Chapter 125 Zhang Wei: I Am Your Great-Great-Grandfather!
Zhang Wei smiled and said: "Refining the Flame Pill is really easy to use."
The so-called Flame Refining Pill was a kind of elixir specially refined for him by Chi Lian.
This elixir is different from other fire-attribute elixirs in that it cannot directly provide the power of the fire spirit to increase immortality cultivators who practice fire magic.
Its only function is to refine the purity and condensation speed of the original fire. It is helpful for fire magic cultivators to condense their own strange fire. It is also suitable for Zhang Wei to temper and condense his own Shaoyang Fire.
With the help of the Flame Refining Pill, Zhang Wei's Shaoyang Fire Condensation Efficiency was at least doubled, allowing him to enter the realm of Xiaocheng in just ten years.
Otherwise, Zhang Wei would have to spend at least twenty years of hard work before he could master Shaoyang Kung Fu.
But even with the help of the Flame Refining Pill, according to Zhang Wei's estimation, it would take hundreds of years of hard work for him to reach the level of Dacheng.
But this cannot be rushed.
After getting up, Zhang Wei felt a little awkward, so he stretched out his hand to adjust his trajectory, and then he felt more comfortable.
Alas, the side effects of Shaoyang Kung are too great.
Pushing open the door of the quiet room, Zhang Wei's sharp eyes saw a figure wrapped in flames disappear, and then Chi Lian walked out of his room.
He glanced at Zhang Wei, nodded with satisfaction, and then congratulated: "Congratulations, Mr. Zhang, for making a further step in Shaoyang Kung Fu."
"No, this is all thanks to your efforts in refining the Yan Dan." Zhang Wei said modestly, and then he felt that there was something different about Chi Lian in front of him.
It seems that the breath is stronger than before the retreat.
"Hiss...you have another breakthrough?"
Zhang Wei took a breath of cold air.
In the past ten years, Zhang Wei's cultivation level has not improved due to practicing Shaoyang Pure Body Kung Fu, but Chi Lian and Qu Yao are still moving forward.
Fortunately for Qu Yao, the cultivation in Zifu realm was originally based on Jiazi. Now she can only say that she has just taken off the hat of entering Zifu for the first time.
But Chi Lian is different.
Relying on the third-level strange fire red gold gilded flame, she successfully promoted the fire ghost Akao to a level comparable to the Zifu realm, which helped her save a lot of time in refining elixirs and save more time for cultivation.
With a sufficient supply of elixirs, Chi Lian can be said to be using third-level elixirs for daily practice. His cultivation progress is much faster than that of Zhang Wei at the beginning, and he can gain knowledge in less than a year.
Now... Chi Lian seems to have opened fifty-three orifices, right?
There are still nineteen orifices left to break through to the late stage of foundation building!
Zhang Wei couldn't help but remind him: "Chi Lian, you have to pay attention. Don't be like me, who improves too quickly and ends up with empty spiritual power."
Chi Lian rolled his eyes and said, "I'm not Mr. Zhang!"
Then the conversation changed and he said: "Speaking of which, Mr. Zhang, what are you going to do next? Are you going to continue to practice Shaoyang Pure Body Kung Fu to refine your spiritual power, or are you going to improve your cultivation?"
Zhang Wei asked: "Can I continue to practice like this?"
Chi Lian said calmly: "Of course."
"The Shaoyang pure physical skills at Xiaocheng level have already made your spiritual power as strong as a gang. Your foundation has surpassed those of the geniuses of the five major sects. It is no longer considered a vain spiritual power. There is no problem in continuing to practice."
"However, I suggest that you should practice Shaoyang Kung Fu and Tian Lei Jue at the same time in the future, so as not to suffer from the problem of empty spiritual power again."
"That's it..."
Hearing what Chi Lian said, Zhang Wei thought for a while and said, "Let's wait until I come back to discuss this matter."
Chi Lian asked: "Master Zhang, are you going out?"
Zhang Wei nodded and said, "Well, I want to go back to attend my brother's 100th birthday!"
