Cultivation Begins From The Desert
v3 Chapter 142: The confrontation at the festival
The sky is clear, and there are no clouds.
On this day, Yuquan Peak, where Yuquan Zhou's family is located, ushered in the most lively day in more than two hundred years.
The foundation-building ceremony and promotion to the third-order craft refiner ceremony of Zhou Yang, the contemporary patriarch of the Zhou family, officially started today.
According to the ceremony etiquette, the first is the gifts from all the guests.
This gift also has rules for gift giving. Only those who have received invitations are eligible to offer gifts. Those who came to eat and drink after hearing the news, or who did not receive invitations because of their lack of friendship with the Zhou family, are No gift is required, and even if a gift is given, no one will sing it.
As the most important guests of this celebration, the Chen family was naturally the first to come to present the gift.
The person who came to participate in this celebration on behalf of the Chen family was also a newly promoted cultivator of the Chen family. This person was of the same generation as Chen Fangping. His name was Chen Fangli, and he was almost 20 or 30 years older than Zhou Yang.
"The White Tuoling Chen family presented a congratulatory gift, a third-order mid-grade spiritual pill [Sanyang Barrier Breaking Pill]."
The Chen family deserves to be the Chen family. When Chen Fangli handed the gift to Zhou Xuanbin, who was the master of ceremonies, on behalf of the Chen family, Zhou Xuanbin, who was singing, was also shocked by the gift, and his voice trembled a little.
And today's protagonist, Zhou Yang, narrowed his eyes even more. He couldn't help but look at the old patriarch Zhou Minghan next to him, and both saw a shocking look in the other's eyes.
This "Sanyang Barrier Breaking Pill" was originally exchanged to the ancestor of the Chen family. Unexpectedly, only a few years later, the ancestor of the Chen family has gathered enough materials to refine the finished medicinal pill, and will also One of them was given to him as a gift.
"Ancestor Chen's love, Zhou and the Zhou family are very grateful, please come to the Taoist friends of the Chen family!"
Zhou Yang suppressed the shock in his heart, got up quickly, bowed his hands to Chen Fangli and thanked him, and invited him to sit next to the chief.
With the pearls and jade in front of the Chen family, the congratulations at the back seemed a little underwhelming.
"The Liu family in Chixia Mountain presented a congratulatory gift, a two-hundred-year-old elixir [Difuling]."
"The Yang family in Jinquangu presented a congratulatory gift, a third-order spiritual item [Yanyu]."
"The Sun family of Qinglang Mountain presented a congratulatory gift, a piece of the third-order spiritual item [Red Profound Gold Essence]."
……
Zhou Xuanbin has been singing, and every time he presents a gift, he will use "amplification" to sing loudly to announce to the audience.
At this time, the number of immortal cultivators gathered on Yuquan Peak has exceeded 500. Although most of them are casual cultivators who come to eat and drink, there are also many small clan heads and important family members. Come to open your eyes and see if you can have some relationship with the Zhou family.
After all, after the Liu family in Chixia Mountain fell, in terms of strength, the Zhou family is already the second largest family after the Yang family in Jinquan Valley. In the eyes of some high-level cultivators who know the inside story, the strength and potential of the Zhou family have surpassed to the Yang family.
The congratulatory gifts that Zhou Xuanbin said might not be a big deal in the eyes of the foundation-building cultivators who had seen many treasures, but in the eyes of the qi-training cultivators, each item was a "heavy treasure" that was enough to arouse their amazement.
When the cultivators of the Zhou family during the Qi training period heard the exclamations of these people, they all showed a proud look on their faces.
The Zhou family cultivator and the Zhou family are both prosperous, and each loses both. Although Zhou Yang is receiving congratulations from outsiders at this moment, in the hearts of these Zhou family cultivators, they also have a share of this honor.
that's the truth.
If it weren't for the dedication of those Zhou family members, today's Zhou Yang, I am afraid that he is still working hard to raise spirit stones to buy foundation pills, how can he stand on the high platform and accept the congratulations of the monks from all over the world?
Now looking at the famous foundation-building cultivators, on behalf of the family, they sent congratulations to Zhou Yang for the Zhou family. Those young members of the Zhou family may just be watching the fun and the strangeness.
But in the eyes of people like Zhou Xuantai and Zhou Xuanbin, their hard work has been recognized and rewarded. You can imagine how excited they were at this time.
When female cultivators such as Lin Yuting, Zhou Xuanyan, Zhou Yuanchun, and Zhou Yuanzhen watched this scene, tears of excitement and joy could not help overflowing from their eyes.
The Zhou family is really strong. They have witnessed the process of the Zhou family turning from decline to prosperity, and they have contributed their own strength to this. This kind of personal participation, personal experience, and personal enjoyment experience makes them more vulnerable. touch.
And in the Zhou Minghan Cave Mansion on the top of Yuquan Peak, Zhou Xuanyu, who was hiding here through the formation to hide his breath, was also looking at the lively scene at the foot of the mountain and burst into tears.
She is the prosperity of the Zhou family, she is sincerely happy, and she feels extremely uncomfortable for not being able to attend such a grand event.
If she hadn't switched to magic arts, today she would be standing under the high platform with other brothers and sisters of the same clan to share this honor with Zhou Yang.
She looked at the lively scene at the foot of the mountain with tears streaming down her face, and a look of determination gradually appeared in her eyes.
"Although I can't share this glory, I can protect it!"
"I, Zhou Xuanyu, was born a member of the Zhou family, and died as a ghost of the Zhou family!"
The celebration continues.
There are more than 30 families and individuals who sent gifts to Zhou Yang this time, nearly twice as many as Zhou Xuanhao's foundation-building ceremony, and the level of gifts is not at the same level.
Of course.
