Wu Xianlong came out of the Evil Ghost Cave and rushed directly to Tiantai Mountain with thirteen puppet beasts.
A period of time has passed since Zhang Zhixuan focused on Qingxuan Sect.
In this period of time, relying on the resources of Qingxuan Sect, the Zhang family has developed extremely rapidly.
Zhang Zhixuan and the other three have no shortage of good deeds, and they are quite generous people. They take good care of the younger monks in the family, and will always help them when they encounter those who lack good deeds in exchange for foundation-building pills.
In just a short period of time, nine members of the Zhang family have already established foundations in Qingxuan Sect. Even Zhang Luoyun from the Xiaozong side also jumped on the bandwagon and trained a foundation-building monk to support the sect.
Now within the Qingxuan Sect, the Zhang family already has two Zifus and twenty-two foundations, becoming the first family in the Yu Kingdom.
Although the development speed of the main family of Lushan County is slower, there are still eleven monks in the foundation building stage and more than two thousand monks in the Qi training stage.
As for the mortals of the Zhang family in Lushan County, the population now exceeds 1.6 million, four times more than the Liu family.
Compared with two hundred years ago, the Liu family has not developed much, and the family population has not increased much. In this world of cultivating immortals, only with enough monks to protect and develop can the population multiply and increase. Compared with two hundred years ago, the Liu family's buildings have not increased much.
Although the number of foundation monks has increased by one, there are already four foundation-building monks in Qingxuan Sect. Unfortunately, there are only two foundation-building monks left in the Taibai Mountain Spirit Vein.
Without enough monks to protect them, it is naturally impossible to go outside to open up wasteland, farm, and multiply the population.
On the contrary, the Wu family remained silent and its population increased to about one million.
Zhang Sijin and Wu Xianlong have known each other for many years and have dealt with each other several times before.
Wu Xianlong can also be regarded as her fellow villager, although this fellow villager lived and grew up in Qingxuanzong and did not have much affection for his hometown.
However, with Zhang Zhixuan's relationship, Wu Xianlong took more care of the monks of the Zhang family than his own family.
After not seeing each other for more than ten years, Zhang Sijin's face has begun to look older, and wrinkles have appeared on his forehead.
Sijin had taken beauty pills in her early years. She still looked like a beautiful middle-aged woman more than ten years ago, but she was already over 200 years old, and the traces of time could no longer be hidden.
"Uncle Fourteenth, do you have any other advice?"
Wu Xianlong said: "Master didn't say anything. He just asked me to take the identity token and hand these thirteen third-level puppets into your hands."
Sijin nodded and asked: "I heard that the Evil Ghost Cave cultivates fifth-level spiritual veins. Uncle Fourteen and the others invested a lot of spiritual stones. Do you have enough spiritual stones that the old man has cultivated now?"
"Master's foundation is probably almost exhausted. He exchanged 100,000 spirit stones from the sect's treasury a few years ago, and now he wants me to go back to Qingyang Mountain to speak to Senior Wei."
Sijin was very well-informed about the Qingxuan Sect. He shook his head and said, "I'm afraid you will return in vain. A few days ago, Senior Wei lost his temper and wanted to resign as the head of the General Affairs Hall. It is said that the sect's treasury has already
It's all empty, and even the few high-grade spiritual stones in the collection were exchanged by the elders. You'd better bring some spiritual stones from me, and don't delay Uncle Fourteen's cultivation."
After Zhang Zhixuan and a group of high-level monks joined the Qingxuan Sect, Tiantai Peak's expenses were reduced by more than half.
Although the family's income has decreased somewhat due to the loss of the benefits of Montenegro, the annual balance has increased significantly, and they can save about 6,000 spiritual stones a year.
Sijin originally planned to cultivate the fourth-level spiritual veins at Tiantai Peak, but when he heard that Zhang Zhixuan and his wife were short of money, he immediately took out the 100,000 spiritual stones, exchanged Zhang Zhixuan's identity token for good deeds, and handed it over to Wu Xianlong.
Wu Xianlong did not refuse and did not have time to return to his hometown in Yanlaifeng. He took the spirit stone and flew to Qingyang Mountain immediately to hand over the autographed letter written by Zhang Zhixuan to Patriarch Jin.
