On the entire Lushan Mountain, there are three places with the most abundant spiritual energy. One is in the back mountain, which supports the clan leaders for their cultivation.
The other place is Wangyue Pavilion, which mainly supports the cultivation of underage family monks and elderly monks.
The only remaining place is at the top of the mountain, where almost all the adult monks living at the mountain gate practice.
Zhang Zhixuan's steps are light. He can move three feet away quickly by just touching the ground. This is the benefit of practicing the light body technique.
If a sixth-level qi-training monk like him drives with all his strength, he can cover a distance of three hundred miles in an hour, which is not much slower than a car in his previous life.
Unfortunately, his mana is still somewhat insufficient. If he runs with all his strength, it will only take two hours for his mana to be exhausted.
In less than half an hour, Zhang Zhixuan had arrived at the top of the mountain.
I saw more than a dozen tall green bamboos standing on the top of the mountain. These dozen green bamboos were not ordinary objects, but second-order high-grade spiritual trees, Qingling Yuzhu.
The cultivation of monks is divided into Xiantian, Qi training, Jiji, Zifu, Jindan, Yuanying, Yuanshen, Huixu and Hedao nine mirrors.
Spiritual grasses and spiritual trees are divided into nine levels according to their spiritual energy and efficacy. Among them, the ninth level is the highest and has long been extinct in this world. Even the seventh-level spiritual trees have been rare for tens of thousands of years.
Under each level, it is divided into three levels: upper, middle and lower.
If these dozen beads of second-grade high-grade spiritual wood Qingling Jade Bamboo are refined into magic weapons, they can add a second-grade high-grade magic sword to every monk in the family.
These green bamboos are scattered in an orderly manner, and the planting place of each green bamboo has been carefully selected and located in a place full of spiritual energy.
After the family's arrangement, these green bamboos have been arranged into a third-level low-grade formation, the Qingguang Bamboo Sea Formation.
As long as there is a Qi-training monk holding the formation flag under each Qingling Yuzhu, relying on this third-level low-grade formation, you can easily resist the attack of an early-stage foundation-building monk.
Zhang Zhixuan took a closer look and saw that there was a golden futon placed under each Qingling Yuzhu. A dozen monks over thirty years old were sitting on the futon, motionless, practicing quietly.
Zhang Zhixuan took out a jade talisman from his waist and transferred a little bit of magic power. The jade talisman released a faint spiritual light and shot directly into the formation.
In an instant, more than a dozen green bamboos swayed gently, bursts of spiritual light emitted ripples, and then a gate suddenly appeared in the open space in front.
Zhang Zhixuan walked more than thirty steps along the gate and walked directly into a hall that was more than one foot eight feet high.
There are dozens of shelves of books placed in the hall, among which there are more than a dozen jade slips placed on the front. This hall is the most important building of the Zhang family, the Sutra Pavilion.
Zhang Mengling, the second elder of the family and a ninth-level qi cultivator who is not yet fifty years old, is sitting upright in the main hall.
Zhang Mengling's qualifications are also extraordinary. He is a second spiritual root monk and has been practicing to the ninth level of Qi training for more than ten years.
It's a pity that the family's power has declined in recent years and they are unable to provide him with foundation-building pills.
Under normal circumstances, Zhang Mengling may have to wait ten years.
After a Qi-training monk reaches the age of sixty, his Qi and blood will gradually lose weight, his confidence in building a foundation will become smaller and smaller, and his probability of success will become lower and lower.
Although Zhang Mengling has extraordinary spiritual roots, he does not dare to risk building a foundation without the help of the foundation-building pill.
Foundation building by monks has always been extremely dangerous. Without the assistance of Foundation Building Pills, one's life may be in danger if one is not careful.
A monk like him would risk building a foundation only when he is about sixty years old and out of desperation.
"Uncle Nineteen asked me to come here, do you have anything to arrange?" Zhang Zhixuan glanced at Zhang Mengling and asked.
"Recently, Lao Seven, Lao Eleven, Lao Thirteen, Lao Seventeen, and Lao Ninth have all returned to the mountain. The family still has some properties outside the mountain, which cannot be left unattended.
