Chapter 4 Sutra Hall

There are three places with the most abundant spiritual energy on the entire Lushan Mountain. One is in the back mountain, which is used to support the cultivation of the clan leader.

Another place is the Moon-Watching Pavilion, which is mainly used to support the cultivation of underage family cultivators and elderly cultivators.

The remaining place is on the top of the mountain, where almost all adult cultivators living at the mountain gate cultivate.

Zhang Zhixuan moved his footsteps lightly. He could move three meters away at a speed by lightly touching the ground. This is the benefit of practicing the light body technique.

A cultivator like him who practices Qi at the sixth level can travel three hundred miles in an hour if he rushes at full speed, which is not much slower than the car in his previous life.

It's a pity that his mana is still a little insufficient. If he runs at full speed, his mana will slowly run out in just two hours.

In less than half a quarter of an hour, Zhang Zhixuan has reached the top of the mountain.

On the top of the mountain, there are more than a dozen tall green bamboos. These dozen green bamboos are not ordinary things, but the second-level top-grade spiritual wood Qingling Yuzhu.

The cultivation of cultivators is divided into nine levels: Xiantian, Qi training, foundation building, purple mansion, golden elixir, Yuanying, Yuanshen, returning to the void, and Hedao.

Spiritual herbs and spiritual trees are also divided into nine levels according to their spiritual energy and efficacy. Among them, the ninth level is the highest and has long been extinct in this world. Even the seventh-level spiritual wood has been rare in the past tens of thousands of years.

Each level is further divided into three grades.

If these dozens of second-level high-quality spiritual wood Qingling Yuzhu are refined into magic tools, they can add a second-level high-quality magic sword to every cultivator in the family.

These green bamboos are scattered and the planting site of each green bamboo has been carefully selected and is located in a place with abundant spiritual energy.

After the family's arrangement, these green bamboos have been arranged into a third-level low-quality formation, Qingguang Bamboo Sea Formation.

As long as there is a Qi training cultivator holding a formation flag under each Qingling Yuzhu, relying on this third-level low-quality formation, it can easily resist the attack of a cultivator in the early stage of foundation building.

Zhang Zhixuan took a closer look and found that there was a golden cushion under each green jade bamboo. A dozen cultivators over 30 years old sat on the cushions without moving, practicing quietly.

Zhang Zhixuan took out a jade talisman from his waist and transmitted a trace of magic power. A faint spiritual light was emitted from the jade talisman and shot directly into the formation.

In an instant, a dozen green bamboos swayed gently, and the spiritual light emitted a few waves. Then a gate suddenly appeared in the open space in front.

Zhang Zhixuan walked along the gate for more than 30 steps and walked directly into a hall more than 18 feet high.

There were dozens of books in the hall, and more than a dozen jade slips were placed in the front. This hall was the most important building of the Zhang family, the Sutra Pavilion.

The second elder of the family, a cultivator of the ninth level of Qi training, Zhang Mengling, who was less than 50 years old, was sitting on the top of the hall.

Zhang Mengling's qualifications were also extraordinary. He was a cultivator of the second spiritual root and had practiced to the ninth level of Qi training for more than ten years.

Unfortunately, the family power has declined in recent years, and there is no ability to provide him with foundation-building pills.

Under normal circumstances, Zhang Mengling may have to wait for another ten years.

After the age of sixty, the qi and blood of a Qi-cultivating cultivator will gradually deplete, and the confidence in building a foundation will become less and less, and the probability of success will become lower and lower.

Although Zhang Mengling has extraordinary spiritual roots, he dare not take the risk of building a foundation without the help of foundation-building pills.

It has always been extremely dangerous for cultivators to build a foundation. Without the assistance of foundation-building pills, one may be in danger of life if he is not careful.

Cultivators like him will only take the risk of building a foundation when they are about sixty years old and have no choice.

"Uncle Nineteen asked me to come here. Is there anything to arrange?" Zhang Zhixuan looked at Zhang Mengling and asked.

"In the recent period, the seventh, eleventh, thirteenth, seventeenth, and ninth have to return to the mountain. The family has some industries outside the mountain and cannot be left unattended. So I can only trouble my nephew to go down the mountain and hold on for a while." Zhang Mengling arched his hands and said with a pleasant face.

