The northern part of Yanzhou in the Southern Regions is within the influence of Danyang Palace of the Righteous Dao Sect.

The Yellow Mountain is steep, the peak is high and the forest is dense, the clouds and mist are shrouded, and the aura is full of aura, it is a rare immortal treasure land.

This mountain range is more than 2,000 miles long, one of the five most powerful immortal cultivation families in Huanglong County, the Zhang family of Chiyang Valley lives in seclusion, and Zhangjiawu Fort has been inherited for nearly a thousand years.

It is easy to build a family, it is difficult to inherit a family, this thousand years have fallen, the Zhangjia monks have prospered and withered several times, and the family has lost the foundation monks when they are the weakest, and they all rely on the clansmen to return to the ancestral land and work together to guard the Zhangjiawu Fort that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and guard the spiritual veins inherited by the ancestors.

Fortunately, in the past 100 years, the Zhang family has appeared another heroic figure who is not born, the patriarch of this generation Zhang Xiangshen, before he took over, the Zhang family was still precarious, and there was a faint danger of catastrophe.

However, under the auspices of Zhang Xiangshen, a hundred years later, the Zhang family has successively cultivated five foundation-building monks, including himself, and the mortal population has swelled, and the number of monks has increased greatly, and it is increasingly prosperous again.

In particular, twenty years ago, there was a clansman who was studying in a sect outside the continent who cultivated and built a foundation and returned to his family, and he also brought his own foundation building Taoist companion.

This increased the number of cultivators of the Zhang family's foundation building realm to seven, which was already the strength of the second immortal cultivation family in Huanglong County.

The first immortal cultivator family in Huanglong County is the Wei family of Shaoyang Mountain, Wei Xuanyi of the Wei family joined Danyang Palace, not to mention the success of opening up the Purple Mansion by himself, and also cultivated a son and nephew of the family to open the Purple Mansion successfully, plus his Taoist companion, the Wei family of Shaoyang Mountain has three purple mansions, which is much stronger than the other four major immortal cultivation families in Huanglong County combined.

There are also five foundation-building realm monks, and the success of these foundation-building monks of the Wei family in the Purple Mansion family is far greater than that of the foundation-building monks of the Zhang family, at least in common sense.

In the small barren mountain Beppu, the spiritual vein of the branch of Chiyang Valley, Zhang Lie, who was dressed in plain clothes, sat on the futon with his hand.

Twenty years later, his mana cultivation has been greatly improved, and he has been promoted from the fourth layer of foundation building to the eighth layer of foundation building, and his divine sense mana has increased by half compared to that year.

In the past 20 years, after returning to the family with his concubine Qin Suxin, he reined in his edge and asked the patriarch Zhang Xiangshen to open up a small barren mountain Beppu for himself, and then practiced quietly in this Beppu, reading Danshu, and practicing swords to nourish qi.

After twenty years of research and cracking, although many of the contents of mediation and creation are still cloudy and incomprehensible, Taihao Jinzhang has summed up a set of magical powers that can be cultivated in his insight:

Zhang Lie sat on the futon, calmly and calmly with his hands constantly beating out the spiritual decision, his chest rose and fell, and a stream of pure and fierce mana continued to spew out of his mouth.

With his swallowing and spitting, this mana is sometimes transformed into sword qi and sometimes back into mana, and the two qi are constantly converted into each other, and the sword qi gradually acquires the spirituality of mana, and the mana gradually gains the determination of sword qi.

The sun rises and the moon sets, I don't know how long it has been, when Zhang Lie instinctively felt that his sword qi transformation had reached the limit, he swallowed it violently.

Swallowed that sword heart through the Xuan Qi into his body, and then hit several acupoints on his chest with his fingers one after another.

The inside is guided, and the outside is controlled.

The sword heart through the Xuan Qi gradually converged and impacted the three big acupoints of the Divine Court on the top of the head, Meichong, and Chengguang, and for a while, the Taoist who was meditating cross-kneeled in the middle of the dantian and the ancestral dantian seemed to be coiled with a sharp sword.

“……”

Whirring and whirring, the strong wind blowing, I saw the Taoist's palms flying, the mana around his body surging and scattering, the body naturally and slowly rotated, accompanied by the continuous spread of strong and powerful mana, the ground and air around him trembled continuously.

Suddenly opened his originally closed eyes, Zhang Lie's eyes were extremely bright at this moment, but his face was extremely pale, it was a completely unreasonable paleness. It seemed that the blood in his body had been burned out in this state, and then transformed into a stream of violent and extremely powerful sword qi, surging and surging with every inch of the meridians, acupoints, and skin around his body.

