"Except for being able to irrigate spiritual trees, the Soul-Gathering Rain Art has almost no offensive power.
If you learn the Soul Gathering and Rain Technique, during the entire Qi training period, you will have learned one less attack spell than ordinary monks, and you will have fewer choices during the battle."
Zhang Zhixuan thought for a while and asked: "Uncle Nineteen, besides guarding the spiritual field, are there any other tasks suitable for my nephew?"
Zhang Mengling waved his hand and said: "Although you are young and mature, and your cultivation is not bad, compared to the experienced casual cultivators at the foot of the mountain, dangerous tasks are not suitable for a promising cultivator like you.
Whether it's going into the mountains to hunt monsters or searching for elixirs, you won't be needed for the time being.
If you were asked to go to Fangshi to check out stores, you would be overqualified and overqualified.
Of course, you can also learn some alchemy and weapon refining skills from your uncle in Fangshi.
But you are still young now, so you should not focus on cultivating immortals and hundreds of arts. You should cultivate to the ninth level of Qi training as soon as possible, and then find ways to build the foundation, so that you can change the situation of your family as soon as possible.
You'd better not think too much and go down the mountain as soon as possible to guard the spiritual field!
The task of guarding the spiritual field is not only relatively leisurely, but also can be practiced with the help of the spiritual energy in the spiritual field.
Although it is not as good as in the mountains or as full of spiritual energy as in the shops in the city, it is more free throughout the year and has more time for practice.
You should also take a long-term view, and don't be competitive or fight with others after going down the mountain. Try to go to the market as little as possible, where dragons and snakes are mixed together, and sometimes it is not safe.
Although guarding the spiritual field may make you feel that you have learned one less spell, it will allow you to spend ten years safely."
The rules of the Zhang family not only consider fairness and justice, but also take into account the innate ability of the monks.
Tianlinggen monks don't need to go down the mountain to handle family tasks at all. They only need to focus on cultivation, which is the greatest help to the family.
Every time a monk with two spiritual roots completes a task, he will get the same amount of practice time.
A monk with three spiritual roots can get nine months of free cultivation time after coming down from the mountain for a year. A monk with four spiritual roots can only get half a year.
As for Wulinggen monks, they can only get three months of free time after one year after coming down from the mountain.
Judging from this rule, although the family's rules take care of the interests of the pseudo-spiritual monks to a certain extent, it is a pity that they are still exploiting their value in order to better support the cultivation of the true spiritual root monks.
It has been four hundred years since the Zhang family came to Lushan, but there has not been a single Tianlinggen monk in these four hundred years. Even the Erlinggen monks have been rare for decades.
Most of the monks are those with four spiritual roots or five spiritual roots. When they reach their seventh or eighth decade, they are still spinning around at the sixth or seventh level of Qi training.
Of course, there are also pseudo-spiritual monks who can build foundations and form elixirs.
For example, Zhang Tairen, the first ancestor of the Zhang family, was a monk with four spiritual roots, but he had an extraordinary opportunity. When he was young, he discovered the cave of a casual cultivator in the late stage of foundation building.
Relying on the resources in the cave, he reached the ninth level of Qi training at the age of forty.
Then he sold the fourth-level spiritual weapons of his senior monks and purchased two foundation-building pills from Qingxuan Mountain Market. With good luck, he quickly succeeded in establishing the foundation, and then created the Zhang family in Lushan.
After Zhang Tairen settled in Lushan, he began to take in many wives and concubines. In just a few hundred years, he gave birth to more than 30 children. Although only half of these children had spiritual roots, under Zhang Tairen's care, there were almost no children.
Damage, in just a few decades, the situation opened up near Lushan.
In particular, his eleventh son Zhang Chuyun has extraordinary qualifications. He is a rare Leilinggen monk and joined the Qingxuan Sect when he was young.
In just over a hundred years, he broke through the foundation building and Zifu levels and became a high-level boss in the Qingxuan Sect.
Under his care, the Zhang family became more and more powerful. Not only did they open up a second third-order spiritual vein, Jiuhua Mountain, but they also occupied more than half of the shops in Xihefang. Even the foundation-building monks trained four Five people.
At that time, the Zhang family could provide a foundation-building pill to their clan members every twenty years, and could provide a foundation-building pill to family monks with better spiritual roots to build their foundations.
Unfortunately, more than 150 years ago, Zhang Chuyun went out to fight, was injured, and died at the gate of Qingxuan Mountain.
Without Zhang Chuyun as a great supporter, the Zhang family also began to gradually decline.
Just over a hundred years later, the family's foundation-building monks slowly passed away, and the number of foundation-building pills available became less and less.
Until thirty years ago, when the clan leader Zhang Leqian was injured in a martial arts fight, his life was almost in danger.
Without the protection of the foundation-building monks, it would be impossible for the Zhang family to preserve the third-level spiritual veins of the mountain gate, and ultimately it would be impossible to guard the mountain gate.
I can only rely on some connections in the past to go to Qingxuan Mountain.
At that time, not only the mortal relatives at the foot of the mountain will be abandoned, but also several shops in Fang City will be taken away by the Xiuxian family in Taicheng County.
Although monks with better spiritual roots can become outer disciples of Qingxuan Mountain, the situation is probably a little better than that of casual cultivators. A lot of time will be consumed in sect tasks, and there will not be much free time at all.
Zhang Zhixuan copied the exercises for the subsequent Qi training period, and then chose five spells: Gathering Spirits and Transforming Rain, Ivy Wrapping, Object Control, Spiritual Eyes to See Qi, and Flame Shield, and went down to Lushan at noon that day. .
Although he has been in this world for more than ten years, Zhang Zhixuan has never traveled far.
His father is a monk and he has lived in the mountains since he was a child.
When my father went out, he was taken care of by his uncle in the mountains. After he was six years old, he awakened to Su Hui and began to practice freely.
Although he had been a man for two generations and had lived for more than forty years, he was still a little eager to try and left Lushan with excitement.
Hundreds of years ago, Lushan could only be regarded as a barren mountain. After four hundred years of hard work by generations of monks from the Zhang family, the Lushan Mountains have long been full of aura, reaching a height of ten feet, and giant trees of twenty feet can be seen everywhere.
After Zhang Zhixuan came down from the mountain, he ran south for more than three hundred miles and soon left Lushan.
He looked around and found an alluvial plain with a radius of more than 500 miles at the foot of the mountain. Beyond this plain, there was a vast sea with no human beings and no spiritual energy.
This sea is a remnant of ancient monks' fighting skills. It has already destroyed the spiritual veins of heaven and earth, and cannot breed any spiritual ideas at all.
There was once a golden elixir-level monk who wanted to cross the vast sea. He flew continuously in this sea for four and a half years before crossing the sea and entering the Dongli Sea where immortal cultivators gathered.
During the past four and a half years, this Golden elixir monk has been flying and traveling every day, with almost no free day.
Not only did he consume the elixir that replenished his mana, he also completely consumed all the spiritual stones and spiritual water on his body.
If you cannot replenish your spiritual energy and cannot find a way out, you will probably regress in your cultivation and completely perish on the endless sea of death.
It is so dangerous even for fifth-level Jindan monks to go to sea, let alone other low-level monks.
Therefore, in such a unique place, low-level monks are naturally very taboo and will not easily set foot there.
