The three elders were all cunning and experienced practitioners who had practiced for many years. The reason why they did not suspect Zhang Zhixuan allowed Qing Chan to easily enter the genealogy and integrate into the family.
Firstly, because Zhang Zhixuan is the next generation of monks in the family who has the fastest cultivation and the longest future. Moreover, he is of Miaohong origin and is the direct bloodline of the monks of the Zhang family.
Secondly, Tianlinggen monks are extremely rare and are almost rare to see in hundreds of years. It is impossible for the three elders to think so far ahead.
Third, integrating monks with foreign surnames into the family has been a strategy that the Zhang family has adhered to for hundreds of years. Qingchan is still young and a local monk who knows his roots well, so it is easy for him to integrate into the family.
The three elders took away the spiritual rice and replenished some spiritual stones for Zhang Zhixuan.
Some of these spiritual stones are regarded as Zhang Zhixuan's annual welfare benefits, and the other part are resources for cultivating high-level spiritual medicines.
Every ten days, Zhang Zhixuan must crush a spiritual stone to replenish the spiritual energy for the most important dozens of high-level elixirs. Every year, these dozens of beads of spiritual herbs consume more than thirty spiritual stones.
The most important few beads of spiritual grass are over three hundred years old. For this small medicinal garden, the family has spent more than a few thousand spiritual stones in total.
After the three elders left together, Zhang Zhixuan began his busy pastoral life again.
Two months after the spiritual rice was harvested, new seeds were sown.
Two more wild bees in the White Jade Beehive evolved into White Jade Bees.
There were almost no changes in the dozens of high-level elixirs, and new yellow bud grass sprouted and sprouted young leaves more than a foot tall.
In the blink of an eye, another three months passed
Although Qing Chan is not too diligent in his cultivation, he has broken through several realms in succession. By reaching the eighth level of innateness, he is about to break through the innate stage and enter the qi-training stage.
Zhang Zhixuan started practicing at the age of six, broke through the innateness at the age of seven and a half, and entered the middle stage of Qi training at the age of eleven, which already caused a sensation in the Zhang family.
Qing Chan has been able to break through the eighth level of innateness in just four months of practice. Once his family finds out, it will probably cause a lot of trouble.
Because of this worry, even though Qing Chan didn't like to meditate and practice, Zhang Zhixuan didn't care about her. He followed her temper and spent most of the day playing wildly in the spiritual field.
In recent months, Qingchan's biggest hobby has been to steal some honey from the jade bees. Even though she was stung by jade bees three times and her nose was bruised and her face was swollen, she still enjoyed it and accumulated a lot of experience in dealing with jade bees.
The White Jade Beehive was discovered, and the family paid more attention to it.
Although the family is currently struggling to make ends meet, they still took out 3,000 low-grade spiritual stones and refined a second-level spirit gathering array to cultivate spiritual veins.
Three months have passed, and under the influence of the spirit gathering formation, the spiritual energy here has become more and more abundant, reaching the level of second-level low-grade.
According to the estimation of the Fourth Uncle Zhang Menglong, in another ten years, as long as the formation eyes are continuously watered with the spiritual water from the spiritual well, the spiritual veins will be able to increase by a small level.
Even though he already has spiritual veins, Zhang Zhixuan's cultivation has reached the peak of the middle stage of Qi training, and Qing Chan is about to break through the innate stage. Once Qing Chan starts to refine the spiritual energy, the spiritual energy here will soon be unable to make ends meet.
Long-term overloading of spiritual energy will cause great damage to the spiritual veins. The family has invested so many resources and will not let Zhang Zhixuan be so reckless.
During this period of time, Zhang Zhixuan had made up his mind that during the few years of farming at the foot of the mountain, he would take spiritual pills to improve his cultivation.
According to the family’s experience in taking Golden Bud Pill, four pills of Golden Bud Pill can be taken every year.
Each refining of one golden bud pill can improve one's cultivation by about two months, and four golden bud pills can improve one's cultivation by eight months.
Besides, there is also a spiritual vein in the spiritual field, although the grade of the spiritual vein is still low.
Even if one year of practice is only equivalent to half a year in Shanmen, you can still improve some mana, and the progress may not be much slower than in Shanmen.
With a plan in mind, Zhang Zhixuan was ready to go to the family shop in Fangshi to buy Jinya Dan when there was a little free time in Lingtian.
There are not many wealthy people in the mountain gate for such elixir as Golden Bud Pill. Even if the monks within the family want to buy extra Golden Bud Pill, they have to go to the shops in the market to sell it.
It has been about a year since Jinyadan was refined, and there should still be some stocks in the market.
If another year or two passes, even if Zhang Zhixuan wants to buy the elixir, he may not be able to do anything.
The elixirs are all refined from the essence of plants and trees, spiritual water and spiritual substances. They contain a hint of erysipelas and should not be abused without restraint.
Generally, formal alchemy pavilions in the city will explain the taboos of monks taking alchemy.
These taboos will be strictly observed by monks who take elixirs. If something happens due to misuse of elixirs, neither the elixir pavilion nor the alchemist will take care of it.
The Zhang family has been refining Golden Bud Pill for many years, and the family also has deep experience in taking pills.
A family monk like Zhang Zhixuan who has some inheritance will not easily buy the elixir sold by other families if he does not have the elixir recipe in hand and does not know the foundation of the elixir.
The city closest to Lushan is called Xihefang. Xihefang is located on the west bank of the Lijiang River, the largest river in the three southeastern counties.
Xihefang is about 1,200 miles away from Lushan Mountain Gate. If you go from the direction of Lushan County, you can save half the distance by taking a shortcut.
According to the speed at which Zhang Zhixuan used the light body technique, he could reach Xihefang in three or four hours by running with all his strength.
Zhang Zhixuan made preparations, opened the protective formation in the Lingtian, and brought several low-level monks from Lushan City to the Lingtian to look after him for a day or two.
He also told Qingchan to light a beacon for help whenever there was any abnormal movement.
Early in the morning, Zhang Zhixuan started on his way in the dusty weather.
During the Qi training period, monks cannot fly for long periods of time, and traveling at full speed is a very difficult task. Zhang Zhixuan was almost dead from exhaustion before he arrived at Xihefangzhong in the afternoon.
Xihefang is surrounded by clouds and mist, and dozens of rooms can be vaguely seen.
There is only one street in the square, with twenty-six houses on both sides of the street. When Zhang Zhixuan arrived, the square was deserted and almost deserted.
Although Zhang Zhixuan came to Fangshi for the first time, he still found his family's store for the first time.
The Zhang family was one of the founders of Xihefang. At its peak, half of the shops in Xihefang were owned by Zhang family monks.
Unfortunately, in the past hundred years, the power of the Zhang family has gradually declined, leaving only eight shops in the market.
Because the family's power has declined, there are not many monks who can support the business. Three of the eight shops have been rented out, and now only five shops are run by Zhang family monks.
The largest room is the Dan Pavilion of the Zhang family, called Baicao Pavilion.