Zhou Xuanhao had just built his foundation at that time, so if other families could send people to congratulate him, it was all because of the Zhou family's face, so how could they be willing to give heavy gifts.
But Zhou Yang is different, not to mention that Zhou Yang has gained a small reputation among the foundation-building monks in the nearby Immortal Cultivation World after various activities over the years.
Just to say that he also held the promotion of the third-order refiner together with the foundation building ceremony this time, it is worthy of many immortal cultivator families and loose cultivators.
If Zhou Xuanhao could be promoted to a third-order alchemist in the future, he would probably be able to enjoy Zhou Yang's treatment today.
But now that he is injured, he can no longer support him to refine the third-order elixir. When Zhou Yang can find elixir to heal his injury, he will be able to go further in elixir.
At the end, when Zhou Xuanbin finished singing and was preparing for the next activity, the Chen family cultivator Chen Fangli, who was sitting above the chief, suddenly stood up and looked at Zhou Yang and said loudly:
"Fellow Daoist Zhouyang, I have heard for a long time that Fellow Daoist Zhouyang has supernatural powers. Although he has just built the foundation for more than ten years, he has already killed several monks of the same rank. Even the demon cultivators in the middle stage of foundation building have also been executed by fellow Daoists. Show your supernatural powers, and let me wait to open my eyes?"
Ok?
Zhou Yang frowned, his face sank, and he looked at Chen Fangli coldly.
At a time like this, when you say this in public, is this guy here to congratulate or to make trouble?
Not only Zhou Yang, but also Zhou Minghan, Zhou Xuanhao and other Zhou family cultivators all looked at Chen Fangli with unpleasant expressions, and were extremely disgusted by this person's words.
But contrary to the Zhou family, those irrelevant guests heard Chen Fangli's words, but they all came to their spirits, looking at Tai Zhouyang with bright eyes, wanting to see how he would deal with this matter.
Originally, at the Foundation Establishment Ceremony, the newly promoted Foundation Establishment cultivator Lu showed some means that only a Foundation Establishment cultivator can perform. It was a very normal thing, and it could also be said to be a tradition.
Although those methods would seem ordinary to other cultivators in the Foundation Establishment period, they were very small, but it would not be a problem to use them to frighten and fool those Qi cultivators who had never seen the world.
But what Chen Fangli just said was obviously more than just letting Zhou Yang show his hands.
The meaning inside and outside of his words all revealed a color of suspicion. He suspected that Zhou Yang's record was not worthy of the name, and the provocation was full of provocation. He even pointed at Zhou Yang's nose and said "I want to challenge you".
Faced with this kind of provocation, how should Zhou Yang deal with it?
Anyone who knows the situation knows that it is not easy to deal with.
If Zhou Yang agreed to Chen Fangli's provocation and had a sparring with him in public, even if he won, he would have lost the face of the Chen family, and he would have offended Chen Fangli to death.
If it fails, then today's celebration will be reduced to a joke for the ages.
But if Zhou Yang didn't agree to Chen Fangli's provocation, wouldn't he be acquiescing to Chen Fangli's words of "unworthy of the name"?
Therefore, it is really difficult for Zhou Yang to deal with Chen Fangli's words. If he does not deal with it properly, it will be a great blow to the reputation of himself and the Zhou family.
Therefore, after Chen Fangli asked the question, Zhou Yang was silent for hundreds of breaths before he looked at the other party with a gloomy face and asked back: "Daoyou Chen said this to the Taoist friend, or is it the Taoist friend? one's own thoughts?"
Hearing what he said, Chen Fangli's face was startled, and a trace of panic and anger flashed in his eyes.
Of course, the ancestor of the Chen family would not let him repeat such words, otherwise he would not have given the treasure "Sanyang Barrier Breaking Pill" as a gift.
So, of course, this is his own idea. It was only his envy and jealousy after knowing that Chen Family used the "Sanyang Barrier Breaking Pill" as a gift.
You must know that as a son of the Chen family, after the successful foundation building, the family only gave him a small congratulations because of the special environment of the magic invasion at that time.
At that time, the gift given to him by the ancestor of the Chen family~lightnovelpub.net~ was even just a third-order mid-grade amulet, which was completely incomparable to the gift given to Zhou Yang today. This made him, who didn't know the inside story, how could he not be jealous?
At this time, Zhou Yang suddenly revealed the filth in his heart, how could he not panic, how could he not be angry?
After all, he is also a successful cultivator. Although he was flustered and annoyed in his heart, he still looked at Zhou Yang with a calm face and replied: "What does Daoyou Zhou mean? Is there something wrong with Chen's words? Do you think that Chen is not even qualified to ask questions?"
Zhou Yang had been observing the change in Chen Fangli's expression all the time, but when he heard his somewhat stern answer, he immediately knew that this was all done by Chen Fangli and had nothing to do with the Chen family.
Therefore, his expression immediately eased, and he looked at Chen Fangli with a smile and said, "Young Daoist Chen is right, there are too many problems in your words!"
After he finished speaking, he didn't wait for Chen Fangli to ask any questions, he just said aloud: "Let all Daoists who came to attend Zhou's celebration laugh, Zhou is not talented, and it has only been more than ten years since the foundation was established. The four words of [Supernatural Powers] are really ashamed!"
"But fortunately, due to the fate of Zhou, he did follow some seniors in the work of eliminating demons and defending the way, and killed a few demons of the foundation-building stage who betrayed immortals and entered the devil. In this case, several seniors of Huangshamen , and Old Ancestor Chen Senior Chen, they are all insiders!"
After saying this, Zhou Yang didn't look at the changes in the faces of the cultivators who heard about it for the first time. He just looked at Chen Fangli sharply and said, "Does Zhou's answer still satisfy fellow Daoist Chen?"
