After returning from Zhang Lexin's residence, Xiao Zhen had mixed emotions.
Fortunately, they finally brought Zhang Lexin back from hell and saved his life; but sadly, his Dantian was shattered, his cultivation was completely lost, and he was completely reduced to a mortal.
Xiao Zhen specifically told Ru Lan, who was waiting by the side, to take good care of him. After he regained consciousness, he should not tell the other person the news and let him recover first.
After doing this, seeing that others were still in retreat to heal their wounds, Xiao Zhen temporarily assumed Xiao Shan's previous role and began to refine the elixir.
Originally, there were still three hundred spirit stones left in Taixuan Mountain, which was almost enough to run the mountain-protecting formation for three months. Now, those three hundred spirit stones have been consumed, and the mountain gate warehouse is empty.
If they don't earn some spiritual stones to supplement their income, no outsiders will come to attack this time, and the formation will have to be destroyed first.
Who would have thought that the Taixuan Sect, which was originally so famous and the best among the thirteen sects of Yaowang Valley, would end up in this situation.
Fortunately, Xiao Zhen successfully upgraded his alchemy skills to the second-level mid-level some time ago, and was even able to refine a medium-quality Xiaohuan Dan.
Even if it was only a second-level low-grade elixir, one piece would be worth about six spiritual stones.
In the next few days, Xiao Zhen simply lived in the alchemy room and kept refining the elixir.
During this period, Xiao Long and Chen Ru also successfully escaped from confinement.
Therefore, the two of them took the newly released low-level elixirs and sold them within a few hundred miles nearby.
The Dragon Tooth Valley is thousands of miles long. In addition to the three major spiritual mountains, there are also dozens of small and large spiritual veins scattered around. Some casual cultivators with higher cultivation levels or abandoned disciples of sects will basically choose to occupy a small area.
A piece of land was used as a place of cultivation, and then slowly expanded into a family place, and a cultivation family was established.
These cultivating families mainly make a living by planting low-level spiritual grass or hunting monsters. In order to maintain their daily practice needs, they need to purchase low-level spiritual elixirs from outside.
Since this place takes several days to travel from Fangshi, and the road is not smooth, it is easy to be attacked by monsters or killed by other monks to steal treasures. Some low-level spiritual materials, elixirs, spiritual talismans and other items will be traded on the spot.
In previous years, almost all the low-level elixirs refined by Taixuan Sect were sold through this method. With Xiao Long and Chen Ru helping each other, there is no need for Xiao Zhen to go out and do things himself.
The leader of a dignified sect actually needs to sell low-level elixirs.
If this matter is spread by someone who is interested, Taixuan Sect will be discredited, and it will be difficult to raise its head in front of other sects.
After Xiao Zhen's hard work for more than half a month, he refined a total of nearly a hundred small return pills and exchanged them for one hundred and forty spiritual stones. Because the spiritual herbs for refining the pills were all produced by himself, there was no need to deduct the cost.
Therefore, these spiritual stones were actually obtained.
With these spiritual stones, the embarrassing situation of the formation stopping on its own can be avoided.
Finally, Xiao Shan came out of seclusion.
As soon as he came out, he took over the work from Xiao Zhen. And Xiao Zhen could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
These days, he has been spinning like a top, leaving only one hour of meditation every day.
After briefly experiencing this, he realized more deeply how difficult it was for Xiaoshan to run a household some time ago. At the same time, he urgently hoped that the sect would have at least one foundation-building monk in charge.
A sect that only has monks in the Qi Refining Stage will inevitably be bullied by others.
This made him look forward even more to the Hidden Moon Secret Realm three years later. Whether Taixuan Sect can escape from its current predicament, or even soar into the sky, this level is crucial.
However, he must survive the summons from Yaowang Valley in half a month.
On this day, Xiao Zhen was refining elixirs in the cave to increase his cultivation. When he finished his practice, Xiao Shan came to visit.
"Uncle Master, if you have something to do, just summon me over. I don't need you to go there in person." Xiao Zhen was quite surprised to see the other party coming in person.
"Well, there are a lot of people talking here, so some things are hard to talk about in detail. It's quiet and quiet here, so it's better to talk here."
After not seeing each other for a few days, Xiao Shan seemed a little more tired.
"In the past few days, I have often thought that in a few days, you will go to Yaowang Valley. I dare to ask, do you have any plans?"
There were only two uncles and nephews here, so Xiao Shan asked directly.
Xiao Zhen smiled bitterly and said, "This time, I'm afraid we can't pretend to be our ancestors anymore."
"You are right. The Jinting Sect has invaded the door so blatantly, but the ancestors have not responded at all. This is really unreasonable. This is what I am worried about. I am afraid that outsiders can vaguely guess what is going on.
The truth is that our Taixuan Sect will probably no longer have the capital to dominate the other twelve sects." Xiao Shan also shook his head, looking depressed.
When Old Man Taixuan was still alive, even though he was very powerful in battle, he did not behave badly in bullying other people.
Who would have thought that people are harmless, but wolves can hurt others. As long as Taixuan Sect shows a slight decline, there will be people behind it who will add insult to injury.
Therefore, their Taixuan Sect will definitely have to keep their tail between their legs for a long time to come.
"Yes, outsiders already know what we should know. However, we still can't wait until we die. Yaowang Valley is a well-known family in the right way, and we act in accordance with the laws of the three mountains. As long as we behave properly and sit upright,
There is nothing it can do against us. Uncle Master, what I want to ask is whether our ancestors have had good relations with some of the elders in Yaowang Valley before, maybe we can start from here."
This is the solution that Xiao Zhen has been thinking about these days. Maybe they can "go through the back door". As long as they can establish some connections with the upper echelons of Yaowang Valley and have someone to say something for them, they should not have to suffer much grievance.
.
The Taixuan Sect is really in decline now, and it is very likely that a little change above can bring them countless troubles.
"By the way, speaking of this, that's exactly why I'm here. You take it first."
After finishing speaking, Xiao Shan took out a volume from his arms, carefully placed it in Xiao Zhen's hand, and continued: "Yao Wang Valley established its sect based on alchemy, and it values alchemy the most. Here are the alchemy skills I have learned over the years.
At the same time, I also mixed a small part of the contents of Tushita Danjue into a mixture. Even in Yaowang Valley, some of my insights have merit. You take it with you, and then
Find an opportunity to visit Chen Shunyi in the valley, maybe you can get help from here."
"This Chen Shunyi is a senior who my ancestors took me to see when I was obsessed with alchemy. He gave me some advice on alchemy and is barely half of my teacher."
