Chapter 17: Spirit Gathering Array
"Uncle Nineteen has always been cautious, and he is also cautious in this arrangement.
These thousands of catties of chalcedony rice are also a lot of money, and once they are targeted by the enemy, I am afraid that they will also cause trouble.
With the Cloud Beast going down the mountain, even if you can't defeat the enemy, you can return to the mountain safely. Zhang Zhixuan thought about it in his heart, and then opened the protective formation.
He first exchanged pleasantries with Zhang Mengyuan and the two elders for a while, and then directly led them to the White Jade Hive.
The two carefully observed the hive, Zhang Mengyuan's face gradually became solemn, and he said cautiously: "If I am not mistaken, those dozen white bees should be white jade bees." They seem to have evolved from wild bees sensing aura, and ordinary bees can evolve into this rare spirit insect, which is estimated to be rare in a hundred years.
These rare spirit insects can only evolve by chasing spirit flowers and plants.
Of the dozens of Bead Spirit Grasses planted in our medicine garden, the best one was already a fourth-order elixir, and the rest were also precious third-order elixirs.
Even if it was difficult for the family in the last hundred years, we didn't consume these spirit grasses. I hope that they have a higher value, and they can be exchanged for some elixirs for refining Zhuji Dan, and refining a furnace of Zhuji Dan for the family.
Although these spirit grasses were not exchanged for resources, they promoted the evolution of the white jade bee, which can be regarded as a good thing.
This spirit insect is very valuable, and its importance to the family is no less than this spirit well.
This place is becoming more and more important to the family, but unfortunately there is no spiritual vein!
Without the spiritual vein, it is impossible to send too many monks to guard it.
This place can't be casually entered by the juniors behind, they don't have a tight mouth and don't have much knowledge, if the secret is leaked, Lingtian will also be very dangerous here.
There are still very few monks who come here regularly, and when I go back, I will tell Brother Nineteen not to send unrelated people here to disturb me. ”
Zhang Mengyuan is an old man, and he has seen the struggle of immortal cultivators many times, and he clearly knows that the struggle between immortal cultivators is far more cruel than the mortal world.
In order to compete for the limited resources of immortal cultivation, generations of immortal cultivators have almost always lived in a brutal struggle.
As if raising Gu, only the most qualified, wise, capable, and lucky immortal cultivators can stand out and climb to the top of the immortal cultivation world.
Even the great change in the family thirty years ago, the most fundamental reason was because the family's strength had gradually declined in the past hundred years, and it could no longer keep the third-order spiritual vein of Jiuhua Mountain.
In that battle, Zhang Mengyuan was already a witness, and the thirty monks of the family stationed in Jiuhua Mountain, except for the seven or eight people brought back by the patriarch, almost all of them were lost outside.
After this battle, the backbone of the family, the Lezi monks, was almost lost.
After another thirty years, when the monks of the Mengzi generation grew up, they recovered a little bit of vitality.
The evolving white jade bee was found in the family Lingtian, and Zhang Mengyuan and the others didn't have time to greet each other, so the two hurriedly packed up the spiritual rice and returned to Lushan that night.
After a few more days, Zhang Menglong, the fourth uncle of the law enforcement elder, Zhang Mengchong, the fifteenth uncle of the Chuangong elder, Zhang Mengquan, the ninth uncle of the Dange elder, and Zhang Mengyuan, the seventh elder, went down the mountain together and hurriedly came to the spiritual field.
Although the fourth uncle, Zhang Menglong, is over eighty years old, he is the best formation mage in the family, and the family mountain protection array Qingguang Bamboo Sea Array is his hard work for many years.
His formation path cultivation has already exceeded the third order, if he joins Qingxuan Mountain when he is a teenager and relies on a good formation path talent, he will definitely get the Zhuji Dan given by Qingxuan Sect.
It's a pity that in the past hundred years, the strength of the Zhang family has weakened, and it is not possible to provide the family monks with a Zhuji Dan.
Therefore, Zhang Menglong and Zhang Mengquan, who are talented monks, can only miss the good opportunity to build a foundation in a row, and finally end up in the realm of the Qi period.
It is more difficult for a formation mage to improve his level than an alchemist or a refiner, the family has been rooted in Lushan for four hundred years, and Zhang Menglong is the only third-order array mage for hundreds of years.
According to his ability, if he presided over the formation in Jiuhua Mountain back then, the enemy might not be able to easily crack the formation and break through the mountain gate.
The four of them observed the white jade beehive in detail for an afternoon, Zhang Menglong finally took out thirty medium-grade spirit stones in pain, and arranged a second-order high-grade spirit gathering formation by the spirit well, and then he took out a second-order high-grade green gourd magic weapon, and played a few spiritual duels to act as an array eye.
He glanced at Zhang Zhixuan and said, "It seems that the virtuous nephew has a good chance, and he has gained something as soon as he goes down the mountain gate."
As long as this nest of white jade bees can produce a queen bee, even if the grade is still low, once the royal jelly is produced, it will also be of great benefit to the patriarch's injury.
Once Sanbo's injury improves, our difficulties will be slightly better.