Zhang Weike still remembers the agreement he made with his brother.
Now that he has been away from home for more than forty years, and Zhang Xiong's 100th birthday is coming soon, he has to go home for a visit.
Zhang Wei invited: "Chi Lian, do you want to go?"
Zhang Wei thought about introducing Chi Lian to his family and other friends, but Chi Lian was silent for a while and then shook his head.
Rejected: "No, I still prefer to stay at home and meditate."
Zhang Wei was a little disappointed when he heard this, but he did not continue to persuade.
After more than ten years of getting along day and night, Zhang Wei has almost figured out Chi Lian's temperament. Sometimes she decides to do things that others cannot dissuade.
Zhang Wei sighed: "Oh...it's a pity that Kunyao has something to do and has to go back to Yulong Mountain temporarily. Otherwise, I could just take her home. In that case, I would have some companionship when I go home."
Chi Lian snorted coldly and said mockingly: "Hey, Mr. Zhang, are you a child? Do you need someone to accompany you in everything you do?"
Zhang Wei was already used to Chi Lian's venomous tongue, so he smiled nonchalantly and said, "After all, I have been with you for so long, and I feel unaccustomed to being away from one of you."
Chi Lian paused after hearing this, then turned around and said, "I'll make you some portable spiritual food. You can eat it on the way back."
"Although I don't know what the food quality is like in your hometown, it is definitely not as good as mine. This saves you not only not gaining weight but also losing weight after you return home."
Zhang Wei smiled and said: "Haha... That's just right. Let me help you. My skills can be regarded as a second-level spiritual chef."
"Okay, help me choose the food."
In this way, three days after Zhang Wei came out of seclusion, Zhang Wei rode Cong Yun, who was already in the middle stage of foundation building, and greeted Chi Lian who was seeing him off behind him: "Chi Lian, go back, see you in half a year."
"Well, come back soon!"
Chi Lian watched as the figures of Zhang Wei and Cong Yun gradually disappeared from sight, and then he sighed slowly and returned to the Sanxian Cave alone.
…
Thousands of miles away from Jindu on Fenglin Mountain, in the majestic imperial city.
Ji Ning, who had officially become a foundation-building monk, suddenly received a request from a new casual cultivator who had been recruited by the Ji family in the past two years to serve as a foundation-building monk.
A young man with a handsome face said: "I have met fellow Taoist Ji Ning."
Ji Ning asked with concern: "What's wrong with fellow Daoist Qin? Is it because you don't have enough cultivation resources? Do you need me to allocate some to you?"
Regarding Qin Fan, Ji Ning and even the entire Ji family's attitude is mainly to win over. After all, it is too difficult to find a Sanwu San who has no background, no teacher, and no foundation these days to build the foundation.
If they were bound to each other as Taoist couples, when Ji Ning and Qin Fan break through to the middle stage of foundation building in the future, their Ji family would be more likely to find a spiritual line and become a real immortal cultivating family.
However, Qin Fan shook his head, took out an ancient book and asked excitedly: "I found such a piece of information in the library of the palace. Is it true?"
Ji Ning lowered her head and saw that it was the message about the lush grass map that she had mentioned when she asked Zhang Wei for help.
Ji Ning frowned and said, "Are you talking about the picture of abundant grass?"
"That's right!"
Qin Fan said excitedly: "If we have this map of abundant herbs, we will not be short of resources for future cultivation, and even climbing to the Zi Mansion is not a luxury!"
Qin Fan thought of his past.
Seventeen years ago, when he was picking herbs in Jinbao Mountain, he luckily encountered a huge animal corpse in a cave behind a waterfall, and picked up half a scroll from beside the animal corpse.
Then he accidentally pushed half of the scroll into a magical space, where he obtained many high-level medicinal herbs, and this was how he rose to power.
That's why he was particularly excited now when he learned the clues to the other half of his treasure!
If he completes the picture of abundant herbs, wouldn't he have a complete fourth-level high-grade magic weapon? With countless resources? !
