Cultivation: I have an equipment slot

Chapter 90 Mountain Lord, Harvest: Qi Refining Perfection.

Zhang Yan: "???"
"Me, the mountain lord?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yan couldn't help but laugh.

The Qingheng Sect is different from other sects; in its early years, it was a combination of various different forces.

Because our ancestors worked together to develop the Tianmu Mountains.

Therefore, they united to form a sect.

Even so, everyone still built their own independent strongholds.

Those who pioneered this path all left behind a corresponding legacy.

These are the seven peaks of the Qingheng Sect, as well as various other mountain strongholds.

According to the rules of the Qingheng Sect, to become the main peak, one must have a Golden Core cultivator in charge.

Or perhaps they possess third-tier skills.

For example, at Qianbao Peak, even if there are no Golden Core cultivators present, there are Foundation Establishment cultivators who can refine magic weapons.

It can also be called the main peak.

The remaining mountain peaks will need to be managed by cultivators in the Foundation Establishment stage.

However, generally speaking, it requires the later stages of Foundation Establishment.

Zhang Yan is only at the late stage of Qi Refining.

He is not qualified to be the mountain lord at all.

"Of course, I'm not asking you to build a mountain now, but rather after you've established your foundation, and you'll also need the sect leader's approval."

Oh, right, you also need your master's consent.

Lei Kunhai added.

"it is good!"

Zhang Yan nodded slightly, without refusing.

He knew what Lei Kunhai was thinking.

He wanted the Taiyi Yantian Record to be included in the Qingheng Sect.

To enhance the foundation of the Qingheng School.

After thinking about it, Zhang Yan did not refuse.

First of all, this opportunity was originally brought to him by the sect.

And it was only right that he should repay the sect.

As for the Taiyi Sect's requirement to preserve its lineage.

To be honest, if Zhang Yan could establish a stronghold for them, it would be much easier than just finding someone to teach them.

After all, he was already a disciple of the Qingheng Sect.

It's impossible to leave the Qingheng Sect just because you've obtained the Taiyi Sect's inheritance.

Therefore, allowing him to establish a stronghold within the Qingheng Sect would be the best option.

……

Returning from the secret realm.

Zhang Yan also began to cultivate diligently.

He returned to the base of true disciples of the Qingheng Sect.

Zhang Yan also left no ink mark.

He chose to continue his spiritual practice.

This time, however, he will replace the Everlasting Spring Technique with the Taiyi Evolution Record.

"It's a pity we don't have any earth-type spirit items yet." Zhang Yan felt a little disappointed.

If he could obtain an earth-elemental spiritual object, he could then complete the set of five elemental spiritual roots.

When the time comes, cultivating the Taiyi Evolution Record will definitely make you even more powerful.

But he also knew that these things couldn't be forced.

It all depends on fate.

The cultivation of the Taiyi Yantian Record is very unique.

He required cultivators to cultivate different types of magical power, and then mix these magical powers during the foundation-building process.

Among them, Zhang Yan already possessed wood-attribute magic power.

Moreover, he has already reached the seventh level of Qi Refining.

There are still the metal, fire, and water attributes of magic that I haven't cultivated.

The wood-attribute magic power was directly transformed into exclusive magic power by the Taiyi Evolution Record.

He then began to cultivate other magical powers according to the techniques of the Taiyi Yantian Record.

He needs to start cultivating these magical powers from scratch.

And this cultivation took a full five years.

……

Five years have passed, and Zhang Yan's cultivation has reached the peak of Qi Refining.

He's already considering the issue of foundation building.

He was lucky, of course.

In the third year, the sect leader brought him an earth-elemental spirit.

Therefore, he now possesses all five elements.

In addition, Zhang Yan also learned a large number of spells.

There are dozens of them in total.

The Fire Element Technique, Metal Element Technique, and Earth Element Technique have all been perfected.

"I really don't know what it will be like after I reach the Foundation Establishment stage!" Zhang Yan was enjoying the prospect of what would happen after he reached the Foundation Establishment stage.

Because of cultivating the Taiyi Yantian Record.

Zhang Yan's magical power is several times greater than that of ordinary people.

When the foundation is laid, it will continue to expand.

Therefore, once he establishes his foundation, he will become a true genius.

It can unilaterally slaughter enemies of the same level.

However, this is contingent on him successfully establishing his foundation.

……

"It's about time." Zhang Yan glanced at the time and then looked up at the sky.

as predicted.

Not long after, Zhang Yan saw a long rainbow rushing towards him.

This is Lei Kunhai.

"Let's go," Lei Kunhai said to Zhang Yan with a smile.

“Okay, let’s go.” Zhang Yan nodded.

Lei Kunhai came here this time to ask him to go to the Ancient Battlefield.

