After Patriarch Liang passed away, Lu Hongniang left Black Mountain on the same day. The fifth-level Iron-backed Cang Yuan was eyeing her, and Guiyuan Mountain could not leave her, a golden elixir cultivator, for a long time.
Three days later, Kang Duhe came to Heishan after a long journey, only to find that his most respected master had passed away after running out of life.
Although he had expected it for so many years, this heavy blow still left Kang Duhe breathless.
In a state of confusion, he followed the trend and attended his master's funeral. In a state of confusion, he followed Wei Boxan back to Qingxuan Sect.
He had three fourth-level magic weapons on his body, and his own cultivation had not broken through the Zifu. It was not safe to live alone in Qingliang Mountain. In the end, he followed the advice of his senior brother and returned to the safer Qingyang Mountain to practice under the protection of Wei Bohan.
.
As soon as Patriarch Liang left, Zhang Zhixuan was already the new owner of Black Mountain. When Wei Bohan left, Zhang Zhixuan personally came down the mountain to see him off.
"Junior Brother Zhang, after returning to the sect this time, I have prepared to become an elder of the sect and fully integrate into the sect. Black Mountain is Master's lifelong effort. I hope you can develop Black Mountain and prevent this spiritual mountain from falling into the mouth of monsters again.
.”
Zhang Zhixuan said confidently: "Senior Brother Liang, don't worry, as long as I am here, Black Mountain will be as stable as Mount Tai. Senior Brother Liang must be more careful along the way, especially Senior Brother Kang. After arriving at Qingyang Mountain, he will retreat with peace of mind. Don't leave the mountain gate without breaking through the Zifu."
.”
After the death of Patriarch Liang, this place had lost its special meaning in Wei Bohan's heart. He knew clearly that even if the Black Mountain Spiritual Veins were given to him, his brothers would not be able to keep it.
Wei Boxan nodded silently, exchanged words of respect with Zhang Zhixuan, and left Montenegro without a trace of nostalgia.
After seeing off Brother Wei Bohan, Luo Ziyan also left Black Mountain with her disciple Liang Yuxian and returned to Qingxuan Sect.
As for the four remaining disciples of Patriarch Liang, Liang Hanyang and other family descendants, they are not planning to move to Qingxuan Sect, but are still practicing on Black Mountain.
After the funeral, Zhang Zhixuan, in accordance with Patriarch Liang's last wish, used Samadhi True Fire to refine his bones and buried him on the top of Black Mountain.
Patriarch Liang is already a top monk in the Purple Mansion, and his physical body has been cultivated to be very strong. If the bones are stolen by the demonic monks, he can immediately refine a powerful corpse.
Even if Zhang Zhixuan used Samadhi True Fire, it still took half an hour to incinerate Patriarch Liang's bones and eliminate this hidden danger.
After burying Patriarch Liang, Zhang Zhixuan immediately transferred more than thirty monks from the Zhang family to Black Mountain, along with the old patriarch Zhang Leqian.
Liang Patriarch's longevity was exhausted, which made Zhang Leqian feel like a rabbit has died and a fox is sad. He is now 221 years old. In his early years, his vitality and image were severely damaged. If Zhang Zhixuan hadn't found the thousand-year-old spiritual milk to replenish it for him,
I am afraid that part of the loss will be passed away before Patriarch Liang.
After arriving in Montenegro, Zhang Leqian paid homage to Patriarch Liang's grave and said with emotion: "I also practiced in Montenegro in my early years and was protected by Patriarch Liang. I never expected that such a powerful monk could still not survive the passage of time.
, still turned into a handful of loess."
Zhang Zhixuan felt that his third uncle was in a heavy mood and silently followed him back to the top of the mountain.
The cave of Patriarch Liang on the top of the mountain has changed its owner. Zhang Zhixuan and Qing Chan handed over the belongings of Patriarch Liang to Liang Hanyang a few days ago, then arranged new furniture and moved it to the peak of Black Mountain, where the spiritual energy is most abundant.
Zhang Zhixuan still has more than 300 years of life left, so he does not understand the mood of a monk like Zhang Leqian whose life span is about to be exhausted.
After he took over Montenegro, he has been very busy recently and started to count the properties in Montenegro and the costs that need to be invested.
Heishan has been operating for nearly four hundred years, and more than 600 acres of Lingtian have been cultivated, which is almost equal to the total of the Zhang, Wu, and Liu families.
