Chapter 341 Zhang Family Situation
Mingyue Peak.
A mountaintop palace.
Countless beautiful maids came like flowing water, offering all kinds of spiritual food and wine.
Taoist Zuiyue, Lei Hanshan and others did not attend this banquet, and there were no monks familiar with Chu Chen in the hall.
After everyone finished toasting, Chu Chen sat alone, listening to the monks from Qingyun Tower talking about many things that happened in Qianzhou.
"I heard that the Zhang family was in trouble again. The medicine garden in Beihe County was looted by a group of rogue cultivators."
The topic returned to Yuanwu Domain, and an elder of Qingyun Tower couldn't help but talk about the Zhang family.
"What kind of robbery cultivator must be disguised as a monk from the Shangguan family and other forces."
Jiang Shili shook his head and smiled, revealing the identity of the so-called 'Jie Xiu'.
This is a no-brainer.
As time goes by, the longevity of the ancestors of the Zhang family is getting closer and closer, and the Zhang family's control over all parties is declining year by year, declining bit by bit.
Especially since the ancestor of the Zhang family has not appeared for more than 20 years, the Shangguan family and other forces once again tested the Zhang family.
Compared with the last time, the methods used by the Shangguan family and other forces to test were more intense.
Things like what happened in Beihe County Medicine Garden have happened several times, and the Zhang family has suffered heavy losses.
Beat up the drowned dog.
Now is the time when the Zhang family is at its lowest point. If the Shangguan family and other forces don't take this opportunity to suppress the Zhang family as much as possible, will they have to watch the Zhang family cultivate another golden elixir peak true king to tide over the difficulties?
Faced with the increasing pressure of the Shangguan family and other forces, the Zhang family chose to shrink its power to avoid direct conflict with the Shangguan family and other forces.
"The situation of the Zhang family ancestor is not optimistic."
Hearing this, Chu Chen's eyes narrowed.
The Zhang family’s ancestor is the Zhang family’s magic needle. If there wasn’t something wrong with the Zhang family’s ancestor, the Zhang family wouldn’t have given in so easily.
Just like decades ago, when the Shangguan family provoked the Zhang family, the ancestor of the Zhang family directly came forward, challenged the ancestor of the Shangguan family to a battle, and defeated him in order to intimidate all forces.
The ancestor of the Zhang family showed no intention of showing up this time, which inevitably made people suspicious.
Many people speculated that after the previous fight with the ancestor of the Shangguan family, the ancestor of the Zhang family had a recurrence of his old injury and had to retreat to recuperate.
"The ancestor of the Zhang family has a lifespan of 650 years. According to the inferences of all parties, the ancestor of the Zhang family should have about fifty years left."
Chu Chen recalled the information about the ancestor of the Zhang family.
The True Lord of the Golden Pill has a lifespan of six hundred, but he can practice life-extending exercises and secret techniques, and take the life-extending elixir to extend his life.
The Zhang family once obtained a ten-thousand-year-old chalcedony ginseng and refined it into a third-grade life-extending pill to extend the life of the ancestor of the Zhang family, plus the first- and second-grade longevity pills he had taken.
The ancestors of the Zhang family have been extended their lifespan by nearly a hundred years in total.
But this does not mean that the ancestor of the Zhang family will definitely live another fifty years. This is under the most ideal situation.
Most monks would inevitably leave hidden wounds when fighting with others, or they would lose their lifespan by practicing certain secret and forbidden techniques.
The same is true for the ancestors of the Zhang family.
Fifty years is just a false finger. The ancestor of the Zhang family has less than fifty years left to live.
If the Zhang family ancestor's old injury relapses, his remaining life span will be even less.
Unless the ancestor of the Zhang family can find a life-extending spiritual object that is more precious than the third-grade life-extending pill, or develop some kind of secret life-extending technique, he can extend his life again.
However, it's unlikely.
Every spiritual object and secret technique that can prolong the life of the True Monarch of Golden Elixir is extremely rare and precious.
Once it appears, it will inevitably attract many Jindan Zhenjun to compete for it.
The possibility that the ancestor of the Zhang family could find such a spiritual object was even lower than the possibility that the Zhang family would produce another peak golden elixir true king.
