In recent years, as the number of monks in the family has continued to increase, several third-order spiritual veins deep in the Ten Thousand Snake Cave have also been developed. The number of third-order spiritual veins controlled by the Zhang family has reached seven, and there are also many second-order spiritual veins.
The number of people in the family has increased dramatically, and some problems have arisen in terms of family style management.
Especially some low-level monks are greedy and arrogant, and among these people, the monks stationed in Fangshi are the most serious.
Zhang Zhixuan couldn't stand this kind of trend.
He decided to have a serious talk with Zhang Sijin to straighten out the family tradition.
Let these domineering bumpkins in the family suffer a little, and let those who come after us wake up.
With this idea in mind, Zhang Zhixuan and Qing Chan flew directly back to their ancestral home, Tiantai Peak.
Currently, Tiantai Peak is guarded by three foundation-building monks. Together with Zhang Zerui from Lingjing Mountain, the Zhang family has the deepest control in this area.
There are more than 400,000 mortals in this area, and it looks like there is a trace of Danxia County in the Song Dynasty.
There are monks from the Zhang family stationed in every mortal village. From time to time, Zhang Zhixuan can see the tamed cloud-walking beasts transported by his family to transport goods. It seems to be relatively prosperous.
After more than two hundred years of development, the family has domesticated more than a hundred cloud-walking beasts. After the improvement of fire dragon colts and flying beasts, the level of cloud-walking beasts has been upgraded to the second-level high-grade, and its speed is generally faster than that of monks in the Qi training period.
With more than a hundred cloud-walking beasts communicating in series, communication between towns has become very frequent. Business communication has made the mortals in Lushan and Lingjing counties richer.
At the foot of Tiantai Peak, the Zhang family planted a large number of xuanyang trees.
Fire eyes were opened at home, and Xuanyang wood is no longer needed for alchemy and weapon refining. A considerable part of this low-level material is used in the mortal world, improving the quality of life of mortals.
The family even specially refined a large and sturdy magic weapon carriage for transportation, and the leader of the caravan who escorted the goods would also send monks to serve.
Because there are monks stationed there for a long time, once a nearby beast evolves into a monster, it can be dealt with in time without losing too many people.
As life becomes more prosperous, the population will reproduce faster.
In recent decades, the Zhang family has been developing faster and faster, and the number of mortals can roughly double in forty years.
At the same time, the Zhang family also has enough spiritual stones to train monks, expand their territory, and protect mortals.
Yu State is located in a remote area. If you want to fill up Lushan County, you will need at least tens of millions of people.
Even if everything goes well, it will probably take three hundred years to develop this place to the level near Huoshan City.
Zhang Zhixuan and Qing Chan climbed Tiantai Peak unhurriedly. Of the three foundation-building monks in the family, only Si Jin was familiar with them.
Seeing that the two ancestors were back, Sijin quickly came with two young foundation-building monks to pay their respects.
Seeing Zhang Zhixuan looking at the two people behind him with a gentle expression, Sijin immediately introduced him: "Uncle Fourteen, the one on my left is named Zhang Yuancheng, and this should be the first time he meets you. The one behind him is named Zhang Shaogong, and he is Tong
They are blood relatives from the same line in the city, but the blood relationship has already passed through three generations, so the family tree can only be arranged according to age."
Tongcheng did not get married after joining the Qingxuan Sect, so naturally there would be no direct descendants.
However, several of Tongcheng's brothers were ordinary mortals. Zhang Shaogong's father and ancestors were all mortals. Like Tongcheng, he was a descendant of the fourth uncle's lineage.
"It turns out that I am a descendant of my fourth uncle. My fourth uncle had the deepest relationship with me back then. If you have any questions about your cultivation, you can write to me at any time."
Meeting this legendary ancestor of their family, the two new Foundation Establishment monks were a little cautious.
After all, I haven't met Zhang Zhixuan a few times and I don't understand Zhang Zhixuan's character and temper at all. Naturally, it is impossible to get close to him as soon as they meet.
This is different from Sidao, Sihong, and Sijin. These people grew up in Lingjing Mountain when they were young. Zhang Zhixuan often preached to them. They had been in contact with each other since they were young, and they had some real feelings for each other.
"Today I went to Xihefang and finally saw the faces of the younger generation in our family. They are so greedy, domineering and domineering.
