Chapter 212 Xuanyin Gourd

Because of the rampage of the East Pole locusts, a large group of East Pole locusts opened up dozens of wide roads to the Black Mountain.

The weeds and trees along the road, and even the third-level monsters, were devoured and driven away by the East Pole locusts, forming a large wasteland.

These desolate grounds are also relatively flat, which is very suitable for large groups of vehicles and horses to pass.

There is no need to take a long detour, and there are no weeds and trees blocking the way. This time, a lot of time was saved on the trip to the Black Mountain. It only took three and a half months for Zhang Zhixuan and his party to arrive at the Black Mountain.

This year, the Black Mountain was severely affected by the disaster. Zhang Zhixuan brought twice the amount of spiritual rice this time, plus some other specialties of Taicheng County. The value of the goods this time has exceeded 10,000 spiritual stones.

Although the goods this time are very valuable, the Black Mountain cultivators did not dare to make any plans this time. At such a sensitive time, daring to rob the transport caravan, let alone whether it can succeed, even if you survive by luck, you can't pass the level of Liang Patriarch.

Although Liang Patriarch is not far from sitting in the sky, several of his disciples have cultivated to the ninth level of foundation building, which is enough to suppress the scattered cultivators on the Black Mountain.

Among these disciples of Liang Laozu, except for the fourth disciple Kang Duhe who stayed in Jiangkou County, the rest of the disciples' lives and property are in Heishan. Anyone who dares to rob the caravan transporting spiritual rice to Heishan will be left with no chance to live.

Zhang Zhixuan and others came to Heishan all the way. This time, except for some special products left for Baibao Pavilion, the bulk of the remaining goods were still sold to Taixu Pavilion.

As long as Liang Laozu is still there, this large-scale trade can only be monopolized by Taixu Pavilion. As for Liang Laozu's absence, if any of his disciples can open up the Purple Mansion, Taixu Pavilion can also keep its own industry. If Liang Laozu's disciples cannot open up the Purple Mansion, Taixu Pavilion, the big fat sheep, will be in big trouble.

Zhang Zhixuan and Liang Hanyang counted this batch of goods clearly, and looked at the list of goods that almost doubled in number, Liang Hanyang looked embarrassed.

"Fellow Daoist Zhang, you know that our Taixu Pavilion suffered a great loss from this locust plague. We are a bit short of spiritual stones for the time being. Can you wait for a few years?"

The losses caused to Taixu Pavilion by this locust plague are almost immeasurable. Their spiritual medicine garden was destroyed by the Dongji locusts, and all the spiritual medicines in it were lost. Even the various spiritual objects in the warehouse of the pavilion were eaten up by the Dongji locusts.

Whether it is spiritual rice, spiritual stones or spiritual ore, as long as there is spiritual energy, it cannot escape the clutches of the Dongji locusts. It can be said that the Black Mountain monks, except for the things in the storage bag, have almost lost most of their spiritual objects this time.

Even with the support of Liang Laozu, Taixu Pavilion cannot take out 10,000 spiritual stones in cash now.

After dealing with Taixu Pavilion for many years, their family has a very good reputation and has never defaulted on spiritual stones. Liang Hanyang made such a request for the first time, and Zhang Zhixuan was embarrassed to refuse it.

Zhang Zhixuan looked at Liang Hanyang awkwardly and said bitterly: "This is the first time that Fellow Daoist Liang has made such a request. Considering our decades of friendship, I am willing to help if I can. However, these goods are not ours. The majority of spiritual rice belongs to the Liu family of Taibai Mountain. Our family has spent too much in recent years, and our family alone cannot make up for this hole. Why don't I exchange a batch of spiritual objects from the remaining resources of Taixu Pavilion so that everyone can circulate among each other."

In the world of immortal cultivation, competition is very fierce. Unless they are friends in need, ordinary cultivators are friends of interest and it is difficult for them to have real feelings.

Even the families that rely on each other, such as Zhang, Wu, Liu, and Zhu, have interests at stake among the foundation-building cultivators, and there is not much real feeling between them.

Back then, in order to compete for the interests of the third-level pill formula on Black Mountain, Liang Hanyang personally came forward to force Zhang Zhixuan to retreat, and the two sides had conflicts with each other.

