Chapter 444 Whale Carrier Ship

Although Tiantai Peak's spiritual vein level is average, its terrain is extremely majestic, and it is also a rare high mountain in the Southern Wilderness.

Since Zhang Tairen, the first generation ancestor of the Zhang family, occupied this place, it has been in business for four hundred years.

However, compared to more than a hundred years ago, the changes here are not very big. Although the Zhang family monks have tripled, most of their strength has moved to Black Mountain and Lingjing Mountain. Important places such as the family treasury and the Sutra Pavilion have been moved out. Now the most important place here is the family cemetery. There are not many monks on the mountain, only about forty, half of whom are old and dying.

However, below Tiantai Peak, the crowds were slightly denser.

In recent years, the Zhang family has worked hard to manage the triangle area of ​​Lingjing Mountain, Wanshe Cave, and Tiantai Peak, opening up a large number of strongholds and also reclaiming a large amount of farmland. The triangular area formed by these three spiritual veins is already very densely populated. Just in this small area, it feels like you have arrived in Qi State.

Today, the population of the Zhang family has exceeded 300,000. Adding in the population of other surnames in the territory, the population under the control of the Zhang family has exceeded 500,000. This scale has exceeded the Liu family's Taibai Mountain.

At the top of Tiantai Peak, two monks have been waiting for a long time. One of them looks very old and does not have much time left, while the other is in his prime.

The old monk's name is Zhang Yuanzheng. He has been practicing to the ninth level of Qi training for many years. Because his ancestors have not accumulated enough, and he does not have enough opportunities, he does not dare to take the risk and pass the level. He can only slowly waste the years and stop practicing Qi. period realm.

The middle-aged monk's name is Zhang Guangliang, Zhang Yuanzheng's direct nephew. Although he has given birth to many children, unfortunately none of them have spiritual roots. Fortunately, he has this nephew to inherit the mantle, and the relationship between them is like that of a biological father and son. .

"Third uncle, it stands to reason that the beast ship will arrive this morning. Why is it still not here in the afternoon? Do you want to inform the elders on the mountain to avoid any accidents?"

Zhang Yuanzheng shook his head and said: "Don't worry, it's normal for the beast ship to be late. Elder Sijin is in retreat. Try not to disturb her if you can. If the beast ship doesn't come tonight, we will go to Lingjing Mountain to find Zerui. Elder, ask him to communicate with Chaoyin Mountain, and then mobilize people to look for it. "

Zhang Yuanzheng and Zhang Guangliang's uncle and nephew are preparing to take the beast ship to Montenegro. Zhang Guangliang is fifty-two years old. He is a monk with three spiritual roots. He has been practicing to the ninth level of Qi training for nine years. The uncle and nephew finally gathered three thousand good works. , preparing to go to Montenegro to redeem the Foundation Establishment Pill.

Time passed quickly, and the two waited all night but saw no sign of the beast ship. Just when they were about to go to Lingjing Mountain to report the news, a black shadow appeared in the distance in the horizon.

After waiting for a quarter of an hour, the huge beast ship slowly docked on a flat rock on the top of the mountain.

Soon, a monk rushed over and poured the prepared high-quality spiritual rice and several spiritual herbs that the whale beast liked to eat into a special food box, allowing the big guy to replenish his strength and rest for a while. time.

The beast ship docked, and three monks immediately jumped out. These three were not members of the Zhang family, but loose cultivators nearby. The three of them bowed their hands towards Zhang Yuanzheng's uncle and nephew, and hurriedly left Tiantai Peak.

The whale beast is huge in size. Once its wings are spread out, it is thirty feet long. As long as the whale beast flaps its wings, it can fly dozens of feet away.

Although the short-distance burst of the whale beast is not as good as the flight escape of the monks in the foundation-building stage, when it comes to long-term travel and the monks who are limited by their magic power, the endurance of the whale beast is far less than that of the abundant physical strength.

In recent years, relying on the three whale beasts, the Taicheng County monks have become very frequent in communicating with the outside world, especially the communication with Jiangkou County and Heishan, which has become very common.