This is my opportunity!
So Qin Fan will be particularly excited at this moment, his eyes are shining, as if he is telling Ji Ning, let's go to Fenglin Mountain to find the treasure of Master Chijin!
However, Ji Ning said sheepishly: "This... I'm afraid it won't work."
Qin Fan frowned and said, "Why?"
Doesn't Ji Ning not want to share the opportunity of this lush picture with her?
Ji Ning smiled bitterly and said: "Because it's too late. As early as ten years ago, in order to build the foundation, I gave the key to the cave as a reward to a senior in exchange for the opportunity for him to search for the spiritual essence of heaven and earth for me in the Shennong Secret Realm. .
Afterwards, he successfully returned with the Immortal Wood Spiritual Heart, and I gave him the key to the cave. Moreover, the senior also sent back the remains of our ancestors. I am afraid that he has taken away all the treasures inside. "
Qin Fan was shocked when he heard this.
"What?!"
Am I ten years late? !
"well!!!!"
Qin Fan sighed in annoyance, and then continued to ask without giving up: "Dare you ask who that senior is? Do you have a way to contact fellow Taoist Ji Ning?"
Now Qin Fan can only hope that the foundation builder has no eyes for gold and jade, so he can't see it, or he hasn't found half of the picture of abundant herbs.
Although he thinks this possibility is slim.
But you have to fight for it.
"Of course there is contact information. The senior killed the late-stage foundation-building monster in Maple Forest Mountain and did not leave. Now he is living in seclusion in Maple Forest Mountain. Our Ji family also asked him to refine weapons twice. Woolen cloth."
Ji Ning said, and then seemed to see Qin Fan's thoughts, so she frowned and warned: "But fellow Taoist Qin, I would like to advise you, it is better not to get involved in this matter!
That senior was already in the late stage of Foundation Establishment ten years ago, and now he is naturally stronger. He may have reached the peak of Foundation Establishment, or even Zifu! "
Qin Fan didn't believe it: "How could it be so fast?"
He has been building the foundation for four or five years. Relying on the resource supply of the half of the Hundred Herbs Picture, he has only opened five spiritual orifices in total. Naturally, he knows the difficulty of opening the spiritual orifices during the foundation building period.
What's more, it's the later stage of foundation building.
Ji Ning reminded: "He has a great background."
Qin Fan asked curiously: "Background? How big is it?"
Ji Ning looked unnatural and said: "He is a Taoist companion of Master Zifu! And that Zifu is very young, he must be a true disciple of the five great sects!"
"hiss---"
Qin Fan took a breath of cold air.
It turned out that he was just eating soft rice! That’s no wonder!
Then Qin Fan's face turned bitter.
In this way, the possibility of him getting back the half piece of the Hundred Grasses Picture is extremely slim! Could it be that we just missed the chance?
Just when Qin Fan was thinking about how to plan the half of the map of Fenglin Mountain, Zhang Wei returned to Chen State from Fenglin Mountain over hundreds of thousands of miles.
At this time, the State of Chen had been founded forty-five years.
Most feudal dynasties were prosperous in the early days of their founding, and Chen Kingdom was no exception, even after two Chen emperors had been replaced.
Even because the two generations of Chen Emperors worked hard to govern, they even took back one of the several counties that the first generation Chen Emperor had ceded to foreign countries. It can be said that it was a peaceful and prosperous era.
Even domestic commerce has developed a lot.
Among them, Hidden Dragon City in Hidden Dragon Mountain is the most obvious.
More than forty years have passed, and under the protection of four foundation-building monks, Hidden Dragon Mountain is definitely an existence that the casual cultivators and knight-errants from nearby countries dare not mess with.
Therefore, the local security level is very good, and it is at the junction with Mi State. After hundreds of Zhang family monks used magic to dig mountains and dig roads to open up transportation between the two countries, the Zhang family's Hidden Dragon Mountain became the gateway from Mi State to Chen State. The only way to go.
As a result, the Zhang family has made great progress.
