Immortal Path Evergreen

"There is one foundation-building pill left, so don't try to get it. Zhixuan has promised to leave it to the descendants of the Wang family. Our Zhang family has been established in Taicheng County for more than 400 years. We have always kept our promises and will definitely do what we promised. A few days ago, I personally went to Qingyang Market and bought a Nine Palace Box. Today, the three keys are kept in the hands of me, Zhixuan, and Daoyou Wang. When it's time to take this foundation-building pill, the three of us will open it separately.

If I am gone, this key will be handed over to Qingchan. Everyone present today, you all should be witnesses."

The Nine Palace Box is a special treasure. Although this magic weapon is only of the second-grade upper grade, it is very difficult to refine. If you are not a refiner of the third grade or above, you have no confidence in refining this magic weapon.

The Nine Palace Box is a magic weapon that is generally used to store precious treasures. The space inside it is very small and can only hold a few books.

This kind of magic weapon has a fire spirit talisman placed inside. If the key to open the magic weapon is not used properly, the fire spirit talisman inside will be activated, and the spiritual objects stored inside will be completely destroyed.

A nine-palace box is equipped with three keys. As long as one key is missing, it is impossible to open the box and take out the foundation-building pill inside.

Zhang Leqian did this to dispel the doubts of the Wang family. After all, the Wang family is small. As long as the Zhang family and Zhang Zhixuan cooperate tacitly, the Wang family can slowly become extinct. This approach, as long as it is kept secret from Zhang Zhixuan, can bypass the restrictions of the blood oath.

When there are no more people in the Wang family, this foundation-building pill will fall into the hands of the Zhang family.

However, Zhang Leqian and Zhang Zhixuan are not willing to kill the chicken to get the eggs. They hope to follow Wang Luyuan's example and integrate some desperate casual cultivators and small families into the Zhang family bloodline.

The Zhang family now has two third-level spiritual veins in Tiantai Peak and Lingjing Mountain, and the family has only more than 110 cultivators, which is far from saturation.

The spiritual energy provided by these two third-level spiritual veins can at least allow 200 cultivators to practice. In addition, the family has shops in Heishan, Xihefang and other places, and can also mine Qinggang stone on Heimang Mountain. With such a large stall, more cultivators are needed to earn resources.

From the beginning of Zhang Zhixuan's foundation building, the income was not enough to cover the expenses. Now, almost 20 years have passed, and the Zhang family's income and expenditure have long been balanced, and there are still some spiritual stones left every year.

Spiritual stones cannot be eaten at home. Only by cultivating more and more cultivators can the family prosper, and Zhang Zhixuan and other foundation-building cultivators can be more comfortable.

Giving the key to the Nine Palace Box to Wang Luyuan, Zhang Leqian carefully placed the Nine Palace Box in the family's Sutra Pavilion.

There is a third-level formation outside the family's Sutra Hall, and it is guarded by a third-level Qingguang Bamboo Sea Formation. This is the safest place on Tiantai Peak. Under the thirteen Qingling Yuzhu outside the Sutra Hall, there are thirteen mid-to-late stage Qi training cultivators in seclusion all year round.

With these thirteen people guarding, it is equivalent to having a foundation-building cultivator guarding the Sutra Hall all year round.

Zhang Leqian arranged Wang Luyuan and others on Mount Lushan, and their mortal relatives settled in Lushan County. Wang Luyuan and others were treated equally with the cultivators of the family, and could exchange the various resources controlled by the Zhang family with the family's good deeds.

The Zhang family is now different from the past. There are five kinds of spiritual rice planted in the spiritual field, not only the inferior chalcedony rice, but also the superior pearl rice. These spiritual rice can be exchanged with the family's good deeds.

Moreover, after more than 20 years of experience in brewing, the Zhang family now has seven spiritual wine recipes. In addition to the five from the casual cultivator Yang Wentian, the remaining two are the latest recipes invented by Zhang Zhixuan based on many years of experience.

These increasing types of spiritual wines are gradually accepted and liked by more cultivators, and now there are signs of spreading from Taicheng County.

In recent years, every time they go to Heishan for trading, the Zhang family will take a few jars along the way, preparing to slowly open up the market in Heishan.