"Ahh............h

Finally, Gong Xing Jiu turned to the most extreme realm.

At the center of the eyebrows of the young Taoist Zhang Lie, a dark gold-colored divine pattern suddenly condensed and gave birth, as if a ruthless law was suddenly born on the forehead between the eyes.

Rumble.

Instinctively roared, a majestic and vast sword qi mana, based on this forcibly opened up magic eye, pierced the sky and slashed out, shooting straight into the sea of clouds above.

This white-gold sword qi flew out of the sky and went straight into the deepest part of the vast heavenly clouds.

All of a sudden, the wind and clouds surged, and as soon as this supernatural power appeared in the world, it suddenly stirred up the area above the small barren mountain, the wind and clouds changed color, and the sky and the earth were dark.

"Ahhh......hh

In this process, the young Daoist below was also extremely painful and unbearable, but he still gritted his teeth and controlled his body until his divine sense mana was exhausted, and the white-gold sword aura shot from the center of his eyebrows was gradually exhausted.

"Huhuhu. Heheheha ”

The mana of his divine sense was exhausted, and finally he sat down on the futon, and the line at the center of his eyebrows quickly faded away, and finally only a thin and delicate blood line remained, which was almost gone.

But Zhang Lie, who was sweating profusely and had already soaked through his robe, touched his forehead with his hand, but he couldn't stop laughing:

"It turned out to be this supernatural power, and it turned out to be this supernatural power. It's no wonder that I have to exhaust all my divine sense mana and even supplement it with pill stimulation to barely open it. ”

"Haotian Dharma Eye, insight into the Three Realms, can see the life, death, bitterness and happiness of all beings in heaven and earth, as well as all kinds of colors in the world, and can even release divine light to hurt the enemy. Twenty years of hard work, not wronged, not wronged. ”

Cultivating this supernatural power can assist in opening up the ancestral trick of the upper dantian eyebrows, although there is no realm of this world Ning Yuan Purple Mansion in the Taihao inheritance, but the cultivation of this supernatural power is successful, and then opening up the Purple Mansion is nine out of ten.

In particular, the enlightenment of the Tao is used to prove the Tao, and the promotion of monks with this can greatly increase their own Taoist foundation.

It was only at this time that Zhang Lie, who was in a state of flux, found that in the formation of his retreat cultivation, there was a row of communication spirit runes flickering and floating.

It was obvious that Qin Suxin outside had something urgent and urgent, but he was trapped outside the formation and had no way to enter the explanation.

Walk to the corner of the formation here, next to the stone mirror connected to the leyline.

Zhang Lie waved his hand and shot out a mana that had just recovered a little, and the stone mirror in front of him lit up, revealing the white-clothed female cultivator who was walking back and forth outside the formation, looking a little flustered.

"Su Xin has always never disturbed my retreat and cultivation, it seems that she has encountered something urgent that makes her so anxious."

At the same time, the entrance shrouded in white mist.

"Alas, why hasn't my husband replied?"

Standing outside the cloud-shrouded formation, Qin Suxin paced back and forth with some anxiety.

Finally, as if hearing her words, in front of Qin Suxin's eyes, the formation heavy with white mist was slowly opened.

"Su Xin, what's wrong, it looks like you're in a hurry."

Seeing the young Taoist walk out of it, his face was slightly pale, but there was a fierce and murderous aura all over his body.

Qin Suxin's originally anxious heart suddenly calmed down.

"Husband. The elder of the family asked to see him, in addition, when you were just cultivating, you had a sword qi that broke through the clouds, and I am afraid that such a vision is too loud. ”

Divine skills and secret techniques, when they are cultivated, they will have visions.

However, this level of exercise may not be something that the Zhang family, a small family in the foundation realm, can keep.

Although the spiritual veins of the small barren mountain are deserted, as long as Zhang Lie's vision when he cultivates is unexpectedly seen, it may spread, and once it reaches the ears of high-level monks, he really doesn't know what kind of disaster will happen.

"Family Elder, who? Did he see a vision of me when I was practicing? ”

Zhang Lie didn't know that the spell recorded in the Cave Insight was actually the Haotian Method, and after immersing himself in it, he was indeed a little unprepared.

However, fortunately, the small barren mountain is located in a remote and sparsely populated area, and even if a monk sees it, the chance of reaching the ears of a high-level monk is not high, after all, the vast majority of low-level and middle-level monks have no way to get acquainted with a high-level monk.

