Chapter 167: The Zhang Family's Camphor Tree

That night, Zhang Tianlong still came on time, and still drew a large number of combat skills for Zhang Ye to crack. The two of them have a rowing skill and a cracking skill, and before they know it, it is already dawn.

Before leaving, Zhang Tianlong said slowly: "Zhang Ye, do you know why I came here every day to let you crack the battle technique?"

Zhang Ye Zheng pondered for a moment and said, "Could it be that the True Palace attaches great importance to understanding?"

Zhang Tianlong smiled and said, "You are very smart, that's pretty much it." After becoming a disciple of the True Temple, you still have to go through a test. This time, the test is divided into qualifications, understanding and willpower, those with excellent grades can worship the temple master as a teacher, and those with lower grades can only worship the elders as teachers. Those with the worst grades can only cultivate on their own. ”

Zhang Yezheng nodded, Zhang Tianlong's answer did not exceed his expectations.

Thinking of the headache-inducing qualifications, Zhang Yeyu stepped out and asked, "Fifth Elder, I feel that my understanding is okay. But my qualifications are not good. I want to ask, is there any way to improve the qualifications of the family?"

"Improve qualifications?" Zhang Tianlong smiled and said, "You come with me." ”

Zhang Ye followed behind Zhang Tianlong and went straight to the back mountain.

Walking into a secret place in the back mountain, Zhang Tianlong, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped and said, "Family master, we are here." ”

"The head of the family, the head of the Qingsang Lu family, Zhang Legend?" Zhang Ye Zheng was moved, and looked ahead with Zhang Tianlong's gaze, only to see a tall purple-robed middle-aged man, standing under a tall tree with his hands in his hands. The trees were tall, but this purple-robed middle-aged man was obviously taller. When Zhang Ye's gaze looked over, the purple-clothed middle-aged man's gaze happened to also look over, and a faint coercion followed.

The Fifth Elder Zhang Tianlong was also able to give Zhang Yeyi and a feeling of depression, but the feeling of depression coming from this purple-robed middle-aged man was a few points stronger than Zhang Tianlong. Obviously, the strength of this purple-robed middle-aged man is a few points stronger than Zhang Tianlong.

Zhang Ye bowed and said, "Zhang Ye has seen the head of the family. ”

Zhang Legend, a middle-aged man in a purple robe, looked at Zhang Ye, smiled suddenly, and said: "At the age of fourteen, you have become the first person in the young generation of Qingsang City, and become a disciple of the True Palace, Zhang Ye, you have done a very good job, very good." ”

Zhang Tianlong said at this time: "Family master, Zhang Ye is here to improve his qualifications, you see ......." ”

Zhang Legend Zheng nodded and said to Zhang Ye: "Zhang Ye, since you are a member of our Zhang family, the family will naturally do its best to cultivate you." Your qualifications are only eight grades, and we can't help you upgrade your qualifications to two or three grades. But with the strength of our family, it is still possible to give you a small upgrade in qualifications. ”

Speaking of this, Zhang Legend paused for a moment and said, "But pies won't fall from the sky in vain." It is not easy to collect the family's resources, and if you use the family's resources, you must give the family corresponding returns. Zhang Ye, we can upgrade your eight-rank qualification to six-grade. But we also have one condition, and I hope you can say yes. ”

Zhang Legend's practice of treating Zhang Ye as an equal person and showing the conditions to speak made Zhang Ye feel good. Zhang Ye said respectfully: "The head of the family, please speak."

As long as I can do it, I will do my best. ”

A hint of joy flashed in Zhang Legend's eyes, and he waved his hand and took Zhang Ye to a small canyon.

As soon as he stepped into this small canyon, Zhang Ye immediately felt the difference. He found that in this small canyon, there was an extremely fresh aroma, this fresh aroma seemed to have a huge effect on the body, Zhang Ye Zheng took a breath, and immediately felt that his mind was a little clearer than usual.

"What a wonderful fragrance! Is there something terrible in this canyon?" Zhang Ye thought secretly in his heart.

Zhang Ye followed the legend of Zhang into the valley bottom of the canyon, and saw a verdant tree the size of a hug, which was growing quietly on a platform. The leaves of this verdant tree are in an alternate state, unusually green, a little more verdant than the young leaves that grow after the light rain in March. And its trunk is a black one, and through the cracks in the trunk, you can clearly see the stripes inside.

The leaves, flowers, and stems of this tree are all exuding a fragrance. The fresh scent of this canyon emanates from this tree. ,

Zhang Ye took a deep breath and said, "This, this is a camphor tree?"

Zhang Legend nodded signively and said, "Yes, this is a tree." But this is no ordinary camphor tree. ”

He approached the camphor tree, stroked the branches of the camphor tree, and said slowly: "Our Zhang family came to this Langsang City to gain a foothold a thousand years ago. Later, there was an amazing and brilliant old ancestor in the family, and this old ancestor cultivated to the ninefold martial arts in just over forty years. Before he was fifty years old, he broke through the martial arts, entered the realm of the true path, and went to the wider Shijie outside.

