Chapter 340: The Third Floor of Purple Mansion

As for the materials of the fourth-level fire thunder beast, Zhang Zhixuan distributed a large amount of monster meat to Li Jiuxiao and others. Anyway, these monster meats could not be eaten for a while, so these foundation-building cultivators took them all away to make up for the benefits of not getting the red fruit.

The beast skin is very useful to Zhang Zhixuan. It can be used as the main material to refine his life-saving magic weapon, the Golden Sun Thunder Fire Map.

The spirit bones of the monster can also be used to refine the fourth-level array plate. Zhang Zhixuan took them all away and put them into the fourth-level storage bag.

This time, Zhang Zhixuan did not plan to exchange the most precious inner pill of the fire thunder beast to the sect, but to find a way to obtain the recipe of the foundation-building pill. After breaking through the fourth-level alchemist, he would refine a furnace of foundation-building pills to exchange for spiritual objects. Even if it was given to Luo Ziyan to refine the pill, it would give full play to the effect of this inner pill, which was the best choice for Qingxuan Sect. However, after refining the elixir, the Zhang family's share was very small. One fourth-level inner elixir could only be exchanged for one foundation-building elixir, and Zhang Zhixuan could not enjoy the real benefits of this inner elixir.

Although the foundation-building elixir was only of the third-level upper grade and the elixir recipe was widely circulated, it was very difficult to refine, which was of great help to Zhang Zhixuan in improving his alchemy skills.

After waiting for three months in the cave, when all the red fruits were ripe, Zhang Zhixuan asked Li Jiuxiao and others to leave the cave, and then rearranged the restrictions.

Han Jinghong's cave was originally heavily restricted, with two sets of fourth-level formations arranged inside, one of which was a fourth-level spirit gathering formation, used to gather spiritual energy and cultivate spiritual veins.

In order to prevent the leakage of spiritual energy, Han Jinghong also arranged a fourth-level six-yin hiding formation, which not only locked the spiritual machine, but also laid six-yin restrictions outside the cave. If there was no one in the cave to support the formation, Zhang Zhixuan and Qingchan would easily enter the formation and might not be able to escape unscathed.

These two formations were not mentioned in Han Jinghong's books, and Zhang Zhixuan could only barely control them. As for the exquisite changes of the formations, he naturally had no idea.

In addition, Han Jinghong also arranged colorful cloud miasma at the entrance of the cave to prevent the fire thunder beast from going out to hurt people and leak the traces of the cave. This colorful cloud miasma was very toxic, and low-level cultivators could hardly enter the door.

After Li Jiuxiao and others left, Qingchan used the Xuanyin Gourd to lay yellow cloud miasma at the entrance of the cave, also to prevent low-level cultivators from breaking in.

If a family wants to grow and develop, it is inevitable to have three burrows. Zhang Zhixuan plans to keep this cave to arrange another way out for his family.

In the arrangement of the cave, Zhang Zhixuan will naturally pay more attention. After returning to the sect, he plans to let Wang Chengxiang refine a set of fourth-level formations to strengthen the protection here.

There is fire and wood vitality in the red fruit, the whole body is red blood, and it is the size of a longan. When it is cut open, the white kernel and green seeds are very bright.

Zhang Zhixuan ate a Zhu fruit and immediately felt the sweetness and fragrance. For a moment, he was full of aftertaste. A warm and huge vitality emerged from his body.

Zhu fruit can increase mana by ten years. Although the effect is powerful, the fruit is warm. Even if ordinary people take it, it can prolong their lives, with almost no side effects.

Zhang Zhixuan used the method to continuously refine mana, and the endless pure vitality turned into a stream of mana gathered in the dantian.

Although Zhu fruit is delicious, it takes a long time to refine the spiritual fruit. It took Zhang Zhixuan half a year of hard work to refine the first spiritual fruit.

This spiritual fruit is indeed a natural treasure. Zhang Zhixuan's first use of it had an amazing effect. In six months, with the help of the power of Zhu fruit, he broke through a realm and cultivated to the third level of Zifu.

He opened up Zifu for twenty years. With the help of chance, he actually caught up with Han Yan, who had a different spiritual root. If he returned to Qingxuan Sect, it would definitely cause a lot of discussion.

