Li Letian paused here when he said this, and then continued: "The Liuhe Sect is located three hundred miles east of the Sanqing Gate, and there are four Jindan monks, eight foundation building monks, and dozens of qi refining disciples in the gate; there are three Jindan monks, six foundation building monks, and dozens of qi refining disciples in the Five Elements Sect; Cui's family, as a cultivation family, has six Jindan monks in the clan, two of whom serve as deacons in Fufa Mountain, and ten foundation building monks, and nearly 100 qi refiners in the family. These three factions can only rely on the tribute of many small forces under their sect to support their expenses, not to mention that there are other sources of income. ”

"Among them, the Liuhe Sect mainly relies on selling materials to obtain spirit stones, the Five Elements Sect refines talismans, and the Cui family has the only spirit stone mine in the vicinity because of the backing of the Fufa Mountain, and the family has the thickest foundation. Only our Sanqingmen does not have any subordinate forces, nor does it have any other source of income, so that it has fallen into this field. ”

Zhou Xiang nodded: "Then how do these factions have to do with us?"

"The relationship is very good!" Li Letian explained, "Although we are attached to it, because Fufa Mountain is close to Lidaomen, and the monks of Lidaomen are mercenary, and there is no morality to talk about at all, so we often have conflicts with Fufa Mountain, and we are close to the border, and we will often face the provocation of Lidaomen, so we are all unanimous to the outside world." The fact that this sect has been able to persist to this day is also due to the fact that the other three forces will lend us some spirit stones. ”

"I see," Zhou Xiang thought for a moment, and then asked, "Do the monks of the Lidaomen often come to the Sanqingmen to provoke?"

"There have been no more decades, although we are the closest to Lidaomen, but this door is too poor! Lidaomen is not profitable early, and they especially believe in feng shui, and they are afraid that they will get bad luck when they come to us, so they are generally looking for trouble with Cui's family, even if they reach the boundary of Sanqingmen, they will go around. Li Letian said helplessly.

"That's it!" Zhou Xiang was a little amused, "It seems that being poor is not necessarily a bad thing." ”

"Okay, you help me run an errand and tell the disciples in the sect, don't reveal the current affairs of the Sanqing Sect, pay attention to keeping a low profile, what it was like in front of other sects before, try to keep it as much as possible. ”

"Yes!" Li Letian said yes and went out to inform.

Zhou Xiang sat alone for a while, and then found a quiet room to rest, and by the way, he could also protect Zhang Shen nearby.

Three days later, Elder Du Wei finally returned, and he had purchased all the materials that were missing for the Gate Protection Formation, and he had also bought back dozens of sets of monk's robes.

After entering the meeting hall to report to Zhou Xiang, Du Wei handed over the remaining spirit stones to Zhou Xiang, and Zhou Xiang arranged for the head Chen Chaoran to accept them.

"Uncle Shi, the materials for the big array of protecting the door are all available right now, but the operation of the big array still needs medium-grade or high-grade spirit stones, and there are quite a few of them, considering that Uncle Shi may have them, so the senior nephew has not exchanged them. Zhang Shen added.

"How much does it take?" asked Zhou Xiang.

"If it is just to maintain operation, it will take almost two hundred medium-grade spirit stones, and it will have to be replaced once a year; if it is replaced with high-grade spirit stones, two hundred can be maintained for eight years and the effect is better; if the top-grade spirit stones can be used, it can be maintained for fifty years, and the protection and spirit gathering effect of the large array will be several times better. Du Wei explained.

"Here are two hundred top-grade spirit stones, you take them to repair the formation, and open them as soon as possible after repairing. Zhou Xiang took out the corresponding top-grade spirit stone and handed it to Du Wei to put it away.

When Chen Zhangmen and Du Wei saw so many top-grade spirit stones, their hearts were once again deeply shocked.

Then Du Wei turned around and went out to repair the formation.

"Senior Uncle Ancestor, Elder Du also brought back dozens of sets of robes this time, and I will take them now to find Senior Brother to engrave the door emblem, so that the disciples can all change them. Chen Chaoran pleaded.

"Okay, go do it!"

After Chen Chaoran left, Zhou Xiang entered the quiet room again to take a look at Zhang Shen, and found that his foundation had been solidified, as long as he gradually practiced for a period of time, there would be no problem with Jindan's later cultivation.

Next, Zhou Xiang walked out of the meeting hall and slowly flew into the air, the Sanqing Gate was already neat at the moment, the wide bluestone streets were clean, the tall trees were luxuriant, the bungalows on both sides were new, and the building halls were standing majestically, beginning to reveal an invisible majesty.

The whole clean-up and restoration project is nearing completion, and there are still many monks carving and reinforcing the forbidden buildings, and there are monks in the distant wilderness clearing weeds and sowing some seeds of medicinal herbs;

Seeing that there were energetic monks passing by from time to time in the heavens and on the ground, and there was a vibrant scene inside the door, Zhou Xiang felt very relieved.

