Cultivation Begins From The Desert

The bumps caused by chasing the [Golden Rat] all the way when he came, almost left a psychological shadow on Zhou Yang, so when he returned, at his repeated request, the old man Zhou Quan could only slow down and accompany him to return slowly. It took almost two days to return to Qingping Mountain Oasis.

At this time, the Qingping Mountain Oasis is already in chaos, because the [Golden Rat] killed 20 or 30 miners, and Zhou Yang, the monk who was stationed, disappeared again, and Zhou Bao, who was not officially appointed by any family The temporary replacement could not hold back the situation at all, and could not appease the surviving miners who were frightened.

In the end, he was so stubborn that he could only stay on Qingping Mountain, watching those miners messing around in the camp and venting his fear and anger, there was nothing he could do.

When Zhou Yang and Zhou Quan came back and saw this situation, they were really angry and funny, and they were speechless for a while.

There was no way, Zhou Yang could only come forward to clean up the mess in person.

While Zhou Yang was cleaning up the mess, the old man Zhou Quan was already so angry that he rushed into Qingping Mountain and slapped Zhou Bao, who was greeted with joy on his face, with a slap.

"What a waste, you are also a fourth-level qi cultivator, and some mortals will let you hide in the formation and stare blankly. What is the use of the magic weapon in your hand? The spells you cultivate are all used To play tricks on children?"

The old man looked at his aggrieved grandson with a face full of hatred. The saliva from his mouth sprayed Zhou Bao all over his face.

However, Zhou Bao, an old and hard-working guy, is still a stubborn person. Hearing the old man's remonstrance, he also defended with aggrieved face: "Grandpa, you are wrong on me, the family has rules, it is strictly forbidden for monks to hurt the mortals of the family, and those people can't be. If you don't listen to me, I'll kill them, right?"

When the old man heard his words, his anger went up and he couldn't help but slap his grandson's face on the other side, and scolded angrily: "Kill, kill, you Are you timid and dare to kill? Open your eyes to this old man and see how Xiao Jiu solves the problem? Apart from his age, what else can you do to keep up with others?"

I wasn't as good as the ninth brother!

Zhou Bao felt extremely aggrieved in his heart, but he didn't dare to talk back. He obediently used the "Sky Eye Technique" to look at the miners camp outside the mountain to see how Zhou Yang dealt with those miners.

Zhou Yang's method of cleaning up the miners was very simple. He directly took out the "Red Flame Sword" and turned it into a sword light to drive the miners to an open place, and then threw the body of the [Golden Rat] in front of the miners. .

"Did you see it? This is the man-eating monster, and now it's dead!"

"I know you are afraid, afraid of being eaten by monsters, but fear is not the reason for you wantonly destroying the family property!"

"Now I'll give you a chance to pack up the camp for me immediately, and honestly wait for the family's follow-up arrangements for you, otherwise I will report what you have done in the past two days to the family, and suggest that the family deprive you of your surnames and You and your wives, children, and children are all expelled from the family!"

A first-order spell "Voiceless Art" with a calming and refreshing effect made Zhou Yang's cold voice clearly reach the ears of every miner, reaching the depths of their minds.

Under the effect of the "voiceless technique", the miners' minds were unprecedentedly sober, and the family rules that they had recited since childhood also quickly emerged in their sober brains, and then they all broke out in cold sweats, full of panic and fear. He looked at the young immortal master standing next to the monster's corpse.

Although the Zhou family rules strictly forbid the family cultivators to kill the family mortals, but they also do not allow the family mortals to destroy the family's spiritual resources. Once a mortal violates this rule, it will be killed at light level, deprived of surname at worst, and the whole family will be exiled.

Deprived of their surnames, they are no longer members of the Zhou family, and they are not sheltered by the Zhou family cultivator. If the Zhou family cultivator killed them with one sword, it would not be considered a violation of family rules.

And if the whole family is exiled, in the vast sand sea, there is not enough food and water, and within three days, their entire family will be killed!

"Forgive your life, Lord Immortal Master, spare your life!"

"We were wrong, we knew we were wrong, Immortal Master, please forgive us this time, we will never dare!"

"I am wronged, Master Xianshi, I have been in the barracks for the past two days, and I have not participated in the destruction of the camp at all. Lord Xianshi, you have such a discerning eye, I am really wronged!"

In an instant, all the miners who wanted to understand the consequences of the incident were all kneeling and kowtowing to the ground desperately, begging for mercy, and there was no trace of the madness like the desperadoes before.

On Qingping Mountain, Zhou Bao stared at this scene with wide eyes, and was just dumbfounded.

Seeing this, the old man Zhou Quan took the opportunity to educate his grandson and said, "Have you seen it? Now you know how stupid what you said before? If you deal with a mere gang of mortals, you have to fight and kill them. What's the difference between that and the sand bandits? Why do you think the family doesn't teach other spells, but asks you to learn those first-order spells that don't seem to be helpful to your fighting skills since you were young?"

Zhou Bao was speechless. Although he gave up his mind, he was not a real fool. The facts were right in front of him, and he could not tolerate any more denials and excuses.

"Let's study hard, you are not too old, you need to use your brain more in the future. If you encounter something that is not easy to decide, remember to ask Xiao Jiu more and listen to his opinion before making a decision!"

