Chapter 580 Renegotiation of the Contract

After hearing what Zhang Zhixuan said, Bai Yuzhu put aside most of her worries, but she still hid in Chiyun Tower, monitoring Zhang Zhixuan and his men's every move to prevent them from causing trouble in Chiyun City and doing things that would be detrimental to Xuanyang Island.

After dispelling Bai Yuzhu's doubts, Zhang Zhixuan used Qingchan's Xuanyang Order and spent 30,000 spirit stones to buy a Fire Spirit Jade from Chiyun Tower, preparing to give it to Yu Wancheng as an auxiliary spirit object for opening up the Purple Mansion.

Yu Wancheng was a cultivator with fire and wood spirit roots, and the amount of good deeds he had accumulated was not enough, so he could just use this spirit jade to break through the Purple Mansion.

According to Zhang Zhixuan's estimation, his chances of success were only about 30% to 40%.

After all, cultivators had to rely on themselves to break through, and it depended on whether he could get the favor of heaven.

Xuanyang Sect has a stable five-element mineral vein. Every three to five years, one or two five-element spiritual objects that can open up the purple mansion can be dug out. Although the number of purple-yang warm jade and black-ying jade marrow is equally rare, they can continuously cultivate the purple mansion with a large base.

The number of purple-mansion cultivators in this sect is ten times that of Qingxuan Sect.

Even if Qingxuan, Huanshui, and Tianchan Cave are added together, the number of purple-mansion cultivators is only about one-third of Xuanyang Island.

Counting the large number of vassals of Xuanyang Island, even if the quality of high-level cultivators above Jindan in the three-sect alliance exceeds that of Xuanyang Island, it is a pity that the foundation is weak. Once faced with a long-term war, it is probably far less durable than Xuanyang Sect.

Because there are enough five-element spiritual objects, Xuanyang Sect sometimes takes some out in exchange for spirit stones or other spiritual objects.

This time Zhang Zhixuan was lucky. As soon as he arrived at Chiyun Tower, he encountered a fire spirit jade.

Unfortunately, in other places such as Lotus City and Fishbone City, Zhang Zhixuan did not encounter any spiritual objects that could help open up the Purple Mansion. He could only be happy for nothing, and in the end, he only found one spiritual object.

"Compared with those mature large sects, Qingxuan Sect lacks countless foundations. Especially the Five Elements Mineral Veins, there is not a single one now. Relying on purchases, once someone gets stuck, it is difficult to cultivate fresh blood. These weaknesses must be slowly made up for."

After returning to Chiyun City, Zhang Zhixuan fell into deep thought and prepared to strengthen the training of prospectors in the sect to see if some spiritual mines could be found to increase the income of Qingxuan Sect.

The areas controlled by Qingxuan and Huanshui Sects are very large, but there are very few spiritual mines inside. Because of the lack of training for prospectors and array masters, they almost rely on luck to find spiritual mines. This is the case with the Qinggang Stone Mineral Veins mined by the Zhang family, and the Forbidden God Vein Mineral Veins. Even the Chaoyin Mountain Spiritual Stone Mine was discovered by the Ma family by chance.

But it will probably take many years to make up for these weaknesses.

Just as Zhang Zhixuan was thinking slowly, there was a sudden movement in his consciousness. He looked up and found that Lin Hongnian and Huang Sugao had already arrived at the Treasure Pavilion. Seeing that Zhang Zhixuan had already formed a pill, they couldn't help but show a trace of envy in their eyes.

"Meet Senior Zhang."

The last time they met, although Zhang Zhixuan's cultivation was higher than theirs, they were still people of the same level.

Only thirty years have passed. Relying on the resources of the last exploration of the ruins, Lin and Huang have made progress. Lin Hongnian's cultivation has reached the eighth level of the Purple Mansion, and Huang Sugao's cultivation has increased even faster. He has broken through three levels in succession and cultivated to the sixth level of the Purple Mansion. The cultivation speed is not inferior to that of the cultivators with different spiritual roots.

But compared with Zhang Zhixuan, the gap between them has increased a lot, as if there is an unfathomable gap.

Thirty years later, Zhang Zhixuan has become a master of the Golden Core Stage.

