Lu Ping and Lu Yuanshan discussed for a while about cultivating crystallized monks for the sect.
The sect's short-term development direction is very clear.
We must work hard to cultivate crystallized monks.
As for the sect's economy, it is now developing better and better, so naturally the development of the sect's economy will not be ignored.
Both father and son talked about these.
…
After leaving Houshan Cave Mansion, Lu Yuanshan used his flying sword to fly towards the sect's main hall.
Before he even landed, he saw a figure pacing back and forth outside the sect's main hall.
Lu Yuanshan took a closer look and saw that it was Zhang Deming, the head of the Zhang family.
"Elder Zhang, are you looking for me?"
Seeing Zhang Deming appear at this time, Lu Yuanshan guessed that Zhang Deming might have something to discuss, so he used his flying sword to land in front of Zhang Deming.
"Headmaster Lu."
Seeing Lu Yuanshan appear, Zhang Deming immediately greeted him with a smile.
Lu Yuanshan nodded slightly, and Zhang Deming continued.
"Haha, my little thoughts can't be hidden from the eyes of Master Lu."
Zhang Deming laughed: "There is indeed something I want to discuss with Master Lu."
"Well, Elder Zhang, please come in and we can talk in detail."
Lu Yuanshan said.
"good."
The two entered the hall and sat down.
Zhang Deming didn't beat around the bush, he went straight to the point and made his intention clear.
"Headmaster Lu, I'm looking for you this time because my Zhang family conducts spiritual root testing for the children of the family every three years..."
Zhang Deming said slowly.
Lu Yuanshan listened quietly, and after a while, he knew Zhang Deming's intention.
It turns out that since the Zhang family first relocated the family land to the spiritual veins of Xiaohan Mountain due to relocation, and then invested in the construction of spiritual fields for planting, the family's remaining spiritual stone reserves have quickly bottomed out.
Due to the current economic downturn of the Zhang family, the daily expenditure on spiritual stones is high, and they have to supply eighteen monks in the family to practice. This has brought about the problem of lack of spiritual stones.
As the leader of the clan, Zhang Deming is also gritting his teeth and practicing. He is rarely willing to spend spiritual stones to practice.
If the Zhang family's economy wants to improve, it will take at least a year before the spiritual fields mature and the harvest will bring benefits.
Therefore, according to the current situation of the Zhang family, if a child with spiritual talent is detected among the children of the Zhang family, the Zhang family will not have any extra resources to cultivate them in the short term.
Zhang Deming hopes that those children can be sent to the Qingshan Sect to practice and become disciples of the Qingshan Sect. In this way, while strengthening the relationship with the Qingshan Sect, he also wants the children of the Zhang family to obtain better training resources so that their talents will not be buried.
"I wonder what Master Lu wants?"
After speaking, Zhang Deming waited for Lu Yuanshan's reply.
After Lu Yuanshan learned about Zhang Deming's thoughts, he pondered for a while.
"Let the children of the Zhang family join our Qingshan Sect to practice. This is a simple matter."
Lu Yuanshan smiled calmly: "It's time for our Qingshan Sect to recruit some fresh blood. Since Elder Zhang has this intention, that's what we'll do."
"Hahaha, Master Lu is so happy!"
The two reached a consensus on this.
Lu Yuanshan also proposed that he would send a Qingshan disciple and a Zhang family monk to accompany him to complete the test of spiritual roots.
The next day.
Under the eyes of Zhang Deming and Lu Yuanshan, the two figures slowly left the Qingshan Sect and headed in the opposite direction where Lingxi was.
The monk sent by the Zhang family is a young monk named Zhang Zhiwen, whose strength is at the second level of Qi training.
On the Qingshan Sect side, Lu Yuanshan sent Chu Qin.
Chu Qin's strength has now reached the eighth level of Qi training.
The place the two of them were going to was a town called Pingyang Town.
Pingyang Town is the town where the Zhang family lives. There are more than 10,000 Zhang family members here.
Pingyang Town is more than 400 miles away from Qinglian Mountain, and you need to cross Lingxi River on the way.
Chu Qin and Zhang Zhiwen had a long journey. After crossing Lingxi River, they suddenly discovered that a wolf smoke was burning in the direction of Pingyang Town.
Langyan, this is the contact information set up by the Zhang family’s children in Pingyang Town and the Zhang family.
When smoke breaks out, there is only one situation.
Monsters or demonic cultivators appeared in Pingyang Town.
In order to distinguish what the smoke means, Pingyang Town distinguishes the smoke by quantity.
A streak of smoke indicates that the strength of the monster or demon cultivator that appears is level one.
The first level corresponds to the Qi training period.
Two streaks of smoke represent the invasion of second-level monsters or demonic cultivators.
As for the three and four streaks of smoke, they have never appeared in Pingyang Town.
Second-level enemies have never appeared.
"This is... our Zhang family's summons!"
Zhang Zhiwen's eyes were sharp, and he saw a wolf smoke burning from a distance, with a solemn look on his face.
"With a burst of smoke, there may be a first-order monster or a demon cultivator in the Qi training stage appearing in the town!"
In Pingyang Town, there are naturally Zhang family monks who are stationed all year round and can tell the approximate strength of the intruders.
The person who sent out the smoke message was also the Zhang family monk stationed in Pingyang Town.
"Fellow Daoist Zhang, since there is an enemy situation in Pingyang Town, we should hurry over and have a look to see if we can help in an emergency."
Seeing Zhang Zhiwen's solemn expression and worrying about his fellow tribesmen in Pingyang Town, Chu Qin suggested.
Pingyang Town is as important to the Zhang family as Guangde County is to the Qingshan Sect.
Chu Qin knew the pros and cons and was unwilling to sit idly by.
He still had to follow the order of the leader. If a Zhang family child with spiritual roots was detected in Pingyang Town, he would have to bring him back to the Qingshan Sect safely.
"That's what Fellow Daoist Chu reminded me!"
Zhang Zhiwen nodded heavily and quickly used the lightening technique.
"Fellow Daoist Chu, please follow me."
"It's natural."
After saying this, Chu Qin immediately used his light body technique and followed Zhang Zhiwen's footsteps, quickly running towards Pingyang Town.
When the two of them arrived at the entrance of Pingyang Town, they saw several figures standing on the city wall, keeping the smoke burning.
The leader was a middle-aged man named Zhang Mengqing, a monk from the Zhang family.
Dongxi is more than 20 years older than Zhang Zhiwen. In terms of seniority, he is Zhang Zhiwen's sixth uncle.
Seeing Zhang Zhiwen and Chu Qin rushing towards them, Zhang Mengqing's eyes lit up and he greeted quickly: "My nephew, you are here at the right time. There are monsters causing trouble in our town and we need to clean them up in time."
After saying this, Zhang Mengqing's eyes fell on Chu Qin who was standing aside. He just took a cursory look and nodded as a greeting.
"My dear nephew, come with me quickly, there is no need to delay this matter."
"Well, Uncle Six, please lead the way!"
Zhang Zhiwen responded: "Let's go over and take a look first."
Zhang Mengqing moved very quickly. He took Zhang Zhiwen and Chu Qin and quickly turned left and right for a few streets in the town before slowing down slightly when they came to a courtyard.
Outside the compound, there were some soldiers guarding it, all of them with serious expressions, and some even looked nervous, fearful of the monsters in the compound.
