But Zhang Jiaming had four Foundation Establishment cultivators on the surface, and the only ones who could get it were Zhang Huaiyu and Zhang Tongan. The Great Elder is already too old, and he didn't make a move in the early days because his body didn't allow it. Even if Zhang Shiping made a move, it would be just the three members of the Zhang family against the two members of the Chen family. As for the guest ministers of the two families, it would be too expensive to let them participate in the battle for survival. After thinking about it, the advantage of the Zhang family is very small, and the two sides Still at about the same level.
If the Zhang family wants to occupy the Chen family's second-level spirit mountain and clan land, they need to think long-term. Otherwise, if the two foundation-builder monks of the Chen family escape, even killing all the Qi-training monks of the Chen family will not help.
Once the Foundation Establishment cultivator lowered his face, he would attack the Zhang family's qi training cultivator from time to time. The result of waiting for the Zhang family is likely to be a lose-lose situation for both sides. It will be in vain to benefit the nearby families who are watching the theater. At that time, the Zhang and Chen families may be swallowed up by other families.
A fragile balance is constantly maintained among the many small families on Baimang Mountain.
After discussing the old-fashioned issue of the Chen family, Patriarch Zhang talked about the disciples of the new generation of the Zhang family. There are a few with good qualifications, and the family is trying their best to cultivate them, but some of them are lacking in character. They have accepted the test of the family and are living in the world. It has been more than half a year to sharpen and polish my temper.
Zhang Shiping was also very happy to hear that there were successors in the family. He took out a storage bag from his pocket and handed it to the patriarch Zhang Huaiyu, "These are some low-level spiritual herbs, just for the younger generations in the clan."
Zhang Huaiyu took the blue-colored storage bag. At first he thought that there were not many things in it, but when he swept his consciousness, the spiritual grass and medicine inside took up more than half of the storage bag, and his face instantly became solemn. stand up.
Most of these were obtained from Huang Qifa, and some belonged to Zhang Shiping himself, so he simply took them out and handed them to the patriarch.
Zhang Huaiyu handed the storage bag to the elder Zhang Qiyue, and asked him to take a look too. After the elder had finished reading it, Zhang Huaiyu took back the storage bag, took out all the spiritual herbs and medicines in it, and received it in his own storage Inside the bag, this is where the Zhang family specially stores spiritual grasses and elixir. If Zhang Huaiyu wants to go out, he will put these important family materials that store spirit stones and spiritual materials with the elders of the Zhang family, or put them in the cave formation, and he will never take them carelessly.
Then Zhang Huaiyu quickly took out more than a thousand spirit stones from another storage bag, put them into the blue storage bag, and returned them to Zhang Shiping.
Zhang Shiping didn't take it over, but instead asked suspiciously, "Patriarch, what do you mean by that?"
Zhang Tong'an didn't say a word, it's better for the elders to come forward for this kind of matter. In their feeling, Zhang Shiping was worried that he would be separated from his family, and they had to help Zhang Shiping get rid of this worry.
The great elder stood up leaning on his stick, took out the storage bag from the patriarch's hand, walked to Zhang Shiping, put it in Zhang Shiping's hand, "Shiping, take it."
Seeing Zhang Shiping looking at him, the Great Elder stretched out his hand and took his old futon, and sat down slowly beside Zhang Shiping, Zhang Shiping hurriedly supported the Great Elder.
"Shiping, we all know your intentions." After the elder sat down, he put down his rod and said kindly to Zhang Shiping, "But you also need to practice. These spiritual materials are worth at least a thousand spiritual stones. They are used by the family." The lowest price is a big advantage for you."
"Great elder, don't worry about it." Zhang Shiping handed the storage bag to the elder, but the elder didn't take it.
The Great Elder shook his head, "The family only recorded the contribution points for the dozens of artifacts you brought back to the family, which is already taking too much advantage of you. This time you brought back so many spiritual materials, The family can no longer accept it with peace of mind."
