Cultivation Begins From The Desert
v3 Chapter 216: Death of an Elder
The turmoil that the old patriarch Zhou Minghan exchanged for the Foundation Establishment Pill did not last long before it subsided.
After calmly thinking about it, most of the Zhou family wanted to understand the importance of this matter, and turned to support this rule.
As for a few people who don't understand or support it, they can only hold back and cannot control the overall situation.
Zhou Yang personally sat and monitored the entire Yuquan Peak for nearly a month. After catching several people who were secretly talking about their words and punished them, no one dared to talk about the foundation-building monks who attacked the family.
"Xiao Jiu, thank you, thank you for giving Yao'er this opportunity!"
On Haoyang Mountain, when Zhou Yang came here to visit Zhou Xuanyu, his adoptive mother, Zhou Xuanyu, who had already heard the news, couldn't help but thank him with a grateful face and choked up his hands.
Behind Zhou Xuanyu, Zhou Yuanyao stepped forward and hugged Zhou Yang from behind with a look of excitement and said, "Ninth brother, you are the best, Yaoer knows that you love Yaoer the most!"
"The adoptive mother is serious. You should thank the great-grandfather. His old man made a lot of sacrifices for this matter!"
Zhou Yang looked at his adoptive mother Zhou Xuanyu with a look of emotion, but he understood the mood of the adoptive mother at this time.
Although this adoptive mother succeeded in building a foundation, the meaning of foundation building to her is still a lifetime regret.
This time, the old patriarch Zhou Minghan exchanged the foundation pill for Zhou Yuanyao, finally helping her make up for this regret and repair the invisible crack in the hearts of the grandparents and grandchildren.
Then he lifted his hands back again, dragged Zhou Yuanyao, who was hanging on his back, down to look at the girl and said, "And Yao'er, although you are only one step away from the ninth level of Qi training, you must not arrive immediately. At the ninth level of Qi training, I was in a hurry to take the Foundation Building Pill to attack the foundation."
"You must know that there is only one chance. If you are not fully prepared and rashly attack the foundation, if there is an accident, it will not only be a regret for you, but also your foster mother and great-grandfather. Your failure has been criticized by other clansmen!"
Zhou Yuanyao is a middle-grade spiritual root. Even if he takes the foundation building pill, the success rate of foundation building is 60-70%. Although this probability is not low, there is still a possibility of failure.
If it fails, the Zhou family will not be able to provide her with a second Foundation Establishment Pill, even if her mother is a Foundation Establishment cultivator and her great-grandfather is a Foundation Establishment cultivator.
Therefore, Zhou Yang had to warn this clan girl who was twice his age, so that she could understand the meaning of this foundation building pill.
"Don't worry, Xiao Jiu, the adoptive mother and your great-grandfather will look at Yao'er. We won't give her the Foundation Establishment Pill now. We will hand it over to her only after we are sure that her condition has met the requirements of the Foundation Establishment. in hand!"
Zhou Xuanyu naturally understands what Zhou Yang is worried about. Zhou Yuanyao has lived with the Zhou family's foundation-building stage monks since she was a child, and has a close relationship with several Zhou family's foundation-building stage monks. 's pet.
This means that although she is almost forty, she has never gone out to practice except for the last time she participated in the battle for the expansion of the new oasis, and her personality cannot be completely reassured.
So Zhou Xuanyu has even decided that when Zhou Yuanyao reaches the ninth level of Qi practice, he will take her to other large oases to practice for five or six years. base.
And although Zhou Yuanyao is a little squeamish, she has listened to Zhou Yang's words since she was a child. At this time, she nodded quickly and said, "Yes, Ninth brother, don't worry, Yao'er will not disappoint her mother, Grandpa Zeng and your trust and expectations. , will definitely become a Foundation Establishment cultivator!"
"It's good that you understand this."
Zhou Yang nodded, and then told his adoptive mother, Zhou Xuanyu, that she had to move to the new oasis to live in seclusion.
Zhou Xuanyu agreed to this matter more than nine years ago, but he has been in seclusion for all these years, and there is no past. Now, when he hears his old story again, of course, he agreed to this matter without any opinion.
However, Zhou Yuanyao was asked by Zhou Yang to stay on Haoyang Mountain and continue to study alchemy with his father Zhou Xuanhao.
Of course he did it for a reason.
Since he brought Xiao Ying back to Zhou's house, Zhou Yuanyao has been very unhappy. She felt that Xiao Ying stole her ninth brother, and she expressed her dissatisfaction overtly and secretly.
Zhou Yang understood what Zhou Yuanyao's mentality was, so he deliberately did not let the two women meet each other all these years, and he also tried to appear in front of Zhou Yuanyao as little as possible, using this method to weaken Zhou Yuanyao's attachment and admiration for him.
Although Zhou Xuanyu had the idea of matching her daughter and Zhou Yang before, but since Zhou Yang brought Xiao Ying back, she put out this idea and turned to support Zhou Yang's decision.
