Chapter 145 Qinggang Stone

Zhang Zhixuan received the letter from the clan leader and immediately rushed back to Lushan. He went straight to Wangyue Pavilion at Tiantai Peak to look for Zhou Wennian, the head of the Zhou family.

A spiritual acupoint in Wangyue Pavilion has been given to the Zhou family for ten years. Now, more than ten small courtyards have been built around Wangyue Pavilion, and monks from the Zhou family live in the courtyards.

The young man who practiced in Wangyue Pavilion had already moved to Lingjing Mountain where there was more spiritual energy.

Zhang Zhixuan found Zhou Wennian and asked directly without courtesy: "Fellow Daoist Zhou, I heard that you are planning to go back to Hongliu Mountain. Are you not living well in Tiantai Peak? There are still people who are looking down on you. Tell me, I will go to him to trouble you." ”

"Senior Zhang was joking. We have lived very well in Lushan in the past ten years. The main reason why we want to go back is because the Qingjiao matter has been resolved. The desolation of Hongliu Mountain is also a legacy left by our ancestors. We can never give up. . And the second uncle's last wish was to go back. He died in Tiantai Peak. His last wish was just to be buried with his clan members, not alone in Lushan.

The elders in the family all want to return to their homeland. Although Lushan is good, it is the spiritual mountain of the Zhang family. We, the Zhou family, are outsiders after all. We will inevitably have conflicts in the future if we live here for a long time. It is better to return to our own spiritual lineage as soon as possible. Slow development. "Although Zhou Wennian said it tactfully, his attitude was very firm.

"Fellow Daoist Zhou, don't be too busy making decisions now, think about it!"

"Senior Zhang, we have been thinking about it for a long time. If we don't leave now, no one will want to leave after they have adapted to the environment of Lushan in a few decades. By then, there will be no Zhou family, only the Zhang family. After all, we are the descendants of our ancestors, and we cannot let our ancestors’ surnames be lost.

You want to integrate us into the Zhang family, which is a good idea, and we are grateful for your care, but in the end we still can't pass this hurdle in our hearts. "

Seeing that Zhou Wenian had made his words very clear, Zhang Zhixuan also put forward his own conditions.

"Since Fellow Daoist Zhou wants to leave, we won't stop him. However, I have a few conditions here, and I ask Fellow Daoist Zhou to agree. First of all, you can't stop any monks or mortals who are married to you and me and are willing to stay."

"Senior Zhang, don't worry, as long as someone is willing to stay, we will not force them to stay."

"Okay, that's good. The second request is that because the monks who stayed behind have practiced your family's earth-shaking technique, you must burn this technique and keep it in our Zhang family. After all, these people have stayed, and their I can’t ignore the road.”

After hearing Zhang Zhixuan's second request, Zhou Wenian suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

The ancestors of the Zhou family had monks in the Golden Core stage. Although their family has declined greatly now, most of the family's cultivation techniques have been lost. Even the techniques of the Foundation Establishment stage are somewhat incomplete.

However, the Zhou family's Earthshaking Technique is a cultivation technique based on earth spirit root, which is exactly the kind of cultivation technique that the Zhang family lacks. Taking advantage of this rare opportunity, Zhang Zhixuan must get it.

Seeing that Zhou Wenian was silent, Zhang Zhixuan continued to persuade: "Fellow Daoist Zhou, your family's skills have been lost a lot. Looking at your current situation, if you cannot cultivate a monk with supernatural spiritual roots, it will be difficult to reverse the situation.

It's better to leave a copy of the skills in the Zhang family in exchange for our protection. We can marry each other from generation to generation, so that the relationship between the two families can be closer.

Fellow Daoist Zhou, think about it carefully, where can you go without the protection of the Zhang family?

You also know the cruelty of the world of immortality. Even in the years when our Zhang family was at its weakest, we helped you Hongliu Mountain. A family like ours that keeps its word is rare in Taicheng County. If you agree to my request, I will give you a fixed source of wealth. "

"I wonder what kind of source of wealth it is?" The Zhou family has been relying on the support of the Zhang family for years. The family's wealth is almost exhausted. When he heard that there was a way to get rich, Zhou Wenian lost his composure and asked.

