Immortal Path Evergreen
Chapter 11 Lushan County
The yellow bud grass can only be preserved for three days, so Zhang Mengquan and his team can only race against time to refine the elixir. There is only one qualified alchemist in the family, and the other two alchemy apprentices are still at a low level and are not qualified to refine the golden bud pill alone, so they can't help him much.
More than a hundred yellow bud grasses, each of which can refine a furnace of elixir. Even if Zhang Mengquan is an iron man, he may not be able to support it after refining hundreds of furnaces of elixir.
Moreover, Zhang Mengquan is already an old monk over sixty years old, and his physical strength is not as good as before.
After three consecutive days of non-stop refining elixirs, Zhang Mengquan's vitality was somewhat depleted, and he finally completed the task and successfully refined more than 500 golden bud pills.
The price of a pill like golden bud pill is often more than three or four low-grade spirit stones.
In the shops in the market, the price of a bottle of golden bud pill is thirty-six low-grade spirit stones, and the price of 500 golden bud pills has exceeded 1,600 spirit stones.
According to the family's welfare, the family only provides one Golden Bud Pill per year to the cultivators in the middle stage of Qi training. If they can advance to the late stage of Qi training, the number will immediately triple. This welfare does not distinguish between the good and bad spiritual roots, but only depends on the level of cultivation.
If you still want more Golden Bud Pills, you can only exchange them with family contributions.
It has been five years since Zhang Zhixuan advanced to the middle stage of Qi training, and he has taken five Golden Bud Pills.
In the middle stage of Qi training, every time you take a Golden Bud Pill, the spiritual energy you refine is equivalent to two months of meditation for a cultivator with three spiritual roots.
Taking spiritual pills to train Qi is so fast and convenient, far exceeding the efficiency of hard meditation to train Qi, which makes countless cultivators flock to it, and do everything possible to collect spiritual objects and refine different spiritual pills with various effects.
Unfortunately, although the spiritual pills are good, they have pill poison. If you take the spiritual pills without restraint for a long time, the pill poison will accumulate in the body and hide, and when the cultivator advances, it will suddenly break out, usually killing people.
According to the family's experience of taking Golden Bud Pills for many years, taking one Golden Bud Pill every three months is the best effect. Three months is just enough to completely eliminate the poison in the body without any hidden dangers.
During the days when Zhang Mengquan was recuperating, the family had sent an escort monk from the mountain to take Zhang Mengquan, Zhang Mengyuan and others back to the mountain gate.
With hundreds of Golden Bud Pills, even if Zhang Mengquan was already a ninth-level Qi training cultivator, the family was still worried.
For this reason, Zhang Mengling, the general affairs elder, Zhang Menglong, the transmission elder, and Zhang Mengchong, the law enforcement elder, three ninth-level Qi training cultivators went down the mountain together to welcome Zhang Mengquan, the alchemy elder, to prevent attacks from hostile cultivators and avoid accidents.
Decades ago, many unfamiliar casual cultivators came to the three southeastern counties, including many casual cultivators in the foundation-building stage.
These cultivators were all poor casual cultivators with no spiritual veins, no spiritual fields, and even few spiritual stones.
In order to maintain their cultivation and continue to practice, they almost did all kinds of bad things, often with the idea of making a quick buck and leaving, and often killed and robbed near the mountain gates of various cultivators.
Thirty years ago, the clan leader was injured because he was besieged by these scattered cultivators. For this reason, he had to use the family's fourth-level spiritual talisman, and even lost the family's other third-level spiritual vein, Jiuhua Mountain.
Perhaps it was because they saw that the Zhang family cultivators were numerous and powerful. Zhang Mengyuan and Zhang Mengquan were already in the late stage of Qi training, and Zhang Mengling, Zhang Menglong, and Zhang Mengchong who came to greet them were even more difficult to mess with.
If the cultivators of this lineup hold the formation flag, even if they are cultivators in the early stage of foundation building, they can fight.
Moreover, the clan leader is still recuperating in the mountain gate. If he ventures out and brings the fourth-level spiritual talisman, even if he is a cultivator in the middle stage of foundation building, he may die on the spot.
