The Lu family finally compromised.

They can't compromise!

As soon as they come, the two have already handed over the bottom line. If they can't reach an agreement, who knows if the Zhou family will let them see the sun tomorrow?

Second, although I knew that the Zhou family let their father and son marry the daughters of the Zhou family to set up a family, they wanted to influence and control their Lu family through this marriage. But looking at it the other way around, if the descendants of the Lu family had half the blood of the Zhou family, it would definitely be easier to get the care and support of the Zhou family in the future.

You must know that even if some small families want to become vassals of a big family like the Zhou family, the Zhou family may not be willing to accept it!

And as they agreed to the Zhou family's conditions, Zhou Yang and Zhou Minghan also swore in front of the Lu family's father and son that they would never do anything to kill the donkey. Naturally, this kind of oath of Taoism cannot be reassuring to sign the "Netherworld Blood Pact", but it does have a certain binding force on the cultivator.

After Zhou Yang and Zhou Minghan swore their vows, Lu Hushan came forward and took Zhou Minghan to the oasis to check the situation.

As for Zhou Yang, he is now the patriarch of the Zhou family, and he is also the limelight who just held the foundation-building celebration. It is definitely inconvenient to leave the family at this time.

After more than a month in this way, Zhou Minghan brought Lu Hushan back to Yuquan Peak.

"The old man has already figured out the situation. The oasis is exactly as Lu's father and son said, and it is extremely suitable for human habitation. The old man preliminarily estimated that if the oasis can be fully developed, the land area there will not be enough to feed 100,000 mortals. The problem." "Although the area of ​​the oasis is not as large as that of the Yuquan Lake oasis, it has one natural third-order low-grade spiritual vein and two second-order middle-grade spiritual veins. This condition is much better than that of the Yuquan Lake Oasis, plus The entire oasis is hidden by the natural magic formation, and the security is extremely high!"

"But the problem now is that the third-order monster occupying that oasis is a third-level high-grade monster [Three-Tailed Demon Fox]. You know how powerful this exotic beast is. Even before Chen Ping'an opened up the Purple Mansion, I don’t dare to say that I can win this same-level monster, let alone two other third-level monsters that are enslaved and driven by it!”

On Yuquan Peak, after Zhou Minghan came back and put down Lu Hushan, he and Zhou Yang entered his cave and talked about his experience of going out.

Zhou Yang originally had a look of joy on his face when he heard him say the first two paragraphs, but after hearing his last paragraph, his face instantly became a little ugly.

Of course, he knew the name of the "Three-Tailed Demon Fox". This fox demon is an atavistic variant of the fox demon beasts. Its strength is comparable to the Jiaolong of the same rank, and there is still the possibility of continuous evolution.

It is said that if the "three-tailed demon fox" can evolve into a sixth-order demon king, it can grow three more fox tails and become a "six-tailed spirit fox" stronger than the dragon of the same order.

The most important thing is that this "three-tailed demon fox" is not only powerful in itself, but also far more intelligent than ordinary monsters of the same rank. From this point of view, since its current strength is only a high-rank third-rank, it knows how to enslave the other three like a fourth-rank monster. Rank monsters can be seen as their subordinates.

To deal with such a powerful monster, to be honest, it is simply impossible to do it with the current strength of the Zhou family.

Of course, these are not the reasons that make Zhou Yang look ugly. The real reason that makes Zhou Yang look ugly is that because this matter involves an unexpanded oasis, it is impossible for them to ask for foreign aid as they did with the water demon last time.

The last time they dealt with the water demon, they dared to invite Chen Ping'an to kill the demon. First, it was because Haoyang Grotto belonged to their Zhou family. Second, it was a third-order spiritual mountain without an oasis. It was not enough for Chen Ping'an to be peaceful. The Chen family pulled their faces down and snatched them away.

But this time the situation was different. This time the oasis occupied by the "three-tailed demon fox" was a vast undeveloped oasis.

Such an undeveloped medium-sized oasis with third-order natural spiritual veins is of great value.

As for how much this value is, the realistic template is the Zhou family of Yuquan Lake. If Zhou Yuquan, the ancestor of the Zhou family, discovered the undeveloped oasis of Yuquan Lake, how could the Zhou family have established this foundation?

If the Chen family can obtain such a medium-sized oasis outside the Baisha River oasis, which can establish a foundation for thousands of years, in the future, there will be no Zifu period monks in the family. There is a way out that will not cut off the family inheritance.

In the face of such great interests, what is the mere face?

Not to mention the Chen family, even the monks of Huangshamen, are not necessarily reliable in the face of such interests.

After all, such an oasis is enough to lay the foundation of a thousand-year-old family. Who can guarantee that the monks who come to help will keep their promises in the face of the temptation of such an entire oasis?

You must know that Zhou Yuquan, the founder of the Yuquan Zhou family, was also a monk of Huangshamen back then!

"Let's put this matter down for now. When our grandson's cultivation reaches the late stage of foundation building and his father's injuries have recovered, it will not be too late for us to develop that oasis. By then, Guangxiang and the other junior monks will also grow up. , you can also contribute to the expansion action!"

"As for the father and son of the Lu family, let them stay on Yuquan Peak to practice for the time being. If they want to marry and have children, they are free to let them go, but before my Zhou family occupies that oasis, we can't let them leave Yuquan Peak! "

Zhou Yang thought for a long time with a heavy expression on his face, and then he let out a sigh of relief and expressed his opinion.

