Chapter 313 Black Mountain Rescue

As the green dragon fled, a crane and an eagle were killed by everyone. The remaining monsters were no match for the cultivators. The fourth-level green fox was also killed by everyone. The monster army quickly fled and became materials in the hands of the Black Mountain cultivators.

Zhang Zhixuan's five purple palaces killed all the monsters above the third level separately, and left the remaining low-level monsters to the Black Mountain cultivators who went on the expedition. These monster materials are very valuable and will become spiritual objects for Zhang Zhixuan to reward.

This battle was protected by the Black Light Cloud Sea Formation, and there were many foundation-building cultivators, so not many people were lost. Only a dozen Qi training cultivators were injured or killed.

The green dragon besieged Black Mountain for several months, which made Zhang Zhixuan very uncomfortable at one time. Unfortunately, it failed to break the defense formation and caused too many casualties to the Black Mountain cultivators. In total, it only caused the death of more than 30 Qi training cultivators.

Without the loss of foundation-building personnel, Zhang Zhixuan would not need to give the foundation-building pill. Without this big head, Zhang Zhixuan would not need to give too many spiritual objects for rewarding merit.

After the war, Zhang Zhixuan only gave away half of the materials of monsters below the third level to appease the monks on Black Mountain.

As for the materials of the third-level monsters, they were all rewarded by Zhang Zhixuan to a group of foundation-building cultivators, and the four fourth-level monsters were also given to Luo Ziyan and Zhou Zijian one each.

Except for the fourth-level late white crane, the inner pills of the monsters have been exchanged by Zhang Zhixuan for the sect's good deeds, ready to be used as the main medicine for refining foundation pills. As for the inner pill of the white crane, because it carries a strong poison, it cannot be used to refine elixirs. After Zhou Zijian's identification, it can be refined into a magic weapon.

Zhou Zijian is a fourth-level middle-grade weapon refiner. Among the more than a dozen purple mansions in Qingxuan Sect, only Zhou Zijian has the most brilliant weapon refining skills. A large part of the magic weapons of the sect's purple mansion cultivators come from Zhou Zijian's hands.

Zhou Zijian finally came to Black Mountain once, and Zhang Zhixuan certainly would not miss this opportunity. He paid a high price of 3,000 good deeds and invited Zhou Zijian to refine the materials on the fourth-level white crane into a magic weapon.

Although the white crane is in the late fourth stage, its flesh and blood are highly toxic and cannot be taken at all, and even its fur cannot be used to make talismans. After Zhou Zijian carefully thought about it, he finally used the materials of the fourth-level white crane to upgrade the grades of the two magic tools.

Zhou Zijian used the Xuanyin gourd to refine the inner elixir of the white crane and upgraded the grade of this magic tool to the fourth-level lower grade.

The materials of this magic tool itself are very good. After refining the inner elixir of the white crane, the Xuanyin true water in the gourd also contains a strong and strange poison. Even if a purple mansion cultivator does not have a fourth-level detoxification pill in hand, it is easy to be plotted by the poisoned water in the gourd. Although the grade of this magic tool is low, it is very difficult to deal with.

In addition, Zhou Zijian also boiled the blood, flesh and bones of the white crane into venom and refined it on the black cloud peach blossom miasma, making the power of the miasma more powerful, and upgrading the grade of this magic tool to the fourth-level middle grade.

It has been three months since the two magic tools were refined.

During these three months, the Qing Jiao had not appeared. Without the protection of the Qing Jiao, the Black Mountain monks went out in large numbers and almost wiped out the monsters within 3,000 miles. Not only did they obtain a large amount of monster materials, but they also greatly improved the environment around Black Mountain. The next time the monster army besieged Black Mountain may be more than a hundred years later.

After resolving the crisis of Black Mountain, Zhang Zhixuan Wu Zifu handed the task of guarding Black Mountain to Su Heng, Zhang Leqian and others, and then returned to the sect with Qingxuan Sect to build the foundation, and then went to Yuntai Mountain to meet with Jin Laozu.

It has been two years since Laozu Lu of Guiyuan Mountain was trapped by monsters. During these two years, Qingxuan Sect and Guiyuan Mountain have been in contact with each other relying on the relationship of the spiritual jade book.

