From Chiyang Valley to Peishan, from the destruction of demon beasts to the refining of Qiankun bags, it took nearly two months.

When Zhang Lie returned to Chiyang Valley in Huangshan with Bai Wenjing's imperial weapon, Zhang Xiangshen, the patriarch of the family, had already returned first.

After learning of this, Zhang Lie went to reinstate first.

When Zhang Lie explained what happened to Peishan, and Bai Wenjing beside him handed over the letter to Zhang Xiangshen.

The tall and burly man with long hair scattered over his shoulders and dressed in a Taoist robe first read the letter, and then suddenly burst out laughing heartily.

"Hahahahahaha, Bai Hongju, this old guy, hahahaha, he is really as slippery as he was back then."

"This old fellow is a little timid, but he's a smart man!"

Seeing Zhang Xiangshen's emotional performance, Zhang Lie also believed what Bai Hongju said that the two had been friends for many years.

After putting down the letter in his hand, Zhang Xiangshen's eyes fell on Bai Wenjing gently, and after a little scrutiny, he said:

"Virtuous niece doesn't have to be cramped, in the future, I will live in Chiyang Valley with peace of mind, I will treat you like a nephew, your good deeds in the clan are calculated according to the use of my Zhang family elders, here to learn the Tao for ten years, and return to Peishan in the future to protect the family."

"Junior, thank you for the love of the patriarch."

Although Bai Wenjing got some hints from her grandfather Bai Hongju, she actually didn't know what Bai Hongju wrote in the letter.

But looking at the cordial patriarch of the Zhang clan in front of him, he really thought that his grandfather had a good friendship with this big man in the cultivation world of the Yellow Mountain.

The five major families of Huanglong County, in addition to the Wei family, which has the monks of the Purple Mansion, Zhang Xiangshen of the Zhang family can be regarded as the only person.

"Cuinong, take Miss Wen Jing down to rest, find the best cave to come out, and let Miss Wen Jing choose a place she likes to live."

"Yes, sir."

A maidservant girl dressed in an emerald robe walked out in response, and then she respectfully took Bai Wenjing down first.

The entire Zhang family in Chiyang Valley can be said to be run by Zhang Xiangshen, and when the Zhang family was the most depressed, even the spiritual veins of the mountain gate were about to be unable to be saved.

It was Zhang Xiangshen who took several of his brothers of the same clan into the wilderness and fought with demon beasts for ten years before he exchanged for a Zhuji Dan to build a foundation and stabilize the family situation.

If there is no foundation building pill, after ordinary monks have cultivated to the late stage of qi training, they will directly rush to the level, and the probability of foundation building success will be only one in thirty.

Once defeated, the mana will backfire, and those who rush through the level will often die miserably.

Therefore, the use of Tsukidan is actually rational, and this point cannot be compared with the true lineage of those wealthy clans.

Although after Zhang Xiangshen built the foundation, he only said to the outside world that he was immortal and built the foundation, but when Zhang Lie returned to the mountain gate for the first time twenty years ago and saw Zhang Xiangshen, he instinctively felt a threat to his life - if this is the foundation of immortality, then there is a ghost.

Under the leadership of Zhang Xiangshen, over the past hundred years, the Zhang family in Chiyang Valley has become increasingly prosperous and powerful, cultivating a foundation building monk, increasing the number of qi cultivators, and multiplying the population.

When Zhang Lie crossed into this world, the Zhang family had already developed preliminarily, otherwise, there would be no spare energy to send him to the Golden Rainbow Valley in the Northern Cold Continent to do the family's diversified investment.

"Yuan Lie, that female doll is good, walk around with her more in the future, she is a little girl who has never left Peishan for many years of cultivation, and now she has come to Chiyang Valley, don't let people feel too lonely, so they are homesick."

"Yes, Patriarch. Also, how is the fighting on the front lines? At this time, Zhang Lie asked about the war between Danyang Palace and the Shadow Demon Sect.

"It's still the same, no one can really defeat the other, but they can't retreat, it's difficult to be small between the two, and it's our small families who are caught in the middle who are really unlucky."

As he spoke, Zhang Xiangshen took out a wine gourd from his waist, raised his head and poured a few big sips, the wine was strong.

"Yuan Yeol, come on."

As he spoke, he didn't wait for Zhang Lie to agree or refuse, he had already thrown the wine gourd over.

"Gollum...... Whew, it's good wine! After raising his head and swallowing, he exclaimed.

Then, Zhang Lie took out a white bead and handed it to Zhang Xiangshen, and told the details of his killing of the "demon beast" in Peishan.

The Shadow Demon Sect's sphere of influence in Danyang Palace, the demon beasts that have been implanted with Jiaozhu are still strong and secondary, and the most important thing is actually that they are hidden enough.

Therefore, Zhang Lie's killing is reasonable.

"This is, Jiaozhu?"

Zhang Xiangshen knew the result of Zhang Lie's trip, but even if he knew, when he saw Jiaozhu in front of him at this moment, he still frowned slightly.

"You tell me about your trip from beginning to end, and don't miss any details this time."

