In the past two years, a major event also happened. The mountain gate of Ma's family in Jiufeng Mountain was occupied by a non-commercial cultivator in the foundation building stage. This non-commercial cultivator had already built the seventh level of foundation. He was only one hundred and twenty years old, and
A glimmer of opportunity to open up the Purple Mansion.
This person's name is Su Heng. Although he only built the seventh floor, he is very famous in Black Mountain, no less famous than Zhang Tairen, the founder of the Zhang family.
Zhang Jiajia advocated Tairen, who was the first casual cultivator in Montenegro and was also the two most famous alchemists in Montenegro. Except for Liang Patriarch, who was a fourth-level mid-level monk, he was the leader in alchemy among the monks in Montenegro.
Because he could not compete with Liang Taixu in alchemy in Heishan, Zhang Tairen returned to his hometown of Taicheng County to start a family after having no hope of opening the Zifu.
After settling in Lushan, his alchemy skills improved by leaps and bounds, and he became a fourth-level low-level alchemist before the age of 200. The elixir he refined at that time almost dominated the cities of the three southeastern counties. Even the elixir of Qingxuan Sect could not compete with it.
He competes.
The reason why Su Heng is so famous is that, like Zhang Zhixuan, he is a monk who has not taken the foundation-building pill to build the foundation. Generally speaking, such monks are not easy to mess with. Not only are they powerful and have amazing perseverance, but they also have little chance of opening up the Zifu.
Bigger.
Su Heng has been living in Montenegro for sixty or seventy years. After the East Pole Locust Rebellion, all the elixirs he planted in the mountain gate were eaten by the East Pole Locusts, and even his ordinary wives and daughters were killed.
Such a blow made him a little discouraged, so he returned to his hometown after the war and prepared to settle in Jiufeng Mountain.
The head of the Ma family in Jiufeng Mountain has died, and the monks in the Qi training period have also gone to Qingxuan Sect, so this spiritual mountain has become empty. In recent years, it has made Black Mountain's casual cultivators jealous.
After all, compared to Heishan, Taicheng County is not only safer close to the hinterland, but the Ma family monks have been operating Jiufeng Mountain for hundreds of years and have opened up a large number of spiritual fields, and the conditions are far better than those in Heishan's spiritual veins.
The reason why they did not take action was because they were concerned about Qingxuan Sect's influence.
They would not dare to act rashly until Qingxuanzong made his attitude clear.
After all, compared to many years ago, the discovery of the Lingshi Mine in Taicheng County immediately increased its importance to Qingxuan Sect by several levels.
Qingxuanzong had two Zifu period monks stationed in Chaoyin Mountain. Without Qingxuanzong's acquiescence, no one would dare to occupy this spiritual mountain.
Su Heng was not very courageous. He went directly to Chaoyin Mountain to find Zifu monk Sun Changgeng and made it clear that he wanted to occupy Jiufeng Mountain.
Sun Changgeng was also happy to see Su Heng's request come true. After all, Su Heng was not an ordinary monk. Like Kang Duhe who settled in Jiangkou County, he had the possibility of opening up the Zifu.
Every monk of this kind who settles down within the control of Qingxuan Sect and becomes a vassal of Qingxuan Sect is beneficial to Qingxuan Sect.
If they haven't opened the Zifu yet, they won't compete with Qingxuanzong for interests, they will only be helpers.
Even if these people open up the Zi Mansion, as long as they don't have the skills of Patriarch Liang, they will still have to look at Qingxuanzong's face in the three southeastern counties, unless they can leave here and go to another place to open up Lingshan Mountain.
Moreover, there is a system within the Qingxuan Sect that can win over these vassal Zifu casual cultivators to join the sect, become the elders of the sect, and bring them into the Qingxuan Sect's chariot to fight together.
Lu Hongniang, the most powerful Zifu cultivator of Qingxuan Sect, was originally a casual cultivator, and her master was also a casual cultivator in Black Mountain. Because she did not have the conditions in her early years, like Zhang Zhixuan, she did not wait for the foundation building pill. At the age of thirty-six,
Just take the risk and pass the level and become a foundation-building monk.
The master and apprentice supported each other for decades in Montenegro. Lu Hongniang became a monk of the Zifu at the age of ninety-three. She not only opened up the Zifu, but also helped her two junior brothers build the foundation successfully.