"Do you still remember the Snake Demon Cave in Black Python Mountain? Although the dragon blood stones were taken away by Ancestor Liang to refine the dragon boat, there is a vein of bluestone deep in the cave.

As long as you agree to my conditions, our two families will jointly mine this vein. Your family will provide manpower, and our family will provide protection and support. We will go to Xihefang to sell every year. This is a steady source of wealth. As long as Black Python Mountain Without hollowing out, the resources of more than one hundred spiritual stones can be exchanged for green granite every year. "

The bait released by Zhang Zhixuan was quite good, and Zhou Wenian immediately began to hesitate. Even if they returned to Hongliu Mountain, it would be difficult to survive if they offended the Zhang family.

Their only support is that the Zhang family has been in Lushan for many years and has always been very shameless. It is a family that keeps its word.

If the Zhou family is severely dealt with this time and its reputation is ruined, once word spreads, the Zhang family will be ostracized and isolated by the local monks in Taicheng County. Even if there are benefits, there will be endless consequences.

Because of this premise, he dared to reject Zhang Zhixuan.

Seeing that Zhang Zhixuan proposed good conditions, Zhou Wenjian did not refuse and agreed after thinking for a moment.

In this way, the two decided on the overall situation. In the end, three of the Zhou family monks who were married to the Zhang family agreed to stay, plus the five Zhou family female cultivators who married into the Zhang family.

After living in Tiantai Peak for ten years, the Zhou family has actually lost a few monks, especially the number of monks in their prime, which has been reduced by almost half.

Even among the mortals living near Lushan County, there are more than 5,000 people who have adapted to the life in Lushan County and are unwilling to move again.

Fortunately, in the past ten years, due to the protection of the Zhang family, the population of the Zhou family has increased by more than 3,000, and the number of cultivators with spiritual roots has increased by four, which has made up for half of their family's blood loss.

It is no wonder that Zhou Wennian wants to leave. On Tiantai Peak, the benefits of the Zhang family and the Zhou family are almost the same.

If they live in Lushan for another 30 years, when their generation grows old, the Zhou family will be completely merged into the Zhang family.

These Zhou family members who are equivalent to marrying into the Zhang family, Zhang Zhixuan did not ask them to change their nature, and even generously let their descendants also have the surname Zhou.

Their treatment and benefits are almost no different from those of the Zhang family's direct line cultivators.

Zhang Zhixuan has prepared to be more open in the management of the family and to accommodate fresh blood from outsiders.

Soon, with the help of the Zhang family, Zhou Wennian brought the Zhou family and migrated for more than ten days to Hongliu Mountain.

Although they have been away for ten years, most of their houses in Hongliu Town have not collapsed. After a period of repair, they settled down again.

Zhang Zhixuan also sent his seventeenth uncle Zhang Mengjian to bring several Zhang family monks to stay in Black Python Mountain.

Without the Jiao Blood Stone, there would be no danger on Black Python Mountain because there was no thing to attract monsters.

Despite this, because there was a Qinggang stone vein on the mountain, Zhang Mengjian and others also arranged a second-level upper-grade thick earth formation after arriving at Black Python Mountain, and began to scout the Black Python Mountain, preparing to mine this vein as soon as possible.

Soon, the Zhou family sent a large number of mortals into Black Python Mountain, and began to mine the vein with the help of the monks, and mined a large amount of Qinggang stone.

The Zhang family also used the cloud-stepping beast pack team to continuously send these ores to the shops in Xihe Market, and exchanged them for various cultivation resources.

In order to avoid the suspicion of the Zhou family, every time he went to the market, Zhang Zhixuan stipulated that the two monks should act together to prevent someone from making trouble and affecting the relationship between the two monks.

In this way, the Qinggang stone from the Black Python Mountain became a specialty of the Zhang family. This inconspicuous stone could be sold for more than one hundred spirit stones every year. Apart from investing a little transportation capacity and providing a few monks for protection, the Zhang family's cultivators almost just sat there and collected money.