In the world of immortal cultivation, no matter where a Golden Core Stage cultivator goes, he is already a master. Even in a giant sect like Kunyuan Mountain, a Golden Core Stage cultivator can show off.

Zhang Zhixuan smiled, invited the two to sit down, and then said: "Please sit down, fellow Taoists. We are old friends. There is no need to be so polite to each other?"

"Although we are old acquaintances, the master is the master in the world of cultivation. Even if we have the courage of heaven, we dare not call each other fellow Taoists with Senior Zhang. If you don't mind, we will call you Uncle Zhang in the future. I hope Uncle Zhang will take care of you in the future."

Seeing that the two were so thick-skinned and so skilled in changing their attitudes, Zhang Zhixuan knew in his heart that this was a qualified cultivator, especially a casual cultivator without a backer, who should learn this skill.

The few people talked for a while, and with the constant compliments of Lin Huang and the others, Hu Shenghai also traveled from the mountain gate to Chiyun City and came to the Treasure Pavilion.

"Only Fellow Daoist Geng is left, and I don't know when he will come."

"According to the agreement, we will all meet at the Treasure Pavilion today. Fellow Daoist Geng is a trustworthy person and will not keep everyone waiting too long."

Zhang Zhixuan and Hu Shenghai chatted casually for a few words, and soon Geng Jinglong appeared in Chiyun City and came to the second floor of the Treasure Pavilion.

After Geng Jinglong sat down, he exchanged a few words with everyone and spoke first: "Although we gained a lot from the last visit to Tianyuan Sect, we all know the danger of the Tianyuan Sect ruins. Since a Jindan-stage ghost cultivator appeared last time, coupled with the special environment on the island, there must be an Eye of the Netherworld, connecting to the Netherworld.

This kind of environment is very likely to hide a Yuanying-stage ghost cultivator. Every step we take is full of dangers. According to the combat power last time, we may not be able to get near the Spiritual Medicine Garden, so if we want to explore the ruins this time, we must continue to invite masters."

After hearing what Geng Jinglong said, Zhang Zhixuan immediately nodded and said: "What plans does Fellow Daoist Geng have? Why not speak frankly?"

Geng Jinglong said: "You and I, the three parties, might as well invite a Jindan cultivator each. Even in the worst case, including the four of us, even if we face a ghost cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage, we are not powerless to fight back, and we should be able to fight for a while and seize the opportunity to escape."

"Does Brother Geng have a suitable candidate? Could it be Brother Wu, another Jindan cultivator on Giant Whale Island?"

"Brother Zhang guessed correctly, it is my good friend Wu Zhenming. Brother Wu's cultivation is already the eighth level of Jindan, and his magical powers are better than mine. He is a thunder spirit cultivator, and the cultivation method he practices is also very restraining ghost cultivators. If the two Daoists agree, in order to show fairness, you can also invite a master each."

Geng Jinglong's proposal was exactly what Zhang Zhixuan wanted. Restricted by the signed Netherworld Blood Oath, they could not tell outsiders about the situation of the Tianyuan Sect ruins, and they could not casually recruit people to join.

Unless they get the consent of half of the contracted cultivators and modify the terms of the contract, they can increase manpower.

In the last expedition, there were thirteen cultivators left, but unfortunately only six had the right to vote, and apart from the four Jindan, there were only the initiators of the Huang and Lin families.

Zhang Zhixuan and Geng Jinglong nodded, and the votes had already occupied half.

Moreover, this exploration was also mainly based on Jindan-stage cultivators such as Zhang Geng.

Hu Shenghai pondered for a moment, and when he thought of the danger of the last action, he nodded immediately.

Although Huang Sugao and Lin Hongnian did not want to lose the leading power, unfortunately their cultivation was far from enough. As the Tianyuan Sect became more and more dangerous, they could only be marginalized slowly.

Soon, Zhang Zhixuan found Chen Yunfeng, while the cultivator invited by Hu Shenghai was Bai Yuzhu.

After everyone gathered together, they modified the terms of the Netherworld Blood Oath, and then boarded the treasure ships of the Huang and Lin families, once again went deep into the vast sea and sailed to the ruins of the Tianyuan Sect.
