longevity road trip

Therefore, many Nascent Soul cultivators, if they have raised spirit beasts, most of them have been raised to be around the big monster, and then they start to take blood or simply kill them for other purposes.As for cultivating all the way up until the catastrophe, there are very few. After all, on balance, the former is more cost-effective, and the latter may be too uncertain.

In case of a little carelessness, hundreds of years of cultivation will be reduced to nothing.

"Then you should be more confident, don't let me down. I don't expect much from Bai Qi, and now it's up to you." Zhang Shiping saw some movement on the other side of the rockery, and said intentionally.

"Master, in terms of cultivation, I am not as good as that yellow-haired sheep, but in terms of the purity of my bloodline, it is not as good as me. When I reach his age, my cultivation will be far superior." Bai Qi jumped from the rockery. Go down, walk with your head held high, and the wind is like a tiger and a tiger.

Jiang Ru flipped his hands, took out a copper basin, landed with a bang, and poured half a pot of hot tea into it.

"Yellow-haired sheep, are you provoking trouble?" Bai Qi walked by, and with a flick of his front foot, the copper basin was kicked out of the waterside pavilion and fell into the water.

Jiang Si laughed loudly, "Why, if you don't drink like this, is it possible that you can still transform into a human form like me? Silly cat, your blood is pure and true, but you can really surpass me, why don't you see you open it?" Bloodline inheritance?"

"Don't worry, when I improve my cultivation level a little bit, I will naturally get the skills inherited from my family." Bai Qi said rather dissatisfied.

In fact, the blood of Jiang Xi's own family is somewhat purer than that of Bai Qi, otherwise he would not have naturally started the blood inheritance and obtained the method of his own practice.

"Okay, it's a good thing to have a bloodline inheritance, but it's not necessarily a bad thing without that. You can see that in the ancient fire crow clan, there were two venerables, Jinwu and Bi Fang, one after another. If you really have Ambition, why stick to the predecessors, you may not be able to find a way!" Zhang Shiping said, habitually raised his hand and touched Bai Qi's huge tiger head.

One man and two beasts chatted and laughed for a long time in the water pavilion.

Suddenly, Zhang Shiping said softly: "Since you are here, come in."

Outside the White Ape Palace, two people heard the words, bowed first, and then walked in one after the other.

After a while, the two came quickly, and outside the water pavilion, there was a small lake.

"Meet the ancestor." Zhang Tianwu and Zhang Tianming said, clasping their hands together.

Fast forward seven or eighty years, and the toddler in the past has now become a young man, and his cultivation has reached the middle stage of foundation establishment, and is faintly approaching the later stage.

"There's no need to be so polite, come here." Zhang Shiping said.

So many years have passed, Zhang Tianwu is still in the early stage of the golden core, although his cultivation is much deeper than when he formed the core, but he still can't break through the bottleneck of the next level, as if in this small world, there is no great opportunity for the monks with three spiritual roots Under such circumstances, one's lifetime cultivation is only limited to this, and it is extremely difficult to go up a half step.

Upon hearing the call, the two came over immediately.

"That's right, I haven't fallen behind in my practice these years, and I still need to work hard in the future." Zhang Shiping looked at Zhang Tianming closely, with a satisfied look on his face.

Not long after he was conceived, among the new generation in the family, this person had the best aptitude.

"It will definitely live up to the great expectations of our ancestors." Zhang Tianming said respectfully.

"Sit down and talk. I hope that there will be a few more golden cores in the clan, but cultivation is all up to you. It doesn't matter whether you work hard or relax, as long as you don't regret it in the future. Tim Wu, you What's the matter with the side communication?" Zhang Shiping said calmly, among the more than ten sound transmission jade slips in the formation just now, one was from Zhang Tianwu.

Since he was conceived, he has stopped asking about many things in the family.As for the practice of the younger generation, it is useless to force it.

Besides, his lifespan is not enough now, even if there are several generations in the Zhang family who don't produce a golden elixir, it doesn't matter, he has plenty of time to wait.Besides, he didn't intend to make the Zhang family into a big family like the Yan family, which has been passed down for thousands of years.

