Zhang Hanyan is seven or eight years older than Zhang Zhixuan, and she is already over thirty, but her appearance looks only sixteen or seventeen years old, like a girl.

She is tall and has a smooth complexion, like a beauty who has come out of a painting.

She has a good memory, and she can easily recognize her relatives who she hasn't seen for more than ten years. Seeing Zhang Zhixuan and the others, she said heartily and generously: "After receiving your letter, I rushed here immediately, but Qingxuanzong is a vast place, so I can't help but let everyone wait for so long." ”

"I haven't seen each other for more than ten years, and my little sister has not changed much, but my sister and I are different, and now I have become an old woman." The eighteenth aunt Zhang Mengqin is a woman, and she had a close relationship with Zhang Hanyan when she was in the mountain gate, so she spoke first.

Zhang Hanyan's exercises when he was enlightened were taught by Zhang Mengqin, and the relationship between the two was more intimate.

"My sister is too modest, my sister is in her prime, how can she be old?"

"Little sister, don't talk nonsense, I'm nearly fifty years old now, although the monk in the Qi cultivation period has a longevity of one hundred and twenty years old, and he is already a small half of his body buried in the loess, and in more than ten years, his appearance will be even more unsightly."

It seems that both mortal women and female cultivators with mana power undoubtedly attach great importance to their appearance.

Even the old monsters of the Yuan Infant who are powerful and can turn the rivers and seas overturn the rivers and seas also pay attention to their appearance, and female cultivators who do not pay attention to their appearance are even rarer.

The relationship between several people is finally no longer strange with the continuous conversation, and it has become much closer.

Zhang Hanyan glanced at Zhang Zhixuan unexpectedly, turned his head to Zhang Menglong and asked, "Fourth brother, whose child is this young man?"

Looks young, and his cultivation can be compared to my generation?

When I left the family, this young man must have not entered the Tao, otherwise he would have always had an impression. ”

Zhang Menglong smiled proudly: "It's your twelfth brother Mengzhen's child, Zhixuan Linggen is good, and he is a precocious child."

He is quite diligent in his cultivation, and he has a lot of chance, so although he is young, his cultivation has already caught up with us.

A year ago, the third uncle had handed over the Elder Token to him. ”

"When I left, I heard that Brother Twelve had an accident outside Xihefang City, but I didn't expect that after more than ten years, his children also grew up and began to contribute to the family.

The relatives at home are okay, are they safe all these years? ”

Facing Zhang Hanyan's greetings, the four of them suddenly thought about the difficulties of the family over the years, and what made matters worse was the change in Xihefang, and the family that had finally recovered some vitality lost blood again.

There are more than 100 monks in the family, and they lost nine people at one time, and they also damaged Zhang Mengquan, who practiced qi at the ninth level, which can be said to be broken.

The four of them were silent for a while, and the four of them became old and refined, and immediately spoke: "Everything is fine, you don't have to worry about your family, you have to concentrate on cultivation in Qingxuanzong."

Even if you want to help, it's better to wait until the foundation is built. ”

Zhang Hanyan Bingxue is smart, although everyone changed the topic, she can also guess the family's recent difficulties, so she said with feeling: "On the road to the avenue, who can be relaxed?"

Everyone is difficult, we are descendants of the same bloodline, we can only try to unite and support each other through difficulties. ”

Under Zhang Hanyan's narration, everyone also knew her situation in Qingxuanzong.

After she joined Qingxuanzong, she took refuge under the Yunzhi Dao people, and it was smooth sailing at first.

Yunzhi Daoist is the Taoist companion of Zhang Chuyun's ancestor, and with his support, the foundation was successfully built, and now although he has cultivated to the ninth layer of the foundation, he is also more than two hundred years old, and there is basically no possibility of going further.

As her disciple, Zhang Hanyan was still very comfortable in Qingxuanzong earlier, and basically did not worry about all kinds of immortal cultivation resources.

According to the rules of Qingxuanzong, disciples are divided into miscellaneous disciples, outer disciples, inner disciples, and true disciples.

Any monk who joins the Qingxuan Sect halfway can only be a miscellaneous disciple, and after entering the ninth layer of Qi training, he can become an outer disciple, and after the foundation is successfully built, he will become a deacon elder, and if the Purple Mansion is successfully opened, he will also become an elder of the Qingxuan Sect.

A young monk like Zhang Hanyan who joins the Qingxuan Sect will be treated as a descendant and treated slightly better.

She just joined Qingxuanzong, she is an outer disciple, and after worshipping Yunzhi Daoist as a teacher, she became an inner disciple.

There are thousands of Qi cultivators in Qingxuanzong, and there are more than a few hundred monks in the ninth layer of Qi cultivation, and Qingxuanzong can only refine one or two furnaces of Zhuji Dan every ten years, and when it is good, it can only be refined into twelve or three pills, and when it is bad, it can only be refined into seven or eight spirit pills.

And the high-ranking monks of the sect sometimes stretch out their hands on the Tsukidan, and the Tsukidan that can be distributed every ten years is even rarer.

This kind of situation of more monks and less porridge, every time it comes to the refining of Zhuji Dan, the competition is extremely fierce.

According to the rules of Qingxuanzong, the competition between the ninth-level Qi cultivators and the Zhuji Dan should be divided into three aspects.

The first is in terms of age, monks who are over sixty years old, and their qi and blood are already insufficient, the probability of building a foundation is very low, and they cannot compete for the foundation building pill.

The second is to talk about merit, after joining the Qingxuan Sect, there will be a sect token, which records the merits of the monks to the sect in detail, and the monks who have done a lot of good deeds in the sect can give priority to the selection of Zhuji Dan.

This kind of rule is very suitable for the development of monks in the family, because they will have the help of the family to earn good deeds, and because of the help of external forces, they will often have more good deeds in their hands.

The third is the spiritual root, if the monks with the same good deeds, the good spiritual root can be selected first.

Because of the lack of Tsukidan, some outer disciples who are about sixty years old, if they have great determination and perseverance, will not use Tsukidan to risk building a foundation at this age.

Once this kind of monk succeeds, it is often more difficult, and every ten or eight years, this kind of monk in the Qingxuan Sect will have a successful foundation, either to become an elder of the outer sect, or to become a true disciple.

It's a pity that Yunzhi Dao doesn't have many longevity yuan, and his face in the sect is not as good as a year.

A few years ago, she exchanged the good deeds of the sect for a pill of Tsukidan and handed it over to her family, the Lu family. This practice replaced the quota of an outer disciple, which caused the anger of the elders of the Qingxuan Sect, and her situation was also a little worse.

In recent years, Yunzhi Daoist has rarely shown up, in exchange for Zhuji Dan, she not only used up her good deeds, but also consumed the favor left by Zhang Chuyun's ancestor, and now there is not much favor available in the upper echelons of Qingxuanzong.

It's a pity that the Tsukidan she got in exchange was not given to Zhang Hanyan, but to her mother's family, a distant nephew with good qualifications.

Therefore, although Zhang Hanyan has a good spiritual root, in order to build a foundation, he can't borrow her strength, so he can only rely on the help of his family.
