Chapter 2 The End of the Known World

Zhang Hao's gaze was firm and stubborn, Zhang Shengde finally nodded helplessly.

Picking up the purification gemstone on the table, he said to Zhang Hao: "In order to completely eliminate the curse, let's purify it once."

Under the urging of the true essence, a rainbow of light appeared from the purified gemstone, connecting Zhang Hao's eyebrows.

Zhang Hao slowly closed his eyes. In the dimness, it seemed that there were colorful lights flowing into the depths of his soul, bringing light and warmth, dispelling darkness, chaos, and coldness; the soul gradually became transparent and pure.

The two memories merged slowly, and the soul and body were fully integrated.

The headache disappeared, and the consciousness was unprecedentedly clear. A exercise called "Little Zhou Tiangong" came to mind; this is the Zhang family's exercise.

Recalling it again, Zhang Hao was so surprised that he understood it! The core of the practice is the 'unity of man and nature'; and a certain great nation has advocated this idea for thousands of years.

The lofty feeling of flying away with the wind in the previous "Flying Immortal Picture" came to mind again.

Feng Xu Yufeng, Yujian Jianghu, wants to compete with Tiangong.

In the haze, Zhang Hao seemed to see a vast and majestic energy between the sky and the earth, tumbling endlessly.

This is the aura between heaven and earth!

The exercises work on their own, and the spiritual energy between heaven and earth pours into the body.

As if it were a fantasy, Zhang Hao embarked on a road, a road between reality and illusion.

After walking for a while, a stone wall blocked the way. With Zhang Hao's slight push, the stone wall shattered, and a wider road appeared.

Zhang Hao's heart skipped a beat: Qi Refining Level 6!

Continue to move forward, and soon another stone wall blocks the way. This time the stone wall was unattainable, as solid as an iron wall; after bumping into it several times, it couldn't be shaken at all.

Zhang Hao thoughtfully, sitting cross-legged to practice.

The idea of ​​the unity of man and nature sprouted, and a mysterious breath of heaven and earth seemed to flow into the body, and the figure gradually became tall, majestic, and mighty.

The figure gradually approached the height of the stone wall, punched out, and the stone wall shattered again.

"The seventh level of Qi refining! I see." Zhang Hao smiled, and lightly embarked on a new path.

There was a veil-like streamer floating around, and mysterious information poured into Zhang Hao's mind. Zhang Hao slowed down and gradually became intoxicated by it.

After an unknown amount of time, the world swayed like light smoke, gradually receding and disappearing.

Zhang Hao slowly opened his eyes, only to see that the previously dazzling purified gem was full of cracks and lost all its brilliance.

There was a crackling sound, and the purified gem was reduced to crumbs.

"Purification gem." Zhang Hao thoughtfully. Turning to look at his father, he saw a shocked expression on his father's face.

Zhang Shengde stammered a little: "Refining Qi... the seventh floor?"

Zhang Hao nodded, letting go of his breath a little bit.

A smile gradually bloomed on Zhang Shengde's face, and finally he burst into laughter: "Good! Good! Good!

Being able to wake up from the curse of the soul on your own will not only change your understanding drastically, but you won't have to be afraid of the curse of the soul in the future. "

"Hehe..." Zhang Hao smirked: My situation... probably doesn't match what you said.

Zhang Shengde suddenly pulled Zhang Hao up and rushed out: "Go, go and report your mother's safety."

…………

Zhang Hao was dragged by his father and floated all the way to the North Courtyard like a kite.

The mother looked a little pale, but she fell ill because of Zhang Hao's problem; to be exact, she almost went crazy.

Zhang Hao took his mother's hand and said caring words, "Mother, don't worry, look, the baby is already well. But mother, you should pay attention to self-cultivation.

The baby will be happy only when the mother recovers. "

"Okay, okay, mom will get better soon."