Hearing Zhang Shiping, the patriarch of the family say so, Zhang Tianming's face became more respectful.

And Zhang Tianwu on the side just smiled and patted his great-great-grandson on the shoulder,

He flipped his hands and took out a pale yellow ancient shell, and presented it to him: "Please take a look at it, ancestor."

"It's not like you, why are you still playing a mystery?" Zhang Shiping smiled, took it with one hand, urged to release a ray of consciousness, and penetrated into it.

After more than ten breaths, he put down Gu Bei, and asked with a trace of solemnity on his face: "This is your chance to form an alchemy, have you thought about it?"

"I've already thought about it. Since I formed the alchemy, I've been here three times. I've gone all over the periphery. I've taken everything that should be taken. Only the inner hall is left. Because of my own cultivation, I haven't entered it. Let alone conceiving a baby in Tian Wu's life, even reaching the middle stage of the golden core is a difficult task, so it's better to leave it to the ancestor." Zhang Tianwu said with a sigh.

Chapter 834 White Soul Fruit

"Since you've made up your mind, I'll accept it." Zhang Shiping said, and put away the ancient shell with a flip of his hand.

"Thank you, Patriarch." After Zhang Tianwu finished speaking, he sat down.

As for Zhang Tianming behind him, he did not sit down.

After all, the person present was either Zhenjun Yuanying or Daoist Jindan. As a junior, he naturally had to be respectful.

"Do you have other things?" Zhang Shiping said.

"Old Ancestor, Tianming got a strange treasure by accident. I searched through the books in the Tibetan Sutra Pavilion, but I couldn't figure out what it was, so I came here to ask the Ancestor. Tianming, take it out and show it to the Ancestor. Let's go." Zhang Tianwu said.

"A strange treasure? Take it out and let me have a look. What exactly is it? It's not even recorded in so many classics in the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion." Zhang Shiping was very interested when he heard it.

There are more than 4000 volumes of classics in Zhangjia's Buddhist scriptures pavilion, covering all aspects of practicing various arts.Seventy percent of these classics were excerpted by Zhang Shiping and opened to Yuanying monks by Yu Xuanyuanzong, [-]% were Zhengyangzong's [-]-year heritage, and the last small part was Zhang's own collection.

Except for those secrets that have been so long in ancient times that they cannot be known, and some unique inheritances of each family, it can basically be regarded as a thousand things.

Hearing this, Zhang Tianming first said: "Back to Patriarch, this thing is a jade coffin, there are some taboos, please don't take offense."

"No problem." Zhang Shiping nodded lightly.

Hearing this, he reached out and wiped the storage bag at his waist, a faint light flashed, and a jade coffin that was three-thirds larger than ordinary coffins crashed to the ground.

Zhang Shiping looked at the jade coffin, his spiritual consciousness was caged, but it immediately disappeared without a trace, he stood up immediately, and walked closer.

Looking from the somewhat transparent coffin lid, one could see an ancient corpse dressed in golden jade clothes lying in the coffin, the corpse had already decayed into bones.However, there is a root of spiritual grass growing on the mouth of the skeleton, which is full of fluff, with green leaves, and a round white fruit the size of a thumbnail grows on the top.

"Where did you get this from?" Zhang Shiping asked, he put one hand on the coffin, carefully perceiving the situation inside the coffin, he didn't notice any yin energy inside, and there was no mana fluctuation.

"This jade coffin was discovered by me and some friends in the sect in a half-walled cave called Dihuqiu in the central part of Nanzhou. At that time, there were three hanging jade coffins, and a few people like me drove the puppets to open one. However, once the coffin lid was opened, the rare gold and silver herb turned into a cloud of black air and disappeared without a trace." Zhang Tianming said.

"What about the remaining one?" Zhang Shiping said.

"In the hands of Wang Shoudu, this person is a monk from the Wang Family of Jiangu." Zhang Tianming immediately replied.

"That's really a pity, Wang Daoxiu probably won't let go." Zhang Shiping sighed.

