longevity road trip

So far, this gigantic city, which ranks among the best in the practice world, will be under the control of Zhang Shiping, the new Yuanying ancestor of Xuanyuanzong, for the next 180 years.

Therefore, in addition to controlling the large and small magic circles in the city, Zhang Shiping also understood things that could only be vaguely estimated before.

For example, the number of Jindan and Foundation Establishment monks who live in the city and rent out Lingshan Xiushui as a cave for cultivation.

There are also those large and small shops in the square market, as well as the small sects, families or high-level monks behind these shops, and of course their general income and so on.

And when Zhang Shiping and Tianfeng handed over matters, dozens of monks came at the same time outside the Green Fire Valley in a tacit understanding.

Among them, there are nine Jindan monks in front, and behind each Jindan real person, there are twenty monks in the middle and late stages of foundation establishment, standing in a row.

These monks came here to Xuanyuanzong and Bixiao Palace to be guards in the city. Of course, they were also responsible for collecting business taxes and other matters, and finally reported to the guardian Yuanying Zhenjun.

Otherwise, if there were no these guardian monks, no matter how superb the escape method and the powerful spiritual consciousness of Zhang Shiping, the ancestor of Yuanying, he would not be able to guard the entire Binhai City.

The army in the city is divided into nine, and each Jindan real person leads one of them, and is responsible for guarding and patrolling a large and surrounding small and medium-sized city.And each Jindan commander has twenty foundation builders and two hundred Qi refining monks under his command.

Including Zhang Shiping, a Nascent Soul cultivator, there are a total of 900 people.

Although there are only a mere [-] monks, it is not impossible to wipe out those newly established Yuanying sects or the old Jindan family with just these people.

It's just that at this moment, whether it's the nine Jindan real people or the 180 foundation-builders who came this time, the expressions on most people's faces are extremely solemn, and only the three real people from Bixiao Palace should relax a bit.

Although every time the Yuanying Patriarch who guards Binhai City takes turns, some of them will definitely be replaced by this true king's confidant

But because according to the past practice, if the newly promoted Yuanying Patriarch of one sect guards Binhai City, then among the nine Jindan leaders, three monks from the other sect must be retained.

Before that, it was Tianfeng who was on duty, so now six of the nine Jindan commanders have long been Xuanyuanzong's Jindan real people.

After these Jindan and Foundation Establishment cultivators waited quietly for a while, the Valley Formation fell quietly, Zhang Shiping and Tianfeng walked out of it, and came in front of everyone.

"My subordinates pay respects to Zhenjun Tianfeng and Zhenjun Shiheng." Everyone bowed in unison.

"Everyone, please stand up!" Tianfeng stepped forward and said loudly.

Everyone thanked them, then got up, silently, with a strict discipline.

"I'll leave these people to you. Just give orders. If you think anyone is inappropriate, just replace them." Tianfeng turned around and said.

Then, in front of everyone, he handed a tiger card and a roll of roster into Zhang Shiping's hands, then soared into the sky, turned into a blue rainbow, and flew towards the distance.

"For the next 180 years, I will be in charge of Binhai City. In the future, you will do well in many matters in the city. There is only one thing, what I said first, I hope you will abide by your duty." Zhang Shiping glanced at the crowd, Shen Sheng said.

"Keep in mind the teachings of the true king, we must remember them in our hearts, and don't dare to forget them." Everyone responded in unison.

"That's good. I will go to Liang Gufeng to practice soon. If you have something to report in the future, come to Liang Gufeng." Zhang Shiping said, he waved his hand lightly, then turned and walked back to Qinghuo Valley.

"Farewell to Zhenjun." Everyone bowed loudly again.

As soon as Zhang Shiping entered the valley, the spiritual light of the magic circle rising slowly covered his figure, and then everyone got up.

The six Xuanyuanzong Jindan masters all had some doubts in their eyes, but they didn't say anything directly, but gestured to each other with their eyes, communicated with each other, and then each used their means to kill the [-] people behind them. The subordinate took a roll and flew away.

Soon after, near Wuyuefang City, which is the closest to the Green Fire Valley, six rays of light of various colors flew over.

After the six Jindan Daoists put down the Foundation Establishment cultivators and ordered them to return to their posts, they came together to a courtyard halfway up a hill outside Fangshi.

After entering the courtyard, before the six Jindan Daoist entered the hall, a middle-aged Confucian scholar with a three-strand long beard frowned slightly and said to the five people:

"What do you think this Shiheng Zhenjun is planning? According to the leadership positions of the few of us, we should be replaced by two or three people, right? It's really uncomfortable to be silent now."

Several other people did not answer the words immediately, but walked into the hall, and after taking their seats, they raised up the courtyard magic circle.