The Zhu fruit tree could not be revealed, and he did not dare to take the Zhu fruit to Yuzhang City to sell. Since he had broken through the realm, Zhang Zhixuan was not going to continue to take the remaining two Zhu fruits. Even if he took all the Zhu fruits, he could not break through to the fourth level of the Purple Mansion. It would be better to let Qingchan and Hanyan taste this rare treasure of heaven and earth.

Although the two did not have fire and wood spiritual roots, Zhu fruit was originally a rare and exotic fruit. Although they were limited by their spiritual roots and could not extract the fire and wood vitality, taking this natural treasure could also make up for the vitality and nourish the five internal organs, which was still beneficial to cultivators.

Moreover, this spiritual fruit was sweet and delicious, and it would be delicious for a lifetime.

Qingchan could not resist Zhang Zhixuan, and took a Zhu fruit. He immediately felt refreshed and his Tao heart was clear. After eating the Zhu fruit, Qingchan sighed reluctantly: "It's a pity that there are only three fruits. I'm afraid it will take a hundred years to eat another fruit."

After Zhang Zhixuan broke through the third level of the Purple Mansion, the two packed up the cave and returned to Yuzhang City immediately.

Since leaving Black Mountain, the two have been away from home for seven years in search of Han Yuzhi.

This year, Han Yuzhi will soon mature. With Han Yuzhi, it will be possible for Zhang Zhixuan to break through to the fourth-level alchemist.

Half a year ago, Li Jiuxiao and the other seven had already returned to their respective families.

These foundation-building cultivators gained a lot of benefits during this trip. Li Jiuxiao and another late-stage foundation-building cultivator also paid a sum of spirit stones and took a fourth-level inferior magic weapon into their pockets.

All seven people signed a blood oath. Unless they could break the blood oath and gain greater benefits, they would not dare to offend Zhang Zhixuan and the other two purple mansion masters, and leak the secrets of the cave to the high-level of Danyang Sect without benefiting others.

Less than three months after returning to Yuzhang City, the Chen family foundation-building sent a letter. After seven years of waiting, Han Yuzhi finally matured this year.

After receiving the news, Zhang Zhixuan excitedly took Qingchan to Woniu Ridge.

Woniu Ridge is a third-grade, mid-quality spiritual vein, like an old cow lying on the ground soundly asleep. The Chen family has been based here for a thousand years.

Although this family is not very powerful, its foundation is relatively solid. There are more than 300 monks in the family.

Because the Song Dynasty had been at peace for many years, the Chen family had more than 400,000 mortals. Near Woniuling, the Chen family had built seven towns and opened up a lot of farmland. It seemed to be more prosperous and wealthy than near Lushan County.

Woniuling is less than eight thousand miles away from Yuzhang City. For the Zifu monks, the distance is relatively close. Zhang Zhixuan and his two men arrived at this spiritual peak in less than a day's walk.

When they arrived at Woniuling, the two of them escaped from the light and sent a transmission note.

In an instant, a spiritual light shot straight into the clouds and fell directly into the mountain-protecting formation.

Chen Zongxing, the head of the Chen family, did not dare to neglect, and immediately opened the formation and brought the backbone of the family to greet Zhang Zhixuan and the others.

Zhang Zhixuan cupped his hands and said: "I heard from Fellow Daoist Chen the day before yesterday that Han Yuzhi has matured. After many years of waiting, the results have finally come. I'm so excited that I came uninvited. Please don't take offense, Fellow Daoist Chen."

Seeing that Zhang Zhixuan's posture was relatively low, Chen Zongxing said with a panic look on his face: "Senior Zhang is too polite, please come inside."

Later, Chen Zongxing brought Zhang Zhixuan to the elixir garden with a humble face.

Zhang Zhixuan looked up and found that the scale of the Chen family's elixir garden was larger than that of the Zhang family, and the cultivation of the elixir garden and the spiritual field looked better.

When Zhang Zhixuan arrived at the elixir garden, he looked up and found three fourth-level elixirs. The mature one was Han Yuzhi, which he had been searching for for many years.