So the journey was smooth, and Zhang Mengquan and his companions went up the mountain safely.
When Zhang Mengquan and his companions left, only Zhang Zhixuan was left in the spiritual field.
Because he had just learned the Soul Gathering and Raining Technique, casting spells consumes too much energy, and the spiritual energy in the spiritual field is far less than that in the mountain gate. Every time he casts a spell, it takes three or four days to replenish his mana.
With this level of consumption, he has almost no time to practice.
Only when the spell is proficient will the consumption be reduced, and he can have more free time.
Faced with this situation, Zhang Zhixuan knew that being anxious would not work.
He practiced the Qi Condensation Technique once every morning, and then pondered the Soul Gathering and Raining Technique, and spent the rest of the time meditating to restore his mana.
If there is still time, he will take time to go to Lushan County.
After hundreds of years of development, Lushan County now has a population of more than 40,000. Counting the population of the 17 nearby townships, the population under the command of the Zhang family monks has exceeded 100,000.
Among these hundreds of thousands of people, the Zhang family has the largest number of clansmen, adding up to more than 40,000. The rest of the population are all dependent populations of other surnames, relying on the protection of the Zhang family monks to survive in this world.
This world is much wider than the Earth, and the population density is much sparser than the Earth.
The survival of mortals is also more difficult.
There are not only normal natural disasters and man-made disasters, but also attacks by monsters and disturbances by ghosts.
Even the fighting between monks is a disaster for mortals.
There are also some demon monks who use the souls and flesh of mortals to refine evil magic tools. If the town is not protected by monks, it is impossible to have a moment of peace.
So in this world, the towns of mortals are not too far away from the spiritual veins of monks. Only under the protection and care of monks can mortals continue to reproduce.
The Zhang family is a vassal of the Qingxuan Sect, and the Qingxuan Sect is the protector of the three southeastern counties of the Yu Kingdom. The Jindan ancestor of the Qingxuan Sect has no descendants.
The Wu family, the Marquis of Zhennan, who has been in charge of the three southeastern counties, is the descendant of a purple mansion cultivator of the Qingxuan Sect, and has been passed down for more than 300 years.
After Zhang Tairen, the ancestor of the Zhang family, settled in Lushan, he took in many wives and concubines to expand the family. Soon, within a hundred years, the mortals of the Zhang family exceeded several thousand.
These mortals built towns and opened up farmland at the foot of Lushan, and gradually established Lushan County, which has lasted for more than three hundred years to this day.
This county is the tentacles of the Zhang family cultivators in the mortal world. Everything in the city is controlled by the Zhang family cultivators, and the Zhennan Marquis Mansion never interferes.
From the county magistrate to the county lieutenant, the head of the police, the patrol city and other officials, they are all low-level cultivators who are attached to the Zhang family.
Once faced with danger, these low-level cultivators will sound the alarm and wait for the mountain gate cultivators to come to the rescue.
To the east of Lushan is the vast sea of the Absolute Spirit Land, and there are no sea monsters.
Many years ago, the mountain was just a barren mountain, with insufficient spiritual energy and not many monsters.
Moreover, the southern wilderness is guarded by the large sect Qingxuan Sect, and few high-level monsters can break through the defense line of Qingxuan Sect.
Only some naturally formed first-level monsters often come down from the mountains. These insignificant first-level monsters are the biggest threat to the mortals in Lushan County.
The first-level monsters have instinctively awakened a spell, and they have thick skin and flesh as a support, and their fur is as hard as gold and iron.
The innate cultivators in the city have a low level of cultivation, have not yet refined their spiritual power, and do not know any spells. They have no way to deal with monsters, and often ask for help from the Qi-training cultivators who plant spiritual fields.
Over time, the cultivators in the city have gradually come under the control of the cultivators who guard the spiritual fields.
I caught a cold just after opening the new book, so I had to slow down the update. Today I feel a little better and resume two updates. In the future, there will be two updates without any accidents. It’s not that I don’t want to update more, but I’m really clumsy and can’t write!