Then he continued:

"The fellow Taoist in the coffin must have been good at divination. Look at the spirit grass in the mouth of the corpse. This thing is called soul yarrow. It is a kind of spirit grass used for divination. It looks like the turtle shell. It is a thing of copper coins, and the fruit it produces is called white soul, which has the effect of prolonging life for three months. Soul yarrow is not a rare thing, but if the corpse of a monk who was proficient in divination was used as its essence, after thousands of years Afterwards, it is somewhat possible to bear the fruit of the white soul, which can be regarded as a kind of human origin fruit."

"It has the effect of prolonging life." Zhang Tianwu said with joy on his face.

"Shou is determined by God. The thing that prolongs life is a rare thing in the world. I accept it. When you form the alchemy in the future, the old man will help you. In addition, I will remember your [-] points of merit and go to the clan to exchange for spiritual power." Things, this old man took advantage of you." Zhang Shiping didn't ask Zhang Tianming for his opinion.

This meritorious service is equivalent to a piece of spirit stone, of course, the value of this human yuan fruit is far beyond that.

"This thing is naturally in the hands of the ancestors, so it can exert its greatest value." Zhang Tianming said immediately, cupping his hands.

As soon as he heard that the white soul fruit can prolong life, he had already thought of this situation. Besides, the value of life prolonging things in the world depends on who uses them.

Zhang Shiping smiled slightly, feeling much more at ease.He can't use this white soul man yuan fruit for the time being, but who would despise too much of a life-prolonging thing?

"Tianming, it's not easy for me to come forward and ask for it. You can find that Wang Shoudu in a few days. If he hasn't handed over this spiritual fruit to Wang Daoxiu, then find an excuse and exchange it. Wang Daoxiu's birthday is now Yuan has passed [-] yuan, and it seems that Zuohua has been less than a hundred years old. If I show up, even if he is willing to give up this thing, I will definitely have to pay a favor on my side, which is not worth it! Life is the number of days. There are a lot of taboos about the improvement of foreign objects. This white soul fruit can only be used once in a lifetime, if it is taken more than once, it will be no different from a poison, and it will damage the vitality of life."

"Don't worry, Patriarch. I will find an excuse to go to his house in two days. I know this friend very well. He is probably looking up all kinds of classics secretly by himself and won't ask. It belonged to our ancestors." Zhang Tianming nodded and smiled.

"If the matter is not completed, don't be so sure. As you said, this person is probably alert and cautious, so don't let him see anything. If this white soul fruit can be found, it can also enrich the people in the lower clan. The background, maybe some of you will be able to use it someday. Our Zhang family is still weak in some respects, and there are many other Nascent Soul families. , how many disciples of the younger generation can be seen in the family?" Zhang Shiping said.

"Old Ancestor, since this Jiazi period, 320 seven monks have been added to the family. Most of them are false spirits with four or five spiritual roots. There are 39 monks with three spiritual roots, but none with double spiritual roots. But among the 39 monks In fact, five of them are three-yang spirit bodies. In addition, half a month ago, it was reported from the secular Zhang Kingdom royal family that a baby had a vision, the room was full of red light, and the whole body was full of fragrance. It is not possible to detect whether there is a spiritual root." Zhang Tianwu said.

"There are so many people who are pregnant with Sanyang spiritual bodies, so someone has condensed the Qingyang fire." Zhang Shiping thought for a while, and asked again.He is no stranger to this spirit body, because he himself is the Sanyang spirit body.

"There are three people, but Jindan is difficult." Zhang Tianwu said.

"As for the child, pay more attention to it. If there is any spiritual root, take it back to Chongling Mountain." Zhang Shiping then ordered.Most people in the world who are born with visions are extraordinary.It's just that many of these things are man-made and cannot be taken as real. In the final analysis, it still depends on whether one has spiritual roots, which is the key to whether one can embark on the path of cultivation.

Counting it, the state of Zhang has lasted for nearly 200 years, but so far there have only been a few foundation-building monks in this line.

