Chapter 200 Uncle Nineteen Returns to the Mountain

Among the ten elders of the family who have reached the ninth level of Qi training, Uncle Nineteen has the best spiritual roots, has been practicing Qi training for the longest time, and has the most experience.

He practiced Qi training to the ninth level when he was young, and wasted decades in the Zhang family, missing the best age to build a foundation.

Almost all of his youth was spent on Tiantai Peak.

The elders of their generation shared the joys and sorrows with the clan leader along the way, and maintained the dilapidated mountain gate together. It was not until Zhang Zhixuan came out of nowhere and successfully built a foundation that the family's current situation was gradually changed and it became more and more prosperous.

Because of this experience, he is also the most capable and prestigious person among the Qi training cultivators in the family.

It has been almost ten years since he went to the Black Mountain in the Southern Wilderness to preside over the overall situation of the Treasure Pavilion.

Ten years ago, the other elders in the family were not able to gain experience, so Zhang Zhixuan was not at ease to let them go to the Southern Wilderness.

The family really did not have the right people, so he could only leave his wife and young son behind and go to the Black Mountain to support the Treasure Pavilion industry.

Ten years have passed, and the business of Baibao Pavilion has stabilized. With the support of the Zhang family of Taicheng County, this century-old shop has finally regained its former momentum.

Because there are still many spiritual objects special to Taicheng County in the shop, the annual performance has exceeded that of Wang Songhe.

Now that the situation has improved, Uncle Nineteen also wants to return to the gate of Lushan Mountain.

Ten years have passed, and the young children have grown up.

Ten years away from home, he has never seen his wife and children, and can only communicate a few letters every year through the trade caravan.

A few years ago, he wrote from Heishan to ask Zhang Zhixuan to select a successor, but at that time the family was very short of manpower and could not transfer a suitable person.

After Zhang Siyang, Zhang Sipeng, and Zhang Zhiren advanced to the ninth level of Qi training and became family elders, the lack of family backbones improved slightly, and Zhang Zhixuan had a suitable candidate to replace him.

Zhang Siyang ranked sixth among the Si generation of cultivators, three years older than Zhang Zhixuan, and is now approaching the sixty-year limit of the foundation-building level.

He has been practicing Qi training for only one year, and it is impossible for him to reach the peak of Qi training before the age of sixty.

Unlike his uncle who had extraordinary talent, his chance of building a foundation is pitifully small. Even if the family gives him a foundation-building pill, his chance of building a foundation is less than 10%.

With this probability, unless you are the son of the Golden Pill Patriarch, there is only a slight chance of successfully building a foundation.

Even if he is in the Qingxuan Sect and is the direct descendant of a Purple Mansion cultivator, the sect will not invest resources in Qi training ninth-level cultivators with such poor talent to prepare foundation-building pills for them to build a foundation.

A foundation-building pill costs 10,000 spirit stones, which is also a considerable amount for a Purple Mansion cultivator.

Using 10,000 spirit stones to get less than 10% chance, even if you are Liang Taixu's biological son, you don't have the financial resources to waste multiple foundation-building pills to successfully build a foundation.

It can be said that Zhang Siyang's life is hopeless.

Among the ten Qi training ninth-level cultivators of the Zhang family, the cultivators who have the hope of passing the foundation-building level are now only Zhang Sipeng and Zhang Zhixing.

Among the next generation of cultivators, only Zhang Sidao and Zhang Sihong have a small foundation-building pill that determines their fate.

Among the four, Zhang Sidao has already gone to Qingxuan Sect. He is only in his thirties now, and his cultivation has reached the eighth level of Qi Refining. With the support of his family outside and the care of Han Yan and Chen Hongyuan in the sect, he has the highest probability of obtaining the foundation-building pill, and his chance of building a foundation should be more than 30%.

Zhang Sihong is the youngest, but has the best spiritual roots. He is a cultivator with two spiritual roots in the conflict between water and fire, and his cultivation speed is not as fast as his nineteenth uncle Zhang Mengling. However, since he has the Xuanyin Fu magic weapon, he has been able to suppress the conflict between the two spiritual roots of water and fire, and his cultivation is still faster than that of the three spiritual roots. Now he is only twenty-one years old, and his cultivation has reached the sixth level of Qi Refining.

Now the family is not short of resources, and the conditions are much better than decades ago. Before the age of thirty-five, it is estimated that he can cultivate to the ninth level of Qi Refining.

Zhang Sipeng and Zhang Zhiren are both over 40 years old, and are not far from the age of 60 when their blood and qi will decline. If they can obtain the foundation-building pill before the age of 60, they should have more than 30% chance of building a foundation. .

