Immortal Path Evergreen

In the past five years, Zhang Sidao's weapon refining skills have been upgraded to the third-level lower grade, and Qingchan also broke through the sixth level of foundation building four years ago. I am afraid that in one or two years, he will catch up with Zhang Zhixuan.

Last year, relying on the abundant spiritual energy of Chaoyin Mountain, the clan leader's cultivation level has made another step forward, breaking through to the eighth level of foundation building like Hanyan.

However, the clan leader is more than three sixty years old, and he was injured in his early years. His life span is less than forty years, and it is impossible to open up the purple mansion.

In the past five years, four cultivators of the Zhang family have broken through to the ninth level of Qi training, and the number of family elders has exceeded thirteen.

Unfortunately, Zhang Siyang and Zhang Zhixing still did not have the courage to take the risk to break through. The good deeds they had were not enough to exchange for foundation building pills. They wasted their sixties and missed the opportunity to build a foundation.

Among these four newly broken through ninth-level Qi training cultivators, except for one Zhi generation cultivator, the rest were Si generation. At the age of seventy, the Si generation monks have grown up, while the Meng generation monks have gradually died.

Among the Meng generation monks, the eleventh uncle had passed away two years ago and died peacefully at home. Of the six elders in the family when Zhang Zhixuan first started practicing Taoism, only the nineteenth uncle is left.

Below the eleventh uncle, there are only five or six Meng generation monks in the family. The youngest of their generation is Han Yan, who is now seventy-seven years old. The remaining brothers and sisters have either passed away or died in cruel battles.

Thirteenth uncle Zhang Menghan has been bedridden for a long time, and it is estimated that he has reached the end of his life. He is almost 116 years old, and is very close to the life limit of a Qi-refining monk.

Sixteenth uncle Zhang Menggong also retired from the post of Lushan County Magistrate and went to Tiantai Peak to spend his old age. The grandson of the ninth uncle, Zhang Siheng, took over his position and served as the Lushan County Magistrate.

This child has very poor spiritual roots. He is now over fifty years old and his cultivation is only at the second level of Qi Refining. Even if Zhang Zhixuan wanted to take care of him, he could not do anything. Fortunately, he is very happy in Lushan County. As long as the Zhang family does not fall, he can enjoy a lifetime of wealth and glory and live a majestic life among mortals.

Five years ago, the Zhang family anticipated that the war would break out, so they began to hoard resources and prepare for the war.

Zhang Zhixuan guessed correctly. Only five years later, when Zhang Sidao finished revising the classics and was ready to return to the sect, the war finally broke out.

Qingxuan Sect issued an unprecedented call for conscription. Almost all the foundation-building cultivators in the entire Zhang family were included in the call for conscription. Even Qingchan, who rarely appeared, and the old and frail clan leader were required to participate in this action.

The scale of this mobilization almost exceeded the monster rebellion every hundred years. The entire Zhang family must draw ninety Qi Refining cultivators to participate in the war.

Zhang Zhixuan has been practicing Taoism for more than 50 years. His family has developed smoothly over the past 50 years, and the population has almost doubled. Now there are 163 registered cultivators in the family tree, and the remaining 32 guests from other families.

Zhang Zhixuan will not be polite when the war breaks out. As long as these guests do not have any special skills, they will all be included in the conscription list. In addition, Zhang Zhixuan also recruited about 30 people from vassal families such as the Zhou family.

Soon Zhang Zhixuan led 90 cultivators to gather at Yanlai Peak, took a large magic flying boat to cross the Duanyun Mountains, and then obeyed the order at the foot of Yuntai Mountain.

Because the Qingxuan Sect's flying boat is not large and can't accommodate too many people, Patriarch Jin specially borrowed his large flying boat from Liang Taixu, and even bought 20 large whale pack beasts from the Song State to transport supplies.

Even Zhang Zhixuan's flying magic weapon had to be contributed and handed over to the Qingxuan Sect cultivators to transport manpower. The family's horse team will also be under the command of Qingxuan Sect to transport supplies to the front line in Taicheng County.

After five years of preparation, Qingxuan Sect has stockpiled a large amount of spiritual rice in Chaoyin Mountain. The Purple Mansion monks even took action and spent five years to open three tunnels in the Duanyun Mountains to cross the three most dangerous peaks.

Zhang Zhixuan led his men to Yanlai Peak and found that the Wu and Liu families had already arrived. When Zhang Zhixuan led his men to come, they rode the whale-carrying beast to Chaoyin Mountain to gather together.

The whale-carrying beast has a gentle personality, a body length of ten feet, a width of about three feet, a height of one foot and eight feet, and a streamlined body. There is also a pair of huge wings on the ribs, which are more than thirty or forty feet when fully stretched out.

Although this large monster is only the third level, it is the most important domesticated monster for humans. The whale-carrying beast is extremely powerful, has sufficient endurance and is good at flying. The monks' baggage transportation almost entirely depends on them.

The price of a whale-carrying beast is very expensive, almost more than the price of a foundation-building pill, and these whale-carrying beasts have been castrated and cannot reproduce.

Qingxuan Sect mines spirit stone mines in Chaoyin Mountain, which can increase the income of 20,000 spirit stones every year. Now the spirit stone mine has been mined for 20 years, and the accumulated income is very considerable. It is precisely because of the huge increase in income that they have the spare capacity to buy whale-carrying beasts and prepare for the war with Hongshan Sect.

Under the whale-carrying beast, there is a huge pod with a large space that can accommodate 30 people at a time.

When Zhang Zhixuan and his team arrived, the Qingxuan Sect monks counted the number of people and immediately boarded the whale-carrying beasts and assembled towards Chaoyin Mountain.

The flying speed of the whale-carrying beast is not fast, far less than that of the foundation-building monks flying with swords, but it is still much faster than the speed of the Qi training monks. In just seven or eight days, everyone arrived at the foot of Chaoyin Mountain.

The spirit stone mine in Chaoyin Mountain has been mined for 20 years, and the mortals on the mountain have multiplied and formed four towns.

Over the past twenty years, the 60,000 mortals on the mountain have grown to more than 80,000 people.

In order to facilitate the cultivation of these new children, Qingxuan Sect established a spiritual testing platform in Chaoyin Mountain, and some children born in Chaoyin Mountain have been detected to have spiritual roots.

In the past twenty years, three children of the Zhang family alone were born in Chaoyin Mountain. After the spiritual roots were detected, they returned to Lingjing Mountain to practice.

Since the patriarch took office in Chaoyin Mountain, the two have rarely met, and usually can only rely on letters to communicate.

After the two met, they talked all night, and they waited for a few days. When Qingchan settled the family affairs, they also came to Chaoyin Mountain to join everyone.

This time, the Qingxuan Sect almost came out in full force to attack Hongshan Sect, and even Hanyan, the seed of opening up the purple mansion, had to go out. The number of foundation-building cultivators gathered in Chaoyin Mountain soon exceeded one hundred.

Hanyan had completed the task of guarding the spiritual field two years ago and regained his freedom. This time he followed everyone to Chaoyin Mountain. Of the five Foundation Establishment cultivators of the Zhang family, except Zhang Sidao who stayed in the sect, the remaining four would participate in this war.
