Chapter 160 Cleaning up the Dark River

Killing the poisonous dragon also eliminated a hidden danger for the Zhang family.

This place is only a few hundred miles away from Tiantai Peak. Once the poisonous dragon evolves into a fourth-level monster, it will attack the nearest Zhang family on the first day it comes out.

Fortunately, there was a heavy rain during this period, and the raging flood washed away the mountain, submerged the Ten Thousand Snake Cave, and rushed a large number of poisonous snakes to Lushan County.

Dozens of people were killed and injured, which attracted the attention of the Zhang family. They traced all the way here and found the heart of the family.

Zhang Zhixuan and the other two successfully hunted the poisonous dragon, and then began to deal with the poison pool under the waterfall.

If this poison pool is not dealt with, in this environment, perhaps after a hundred years, the large number of poisonous snakes in the pool may evolve into a poisonous dragon again. If it is allowed to become a climate at that time, it will probably still be very troublesome.

Although the importance of the poisonous pool to the cultivators who practice poisonous and physical training spells is more important than the third-level spiritual vein. However, the Zhang family's family-inherited skills do not have such magic. For the Zhang family, this uncontrolled resource is a hidden danger, which is far less beneficial than draining the venom in the poison pool and adding a spiritual vein.

After all, cultivating a second-level upper-grade spiritual vein also requires 3,000 spiritual stones, which is enough for more than a dozen Qi training period cultivators to practice.

To solve this poison pool, the most troublesome thing is to change the direction of the dark river, which requires the family's cultivators to open up a river channel underground, block the waterfall, and move the water flow in the dark river elsewhere.

Then go to Qingxuan Sect to borrow the Qingni bottle from Hanyan, use the Qingni bottle to absorb all the venom in the poison pool, and then kill all kinds of poisonous snakes in the poison pool.

There is no doubt that this is a big project. Even if all the cultivators of the family are mobilized, it may take one or two years.

But for the safety of the family, Zhang Leqian issued a tough call, not only mobilizing the family's cultivators, but also drawing a large number of people from nearby vassal families.

In order to open the river, the Zhang family recruited hundreds of monks. In addition to those who really couldn't leave, even the fifth and third uncles who were more than a hundred years old came. They used the powerful power of the monks to cut off huge rocks with flying swords, opened up a new river along the dark river, and diverted the living water to other places.

In order to make the project smoother, Zhang Zhixuan also mobilized thousands of mortals to help transport the gravel underground.

In order to allow these mortals to eat in the wilderness, under the strict order of Zhang Zhixuan, more than 100,000 mortals controlled by the entire Lushan County were mobilized to complete this huge project.

In this way, countless manpower and material resources were consumed, and it lasted for more than a year before they successfully opened a new river underground to divert the river water and then blocked the waterfall.

During this period of time, in order to make the mortals here live better.

Under Zhang Zhixuan's plan, the Zhang family even built a large town beside the diverted river outside the hill, and also opened up a large amount of farmland in the nearby valleys and plains.

After dealing with the trouble in the poison pool, because there is a spiritual vein under the poison pool, Zhang Zhixuan has prepared to let the family monks stay here to monitor the abnormalities in the dark river at any time.

With the protection of the monks, the survival of mortals is guaranteed. With the expansion of farmland, the carrying capacity of the family population will be greater. The population of the mortal world is increasing, and there are more and more monks with spiritual roots.

After opening a new river channel, Zhang Zhixuan asked Qingchan to return to Tiantai Peak to guard it, and the clan leader temporarily stayed in the Ten Thousand Snake Cave. He returned to Tiantai Peak to bring the poisonous dragon materials and immediately flew to Qingxuan Sect.

It took more than ten days for Zhang Zhixuan to come to Qingxuan Sect. He first went to the Spiritual Medicine Garden to find Hanyan, borrowed her third-level middle-grade magic weapon Qingni Bottle, and then went directly to Qingyang Market to find Chen Hongyuan. When he came to Chen Hongyuan's shop, Zhang Zhixuan found that it was his nephew Zhang Sidao who was watching the shop.

"Where is your master?"

"Uncle Fourteen, when did you come to the sect? My master went to the general affairs hall of the sect. Recently, there is a weapon refining task in the sect."

"When will your master be able to come back?"

"It has been almost a month since he left. Generally, this kind of sect task takes forty-five days. If Uncle Fourteen is not in a hurry, you can stay here for a few days now."

"How do you feel about your time in Qingxuan Sect? Can you get used to it?"

"It feels okay. I am an inner disciple and have more freedom in the sect. Now I follow my master to learn weapon refining. By the way, I can also get some good deeds by watching the shop for my master. In a few years, when my weapon refining level is improved, I can refine weapons for the general affairs hall of the sect. It will be easier to earn good deeds at that time." Zhang Sidao smiled with a trace of longing on his face.

Hearing that Zhang Sidao could adapt to the environment of Qingxuan Sect, Zhang Zhixuan was relieved, but he still gave a few extra instructions.

"You can't give up your cultivation. Good deeds are important, but for a cultivator, the most important thing is cultivation. You should be like your aunt Han Yan. When she was your age, she had already reached the ninth level of Qi training.

I came to Qingxuan Sect in a hurry this time, and I didn't bring anything with me. Here are seven Golden Bud Pills and two Ghost Return Pills. They are all the spiritual pills I ate back then. I will give them all to you this time.

But although the spiritual pills are good, you can't take too many. The accumulation of pill poison is very bad for foundation building. You can only take one Golden Bud Pill every six months, and the Ghost Return Pill is best taken after reaching the seventh level of Qi training.

Especially when you take the Ghost Return Pill for the first time, it can help break through the bottleneck, and the effect is very good. When I was in Black Mountain, I took this kind of spiritual pill for the first time and broke through the ninth level of Qi training."

Zhang Sidao took the elixir with a happy look on his face and said with a smile: "I remember, thank you fourteenth uncle for giving me the elixir. When I left, my grandfather's property was exchanged for medium-grade spiritual stones. After joining Qingxuan Sect, I exchanged 400 merits in the General Affairs Hall, and I don't have any other cultivation resources. With these elixirs, I can relax for a while."

Zhang Zhixuan knew that learning to refine equipment was very resource-consuming. Although Chen Hongyuan could bear some of it for him, Zhang Sidao must have lived a tight life in the past ten years and lacked various cultivation resources.

"If you are short of spiritual stones, don't keep it to yourself. Go and ask your Aunt Hanyan to think of a solution. She is a cultivator in the foundation-building stage. A little bit of it leaking out from her fingers will be enough for you. Your Aunt Hanyan is also lonely in the spiritual medicine garden. You should visit her often and build a relationship with her. It will be easier for you to ask for help in the future.

You should know that the descendants of a senior who worshipped in Qingxuan Sect many years ago are very attentive. Don't get on bad terms with Aunt Hanyan and let her prefer to help outsiders instead of you."

"Know I know that the man is Zhang Zhen, who is very likable and good at dealing with people. But I am not a child anymore, I can distinguish the priorities, I will visit Aunt Hanyan often. "

"You know it in your heart, things at home are very urgent, I don't have time to wait for Fellow Daoist Chen, these monster materials will stay here temporarily, and I will ask Fellow Daoist Chen to come back and entrust him to refine a few magic tools." Zhang Zhixuan took out the materials from the poisonous dragon from the storage bag and handed them to Zhang Sidao.
