comes to invite dozens of monks to have a feast, the supply allocated to the monks within the family will become tighter.
They have doubts in their hearts and have to find a way out by themselves. This is normal.
Zhang Hanyan was also very happy after receiving the letter from Zhang Zhixuan that he had successfully established the foundation. She settled down for a while, then immediately controlled the flying sword and hurried back to Lushan.
After she succeeded in establishing the foundation, she was able to fly with her sword. The speed of flying with the sword of the monks in the foundation building stage was at least three times faster than that of the monks in the Qi training stage.
In one day, he could fly two to three thousand miles away. In just twenty days, Zhang Hanyan walked a distance that had only taken three months before and rushed back to Lushan from Qingxuan Sect.
This is the first time she has returned to her hometown after joining the Qingxuan Sect. Her father is the grandson of Patriarch Tairen and was already over a hundred years old when he gave birth to her. This monk of the Yue generation has been in a state of incarnation for more than ten years.
Even if her father died, she would not have time to come back from Qingxuan Sect.
It has been almost twenty years since I left Shanmen when I was young. I haven’t seen each other for twenty years, even my biological parents feel a little far away.
Zhang Hanyan’s mother was just an ordinary mortal. As a monk’s concubine, her biggest task was to give birth to offspring with spiritual roots for the family.
Obviously, she completed this task brilliantly. Even though her husband left and she became a widow, she was cared for carefully by her family and was taken care of every day. She had no worries about food and clothing.
Returning to the mountain gate this time, Zhang Hanyan felt a mixture of sadness and joy in his heart.
Returning to Lushan, she first sent a messenger talisman to the clan leader, and then returned directly to her home.
Zhang Hanyan’s father’s spiritual qualifications were not very good. When he got old, he gave up cultivation and focused on having fun and marrying wives and concubines.
For the convenience of life, he moved to the foot of the mountain and lived with the mortal family members of the monks in his family.
Even after he passed away, because of his outstanding daughter Zhang Hanyan, his family still had no worries about food and clothing, living comfortably and peacefully at the foot of the mountain.
Zhang Hanyan stopped uneasily in front of his home, and at first sight he saw a wealthy middle-aged woman sitting on a lounge chair, leisurely basking in the sun.
Judging from her appearance, she must have been a great beauty when she was young. Her vague outline is similar to Zhang Hanyan.
Although the beautiful woman looked very relaxed, there was still a hint of worry in her expression.
Suddenly noticing someone coming outside, the middle-aged woman sat up suddenly and recognized Zhang Hanyan at first sight.
Even though they hadn’t seen each other for twenty years, she still recognized her daughter at first sight.
Because of this daughter, she enjoys the wealth and comfort that is difficult for ordinary people to enjoy, but as a piece of flesh that fell from her body, she has worked hard to raise her daughter.
Once you leave home, you are not free, and it is difficult to see him again for twenty years.
But this is the life of a monk.
Mortal family love is the first difficulty they face.
Especially for a successful monk, when she sees her relatives, friends, parents, wives and children die in front of her one by one, she can slowly cut off the secular ties.
After all, the road is tough, and if you want to gain something, you have to lose something.
Between heaven and earth, what is perfect?
