Chapter 358 Preparing for the Trade Fair

Refining the foundation-building pill is the greatest prosperity of the Zhang family in the past few hundred years. In order to witness this moment, Sihong, Tonghuai and others also asked for leave from Guiyuan Mountain, Chaoyin Mountain and other places and waited outside the alchemy room early.

Everyone was relieved when they heard that the elixir had been refined. This time, not counting the fourth-level demon pill, the auxiliary spiritual medicine alone consumed 20,000 spiritual stones. Once the elixir failed, I am afraid that the deficit could not be made up within ten years.

The last time he went to Song State, Zhang Zhixuan got Xuanying Jade Marrow in exchange for Wei Bohan's 100,000 spiritual stones. This windfall was deposited in the Black Mountain Cave Mansion by him. Except for Qingchan and Hanyan, no one else knew about it.

The 20,000 spiritual stones used to refine the foundation-building pill have been accumulated by Black Mountain for more than ten years. Once the elixir fails, the loss is unbearable.

Since Zhang Zhixuan established his foundation, the Zhang family has obtained eight foundation-building pills in nearly ninety years, two of which came from the Black Mountain Patriarch Liang, and the remaining six were rewards from the Qingxuan Sect.

In all the wars, the Zhang family cultivators fought for the Qingqing Xuan Sect. Especially after Qingchan opened up the Purple Mansion, they took advantage of the invasion of the Southern Wilderness monsters and killed five fourth-level monsters one after another. Each foundation-building pill was almost equivalent to an opponent of the same level.

In the past few decades, five cultivators in the family have taken the foundation-building pill. Except for Siming who failed to build a foundation, the remaining four lived up to expectations and succeeded in building a foundation.

Three foundation-building pills were refined, plus the three preserved by the family, the Zhang family has stored six foundation-building pills.

Although the Zhang family has developed smoothly in recent years, there are still very few family elders who can gather three thousand good deeds, and they simply cannot hoard so many foundation-building pills at once.

Even if the foundation-building pills are exhausted in the future, Zhang Zhixuan and the other two will find a way to hunt fourth-level monsters and refine foundation-building pills to make up for the shortage.

The Black Mountain Patriarch Liang can open a furnace to refine a furnace of foundation-building pills every sixty years. There is no reason why the three purple mansions of the Zhang family cannot compare with the Liang Patriarch.

Zhang Zhixuan is ready to exchange the three foundation-building pills he refined this time for various high-level spiritual objects.

Black Mountain has a tradition of selling foundation-building pills, and the last Black Mountain Conference has been over for seventy years.

This time, the pill was successfully refined, and Zhang Zhixuan is ready to continue to hold the Black Mountain Conference and continue this event.

Suppressing the joy in his heart, Zhang Zhixuan swept his consciousness and found that Qingchan's cultivation had actually improved a step.

After returning to Black Mountain, she immediately refined the Qingling True Water and successfully broke through the bottleneck with the help of the power of the True Water. After only thirty-five years of opening up the Purple Mansion, her cultivation has reached the seventh level of the Purple Mansion, catching up with many old Purple Mansions in Qingxuan Sect.

There are very few cultivators in the late Purple Mansion in the entire Qingxuan Sect, and there are only four now, including Qingchan.

Among them, Zhu Wuya has the highest cultivation, having cultivated to the ninth level of the Purple Mansion for thirty years, and Hu Peiyu is at the eighth level of the Purple Mansion, and should be able to cultivate to the ninth level of the Purple Mansion in a few years. The remaining two are Qingchan and Luo Ziyan, who are at the seventh level of the Purple Mansion.

However, Luo Ziyan opened up the Purple Mansion at the age of 170, and she was already about 300 years old when she cultivated to the seventh level of the Purple Mansion. Naturally, her future prospects are far from comparable to Qingchan. I am afraid that in another 30 years, Qingchan will be able to break through the Golden Core and become another pillar of the sect.

Seeing Qingchan's rapid progress in cultivation, Zhang Zhixuan was immediately filled with emotion. The little girl he brought back out of weakness back then really became the biggest pillar of the family.

Everyone returned to the cave on the top of the mountain together. Zhang Zhixuan asked Zhang Guangyang to pass the message through the channel of the Treasure Pavilion, and then personally wrote more than a dozen letters for Sihong to bring to the foundation-building families in the three southeastern counties, and even the cultivators in Jiangnan County. Zhang Zhixuan also asked Tonghuai to go to Yuntaifang to spread the news and prepare to hold the Black Mountain Conference in half a year.