"After we go down the mountain, what should I do with the subsequent cultivation methods of my nephew?" Zhang Zhixuan asked.

"You can copy the subsequent cultivation methods of the Fiery Shining Gold Art for the Qi training period, and you can freely choose five spells in the Sutra Pavilion for your subsequent cultivation."

In the entire Zhang family, apart from the patriarch, Zhang Mengling has the most say. According to the family rules, Zhang Zhixuan still has two years of free cultivation time. According to his age, it is not time for him to go down the mountain.

So this time when Zhang Zhixuan was summoned, although Zhang Mengling was in power, he was still very friendly and gave generous conditions.

According to the family rules, for every breakthrough of a level of cultivation by an underage cultivator, the family Sutra Hall will provide a level of cultivation method and a spell.

If you have reached adulthood, you need to work for the family, complete the family tasks, and rely on the family contribution to exchange.

Zhang Zhixuan has already practiced the sixth level of Qi, and he can exchange one level of cultivation method and three spells in the Sutra Hall.

This time, going down the mountain two years earlier can exchange for three more layers of skills and two spells at one time.

If these resources are exchanged for spirit stones, for a casual cultivator, it will be at least more than 300 low-grade spirit stones.

This is also the special care that Zhang Mengling gave Zhang Zhixuan because he saw that Zhang Zhixuan had good spiritual roots, a strong character, and a bright future.

If it was a cultivator with four or five spiritual roots who could hardly build a foundation, I am afraid Zhang Mengling would not even look at them, let alone let them go down the mountain early.

After all, these pseudo-spiritual root cultivators often have not broken through the innate stage after adulthood, and they may not even have learned magic.

Even if they go down the mountain, they can only guard the shops in the market and manage the towns of mortals, and it is impossible for them to help their families much.

They often enter the middle and late stages of Qi training after the age of sixty. At this time, they are already deficient in Qi and blood, and their magic power is insufficient. Although they have more experience, they can no longer fight against the young and strong cultivators of the same level.

At this age, they can only return to the mountain to educate their young children.

If you are lucky enough to learn the hundred arts of cultivating immortals, you can make talismans, refine weapons, and refine pills in the mountains and continue to contribute to the family.

Cultivators need to breathe in and out spiritual energy every day, and apart from spiritual mountains and spiritual lands, there is not much spiritual energy in the outside world to support cultivators' cultivation.

So once cultivators go out, they must rely on spiritual objects containing spiritual energy to cultivate.

These spiritual objects are divided into spiritual shells, spiritual stones, spiritual jade, spiritual water, etc., and are divided into three grades according to the amount of spiritual energy contained.

One hundred low-grade spiritual stones are equal to one medium-grade spiritual stone, and one hundred medium-grade spiritual stones are equal to one high-grade spiritual stone.

One low-grade spiritual stone can be cultivated once every ten days, which can allow a cultivator in the middle stage of Qi training to cultivate for one year at the foot of the mountain.

If the cultivator has no other spiritual objects in his hand for more than one year, then his mana will not be replenished, and his cultivation will slowly regress until his spiritual energy is exhausted and he eventually degenerates into a cultivator in the innate stage.

"What does Uncle Nineteen want his nephew to do after he goes down the mountain?" Zhang Zhixuan asked.

"Your seventh uncle is ready to go back to the mountain. The thirty acres of spiritual fields near Lushan County at the foot of the mountain are no longer being taken care of. If you are willing, go and look after the spiritual fields! However, if you want to look after the spiritual fields, you must learn the spells of killing insects and irrigating. You have already learned the Golden Needle Technique, which can not only be used to attack the enemy, but also kill the pests in the spiritual fields. If you choose to look after the spiritual fields, you must choose the spell of Gathering Spirits and Turning Rain. With the means of Gathering Spirits and Turning Rain, you can irrigate the spiritual fields, kill the pests, and wait until the harvest season." Zhang Mengling smiled with relief when he heard that Zhang Zhixuan was willing to go down the mountain.