However, most of these spiritual fields are scattered in rented caves, and less than half of them can be cultivated by Zhang Zhixuan, about 280 acres.
Although the grade of the two hundred and eighty acres of spiritual land is not high, it can still produce 40,000 kilograms of spiritual rice every year. According to the price of grain in Montenegro, it can earn a profit of about 3,000 spiritual stones every year.
There are also 13 acres of elixir garden on Black Mountain. The level of the spiritual fields in the elixir garden has reached the third level. There is no additional investment cost for planting third-level elixirs. However, due to the locust chaos in East Antarctic, the elixir garden has been planted for many years. The elixir has long since been swept away.
Although the elixir garden is now full of spiritual herbs, it is a pity that the elixirs are only more than thirty years old. The third-level elixirs are often a hundred years old. These elixirs can only be regarded as seedlings, and they still need many years of investment before they mature.
Although the elixir garden is of great value, it cannot bring any profit to Zhang Zhixuan in a short period of time.
There are nine third-level spiritual veins around Heishan. The owners of these third-level spiritual veins have moved to Jiangkou, Jiangnan and other counties. The spiritual veins have become an ownerless land and were taken back by Zhang Zhixuan. It is planned to reward the meritorious people after the Black Mountain regains its momentum.
Among these spiritual veins, the one with the best quality is Hanjiaotan. A large number of Xuanyou grasses are planted in Hanjiaotan. Thirty of them mature every year. They are refined into Youhuandan and can be brought to Heishan every year. The profit from one thousand two hundred spirit stones.
Hanjiaotan Spiritual Meridian has always been controlled by Yu Jinglong, the fifth disciple of Patriarch Liang. Yu Jinglong is regarded as the leading art master and joined Patriarch Liang's sect as a casual cultivator. Although he ranks fifth, he is older than Kang Duhe. In his thirties, he is now one hundred and sixty-three years old, and his cultivation has reached the eighth level.
Naturally, Zhang Zhixuan would not give up such a large sum of money to Yu Jinglong. After the Liang Patriarch passed away, Zhang Zhixuan discussed with his disciples and made them guest ministers of Heishan. They could receive three hundred good deeds every year. The spiritual fields are also completely left to them to cultivate, but all the Black Mountain resources they occupy must be returned to the public.
Without the income from transporting spiritual rice in the Southern Wilderness, the White Jade Beehive has also withered. The Zhang family's annual income has been reduced by four hundred spiritual stones. The profit over the year is not enough to consume the two Zifu monks Zhang Zhixuan and Qingchan.
Fortunately, with the Black Mountain Spiritual Vein, Zhang Zhixuan and his two brothers do not need to refine spiritual stones to replenish their mana, which can alleviate a considerable burden on their family.
In addition, the most important income in Montenegro is the rent from the market. Because the number of monks in Montenegro has dropped significantly, the rent from the market has dropped by half.
According to the current market situation, the annual rent for more than 100 shops is only 6,000 spirit stones. Half of this financial resource must be allocated to the Liang family to support the cultivation of the Liang ancestors.
In addition, there are more than 2,000 monks on the Black Mountain who have rented more than 1,300 caves in total. Although most of them are low-level caves with one spiritual stone per year. However, by renting out the caves for a year, the Black Mountain can also collect The rent is two thousand four hundred spiritual stones.
Coupled with some miscellaneous income, Zhang Zhixuan roughly calculated that the Black Mountain can bring him tens of thousands of spiritual stones in one year.
However, the cost of operating this spiritual mountain is very high. In order to maintain the fifth-level formation, 6,600 spiritual stones are consumed every year.
In addition, 1,200 spiritual stones must be offered to the four disciples of Patriarch Liang every year. Hundreds of monks are needed to cultivate spiritual fields, guard the market, run shops, and take care of the spiritual medicine garden. Their annual good deeds also cost about
Three thousand spirit stones.
Calculated in this way, the huge Black Mountain Spirit Vein brings only about a thousand spirit stones to the Zhang family every year. However, practicing in Black Mountain, the two of them can save thousands of spirit stones in a year. In the long run, this
It is also a huge resource.
If Montenegro becomes more and more prosperous, the rents of shops in Fangshi will rise, and the benefits obtained by the Zhang family will be greatly improved.
