Chapter 17: Spirit Gathering Array

"Uncle Nineteen has always been cautious in character, so he made this arrangement carefully.

These several thousand kilograms of chalcedony rice are also a considerable source of wealth. Once targeted by the enemy, they may also cause trouble.

With the Cloud-Stepping Beast going down the mountain, even if you can't defeat the enemy, you can still return to the mountain safely. "Zhang Zhixuan thought for a while, and then opened the protective formation.

He first exchanged greetings with the two elders Zhang Mengyuan for a moment, and then took them directly to the White Jade Beehive.

The two of them carefully observed the hive. Zhang Mengyuan's face gradually became serious, and he said cautiously: "If I'm not mistaken, those dozen white bees should be white jade bees. They seem to have evolved from wild bees sensing aura. It is estimated that it is rare for ordinary bees to evolve into such rare spiritual insects in a hundred years.

These rare spiritual insects usually evolve after chasing spiritual flowers and herbs.

Among the dozens of pearl spiritual herbs grown in our medicine garden, the best one is already at the fourth level, and the rest are all precious third-level elixirs.

Even if the family has been in trouble for the past hundred years, we have not consumed these spiritual herbs. I just hope that they will have a higher value and can be exchanged for some elixirs for refining Foundation Establishment Pills to refine a furnace of Foundation Establishment Pills for the family.

Although these spiritual herbs were not exchanged for resources, they promoted the evolution of the White Jade Bee, which was considered a good thing.

This kind of spiritual insect is of high value and is as important to the family as this spiritual well.

This place is becoming more and more important to the family, but it’s a pity that there is no spiritual vein!

Without spiritual veins, it would be impossible to send too many monks to guard it.

This place cannot be let in casually by the juniors behind. They are not tight-lipped and don't have much knowledge. If the secret is leaked, Lingtian will be in danger.

There are still very few monks who come here often. After I go back, I will tell my 19th brother not to send irrelevant people here to cause trouble. "

Zhang Mengyuan is an old man and has seen the fights between immortal cultivators many times. He clearly knows that the struggle between immortal cultivators is far more cruel than the mortal world.

In order to compete for the limited resources for cultivating immortals, generations of immortal cultivators have been living in cruel struggles.

Just like raising gu, only the most qualified, wise, capable and lucky cultivators can stand out and climb to the top of the world of cultivating immortals.

Even though the family underwent a major change thirty years ago, the most fundamental reason was that the family's power had gradually declined over the past hundred years, and it could no longer maintain the third-level spiritual vein of Jiuhua Mountain.

Zhang Mengyuan had already witnessed that battle. Almost all of the thirty monks stationed in Jiuhua Mountain by his family were lost outside, except for the seven or eight people brought back by the clan leader.

After this battle, the backbone of the family, the monks of the Lezi generation, were almost completely lost.

Another thirty years passed, when the monks of Meng's generation grew up and regained a little strength.

The evolving White Jade Bee was discovered in the family's spiritual field. Zhang Mengyuan and the two had no time to exchange greetings. They hurriedly packed up the spiritual rice and returned to Lushan that night.

A few days later, the fourth uncle Zhang Menglong, the law enforcement elder, the fifteenth uncle Zhang Mengchong, the elder Zhang Mengchong, the ninth uncle Zhang Mengquan, the Dange elder, and the seventh uncle Zhang Mengyuan went down the mountain together and hurried to the spiritual field.

Although the fourth uncle, Zhang Menglong, is over eighty years old, he is the best formation master in the family. The family's mountain-protecting formation, the Qingguang Bamboo Sea Formation, is his years of hard work.

His formation cultivation level has exceeded the third level. If he had joined Qingxuan Mountain when he was young and relied on his good formation talent, he would definitely have received the Foundation Establishment Pill given by Qingxuan Sect.

Unfortunately, in the past hundred years, the Zhang family's power has weakened and they are unable to provide foundation-building pills to the family's monks.

Therefore, monks with good talents such as Zhang Menglong and Zhang Mengquan could only miss good opportunities to build foundations in succession, and eventually reached the realm of Qi training.

It is more difficult for an array master to upgrade than an alchemist or a weapon refiner. His family has been rooted in Lushan for four hundred years. Zhang Menglong is the only third-level array master in hundreds of years.

According to his ability, if he had presided over the formation at Jiuhua Mountain, the enemy might not have been able to easily break the formation and break through the mountain gate.

The four of them observed the White Jade Beehive in detail for an afternoon. Zhang Menglong finally painfully took out thirty middle-grade spirit stones, and arranged a second-order high-grade spirit gathering formation beside the spiritual well. Then he took out a second-order high-grade spirit stone. The green gourd magic weapon was used as a formation eye with a few spiritual arts.

He glanced at Zhang Zhixuan and said: "It seems that my nephew has a good chance, and he has gained something as soon as he stepped out of the mountain gate.

As long as this nest of white jade bees can produce a queen bee, even if the rank is still low, once royal jelly is produced, it will be of great benefit to the clan leader's injury.

Once Sanbo's injury improves, our difficulties will be slightly better.