Over the years, the family has almost shrunk with all its might, except for this spiritual field and a few shops in the market, almost all the outside industries have been abandoned.
Every year's income and expenditure are beyond their means, relying on the old money accumulated in the past.
This time, he took out three thousand lower-grade spirit stones, and also refined the second-order spirit gathering formation, and in just half a year, he could cultivate a second-order lower-grade spirit vein.
From today onwards, on the first day of every month, you will water the jasper gourd with spiritual water from the well.
As long as it lasts for ten years, after the Spirit Gathering Formation has refined all thirty mid-grade spirit stones, this spiritual vein will grow to a second-order mid-grade, which is enough for three sixth-level Qi cultivation cultivators to cultivate at the same time.
It's a pity that the family inventory is empty, and there are not many resources to cultivate the spirit vein.
If I can cultivate a second-order high-grade spiritual vein at one time, I will come here to retire from the mountain. ”
The second-order mid-grade spiritual vein is enough for three sixth-level Qi cultivation cultivators to breathe out spiritual energy together, and if the cultivation time is separated, at least six mid-level Qi cultivation cultivators can be allowed to cultivate.
Even the second-order lower-grade spiritual vein that had just been cultivated could provide spiritual energy for the three third-level Qi cultivators, barely allowing Zhang Zhixuan to meditate and cultivate alone.
"Zhixuan!
Your tasks are also a bit heavier from today.
Not only to cultivate spiritual veins, but also to pay attention to the hive at all times, once there is an abnormality, you must quickly go up the mountain to notify the family.
In the future, it is not allowed to use the communication rune, so as not to be intercepted by outsiders and discover the anomaly here. ”
Zhang Zhixuan nodded and said, "Don't worry, Uncle Si, I will pay attention from time to time."
In fact, the fate of the white jade bee was not discovered by me, but the little girl behind me.
Her father was a city patrol officer in Lushan County, and he died at the hands of the cat demon in order to save me, because he was lonely and pitiful, so I adopted her here.
Although the little girl can't speak, she is very smart, and recently, I have been preparing to teach her to cultivate, looking at her progress, the spiritual root should be good, it is estimated that at least three spiritual roots, or even two spiritual root monks. ”
The Zhang family lost Jiuhua Mountain and lost the spiritual measuring platform, and they could not detect the spiritual roots of the monks, so they could not provide suitable exercises for the monks.
Therefore, in the past thirty years, the cultivation speed of the family Zhizi generation cultivators has been slower than that of the Meng generation.
There was no spiritual platform, and the monks chose the exercises, and the testing of the spiritual roots almost completely relied on the experience of the senior monks.
According to Zhang Zhixuan's estimation, Qingchan's spiritual root is the Heavenly Spiritual Root, but unfortunately the Zhang family has been in decline for many years and cannot protect a Heavenly Spiritual Root monk.
So Zhang Zhixuan lied to protect Qingchan.
The Heavenly Spirit Root Cultivator had extraordinary qualifications, and he could advance to the Purple Mansion Stage with very few resources.
The Purple Mansion Period is already considered a high-level cultivator among the immortal cultivators, and if there is one more Purple Mansion Stage cultivator in the family, the situation will immediately change dramatically.
The reason why Zhang Zhixuan did not send Qingchan to the more promising Qingxuan Sect was also because he was afraid of the invisible risks within the sect.
Because immortal cultivators above the Jindan stage have completely condensed their souls, they have a chance to be reincarnated and reincarnated.
Reincarnated, most of the Jindan monks can't survive the mystery in the womb.
On the contrary, it was relatively easier to take away the low-level monks.
Although the monks have a bad reputation, and some of the monks hate the people who take the monks, they will often deal with them harshly once they find out that the monks have taken the monks.
However, in order to survive, high-ranking monks above Jindan dare to do almost anything.
The Jindan monks have a very high vision, and in addition to being forced to do so, the monks they take away often have excellent spiritual roots, either alien spirit roots or heavenly spirit roots.
Therefore, some loose cultivators with excellent spiritual roots sometimes do not easily join the sect.
And some immortal cultivation families will find out the longevity of the Jindan ancestors of each sect.
Only when he seized the opportunity would he send the genius monks of the family into the sect, so as not to let the family hope be taken away and lose his life.
Once Qingchan's Heavenly Spirit Root is discovered by others, the Zhang family will not pay attention to it, and there will be a hidden danger of family collapse.
And Qingchan's fate will also be full of twists and turns, and it is difficult to say whether it is good or bad.
But any immortal cultivator family who has a way, once they find a Heavenly Spirit Root monk, unless they are helpless, they will hide it tightly.
This kind of spiritual root cultivators, as long as they continue to cultivate normally and provide relatively few resources, most of them can cultivate to the middle and third-grade realms such as the Zifu period, the Jindan period, and the Yuanying stage, and become the backers of a sect and family.
Even if the Qingxuan Sect is a one-sided overlord, hundreds of thousands of years, it is difficult to receive a Heavenly Spirit Root disciple into the sect.
Qingchan was able to be discovered by Zhang Zhixuan, and it was also the blessing that the Zhang family had accumulated for many years.
