Journey To Longevity

Most of the words were asked by Zhang Tongan, and Zhang Shiping was answering. The hill under their feet, which was only a few hundred feet high, was soon under the feet of their father and son.

Most of the mountains by the sea are hills of more than a hundred feet or several hundred feet. The father and son stood on the top of the mountain and looked into the distance.

Under the blue sky, floating clouds are like dreams, and above the blue sea, the huge boats that are hundreds or thousands of feet long seem to be the size of ants.

The two squinted their eyes and looked into the distance. They didn't know how long it had been since they sat together so comfortably. Zhang Tongan's eyes were a little cloudy. He glanced at Zhang Shiping's profile from the corner of his eye. Time seems to go back to decades ago.

After more than half an hour, Zhang Shiping couldn't help but ask his father, what is the family's plan?

After saying this, his gray-haired father looked at Zhang Shiping, first sighed, and then slowly said some words to persuade Zhang Shiping to join Xuanyuanzong.

Zhang Shiping frowned, and wanted to say no, but when he heard his father Zhang Tong'an talk about the Zhang family's situation in the tens of years, seeing the family dying and being alone, he heard his father, Zhang Tong'an, talking about it in a panicked tone. Worried that one day the Zhang family will be ruined in his hands, then he will have no face after his death, and go to see the ancestors of the Zhang family!

These words, Zhang Tongan usually hides in his heart. Since Zhang Huaiyu left, the burden on his shoulders has suddenly become a lot heavier. When he was in Baimang Mountain, he also considered joining Wanjianmen, but the Chen family stood up again. He came out, said something, revealed that Zhang Family used to have a Foundation Establishment cultivator, who was an inner disciple of Zhengyang Sect, and was highly valued by Zhengyang Sect. Anyway, the Chen family said this kind of thing more than once.

There are only nine Jindan cultivators of Wanjianmen, and they all hold great power. Fortunately, these Jindan masters have a lot of mutual understanding about how to deal with those families that have joined the sect but have not joined the sect. Opinions differ greatly. The three Jindan masters who were murderous naturally wanted to kill them all, but the remaining five Jindan monks all felt that since the sect had already occupied Baimang Mountain, they couldn't do it like the previous Ten Thousand Blood Sect. Generally sneaky, sultry and very spicy!

The king regards his ministers like soil mustard, and the ministers regard the emperor like a bandit.

Wan Jianmen wants to pass it on for a long time from now on, he has thunderous methods and a compassionate heart. There are countless families like the Zhang family in the entire Baimang Mountain. If they act too much, their hearts will inevitably be flustered, which is not good for the long-term inheritance of the sect. It is not a little generous to include them in the family and give them to other families who are watching. Take a reassurance.

But after reporting this matter to Zhenjun Yuxing, the meaning passed down by the ancestor of the sect is that it is not difficult to ignore these small families. After more than a hundred years, all the monks related to the six sects will die. Later, mention this matter again! During this period of time, we must first cultivate the mainstay who is truly loyal to the sect. Baimang Mountain is too big, and there are still too few Jindan monks in Wanjianmen.

Therefore, Zhang Tongan returned to the family safe and sound even though the jade lotus root was written in disgrace, but the situation in the family remained unchanged, and seeing the monks on the ninth floor of Qi refining in the family, one by one failed to retreat and break through the foundation building. It's a grimace.

Zhang Shiping listened to his father talking about the events of the coming year one by one, and finally his tone gradually became indifferent and relieved, but the more he listened, the more silent he became, he understood the meaning of his father's words.

Perhaps Zhang Tong'an felt that Zhang Shiping could not be forced too hard, and finally said lightly that Zhang Shiping could make up his own mind. After all, the Zhang family can rely on him, the Jindan cultivator, and he should also stand on the side of a patriarch. , In the position of the ancestor, the survival of the family was considered.

After finishing speaking, Zhang Tongan left Zhang Shiping alone, went down the mountain alone, and went to arrange for the clansmen.

Zhang Shiping sat quietly on the top of the mountain for a long time, and he didn't come down until sunset.

While Zhang Tongan was arranging things, seeing Zhang Shiping descending the mountain, he turned his head and saw Zhang Shiping nodded slowly, he was relieved, and the worry on his brows also dissipated.

...

...

"Master, was my master always like this, like this, like this when he was young?"

In the Emerald Bamboo Valley, a child like porcelain jade imitated Zhang Shiping, usually with a straight face, then frowned, and then said in a calm voice.

The child imitated Zhang Shiping's demeanor, and it really looked like five or six points, which made Zhang Tong'an laugh out loud.

Zhang Shiping heard the two talking in the house, so he frowned, and said in a deep voice: "Xi'er, enough rest, let's start practicing!"

"Master." When the two people outside the house heard Zhang Shiping's voice, Lin Xi'er immediately pursed her lips, shook Zhang Tong'an's arm, and said coquettishly.

"Shi Ping, Xi'er is still young, so there is no need to rush the matter of cultivation!" Zhang Tong'an looked at Lin Xi'er and said as if he regarded her as his granddaughter. A ten-year-old child with a second level of Qi training is already very good in his opinion.

In the past six months, under the arrangement of Zhang Shiping and Zhang Tongan, the development of the Zhang family has gradually embarked on the right track. In Binhai City, there are a few more Zhang family shops bearing the name of Xuanyuanzong, and Zhang Shiping entrusts the shipyard to manufacture several shops. A merchant ship with 8,000 materials was also launched, but the Zhang family had no other foundation-building monks outside of Zhang Tong'an, which made Zhang Shiping quite embarrassed.

He could only think of a compromise, and as the elder of the Xuanyuan Sect's outer sect, he sent a mission to let the two disciples of the sect's mid-stage foundation establishment follow the merchant ship. For these two people alone, 40% of the profit of the cruise will be lost, but this is a normal price, and Zhang Shiping doesn't want to lose face and break the rules just for a little spirit stone.

Although the South China Sea is an inland sea, there are not many sea beasts of the third level and above, but there are quite a few of the second level, and because the weather on the sea is changeable, all kinds of unexpected situations happen quickly, so every time a merchant ship goes to sea, it needs to have a foundation. Even the protection of the golden core monks, at least to activate the hidden magic circle on the ship, if there is no foundation building monks to preside over it, it will be easy to expose flaws, and then attract groups of second-order sea beasts, and the ship will be destroyed. Just kidding.

But the profits are huge, if Zhang Shiping is not the elder of Xuanyuanzong's outer sect, other commercial firms and Jindan family would not be so easy to let the merchant's route come.

In the past, there were several Jiji families united together. Their merchant ships had not gone far when they entered the water. They either encountered sea beasts or hit a hidden reef.

In the house, Zhang Shiping was a little helpless when he heard his father's words. Other people's disciples of Golden Core cultivators, if they are not serious in their cultivation, they will beat or scold them. If it is on his side, it is like raising a princess!

Just when he shook his head helplessly, he stood up and flew out of the circle. Seeing that Daoyou Cui was standing outside the circle with a smile on his face, Zhang Shiping guessed that the other party's affairs seemed to be settled.

Sure enough, as soon as Zhang Shiping walked out of the circle, Cui Xiaotian said loudly to Zhang Shiping: "Fellow Daoist Zhang, I have found the last Golden Core cultivator with Qingyang fire, I am really sorry for making you wait so long. Fellow Daoist, get ready, I will come to Tianfeng Mountain in three days."
