Journey To Longevity

Although Tianfeng said that it was within the acceptable range, his complexion was not good.

"It seems that these years, the situation is not optimistic. It seems that most of the hidden children planted in the three realms have been cleared out." Zhang Shiping sighed.

"Don't worry, it's not that far yet. Besides, it's just a matter of dispatching when there are no more people. It's just a pity that the three Golden Core cultivators who were placed at the Red Moon Tower and the White Horse Temple were picked out by them. Now there is no more news to send back." Tianfeng said.

Zhang Shiping nodded slightly, and then with a movement of divine sense, a jade box three or four feet long and one foot wide appeared in his hand.

Then he asked, "I wonder if Qiu Cong is free now?"

This jade is extremely transparent, without opening it, one can see a purple rhizome inside, with five branches, the leaves are needle-shaped, and there is a faint golden elixir on the edge. This is one of the eleven precious medicines he obtained.

The growth environment of this kind of spiritual grass is extremely harsh, and it can only grow in the volcano in the deep sea. One branch is branched every thousand years, and the spiritual leaves are dyed with gold for five thousand years. It is a rare fire attribute medicine in the world.

Of course, Zhang Shiping did not return the seven plants of precious medicine that he borrowed from Jiang Si, otherwise he would still owe one plant.

"Zihua Yandan?" Tianfeng asked.

"That's right. I have two Zihua grass in my hand now. If Qiu Cong is free, I will ask him to open a furnace to make alchemy this time. Hengyun is a monk of Yanlinggen. When he was young, his dantian was severely injured. What I was looking for at that time Although the panacea healed his injuries barely, it took too long after all. He barely established the foundation when he was sixty years old, and now he has formed the alchemy for hundreds of years, and barely advanced to the middle stage. At this time If you don't help him, I'm afraid it will be difficult even in the later stages of this life." Zhang Shiping said with a sigh.

Now Zheng Hengyun is more than five hundred years old, and he has only been promoted to the middle stage of Golden Core 30 years ago after hundreds of years of hard work. , the speed of practice is considered slow.

"Is it worth it? Such precious medicine is extremely rare." Tianfeng frowned slightly.

"How can everything in the world be judged by its value or not? Don't you think that we have become a little too rational after practicing? He was brought out of the mountain by me, and now he is determined to practice, which is rare. This kind of At critical times, if I don't help him, then he really has no hope in this life." Zhang Shiping said calmly.

Tianfeng's words were not unreasonable. Even if Zheng Hengyun had the help of Zihua Dan refined from five thousand years of precious medicine, if he wanted to practice to the later stage of Jin Dan, it would take him at least a hundred years, and he would be seven hundred years old by then.

After reaching this age, even Jindan monks will inevitably start to decline, and their potential will be greatly reduced.

Even if Zheng Hengyun was able to advance his mana one step further in the last hundred years and reach the perfection of the golden core, this is already his limit.

At that time, when the time comes to cross the catastrophe of baby thunder with an old body, the unforeseen dangers will be even greater, and the chance of success may not be even ten percent.

"Since he caught your eye, then I won't say much. However, Qiu just opened the furnace to refine the Qianzhi Lingdan a few days ago, so I'm afraid it won't be so fast. Let's go to the Valley of Resentment and Fire, and wait It should be about the same when you come back." Tianfeng said.

As an outsider, he couldn't say anything.

"Then let's go there earlier, but at this time, the false spiritual fire should not be fully formed. This is just a sign before the birth of the heaven and earth spirits. Wait a moment, I will call that guy Jiang Bi back."

As soon as Zhang Shiping finished speaking, he immediately communicated with the blood contract.

However, it was discovered that this guy had already run more than a hundred miles away, and was escaping into the Yantan of Qinghuogu to steal the Poguang wine.

While it turned back, Zhang Shiping apologized, leaving Tianfeng sitting alone in the living room. He returned to the quiet room, stretched out his hand to wipe the jade belt around his waist, and took out eleven pills containing precious medicines. The jade box was placed properly, and a restriction was set before leaving the quiet room.

These precious medicines are too powerful, and they have to be refined to become pills before they can be taken. If you swallow it forcefully, it will cause a lot of burden to yourself, and 70% to 80% of its medicinal properties will be wasted.

Therefore, they are useless when monks fight.

Zhang Shiping is going to go out now, so naturally he won't take all these temporarily unused treasures with him. If there is a chance, then wouldn't it be in vain to benefit the opponent, it is better to stay in your own palace.

Even if something happened to him one day, a small part of these precious medicines would fall into the hands of the few Jindan juniors in the family.

The distance of more than a hundred miles did not take too long for the Nascent Soul cultivator.

