Chapter 999: First courtesy, then force

After making up their minds, Zhang Zhixuan and Qingchan immediately informed Liu Lingjun, and then took up the escape light and flew to Yanlai Peak.

After entering Yanlai Peak, Zhang Zhixuan suddenly felt that things were different and people were different.

Although Yanlai Peak is very close to Lingjing Mountain, Zhang Zhixuan doesn't like to move around. The last time he went to Yanlai Peak was eight hundred years ago.

That year, the East Pole Locust Rebellion broke out in Heishan. The five major families in Taicheng County worked together to resist the East Pole Locust army at Yanlai Peak.

The monks who participated in that battle ranged from the Zifu monk Han Wangpeng to the Wu family who were in the Qi training period. Eight hundred years have passed, and now only Zhang Zhixuan survives.

Those companions who fought side by side could not stop the passage of time and turned into a handful of loess. Whether they were Zifu monks or Qi practitioners, they would all be in vain.

Even if you become a soul, if you can't form a Taoist fruit, break through the world and ascend, a lifetime of practice will be of no use.

"Perhaps Qingchan is right. You should not be timid when you encounter an opportunity. You should fight for it decisively. If Liang Taixu had not been trapped in Black Mountain, he would have had a good chance of cultivating to a high level. Now that he has embarked on the path of cultivating immortals, life and death should be ignored. "

Zhang Zhixuan sighed secretly and put back his scattered thoughts. Seeing every plant and tree in Yanlai Peak, he suddenly gained a little more confidence.

In the past eight hundred years, relying on the prosperity of the Ziyang Sect, the Wu family in Yanlaifeng has also developed very smoothly.

Several major families in Taicheng County have a good relationship, and they are all married to each other.

As Zhang Zhixuan and Han Yan became enlightened one after another, relying on the big tree of the Zhang family, the development of the five major families has been going smoothly in the past few hundred years.

In addition to the Zhang family in Tiantai Peak, the Wu family in Yanlai Peak has also used this stock tradition to expand five times in size over the past few hundred years. Now there are more than 2,000 clan members with spiritual roots, and there are more than 40 foundation-building monks. There were five monks in the mansion, including a monk from the Wu family who refined the golden elixir and extended his tentacles to the upper levels of the sect.

Looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar scenery, a feeling of loneliness suddenly arose in Zhang Zhixuan's heart.

"Old people always like to reminisce about the past. Calculating my age, I am already over 800 years old. It seems that my mentality is old after all."

Zhang Zhixuan suppressed the thoughts in his heart and released his spiritual consciousness to look for Qianji Sanren.

His consciousness is extremely powerful, capable of reaching thousands of miles away, surpassing the ninth level of the Nascent Soul.

With the strength of Zhang Zhixuan's spiritual consciousness, it would be possible to search every inch of Yanlai Peak once it was released, but surprisingly, Qianji Sanren was not found.

"Is this person's breath-holding technique really good?"

Zhang Zhixuan was secretly frightened, and suddenly became eager to win. His consciousness continued to spread out, turning into layers of white misty wind.

Streams of air surged in all directions with Zhang Zhixuan as the center, and suddenly there was an unusually sharp and harsh sound from up and down Yanlai Peak.

A dazzling white light suddenly flashed, and violent winds passed through both sides of the shield, forming a vortex, and the traces of Qianji Sanren immediately appeared.

After Zhang Zhixuan chose to release his spiritual consciousness, he immediately alarmed the Yan Laifeng Wu family.

In an instant, many people were struck by this spiritual consciousness, staggering and falling down. Some people with shallow foundations fell into a coma all of a sudden.

Fortunately, Zhang Zhixuan did not mean to hurt anyone, and his spiritual consciousness control was extremely good. When he encountered low-level monks, he almost always stopped at the touch of a button, and he would not really hurt innocent people or hurt the foundation of low-level monks.

The Wu family hung out in the Ziyang Sect, so they had naturally seen the portrait of the ancestor, and Zhang Zhixuan did not hide his identity. Many people recognized the identity of the ancestor at a glance.

