Cultivation Begins From The Desert

The way home was smooth.

A few days after leaving the Qingping Mountain Oasis, Zhou Yang returned to Yuquan Peak after a five-year absence.

When he came down the mountain five years ago, he was just a handsome young man who had just broken through to the sixth level of Qi training.

When he returned five years later, although he was still practicing Qi at the sixth level, the high-spirited young man at the time had grown into a handsome young man who was six feet tall and handsome. (one foot 33cm)

According to the rules of the family, the family cultivator who went out and stationed and returned must first go to the family general affairs elder to report the situation and submit a debriefing report.

Zhou Xuanyu, the seventh elder, is the only female cultivator among the eight elders of the Zhou family, and she is also the highest female cultivator in the Zhou family.

Zhou Xuanyu ranked third in the generation of "xuan" characters. He was the direct descendant of the old patriarch Zhou Minghan. He possessed the qualification of mid-grade spiritual root. If "Foundation Dan" builds a foundation, the probability of foundation building is still quite large.

Unfortunately, as a woman, she is naturally inferior to men in terms of obtaining family resources. Even though she is a direct descendant of the old patriarch Zhou Minghan, in the end, she failed to get all the elders of the family to agree to use the power of the whole family to buy one for her." "Foundation Pill" attacked the foundation.

The high-grade Linggen cultivator does not need to use the "Foundation Pill" to attack the foundation, and there is a one-third success rate, but if the middle-grade Linggen cultivator does not take the "Foundation Pill", the probability of successful foundation building is less than 10%.

And "foundation" is the first major difficulty in cultivation. If there is no spiritual elixir such as "Foundation Pill" to provide protection for the monks, once the impact fails, 90% of the monks will be blasted by the runaway mana in the meridians, and their bodies will explode. If he died, even if he was lucky enough to survive, he would lose all his mana and become a crippled person.

From a ninth-level qi-cultivating immortal cultivator who is at the top to become a crippled person, which immortal cultivator can withstand such a blow?

Therefore, even if someone can survive the accident, they will not choose to live on, but will die as a martyr.

The danger of "building a foundation" is so great that in today's world of immortals, it is difficult to find a few monks out of a hundred people who are not the ninth-level qi practitioners who have high-quality spiritual roots and do not have "building foundation pills" in their hands. Personally dare to take risks to attack the foundation.

The monks who can cultivate to the ninth level of Qi practice have no idea how much they have suffered and suffered in their entire life. No one wants the cultivation that they have finally acquired to die in one fell swoop.

Especially for the cultivators of the foundation building family like the Zhou family, as long as they cultivate to the ninth level of Qi training, they will be able to reach the top of the family and hold such great power.

For these family cultivators, instead of taking the risk of dying to attack the foundation, it is better to work hard to earn spiritual stones and cultivate their own descendants in the rest of their lives, so that the power of two or three generations of poor cultivators may be able to gather together. Purchased the spirit stone of "Building Foundation Pill".

At that time, although I may have died, future generations may rely on the "Foundation Pill" to successfully build the foundation, so it is worth dying.

Only those ninth-level cultivators who are free from worries and are all alone, because they are alone and envious of the longevity and powerful magical power of the monks in the foundation-building period, will they dare to take a risk and forcefully attack the foundation-building.

Once successful, the lifespan will double to two hundred and forty years. In the future, whether it is to occupy an oasis spiritual vein to open up a cultivator family, or join a powerful cultivator family to become an elder Keqing, it will be infinitely stronger than being a loose cultivator. times.

Even if you fail, you don't have to practice in vain, and it is considered a martyrdom.

However, a very real problem is that due to the lack of resources and good exercises, even if they have a high-quality spiritual root, there are not many people who can cultivate to the ninth level of Qi training before the age of sixty. With the help of Dan", after the age of sixty, the chance of success in attacking the foundation will drop a lot, and it will almost be dead.

Therefore, after taking a comprehensive calculation, although the base of scattered cultivators is huge, the determination to attack the foundation is much greater than that of the family cultivators, but in fact the number of people who can really successfully establish the foundation is far lower than that of the major immortal cultivators who rely on "Foundation Pills" The number of people who built the foundation.

As a child of the Zhou family, Zhou Xuanyu is also the direct descendant of the old patriarch Zhou Minghan. Even if she wanted to risk attacking the foundation, the old patriarch Zhou Minghan would stop her. Besides, she was pampered since she was a child, and she did not have the determination.

The family did not prepare her a "Foundation Pill". She said in her heart that she was not disappointed, but she did not resent the family because of it. Instead, she quickly recruited a young mid-qi training casual cultivator to join the Zhou family, and proved it with practical actions. loyalty to the family.

Because of this incident, all the senior members of the family, including the old patriarch Zhou Minghan, felt ashamed of her, so they made her up for the position of general affairs elder, allowing her to sit in the family for a long time and take care of their children and descendants.

Zhou Yang's mother, Lin Yuting, had a good personal relationship with the eighth aunt, and he was also favored by the eighth aunt since he was a child, so he was not worried at all about the so-called debriefing.

"Yo, I haven't seen you for a few years. Our little Jiu is getting more and more handsome. In the future, I don't know which daughter will be lucky enough to marry our Zhou family's Qilin Er."

