Chronicles of Ascension: The Path to Immortality

"The temple owner has just obtained so much Blackpool Mud. Will the clan elders from Neiji also have a hand in collecting the Blackpool Mud into the clan treasury?"

"That won't work. I'm risking half my life to protect the Blackpool Mud."

"This black swamp mud is the lifeblood of our Temple Street people's survival. We must not let Neiji collect it."

…

At this time, Zhang Yingjie had reached the seventh level of Qi refining and was a late-stage Qi refining monk. His every move showed the demeanor of a genius.

Zhang Yingjie walked up to Henry Zhang, actually cupped his hands and clasped his fists, and said with great respect: "Young Master, the clan leader invites you to come over and discuss important matters."

Everyone did not expect that a proud man from Neiji who was in the late stage of Qi refining would be so respectful to the master of his own temple.

Of course, the members of the zigzag dung-picking team naturally knew about it.

Outside Fairy Cat Valley, the clan leader has promised to restore the status of temple master Qiangzhi.

From now on, Zhangjiaji in Immortal Cat Valley will not be the elder of the nine major clans, but the elder of the ten major clans.

Even though Zhang Yingjie was the proud son of Zhangjiaji, he still had to treat him with courtesy in front of the future elders of the Tenth Clan.

Henry Zhang nodded and said: "I'll go right away, grandpa, and I'll leave the things here to you."

The old grandpa hurriedly clasped his fists and said, "Temple Master, just go ahead with peace of mind."

Henry Zhang and Zhang Yingjie took the flying boat and flew directly over the inner ring city wall and entered the inner ring.

The guards recognized Fei Zhou as the inner genius and clasped their fists.

Arriving in front of a tall building with "Nine Lao Sacred Palace" written on it, Henry Zhang directly entered the highest floor.

"Zhang Xuan, the spiritual farmer of Temple Street, please see the clan leader." Zhang Xuan said politely.

Zhang Yuhuai helped Zhang Xuan up and said: "Please get up quickly."

"I don't know what's the matter with the clan leader asking the juniors to come over?"

"I don't understand something. I heard that you were only at the second level of Qi Refining before April. Why did you reach the early stage of foundation building so quickly?"

"In order to get out of danger and welcome back the ancestor's corpse, the junior used some secret techniques to forcibly improve it, but it can only last for two days." Henry Zhang felt that there was no need to lie on this point. After all, the effect of his spinal fluid initiation, counting the time, It will soon expire.

"I see," Zhang Yuhuai nodded slightly and continued, "I have discussed it with the other eight clan elders. It is a great achievement for you to bring back the ancestor's corpse this time, and we have decided to reward you with 10,000 contribution points."

"Thank you, patriarch."

"In addition, to restore your status as a strong branch, as for returning the spiritual field..." Zhang Yuhuai hesitated.

"What... Patriarch, is there a problem?"

"It's like this. The Zhang family's public land was divided up a hundred years ago."

"Ah, what should I do?"

Henry Zhang planned this and handed over the storage bag and spiritual weapons of his ancestor Zhang Xing in order to win some spiritual land for the neighbors on Temple Street.

And now the clan leader actually told him that all the spiritual fields in the Zhang family's clan treasury had been exhausted. How could he not be anxious?

"However, you don't have to worry," Zhang Yuhuai comforted, "There are two solutions at the moment. Do you want to listen to them?"

"Clan leader, please speak."

"Ancestor Zhang Xing did not like to accumulate wealth during his lifetime, and the spiritual land he accumulated during his lifetime was only 350 acres of first-class, medium-grade spiritual land. This is well-documented. Do you agree?"

"Of course I agree. I believe that the patriarch will never deceive his descendants on this matter."

"There are two compensation plans at the moment. One is to directly compensate you for 350 acres of first-class medium-grade spiritual land."

"Isn't there no Yu Tian left in the family treasury?"

"Not now, but... but if we wait for a while, there will be a large number of spiritual fields in the family library."

"how……"

Before Henry Zhang started to ask, Zhang Yuhuai raised a hand to interrupt him and said: "This matter is extremely confidential. Even the clan elders don't know about it, so you better not ask."