A ray of light fell quickly, and when he saw Zhang Zhixuan, he immediately fell to the ground.

"Junior Wu Yongde, pays homage to the patriarch."

Wu Yongde is a descendant of Wu Xianlong and has some connection with Zhang Zhixuan.

Although Zhang Zhixuan would take care of the descendants of these disciples, he would not care too much about them.

Once the two parties get along for a long time, feelings will inevitably develop. By then, these people will not be able to keep up with Zhang Zhixuan's spiritual practice, and they will only become more sad when they break up the secular relationship.

The higher the monk's cultivation level, the further away from the mortal world. After reaching Yuanshen, there is almost no contact with low-level monks. In addition to the fact that the energy fluctuations emitted by oneself are too powerful, this is also partly due to this reason.

"I'm going to lend you your treasure land to welcome a Taoist brother today. You don't need to take any more care of this matter. Just pretend that nothing happened."

Zhang Zhixuan waved his hand to ask this person to leave, and looked at Qianji Sanren with a smile.

"Zhang Daoyou's spiritual consciousness is indeed very good, but his method of attacking with his spiritual consciousness is a bit clumsy, and he relies almost entirely on brute force to win."

In the test just now, Zhang Zhixuan still had the upper hand. Qianji Sanren was not polite and put away his breath-containing skills. He sat comfortably in a corner pavilion, grabbing a white-tailed reed fish and tasting it carefully while enjoying the beautiful scenery of Yanlai Peak in a leisurely manner.

Seeing that Zhang Zhixuan did not answer, Qianji Sanren nodded and said: "It seems that Fellow Daoist Zhang has made a decision."

"Brother Daoist's guess is good. When will Fellow Daoist Wang prepare to take action?"

"It takes nine top-level Nascent Souls to open the Immortal Mansion. Counting Daoyou Zhang and his wife, there are still two less. I am going to return to Zhongchizhou to explore Lei Powang's tone first."

Lei Powan comes from the Five Thunder Sect and is also a famous top Nascent Soul.

Tens of thousands of years ago, Wu Lei Sect was also a very powerful Yuanshen sect, but it has gone downhill in the past tens of thousands of years, and there has never been a real Yuanshen in charge. The strength of this sect is similar to that of Yanghuo Palace. There are fourteen Yuan Ying Daoist people inside. Lei Powan is the great elder of this sect and has developed several thunder-attribute supernatural powers. The most important thing is that this person is the same as Liang Jingchong, so he must have Yuan Ying. Divine magic weapon for body protection.

"Besides Lei Powang, who else is Wang Daoyou planning to invite?"

Qianji Sanren said: "This person has had an acquaintance with Fellow Daoist Zhang, and he is also from Demon Refining City. This person is Xiao Yunhe, the ancestor of the Xiao family, and like Mrs. Zhang, he is a water spirit root monk. In fact, I talked with Fellow Daoist Xiao in the early years. As long as Daoyou Zhang and his wife are willing to join, Fellow Daoist Xiao is willing to act together. If the two fellow Daoists do not participate, Fellow Daoist Xiao has no confidence. It seems that Patriarch Xiao admires the magical powers of Daoyou Zhang and his wife."

The Xiao family is a vassal of the Wuwei Sect, a long-established family, and has a deep relationship with the Wuwei Sect.

Ancestor Taili of the Wuwei Sect was full of praise for Zhang Zhixuan and his wife. Xiao Yunhe must have heard about this.

In addition, Xiao Yunhe once fought against the demon cultivator Gao Zongwang. In that battle, he was almost defeated, and his body was almost destroyed by Gao Zongwang. Zhang Zhixuan and Qing Chan defeated Gao Zongwang on Qilin Island. The result of this battle made Xiao Yunhe admire their magical powers very much.

Moreover, Zhang Zhixuan and his wife have settled in Demon Refining City for decades, and Xiao Yunhe also knows their character and knows that Zhang Zhixuan is not a sinister and cunning person, and his safety is guaranteed when working with such a person with an upright personality.

