Chapter 19 Market

The three elders were all experienced and cunning old hands who had practiced for many years. The reason why they did not doubt Zhang Zhixuan was that they allowed Qingchan to be easily included in the family tree and integrated into the family.

First, because Zhang Zhixuan was the next generation of cultivator with the fastest cultivation and the most promising future in the family, and he was of good family origin and the bloodline of the Zhang family cultivators.

Second, cultivators with natural spiritual roots were extremely rare, and it was almost impossible to see them once every few hundred years. The three elders could not think so far.

Third, integrating cultivators of other surnames into the family has been a strategy that the Zhang family has adhered to for hundreds of years. Qingchan was still young and was a local cultivator who knew the roots well, so it was easy for him to integrate into the family.

The three elders took away the spiritual rice and added some spiritual stones for Zhang Zhixuan.

Part of these spiritual stones was Zhang Zhixuan's annual welfare benefits, and the other part was for the resources to cultivate high-level spiritual medicines.

Every ten days, Zhang Zhixuan would crush a spiritual stone to replenish the spiritual energy for the most important dozens of high-level spiritual medicines. Every year, these dozens of spiritual herbs would consume more than thirty spiritual stones.

The most important few beads of spiritual herbs have a medicinal age of more than 300 years. For this small medicine garden, the family has spent more than thousands of spiritual stones in total.

After the three elders left together, Zhang Zhixuan began his busy pastoral life again.

Two months after the spiritual rice was harvested, new seeds were sown.

And two wild bees in the white jade beehive evolved into white jade bees.

There was almost no change in dozens of high-level spiritual herbs, and new yellow bud grass also sprouted and grew tender leaves more than one foot high.

In the blink of an eye, another three months passed.

Although Qingchan's practice was not too diligent, he broke through several realms in succession and reached the eighth level of innate. He was about to break through the innate stage and enter the Qi training stage.

Zhang Zhixuan practiced at the age of six, broke through the innate at the age of seven and a half, and entered the middle stage of Qi training at the age of eleven, which had already caused a sensation in the Zhang family.

Qingchan was able to break through the eighth level of innate in just four months of practice. Once the family knew about it, it would probably cause a lot of trouble.

Because of this worry, even though Qingchan didn't like to meditate and practice, Zhang Zhixuan didn't care about her. He let her do what she wanted and spent most of her time playing in the spiritual field.

In recent months, Qingchan's biggest hobby is to steal some honey from white jade bees. Even though she was stung by white jade bees three times, she still enjoys it and has accumulated a lot of experience in dealing with white jade bees.

After discovering the white jade beehive, the family paid more attention to this place.

Although the family is now in a difficult situation, they still took out 3,000 low-grade spirit stones and refined a second-level spirit gathering array to cultivate spirit veins.

Three months later, under the effect of the spirit gathering array, the spiritual energy here has become more and more sufficient, reaching the level of the second-level low-grade.

According to the estimation of fourth uncle Zhang Menglong, in another ten years, as long as the spirit water in the spirit well is continuously used to irrigate the array eye, the spirit vein can be upgraded by a small level.

Even though he already had a spiritual vein, Zhang Zhixuan's cultivation had already reached the peak of the middle stage of Qi training, and Qingchan was about to break through the innate stage. Once Qingchan began to refine spiritual energy, the spiritual energy here would probably be insufficient.

Long-term overload breathing of spiritual energy would cause great damage to the spiritual vein. The family had invested so much resources and would not let Zhang Zhixuan do this recklessly.

During this period of time, Zhang Zhixuan had made up his mind that he would take spiritual pills to improve his cultivation in the few years of farming at the foot of the mountain.

According to the family's experience of taking Golden Bud Pills, four Golden Bud Pills can be taken every year.

Each time a Golden Bud Pill is refined, the cultivation level is improved by about two months, and four Golden Bud Pills can improve the cultivation level by eight months.

Moreover, there is a spiritual vein in the spiritual field, although the spiritual vein grade is still low.

Even if one year of cultivation is only equivalent to half a year at the mountain gate, it can also improve some mana, and the progress may not be much slower than that at the mountain gate.

With a plan in mind, Zhang Zhixuan made preparations when there was some free time in the spiritual field, and went to the family shop in the market to buy the Golden Bud Pill.

There were not many spiritual medicines like the Golden Bud Pill in the mountain gate. Even if the cultivators in the family wanted to buy extra Golden Bud Pills, they had to go to the market shop to buy them.

It had just been about a year since the Golden Bud Pill was refined, and there should be some stock in the market.

If it takes another year or two, even if Zhang Zhixuan wanted to buy the spiritual pill, he might not be able to do anything.

The spiritual pills are made from the essence of plants and trees, spiritual water and spiritual objects, and they all have a little bit of pill poison, so they cannot be abused without restraint.

In general, regular market pill pavilions will explain the taboos of taking pills to cultivators.

These taboos will be strictly observed by cultivators who take spiritual pills. If something goes wrong due to the abuse of spiritual pills, the pill pavilion and the alchemist will not care.

The Zhang family has been refining the Golden Bud Pill for many years, and the family has a deep experience in taking pills.

A family cultivator like Zhang Zhixuan, who has some inheritance, would not easily buy the elixir sold by other families if he did not have the recipe and did not know the origin of the elixir.

The nearest market to Lushan is called Xihefang, which is located on the west bank of the Li River, the largest river in the three southeastern counties.

Xihefang is about 1,200 miles away from the gate of Lushan Mountain. If you go from the direction of Lushan County, you can save half the distance by taking a shortcut.

According to the speed of Zhang Zhixuan's light body technique, as long as he runs at full speed, he can reach Xihefang in three or four hours.

Zhang Zhixuan made preparations, opened the protective formation in the spiritual field, and brought several low-level cultivators in Lushan City to the spiritual field to look after him for one or two days.

He also told Qingchan to light the wolf smoke for help if there was any unusual movement.

Early in the morning, Zhang Zhixuan began to travel in a dusty manner.

Qi training cultivators cannot fly for a long time, and traveling at full speed is a very difficult task. Zhang Zhixuan was exhausted and arrived at Xihefang in the afternoon.

Xihefang was surrounded by clouds and mist, and dozens of rooms could be vaguely seen.

There was only one street in the market, with 26 houses on each side of the street. When Zhang Zhixuan arrived, the market was deserted and almost deserted.

Although it was the first time for Zhang Zhixuan to come to the market, he still found the family shop for the first time.

The Zhang family was one of the founders of Xihefang. At its peak, half of the shops in Xihefang belonged to the Zhang family cultivators.

Unfortunately, in the past hundred years, the power of the Zhang family has gradually declined, and only eight shops are left in the market.

Because the family power has declined, there are not many cultivators who can support the family. Three of the eight shops have been rented out, and now only five shops belong to the Zhang family cultivators.

The largest one is the Zhang family's Dan Pavilion, named Baicaoxuan.
