Zhang Zerui is a third-level high-level alchemist. Backed by the Zhang family of Tiantai Peak, he almost monopolizes the supply of spiritual elixirs in the three counties of Lushan, Taicheng, and Heishan. He can earn a generous sum of spiritual stones every year by relying on his alchemy skills.
Coupled with subsidies from the family's good deeds, it took more than thirty years to pay off the foreign debt.
Now he was penniless, but still somewhat ambitious. He began to borrow spiritual stones from the family monks again, hoping to buy auxiliary spiritual objects to break through the Zi Mansion again.
Unfortunately, he is already very old. Once his breakthrough fails, he will not have a few years left to recover from his injuries, and may not be able to pay off his debts.
Therefore, the foundation-building monks at home did not dare to lend him too many spiritual stones. They could only lend him a small amount of 300 or 500 out of kindness, and a high-level monk would be required to provide the bulk of the gap.
Zhang Zerui's relationship with Sihong and Lan Niang was only average. The two Zifus were quite generous, and each of them lent him three thousand spirit stones.
It's a pity that he didn't accumulate it himself. Even if he exchanged it for the cheapest Fire Spirit Jade, he was still short of about 20,000 spirit stones.
In desperation, Zhang Zerui could only ask for Zhang Zhixuan's name, hoping to fill the gap from Zhang Zhixuan.
Of the more than twenty juniors in the Foundation Establishment stage in the family, there are only five or six who have some relationship with the three Jindan ancestors. Most of the juniors have never interacted with Zhang Zhixuan and the three of them and are not familiar with them at all.
Twenty thousand spiritual stones are not easy for the Zifu monks to come up with, but for Zhang Zhixuan who has already controlled Qingxuan Sect, it is just a drop in the bucket and not too difficult.
Even if the investment in Zhang Zerui fails, it will not be a big deal for Zhang Zhixuan. Zhang Zerui can be regarded as a junior he is familiar with, and he has some respect in front of the ancestor of Jindan. As soon as he opened his mouth, Zhang Zhixuan happily borrowed him.
Twenty thousand spiritual stones were given to him and he was asked to go to the Song Dynasty to buy spiritual objects.
In this battle against the Southern Wilderness, Qingxuanzong harvested a large amount of monster materials.
The Zongmen General Affairs Hall used this batch of monster materials to refine a large number of elixirs, magic weapons, talismans, and formations.
In order to alleviate the shortage of spiritual stones in the sect's general affairs hall, Qingxuan Sect relaxed the restrictions on its vassal families and sold various third-level spiritual objects in unlimited quantities.
Even the Foundation Building Pills, excluding the more than 40 pills given as rewards, there are still 20 pills for sale to vassal families.
Of the twenty foundation-building pills, the Zhang family bought six, almost draining the family treasury.
Relying on this method, the Zongmen General Affairs Hall recovered more than 500,000 spirit stones from hundreds of large and small families.
Finally, I have working capital, so I won't be stretched too thin.
In this battle, sixty-three fourth-level demonic beasts and four fifth-level demonic beasts were captured. In addition to demonic pills, the total market value of these high-level materials exceeds 1.5 million spiritual stones.
Qingchan used his good deeds to exchange some materials and made many high-level talismans.
Her talisman-making skills have returned to the sixth-level low-grade, and even though she used materials from early-level fifth-level monsters, she successfully made the fifth-level mid-level spiritual talisman.
The Jindan monks of the sect were very fond of this batch of talismans. Even Patriarch Jin used his good deeds to redeem two of them, preparing to keep them as a trump card to defeat his opponents by surprise.
Fifth-level talismans are extremely rare on the market. Even in the Great Zhou Dynasty, you could only buy some in large fairy city markets.
Most of the Jindan cultivators in the Southern Wilderness Sect do not have fifth-level talismans in their hands.
Back then, Yang Wangyuan went bankrupt and bought four fifth-level spiritual talismans from Qi State as his trump card, but it took a lot of effort.
Nowadays, Qing Chan, a powerful talisman maker, has refined thirteen fifth-level talismans for Qingxuan Sect in one go.
Several golden elixir monks in the sect each acquired one or two, which greatly enhanced their adaptability.