After receiving Zhang Zhixuan's letter, Patriarch Jin looked a little solemn and took the letter to go to Lu Hongniang's Cave in person.
After handing this letter to Lu Hongniang, Patriarch Jin said with a solemn face: "We have finally had a hundred years of peace, and now we are at a critical moment of life and death. Unfortunately, the time left for us is a little shorter, and the training and accumulation of key monks is still not enough.
.”
Lu Hongniang said a little irritably: "It's such a troubled time now. Once Xuan Suzong comes out in full force, Zhixuan and the others will not be able to resist it. The ability to maintain a balanced situation on the northern front depends entirely on Headmaster Liu, the Demon King."
Blocked at the door.
If we listen to Zhixuan's opinion, Qingyang Mountain must give up decisively. The two of us will go to Tianchan Cave, Zhongxuan, Huayang, Jiaohe, Shiya and other spiritual veins will all be let go, and the Zifu monks will be withdrawn and concentrated in Heishan. Hold on.
Tianchan Cave, Black Mountain, Lingjing Mountain, Evil Ghost Cave, and the Lingmai population in the west are ready to give up. Our losses will be too great with this decision."
Jin Laozu has a decisive character. After hearing Lu Hongniang's complaint, he immediately shook his head and said: "Since the decision was made more than two hundred years ago, we can't be on both ends now, making us no longer human beings inside and outside. Zhixuan's opinion is right
Yes, once a war breaks out, forces must be concentrated. Although Qingyang Mountain is our ancestral property, we must resolutely withdraw its defense at a critical moment.
However, we must be prepared with both hands, and try to acquire teleportation formations to connect the main spiritual veins.
Fighting on two fronts is very unfavorable, and Clan Master Liu also knows in her heart that she will always have a choice.
Besides, Liu Guyan in Tianchan Cave has reached the stage of conceiving a baby, so we should also protect her and do our part. If she hadn't single-handedly captured Tianchan Cave and forced the demon king back, the sect would have lost everything.
Shanmen, at the critical moment of collapse, how can it still be where it is today?"
After discussion, the two made some arrangements and went to Tianchan Cave to protect Liu Guyan.
Wu Xianlong took Zhang Zhixuan's identity token and directly found the master of the General Affairs Hall.
"Senior Wei, Master asked me to exchange my good deeds for one hundred thousand spiritual stones."
Upon hearing this, Wei Boxan suddenly became a little angry and said: "Now that a rat has escaped in the sect's treasury, where can I exchange the spiritual stones for you? If you can find them, all the spiritual stones inside will belong to you.
The eight golden elixir ancestors are so high above us that they don't even care about the difficulties of the people below us, and they don't even care what time they are now, they all come to reach out to me.
I, the master of the general affairs palace, really can’t do my job any longer, so I’m going to write to Patriarch Jin and Patriarch Zhang and ask them to choose another talented person!”
Wu Xianlong was dumbfounded when Wei Boxan complained. Among the monks of the Purple Mansion of Qingxuan Sect, Wei Boxan was the older one. He was about a hundred years older than Zhang Zhixuan.
This man had a two-hundred-year friendship with Zhang Zhixuan. He was seriously injured and cut off on the road in order to protect the hometown relatives of Zhang Zhixuan and Wu Siheng.
He has been the master of the General Affairs Hall for more than a hundred years, so he has sufficient qualifications and the confidence to complain.
Zhang Zhixuan drew a sum of spiritual stones from the sect's treasury three years ago, which basically drained most of the foundation of the General Affairs Hall. Some time ago, Lu Hongniang used the sect's good deeds to exchange the high-grade spiritual stones accumulated for decades.
After that, Patriarch Jin wanted to purchase the teleportation array and also asked the General Affairs Hall to pay for the spiritual stones.
These successive incidents have made Wei Boxan frown and he really can't go on.
The reason why the General Affairs Hall is so embarrassed is actually because the Qingxuan Sect's foundation cannot keep up with the sect's development speed.
Although they occupied the Hongshan Sect's territory and seized part of the demonic beast's spiritual veins from the Southern Wilderness, the Qingxuan Sect's accumulation was far from enough to support the eight golden elixirs.
If Zhang Zhixuan hadn't found a way of making money for the sect in Qinglihai, the General Affairs Hall would have been even more in dire straits.
