Chapter 645 Large Transaction

Zhang Zerui is a third-rank top-grade alchemist. With the support of the Zhang family of Tiantai Peak, he almost monopolized the supply of elixirs in the three counties of Lushan, Taicheng, and Heishan. Relying on his own alchemy skills, he can earn a generous amount of spiritual stones every year. In addition to the family's subsidies for good deeds, it took more than 30 years to pay off the foreign debt.

Now he is penniless, but still has some ambitions. He began to borrow spiritual stones from the family monks, hoping to buy auxiliary spiritual objects to break through the purple mansion again.

Unfortunately, he is already very old. If he fails to break through, he will not have a few years left after recovering from his injuries, and he may not be able to pay off his debts.

Therefore, the foundation-building monks in the family dare not lend him too many spiritual stones. They can only lend him a little bit of 300 or 500 out of courtesy. The big part of the gap still needs to be paid by high-level monks.

Zhang Zerui's relationship with Sihong and Lan Niang is only average. The two purple mansions are also generous and lend him 3,000 spiritual stones each.

Unfortunately, he has no accumulation of his own. Even if he exchanges for the cheapest fire spirit jade, he still lacks about 20,000 spiritual stones.

In desperation, Zhang Zerui could only ask Zhang Zhixuan for help, hoping to fill the gap from Zhang Zhixuan.

Among the more than 20 foundation-building juniors in the family, only five or six have some relationship with the three Jindan ancestors. Most of the juniors have never dealt with Zhang Zhixuan and are not familiar with him at all.

Twenty thousand spirit stones are not easy for a purple mansion cultivator to take out, but for Zhang Zhixuan, who has already controlled Qingxuan Sect, it is just a drop in the bucket and not too difficult.

Even if the investment in Zhang Zerui fails, it will not hurt Zhang Zhixuan. Zhang Zerui is a junior he is familiar with, and he has some face in front of the Jindan ancestors. As soon as he opened his mouth, Zhang Zhixuan happily lent him 20,000 spirit stones and asked him to go to Song State to buy spiritual objects.

In this battle against the Southern Wilderness, Qingxuan Sect harvested a large amount of monster materials.

The general affairs hall of the sect used this batch of monster materials to refine a large number of elixirs, magic tools, talismans, and formation diagrams.

In order to alleviate the shortage of spiritual stones in the general affairs hall of the sect, Qingxuan Sect relaxed the restrictions on its vassal families and sold all kinds of third-level spiritual objects without limit.

Even the foundation-building pills, in addition to the more than 40 pills for rewarding merit, there are 20 pills for sale to vassal families.

The Zhang family bought 6 of the 20 foundation-building pills, almost draining the family treasury.

Relying on this method, the general affairs hall of the sect recovered more than 500,000 spiritual stones from hundreds of large and small families.

Finally, there is liquidity, so it is not so tight.

In this battle, 63 fourth-level monsters and four fifth-level monsters were captured. In addition to the monster pills, the market value of these high-level materials added up to more than 1.5 million spiritual stones.

Qingchan used good deeds to exchange some materials and made a lot of high-level talismans.

Her talisman-making skills have been restored to the lower grade of the sixth grade. Even with the materials of the monster beasts in the early stage of the fifth grade, she successfully made a fifth-level middle-grade spiritual talisman.

The Jindan cultivators of the sect liked this batch of talismans very much. Even the old ancestor Jin exchanged two of them with good deeds, preparing to keep them as a trump card to defeat the opponent unexpectedly.

The fifth-level talisman is extremely rare on the market. Even in the Great Zhou Dynasty, you can only buy some in the large fairy city market.

Most of the Jindan cultivators of the small sects in the Southern Wilderness do not have the fifth-level talisman at all.

Back then, Yang Wangyuan spent all his money to buy four fifth-level talismans from Qi as a trump card, but it took a lot of effort.

Now there is Qingchan, a powerful talisman maker, who refined thirteen fifth-level talismans for Qingxuan Sect at one time.

Each of the several Jindan cultivators in the sect got one or two, which greatly enhanced their ability to respond.

