Chapter 39: Investing in Qianlong and having a secret friendship
The Cha family has reached a bottleneck.
This is something that all the senior leaders of the Cha family know.
Don’t look at it, the Cha family is now the number one family in East County. The ancestor of the Zifu is in charge of the family. Every foundation-building family in East County is headed by the Cha family. Cha Liangcai’s words can even influence the governor’s mansion. of government decrees.
But the Cha family has reached a bottleneck.
Because the upper limit of a Junwang family is Zifu.
The three major Jindan sects in Qingzhou do not allow another Jindan force in Qingzhou to compete with them for Qingzhou's resources.
Zha Liangcai understood very well that the aristocratic families in Dongjun could not be counted on, and the three major sects in Qingzhou would not sell the pill-forming resources to him.
They don’t have enough for themselves, so how can they use it to fund their enemies?
Zha Liangcai wanted to form an elixir, but he couldn't get over the hurdles of the three major sects.
Unless he can go to other states of Qi or Wei, Lu and other places to look for elixir-forming resources, and form elixirs in other places, he will only be trapped in the Purple Mansion in Qingzhou.
Once he attempts to form a pill in Qingzhou, the three major sects will definitely join forces to destroy the Cha family, and the foundation-building families in East County who are currently dependent on the Cha family will immediately turn their guns to carve up the Cha family. heritage.
This is why Zha Liangcai cooperated with the river god in the Taiping River. It was not that he was blinded by force, but that he had no choice.
Except for the river god who was willing to give him a promise to form a pill, he could not find anyone else in Qingzhou who could help him, not even a promise.
This is not only the dilemma faced by the Cha family, but also the dilemma faced by all the major Zifu families in Qingzhou.
Those who are ambitious are like the Xu family in Qingjun, who send their geniuses into the sect from an early age, and from then on they leave the family and return to the sect.
If by chance, the Zi Mansion or even the Pill Formation is opened in the future, the family will inevitably face a new development opportunity.
But the Xu family can do this because the Xu family already has a Zifu elder in Lanyue Sect, and he is the only Zifu elder in the Cha family!
Originally Zha Liangcai had no choice, but now Jiang Sheng's appearance has undoubtedly given Zha Liangcai another choice: he has to choose a backer to rely on, so why not rely on the strongest one?
The origin of the river god is unknown and he has deep thoughts. If he continues to cooperate with the river god, he will inevitably get burned.
But what if you invest in a true successor of Penglai in advance?
It is said that the true stories of Penglai's past generations are all those who built the foundation of heaven before the age of twenty, and created the top-grade golden elixir before the age of sixty.
Zha Liangcai still has more than two hundred years to live, and he can afford to wait for only a few decades.
Even if it is not for oneself, but for the future of the Cha family, with a true successor from Penglai as a backer, the development of the Cha family will inevitably be unlimited.
Zha Liangcai fell into deep thought. He needed to understand Jiang Sheng's ability and his character. He needed time to judge whether Jiang Sheng was worth investing in.
After thinking about it, Zha Liangcai said to Zha Liangping: "It will be the Lantern Festival in a few days. My second brother will send some gifts to Director Jiang then. We can't make people think that our Zha family has lost etiquette."< br>
Zha Liangping nodded: "Brother, don't worry, I understand."
After Zha Liangping left, Zha Liang continued to fish with his head lowered: "Golden elixir"
Cha Jiang Sheng didn't know what Jia was thinking, and he didn't care.
Jiang Sheng, who purchased a large amount of elixirs in Junchengfang City, went straight back to Qingping Mountain without making any further stops.
Qingping Mountain is surrounded by mountains, with rivers running through it, and it is the perfect Feng Shui for dragons lurking in the abyss.
Jiang Sheng does not need to consider external things, he only needs to concentrate on practicing in Qingping Mountain, and the Zi Mansion will come naturally.
Only by opening up the Zifu can one be qualified to speak on the territory of Dongjun and even Qingzhou.
