Chapter 4 Sutra Hall

There are three places with the most abundant spiritual energy on the entire Lushan Mountain. One is in the back mountain, which is used to support the cultivation of the clan leader.

Another place is the Moon-Watching Pavilion, which is mainly used to support the cultivation of underage family cultivators and elderly cultivators.

The remaining place is on the top of the mountain, where almost all adult cultivators living at the mountain gate cultivate.

Zhang Zhixuan moved his footsteps lightly. He could move three meters away at a speed by lightly touching the ground. This is the benefit of practicing the light body technique.

A cultivator like him who is at the sixth level of Qi training can travel three hundred miles in an hour if he rushes at full speed, which is not much slower than the car in his previous life.

Unfortunately, his mana is still a little insufficient. If he runs at full speed, his mana will slowly run out in just two hours.

In less than half a quarter of an hour, Zhang Zhixuan has arrived at the top of the mountain.

There are more than a dozen tall green bamboos standing on the top of the mountain. These dozen green bamboos are not ordinary things, but the second-level top-grade spiritual wood Qingling Yuzhu.

The cultivation of cultivators is divided into nine levels: Xiantian, Qi training, foundation building, purple mansion, golden elixir, Yuanying, Yuanshen, returning to the void, and Hedao.

Spiritual herbs and trees are also divided into nine levels according to their spiritual energy and efficacy. Among them, the ninth level is the highest and has long been extinct in this world. Even the seventh-level spiritual wood has been rare in the past tens of thousands of years.

Under each level, there are three grades.

If these dozen beads of second-level high-quality spiritual wood Qingling Yuzhu are refined into magic tools, they can add a second-level high-quality magic sword to every cultivator in the family.

These green bamboos are scattered and the planting site of each green bamboo has been carefully selected and located in a place with abundant spiritual energy.

After the family's arrangement, these green bamboos have been arranged into a third-level low-quality formation, Qingguang Bamboo Sea Formation.

As long as there is a Qi training cultivator holding a formation flag under each Qingling Yuzhu, relying on this third-level low-quality formation, it can easily resist the attack of a cultivator in the early stage of foundation building.

Zhang Zhixuan took a closer look and found that there was a golden cushion under each green jade bamboo. A dozen monks over 30 years old sat on the cushions motionlessly, practicing quietly.

Zhang Zhixuan took out a jade talisman from his waist and slightly transmitted a trace of magic power. A faint spiritual light was emitted from the jade talisman and shot directly into the formation.

In an instant, a dozen green bamboos swayed gently, and the spiritual light emitted a few waves, and then a gate suddenly appeared in the open space in front.

Zhang Zhixuan walked along the gate for more than 30 steps and walked directly into a hall more than 18 feet high.

There were dozens of books in the hall, and more than a dozen jade slips were placed in the front. This hall was the most important building of the Zhang family, the Sutra Pavilion.

The second elder of the family, a cultivator of the ninth level of Qi training, Zhang Mengling, who was less than 50 years old, was sitting on the top of the hall.

Zhang Mengling's qualifications were also extraordinary. He was a cultivator of the second spiritual root and had practiced to the ninth level of Qi training for more than ten years.

Unfortunately, the family power has declined in recent years, and there is no ability to provide him with foundation-building pills.

Under normal circumstances, Zhang Mengling may have to wait for another ten years.

After the age of sixty, the qi and blood of a Qi-training cultivator will gradually deplete, and the confidence in building a foundation will become less and less, and the probability of success will become lower and lower.

Although Zhang Mengling has extraordinary spiritual roots, he dare not take the risk of building a foundation without the help of a foundation-building pill.

It has always been extremely dangerous for a cultivator to build a foundation. Without the assistance of a foundation-building pill, a slight mistake may be life-threatening.

A cultivator like him will only take the risk of building a foundation when he is about sixty years old and has no choice.

"Uncle Nineteen asked me to come here. Is there anything to arrange?" Zhang Zhixuan looked at Zhang Mengling and asked.

"In the recent period, the seventh, eleventh, thirteenth, seventeenth, and ninth have to return to the mountain. The family has some industries outside the mountain and cannot be left unattended.

