It took seven days and nights for Zhang Lie to assist the patriarch Zhang Xiangshen, Zhang Chuanling, and Zhang Chuanhong, each of whom ambushed a black blood spider with the same realm as himself, and the other black blood spiders were all killed, these demon beasts have already tasted human flesh, even if they are expelled now, they will hunt and kill humans when they have a chance in the future.

As for Zhang Xiangshen, Zhang Chuanling, and Zhang Chuanhong, it depends on their respective means later, even with the help of the Heavenly Pupil's Blade, subduing the adult demon beast is still a matter with huge benefits and risks, but it does almost immediately multiply the strength of the Zhang family.

After completing this matter, Zhang Lie had planned to leave Taihe City and go to Hanshan County to visit his teacher for the last time, and then leave Danyang Palace to investigate the real cause of his increasing karma.

But just at this time period, a small thing happened in the family in Taihe City, Zhang Chuanshu knew that Zhang Xiangshen, Zhang Lie and others were nearby, and immediately sent a message spirit talisman to inform him of the matter:

The family in Taihe City, in addition to the transit of goods, but also operate some incidental elixir business, the caravan from Chiyang Valley, all the way to replenish the goods all the way to sell, are carefully calculated, sometimes some goods even if they can not be sold at the highest price, in order to vacate the position of the goods, as long as there is some profit will be sold, this is the caravan profit-seeking inevitable mode of operation.

Since there are medicinal herb shops, there will inevitably be medicine picking boys, who go into the mountains to collect medicine on weekdays to supplement part of the medicinal material income.

Yanzhou in the Southern Region is sparsely populated, with high mountains and dense forests and many demon beasts, even around a big city like Taihe City, it is also densely forested, and it is difficult for ordinary people to collect cherished medicinal herbs in depth, so the family will even assign some Zhang clan people with poor spiritual root qualifications who are willing to come to complete the medicine collection work.

The people of the Zhang clan who are willing to come are not only poor in the spiritual root qualifications, but also their parents are often mortals, and they can't provide any help to them on the road of cultivation.

Zhang Tongsheng of the Zhang family is such a person, in recent years, although the power of the Zhang family has swelled sharply, the momentum has soared, and all the clansmen feel honored, but the family is developing rapidly at the same time, in order to spread out the entire trade route, the expenses are also huge.

Therefore, the strength of the family has become stronger, and the treatment of the disciples at the bottom of the family has not kept up in time:

The cultivators of the Second Spirit Root Qi Cultivation Period will only distribute five lower-grade spirit stones every month, and a total of sixty lower-grade spirit stones will be issued in a year.

The Three Spiritual Root Monks are much worse, the treatment is only half of that of the Second Spiritual Root Monks, and there are only thirty lower grade spirit stones a year.

The conditions of the Four Spirit Root Monks were even worse, and their treatment was only half of that of the Three Spirit Root Monks, and there were only fifteen lower grade spirit stones every year.

As for the Five Spirit Root Cultivators, the family hardly invested much in resources, and only distributed five Lower Grade Spirit Stones every year.

Zhang Tongsheng's four spirit root qualifications, and he had no parents and elders to rely on behind him, and only relied on those spirit stones issued by the family, no matter how much he saved, it was not enough for his daily cultivation consumption, so he signed up for the family task and became a medicine picking boy in the family shop in Taihe City.

Because of his diligence and seriousness, Zhang Chuanshu also likes him a lot, at least he knows his name, and he is willing to click on one or two sentences on weekdays.

This time, when Zhang Tongsheng went into the mountains to collect medicine, he encountered a tiger in the mountains, he was only in the realm of practicing qi at the first and second levels, except for the light body technique, he couldn't do any spells, he was not invincible at all, he fell off the cliff when he fled for his life but was lucky not to die, and he accidentally found a wild fourth-order elixir.

After reuniting with his lost companions, Zhang Tongsheng, who was not lightly injured but received a heavy treasure, returned to Taihe City, which was the adventure of immortal cultivators.

Although Zhang Tongsheng can be called lucky, but his encounter is not too strange, basically every few years in the Tongxuan world, there will be monks who have to meet the treasures of ancient monks, and since then they have soared into the deeds of the Yuanying monks, and even some people have crashed into the Yuanying monk's mansion and directly inherited the mantle and Taoist system, and when they go out of the mountain, they are already in the Jindan real realm.