There was only one Yuan Shen monk in the ancestor of the Xiao family. Unfortunately, he died in the battle to suppress the demon in ancient times. Tens of thousands of years have passed, and the heritage left by the Yuan Shen ancestor to them has probably been exhausted long ago.

According to the rumors Zhang Zhixuan heard in Demon Refining City, the ancestors of the Xiao family originally passed down a spiritual weapon, but unfortunately it disappeared completely with an elder of the Xiao family six thousand years ago.

Although Xiao Yunhe is a Tianlinggen cultivator and has more powerful magic than ordinary Yuanying, but there is no Yuanshen treasure. Relatively speaking, among the nine top Yuanyings, she and Duan Hongling, the two female cultivators, are the two with the weakest combat power.

Zhang Zhixuan glanced at Qianji Sanren and felt that he was too calculating. None of the eight top Nascent Souls invited were from the Yuanshen Sect, and several of them were obviously not as powerful as Qianji Sanren. This plan was probably to compete for the right to speak, so as not to turn against the guest and cause his words to be unheard.

The reason why this person went through so much trouble to invite Zhang Zhixuan and his wife was probably because he needed Qing Chan's final say.

"If Lei Powang is unwilling to participate, does Wang Daoyou have anyone to choose from?"

"It would be best if Lei Powan is willing to participate. If he is not willing, he can only recruit one of my nephews to join in. However, his cultivation level is relatively low, only the eighth level of Nascent Soul."

After hearing this, Zhang Zhixuan suddenly realized: "Fellow Taoist Wang actually has a teacher?"

Qianji Sanren laughed and said, "Why does Brother Daoist Zhang ask questions knowingly? How could Mrs. Zhang not recognize the escape method I used? I don't want to deceive my companions. Pindao is indeed from the Xiaoyao Sect."

"Fellow Daoist Wang's senior brother Zhang Xianyun is also a top-notch Nascent Soul. Why do you choose to stay far away and not allow this person to participate in the operation?"

Qianji Sanren shook his head and smiled bitterly: "More than a hundred years ago, several of my fellow disciples and I prepared to open the Immortal Mansion. Unfortunately, soon after entering the Sea of ​​Forgetfulness, we alerted the Demon Dao masters. Although we were lucky enough to escape from the hands of the Demon Dao Yuanshen, our senior brothers were also injured. At the end of the day, his life span was already insufficient, and now it is even worse. He passed away more than ten years ago. If Senior Brother Zhang was still here, I would be embarrassed to invite Mrs. Zhang."

"Before going to Wangyouhai, our husband and wife are planning to go to Zhongchizhou to look for Yang Xuanzhen. How can we contact him then?"

"It will take another thirteen years to open the Immortal Mansion. After thirteen years, we will go directly to Bihaiyuan to join us."

Bihaiyuan is located in the far west of Zhongchizhou. After passing Bihaiyuan, you will enter the Wangyouhai Demonic Cultivation Base Camp.

Zhang Zhixuan chatted with Qianji Sanren for a while. After eating the white-tailed reed fish, the person said a few polite words and quickly left Yan Laifeng.

In less than a moment, Qianji Sanren had disappeared.

Zhang Zhixuan declined the Wu family's attempts to stay and immediately returned to Lingjing Mountain. After meeting Liu Lingjun, he teleported to Qingli Sea that night. Then he entered Xiyao Prefecture through the Qingli Sea teleportation array, and then teleported from Xiyao Prefecture to Zhongchi Prefecture.

After defeating Wu Daozhen, the two of them have become the most popular Yuanying in the Yuanyang world.

After the last battle in Moyun Cave, the story spread by the monks from Nanya Prefecture spread throughout the Yuanyang Realm sects.

Although the founder of Ten Thousand Tribulations only lost one incarnation, after killing the demon soul, the reputation of the nine Yuanyings who participated in the battle in Nanya Prefecture spread to almost every sect in Qinglihai and Xiyao Prefecture. Qingchan, who played a key role, is even known as the No. 1 Nascent Soul Master in the Yuanyang Realm.

