Chapter 94 Gathering Spirits
Zhang Zhixuan killed the monks on the mountain, then carefully flew around Roglu Mountain, and finally found what he wanted.
A small emerald green tree more than three feet high grows in the back hill. Although the small tree is not tall, it looks quite magical. It can actually gather spiritual energy. In the three-foot radius around the small tree, the spiritual energy is obviously stronger. .
There was even a second-level high-grade alarm array set up near the small tree.
Just seeing this, Zhang Zhixuan knew that this was the most important spiritual object in Roglu Mountain.
Zhang Zhixuan searched in his mind and finally found the record of this spiritual object.
This object is called the Spirit-Gathering Tree, which can purify the spiritual energy gathered nearby. As long as the sapling has just grown, it will be a third-level low-grade spiritual object.
Now that the sapling of the small tree has reached a height of three feet, its level has improved a bit.
This kind of small tree grows very slowly. It takes three hundred years to grow one foot tall under normal growth.
This sapling has probably grown for thousands of years.
This kind of tree that can gather spiritual energy is a natural spiritual gathering formation.
In the entire three southeastern counties, only the mountain gate of Qingxuan Sect has collected more than a dozen spirit-gathering trees of different years. The best one has grown for tens of thousands of years and has reached the fourth level.
Each spirit-gathering tree has a different tree species.
The variety of this spirit-gathering tree on Fenglu Mountain is Qingyang Wood.
Ordinary Qingyang wood can only be regarded as a first-level spiritual object and has no effect of gathering spiritual energy. The texture of Qingyang wood is hard and not easily damaged. There is also a trace of Xuanyang energy in the tree. The surface of the tree is very dry and has a warm feeling.
This tree was often used by monks as bookshelves for books.
From large sects like Qingxuan Sect to small cultivators, they all use this material to build bookshelves for collecting classics.
And the wealthy sects would even use this kind of spiritual object to build huge buildings like the Sutra Pavilion. Although ordinary Qingyang wood is not valuable, it still costs a lot of money when the consumables are huge.
Spirit trees like Qingyang Wood have both wood and fire attributes, and this spirit-gathering tree can only gather spiritual energy of both wood and fire attributes. It is still not as good as the spirit-gathering array in terms of compatibility.
Zhang Zhixuan carefully dug out the spirit-gathering tree, and then used a magic talisman to seal it to prevent the spirit from being revealed. Then he emptied a second-grade high-grade storage bag, put the spiritual object in it, and hurriedly left Oven Mountain.
He was traveling all the way, and it took him three days to catch up with Zhang Leqian and the others.
Lu Yi’an died in a desolate canyon, and it took more than ten days for the news to reach Montenegro.
The main reason why the news was transmitted so slowly was that Chen Zhongping, who knew about it, did not dare to leak the news to avoid being punished by Patriarch Liang.
After all, the monks on the Black Mountain still need the support of the families in Taicheng County to provide the much-needed spiritual rice.
Without enough spiritual rice, the number of monks on Black Mountain would be reduced by half.
Although the monks’ magic power is not high during the Qi training period, if their numbers reach a certain level, they can kill elephants due to ants.
Without half of the Qi-training monks, the power on Black Mountain will be reduced by two or three levels.
This situation is definitely something that Patriarch Liang does not want to see.
The act of attacking and killing Taicheng County to transport spiritual rice was also against the taboo of Patriarch Liang.
Chen Zhongping was not a fool. Except for him, all the monks who attacked him were dead, so he kept his mouth shut and never told anyone about it.
Another insider, Lu Zichen, did not know the details and could only secretly look for Chen Zhongping. Due to their past friendship, Chen Zhongping finally informed him of the place where Lu Yi’an died.
Unfortunately, Lu Yi’an had been beaten to ashes by thunder, and Lu Zichen could only take some ashes with him and fled back to Montenegro in despair.
He returned to Montenegro, and although he did not make any grand arrangements for his father’s funeral, the news still spread.
And after offending the Zhuji family in Taicheng County, Lu Zichen did not dare to stay on the Black Mountain anymore.
Lu Yi’an simply handed over all his resources to him. Lu Yi’an had been building a foundation for a hundred years and had accumulated more than 7,000 low-grade spiritual stones. With this amount of resources, it was enough for them to practice after they escaped.
After Lu Zichen left the Black Mountain, he never appeared again. Maybe he successfully left the Yu Kingdom, but it is more likely that he was killed by the foundation-building monks on the Black Mountain to seize the treasure, and completely disappeared into the Southern Wasteland.
Even Chen Zhongping, who was on the third floor of the foundation building, had not recovered from his injuries. Because the news was leaked, he was hunted down and beheaded by Wei Bohan, the eldest disciple of the Liang Ancestor Sect.
In the end, Roolu Mountain was also occupied by a black mountain cultivator who had just established a foundation.
Although Lu Yi’an’s disappearance caused a lot of discussion in Montenegro, it soon calmed down. As a casual cultivator, although he had a few good friends, there was no one to pursue this kind of matter for him.
After all, this is Montenegro, and people die every day near Montenegro.
When a person dies, most of the friendship is lost. No one is willing to offend the powerful Zhang family over a dead person.
Moreover, Lu Yi’an violated Ancestor Liang’s prohibition and robbed the monks who were transporting spiritual rice for Black Mountain. He deserved his death, so he couldn’t blame others.
Zhang Zhixuan caught up with everyone, and nothing happened along the way. After several months of running around, the transport caravan finally left Nanhuang and entered Taicheng County.
After ten months of busy work, Zhang Zhixuan and others finally returned to Lushan Tiantai Peak.
This time when I went to Southern Wasteland, I only made less than 500 spirit stones from normal trade.
Unfortunately, this operation consumed the Tiangang Divine Thunder Talisman and lost the family’s greatest heritage. From then on, the family’s development relied entirely on Zhang Zhixuan and others.
The legacy left by the predecessors will eventually be used up. If a family wants to prosper for a long time, it requires the hard work of generations of monks.
If future generations don’t work hard, even the family passed down by Yuanying monks will one day die.
After killing more than a dozen people including Lu Yi’an, they harvested more than 500 scattered spiritual stones. Zhang Zhixuan and Zhang Leqian collected more than 100 spiritual stones to return the spiritual stones that the family had lent to the small vassal family.
By this time, although the Zhang family had harvested a lot of magic weapons and elixirs, there was not a penny left in the public account of the spiritual stones used for turnover.
It is very uncomfortable for a family to have no circulating spiritual stones.
Even the benefits of family monks cannot be distributed. If benefits are not distributed for a long time, the cohesion of the family will decrease and eventually dissipate.
Therefore, collecting spiritual stones as soon as possible is the most important thing for the Zhang family now.
After Zhang Zhixuan returned to Lushan, he met Qingchan first to report that he was safe so that she would not worry secretly.
Then he took the Spirit Gathering Tree directly to the vicinity of Lingtian in Lushan County.
Lingtian has now become the second most important place for the family, and the family has paid more and more attention to it. In the spiritual field, the family has stationed more than ten monks, including an elder at the ninth level of Qi training.
Zhang Zhixuan arrived here, planted the spirit-gathering tree near the spiritual well, and then poured the well water with sufficient spiritual energy.
Zhang Zhixuan stayed in the spiritual field for more than ten days. When the tree of gathering spirits was successfully transplanted, Zhang Zhixuan put down his worries and returned to the mountain gate happily.