The Zhang family now has two foundation-building pills, one in Qingchan's hands, and one hidden in the Nine Palace Box, which is placed in the family's Sutra Hall.

Except for the three foundation-building cultivators in the family, even the nineteenth uncle Zhang Mengling does not know the internal details. .

On the surface, Qingchan is also a cultivator who takes the foundation-building pill to build his foundation. This foundation-building pill can only be hidden in the dark and is difficult to be exposed in the open.

The other foundation-building pill hidden in the Nine Palace Box was promised by the Zhang family to the descendants of the Wang family bloodline. Without Wang Luyuan's cooperation, it is impossible to take it out of the Nine Palace Box.

In the eyes of outsiders, Zhang Zhixuan obtained two foundation-building pills from Heishan, one of which was given to his Taoist partner Qingchan, and the other was kept at home. There is no suitable candidate for the pill yet.

In the eyes of the family elders, this foundation-building pill is to be left to the descendants of the Wang family bloodline, and they can't count on it at all. The two elders who have the hope of breaking through the foundation-building level don't know the details at all. If they want to build a foundation, they can only choose to take risks and break through the level like Zhang Zhixuan.

It is easy to die when taking risks to break through the level. Eighteenth aunt Zhang Mengqin died on the way to break through the level. Judging from the personalities of Zhang Sipeng and Zhang Zhixing, they should not dare to take this step.

Among the nine-level Qi training cultivators of the Zhang family, only a few warriors dared to choose this path. In addition to Qingchan Tianlinggen, there are only seven people in the hundreds of years including Zhang Zhixuan, and only he succeeded.

The Zhang family has developed rapidly in recent years. In the forty years since Zhang Zhixuan came down the mountain, the family has three third-level spiritual veins.

Each third-level spiritual vein needs a foundation-building cultivator to sit in charge, otherwise it will not be very stable.

Because there is no foundation-building cultivator sitting in the Jiuhua Mountain, the current spiritual vein of the Zhang family, Zhang Zhixuan dare not invest resources in Jiuhua Mountain. He can only use the 20 acres of spiritual fields on the mountain to support some naturalized casual cultivators and cultivators from vassal families, and use them to ease the contradiction of insufficient family cultivators.

Although the Zhang family now has three foundation-building cultivators, there has been a tremendous change compared to decades ago, but now the family is getting bigger and bigger, and three foundation-building cultivators are not enough.

If someone can build a foundation, it can reduce a lot of Zhang Zhixuan's burden.

However, who to use this foundation-building pill has also caused Zhang Zhixuan and the other two a lot of headaches over the years.

The two elders who are suitable for taking the foundation-building pill have not made great contributions to the family, and they can't gather enough family good deeds to exchange for the foundation-building pill for the time being.

No matter who it is given to, if it is not fair and just, it will cause dissatisfaction among the clan members.

Moreover, after using this foundation-building pill, Wang Luyuan must be persuaded to help conceal the news to avoid suspicion from others. Only after persuading Wang Luyuan can the foundation-building pill in Qingchan's hand be revealed.

After Wang Zixuan's death, there were only three cultivators left in the Wang family. These three were pseudo-spiritual root cultivators with low cultivation. They have been practicing in Tiantai Peak, the base camp of the Zhang family, for many years. In addition to Wang Luyuan, who still has the heart to practice, the remaining two Wang family cultivators have married many beautiful wives and concubines of the Zhang family in Tiantai Peak in recent years, and they are all enjoying a peaceful life.

They are all five spiritual root cultivators. They have lived quite comfortably in Lushan for these years, far from being as nervous as they were in Black Mountain back then. No matter who uses the foundation-building pill, it is not their turn anyway, and they don't want to care about such things.

Wang Luyuan needs the protection of the Zhang family to save his life. He and the Zhang family are now in the same prosperity. As long as Zhang Zhixuan makes the relationship between the interests clear, this person is more aware of the current situation and will definitely cooperate with all his strength.

Of course, the foundation-building pill must be used. This kind of treasure can only play its due value if it cultivates a foundation-building cultivator. According to Zhang Zhixuan's inner thoughts, he is still going to use the foundation-building pill on Zhang Sihong.

Although Zhang Sihong has not made any contribution to the family, he is the nephew of Uncle Nineteen, who is very close to him by blood. If Uncle Nineteen fully supports him, he should be able to raise 3,000 merits. In addition, if he works hard, he can also save some before he is sixty years old. If Zhang Zhixuan, the clan leader, and others lend him some, they can raise enough merits to exchange for the foundation-building pill.

As a cultivator of the second spiritual root, he has more than 80% chance of using the foundation-building pill to build his foundation, so it is the most stable to use the foundation-building pill.

Due to an operational error, chapters 197 and 198 were sent in the wrong order. I hope everyone will understand.