After that, Taoist Jin Lan personally came forward and invited her to serve as an elder in Qingxuan Sect. It has been two hundred years since then.
Lu Hongniang took her junior brothers, junior sisters, and disciples to join the Qingxuan Sect, and she accumulated merit for two hundred years and became the most important Zifu elder of the Qingxuan Sect. Now, even Taoist Jin Lan of the Qingxuan Sect can't look down on her.
Even Wu Siheng of the Wu family was a monk of the Zifu who was supported by her personally.
Wu Siheng's master was Lu Hongniang's junior brother. Wu Siheng's backers in Qingxuanzong back then were his direct elder Lu Hongniang and secondly his fellow monk Zhang Chuyun. It was precisely because of these two Zifu monks that Wu Siheng was in Qingxuanzong.
Only by doing so can you have a smooth journey and successfully break through the realm of Zifu.
Because of this factor, Wu Sixeng lost his temper when the Zhang family's Jiuhua Mountain was captured. He spoke up for the Zhang family and directly targeted Patriarch Jin, mocking him for being seduced by women and sitting back and watching his direct disciples' families being driven out and exterminated.
Such words also put a lot of pressure on Patriarch Jin, and also made him have some feelings for the Zhang family. After that, Xihefang was captured, and it was because Wu Sixeng got angry that Hu Peiyu personally took action and killed Wei Mazi and others.
Cut off the Hu family's minions and helpers, awakened Hu Boyu, and made them peaceful for decades.
Su Heng went to Chaoyin Mountain in person, had a long talk with Sun Changgeng, and finally obtained Sun Changgeng's permission to occupy the spiritual vein of Jiufeng Mountain and prepare to settle in Taicheng County.
After he settled in Jiufeng Mountain, he married a dozen low-level female cultivators and concubines, preparing to settle down in Taicheng County and establish a new cultivating family like Zhang Tairen.
After he stabilized in Jiufeng Mountain, he immediately went to Yanlaifeng and found Wu Xiangjie of the Wu family, hoping to join the family alliance in Taicheng County.
For such a master with a high level of cultivation, Wu Xiangjie certainly would not push him outside. Soon Wu Xiangjie asked Zhang Zhixuan and Liu Zixuan for their opinions and agreed to Su Heng joining the alliance.
Moreover, Wu Xiangjie also gave up his family's quota to go to the Southern Wilderness, allowing Su Heng to lead a team to trade in Black Mountain this year to earn resources for this new family.
Two years have passed since I obtained the Xuanyin Fruit. Counting the months that the Xuanyin Fruit was stored in Taixu Pavilion, if it is not used, the Xuanyin Fruit will turn into pure spiritual energy and dissipate.
You know, the shelf life of this spiritual fruit is only three years.
It took monks from the Zhang family two years of collecting and traveling almost half of the Yu Kingdom to collect all the materials for refining this third-level elixir.
From this we can see how difficult it is for a small family to refine third-level elixirs.
Now the Zhang family has the inheritance of five third-level alchemy recipes, which is very extraordinary. You must know that Zhang Tairen became a fourth-level alchemy master, and he only had seven third-level alchemy recipes and one fourth-level alchemy recipe.
Unfortunately, in order to raise resources to open up the Zi Mansion for his son, he could only swear an oath to leave his alchemy inheritance entirely to Qingxuan Sect.
If the legacy of Patriarch Tai Ren could be passed down, Zhang Zhixuan's alchemy skills would have advanced ten years earlier.
The family's five types of elixirs require a total of six main medicines. In addition to the compound eyes of the third-level East Pole Locust, Zhang Zhixuan has arranged for people to collect these elixir seeds in the past few years and cultivated an acre of second-level high-grade spiritual fields in Lingjing Mountain.
, a relatively small elixir garden was reopened.
It's a pity that most of the main ingredients of the third-level elixir take hundreds of years. Water from afar cannot quench the thirst of the nearer. If you want to rely on these seeds to make an elixir, you may have to wait two to three hundred years.
Two or three hundred years later, Zhang Zhixuan will either succeed in opening the Purple Mansion without needing these third-level elixirs, or he will turn into a handful of loess.
This kind of arrangement is a long-term consideration and is planned for the future monks of the family.
