Chapter 299 Black Mountain’s New Master

After Patriarch Liang passed away, Lu Hongniang left Black Mountain on the same day. The fifth-level iron-backed ape was eyeing her, and Guiyuan Mountain could not leave her, a golden elixir cultivator, for a long time.

Three days later, Kang Duhe came to Black Mountain after a long journey, only to find that his most respected master had passed away after running out of life.

Although it had been expected for so many years, this heavy blow still made Kang Duhe unable to breathe.

In a state of confusion, he followed the trend and attended his master's funeral. In a state of confusion, he followed Wei Boxan back to Qingxuan Sect.

He had three fourth-level magic weapons on his body, and his own cultivation had not broken through the Zifu. It was not safe to live alone in Qingliang Mountain. In the end, he followed the advice of his senior brother and returned to the safer Qingyang Mountain to practice under the protection of Wei Bohan. .

As soon as Patriarch Liang left, Zhang Zhixuan was already the new owner of Black Mountain. When Wei Bohan left, Zhang Zhixuan personally came down the mountain to see him off.

"Junior Brother Zhang, after returning to the sect this time, I am ready to become an elder of the sect and fully integrate into the sect. Black Mountain is Master's lifelong effort. I hope you can develop Black Mountain and prevent this spiritual mountain from falling into the mouth of monsters again. ”

Zhang Zhixuan said confidently: "Senior brother Wei, don't worry, as long as I am here, Black Mountain will be as stable as Mount Tai. Senior brother Wei should be more careful along the way, especially senior brother Kang. After arriving at Qingyang Mountain, he will retreat with peace of mind. Don't leave the mountain gate without breaking through Zifu." ”

After the death of Patriarch Liang, this place has lost its special meaning in Wei Bohan's heart. He clearly knew that even if the Black Mountain Spiritual Veins were given to him, his fellow apprentices would not be able to keep it.

Wei Boxan nodded silently, exchanged words of respect with Zhang Zhixuan, and left Montenegro without a trace of nostalgia.

After sending Brother Wei Bohan away, Luo Ziyan also left Black Mountain with her disciple Liang Yuxian and returned to Qingxuan Sect.

As for the four remaining disciples of Patriarch Liang, Liang Hanyang and other family descendants, they are not planning to move to Qingxuan Sect, but are still practicing on Black Mountain.

After the funeral, Zhang Zhixuan, in accordance with Patriarch Liang's last wish, used Samadhi True Fire to refine his bones and buried him on the top of Black Mountain.

Patriarch Liang is already a top monk in the Purple Mansion, and his physical body has been cultivated to be very strong. If the bones are stolen by the demonic monks, he can immediately refine a powerful corpse.

Even if Zhang Zhixuan used Samadhi True Fire, it took him half an hour to incinerate Patriarch Liang's bones and eliminate this hidden danger.

After burying Patriarch Liang, Zhang Zhixuan immediately transferred more than thirty monks from the Zhang family to Black Mountain, along with the old patriarch Zhang Leqian.

Liang Patriarch's longevity was exhausted, which made Zhang Leqian feel like a rabbit has died and a fox is sad. He is now 221 years old. In his early years, his vitality and image were severely damaged. If Zhang Zhixuan hadn't found a thousand-year-old spiritual milk to replenish it for him, I am afraid that part of the loss will be passed away before Patriarch Liang.

After arriving in Black Mountain, Zhang Leqian paid homage to Patriarch Liang's grave and said with emotion: "I also practiced in Black Mountain in my early years and was protected by Patriarch Liang. I never expected that such a powerful monk could still not survive the passage of time. , still turned into a handful of loess."

Zhang Zhixuan felt that his third uncle was in a heavy mood and silently followed him back to the top of the mountain.

The cave of Patriarch Liang on the top of the mountain has changed its owner. Zhang Zhixuan and Qing Chan handed over the things that Patriarch Liang used to Liang Hanyang a few days ago, then arranged new furniture and moved it to the peak of Black Mountain, where the spiritual energy is most abundant.

Zhang Zhixuan still has more than 300 years of life and does not understand the mood of monks like Zhang Leqian who are about to run out of life.

After he took over Montenegro, he has been very busy recently and began to count the properties and costs required in Montenegro.

