After listening to Zhang Mengling's words, everyone already knew that the family had now reached the time when they had to open up sources and reduce expenditure. Otherwise, if the deficit continues, the family's welfare will only be reduced on a large scale.

Zhang Zhixuan thought for a while and said: "Now that the family's income and expenditure are difficult, I and the patriarch will not receive the annual income for the time being, you three elders, now you have to prepare for the foundation building, it is when there is a lack of spirit stones, don't learn from us."

In addition, this time I went to the Southern Wilderness, killed more than a dozen monks, and the various materials seized were worth three thousand spirit stones.

In addition, the Xuanyu Grass has been growing for almost ten years, and it is about to mature, and after the Xuanyu Grass matures, we will be able to refine the Youhui Pill in large quantities.

Although the growth cycle of Xuanyu grass is long, on average, it can harvest sixty spirit stones every year.

Moreover, I have explored the terrain in detail, whether it is the waterhole in the back mountain or the bottom of the spiritual well, the place is relatively large, and I can continue to expand the planting area of Xuanyou grass, and this income will gradually surpass the golden bud pill in the future and become the most important spiritual grass in the family.

In addition, we must continue to intensify the development of Lingtian. The queen bee of the white jade hive is also about to reach the advanced level, once the queen bee successfully evolves to the second order, the production of the hive will increase greatly, and the income will also increase a lot.

Now that I have built the foundation, soon Qingchan and I will go down the mountain and move the cave to the vicinity of Lingtian, with my care, Lingtian will not need too many manpower.

It is enough to leave only seven uncles and thirteen uncles and two spirit planters.

In addition, the family task is not to distribute spirit stones for the time being, but to learn from Qingxuanzong and establish a family system of good deeds.

In the future, spiritual rice, spiritual wine, exercises, magic weapons, elixir, honey, royal jelly, and other family-controlled resources will all be exchanged for good deeds.

The good deeds of our family should also learn from Qingxuanzong, and the value of a good deed is about one spirit stone.

In this way, the turnover of spirit beasts will also be greatly reduced, and the pressure will be reduced somewhat. ”

After Zhang Zhixuan built the foundation, the amount of spiritual energy refined every day increased greatly, and there were already sixty or seventy monks living in the third-order lower grade spiritual veins of the family, which were already overwhelmed.

Now Zhang Zhixuan refines the aura, mainly relying on the water spirit pot.

The water spirit pot can produce about one spirit stone of spiritual water every day, and the spiritual energy consumed by Zhang Zhixuan every day is also about one spirit stone.

And Qing Chan has already practiced the ninth layer of qi, and when he has touched the bottleneck, it is impossible to increase his mana, and the aura that needs to be consumed has also been greatly reduced, and he is basically no longer refining spiritual water.

It's a pity that her soul doesn't seem to be complete, otherwise she would be able to break through the bottleneck now and impact the realm of the foundation building period.

After a year or two, when Zhang Hanyan returned to Qingxuanzong, Zhang Zhixuan was ready to take Qingchan to Qingxuanzong, and asked a monk who was good at treating internal injuries of the soul to take a look at Qingchan to see if there was a way to remedy it.

Everyone discussed for a long time, and for the time being, there was no way to earn a large number of spirit stones immediately, so they could only step by step, gradually consolidating the foundation of the family.

Simply, the patriarch was able to draw third-order spirit runes, and drawing three spirit runes per year was enough to support his own cultivation.

Zhang Zhixuan has a water spirit pot in his hand, and he is also the master who has no shortage of spirit stones.

Zhang Hanyan is a monk of Qingxuanzong, and Qingxuanzong has a lot of wealth, and the annual salary given to these foundation-building monks every year is 200 spirit stones. Moreover, the spiritual energy of the Qingxuanzong Mountain Gate is sufficient, and she is in the Qingxuanzong, and there is no shortage of resources for the time being.

