Immortal Path Evergreen
Chapter 99 Maple Leaf Square
Having been traveling frequently over the years, Zhang Zhixuan has collected all the maps near Qingxuan Sect. With the help of the map, although it was his first time to visit the market in Longjiang County, he did not spend much time to find the market run by the eight major families in Longjiang County.
This market is located next to Maple Leaf Mountain, and the local cultivators named it Maple Leaf Square.
Because there are more cultivators in Longjiang County, the scale of this market is also larger than Xihe Square.
A few years ago, the Wu family lost Xihe Square, and this news has spread throughout the three southeastern counties. Although the main factor is that the Hu family has Hu Peiyu as a big backer in Qingxuan Sect, without Wei Mazi and the other two people breaking through Xihe Square, the Hu family would not have an excuse to seize control of Xihe Square.
In order to avoid such accidents, the guards of Maple Leaf Square have been tighter in recent years. Once a strange foundation-building cultivator appears, the guards in the market will be particularly vigilant, and sometimes even drive them away in advance.
Zhang Zhixuan brought Qingchan to Maple Leaf Square. Since it was his first time here, in order to avoid suspicion from others, he first sent a communication talisman to convey his intentions.
In less than a moment, white mist emerged from the market and soon enveloped the entire market.
The monks in Maple Leaf Square received the communication talisman and actually activated the defense formation, not giving others any loopholes.
After the formation was activated to protect the market, a middle-aged Taoist came out with several monks.
The middle-aged monk had already established the third level of foundation, and the several Qi training monks behind him had also reached a very extraordinary level of cultivation, all of whom were Qi training ninth level monks.
The middle-aged Taoist lightly swept over Zhang Zhixuan with his spiritual sense, and his face suddenly changed.
He had been building the foundation for more than 20 years, and now he was only at the third level of foundation. Zhang Zhixuan looked only in his twenties, but the spiritual power in his body was restrained, which clearly showed that he had been building the foundation for a long time and could skillfully control the mana in his body.
Seeing that Zhang Zhixuan was young but his cultivation was not inferior to his own, the middle-aged cultivator showed some kindness on his face and said, "You look unfamiliar, you should not be a cultivator from Longjiang. I wonder what you are doing in Maple Leaf Square?
You have been building your foundation for many years, and you should know that our Maple Leaf Square does not do business with cultivators in the foundation building period. If you want to buy something, you should go to the nearest Qingyang Market to have a look."
Because there are fewer cultivators in the foundation building period, some small markets often find it difficult to sell spiritual objects above the third level, so these small markets will no longer do business with cultivators in the foundation building period for safety.
This is the case with Xihe Square in Taicheng County and Maple Leaf Square in Longjiang County.
In the vicinity of the entire Qingxuan Sect, cultivators in the foundation building period can only go to the seven cultivator towns on the edge of the Southern Wilderness to buy the resources they need. Loose cultivators like to go to Heishan, and cultivators from foundation building families often go to Jiaohe Square, the old nest they control.
Like Heishanfang, Jiaohefang was established relatively recently. Both of these markets are located on the edge of Qingxuan Sect, and both have the support of Qingxuan Sect.
The reason why Qingxuan Sect supports the two markets to compete for a certain amount of business is mainly to establish a buffer zone with monsters, attract the power of family cultivators and independent cultivators, and share some of the pressure of monsters in the southern wilderness for them.
Zhang Chuyun, the ancestor of the Zhang family, was the first cultivator to build Jiaohefang. Under the appointment of Qingxuan Sect, he managed Jiaohefang for more than a hundred years.
After he passed away, the control of this market was transferred from the Zhang family to the Wu family. Wu Siheng of the Wu family spent most of his time in Jiaohefang instead of Qingxuan Sect. With two consecutive family cultivators in Jiaohefang, it has become the base camp of family cultivators.
Compared with Liang Laozu on Heishan, the family cultivators of Jiaohe do not have so much autonomy. Most of the income of Jiaohefang has to be handed over to Qingxuan Sect. Such a heavy burden has caused some complaints from the dozen families below.
Since Zhang Zhixuan started practicing, he has been to Heishan, where there are many independent cultivators, twice. However, he has not been to Jiaohefang, where the immortal cultivation families gather.
Even the clan leader Zhang Leqian rarely goes to Jiaohefang.
When he was young, the Chuyun Patriarch had just passed away, and the family still had three foundation-building cultivators, which was the last afterglow of the family.
Unfortunately, after leaving Chuyun Patriarch, the family no longer had a stable foundation-building pill, and most of the few foundation-building cultivators were people of the same generation as Chuyun Patriarch, and they did not have much lifespan.
In just over a hundred years, Zhang Leqian was the only one in the foundation-building stage in the family, and the family completely declined.
In Jiaohefang, the city built by Chuyun Patriarch, Zhang Leqian felt a little uncomfortable every time he went there, always feeling that the family would decline in his hands.
Because of this knot in his heart, even if he ran a long way, he would go to Heishan, where independent cultivators gathered.
Zhang Zhixuan bowed and replied, "I am Zhang Zhixuan, from the Zhang family in Lushan, Taicheng County. I came to your place this time just to buy some spiritual rice."
The middle-aged cultivator laughed after hearing Zhang Zhixuan's background and said, "So you are the descendant of Chuyun Patriarch. We are not outsiders. I am Li Jinnian, one of my uncles was a disciple of Chuyun Patriarch.
More than a hundred years ago, the relationship between our two families was still very close. Later, Chuyun Patriarch passed away, and my uncle also passed away, so the exchanges between the two families became more distant.
Daoyou are from Taicheng County, and your family also has spiritual fields. Do you still lack spiritual rice?
I see that Daoyou only have two people, and no carriages and horses. Even if you buy spiritual rice, how can you transport it back?"
Zhang Zhixuan said helplessly: "Daoyou have misunderstood. I am not buying spiritual rice for the family. My sister and I are going to Qingxuan Sect. We have no spiritual rice to eat on the way. In order to avoid hunger, we have to come to you to replenish some."
Middle-aged cultivator Li Jinnian laughed and said: "Daoyou is too careless. How can you go far without taking the Qigong Pill?
This trip to Qingxuan Sect, Daoyou and your sister will take at least two months. The two of you must carry at least 200 kilograms of spiritual rice. It is better to buy a bottle of Qigong Pill in the market, which will be more convenient on the road."
Zhang Zhixuan was about to agree, but saw Qingchan shook his head reluctantly, and he was unwilling to eat Qigong Pill.
The little girl was easy to talk to when she was young. It was not so troublesome when they went to Heishan together before. This time she was reluctant to go to Qingxuan Sect, and there were more trivial things along the way.
Seeing Qingchan's unwilling face, Zhang Zhixuan could only helplessly say: "We brothers and sisters still like spiritual rice, not the fasting pills."
Li Jinnian glanced at Qingchan and said jokingly: "Daoyou loves your sister too much.
However, due to the rules here, Daoyou will not be allowed to enter the market. To express our apology as a cultivator of Longjiang County, we will give you 200 kilograms of spiritual rice for free, just as a friend."
Two hundred kilograms of spiritual rice is only twelve spiritual stones, and Zhang Zhixuan naturally does not want to take such a small advantage.
He carried the spiritual rice on his shoulders, then threw twelve spiritual stones to Li Jinnian, and then said hello, and the two left Maple Leaf Square.
After walking for more than 20 days, just when the two were about to leave Longjiang County.
One evening, just when the two were about to rest, a thunder suddenly rang in their ears.