As for the Jindan monks, there are only three in the Zhang family, and one of them is Zheng Hengyun.

Among the Yuanying family, Jindan is so difficult to achieve, let alone other small families or casual cultivators.

Chapter 835

"I'll send someone over when I get back. If the baby is really extraordinary, I'll bring it back to the family as soon as possible. Worldly children are easy to break and hard to grow, and the deep palace is the most gloomy and cold, especially intrigues. I'm afraid that some people will move. I have thoughts." Zhang Tianwu responded.

Zhang Shiping took a sip of tea, put down the teacup and said slowly: "Why, what you said, is there something wrong there? I remember when Zhang Guochu first came to power, he once ordered a sentence of 'government with benevolence' as an admonishment , Could it be that they have all forgotten it?"

"Old Ancestor, this happened nearly 200 years ago." Zhang Tianwu sighed.

In the secular world, it is common to have children at twenty, and these two hundred years are enough for a family to pass on eight or nine generations.However, for a true monarch with a lifespan of two to three thousand years, it is only a slightly longer period of time.

"Then find someone from Zhang Guo's lineage to be in charge. If that lineage is rotten from the root, then replace them all. It's no big deal. You, the Jindan Daoist, are so obtrusive. With the backing of the family, how many powerful families in the world dare to act recklessly, without these constraints, they can't do things well, so what's the use of it. If this kind of thing spreads, it will only make people laugh!" Zhang Shiping's tone was slightly cold.

"Understood." Zhang Tianwu said.

"I'm not going to inquire about how much you have benefited from them, or what the origin is, and these trivial matters should be dealt with as soon as possible." Zhang Shiping said.

"Ancestor, in fact, the current emperor of Zhang Guo is my grandson in terms of seniority." Zhang Tianwu said with some embarrassment.

"Out of the five clothes, he is just a member of the clan, and this person has no spiritual roots, so he should be treated according to the clan's clan rules for secular veins." Zhang Shiping said disapprovingly.

"Yes." Zhang Tianwu replied.

Which family in the world of cultivating immortals has no branch in the secular world, so the family rules of the cultivating family are divided into two types.

For example, the main branch of the Zhang family does not have those strict moral laws for monks. After all, monks are well-regulated people in this southern state, and these things cannot be restrained on their heads.In addition, the Zhang family is the Yuanying family, which is the top level in Nanzhou.

But even so, the Zhang family monks still need to abide by the rules that all monks in the world of cultivating immortals follow, and don't do those things that kill people and steal goods, at least on the surface.

Therefore, the purpose of the family rules established by the Zhang family is to allow those monks with low aptitude and cultivation to keep their own place, and the foundation-building monks who are higher are to encourage them to go up and practice.

As for the three Jindan monks Zheng Hengyun, Zhang Tianwu, and Zhang Bixing, just let them not provoke the Yuanying monk.

As for Nascent Soul cultivators like Zhang Shiping, no rules can be restrained for a long time.

However, Zhenjun has a long lifespan, and he has set a rule for himself, only the word 'cautious and independent'.

Once a high-level monk crosses his bottom line too easily, it will be a disaster for himself or others.

In addition, the second kind of rules specially set up for the secular branch, are either loose or strict, but the most important thing is to let the secular branch supply more of the main branch and ensure that you have spiritual roots There is a steady stream of clansmen.

Maybe these people have already been out of the main vein for five times, and there are countless generations behind.

But these are not big things.

As long as children with spiritual roots in the secular world are taken to practice in the main vein and taught since childhood, they will at least stand on the side of the main vein when they grow up.

"Besides these few things, if there is anything else to say, let's talk about it together." Zhang Shiping said.

"Recently, there have been some changes in the Valley of Resentment in Hengzhou City of Zhang Guo. There is a red light flashing from time to time, and there is a hint of wildness flowing out. The disciples guarding there often hear the roar of beasts like thunder. A few days ago , I went there specifically to check, and found that the situation is indeed the case, there are indeed traces of wild beasts in the valley, it should be fire monsters." Zhang Tianwu said.