Zhang Shiping had just put it away, and when he walked back to the hall, Jiang Ru came back. It's just that it is holding a jar of steaming Poguang wine in its hand, and the word 'Zhang' is engraved on the jar.

Jiang Ru raised his head and drank it all in one gulp, then put the wine jar into the jade belt that Zhang Shiping gave just now, destroying the evidence.

"Three hundred years?" Tianfeng sniffed the scent of wine in the air.

"Three hundred and seventy-eight years, I brewed a batch when I was still in Qinghuogu, a total of 300 altars. Didn't you take all of them?" Zhang Shiping couldn't help narrowing his eyes when he said this.

"No way, I didn't get much this time, only five altars." Jiang Si hurriedly explained.

It's just that Tianfeng at the side transmitted the sound transmission: "Give me two altars evenly."

Jiang Ru nodded gently, and a tacit understanding was reached in an instant.

"Well, this time?" Zhang Shiping caught the point instantly and snorted softly.

"Let's go." Tianfeng interrupted.

When Zhang Shiping heard this, he had no choice but to let Jiang Si go for the time being, and then the two of them, one demon, were surrounded by spiritual light, turning into three startled rainbows, soaring into the sky, and disappearing among the clouds.

...

...

About an hour, over Zhang Guoheng Prefecture, which is more than 4,000 miles away from Yuanxiao City, three rays of light flashed across the clouds.

Zhang Shiping, Tianfeng, and Jiang Rufei came to the top of the Valley of Resentment and Fire, and looked down.

"In a few years, I'm afraid the Hengzhou county will start to be evacuated." Zhang Shiping said.

Today's Resentful Flame Valley has long been turned into a wasteland. They swept across the sky with their spiritual consciousness tens of miles away, and they could feel a surge of pure fire spiritual power like a volcano.

The magic circle that sealed the ancient atmosphere has begun to run out.

With the Resentment Fire Valley as the center, the mountains and forests in a radius of more than ten miles have all withered. Under the scorching high temperature, the water vapor in the air appears a little distorted, reflecting the sunlight, creating a mirage-like illusion.

They descended slowly and came to Zheng Hengyun, Zhang Tianwu and the three Zhang Family Zhuji who were guarding here.

"Greetings to the ancestors, Tianfeng Zhenjun and Jiang Zhenjun." The five monks of the Zhang family immediately bowed and saluted.

"Heng Yun, Tian Wu, have there been any changes in the past three days? Is the sound of the toad still ringing?" Zhang Shiping asked.

"There was once in the past two days. Last night, the flames flickered for a while, and then they quieted down again." Zheng Hengyun said truthfully.

Zhang Shiping nodded after hearing this, then turned to look at Tianfeng, and asked, "What do you think, can we go in and find out?"

But Tianfeng shook his head and said:

"According to you, if there is really a man toad entrenched, it must at least have the cultivation base of the middle stage of the Nascent Soul. Don't disturb it for the time being. Heng Yun, Tian Wu, you two go to Du Yu and Qiu Cong, let them remember Bring the formation materials for the Nine Nether Xuanshui Great Formation. And the three of you, first evacuate the nearby Hengzhou County City and the more than one million mortals in the vicinity, at least a hundred miles away. This matter must be done within a year Properly."

"Observe the order." Seeing Zhang Shiping nodded lightly, the five members of the Zhang family answered in unison.

Then Zhang Shiping added something, and said in a calm tone:

"Go ahead and talk to Zhang Guo's generation of emperors, and ask him to fully cooperate. If he can't do it well, then someone else will do it. Also, if in the process of relocating mortals, those traders will profit from it and deliberately raise the price. Food prices and other livelihood items, you can do things cheaply, and if necessary, you can even wipe out the nine clans, and even the cultivation families behind them, so as to make an example. And if it is a secular branch of our Zhang family, then remove this branch, You guys have to explain it well, when the time comes, there will be someone from the Zongmen to supervise. In addition, if there is not enough livelihood supplies such as food, clothing, and medicinal materials, you can go back to Yuanxiao City to purchase them together. When these mortals are settled, they will Your livelihood, you also arrange it together, divide the land, don't let the whole country of Zhang Guo be turbulent because of this."

Upon hearing this, the three Foundation Establishment cultivators couldn't help feeling a little cold behind their backs, and responded quickly, and their shoulders sank a little.

This matter is related to the relocation of more than a million mortals. If officials and aristocratic families in the secular world are allowed to do it, they may do something outrageous. After all, it's about profit. Just one bite will make their mouths full of oil. It's impossible for them not to be moved. As for the life and death of those common people, what has it to do with them?

For those spiritual planters, it may take a lot of effort to cultivate all kinds of elixir, but it is extremely simple to grow secular grains.

