Immortal Path Evergreen
Chapter 610: Revisiting the old place
After completing the transaction, Wuyun Zhenren took out a token that was neither gold nor wood, handed it to Zhang Zhixuan and said, "This Danyang Token was originally a Taoist friend's thing. It has been stored in the Danyang Tower in Yuzhang City for many years. Now that the two sides have reconciled, this token should be returned to its original owner."
Zhang Zhixuan knew that if he took the Danyang Token, he would definitely be monitored by the Danyang Sect cultivators. They were all Jindan-stage cultivators, and the Danyang Sect would definitely not trust them to hang around in Song. He was very open-minded about this and happily took the Danyang Token.
This token, after more than a hundred years of twists and turns, fell into Zhang Zhixuan's hands again.
After bidding farewell to Wuyun Zhenren, Zhang Zhixuan and Qingchan went around the six major markets in Song. Although Song had Yuanying-stage cultivators, there were very few Jindan-stage spiritual objects sold in the markets.
There were only three fifth-level spiritual objects in the six major markets combined.
One fifth-level magic weapon and two fifth-level spiritual talismans.
Zhang Zhixuan and his companions had no shortage of magical instruments, and Qingchan could draw high-level spiritual talismans by himself. They searched all over Song State, but did not encounter any spiritual objects that they were interested in.
When they reached the stage of Jindan, they only had a few options such as Qi State and Da Zhou to find opportunities outside. Jindan-stage cultivators in Song State also often had to travel.
The two returned to Yu State disappointedly, first went to Qingyang Mountain to hand over the spiritual objects they exchanged to the sect treasury, and then refined a furnace of Qingyu Dan and gave it to Liang Yuxian.
The last time she broke through the realm, Liang Yuxian had already exhausted her family's wealth. This time, it was her disciple Zhang Yunlan who helped her exchange the Qingyu Fruit.
After finishing these chores, the two notified the Jin Patriarch, then left Qingyang Mountain and flew to Lingjing Mountain.
The two had just passed over the sky of Xihefang when Zhang Zhixuan suddenly felt something and held Qingchan's hand and said, "Let's go down and take a look. We haven't set foot in Xihefang for at least 150 years. When my cultivation was low, I first witnessed the cruelty of the world of immortal cultivation in Xihefang.
Do you still remember Uncle Jiu who came to Lingjing Mountain when you were a child? He disappeared outside Xihefang that year. My fifth brother Zhang Zhicheng died in my arms, and my second brother Zhang Zhiwen died before me. Until now, I still remember the details of that battle clearly."
"I was still young, only eight or nine years old, and I had only a little impression of Uncle Jiu. I don't remember what he looked like. But I remember the scar on your chest very clearly. Because of this scar, I cried for a long time." Qingchan touched a scar on Zhang Zhixuan's chest and said with some emotion.
The two of them fell from the escape light, used the breath-covering technique to hide their cultivation, and quietly entered Xihefang.
After the Hu family withdrew from Taicheng County, the Zhang family took back the original four shops. After Zhang Zhixuan and his two friends opened up the Purple Mansion, the Wu family returned eight shops to the Zhang family.
Of the 48 shops in Xihefang, the Wu family controlled 24 and the Zhang family controlled 16. The two families monopolized the bulk of the profits, and the Liu family and the Su family only retained a shipping channel.
Of the five major families in Taicheng County at that time, only the Zhang, Wu, and Liu families remained two hundred years later.
Today, the Liu family is also somewhat powerless. There are only two foundation-building cultivators in the Taicheng County family. On the contrary, within the sect, the Liu family has five foundation-building cultivators. It seems that the focus has shifted to the sect.
Some time ago, the Qingxuan Sect redivided the counties and prefectures. The Zhang and Wu families in Taicheng County were separated. The Wu family inherited the title of Taicheng County Governor, and the Zhang family’s territory was divided out, and the Lushan County Governor was inherited.
The Taibai Mountain Liu family and the Jiufeng Mountain Su family were assigned to Taicheng County, and the Liucheng Hou family was assigned to Lushan County.
The Su family and the Hou family are both outsiders in Taicheng County.