Then a white-haired old man in a blue brocade robe stroked his beard and said, "Brother Ye, don't worry. You have not formed alchemy for a long time, so maybe you still don't know who this Shiheng Zhenjun is?"

"I still know a thing or two about this Shiheng Zhenjun, but I only know that he is the ancestor of the Zhang family in Chongling Mountain. As for the others, I really don't know. I hope Brother Gong can clarify." The middle-aged Confucian scholar said .

This Jindan cultivator surnamed Ye is a cultivator who has formed alchemy for more than ten years, because his ancestors have an old relationship with Tianfeng Zhenjun, so he got this leadership position.

It's just that Tianfeng Zhenjun didn't tell him too much about Zhang Shiping, he just asked him to obey his orders.

"More than two hundred years ago, I also sat down with Zhenjun Shiheng to discuss the Tao. At that time, Zhenjun Shiheng called me Daoist Gong. More than [-] years ago, I heard that he had retreated, but I didn't want to go out , he has already conceived a baby." Jin Dan, surnamed Gong, said with a smile.

"I didn't expect Brother Gong to have an old relationship with Zhenjun. It's really enviable. So, how does this Shiheng Zhenjun behave? Can you tell me about it, and let me know the likes and dislikes of Zhenjun, so as not to be careless for a while. , violated a taboo!" Ye surnamed Jin Dan complimented.

But he slandered secretly in his heart, "This old guy really likes to put gold on his face. If you really have friendship with Zhenjun Shiheng, how could he not even look at you just now?"

"That's easy to say. You know that Zhenjun Shiheng is only three hundred years old now, and he has already conceived a baby. From this, we can know that Zhenjun is a person who is obsessed with cultivation. Since joining the sect, when Zhenjun was in the Golden Core Stage The number of shots is not many, but there are quite a few golden pills that fell in his hands, such as Mu Tongling and Lushan three ghosts. Of course, these people have offended the real king, and the real king is not that moody Seniors, I will stick to my duty in the future." Said the old man surnamed Gong.

Chapter 769 Relationships

Hearing what old man Gong said, the five Jindan real people present couldn't help but be dumbfounded, it's just as if they didn't say anything.

Who doesn't understand such things as keeping one's duty?

One of the big bearded men pondered for a while before he said, "Young Daoist Gong, you don't need to say such clichés, it's a waste of everyone's time. Now that Zhenjun doesn't intend to replace me and the other commanding positions, then we'll do our best to serve you well." Now, I don’t need to think about other things. Jiumingfang City, where I am on duty, is the furthest away from here, and now it’s time for a change, so I can’t stay here for long, so I’ll take my leave first.”

It was said that the middle-aged Confucian student surnamed Ye, and a woman who looked like thirty and had a similar charm, also found a reason and said goodbye.

These two people followed behind the bearded man, walked out of the courtyard one after another, and flew away towards the distance.

Only the old man surnamed Gong, a monk in green with a calm face, and a seductive woman with peach blossom eyes were left behind.

After a long time after the three big men with bearded beards left, the monk in blue said, "Fellow Daoist Gong, if you don't have any other plans, then I'll leave too. As for the position of commander, we can do it for as long as we can. If you don't This spirit stone income, then the worst thing is that we go hunting monsters together again."

"It's hard to live a happy life for decades." The foxy girl sighed.

The old man surnamed Gong shook his head, put away his previous smile, and said solemnly:

"Don't worry about Li Daoyou and Liu Daoyou. The three of them were here just now. There are some things I can't talk about. I have met that Zhang family's Zheng Daoyou a few times, and I know some things about the Zhang family. This Shiheng really Jun was less than a hundred years old when he formed a pill, and now he is more than [-] years old when he conceived a baby, which is comparable to the old ancestor Qinghe in the past. It is precisely because of this. As far as I know, there are only Zheng Daoyou and Zhang Tianwu as the Golden Core cultivators of the Zhang family. In addition, there are no other Golden Core families or those casual cultivators attached to the Zhang family, so even if the real king wants to replace the leader , At most, there are only two people. The three of us still have a chance to keep the position of commander, so why not cooperate, at least give it a try, otherwise it will be a big loss if we don’t have this spirit stone income.”

Except for the top-grade spirit stones in the world of cultivating immortals, the upper and lower third-grade spirit stones are exchanged for about one hundred to one according to the richness of the spirit energy contained in each.

As for the quality of the spirit stone, it is further determined according to the amount of spiritual energy breathed and refined by the current monks during their practice.

The aura contained in a low-grade spirit stone is approximately equal to the aura that a monk with three attributes of spiritual roots can refine in an hour without using other methods of gaining cultivation.

The reason why monks with three spiritual roots are used to define is just to take an average number among the five spiritual roots.

