Four hundred and fortieth chapters continued family tree
After listening to Qingchan's words, Zhang Zhixuan was immediately speechless.
The ten foundation-building monks in the family have only average talents.
The main reason why they were able to successfully build the foundation was that they had the three ancestors of the Zhang family as their backers. Compared with the monks of the Qingxuan Sect who fought in the competition with thousands of troops and horses, the dozen or so monks in the family were more capable in terms of qualifications and perseverance.
All foundations are very average.
Although Zhang Sihong's cultivation level is the highest, his talent can only be considered mediocre. He does not show much talent or strategy, and is not as good as Liu Zixuan, who Zhang Zhixuan considers to be mediocre.
A mediocre person can maintain a family if he or she has a high level of cultivation, but it will be difficult for the next generation of monks from the Zhang family to break through to the realm of the Zifu.
If the three Zifus are gone, they won't be able to defend Black Mountain at all.
Fortunately, the three ancestors of the Zi Mansion are still relatively young, with more than 300 years of life left, and their paths are relatively smooth, so they have more time to wait for their successors to appear.
Zhang Zhixuan had just returned from Su Heng's funeral when Zhang Yuanzheng, Zhang Guangliang's uncle and nephew came to see him, and Zhang Zerui and Zhang Shengdai also came with them.
Zhang Shengdai is the descendant of the fourth brother Zhang Zhian. Zhang Zhian has raised horses for the family all his life. His descendants are ordinary mortals. The fourth brother has passed away for more than 40 years. When he was alive, Zhang Shengdai had not yet detected his spiritual roots. According to
Family rules cannot inherit the good deeds and legacy he left behind.
However, after all, Zhang Shengdai has a monk inheritance from his ancestors, which is much easier than starting a monk from scratch. Moreover, the time when his fourth brother Zhang Zhian passed away was very short of the time when he started practicing Taoism, so the elders in the family also took good care of him.
The most important factor was that he had a good chance among the next generation of family monks. He actually found a wild fourth-level elixir, and at the age of forty, he was able to redeem half of his good deeds for the Foundation Establishment Pill.
He is a three-lingen monk and has been cultivating to the ninth level of Qi training for four years. He heard that Zhang Guangliang came to Black Mountain to redeem the Foundation Establishment Pills. He was afraid that the family's stock of Foundation Establishment Pills would be exhausted, so he hurried to Black Mountain to compete for the Foundation Establishment Pills.
.
Because they happened to meet Zhang Zerui going to Montenegro, they were both practicing in Lingjing Mountain, and they were very familiar with each other, so he and Zhang Zerui teamed up, borrowed the poisonous dragon boat from Tiantai Peak, and almost came to Montenegro together with Zhang Yuanzheng's uncle and nephew.
Zhang Zhixuan recruited them into the cave together and said to Zhang Zerui straight to the point: "Zerui came here, but because there is something he doesn't understand about the technique?"
"Reporting to my ancestors, it's not because of this matter, but mainly because the family genealogy is no longer enough. Zhang Maolin's fourth son detected spiritual roots some time ago, but the genealogy is not enough, so I can only rush to Montenegro.
Find the ancestors to continue the family tree and continue the inheritance."
The Zhang family is ranked by Taichu Lemeng, Zhisi Tongyuan, Guangsheng Zemao. These twelve characters were set by Zhang Tairen, the founder of the mountain. Based on Zhang Tairen's age of practicing Taoism, the Zhang family has inherited it for 500 years. Even if he occupies Tiantai Peak's
Counting time, the Zhang family has gone through four hundred years.
In four hundred years, all twelve characters have been used up.
Zhang Zhixuan pondered for a moment, and without consulting Qingchan Hanyan and the other two, he directly said: "Since Patriarch Tairen has decided on the twelve generations of characters, I can't go beyond him and also decide on the twelve generations of characters."
, with Yuan Shao Xianlong, the industry will be prosperous and the family will be prosperous for thousands of years to continue the family tree."
Zhang Zerui said: "Ancestor, do you want to extend several generations at once? There are many monks in the family now, especially those with no hope of success. They will enter the mortal world to marry wives and take concubines on a large scale. I am afraid that the twelve generations can only be used.
Two hundred years."