Although Guiyuan Mountain has been difficult in the past two years, it is still as stable as Mount Tai with the defense of the fifth-level formation. Even if the two monsters, the wild boar king and the blue ape, have tried their best, they cannot break through the defensive formation of Guiyuan Mountain.

However, Lu Hongniang was also unable to defeat the combined forces of the Cang Yuan and the Wild Boar King in a field battle, and could only hold off the monsters and wait for the help of the sect.

The five returned to the sect, put the fourth-level monster materials into the sect treasury, and then went straight to Yuntai Mountain to meet with Patriarch Jin. If Patriarch Jin could make a move, they would have a way to repel the siege of the Wild Boar King and rescue Patriarch Lu who was trapped in Guiyuan Mountain.

When passing by Chaoyin Mountain, Luo Ziyan also left some fourth-level elixirs for strengthening the foundation and nourishing the essence, and gave them to Han Wangpeng and Wei Bohan who were injured in defending Taicheng County.

Han Wangpeng's injury was not serious, only the loss of vitality, and he could recover in three to five years of recuperation.

Wei Bohan's injury was very troublesome. He was injured by the true fire of the monster, and his left hand was burned. Even on his flesh, there were pieces of severe burns. The severity of his injury was no less than that of Mu Huaishan back then. If he wanted to fight with others again, he would have to recuperate for at least thirty years.

The most taboo thing for cultivators is physical disability, especially for low-level cultivators, which will definitely affect their path. After this battle, Wei Bohan has no hope of making further progress.

The five people came to Yuntai Mountain and saw the pale-faced Jin Patriarch. Seeing this scene, Zhang Zhixuan and the other five looked at each other in bewilderment. They didn't know the battle report of the three northern counties. Until now, they still didn't know that Jin Patriarch had been injured and Sun Changgeng had returned to the underworld.

Soon, with Jin Patriarch's narration, they understood the battle situation of the three northern counties clearly.

"Master Jin, is your injury serious? Can you still take action and lead us to rescue Master Lu?" Among the few people, Luo Ziyan had the highest cultivation. She didn't say anything polite and directly asked the few people's thoughts.

Master Jin's face was bitter and said, "I'm afraid it will take three to five years to recuperate. Even if my injury is not a problem, it will be difficult to free up my hands with Yang Wangyuan and Shen Chenzhou restraining me."

"Uncle Jin, let me say one more thing. We have been too greedy these years. We have occupied a large number of spiritual veins in the north and south, and dispersed the power of the sect everywhere. Now we are passive everywhere and cannot concentrate our power in one place. If this situation is not resolved, there will still be big troubles in the next two-front war." Luo Ziyan has a special status in Qingxuan Sect. She is the only cultivator in the sect who can refine a large number of foundation-building pills. The inheritance of the sect is almost pinned on her, so she speaks in a somewhat blunt tone.

"You don't know the daily necessities of life until you run the household. In recent decades, the sect has added hundreds of foundation-building cultivators, three purple palaces, and one golden elixir cultivator. These cultivators will increase their offerings by 40,000 spirit stones every year. 40,000 spirit stones may not seem like much, but if we can't increase revenue and reduce expenditure, it will be a huge hole of 4 million spirit stones in a hundred years. The Yuntaishan Market can bring the sect a profit of 20,000 spirit stones a year, and the spirit stone mine in Chaoyin Mountain can make up for this gap for the sect, so these two places must not be abandoned, otherwise the sect will be unable to make ends meet and will soon be unable to pay tribute." Jin Laozu's words made everyone look at each other in bewilderment. Even if they wanted to refute, they couldn't find a reason.

The situation is already like this, and the cultivators who rely on Qingxuan Sect can only go with the flow.

The interests of the north cannot be abandoned. Nanhuang Guiyuan Mountain is the spiritual mountain where Lu Laozu practiced Taoism, and it is also the second fifth-level spiritual vein of the sect. The sect has invested hundreds of thousands of spirit stones in Guiyuan Mountain, so it cannot be easily let go. Therefore, the sect could only grit its teeth and hold on, blocking the enemies from both the north and the south.
