Chapter 72: Meeting Master Lingxi, the Broken Moyun Shuttle

Zhang Wei didn't have to wait long before he received a message from Xue Gang that Master Lingxi agreed to meet him.

However, Master Lingxi would not come to Linglongfang in person to see him, a mere cultivator in the early stage of foundation building, so he needed to take Master Lingxi's token and go to the Linglong Sect's mountain gate in person.

Looking at the towering Linglong Sect gate and holding the token in his hand, Zhang Wei suddenly felt like a small boss giving a gift to a big boss to ask for a favor.

Ah, reality will really hit me in the face when I least expect it.

Arriving at the mountain gate and facing the floating clouds, Zhang Wei simply raised the token upwards, and the clouds covering the mountain gate dispersed, revealing a staircase with each step being dozens of feet long.

The material of this staircase is not simple. It is made of a second-level spiritual material called Zhenhai Stone. It can be said that the second-level Xuanling Stone that Zhang Wei's hometown treasured as a treasure has become a local brick after being given to Linglong Sect.

After walking up the stairs about dozens of feet high, Zhang Wei reached the top. Walking through the huge mountain gate of Linglong Sect that was a hundred feet high, what Zhang Wei saw was a huge plain that looked like a fairyland.

If you look at it this way, you will find that Linglong Sect is like a protruding island.

This is because the entire Linglong Island is actually artificially elevated.

Ten thousand years ago, when Linglong Sect was founded, the sect's founder, a Yuanying Zhenjun, worked together with several elders to set up a large formation, and forcibly raised Linglong Island by dozens of feet.

Therefore, the territory of a hundred miles around, including Linglong Market, was actually all submerged in the sea ten thousand years ago!
"With such great power, I don't know when I can achieve it."

Looking back at the changes that had taken place over the hundred miles, Zhang Wei sighed in his heart.

Linglong Island is very large, and it would take a lifetime for ordinary people and most Qi-refining cultivators to explore it all. This also leads to the fact that many native Linglong Sect disciples do not know the specific situation of their own sect until they die.

Sometimes, there would be a joke where their superiors gave them orders to go to certain places in the sect to do things, but in the end they didn't even know how to get there.

But for Zhang Wei, who is at the foundation-building stage, this is nothing.

Under the guidance of the token, Zhang Wei didn't even need to take the flying boat inside Linglong Sect. He flew for half an hour and arrived in front of a beautiful mountain.

The mountain is several thousand feet high, and on it are pavilions and towers built with high-level spiritual wood. There are also auspicious clouds floating in the air, and cranes and spiritual beasts strolling among them, making it look like a blessed land for immortals.

And most importantly, the concentration of spiritual energy here is very high! It is even higher than Zhang Wei's undeveloped Hidden Dragon Cave!
"Huh... When will my Zhang family be able to have such a magnificent atmosphere?" Zhang Wei sighed.

At this moment, a female disciple wearing exquisite robes came riding a crane and said to him, "Excuse me, is this Senior Zhang Xiaofan in person?"

"Exactly."

Zhang Wei handed the token to the female disciple, but couldn't help but look at her twice more, feeling that the female disciple in front of him looked familiar.

The female disciple checked it and confirmed that it was correct, then said, "My master has been waiting for a long time. Please follow me."

On the way, the female disciple asked, "Senior Zhang, have you ever been to my Linglong Sect before?"

Zhang Wei said frankly: "I have been here, but unfortunately I did not become a disciple of your sect."

"what?"

The female disciple was a little surprised. She never expected that a dignified Foundation Establishment cultivator had been rejected by the sect before. This was a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

But on second thought, if Senior Zhang really stayed in Linglong Sect, he might not be able to become the foundation-building cultivator they looked up to.

After all, even in the Linglong Sect, not everyone has the spiritual essence of heaven and earth needed to build the foundation.

"That's a pity..."

The female disciple said with regret, then looked at Zhang Wei's face and seemed to have thought of something, and asked: "By the way, Senior Zhang, do you know a person named Zhang Wei?"

Zhang Wei asked with a smile: "What's wrong with this person?"

The female disciple said, “Ten years ago, he and I were both part of the same batch of immortal seedlings who joined the sect. Unfortunately, he had no spiritual roots and was sent back. I felt that there was some affinity between you and him, so I wanted to ask him if he was from your clan.

But I don't think so. If he had an elder like Senior Zhang, he wouldn't have realized that he had no spiritual roots until he reached the mountain gate."

The female disciple smiled slightly and turned the page on the matter, which left Zhang Wei behind her silent for a while.

No wonder she looked familiar. We met each other once before. But it seems that this girl is doing well in Linglong Sect.

After all, the job of guiding people to build their foundation is not something that anyone can do!
"I don't know what happened to those disciples who came to Linglong Sect with me." Zhang Wei thought to himself.

