After leaving Huanshui Sect, Zhang Zhixuan immediately returned to the underground cave of Lingjing Mountain. After seeing off Chen Yunfeng and the others, he returned to Black Mountain with Qing Chan. At this time, it was already the final moment for Sihong to open up Zi Mansion.
This time to open up Zi Mansion, Sihong used two auxiliary spiritual objects, which consumed resources worth no less than Zi Yang Nuan Jade.
However, because he is using five elements spiritual objects, once the breakthrough fails, he will need to cultivate for twenty or thirty years. According to Sihong's age, his vitality will be exhausted in another twenty or thirty years, and there will be no possibility of further progress.
In order to break through the bottleneck, Sihong borrowed 30,000 good deeds from his family. If he could not open up the Zi Mansion, the debt of these 30,000 good deeds would crush him.
In the next few decades, it would be impossible for his family to continue to provide him with resources. In order to repay the debt of 30,000 good deeds, he could only run around every day, completing family tasks and earning good deeds to repay the debt.
In fact, he only has one chance to break through. If he fails to succeed this time, he will only be able to stay in the foundation building realm for the rest of his life.
Sihong has been in retreat for almost three years. His accumulation is stronger than that of Zhang Zhixuan and the others. He is already 160 years old and has been practicing to the ninth level of the Purple Mansion for almost 50 years. In addition, he has mastered the Heavenly Eye Treasure Light Technique.
, nine of the seventeen acupoints in the upper Dantian have been opened. Compared with normal monks, the difficulty of opening the upper Dantian is only half that of a normal monk.
After three years of arduous retreat, Sihong finally lived up to expectations, opened the upper Dantian, and refined his spiritual consciousness into the Niwan Palace.
Seeing a whirlpool of spiritual energy with a radius of dozens of feet appearing in the cave where he was retreating, Zhang Zhixuan and Qing Chan looked at each other happily and said: "It seems that we are inseparable."
Black Mountain's spiritual energy is already good, and there is no need to refine spiritual stones to replenish it. Even if the spiritual energy vortex continuously extracts spiritual energy, it cannot drain Black Mountain's spiritual energy.
Sihong was in his forties and spent two decades building the foundation before finally breaking through to the Purple Mansion realm.
Sihong broke through to the Zi Mansion, and Zhang Zhixuan was greatly relieved. After supporting the family's younger generations for many years, he finally had a successor. After he stabilized his realm, Zhang Zhixuan also began to recall the Zhang family's foundation-building monks on a large scale and asked them to come to Black Mountain to participate in Sihong's mission.
Purple Mansion Celebration.
In the thirty years since Zhang Zhixuan and others left, the Zhang family has developed very rapidly. Not only did three people in the family build foundations, Huangyan Mountain, Spider Mountain and other spiritual veins were on the right track, bringing in a large amount of income every year. Black Mountain also
The heyday of Liang Patriarch's era has been restored, and the income of Fangshi has also increased a bit.
After waiting for almost a month, people like Si Jin and Tong Huai gathered in Heishan. Even Sidao, Lan Niang and his daughter who were in the sect also came to Heishan Cave Mansion.
Sidao is over one hundred and seventy years old. His vitality was severely damaged due to the mistaken intake of the elixir, and he only had about ten years left in his life.
However, he has a more open-minded personality. Although he has white hair and looks shaky, he is still energetic. At this family meeting, he happily took his daughter to the top of Black Mountain.
Counting the three clansmen who have just established the foundation, the Zhang family now has two Jindan and two Zifu. The monks in the foundation building period do not count Zhang Luoyun, the younger sect, and there are sixteen foundation builders. As for the monks in the Qi training period, there are even more
It is about ten times more than two hundred years ago.
Seeing a dozen people standing together in the cave mansion, Zhang Zhixuan felt a little relieved and said: "The first reason why we summoned everyone here today is because Sihong has opened the Zifu, and there is a successor in the family, and I want you to come back and help take care of him.
The Purple Mansion Celebration.