Now in Hidden Dragon Mountain, a large secular city that can accommodate hundreds of thousands of people has been built in the center of that road.
Even at a place not far from the Zhang Family's Hidden Dragon Cave Clan, Zhang Xiong had the foresight to arrange a formation and draw some spiritual energy there.
This attracted many casual cultivators and family cultivators from surrounding countries, forming a small city with more than a thousand resident cultivators!
In addition, Zhang Wei was able to see some facilities that were completely different from today's immortal cultivation background. This was also thanks to the information he left behind, allowing the residents of Hidden Dragon City to enjoy some simple modern industrial conveniences.
At this moment, Zhang Wei was holding Cong Yun and walking in Canglongfang City, looking at everything unfamiliar in front of him.
It is true that Hidden Dragon Bo is very simple, not to mention compared with the big cities in the world of immortality such as Yulong Bo and Vanilla Bo. It can't even compare with Izumo Bo City a few decades ago. It is only at the level of a village.
But Zhang Wei believes that it is only a matter of time before the Zhang Family's Hidden Dragon Shop surpasses Izumo Shop and even becomes the number one market in several nearby countries!
"Over the past 40 years, my hometown has changed a lot."
Zhang Wei couldn't help but sigh. At this time, several laughing young people were passing by, which reminded Zhang Wei of a poem.
When the young man left home and his boss came back, his local pronunciation has not changed and his hair on his temples has not faded yet.
Looking at the laughing and playing children in front of him, Zhang Wei couldn't help but feel a sense of relief. This should be their Zhang family's doll, right?
I don’t know which cousin’s grandchildren they are…eh? Why did the fight start?
Zhang Wei was surprised to see that because of a small contact, several young men and women in Chinese robes pushed down a young man who was not very well-dressed, and then punched him.
"Hit him!"
"Little bastard! Beat him!"
"How dare you disobey us, a mere piece of trash born from a concubine? You're looking for death!"
"Hit me hard!"
"Hey, stop fighting! Mr. De, I was wrong!"
Zhang Wei: "..."
Zhang Wei looked around, then pulled out a straight branch from the branch on the roadside, then walked up and whipped one of the young men on the back.
"Ouch!"
"Who hit me?!"
The young man felt the pain, then turned around with his hands on his back. Seeing Zhang Wei holding a branch with an ordinary demon horse following behind him, he immediately said with disdain: "Where did this loose cultivator come from? I don't know what I am." Zhang Shoude?"
"Zhang Shoude?"
Zhang Wei frowned when he saw this young man's stinky look. He vaguely remembered that the Shouzi generation looked like the fourth generation of the Zhang family.
Judging from the clothes, he is still a direct descendant.
So...this naughty little kid is actually Zhang Ping's great-grandson? Can he be considered his great-great-grandson?
Zhang Wei looked at the other children and said coldly: "Where are you?"
"I am Zhang Shouyi!"
"Zhang Shouren!"
"Benevolence...virtue...righteousness?"
Zhang Wei looked at the careless looks of these brats, and then looked at the branch disciples who were beaten by them and were so timid that they did not dare to speak.
He smiled.
Are you worthy of being called benevolent, virtuous and righteous?
At this moment, Zhang Shoude did not realize the seriousness of the matter, and still ordered Zhang Weiyi angrily: "Kneel down and apologize to me now, and I will be merciful and spare your life, otherwise..."
Zhang Wei threw the branch away and slapped the boy!
"Ouch!"
That face turned red instantly!
Zhang Shoude cried instantly.
Several other people were shocked when they saw this, but they still said sternly: "Who are you? How dare you hit members of our Zhang family! If you have the guts, tell me by name!"
"who I am?"
Zhang Wei sneered, and green arcs of electricity danced on his body.
"I am your great ancestor!"
PiLi PiLi————
"ah!!!!!"
The deliberately controlled Jiamu Divine Thunder struck down, causing the children to cry for father and mother, and soon attracted the Zhang family monks on duty.