Heishan has been operating for nearly four hundred years, and more than 600 acres of spiritual land have been cultivated, which is almost equal to the combined total of the Zhang, Wu, and Liu families.

However, most of these spiritual fields are scattered in rented caves, and less than half of them can be farmed by Zhang Zhixuan, about 280 acres.

Although the 280 acres of spiritual land is not of high quality, it can still produce 40,000 kilograms of spiritual rice every year. According to the price of food in Montenegro, it can earn a profit of about 3,000 spiritual stones every year.

There are also 13 acres of elixir garden on Black Mountain. The level of the spiritual fields in the elixir garden has reached the third level. There is no additional cost to plant the third-level elixir. However, due to the locust chaos in the East Antarctic, the elixir garden has been planted for many years. The elixir had already been swept away.

Although the elixir garden is now full of spiritual herbs, it is a pity that the elixirs are only more than thirty years old. The third-level elixirs are often a hundred years old. These elixirs can only be regarded as seedlings, and they still need many years of investment before they mature.

Although the elixir garden is very valuable, it cannot bring profits to Zhang Zhixuan in a short period of time.

There are nine third-level spiritual veins around Heishan. The owners of these third-level spiritual veins have moved to Jiangkou, Jiangnan and other counties. The spiritual veins have become an ownerless land and were taken back by Zhang Zhixuan. Heishan is prepared to restore its momentum in the future and reward those who have meritorious service.

Among these spiritual veins, the one with the best quality is Hanjiaotan. A large number of Xuanyou grasses are planted in Hanjiaotan. Thirty of them mature every year. They are refined into Youhuan Dan and can be brought to Heishan every year. Come to the profit of one thousand two hundred spirit stones.

Hanjiaotan Spiritual Meridian has always been under the control of Yu Jinglong, the fifth disciple of Patriarch Liang. Yu Jinglong is regarded as the leading art master and joined the sect of Patriarch Liang as a casual cultivator. Although he ranks fifth, he is older than Kang Duhe. In his thirties, he is now one hundred and sixty-three years old, and his cultivation level has reached the eighth level.

Zhang Zhixuan would naturally not give such a large source of income to Yu Jinglong. After the death of Liang Laozu, Zhang Zhixuan discussed with his disciples and let them become the guest officials of Heishan, and they could get 300 good deeds every year. The spiritual fields in their caves were also completely handed over to them for cultivation, but all the resources of Heishan they occupied had to be returned to the public.

Without the income from transporting spiritual rice to the Southern Wilderness, the white jade beehive had also withered, and the Zhang family's annual income had been reduced by 400 spiritual stones. The profit in a year was not enough for Zhang Zhixuan and Qingchan, two purple mansion cultivators.

Fortunately, with the Heishan spiritual vein, Zhang Zhixuan and the others did not need to refine spiritual stones to replenish their mana, which could reduce a considerable burden on the family.

In addition, the most important income of Heishan was the rent of the market, because the number of Heishan cultivators had dropped significantly, and the rent of the market had fallen by half.

According to the current market conditions, more than a hundred shops only have a rent of 6,000 spiritual stones per year. Half of this source of income should be divided among the Liang family to support the cultivation of Liang Laozu's clan.

In addition, more than 2,000 cultivators on the Black Mountain rented more than 1,300 caves in total, although most of them were low-level caves that cost one spirit stone per year. However, in a year, by renting out caves, the Black Mountain can also collect 2,400 spirit stones in rent.

Adding some miscellaneous income, Zhang Zhixuan roughly calculated that the Black Mountain can bring him tens of thousands of spirit stones in a year.

However, if you want to operate this spiritual mountain, the expenses are also very high. In order to maintain the fifth-level formation, 6,600 spirit stones are consumed every year.

In addition, 1,200 spirit stones must be offered to the four disciples of Liang Laozu every year. It also takes hundreds of cultivators to cultivate spiritual fields, guard the market, run shops, and take care of the spiritual medicine garden. Their annual good deeds also require about 3,000 spirit stones.

In this way, the huge Black Mountain spiritual vein only brings about 1,000 spirit stones to the Zhang family every year. However, practicing in the Black Mountain, the two can save thousands of spirit stones a year. In the long run, this is also a huge resource.

If Heishan becomes more and more prosperous, the rents of shops in the market will continue to rise, and the benefits obtained by the Zhang family will be greatly increased.