After running around all night for three days, Jiang Sheng finally rushed back to Qingping Mountain.
"Master, you are back." Tian Ming'an looked very surprised to see Jiang Sheng back.
Jiang Sheng nodded tiredly: "Well, I'm not here for a few days, can anyone come to disturb me?"
Tian Ming'an said: "With your reputation, the Taoist temple is very quiet these days. Just listen. Grandpa said that the county magistrate has arrested many people in Qingshan County in the past few days, many of whom are gentry in the county. "
"The county magistrate said that they colluded with the demons and that's why the demons flooded Qingshan County. Their property will be confiscated and their heads will be beheaded in public."
Listening to Tian Ming'an's narration of these days, Jiang Sheng chuckled and waved his hand: "You can do whatever you want, Mr. Zhang, but don't go. Pay attention to him.”
“I’m feeling a little tired after six days here, so I’ll go and get some rest. I’ll give you a lesson when I wake up.”
Tian Ming'an quickly said yes, with excitement in his eyes. He had long been looking forward to Jiang Sheng coming to test him, so that he could show Jiang Sheng his achievements in the past few days.
After entering the Taoist temple, Jiang Sheng first offered incense to the portrait of the Patriarch in the front hall, and then returned to the back hall to rest.
For six consecutive days of intense concentration and running back and forth, Jiang Sheng was indeed tired. After confirming that there were no problems with the formation, he fell into a deep sleep.
After this sleep, I slept until the early morning of the next day.
At Mao hour, Jiang Sheng opened his eyes habitually. After a night's rest, his energy finally recovered.
First, there was the routine of gathering morning glow energy, and then Jiang Sheng called Tian Ming'an: "I told you that I want to test your homework. It is early in the morning, so the time is right. Let me practice it and show it to my teacher."< br>
After hearing this, Tian Ming'an immediately got into his stance, punched and kicked in a precise manner, and performed a complete set of punches and kicks.
Jiang Sheng stood in front of the hall and watched Tian Ming'an's movements, and nodded with satisfaction: "There is some progress." Tian Ming'an smiled after hearing this: "It's all good teaching from the master."
After that, Tian Ming'an took out three more green talismans from his arms and handed them to Jiang Sheng with both hands: "Master was tired yesterday, and the disciple did not dare to disturb the master's rest. This is what the master gave me that day. The apprentice's magic talisman has never been used, so it is returned to the master."
"It's just three talismans. If they are given to you, they are given to you." Jiang Sheng waved his hand. Those talismans were his protective objects for Tian Ming'an. There is no reason to take them back if they are given out.
As he said that, Jiang Sheng counted the time with his fingers: "In the past few days, my teacher will start refining elixirs. You have a good understanding, so do your homework well."
"If spring comes, you If you can feel the clear Qi, my teacher will help you bring it into your body."
As soon as he said this, Tian Ming'an was extremely surprised: "Thank you, Master, I will definitely live up to Master's expectations."
“Just do your homework.”
After driving away Tian Ming'an, Jiang Sheng looked around the back hall, and then took out the alchemy furnace.
This second-level alchemy furnace is as tall as a person and is bronze in color. Jiang Sheng is quite satisfied with this alchemy furnace. At least it is suitable for his current use.
After taking out various materials required for alchemy, Jiang Sheng first sat cross-legged in front of the alchemy furnace and quietly adjusted his breath to keep his mind and power in the most perfect state.
When he calmly adjusted his breath until noon, Jiang Sheng opened his eyes, pointed his right hands together, and the foundation-building true fire began to burn blazingly below the alchemy furnace, and within a short time, the bottom of the alchemy furnace burned red.
Then Jiang Sheng waved his left hand, and three elixirs, namely snake saliva fruit, seven-star grass and red damask flower, flew into the alchemy furnace.
Under the baking of the foundation-building true fire, the three elixirs quickly turned into balls of spiritual liquid under the influence of spiritual power.