Not to mention Zhou Xuanhao, in order to cooperate with Zhou Yang, he specially assigned Zhou Yuanyao a lot of alchemy tasks, so that he would not have time to think wildly.
These elders united to oppose this matter. Zhou Yuanyao didn't know that she was out of the game, so although she felt wronged in her heart, she had no choice but to suppress the thought in her heart and silently chose to accept her fate.
This time is no exception.
After talking about Zhou Xuanyu's going to the new oasis to live in seclusion, Zhou Yang went to see the "Earth Spirit Milk" under Haoyang Mountain. After decades of recuperation, the stalactite column has produced "Earth Spirit Milk" again. ' sign.
Since this item is one of the necessary auxiliary spiritual items for refining the foundation pill, Zhou Yang still attaches great importance to this item.
Now that there is a sign of "diyuan spirit milk" being produced again, he immediately sent a message to ask Zhou Guangxiang, who was practicing in Chihuling, to come to Haoyang Mountain, and set up a water-proof array in the underground stone room to protect the stalactites, so as not to " After the "Earth Origin Spirit Milk" overflowed, it was diluted by the river water.
Zhou Guangxiang is now a second-tier high-grade array mage. He has mastered all the arrays collected by the Zhou family, except for the third-tier arrays. It is not too easy to set up a water-avoiding array.
After dealing with the "Earth Spirit Milk", Zhou Yang rushed back to Chihu Ridge with his adoptive mother Zhou Xuanyu and Zhou Guangxiang.
Back at Chihu Ridge, Zhou Yang asked his adoptive mother, Zhou Xuanyu, to wait outside the mountain for a while, while he went back to the cave first, ready to give Xiao Ying a vaccinate to prepare her mentally.
Unexpectedly, when he returned to the Ziyun Cave, he saw Xiao Ying sleeping soundly on the bed in the bedroom. On the girl, a moon-white butterfly with a wingspan of six or seven feet was covering the girl like a quilt. .
Zhou Yang is no stranger to this moon-white butterfly. It is the "Phantom Jade Butterfly", the culprit that caused the poisoning of hundreds of mortals in Yeguang Town.
So when he first saw this scene, he was so frightened that he thought there was something wrong with the girl.
Fortunately, the next moment he found out that the girl's aura was normal, so he didn't immediately slash the demon with his sword.
However, his sudden intrusion, as well as the mana fluctuations that spilled out from his fright just now, still disturbed the "Illusionary Jade Butterfly" on the bed, frightened the monster's body with a flash of white light, and instantly turned into a white light and hid in it. into the Wen Yu bed under Xiao Ying.
At the same time, Xiao Ying, who was sleeping soundly, also woke up with a loud bang.
Seeing this, Zhou Yang felt a little relieved, and then he quickly stepped forward to help the girl up and asked, "Ying'er, what happened just now? Why is that [Phantom Jade Butterfly] lying on top of you?"
"Ah, Zhou Lang, did you say Xiaodie? I was doing an experiment just now. I found that Xiaodie's [Dream Art] can not only be used to attack the enemy, but also help people realize all kinds of good wishes in their dreams. The role of tempering the mind!"
Xiao Ying first screamed, and then answered Zhou Yang's question with a smile on her face.
"Xiaodie? Could it be that [Illusory Jade Butterfly] was accepted as a spiritual pet by you?"
Zhou Yang's face was startled, but he immediately grasped the point.
"Yeah, at that time, the concubine originally wanted to remove Xiaodie according to Zhou Lang's instructions, but Xiaodie was very timid and afraid of death. When he saw the concubine, he was frightened and stupid, and then used it. The talent [Dream Art] created an illusion and begged me for mercy, I saw it was pitiful, so I agreed to accept it as a spiritual pet!"
Xiao Ying nodded lightly, and then explained her process of subduing the "Illusory Jade Butterfly".
When Zhou Yang listened to her words, his heart skipped a beat.
"It's too rash! How can you be so rash? It's a monster, what if it just confuses you with illusions? How can you trust it so easily and let it cast spells on you!"
He looked at the girl with an annoyed expression. He was so annoyed that the girl believed in a monster so credulously.
"Illusory Jade Butterfly" is also a second-order high-grade monster. If it really kills Xiao Ying while she is intoxicated with the illusion, even if Xiao Ying is a foundation-building cultivator, she may not be able to survive the sneak attack.
The girl didn't mind his anger at all, she just smiled and said: "No, Zhou Lang, have you forgotten my [Du'er Qinglian] supernatural ability? Xiaodie wants to hurt me while I'm in a dream. It is impossible for me to break the body protection and hurt me."
Hearing her say this, Zhou Yang just remembered that the "Du'er Qinglian" supernatural power on the "Qinghua Du'er Zhenjing" practiced by young girls has a feature that many exercises do not have with supernatural powers, that is, automatic protection. host.
As long as the girl is in danger, this magical power will automatically activate the protector. If the "Illusory Jade Butterfly" dares to harm the girl's body while she is sleeping, it will definitely stimulate the magical power.