The speed at which a foundation-building cultivator can refine aura is about ten times faster than that of a qi-refining cultivator.The same is true for Jindan and Nascent Soul monks.Of course, this is only an approximation, some of which are faster and some are slower, and it is not completely fixed.

Therefore, the aura that a cultivator with three spiritual roots can breathe out and refine after a day of practice is around a middle-grade spirit stone.

Based on this, a Jindan real person with three spiritual roots needs twelve middle-grade spirit stones for daily practice, and the middle-grade spirit stones needed for a whole year are in the early 40s, which is only [-] low-grade spirit stones. Lingshi.

A Tier [-] sea beast is only worth two to three thousand low-grade spirit stones, and Tier [-] monsters are worth even more, but except for some extremely rare and exotic beasts, most monsters are only worth four to five thousand spirit stones That's all.

If Jin Dan simply wanted to hunt and kill Tier [-] monsters, they would have to hunt and kill hundreds of them each year.

But after this, how can these real people have time to practice?

So usually if there are casual practitioners who have reached the golden core, if these real people have not found a suitable place to practice, they can only join the sect and get a place to practice, or rob other monks and take others to complete their cultivation. itself.However, apart from these two types, there are some Jindan real people who have studied all kinds of arts and become masters and grand masters. When these people make a move, they can earn far more spiritual stones than hunting monsters.

Of course, if they can hunt down the big monster, that's another matter.

As for the Nascent Soul Realm, that top-grade spirit stone is just what these true monarchs need for a day of practice.Furthermore, once they reach the bottleneck, if they want to practice diligently, they will need more spiritual objects.If they were all replaced with low-grade spirit stones, they might all be piled up into a small mountain.

Therefore, a fourth-tier blessed land is even more important to them, otherwise, no one can stand the consumption.

Therefore, in the world of cultivating immortals, almost every fourth-order blessed land is occupied by those Nascent Soul True Monarchs.

That's why on the side of Baimang Mountain, many Nascent Soul True Monarchs realized that Wan Jianmen was unable to control the entire mountain range, so they began to plan Zhengyang Peak and other blessed places.Although there is no shortage of blessed land in Xuanyuanzong's side, there is not too much of it.

However, from the aspect of refining the spirit stone, it can also be seen that there is a huge gap in the mana power of each layer among the monks.This is also a general reason why it is difficult for monks to leapfrog when they are fighting.

After listening to the old man surnamed Gong, Li Yuanqi, a cultivator in green, thought for a while before asking: "Then how do we cooperate? These things all depend on the true king's thoughts. We don't have that face. Can't say anything."

"Fellow Daoist Li, why can't you speak? I have heard that Zhenjun Shiheng once healed a female qi refining cultivator in your clan more than a hundred years ago. Although this person has passed away now, Zhenjun will not There must be a reason for helping each other for no reason. Fellow Daoist Li, if you have this kind of relationship, don’t forget me and Fellow Daoist Liu.” The old man surnamed Gong said with a smile.

"There are other things like this, I don't know. Do you know which female cultivator in my clan it is?" Li Yuanqi frowned.

"I don't know about this, and I just heard about it. You should go back and ask about this matter first." The old man said.

"There are such things, I naturally have to ask." Li Yuanqi nodded and said.

But he had actually heard about it.It's just that it's the matter of his clan brother Li Yuanshi and his daughter, who are not from the same line as him, so it really has nothing to do with it.

And Li Yuanshi, who was still the head of the Li family at that time, once told him about this matter.

That's because Li Yuanshi, the mother of a family brother, had a fellowship with Zhenjun Shiheng.But now that everyone has been there for so many years, the only friendship is probably gone long ago.

……

……

Just when the six Jindan leaders were planning their own plans, Zhang Shiping packed up his things, called Zheng Hengyun and Zhang Tianwu, and explained some things, then he came to Lianggufeng.

As for the Green Fire Valley and Green Bamboo Forest, as Tianfeng discussed with him, they left it to Zheng Hengyun and Zhang Tianwu.

Chapter 770

So far, with Zhang Shiping, Shiheng Zhenjun, guarding Binhai City, the Zhang family's reputation is no longer limited to the coastal areas of Nanzhou, but has spread throughout Nanzhou at a fast speed.

Even Western Desert, Northern Xinjiang, and even the Sea Clan and Monster Clan outside Canggu Ocean have all known about it one after another.

After all, a few years ago, Mozun led Huashen and Nascent Soul monks from all sides, so that there are only a hundred or so Nascent Soul monks left in Nanzhou.

Under such circumstances, the appearance of every Nascent Soul cultivator deserves more attention than before.

