Chapter 733: Inherited Spells

Zhang Zhixuan needs to consume three months of innate purple qi to refine a furnace of Ziyang Pill.

He exhales purple qi for one day, which is equivalent to a 120-day practice of a ninth-level Qi training cultivator. It takes a ninth-level Qi training cultivator 30 years to refine such a furnace of spiritual pills.

Even if a cultivator who has just established his foundation wants to refine such a quantity of purple qi, it may still take ten years.

This kind of spiritual pill is not suitable for low-level cultivators to refine, and it requires the sect masters to rotate to refine the pill.

If there are more than a dozen cultivators practicing the purple qi method, refining a furnace of purple yang pill every two or three years will have little impact on the high-level cultivators and will not affect their practice of the purple qi method. .

However, in this case, the cultivators who practice the purple qi method must understand the alchemy.

At least they must have the fourth-level upper-grade alchemy, and have a success rate of 70% to 80% in refining the purple yang pill, in order to avoid wasting the innate purple qi and stably supply this kind of spiritual pill in the sect.

Because Qingchan and his companions were not good enough at alchemy, Zhang Zhixuan was not going to make a large number of Ziyang Pills for the time being. He planned to control the interval between making a furnace of elixir to ten years.

Ten years later, when Qingchan and his companions' alchemy skills were upgraded to the fourth level or above, the interval between making Ziyang Pills would be shortened to three years.

When the number of cultivators practicing the Purple Qi method in the sect gradually increased, Zhang Zhixuan would shorten the refining time of Ziyang Pills again, and gradually make it every year.

At that time, the number of foundation-building cultivators in the sect would increase significantly, and this kind of elixir would slowly spread.

This time would be at least a hundred years apart.

Since he had decided to inherit the Taoist tradition, Zhang Zhixuan first summoned Sihong, Lanniang, Zerui, and Yuancheng, the four purple palaces of the Zhang family, into the cave.

These four were all second-level spiritual root cultivators. Sihong had the highest cultivation level, having reached the ninth level of the purple palace, not far from forming a pill. Zhang Yuancheng had the lowest generation and the weakest cultivation level, and had just broken through to the purple palace realm.

The Heavenly Book Technique is the fundamental inheritance of the Ziyang Sect. If you succeed in practicing it, you need to sign a blood oath contract and never reveal a single word to outsiders. Even if you are a disciple or descendant, you cannot teach the technique privately. You must pass the examination of the three elders, the head, the transmission elder, and the law enforcement elder. Only after confirmation can you teach it.

If you can't visualize and comprehend the purple air, Qingchan will use the soul-bewitching technique to make them completely forget this memory, and will never let the formula leak out and cause trouble to the sect.

The four people of the Zhang family have different levels of cultivation, but unfortunately no one can visualize the purple air. If they want to practice the Qi-increasing technique, they have no way to start. Qingchan can only use the soul-bewitching technique to erase their memories and let them return to their caves to recuperate for a while.

In order to avoid being hit by the soul-bewitching technique and leaving sequelae for several people, Zhang Zhixuan also refined a fifth-grade lower-grade nourishing spirit pill for them to take.

After the four purple palaces of the Zhang family left, Zhang Zhixuan recruited Wu Xianlong, Wen Ziqing, Tang Yisheng, Wu Ruizhen, Wu Ruibao, Yu Wancheng, Shi Guiqing and other disciples into the cave.

These seven people are all purple palace cultivators. Tang Yisheng is the youngest, but his cultivation is the most profound, and he is not far from Zhang Sihong.

The seven people have different spiritual roots and comprehension. Only Tang Yisheng and Wu Ruizhen have visualized the innate purple qi. Among them, Wu Ruizhen has made rapid progress. It took only more than ten days to refine the first ray of purple qi. Tang Yisheng had many difficulties in cultivation. It took three years of hard work to cultivate to the same level.

Qingchan used the soul-bewitching technique to erase the memories of several people. Zhang Zhixuan also took out the blood oath contract and asked Wu Ruizhen and Tang Yisheng to sign it. After the disciples left, Zhang Zhixuan summoned Tang Fenglan and You Nianwei to bring their disciples to Lingjing Mountain.

There are only more than ten people in their lineage, all of whom are disciples of Liu Guyan. Tang Fenglan's cultivation has reached the seventh level of Jindan, and You Nianwei's cultivation has also been promoted to the third level of Jindan. The remaining disciples are all purple mansion cultivators, and they are still far from forming a golden core.