At this moment, from the boundary of the Sanqing Gate, a piece of light suddenly rose, and then covered the entire sky, and finally shrouded the Sanqing Gate. Seeing this, many disciples stopped to watch, and the heavenly brilliance gradually became thicker, and began to glow with colorful light, and finally disappeared again.

Heaven and earth are still the same, and the scenery is the same, but the spiritual power in the entire Sanqing Gate has slowly increased, from the original thinness to thickness, and finally maintained at a certain level. Although this concentration was half inferior to the spiritual power that Zhou Xiang felt when he was in the Tianxuan Sect, it was also more than ten times stronger than the previous Sanqing Sect.

Disciples near and far began to cheer loudly. If you stand outside the Sanqing Gate at this moment, you will see that the entire sect gradually becomes blurred, and finally it is shrouded in a thick fog, leaving only the entire dense forest, which is full of mist and wilderness.

The original Sanqingmen has disappeared, even the Fang City is gone, occasionally a few Sanqingmen monks come with swords, when approaching the dense fog, the identity jade plate on their waists will be brightly lit, and the dense fog will automatically separate a passage, and after the monks enter, it will be bridged as before.

Zhou Xiang knew that the gate protection array had been opened, and the sect finally had a layer of shelter and protection.

In the afternoon, the cleaning project in the entire Sanqing Gate was over, and all the disciples also changed into brand-new robes, and a vibrant sect was appearing in front of Zhou Xiang.

According to the plan, the council hall inside the gate will be torn down and rebuilt. However, before that, Zhou Xiang summoned the monks above the foundation in the door, and invited Shen Wanqing's ancestors and grandsons by the way, and even Zhang Shen, who had just stabilized his cultivation, also attended the meeting.

Looking at Zhang Shen, who was still in a dying state before, but now he has been promoted and full of vitality, Du Wei sighed in his heart, and almost became a loner.

Fortunately, there is no endless road, and old friends for so many years can still withhold wood in spring, and Uncle Shi's strength is really unfathomable.

"Everyone!"

Zhou Xiang sat at the top of the meeting hall, with Shen Zhuoran and Shen Wanqing on his left, Zhang Shen and Du Wei on his right, and five foundation-building monks headed by Chen Chaoran standing below.

"First of all, thank you all for your busyness in the past few days, so that this sect finally has the appearance of an immortal Taoist sect. I believe that this is just a good start, and the future of Sanqingmen will be brighter in the future. Zhou Zhiguang glanced down and saw that everyone was looking at him, his eyes full of hope. He smiled.

"But it's not enough to just sit and eat the empty mountains, no matter how many spirit stones I have in my hands alone, if I can't have a stable income, sooner or later I will spend it all. So in the past few days, I have thought about it carefully, and Sanqingmen must have its own strength, and this strength will also be the main source of spiritual stones for this sect in the next few years. ”

Speaking of this, he stretched out his left hand forward: "Let me introduce, this is my grandfather-in-law, Shen Zhuoran Shen Gong, although Shen Gong's current cultivation is only in the late stage of foundation building, and he has not participated in the Danshi certification in the Dan League, but refining the four-grade pill is not a problem at all." ”

Zhou Xiang's words made everyone in Sanqingmen widen their eyes in surprise, and their eyes looking at Shen Zhuoran were full of little stars, which was really hidden! Shen Shopkeeper was not only the grandfather-in-law of his uncle (ancestor), but also a four-grade alchemist, a four-grade alchemist!

The highest grade of the Dan Master in the entire Shuizuo District was an honorary elder of the Tongxuan Sect, a full seven rank! The highest Dan Master enshrined by other first-class forces in the region was the sixth rank, and the fifth-grade alchemist was also worshiped high among the first-class forces. As for the many second-rate forces in Shuizuo District, there are not many who can afford to hire fourth-grade alchemists, and most of them are third-grade and second-grade. In the past, as a third-rate force, Sanqingmen was so poor that he couldn't even afford to hire a first-grade alchemist, and there was only one three-class alchemist in the floating mountain gate above.

Now this sect not only has a Yuanying monk, who can appear as a second-rate force to the outside world, but also has a four-rank Dan master, this Dan master is also the grandfather-in-law of the uncle (ancestor), and others can't dig it up if they want to.

Thinking of this, everyone was excited. After Zhou Xiang finished his introduction, they saluted one after another, and even Zhang Shen and Du Wei, who were one level higher than Shen Zhuoqun, stepped forward to say hello very respectfully, putting aside Shen Zhuoqun's identity as Zhou Xiang's grandfather, the name of a four-rank Dan master alone could completely ignore the gap in cultivation.

"Shen Gong, you are really hiding deeply!" Chen Chaoran said with a smile.

"Yes! I was so sloppy before!" Huang Daoyuan echoed.

"I can occasionally see a pint of pills in the pill shop, and I think that Shen Lao's alchemy is already amazing, and he can actually refine a pinned pill! It turns out that this is still a defective product that your old man has not refined!" Li Letian joked beside him.
