"Sir, you are back." A woman in plain clothes walked out after hearing the sound.
"Forget it, let's not go in. After I leave tomorrow, you can move in by yourself!" When Shen Yuan saw the woman approaching, he hurriedly turned around and left, as if he didn't want to see this person.
Liu Yu had no choice but to follow him. He had been running around for several days to get to Tianping County and was a little tired. But Senior Brother Shen was in a hurry to get away and was busy explaining things, dragging him around without even taking a moment to rest.
"The old woman just now is the servant who takes care of the food. She is quite honest. If you want to eat something, you can give her the silver and let her go and arrange it." Shen Yuan, who was walking in front, suddenly said.
"Oh! Senior brother, where are we going now?" Liu Yu responded, feeling a little dissatisfied with Senior Brother Shen.
"Yannancheng governs nine counties. Do you know why only Tianping County is garrisoned by sect disciples? The other eight counties are served by useless casual cultivators." Shen Yuan slowed down and asked.
"Brother, why is this?" Liu Yu asked without really thinking about this question, secretly wondering if there was any hidden secret.
"The place we are going to now is the Zhang family, the richest family in Tianping County." Shen Yuan said mysteriously. Then he slowly explained the reason.
It turns out that the Zhang family in Tianping County is a family that cultivates immortality. It used to be a big family and had produced several immortal cultivators in the foundation-building period. It was an old family for more than 2,000 years, but now it has failed.
Three hundred years ago, the Zhang family was getting weaker and weaker. There were fewer and fewer immortal cultivators in the family, and their cultivation levels were not high. In the past, the magical weapons and techniques left behind by the ancestors inevitably aroused the covetousness of some desperate murderers, and the family did not have the strength to protect them. .Following the mysterious deaths of several immortal cultivators in the family, the head of the Zhang family of that generation dedicated a large number of magical weapons, exercises, and elixirs to Huang Shengzong in exchange for Huang Shengzong's protection and commitment.
At that time, Huang Shengzong issued a decree in the world of immortality: The Zhang family in Tianping County is protected by Huang Shengzong. Anyone who harms anyone in the Zhang family without reason will be regarded as an enemy of Huang Shengzong, and Huang Shengzong will definitely come forward to pursue and suppress him without mercy. This order will take effect as long as Huang Shengzong exists for one day. One day.
Huang Shengzong's private promise to the Zhang family is: if the qualifications of the Zhang family's descendants meet the Huang Shengzong's standards for accepting disciples, Huang Shengzong will give priority to the disciples and teach them carefully. And every one hundred years, a descendant of the Zhang family can be sent to Huangsheng Mountain to practice and cultivate immortality. There is no qualification limit, this is an exception to the rule.
Nowadays, the Zhang family is getting worse with each generation, and the family power is getting smaller and smaller. The person with the highest cultivation level in the Zhang family is named Zhang Zhenguang. He has mixed spiritual roots of fire, earth, and gold, and has very ordinary qualifications. Huang Shengzong made an exception and accepted him as Disciple. Now he has reached the eighth level of Qi cultivation and is practicing in Huangsheng Mountain.
In addition, there are six immortal cultivators in the Zhang family. Their qualifications are too poor. They are either five-line miscellaneous spiritual roots or four-line miscellaneous spiritual roots. Each of them has a low level of cultivation. The highest one is the family patriarch who only has a fifth-level cultivation level. Shen Yuan told Liu Yu that part of the reason why the sect sent disciples to station here was to better protect the Zhang family.
Another part of the reason is to monitor the Zhang family. It turns out that the Zhang family is in decline, but they still have a piece of spiritual land in hand. This spiritual land is of high quality. After 1,200 years of careful care, it has become a qualified second-grade medium spiritual land. , many rare elixirs can be grown.
The Zhang family planted the second-grade high-quality elixir "Yin Ling Flower" on this spiritual field. The "Yin Ling Flower" has special growth conditions. It can only grow in a place where Yin Qi and the five elements' spiritual Qi coexist. It blooms once every twenty years. The flowers are composed of six petals, each petal has a different color, including red, gold, white, green, yellow and black, which is very charming.
