Chronicles of Ascension: The Path to Immortality

Next, Henry Zhang repeatedly refined these five kinds of talismans.

When his spiritual power was exhausted, he meditated and practiced the Heavenly Fire Art to restore his spiritual power.

In this way, not only did his talisman refining skills become more proficient, but his fourth-level Heavenly Fire Technique also improved.

At dawn, Henry Zhang rode his two-winged flying leopard to the Nine Lao Holy Palace in the inner ring.

The person who received him was Ku Zhang Yingda.

"It's so early for the Ten Clansmen to arrive." Zhang Yingda complimented.

"Are the other clan elders not here yet?"

"No, the ten tribes are always the first to come."

Zhang Yingda led the elders of the ten clans into an open room on the top floor of the Nine Lao Sacred Palace.

"This is the place where the elders' meeting is held." Zhang Yingda introduced.

Henry Zhang nodded slightly and sat down on the seat closest to him.

When Zhang Ying saw it, his face was shocked, and he came over hastily and said: "Old man of the ten clans, you can't do this!"

Henry Zhang asked in confusion: "What's the matter?"

"The seat you sit in belongs to the clan leader."

When Henry Zhang heard this, he felt as if his butt was sitting on a soldering iron and quickly moved away.

"Sorry, sorry..." Henry Zhang apologized quickly and moved his butt to another seat.

"That position belongs to the elder of the second clan." Zhang Yingda said helplessly.

Henry Zhang quickly stood up again. Zhang Yingda pointed to the last position and said: "That position belongs to the elder of the ten clans."

"Thanks for the reminder." Henry Zhang sat down at the end dejectedly.

After waiting for half an hour, several other clan elders also arrived one after another.

Among them, the elders of the eighth clan, the ninth clan and the second clan even greeted Henry Zhang.

The patriarch Zhang Yuhuai came in last.

Henry Zhang found that the patriarch’s eyebrows were frowning, as if something was in trouble.

"It may have something to do with the clan elders' meeting this time." Henry Zhang speculated in his mind.

The patriarch sat down in his seat and found that something seemed wrong. He glanced at Henry who was sitting at the end, intentionally or unintentionally.

Zhang Xuan looked at his nose with his eyes and his heart with his nose, as if an old god was there.

Zhang Yingda closed the door and set up a soundproof enclosure.

At this time, the clan elders were also confused as to what made the clan leader so cautious.

"The purpose of calling all the clan elders here this time is actually to discuss a major matter. It is not an exaggeration to say that this matter is related to the life and death of the Zhangjiaji." Zhang Yuhuai said.

At this time, the elders of all the clans looked at the leader of the clan with solemn expressions.

"In two months, the Qingyun Sect will come to collect the tributes that are paid once every ten years. Everyone knows that the tributes the Qingyun Sect wants must be third-level spiritual objects or above. In the next hundred years, our clan can still rely on them. The treasures have been handed over, but now they are exhausted, and the trip to the Immortal Cat Cave Secret Realm has not yielded the Blood Corpse Divine Spring. If I cannot hand in the tribute this time, I am afraid that I will make the Shangzong angry! "

After Zhang Yuhuai finished speaking, all the clan elders were also confused.

Henry Zhang had indeed heard a little bit about paying tribute once every ten years.

However, he didn't know that the family had already exhausted all its resources and was unable to produce third-level spiritual objects.

If Shangzong becomes angry, their little Fairy Cat Valley can't afford to offend him.

If the skin is gone, the hair will not be attached.

If the family is gone, how can we survive?

At this time, Zhang Yujue, the elder of the three clans, said: "When it comes to spiritual objects above the third level, my clan still has one."

Zhang Meng, the elder of the second clan, immediately said: "Don't even think about it. The sword wall is the foundation of our clan's inheritance and must not be turned over."

"If we don't hand over the sword wall, the Qingyun Sect will send other forces to occupy the Immortal Cat Valley. Where should our Zhangjiaji go? I think all the clan elders understand what is more important." Zhang Yujue said calmly.

At this time, the clan elders were also talking about it.

Some support handing over Jianbi.

Some are firmly opposed.

