Immortal Path Evergreen
Chapter 59 Return to Xihefang
As the elder of the family, he no longer needs to undertake the family's chores, but there are many complicated things to deal with, and he may not have more free time.
Zhang Zhixuan took over the affairs of his ninth uncle Zhang Mengquan.
In addition to refining elixirs for the family, his task is to be responsible for the business in the market and the spiritual fields under the mountain.
These two incomes are almost the family's largest source of income now, and they control the largest income of the family.
Handing this matter to Zhang Zhixuan is enough to represent the family's attention to him.
Since the incident in Xihefang that year, Zhang Zhixuan has not been to Xihefang again.
Because the Hu family has a relationship with Hu Peiyu, with the support of Qingxuan Sect, his family has occupied half of the income of Xihefang City.
This fact made the five major families in Taicheng County very dissatisfied, but they could do nothing about it.
There are a number of spiritual veins in Taicheng County. If they leave Xihefang, where can they open the market?
So under the leadership of the Wu family, the five major families nearby began to isolate the Hu family, not communicating with them, and not doing business with him.
They even mobilized the weaker families of their vassalage to block the Hu family and make it difficult for them to survive.
Unfortunately, the old fox of the Hu family also has quite good means, constantly giving up some benefits to fight price wars, in order to win over local independent cultivators and small families.
In this way, they sell various cultivation resources at a low level to each other, and in recent years, it has promoted the prosperity of Xihefang.
After serving as the elder of the family, Zhang Zhixuan went to the spiritual field to take a look.
The yellow bud grass was planted in the spiritual field again, and it will take another three years to mature.
The most precious tens of beads of spiritual grass are still the same. This kind of relatively precious spiritual grass needs dozens or hundreds of years to harvest. Only after years of continuous investment can we wait for the day of harvest.
Only families above the foundation building stage, whose basic strength is relatively stable, will open up such a medicine garden. And the general small families in the Qi training period, even if there are a few acres of spiritual fields in the family, mostly plant some spiritual rice.
After all, these small families have been through many twists and turns. Perhaps the spiritual medicine they planted has not yet matured, and the family has declined. It may even arouse the greed of others and lead to the disaster of extermination.
After seeing the spiritual field, Zhang Zhixuan immediately went to Xihefang.
Zhang Zhixuan also had some unspeakable shadows in his heart about Xihefang.
The scene of that day was still lingering in Zhang Zhixuan's mind. In just one or two days, the family's cultivators in the market suffered heavy casualties. Among the thirteen clansmen, only four survived safely in the end.
The voice and smile of Zhang Mengquan, the ninth uncle who cared for him very much, were like frames of pictures, and still floated in Zhang Zhixuan's heart.
Unfortunately, after parting in Xihefang, they could never see each other again before they had time to say a few words of farewell.
A fierce battle in the market seemed to be just yesterday.
Even after six years, Zhang Zhixuan could still recall his embarrassment when he fled in a hurry, the fear when he was chased, and the joy after surviving by chance.
When he went to Xihefang Market again, Zhang Zhixuan suddenly felt that things had changed.
A great battle that year destroyed most of the shops in the market, and even the formations stationed in the market were completely destroyed by Wei Mazi and others.
After the Hu family took control of the market, they renovated the dilapidated houses and arranged a new defensive formation.
Today's Xihefang, in Zhang Zhixuan's eyes, has a feeling of being completely different.
Before the chaos in Xihefang, the Zhang family had a total of eight shops.
After the Hu family took control of the market, they obtained half of the ownership of Xihefang, and only four shops were left in the family.
It happened that the family had always been short of manpower, so they simply gave the rented shops to the Hu family.
The remaining four shops were connected together, and the shelves inside were not fully arranged.
In the past two years, because Zhang Zhixuan went to the Southern Wilderness, the family did not train a second alchemist, and there was no elixir business, so the business in the market was of course a little worse.
Zhang Zhixuan suppressed his feelings and quickly entered Baicaoxuan.
The elder of Baicaoxuan is Uncle Zhang Menglan. After not seeing him for a few years, Uncle Zhang's cultivation is still at the sixth level of Qi training, which is far inferior to Zhang Zhixuan.
Because the market is far away from the family, Uncle Zhang has not returned to the mountain gate recently.
In addition, there are many cultivators near the market, and it is not suitable to send communication talismans to avoid being intercepted by other cultivators, so he is not aware that Zhang Zhixuan has become the elder of the family.
Seeing Zhang Zhixuan coming in, Uncle Zhang's face was happy, and he said happily: "I haven't seen you for a few years, Zhixuan's cultivation is even more unfathomable.
I heard that you left the family to travel, when did you come back?"
"It's been less than a month since I came back, Uncle Zhang, how is the business of these shops in the market recently?" Zhang Zhixuan asked.
"It's still like this!
After the ninth brother left, the business in Baicaoxuan was getting worse day by day.
Fortunately, the patriarch's injury has improved a little in recent years. Every three months, he has to draw a few second-level high-quality talismans, which can barely exchange for some spiritual stones.
In addition, sister Mengqin can refine one or two second-level high-quality magic tools every year and send them over. If that day comes, the store may be a little more lively."
"Everything will get better slowly." Zhang Zhixuan comforted.
"It's a bird!
The best-selling thing in the market is still the elixir. Without the alchemist in the family, the shops in the market are like this, and can only support a few idle people.
If you don't come back, Baicaoxuan will close." Zhang Menglan shook his head with disdain.
His words implied that he was complaining about Zhang Zhixuan's traveling, and he disliked that he was not doing his job and not staying at home to make pills for Baicaoxuan.
Except for a few people in the family, the news that Zhang Zhixuan went to the Southern Wilderness to seek revenge has been concealed from the outside world.
In order to prevent the news from being leaked and discovered by the Wu family, which would bring danger to Zhang Zhixuan.
Therefore, Uncle Seventeen, a cultivator who is not a family elder, has no idea where Zhang Zhixuan has gone.
Regarding Uncle Seventeen's complaints, Zhang Zhixuan smiled indifferently and said without explanation: "I'm back, Baicaoxuan will not close."
"Since you are back, I will report to the clan leader and hand over the job in the market to you in three years. In this way, I can relax a little.
When I return to Lushan, I will prepare to retreat for a period of time to break through the late stage of Qi training." Zhang Mengjian said happily.
Zhang Zhixuan took out the elder token, waved it in front of his uncle, and said, "I have become an elder of the family, and I don't have to do menial work anymore.
I have been free recently, so I will take your place for a while.
Since you are on the verge of a breakthrough, you should hurry up and break through.
After all, the most important thing for a cultivator is the realm of cultivation."
Seeing Zhang Zhixuan take out the elder token, his uncle Zhang Mengjian was surprised and said in disbelief, "Zhixuan!
You came down the mountain at the age of sixteen, and it has only been seven years.
This year you are only twenty-three years old, and your cultivation has reached the ninth level of Qi training. You have a good chance of becoming a great man in the future."
Zhang Zhixuan said modestly, "Uncle Seventeen, you are too kind. It is hard to say what will happen in the future. Without the foundation-building pill, I may not be able to successfully build a foundation. I have to try this one-thirty probability.
If it succeeds, everyone will be happy. If it fails, it is just my chance."