Zhang Zhixuan lived on Tiantai Peak for half a month, then took Qingchan and moved to a hill near Lingtian.

Because the family has cultivated spiritual veins in the spiritual field, the spiritual energy here is becoming more and more abundant.

The mountain range has always been a place to gather aura, and this small mountain peak absorbs a steady stream of aura, and its strength is no less than that of Zhang Zhixuan's cave on Lushan.

Zhang Zhixuan and Qingchan moved down, and there were no longer too many garrison monks here in Lingtian, except for the seven uncles Zhang Mengyuan and the thirteenth uncle Zhang Menghan, only an eighteen-year-old apprentice was left.

This person is also a monk of the Zhizi generation, and his cultivation is only one level of Qi cultivation, and he is a four-spirit root monk, ready to be a spiritual planter for the rest of his life.

Such monks are the majority, and geniuses like Zhang Zhixuan and Qingchan can only be seen once in a hundred or thousand years.

Zhang Zhixuan had just settled down for a few days, and the seventh uncle Zhang Mengyuan came to visit, Zhang Zhixuan opened the door of the cave and asked, "The seventh uncle came to me early in the morning, why did you do it?" ”

Qibo looked at Zhang Zhixuan, who had already built a foundation, and asked in a low voice: "Zhixuan, when you go to the Southern Wilderness this time, do you exchange it for a spirit pill that can improve your cultivation?"

I've heard that this elixir has an extraordinary effect, can I get another pill from you. ”

Uncle Qi is eighty-one years old this year, at this age, why are you still keen to improve your cultivation?

At this age, it is no longer possible to build a foundation, even if it is a waste of resources to improve cultivation, it is just to retire in the mountains.

Moreover, the older he gets, the more his qi and blood are insufficient, and there is always some danger in breaking through the bottleneck, so at this age, the Qi cultivation period cultivators are basically not enthusiastic about cultivation.

Seeing that Qibo was full of interest, Zhang Zhixuan opened his mouth and said: "It is from Montenegro to exchange for ten bottles of Youhuan Pill, and five of them will be sent to Fang City to exchange for spirit stones." The remaining five bottles were prepared to stay in Gongzhong and supply the monks who were ready to attack the ninth layer of Qi training.

This batch of elixirs is now in the hands of Uncle Nineteen, and as long as fifteen good deeds, they can be exchanged for one pill of the Soul Pill.

This kind of elixir is still the first time our family has taken it, and we have no experience in taking it for the time being, for the sake of prudence, the family has stipulated that a late-stage Qi cultivation monk can only exchange for a pill of the Soul Returning Pill every three years.

Uncle Qi, you are already over eighty years old, why take the risk of taking this elixir, isn't it good to live a leisurely and comfortable life like now? ”

Uncle Qi's face was ashamed for a while, and he said helplessly: "Zhixuan, I am the only one, so I can naturally be leisurely and comfortable."

But I have to think about your twenty-ninth brother Zhi'an, his spiritual root is very bad, and he is not as good as me, a monk with four spiritual roots.

I don't have a few years left, and if I can become a family elder, I will have sixty spirit stones every year.

And I am now planting spiritual fields for my family, and the annual reward is only twenty spirit stones. If I can live a few more years, I will be able to accumulate a spirit stone for Zhi'an, and in the future, when I am gone, it will be easier for him to cultivate on the road. ”

Hearing Uncle Qi say this, what else can Zhang Zhixuan say.

In a family, there are monks who sacrifice their lives and forget their deaths for their families, monks who work hard for their families, monks who mess around, and monks who dig into the corners of the family.

Although the seventh uncle is dedicated to thinking about his children and grandchildren, he still works hard at home.

For decades, he has farmed for his family all his life, and he has always done his best.

Now, since he is ready to take the risk of hitting the bottleneck, Zhang Zhixuan can only secretly wish him good luck, he has been cultivating to the eighth level of qi cultivation for almost twenty years, and now although he is old, he is still more than half sure of success.
