In this sword fight, the Ziyang Sect won a complete victory. They only captured two sixth-level high-grade magic weapons, which greatly enhanced the sect's heritage.
Relying on the prestige of this sword fight, Ziyang Sect stepped on the corpse of Yanghuo Palace and gained a great reputation in the Great Zhou Dynasty.
With the power of Ziyang Sect, even in terms of overall strength, it may not be as good as Yanghuo Palace, but in terms of the combat power of Yuanying monks, it is enough to compete with Yanghuo Palace, even though Yanghuo Palace now has three more dimensions than Ziyang Sect.
infant.
Today's Ziyang Sect is no less powerful than the ten major sects of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Even if it is not as powerful as the Huangji Sect, it has surpassed the weakest Dongxuan Sect and Yinyang Sect.
Southern Wasteland was originally a vast area with few people, but the territory occupied by the Ziyang Sect was vast and sufficient for its use.
Counting Tianyuan Island, they have controlled four sixth-level spiritual veins. Within one or two thousand years, there will be no shortage of spiritual vein cultivation.
The only disadvantage of the Ziyang Sect now is insufficient accumulation. Not only are there relatively few high-level spiritual objects in the sect's treasury, but the population controlled by the sect is also somewhat insufficient. The sect's internal territory is underdeveloped, and many places are barren.
The proven ore veins are also slightly insufficient.
After Zhang Zhixuan and the others returned to the sect, they recuperated and regained their strength while increasing efforts to develop the territory.
Now that the Great Zhou Dynasty has signed a contract with the Southern Wilderness monsters, high-level monsters will not invade, and the conflicts with Yanghuo Palace and Yunxiao Sect have been resolved, and there are no powerful enemies outside the Ziyang Sect.
As the external environment improved, Ziyang Sect's development immediately became extremely rapid.
In just a few years, more than ten mineral veins have been discovered in the sect's territory, and one of the newly discovered small spirit stone mines is near Black Mountain.
Taking advantage of this period of recuperation, Zhang Zhixuan expanded the inheritance of Huangting Taoism.
He selected talents from the sect and selected more than 20 monks who could practice the art of accumulating energy.
With these twenty more seeds, the supply of Ziyang Pills can be greatly increased.
With the additional channel of Ziyang Pill, the number of monks in the foundation building period will inevitably increase greatly.
In a sect, the monks in the Qi-training period are the foundation of the sect, and the monks in the foundation-building period are the backbone.
Only with a solid backbone can the sect prosper.
As the sun rises in the east, streaks of purple energy are refined into the Dantian. After practicing Qi Accumulation Technique for hundreds of years, even if he has become a Nascent Soul, Zhang Zhixuan is still unwilling to delay the practice of this technique.
Many monks will become lax after becoming Nascent Soul and indulge in pleasure. If they persevere for hundreds of years, ascetic monks like him are rare among immortal cultivators.
After finishing the work, Zhang Zhixuan was preparing to pay a private visit incognito to see if the rules and regulations of the house were strictly followed.
With a flash of consciousness, he discovered that Liu Guyan actually appeared in the underground cave of Lingjing Mountain.
With the rapid development of the sect in recent years, the organization of the Ziyang Sect has also been slowly adjusted.
In addition to Zhang Zhixuan as the leader, the two elders who enforce the law and teach the skills are also served by Yuanying monks.
Qing Chan had already resigned as the law enforcement elder and was now the grand elder of the Ziyang Sect. The position of law enforcement elder was handed over to Xia Youqing.
On the other hand, Guyan has always been the elder who teaches the skills.
As for Han Yan and others, they resigned from their sect positions early after having a baby and became the supreme elders of the sect. They would not interfere in the sect's secular affairs easily and focused on cultivating the sixth-level spiritual veins.
Guyan has been pregnant for six years, and his cultivation level has reached the third level of Nascent Soul.
Her physique is very suitable for the practice of Ziyang Tianhuo Jue, otherwise Lingjun would not accept her as a disciple. However, her understanding is relatively average. Ziyang Tianhuo Jue is not a technique created by Guyan himself, so it is inevitable that there will be some bumps and bumps in her practice.