So I can only trouble my nephew to go down the mountain and hold on for a while." Zhang Mengling arched his hands and said with a pleasant face.

"After going down the mountain, what should I do with the subsequent cultivation techniques of my nephew?" Zhang Zhixuan asked.

"You can copy the subsequent cultivation techniques of the Fiery Shining Gold Technique for the Qi training period, and you can also freely choose five spells in the Sutra Pavilion for your subsequent cultivation."

In the entire Zhang family, apart from the patriarch, Zhang Mengling has the most say. According to the family rules, Zhang Zhixuan still has two years of free cultivation time. According to his age, it is not time for him to go down the mountain.

So this time when summoning Zhang Zhixuan, although Zhang Mengling is in power, he is still very friendly and gives generous conditions.

According to the family rules, for every breakthrough of a minor cultivator, the family Sutra Hall will provide a cultivation method and a spell.

If you have reached adulthood, you need to work for the family, complete the family tasks, and rely on the family contribution to exchange.

Zhang Zhixuan has already practiced the sixth level of Qi, and he can exchange one level of cultivation techniques and three spells in the Sutra Hall.

This time, going down the mountain two years in advance can exchange three more levels of cultivation techniques and two spells at one time.

If these resources were converted into spirit stones, for a casual cultivator, it would be at least 300 low-grade spirit stones.

This was also a special consideration given by Zhang Mengling because he saw that Zhang Zhixuan had good spiritual roots, a strong character, and a bright future.

If it was a cultivator with four or five spiritual roots who could hardly build a foundation, I'm afraid Zhang Mengling would not even look at them, let alone let them go down the mountain early.

After all, these pseudo-spiritual root cultivators often have not broken through the innate stage after adulthood, and they may not even have learned magic.

Even if they go down the mountain, they can only guard the shops in the market and manage the mortal town, and it is impossible for them to help their family much.

They often enter the middle and late stages of Qi training after the age of sixty. At this time, they are already deficient in Qi and blood, and their magic power is insufficient. Although they have more experience, they can no longer fight against the young and strong cultivators of the same level.

At this age, they can only return to the mountain to educate their young children.

If they are lucky enough to learn the hundred arts of cultivating immortals, they can make talismans, refine weapons, and refine pills in the mountains and continue to contribute to the family.

Immortal cultivators need to breathe in and out spiritual energy every day, and except for spiritual mountains and spiritual lands, there is not much spiritual energy in the outside world to support the cultivation of immortal cultivators.

Therefore, once immortal cultivators go out, they must rely on spiritual objects containing spiritual energy to cultivate.

These spiritual objects are divided into spiritual shells, spiritual stones, spiritual jade, spiritual water, etc., and are divided into three grades according to the amount of spiritual energy contained.

Among them, one hundred low-grade spiritual stones are equal to one medium-grade spiritual stone, and one hundred medium-grade spiritual stones are equal to one high-grade spiritual stone.

One low-grade spiritual stone can be cultivated once every ten days, which can allow a cultivator in the middle stage of Qi training to cultivate for a year at the foot of the mountain.

If the cultivator does not have other spiritual objects in his hands for more than a year, then his mana will not be replenished, and his cultivation will slowly regress until his spiritual energy is exhausted and he eventually transforms into a congenital cultivator.

"What does Uncle Nineteen want his nephew to do after he goes down the mountain?" Zhang Zhixuan asked.

"Your Uncle Seven is ready to go back to the mountain. The thirty acres of spiritual fields near Lushan County at the foot of the mountain are no longer taken care of. If you are willing, go and take care of the spiritual fields!

However, if you want to take care of the spiritual fields, you must learn the spells of killing insects and irrigation.

You have learned the Golden Needle Jue, which can not only be used to attack the enemy, but also kill the pests in the spiritual fields.

If you choose to take care of the spiritual fields, you must choose a spell, the Jue of Gathering Spirits and Turning Rain.

With the means of gathering spirits and turning rain, you can irrigate the spiritual fields, kill pests, and wait until the harvest season." Zhang Mengling smiled with relief when he heard that Zhang Zhixuan was willing to go down the mountain.