Soon, under the guidance of the female disciple, Zhang Wei came to the door of a yellowish-brown hall. The female disciple pointed at the door and said, "This is it. Master is waiting in the hall..."

"Thank you."

"I wish you all the best, Senior Zhang."

After saying goodbye to the female disciple, Zhang Wei turned to look at the door, took a deep breath, and gently pushed the door open.

Buzz~
There was a heavy sound of a door opening, and then the scene in front of him changed instantly. The original hall had disappeared, and in its place was a vast desert!

It was hot and the endless yellow sand almost buried Zhang Wei!

But Zhang Wei bit his tongue hard, and as his spiritual consciousness burst out, he stretched out his hand and slapped himself hard on the forehead!

Snapped!
The air exploded instantly, and Zhang Wei's forehead turned red from his own slap, but he recovered from the yellow sand illusion.

The scene in front of him collapsed in an instant. The original scorching desert had disappeared, and in its place was the interior of a yellow palace filled with a heavy atmosphere.

At the end of the hall, a middle-aged man with an honest face was looking at Zhang Wei standing at the door with surprise.

There was a yellow light flashing in his eyes, and if you looked closely, you would find that what was reflected in his eyes was the scorching desert from before!
This is the Purple Mansion Divine Thought, which can pull people into the scene constructed by the True Picture of the Great Dao that they had originally visualized with just one thought!

The person in front of him was none other than the mid-stage Purple Mansion cultivator, the third-rank top-grade formation master, Master Lingxi!

Zhang Wei walked into the hall calmly and bowed to Master Lingxi at the end of the hall: "Junior Zhang Xiaofan, greetings to Master Lingxi!"

Master Lingxi did not continue to lose his composure. His expression returned to normal and he spoke calmly.

"sit down."

After saying that, he waved his hand lightly, and a yellowish-brown light appeared on the ground in front of Zhang Wei, and then a stone chair appeared in front of him.

"Thank you, Master."

Zhang Wei thanked him and sat down calmly. Then he heard Master Lingxi ask leisurely, "Not really. I am very busy. The one sitting in front of you is just an incarnation of my mind."

"Eh?"

Zhang Wei was stunned and thought to himself, no wonder Master Lingxi responded so quickly.

The dignified Master Zifu, who was just at the foundation-building stage, had just asked to see someone, and he got a reply right away. An hour later, he even got the token.

It turns out to be the incarnation of divine thoughts...

The so-called incarnation of divine consciousness is a unique method of the Purple Mansion Realm. By separating a strand of one's divine consciousness and combining it with a part of one's own origin, an external incarnation is separated out.

The incarnation possesses the same thinking as the original body and can be used to handle chores for the original body.

Otherwise, how could a dignified Master of Purple Mansion manage such a large sect after practicing in seclusion for several months, or even several years or even dozens of years?
However, the incarnation of divine consciousness is only an incarnation after all, and its strength is certainly not as strong as the original body. But even so, its strength is comparable to that of the late stage of foundation building.

Coupled with the power of divine consciousness, the incarnation can almost overwhelm ordinary cultivators in the late stage of foundation building, which is enough to deal with most situations.

After a brief greeting, Master Lingxi said, "You bought a lot of things outside, with a wide variety of styles and large quantities. I think you are preparing to start a family.

But he didn't ask about setting up the formation. Is it because there is no spiritual vein as the foundation of the family, or has a spiritual vein been found?"

Master Lingxi did not ask about Zhang Wei's background because there was no need to.

They just take the money and do the job. They don't need to ask who the client is, nor are they too lazy to ask.

Everyone has some secrets. If you try to dig into everyone's secrets, your business will be in trouble.

Zhang Wei paused, then said: "The spiritual vein has been found, so I would like to ask the master to help me refine the formation array for my Zhang family!"

"Array plate... that thing is not cheap."

A gleam of light flashed in Lingxi's eyes, and he said, "If you want to protect the family, then the range of the array should be at least ten miles in radius.

So many complicated array patterns are now all shrunk into a small array plate, and then they need to be shrunk and released freely. This kind of array plate is more difficult to refine than the array plates of the same level."

Master Lingxi’s words were very difficult to say, but in the end there were only three words.

Need more money!
So Zhang Wei did not panic, but bowed and said: "I know how difficult this is, but the establishment of the family is of great importance, so please have mercy on me, Master!"

As he spoke, Zhang Wei handed a jade slip to Master Lingxi.

Master Lingxi raised his eyebrows, reached out to take it, and injected his spiritual power into it, and then he was shocked again.

“Huh?! This is…”

Master Lingxi said in surprise: "A formation jade slip from a third-level formation master?"

That's right, the formation jade slip that Zhang Wei gave to Master Lingxi was the one he got from Master Luoxia's tomb! As the saying goes, you don't need to give expensive gifts, you just need to give the right gifts. The formation experience of a formation master of the same level as himself is still of great help to Master Lingxi.