After becoming the Nascent Soul, Guyan's cultivation speed was neither too fast nor too slow. It was almost impossible to reach the late Nascent Soul stage before turning around. Such a monk would have almost no chance of cultivating the Nascent Soul without a heaven-defying opportunity.
Seeing Zhang Zhixuan, Gu Yan saluted.
"Meet the ancestor of the head."
"Are you here to see me or Qingchan?"
"The Patriarch has gone into seclusion and is preparing to break through the eighth level of the Nascent Soul at once. The first reason I came to see the Grandmaster is because the Lanjiang Conference is approaching and the sect needs to decide who will participate as soon as possible. Secondly, there are already many monks practicing Qi Yun Technique.
The sect should strengthen management to prevent the practice from being leaked to outsiders."
The Qi Accumulating Technique is very important. Although the Purple Yang Pill is of low grade, it is only useful for monks to break through to the foundation building stage. However, this kind of pill recipe is a strategic treasure for any sect.
Once the Ziyang Pill recipe is leaked, it will inevitably face pressure from all the major sects. At that time, the Ziyang Sect will probably have no choice but to make the recipe public and spread the inheritance of Qi Accumulation Technique.
Zhang Zhixuan is absolutely unwilling to face this situation.
"What are you going to do?"
"The sect does not have a complete inheritance of the secret-keeping technique. Once someone searches for the soul, I am afraid that the secret of the Qi-accumulating technique cannot be kept. In my opinion, all monks who have practiced the Qi-accumulating technique should at least refine the golden elixir and have a certain degree of freedom.
With the power of Bao, you cannot leave the mountain gate for the time being until your cultivation is complete. Maybe in a few years, the sect will be able to make up for this foundation."
Zhang Zhixuan stood with his hands behind his back, nodded and said: "This is the only way to do it. Don't make a big deal about this matter and alarm too many people. As for the Lanjiang Conference, the sect will naturally participate. Qingchan has closed the death gate, and Lingjun remains.
Guarding the mountain gate, I will personally attend this conference."
The Lanjiang Conference is held once every two hundred years and is a famous trading event in the world of immortal cultivation in the Great Zhou Dynasty.
The Lanjiang Sect that held the grand event was also one of the ten major sects of the Great Zhou Dynasty. There were fourteen Nascent Souls under its sect, ranking fourth among the ten major sects of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Its power was even greater than that of the Yanghuo Palace.
However, the Lanjiang Conference has many rules, and casual cultivators are not welcome to attend. If you want to participate in the conference, you must have an invitation from the Lanjiang Sect.
The Ziyang Sect has been established for more than 400 years. The first few years of its establishment coincided with the first Lanjiang Conference, so the Lanjiang Sect must not have known about it.
Moreover, at that time, the sect only had two Nascent Souls, Liu Lingjun and Chen Yunfeng, as well as the Southern Wilderness monsters, Xuan Su Sect and other foreign enemies invading. I am afraid that the Lanjiang Sect did not care about this small Southern Wilderness sect at all, and naturally would not send Yuan Ying.
The Ying monk sent the Lanjiang order.
Two hundred years ago, the Lanjiang Sect sent an invitation. Unfortunately, at that time, Zhang Zhixuan, Qing Chan and others were refining ancient demons in the vast sea and could not get away. Even Chen Yunfeng was protecting Xia Youqing. Tianyuan Island
They also spent spiritual stones to hire outsiders to take charge, and it was impossible to send monks to the Great Zhou Dynasty, so they could only regretfully miss the conference.
In this Lanjiang Conference, Ziyang Sect will naturally not miss this opportunity.
Because of its shallow foundation, the sect has many shortcomings in its inheritance, especially the magic spells and secret-keeping techniques, which are far inferior to those of the ten major sects.
When encountering high-level demon cultivators, it is easy for them to sneak into the sect.
Zhang Zhixuan clearly knows that the decisive battle between good and evil in Nanya Prefecture is approaching. Qingchan killed Hu Yongchou, and the Ziyang Sect must be involved in the calculation of Moyun Cave. The means of defense against demonic cultivators must be strengthened to avoid being attacked by demons.
