Cultivation Begins From The Desert
v3 Chapter 200: serious problem
The Zhou family's problem is indeed serious.
Zhou Yang paid more attention to mortals than almost all Zhou family cultivators, so after hearing Zhou Xuankun talk about this, he immediately flew to the places where mortals lived on the oasis of Yuquan Lake.
After on-the-spot investigation, he found that the number of mortals on the Yuquan Lake Oasis in the Zhou family had exceeded 200,000, and among them, there were as many as 30,000 to 40,000 mortals between the ages of one and sixteen!
Obviously, these mortals were born in recent years.
According to the growth data of the Zhou family mortals he had seen before, the number of mortals born in the Zhou family in the past would not exceed 800 people each year.
"Population!"
Zhou Yang sighed in his heart when he saw this scene.
In most countries in the Immortal Cultivation World of Floating Cloud Continent, each immortal clan is eager to increase the number of mortals in the family.
But in the boundless sand sea cultivation world, even the Zifu family that occupies a large oasis like the Chen family would not dare to let the mortals of the family let go.
The level of medical and health care in this world may not be as good as that in his previous life, but there are immortal cultivators, there are all kinds of powerful elixir, and the mortality rate of mortals born and infants is not high.
If a woman of the Zhou family is pregnant, as long as she drinks a bowl of spiritual water dipped in spiritual energy before giving birth, it can greatly increase the chance of a natural birth.
And this kind of spiritual water with spiritual energy has no cost at all, as long as it is the spring water on Yuquan Peak, it will have this effect!
Even the Zhou family would take out some "golden pearl rice" every year and boil it into porridge water in a large pot for pregnant women and babies to eat. Pregnant women with this white porridge only need to drink a small cup of porridge water without rice grains, and the effect of preventing miscarriage will be slight. No worse than those medicines in Zhou Yang's previous life.
Therefore, if there is no means to control the population, no immortal family in the boundless sand sea cultivation world can support those mortals who have proliferated.
"These mortals have to move halfway. It's just that if the traditional migration method is adopted, and these mortals are allowed to walk in the sand sea by themselves, not to mention how long it will take to cross thousands of miles of desert, even the food and drinking water supply on the road will not be enough. It's hard to solve."
"Well, it seems that we can only wait for the great-grandfather to come back and study with him to see if we can create a desert vehicle similar to a train to migrate these mortals through the means of refining!"
Zhou Yang's thoughts drifted in his heart, and by combining the knowledge of his previous life, he faintly found a feasible solution.
It's just that whether this plan can work or not can only be known after verification.
Before that, he could only ask the monks of the Zhou family to give those mortals more rain to promote the growth of crops, so as to alleviate the food problems of the mortals to some extent.
Then Zhou Yang rode the griffin to the Haoyang Mountain Spirit Vessel.
Since the spiritual meridian of Haoyang Mountain has been upgraded, and the desert lake created by the water monsters, the area of the oasis has suddenly increased many times.
At the beginning, Zhou Yang told Zhou Xuanyan, the late elder of the Zhou family, that he wanted him to create an oasis for 10,000 people to live on and be self-sufficient within 20 years.
Although Zhou Xuanyan passed away now, she has fulfilled her promise to Zhou Yang and successfully created an oasis here.
"The name of this oasis will be called Siyan Oasis in the future, to commemorate the eight aunts who built this oasis!"
Over the Siyan Oasis, Zhou Yang looked at the new oasis with an area of hundreds of square kilometers below, and the mortal town built on the oasis, and suddenly wanted to cry.
He thought of his eight aunt. As the only water-based cultivator in the Zhou family before, this eight aunt was basically a marginal figure in the family for the first half of her life, and was not taken seriously at all, even if her cultivation had never been low. than other siblings.
However, creating an oasis gave her an opportunity to show off her strengths, an opportunity to shine and contribute to her family, and an opportunity to prove herself to all the clansmen!
Therefore, in order to fulfill the heavy trust of the family and to prove his worth, the eight aunt resolutely chose to stick to this yellow sand desert when he was nearly a hundred years old, and silently used his own hands to create a new oasis for the family.
Now that the oasis has been built, Zhou Xuanyan, the eight aunt who built the oasis with one hand, died in Huaxian before returning to him to deliver the task. Zhou Yang thought of this, and his eyes suddenly became wet.
"Bagu, don't worry, I will let everyone in the family know about your deeds and let everyone know that it is not only those who have fought and shed blood for the family who can be called heroes, like you in the back Those who silently contribute to the family are also the heroes of the family, and they are the heroes of the family who are qualified to be listed on the heroic spectrum of the family!"
Small people can also make big contributions. Zhou Yang knew this in his previous life.
Many of the characters who were rated as moving series in previous lives were small people, but among such small people, some people can stick to it for decades, plant trees and create a forest, and achieve big things that many people dare not even think about. !
In the world of practice, his eight aunt Zhou Xuanyan's ninth-level Qi practice is really nothing.
