Chapter three hundred and seventy-two flying beasts
After Zhang Zhixuan returned to Black Mountain from Qingxuan Sect, Han Yan also ended her retreat. After using the Ice Marrow Spirit Flower, she broke through to the fourth floor of the Purple Mansion in the same year as Zhang Zhixuan.
Now, the three Zifu monks of the Zhang family have all passed through the early stage of Zifu and have caught up with some of the veteran Zifu of Qingxuan Sect. Their influence in the sect is increasing day by day, and they are now second only to the two Jindan ancestors.
Just when the Black Mountain monks were jubilant and celebrating their ancestor's breakthrough, good news came from the Qingxuan Sect.
Kang Duhe finally lived up to expectations and successfully opened up Zifu with the help of Xuanying Chalcedony.
At this time, it had been more than sixty years since he last attacked the Zifu Realm. After sixty years of hard work, he finally seized this opportunity and advanced to the Zifu Realm after Zhang Zhixuan, becoming the seventeenth member of the Qingxuan Sect. Monk from Zi Mansion.
Secondly, Hu Peiyu also walked out of seclusion and became the second ninth-level monk of the Purple Mansion in the sect.
There were continuous breakthroughs, and Qingxuan Sect finally opened up the gap with Hongshan Sect and Nanlu Pavilion Alliance.
With Hu Peiyu and Zhu Wuya, two ninth-level cultivators from the Purple Mansion, joining forces, even if Lu Hongniang is restrained in Guiyuan Mountain, it will be enough to deter Shen Chenzhou and steadily cooperate with Patriarch Jin to hold Jiangkou County.
In the past three years, Zhang Yuantai successfully built the foundation after taking two foundation-building pills in succession, becoming the sixth monk of the Zhang family in the foundation-building period.
Lu Yingling, a casual cultivator who also broke through the retreat, also succeeded in building the foundation with the help of the foundation-building pill.
Lu Yingling's family was occupied by monsters and reduced to the wilderness. He has become a casual cultivator. After establishing the foundation in Black Mountain, he simply established himself here. He occupied a third-level spiritual vein not far from Black Mountain and married two people from Black Mountain. A female cultivator in the Qi-training stage recruited several young casual disciples and became a vassal force attached to the Zhang family.
Starting more than ten years ago, Zhang Zhixuan increased his investment in the Black Mountain Spiritual Medicine Garden. He specially opened the Spiritual Medicine Garden near the Hanjiaotan Spirit Vein and planted a large number of spiritual medicines.
After more than ten years, some first- and second-level elixirs have matured, and the elixir garden has also been produced. Since Zhang Zhixuan came back from the Song Dynasty last time, he brought a large number of elixir seeds, except for some elixirs that require special growth environments. Medicine, these seeds are sown in the elixir garden.
Over the past ten years or so, hundreds of acres of spiritual land have been cultivated in this spiritual medicine garden, and more than 20,000 spiritual stones have been invested.
These spiritual fields are scattered in an orderly manner around Hanjiao Pond, and they also require special monks to take care of and guard them.
Hanjiaotan is the best spiritual vein near Heishan, and it is also very close to Heishan. It is the basis for Zhang Zhixuan's management of Heishan. In order to continue the operation for a long time, the Zhang family has prepared to build a town near Hanjiaotan and move mortals to cultivate the land.
After thirty years of development, despite the chaos of monsters and beasts, the number of mortals on Black Mountain has doubled, to a population of 40,000.
These mortals have adapted to the living environment of the Southern Wilderness. As long as they are protected by the monks, they can thrive near Black Mountain.
Zhang Zhixuan has decided to move 10,000 people to Hanjiaotan after the new city is built.
As long as there is a sufficient population base, even if there is a temporary failure in the future, we can continue to cultivate generations of monks, relying on a large number of low-level monks to firmly guard the spiritual mountains and spiritual veins.
The mortals on the Black Mountain are all descendants and relatives of the monks, and their bloodline is very good.