Lingxi put the jade slip away and said with a smile: "There are quite a few good things. It seems that you are also a lucky person."

"Okay, I agree to your request. What kind of formation do you want and what grade?"

Zhang Wei immediately smiled and said, "The earth-based formation is the best, and the grade... the second grade is fine. Of course, I don't mind the third grade either."

Master Lingxi sneered upon hearing this and said, "Haha... you really dare to think that, a third-level magic array disk, you can't get it out even if you break an old man like me into pieces!
However, I do have a combination of magic arrays that are all second-level, top-grade arrays.

The Yellow Earth Sky Supporting Formation and the Stone Dragon Sky Breaking Formation, one for attack and one for defense, when combined, their power is no less than that of a third-grade primary formation. Would you like to consider it?"

Zhang Wei's eyes lit up when he heard this. Although it was not a third-level magic array, it was not impossible according to what Master Lingxi said.

Then Master Lingxi said, "But the cost is..."

Master Lingxi stretched out his finger and said, "Two hundred thousand taels of gold, and every ten years you have to pay a hundred thousand taels of silver for the formation maintenance fee.

Don't feel that you are at a disadvantage. This is used to replace the lost spiritual materials inside. It's not a waste of your money."

What the hell?
Zhang Wei was confused.

Two hundred thousand taels of gold?

My total cash deposits now are only over 300,000 taels!
Zhang Wei thought that the price he charged for refining the magic weapon was high enough, but he didn't expect that compared with Master Lingxi, he was still a kind-hearted person!

You guys are really asking too much!

I accepted inheritance from two Purple Mansion masters, but all their cash and wealth added up are not enough to pay for your two cents!
Zhang Wei said with a bitter face: "Can I...pay in installments?"

Master Lingxi's smile immediately disappeared.

"It's a small business, so we don't sell on credit."

……

"What small business? Whose small business would cost two hundred thousand taels of gold? Compared with your business, mine is nothing. Is it just a child's play? Oh... my wallet..."

After leaving Master Lingxi's palace, Zhang Wei, holding his flattened mustard seed bag, looked like he wanted to cry but had no tears.

The formation plate is expensive, but what else can he do?
Don’t you still have to buy it?

Otherwise, wouldn't my gift be given in vain?
But after spending more than 200,000 taels of gold, Zhang Wei's small treasury was reduced to less than 100,000 taels, which made Zhang Wei feel very insecure.

But the only thing to be happy about is probably that the formation plate is in stock.

After Zhang Wei paid the money, Master Lingxi turned around and gave him the formation plate, and the money and goods were instantly worth two!

Wait...isn't the other party just waiting for a sucker like him to take over?
Just as Zhang Wei was sighing, the female disciple who had led him earlier came back riding on a crane.

"Senior Zhang!"

Zhang Wei stopped and asked, "What's wrong?"

The female disciple seemed to be in a hurry, and at this moment she was panting and said, "Master said that your family is just starting out, and you must need some spiritual beasts to open up the wasteland, so he asked me to take you to the Spiritual Beast Mountain to take a look. What do you think?"

Zhang Wei was shocked when he heard this and looked towards the Lingxi Hall, thinking, you are not going to let go of my last bit of money? !
You, the Linglong sect, belong to the Pixiu!

Zhang Wei was about to refuse when he heard the female disciple tempting him with an almost devilish voice, "According to the rules, you have spent 250,000 taels of gold in our Linglong Sect, so you are already considered a VIP of our Linglong Sect. Not only do you enjoy a 10% discount on your purchases, but we also give you a free baby spirit beast when you buy ten spirit beasts!"

Zhang Wei: "..."

Zhang Wei took a deep breath and then looked up at the sky deeply.

It seems that I can’t keep my money today.

"Please lead the way."

"Don't dare."

The female disciple quickly stepped aside. As a Qi Refining Stage cultivator, she didn't dare to accept a gift from a Foundation Establishment Stage master.

At this time, Zhang Wei suddenly remembered that he had been chatting with the girl for such a long time but had not asked her name, so he asked, "By the way, I still don't know your name."

"Senior, just call me Yi Ting."

As Yi Ting spoke, she rode on a crane and took Zhang Wei to the area of ​​Linglong Sect that was specially used to raise spiritual beasts.

Spirit beasts are actually also demon beasts, but they are demon beasts that have become psychic after being tamed and cultivated, and naturally they can also practice Taoism.

Their strength varies. The weak ones can only be considered half-demon beasts that have barely entered the Tao. They have low intelligence and usually end up being used as meat livestock. They are the main source of meat for spiritual meals in major restaurants.

The good ones can be used as pack animals for the children of major foundation-building families to use on long journeys.

