Summer goes and autumn comes, and it happens in the blink of an eye.
On the third day of the first lunar month in autumn, Long Dahai quietly left his family and headed north.
Compared to the Long family, the Zhang family does not have many foundation-building monks, but there are several times more Qi-training monks and ordinary clan members.
This is the heritage of the family.
When they came to Beiyan Mansion, the Zhang family already owned two towns and five farms.
The monk who tried to forge the golden elixir this time is the second elder of the Zhang family and is now over a hundred years old.
The eldest elder of the Zhang family had already tried it when he was in Yushan County, but unfortunately he didn't succeed that time.
Now that the second elder is trying again, the Zhang family has made full preparations and even invited a golden elixir monk to come and suppress the battle to prevent any accidents from happening.
When Long Dahai came to the township where the Zhang family was located, he clearly felt a sense of tension.
During this war, many monks were recruited from the Zhang family, including two foundation-building monks.
"Haidai, you are here."
Zhang You was still so enthusiastic and came out to greet Long Dahai personally.
"Brother Zhang, I came in time."
"Just in time."
Zhang You took Long Dahai to the countryside and whispered to Long Dahai: "Fellow Taoist Baishi's father came yesterday. He is a monk in the early stage of the Golden Elixir."
When they arrived at Beiyan Mansion, the Zhang family was very close to the Bai family. Zhang You also introduced Long Dahai to the Songzhu Society through getting to know Bai Shi.
This time, the second elder of the Zhang family planned to break through to the golden elixir realm, and actually invited a golden elixir monk from the Bai family, which shows the deep friendship between the Zhang family and the Bai family.
Long Dahai followed Zhang You to the villa where the Zhang family lived.
Entering inside, you will find rockery, flowing water, spiritual plants and spiritual animals, which gives you a fairyland-like scenery.
This is the favorite style of the old family, and it does have an out-of-this-world feeling.
Following the path, Zhang You brought Long Dahai into the hall.
There are now many monks gathered in the hall, and Long Dahai knows most of them, as they are all acquaintances from Yushan County.
In the middle of the hall, two monks in brocade robes sat.
One of them is the great elder of the Zhang family, and the other is a Jindan monk from the Bai family.
Long Dahai came over to salute as a junior, and the eldest elder of the Zhang family immediately asked Long Dahai to stand up.
"Dahai, this is the second time we have met. The last time was when we got married."
"Yes, good-bye Great Elder, it has been almost twenty years, and you are still so energetic."
The two laughed and talked, and then the elder introduced Long Dahai to the Bai family's golden elixir monk.
"Brother Bai, this is a magic genius from our Yushan County. He once defeated an arrogant foreign monk."
Bai Jiajindan looked at Long Dahai carefully with a smile on his face.
With his eyesight, he actually felt that he couldn't see through Long Dahai's cultivation, which made him look at Long Dahai with admiration.
"My son told me that Dahai is indeed a rare genius monk."
Jindan of the Bai family replied to the eldest elder of the Zhang family, and then said to Long Dahai: "Dahai, although we are also related by relatives, this is the first time we have met."
Long Dahai: "That's true. Senior was in retreat at that time and missed it."
Long Dahai chatted animatedly with the two seniors.
Others who didn't know Long Dahai's identity saw that Long Dahai had a good relationship with the Zhang family and the Bai family, so they immediately asked about Long Dahai's origins.
A genius in magic, he defeated the powerful foreign foundation builders, the head of the Long family, etc.
Anyone with a discerning eye knows that Long Dahai may also be a golden elixir monk in the future.
When Long Dahai sat down, everyone immediately started talking to him.
After being polite, Long Dahai followed Zhang You and Bai Shi to Zhang You's yard.
"The second elder's breakthrough will be in these two days. By then, Senior Sanjian may also come."
Zhang You's master, Taoist Master Lianhua, is also in the Zhang family at the moment, but he is staying with the female members of the Zhang family.
Long Dahai had not seen this former village head for many years.
Now Lotus has also broken through to the late stage of foundation building, and its cultivation is good.
Now Lianhua is helping her father, managing the Yushan Mountain together, being reclusive and simple, quite Buddhist-like.
During the dinner, Long Dahai saw Lotus and immediately came forward to talk.
"Sister Lianhua, do you still recognize me as junior brother?"
Lianhua was sitting at the table, waiting for the banquet to begin. When she heard someone calling her, she immediately looked up.
When he found a tall and handsome monk standing in front of him, he immediately smiled.
"Junior Brother Qinghu, we meet again."
Lianhua's tone remained unchanged and she spoke calmly.
It was the same when we went on an adventure together back then.
Lotus's appearance has not changed much from that time.
Long Dahai said a few polite words to Lianhua, and then returned to his seat after the banquet started.
I stayed at Zhang's house for two days.
After noon that day, Zhang You found Long Dahai excitedly and took him to a quiet mountain forest.
Here, you can overlook a mountain peak ahead, which is the cave where the second elder of the Zhang family practices.
The monks invited by the Zhang family to watch the ceremony gradually gathered together, but the elders of the Bai family and Taoist Sanjian were missing.
The two of them were probably protecting the second elder of the Zhang family and were hiding in the dark.
You can be careful. Although the guests here are all monks whom the Zhang family can trust, there is no guarantee that anything unexpected will happen.
Everyone was sitting in the pavilion prepared by the Zhang family, quietly waiting for the mountain peak to change.
It takes several days to break through to the golden elixir realm.
Now the second elder of the Zhang family has begun to try, but the whole process is relatively slow.
Staying calm, swallowing elixirs, etc. all require an adjustment process.
When the state is at its best, adjust the spiritual energy in the body and gather the spiritual energy into a golden elixir in one go.
The monks who watch the ceremony are all in the middle and late stages of foundation building. They can live without grains and have patience.
There was no one to talk to, and he looked carefully at the mountain peaks in front of him.
This kind of opportunity to go to the scene and watch other people create golden elixirs may be once in a lifetime, so everyone does not want to miss any details.
The sun slowly sets and the temperature slowly drops.
The moonlight falls down, covering the surrounding area with a layer of silver light.
Long Dahai closed his eyes this night, and the spiritual energy in his body moved slowly.
Nothing changed that night.
When it gets slightly brighter the next day, the mountain peaks in front begin to gather spiritual energy and create a mist surrounding them.
When the sun rose, the fog halfway up the mountain didn't become obvious, but became thicker and thicker.
By the evening of the second day, the fog suddenly dissipated, and the vegetation on the mountain peaks began to grow rapidly.
The second elder of the Zhang family majored in wood-attribute skills. Now that the vegetation on the mountain peaks is growing rapidly, it is obvious that the wood spiritual energy in the mountains has begun to emit.
This is a situation caused by the process of condensing the golden elixir.
When everyone saw this, they immediately became energetic and began to observe with concentration.
There is a limit to the instantaneous growth of vegetation, and there is also a certain number of withering and decaying of vegetation.
Most plants and trees grow up quickly and wither and die quickly.
In the middle of the night, the mountain peaks were all yellow, and by the morning of the third day they were all green again.
"The most critical moment has come!"
The elder of the Zhang family had experience and said in a low voice.
Long Dahai looked and found that the elder's fingers were clinging to the seat, obviously very nervous.
Success or failure, this is all in one fell swoop.
At this time, something changed instantly on the other side of the mountain.
