Chapter 20: The West River Meeting
Xihefang is a young market, and it has only been 300 years since its establishment.
At that time, when the Zhang family was in full swing, they joined five other local Zhuji families to jointly create this Fang City.
Because the Zhang family was the strongest at that time, it occupied a high share.
In Fang City, the Zhang family occupies almost half of the shops.
After three hundred years of operation by the monks of Taicheng County, at the expense of resources, Xihefang has given birth to a third-order low-grade spiritual vein, and the abundance of spiritual energy is no less than that of Lushan.
In Xihe Fang, there are not only third-order mid-grade defensive formations, but also the period during which the foundation building period monks of the five major immortal cultivation families are stationed.
Once an external enemy comes to attack, the five nearby immortal cultivation families will come to the rescue.
Does the Zhang family own eight shops in Xihefang, three of which are rented out, and they run five of them themselves.
In addition to the Baicao Xuan, which refines the elixir, there is also the Treasure Refining Pavilion where the magic weapons are refined, the Fu Gong Hall that sells spirit runes, and there are also two sundries stores that purchase various spiritual objects and materials.
These five shops are resident with more than a dozen monks from the family, and these monks are all under the control of the elder Zhang Mengquan.
Zhang Zhixuan had just entered Fang City, and was discovered by the Zhang family monks, who brought Zhang Zhixuan directly into Baicaoxuan, and before they had time to say hello, Zhang Mengquan came out of the back hall and said: "It turns out that Zhixuan is here, you come to Fang City, what do you want to buy?" ”
"The aura under the mountain is not enough to cultivate, so I want to buy some Golden Bud Pill."
"Although the pill is good, it can't be abused, you should know this.
You have learned the Hua Dan method, and it takes three months to take one Golden Bud Pill. ”
"I've taken a few Golden Bud Pills before, and the taboo of taking Pill is clear."
Zhang Mengquan nodded with a smile and said, "That's good, your future is great, there is still a long way to go, you must not indulge in the elixir."
Although the elixir is promoted to cultivation very quickly, there are some hidden dangers, and it is better for monks to cultivate faster than to go steadily and far. ”
Zhang Zhixuan said cautiously: "What Uncle Jiu said is that I will pay attention, and when I return to the mountain after completing the task, I will stop taking Jinya Dan." ”
"You finally came to the Fang Market once, today I will give you a discount, a bottle of Golden Bud Pill only costs you thirty spirit stones.
If you come a month or two late, the pill will be sold out.
In recent decades, the sales of our Golden Bud Pill have been getting better and better, and after refining it for a year or two, it will be sold out.
The next time I go back to Shanmen, I will suggest that the family open up new spiritual fields, plant more Yellow Bud Grass, and refine more Golden Bud Pills. The family pill is selling very well, and Zhang Mengquan's face is also bright, and he said happily.
Zhang Zhixuan shook his head and said: "Increase the planting area of yellow bud grass, I'm afraid there is no qualified alchemist alchemist, the last alchemy, Jiu Bo was tired enough, and in the future, Jiu Bo is getting older and older, I'm afraid there will be no more energy to refine the elixir." ”
Zhang Mengquan looked at the two alchemy apprentices angrily, and sighed: "The two of you can't do the spiritual root, and neither is the talent of alchemy, after seven or eight years of mixing with me, you can't refine the second-order spirit pill."
It's a waste of family resources to go around, or learn other crafts, you can't be left here to mix.
Zhixuan! Your spiritual root is good, and your cultivation is also on fire.
It is a waste of talent to become a farmer, it is better to follow Jiubo and learn the craft of alchemy. Among the four major techniques of the Dan Weapon Rune Array, the alchemist ranks first.
As long as you learn this craft well, you will not lack immortal cultivation resources in the future.
Wealthy couples are lawful, and wealth is the first! ”
After listening to Uncle Jiu's words, Zhang Zhixuan also said with some emotion: "Thank you Uncle Jiu for your love, Lingtian also needs a monk with good cultivation to take care of it now, and my nephew is still completing the family task, wait a few more years!" ”
"Here are a few books, all of which are my alchemy experience over the years, and I don't have any children, so I'm going to pass them on to you today, I hope you can take a good look at them.
When you have nothing to do, just ponder and ponder, if you succeed in refining the second-grade elixir, the future tasks of the seventh uncle can also be easier.
Besides, you came at the right time this time.
Tomorrow is the annual Xihe Meeting, and the nearby cultivators will come to exchange some immortal cultivation resources.
You don't rush back until tomorrow to see the market. ”
Zhang Mengquan has never been married since he became an adult, and he has no children to accompany him.
All the outstanding descendants in the family, he is like a son.
After he was over sixty years old and had no hope of building a foundation, his favorite thing was to bring up the descendants of his family, and sometimes give them some immortal cultivation resources.
Zhang Zhixuan also secretly respected Zhang Mengquan, an elder with a gentle temperament, and he said gratefully: "Don't worry, Uncle Jiu, my nephew will work hard to learn alchemy after he goes back, and share some of the burden for Uncle Jiu." ”
"Alchemy must be learned, but cultivation cannot be left behind, the cultivation of monks is fundamental, and the cultivation is high, and it is easier to learn alchemy." Zhang Mengquan waved his hand.
Except for the big days when the monks of the Xihe Small Society gather, there are very few monks in Xihefang on weekdays.
Zhang Zhixuan came for an afternoon, and the five shops in the market only traded for one spirit stone.
For a whole afternoon, only one second-level Qi cultivator had purchased five or six first-order spirit runes, and the price was only one spirit stone.
Looking at the deserted shop, Zhang Zhixuan asked strangely: "Fifth brother, is Fang City so idle on weekdays?" ”
The fifth brother Zhang Zhicheng's spiritual root is not good, and he is already twenty-seven or eighteen years old, but it is a pity that his cultivation is only at the third level of Qi training.
As an apprentice who has studied alchemy for seven or eight years, he still can't refine second-order elixir.
Jiubo Zhang Mengquan was already completely disappointed in him and would not invest additional resources for him.
After completing the task and returning to the mountain gate this time, he will change his course and give up alchemy.
Either he became a spiritual planter, or he was retired in Lushan County.
After listening to Zhang Zhixuan's question, the fifth brother Zhang Zhicheng replied in a depressed mood: "In addition to Qingxuanzong, counting the nearby scattered cultivators, there are only one or two thousand monks in Taicheng County, and there are only so many monks in total, how can Fang City be lively."
Only at the annual Xihe Meeting, most of the casual cultivators will come, just like the mortal world gathering, and when the time comes, the business done in one day will exceed the usual year. ”
