In recent years, there have been monks who have broken through the realm, and after Zhang Zhifan became a ninth-level Qi cultivation monk, the number of ninth-layer Qi cultivation elders in the family has exceeded seven, and this number has exceeded when Zhang Zhixuan just came down the mountain.

This shows that after about 30 years of development, the Zhang family has basically stopped losing blood, and the monks of the Zhizi generation have grown up and become the pillars of the family.

In the more than 30 years since Zhang Zhixuan went down the mountain, the population of the family has also increased by 20,000, and among the 20,000 growing population, except for the thousands of Zhou family members who have been integrated, the rest of the population has grown naturally.

The relationship between mortals and monks is closely interdependent, and when the monk's power is strong, he can shelter more mortals to reclaim farmland and occupy territory.

In the three southeastern counties near the Southern Wilderness, there are uninhabited wildernesses everywhere, and as long as there are monks to protect them, the population can increase by at least dozens of times.

With a sufficient population base, we can give birth to enough children with spiritual roots, and these children can grow up, which in turn can open up living space for human beings.

In the past 30 years, although the development of the Zhang family has had twists and turns, it has always grown rapidly.

The patriarch recovered from his injuries and was promoted to the sixth floor of the foundation.

Hanyan also built the foundation of Qingxuanzong and became a fifth-layer monk of the foundation.

Zhang Zhixuan and Qingchan built the foundation without using the Zhuji Dan, saving a huge amount of resources for the family.

Although several ninth-layer elders have passed away, the foundation building monks are the family's reliance, their mana is stronger, and their lifespan is longer, with the support of the foundation building period monks, a family can survive and develop.

The three-color spirit fish raised in the deepest waterhole of the Ten Thousand Snake Cave has matured, and the maturity period of this fish demon beast is relatively short, as long as it takes two or three years, it can grow up and mature.

In order to sell these three-color spirit fish at a good price, the family opened a new inn in Xihefang.

Since the Battle of Xihefang more than 30 years ago, the control of this Fang City has fallen into the hands of the Hu family of Jiuhuashan. In order to control this city, their family had to send a monk from the foundation building period to sit in the city.

Ten years ago, after Zhang Zhixuan and the patriarch killed Hu Boren outside Jiaohefang, there was only one monk in the foundation building period left in the Hu family, Hu Boyu.

After that, Hu Boyu went to Qingxuanzong to ask Hu Peiyu to make the decision for him, although he did not achieve his goal, Hu Peiyu still found a way to ask for a Zhuji Dan for Hu Boyu.

Relying on this Zhuji Dan, the Hu family cultivated another monk in the foundation building period.

This person's name is Hu Tonghai, who is three generations younger than Hu Boyu, and the foundation has been built for less than five years, and he is less than sixty years old, which is almost Zhang Zhixuan's peer.

Now, Hu Tonghai, who has not long built the foundation, is sitting in Xihefang, protecting the Hu family's largest source of wealth.

The only Fang City for monks in Taicheng County, Xihefang City, has thousands of monks in Taicheng County, and they can earn a large number of spirit stones every year. Although half of the income will be distributed to the five major families in Taicheng County, the annual income is also about 1,000 spirit stones.

Of the 48 shops in Xihefang, the Hu family's share accounts for half. Even if you don't do anything, you can rent out all these twenty-four shops every year, and you can get five hundred spirit stones a year.

Xihefang, a city, has been established for a long time, and its history is far longer than that of Black Mountain, Jiaohe and other Dafang cities. At the beginning of the year, when Patriarch Yun was still there, the Zhang family also controlled the ownership of Xihefang.

After Patriarch Chuyun sat down and Wu Sixuan opened up the Purple Mansion, the Zhang family ceded control of Fang City to the more powerful Wu family.

Thirty years ago, in the Fang City War, the Hu family relied on Hu Peiyu's support and took control of Xihefang.

In this Fang market, the Hu family occupies twenty-four shops, the Wu family's share is only half of the Hu family, and still controls twelve shops, and the third is the Zhang family.

In order to start the signboard of the inn in Fang City, the three major foundation building period monks of the Zhang family all came to Xihefang City, and the family's Qi cultivation period monks also came to more than 20 to help organize the opening.

So many people came to the Zhang family, which made waves rise in Hu Tonghai's heart.

Back then, Hu Boren's matter, although the Hu family had no evidence, but the object of suspicion was the Zhang and Wu families, and today the Zhang family came to Fang City in a big way, which made Hu Tonghai worry for a while.

He was very afraid that the Zhang family would get carried away and come to attack Fang City.

Once the three foundation building period monks of the Zhang family decide to turn their faces, it will be difficult for these town guard monks of their Hu family to be spared.

That is, in the future, there will be Qingxuanzong Hu Peiyu to make decisions for them, what is the use of dying today?

Fortunately, Zhang Zhixuan and the others are still sensible, the control of Xihefang is in the hands of the Hu family, and they are endorsed by Qingxuanzong, if they dare to turn their faces today, they must be prepared to flee with their families.

And the Zhang family has been rooted in Taicheng County for hundreds of years, and they will not do such a stupid thing until they are helpless.

In the entire Xihefang City, Zhangjia Inn is still the first inn.

There is also a reason why the monks in the past did not open inns in the city.

One of the monks served by Xihefang was scattered cultivators and small family monks, and these monks were very weak and did not have any extra spirit stones in their hands. After they came to Xihefang to exchange for things, they were reluctant to spend spirit stones to eat and live in the hotel, and usually left Fang City immediately and returned to the cave where they lived.

Second, some of the wealthy loose cultivators, although they don't care about one or two spirit stones, but except for the Wu family's white-tailed reed fish, the other major families don't have any special delicacies.

When people come to Fang City to eat, they can't just eat Lingmi, right? Instead of eating Lingmi, where can people not eat, why spend more money?

The Wu family's white-tailed reed fish can be exported to Qingxuanzong and Montenegro, especially Jiaohefang, which is controlled by Wu Sixuan, and consumes a large number of white-tailed reed fish every year. This delicious demon beast has become the characteristic of Jiaohefang, and any monk who comes to Jiaohefang for the first time will always taste it and take a look.

White-tailed reed fish are almost in short supply, and although their family can afford to open an inn, they can't afford to make this little money in Xihefang.

Although the three-color spirit fish raised by Zhang's family is far less delicious than the white-tailed reed fish, it is also a delicious delicacy.

Even without adding any seasonings, this kind of fresh fish is still greedy, and the Zhang family can now produce eight kinds of spirit wine and five kinds of spirit rice, which already has enough resources to support this inn.

The shop is owned by one's own family, so there is no need to spend rent, and things such as spirit wine, three-color spirit fish, and spirit rice are all produced by the family. At the suggestion of the seventeenth uncle Zhang Mengyao, Zhang Zhixuan and the patriarch agreed to open an inn in Xihefang to give it a try.

Anyway, the stall of Xihefang is under the management of Uncle Seventeen, if it fails, it won't lose too much of something, and the three-colored spirit fish can't be sold, and it can also be distributed to the family monks as welfare.

The inn was ready to open in a few days, in order to make a name for itself, the Zhang family took out more than 100 spirit stone resources to vigorously publicize, every day the first three guests can get a three-kilogram three-color spirit fish for free, a pot of eight taels of spirit wine, half a pound of rice made of spirit rice.

This kind of discount will even last for a month. Relying on this method, Zhangjia Inn quickly became famous and had some regular customers. You can earn more than a dozen spirit stones every month. In this way, this inn alone can also bring an income of two hundred spirit stones a year, and of course, the Zhang family has to invest a lot of resources.
