A few years ago, Qing Chan and Yu Taoist worked together to fight for the Jiuxiao Gang Jade, but after all their efforts, they failed.
Of course, the number of Jiuxiao Gang jade that flew from the sky last time was very small, with only six pieces in total. Four of the Jiuxiao Gang jade fell into the hands of demon cultivators, and the other two Jiuxiao Gang jade were taken over by Zhongchizhou Yuanshen.
With the departure of Qingyunzi, it has been difficult for Nanyazhou to seize the Jiuxiao Gang Jade in recent years. Even if Zhang Zhixuan becomes the Yuanshen, it will be difficult to compete with Zhongchizhou, let alone the powerful late-stage Yuanshen Demon Saint.
Without Jiuxiao Gang Jade, Nanyazhou monks can only rely on the Infant Training Pill to advance.
Although all major sects have planted some Butianzhi, it takes thousands of years for Butianzhi to mature.
Only the Nascent Soul Sect can bear the risk of planting sixth-level elixirs. The sixth-level mid-grade Butian Zhi is still very rare in Nanya Prefecture. Only the top ten sects can provide it stably.
The Ziyang Sect was established only a short time ago. Although they planted several strains of Butianzhi, it would take thousands of years for them to mature. Fortunately, Qing Chan became the Yuan Shen, so the Ziyang Sect was able to squeeze out other major sects.
Time flies so fast, three years have passed in the blink of an eye.
Today is Zhang Zhixuan's thousandth birthday, and Lingjing Mountain in Nanya Prefecture is already crowded with tens of thousands of monks.
Most of these people have cultivation levels above the Zifu stage, and occasionally there are some Qi-training and foundation-building monks. They are all people with profound backgrounds, and they are probably a little harder to offend than the average Zifu Jindan.
After practicing Taoism for nearly a thousand years, the old friends Zhang Zhixuan made in his early years have long been dead. Even his good friend Mo Ziliu, who he made in Qingli Sea, has exhausted his lifespan. This is true for Yuanying monks, let alone ordinary people.
Nowadays, the monks who can establish friendship with Zhang Zhixuan are almost all Yuanying masters with great supernatural powers.
Lingjingshan Patriarch Hall.
Many monks with gorgeous clothes gathered respectfully in the hall and worshiped a young-looking monk above.
"Meet the Master."
"Meet the Patriarch."
"Meet the master."
The seemingly young monk was none other than Zhang Zhixuan, but many of the monks who worshiped him were gray-haired elderly people.
The monks in the temple include not only senior officials of Ziyang Sect, but also some younger descendants of Yuanying monks.
Since Qing Chan became the soul, Zhang Zhixuan's seniority has also increased greatly.
Although he has not been a monk for a long time, he is already on equal terms with Yuanshen monks.
Even a big shot like Guo Songren, the head of the Huangji Sect, feels quite honored to be able to chat and laugh with Zhang Zhixuan.
This time, on Zhang Zhixuan’s 1000th birthday, even Taoist Yu appeared in person.
The two Yuanshen monks were sitting at the top. Although they looked ordinary, they had a special Taoist charm about them, which gave people a feeling of being as bright as stars and as clear as river water. People could not help but feel convinced and worshiped them devoutly.
Zhang Zhixuan looked at the shadowy disciples and disciples below, and suddenly said with emotion: "Time is like running water, thousands of years have passed in the blink of an eye. Back then, I was farming and studying in Lingjing Mountain. This scene seems like yesterday, but it is a pity that the relatives who were there back then
Friends have long since withered away. I remember that in Xihefang City, a monk in the Qi training stage almost killed me..."
Zhang Zhixuan chattered non-stop, talking about many old things from back then. Everyone present in the Jindanzi Mansion listened with gusto, without any sign of impatience. That is to say, he has an extremely high level of cultivation, and his wife is an expert in Yuanshen.
, otherwise who would want to listen to this kind of old sesame and rotten millet thing.
