Going back and forth, Zhang Wugong in Songhu didn't say anything when he heard Zhang Qing's words.
"There are still some places in the Zhao family that have not been cleaned up. You can take people there to solve them."
"No matter how the situation is handled in one month, you can go back to the mine."
"yes."
Without the suppression of foundation building, the Zhao family did not put up much resistance, and the practitioners in those places did not even have a late stage of Qi training.
The process was easy. As the monks of the Zhang family were arranged one by one, the Zhang family became the well-deserved overlord of the Songhu Swamp area.
A month later, Zhang Qing returned to Songhu Mine and met Zhang Wugong again.
The two stood on the top floor of the tall building, looking at the sparse human figures in the huge mine below.
"This is the last batch of spiritual stones to be mined. If we continue down, the entire mine will collapse and the formation will not be able to withstand it."
"In a few days, you go to Juncheng."
"Junchengfang City?"
Zhang Wugong nodded, "The head of the family didn't send anyone here, so we can only find a way ourselves. The final number of this batch of spiritual stones should be around 150,000. You take them all away and go to Junchenfang City to recruit a group of Qi-training monks." .”
"Junchengfang City is different from others. It is on the edge of Yunmengze. It is not easy to recruit monks. You have to figure out how to do it yourself."
Zhang Qing did not refuse, and he indeed wanted to visit that cultivator's city.
"The head of the family said that there might be an opportunity here in Songhu. I'm not sure what it is. The clan elders need to pay attention to it during this time."
"Opportunity? Songhu?" Zhang Wugong didn't say anything, but just agreed, "I'll let Jiuying keep an eye on it."
Three days later, Zhang Qing left the Songhu Mine with a total of 140,000 spirit stones and continued heading further east.
His path was fair and square, but he still didn't encounter any clichéd stories along the way. He successfully walked out of the swamp shrouded in white smoke and set foot on solid land again.
The journey between Songhu Marsh and Junchengfang City is less than half an hour, but there are still no people to be seen on this road.
The sky on both sides was gradually covered by mountains. At the edge of Yunmeng Ze, Zhang Qing finally saw the endless mountains.
Many peaks towered under the clouds, and no one knew what was hidden among them. At the end of the only road, a scene appeared that made Zhang Qing's heart beat faster.
Two horn-like peaks rush straight to the sky. In the center of the peaks, there is a narrow gap, which reflects the red clouds in the sky.
And in the center of this line of sky, below the sea of clouds, a majestic city sits in mid-air. There are countless peaks on both sides, but it firmly fixes the city.
The bright red clouds penetrated through the gap in the sky and fell on Zhang Qing. Looking up, the city where only the shadow could be seen was like a high-ranking king, watching the city under the glow of the setting sun. world.
"This is Juncheng?"
As a foundation-building monk, Zhang Qing did not need to line up below and carry him up through the formation, but flew directly to the city.
Standing at the city gate, Zhang Qing suddenly turned around.
The gaze has said that all the mountains can be seen, even the highest peaks can only be surrendered and looked up at the feet.
The city of King's Landing overlooks the rolling mountains and vast peaks.
"Zhang family?" A sudden voice interrupted Zhang Qing's gaze. When he turned around, he saw two monks wearing full body armor, with only their eyes and mouths exposed.
"Why are you coming to Juncheng?"
With his eyes slightly narrowed, Zhang Qing looked at these two... late stages of Qi training.
"Is this the rule of Juncheng?"
After taking a look at Zhang Qing's young face, the monk on the left said solemnly: "It is indeed the rule of Juncheng. Everyone entering and leaving Juncheng must explain their purpose of visit."
"Even if it's one clan and four clans."
"Oh?" Zhang Qing glanced behind the two of them. The city gate was very short, but he couldn't see what the city looked like behind the wide open door.
"This place belongs to senior Qiu Hong and also belongs to the same four clans."
This answer surprised Zhang Qing and also made him realize it. No wonder these two monks were so stubborn.
But it was obviously not that serious. Zhang Qing excused him with a random excuse. The two of them did not stop him and let Zhang Qing go in.
After passing a muddy space, Zhang Qing's eyes became clear.
Above the head is the majestic sea of clouds, under the feet is the ground paved with white jade, and the prosperity of Juncheng ahead comes into view.
"There are so many mortals living here."
As he spoke, Zhang Qing pointed to a child not far away who was looking over here, "Take me to the Zhang family's place."
The latter walked out with an expression of ecstasy, while the others also had expressions of annoyance after reacting.
Behind him, a monk suddenly appeared behind Zhang Qing. When he saw him standing in front of him, he was about to scold him. The moment he saw the crimson robe, all his words were choked in his throat and he stood stiffly. .
"What are you doing here? Why don't you leave quickly?"
There was a sound of angry curses, and the face of the monk who was standing there changed, and he started to curse with the people behind him.
When he looked back, Zhang Qing had disappeared.
Some of the surrounding children also quickly selected their targets and ran towards the casual cultivators.
"The most prosperous place in Juncheng, where all the immortal masters gather, is the center of the city. The middle area belongs to the Jinlan Sect, and the four surrounding streets belong to the four major immortal cultivating families."
While speaking, the child glanced at Zhang Qing who was standing aside, and then pointed at the broad red street in the south.
"The Zhang family is over there, but I don't know which family Senior Immortal Master wants to find."
"Okay, let's go." He threw a spirit stone casually, and Zhang Qing walked towards the street that clearly had the style of the Zhang family.
Soon after, Zhang Qing met the foundation-building elders of the Zhang family in Juncheng in the tallest Tianhuo Tower and explained his purpose.
"Recruiting casual cultivators? It's not easy in Juncheng." Zhang Hua, a late-stage foundation-builder, frowned, "Why would Wu Gong let you come to Juncheng to find someone?"
Hearing this, Zhang Qing couldn't help but ask: "Is this kind of thing difficult?"
Zhang Hua nodded, "It's difficult in Juncheng. If the people here are children and have not yet drawn their Qi, they can be chosen by one of the four clans. As for casual cultivators, they are different from other cities."
"Other casual cultivators in Yunmengze usually attract casual cultivators based on their regions, but Juncheng is different. All the casual cultivators who come here have their own purposes, and this place belongs to the edge of Yunmengze. Most of the monks have the idea of leaving Yunmengze."
"So it's not easy to recruit monks here."
"I see."
Zhang Qing was not in a hurry, but settled here. He needed some time to understand Junchengfang City before taking action.