This time, among more than ten people, only Tang Fenglan can see the purple air.

There are many high-level cultivators in Ziyang Sect, and the direct lineage actually comes from Zhang Zhixuan and Liu Xuanyan.

Zhang Zhixuan and Qingchan's lineage is the main line of Ziyang Sect, and there are more than ten branches left.

Among the more than ten branches, the Taoist traditions and teachers are different. The most powerful branch is the branch of Chen Yunfeng and Xia Youqing.

Chen Yunfeng's lineage has one Yuanying cultivator, two Jindan cultivators, and seven or eight purple mansion cultivators in Ziyang Sect. Although their lineage is unable to take charge of the sect, they have a close relationship with Liu Xuanyan, and have made great contributions to the establishment of Ziyang Sect, and their status is also extraordinary.

Other branches do not have deep roots, and their ancestors do not have powerful inheritance.

For example, in Hanyan's lineage, her master, Grandma Yunzhi, is only a foundation-building cultivator. Grandma Yunzhi is a family cultivator, and she has no master to speak of.

The reason why Hanyan has gone far in her path is that in addition to her own good spiritual roots, the Zhang family supports her from behind. Even the fundamental technique she practices, the Xuanbing Zhenjing, comes from the Zhang family's Taoist lineage, and her fate with the sect is very shallow.

Although she is a branch in terms of inheritance, her relationship with the main line is as close as a family, and they are inseparable. The power in the sect is far beyond that of ordinary golden elixirs.

The situation of the teachers and leaders such as Luo Ziyan, Lu Hongniang, Kang Duhe, and Wang Chengxiang is similar to that of Hanyan. On the contrary, Lin Ruohua, Nie Liangzuo and others, whose teachers are all in the golden elixir realm, have a better foundation and connections in the sect than them.

Zhang Zhixuan and Qingchan have only more than 20 disciples and grandchildren in total. Among these more than 20 disciples, only three can practice the purple qi technique.

What are the restrictions of this technique? Zhang Zhixuan and others are still confused.

The seven people who practiced the exercises had nothing in common, whether in terms of spiritual roots or aptitude and understanding, which gave Zhang Zhixuan a splitting headache.

However, the few people who practiced the Purple Yang Heavenly Fire Art were able to successfully practice the Qi Condensation Technique. Even Tang Fenglan, who did not refine the Purple Yang Heavenly Fire and was not very proficient in this technique, could easily visualize the innate purple qi and practice the Heavenly Book Technique.

Perhaps only by starting from this aspect can we find commonality.

Unfortunately, to practice the Purple Yang Heavenly Fire Art, one must not only improve the cultivation to the seventh level of the Golden Core, but also have a physical constitution of the Golden Fire Spirit Root and a Fire Yang Body. It is also difficult to find such a successor.

Among Qing Chan's disciples, there are only three people, Liu Lingjun, Liu Guyan, and Tang Fenglan. The next generation of successors has not yet been found.

Qing Chan used the Soul Bewitching Technique to erase the memories of more than ten people.

Among these people, You Nianwei has already formed a pill, and her memory is difficult to erase. In order to prevent the secret from being leaked, she can only sign a blood oath contract and not reveal the secret of the technique to anyone.

Zhang Zhixuan issued a secret decree to the cultivators who could visualize the purple qi, asking them to learn alchemy and be promoted to the fourth-level alchemist in ten years. If they failed to complete the task, a huge amount of good deeds would be deducted.

If several people could become fourth-level alchemists, they could rotate to refine a furnace of purple yang pills for three years, which would not delay the cultivation of high-level cultivators at all.

Qing Chan and Liu Lingjun had already reached the level of Yuanying. Refining a furnace of purple yang pills only consumed purple qi for one month, and only a little purple qi was consumed in twenty years, which had little impact on them.

The biggest impact was still on several purple palace cultivators, who had to accumulate purple qi for two or three years to refine a furnace of purple yang pills. Even if they took turns to refine the purple yang pills, one cycle was equivalent to consuming one-tenth of the purple qi in refining the elixir, which was a heavy loss and would slow down the accumulation time of purple qi.

To change this situation, they could only upgrade their cultivation to the golden elixir as soon as possible.

Even if you have just refined the golden elixir, the purple energy you refine every day will increase greatly. Even if it is not as good as Zhang Zhixuan, a top golden elixir master, it is still twice as much as a purple mansion ninth-level cultivator. It takes about six months of purple energy to refine a furnace of elixir.
