After completing the transaction, Master Wuyun took out a token that was neither gold nor wood, handed it to Zhang Zhixuan and said: "This Danyang Token was originally a Taoist friend's possession. It has been stored in the Danyang Tower of Yuzhang City for these years. Since
The two parties have settled their differences and the token has been returned to its original owner."
Zhang Zhixuan knew in his heart that if he took the Danyang Order, he would definitely be monitored by the monks of the Danyang Sect. They were all monks of the Golden Dan Stage, and the Danyang Sect would definitely not trust them wandering around in the Song Dynasty. He was quite open-minded about this and took it happily.
The Danyang order was issued.
This token, after more than a hundred years of going around and around, fell into the hands of Zhang Zhixuan again.
After bidding farewell to Master Wuyun, Zhang Zhixuan and Qing Chan wandered around the six major markets of the Song Dynasty. Although there were monks in the Nascent Soul stage in the Song Dynasty, few golden elixir stage spiritual objects were sold in the markets.
There are only three fifth-level spiritual objects in the six Dafang cities combined.
One fifth-level magic weapon and two fifth-level spiritual talismans.
Zhang Zhixuan and others are not short of magic weapons. Qing Chan himself can draw high-level spiritual talismans. They searched all over the Song Dynasty but did not encounter any interesting spiritual objects.
When you have reached the level of elixir formation, if you want to look for opportunities outside, there are only a few options such as Qi State and Zhou Dynasty. Monks in the golden elixir stage of Song State also often have to travel around.
The two of them returned to Yu Kingdom in disappointment. They first went to Qingyang Mountain to hand over the exchanged spiritual objects to the sect's treasury, and then refined a furnace of Qingyu Pill and gave it to Liang Yuxian.
The last time she broke through the realm, Liang Yuxian had already exhausted all her family resources. This time, it was her disciple Zhang Yunlan who helped redeem the jade fruit.
After finishing these chores, the two of them notified Patriarch Jin, then left Qingyang Mountain and flew towards Lingjing Mountain.
The two of them had just passed through the sky above Xihefang when Zhang Zhixuan suddenly felt something in his heart. He took Qingchan's hand and said, "Let's go down and take a look. We haven't set foot on Xihefang for at least 150 years. When we were low in cultivation,
, in Xihefang, I saw the cruelty of the world of immortality for the first time.
Do you still remember Uncle Jiu who came to Lingjing Mountain when he was a child? He disappeared outside Xihefang. The fifth brother Zhang Zhicheng died in my arms, and the second brother Zhang Zhiwen died in front of me. Until now, that battle
I still remember the details clearly."
"When I was young, only ** years old, I had only a very small impression of Uncle Jiu. I didn't remember clearly what he looked like. But I remember the scar on your chest very clearly, because
I cried for a long time about this scar." Qing Chan touched a scar on Zhang Zhixuan's chest and said with some emotion.
The two of them used the escape light technique to hide their cultivation, and quietly entered Xihefang.
After the Hu family withdrew from Taicheng County, the Zhang family took back the original four stores. After Zhang Zhixuan and his three opened Zifu, the Wu family returned eight more stores to the Zhang family.
Of the forty-eight shops in Xihefang, the Wu family controls 24 and the Zhang family controls 16. The two of them monopolize the majority of the profits. The Liu family and the Su family only retain one shipping channel.
There were five major families in Taicheng County at that time. Two hundred years later, only three families, Zhang, Wu and Liu, have been passed down to the present.
Nowadays, the Liu family is also somewhat unable to succeed. There are only two foundation-building monks in the Taicheng County family. On the contrary, within the sect, there are already five foundation-building monks in the Liu family. It seems that the focus has shifted to the inside of the sect.
Some time ago, Qing Xuanzong re-divided the counties. The Zhang and Wu families in Taicheng County were separated. The Wu family inherited the hereditary position of the governor of Taicheng County, and the Zhang family's territory was divided and the hereditary governor of Lushan County was established.
The Liu family in Taibai Mountain and the Su family in Jiufeng Mountain were assigned to Taicheng County, and the Hou family in Liucheng was assigned to Lushan County.
The Su family and the Hou family are both immigrants from Taicheng County.
