Zhang Zhixuan returned to the cave, told Qingchan about the queen bee's promotion, and then informed the clan leader Zhang Leqian about the cause of the matter.
In the past five years, most of the clan leader's injuries have recovered, and in another five years, his mana will be fully restored.
Although the patriarch Zhang Leqian is well-informed, his family has never raised white jade bees before. Except for Qingxuan Sect, there is no such experience elsewhere.
So the two wrote the family's difficulties in a letter and sent it to Zhang Hanyan of Qingxuan Sect. After Zhang Hanyan received the letter, he quickly found a foundation-building monk who was responsible for taking care of the White Jade Bee.
After a little inquiry, she found a solution to the problem.
It is very simple to solve this problem. As long as the monk takes a jade bee pill, the bees can treat him as a companion.
The Jade Bee Pill is a second-level low-grade elixir. The main material is the honey produced by the White Jade Bee, and two common spiritual herbs can be used to refine this elixir.
But the process of obtaining this elixir was very difficult, because the Jade Bee Pill was only owned by the Qingxuan Sect, and it was difficult for the Qingxuan Sect to spread the elixir. In order to get this elixir for his family, Han Yan had no choice but to agree to the Qingxuan Sect's General Affairs Hall. Under harsh conditions, he took care of the Jade Beehive in the elixir garden of the General Affairs Hall for thirty years.
With the elixir recipe in hand, Zhang Zhixuan was immediately ready to start refining the elixir. With this low-level second-level elixir, Zhang Zhixuan was almost sure of it, and the elixir-making rate was even as high as the ninth level.
Soon, he distributed the Jade Bee Pill. After the monks in the spiritual field used it, the effect was really good. The white jade bees in the hive regarded it as the same kind and easily picked the honey.
As the queen bee advanced, the honey produced each year doubled, and the royal jelly tripled. By this time, the output of the white jade honeycomb had surpassed that of yellow bud grass, becoming the family's largest source of wealth.
In addition to supplying the monks within the family, a large part of the honey and royal jelly produced every year is sold in the market.
This kind of scarce resource is almost unique in Xihefang City. As soon as it is released, it is snapped up by people. In just over a month, it is all sold out.
In just one month, more than 300 spiritual stones were exchanged for resources.
With the successful planting of Xuanyou Grass and the advancement of the White Jade Queen Bee, the family's deficit has finally been reduced. Maybe in a few years, when the size of the bee colony expands, the balance of payments can be achieved.
In the past five years, the family has continued to increase its efforts in developing spiritual fields, and has successfully developed two acres of spiritual fields.
In the seventeen years since Zhang Zhixuan came down from the mountain, the family has opened up five acres of spiritual land, adding thousands of kilograms of spiritual rice every year, which has alleviated the tension of spiritual rice.
In the past seventeen years since Zhang Zhixuan came down, although the Zhang family has encountered some turmoil, in general, the situation is still prosperous.
The only pity is Qingchan. Over the years, Zhang Zhixuan has been able to determine that her soul has been damaged, and he does not dare to let her rush to the foundation building bottleneck to avoid causing irreparable hidden dangers.
In this way, the days passed day by day, and another half year passed.
On this day, I finally got the good news. Zhang Hanyan finally replied and found out about a monk who was good at healing souls.
She spent a fortune and the man agreed to take a look at it for Qing Chan.
Upon receiving this letter, Zhang Zhixuan immediately laughed heartily. After waiting for so many years, he finally got the good news. He immediately told Qingchan, hoping to make her happy too.
Unfortunately, Qingchan seemed a little taciturn and didn't look very happy.
Zhang Zhixuan patted Qingchan on the shoulder and said: "Don't worry, we are just going to Qingxuan Sect and we won't go far.
Qingxuan Sect is not very far from here. You have been to Black Mountain once before, this time I will take you to Qingxuan Sect."
After receiving the letter, Zhang Zhixuan packed some things and immediately returned to Lushan, telling the clan leader that he was going to Qingxuan Sect.
In recent years, Lingtian has become the family's second mountain gate, and Zhang Zhixuan has been guarding it here.
Once he left, he immediately notified the clan leader and asked him to send men to replace Zhang Zhixuan to guard Lingtian.
After waiting for a few days, the 19th uncle Zhang Mengling and the 11th uncle Zhang Menghong came down from Tiantai Peak and temporarily moved to Zhang Zhixuan's cave.
Both of them are monks at the ninth level of Qi training. Together with the old and frail seventh uncle Zhang Mengyuan, three ninth-level Qi training monks, combined with the defensive formation, are enough to defend this place.
When the replacement candidate came, Zhang Zhixuan did not hesitate and left the cave almost on the same day, taking Qing Chan to Qingxuan Sect.
Although Zhang Zhixuan has built a foundation and can fly with a sword, he still cannot carry the mortal Qing Chan. In order to take care of her, he can only walk on foot. This will of course be much slower.
After walking for more than a month, they left Taicheng County and entered Longjiang County, another county among the three southeastern counties.
Looking at the entire three southeastern counties, Taicheng County is close to the vast sea and is closer to the shocking battle of the great supernatural monks. It was more severely damaged. The spiritual energy and resources for cultivation are slightly less than those of Longjiang County.
Because it is closer to Qingxuanzong, the monks in Longjiang County have more frequent contacts with Qingxuanzong. There are also slightly more foundation-building families in this county, as many as eight, and the local monks have a larger population.
But in the past few hundred years, the monks in Taicheng County have been overflowing with talent, and they have successively produced big men like Zhang Chuyun and Wu Siheng in the Zifu period. Therefore, in the past few hundred years, the foundation-building families in the three southeastern counties have also been based on the Zifu period in Taicheng County.
The family follows the lead.
Zhang Zhixuan and his two men entered Longjiang County. They had used up all their spiritual rice along the way and could only buy some at the local market in Longjiang County.
Even if Zhang Zhixuan has established the foundation, he is still far from being able to live without grains. Only when he has cultivated to the golden elixir stage, can the physical body be nourished by the spiritual energy, and can he be separated from food without refining the essence in the food, so as to completely live without grains.
Therefore, even the monks of the Zi Mansion must eat.
But when the monks in Zifu eat high-grade spiritual rice, even if they go out for business, they usually carry high-grade Bigu Pills with them.
The last time I went to Qingxuan Sect, my fourth uncle brought enough Bigu Pills with him.
This time I came out because I was in a hurry and Qingchan didn't like to eat bigu pills.
Zhang Zhixuan only brought some spiritual rice, but he didn't expect to finish it on the way, so Zhang Zhixuan didn't want to go hungry along the way, so he had to buy some at Fangshi in Longjiang County.
After all, the two of them are already monks. Just eating some ordinary food cannot refine the essence at all. If it goes on for a long time, the physical body will lose vitality.
The two of them are far from achieving enlightenment and becoming immortals. If they want to achieve success on the road to becoming immortals, of course they must protect their bodies.
Therefore, even if they were delayed for a few days, the two of them had to make up for their spiritual rice to avoid going to Qingxuan Sect hungry all the way.
