One hundred and eighty-fourth chapter Jindan six layers
After Sijin was buried, Zhang Zhixuan paid homage to the elders in his family and burned some paper money for them to express his grief.
Although he knew in his heart that the ghosts of these elders were either reincarnated or scattered. The so-called burning paper money was meaningless after all. It was just a way for people in the upper world to miss their relatives in the underworld and express their grief.
The matter of reincarnation is so mysterious that even the Yuanshen stage monks cannot explain it clearly.
In ancient times, there was a great monk of Yuanshen from Nanya Prefecture who rushed into the Netherworld, hoping to retrieve the Taoist couple's soul so that she could survive the catastrophe.
It is a pity that even the Yuanshen monks who are about to ascend are still missing in the depths of the netherworld.
Perhaps only by becoming an immortal can one understand the secret of reincarnation and bring back the dead.
With a trace of sadness, Zhang Zhixuan returned to Qingxuan Sect.
After returning to the cave, he immediately prepared to retreat and break through the bottleneck.
As Sijin's generation grows older, Tiantai Peak becomes further and further away from the people he is familiar with.
In a few years, he will eventually cut off his secular ties, and even if he returns home, he may not have anyone he can talk to.
Several Jindan monks in Qingyang Mountain and the two ancestors of Jinlu have gone into seclusion one after another. Now that Zhang Zhixuan is included, the sect's chores can only be placed on Han Yan's shoulders.
Ever since the Qingxuan Sect completely withdrew from the Southern Wilderness, the Qingtong Demon King had made several attempts to test the situation, which for a time made the monks of the Yu Kingdom panic, restricted a large amount of the Qingxuan Sect's manpower and material resources, and shocked Zhang Zhixuan and others three times a day.
They could only set up defenses everywhere, but they were left in a state of panic and very passive.
Unfortunately, if you walk too much at night, you will always encounter ghosts. A few years ago, the Demon King was almost killed by Master Liu Guyan, Liu Lingjun and his disciples, who caught the flaw and surrounded him on the edge of the Southern Wilderness.
After this battle, Qingtong Demon King stopped and retreated to the line between Guiyuan Mountain and Tianchan Cave.
Nineteen years have passed since Zhang Zhixuan broke through the fifth level of Jindan.
According to his normal cultivation progress, he stayed at the fifth level of the golden elixir for a little longer. The main reason for this is that Zhang Zhixuan spent eight years refining the elixir.
In the past eight years of refining alchemy, his cultivation level has not increased by one point.
The reason why many high-level alchemists cannot advance is because they waste a lot of time on alchemy, resulting in insufficient breakthrough advancement.
It is sometimes difficult to have both personal paths and the development of the sect.
The inner elixirs of monsters and high-level elixirs are often stored for a short time. As a high-level alchemist of the sect, they can only race against time to refine the elixirs.
When the situation is tight, there is not enough time for personal cultivation.
Fortunately, Zhang Zhixuan's lifespan is sufficient. If he were an elderly alchemist with insufficient lifespan, his path might be delayed in eight years and he would end up in the golden elixir realm.
In life, 10 out of 10 things are unsatisfactory.
Especially for sects and family monks, they often have various emotional ties and are far less free and easy-going than casual cultivators.
It's a pity that a casual cultivator, without a heaven-defying opportunity, cannot cultivate to the golden elixir realm.
Since you enjoy the benefits brought by your family and sect, you must bear your due responsibilities.
Zhang Zhixuan understood this truth many years ago. Therefore, in his heart, he would never blame his family or sect for such things.
Before Zhang Zhixuan broke through the retreat, he sat quietly for several days to adjust his body's energy and spirit to the best state, and then prepared to retreat.
Retreating in the sect's old nest, there is no need for Qingchan Dharma Protector.
However, when he practices self-created techniques, there are often more risks when making breakthroughs, and if he is not careful, he will regret it for life. Qingchan is well-informed, and if something goes wrong during the breakthrough process, he can immediately think of ways to remedy it.