This conference basically follows the previous example, using three foundation-building pills to exchange various precious spiritual objects. These spiritual objects can be secret manuals of exercises, or natural treasures that increase cultivation, and high-quality spiritual stones. As long as Zhang Zhixuan is satisfied, he can get the foundation-building pill.

If a casual cultivator seized the foundation-building pill, as long as he was willing to build a foundation on the Black Mountain, Zhang Zhixuan would provide him with a cave for free and provide him with protection.

After deciding this matter, Zhang Zhixuan had just had some free time when someone suddenly sent him a sound transmission talisman. He scanned it with his spiritual sense and found that the person was his second disciple Wu Xianlong.

"Xianlong came here today, I'm afraid he is planning to build a foundation." Zhang Zhixuan thought to himself and immediately opened the ban.

Wu Xianlong has been a disciple of Zhang Zhixuan for ten years. He has been practicing to the ninth level of Qi training for twelve years, and his foundation has been very solid.

Since accepting the disciple, Zhang Zhixuan went to Song State and had little time to teach his disciples. They mainly relied on their eldest disciple Feng Jizong for their difficulties in cultivation.

After ten years of hard practice, Feng Jizong has already built the second level of foundation. As Zhang Zhixuan's direct disciple, he also has many benefits in practicing on the Black Mountain. Not only is there a cave to rent for free, but there is also a subsidy of more than one acre of spiritual field.

In addition, if he encounters any difficulties, he can consult Zhang Zhixuan. Even if the master is not around, he can ask for help from Hanyan Patriarch.

If possible, Feng Jizong also wants to practice in Heishan for his whole life, but unfortunately he had to return to Qingxuan Sect five years ago to accept the sect's mission.

Because Zhang's Sanzifu was on good terms with Wu Siheng, Feng Jizong went to Guiyuan Mountain to guard it. With Wu Siheng's care and Zhang Sihong's help, Feng Jizong quickly gained a foothold in Guiyuan Mountain.

However, guarding Guiyuan Mountain is a long-term task, which will take at least 30 years. If Feng Jizong wants to come back, it will take at least 25 years.

Let Wu Xianlong sit down, Zhang Zhixuan asked kindly: "Xianlong came here today to make plans for foundation building!"

After accepting the disciple, the two parties had relatively little contact. Wu Xianlong also said with some restraint: "Reporting to Master, I am indeed planning to return to the sect to redeem the Foundation Establishment Pill."

Zhang Zhixuan asked with concern: "Have you done enough good deeds to redeem the Foundation Establishment Pill?"

Although Wu Xianlong is the younger generation of Wu Siheng, Wu Siheng has many descendants, some of whom still have spiritual roots. In addition, he has to help support the Wu family, which may not be enough for Wu Xianlong to redeem the foundation-building pills.

Wu Xianlong said: "It's still a little short of that, but I've been practicing to the ninth level of Qi training for more than ten years, and I've also learned a little alchemy myself. If I borrow some from the master, it should be enough."

Seeing that Wu Xianlong was not polite, Zhang Zhixuan also smiled with satisfaction and said: "When I went to the Song Dynasty some time ago, I exchanged the sect's good deeds for spiritual stones. Counting Qingchan and Hanyan's offerings this year, I only have three thousand good deeds now, and I will lend them to you. Don’t know if it’s enough? If not, don’t worry, I’ll borrow some from you, Master Wei, and I’ll always prepare a foundation-building pill for you.”

Hearing that Zhang Zhixuan could borrow three thousand meritorious deeds, Wu Xianlong immediately nodded happily and said: "That's enough, Master. Before I became a master, my ancestors gave me five thousand meritorious deeds. Plus the subsidies for my alchemy in Montenegro over the years, I have already raised With more than 7,000 good deeds, including the three thousand good deeds from Master, I am quite confident about redeeming the Foundation Establishment Pill."

The two masters and apprentices discussed it all morning. Seeing that Wu Xianlong was about to leave, Zhang Zhixuan finally told him, "Li Zigong and I are a bit dirty. You are my disciple. You may suffer some losses when you line up. When you go back this time, you can find Wu." Ancestor, let him speak for you to prevent Li Zigong from deliberately delaying the exchange. If it is not your turn to redeem this time, you can exchange your good deeds for spiritual stones. I will find a way to leave you a foundation stone from Black Mountain. Dan, I won’t let you delay building the foundation.”
