Lonely Immortal

The children of the four major families are indeed a bit hypocritical. They have to bring an attendant with them when they go out. However, all the big families do this, so it's still good. If it's normal, there will probably be more attendants. Anyway, Zhang Zhiwen has no interest in this kind of thing. They are called attendants, but in fact they are house slaves. At critical moments, they are cannon fodder. Only some poor casual cultivators will do such things when they are desperate. There are quite a few such poor casual cultivators in Feixian City. Just look at the crowded crowd at the entrance of the Wenxian Hall to know what's going on.

What the casual cultivator uncle said just now was just a few words. Zhang Zhiwen actually knew very well that the four major families occupied the resources of Feixian City, and many casual cultivators actually had no way out. Therefore, even if they knew that they might become cannon fodder, there were still many people willing to be the attendant.

Therefore, in a word, the so-called followers are used as pioneers to explore the way for the Qi Refining 7th level family members. As for the Qi Refining 8th and 9th level family members, it is not that they do not need followers, but the monsters they hunt are too powerful, and the followers of the general low-level Qi Refining level are not worth it. If you find a follower above the middle stage of Qi Refining, it is obviously not considered a personal experience. Therefore, only the Qi Refining 7th level family members can bring a follower when they go out for training for the first time.

In fact, although Zhang Zhiwen has not been in Feixian City for a long time, he can generally see how the four major families train their children. At the beginning, they are naturally trained in the mansion, especially when they are in the early to middle stages of Qi Refining, which can also prevent the children from dying for no reason. Later, they are sent to patrol teams to participate in the daily affairs of Feixian City, which is to train individuals' ability to handle things, and then to experience. Therefore, the four major families are also very smart and will not let their children die outside for no reason. They will not let them go out until the family children's cultivation reaches the high level of Qi Refining. But even so, the first time they go out for experience is to give them an opportunity to bring followers.

Zhang Zhiwen thinks this is very reasonable, which is in line with human nature. The outside world must be very cruel, and experience is indispensable, otherwise how can they take over the rule of Feixian City in the future? But if you practice too early, you will just die in vain. The most dangerous people outside are not the monsters, but the independent cultivators. Even if the independent cultivators who survived the battles outside for many years are not as good as the family members, they have too many tricks and tricks, which are almost impossible to defend against. Therefore, it is really necessary to bring a follower with experience in outdoor survival when you go out for the first time.

But Zhang Zhiwen was not interested in this matter at all. He only cared about how to get the materials for alchemy. So, he entered the Wenxian Hall, where there were more people. It can be seen that there are still many poor independent cultivators. It is rare to have such an opportunity once a year. They all rushed to sign up. Because of this, the place where tasks are usually accepted has been blocked. However, Zhang Zhiwen did not care. There were only some ordinary tasks in that place. It is better to take a look at the tasks issued by the four major families. Maybe you can see something.

So, he squeezed in front of the big notice board of the Questioning Immortal Hall. There was indeed some news here. The four major families issued a lot of tasks, most of which were to collect various materials or exchange for materials. Zhang Zhiwen took a look and felt a little strange, because he found that there were three things that appeared most frequently in the tasks of the four major families. The first was the Xuanling Fruit, the second was the Xuanbing Crystal, and the third was the Xuanling Wood.

These three things almost appeared in the various task requirements of the four major families, and there were also beast pills and other things to exchange for them. Anyway, they all seemed to need these three things. Of course, Zhang Zhiwen knew what these three things were. The Xuanling Fruit was the main ingredient of the Xuanling Pill, the Xuanbing Crystal was the frost of the Xuanling Tree, and the Xuanling Wood was not to mention, which was the branches of the Xuanling Tree. Of these three things, Zhang Zhiwen knew what the first one was used for, but he was not very clear about the others, because the Xuanling Fruit could be used as medicine to make pills and could be provided to spirit beasts for food. What was the Xuanbing Crystal? It seemed that the Li family had the most demand, and it was probably something commonly used in refining tools, perhaps used for quenching? Zhang Zhiwen was just guessing, and he didn't know if it was right or not. The last one was the Xuanling wood. Zhang Zhiwen originally thought that it should be used for alchemy and could burn fire, but in fact it was the most needed by the Chen family, and it seemed to be a very important thing for making talismans.

Originally, Zhang Zhiwen didn't know much about other common sense, such as refining tools, controlling beasts, and talismans, but now he suddenly felt that there seemed to be a close connection here, because the Xuanling tree can be used in four aspects of alchemy, refining tools, controlling beasts, and talismans. It can be seen that in terms of high-level Qi refining resources, many things are connected. Perhaps some beast pills or beast bones are a kind of core resources, which can be used for alchemy, refining tools, controlling beasts, and talismans. This is very likely.

This made Zhang Zhiwen think of the auction that Feixian City will hold soon. Although it is held every six months, will there be a lot of materials at that time? That is to say, maybe as long as he grows the Xuanling tree, he can wait to exchange things for other things?

Feixian City does not allow this at ordinary times, but will it be different during the auction? It is difficult to confirm Zhang Zhiwen now, but from the big notice board we can see that the four major families have a great demand for various materials of the Xuanling Tree, and Zhang Zhiwen can take on this kind of task at will, and the safety factor is still quite high. He can just keep changing his identity in exchange for other resources.