The Su family was founded by Su Heng, who trained two foundation-building cultivators, who occupied two third-level spiritual veins respectively and established the Su family as the main household.
The Hou family was born in the family of the State of Yu. Because of the invasion of monsters, they lost their family territory and migrated to the territory of the State of Yu. They made contributions in the war against the Hongshan Sect and were granted the third-level spiritual vein by the sect. From then on, they settled in Liucheng.
The original Ma family and the Zhu family had lost their foundation-building pillars and were reduced to small families in the Qi training period.
Most of the ordinary clansmen in the family migrated to Lushan County and Taicheng County, and merged into large families such as the Zhang family and the Wu family.
The cultivators with good spiritual roots migrated to the foot of Qingyang Mountain and became low-level cultivators of the Qingxuan Sect.
If such a failed family wants to turn over, I am afraid it will take a long time, at least three generations.
Xihefang is closer to the Yanlai Peak of the Wu family, and it has also been assigned to Taicheng County.
Zhang Sijin has already negotiated with Wu Rongyuan that they will not establish a new market in Lushan County, and the two families will continue to work together to run Xihefang.
Although the Zhang family has had some ups and downs in the past few hundred years, the cooperation with the Wu family is still good.
The several heads of the Wu family, from Wu Xiangzhen, Wu Xiangwen, Wu Xianghuai, and Wu Rongyuan, have different personalities, but they are all very shrewd and clear-headed.
Wu Xiangheng, who was so arrogant at Zhang Zhixuan's foundation-building banquet, also passed away seven or eight years ago. He never managed to master the power of the head of the family and served as a thug for the Wu family all his life.
As their cultivation gradually improved, Zhang Zhixuan and his partner rarely came into contact with low-level cultivators in the family, and they were not even familiar with some younger generations who had just built their foundation.
They couldn't even call out the names of the Zhang family cultivators in Xihefang.
The plaque of Baicaoxuan has not been changed, but the goods inside have increased by about seven or eight times.
Not only are there Jinyadan and Youhuandan, the main spiritual pills of the Zhang family, but Zhang Zhixuan even saw two bottles of third-level spiritual pills for sale.
The Zhang family now has two third-level alchemists, a third-level weapon refiner, and even a third-level formation master.
Even if the three Jindan ancestors do not intervene, as long as the overall environment of Qingxuan Sect is stable, the family can continue to develop.
The foundation of the Zhang family has far surpassed that of the Liu family. The family's annual income has reached 16,000 spirit stones. Without Zhang Zhixuan and the other three big households who receive annual salaries, although the family has lost the income from Black Mountain, the annual surplus of the family is about 4,000 spirit stones.
In two and a half years, 10,000 spirit stones can be collected to exchange for a foundation-building pill. Even if the supply of foundation-building pills is far from enough, the family can cultivate some foundation-building cultivators and occupy the spiritual veins controlled by the family.
The two walked to the Xianke Building, which is the first inn in Xihefang. The interior layout and decoration were planned by Zhang Zhixuan himself. Unfortunately, after nearly 200 years, the wall paintings have turned yellow, which makes Zhang Zhixuan feel that things have changed.
Just a quick look, the two found that the cultivators of the Zhang and Wu families were a little arrogant, especially to the unknown casual cultivators, they were full of superiority.
Even Zhang Zhixuan and Qingchan were a little angry at these younger generations. If he didn't want to ruin the atmosphere, Zhang Zhixuan was ready to give them a hard time.
Even if they were not punished this time, Zhang Zhixuan was ready to go back and tell Sijin to punish them, because they had offended the petty-minded Zhang Laozu.
After a round in Xihefang, Zhang Zhixuan could no longer find the feeling of the past. Most of the old friends he met in Xihefang had turned into bones.
"Revisiting the old place always makes me feel emotional, Qingchan, do you think I am old?"
Coming out of Xihefang, Zhang Zhixuan looked at the gradually darkening sky and suddenly spoke.
"You are just fighting against loneliness. As the cultivation level increases and the magic power becomes stronger, our biggest enemies are time and loneliness. This emotion will always be with us in the future, and as time goes by, we will get used to loneliness."