The mature Yin Ling flower is the main medicine for refining the third-grade inferior elixir "Jade Spirit Pill", which is priceless. "Jade Spirit Pill" is the elixir used by the immortal cultivators in the foundation-building period. A small bottle of "Jade Spirit Pill"
"In the drugstore, you need at least 1,200 yuan of low-level spiritual stones, which shows how valuable the "Yinling Flower" is.
This second-grade spiritual field is owned by the Zhang family and has nothing to do with Huang Shengzong. However, because the Zhang family is too weak, when the Yin Ling Flower matures, cultivators with advanced cultivation levels will come to snatch it. These people are worried about this.
Huang Shengzong promised not to hurt anyone when he arrived, but he snatched the ripe Yin Ling Flower and ran away. The Zhang family could not keep the fruits of their labor.
They could only reach an agreement with Huang Shengzong, and 50% of the Yin Ling Flowers produced in the spiritual field would be dedicated to Huang Shengzong, in exchange for Huang Shengzong sending monks with high magic power to guard the spiritual field every time the Yin Ling Flower matured until the Zhang family was able.
Until you protect yourself.
Every twenty years when the Yin Ling Flower matures, the Huang Sheng Sect will send several foundation-building immortal cultivators to guard this second-grade spiritual field and collect 50% of the mature Yin Ling Flower.
In a few years, the Yin Spirit Flowers in the Zhang family's spiritual field will mature again. Liu Yu's task is to monitor the Zhang family, not to make any small moves, and to watch this second-grade spiritual field to prevent any trouble.
"Junior brother, if you find anything unusual happens in the Zhang family, just send someone to send a message to Yannan City, and the sect will take care of it on its own," Shen Yuan said in a low voice.
From the perspective of Huang Shengzong's senior officials, the Zhang family is under the jurisdiction of Huang Shengzong. Unless the Zhang family really has the ability to protect this spiritual field, Huang Shengzong will have to decide on the 50% of the Yin Spirit Flower and cannot tolerate anything else.
The power is involved.
"Brother, I got it." Liu Yu didn't expect such a secret. It seems that in Tianping County, he really can't be careless when he holds the position of Heavenly Master.
The two arrived at the Zhang family soon. The Zhang family courtyard was very grand, with several courtyards connected together, tall buildings and pavilions, and magnificent. In the Zhang family, they only saw a middle-aged manager named Zhang Zhenqi, who was a man.
He is a cultivator at the third level of qi training. I heard from him that the head of the Zhang family is not in the mansion and has gone to Lingwu Villa.
Shen Yuan took Liu Yu and stood up to say goodbye. Zhang Zhenqi tried his best to persuade the two of them to stay as guests in the Zhang family for a few days. He immediately sent someone to invite the patriarch to come back, but Shen Yuan took Liu Yu with him on the grounds that he had something important to do.
Yu walked out of the Zhang family courtyard.
"Junior brother Liu, this Lingwu Villa is on Lingwu Mountain outside the city. The scenery is really good, but it is too remote. The spiritual field is in the Villa. Now that you have contacted the Zhang family, go and see for yourself.
Look." Shen Yuan said with a sigh of relief. After explaining the most important things clearly, he can go back to Yannan City tomorrow.
"Lingwu Villa?" Liu Yu said to herself, thinking that she must pay a visit when she has time.
Next, the two of them visited several medical clinics on the street before returning to the county government office. Liu Yu rested in the side room arranged by County Magistrate Lin. Shen Yuan chatted with Magistrate Lin for a while and hurried out again.
, it seems like there is something important.
Lin Zihe's family of three were sitting in Lin Hongyu's boudoir. Lin Zihe was leaning on a wooden chair, his eyes wandering and not knowing what he was thinking. The mother and daughter were sitting on the edge of the bed, talking.
"Dad, Mr. Liu really just came to take office? He didn't mention anything else." Lin Hongyu asked unwillingly.