With his various means, if he can achieve the same level as that "three-tailed demon fox" in terms of cultivation, it would not be difficult to kill him. Then, with the help of Zhou Minghan, Zhou Xuanhao, and Zhou Xuanyu, he will win. That oasis is basically a bet.

However, with his current cultivation base, it would take twenty or thirty years under the most optimistic circumstances to wait until his cultivation base reaches the late stage of foundation establishment.

"Hey, that's all there is to it!"

Zhou Minghan sighed and did not object to Zhou Yang's opinion.

In fact, there was something in his heart that he didn't say, that is, he was worried about his longevity, and he might not wait for the day when Zhou Yang Xiuwei reached the later stage of foundation establishment.

After all, he didn't know that Zhou Yang could use "Ganyang Immortal Light" to get rid of erysipelas.

He just calculated based on his own experience that it would take at least 40 years for Zhou Yang to upgrade from the current third-layer foundation building to the seventh-layer foundation building, and his remaining life essence is exactly this number!

The matter of the new oasis is of great importance. The only people in the Zhou family who know the complete situation of this matter are the three foundation-building cultivators, Zhou Yang and his son, and Zhou Minghan, not even Zhou Xuanyu.

Zhou Xuantai, the first person who had contact with Lu's father and son, also knew little about it, and was banned by Zhou Minghan from talking about it to others.

As for Lu's father and son, according to Zhou Yang's arrangement, the two were temporarily confined to Yuquan Peak.

Fortunately, these two are sensible, and they know what the Zhou family is banning them for. They don't want to use their lives to test the Zhou family's bottom line. Dozens of mortal women from the Zhou family were busy making people.

After letting go of the new oasis, Zhou Yang and Zhou Minghan began to work on another major task, which was to upgrade the spiritual veins at the Haoyang Cave.

At the foundation building ceremony, Zhou’s family exchanged seven or eight thousand spiritual stones for two third-order instruments, plus the private savings of Zhou Yang and Zhou Minghan, as well as the spiritual stone reserves on the family’s public treasury, to increase the spiritual pulse. The 30,000 spirit stones of the order were collected.

It is not difficult to upgrade the spiritual veins, but the difficult thing is the spiritual stone.

It takes 30,000 low-grade spirit stones to upgrade a low-grade third-grade spiritual vein to middle-grade third-grade, and at least 80,000 spirit stones are needed to upgrade a middle-grade third-grade spiritual vein like Yuquan Peak to high-grade third-grade!

With the current size and financial resources of the Zhou family, if a few foundation-building cultivators get together, it is possible to upgrade a low-grade third-grade spiritual vein like Haoyang Grotto to a middle-grade third-grade spiritual vein.

But to say that it is necessary to upgrade the third-order middle-grade spiritual veins to the third-order high-grade spiritual veins, it is really beyond the reach.

The Spirit Gathering Formation in Haoyang Grotto was long ago when Zhou Yang was in retreat, and Zhou Xuantai, the only second-order formation mage in the Zhou family, personally explored and selected the layout location.

This time, after Zhou Yang made the decision to upgrade the spiritual veins, he immediately took Zhou Guangxiang, who had learned the skills of the formation technique with him, and began to set up the spirit gathering formation there.

Not to mention the formation talent, most of the formation masters in the cultivation world are earth and water cultivators.

The earth-type spiritual power is thick and stable, the water-type spiritual power is good at changing, and its stability is second only to the earth-type among the five elements. These characteristics can improve the success rate of formation.

Zhou Guangxiang is a top-grade spiritual root cultivator with both earth and wood attributes of the spiritual root attribute~lightnovelpub.net~ is also practicing the earth-based cultivation technique, which just meets the screening conditions of the formation master, and he himself seems to be quite interested in the formation technique. .

According to Zhou Xuantai, it is hard to say whether his formation talent exceeds that of Zhou Guangqian, the former great elder of the Zhou family, but he must be higher than his master, and there is still great hope to become a third-order formation mage in the future.

There is no such thing as a high-grade Linggen cultivator who did not reach the ninth level of Qi training before the age of sixty. Zhou Guangxiang is only in his early fourteenth this year, and his cultivation is already at the fourth level. It will not be difficult to replicate Zhou Yang’s cultivation speed in the future. .

Therefore, Zhou Yang still agrees with Zhou Guangxiang's distraction to learn the formation technique. The Zhou family really needs a good formation mage to serve the family.

In fact, it’s not just Zhou Guangxiang. The Zhou family’s “Yuan” and “Guang” cultivators who were born later have already shown interest in cultivating immortals and various arts, and have been arranged to learn these skills with the elders of each family. .

For example, Zhou Yuanyao, Zhou Yang's sister-in-law, and another "Fengyuelou" origin, a mid-grade spiritual root cultivator Zhou Guangkun, who is also a fire and wood spiritual root attribute, are now following his father Zhou Xuanhao's side to learn alchemy.

Zhou Guangxiang's twin sister, Zhou Xiang, was arranged to go to the medicine garden to learn the skills of spiritual planting with Zhou Xuanchen, the steward of the medicine garden, because of the fact that the spirit root is partial to wood and earth.

Other skills such as refining, making talismans, beast taming, spirit brewing, etc., are now also learned and inherited by the younger generation.

Half of the spiritual stones that the Zhou family had earned over the past few years were spent on cultivating these juniors. If Zhou Minghan was in charge of the family, he would definitely not invest so much at once.

But Zhou Yang is different. The knowledge of Zhou Yang's previous life tells him that technical matters can only become bigger and stronger in the later stage only if he is willing to invest capital in the early stage.