A monk with a low cultivation level in the Qi training stage can also take a whale beast ship to travel to places that he never dared to imagine before.

With frequent exchanges, the immortal cultivation world in Taicheng County has also developed rapidly. In the past hundred years or so, the population of each family has increased, and even the foundation-building monks have been more than a hundred years ago.

Zhang Yuanzheng's uncle and nephew boarded the beast ship and found a large amount of cargo piled in the cabin. According to their estimates, the weight was at least several thousand kilograms. If you want to carry these goods in third-level storage bags, you must prepare at least five of them.

In addition, there are more than thirty low-level monks crowded in the cabin. Except for the monk who controls the beast ship, whose cultivation level has reached the foundation-building stage, the rest of the monks are not very high. Nine-level Qi-training monks like Zhang Yuanzheng’s uncle and nephew It's like a rare bird.

The beast ship flew thousands of feet high in the sky, and strong winds hit everyone's faces, as if they had been slashed by a knife.

In order to carry more cargo and save costs, there are no restrictions on the beast ship to prevent strong winds. Ordinary mortals sitting on the beast ship cannot survive a day.

Fortunately, those who rode the beast ship were all physically powerful monks who were able to persevere in this environment. However, compared to Zhang Zhixuan's generation who ventured deep into the Southern Wilderness, it was easier to take a ship.

After more than twenty days of hard journey, uncle and nephew Zhang Yuanzheng finally arrived in Montenegro. Montenegro is also the terminal station for this beast ship, and most of the goods on the beast ship are shipped to Montenegro.

Several people had just disembarked from the boat, and saw several monks who had boarded the boat from Wuying Mountain, all wearing white mourning clothes, and walked to the top of Black Mountain with expressionless faces.

Zhang Yuanzheng saw several people walking towards the ancestor's cave. He thought of something in an instant, and his expression suddenly changed: "It seems that the ancestor Su of the Su family has left, and he doesn't know that after the ancestor Su left, Wuying Mountain and Jiufeng Mountain will Not going to cause division?”

After Su Heng occupied Wuying Mountain for several decades, he had developed this spiritual vein well. There were more than 3,000 mortals on the mountain, and there were more than a dozen cultivators, including his disciple Su Ziyuan who was at the sixth level of foundation building.

However, Wuying Mountain was located in the southern wilderness after all, and the climatic conditions were relatively bad, far inferior to Jiufeng Mountain, another spiritual vein occupied by Su Heng.

Su Heng had a very high level of cultivation. He had cultivated to the ninth level of foundation building many years ago. After he failed to open up the Purple Mansion, he devoted himself to cultivating disciples. In the last few decades, he supported two foundation building cultivators, one of whom was his disciple Su Ziyuan, and the other was his blood relative, his grandson Su Lianghan.

However, Jiufeng Mountain and Wuying Mountain were separated by tens of thousands of miles. Without the suppression of Su Heng, the ancestor, the relationship between the two families would probably be difficult to handle.

After the cultivators of the Su family came to Heishan to report the death, Qingchan immediately fled from the mountain quietly and passed the news to Zhang Zhixuan who was in seclusion in Lingjing Mountain.

Zhang Zhixuan was suddenly a little sad after receiving this news.

In the Taicheng County families, several clan leaders have passed away, and even Su Heng, who joined later, has also ushered in this day.

Of the five earliest Taicheng County families, only the Zhang, Wu, and Liu families can be passed down now. The Ma family was wiped out in the battle of Chaoyin Mountain, and the Liucheng Zhu family could not defend Lingshan after Zhu Hun passed away, and fell into the lowest level of Qi training family.

Even the Hu family and the Su family, who entered Taicheng County halfway, had ups and downs and drifted with the tide.

The Hu family was wiped out by the Hongshan Sect, and only a few cultivators escaped. After Su Heng passed away, the Su family was bound to split. If one of them was not handled well, they might even fight against each other and cause a civil war.