He originally thought that Zhang Zhixuan would find an excuse to refuse. If he was not helpless, he would not give up this face.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Zhixuan is a kind person. Although this matter is a piece of cake for him, as long as Taixu Pavilion can survive for two or three years, it can slowly recover its vitality and will not lose its reputation for hundreds of years.

Once Liang Laozu is gone, Heishan may not be able to be saved, and even the most precious cultivation resources on the body may have to be offered to ensure safety.

At that time, the only thing that Taixu Pavilion can rely on is the credit of many years. With this credit, Taixu Pavilion can still turn around and maintain the development of the Liang family.

The reason why Zhang Zhixuan is willing to help also has his own plans.

Liang Laozu seems to be in trouble now, but as the first cultivator of the Purple Mansion of Yu Kingdom, he may not necessarily be unable to form a pill. Buy a good deal today when Taixu Pavilion is declining, and they will have to pay a greater price for this favor in the future.

Moreover, the Liang family has three cultivators in the foundation-building period and still have foundation-building pills in their hands. Even if Liang Laozu is gone, their family will join the Qingxuan Sect, which is also a very powerful family. There will always be a time when they can use each other.

Zhang Zhixuan was willing to barter, and Liang Hanyang's pressure was relieved. He first asked Liang Laozu to borrow 6,000 spiritual stones, settled the goods of Wu and Liu, and then took Zhang Zhixuan directly to the top floor of Taixu Pavilion.

During the locust plague in Heishan, Taixu Pavilion only saved the spiritual objects on the top floor. Although these spiritual objects were expensive, they were few in number and far less valuable than the bulk materials on the bottom floor.

Because there were few foundation-building cultivators in Heishan, these spiritual objects above the third level were difficult to sell and difficult to turn around. The market of Qingxuan Sect was generally not short of these third-level spiritual objects. People had their own ways, and it was difficult for Taixu Pavilion to intervene.

Zhang Zhixuan came to the top floor and found a familiar magic weapon. He had seen this magic weapon in Taixu Pavilion thirty years ago. At that time, he was shocked by its high price for a long time.

This magic weapon is called Xuanyin Gourd. It is of the third-grade upper grade. It can refine Xuanyin True Water. Xuanyin True Water is the nemesis of most fire-attribute spells and is most suitable for Qingchan, who has water spiritual roots.

Qingchan is a cultivator with heavenly spiritual roots. Although he cultivates quickly and consumes less resources, he can cultivate fewer spells. Once people know the weaknesses of his spiritual root skills, he will be easily targeted and restrained.

Although she is the most restrained cultivator with fire-attribute skills, if the enemy is too powerful, she can also restrain Qingchan. Therefore, for a cultivator with water spiritual roots like her, the magic weapon she needs most is the magic weapon that restrains fire and earth attributes.

Unfortunately, wood-attribute magic weapons are relatively rare. Generally, magic weapons are mainly based on gold and fire attributes. Zhang Zhixuan has practiced Taoism for many years. Although he has handled more than a dozen magic tools, he has not prepared a wood-attributed magic tool, so it is impossible for him to prepare one for Qingchan.

Zhang Zhixuan was quite envious of this water-attributed magic tool back then, but he did not dare to think too much because he was embarrassed. Unexpectedly, thirty years later, this third-level top-grade magic tool that had been suppressed in Taixu Pavilion for hundreds of years still fell into Zhang Zhixuan's hands.

With this magic tool, whether it is used by Qingchan or Hanyan, it can exert its greatest power.

In addition to the Xuanyin Gourd, Zhang Zhixuan plans to exchange all the materials he brought this time for third-level spiritual objects and leave them to the three foundation-building cultivators in the family.

In recent years, the three foundation-building cultivators in the family have been moving forward with the family on their backs. Fortunately, this time they took the opportunity to let them enjoy the benefits of family practice.

Zhang Zhixuan and Qingchan have accumulated more than 4,000 family merits over the years. Because the family lacks third-level spiritual objects, these merits have not been of much use. This time, the purchase of the Xuanyin Gourd just happened to use these merits to exchange this spiritual object for Qingchan.
