After a moderate battle, Zhang Mingxian and others were still seizing the time to recover their mana, so Zhang Qing went down to the Xuanfeng Abyss alone to grab the Xuanyan ore.
As for why he doesn't need to recover? Because his consumption is not large.
When monks practice, they will all go through the Qi-entraining stage at the very beginning.
No matter what technique you practice, you need to attract nine rays of heaven and earth spiritual energy into your body during the Qi-entraining stage. The nine strands of spiritual energy condense into mana in the body, which means that the monk has transcended the Qi-entraining stage and entered the first level of Qi training.
What follows is a step-by-step practice. Instead of directing nine strands of spiritual energy into mana, it directly refines the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to form mana. After the nine mana, it is the second level of Qi training.
By analogy, practicing during the Qi training period is actually very boring and ordinary, but precisely because there is no difficulty or technicality in it, there are as many Qi training monks in this world as Hengsha.
As for Zhang Qing, he found something different about himself when he was in the Qi-entraining stage.
With the same nine strands of spiritual energy in his body, he was able to find that he could split each strand of spiritual energy into three parts.
Later, he discovered that it was not a split, but that the mana in his body was three times that of the same realm, but every third part of it would condense and look like one part.
In other words, every part of his magic power is three times more powerful than others.
Therefore, Zhang Qing was able to achieve the effect of temporarily breaking through his cultivation in front of others. In fact, he just dispersed the mana in his body three times at that moment. The sudden burst of breath naturally caused a breakthrough in cultivation. Breakthrough effect.
Therefore, after a battle, he can still be alive and kicking, and the mana in his body only needs to recover naturally.
Peaceful time always passes quickly, and in the blink of an eye, three days have passed.
And this day is also a rare rest day for them. The five foundation-building monks will return to the mine from all directions. The Xuanyan Mine is extremely safe on this day.
Zhang Qing and others had a rare opportunity to cash in the ore and purchase the training resources they would need next month.
As for the cultivation resources given by the family, they are obviously not enough.
"It seems that something big happened." Returning to the mine again, Zhang Qing clearly felt that the atmosphere here was different, and it was definitely not joyful.
Fortunately, he saw the busy Zhang Tang right away. He found a good job in Xuanyan Mine, so he would be busy these days, helping the elders of Foundation Establishment to deal with some things.
"Brother, what happened?"
Zhang Tang glanced around and nodded solemnly to Zhang Qing, "This matter actually has to be blamed on you Xuan Feng Yuan. You were the one who discovered the Shui family last time, right?"
"Yes." Zhang Qing replied, this is not a secret.
"That's it." Zhang Tang looked at Zhang Qing and shrugged helplessly, "According to our information, there are not only a few disciples of the Shui family appearing around, but also two or three foundation-building monks, among whom there may be The water-breaking alchemy cultivator from the Shui family is also here."
"You may not know much about Shui Family's Shuishui Dan Cultivator. He is a ninth-level foundation-building monk of Shui Family. His strength ranks among the top five in Shui Family."
"The other party was already at the ninth level of Foundation Establishment thirty years ago. In the past thirty years, more than three digits of Foundation Establishment demons have died in the hands of the other party. The most important thing is that the other party did not practice the fundamental inheritance of the Shui family. When building the foundation, he became an alchemist."
"Think about it, the fundamental inheritance of the Shui family is the same immortal method as our Tianhuo Wuji, but he just gave up and switched to the inheritance of a senior who cultivated golden lotus. However, no one in the Shui family objected, so you can think of it Now you know how powerful the other party is."
"The transformation of immortal magic into mortal magic, such courage..." Zhang Qing's eyes showed surprise, but in fact he was not unfamiliar with the other party as Zhang Tang thought.
When the family was reading the files, there was a description of the achievements of this foundation-building monk named Shui Che.
It was a joint operation by the Zhang family's foundation-building monks. Ten foundation-building monks were dispatched to surround and kill a demon with a powerful inheritance. In the end, they failed with nearly half of them injured.
Just when they were about to be wiped out, Shui Che appeared.
The file did not describe the other party's methods too much, so Zhang Qing did not know that the other party was an alchemy cultivator, but it recorded the resentment of the elders of the Zhang family at that time.
They thought it was Shui Che who robbed them of their trophies, or that it took nearly half of them to die before they saw the opportunity.
The specific truth is unknown, but Zhang Qing is more inclined to the statement of the elders of the Zhang family. This is not entirely because he is a member of the Zhang family.
Mainly according to his thinking, if the other party encounters several Zhang Family Foundation Establishers who are dying, it is inevitable that they will not save them, and may even get involved and directly save the lives of several Zhang Family Foundation Establishments.
This is not his imagination, but the world of immortality is so cruel.
"Do you know the purpose of their appearance nearby?" Zhang Qing asked, but he didn't hold out much hope.
But who knew that Zhang Tang nodded solemnly at him, "It is said that several elders sent people to negotiate, but did not get an answer. But later, for some unknown reason, the Shui family took the initiative to send people to tell us the purpose."
"The Xuanyan Mine is located in a mountain range. The mine only occupies one-tenth of it, but the entire mountain range is under the control of our Zhang family. You know this, right?"
Zhang Qing nodded and heard Zhang Tang's voice continue.
"According to the information from the Shui family, there seems to be a demon under this mountain range."
"Monster?" Zhang Qing was a little confused. This place should have been cleaned up by the Zhang family long ago, and... why did the Shui family know?
"Yes, the demon." Zhang Tang's face was solemn because of this, "Originally my uncle didn't believe it, but after several detailed investigations, we really found traces of the demon."
"At least they are all demons with a ninth-level foundation. Damn it, how could such a demon appear in Xuanyan Mine!"
Of course it's because there is a strong aura of heaven and earth here.
"Why did the demon appear here?" Zhang Qing frowned slightly, and then glanced into the distance inadvertently.
There, the four Optimus Primes towering into the sky are still the same size, but the opponent is always moving forward. This is something that everyone who sees it can clearly understand.
For hundreds of years, the existence of the four pillars on the west horizon has long been the backdrop for Yunmengze, but no one will forget the terrible changes this backdrop has had on Yunmengze.
Demons have a terrible name because they cause trouble in the world, but demons are not chaotic. They also have wisdom, and often far surpass human monks in this regard.
"Is this demon also chasing the sky-reaching demon?" Following Zhang Qing's gaze, Zhang Tang also saw the four pillars on the horizon.
More than two hundred years ago, no, even longer ago, there was a legend within Yunmengze, saying that in a thousand years, the great demon that reaches the sky will pass through the land of Yunmengze, and everything will be reduced to ruins by then. and mud.
More than two hundred years ago, such rumors reached their peak, because at that time thousands of demons poured into Yunmeng Ze from all directions like pilgrims.
I don’t know how many cultivation inheritances disappeared at that time, and I don’t know how many inheritances were created because of that chaos. The Zhang family emerged from that chaos.
Everything is because of demons, and the reason why there is that demon chaos is because of the existence of Tongtian on the other side of the sky who may not care at all.
Countless monsters want to chase each other's steps, but most of them can't even see each other's shadow, so they try their best to get in front of the sky-reaching existence, waiting for the arrival of the monster one day.
This has almost become the belief of many demons. After thinking of this, Zhang Qing is not surprised that demons may exist underground.
Just the suggestion that the other party might pass by Yunmengze was enough for these demons to appear in Yunmengze.
