Zhang Zhixuan didn't care about the disturbances outside, and concentrated on cultivating in the underground cave of Lingjing Mountain.

By the time Zhang Sihong and the five people came back, it was almost three years later.

Zhang Zhixuan gave the remaining three Zhu Guo to Chen Yunfeng to thank her for taking care of the Zhang family over the years.

In fact, the pressure of the Huanshui Sect on the northern front is very high, and Chen Yunfeng, the number one master of the sect, is urgently needed. She hasn't shown up all these years, which has already caused the situation on the northern front to surge, if it weren't for Yang Xuanzhen's perennial retreat, I am afraid that the master of Xuansu Sect would have already made a tentative move.

After Wu Xianlong opened up the Purple Mansion, another two years have passed, and it has been about five years since Zhang Zhixuan and the three of them returned from Qinglihai.

One day, Zhang Zhixuan was meditating, and suddenly someone sent a transmission note.

The news of the retreat of the three of them in the underground cave mansion of Lingjing Mountain, except for the monks of the Purple Mansion period, only a few people such as Zhang Sijin and Zhang Zerui knew about it.

Zhang Zhixuan opened the transmission note and found that it was Wei Bohan, Zhang Sihong, and Wu Xianlong who came together.

Zhang Zhixuan let go of the ban on the cave, and the three of them entered the cave.

Wei Bohan has opened up the Purple Mansion for more than one hundred and sixty years, but it is a pity that he has been hit hard by resisting demon beasts in Taicheng County, and it is naturally difficult for him to make progress in cultivation due to his physical disability.

Now his cultivation is only the third layer of the Purple Mansion, which is no longer as good as Zhang Sihong, who entered the school at the end of his studies. However, he is the hall master of the Qingxuan Sect's General Affairs Palace, and his status is still higher than Zhang Sihong, so he is ahead of the curve.

"Brother Wei, what's the important thing about coming to me today?"

Wei Bohan glanced back at Zhang Sihong, turned around and said, "There is indeed one thing for Uncle Zhang to call the shots." ”

After Zhang Zhixuan sat a few people, he said easily: "Why should our relationship be so polite? If it weren't for the protection of the elders of Taicheng County, your brother would not have lost his way. We have been friends for many years, and if you have anything to say, just say it. ”

"Then I'll say it bluntly, the territory controlled by the sect is divided into two kinds, one is the territory directly under the central government, which is basically near Qingyang and Zhongxuan, and the mortal towns here are directly under the control of the sect, once a child with spiritual roots is born, it will be incorporated into the sect system and become the lowest-level miscellaneous disciple.

The rest of the territory was basically entrusted to the following families by relying on the county system. The sect recruited disciples, and it also relied on the recommendation of the monks of the following families, although the sect sent monks to occupy the core spiritual vein, but the foundation tentacles did not go deeper.

Now that the population around Montenegro is growing, it is time to establish a county. Your Zhang family has the largest population and the most influence in Montenegro, so I can only come to ask Uncle Zhang. ”

The mortal power of the Yu State was actually useless, and it was created by the four sects of the Yu State back then. This country was established to prevent external forces from meddling.

Yu is located in the southern wilderness, sparsely populated, and mortals rely on the Xiuxian family to live together.

A town must be watched over by monks in order to survive.

Even in the counties of Lushan, Lingjing, Jiuhua, Huangyan and other counties developed by the Zhang family, half of the population in the city is from their own family.

The big and small officials who manage mortals are basically held by low-level monks, and some upper-level official titles are useless at all.

Under such conditions, the southern part of the Wu family's town could not manage Lushan County controlled by the Zhang family at all.

On the contrary, it is the core place of the sect's control, and a set of effective mortal management systems has been established.

Since the collapse of the Hongshan and Nanlu sects, the Qingxuan and Huanshui sects have divided their territories respectively.

Because of the long distance, it was impossible for the officials sent by Qingxuanzong to manage the counties below.

It would take about half a year for a Qi cultivation period monk to walk from Black Mountain to Qingyang Mountain, and even if he took a whale beast ship, the cost would be thirty spirit stones, which ordinary Qi cultivation period monks could not afford at all.

