Ximen Changfeng, who is at the seventh level of Qi training, is Changqing's second brother. He has three spiritual roots, including the sixth grade water spiritual root.
His parents are both mortals, so they are actually very young, but their spiritual roots are relatively good.
The elders adopted him to Ximen Yunsong, Changqing's biological second uncle, and regarded him as a direct lineage.
In the Ximen family, as long as a young child with good qualifications is found, he will be adopted and become a direct descendant, so as to focus on cultivating him.
At present, there are no more than thirty direct descendants in each generation, or even only more than ten people.
Except for the direct lineage, all the remaining monks in the family have spiritual roots, none of which exceeds the fifth grade. It is best to have a lot of third-grade or fourth-grade spiritual roots.
After all, as long as you reach the sixth level, you will definitely be drawn into the direct lineage.
The reasons for the small number of direct monks are that, firstly, there are few monks with spiritual roots of sixth grade or above, and secondly, most of the direct monks of each generation pursue the path to immortality and are not keen on finding Taoist companions.
This is very detrimental to the development of the family, but the family cannot interfere with the path of the direct monks for the sake of the overall interests.
There's no point in forcing this kind of thing.
In Renzi generation alone, there are four direct descendants who have no Taoist companions, and in Yunzi generation there are even more.
But like Ximen Yunsong, there are many people who adopt one child. Although they have no Taoist partners, they have heirs.
The family only has eighteen wind-chasing beasts, and the fifty Qi-training monks are naturally not enough to allocate them. Riding horses is out of the question, so they can only ride in carriages.
A carriage can carry more than ten people, and two wind-chasing beasts pull it together. The speed is twice as slow as when riding alone. It takes an hour to get to Qingyangfang.
For some sects, it is directly a large flying boat, while for the Ximen family, they can only take a spirit beast carriage.
When Ximen Changqing came out of the customs, he happened to catch up with the family team heading to Qingyangfang, so he followed them on the road. He was going to learn weapon refining from Ximen Zangjian.
"Changqing, you've reached the fourth level of Qi training, why don't you go to Duanren Mountain with your third uncle to hunt monsters." In the carriage, third uncle Ximen Yunlong looked over with a smile.
"Changqing, don't listen to your third uncle, study hard to refine weapons." Fourth uncle Ximen Yunfei said with a smile.
"Fourth brother, I'm talking to my nephew, why are you interrupting?"
"Third brother, you owe me more than a thousand spiritual stones. When do you plan to pay it back?"
"I bring this up again, and it's not all because of your niece Chang Ping. Her mother passed away early and her spiritual roots are not good. If you want spiritual stones, go to your niece."
"Playing rogue again."
Whenever these two meet, they always get into trouble, but they have an excellent relationship. They are both masters of the ninth level of family Qi training.
The third uncle, Ximen Yunlong, has a seventh-grade golden spirit root and practices the yellow-grade metal-based skill ‘Smashing Stone and Splitting Gold Technique’.
The fourth uncle, Ximen Yunfei, has a seventh-grade earth spirit root and practices the yellow-grade earth-attributed technique ‘The True Secret of Earth Guarding’.
Among the Yunzi generation, the two of them are considered to be the strongest, and they can build the foundation a long time ago. However, the foundation-building pill is difficult to buy, and it does not require spiritual stones.
Given the conditions of the Ximen family owning Qingyangfang, as long as they make a desperate move and cut off most of the other expenses, they will be able to collect the spiritual stones needed for a Foundation Building Pill in just a few years.
Since Foundation Building Pills are difficult to buy, the family also needs to develop its strength and cultivate various talents, resulting in very few spiritual stones in stock.
It almost never exceeds 30,000 spirit stones. If there are more, people will immediately apply to purchase immortal cultivation resources.
The opportunity for the two of them to build a foundation is the century-old beast tide.
After each great beast tide, the supply of Foundation Establishment Pills will be greatly increased, and the price will remain at around 100,000 spirit stones, not much higher.
During the beast tide, many third-level monsters will be killed, and the demon pills of the third-order monsters can be used as the main medicine of the foundation-building pills. This is one of the main reasons for the large increase in the number of foundation-building pills.
After arriving at Qingyangfang, the monks from the three families gathered together, while Ximen Changqing went to the Earth Fire Room to prepare to formally learn to refine weapons.
Just when the monks from the three families gathered in Qingyangfang, a pair of vicious eyes stared at them.
These vicious eyes belong to Song Tianjiang of the Song family in Jibo Ridge. He has been waiting for this day for a long time.
"It's been more than a month, and the three families are finally taking action. As long as the Ximen family declines, my Song family will surely rise." Song Tianjiang said to himself with a cold face.
Over the years, the development of the Song family has been very unfavorable. The family income cannot offset the huge expenditure. For the sake of the road, they have to cooperate with the evil cultivators in Jiguan Mountain many times.
Even so, he still couldn't make ends meet, let alone accumulate spiritual stones to buy foundation-building pills.
Seeing that the three families in Qingyang County made a lot of profits from Qingyangfang every year, but the Song family had to pay rent every year, he felt very unhappy.
The only way for the Song family to get out of this predicament is to cooperate with the evil cultivators of Jiguan Mountain and plunder Qingyangfang.
For the sake of his family and his own path, he had no other choice.
"Brother, the monks from the three families have left. They will arrive at Broken Edge Mountain within three days." Song Tianhe walked over.
Song Tianjiang breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Song Tianhe: "Second brother, send a message to Jiguan Mountain immediately and take action in three days."
Song Tianhe nodded and turned to prepare.
The three major foundation-building families in Qingyang County are completely unaware of the deep malice coming from the Song family.
At this moment, Ximen Changqing was already in the ground fire room, starting to practice.
The first step in refining is to melt the materials, put the prepared spiritual materials into the refining furnace, and continue to heat them over high fire. Controlling the temperature is much easier than refining elixirs.
However, there are always impurities in spiritual materials. How to control the fire to remove the impurities from the materials will test the skills of a refiner.
The presence of impurities will inevitably affect performance, lead to product degradation, or even complete scrapping.
As a rookie trying to refine weapons for the first time, Ximen Changqing's skills were naturally very average, and he couldn't tell the purity of the materials in the furnace.
The long sword weapon embryo had been prepared for a long time. Ximen Changqing felt that the materials were almost purified, so he opened the lid of the weapon refining furnace with a magic spell and poured the liquefied materials into the weapon embryo.
Cooling takes a certain amount of time, but it cannot be completely cooled. After the sword was initially solidified, Ximen Changqing picked up the forging hammer and started beating it with a clanging sound.
The first purpose of constant beating is plasticity. You can make it into any shape you want. The second purpose is to further remove impurities and make the material purer.
Finally, beating can also squeeze out any bubbles that may exist inside to avoid hidden damage inside.
Beating consumes a lot of physical energy, but it has a very good physical exercise effect. People with poor physical strength cannot learn to practice weapon refining.
Like the first step of melting the material, beating also requires technique.
A craftsman with poor skills will make a magic weapon with an awkward shape, many internal impurities, and even bubbles, making it difficult to succeed in the last step.
The last step is to use spiritual consciousness to engrave the forbidden array patterns on the surface or inside of the magic weapon. If you like Ximen Immortal Clan, please collect it: (www.sodu777.net) Ximen Immortal Clan Search and Read Novels