Immediately afterwards, Jiang Sheng sent a piece of the tiger bone of the demon tiger into the alchemy furnace. The tiger bone gradually turned into a ball of white liquid under the roasting.
Jiang Sheng controlled the four groups of liquid to gradually merge, and the power of the Foundation Building True Fire also continued to change. When the four groups of spiritual liquid were completely integrated, Jiang Sheng sent Baicao Dew into the alchemy furnace.
As Baicao Dew poured into the mass of elixir, the large mass of elixir completely merged, and then divided into ten small groups under the control of Jiang Sheng's spiritual power.
At this time, it was the last moment. Jiang Sheng controlled the flame size of the Foundation Establishment True Fire and gradually solidified the ten pill liquids into pills with uneven appearance.
This is the prototype of the elixir.
Immediately afterwards, Jiang Sheng continued to control the foundation-building real fire to bake, and used spiritual power to gradually compress the elixir.
When the appearance of these elixirs gradually becomes rounded, and finally becomes round elixirs, it means that this batch of elixirs has been completed.
He waved his hand and unleashed a burst of spiritual power to open the top cover of the alchemy furnace, and ten pills were taken into Jiang Sheng's hands.
After smelling the elixir's fragrance and confirming that the color, shape, and fragrance of the elixir were correct, Jiang Sheng put these elixirs into jade bottles and stored them.
"It is not difficult to refine the Tiger Bone Peiyuan Pill. First, make five furnaces, and then refine the Juyuan Pill."
Making up his mind, Jiang Sheng continued to refine the Tiger Bone Peiyuan Pill. .
It takes two hours to refine one batch of tiger bone elixir. Jiang Sheng spent a total of ten hours refining the tiger bone elixir. After five batches of elixirs were made, Jiang Sheng’s spiritual energy was also consumed. Most of it.
Instead of forcibly refining other elixirs, Jiang Sheng sat cross-legged on the spot and adjusted his breath to restore his spiritual power. He did not start refining the Yuan Ju Dan until he had cultivated his energy and spirit on the second day.
Juyuan Dan also consumes five kinds of elixirs.
Four elixirs, including Wulingzhi, Campanula, Qinglingcao, and Qixingcao, were sent into the alchemy furnace by Jiang Sheng in turn.
As the elixir turned into liquid, Jiang Sheng directly sent Baicao Dew into the alchemy furnace to start fusing the liquid.
When the elixir liquid is completely condensed and is finally divided into ten small groups and then gradually solidifies, with a hint of cyan on the outside, the Juyuan Dan is initially formed.
Continuing to control the foundation-building true fire, Jiang Sheng skillfully compressed and solidified the elixir gradually, making the appearance round and green.
Second-level elixir, Juyuan elixir is ready!
After the elixir was refined, Jiang Sheng still gradually confirmed the ingredients of the elixir according to its color, appearance, and fragrance. After confirming that it was correct, he put the elixir into the jade bottle and started the furnace again.
Jiang Sheng has been refining elixirs for several days.
In the past few days, many gentry and wealthy businessmen in Qingshan County were in panic because Zhang Qingyun used the power of killing demons to clean up the gentry in Qingshan County who did not cooperate with him.
All the gentry and the wealthy gentry in each town either choose to obey orders or choose to die. There is no third option at all.
When the Huang family was the first to have their homes confiscated, and the famous Huang Shiren and his family members were beheaded one by one at Caishikou in Qingshan County, the entire gentry in Qingshan County knew that they had no future at present. .
If there was an accident, only Qingping Town was left.
Qingping Town seems to have been forgotten by Zhang Qingyun. There is no change in what it was like before and what it is now.
The county government's decree has never come to Qingping Town. It is as if Qingshan County does not have this place at all, it is very peaceful and peaceful.
Everyone knows why: the grandson of Tian Guofu, the mayor of Qingping Town, is the disciple of the one from Qingping Mountain.