After Zhang Lie spoke again, Zhang Xiangshen asked some more questions. It's just that Zhang Lie had already expected it in his heart, so he naturally did the right answer.

Zhang Xiangshen placed the bead on the table next to him and began to pace back and forth in the room.

"This is the old devil of the Shadow Demon Sect, and he is secretly cultivating some powerful magic, but we can't get involved in this matter, although we are standing on the opposite side of the Shadow Demon Sect, but if it attracts the attention of the Shadow Demon Sect too much, Danyang Palace may not be able to protect us, and may not be willing to protect us with all its might, this Jiaozhu I will go to the cold pool to freeze it, block the power of the Shadow Demon Sect Master's induction, and drag things out for a few decades, at that time, the situation may not necessarily change in any way."

After thinking about it for a long time, Zhang Xiangshen could only come up with an expedient measure.

This is the sorrow of small forces, even if they know the reason and know that they are very involved, they cannot deal with it in time, because they cannot deal with it effectively with their strength, and more often they can only choose a procrastination.

Nodding, Zhang Lie also recognized the patriarch's handling of this matter, and just as he got up to say goodbye, Zhang Xiangshen suddenly stopped him.

"By the way, Yuan Lie, the refining material you were looking for before, the ice spirit crystal, when I went to Danyang Palace this time, I accidentally encountered one, so I bought it for you, and then."

As he spoke, Zhang Xiangshen threw out a jade box, which was taken by Zhang Lie, and when he opened it, he saw that it was an ice-blue crystal.

Since he is in the family, he can naturally use the power of the family to do his own things, and it is also a method of collecting materials and running around looking for information by himself, and it is also a method to publish it as a family task and let hundreds of monks from the family help him collect it.

Of course, this is to be repaid for the family's good deeds.

The Ice Spirit Golden Crystal was a fourth-order low-grade refining material, which was very valuable, but it was used by Zhang Lie to improve the third-order Water Cloud Flying Sword.

To do so is indeed suspected of destroying the heavens.

But only in this way can Zhang Lie have absolute certainty, at least not to refine the Five Elements Flying Sword, although this method of upgrading low-level magic weapons with high-level materials has always been regarded as the left way by refiners, and if it is often used, it is not enough to refine the cost, but Zhang Lie is practicing his usual specialty flying sword, but the situation is different.

…………

Zhangjiashan City in Chiyang Valley, looking out from the courtyard wall, you can see a lush scenery, full of beautiful mountain dwellings.

There are three main rooms in the courtyard, three side rooms, seven or eight cypresses, and a meandering spring water, which slowly flows into the pond in the courtyard, which is extremely elegant.

In the center of the courtyard, there are two people, an old man and a young man, who are eating fish and drinking, there are already a lot of fish bones on the small round table, and the old man opposite is also blushing, which shows that he has been drinking for a while.

"Yuan Lie, you kid hasn't come to the fourth uncle for a while to drink." Zhang Chuanli, who had white hair like snow, was a little drunk and smoked, and looked at the former youth who had grown up in front of him, full of deep feelings.

"Fourth uncle, I was wrong, I know I was wrong. Come, I'll punish myself with three cups. While speaking, Zhang Lie punished himself three times in a row, but he just raised his head to drink, his face full of enjoyment.

"You bad boy, you are hungry for your fourth uncle's ginseng wine, what kind of self-punishment is this?" I couldn't see that this bad boy was panicking, and when he saw it, he was often so angry that his liver hurt, so he stepped forward and slapped him gently, but the old man smiled more and more happily.

This year, Zhang Lie is already sixty-nine years old, and for a Foundation Building Realm cultivator, this age is in his prime, especially if you count Zhang Lie's cultivation realm, it is no problem to call it the Purple Mansion in sight.

And Zhang Chuanli is already one hundred and twenty-two years old, although he is a late-stage Qi cultivation monk who can nourish his body with mana, he has also reached the limit of his lifespan.

Although the old man is open-minded and still has a strong body until now, Zhang Lie can sense that the vitality of the fourth uncle Zhang Chuanli is constantly declining, just like a hole broken under the bottom of a jar, and it is useless to fill it with no amount of water, and even if you act arbitrarily, it will make the hole bigger and make the water flow faster and faster.

Because the fourth uncle Zhang Chuanli is too old, Zhang Lie's time to accompany the old man is also limited, and he can't be too tired.

Although both of them are of the same generation, similar age, but Zhang Lie's appearance is like a young man in his early twenties, tall and resolute, like the rising sun, while Zhang Yuanjie's appearance is already dying, he practiced in his early years, greedy for merit, but it is difficult to refine the aura, which leads to the madness and damages the foundation, although he finally cultivated to the late stage of qi training, but the vitality has passed, and now he looks as if he is seventy or eighty years old.

"Brother Yuanlie, I asked you to help me with the matter before......" Zhang Yuanjie was halfway through his words, but he suddenly stopped, because the man in front of him suddenly looked extremely sharp.

"Shut up, don't let the fourth uncle hear it, let's talk about it later."

"Yes."

Zhang Yuanjie didn't dare to say much, but he was more confident in his heart. The more Brother Yuan Lie pays attention to the old man, the more he can't let go of the kindness he was back then.