With such a big name, the Baiyun Sect and Zixiao Sect who controlled the teleportation array naturally did not dare to neglect and did not care about losing money. They activated the teleportation array almost immediately.

There were only about ten people who took the teleportation array, which saved them from waiting in line for many years, and they were able to take advantage of Zhang Zhixuan and his wife. Save a few years of practice.

The most powerful Nascent Souls in the world of immortality have some privileges in various aspects. The sect that controls the teleportation array would rather pay some spiritual stones in exchange for opening the door for convenience.

If these two sects had not been so capable, they would not have been able to control the intercontinental teleportation formation.

After all, the strength of the two sects is not strong. The Baiyun Sect only has seven Nascent Soul cultivators, and the Zixiao Sect has only ten members.

Without wasting time in queuing and waiting for the teleportation array to be opened, the three of them spent a year on the road before arriving near Demon Refining City.

Zhang Zhixuan had violated the rules of the Demon Refining City, so he would not enter the Demon Refining City, so as not to make the Wuwei Sect look bad and offend this giant sect.

Qingchan was his wife, so she was embarrassed to enter the city. It was Liu Lingjun who entered the Demon Refining City.

The three of them had no friendship with the cultivators of the Demon Subduing Sect. Although Zhang Zhixuan suspected that there were high-level cultivators in the Demon Subduing Sect who helped Yang Xuanzhen, the sect had Yuanshen cultivators, and the Ziyang Sect would not easily offend the high-level of the sect.

When going to Huaishanfang, Zhang Zhixuan decided to use courtesy before force, and the client went to the Demon Subduing Sect to find out the news first.

Ziyang Sect had been operating in the Demon Refining City for more than a hundred years, so it naturally had some friendship with the Yuanying here. The most suitable person to handle this matter was Jin Yan Zhenren of the Wenxian Tower.

In the past hundred years, Ziyang Sect and Jin Yan Zhenren had cooperated very happily.

Not only did Zhang Zhixuan have a great favor to him, but the two sides could also earn a lot of profits by operating the Wenxian Tower together.

Although spiritual stones and the like are no longer of much use to Jin Yan Zhenren, he can occasionally harvest some sixth-level spiritual objects with the good channel of Wenxianlou.

The three guests of Wenxianlou are all casual cultivators and do not have territories to operate. This industry is very important to them. They are all grateful to Zhang Zhixuan and Qingchan.

After entering the Demon Refining City, Liu Lingjun came by chance, and Jin Yan Zhenren did not enter the retreat.

Jin Yan Zhenren has turned a calamity and cultivated to the seventh level of the Nascent Soul. Although his life span is about a thousand years, he has been stuck at the seventh level of the Nascent Soul for four hundred years, and his spirit is exhausted. According to his current progress, I am afraid there is no hope of breaking through the bottleneck of the Yuanshen.

In recent years, Jin Yan Zhenren has completely given up the idea of ​​breaking through the Yuanshen. Most of his time is spent on refining magic tools, preparing to exchange some high-level spiritual objects for his son Chu Linfang.

It's a pity that Chu Linfang is also a Dharmakaya Yuanshen. Unless he has great luck, it is almost impossible to refine the Yuanshen. Even if he had cultivated the Lotus Dharmakaya, the progress of cultivation was very slow, and the speed of refining spiritual energy was not as fast as that of the five spiritual roots. If a Lotus Dharmakaya cultivator wanted to go further, the resources consumed would be far more than that of an ordinary Nascent Soul.

Seeing the token left by Zhang Zhixuan, Jin Yan Zhenren did not refuse, but he did not have full confidence.

"The Demon-Subduing Sect now has the Yuanshen Patriarch in charge. The sect's skills are very domineering. The cultivators who can practice the Demon-Subduing Skills are all unruly in character. I don't have a deep friendship with the Nascent Soul cultivators of his family, so I am afraid I may not be sure that I can convince the sect's Nascent Soul."

"Fellow Daoist Jin Yan has a wide range of friends. You only need to pass on this matter. You don't need to worry about the rest."