, so as not to damage the foundation and leave behind regrets.
After nineteen years of accumulation, Zhang Zhixuan's magic power has reached its peak.
He practiced his self-created skills without many difficulties and bottlenecks. After the Golden Pill, Zhang Zhixuan's speed was much faster than that of ordinary Tianlinggen monks.
As the magic power continued to circulate, Zhang Zhixuan's meridians began to boil, and the true energy in his body was like a boiling river, flowing crazily into his dantian along his limbs and bones.
The Dantian is constantly operating, refining the magic power into the golden elixir.
Every time a piece of mana is refined, the golden elixir seems to become more lustrous and brighter.
When this golden elixir completes its transformation, it will be considered as breaking through the bottleneck.
As time passed, Zhang Zhixuan gradually closed his sense of the outside world and focused on breaking through the realm.
Spring passed and autumn came, and two years passed in the blink of an eye.
After two years of turmoil, Zhang Zhixuan successfully broke through the realm and became a sixth-level golden elixir monk, and his magic power also increased a bit.
After stabilizing his state, Zhang Zhixuan was about to leave the seclusion, but found Qingchan looking at him with a smile on his face. He suddenly asked strangely: "What happened today? Is there any good news?"
Qingchan smiled sweetly and said: "You did have some good news during the two years of seclusion. I don't know which one you want to hear?"
"You can say it slowly, I have plenty of time anyway."
"Before you came out of seclusion, Patriarch Jin also successfully broke through the realm."
Patriarch Jin is over seven hundred years old and has cultivated to the eighth level of the Golden Core. It seems that there is no hope of conceiving a baby in this life, and his future may not be as good as that of Chen Yunfeng.
Zhang Zhixuan nodded and said: "This is good news, but judging from your appearance, you must not be happy because of this kind of thing."
Zhang Zhixuan knew that they were only in the same sect with Patriarch Jin. Although they had known each other for many years, they were not very close emotionally.
Before Zhang Zhixuan and the others became enlightened, the old patriarch of Tiantai Peak was the one who really protected them. Since they were found by Liu Lingjun in Longjiang County, it was Liu Guyan and Liu Lingjun who protected them from behind.
If it weren't for repaying the family's kindness, the three golden elixirs of the Zhang family might not have boarded the Qingxuanzong ship. With Liu Lingjun's support, the world is so big that they can practice anywhere.
Although they are happy to see Patriarch Jin break through the realm, Qingchan may not be happy from the bottom of his heart.
Qingchan pursed his lips and smiled and said: "We have been together for more than two hundred years, but you still understand me. Some time ago, a letter came from Zerui. More than 20,000 miles south of Lushan County, the monks in his family discovered a new spiritual stone vein. He
He suppressed the news and prepared for me to conduct some secret exploration. If you hadn't been released soon, I might have returned to Lushan County long ago."
"Is this spirit stone mine located in Lushan County? Or is it included in Taicheng County?"
Zhang Zhixuan asked this question, and the implication of Qing Chan's words is self-evident.
If the Lingshi mine is located in Lushan County, the Zhang family can completely exclude the Wu family and cooperate with Qingxuanzong to develop the Lingshi mine and split the money based on the land.
For example, the former Chaoyin Mountain Lingshi Mine, because it was located in Taicheng County, allowed the Wu family to enjoy a large profit. By sending a foundation-building monk to garrison the mine, they could get a share of 2,000 in profits from the Lingshi.
Even if the Zhang family came from behind and took over the Zhu family's shares after Zhu Qing was established, the income from Chaoyin Mountain would not be the same as that of the Wu family because of the missed opportunity.
If the Lingshi mine is within Taicheng County, it would be inappropriate to exclude the Wu family.
Even if they were suppressed by the power of the Jin Dan Patriarch, although the Wu family did not dare to object, they might not be without resentment in their hearts.
