Chapter 295: Opening up the Purple Palace

In the two years at Guiyuan Mountain, in addition to assisting Lu Hongniang in escorting the spirit boat, Zhang Zhixuan has been practicing in the fifth-level spirit veins with abundant spiritual energy. Since practicing to the ninth level of foundation building, Zhang Zhixuan has practiced hard for eight years and finally reached the peak of the foundation building period and perfected the foundation of Taoism.

When he first built his foundation, he practiced very fast, and his cultivation once caught up with Han Yan, who was seven years older than him. However, after entering the late stage of foundation building, because of his average spiritual root aptitude, his cultivation speed gradually couldn't keep up with Qing Chan and the others. In the end, he was surpassed by Qing Chan and Han Yan one after another, and was the last one to break through the purple mansion.

After returning to Tiantai Peak, Zhang Zhixuan first put three foundation building pills into the family treasury, notified the family elders under the age of sixty, and asked them to find a way to raise good deeds and exchange for foundation building pills to break through the foundation building realm.

After returning home, Zhang Zhixuan exchanged three foundation building pills for 30,000 family good deeds, and then used 4,900 good deeds to exchange for medium-grade spirit stones in the family inventory. He also sent someone to use Han Yan's relationship to buy a spirit gathering array from Qingxuan Sect again, preparing to refine spiritual energy to break through the Purple Mansion Realm.

According to the agreement between him and Liang Laozu, he was ready to take over the Black Mountain Spiritual Vein for cultivation after the Purple Mansion.

Originally, it was more certain to break through the Purple Mansion in a place with abundant spiritual energy, but Zhang Zhixuan had the Huangting Dao Theory and the Purple Qi Divine Power, which might have attracted the attention of others.

In order to prevent people with ulterior motives from secretly calculating, even if he spent more than 5,000 spirit stones, Zhang Zhixuan was ready to break through the Purple Mansion in the family's spiritual vein.

Zhang Zhixuan broke through the Purple Mansion in seclusion, and naturally had Qingchan to protect him.

On Guiyuan Peak, she broke through another realm, and had cultivated to the second level of the Purple Mansion three months ago.

Since retrieving her spirit, Qingchan has become a normal Tianlinggen cultivator, and her cultivation speed is far beyond that of ordinary people. I am afraid that in another sixty years, she will be able to cultivate to the peak of the Purple Mansion period.

During the Purple Mansion period, even if Zhang Zhixuan tried his best, he could not keep up with Qingchan's cultivation speed.

Zhang Zhixuan's opening of the Purple Palace alarmed Qingxuan Sect's Han Yan, who was a little worried about Zhang Zhixuan's use of the Purple Qi Divine Power in public.

However, now that she and Qingchan are protected by the two Purple Palaces, as long as the Jin and Lu ancestors do not speak directly, the Zhang family has the ability to stop others.

In order to prevent anyone from making a rash move, Han Yan personally came to Lingjing Mountain to cooperate with Qingchan to protect Zhang Zhixuan. With the protection of two Purple Palace cultivators, as long as there is no intervention from the late Purple Palace cultivators, it is impossible for ordinary Purple Palaces to disrupt Zhang Zhixuan's advancement to the Purple Palace.

Zhang Zhixuan had refined the Purple Qi Divine Light in advance, which was equivalent to opening the upper Dantian in advance. The first step of breaking through the Purple Palace was almost a natural process for him.

After the Tao foundation was perfected, Zhang Zhixuan opened the upper Dantian with a rush of mana. The most difficult step for a foundation-building cultivator was very easy for him.

After opening the upper Dantian, Zhang Zhixuan slowly communicated his mana and began to open up the seventeen acupoints.

The second step of breaking through the Purple Palace was the real test for Zhang Zhixuan.

He is a three-spiritual-root cultivator, and the degree of blockage of meridians and acupoints in his body is far greater than that of Qingchan and Hanyan. Fortunately, not much mana was consumed when opening the upper dantian, so Zhang Zhixuan had enough energy and time to slowly open it.

It took Zhang Zhixuan three years to open the acupoints.

After three years of retreat and hard practice, he finally completed all preparations and reached the final moment of breaking through the purple mansion.

Zhang Zhixuan was refreshed, and tried his best to operate the mana stored in the upper dantian, and began to use the soul power in the upper dantian to communicate with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, preparing to refine the spiritual energy to break through the purple mansion.