"Okay, everyone is impatient to listen to my nagging. The banquet is about to start. After the birthday banquet, Lingjing Mountain will hold a large-scale trade fair. We old guys will also tell everyone our insights on the Taoism.
."
Zhang Zhixuan waved his hand and asked everyone to exit the Ancestral Master Hall, leaving only some old friends and top experts like Taoist Yu behind.
Looking at Zhang Zhixuan's aura, Taoist Yu smiled a little, and slowly said: "It seems that Zhang Xiaoyou has already walked out of his own path. Yuanying rushed up and quickly refined the power of the rules, which is no more than a dozen years old."
Friends must be from my generation."
"Old senior, you are ridiculous. Breaking through the soul is dangerous and unpredictable. If you fail, you may die. The reason why I am holding a birthday banquet this time is uncharacteristically because I want to take this opportunity to meet my old friends."
Upon hearing Zhang Zhixuan's words, many Nascent Souls present were suddenly curious. Many people thought to themselves: "How can it be so dangerous to refine the Nascent Spirit? It is said that the headmaster Zhang of Ziyang Sect has a strong foundation, far exceeding the average ninth level of Nascent Soul."
, Elder Qian of Liuyun Valley broke through the Yuan Shen three times without any harm, why did the leader Zhang's own breakthrough become dangerous and unpredictable, as if he would die in an instant?"
However, the monks in the sect who have some background know this very well.
The stronger the foundation of a person, the more dangerous it is to break through the soul.
Once the Yuanying is dissipated, there is no way forward. Once the monks who have reached this point have not refined the Yuanshen, their souls will surely be scattered and their lives will be ruined.
For Qian Danqing and his like to break through the Yuanshen, they need to consolidate the foundation step by step. The first time they break through the Yuanshen is still far away from the dissipation of the Yuanying. The risk is not very great. After the third breakthrough, the risk of hitting the bottleneck of the Yuanshen again will be
Big increase.
People like Qing Yunzi and Zhang Zhixuan, who broke through the Yuanshen for the first time, were able to reach the point of dispersing the Yuanying. Attacking the bottleneck of the Yuanshen must be a failure or failure.
Although there were some doubts in their hearts, the Nascent Soul monks present naturally did not ask questions. After all, Ziyang Sect was already a superior Yuanshen sect, and ordinary Yuanying monks did not dare to question it at all, but instead sent out congratulations one after another.
The banquet started soon. With the current background of Ziyang Sect, the spiritual objects used to entertain everyone were rare treasures in the world of immortality.
The Golden Elixir monks of Zi Mansion all entertained guests with vermilion fruits, and the Yuanying monks not only had sixth-level spiritual tea, but also six or seven kinds of rare and exotic fruits.
Although the spiritual objects used to entertain everyone are of extraordinary value, the monks who participate in the celebration will also bring generous gifts.
After all, if this banquet is held, the Ziyang Sect will not lose money.
After the banquet ended, the dozen or so senior monks present began to take turns preaching.
There were more than 200 Nascent Soul monks attending the banquet. In addition to the two Nascent Souls Qing Chan and Taoist Yu, there were more than a dozen top Nascent Soul monks. Even Liang Jingchong, the head of Yanghuo Palace, came to Lingjing Mountain early.
He behaved extremely tamely, obviously afraid that the Ziyang Sect would turn against him and start a war.
Of course, Liang Jingchong judged a gentleman with a villain's heart.
Although Qing Chan had become a soul, Zhang Zhixuan had no plans to expand. After all, the Ziyang Sect's territory was vast and sparsely populated, so low-level spiritual objects were not in short supply.
Even if we expand on a large scale to the outside world, it will be difficult to train a large number of senior executives.
In fact, the Ziyang Sect's strategy is to lay a solid foundation and not expand on a large scale to avoid attracting attention from the Nanya Prefecture Sect and provoking internal conflicts.
More than a dozen high-level monks gave lectures. Although they did not involve their own fundamental skills, some of the unique tips they shared could also benefit lower-level monks throughout their lives.
