Immortal Path Evergreen

Zhang Hanyan is seven or eight years older than Zhang Zhixuan, and is already over thirty, but she looks only sixteen or seventeen, like a girl.

She is tall and has a fair complexion, like a beauty from a painting.

She has a good memory and can easily recognize relatives she hasn't seen for more than ten years. When she met Zhang Zhixuan and the other four, she said cheerfully and generously: "I came here immediately after receiving your letter, but Qingxuan Sect is so large that I feel sorry for making everyone wait for so long."

"I haven't seen you for more than ten years, and my little sister hasn't changed much, but I am different. I am now an old woman." Eighteenth Aunt Zhang Mengqin is a woman. She had a close relationship with Zhang Hanyan when they were at the mountain gate, so she spoke first.

The method Zhang Hanyan learned when she was first enlightened was taught by Zhang Mengqin, and the relationship between the two was also closer.

"Sister, you are too modest. You are in your prime now. How can you be old?"

"Sister, stop lying. I am nearly fifty years old now. Although a cultivator in the Qi training stage has a life span of 120 years, half of my body is already buried in the earth. In another ten years, my appearance will be even worse."

It seems that whether it is a woman in the mortal world or a female cultivator with magical powers, they all pay attention to their appearance.

Even a powerful old monster in the Nascent Soul stage who can turn the tide pays attention to his appearance. Female cultivators who do not pay attention to their appearance are even rarer.

The relationship between the few people finally became more familiar with each other as they continued to talk, and became much closer.

Zhang Hanyan looked at Zhang Zhixuan in surprise, then turned to Zhang Menglong and asked, "Fourth brother, whose child is this young man?

He looks so young, but his cultivation is comparable to ours?

When I left the family, this young man should not have entered the Dao, otherwise I would have had an impression of him."

Zhang Menglong smiled proudly and said, "He is the child of your twelfth brother Mengzhen. Zhixuan has good spiritual roots and is a precocious child.

He is very diligent in cultivation and has good luck, so although he is young, his cultivation has caught up with us.

A year ago, the third uncle handed the elder token to him."

"When I left, I heard that my twelfth brother had an accident outside Xihefang City. I didn't expect that more than ten years later, his children have grown up and started to contribute to the family.

Are the relatives at home okay? Have they been safe these years?"

Faced with Zhang Hanyan's greetings, the four of them immediately thought of the difficulties the family had experienced over the years. To make matters worse, the incident in Xihefang made the family, which had finally recovered some vitality, lose blood again.

The family had more than a hundred cultivators in total, and nine of them were lost at once, including Zhang Mengquan, who was at the ninth level of Qi training. It was a serious injury.

The four of them were silent for a while, and the fourth uncle, who was old and wise, immediately said: "Everything is fine, and you don't have to worry about your family. You should concentrate on practicing in Qingxuan Sect.

Even if you want to help, it will be better after you build your foundation."

Zhang Hanyan was very smart. Although everyone changed the topic, she could also guess the difficulties of the family recently, so she said with emotion: "On the road of the great way, who can relax?

Everyone is in trouble. We are descendants of the same bloodline. We can only try to unite and support each other to overcome difficulties."

According to Zhang Hanyan's narration, everyone also knew her situation in Qingxuan Sect.

After she joined Qingxuan Sect, she was sheltered under the tutelage of Taoist Yunzhi, and it was smooth sailing at the beginning.

Taoist Yunzhi was the Taoist partner of Zhang Chuyun. With his support, she successfully built her foundation. Although she has now reached the ninth level of foundation building, she is over 200 years old and basically has no possibility of further progress.

As her disciple, Zhang Hanyan had a comfortable life in Qingxuan Sect, and basically had no worries about various immortal cultivation resources.

According to the rules of Qingxuan Sect, disciples are divided into menial disciples, outer disciples, inner disciples, and true disciples.

Any cultivator who joins Qingxuan Sect halfway can only be a menial disciple. After entering the ninth level of Qi training, he can become an outer disciple. After successfully building the foundation, he will become a deacon elder. If he successfully opens up the purple mansion, he will also become the sect elder of Qingxuan Sect.

A cultivator like Zhang Hanyan who joins Qingxuan Sect as a teenager will be trained as a direct descendant and receive slightly better treatment.

When she first joined Qingxuan Sect, she was an outer disciple. After worshipping Taoist Yunzhi as her teacher, she became an inner disciple.

There are thousands of Qi training cultivators in Qingxuan Sect, and there are more than a few hundred cultivators at the ninth level of Qi training. Qingxuan Sect can only refine one or two furnaces of foundation building pills every ten years. When it is good, twelve or thirteen pills can be made, and when it is not good, only seven or eight pills can be made.

The high-level cultivators of the sect sometimes also ask for the foundation-building pills, and the foundation-building pills that can be distributed every ten years are even scarcer.

This situation of too many monks and too little porridge makes the competition for the foundation-building pills particularly fierce every time the foundation-building pills are refined.

As the saying goes, there is no order without rules. According to the rules of Qingxuan Sect, the competition for the foundation-building pills among the ninth-level cultivators of Qi training should be divided into three aspects.

The first is age. Cultivators over the age of sixty have insufficient blood and qi, and the probability of foundation building is very low, so they cannot compete for the foundation-building pills.

The second is merit. After joining Qingxuan Sect, there will be a sect token, which records the merits of the cultivators to the sect in detail. Cultivators with more good deeds in the sect can choose the foundation-building pills first.

This rule is very suitable for the development of cultivators in the family, because they can earn good deeds with the help of the family, and because of the help of external forces, they often have more good deeds.

The third is spiritual roots. If the cultivators have the same good deeds, the one with better spiritual roots can be selected first.

Because of the shortage of foundation-building pills, some outer disciples who are about sixty years old, if they have great determination and perseverance, will also risk building their foundation without using foundation-building pills at this age.

Once such cultivators succeed, they are often more difficult to deal with. Every ten or eight years, Qingxuan Sect will have such cultivators who succeed in building their foundations, either becoming outer sect elders or true disciples.

Unfortunately, Taoist Yunzhi's life span is running out, and her reputation in the sect is getting worse year by year.

A few years ago, she used the sect's good deeds to exchange for a foundation-building pill and gave it to her family, the Lu family. This practice replaced the quota of an outer disciple, which aroused the anger of the elders of Qingxuan Sect, and her situation became worse.

In recent years, Taoist Yunzhi has rarely appeared. In order to exchange for the foundation-building pill, she not only used up her good deeds, but also consumed the favors left by the ancestor Zhang Chuyun. Now there are not many favors left in the upper echelons of Qingxuan Sect.

Unfortunately, the foundation-building pill she exchanged was not given to Zhang Hanyan, but to her own family, a distant nephew with good qualifications.

So although Zhang Hanyan had good spiritual roots, he could not borrow her strength to build his foundation, and could only rely on the help of his family.
