Chapter 346 Zhang Guangyang builds his foundation

After refining the life-saving magic weapon, Zhang Zhixuan went to Qingxuan Sect again and asked Wang Chengxiang to refine a set of fourth-level formations to be arranged in Han Jinghong's cave.

Han Jinghong's cave is not only a fourth-level lower-grade spiritual vein, but also has a red fruit tree as a spiritual gathering object. As the red fruit tree continues to grow, the spiritual vein of this cave will gradually increase, and in the long run, its value will exceed that of Black Mountain.

The location of this cave is known to seven foundation-building cultivators. Although these people are restricted by their oaths and will not do things that harm others and benefit themselves. However, once someone successfully opens up the purple mansion, they may choose to turn against each other and fight for this spiritual vein.

The formation arranged outside the cave cannot stop the enemies of the purple mansion period. Once someone breaks into the formation and occupies the cave, even if Zhang Zhixuan and the others have higher cultivation, it will be difficult to recapture the cave.

Han Jinghong is a fourth-level upper-grade formation master. The formation he arranged is very clever. There are two formations in the cave, the secret formation and the spiritual gathering formation, which can already block a large part of the enemies. The spiritual energy in the cave house hardly leaked out. If Li Jiuxiao and others hadn't been very lucky, they might not have discovered this treasure land.

However, the formation arranged by Han Jinghong in the cave house had been explored by seven foundation-building cultivators. Zhang Zhixuan felt a little unsafe and prepared to arrange another fourth-level formation as a trump card.

The Zhang family has been in Black Mountain for more than 20 years, and a lot of materials have been accumulated in the Black Mountain Treasury. In addition to the spirit bones of the fourth-level thunder and fire beast, it is enough for Zhang Zhixuan to refine a fourth-level formation. Although there are many materials, it is very convenient to carry them with the floating cloud boat in hand. Zhang Zhixuan took them all to Qingxuan Sect and handed them to Wang Chengxiang.

It takes a long time to refine a fourth-level formation. Even though Zhang Zhixuan provided all the materials, it took Wang Chengxiang half a year to refine the formation.

Compared with Luo Ziyan and Zhou Zijian, Wang Chengxiang is a rarer formation master, but in terms of the speed of earning good deeds, he is not as fast as the previous two. Even compared with the fourth-level talisman maker Li Zigong, Wang Chengxiang is still a pauper.

Cultivators who settle in the sect basically do not need the fourth-level formation to defend their caves. Cultivators who settle outside can use a set of defensive formations for hundreds of years. Compared with the loss of elixirs and magic tools, the profession of formation master does not have enough cultivators of the same level and a large enough market, so it can't make much profit at all.

It takes two thousand merits to give Wang Chengxiang to refine a set of fourth-level formations. Although the price is very high, Zhang Zhixuan still did not hesitate to spend two thousand merits to entrust Wang Chengxiang to refine a set of formations with powerful lethality.

After dealing with this matter, Zhang Zhixuan planned to wait until the formation was refined, and then raise some spiritual stones to go to Yuzhang City again to buy auxiliary spiritual medicines for refining foundation-building pills and prepare to refine the first furnace of foundation-building pills in his life.

He had just returned to Heishan when someone sent a sound transmission talisman. Zhang Zhixuan opened it and found that the sender was Zhang Guangyang.

He calculated the time and it was almost the age limit for Zhang Guangyang to build his foundation.

More than eighty years after he established his foundation, the Zhang family has successively obtained eight foundation-building pills, of which Sihong, Tonghuai, Sijin, and Siming have taken four. Since Zhang Leqian passed away, the remaining four foundation-building pills have been kept in the Black Mountain Cave.

Summoning Zhang Guangyang into the cave, Zhang Zhixuan said without any politeness: "Have you brought the key to the Nine Palace Box?"

"I brought it, ancestor." Zhang Guangyang took out a key from the storage bag and quickly handed it to Zhang Zhixuan.

Zhang Guangyang, a cultivator with three spiritual roots, is now forty-three years old and has been practicing to the ninth level of Qi training for almost seven years.

Now that the Zhang family is becoming more and more powerful, the family has more and more resources. Compared with the cultivators of the Meng and Zhi generations, the younger generations of cultivators often have more resources in the early stages of cultivation. Some cultivators with good spiritual roots will be taken care of by the family, and their progress in cultivation is much faster than that of their elders.

For example, Zhang Guangyang, who was only thirty-six years old, practiced to the ninth level of Qi training, which is not far behind Zhang Mengling, who has two spiritual roots.

In the era when the monks of the Meng and Zhi generations were cultivating, monks with three spiritual roots could only reach this realm when they were in their forties.

Zhang Zhixuan scanned the area with his spiritual sense, smiled faintly and said: "It seems that the foundation is already quite solid, the self-control is not bad, and the Yuanyang has not been lost. The foundation building is now quite confident."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Zhixuan took out three keys to open the Nine Palace Box, and then took out the foundation building pill and said: "For this foundation building pill, many people in your grandfather's family were killed or injured. The Baibao Pavilion in our family used to be the property of the Wang family. After you build your foundation, you will be in charge of the Black Mountain's miscellaneous affairs. I hope you will not disappoint your grandfather's expectations and succeed in building your foundation with only one foundation building pill."

Zhang Guangyang knelt on his knees, respectfully took this precious elixir, and said loudly: "Please rest assured, great uncle, Guangyang will definitely break through the realm during this retreat."

Zhang Zhixuan said: "It is a good thing to have this confidence, but don't be careless when building the foundation. You must be brave and diligent, but also cautious."

Zhang Guangyang is different from other cultivators in the family. He does not need good deeds to exchange for this foundation building pill. His ancestor Wang Luyuan also accumulated a lot of merits. Although Wang Luyuan passed away when he was young, his situation was much better than that of cultivators without ancestors to rely on.

Even if he failed to build his foundation this time, he could still collect 3,000 merits before he turned 60 and exchange them for the second foundation-building pill.

Because of this situation, Zhang Guangyang was very confident, and his confidence was no less than Zhang Tonghuai. After getting the foundation-building pill, Zhang Guangyang rented a cave in Black Mountain and immediately chose to retreat.

Half a year later, a stream of spiritual energy gathered in his cave. Zhang Zhixuan scanned it with his spiritual sense and smiled a little, saying, "This kid has successfully built his foundation."

He built his foundation smoothly and completed this step step by step, becoming the fifth foundation-building cultivator in the Zhang family.

After Zhang Guangyang built his foundation, Zhang Zhixuan planned to let him stay in Black Mountain for a long time and be responsible for managing the Baibao Pavilion industry.

Over the years, Baibao Pavilion's huge business has almost been managed by cultivators of the ninth level of Qi training.

Limited by their cultivation and knowledge, it is often difficult for cultivators of the Qi training stage to manage such a large industry. In particular, Baibao Pavilion often deals with cultivators of the foundation-building stage. Zhang Tongning, who is at the ninth level of Qi training, lacks confidence and has to trouble Zhang Zhixuan and the other two for big and small things. It has affected their normal cultivation, and sometimes Zhang Zhixuan is overwhelmed. However, the family's stall is too big, and there are not enough foundation-building cultivators. He is not like Liang Laozu who has disciples to help support the door, so he can only barely maintain it like this.

Now that Zhang Guangyang is building his foundation, there is just enough time for a cultivator in the foundation-building stage to take over the management of this industry for the three of them, which can save them a lot of time.