Zhang Xuan spoke softly and did not join the clan elders' debate.

He knew that his status as the patriarch of the clan was actually a bit undeserved. It was only thanks to his ancestor Zhang Xing that he earned such a title.

It is already a great favor for the clan leader to allow him to participate in this clan elders meeting.

If you express your opinions casually at this time, you will not be able to understand your position clearly.

"Quiet."

Zhang Yuhuai said two words lightly, and all the clan members fell silent.

"Besides Jianbi, we actually have a second way." Zhang Yuhuai said to everyone.

"Is there another third-level or higher spiritual object in our clan?" Everyone was puzzled.

"Now is the time to make it public to everyone." Zhang Yuhuai glanced at Zhang Yingda.

Zhang Yingda walked to the front, glanced at the elders present and said:

"Just half a year ago, a foundation-building casual cultivator named Xu Wujiu came to Zhangjiaji and claimed that there was a first-order spiritual vein that was about to take shape outside my Zhangjiaji. The clan leader didn't believe it at first, but until Xu Wujiu After showing his second-level spirit-seeking rat, the clan leader was convinced."

"Xu Wujiu proposed that he could help our clan open the spiritual veins. After the spiritual veins are fully formed, the resulting spiritual fields and mines will belong to my Zhang family. However, the spiritual objects accompanying the spiritual veins will belong to him. The clan leader agreed to Xu Wujiu's proposal. A blameless request.”

"Just a few days ago, Xu Wujiu finally opened the vent of the first-order spiritual vein, and as expected, a first-order mid-grade spiritual vein was generated. Although the quality of this spiritual vein is worse than the one in his clan's territory, it is still good. It can generate thousands of acres of first-level middle-grade spiritual fields and tens of thousands of acres of lower-grade spiritual fields.”

As soon as Zhang Yingda finished speaking, the clan elders below were all dumbfounded, and then their eyes showed ecstasy.

"Do we really have an extra spiritual vein?" Zhang Meng, the elder of the second clan, was still a little unbelievable.

The elder closed his eyes and nodded slightly.

At this time, Zhang Xuan suddenly understood: "No wonder the clan spent so much effort to relocate Temple Street and set up an isolation array at the original site of Temple Street. It seems that this newly formed spiritual vein is near Temple Street."

Zhang Yingda continued: "The companion spiritual object of the newly formed spiritual vein is a piece of dragon scale jade, which is a third-level spiritual object."

Zhang Meng immediately said: "The clan leader means to offer this piece of dragon scale jade to the upper sect, but will Xu Wujiu agree?"

"No? Just kill him." Zhang Yujue said with narrowed eyes.

Zhang Yingda said: "According to our indirect inquiries, Xu Wujiu should be a casual cultivator and a vein seeker. He can even tame the second-level spirit-seeking rat. He should have some skills."

"Even if his skills are against the sky, he is only at the foundation-building level. We, the Zhang family, have gathered seven foundation-building cultivators and set up a killing array. I don't believe he won't die." The third clan elder Zhang Yujue said in a deep voice.

At this time, the elders all showed a cold look in their eyes.

Zhang Xuan couldn't help but feel a chill on his back when listening to the elders discussing killing a foundation-building person.

When discussing killing Xu Wujiu, whether to keep the promise was not even within the scope of discussion.

The focus of everyone's discussion was whether to kill and how to kill.

"Everyone, please express your opinion on whether to kill Xu Wujiu." Zhang Yuhuai said expressionlessly.

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

...

It was Zhang Xuan's turn, and he also timidly said: "Kill..."

"Okay, since all the elders agree to kill Xu Wujiu, then kill him!" Zhang Yuhuai said.

At this time, Zhang Xuan always felt that there was something wrong.

Xu Wujiu dared to go deep into the Fairy Cat Valley to negotiate with the clan leader. Wasn't he afraid that the clan leader would break his promise?

If the Zhang clan broke his promise, didn't Xu Wujiu have a backup plan?

The weirdest thing was Xu Wujiu's second-level spirit-seeking rat, which could not only find spirit veins, but also feed on barrier beasts.

Killing Xu Wujiu may not be that easy.