However, through decades of perseverance, she built a desert oasis of hundreds of square kilometers from scratch in the vast sand sea, and achieved something that even a Jindan cultivator could not accomplish at once.
Zhou Yang felt that if he didn't do something for this eight aunt, he would be the patriarch of the Zhou family and the son of man in vain.
And after he made a decision in his heart, when he let the griffin beast carry him to Haoyang Mountain, he saw Zhou Xuanyu, his adoptive mother who had been practicing in seclusion here.
Originally, he should have brought Xiao Ying over to see this adoptive mother, but the demon monks, especially the demon monks of the Blood Demon Sect, had a really bad reputation in the Floating Cloud Continent.
He didn't know how Xiao Ying would view Zhou Xuanyu in her heart after she learned about the inside story, so he put the matter on hold for the time being, and planned to talk about it later.
Anyway, Zhou Xuanyu's life is still very long, so this matter is not in a hurry.
"You know how to find a Taoist partner by yourself, and the goddess is also very happy. The goddess also believes that your vision will not be bad. That girl Ying'er must be a beautiful woman. If there is a chance in the future, I must take her with me. Come to see the godmother, this is also what your mother explained to the godmother before she died!"
On Haoyang Mountain, Zhou Xuanyu looked very happy after learning that Zhou Yang had found a Taoist companion.
She has always treated Zhou Yang as her son. When she saw Zhou Yang found a Taoist companion, she was just like seeing her son find a daughter-in-law. How could she be unhappy.
"Don't worry, godmother, after a few years, Ying'er and the clansmen are familiar with each other, and the boy will find an opportunity to bring her over to see you."
Zhou Yang agreed, and chatted with Zhou Xuanyu for nearly an hour before returning to the Yuquan Lake Oasis on a griffin.
After a few more days like this, Zhou Minghan finally returned to the Yuquan Lake Oasis, and at the same time he brought back Zhou Guangxiang, who had tempered his temperament on the Baisha River Oasis.
"My nephew has seen Ninth Uncle and Ninth Aunt!"
Zhou Guangxiang, who is in his twenties, looks a bit like his father Zhou Bao. He seems a little dull, but his personality completely inherits the personality of his wise mother, and he is very smart.
"Hehe, Guangxiang, your kid is sweet, yes, Jiu Shu didn't hurt you in vain!"
Zhou Yang looked at Zhou Guangxiang, who was only two inches shorter than himself, smiled, and then reached out and patted the nephew's shoulder lightly. Finally, he also enjoyed the benefits of being an elder. addiction.
Zhou Guangxiang was very similar to him in the past. He has been favored by many family elders since he was a child, and he was often called to his side to teach and give benefits.
This is of course a good thing, but every time I go to see the elders, I have to be polite, and I have to be teased by the elders as if they were children. At that time, Zhou Yang also had a headache.
Now, he can finally turn over and take charge of the family, and accept the salute of the talented junior as an elder.
Seriously, it's not a bad feeling!
"Okay, let's talk about the old things later, Xiaojiu, you come with the old man first, the old man has something to tell you, Guangxiang, your kid, go to inform the other clansmen, and say that after two hours, all the clansmen on the mountain, all Gather the old man at the newly built council hall."
Zhou Minghan didn't give Zhou Yang more time to enjoy this feeling~lightnovelpub.net~ and soon interrupted their conversation with a wave of his hand.
When Zhou Yang followed him to his cave, the expression on the old patriarch's face instantly became solemn.
This made him look stunned for a moment, and he couldn't help asking: "What's the matter? Did something happen to you, great-grandfather, when you went out this time?"
"Something really happened!"
Zhou Minghan nodded, and then told the story of his trip.
"This time I went to Baishahe Oasis to spread the news, and the response from each family was very good. Six [Xuanqing Pills] were ordered by several families and some loose cultivators almost on the spot, and many families spread the message that , I want to come to the family to visit you, it should be because I want to inquire about the affairs of the Floating Cloud Continent's Immortal Cultivation World."
"It's just that when the old man went to visit Chen's house, after hearing that you bought the auxiliary materials for refining the foundation pill, Old Ancestor Chen said he didn't want us to repay the loan of 20,000 spirit stones, and used a refining foundation pill instead. Dan's auxiliary materials to pay off the debt, and decided to hold the [Foundation Conference] in three years!"
"Old Ancestor Chen, this is the starting price! For a supplementary material for refining the foundation pill, the cost I bought is as high as 24,000 spirit stones. Even if he is jealous of my harvest this time, there is no need for this. !"
Zhou Yang looked at the old patriarch Zhou Minghan in astonishment, completely not expecting this to happen.
"No, he didn't sit on the ground to raise the price, he wanted to take this opportunity to beat us and tell us not to think that if we had some relationship with Old Ancestor Cao, we would be able to compete with their Chen family in the realm of the Baisha River Immortal Cultivation Realm. One mountain cannot tolerate two tigers, and he has begun to fear our Zhou family!"
Zhou Minghan shook his head and worriedly expressed the true intentions of the ancestor of the Chen family.
Zhou Yang was silent for a while when he heard the words.