What's more, although Zhang Tongsheng had an adventure, he had no luck, and within two days of returning to the Taihe City Pharmacy, he didn't know who leaked the news, and a powerful local Xiuxian family came to the door.

Taihe City Gan family, the local immortal cultivation family, Danyang Palace became the leading party for the first time after calling, and successfully kept the mountain gate of the family.

After learning about this, knowing what kind of immortal cultivation family the Zhang family of Huanglong County was, the Gan family originally did not intend to pursue it, that fourth-order elixir was indeed within the range of their family's spiritual veins, but the position of the growth was too secretive, and the aura fluctuations were small, and it had grown for hundreds of years, and the monks of the Gan family did not know anything.

But after learning that the fourth-order elixir was a mature Canglan grass, Gan Jiaxiu couldn't hold it down after all, the value of the same fourth-order elixir was also high and low, and the Canglan grass was the main medicine that could refine and enhance the mana of the water, and it was the one with the highest value among the fourth-order elixirs.

Even if the Three Corpse Demon Monarchs are fierce and powerful, behind them is the biggest pillar of the sect, Xiaoshan Zhenjun, and the Gan family has now taken refuge in Danyang Palace, the Zhang family can't be domineering, and there is no profit at all.

Taihe City Elixir Shop, Zhang Xiangshen, Zhang Lie, Zhang Chuanling and other core figures of the Zhang family are all here, and there is a cold jade box on the long table, which contains a purple elixir, which is the Canglan grass.

"If it is an ordinary fourth-order elixir, the Gan family will not dare to compete with us, but this Canglan grass is different, there is a corresponding pill in the sect, and other auxiliary medicines are not difficult to find, if the ownership of this Canglan grass belongs to our Zhang family, then the final elixir refined according to the rules of the sect must be half of our Zhang family, which is unacceptable to many people in the sect."

"The Canglan Water Pill can increase the mana of the Purple Mansion monks for several years, and many people in the sect can take it, and the Gan family is probably also instructed, so they have to stand up and compete with us, after all, there are even a few Purple Mansion monks in the sect, and their skills are in a very embarrassing bottleneck state, and they will have the opportunity to impact the Jindan realm further, and there is no possibility of going further on the path in this life."

Zhang Lie picked up the jade box on the long table and said.

Hearing this, Zhang Chuanling took the lead in speaking:

"Yuan Lie, I'm still young, and I haven't encountered a bottleneck in mana, if it is more beneficial to the family to give up this pill, it will be no problem on my side."

Zhang Chuanling also knew in his heart that most of the people who fought for this Canglan Shuidan family were for themselves, the patriarch was good at swordsmanship, and Yuan Lie was good at swordsmanship, and it seemed that the main cultivation was not water mana.

In fact, Zhang Lie's cultivation of the Mixed Yuan Five Elements Qi could take the Canglan Water Pill, but he had already gone all out to compete with Zhang Xiangshen's Blood Pill Yuan Qi in his body, and it was impossible to easily swallow any pills that increased mana and increase variables.

"No, don't be pressured to pass on the spirit, you are a member of my Zhang family, it is impossible for Yuan Lie and I to watch you suffer, we must always stand up for you. In this kind of major matter related to the path, we must not take a step back easily, otherwise we will delay our own path, and it is likely to be too late to regret it in the future, and it will also make people think that my Zhang family is weak and can be bullied. ”

Zhang Xiangshen opened his mouth when he heard this, and said so.

"That's right, Chuan Ling, even if you have to let it this time, it must be those Purple Mansion cultivators in the sect who come to my Zhang family to ask for help, take advantage of favors, and push the Gan family out. Want benefits, but don't want to take a favor? It's not that cheap. ”

When he said this, Zhang Lie paused slightly, then turned his head to Zhang Chuanshu on the side and said:

"There are two things to do well in passing on to you. One is that he must reward this Zhang Tongsheng generously, although it is impossible to give him the market price of Canglan Grass, but raise his treatment to the level of the family elder for sixty years, and tell him that as long as he can cultivate to the ninth layer of Qi cultivation realm before the age of sixty, the family will give him two Zhuji Dan, and the third and fourth can also borrow five layers. ”

"Second, you must find out the thief, find out who sent the letter to the Gan family, and allow you to use the Shingon Pill, after finding out...... You know what to do. ”

The Mantra Pill is a kind of elixir, and at the same time it can also be boiled into a decoction, it is a weakened version of the Asking Divine Rune, and it has a poor effect on the strong-willed, but it is enough for low-level monks in most cases.