Zhang Zhixuan said nonchalantly: "You can refill it after you use it up. This kind of thing is not a big deal." Then he turned around and asked: "You came to Black Mountain to redeem the Foundation Establishment Pill?"
Zhang Guangliang and Zhang Shengdai both replied at the same time: "Yes", "Yes"
"Are you ready for all your good deeds?"
Zhang Shengdai replied: "Ready."
Zhang Guangliang replied: "I still need to borrow it from my third uncle."
"In that case, Guangliang, your uncle and nephew will first go to Elder Guangyang and ask him to notarize the transfer of good deeds, and then come and redeem the Foundation Establishment Pill. As for Sheng Dai, bring up your identity token."
Zhang Shengdai respectfully handed his identity token to Zhang Zhixuan. Zhang Zhixuan picked it up and looked at it, and found that the number of good deeds on the token exceeded five thousand.
Zhang Zhixuan used magic power to wipe Zhang Shengdai's identity token, deducting five thousand good deeds, and then took out a foundation-building pill from the cave and gave it to Zhang Shengdai.
After receiving the Foundation Establishment Pill, Zhang Shengdai bowed respectfully, spent 60 good deeds to rent a nice cave, and prepared to retreat in Black Mountain to break through to the Foundation Establishment realm.
After everyone dispersed, Zhang Zhixuan said to Zhang Zerui thoughtfully: "Have many of the next generation of monks in the family reached the ninth level of Qi training?"
"The ancestors guessed well. In addition to Sheng Dai and Guang Liang, there are three other ninth-level qi-training monks before the age of sixty. The next generation of monks has a larger base. It is estimated that seven or eight people can practice to the Qi-level before the age of sixty.
At the ninth level of Qi. When they grow up, our rules for exchanging Foundation Establishment Pills must change. After all, although we have some chalcedony and golden zhi planted at home, it will take thousands of years to mature. Without stable golden zhi, we must
It cannot provide a steady stream of Foundation Building Pills."
Since becoming a monk in the Zifu, the time spent in contact with the lower-level monks in the family has gradually decreased. Especially after moving to Montenegro, I don't know the young monk Zhang Zhixuan in the family at all.
After listening to Zhang Zerui's words, Zhang Zhixuan nodded involuntarily and said: "Yes, some changes should be made. After Sheng Dai and Guang Liang exchanged the Foundation Establishment Pills, the rest of the Foundation Establishment Pills in the family treasury can only be purchased.
One pill. If the furnace cannot be opened for refining in a short period of time, the outstanding monks in the family will have no choice but to let them join the sect for development."
After sending Zhang Zerui away, Zhang Guangliang and Zhang Yuanzheng also completed the procedures for borrowing good deeds the next day, and successfully exchanged the Foundation Establishment Pill from Zhang Zhixuan. Like Zhang Shengdai, Zhang Guangliang also rented a cave in Black Mountain to break through to the Foundation Establishment realm.
.
Time flies so fast, half a year has passed in the blink of an eye.
The two people who broke through the foundation-building stage in seclusion soon had results. Although the younger Zhang Shengdai had a chance in his early years, he redeemed the foundation-building pill in his forties. Unfortunately, due to bad luck, he did not successfully break through the foundation-building stage and became
I became the second Dzogchen Qi practitioner in my family.
However, because he discovered a wild fourth-level elixir a few years ago and received three thousand family merits, Zhang Shengdai's family is very wealthy. The debt he owes in exchange for the Foundation Establishment Pill is only five thousand, and he is still relatively young.
, the debt owed should be repaid before the age of 100.
Zhang Shengdai's failure to build a foundation made Zhang Yuanzheng suddenly worried. Although the Zhang family has advanced more than ten foundation-building monks, they also have the experience of two failed foundation-buildings.
Once Zhang Yuanzheng fails to build the foundation, he may not be able to repay the family debt until his death, and will drag down his descendants, just like Zhang Siming at home.
Zhang Shengdai failed to build the foundation, and good news soon came from Zhang Guangliang.
Although Zhang Guangliang's foundation building was more difficult than Zhang Shengdai's, he passed the three levels and three difficulties without any danger, successfully broke through the bottleneck and advanced to the foundation building stage.
