Every year, the spiritual rice transported from Taicheng County to Montenegro is about 30,000 catties, which is almost equivalent to half of the spiritual rice output of Taicheng County.

The Zhang family has a spiritual well near Lushan County, because it can continuously produce sufficient spiritual energy, so the family has been constantly developing spiritual fields over the years.

Especially since Zhang Zhixuan went down the mountain to Lingtian, he found the white jade bee again, and the family paid more attention to it. Many years ago, the fourth uncle laid out the Spirit Gathering Array, and spent thirty medium-grade spirit stones to cultivate a second-order high-grade spirit vein.

With the continuous supply of spiritual energy from the spiritual veins, coupled with the continuous irrigation of the well water with sufficient spiritual energy, in the past ten years, compared with when Zhang Zhixuan had just come down the mountain, the monks of the Zhang family have opened up three more acres of spiritual fields.

If there were no such external forces, it would cost more than 100 lower grade spirit stones to open up one acre of first-order lower grade spirit field.

In the first-order lower grade spirit field, the yield of spiritual rice planted is low, the yield per mu is only eighty catties, and it takes about twenty years of hard work to recoup the investment of spiritual stones.

After years of operation, the Zhang family's thirty acres of spiritual fields have been quite good, except for the most important five acres of second-order spiritual fields, most of the remaining twenty acres of spiritual fields have been upgraded to first-order upper grades.

Only the newly opened seven or eight acres of new fields have not been upgraded in grade, and the yield is relatively low.

Relying on the strength of the Zhang family alone, they simply could not provide such a large amount of spiritual rice.

Even the Wu family and the Liu family, who have the most spiritual fields, can't take out so much spiritual rice.

Therefore, to go to the Southern Wilderness once, the five major families can only work together to raise enough resources.

In order to prepare for this transaction to the Southern Wilderness, the Zhang family has been preparing for almost a year, because the five major families' own spiritual rice production is insufficient, and the family has also scraped together a sum of spirit stones to buy some from dozens of small families.

The monks of the other four families in Taicheng County also took out some rare resources and asked the Qi cultivation period in the family to bring them with them to the Southern Wilderness to exchange.

For this annual transaction, the Zhang family is considered to have made a mistake, not only taking out all the foundation of the family, but also bringing nine cloud-stepping beasts.

Originally, the Zhang family only had seven cloud-stepping beasts, but in recent years, they have been lucky enough to give birth to two more cloud-stepping beasts, which can be regarded as a slight expansion of the population.

Each Cloud Beast is hung up in a special sealed carriage, which can carry five or six thousand catties of materials, and the nine Cloud Beasts are already able to carry all the bulk materials.

Some special resources, such as the Wu family's white-tailed reed fish, will also be loaded on special waterwheels and pulled behind the Cloud Stepping Beast.

From Lushan to Black Mountain Fang City, there are about 100,000 miles along the way, and it takes about five months to follow the footsteps of a late stage of Qi cultivation.

This time he went to the Southern Wilderness, Zhang Leqian also planned to hide in secret, and as for the task of guarding the family mountain gate, he handed it over to Zhang Hanyan first.

This time, Zhang Hanyan went home and had taken a five-year vacation in Qingxuanzong.

Five years later, she had to leave the family and go to Qingxuanzong to perform the sect's mission.

As a monk of the sect, he uses the foundation building of the sect to build the foundation, and after the foundation is built, he is not free.

Even the monks in the foundation building period need to spend half of their time to complete the tasks of the sect, even the elders of the Purple Mansion period also need to contribute to the sect, although they no longer need to perform the tasks of the sect, but they need to protect the rules and safety of the Qingxuan Sect.

This time, the five major families went to the Southern Wilderness to transport supplies, and a total of more than 20 monks went, among which the Zhang family had the most manpower, accounting for more than half.

Even the elders of the family also dispatched two people, namely the eleventh uncle Zhang Menghong and the eighteenth aunt Zhang Mengqin.

Of the elders of the family, Zhang Zhixuan had the least contact with Zhang Menghong.

As an elder in charge of enforcing the family's family rules, Zhang Menghong has always been taciturn and looks very cold-faced.

Originally, as an elder in charge of law enforcement, he didn't need to come forward at all for this kind of back-and-forth thing.

But now there is a lack of backbone in the family, except for Qingchan, there are only three elders, and their hands are even more stretched than they were more than ten years ago.

In the last ten years, the age of the family monks to descend the mountain has also been advanced by two years, and more and more young monks are descending the mountain at the age of sixteen like Zhang Zhixuan.

These young monks, when they went down the mountain, their cultivation was only seven or eight layers in the congenital period, and the difference between their cultivation and Zhang Zhixuan's back then was earth-shattering.

However, because of the continuous blood loss over the years, the number of family monks has decreased, and in order to replenish the manpower, they can only be allowed to go down the mountain in advance.

However, for their safety, the family tried their best to arrange them in safe places such as Lushan County and Lingtian to prevent them from being in danger.

This time I went to the Southern Wilderness, and the people selected were all the backbone of the family, and the minimum cultivation of each monk was five or six levels of Qi training.

Most of the monks are the backbone of the Mengzi generation who are over fifty or sixty years old, and their cultivation has already been in the late stage of Qi cultivation, and they also have relatively rich experience.

The same is true of the monks of the other families, and the people who are dispatched are all experienced old men.

This kind of experienced old bird has never been easy to provoke, even if it is a monk in the foundation building period, he generally does not dare to provoke such a group of late-stage Qi cultivation monks.

This kind of monks who escort goods in groups often have formations to rely on, and once they are trapped by their formations, it is difficult for even the foundation monks to get out of the trap.

If you are not careful, you may be trapped alive in the formation.

This time I went to the Southern Wilderness, because there were many people, so I took a lot of detours.

Along the way, whether it was a third-order demon beast or a loose cultivation in the foundation building period, when they encountered this kind of team that was not easy to provoke at first glance, they did not dare to come to find trouble.

Along the way, Zhang Zhixuan didn't make a move at all, and came to the vicinity of Montenegro leisurely.

Just when everyone thought that everything was fine, Zhang Leqian had the highest sense of consciousness and suddenly discovered the abnormality, he leaned out of the carriage, gently patted Zhang Zhixuan on the shoulder, and pointed ahead.

Zhang Zhixuan's divine sense is also relatively strong.

He was originally reincarnated, and the strength of his divine soul when he was a child was equal to that of ordinary people, and he began to cultivate when he was a teenager, and he tempered his divine sense earlier than ordinary monks.

In addition, it has been exhaling the purple qi of the rising sun for many years, and it has also helped the divine consciousness somewhat.

After building the foundation, according to Zhang Leqian's experience, Zhang Zhixuan's divine sense was no less than that of a third-level monk who built the foundation.

The monks who built the third layer of the foundation were already able to release their divine consciousness thirty zhang away.

And Zhang Leqian has been a fifth-layer monk for many years, and his divine consciousness has not been damaged, and he has been able to release his divine consciousness fifty or sixty zhang away.

As soon as Zhang Leqian reminded him, Zhang Zhixuan immediately nodded, his body was light, and his body had risen from the ground and floated in the air.

Zhang Zhixuan took a closer look and found that there were several monks fighting in front of him.

The cultivation of these monks is not high, although they are all late-stage Qi cultivation cultivators, but they are still far from building the foundation.

One of them was an acquaintance that Zhang Zhixuan met in Montenegro back then, and it was Wang Zixuan, the young owner of Baibao Pavilion back then.