Heishan County has a population of only 40,000. Every spirit detection meeting held every five years can detect several children with spiritual roots. The number of monks provided is almost the same as that of Lushan County, which has a population of 200,000. It is far more than 60,000. Population of Huashan County.
In the past thirty years, the Zhang clan relied on whale beast ships and migrated some handsome men and beautiful women to Montenegro, where they intermarried on a large scale with the mortals of Montenegro. Although many people died because they could not adapt to the hot environment of Montenegro, they also succeeded in bringing them to Montenegro.
The family bloodline spread to Heishan County.
Monks whose families were hopeless and whose spiritual roots were not good were also taking wives and concubines on a large scale in Heishan County and marrying loose monks in Heishan.
Nowadays, among the population of 40,000 in Black Mountain, 10,000 people already have Zhang family blood in their bodies. As long as the Zhang family continues this strategy, in one or two hundred years, the entire Black Mountain spiritual lineage will naturally be integrated into the Zhang family.
.
Zhang Zhixuan had finished his meditation and was chatting with Qing Chan on the top of the mountain. A burst of hurried footsteps came from a distance. Zhang Zhixuan looked up and found that the person coming was Zhang Yuantai, who had just built the foundation.
After Zhang Yuantai established the foundation, he also stayed in Heishan, helping Zhang Guangyang manage the foundation of Heishan and also managing the Hanjiaotan Spiritual Medicine Garden.
His spiritual roots are not very good, and his ambition is very small. He is satisfied with his cultivation when he reaches the foundation building stage. Since the foundation building, he has only devoted a small part of his energy to cultivation. Most of his time is not managing family chores, or continuing to study spirituality in depth.
liquor.
Seeing that Zhang Yuantai couldn't hide his joy, Zhang Zhixuan asked directly: "Why did Yuantai come back today?"
Zhang Yuantai said excitedly: "Uncle, I found a flying beast in the medicine field near Hanjiaotan today."
After hearing the news, even Zhang Zhixuan and the others couldn't sit still. Han Yan stood up directly and asked: "Have you seen it clearly, are you sure it's a flying beast?"
Zhang Yuantai said: "Reporting to my ancestor, it is indeed a flying beast. Recently, the blood coagulation fruits planted in the elixir garden have been missing for no reason. I thought it was stolen by the monks in the Qi training period who were guarding the elixir, so I used an invisibility charm to hide it in the spiritual elixir."
In the medicine garden, I accidentally saw the flying beast."
Although the Flying Beast is only a third-level high-grade monster, it is very precious to monks because it is a monster that can be tamed by human monks.
This kind of monster belongs to the Pegasus type. It can fly on clouds at an altitude of several hundred feet, and its speed far exceeds the escape skills of foundation-building monks.
In the vast Southern Wilderness, monster beasts that can be domesticated by human monks have always been very rare. Qingxuan Sect has only captured a few flying beasts for thousands of years. Unfortunately, these flying beasts are rare in number. Although the sect has gone through many hardships
, so far only three flying beasts have been cultivated.
These three flying beasts are all female. One of them is over 600 years old and will enter a period of decline in a few years. If breeding and reproduction are not possible in the near future, Qingxuan Sect's hundreds of years of hard work will be useless.
For hundreds of years, the sect's general affairs hall has been issuing missions to find and capture flying beasts. As long as a male beast is captured, the general affairs hall's reward is very generous, with a total of 30,000 good deeds. Even if it captures a female beast, it also has 10,000 good deeds.
of rewards.
Even the monks in the Zifu period are tempted by such a generous reward.
Zhao Xinlian, Sun Changgeng, and Shen Conglong also teamed up to go deep into the Southern Wilderness to capture the flying beast. Unfortunately, the three of them worked hard for three or four years but failed to capture the male beast and only captured one female beast.
After thinking about it, the three of them felt that it was not cost-effective, so they did not continue to waste time on arresting them. The monks in the Zifu period did not take action, and the monks in the foundation period could not catch up with the flying beast at all. Even if some Qingxuanzong monks occasionally discovered the flying beast, they basically caught it.
