In the past few days since arriving in Montenegro, Zhang Zhixuan also inquired about some news.
Baibao Pavilion is a relatively large shop in Heishanfang City. The owner of the shop is Wang Songhe, a foundation-building monk. The elderly monk is Wang Songhe's third son, Wang Lianke, and the girl is Wang Kelian's youngest daughter, Wang Zixuan.
It is not an option to just sit back and take advantage of the situation. Baibao Pavilion is also a store with a good reputation. Zhang Zhixuan agreed to join Baibao Pavilion without much hesitation.
There are six floors in the Baibao Pavilion. The first floor is the hall for receiving guests. The second floor collects various spiritual herbs, elixirs, magic tools, talismans and other cultivation resources. The third floor is where magic pills are sold. The fourth floor sells magic tools and talismans.
The fifth floor is the bedroom where the monks live in the shop, and the sixth floor is used to receive the monks in the foundation building period and store the most precious treasures.
As for the places for refining weapons and elixirs, they are not too far from the shop.
At the foot of Black Mountain, there are more than a dozen fire eyes. Ancestor Liang used these fire eyes to build more than a dozen alchemy rooms and weapon refining rooms, which he rented out to monks in the city, earning him a lot of spiritual stones every year.
Because Baibao Pavilion refines a large number of elixirs and magic weapons, it rents three fire eyes all year round. One is used for refining weapons, and the second is used for refining spiritual elixirs.
There are only three alchemists in the Baibao Pavilion, including Zhang Zhixuan, and the leader is Wang Songhe's third son Wang Lianke.
Wang Lianke is a second-level high-level alchemist, and his level is probably not as good as that of Zhang Mengquan of the Zhang family. In fact, his alchemy talent is not very good. The reason why he can become a second-level high-level alchemist relies more on his accumulated experience over many years.
He is already eighty-eight years old. For a monk in the Qi training stage, he is already more than half of his age.
As a monk practices, his lifespan does not increase at all in the innate stage, but his bones become stronger.
But once you reach the Qi training stage and start refining spiritual energy to nourish your body, you will be able to avoid all diseases, strengthen your foundation and nourish your vitality, and your lifespan will be one year longer than that of ordinary people.
Some Qi-training monks who are good at maintaining their health will even live to be over 150 or 60 years old, and they are seen in the mortal world almost once every ten thousand years.
Once a Qi-training monk establishes a foundation, not only will his mana greatly increase, but his lifespan will also increase by two jiazi. A normal foundation-building monk's normal lifespan will exceed four jiazi and he can survive for 240 to 50 years.
about.
And if a Foundation-Building monk opens the Purple Mansion, his life span can be increased by three years and 180 years. The normal life span is more than 400 years.
The golden elixir formed by the Zifu monks can also increase the life span by five years and three hundred years. The lifespan of the golden elixir monks often has some methods to maintain and extend their life. As long as they are not seriously injured and their vitality is depleted, the lifespan often exceeds 800 years.
Year.
Golden elixir monks refine the Nascent Soul, and their bodies are nourished by the Nascent Soul spiritual energy. Even if it lasts thousands of years, it will be difficult for them to decay. For them, the most important thing is to survive three heavenly tribulations. As long as they survive one heavenly tribulation, their
Life span can be increased by five hundred years.
After passing through three tribulations and reaching the late stage of Nascent Soul, if the monks can successfully refine the soul, they can refine some immortal spirit energy, create a temporary paradise in the mortal world, and live in peace for thousands of years.
After completely refining the spirit of the immortal spirit, the Yuanshen monk will be inspired by the upper world, leave this world, and ascend into the upper world.
If an outstanding monk can ascend to the upper world, it will usually take about three thousand years, which happens to be when the life of the Yuan Shen monk is approaching.
Although Wang Lianke's father was a foundation-building monk, he was not taken seriously by his father in his early years because of his poor spiritual roots. He did not have many resources for cultivating immortals, and his life was very tight, which was only better than ordinary casual cultivators.
But he was lucky. Although he experienced some twists and turns when he was young, he was able to live safely into his old age.
And his eldest brother, who had better spiritual roots, had no trace of his body as early as thirty years ago and disappeared into the desolate and dangerous mountains of the Southern Wilderness.
By now, Wang Lianke has become a good second-level alchemist due to his rich experience, and has become his father's most important right-hand man.
Even the big industry of Baibao Pavilion is under his complete control.
Of these three fire eyes, one is completely used for refining weapons, the other is used by Wang Lianke, and the remaining one is jointly used by Zhang Zhixuan and other two alchemists.
The conditions in the alchemy room are good, and the alchemy furnace inside is better than the one in Zhang Zhixuan's hands. It is a second-level high-grade alchemy furnace, and it also has earth fire for easy use.
Zhang Zhixuan has refined hundreds of elixirs, but this is the first time he has used earth fire to refine elixirs.
The magma drawn from the underground fire is not only higher in temperature, but also more stable, and its effect is far superior to the burning flame of Xuanyang wood.
After Zhang Zhixuan failed several times, he mastered some tips of earth fire elixir refining and began to refine elixirs for Baibao Pavilion.
With the addition of Zhang Zhixuan, another alchemist Guo Zifeng also felt a lot more relaxed. The two of them only needed one hour a day to complete the task of Baibao Pavilion, and the rest was free time.
The days passed by, Zhang Zhixuan was either refining elixirs or practicing cultivation, and spent most of the year peacefully.
In the past six months, Qingchan's cultivation has advanced to another level, and he has entered the late stage of Qi training.
Moreover, Qingchan has practiced the art of storing energy. If the monks in the foundation-building period had not carefully checked, it would be difficult to find any abnormalities in her cultivation. She is just fifteen this year, her body has grown up, and she looks a bit older. The age of monks has always been mysterious.
, it doesn’t look as eye-catching as before.
Even so, she spent most of her time as a monk in the cave, either taking care of the spiritual field in the cave or learning to make talismans.
When a monk practices cultivation, in addition to the core disciples of a large sect, he must also learn a variety of immortal cultivation skills to earn spiritual stones to support himself and exchange for various immortal cultivation resources.
After years of detailed observation, Zhang Zhixuan has determined that Qingchan's body contains water spiritual roots. With this kind of spiritual roots, he is not suitable for dealing with spiritual fire every day. Therefore, the sought-after professions of alchemist and weapon refiner are doomed.
No connection with Qingchan.
In the end, Qingchan chose to make talismans. First of all, compared to refining alchemy and refining weapons, the talisman maker's initial investment was smaller, and the two of them could easily bear the burden.
Secondly, Qing Chan learns spells quickly. Generally, monks who practice spells quickly will have an easier time becoming a Talisman Maker than others.
In recent months, Zhang Zhixuan spent thirty spiritual stones to buy a second-level mid-grade talisman pen for Qingchan.
Every ten days, three spiritual stones were spent on consumables such as talisman pens and cinnabar. After several months of practice and dozens of spiritual stones, Qingchan finally made his first spiritual talisman.
This is a first-grade, top-grade tranquilizing talisman.
First-level talismans do not contain much mana at all, and they cannot be exchanged for spiritual stones. Although talismans of this level are relatively rare in the mortal world, they are of little use to immortal cultivators.
However, this is also a good start. With this good start, as long as Qingchan continues to invest, he will one day make higher-grade talismans until the day of harvest.
During this period of time, Zhang Zhixuan only passively received surrounding information and did not take the initiative to inquire about the Wu brothers.
However, after more than half a year, Zhang Zhixuan also made some casual cultivator friends, and became a little better informed. As long as there was any disturbing news in the market, he could quickly find out.