In terms of the reserve of talismans, they almost caught up with the cultivators of the famous sects, and had a bit of the demeanor of the Southern Wilderness sect.

The fourth-level demon pill can only be stored for more than ten years. In order to make the best use of it, Zhang Zhixuan can only refine the foundation pill as soon as possible.

The foundation-building pill can be stored for a decade, and can be preserved for decades.

Unfortunately, even if the auxiliary spiritual medicines of Qingxuan and Huanshui Sects were plundered, only twenty-three furnaces could be assembled.

Compared with the fourth-level demon pills in the hands of Qingxuan Sect, this number is far from enough.

In desperation, Zhang Zhixuan, Qingchan, Chen Yunfeng, and Gu Xuanzhou could only go to Dazhou again.

This trip was of great importance, and the value of forty furnaces of auxiliary spiritual medicines was about one million spiritual stones.

Such a large amount of resources would make even the Yuanying stage cultivators jealous.

So when he was ready to leave, Zhang Zhixuan could only choose a master to support him.

The last transaction with Shenmu Sect made Zhang Zhixuan very satisfied. This time, Zhang Zhixuan was still willing to take care of Shenmu Sect, an old customer.

Zhang Zhixuan and the other four carried a large number of storage bags, loaded some high-level demon beast materials, and prepared to barter. After all, it was a big business of millions of spiritual stones. Even if Qingxuan Sect and Huanshui tried their best to raise funds, they could not take out millions of spiritual stones from the treasury.

The four of them came to the Shenmu Grand Canyon with ease. Compared with more than ten years ago, the Shenmu Canyon has not changed. There are cliffs everywhere, and there are clouds outside the canyon, and a strict formation is arranged.

Even if Zhang Zhixuan and the other four join forces, there is no way to get in without alerting the monks of the Shenmu Sect.

The last time they came to Shengyuan City for trade, Zhang Zhixuan and Qingchan both applied for entry orders.

Chen Yunfeng and Gu Xuanzhou are old Jindan who have been in the Great Zhou for many years. They have collected dozens of various entry orders. There is no need to spend time to handle it. The four entry orders are directly handed over to the Shenmu Sect Zifu who is guarding the city gate.

The identities of Zhang Zhixuan and the other four are all recorded in Shengyuan City. At first glance, they are Jindan masters with successful cultivation.

Seeing that four Jindan came at once, the Purple Mansion of Shengyuan City immediately sent the news to the City Lord's Mansion.

The Lord of Shengyuan City, Duan Jingtian, did not dare to neglect and hurried to the city gate to welcome them.

When he saw Zhang Zhixuan and the other four, Duan Jingtian quietly released his spiritual sense to scan them. His face turned pale and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes. The spiritual sense of the four people present, except Zhang Zhixuan, was stronger than Duan Jingtian, so Duan Jingtian naturally could not see their cultivation clearly.

Duan Jingtian's cultivation was already the eighth level of Jindan, ranking third among the sixteen Jindan cultivators of Shenmu Sect.

Even with his arrogance, he was a little nervous when he saw Zhang Zhixuan and the other four coming together.

Duan Jingtian suppressed his distracting thoughts and welcomed Zhang Zhixuan and the other four into the City Lord's Mansion very kindly.

"My name is Duan Jingtian. I have been the mayor of Shengyuan City for the past sixty years. You fellow Taoists have come here together. Do you have any big business to discuss?"

Duan Jingtian has cultivated to the level of Jindan, and his vision and knowledge are very good. Even if Zhang Zhixuan and the other four did not reveal anything, he guessed their intentions.

"Fellow Daoist Duan guessed right. This time, I really have something to trouble you fellow Daoists of Shenmu Sect." Seeing Duan Jingtian get straight to the point, Zhang Zhixuan did not beat around the bush. He took out a list and handed it to Duan Jingtian, then said: "The transaction amount this time is not small. We hope to exchange high-level monster materials for the spiritual medicine of your Shenmu Sect. I wonder if Fellow Daoist Duan is willing to accept it?"