The Cloud-Stepping Horse that Yang Ling used when he was looking for trouble with Luo Hongxia was of this type, and even the crane that Yi Ting was riding in front of him was of the same type.

However, the quality of the latter is obviously higher, comparable to a monster in the late stage of Qi Refining.

The strongest one is the Jindan-level Zhaoye Jade Lion that ran back from the depths of the East China Sea from the Linghu Fairy Palace.

Raising and selling spiritual beasts is the second widespread income-generating project for most foundation-building families, in addition to planting and selling spiritual plants.

However, due to size limitations, the scale of spirit beast breeding for most foundation-building families is basically at the village or town level.

Just sell it locally and digest it among your own people. If it’s farther away, the transportation cost alone will be a hassle.

As one of the five great sects, Linglong Island has a completely different scale of raising spiritual beasts. They have specially allocated millions of square kilometers of land for raising and cultivating various spiritual beasts.

There are almost all kinds of spiritual beasts, including those flying in the sky, running on the ground, and swimming in the water, and the number of various types has reached millions!
Among them, there are dozens of spiritual beasts suitable for raising in the earth-type spiritual vein of Canglong Mountain, which undoubtedly gives Zhang Wei a huge choice space.

Among them, Zhang Wei's favorite is a kind of spiritual beast called ox and horse. Generally, their cultivation level is not high, and they are only in the initial stage of Qi Refining.

But this half-demon cow with demon horse bloodline has inherited the advantages of both cows and horses, and is easy to serve, eating less and doing more.

When alive, he can plow the land and grind the mill for the family, and help transport goods. After death, he can contribute meat to the table. His blood, skin, bones, tendons, etc. can also be used to draw talismans, refine elixirs, and refine weapons. It can be said that his whole body is a treasure!
Zhang Wei wanted to buy twenty or thirty of them for the Zhang family to take back to open up new land.

After all, if the second-level spiritual vein at home is used well, it can be used to develop tens of thousands of acres of spiritual fields. It would be a waste not to use so much land to grow something.

Unfortunately, the Zhang family now has too few people. With more than two hundred people and twenty or so cultivators, they cannot manage it even if they open up tens of thousands of acres of spiritual fields.

So Zhang Wei only bought ten in the end, and gave a cub as a gift.

In addition, Zhang Wei also likes a spiritual bird called Kun Lingzhi, especially its middle-parted comb, which reminds Zhang Wei of an old friend.

Chickens are good. They can lay eggs and produce meat. The breeding cycle is short, and feed is not a problem for the Zhang family.

After all, the Zhang family still has the mealworm factory, which is a killer weapon. Before they controlled the production capacity, they could earn nearly ten thousand taels of spirit stones a year.

After the Zhang family was established, Zhang Wei felt that he needed to tell other colleagues in the feed production industry what dimensionality reduction strike meant.

My Zhang family is going to monopolize all the feed businesses in Yun Country, no, in the four countries under the Yunshang Sect!

Even in the future, I will make sure that all the spirit beasts in Linglong Sect eat mealworm powder from my Zhang family every day!
After finalizing the types and quantity of spiritual beasts, Zhang Wei politely declined Yi Ting's offer of door-to-door delivery service.

It is not appropriate to expose the Canglong Cave now, so Zhang Wei plans to buy a large flying boat and take it back with him when the time comes.

While Linglong Island was preparing the flying boat, Zhang Wei came to the market for independent cultivators.

Alas... I have no money left, so I can only look for it in the market of casual cultivators to see if I can find a bargain.

However, even as a market for independent cultivators, the scale of Linglongfang is ten times that of Chuyunfang, and the quality of goods is obviously richer.

Even in some hidden alleys, Zhang Wei saw some casual cultivators secretly selling some shady things.

It’s really a big city. It even has a black market?
However, just as Zhang Wei was trying to find a bargain, something sold by one of the vendors caught Zhang Wei's attention.

When he ran to the stall as if he didn't believe it, his eyes suddenly widened and he grabbed the cracked Moyun Shuttle in his hand!
Zhang Wei's behavior directly aroused strong dissatisfaction from the stall owner, a cultivator in the middle stage of Qi Refining. He immediately shouted, "Hey, hey, hey, what are you doing? Who told you to touch it? If you touched it, you have to buy it..."

Before he could finish his words, a big hand suddenly grabbed his neck and lifted him up.

"Cough cough..."

The cultivator next to him wanted to step forward and scold him, "Who are you? Do you know the rules of the casual cultivator market? Are you a country bumpkin from another place?"
Then they felt the foundation-building pressure within Zhang Wei's body.

Damn, building the foundation!
Sorry to bother you, bye!

Everyone immediately scattered like birds and beasts, hating their parents for not giving them two more legs.

"explain……"

Zhang Wei coldly stared at the casual cultivator whose face turned pale with fear, and asked, "Where did you get this Moyun Shuttle?"