The next day, the Zhang family and the others discussed the matter with the local monks of the Gan family.

The Gan family is the Zifu family, the ancestor of the Gan family, Gan Wenzhe, has quite a means, although the mana is not weak, but in the battle with Danyang Palace, he did not have too much blood debt, because he did not do things absolutely, and he did not have an undying hatred with the high-ranking monks of Danyang Palace, so after the collapse of the Northern Seventeen Sects, the Gan family could still keep the mountain gate.

It is said that he has a good relationship with Huang Yuexian, the first refiner of Danyang Palace, although he is a family that has defected, but he has quite a face inside Danyang Palace.

However, even this treacherous and cunning ancestor couldn't help but smile bitterly when he saw the patriarch of the Zhang family, Zhang Xiangshen, and Zhang Lie and others all coming.

"Two fellow Daoists, I didn't expect such a trivial matter, but they also alarmed the two of them, this is really a little old man."

Gan Wenzhe said as he clasped his fists and saluted.

This person looks like he is in his fifties, with a big head, and his body looks like a three-foot child, although he looks funny, but his cultivation is very profound, and he has reached the eighth layer of the Purple Mansion.

It's just that the avenues are competing, and many times there is not so much respect for the old and love for the young.

"Gan Daoyou, the matter has come to this, it is not interesting to talk about this, since we have arrived, there should be a result in this matter today. Yuan Lie is not willing to fight for the patriarch to learn Taoism with Gan Daoyou, if I defeat the Zhang family, I will naturally offer the Canglan grassland things, and come to the Gan family to make amends. ”

Zhang Lie didn't say vaguely to Gan Wenzhe at all, if the ownership of this Canglan grassland was not clear, once it was taken to the sect, it would be very disadvantageous for Zhang Chuanling to rank after refining the Canglan Water Dan, it would be very disadvantageous for Zhang Chuanling, it would be difficult for her to compete with those old Purple Mansion monks in Danyang Palace, and it could even be said that these old guys refused to retreat, and before they were at the end of their lives, it was impossible for a new Purple Mansion monk like Zhang Chuanling to compete with them.

However, Gan Wenzhe also smiled bitterly when he heard this, although he was conceited and cultivated, and the Taoism was not weak, but the ...... in front of him

"It seems that the Three Corpse Demon Lords have completely forgotten the old man, and also, back then, when the Demon Lord was rampant in the Seventeen Sects of the North, how could he remember the old man, the general of the defeated army."

As he spoke, Gan Wenzhe untied his cyan robe, and on his chest, there was still a deep and long diagonal sword mark on his chest, which was shocking.

"The Great Five Elements Birth and Destruction Sword Qi!"

As soon as he saw this sword mark, Zhang Lie vaguely remembered a siege battle many years ago, there seemed to be such an unlucky ghost back then, who was slashed out two miles by his own sword, and he was surrounded by a group of monks of the Northern Seventeenth Sect at that time, and he didn't care about the life or death of that guy. Now, the image of that guy overlapped with the image of the old man in front of him.

"The Three Corpse Demon Lords almost took half of the old man's life with a sword back then, and now the old man doesn't have many years to live, and he really doesn't want to learn the Demon Lord's sword skills again in his lifetime."

At Gan Wenzhe's age and family situation, he doesn't care much about face anymore. And at this moment, the bitter master came to the door, and Zhang Lie was speechless for a while, not knowing what to say.

"Ahem, Brother Gandao, Yuan Lie was young and vigorous back then, and I often talked about him for this. But let's not mention the things of the past, and there must be a solution to today's affairs. In this way, I won't make a move, and of course Yuan Lie won't make a move, two wins in three games, so how about letting Chuan Ling come and ask the old gentleman for a lesson or two? ”

Zhang Lie's Great Five Elements Extinction Sword Qi got out of the cage of the Ancient Great Five Elements Exterminating Sword Qi, although the lethality was not greatly improved, but the Five Elements Sword Qi was derived and entangled endlessly, which was ten times more difficult to drive away than the simplicity of the Ancient Great Five Elements Exterminating Sword Qi.

Zhang Xiangshen could see at a glance that although Gan Wenzhe had the cultivation of the eighth layer of the Purple Mansion, but after being slashed by Zhang Lie, it would be good to still have the actual cultivation of the fourth layer of the Purple Mansion left, and Zhang Chuanling's new promotion to the second layer of the Purple Mansion realm, coupled with the killer black blood spider that he had just succeeded, he was quite sure that he could defeat Gan Wenzhe.