After all, he was his own grandson, and the old man couldn't bear to beat and scold him again. He could only sigh and give priority to persuasion, hoping to make some changes.

At this time, Zhou Yang waited for the miners' heads to be smashed and covered in blood before agreeing to forgive them for their mistake this time, and then waved to disperse these people and let them clean up the messy oasis camp. The corpse of the [Golden Rat] on the ground returned to Qingping Mountain.

"It's a good thing to give both kindness and power. First use clan rules to threaten and intimidate him, and then use kindness to calm his heart. Xiao Jiu, you understand this truth at a young age. Later, the clan will be handed over to you. I believe you will be older than us. Guys are better!"

In front of his own grandson, the old man Zhou Quan also bluntly said that he was optimistic about Zhou Yang as the next patriarch, and Zhou Bao was not jealous at all when he heard it.

The position of the family patriarch was originally reserved for the able ones. Although Zhou Bao was a little naive, he still had self-knowledge. There were 15 people in the Zhou family with the character "Yuan". Even if his Zhou Bao's talents were not at the bottom, they were still at the bottom of the list. Whoever became the patriarch would not be his turn.

"Third grandpa, although these mortal miners have been appeased for the time being, but if you want them to mine again, there is no hope for them in a short time. Therefore, I have to ask you to return to the family and report the situation to the old patriarch. Please ask the family to recruit a new batch of miners to replace them."

Zhou Yang glanced at Zhou Bao, whose cheeks were blushing silently beside him. The smart one didn't ask anything, and directly stated his request to the old man Zhou Quan.

"Don't worry about this, the old man will definitely help you get this done when you go back."

The old man nodded slightly, and easily answered Zhou Yang's request.

After taking another day's rest in Qingping Mountain like this, Zhou Quan and Zhou Bao, their grandfathers and grandsons, rode the Shatuo beast and returned to the family while Zhou Yang watched them off.

After sending off the old man and grandson of Zhou Quan, Zhou Yang finally had time to deal with the harvest of this trip.

He first peeled the skin and bones of the [Golden Rat] body, and preserved all the rat skin, rat teeth, rat claws, rat bones, and rat eyes that could be refined, and the rat meat was paired with [Golden Pearl Rice] Make a spiritual meal to improve the meal.

Then he set up a red copper cauldron made by himself, and threw the rat droppings the size of grapes into the cauldron, then added spring water, added charcoal, and slowly boiled it.

After boiling all the thousands of mouse feces in this way, Zhou Yang got dozens of kilograms of metal sand.

These dozens of kilograms of metal sand grains are not the special spiritual gold that Zhou Yang wants, and further extraction is needed, but the next extraction will test the craftsman's skills.

In order to extract the special spiritual gold in these metal sand grains, Zhou Yang replaced the first-grade high-grade magic cauldron used in his refining, and took out dozens of slap-sized pieces of fiery red charcoal and stuffed them under the cauldron. , set it on fire with a spell.

This fiery red charcoal is made from a kind of spiritual wood called [Yanyang Wood]. Ten pieces of charcoal the size of a palm is worth a low-grade spiritual stone, which is extremely precious.

[Yanyang Wood] is a second-order spiritual wood that only grows near active volcanoes and ground fire magma. After igniting it, the flame produced is white in color, comparable to the real fire mastered by monks in the foundation-building period.

Usually, when the alchemist or alchemist in the Qi training period is quenching some materials with high temperature requirements, if there is no ground fire available, UU Kanshu www.uukanshu.com will burn the charcoal fired by [Yanyang Wood] to Increase flame temperature.

The [Yanyang Wood] in Zhou Yang's hands was the last time he asked his elder brother Zhou Qi to return to the family with the first-order magical artifact he had refined. In order to make him reach the second-order artifact refiner as soon as possible, the old patriarch Zhou Minghan, It was specially taken from the family treasury and brought to him by old man Zhou Quan.

At this time, as dozens of pieces of [Yanyang Wood] were lit together, a hot incandescent flame suddenly rose from the bottom of the vessel. The temperature of this incandescent flame was extremely high. After being on the stove for a long time, I was also sweating profusely.

But at this time, Zhou Yang had no time to do such trivial things as wiping sweat. He released his consciousness and put it into the vessel, and he could clearly see that the metal sand inside was slowly melting, and his job required Continuously use the refining method to shave off those impurities in the metal solution, and finally leave only the special spiritual gold that you need.

This kind of work is a great test of the refiner's eyesight and timing control ability, and it also consumes a lot of consciousness and mana. With Zhou Yang's sixth-level Qi practice, he only insisted on it for less than half an hour, and then he felt dizzy and dizzy. Weak, I had to put out the fire to suspend the extraction.

It took several days like this, and after several extractions, Zhou Yang finally extracted the special spiritual gold from all the metal sand grains, and finally harvested a palm-sized piece of dark golden spiritual gold.

This palm-sized piece of dark-golden spirit gold has a similar weight to that of refined iron, but its hardness is higher than that of second-order spirit-gold and profound iron. If it were to be considered in terms of quality, it was at least a third-order spirit item.

This was the first time that Zhou Yang had obtained a spiritual object of this level, and it was from his own hands. For a while, he was quite fond of holding it in his hands and playing around, his face was full of joy.