Therefore, Qingxuanzong can only control the core spiritual veins, give up the governance power of remote areas, and hand it over to the major families below.

The population around Montenegro has exceeded 200,000, and there are dozens of families that have settled down, and even the number of monks in the foundation building period is more than ten.

Hearing Wei Bohan say this, Zhang Zhixuan thought for a moment and said, "What does the sect think? ”

Wei Bohan said: "Except for the Black Mountain Spirit Vein, the sect does not interfere in the affairs of Black Mountain County, and the Black Mountain County Guard is ready to hand it over to the Zhang family for hereditary inheritance." Taicheng County is also preparing to be divided into two, Lushan County, Jiuhua County, Lingjing County, Huangyan County and other territories controlled by the Zhang family are divided, and Lushan County is ready to be established, and the position of county guard is also left to the Zhang family hereditary. ”

"Who does this mean? Is it your General Affairs Hall or Jin Laozu? ”

"How can Jin Laozu have the heart to take care of mortal affairs, it is our own consideration, although the official position in the mortal world is not important, but now it is a little inappropriate to let the Zhang family be under the Wu family, and it is easy to avoid embarrassment when the two families are separated."

Zhang Zhixuan nodded and said: "You can discuss this kind of thing with Sihong in the future, I heard that Yuxian failed to open up the Purple Mansion some time ago?" Is there a remedy?

Although Senior Sister Luo is not in the sect, Yuxian is her beloved apprentice, and we elders can't ignore it. ”

Liang Yuxian is also a monk of the Second Spirit Root, but she is not lucky, when she opened the Purple Mansion, it happened to be the years when Luo Ziyan was preparing to marry the Dan, Luo Ziyan still owed Zhang Zhixuan a debt in order to marry the Dan, and she couldn't give her much help at all.

It was all thanks to Wei Bohan's support that she raised the Purple Mansion spiritual object for her, and opened the Purple Mansion some time ago, and she was as successful as Zhang Zeduan, and I don't know if there is a chance to go further?

Wei Bohan smiled bitterly: "She is already over one hundred and forty years old, and she uses Bimu Spiritual Heart to open up the Purple Mansion, there is nothing I can do here, so I can only entrust Uncle Zhang to help." ”

Wei Bohan himself has broken his path, and as the master of the General Affairs Palace, although he has no outside opportunities, plus the gray income, he also has an income of two or three thousand spirit stones every year.

He has no descendants behind him, and he rarely spends spirit stones on cultivation, if he fully supports Liang Yuxian alone, there is an eighty or ninety percent chance to help her open up the Purple Mansion.

But behind Wei Bohan, there is also the bottomless pit of Kang Duhe.

Kang Duhe is a cultivator of the alien spirit root, and he has the opportunity to refine the golden pill, in order to support Kang Duhe's cultivation, the resources in his hands are a little stretched.

"Yuxian is not only Lan Niang's master, but also Senior Sister Luo's disciple, Senior Sister Luo has formed a golden pill, and none of her disciples have yet cultivated into the Purple Mansion, I will go to the sect to see if her situation can be remedied." Zhang Zhixuan nodded, turned his head to Zhang Sihong and asked, "What is the matter with your coming back this time?" ”

Zhang Sihong said: "It's mainly about Zerui. Zerui failed to open up the Purple Mansion, should we continue to invest resources in him?

He had already opened the Upper Dantian, and it was relatively easy to break through the Purple Mansion. However, there are still a few monks in the family who have the conditions to break through the Purple Mansion, and if we continue to support him, I am afraid that everyone will complain that we are unfair. ”

Zhang Zhixuan nodded and said: "Ze Rui is a family cultivator, naturally according to the family system, he can't practice the Heavenly Eye Treasure Light Technique, and the family will not subsidize the spirit stone for him." As for the 30,000 spirit stones I borrowed from him last time, it was a private borrowing. The next time I borrow his spirit stone or not, it's your personal matter, anyway, for him, I'm also dedicated as an elder.

Where he can go in the future depends on his own chance talent. ”