When they saw someone using thunder to bully the children of the Zhang family, they immediately yelled, "How brave are you little thieves!"
Then they were slapped one by one by their sixty-year-old captain, who twisted his head and came over to kowtow to Zhang Wei.
"I've met the second master!"
Boom——Boom————
A series of melodious bells rang in the Zhang Family of Hidden Dragon Mountain, causing millions of mortals and thousands of casual cultivators living in Hidden Dragon City to look sideways.
Then, no matter what they were doing, the immortal disciples of the Zhang family who lived in Hidden Dragon City immediately put down their work and rushed towards the direction of their clan.
The people in the city and the spies from other forces lurking here were even talking about it, asking each other why the Zhang family rang the god-summoning bell to summon the clan members.
Because the God Summoning Bell will not ring for no reason, every time it rings, something big happens, and the last time it rang, two foundation-building monks came together to join the Zhang family and become its worshippers.
In the contemporary Zhang family, Zhang Ping rang the divine bell to summon the clan members to celebrate together.
So why this time?
It's impossible that the Zhang family's foundation builder has died. Among the Zhang family's foundation builders, the oldest one, Gu Man, still has decades to live.
The remaining three are extremely young and do not go out on weekdays. The possibility of being robbed and killed is infinitely close to zero.
So there won’t be any more foundation-building monks joining the Zhang family, right?
Thinking of this situation, the spies from all forces in Hidden Dragon City all turned pale, and then quickly sent back the relevant information and ideas.
The Zhang family already has four foundation-building masters, and they are the strongest existences in the surrounding countries except Yunshang Sect and other large sects. What if there is another one?
I'm afraid that when the Zhang family summons their clansmen this time, they want to hold a banquet to welcome the new foundation-building expert like they did twenty years ago, right?
Everyone thought so.
But actually...
As the current head of the Zhang family, Zhang Pingzheng, who is over seventy years old, is kneeling in the ancestral hall with a timid expression, followed by hundreds of Zhang family monks.
Among them were men and women, old and young, all of whom dared not breathe. They were too scared to even raise their heads, for fear of offending the second master of the Zhang family who was offering incense to the ancestors of the Zhang family.
And Zhang Xiong, who is called the old man of the Zhang family, is staying with Zhang Wei at the moment, working with him to offer incense to the ancestors of the Zhang family.
Zhang Wei put the incense on the incense burner, and then slowly said: "Brother, how many years have I been away? Fifty years?"
Zhang Ping immediately said: "Second Uncle Qizhen, you have been gone for a total of forty years."
Zhang Xiong glared and shouted: "Who asked you to speak?"
Zhang Ping immediately retracted his head.
Zhang Wei sighed: "It's been less than fifty years! I already have all kinds of bad habits!"
"Insult your fellow tribesmen!"
"Bullying others with strength!"
"Unreasonable and unreasonable!"
"Do you think that since our Zhang family has several foundation builders in charge, we feel that the boss in heaven is the boss, the boss in earth is the boss, and we are the boss in the third place!"
Zhang Wei said in a stern tone, his voice like rolling thunder, startling the hundreds of Zhang family monks present.
Zhang Wei shouted: "It's a shame that I wanted to bring a few friends back, but the result is great, the family tradition of our Zhang family has become like this!"
Fortunately, some of my friends were unable to come because of something else, otherwise I would have lost my face in the Linglong Sea! Zhang Ping, is this the house you manage? ! "
Zhang Ping immediately bowed and said, "Second uncle, calm down! Ping'er will definitely clean up the family style afterwards!"
"Second Master, calm down!"
The head of the family knelt down and apologized, and the ordinary tribesmen behind him naturally followed suit immediately, and Zhang Wei fell to the ground with a loud crash.
"snort!"
Zhang Wei looked coldly at the frightened Zhang family children who were shaking like chaff, and said: "Everyone in the family under the age of twenty-five, please write me a review for this matter, 10,000 words in handwriting!"
"If anyone dares to fool...hum!"
As he spoke, cyan thunder erupted from Zhang Wei's body.