Over the years, the family has almost completely shrunk. Except for this spiritual field and a few shops in the market, almost all outside businesses have been abandoned.

Every year, the income and expenditure are beyond the income, and they all rely on the capital accumulated in the past.

This time he took out three thousand low-grade spiritual stones and refined a second-order spirit gathering formation. It only took half a year to cultivate a second-order low-grade spiritual vein.

Starting from today, on the first day of every month, you will water the jasper gourd with the spiritual water from the well.

As long as it lasts for ten years, after all thirty middle-grade spirit stones have been refined by the spirit gathering formation, this spiritual vein will grow to the second-order middle grade, enough for three sixth-level Qi-training monks to practice at the same time.

Unfortunately, the family inventory is already empty, and there are not many resources to cultivate spiritual veins.

If I can cultivate the second-level high-grade spiritual veins at once, I will come down here to retire. "

The second-level mid-grade spiritual veins are enough for three sixth-level Qi-training monks to exhale spiritual energy together. If the training time is divided, it can also allow at least six mid-level Qi-training monks to practice.

Even the newly cultivated second-level inferior spiritual vein can provide spiritual energy for three third-level Qi training cultivators, barely enough for Zhang Zhixuan to meditate and practice.

"Zhixuan!

From today on, your task will be a little heavier.

Not only do you have to cultivate the spirit veins, but you also have to keep an eye on the beehive at all times. Once there is any abnormality, you must quickly go up the mountain to inform your family.

In the future, you are not allowed to use the communication talisman to avoid being intercepted by outsiders and discovering the abnormality here."

Zhang Zhixuan nodded and said, "Don't worry, Fourth Uncle, I will always pay attention.

In fact, the opportunity of the white jade bee was not discovered by me, but by the little girl behind me.

Her father was the patrol officer of Lushan County. He died in the hands of the cat demon to save me. Because she was alone and pitiful, I adopted her here.

Although the little girl can't speak, she is very smart. Recently, I have been preparing to teach her to practice. Judging from her progress, her spiritual roots should be good. It is estimated that she is at least a three-spiritual root cultivator, or even a two-spiritual root cultivator."

The Zhang family lost Jiuhua Mountain and the spirit measuring platform. They cannot detect the spiritual roots of cultivators, so they cannot provide suitable exercises for cultivators.

So in the past thirty years, the cultivation speed of the Zhi generation cultivators in the family has been slower than that of the Meng generation.

Without the spirit-testing platform, the choice of cultivation methods and the testing of spiritual roots of the cultivators almost completely depend on the experience of the predecessors.

According to Zhang Zhixuan's estimation, Qingchan's spiritual roots are heavenly spiritual roots, but unfortunately the Zhang family has been declining for many years and cannot protect a cultivator with heavenly spiritual roots.

So Zhang Zhixuan lied to protect Qingchan.

The cultivators with heavenly spiritual roots have extraordinary qualifications and can advance to the Purple Mansion Stage with very few resources.

The Purple Mansion Stage is already considered a high-level cultivator among the immortals. If there is one more Purple Mansion Stage cultivator in the family, the situation will immediately change dramatically.

The reason why Zhang Zhixuan did not send Qingchan to the Qingxuan Sect, which has a more promising future, is that he is afraid of the invisible risks within the sect.

Because the immortals above the Jindan Stage have completely condensed their souls and have a chance to be reborn and reincarnate.

After reincarnation, most of the Jindan cultivators cannot overcome the mystery in the womb.

On the contrary, it is relatively easier to take over the body of a low-level cultivator.

Although it sounds like the reputation of a monk who takes over a body is not good, and some Yuanshen monks hate people who take over a body very much, once they find a monk who takes over a body, they will often punish him severely.

However, high-level monks above the Jindan level dare to do almost anything to survive.

Jindan monks have high standards. Unless they have no choice, the monks they take over often have excellent spiritual roots, either special spiritual roots or heavenly spiritual roots.

Therefore, some independent cultivators with excellent spiritual roots sometimes do not easily join the sect.

And some immortal cultivation families will find out the life span of the Jindan ancestors of each sect.

Only when they seize the opportunity will they send the family's genius monks into the sect, so as to avoid the family's hope being taken over and losing their lives.

Once Qingchan's heavenly spiritual roots are discovered by others, if the Zhang family is not careful, there will be a hidden danger of the family's destruction.

And Qingchan's fate will also be full of twists and turns, and it is hard to say whether it is good or bad.

Any immortal cultivation family that has some means will hide the heavenly spiritual root monks tightly unless they have no choice.

As long as the cultivators with this kind of spiritual roots continue to cultivate normally and provide relatively few resources, most of them can cultivate to the middle three-grade realms such as the Purple Mansion Stage, the Golden Core Stage, and the Nascent Soul Stage, and become the support of a sect or family.

Even if it is a local overlord like the Qingxuan Sect, it is difficult to accept a disciple with a natural spiritual root to enter the sect for hundreds or thousands of years.

Qingchan was discovered by Zhang Zhixuan, which was also the blessing accumulated by the Zhang family for many years.