Sects often need to go to the Ancient Battlefield to purchase large quantities of raw stones.

Zhang Yan happened to have the ability to appraise stones.

So we decided to go together.

Having a Golden Core cultivator take him out is a good thing for him.

After all, he needs a large number of magical artifacts.

He has almost completely plundered the Qingheng Sect, or rather, the entire Tianmu Mountain Range.

It's not that they're really gone.

However, the artifacts he found now had a large number of duplicate entries on them.

It's not of much use to him anymore.

Even so, Zhang Yan did not give up on scavenging magical artifacts.

Especially those entries containing spells.

Over the course of five years, he also discovered something.

Different people have different understandings of magic.

Just as there are 1000 Hamlets for 1000 readers.

Each monk has a different understanding of magic.

This synthesizes the different understandings of magic among various cultivators.

Zhang Yan found a path that could lead to a quick and successful outcome.

He even wanted to reach a realm beyond perfection.

However, this would take a lot of time, and he is now unsure whether it is worth wasting time on it.

……

They followed Lei Kunhai out of the base.

Zhang Yan and Lei Kunhai did not go directly to the Ancient Battlefield.

Instead, he went back to the Qingheng Sect first.

Here, Zhang Yan found Liu Yiting.

Over the years, Liu Yiting has fully blossomed into a graceful and beautiful young woman.

Unfortunately, her spiritual root was indeed rather poor.

Although she was Zhang Yan's maid, she had relatively abundant resources.

However, his cultivation level was only at the mid-stage of Qi Refining.

Fortunately, her role was that of a service-oriented maid.

Moreover, although her cultivation level was low, her talent in the field of spiritual plants was not bad.

With her help.

Zhang Yan's plant garden is still in operation.

Most importantly, the two thousand acres of spiritual land he had previously rented out have now been taken back.

Over the past five years, Zhang Yan has accumulated even more assets.

Among them were those who were true disciples, and many people came to seek refuge with them.

For those who come seeking refuge.

Zhang Yan naturally wouldn't exclude them all.

He needs resources for his cultivation.

How can the resources distributed by the sect be enough?
They definitely need to rely on others for filial piety!

However, even so, he thoroughly investigated other people's backgrounds while accepting bribes.

after all.

He just wanted to earn some cultivation resources.

I don't want to become a tool for those who harm others.

It can be said that Zhang Yan is now truly one of the wealthiest men in the region.

He owns tens of thousands of acres of sacred land. And that's not all.

He even owned a shop in Qingheng Market.

Every month, they continuously contributed spirit stones to him.

This is why he can cultivate so comfortably.

Although Zhang Yan's assets sound incredibly extravagant.

However, compared to other true teachings...

Zhang Yan's actions were all considered minor.

The assets of other true lineages are even more terrifying.

This is actually a normal phenomenon.

After all, he is a true disciple.

From any perspective, he can be considered an upper-class figure in the Qingheng faction.

Even if it doesn't lead to the Golden Core stage.

A late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator is inevitable.

In any case, they are all at the top of the Qingheng faction.

Therefore, many families invest in advance.

Just like the Liu family's early investment in Zhang Yan.

The Liu family, now scattered and incorporated into the Qingheng Sect.

However, because of Zhang Yan, they can be considered to have formed their own faction.

Zhang Yan was the main figure.

Putting aside everything else, at least within the outer sect of the Qingheng Sect, it has already gained considerable influence.

Even the inner disciples would show them a certain degree of respect out of respect for Zhang Yan.

If Zhang Yan achieves the Golden Core by then.

Then the Liu family members will also rise to prominence.

It can be said.

The Liu family made a fortune from this investment!
If they hadn't invested in Zhang Yan and had instead stuck to their old ways, their entire family might have been wiped out.

"Young Master, this is the account book. Please take a look." After Zhang Yan returned to his cave, Liu Yiting quickly made him tea.

Then he took out an account book and asked him to take a look.

This contains the total income from all of Zhang Yan's assets.

to be frank.

He was somewhat surprised himself; he now had over 40,000 spirit stones.

This is only working capital.

Those spirit fields and the shops in the market are the greatest assets.

However, those items are all considered "mother hens" that place orders.

They certainly wouldn't kill and eat it easily.

In addition, his status as a direct disciple also brings him a large amount of resources every year.

These are the reasons why he can continue to advance rapidly on the path of cultivation.

"Not bad." He examined the accounts.

Zhang Yan withdrew some spirit stones.

The rest is left to them to run.

He wasn't afraid of anyone daring to steal his money.

In the cultivation world, strength always comes first. Anyone who dares to swindle his money will likely find themselves with nowhere to go in the entire Zhao Kingdom.

As for moving to other countries?

That was just a joke.