"What about the other plan?"

"There are nine large lakes between the inner ring and the outer ring, and three of them belong to the clan treasury. Another plan is to compensate you at a discounted price for one of the lakes."

Regarding the Nine Great Lakes, Henry Zhang still knew that there were various spiritual fish and shrimps in the lake, and the most important thing was that there were water-attribute spiritual objects and spiritual beads.

There are even many pearl divers in Jiuhufang who make a career out of collecting spiritual pearls.

The output value of a large lake is also relatively high.

At first, Henry Zhang thought that the clan leader wanted to give away the spiritual field promised to him.

Now it seems that the patriarch is indeed sincere.

Of course, the clan elders are rich in wealth. Each clan elder has thousands of acres of spiritual land alone.

The patriarch may not break his promise for his 350 acres of spiritual land.

"What kind of compensation plan do you want?" the patriarch asked again.

Henry Zhang thought that the premise of the clan leader’s first compensation plan was that the clan treasury would acquire a large amount of spiritual fields in the future.

This “future” is highly uncertain.

He said directly: "I choose Spirit Lake."

"Okay, this is the token of Jiuding Lake. From now on, Jiuding Lake will be yours." Zhang Yuhuai took out a golden token.

Henry Zhang took the token and found that the token alone was made from first-grade high-grade spiritual ore, with the word "Jiuding" written on it.

"Thank you, patriarch." Henry Zhang bowed respectfully.

Zhang Yuhuai chuckled, threw a clan elder token over and said: "From now on, you will be the tenth clan elder in Zhangjiaji. We all must work together to run the Fairy Cat Valley well."

Zhang Yuhuai took the token and said happily: "I will definitely live up to the patriarch's teachings."

"In addition, you just mentioned that you used a secret method to forcibly improve your cultivation to the foundation-building level. Although I don't know your secret method, I know that the secret method of forcibly improving cultivation will generally have a considerable backlash effect. There is a pair of exquisite beads in our clan library. You can exchange them from it. Maybe they will be useful to you."

"Thank you, clan leader!"

Zhang Xuan left the Nine Elders Palace and went straight to the clan library.

The clan leader was right. There must be many sequelae of using spinal fluid to infuse the top, but it is not recorded in the classics.

His fake foundation-building cultivation will only dissipate in three hours.

Before dispersing, he must make some preparations.

"I don't know if the exquisite beads mentioned by the clan leader are useful."

Zhang Xuan came to the clan library.

The clan library is dozens of feet high and divided into 10 floors.

When Zhang Xuan entered, the guard stopped him and said, "Please show your identity card."

Zhang Xuan directly handed him the clan elder token.

"Clan elder?" The guard was shocked.

Even if he had not seen the nine clan elders of the Zhang family, he had seen their portraits. How could this person exist?

Moreover, this person looks less than 20 years old, how could he be the elder of Zhangjiaji?

"Why? Do you think the token is fake?" Zhang Xuan asked calmly.

The guard panicked and said, "That's not the case. It's just that the elder has a prominent status and needs to be received by the owner of the library in person."

The guard was not stupid. He knew that no one in Zhangjiaji would dare to pretend to be an elder.

As for why the person in front of him had the elder token, the strangeness was not something that a low-level guard like him could know.

Reporting this matter to the owner of the library who was in charge of the clan library was what he should do.

After a while, an old man with a goatee came out of the clan library and said with a smile, "Zhang Yingda, the owner of the library, see the ten elders."

At this time, the guard was shocked: "When did Zhangjiaji have another ten elders? Fortunately, I didn't neglect it just now."

"The clan leader said that there is a pair of exquisite beads in our clan library, and I want to exchange them." Zhang Xuan said straight to the point.

"Okay, please follow me, ten elders."

Zhang Yingda took Zhang Xuan to the top floor of the clan library.

Zhang Xuan looked at the spiritual materials on the shelf, all of which were first-grade top-grade, and some were even second-grade.

What surprised Zhang Xuan the most was that there were four pieces of patterned animal bones here.

"These four pieces are all bones of wild beast bloodline." Zhang Xuan was overjoyed.
