One of the two monks in retreat finally succeeded in building a foundation, which made Zhang Zhixuan's face a little better.

After Zhang Guangliang stabilized the realm, Zhang Zhixuan sent him to Jiuhua Mountain.

Although this family spiritual vein has been recovered for almost a hundred years, because of the lack of manpower in the family, it has not been sent to manage the foundation building period monks, which can be regarded as the weakest link in the Zhang family's defense.

In fact, the family has invested a lot in the spiritual veins of Jiuhua Mountain, not only opening up three fire eyes, but also building a large number of caves for rent on this spiritual mountain, and continuously cultivating thirty acres of spiritual fields.

The net profit brought by this spiritual mountain to the Zhang family every year has exceeded six hundred spirit stones, which is enough to support the cultivation of two foundation building period monks.

After Zhang Guangliang rushed to Jiuhua Mountain, he immediately began to clean up and rectify, drove out a group of scattered cultivators who were eating and waiting for death, and let them serve as magistrates in the villages and towns near Jiuhua Mountain.

Then he seriously dealt with the two monks who took advantage of the lax supervision and dug into the corners of the family, ending the chaotic management of this spiritual vein for decades.

Just when Zhang Guangliang was rectifying Jiuhua Mountain, on Tiantai Peak, a father and son who had been forgotten for many years were having a final detailed discussion.

"Tongpeng, it's all my father's uselessness, not only did he not save any resources for you, but he also had to ask you to help pay off the family's debts. You are not yet forty years old, why should you be in such a hurry to take risks, once you have an accident, what should I do in the future? ”

The person who spoke was Zhang Siming, his spiritual roots were very good, although he was a three-spirit root cultivator, but because the spiritual roots complemented each other, the speed of cultivation in the early years was not slower than Zhang Sihong's.

Coupled with the support of his father Zhang Zhijing, he took Zhuji Dan in his forties.

It's a pity that like Zhang Shengdai, Zhang Siming also failed to build the foundation, and he still owes 7,000 spirit stones, and now it has been fifty years since he failed to build the foundation, and this debt has not been paid off until now. If he can't finish his life, he will even have to bring it to his son Zhang Tongpeng to repay his father's debts.

Although Zhang Siming said very sadly, Zhang Tongpeng was still unmoved:

"Father, I have never complained to you, if I have an accident, you still have the third child, although his spiritual root is not good, there is no problem for you to provide for the elderly. The debts owed by our family have only 1,000 spirit stones left over the years, and they should be able to be repaid before my father sits down. According to my estimates, a monk who rushes through the level at the age of sixty is almost equal to a monk who passes the ghost gate, but a monk who rushes through the level at the age of thirty has a slightly greater probability of success.

I am already thirty-nine years old this year, and it has been seven years since I cultivated to the ninth level of Qi cultivation, if I don't fight once at this time, I am afraid that after the age of forty, I will not have this mental strength, and I can only stumble in the realm of Qi cultivation like you and my grandfather.

Rather than live like this, I am not willing to die. ”

Seeing Zhang Tongpeng's resolute attitude, Zhang Siming continued to persuade hard: "Tongpeng, don't you see that Uncle Fourteen can break through without Zhuji Dan, you feel that you have a chance to win." When you weren't born, there were no monks in the family who took risks to rush through the level, and under these accumulated bones, only one Zhang Zhixuan was achieved. Uncle Fourteen is a genius of Tianzhong, and others can't be compared to him at all. You still have seventy or eighty years of life, even if you can't build a foundation, you can live a wonderful life, why be so stubborn, you have to drill the horns of the bull. ”

Zhang Tongpeng shook his head and said, "Father, don't say it again, I won't look back no matter what." This time you will be fine, if you succeed, everything will be fine, if you fail, you should not have raised my son. ”

Seeing that Zhang Tongpeng did not enter, Zhang Siming took his hand and resolutely refused to let him close to death.

"Tongpeng, I show this old face, I beg you Aunt Sijin, I want to raise a little good deeds for you, you are still young and still have twenty years, and after twenty years, you may not be able to gather three thousand good deeds to exchange for Zhuji Dan. You're still young, just listen to my advice! ”

"Why should a father deceive himself? In order to repay the debts over the years, our father and son have already sold the magic weapons on their bodies, even if Aunt Sijin is like you as brothers, how much can they lend us? She has only built a foundation for more than thirty years, and the seven thousand debts she owes to her family are still being repaid, and she also has to think about her own path, and she also needs cultivation resources. Our family already owes a lot to the family, so why bother others? ”

Zhang Siming persuaded for a few days, and seeing that Zhang Tongpeng's will was still resolute, he could only go to Zhang Sijin and ask her to help persuade him.

Among the more than ten foundation building period monks in the family, Zhang Siming and Zhang Sijin have the best relationship, they are not much different in age, they have been practicing in Lingjing Mountain since childhood, and they are playmates in their youth.

After Zhang Siming failed to build the foundation, he also practiced at Tiantai Peak to assist Sijin to guard the family spirit mountain.

Because he had to repay the seven thousand good deeds owed by the exchange of Zhuji Dan, Zhang Siming's father and son had always lived a tight life, and after Sijin built the foundation, he often used the family good deeds to exchange for some resources for the cultivation of monks during the Qi cultivation period for Zhang Tongpeng to cultivate.

The reason why Zhang Tongpeng cultivated to the ninth level of Qi cultivation in his thirties was not only because he was wise and sensible and cultivated earlier, but also because he did not lack all kinds of spiritual pills used in cultivation.

It's a pity that no matter what they say, Zhang Siming still made up his mind that he must be closed.

Seeing this scene, Zhang Sijin was also a little sad in her heart, she patted Zhang Tongpeng on the shoulder and said: "Good boy, although my aunt doesn't want you to take this dangerous step, but you have such ambition, and I, as an elder, am also very pleased." It's very dangerous to rush through the pass without Tsukidan, what have you done to prepare, let my aunt take a look. ”

Zhang Tongpeng took out a worn-out book, which had already been rolled up with raw edges, and at a glance, he knew that people often read it.

Zhang Sijin picked it up and took a look, and found that the content of the book was full of circles, and he also wrote a lot of experiences under the text, and it seemed that he had studied hard for at least several years.

The author of this book is the famous ancestor of the Zhang family, Zhang Zhixuan, and the content is his experience in building the foundation and rushing to the pass.

Because he didn't take the Zhuji Dan Zhuji, the monks in the family rarely went to the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion to exchange this book. That is, Zhang Tongpeng, who was dragged down by his father and was embarrassed, had already prepared to take the risk and rush the level, so he spent a few years in advance to exchange for this classic book.

Zhang Sijin said: "Silly boy, when Uncle Fourteen broke through the foundation building period, he also used Mochizuki Pill, how can you have a chance of winning without using foreign objects?" Although my aunt doesn't have the ability to help you exchange for Tsukidan for the time being, she can still do it by giving you a Mochizuki Pill. ”

Sijin himself did a good deed, exchanged a Zhuji Dan for Zhang Tongpeng, and with an indescribable mood, silently sent Zhang Tongpeng to close the dead pass.

Because Zhang Tongpeng's retreat was very dangerous, Sijin and Siming had no intention of cultivating, and the two silently chose to protect the Dharma for him, hoping to see him for the last time even if they failed to rush through the pass.