Before leaving the family, the ancestor made a series of stalls. One of the arrangements was to find a spirit tree, break off one of the branches of this spirit tree, bring it back to the family, and let the family plant it one by one

Zhang Ye's heart moved, pointed to the camphor tree in front of him, and said, "This camphor tree is the branch of the spirit tree that the ancestor broke off, right?"

Zhang Legend smiled and said, "That's right. The branch of the tree back then, after being carefully cultivated by the family, slowly grew into this tree. It's just that this tree is only a branch after all, and its spirituality has been greatly lost, and it can never be compared with the real spirit tree. ”

Speaking of this, a trace of regret appeared in Zhang Legend's eyes.

Zhang Ye pondered for a moment and said, "May I ask the family master, what is the effect of this camphor tree for our cultivation?"

Zhang Legend Zheng smiled and said: "All camphor trees naturally carry a fresh fragrance. This aroma has the effect of regulating qi and invigorating blood, calming the mind and calming the mind. Although the camphor tree of our Zhang family is not a real spirit tree, it can also focus on a small amount of heaven and earth essence, and these heaven and earth essence qi are the most refined, which is of great benefit to cultivation. In addition, the aroma it exudes also has all kinds of wonderful effects for Wu Kan. Cultivating under the camphor tree can enter a deeper state of cultivation, and even make people enter an epiphany. And when cultivating, the essence of heaven and earth will become even more refined after this tree's considerations......"

Zhang Ye listened to Zhang Legend explain the benefits, and couldn't help but say out loud: "Family Master, what do you want me to do?"

"Hehe......" Zhang Legend smiled and said solemnly: "This camphor tree is not a real spirit tree, it can only absorb the essence of heaven and earth, but it cannot absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and it is extremely difficult to grow. This tree, from planting to the present, has grown for 700 years before it has grown to this size. If you want to grow up again, it will take a thousand years.

I know from ancient texts that the best way to make these trees grow quickly is to find some companion trees for them. In other words, if you can find one or two more branches of the Spirit Tree and let them grow together, then their growth rate will be much faster by ....... ”

Hearing this, Zhang Ye said, "Family Master, do you want me to find more branches of the Spirit Tree to come back?"

Zhang Legend nodded. A hint of bitterness appeared on his face, and he said, "We old guys have been trapped in Martial Arts Yae for a long time. If you want to advance to the Martial Dao Ninefold, one way is to get a few spirit fruits and refine the elixir. But the spiritual fruit is hard to find, and we have to give up.

We are now putting our hopes on this camphor tree. This camphor tree has all kinds of wonderful uses for cultivation, and long-term cultivation under the tree will definitely allow us to improve quickly. But this camphor tree is so small that if we cultivate under the tree, a large amount of heaven and earth essence qi that it has gathered will definitely damage its origin. After thinking about it, we felt that the most effective solution was to find more branches of the spirit tree and let this camphor tree grow faster for us to cultivate ....... ”

Listening to Zhang Legend's somewhat bitter words, Zhang Ye couldn't help but be moved, and once again felt the difficulty of cultivation.

After pondering for a while, Zhang Ye smiled bitterly: "Family Master, I have only seen this thing in the classics. My eldest son is so big that I haven't even seen a spirit tree. It seems that this task of breaking the branches of the Spirit Tree is not an ordinary difficulty. ”

Zhang Legend said slowly: "This task is a bit difficult. I wanted to ask for a few spirit fruit alchemy, but I ran millions of miles, and I walked all over the surrounding cities, but I couldn't find one. But ......"

Zhang Legend set his eyes on Zhang Ye and said: "Although the task is difficult, Zhang Ye, you are not an ordinary person, and you will have a long road ahead." So, I'm sure you can do it. I hope you can agree to my request, so that our Zhang family can come out of more masters and be able to stand on this wild land for a long time. ”

Zhang Ye groaned, nodded solemnly, and said, "I will do my best in this matter." But when you will be able to find the Spirit Tree, this is a difficult thing to say. ”

Hearing Zhang Ye agree, a smile appeared on Zhang Legend's face. He knew that Zhang Ye was a person who had obtained the inheritance of the ancient race, and all the people who had obtained the inheritance of the ancient race were more outstanding. As long as there are no accidents, Zhang Ye will definitely be able to go extremely far on the path of cultivation.

can get Zhang Ye's consent, and he can also let go of this matter.

Zhang Legend smiled and said, "Okay, now I'll talk about improving our qualifications." ”。 )。 Well, I just took a look, the monthly pass is sixty, and someone wants to change it for four more. It's just, it's just...... Someone has a little thing today, and it's already evening when he comes back after dealing with it, and he can't finish the fourth ...... anymore. I broke my word. Today, someone can only change three clips first, and the remaining chapter will be made up tomorrow. Sweat......