The second reason is that because the monster beast rebellion in the Southern Wilderness is approaching, the family is planning to temporarily shrink and transfer you back to Black Mountain to guard against the monster invasion.
The third is that Patriarch Jin wants our whole family to join the Qingxuan Sect, and we need to ask for your opinion.
According to the agreement I made with Patriarch Jin, if the monks in the family join the sect, they can exchange the family's good deeds for the sect's good deeds. The part you owe in exchange for the Foundation Establishment Pills will not have to be repaid from now on. The family's floating wealth will be except for the money in the Black Mountain treasury.
All the spiritual stones will be divided among you. The spiritual mountains and spiritual veins at home will all be exchanged for Qingxuan Sect’s good deeds at a discounted price. This part of the good deeds will be distributed to me and Qing Chan, which can be regarded as compensation for the resources we have invested in the family over the years.
I'm already a little tempted by this condition. If there are any clan members who are unwilling to join the Qingxuan Sect, we can set aside a few spiritual mountains from the spiritual veins controlled by the family to settle you."
Although Zhang Zhixuan is already married, he has no blood descendants, and his blood relationship with the monks in his family is relatively distant. None of these foundation-building monks is his third-generation blood relative.
Although the foundation-building monks in his family respect him very much, they are not too close to him.
Hearing what Zhang Zhixuan said, the dozen or so foundation-building monks in the family suddenly started talking in low voices. Sijin glanced at Tong Huai who had a heavy face behind him, and boldly said: "Uncle Fourteen, the family is booming now.
Why join Qingxuan Sect?"
In recent years, Sijin has held most of the power in the family. Except for discussing important matters with Sihong, he has almost acted arbitrarily on small matters.
The monks in the Qingxuan Sect's foundation-building period don't have as many offerings as the Zhang family, and their missions are also more dangerous.
Although joining the Qingxuan Sect does not require you to repay the outstanding merits, monks like Sijin, who have been building a foundation for many years, have already paid off the outstanding merits owed to the family. Moreover, the Zhang family is not lacking in martial arts books and practice, and they do not want to join the sect in their hearts.
"How has the family's income and expenditure been over the past few years?"
Hearing that Zhang Zhixuan was not very firm, Sijin perked up and said: "The output of spiritual veins in Lingjing Mountain, Tiantai Peak, Wanshe Cave, and Jiuhua Mountain has increased, and the income has increased by more than two thousand spiritual stones.
The annual income in Huangyan Mountain and Spider Mountain is over four thousand spiritual stones, and the income from Black Mountain has increased a bit.
In the past ten years, the family's income has reached 34,000 spiritual stones.
However, the family's population has expanded in recent years. The number of low-level monks has increased by more than 300, and the number of foundation-building monks has increased by three. The annual salary of these people has also increased by 3,000 spirit stones. The annual expenditure has reached 29,000 spirit stones. Every year
The balance is around five thousand spirit stones.
Currently, there are 180,000 spiritual stones stored in the Black Mountain treasury, enough for Uncle Fourteen to use."
Zhang Zhixuan turned around and said to Sihong, who had just opened the Zi Mansion: "What do you mean?"
Zhang Sihong also thought about this issue for a long time. When Zhang Zhixuan asked, he said decisively: "Uncle Fourteen and Aunt Fourteen have formed elixirs. According to the rules of Qingxuan Sect, they must receive five thousand good deeds every year, plus
I succeeded in opening the Zi Mansion, and my annual salary expenditure increased by 10,000 yuan. Based on my family's current income, I would be short of 5,000 spiritual stones every year.
As the population base increases, there will be a lot more new monks every year, and the pressure on income and expenditure is getting bigger and bigger. I don't think everyone can take what they need. It is better for monks who want to join Qingxuan Sect to let them go.
The fourteenth uncle and the fourteenth aunt might as well join the Qingxuan Sect and give up the Black Mountain spiritual veins to the sect. If Sijin and others are not willing to join, they can set aside spiritual veins such as Tiantai Peak and Jiuhua Mountain to practice. As for myself, I will also follow.