A series of spiritual energy vortices appeared on the top of Lingjing Mountain, and soon spread out to a size of dozens of feet.

Seeing this scene, Qingchan's face was delighted, and he quickly activated the gathering spirit formation, and then shook his hands, shattering the forty-nine medium-grade spiritual stones that had been prepared long ago, and replenished this huge spiritual energy into the spiritual energy vortex.

After absorbing this huge spiritual energy, Zhang Zhixuan's mana almost tripled, and the violent mana started to run at a high speed, breaking through the bottleneck in an instant.

After building the foundation, it took sixty-two years to break through to the Purple Mansion at the age of ninety. With the physique of a three-spiritual-root cultivator, he almost caught up with Han Yan, who had a different spiritual root, in terms of cultivation progress, which was enough for Zhang Zhixuan to be proud of.

However, compared with Qingchan, Zhang Zhixuan and the others were a little far behind.

Qingchan built the foundation at the age of thirty-six, and her cultivation progress was not as good as Zhang Zhixuan and the others, but only another thirty-six years later, she cultivated to the Purple Mansion period at the age of seventy-two.

Her cultivation progress was much faster than Zhang Zhixuan expected. It might not take too long, maybe only a sixty-year period, for Qingchan to break through the Golden Core, and the Zhang family could become a Golden Core family, completely controlling the three counties in the southeast.

With the support of a Jindan cultivator, Zhang Zhixuan and Hanyan's cultivation will become smoother and smoother. With their own talents and roots, they also have a great chance to break through the Jindan stage. If the three of them break through the Jindan stage one after another, the Zhang family will be able to completely control the Qingxuan Sect.

Zhang Zhixuan's success in opening up the Purple Mansion made Zhang Leqian very happy. He didn't like drinking, but he made an exception and let his clansmen drink to their heart's content. Even the mortal towns controlled by the Zhang family were brightly lit at this time, and the government distributed wine and meat to celebrate the success of the family's ancestors in opening up the Purple Mansion.

In just ten years, three people in the Zhang family opened up the Purple Mansion one after another, and they have formed a huge force. Even the Wu family, who have controlled Taicheng County for many years, are far inferior to Tiantai Peak in terms of momentum at this time.

After Zhang Zhixuan opened up the Purple Mansion, the news quickly reached the ears of Jin Laozu. He followed the precedent and wrote a letter, asking Li Zigong to personally deliver it to Lingjing Mountain, inviting Zhang Zhixuan to join the Qingxuan Sect.

Zhang Zhixuan did not refuse. Following the example of You Nianwei, Liang Laozu, Qingchan and others, he served as a guest elder of Qingxuan Sect, which was considered to be a foot in Qingxuan Sect.

Guest elders do not master the practical affairs of the sect, and are not as good as the sect elders in terms of annual good deeds. They also have to work hard for the sect as thugs.

Although there are various disadvantages, it also reduces the entanglement of sect affairs, and can continue to practice with the good deeds system of Qingxuan Sect.

After breaking through the Purple Mansion Realm, Zhang Zhixuan's Tianhuo Jindao Jue has no subsequent exercises. This exercise comes from the Wu Kingdom's casual cultivators, and the subsequent exercises are also difficult to search.

Although Zhang Zhixuan seized a Jindan period exercise from Hongshan Sect in the battle of Taihong Mountain, it is a pity that this exercise mainly cultivates wind spirit roots and is temporarily useless to the Zhang family cultivators.

Zhang Zhixuan is also unlucky. The two exercises in his family that can be cultivated to the Jindan period are suitable for cultivators with different spirit roots. Cultivators with different spiritual roots are very rare. In the past four hundred years, only Zhang Chuyun and Han Yan have left the family. This Jindan-stage technique can only be temporarily forgotten.

Zhang Zhixuan's top priority is to find a suitable technique to practice in Qingxuan Sect.

In order to attract Zhang Zhixuan to join the sect, Qingxuan Sect followed the precedent of Qingchan and rewarded him with 6,000 merits at the beginning of his entry.

Relying on these 6,000 merits, Zhang Zhixuan entered the Qingxuan Sect's Sutra Pavilion and finally chose a technique called Jinyang Leihuo Jue to continue practicing.
