Chapter 111 Return without Success

After bidding farewell to the clan leader, Zhang Zhixuan packed up a little, said something to Qingchan, and hurriedly left Lushan and flew towards Heishan.

After walking for more than a month, he finally entered the territory of Heishan. Although he had been to Heishan many times, Zhang Zhixuan still had no way to find the recipe for the third-level elixir.

Zhang Zhixuan was unwilling to trouble Aunt Hanyan in Qingxuan Sect. Even if there was a third-level recipe in the hands of the cultivators of Jiaohefang family, it was the most precious inheritance of the family and could not be passed on.

Only a free cultivator with no worries could sell such precious resources.

Among the shops in Heishan, Taixu Pavilion must have a third-level recipe, but Zhang Zhixuan could not humiliate himself.

How could Liang Hanyang in Taixu Pavilion sell the most important resource in his hand to Zhang Zhixuan? Once Zhang Zhixuan refined a third-level elixir, he might be a competitor of Taixu Pavilion.

There were only a few dozen foundation-building cultivators in the entire Heishan. With such a small scale, the number of third-level elixirs sold each year was very small. Although the price of the third-level elixir is higher, the scale is far less than that of the second-level elixir.

However, the third-level elixir in Taixu Pavilion is a unique business, representing the personal connections of the foundation-building cultivators in Black Mountain.

Taixu Pavilion does this unique business, and the foundation-building cultivators in the entire Black Mountain have to give face to Taixu Pavilion. Even after the departure of Liang Laozu, as long as they can control the third-level elixir, the Liang family will still be the guests of the Black Mountain casual cultivators.

After Zhang Zhixuan came to Black Mountain, he first rented a cave house. He planned to live there for one or two years to see if there was a chance to find out the news of the third-level elixir formula.

After settling down, he began to frequently appear at the exchange meetings of low-level cultivators, entrusting one casual cultivator after another to find out the news for him, to see who had the third-level elixir formula for sale.

This news soon spread throughout Black Mountain, and even the nearby foundation-building cultivators heard the news released by Zhang Zhixuan and laughed at his wild imagination.

Soon, this news alarmed Taixu Pavilion.

Although the Liang Patriarch did not show up, Liang Hanyang of Taixu Pavilion still wrote a letter. Although the letter was more euphemistic, it still clearly told Zhang Zhixuan not to waste his efforts and bring disgrace upon himself.

Taixu Pavilion wanted to monopolize the resources of the third-level elixir in Black Mountain. Unless he signed a blood oath and could only make elixirs for Taixu Pavilion for his whole life, he should not dream of obtaining the third-level elixir recipe in Black Mountain.

Although it was not clearly stated in the letter, Zhang Zhixuan still saw the threat of Liang Hanyang.

Monopolizing the third-level elixir near Black Mountain was a strategic decision of Taixu Pavilion. Anyone who dared to stand in the way would face the anger and war of Taixu Pavilion.

Compared with Taixu Pavilion, the Zhang family in Lushan was undoubtedly weak.

If it was when the Chuyun Patriarch was alive, Zhang Zhixuan might not be afraid of the threat of Taixu Pavilion.

But the current situation of the Zhang family really cannot conflict with Taixu Pavilion.

Zhang Zhixuan is undoubtedly a man who knows the times. As soon as Liang Hanyang's letter came, he sensed the threat.

Although Liang Hanyang didn't want to do it for the time being, so as not to tarnish the reputation of Taixu Pavilion, when Zhang Zhixuan left Black Mountain, he felt a gloomy feeling. Although he knew that the strong prey on the weak in the world of cultivating immortals.

But today, Liang Hanyang taught him a lesson, which still made him feel very uncomfortable.

But there was no way to be inferior to others, Zhang Zhixuan could only leave Black Mountain as soon as possible.

If he didn't know what was good for him, I'm afraid countless secret means would come, and even his family would be implicated.

Even if Liang Laozu didn't take action, several disciples were masters of the ninth level of foundation building. Zhang Zhixuan was far from being an opponent of such a cultivator at the peak of foundation building.

After Zhang Zhixuan went down the mountain, he was cautious all the way, ready to flee and fight at any time. He changed direction aimlessly and walked around in the southern wilderness.

But it is possible that the news that the Zhang family killed Lu Yian eight years ago made Liang Hanyang afraid, so seeing Zhang Zhixuan leave tactfully, Liang Hanyang did not make trouble and arrange for people to take action.

After walking for five or six days, Zhang Zhixuan was relieved to see that no one was following him. Then he took out his flying sword and headed straight for Lushan.

The setbacks on the Black Mountain this time have made him understand that, except for unknown opportunities. It is impossible for him to obtain the third-level pill formula from the hands of a big force, unless he is willing to pay a heavy price and give up his freedom to make pills for others for a lifetime.

This kind of alchemist is equivalent to a slave of alchemy. Zhang Zhixuan would not agree to such a condition without dignity even if he died.

Along the way, Zhang Zhixuan flew north with a heavy heart, and suddenly a big net covered Zhang Zhixuan's head.

In an instant, Zhang Zhixuan smelled a sweet and fishy smell, and his mind suddenly felt drowsy.

In an instant, Zhang Zhixuan realized that the net might be poisonous. He immediately released the Samadhi True Fire and took a second-level superior detoxification pill.

The Samadhi True Fire gathered into a ball and hit the big net fiercely. This kind of fire attribute spell is the nemesis of the big net, and immediately burned a huge gap.

Zhang Zhixuan's flying sword turned and he got out of the gap in the big net.

He looked carefully and found that there was a huge spider eight feet long hidden underground.

Zhang Zhixuan went through it in his mind and carefully recalled the contents of the spiritual insect list. He found that this thing was the poisonous fire spider, a demon insect unique to the Southern Wilderness.

This poisonous fire spider is an adult and is considered a third-level medium-quality spiritual insect.

Zhang Zhixuan also felt a little tricky when he encountered this thing.

The poisonous fire spider is a natural ambush expert. Their color is almost exactly the same as the soil. Even the spiritual consciousness of the foundation-building cultivators is difficult to detect this demon beast.

This kind of monster, relying on the ability of assassination, has a record of hunting down late-stage foundation-building cultivators.

Fortunately, Zhang Zhixuan encountered the poisonous fire spider while flying on a sword, so he had a certain amount of reaction time. If he fell to the ground and was ambushed by the monster insect, he would probably be in danger.

After breaking through the web of the poisonous fire spider, Zhang Zhixuan turned his magic power and immediately sacrificed two third-level flying swords to slash at the poisonous fire spider.

When the clan leader killed Lu Yian, he seized his third-level flying sword. Later, the clan leader gave this third-level flying sword to Zhang Zhixuan. After eight years of refining, these two flying swords had already been practiced by Zhang Zhixuan.

In the blink of an eye, the two flying swords crossed a distance of dozens of feet and slashed towards the poisonous fire spider.

The poisonous fire spider screamed, and a black flame spurted out of its mouth, spraying at the two flying swords.

Zhang Zhixuan knew that the poisonous fire spider's life poison flame was very insidious and could corrode the flying sword in the hands of the cultivator.

Once hit by the poisonous flames of the poisonous fire spider, the spiritual power of the two flying swords would be greatly damaged.

So he immediately controlled the flying sword and gently turned a corner to avoid the poisonous flames.
