Chapter 5: Descending the Mountain

"Except for being able to irrigate the spirit wood, the Gathering Spirit Rain Determination has almost no attack power.

If you learn to gather the spirit and transform the rain decision, in the whole process of the qi cultivation period, compared with ordinary monks, it is equivalent to learning one less attack spell, and in the process of fighting the method, there will be a little less room for choice. ”

Zhang Zhixuan thought for a moment and asked, "Uncle Nineteen, in addition to guarding the spiritual field, are there any other tasks suitable for the little nephew?" ”

Zhang Mengling waved his hand and said, "Although you are young and old, and your cultivation is not bad, compared to the experienced casual cultivation under the mountain, the dangerous task is not suitable for a promising monk like you.

Whether it's going into the mountains to hunt demon beasts or searching for elixir, I won't need you for the time being.

If you are asked to go to Fang Market to see the store, it will be too big and useless.

Of course, you can also learn a little bit of alchemy and refining skills from the uncle in Fang City.

But you are still young now, you still don't want to focus on cultivating the Hundred Arts, you must cultivate to the ninth level of Qi cultivation as soon as possible, and then find a way to build a foundation, so that you can change the situation of the family as soon as possible.

Don't think about it, go down the mountain as soon as possible to see the Guardian Field!

The task of guarding the spiritual field is not only relatively leisurely, but also able to cultivate with the help of the spiritual energy in the spiritual field.

Although it is not as abundant as the mountain and the shops in Fang City, it is more free throughout the year and has more time to cultivate.

You should also take a long-term view, and don't be competitive or fight with people after going down the mountain, and try to avoid going to the market, where dragons and snakes are mixed, and sometimes it is not very safe.

Although guarding the Lingtian may make you feel like you are learning one less spell, it will allow you to survive ten years safely. ”

The rules of the Zhang family not only consider fairness and justice, but also take care of the innate roots of the monks.

Heavenly Spirit Root Cultivators didn't need to go down the mountain to deal with the family tasks at all, they only needed to concentrate on cultivation, which was the greatest help to the family.

And every time a monk of the Second Spirit Root completes a task, he can get the same amount of cultivation time.

Three Spirit Root Cultivators, after descending the mountain for one year, can get nine months of free cultivation. The Four Spiritual Root Cultivators can only get half a year.

As for the Five Spiritual Root Monks, after going down the mountain for a year, they can only get three months of free time.

Judging from this rule, although the rules of the family take care of the interests of the pseudo-spiritual root cultivators to a certain extent, it is a pity that they are fundamentally exploiting their value and better supporting the cultivation of the true spiritual root cultivators.

It has been 400 years since the Zhang family came to Lushan, but in these 400 years, there has not been a single Heavenly Spirit Root Monk, and even the Second Spirit Root Monk is almost rare to see for decades.

Most of the monks are four-spirit-root and five-spirit-root monks, and when they reach their seventies and eighties, they are still practicing qi at the sixth or seventh level.

Of course, there are also pseudo-spiritual root monks who can build a foundation and form a pill.

For example, Zhang Tairen, the first ancestor of the Zhang family, was a monk of the Four Spirit Roots, but he had an extraordinary opportunity, and when he was a teenager, he discovered a cave mansion that was scattered in the later stage of foundation building.

Relying on the resources in the cave mansion, he cultivated to the ninth level of qi cultivation at the age of forty.

Then he sold the fourth-order spiritual weapon of his predecessor monk and bought two Zhuji Dan from Qingxuanshanfang City, relying on good luck, he quickly succeeded in building the foundation, and then created the situation of the Lushan Zhang family.

After Zhang Tairen settled in Lushan, he began to recruit wives and concubines, and in just a few hundred years, he had more than 30 children, although only half of these children had spiritual roots, but under Zhang Tairen's care, there was almost no loss, and the situation was opened near Lushan in just a few decades.

In particular, his eleventh son, Zhang Chuyun, is even more qualified, and is a rare Lei Linggen monk, who joined Qingxuanzong when he was a teenager.

In just over a hundred years, he even broke the two checkpoints of Zhuji and Zifu, and became a high-level boss in Qingxuanzong.

Under his care, the Zhang family's power also grew, not only opened up the second third-order spiritual vein Jiuhua Mountain, but also occupied more than half of the shops in Xihefang, and even the foundation building monks also cultivated four or five people.

At that time, the Zhang family was able to provide a Zhuji Dan for the clansmen every 20 years, and they were able to provide a Zhuji Dan for the family monks with good spiritual roots.

It's a pity that more than 150 years ago, Zhang Chuyun went out to fight, was injured by someone, and sat at the Qingxuan Mountain Gate.

lost Zhang Chuyun, a big backer, and the Zhang family began to gradually decline.

After just over a hundred years, the family's foundation building monks slowly sat down, and the number of foundation building pills that they could obtain became less and less.

It wasn't until thirty years ago that the patriarch Zhang Leqian was injured in the fighting method, and it was almost to the point of precariousness.

Without the protection of the foundation building monks, it would be impossible for the Zhang family to keep the third-order spiritual veins of the mountain gate, and it would be impossible to hold the mountain gate in the end.

can only rely on a little relationship in the past to go to Qingxuan Mountain.

At that time, not only will the mortal relatives under the mountain be abandoned, but even a few shops in Fang City will be taken away by the Xiuxian family in Taicheng County.

Although a monk with a good spiritual root can become an outer disciple of Qingxuan Mountain, it is estimated that the situation is a little better than that of a loose cultivator, and a lot of time will be consumed in the tasks of the sect, and there is not much time at all.

Zhang Zhixuan copied the follow-up Qi practice period exercises, and then chose the five spells of Gathering Spirit and Transforming Rain, Green Vine Winding, Controlling Matter, Spiritual Eye Qi Technique, and Flame Shield Technique, and went down to Lushan at noon that day.

Although he has been in this world for more than ten years, Zhang Zhixuan has never been far away.

His father was a monk, and he grew up living in the mountains.

When his father went out, he was also taken care of by his uncle on the mountain, and after the age of six, he awakened Su Hui and began to cultivate freely.

Although he has lived for more than 40 years in two lives, he is still a little eager to try, and he left Lushan with excitement.

A few hundred years ago, Lushan could only be regarded as a barren mountain range, after four hundred years of hard work by generations of monks of the Zhang family, the Lushan mountain range has already been full of aura, and giant trees as high as ten zhang and twenty zhang can be seen everywhere.

After Zhang Zhixuan went down the mountain, he ran south for more than 300 miles and soon walked out of Lushan.

He looked at it and found that there was an alluvial plain with a radius of more than 500 miles under the mountain, and after this plain, it was a vast sea that was deserted and inhabited.

This piece of sea is left over from the ancient monks' fighting methods, and it has already damaged the spiritual veins of heaven and earth, and it cannot give birth to the slightest spiritual opportunity at all.

There was once a Jindan period monk who wanted to travel through the vast sea, and he flew in this sea for four and a half years before he crossed this sea and entered the Qingli Sea, where immortal cultivators gathered.

In the past four and a half years, this Jindan monk has been flying every day, and there is hardly a day to spare.

Not only did he consume the elixir that replenished mana on his body, but even the spirit stones and spiritual water on his body were completely consumed.

If you can't replenish your aura and can't find a way out, I'm afraid that you will also regress in your cultivation and completely die out on the endless sea of death.

Even the Jindan monks of the fifth realm were so dangerous to go to sea, let alone other low-level monks.

Therefore, in this kind of absolute spiritual land, low-level monks are naturally taboo and will not easily set foot in it.