So I can only trouble my nephew to go down the mountain and hold it for a while." Zhang Mengling cupped his hands and said pleasantly.
"After we come down from the mountain, what will happen to my nephew's follow-up exercises?" Zhang Zhixuan then asked.
"The subsequent exercises you learned during the Qi training period of the Fierce Fire Yaojin Jue can be copied together, and five spells can be freely selected for you in the Sutra Pavilion for your subsequent practice."
In the entire Zhang family, apart from the patriarch, Zhang Mengling has the greatest say. According to family rules, Zhang Zhixuan still has two years to practice freely. According to his age, it is not time to go down the mountain yet.
So this time Zhang Zhixuan was summoned. Although Zhang Mengling had great power, he still behaved very kindly and offered relatively generous conditions.
According to the family's regulations, every time an underage monk breaks through a level of cultivation, the family scripture collection hall will provide a level of cultivation method, a spell.
If you are an adult, you need to contribute to the family, complete family tasks, and rely on family contributions to redeem them.
Zhang Zhixuan has already practiced Qi at the sixth level, and could have exchanged one level of Qigong and three spells at the Tibetan Scripture Hall.
This time, if you go down the mountain two years in advance, you can exchange for three more layers of exercises and two magic arts at once.
If these resources were exchanged for spiritual stones, for casual cultivators, they would be at least 300 low-grade spiritual stones.
This was Zhang Mengling's special care when he saw that Zhang Zhixuan's spiritual roots were good, his character was resolute, and he had a bright future.
If they were four-spirit-root or five-spirit-root monks whose foundation was almost impossible to build, Zhang Mengling wouldn't even look at them, let alone let them go down the mountain early.
After all, these pseudo-spiritual monks often haven't broken through the innate stage when they reach adulthood, and I'm afraid they haven't even learned the magic yet.
Even if he goes down the mountain, he can only guard the shops and manage the mortal towns, and it is unlikely to be of much help to his family.
They often enter the middle and late stages of qi training after they are sixty years old. At this time, they have lost both qi and blood, and their magic power is weak. Although they are more experienced, they can no longer compete with young and strong monks of the same level.
At this age, he can only go back to the mountains to educate his younger children.
If you are lucky enough to learn the art of cultivating immortals, you can make talismans, refine weapons, and refine elixirs on the mountain, and continue to contribute to your family.
Immortal cultivators need to breathe in spiritual energy every day, and except for spiritual mountains and spiritual lands, there is not much spiritual energy in the outside world that can support immortal cultivators for their cultivation.
Therefore, once cultivators go out, they must rely on spiritual objects containing spiritual energy to practice.
These spiritual objects are divided into spirit shells, spirit stones, spirit jade, spirit water, etc., and are divided into upper, middle and lower grades according to the amount of spiritual energy they contain.
Among them, one hundred low-grade spiritual stones are equal to one medium-grade spiritual stone, and one hundred medium-grade spiritual stones are equal to one high-grade spiritual stone.
A low-grade spiritual stone can be cultivated once every ten days, allowing a mid-stage Qi-training monk to practice at the foot of the mountain for a year.
If this year is exceeded and there are no other spiritual objects in the monk's hands, then the mana will not be replenished and the cultivation level will slowly decline until the spiritual energy is exhausted and he will eventually transform into an innate-stage monk.
"What does Uncle Nineteen want my nephew to do after he comes down from the mountain?" Zhang Zhixuan asked next.
"Your seventh uncle is ready to go back to the mountain. The thirty acres of spiritual fields near Lushan County at the foot of the mountain are no longer being taken care of. If you are willing, go and take care of the spiritual fields!
However, if you want to guard the spiritual field, you must learn the spells of insecticide and irrigation.
You have learned the Golden Needle Technique, which can not only be used to attack enemies, but also kill insects in the spiritual field.
If you choose to guard the spiritual field, you must choose a spell to gather spirits and transform into rain.
With the method of gathering spirits and turning them into rain, you can irrigate the spiritual fields, kill pests, and wait until the harvest season." Zhang Mengling smiled happily when he heard that Zhang Zhixuan was willing to go down the mountain.
