Chapter 49： next year

The gray-clothed cultivator fell to the ground, the golden dragon scissors pierced his heart and broke out from behind, and the gray robe was soaked in blood.

Zhang Shiping's index finger and **** of his right hand were put together, and he drank it. Luo Junjian released an inch-long cold sword energy, and once again stabbed the gray-clothed friar through. , groped on him, scraped the things away, burned the body to ashes, and left in a hurry.

Zhang Shiping, who was afraid of being attacked again on the road, did not dare to fly back directly. He found a remote place in the mountain to cultivate, endured the severe pain, and used his power to straighten the broken shoulder armor one by one.

The injury lasted a hundred days, but under the light of the bronze lamp, Zhang Shiping tightly wrapped the broken bone with mana, and continued to take healing medicine. Only then did he wash off the potion he had used to disguise himself, put on the black clothes of an outer disciple of Jiaozuo Sect, and flew back.

From meeting those two people to returning to Jiaozuozong, Zhang Shiping spent five days longer than before. Instead of returning directly to Biyuan Mountain, he landed on a rocky mountain with a drive and went to the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion. After that, Zhang Shiping came out thoughtfully.

After returning to Biyuan Mountain, Zhang Shiping took out a piece of jade slip that he got from Uncle Ma in the Sutra Pavilion. He didn't find what he wanted in the first four floors of the Sutra Pavilion. As in Changing Yuanshu, even the jade slips that record the tracking spells are incomplete copies. Zhang Shiping wondered if the sect deliberately put some fragments in the scripture storage pavilion to seduce urgently needed disciples like Zhang Shiping and copy the jade slips at a high price. .

In desperation, he had no choice but to go to Uncle Ma, who was in charge of the Sutra Pavilion, and told him that he wanted to find some books on tracking spells.

Under the teachable eyes of that Uncle Ma, Zhang Shiping took out 30 pieces of spiritual stones heartbrokenly, and got a jade slip from him that recorded dozens of books related to tracking spells, which was worth the money. .

Under the watchful eye of that Uncle Ma, Zhang Shiping left the scripture pavilion quickly, and he got goosebumps all over his back when he was watched by Uncle Ma. As soon as he left the Sutra Pavilion, Zhang Shiping immediately drove the flying magic weapon away.

In the courtyard quiet room of Biyuan Mountain Baicao Garden.

Zhang Shiping stuck the jade slip between his eyebrows, and after checking all the information recorded in it, Zhang Shiping pondered for a while, took out the storage bags of the monks in yellow and gray, entered mana into them, and put the contents of the two storage bags All poured out.

Emmanuel flickered, and a large pile of things piled on the floor.

Zhang Shiping took out several sets of black clothes and two tokens of outer disciples of Jiaozuo Sect from the pile of things. These two people should be disciples of Jiaozuo Sect just like Zhang Shiping. Looking through the contents, he knew that these two people were also Jiaozuo Sect disciples, and Zhang Shiping only killed one Jiaozuo Sect disciple named Senior Brother Cen who competed with him for Yangmai Ginseng in the secret realm.

Zhang Shiping wiped his storage bag, and dug out the rest of that senior brother Cen, a dozen bottles and cans, a short gray spear, and a long-shuttle flying magic weapon. As for the remaining things, Zhang Shiping either threw them away or sold them. Of course, the spirit stones he got from Senior Brother Cen had long been mixed with his.

Without even thinking about it, he also took out all the spirit stones in his storage bag. Zhang Shiping had already made up his mind, and he must figure it out today.

In the quiet room, there was a flash of spiritual light, and a large pile of spiritual stones were piled up in front of Zhang Shiping. Looking at the spiritual stones, Zhang Shiping's eyes were bright and his smile was pleasant.

While Zhang Shiping searched among the messy things of the two monks, he matched the information on the jade slips he had just seen.

After a while, Zhang Shiping took out a compass the size of a palm, which was the same as a magical instrument called the trace disc recorded on the jade slips, from the style to the rune patterns on it.

Zhang Shiping checked all the belongings of that senior brother Cen, and finally found a fragment no bigger than a fingernail in a crack of the long-shuttle flying magic weapon. Without looking carefully, Zhang Shiping thought it was the flying magic weapon itself. Zhang Shiping breathed a sigh of relief after finding the reason for the things he brought, and he would not capsize in the gutter like this next time.

…

After Zhang Shiping learned the reason, he prepared to practice honestly on Biyuan Mountain. After one or two years to perfect his mana, he immediately tried to build a foundation.

In this way, Zhang Shiping practiced when he was free, and he took care of the tea garden in the Baicao Garden when it was busy. However, Zhang Shiping never missed a sermon once a ten-day period.

In this way, the time flies, and before you know it, it will be the spring of the next year, and it will be time to pick tea leaves on Biyuan Mountain. Zhang Shiping is very satisfied with the tea leaves this time. There is still a full ten catties left here, which makes Zhang Shiping smile happily.

In the past one year, because of the refining of the Foundation Establishment Pill, another twelve monks of Jiaozuo Sect succeeded in establishing the foundation one after another, and most of them were monks who came out of the ancient cultivation secret realm.

There are many monks in Jiaozuo Sect who have cultivated to the ninth level of qi training, but because of the lack of foundation building pills, they dare not build foundations for a long time. They have always been careful when participating in the ancient secret realm. With the mentality of not seeking merit but seeking no fault, they participated once or twice, and went to the mountains to find some elixir of the previous year, and slowly gathered a foundation building. The elixir points needed for pills If it wasn’t stipulated by the Jiaozuo Zongmen that the elixir points must be exchanged for the Foundation Establishment Pill, and if they could be exchanged for the merit points of the sect, then most people would definitely not Enter the secret realm to fight with other monks. Instead, he accepted the mission of the sect honestly and spent seven, eight, or ten years in exchange for a foundation building pill.

In the main hall of the Jiaozuo Sect, Chang Younian took out a green jade document from the storage bag, looked at the new foundation-building monks of the sect recorded during this period of time, Zhang Shiping, Su Shuang and Chen Yuqi were his favorites. His name was not on the jade certificate, and he didn't know if he had failed in foundation building, or he hadn't started taking the foundation building pill yet, but Fu Haihai, who was about sixty years old, succeeded in building the foundation.

Recently, as more and more spirit stones were mined from the Bingling Stone Mine, Qiyunzong and Xuanhuomen became restless, and even some Jindan families began to make small moves.

Before the ancestor could say anything, Chang Younian was thinking about how to deal with this matter. He had already sent Xu Youdan, a Jindan monk, to go there secretly.

The three factions have been in the south of Baimang Mountain for thousands of years, and with the ancestors of Yuanying, no one can do anything to the other.

In Jiaozuo Sect, it is not worthy of the sect's grand ceremony for the disciples to advance to become foundation-building monks during the Qi training period, and it is celebrated in twos and threes among friends at most.

Zhang Shiping doesn't have friends from the sect who have successfully established the foundation, and he doesn't know that the head of the sect is thinking about the Bingling Stone Mine. Zhang Shiping has been in the quiet room in the courtyard of the Biyuan Mountain Baicao Garden a few days ago. Arrange all the formations that you can arrange.

Before that, he specifically ordered the five stewards of Biyuan Mountain to make decisions on his own during this period of time and not to disturb him.