In the family affairs hall, when Zhou Yang came in, he saw a middle-aged beautiful woman in a white lotus flower dress sorting out the files. Seeing him come in, the beautiful middle-aged woman's eyes suddenly lit up, and she quickly put down the file in her hand and smiled. Yi Yingying watched him playfully.

Even if Zhou Yang had already matured, his face became hot in the face of this kind of joke, and he couldn't help but smiled bitterly and handed over his hands to beg for mercy: "Third auntie, don't tease your nephew, the nephew is still young, so we should talk about marriage and marriage. It's still early!"

Unless the cultivators are those monks with low-grade spiritual roots who have no hope of building a foundation, as long as they are monks who have some ideas about foundation building, they will not lose their Yuanyang and Yuanyin before building a foundation.

Because according to the experience summed up by the predecessors, the monks who maintain the body of Yuanyang or Yuanyin not only practice faster than usual, but also have a higher success rate when building foundations than the monks who have lost Yuanyang and Yuanyin. few.

Therefore, even a high-grade spiritual root cultivator with a high success rate in foundation building would not break his body early before foundation building.

Although immortal-cultivating families like the Zhou family attach great importance to the inheritance of blood, but in this regard, they instead encourage qualified family members to marry later and have children later, preferably after the age of sixty before marrying a wife and having children.

Zhou Yang's father, Zhou Xuanhao, and the third aunt, Zhou Xuanyu, both got married and had offspring after they were over sixty years old and had no hope of establishing a foundation.

Fortunately, the immortal cultivator has a strong physique and can use healing spells to heal injuries. Even if they give birth to a child after the age of sixty, they will not be in danger of life like a mortal mother, but once they give birth to offspring, it will damage their own cultivation to some extent. , resulting in a slower pace of practice in the future.

When Zhou Yang's mother Lin Yuting gave birth to him, he was at the seventh level of Qi training, but more than 20 years later, this is still the practice. It can be seen how much damage to low-level female immortal cultivators is caused by childbirth.

On the other hand, Zhou Xuanyu is much better. Before she got married and had children, she had already practiced the ninth level of Qi cultivation. Unless she established a foundation, she would not be able to advance her cultivation in her entire life. Having a child would have little effect on her cultivation, but it might be slightly detrimental. Some Shou Yuan.

It's a pity that Zhou Yang's third aunt's luck seems to have been bad. Even if the couple are both middle-grade spiritual roots, among the two sons, one daughter, and three offspring, only one daughter has low-grade spiritual roots.

The continuous birth of offspring did not make Zhou Xuanyu's cultivation base go backwards, but it made her face ageing much faster. Although she didn't care much about it, the old patriarch Zhou Minghan was afraid that she would die prematurely because of the great reduction in her lifespan. Ignoring her own objections and complaints, the forcible use of medicinal pills destroyed her fertility, and she was not allowed to continue giving birth.

Since Zhou Yang learned about the deeds of this third aunt, she has a great respect for this third aunt. She is a great woman who deserves the respect of all the family members.

"That's right, with your money, you will have a great chance of foundation building in the future. The family's situation is much better now than it was in the past. In addition to your parents' own savings, you should be able to prepare a foundation building pill for you. Once you successfully build a foundation, you will naturally have a lot of time to slowly find a suitable Taoist companion!"

Zhou Xuanyu looked at the handsome and handsome nephew in front of her, her beautiful eyes were lost for a while, as if she saw herself at the same age back then. At that time, she was also thinking about following in the footsteps of her grandfather and becoming a person The envious base-building cultivator never thought about getting married at all.

It's a pity that she was unlucky. When she was at Zhou Yang's age, the Zhou family spent a lot of money and resources to buy a "Foundation Pill" for the current Great Elder Zhou Qian. The family's savings for many years were almost exhausted. Neither recovered.

However, after the great elder Zhou Qian, who had high hopes at that time, took the "Foundation Pill", he did not succeed in building the foundation. He just advanced to a level of cultivation and became a monk on the tenth level of qi training, which is commonly known as the great perfection of qi training.

Although the cultivator of Qi Dzogchen is much stronger than the ninth-level qi cultivator, compared with the cultivator in the foundation-building stage, it is a world of difference, not to mention that the Dzogchen qi practice is still in the qi training stage, and will not be above Shouyuan. any growth.

Because of this, Zhou Qian wasted a foundation pill, and since then he has carried a huge family debt. He has worked hard for the family all his life to pay off the debt, not even the descendants.

And Zhou Xuanyu lost the opportunity to buy the "Foundation Pill" to build the foundation because of the exhaustion of the family savings, leaving a lifetime of regrets.

A small "Foundation Pill" directly changed the fate of two generations of Zhou family elders before and after!

Zhou Yang had been warned by his parents since he was a child that he should not mention the "Foundation Pill" in front of his third aunt, so as not to sting the elder.

Now that Zhou Xuanyu took the initiative to mention the matter of "Building a Foundation Pill", his heart skipped a beat. The thought that he originally wanted to chat with the third aunt disappeared in an instant, and he hurriedly handed over the debriefing that he had written a long time ago. After making a report, he left the Shuwu Palace as if he was fleeing under the pretext of visiting the old patriarch Zhou Minghan.
