It was already afternoon when I got home. Zhang Yan sat under a newly planted fruit tree in the backyard, shaking his fan. The sparse leaves of the newly planted fruit trees can't provide shade yet, but Zhang Yan stubbornly moved a rocking chair under the tree. Recently, he always likes to lie down on it and hang out for a long time.
It's not that Zhang Yan is really dawdling, but lying half-lying in the yard and looking at the white clouds or the scorching sun shining through the shade of the trees always makes him feel like he is staring at the world. It seems that at this time, it is always more rewarding to turn around the "principles" engraved in the mind that are addictive.
But it's different from the past. After returning from Zhou Cang today, what was on Zhang Yan's mind was not "reason", but "situation". his own situation.
It stands to reason that Zhang Yan is now a great monk who has entered the realm of returning to the gods and achieved Yuanshen. Various means, not to mention being unscrupulous, are enough to protect oneself without worries. You can just ignore a lot of troubles and go your own way.
But in fact it is not that simple.
Zhou Cang also gave a kind reminder during lunch, but there were many things that Zhou Cang didn't know at all. Therefore, the same news will have completely different meanings in Zhang Yan's ears.
According to Zhou Cang's wishes. Princess Qingling surpassed a small level in the battle in Yuanding Imperial City and defeated Princess Baowen who came to Huayue Kingdom. A high-level summary of this incident to Zhang Yan is: Mr. Zhang, you have truly become famous this time!
I thought that Zhang Yan would become famous in Nanyuan only after the news of the Bone Strengthening Pill was leaked, but now a competition helped Zhang Yan become famous in advance.
What followed was the peeking and testing from various forces. Zhou Cang was born into a noble family. Although he was not considered a big power, he was very aware of the temperament of noble families and big powers. If you can win over, win over, and if you can't win over, don't let the other party join forces that you can't deal with. It’s not unusual to even take action to destroy it.
This can be seen from the anxious letters from those "faxiao" in Zhoucang in Yuanding Imperial City who have not been in contact for more than ten or twenty years.
So Zhou Cang brought it up to remind Zhang Yan to make plans early.
His status as a miscellaneous scholar, coupled with his status as a guest teacher at the Shangwu Academy, can indeed suppress most of the forces. But definitely not all. And some shady people may not take the right path. These are all things that Zhang Yanyou needs to be mentally prepared for.
Zhang Yan clearly understood a force that was repeatedly hinted at but not explicitly stated in Zhou Cang's words: the royal family. Otherwise, he might be really afraid before entering the realm of returning to the gods. Now, it's actually not bad.
There are actually other forces that Zhou Cang doesn't know about. For example, Nanyuan Special Eucalyptus Company represented by Shen Wujiu, who has already sent a greeting card and expressed goodwill. There were also some monsters who thought Zhang Yan would go to ask for help and embarrassed themselves a little by waiting. It is estimated that these forces will not stand still this time, and there should be further active contact.
Ranwen
Plus the aristocratic family, royal family, and army on the surface.
Zhang Yan felt as if he had been thrown into a whirlpool, and all the disturbances seemed to be testing his endurance.
I'm not afraid of it, but I won't let Zhang Yan choose the solution of defeating ten levels at once. Because the practice environment he now operates is already very good, with support and cover in every aspect, allowing him to save a lot of trouble.
But we can no longer blindly avoid and hide from the front. Appropriately reveal some means to deter insidiousness and show one's confidence. At the same time, it also allows the life he is currently running to continue to follow the path he planned.
After thinking about these things, Zhang Yan realized that what he thought was a dazed god was actually the time when the sky was filled with sunset. The family was somewhat used to his inexplicable distraction, so they didn't bother him. Wang Lanping left some food for him and asked him to warm it up and eat it before going to bed.
But what Wang Lanping didn't know was that her second son seldom slept now. With one soul, daily fatigue, whether physical or mental, can be soothed by spiritual energy. Let alone one or two days, Zhang Yan would not feel sleepy if he did not sleep for a month.
Not only sleeping, but also eating is not something Zhang Yan has to do now. Even though he didn't finish any meal, he even ate vigorously. But in fact, these are just the rules of three meals a day that he is accustomed to. I didn't even think about changing it.
The so-called bigu can actually be done when you are in the Tao Dan realm. But at that time, I couldn't eat or drink at all, I had to rely on Bigu Pill to help. But after reaching the realm of returning to the gods, after the sublimation of life, relying on food to obtain energy is no longer the only way. Reiki can intervene in the life after returning to the divine realm at a deeper level, replacing almost all the needs for survival.
The higher you go from the state of Guishen, the deeper your dependence on spiritual energy will be. Otherwise, how could a great change in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth directly end the legendary era of the earth?
Zhang Yan was not idle in the next few days. Apart from going to the Jiangwu Academy to give Zhou Yun a medicinal bath regardless of rain or shine, he also wandered around the market.
Not only the medicinal materials for Peiyuan Dan were gathered together, but the formal training began. The aspect of magical instruments has also entered a phased attempt.
Pei Yuan Dan is okay. Zhang Yan used the Wanxiang Pearl to exchange for a better alchemy furnace that would suit his current cultivation level and increase the amount of elixirs produced and the probability of achieving elixirs. It is impossible to directly form the elixir at the beginning, and it will fail. Once the elixir is mature, it will naturally become a matter of course. This is the mentality tempered after refining the Biqing Dan.
It was Zhang Yan's first attempt at refining weapons.
I didn’t dare to try any graded magic weapon. After all, Zhang Yan is still a layman even with the magic circle, and he cannot refine a high-level magic weapon even if he wants to.
So Zhang Yan was refining the simplest magic weapon. That is to say, it is a magic weapon that has the properties of a magic weapon, but does not have the ability to operate magic spells.
Quench the materials, shape them, add auxiliary materials and start refining...
By the time Zhang Yan's family began to receive some exquisite invitations one after another, it was already half a month later.
In an alley behind Jiangwuyuan, a small independent shop without even a signboard quietly opened. It was the magic weapon shop that Zhang Yan planned for himself. He is the waiter, shopkeeper, and owner of the shop all by himself.
There isn't even a counter in the store. There was a lounge chair, Zhang Yan’s. And a display cabinet. There are currently three items on the display cabinet. A short sword and two daggers.
These three items are the magic weapons that Zhang Yan did not refine. The unworthy kind. There is no magic circle on it, it does not channel spiritual energy, and it has no inherent power. There is only one reason why they are called magic weapons: they are tough enough and sharp enough.
Moreover, Zhang Yan buried some "channels" that can pass through the energy in these three short weapons, and even tried it with Zhou Yun. As he thought, these "channels" can also pass through the warrior's vitality, so as to increase them. Useful in the hands of warriors.