The Su family was founded by Su Heng. Su Heng trained two foundation-building monks, who each occupied two third-level spiritual veins and established the Su family's headquarter.
The Hou family was born in the Li State clan. They lost their family territory due to the invasion of monsters, so they moved to the territory of the Yu State. They made contributions in the war against the Hongshan Sect, and were granted a third-level spiritual vein by the sect, and they have established themselves in Liucheng ever since.
The original Ma family and Zhu family have lost their pillars in the foundation building period and have been reduced to a small family in the Qi training period.
Most of the ordinary members of the family migrated to Lushan County and Taicheng County, and integrated into the Zhang family, Wu family and other large families.
The monks with good spiritual roots migrated to the foot of Qingyang Mountain and became low-level monks of Qingxuan Sect.
If a failed family like this wants to turn around, it will take a long time, at least three generations.
Xihefang is closer to Wujia Yanlai Peak and is also assigned to Taicheng County.
Zhang Sijin has reached an agreement with Wu Rongyuan that they are not planning to establish a new market in Lushan County. The two companies will continue to jointly operate Xihefang.
Although the Zhang family has had some ups and downs in the past few hundred years, the cooperation with the Wu family has been pretty good.
The successive heads of the Wu family, including Wu Xiangjie, Wu Xiangwen, Wu Xianghuai, and Wu Rongyuan, although their personalities were different, were all very shrewd and clear-minded.
Wu Xiangheng, who spoke out loudly at Zhang Zhixuan's foundation banquet, also passed away seven or eight years ago. He was never able to control the power of the family head and spent his whole life as a thug for the Wu family.
As their cultivation level gradually improved, Zhang Zhixuan and his wife rarely had contact with the low-level monks of the family, and even some of the juniors who had just established the foundation were not very familiar with them.
They couldn't even name the monks from the Zhang family in Xihefang.
The plaque on Baicaoxuan has still not been changed, but the goods inside have increased by about seven or eight times.
Not only were there Jinya Dan and Youhuan Dan, the main elixirs of the Zhang family, Zhang Zhixuan even saw two bottles of third-level elixirs for sale.
The Zhang family now has two third-level alchemists, one third-level weapon refiner, and even a third-level formation mage.
Even if the three Jindan ancestors don't interfere, as long as the environment of Qingxuan Sect is stable, the family can continue to develop.
The foundation of the Zhang family has far surpassed that of the Liu family. The family's annual income has reached 16,000 spiritual stones. Without Zhang Zhixuan, the three major households receiving annual salaries, although the income from Heishan has been lost, the family's annual balance is around 4,000 spiritual stones.
.
It takes two and a half years to collect 10,000 spirit stones, which can be exchanged for a foundation-building pill. Even if the supply of foundation-building pills is far from enough, the family can still train some foundation-building monks to seize the spiritual veins controlled by the family.
The two strolled to Xianke Building. Xianke Building is the first inn in Xihefang. The interior decoration was planned by Zhang Zhixuan himself. Unfortunately, after almost two hundred years, the wall paintings have become somewhat yellowed, which makes Zhang Zhixuan feel strange.
The feeling of being human.
After just a casual glance, the two of them discovered that the monks from the Zhang and Wu families were a bit domineering, especially towards the casual cultivators they didn't know, and they had a strong sense of superiority.
Even Zhang Zhixuan and Qing Chan were a little angry at these juniors. If he didn't want to ruin the atmosphere, Zhang Zhixuan would have been prepared to give them a little pain.
Even if they are not punished this time, Zhang Zhixuan is still planning to go back and tell Sijin, asking Sijin to find some punishment for them, who made them offend the petty old ancestor Zhang.
After walking around Xihefang, Zhang Zhixuan could no longer find the same feeling as before. Most of the old friends he met in Xihefang had turned into bones.
"When I revisit my old place, I always feel emotional. Qingchan, do you think I am getting old?"
After coming out of Xihefang, Zhang Zhixuan looked at the darkening sky and suddenly said.
"You are just fighting against loneliness. As your cultivation level increases, your magic power becomes stronger. Our biggest enemies are time and loneliness. This emotion will always be with us in the future. As time goes by, we will also get used to loneliness."
