Li Zigong grew up in Qingxuan Sect all his life. Among the dozens of purple houses in the sect, he probably had the deepest feelings for Qingxuan Sect, so he gave up his personal path and spent a lot of time managing the sect.
The Qingxuan Sect does not have the position of head, but the head of the general affairs hall is equivalent to the head. Hearing that the sect might join a Tianlinggen monk, Li Zigong immediately suppressed the little calculation in his heart, and said it sincerely
Happy.
"If it is really a Tianlinggen cultivator, as long as this person joins the sect, we will definitely have one more Jindan cultivator in a hundred years, and then the number one sect in the Yu Kingdom will become our Qingxuan Sect."
Patriarch Jin smiled bitterly and said: "I'm afraid things are not as you expected. Zhang Zhixuan, the Taoist monk, may also be a trap set up by Sect Leader Liu, and he may be her chosen disciple. He may not be willing to join the sect. Or with Liang Taixu,
Just like You Nianwei, let her be a guest elder who can come and go freely! If the sect wants to develop and grow, it still needs to rely on its own people who are innocent."
After coming out of Huaping Mountain, Li Zigong returned directly to Qingxuan Sect. He did not come to the door rashly, but revealed his meaning to the Zhang family in a vague way through the cold smoke.
After Qing Chan opened the Zi Mansion, although Zhang Zhixuan and Zhang Zhixuan had no intention of holding a celebration in a big way, they could not dissuade family members such as the patriarch and Sihong. In the end, they decided to organize it on a small scale and only invited local families in Taicheng County.
.
Unfortunately, when this news spread, countless strange monks soon arrived. Most of these monks came from Longjiang and Liaoshan counties, as well as some foundation-building families from the three northern counties. They sent foundation-building monks to visit in person.
In just one month, hundreds of foundation builders gathered on Tiantai Peak. Except for a few local families, these people were almost strangers to Zhang Zhixuan.
Han Yan and Si Dao also came back from Qingxuan Sect. Seeing Qing Chan open the Zi Mansion in advance, Han Yan also strengthened his confidence in his heart. He planned to choose to retreat when he returned to the sect this time, and would never open the door until he broke through the Zi Mansion.
Taking this opportunity, Han Yan also conveyed Li Zigong's message to Zhang Zhixuan and Zhang Zhixuan.
To practice within the Yu Kingdom, one cannot avoid the four major sects. Since Qing Chan has opened up the Zi Mansion and is considered a high-level official in the Yu Kingdom, of course he has to deal with the Qing Xuan Sect.
The Zhang family's Lingjing Mountain is only a third-level low-grade spiritual vein, which is not suitable for Qing Chan, a monk from the Zifu, to practice.
To cultivate the fourth-level spiritual veins requires one hundred thousand spiritual stones, and to invite the fourth-level array mage Wang Chengxiang, it must be inseparable from Qingxuan Sect.
Although the Zhang family has made a lot of money in recent years, it will take at least a hundred years to raise 100,000 spiritual stones. Zhang Zhixuan and the two cannot wait too long, so if the Zhang family wants fourth-level spiritual veins, they can only come from the southern wilderness.
seize.
It is easy to kill the fourth-level monsters from the southern wasteland, but it is very difficult to seize the spiritual veins. Without the support of a big force, it is almost impossible to succeed.
For long-term considerations, after Zhang Zhixuan discussed with Qing Chan, he decided to let Qing Chan join Qingxuan Sect as the guest elder.
Elder Keqing can come and go freely, has a prominent status, and can also use the Qingxuan Sect's system of good practices to practice.
After Qing Chan opened the Zi Mansion, it was no longer appropriate to practice the Zhang family's Xuan Bing Sutra. After all, this technique was more suitable for Ice Spirit Root monks. As long as you join the Qing Xuan Sect, you can quickly use the sect's good deeds to exchange for suitable
The technique will not delay her from continuing to practice after she advances to the Zifu stage.
As for joining the sect and being tied to the Qingxuan Sect's chariot, Zhang Zhixuan and the two didn't care at all. They were originally vassals of the Qingxuan Sect, and they didn't have much choice.