"Is there any sign of the ancient magic circle being broken?" Zhang Shiping asked with a smile.

"Not long after I passed by, the ancient array did show signs of being broken at night, but I shot it immediately, and it was temporarily stabilized." Zhang Tianwu showed a look of resentment.

"If there are two more people to go there, divide it into two places, one far and one near, to guard. If there is any vision, come back in time to report. If there is nothing else, then go down." Zhang Shiping stood up and faced the lake with his hands behind his back, and said slowly.

"As ordered."

After finishing speaking, Zhang Tianwu and Zhang Tianming got up and bowed to leave.

……

……

After the two left, Jiang Ru walked up to Zhang Shiping, thought about it, and asked, "Master, what's wrong with Zhang Guo's resentment?"

"The fire veins in the valley here may be connected to the barbarian domain. At the Yutai meeting of Mingxin Peak a few days ago, Luo Shan once said in front of everyone that Misty Valley used the method to overthrow Nanzhou. A fellow Taoist sent a letter to inquire. I am afraid this is the case. After all, Misty Valley has guarded the border of the Barbarian Region for the past 3000 years, and they are the only ones who have the possibility of secretly introducing the barbarian spirit into the earth veins. Hundreds of years ago, Nanzhou More than 200 places had erupted at almost the same time, followed by Qinghe Jifeng and the seniors of other sects secretly investigating for a few years, and the follow-up was nothing, which is very abnormal!" Zhang Shiping said without haste .

"Master said so, then this matter is really tricked by Misty Valley. It's just that it's good for them. Once the barbaric spirit infects the ground veins, the whole Nanzhou's spiritual energy will collapse. They won't be able to live anywhere!" Jiang Si questioned.

"As long as other people have scruples, it will be fine. Thousands of years ago, Misty Valley's strength was superior, and it faintly overwhelmed our four sects. Fortunately, Meng Hai and Yin Yu are approaching their lives, and they will die soon. What's more, the Wrathful Fire Valley is still the place where Misty Valley secretly manages, but it was discovered by the ancestor Qinghe later. It is almost obvious that there is a false spirit derived from the sun's fine fire at the bottom of Misty Valley. The traces of fire obviously want to lure me into action, but in fact they just want to drag Xuanyuanzong into the water. After I come back, I will tell Tianfeng to know about it." Zhang Shiping said here, and chuckled.

Then he leaned on the chair, looked down at the groups of colorful koi in the lake, took out a spirit stone, put it in his hand and gently grasped it, the spirit powder sprinkled down.

The fish are fighting for food.

After a while, he continued: "After Tianfeng learned about this, he said that he wanted to work with me to obtain the spiritual fire, but now it has been so long, and there is no movement. After all, What Misty Valley has arranged for the past 3000 years may have been known to the leaders of the four dynasties long ago, but they just don’t want to reveal it.”

"Then what if Misty Valley really choleras Nanzhou with its ancient aura?" Jiang Si asked.

"Since Tianfeng refuses to say it clearly, then I will pretend that I don't know, and I won't point it out, so as not to embarrass everyone." Zhang Shiping said calmly.

"Master, even if it's just a false spiritual fire derived from a ray of the sun's essence fire, it was a rare thing in ancient times! Wouldn't it be a pity if you missed it?" Bai Qi asked in a buzzing voice.

Hearing this, both Zhang Shiping and Jiang Xi smiled, looking disapproving.

"Yellow-haired monster, what are you laughing at?" Bai Qi said angrily.

"Tell it about it." Zhang Shiping said with a smile.

"Silly cat, all the things related to the true spirit are rare treasures in the world. But treasures are hard to come by. If the spirit fire wants to take shape, according to the records in the ancient books, it will take at least 500 years to conceive. And In the past 7000 years of Xiaohuanjie, the true spirit has only appeared twice, the former was more than 300 years ago, and the latest one was [-] years ago, so there is no rush!" Jiang Si said with a smile.

It wanted to reach out to touch Bai Qi's tiger head, but was thrown away by him.