The great elder Zhang Qiyue knew that Zhang Shiping was in the Gu Nian clan, but this was not the reason why they could feel at ease. The contribution points in Zhang Shiping's hands, these few foundation-building monks have, and there are quite a few, but they hardly realize it. More resources in the family will be used to train new monks of the Zhang family.
It's not that the three foundation-building cultivators don't want to cultivate, but they understand themselves, their aptitude is there, and the ceiling is only that high. For things in the world, no matter how hard they work, they will definitely gain something.
Maybe there is, but the price/performance ratio is too low. With most of the resources in the clan, let them, the foundation-building monks, improve for a short period of time in the foundation-building realm, but is it useful?
For the family, the shortage of resources will definitely affect the cultivation of the younger generation and the normal cycle of the family. As long as they can't break through the golden core and have no qualitative change, it's almost useless.
But Zhang Shiping is different from the three of them. The Zhang family only trained Zhang Shiping to the fourth level of Qi training. Now he builds the foundation and has little relationship with the Zhang family. He has hardly used the resources of the Zhang family and relies more on Jiaozuozong. , relying on himself, naturally he doesn't have to bear the family responsibility of Zhang Qiyue and the three of Zhang's family who established the foundation.
"Shiping, you have to know that if you can become a Golden Core cultivator, this is the greatest help to the family. The family can't help you too much on your path of cultivation, but with the three of us here, there is no need for the family's affairs. If you worry about it, it won't hold you back. You can practice with peace of mind, and just come back to the clan to have a look when you have time." The elder said earnestly.
The patriarch of the great elder and Zhang Tong'an, the three foundation-builders of the Zhang family, also discussed it after Zhang Shiping brought back dozens of magical artifacts to the clan. They are all in favor of accepting these dozens of magical artifacts, and they also have their own plans.
On the one hand, these magic tools are used as family task rewards, so that the monks in the clan are more motivated to practice and strengthen the strength of the family. For Zhang Shiping's family, to accumulate reputation in the family.
But doing this kind of thing once is enough to show your intentions. Although most of the dozens of first-level magical artifacts are first-level middle-grade, for a new foundation-building monk, that is a lot of spiritual power. stone. For a first-tier medium-grade magic weapon, each piece ranges from dozens to hundreds of spirit stones. Dozens of pieces add up to thousands of spirit stones. This gift is very heavy!
The head of the Zhang family didn't want to **** blood from Zhang Shiping like a leech. The Zhang family even hopes that there will be a Golden Core cultivator in the family This is the foundation of the Zhang family.
And if things go on like this, the members of the Zhang family will rely too much on the foundation-building monks in the clan. Some people may say that Zhang Shiping has given so much to the clan and Qi-training monks, while the other three foundation-building monks in the family What about monks?
Why didn't the other three foundation-building cultivators do this? Sheng Mi's kindness fights against Mi's hatred. Once the family's hearts fluctuate, selfishness, and fall into a vicious circle, decline is just around the corner.
In addition, the elders of the Zhang family are approaching their deadlines, and Zhang Huaiyu, the head of the Zhang family, has almost stabilized his strength.
The reason why Zhang Huaiyu has not given up the position of head of the Zhang family is to let Zhang Tongan practice with peace of mind. Maybe Zhang Tong'an can go a little farther on the road of cultivation, but from the distance of forming alchemy, to be honest, there is really no hope.
So the Zhang family pinned most of their expectations on Zhang Shiping. A young foundation-builder monk finally appeared in the family. As long as he didn't fall halfway, he might have a chance to form an alchemy. Many of the foundation-building families in Baimang Mountain became Jindan families in this way. This kind of luck finally came to their Zhang family. How could they only care about the short-term interests and disregard the long-term.
The Great Elder slowly explained the matter layer by layer, so that Zhang Shiping can rest assured that he doesn't need to care too much. The higher his cultivation level, the more he can help the family.
The family has never been used to restrain monks, it is a piece of gentle soil. The relationship between them has never been maintained by exploitation and squeeze. The foundation of the family is the affection between the clansmen.
