Chapter 197 Letter from a Mysterious Person

In the past five years, the Chaoyin Mountain Lingshi Mine has been on the right track, increasing its income by six hundred Lingshi every year. Although the golden silkworms have just settled in Tiantai Peak, they can still produce a lot of black golden silk every year. It is only the first year. In 2000, the family sold one hundred spirit stones for the Lingyun yarn weaved from black gold silk.

As the growth of Lingmulberry trees became more and more gratifying, the black gold silk produced by golden silkworms returned to normal levels in the following years, and the output of Lingyun yarn woven every year increased significantly.

In the past three years, the output of golden silkworms each year has reached 240 spirit stones, which has almost caught up with the white jade beehive at the foot of Lingjing Mountain.

Not only that, in recent years, the production of Xuanyou grass has also begun to increase. The water pools in the mountains behind Tiantai Peak, the wells at the foot of Lingjing Mountain, and the bottom of the Wanshe Cave pool are all covered with Xuanyou grass. The combined number has already reached Sixty plants.

All these Xuanyou grasses were made into Youhuan Dan by Zhang Zhixuan.

Zhang Zhixuan is already a third-level alchemist, and his success rate in refining this second-level high-grade elixir has reached 70%.

Every twelve years, he can refine the Youhuan Dan once, and each time he can make at least 400 pills. The large-scale refining of Youhuan Dan has led to a large increase in the supply of Youhuan Dan in Taicheng County.

Due to changes in the relationship between supply and demand, the supply of Youhuan Dan has exceeded demand. The price of this effective elixir has also dropped slightly, basically to the level of Montenegro, which is about one-third cheaper than a few decades ago.

Even so, every year when the Xuanyou grass matures and the Youhuan Dan is refined, the Zhang family's income almost skyrockets by more than 4,000 spirit stones.

Up to now, the family can have a balance of eight hundred spirit stones every year. If this situation continues, if there is no increase in manpower, it will be possible to raise enough resources to purchase a Foundation Establishment Pill in just a dozen years.

It's a pity that the Zhang family is currently extremely short of manpower. Almost all the monks in the family are busy, and even the regular rotation time is difficult to fix.

If this continues, it will affect the normal practice of the family monks.

For a cultivator, the monk's cultivation is the most important. Even if he earns more spiritual stones, if it delays the monk's path, it will be more than he loses.

Relying on the balance of the past five years, the family has repaid the debt allocated from the redemption of Jiuhua Mountain. In another three or four years, all the allocated spiritual stones from the Chaoyin Mountain Lingshi Mine will be repaid.

Even the eight thousand spiritual stones that the family owes Zhang Zhixuan for cultivating the spiritual veins of Lingjing Mountain will be slowly repaid in more than ten years.

The family's income and expenditure situation has improved, and the situation is also prosperous. It is also of great benefit to high-level monks like Zhang Zhixuan in their practice.

One day, Zhang Zhixuan was practicing at Tiantai Peak. He saw his third brother Zhang Zhihe holding a letter in panic and handing it to Zhang Zhixuan.

Zhang Zhihe is a second-level high-grade alchemist. He is currently in charge of Xihefang. All the business of Xihefang is under his jurisdiction. His position in the family is equivalent to that of the ninth uncle Zhang Mengquan.

After the Wu family took back control of Xihefang, they returned the shops that the Hu family had occupied from the four major families to the Zhang, Liu, and Zhu families. As for the Ma family that had been wiped out, their shares in Fangshi were not saved, and Wu was given an advantage in vain. family.

There are several more shops in Xihefang, coupled with the income from Fangshi Inn, and Zhang Zhihe, a second-level high-grade alchemist who has been in charge for a long time, the family's income in Xihefang has also begun to increase significantly.

The combined annual income of the eight shops and the inn has exceeded four hundred spirit stones, which is higher than the income of Heishan Baibao Pavilion.

"Fourteenth Brother, I came out of Xihefang a few days ago and was caught by a mysterious monk. He wrote a letter and asked me to deliver it to the family's foundation-building monk. The patriarch is not at home, so I can only hand the letter to you. in my hands."

Zhang Zhixuan first scanned the letter with his spiritual consciousness and found no trap before taking it into his hand and asked: "Third brother, what is the cultivation level of the person who arrested you? Is there any help around him?"

Zhang Zhixuan opened the letter and saw that the letter was written by a strange monk. There was not much in the letter. He just wanted to meet Zhang Zhixuan outside Xihefang.

If a stranger writes a letter asking to meet in Xihefang, there may be a trap.

However, the Hu family has moved to Jiangkou County, and the enemies Lu Yian and Chen Zhongping on the Black Mountain have lost their heads.

Although the Hongshan Sect also had a grudge against Zhang Zhixuan, the Hongshan Sect suffered heavy losses in the defeat. Their monks did not dare to sneak into Taicheng County. What's more, how could a large sect like the Hongshan Sect seek revenge on a small family like the Zhang family? .

Therefore, Zhang Zhixuan thought about it carefully and still felt that it was impossible for someone to set a trap against him.

But without finding out where this person came from, Zhang Zhixuan was certainly not willing to go to Xihefang to meet him rashly.

So he wrote a letter and asked Zhang Zhihe to take it in his hand. He went to find this person outside Xihefang and agreed to meet at Tiantai Peak to see if this person dared to come to Tiantai Peak.

There is a mountain protection formation on Tiantai Peak, and it is very close to Lingjing Mountain. Qingchan can also bring a large number of monks to reinforce him. As long as this person is not a monk from Zifu, he will not be able to escape Zhang Zhixuan's grasp when he comes to Tiantai Peak.

Zhang Zhihe had dealt with a mysterious man outside Xihefang, and he knew that this mysterious man was a foundation-building monk.

In his heart, he was somewhat afraid of this strange and mysterious letter of divorce, and he was unwilling to deliver the letter in person.

But Zhang Zhixuan was the backbone of the Zhang family, and Zhang Zhihe did not dare to oppose his decision, so he had no choice but to go to Xihefang with the letter.

But he still didn't dare to look for the mysterious person outside Fangshi, so he had to fool Zhang Siting, who was on the third level of Qi training, and asked this monk of the Si generation to take the letter and send it to Fangshi.

The mysterious man has been guarding outside Xihefang recently. After receiving Zhang Zhixuan's letter, he did not have any trouble for Zhang Siting, who had a low cultivation level.

This person has been in Taicheng County for almost half a year. During this time, he has already found out a lot of local information about Taicheng County.

Among the dozen or so foundation-building cultivators in Taicheng County, Zhang Zhixuan is already the one with the greatest magical power.

Wu Xiangwen, the Wu family's highest cultivator, used a talisman, but his achievements in the battle of Chaoyin Mountain were not as good as Zhang Zhixuan's. Every cultivator in Taicheng County knew this clearly.

He thought he had good means, but his foundation-building time was still short. Even if he was conceited, he could not be a match for a ruthless person like Zhang Zhixuan.

Moreover, the Zhang family is a behemoth in Taicheng County, with more than 100 family cultivators, three foundation-building cultivators, and deep connections in Qingxuan Sect.

What's more tricky is that the foundation-building families in Taicheng County are quite united, almost sharing the same fate.

If he rashly kills someone and angers the Zhang family, he will probably be besieged by the Taicheng County cultivation families. By then, even if he has nine lives, he will not be able to leave Taicheng County.

So even though there were risks in going to the Zhang family's lair, in order to find out the reason for his father's disappearance, he thought about it for a few days and was willing to take the risk of going to Tiantai Peak to investigate the matter.