The world of cultivation is tough; it's difficult for a cultivator to establish themselves in someone else's territory.

It is even more difficult.

Unless you possess some skill.

For example, you are a master alchemist or a master weapon refiner.

After resolving these issues, Zhang Yan also took the silly bird from Liu Yiting.

It's kind of funny.

This silly bird has been fed for so long.

It turned out to be a monster.

No, to be precise, they are spirit beasts.

What made him both amused and exasperated was the other party's awakened talent ability.

Generally speaking, spirit beasts or demon beasts will possess a talent ability.

This innate ability is usually awakened based on bloodline.

This silly bird has no bloodline, but for some reason, its awakened talent is a powerful stomach.

Its stomach has mutated.

It can digest most things.

In particular, it has a strong resistance to toxins.

"Could it be because I often feed him poison?" Zhang Yan thought of the batch of pills that had been confiscated back then.

It contained a lot of poison.

He kept using this silly bird to test drugs.

In retrospect, the other party may have been influenced by that time.

They actually awakened such a talent.

"but……

"Now that you've awakened this talent, then you can come with me!" Zhang Yan thought for a moment and then took the silly bird from Liu Yiting.

And then he saw Zhang Yan reach out his hand.

The silly bird's first reaction is to fly!

It has now begun to develop intelligence.

I knew Zhang Yan's true nature all along!
Unfortunately, how could it possibly escape from Zhang Yan's grasp when it had just become a spirit beast?

He was directly pulled towards Zhang Yan by his outstretched hand.

"You're still running!" He laughed and patted the silly bird on the head.

Then I casually fed it a Qi Gathering Pill.

The silly bird, having obtained the elixir, immediately changed its demeanor.

Zhang Yan shook his head slightly upon seeing this.

This guy really doesn't learn his lesson.

……

Everything is packed up.

Zhang Yan also took the silly bird to Qianbao Peak.

As soon as he arrived at Qianbao Peak, he saw Lei Wanbao.

This guy looks even more muscular now, after not seeing him for a few years.

Moreover, with his attire, anyone who sees him can tell at a glance that his family is very wealthy.

"Haha, Senior Brother Zhang, your great-grandfather is already waiting for you." Lei Wanbao called Zhang Yan "senior brother" without hesitation upon seeing him.

Although he was older than Zhang Yan.

His cultivation level is higher than Zhang Yan's.

Unfortunately, one was a true disciple, while the other was merely an inner disciple.

There is a huge gap between the two.

In addition, Lei Wanbao had already figured it out before.

He wanted to latch onto Jin Yan's coattails.

So calling him "senior brother" was truly effortless.

"Senior Brother Lei, you don't need to be so polite." Although the other party called out to him very enthusiastically.

But Zhang Yan was not so arrogant.

Please.

He's the great-grandson of the Golden Core Ancestor, you know.

Don’t you have any face?

They followed Lei Wanbao into Qianbao Peak.

Lei Kunhai was indeed refining a weapon.

They didn't stop after seeing Zhang Yan.

Instead, they continued to hone their skills.

Zhang Yan wasn't in a hurry, and just observed slowly from the side.

Over the years, Zhang Yan has become capable of crafting high-grade magical artifacts.

He even gained some understanding of top-grade magical artifacts, and his progress in the art of artifact crafting can be described as rapid.

However, compared to Lei Kunhai, there is still a considerable gap.

Lei Kunhai is a ruthless person who can refine magical treasures!
However, this time, the opponent did not refine any magical artifact.

It was not a high-grade spiritual weapon.

In fact, this is normal.

Things in the cultivation world aren't so easy to obtain.

A magic weapon might be the culmination of a Golden Core cultivator's savings over hundreds of years.

Ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivators, let alone having the money to forge magic weapons, even if they did, so what?
With their strength, they simply couldn't unleash the power of the magic weapon!
They might even be targeted by other Golden Core cultivators because they possess magical treasures.

Therefore, even if Lei Kunhai can refine magical artifacts.

However, he still mainly focuses on refining magical artifacts on ordinary days.

After Zhang Yan officially refines the top-grade magic weapon, he will then attempt to upgrade it to a spiritual weapon.

So they looked at it very carefully.

"Can you understand it?" Lei Wanbao asked curiously, standing next to Zhang Yan.

Through his continuous efforts over the years, he has also been able to refine high-grade magical artifacts.

It can be said that even without Lei Kunhai's protection, the other party would still be considered a figure in the cultivation world!

after all!

Those who can forge high-grade magical artifacts will earn respect from others, no matter where they are.

"Of course I can understand it. Don't you understand it?" Zhang Yan looked at Lei Wanbao curiously, his eyes seeming to say, "Isn't this just basic knowledge? How can you not understand it?"