However, Zhang Shiping didn't pay too much attention to these things. He planned to continue to practice with great concentration during the 180 years he lived in Binhai City, and learned a few more secret methods of attack or self-protection to make up for his own shortcomings.He didn't plan to go out to explore some secret realm or do other things with other Daoist Nascent Soul before his own skills and magic weapons were fully prepared.

In addition, the "Xuanji Kui Fighting Sword" in "Wan Jiansheng" was also on the agenda.He planned to exchange the refined copper mined and refined from the red copper mine in Shuiyueyuan to exchange Feijian for other refined spiritual materials.

It's just that it will be a longer process.

In this way, although the 180 years seem to be ample time, when divided, Zhang Shiping still feels that it is a bit short.

However, like other Nascent Soul cultivators, especially Zhang Shiping, who has just conceived a baby and has a lifespan of more than two thousand years, no matter what they do, they are not in a hurry.

As for the Zhang family, although every new Yuanying family will start to expand its sphere of influence in order to obtain more benefits such as Lingshan, Shuifu, and even business routes.

But because there are only more than [-] monks in the Zhang family right now, their influence has not even reached out to Binhai City and its vicinity.

In a short period of time, there will not be too much conflict of interest between the various forces in Nanzhou and the Zhang family.

Other Nascent Soul cultivators would not turn against such a potential Nascent Soul Daoist who had conceived a baby in his early [-]s, especially a great ancestor of the Xuanyuan Sect who was passed down from ancient times.

According to the past, such a young Yuanying Zhenjun in the five sects is almost always a candidate for inheriting the spiritual treasure, and it is extremely difficult for each of them to fall halfway, and as time goes by, these monks will at least practice until Yuanying Later stage.

As for the nine Golden Core commanders in Binhai City, they made various plans, but none of them affected Zhang Shiping.

A few years later, among the six golden elixir of Xuanyuanzong, Zhang Shiping gave up the positions of the two who received the least commercial tax, and replaced them with Zheng Hengyun and Zhang Tianwu.

Although some people secretly felt that he, the ancestor of Yuanying, acted too cronyically, but when would he have the right not to use that?

Within the scope of one's own rights, it is nothing more than a normal thing to seek benefits for the clansmen!

……

Time flies, spring and autumn several times.

Seven years later, Zhang Tianya, the head of the Zhang family, passed away and died in Chongling Mountain.

After Zhang Shiping learned about it, he didn't come forward, and he didn't even appoint a candidate for the next head of the Zhang family. Instead, he left all matters to Zheng Hengyun and Zhang Tianwu to handle and make decisions.

As for Zhang Bixing, it was Zhang Tianya's great-grandson who gave him a ride and kept his filial piety for another three years.

No. 20 years after the end of the filial piety period, he was finally ready and set foot on a small island in the Bihu Island group.

Under the guardianship of the two Golden Cores of the Zhang family, he finally aroused the Golden Core Thunder Tribulation.

Zhang Shiping didn't show up, but paid attention to the matter of crossing the catastrophe with a ray of spiritual thoughts that resided in Zhang Tianwu.

Fortunately, Zhang Bixing did not feel ashamed of his more than 130 years of practice, nor did he live up to Zhang Shiping's expectations. He finally took that step and became the third Jindan Daoist in the Zhang family.

In the past 30 years, many things have happened on Baimang Mountain.

After Wanjianmen Guzhang returned from Binhai City, he recalled his disciples openly and aboveboard, and gave up the blessed land of Lingshan except Wanjianfeng and Xuanmuyuan, contracted his forces, and made his attitude clear.

When the other Nascent Soul cultivators saw Wan Jianmen acting like this, they no longer had any scruples, and shot mercilessly one by one, just to snatch one side of the practice land.

And Zhang Shiping originally planned to go to the Nine Birds Secret Realm, but it was not as good as the sky, the Mozun took Qing He and Ji Feng away together, so the matter of taking over the guarding of Binhai City was much earlier than he expected .

However, he simply gave up the quota this time to Tianfeng, as a repayment for the kindness of the past.

And the next opportunity to enter the country in 24 years, he will use it to exchange with Du Yu.

In this way, Du Yu had a reason to intervene in the matter of Baimang Mountain, to help Zhenjun Changshen keep the former foundation of Zhengyangzong in the open, and to help Tai Shuguang and Zhongli take down Luofenglin secretly.

After all, all the Nascent Soul monks in Nanzhou knew about Zhang Shiping's relationship with the Zhengyang Sect, and Du Yu also made it clear in advance when he fought other Nascent Soul Daoists.

In addition, Changshen's life is approaching, and he no longer spares his life, and Zhengyang Peak used to be the location of Zhengyangzong.

Those Nascent Soul cultivators who wanted to snatch the blessed place of practice, firstly, they were untenable in legal principles, and secondly, they didn't want to have a real life-to-death confrontation with Changshen, so they changed their targets.