You are all experienced and accomplished people, so you should be particularly concerned about this kind of atmosphere.
You must know that there are some seniors in the world of immortality who like to wander around, especially our Qingyunzi from Nanya Prefecture, whose whereabouts are even more elusive.
Once this old man comes to our Taicheng County and encounters our Zhang family monks killing people and grabbing treasures, I'm afraid everyone will be implicated.
My father died outside because of killing people and seizing treasures. I also hope that you can be at ease.
Treat this kind of thing as a big deal and sort out the clan rules and traditions at home.
The monks in the family's foundation-building period must often make secret visits to shops in the city, strictly enforce family rules, and deal with some bad apples.
Our family cannot avenge anyone who dies outside because of killing people and seizing treasures. If we find a black sheep, we must deal with it resolutely and never protect anyone's shortcomings.
These rules should be written into regulations and engraved in the counties, villages and towns controlled by the family, and even the shops in the city.
Although I can protect my family for a few years, if my family wants to prosper in the long run, it still depends on good family tradition.
Sijin, your housekeeper, although the family has developed rapidly over the past few years, the management of the family tradition and clan rules has been relatively loose, so you need to be careful in the future."
Sijin is already over 190 years old, and has no hope of reaching the Purple Mansion realm in this life.
However, she is good at maintaining her health and has not suffered any serious physical injuries.
Although she has not taken the Beauty Pill, she looks like a woman in her forties or fifties, and she is estimated to be able to last for forty years.
She has had all the power in the family these years, and the young monks in the family who are in the foundation building period also respect her very much. Now that she was scolded by Zhang Zhixuan, she suddenly blushed.
What Zhang Zhixuan said made Sijin and the three of them look at each other. Sijin secretly thought: "These brats have caused me to be punished, so they should go to Huangyan Mountain to mine. In recent years, thanks to Uncle Fourteen, the monks in my family have always been domineering.
It seems that some bad words have reached the ears of the Fourteenth Uncle. Otherwise, the old man was so busy that he actually conducted an incognito private interview in Xihefang. It seems that he really needs to be rectified. The Fourteenth Uncle's temper is not very good.
Once he offends his old man, he might kill someone."
Zhang Zhixuan stayed at Tiantai Peak for a few days and saw that Sijin had made great efforts to rectify the family tradition, especially the monks stationed in Xihefang. Almost all of them were sent to Huangyan Mountain to mine.
The monks who were able to stay and garrison in Fangshi were all considered well-connected at home, but this small background was of no use to Sijin when he annoyed Sijin.
Zhang Zhixuan was quite satisfied with Sijin's rectification, and soon he returned to the underground cave of Lingjing Mountain and began to practice in seclusion.
His cultivation reached the peak of the third level of the Golden Core five years ago. Since he started practicing Taoism, this time has been the longest period for him to be stuck. He has stayed at the third level of the Golden Core for eighteen years, and is only short of
One point can break through the bottleneck.
Zhang Zhixuan's face turned purple, and his body emitted streaks of golden light, which complemented the innate purple energy in his upper Dantian.
As his deduction skills gradually deepened, Zhang Zhixuan finally found his own path and gained a deeper understanding of the avenue.
Seals were formed in his hands, and the spiritual light on his body continued to blend, gradually integrating the power of pure Yang with the innate purple energy, and the mana in his body began to boil.
Zhang Zhixuan's chest was rising and falling, and his magic power was like a huge surging wave, constantly hitting the bottleneck.
The bottleneck of advancing from the early stage of Jindan to the middle stage of Jindan is relatively strong. Zhang Zhixuan does not have the memory of his previous life to help him, but his will is still very firm. In just one year of seclusion, he successfully broke through the realm and cultivated to the fourth level of Jindan.
Lu Hongniang, who got the pill two years earlier than him.
Among the eight golden elixir monks of Qingxuan Sect, in terms of cultivation, Zhang Zhixuan is already sitting around looking at three. Hu Peiyu, who formed elixirs forty or fifty years earlier than him, has only the third level of golden elixir. In terms of martial arts and magical powers, Zhang Zhixuan has far surpassed him.
Lu Hongniang, even if he meets Ancestor Jin who is in the late stage of Jindan, he is still 60 to 70% sure of winning.