Now the Zhang family has the Baibao Pavilion in Heishan. In addition to the bulk material of spiritual rice, other small items no longer need to be sold to Taixu Pavilion for a layer of skin. They can be processed slowly in Baibao Pavilion.

Without the middle layer of Taixu Pavilion, these materials can earn dozens of more spiritual stones every year. Dozens of spiritual stones may seem small, but accumulated over the years, it is also a lot of money.

Zhang Leqian's big call today was like a basin of cold water to extinguish the flames in everyone's hearts.

From Zhang Leqian's mouth, they already knew that although the family had two foundation-building pills, none of them were left for them.

One has been used by Qingchan, and the other will be left to the descendants of the Wang family. Although they didn't say anything, they already had a little dissatisfaction in their hearts.

Looking at the clansmen with different expressions leaving the back mountain, Zhang Zhixuan sighed in his heart.

"As the saying goes, it is easier to share adversity than to share wealth. In order to continue the family, Uncle Nine and Uncle Four never considered themselves and devoted their entire lives to the family.

Less than thirty years have passed, and the family's situation has just started to improve. Everyone has to consider themselves. A pill of foundation-building pill has caused the clan members to turn against each other. This is really the unpredictable world!"

These days, in order to compete for the foundation-building pill, the family's cultivators came to Zhang Zhixuan to plead, tell tales, and complain, which made Zhang Zhixuan feel annoyed.

Taking advantage of the trend of Zhang Zhixuan bringing back the foundation-building pill, a large number of family cultivators exchanged good deeds for the elixir to break through the realm.

Most of these people failed, which wasted their good deeds, but there were still two cultivators who successfully broke through the ninth level of Qi training.

They are all under sixty years old. According to the family rules, the two were appointed as family elders by the clan leader.

Including the two of them, the family has six elders. Although the quality is not as good as when Zhang Zhixuan just came down the mountain, it has at least avoided the embarrassment of having as many foundation-building cultivators and ninth-level Qi training cultivators in the family.

These two are cultivators of the Zhi generation. One is Zhang Zhixuan's second brother Zhang Zhihe. He is fifty-eight years old and a cultivator of the fourth spiritual root. If he is slower and breaks through the ninth level of Qi training after the age of sixty, he will not be able to be a family elder.

The second brother Zhang Zhihe is also one of the few people who survived the battle of Xihefang that year. He had already reached the fourth level of Qi training twenty-eight years ago.

The family situation has gradually improved over the past thirty years, and these low-level cultivators have also benefited from it, and have more resources for cultivation.

After nearly thirty years of cultivation, his cultivation has finally reached the ninth level of Qi training. He is the second Zhi generation cultivator who can support the family gate besides Zhang Zhixuan.

Zhang Zhihe was an apprentice in alchemy in Xihefang. Although he had no talent in alchemy, his alchemy skills had improved to the level of the second-level middle grade after years of practice.

Zhang Zhixuan had basically handed over some unimportant low-level elixirs to Zhang Zhihe for refining.

The other person was Zhang Zhixuan's fourth brother Zhang Zhian. Zhang Zhian was not young anymore. He was fifty-six years old. His spiritual roots were better than Zhang Zhihe's. He was a cultivator with three spiritual roots.

Originally, according to his spiritual roots, he could break through the ninth level of Qi training before the age of fifty. However, the fourth brother did not like to practice when he was young. He became more stable after the age of thirty.

Because he did not practice Taoism diligently in his early years and did not have the skills of cultivating immortals, the family could only arrange for him to take care of the cloud beast.

Unexpectedly, he liked the company of spirit beasts very much and devoted himself to this work with great enthusiasm. During the thirty years he took care of spirit beasts, the family's cloud-stepping beasts had increased by four. Counting the fire dragon colt brought back by Zhang Zhixuan, the number of spirit beasts in the family has reached fifteen.

It is very easy to handle once the scale is formed. Every year when they go to the South Wilderness for trade, the five immortal cultivation families in Taicheng County will rent Zhang's cloud-stepping beasts, and they can earn thirty spirit stones every year. It is these changes that accumulate little by little and blossom in all aspects that allow Zhang's income and expenditure to balance and the family's income channels to gradually expand.
