Chapter Eighty-Three: The Banquet

Zhang Hanyan came in advance, sharing the joy of family with relatives who had not seen him for many years, and at the same time helping Zhang Zhixuan organize a celebration banquet.

The patriarch has not been out of the mountain gate for forty years, and has become a little lazy. And Zhang Zhixuan is devoted to penance, and he is also a little impatient with this kind of thing.

Seeing Zhang Hanyan coming back, almost all the family chores were in charge of her, and she took Zhang Mengling, Zhang Mengqin and others to send invitations to major families.

She even went to the Wu family's fishing ground eight thousand miles away and bought dozens of white-tailed reed fish.

The white-tailed reed fish is a first-order low-grade demon beast, and it has almost no other characteristics except for the delicious meat.

This kind of demon beast, its greatest value, is the fish on the body, its taste is far more mellow and attractive than ordinary demon beasts, and it is liked by greedy monks.

Wu Sixuan, a monk of the Wu family's Purple Mansion, was a greedy monk who spent three years searching deep into the Southern Wilderness in order to capture the white-tailed reed fish.

The hard work paid off, after Wu Siyu caught the white-tailed reed fish, he did not eat them all in one go, but found a place with sufficient spiritual energy, dug a fish pond and raised these demon beasts.

After more than 100 years of development, the white-tailed reed fish here has become a very important industry of the Wu family.

The white-tailed reed fish sold from here every year are exported to several markets in Heishan Fang, Qingyang Fang, and Zhongxuanfang, with hundreds of sales volumes, worth more than 1,000 spirit stones.

An adult white-tailed reed fish needs to grow for seven or eight years, and its weight is only five or six catties, but its price can sell for three spirit stones, which is equivalent to thirty-six catties of high-grade spiritual rice.

It is quite cost-effective to raise this kind of fry.

Therefore, the Wu family will strictly control the outflow of fish fry, and their family has a Zifu monk as a backer, and the general family does not dare to provoke it.

Therefore, although the white-tailed reed fish has been raised for more than 100 years, the fry have not flowed out, and only the Wu family has a monopoly until now.

Maybe it will be until Wu Sixuan sits down, and other families will be able to fight his idea, and at that time, the number of white-tailed reed fish will increase year by year, and the price may be cheaper.

There is also a special waterwheel to carry the white-tailed reed fish, and every three or five days they also have to be fed with a special elixir, which is researched by the Wu family.

If the elixir is not stocked for a long time, the white-tailed reed fish will soon die. As soon as the reed fish dies, it will lose its taste for a day or two.

Because it was far away from Tiantai Peak, Zhang Hanyan spent more than a dozen spirit stones to buy two bottles of spirit pills, and walked for more than 20 days before sending this batch of reed fish back to Lushan.

At this time, the lingmi was just ripe, and it was almost time to celebrate the feast.

At this time, on the rooftop peak, the Zhang family was already full of lights and joy, and everyone's face was full of smiles.

Over the years, the family's situation has deteriorated, and every family monk is clear.

They all knew that once the patriarch was gone, it would be impossible for the Zhang family to keep Lushan's spiritual vein.

At that time, the monks of the Zhang family could only slowly disperse, and it was impossible to live the stable life they have now.

As the patriarch got older and older, Zhang Menglong, Zhang Mengquan, and other veteran Qi cultivation ninth-level cultivators missed the age of foundation building one after another, and their worries became more and more serious.

Unexpectedly, just a few years later, Zhang Hanyan and Zhang Zhixuan successively built a foundation, and the family not only had a closer support in Qingxuanzong, but also the patriarch had a successor.

The red sun in the early morning had jumped out of the horizon, and Zhang Zhixuan sat in front of the door of the cave, refining the purple qi of the day.

Today was a day to celebrate the foundation building of his foundation, and even on such days, he would not delay his daily cultivation.

Zhang Zhixuan was precocious and had no good companions among his peers.

He walked out of the mountain gate at the age of sixteen to contribute to the family, and he cultivated to be extraordinary when he was a teenager, while most of the monks of the same generation were still in the congenital stage at this age.

He and his fellow monks were basically monks of two worlds.

When he was a teenager, he disliked his friends for their childish thinking and devoted himself to cultivation every day.

When he was older, because his cultivation far surpassed that of Tongji, he dealt with older seniors like the seventh uncle, ninth uncle, fourth uncle, and nineteenth uncle every day, and rarely came into contact with clansmen of the same age.

And the brothers of the same generation, since he was a child, also knew that Zhang Zhixuan was not easy to get along with, and when he grew up, he had already felt the pressure of the family, and he didn't dare to disturb him easily, so as not to affect his cultivation.

Therefore, although he has been here for almost thirty years, Zhang Zhixuan does not have a good friend, and few people come to his cave mansion.

After Zhang Zhixuan established the foundation, the patriarch also issued a ban prohibiting the family monks from talking about Zhang Zhixuan's situation.

so as not to leak their own information and be targeted by other secret enemies.

Qingchan has followed Zhang Zhixuan for more than ten years, and more than half of the monks in the family still don't know this person at all.

There are a few foundation-building monks among the guests who came today, and in order to prevent these foundation-building monks from detecting Ni Duan, Qingchan will not show up today.

In the eyes of the family monks, Zhang Zhixuan is undoubtedly a mysterious person, who has been extraordinary since he was a child.

Now this mysterious young man has become the pillar of the family and the umbrella of the family.

The monks of every family feel honored.

Early in the morning, the four immortal cultivation families affiliated with the Zhang family were the first to arrive, and they were all small families in the Qi cultivation period.

There were very few monks in the family, the largest one was only about thirty monks, and the smallest one had only four monks in the family.

In these small families, there is a second-order spiritual vein in the family, and there are not many mortals in the family, often only tens of thousands of people.

In the heyday of the Zhang family, there were more than a dozen small vassal families, and the Zhang family was also the head of the five major families in Taicheng County at that time, and their status was like today's Wu family.

It's a pity that after the decline of the Zhang family, it is impossible to protect these small families, except for the four families that are the closest and can be supported by the family monks.

The other small families have either escaped from the protection of the Zhang family, or have declined.

After a short time, the famous loose cultivators of Taicheng County, and the immortal cultivators of several other families in the vicinity, also came to Tiantai Mountain under the leadership of the monks of their respective families.

At the moment before the banquet was held, the Wu family, the leader of the monks of Taicheng County, was also late.

The Wu family has a total of five monks in the foundation building period, and after Wu Xiangyuan died in Xihefang City, in order to avoid his family from making too ugly trouble, Jin Laozu personally came forward and gave a Zhuji Dan.

And relying on this grain of foundation building, another monk of the Wu family successfully built the foundation, and the strength of their family did not lose a bit.

The monks of the Wu family are not only numerous, but also rely on the elders of Qingxuanzong Wu Sixing, basically in major matters, the monks of Taicheng County are all looking forward to the Wu family.

Zhang Zhixuan built the foundation, the Zhang family held a celebration, and the patriarch of the Wu family, Wu Xiangjiao, did not come forward.

The person from the Wu family is Wu Xiangheng, who recently built the foundation, this person built the foundation eight or nine years earlier than Zhang Zhixuan, and now he has broken through the first layer of the foundation building realm, and is a monk on the second layer of the foundation.