Thinking of this, his expression softened a little, and helplessly hugged the girl in his arms and patted the girl's head: "Okay, this time you are reasonable, but don't take such risks in the future, even if you want to do an experiment, no matter what. Let someone protect you!"
The girl enjoyed his move very much, and she couldn't help but slightly nodded her eyes and said, "Well, my concubine remembers what Zhou Lang said."
Seeing this, Zhou Yang took the opportunity to tell the story of his adoptive mother, Zhou Xuanyu.
He speaks very skillfully. First, he used the method of storytelling to tell Zhou Xuanyu's deeds in detail before he fell into the devil, and let Xiao Ying have sympathy and compassion for this adoptive mother, and then how Zhou Xuanyu was forced into desperation. After entering the devil's way, how people are in the devil's way and the immortal way are explained one by one.
In the end, he hugged the girl's delicate body and said in a low voice, "Although her adoptive mother was forced to enter the devil's way, my husband can swear to you that after she returned to the family, she never hurt an innocent person again. People, she has absolutely nothing to do with those vicious demon monks!"
"Zhou Lang needn't say more, the concubine believes in you, let's go to see the adoptive mother now!"
The girl got up from Daolu's arms, and put her jade hand on Zhou Yang's mouth, blocking what he was going to say, and looked at him with an affectionate expression on her face.
A thousand words are worse than "I believe in you".
Zhou Yang was shocked when he heard the girl's words, a feeling of "if you have a wife like this, what can a husband ask for?", he clenched the girl's jade hand with emotion and gratitude on his face and said, "Ying'er. Don't worry, if I, Zhou Yang, have failed you in this life, I will teach me to strike thunder and strike, and I will not die!"
After the two of them cuddled with each other and watched affectionately for a long time, they walked out of the cave holding hands with smiles on their faces, and personally welcomed Zhou Xuanyu to the Ziyun Cave as a guest.
Then Zhou Xuanyu, representing the late Zhou's mother Lin Yuting, received tea from Xiao Ying's daughter-in-law.
However, Zhou Xuanyu did not live in Chihu Ridge next, but went to live in seclusion in a mortal town.
She is a Gorefiend cultivator, and the blessed land of Lingshan does not help her in her cultivation. The reason why she practiced in Haoyang Mountain before was just to sit in Lingshan for her family.
Now that every third-order spiritual mountain in the Zhou family has foundation-building cultivators in charge, she naturally doesn't need to do this kind of thing anymore.
After going through Zhou Xuanyu's incident, Zhou Yang and Xiao Ying's relationship took another step forward. He also deeply realized that he cared too little about Taoist companions and accompanied them too little.
So for the next six months, he didn't do anything. He accompany Xiao Ying on a tour of the surrounding world of immortals, and even went to the Baisha River oasis.
On this day, Zhou Yang and Xiao Ying had just finished their half-year-long travel trip and returned to the Red Fox Mountains to practice for a few days, but the old patriarch Zhou Minghan summoned him to Yuquan Peak with a message from a flying sword.
"This child Yuan Jing has just been promoted to become a clan elder, this time the clan sent him to be the shopkeeper in Yuquan Building, firstly to exercise his management ability, and secondly, because Xuanjin is old, he has applied to the family many times. I want to return to my family and wait for the deadline to come!"
"But now almost half a year has passed, and he hasn't arrived at the Baishahe Oasis yet to complete the handover with Xuanjin. Judging from the experience of this old man, he is most likely to be more fortunate than lucky!"
On Yuquan Peak, UU reading www.uukanshu.com Zhou Yang had just arrived here when the old patriarch Zhou Minghan called him to the cave to explain the reason for calling him here.
Zhou Yuanjing is Zhou Yang's starling in terms of seniority. It has only been less than three years since he was promoted to the ninth level of Qi training and became a clan elder. He was able to advance to the ninth level of Qi training. He was completely touched by the prosperity of the Zhou family. Have this practice.
Zhou Yang didn't expect that this starling finally became the clan elder and just fell outside.
A clan elder died for no apparent reason. No wonder Zhou Minghan wanted to call him back to the clan.
After listening to Zhou Minghan's words at this time, he thought a hundred times and suddenly asked, "How is the magical equipment on his body?"
When Zhou Minghan heard the words, he immediately said: "According to the records found by the old man from the family, Yuan Jing should have two high-grade second-grade attacking instruments, one high-grade second-grade defensive instrument, nine high-grade second-grade spiritual talismans, and more. There is a second-order middle-grade puppet beast!"
The Zhou family can be said to be strong and strong now. The family has several third-order artifact refiners, third-order alchemists, and a third-order talisman master, and there are no shortage of all kinds of magical talismans. As the clan elder, Zhou Yuanjing is of course not weak.
"Mynah, he is also an old man of the family with rich fighting skills. He has such equipment on his body. Generally, there are two or three people with the same cultivation level as him, and they may not be able to kill him. This is strange!"
Zhou Yang said his inference slowly, and looked at the old patriarch Zhou Minghan, and both saw a look of worry in the other's eyes.