But Zhang Lie still planned to go out for a spin, just in case. In addition, in the future, it is necessary to buy a more high-level protective formation to avoid this kind of thing from happening again.

"It's the second elder Zhang Shishu with his two juniors, he didn't see your practice vision, but he just felt that your cultivation has improved again in the cave mansion."

When the second elder of the family, Zhang Xiangjie, arrived, he was entertained by Qin Suxin, and he had been waiting for several days, it seemed that the family had something important, otherwise under the strict orders of the patriarch, few family monks would come to Xiaohuangshan to disturb Zhang Lieqing's cultivation.

Twenty years ago, when Zhang Lie had just returned, the patriarch Zhang Xiangshen gave him a very high courtesy. I heard that Zhang Lie wanted to meditate and cultivate, and he preferred the small barren mountain, so he allocated money from the family to connect the spiritual veins for him, and Zhang Lie's annual income was also the same level as the patriarch Zhang Xiangshen, even if he didn't do anything every year, he would have 1,400 spirit stones to earn/family good deeds, and if he had the heart to do things, he would benefit more.

After Zhang Xiangshen inherited the position of patriarch, the system in Zhangjiawu Fort was no longer the ancient system in the past, in the past, you could become a family elder in the late stage of Qi training, but now you can only become a family deacon in the late stage of Qi training, and you can only become an elder by building a foundation realm.

And even if they become family elders, their respective annual salaries are different, the basis is only six hundred spirit stones per year, and then with the merit can be increased, and this merit is assessed by the family patriarch, the entire family of seven foundation building realm monks, only the patriarch Zhang Xiangshen and Zhang Lie's annual income is as high as 1,400 spirit stones, Zhang Lie's treatment made many family elders feel a little dissatisfied at the beginning.

However, in the past twenty years, Xiao Huangshan has refined second-order pills and third-order flying swords from time to time to replenish the family, and over time, this dissatisfaction has gradually dissipated.

The inheritance of cultivating immortals and hundred arts in the Southern Wilderness is already a weak point, if this new elder is proficient in the second technique of Dan weapons, then the patriarch's preference seems to be understandable.

Whether it is alchemy or alchemy, it is a hundred arts of immortal cultivation that can be used to inherit the family to increase the heritage.

Zhang Lie pondered alchemy in order to learn Taihao Jinzhang's mediation and creation, and to learn alchemy in order to improve himself for the Five Elements Flying Sword Sacrifice.

Because of Wang Wanyi, a monk in the Purple Mansion Realm, who has a lifetime of Taoist understanding, Zhang Lie is extremely quick to get started, as I have repeatedly said before, a high-level monk who has cultivated into a golden pill, even if he has never been exposed to alchemy and alchemy, it is impossible for him to be ignorant of the Dan Dao technique after forming the golden pill, and the acquired cultivation will be much faster.

What's more, Wang Wanyi is a family scholar, and she has worked hard to study and study since she was a child, not for any benefit, but to thicken her own Taoist understanding.

First, I went out for a walk and made sure that there were no signs of outsiders coming. Zhang Lie came to the Xiaohuang Mountain Cave Mansion and met with the second elder Zhang Xiangjie who came.

"Second Elder, it's really our sin as a junior to keep you waiting for a long time."

"Alas, it doesn't matter, Yuan Lie, you can be so brave and diligent on the path, it is the greatest filial piety to the family for us immortal cultivators."

Zhang Xiangshen, the patriarch of the Zhang family, is not only the patriarch of the family, but also the eldest elder of the clan, and the second elder Zhang Xiangjie is his brother within three generations, and he is also a foundation building monk who was brought out by Zhang Xiangshen.

It's just that when he was young, he fought for the family for many years, and the second elder Zhang Xiangjie had been damaged in an injury, and his mana could no longer be refined in the fourth layer of the foundation realm, so he was happy when he saw that there were outstanding juniors in the clan, even if Zhang Lie asked him to wait for a few days.

The two sides sat down, each sipping tea, and after a moment of simple greetings, Zhang Lie took the lead in speaking: "The second elder should have something urgent here, right?" ”

"Oh, here's the thing, some time ago, there was a skirmish between Danyang Palace and the Shadow Demon Sect, and the eldest brother took the book and the legend to support, and there were only you, me, and Su Xin left the three foundation building monks in the clan, that is, seven days ago, our vassal family Bai family came to ask for help, saying that a powerful monster appeared on the Heishui Mountain only thirty miles away from their home."

When Second Elder Zhang Xiangjie said this, Zhang Lie had already understood.