"If the ancestor of the Zhang family dies, the Yuanwu Domain will inevitably be in chaos."
Chu Chen was not worried.
The Zhang family's incident might cause an uproar in Yuanwu Domain, but it would not affect him.
Because he is in the Qingyun Tower, the dominant force in the Yuanwu Domain.
The Zhang family, Shangguan family and other forces are giants that cannot be offended by ordinary monks.
But for Qingyun Tower, the Zhang family, Shangguan family and other forces are not worth mentioning, but they are not much different.
Even the Silver Maple Sect and Qingyun Tower, which were weaker than the Zhang family and other forces, could easily overturn it.
If Qingyun Tower really wants to take action against the Zhang family and other forces, it is impossible for the Zhang family and other forces to resist.
A Nascent Soul Heavenly Lord is enough to sweep through!
"As long as I stay in Qingyun Tower, no matter how chaotic the Yuanwu Domain is, it will not affect my retreat and practice."
Chu Chen made up his mind that he would not leave Qingyun Tower easily before the Zhang family matter was over.
The banquet lasted for two hours. Chu Chen was not bored listening to Jiang Shili and others talking about world affairs.
Through Jiang Shili and others, he also learned many secrets of Yuanwu Domain.
…
The next day.
Chu Chen went to Qianshi Peak and visited Taoist Zuiyue.
"Thanks to Senior Brother Zuiyue's guidance, Pindao was able to successfully break through to the level three low-level alchemist."
As soon as they met, Chu Chen presented two jars of cold spring nectar.
"Junior brother, you are serious. You have a solid foundation. It will be a matter of time to break through to the third-level low-level alchemy master. Brother Wei is just moving this time forward."
Taoist Zuiyue took the cold spring nectar smoothly, with a smile on his face: "Today, let's have a good drink with my brother."
He became more and more satisfied with Chu Chen.
He has a respected status and a rather eccentric personality, so he has few close friends.
When most people faced him, they were either flattering or intimidated, which made him quite unhappy and unwilling to have close friendship with them.
Chu Chen was an exception. He seemed to be flattering, but actually faced him with an equal attitude, which made him very satisfied.
"Being respectful is worse than obeying orders."
Chu Chen smiled.
The two of them sat and talked while drinking.
"Junior brother, do you have a grudge against Fang Chengfeng?"
The drunken moon Taoist drank a cup of spirit wine and suddenly mentioned something.
"No."
Chu Chen was stunned and shook his head.
He had no grudge against Fang Chengfeng. On the contrary, he had worked for his Taoist partner Sun Siyan for a period of time.
"That's strange. When Senior Brother Lei recommended you to become an elder of Qingyun Tower for reporting the demon cultivator, Fang Chengfeng had spoken to stop him. If it weren't for the decision of the great elder, this matter might have been left unresolved."
Hearing Chu Chen's words, the drunken moon Taoist was slightly surprised.
"Maybe Senior Brother Fang has other considerations."
Chu Chen was silent for a moment and smiled as if he didn't care.
"Maybe."
The drunken moon Taoist looked at Chu Chen deeply. He didn't think Chu Chen would not care about this issue.
However, he didn't delve into this issue.
It was enough to let Chu Chen know about this matter so that Fang Chengfeng would be on guard.
"Fang Chengfeng..."
Chu Chen silently kept this matter in his heart.
Just as Taoist Zuiyue thought, how could he not care about this matter?
Indeed, even if Fang Chengfeng succeeded, he could only stop him for a while. After a few years, he would announce to the public that he had become a low-level alchemist of the third rank, and he could also join the Qingyun Tower.
But.
If he was really just an ordinary Zhenjun who had formed a pill at an old age and exhausted his potential, he might not have the opportunity to join the Qingyun Tower in the future if he lost this opportunity.
Not to mention, he had no hatred with Fang Chengfeng, but rather some incense and affection.
"Narrow-minded."
Chu Chen's eyes flashed, and he understood why Fang Chengfeng did this.
It was nothing more than that he had rejected Sun Siyan's recruitment, so he wanted to suppress him.
Even, it might be that Fang Chengfeng was in a momentary mood and did it casually.
He would settle this account with Fang Chengfeng.
Of course.
Not now.
When his father Xuanjing Tianjun died, he would have plenty of opportunities.