Zhang Shengde watched from the side, with a bright smile on his face. Only when you lose it will you know how to cherish it. The scene right now is precious and warm.

It's just that in the depths of the eyes, there is a cold light flickering - the Qian family! In order not to repeat the same mistakes, the Qian family must pull out!

Zhang Hao talked for a while, and didn't leave until his mother felt sleepy.

When he got to Zhang Shengde's study, Zhang Hao was a little worried: "Father, mother's body..."

"It's okay, just take some time to cultivate. Anyway, your mother is also in the foundation building stage."

Seeing Zhang Shengde's relaxed expression, Zhang Hao felt relieved.

Zhang Shengde spread out a crude map on the table: "If you want to participate in family affairs, you must understand the family's environment.

Where we are is considered to be the end of the known world. "

The end of the known world?

Zhang Hao became interested, so take a closer look. The map is very simple and can only be seen roughly; but with Zhang Shengde's explanation, Zhang Hao gradually sketched a three-dimensional picture in his mind.

In this practice world, or more precisely the 'known world', there are seven continents; the one located in the northwest is the Continent of Fertility. In the westernmost part of the Fertile Continent, there is a "Qixia Country", or "Qixia Country".

The Kingdom of Qixia is close to the 'Green Sea of ​​Death'. This is the end of the known world and the home of the sunset, because of the name of 'Qixia'.

The Zhang family is also located in the westernmost part of the 'Nation of Qixia', in Ninghe County and Changshan Town, and is adjacent to the Green Sea of ​​Death.

The country of Qixia is mountainous, and the reserves of black iron ore are extremely rich, but the Zhang family does not have exclusive rights.

But black iron is a kind of spiritual material after all, and the smelting technology is the core. The Qian family did whatever it could to get the Zhang family's smelting technology.

After finishing speaking, Zhang Shengde asked, "Do you have any questions?"

"No more." Zhang Hao shook his head.

In fact, Zhang Hao really wanted to ask what was going on with the 'Green Sea of ​​Death', but he was afraid of being exposed.

Zhang Shengde nodded, his tone a bit heavy: "Next, let's talk about trade routes.

The country of Qixia is mountainous, the land is relatively barren, and medicinal materials are scarce.

Since the rise of the nation age thousands of years ago, the countries in the east have monopolized the trade routes. The price of medicinal materials has been rising year after year, while the price of black iron has been falling year after year.

Since the beginning of the country, the Western countries have continued to conquer the East, but they have lost more than they won, and angered the Eastern countries. "

"Take the 'Peiyuan Pill' which invigorates qi, nourishes blood, strengthens the foundation and cultivates vitality as an example. In the East, a Peiyuan Pill only needs three to five spirit stones, or even lower; here we need 20 spirit stones.

At the beginning of practice, Peiyuan Pill is essential for refining and transforming Qi. The quality and quantity of Peiyuan Dan directly affect the foundation of practitioners, influence the base number of practitioners in a country, and then affect the foundation of a country.

There is also the crucial Foundation Establishment Pill. In the east, it only takes 100 spirit stones to establish a foundation pill; but here, it costs thousands.

The number of Foundation Establishment Pills is directly related to the prosperity of the country.

Expensive pills are draining the blood of Western countries! "

Zhang Hao's eyes were also serious, "Is there only one formula for Zhuji Pill?"

"There are many recipes. But the main medicines needed for the Foundation Establishment Pill are always the same.

For example, Wushouhua, Dinghuncao, century-old ginseng, blood ginseng, tendon and bone grass, golden snake grass, etc., almost all the foundation building pills use one or two kinds, and these are almost all controlled by Dongfang. "

In the end, Zhang Shengde sighed: "Now, we have to spend 70% of our wealth to buy pills every year, but it's still not enough!"

Zhang Hao nodded slowly, and had a basic understanding of the environment he was in. To sum it up in one sentence: very pessimistic.

It can even be said that the crisis is imminent!