As long as they are willing to part with spirit stones and ensure that the land can keep up with consumption, these spirit planters can even grow five seasons of rice and wheat a year.

However, no monk would waste it like this. After all, one low-grade spirit stone in the world is worth more than a hundred taels of gold. Even if one mu of land can grow hundreds of seasons a year, how can the food it gets be worth so much? ?

However, Yuanxiao City is originally a place where spiritual veins gather, and the weakest spiritual energy in the city is comparable to a first-order spiritual land.

In addition to this, the land with a radius of two to three hundred miles outside the city, even if it is not a spiritual land, is also the best land.

This Yuanxiao City is more than a thousand miles long, and the land is one to two million hectares, and the food produced is enough to feed nearly two billion mortals.

In addition, in these places, there are almost no natural disasters, and the annual grain production will not fluctuate, so it can be regarded as one of the three major grain-producing areas in Nanzhou.

Therefore, Zhang Shiping, the ancestor of Yuanying, wanted to obtain enough food to live more than a million people, so it was a breeze. This is just a question of whether he wants or doesn't want to, and it can be resolved with one sentence in the final analysis.

After all, the influence of these Nascent Soul monks is not only in the struggle in the world of cultivating immortals, but their influence on the world is even greater. In a word, the death of millions of mortals is nothing more than a common occurrence. It's just that these more than a hundred true monarchs are more restrained in themselves, and will not influence the world too much.

As for the other two places, they are near Misty City and Mingyue City.

In addition, there are many large and small production areas near many spiritual veins in Nanzhou, which vary.

However, these places are all under the control of various clans and families, and they will control the secular population based on this to ensure a certain number.

Neither let the population skyrocket, nor make it plummet.

"Shiheng, you have a kind heart." Tianfeng couldn't help laughing after hearing this.

"It's fine for practitioners to fight each other to the death. No matter what the outcome is, everything is their own fate. As for the secular aspects, let's not interfere too much." Zhang Shiping replied.

"You can decide on such trivial matters." Tianfeng said.

He looked at this valley of resentful fire, with some worry in his eyes, and then said: "When the false spiritual fire is really born, I am afraid that the vision here will not be able to cover up. At that time, there will be a burst of ancient aura. I'm afraid this place will turn into a Jedi."

"Let's make preparations in advance, we need a first mover." Zhang Shiping replied.

But now, Tianfeng couldn't help but suddenly realized, he smiled wryly: "This old fox Luo Shan is really powerful, he may have noticed that when the false spiritual fire was bred here, it had already started It's laid out, what a conspiracy."

"It's just that we still don't know whether they attracted the fire of the false spirit, or it was just a coincidence." Zhang Shiping also had a serious expression on his face.

"With their methods, they can't interfere with the breath of the true spirit, unless it is to wake up the sleeping spirit treasure gods in the sect, but they should not be able to do this." Tianfeng shook his head and said.

As one of the leaders of the Xuanyuan Sect, he knows more about the background of the Five Sects than Zhang Shiping. Unless the sect is at the point of life and death, its foundation will not be easily used.

While they were talking, suddenly in the valley, a red shadow flashed across, which immediately aroused Zhang Shiping's Mangu Town Sealing Formation set up more than 200 years ago.

Inside the light red curtain of spiritual light, mist was scurrying around.

There is also the sound of toads roaring like thunder.

"Let's strengthen the formation here first, so as not to leak the Mangu aura and let this Mantoad rush to the outside world."

As soon as Zhang Shiping finished speaking, he waved his big sleeve, and nearly a hundred array flags flew out in a line, like scattered stars, sinking into the surrounding mountains, rivers, earth and rocks outside the valley.

Following that, one after another red aura suddenly rose into the sky, covering the Valley of Resentment and Fire.

Of course, this is just for emergency.

"It's really strange! According to common sense, there should be about a hundred years before the false spirit fire is fully formed. This barbarian toad shouldn't be so violent." Tianfeng said in a deep voice.

Having said that, the two looked at each other and said almost simultaneously: "Luo Shan."

"It seems that Luo Shan and the others are playing tricks in the dark." Zhang Shiping's spiritual sense swept all directions, paying attention to the wind and grass nearby.

Although the five sects have the check and balance of the dark covenant, it is possible that Luo Shan will use other means to deal with the two of them.

After a while, the two withdrew their consciousness, concentrated in Xu Fangyuan's body, and shook their heads at each other.

In their spiritual investigation, there were no other monks around here.

"Be careful." Tianfeng said.

Zhang Shiping nodded, and he waved his hand to sacrifice a ball of golden light, which turned into small mirrors with flowing brilliance.

I saw the golden light mirror flickering for a while, then hid in the surroundings and disappeared.