In terms of the reserve of spiritual talismans, it is almost equal to that of the monks from the famous sects, and has a hint of the magnanimity of the Southern Wilderness Sect.
The fourth-level demon elixir can only be stored for more than ten years. In order to make the best use of it, Zhang Zhixuan could only refine the foundation-building elixir as soon as possible.
The Foundation Establishment Pill can store up to one armor, which can preserve the effort for several decades.
Unfortunately, even if all the auxiliary elixirs from Qingxuan and Huanshui sects were collected, they could only piece together twenty-three furnaces.
Compared with the fourth-level demon pills in Qingxuanzong's hands, this quantity is far from enough.
In desperation, Zhang Zhixuan, Qing Chan, Chen Yunfeng, and Gu Xuanzhou had no choice but to go to Da Zhou again.
This matter is of great importance, forty furnaces of auxiliary elixirs are worth about one million spirit stones.
Such a huge amount of resources would make even Nascent Soul stage monks jealous.
So when preparing to leave, Zhang Zhixuan could only choose a master to hold the battle.
Zhang Zhixuan was very satisfied with the last transaction with Shenmu Zong. This time, Zhang Zhixuan was still willing to take care of Shenmu Zong, his old customer.
Zhang Zhixuan and the four of them carried a large number of storage bags and packed some high-level monster materials, ready to barter. After all, the big business of millions of spirit stones, Qingxuan Sect, Huanshui, even if they try their best to raise it, the treasury
I can't even get a million spiritual stones.
The four of them arrived at the Shenmu Grand Canyon on a familiar road. Compared to more than ten years ago, the Shenmu Canyon remained unchanged. There were cliffs everywhere, and clouds were emitting from outside the canyon, and strict formations were arranged.
Even if Zhang Zhixuan and the four of them join forces, there is no way to sneak inside without alerting the Shenmu Sect monks.
The last time they came to Shengyuan City for trade, Zhang Zhixuan and Qing Chan both applied for entry orders.
Chen Yunfeng and Gu Xuanzhou are both old elixir collectors who have been in the Great Zhou Dynasty for many years. They have collected dozens of various entry orders. There is no need to waste time in processing, and they can directly hand over the four entry orders.
To Shenmu Zong Zifu who is guarding the city gate.
The identities of the four Zhang Zhixuan have been recorded in Shengyuan City. At first glance, they are accomplished golden elixir masters.
Seeing the arrival of four golden elixirs at once, the Purple Mansion of Shengyuan City immediately sent the news to the City Lord's Mansion.
Duan Jingtian, the city lord of Shengyuan City, did not dare to neglect and hurried to the city gate to greet him.
Seeing Zhang Zhixuan and the other four, Duan Jingtian quietly released his spiritual consciousness and his face suddenly turned pale, with a flash of surprise in his eyes. Among the four people present, except for Zhang Zhixuan, the other three's spiritual consciousness was stronger than Duan Jingtian's, and their cultivation
Of course Duan Jingtian couldn't see clearly.
Duan Jingtian's cultivation level has reached the eighth level of Jindan, ranking third among the sixteen Jindan monks of Shenmu Sect.
Even with his pride, when he saw the four Zhang Zhixuan coming together, he felt a little secretly beating in his heart.
Duan Jingtian suppressed his distracting thoughts and welcomed the four Zhang Zhixuan into the city lord's palace very kindly.
"In the lower section of Jingtian, a Jiazi has recently become the city lord of Shengyuan City. Several fellow Taoists have come together. Is it possible that there is some big business to discuss?"
Duan Jingtian was able to cultivate the golden elixir, and his vision and knowledge were very good. Even if Zhang Zhixuan and the other four did not reveal anything, he could guess the four people's intentions quite accurately.
"Fellow Daoist Duan's guess is good. This time there is indeed something to trouble the fellow Taoists of Shenmu Sect." Seeing that Duan Jingtian got straight to the point, Zhang Zhixuan did not show any politeness. He took out a list and handed it to Duan Jingtian, and then said: "The number of transactions this time
No, we hope to barter and exchange high-level monster materials for the elixir of your Shenmu Sect. I wonder if Fellow Daoist Duan is willing to accept it?"