Now that the internal strength of the family is empty, three of the seven foundation building monks went to the border conflict place, one has been cultivating in the Danyang Palace for many years, and three of the seven foundation building monks of the Zhang family are left in this small barren cave mansion at the moment, and the Bai family is one of the most important vassal families of the Zhang family, the second elder Zhang Xiangjie did not dare to ignore it, so he could only temporarily leave the family to discuss with himself.

The Bai family has developed quite rapidly over the years, even Zhang Lie, who doesn't care much about family affairs, knows that they have cultivated a foundation building monk with the power of the clan, if it weren't for the faster development of the Zhang family in recent years, there is almost a tendency of the host and guest to be transposed.

But even so, the Bai family is already the leader of the Zhang family's vassal family, and the Zhang family doesn't care if something happens to the Bai family, and the other families will inevitably be centrifugal.

"How about the strength of the Bai family, I heard that they already have Foundation Building Realm cultivators, how is the cultivation? How about supernatural means? How does it compare to several elders in the family? ”

As soon as he heard Zhang Lie's question, Zhang Xiangjie knew that this matter was done, although the eldest brother was not allowed to disturb Zhang Yuanlie's cultivation, but at the moment, this matter was too special, and Zhang Xiangjie had no other way.

…………

After the second elder Zhang Xiangjie left the small barren mountain, Qin Suxin once again added spiritual tea to Zhang Lie, and at the same time said softly:

"Husband, didn't the patriarch allow you to cultivate a Jiazi? Why do you have to take on this errand? ”

Back then, Zhang Lie successively sent Zhuji Dan to the family, as well as resources worth up to 100,000 spirit stones, which greatly promoted the development of the Zhang family over the years.

Therefore, after Zhang Lie's return, the patriarch Zhang Xiangshen treated him well, not only opening up the small barren mountain spirit vein Beppu for him, but also allowing him to cultivate with a Jiazi.

In other words, Zhang Lie can ignore family affairs for sixty years, and the family will not cut off his offerings, and he can still use the family's manpower and material resources.

What's more, Zhang Lie has taken over a lot of alchemy refining tasks in the small barren mountains over the years, for him, it is to practice and study, but in the family, it is a real benefit, with a better magic sword elixir, and the strength of the elders of the family has improved a lot because of Zhang Lie's return.

Therefore, Zhang Lie can indeed ignore these things, he rejected Zhang Xiangjie today, and the family has nothing to say.

"I've been in retreat for so long, and it's a bit quiet and vivid. Do you want to come with me? It should be a third-order demon beast, and the income obtained after cutting it can also be used to subsidize the family. ”

"No, husband, the "Ancestral Xuan Gao Zhen Xian Miao Sutra" collected some time ago has not been copied yet, I am still waiting for you to come back in the small barren mountain."

Compared with Zhang Lie, Qin Suxin is more homely than him, on the one hand, it is due to nature, and on the other hand, it is because of the different cultivation progress of the two sides.

Zhang Lie has been reciting the Taihao Golden Medal for many years, this is his daily homework, reciting the scriptures every day, which has invisibly affected and improved his Taoist cultivation, and then Zhang Lie has cultivated with saturated cultivation methods: spirit pills, spirit stones, and spiritual energy, the saturation of the three is used, with the third-order spiritual veins of the small barren mountain, to improve his own divine consciousness and mana.

He is not stingy with Qin Suxin, and he is also a saturated supply of cultivation resources, Qin Suxin was extremely happy at the beginning, and he made good progress in cultivating divine consciousness and mana, but as he practiced, Qin Suxin sensed that something was wrong.

Zhang Lie's Dao cultivation comprehension is enough to support his saturated absorption of spiritual energy, and it will not give birth to bottleneck obstacles, but Qin Suxin can't, too fast and refined divine consciousness mana gradually leads to her Dao cultivation comprehension can't keep up with the improvement of divine consciousness mana, and the inexplicable cultivation bottleneck and even going crazy are also born because of this, and in the end, after calculation, a lot of elixir spirit stones are wasted in vain.

Qin Suxin had no choice but to keep collecting and reciting Taoist classics, hoping that he could improve his Taoist cultivation, otherwise he would have a lot of resources and would not be able to digest them himself.

In the afternoon of the same day, Zhang Lie went to the Bai family in Peishan with the sword, this kind of thing is not too late, if it is too late, everyone in the Bai family has been eaten by the demon beast, then even if the demon beast is killed, the prestige of the Zhang family will be irreparable.