Therefore, Zhang Zhiwen felt a little settled. Whether it was an auction or a task on this big bulletin board, he would have the opportunity to gather the alchemy materials. The remaining ones that were not available here might be released to the casual cultivators on weekdays. If you look around the place, you should be able to get it together.

So the most important thing now is to get the seeds of the Xuanling Tree. In addition, he also needs a lot of spiritual stones as nutrients to cultivate the spiritual tree. However, Zhang Zhiwen doesn't have many spiritual stones on his body now, and Zhao Tiefeng doesn't have many spiritual stones on his body. Did this guy leave the money at home before going out?

Seeds seem to be easier to get. Go to Zhao's place and have a look. Maybe you can get a Xuanling Fruit, and then there will be seeds, but it will definitely cost money. Zhang Zhiwen suddenly felt helpless. He had just been a kid before. I made a fortune, but now I am very poor. This cultivation of immortality is really expensive. The problem is that Zhang Zhiwen is now using the third level of Qi Refining. With his cultivation level, it seems that it is not easy to get money. Even though he now knows Feixian City quite well, he still can’t think of any good way to make money quickly. So it’s okay to make a little money, but just imagine Now, the spirit-peening tree requires at least ten low-grade spirit stones before it can produce fruit. The black spirit tree requires at least three times the spirit stones, right? Or even more than that? In addition, you also need to exchange some beast pills and animal bones. As for the Xuanling Fruit, it is considered a small amount of money, but it still requires about a hundred low-grade spirit stones, right? Maybe it’s not enough!

Therefore, everything requires money. Zhang Zhiwen really has no money at the moment. He is also a little worried now. He has just broken through to the seventh level of Qi Refining, and he has suddenly run out of food and is somewhat unable to survive.

At this time, a casual cultivator suddenly patted Zhang Zhiwen on the shoulder and said, "Hey, little brother, are you here to read the missions issued by the four major families? You are also going to be a follower, right?"

This guy thought that Zhang Zhiwen was also going to sign up to be a follower, but that’s right, with Zhang Zhiwen’s current apparent cultivation level, which is the third level of Qi Refining, other tasks from the four major families will definitely not be accepted and impossible to complete. , which means that the follower is just qualified.

Zhang Zhiwen was also a little helpless. Just now he thought the others were poor casual cultivators, but looking back, wasn't he one of them? But to be honest, he really doesn't want to be a follower. He would rather pick shit, which is more free.

But there seems to be no good choice now, right?

Sure enough, when the casual cultivator saw that Zhang Zhiwen remained silent, he chuckled and said: "Hey, little brother, don't worry too much. If you have reached the third level of Qi Refining, there are still opportunities. Of course, there are many people signing up now. , I guess most of them won’t be chosen, but I wish you good luck.”

After the man finished speaking, he left. Zhang Zhiwen felt even more helpless. There were so many people competing for him as a follower? There’s a high probability that you can’t choose?

Zhang Zhiwen thought for a while and finally gave up on becoming a follower. In this case, he would first get the seeds of the Xuanling Fruit, then plant them, and then take the Xuanling Fruit and come here to hand in the task. This way, You should be able to save money and exchange it for alchemy materials.

Apart from anything else, first look at how much the Xuanling Fruit costs, and then how many spirit stones are needed to cultivate the Xuanling Tree. This is the serious business. If the money is not enough, then think of other ways.

In this way, Zhang Zhiwen planned to leave here first, but at this moment, there was movement outside. Zhang Zhiwen heard other people seem to be saying that the children of the four major families came here to choose their followers, so many people squeezed out one after another. .

Zhang Zhiwen was also curious, why did the children of the four major families come to choose their followers in person? It seems that this has not happened in previous years, right? However, Zhang Zhiwen didn't know the specific situation. He just followed the crowd and had to squeeze out.

After coming out, Zhang Zhiwen saw many children from the four major families coming, and the leader was an old man, who should be the elder of the four major families. At this moment, the children of these families were standing outside waiting, and they were all at the seventh level of Qi Refining. Among them, Zhang Zhiwen saw Lin Mingyue and Lin Mingdong. Obviously, these brothers and sisters also wanted to participate in this experience. , and then asked a person in charge of the Immortal Hall to immediately run over and say something to the elder. The elder nodded, and then looked at everyone.

Seeing that most of the people here were casual cultivators below the third level of Qi Refining, the elder nodded and said, "You all signed up to become followers, right?"

The old man's voice was not loud, but it was extremely penetrating. It was obvious that he had a ninth-level cultivation of Qi Refining, which naturally brought him a sense of majesty. Therefore, no one dared to say anything, but they all acquiesced. It’s just that Zhang Zhiwen is a little helpless , he doesn’t want to be a follower, but he can’t leave now, otherwise it would be too blatant for him to leave alone without everyone leaving. He will definitely not be so reckless, so he can only temporarily Stayed in place.

Seeing everyone's acquiescence, the old man nodded, and then waved his hand: "Go ahead, pick one that is suitable and pleasing to your eyes, and then you can set off."

After the old man finished speaking, the children of these families stepped forward one after another to choose their followers. Zhang Zhiwen had no choice but to retreat secretly. At this moment, these casual cultivators were all pushing forward, eager to be selected by the children of the four major families. As long as they were selected , you can get one hundred low-grade spiritual stones.