Of course, considering the variables of the fighting method, Zhang Xiangshen proposed a best-of-three bet, Zhang Chuanhong will definitely be able to win one, then the remaining Zhang Chuanshu and Zhang Chuanling, any of them can win one.

"Best of three games?"

Gan Wenzhe's gaze crossed Zhang Xiangshen and Zhang Lie, and fell on Zhang Chuanling, Zhang Chuanshu, and Zhang Chuanhong.

Nodding his head, he said:

"In this way, no matter whether you gain or lose, the old man can be regarded as having an explanation."

Both Zhang Xiangshen and Zhang Lie knew in their hearts that according to the Gan family's intentions, their family was not willing to compete with the Zhang family at all.

But there are also faint factional entanglements in Danyang Palace, the Zhang family belongs to the faction of the Great Elder Xiao Shan Zhenjun, while the Gan family belongs to the faction of the real person in charge, Zhuge Ke himself probably doesn't want to confront the faction of Xiao Shan, but he himself is unwilling, and the people around him will also push him to do so, and the interests are over.

In the mountains and forests outside Taihe City, a monk of the Gan family flew out of the crowd, bowed to the people of the Zhang family, and then sacrificed his own offensive and defensive weapons.

"Chuanling, today's gambling fight, you will preside over it, no matter whether you win or lose, don't complain."

"Deliver the spirit and obey."

Zhang Chuanling responded to the order, and then sent Zhang Chuanhong out after a little thought.

She knew in her heart that the more she was in the battle of low-level cultivators, the more difficult it would be for a spirit beast like the Black Blood Spider to parry and resist.

Zhang Chuanhong will inevitably win the first game.

"In fact, with the current momentum of my Zhang family, the Gan family will not dare to say anything if they don't carry out this gambling fight, but there are indeed some problems with the ownership of that Canglan grass, instead of pushing the problem to the sect and letting the sect monks of the Purple Mansion have a strong effect, it is better for us to solve a lot less trouble in private."

At this time, Zhang Chuanhong had already struck with his sword, and he was in a fierce battle with the Gan family monk opposite.

Zhang Chuanhong didn't work very hard in his practice, relying on some smart talents and taking shortcuts, so in the early years, neither Zhang Xiangshen nor Zhang Lie was very optimistic about him, but even more optimistic about the down-to-earth and hard-working Zhang Chuanshu. But if the left road is cleared, it is also an achievement.

Zhang Chuanhong has been refining double cultivation over the years, with the family caravan going south and north, there are comfortable nests everywhere, and there are old friends everywhere, and he has cultivated his mana through the means of replenishment, and he has cultivated extremely deeply, surpassing the monks of the later stage of foundation building at the same level, plus he has to guard the family caravan, and he has a lot of experience in sword fighting, and finally after years of practice, each sword is faintly containing great power, and because of his nature, he doesn't like to fight hard, and the flying sword swordsmanship moves are biased towards the subtle changes of the mysteries.

This combination is quite difficult in actual combat.

After so many years, Zhang Lie has strengthened Zhang Chuanhong's black black hook sacrifice to the third-order upper grade, Zhang Lie himself is a top master of swordsmanship, plus he knows Zhang Chuanhong, so although the black light and black hook is a third-order top grade in Zhang Chuanhong's hands, he can use the power of the third-order top order, and I am afraid that ordinary third-order top ranks do not have such a good hand.

Although the Gan family monk had a solid foundation in attack and defense with a flying sword and a wooden shield, he was gradually forced into the upper hand, and the aura shield that spread out with the wooden shield as the center gradually weakened.

Finally, with the roar of the jet-black sword light, the wooden shield in the hand of the Gan family monk on the opposite side suddenly made a burst of shattering sounds, cracks and densely packed, and the sword light of the black hook had already fallen to the end.

Although there is a Purple Mansion monk of this family nearby, this kind of battle will definitely not be life-threatening, but if this sword falls, it will be a victory or defeat.

However, at this moment, the ordinary-looking Gan family monk suddenly roared, and a raging mana flame suddenly emerged from the center of his body, resisting the fall of the jet-black sword light above his head, and at the same time, with his finger, a golden mango in the flame turned into a streamer, and immediately slashed towards Zhang Chuanhong in front of him, which was actually overwhelming!