How can the Qingxuan Sect, which has been run by ancestors for many years and has intricate relationships, still gain the trust of Yang Wangyuan of the Hongshan Sect without taking sides?
After receiving positive news from Zhang Zhixuan, Li Zigong also received reassurance. On behalf of the Qingxuan Sect, he invited Qingchan to join the sect, and personally announced the matter at Qingchan's Zifu celebration, and he was generous. Transferred to Qingchan's six thousand meritorious deeds.
After Qingchan received the good merit, as expected by Patriarch Jin, she chose Tianhe Dafa, a technique suitable for the water-attributed Tianling root, which allowed the senior monks of Qingxuan Sect to guess her spiritual root.
The Wu family was most affected by the news that Qing Chan had opened the Zi Mansion.
After Wu Xiangjie died in the battle, although Qing Xuanzong gave the foundation building pill, the monks chosen by the Wu family to take the pill failed to build the foundation. The Wu family is now headed by Wu Xiangwen, who is older than Zhang Leqian, and his longevity will be exhausted almost immediately. .
After he left, the three remaining Ji Jis of the Wu family were far inferior to the Zhang family in terms of cultivation, and the three Ji Ji clan members of their Qingxuan Sect had far less bright prospects than Han Yan.
Once the Zhang family chooses to compete for interests with the Wu family, conflict will inevitably break out in Taicheng County.
Especially Xihefang, the earliest control rights belonged to the Zhang family. After Zhang Chuyun passed away, the Wu family used various means to regain control of Xihefang. In addition, some people deliberately provoked conflicts between the two monks, and a conflict was about to break out. .
Although Wu Xiangwen was not as far-sighted as Wu Xiangji, he had personally experienced the cooperation and struggle between the Zhang and Wu families for more than two hundred years. He pondered for a long time and decided to give up some of his interests to ease the conflicts between the two families.
After all, this is not two hundred years ago, and Qingxuanzong's backing is far less stable than it was then.
Not only are the monsters from the Southern Wilderness coming, but there are also enemies like Hongshan Sect and Nanlu Pavilion in the north that are eyeing each other. If the Zhang and Wu families hate each other, they can only be taken advantage of by foreign enemies.
He made a prompt decision, refuted Wu Xiangheng's objection, personally participated in Qingchan's Purple Mansion Ceremony, and presented the land deeds to eight shops in Xihefang at the ceremony, determined to work together with the Zhang family to jointly control Taicheng County.
And Zhang Zhixuan has no intention of falling out with the Wu family to compete for interests. After all, Wu Siheng has been very fond of Han Yan in recent years, and he once stood up for the interests of the Zhang family and offended Patriarch Jin. His character is very worthy of recognition.
If the Zhang family wants to open up new sources of wealth, they can only find a way from Southern Wilderness, and will not target Yanlai Peak.
Seeing that Wu Xiangwen was such a good person, Zhang Zhixuan reciprocated the favor and only accepted the land deeds of four shops to show that he had no intention of breaking up with the Wu family.
After the celebration ended, Taicheng County fell into calm again.
Even though Qing Chan opened the Zi Mansion, the Zhang and Wu families did not choose conflict, but chose to compromise with each other and face external enemies together.
Not long after, Han Yan sent a letter from Qingxuanzong, and decided to tell his family that he had closed the gate of death and was preparing to break through the Zifu realm.
This news surprised Zhang Zhixuan. Han Yan was a spiritual root monk. If he wanted to use foreign objects, he could only choose the most expensive Xuanying Chalcedony.
Zhang Zhixuan originally wanted to wait for Qing Chan to stabilize his state, then go to the southern wilderness to hunt the fourth-level monsters and raise good deeds for Han Yan to exchange for Xuanying chalcedony. Unexpectedly, Han Yan was not willing to wait for even a few years.
After receiving the letter, Zhang Zhixuan hurriedly fled to Qingxuan Sect, hoping to persuade Han Yan to think carefully and not to act impulsively, so as not to delay his journey.
Unexpectedly, when he went to Qingxuan Sect, Han Yan had already closed the death gate and saw no one.
In desperation, Zhang Zhixuan could only return home sadly and told the clan leader the news.
After hearing this, the clan leader could only sigh helplessly. Although the clan leader was aware of the grievances between them, what could he say?
