Cultivation Begins From The Desert

When Zhou Yang came out of the old patriarch Zhou Minghan's cave, his expression had completely recovered.

It is almost impossible for ordinary cultivators in the Qi training period of mid-grade spiritual roots to go from the seventh level of Qi training to the ninth level of Qi training in more than ten years.

It is always more difficult to break through the first step of cultivation. After practicing Qi level seven, one can increase one level of cultivation every ten years, which is a very good speed for cultivation for a mid-level spiritual root cultivator.

Just like Zhou Yang's father, Zhou Xuanhao, and his third aunt, Zhou Xuanyu, both of them reached the seventh level of Qi training in their thirties, and Zhou Xuanhao only reached the ninth level of Qi training at the age of sixty-three. Zhou Xuanyu was a little faster, but he only reached the ninth level of Qi training at the age of fifty-eight.

Zhou Yang reached the seventh level of qi training at the age of twenty-two. Under normal circumstances, he would definitely be able to raise his cultivation to the ninth level of qi training before the age of 50. At that time, there will still be ten years to plan the foundation building. thing.

But since the old patriarch Zhou Minghan has already made it clear that he will help him solve the problem of "Building Foundation Pill", he must fight for it. Kidan" spirit stone.

Zhou Yang didn't want what happened to his third aunt, Zhou Xuanyu, to repeat it on himself.

"Originally, I wanted to focus on improving the artifact refining technique after breaking through to the seventh level of qi training. Now it seems that in order to reach the ninth level of qi training as soon as possible, I can only temporarily let go of the artifact refining art."

For a cultivator, the most fundamental and most important thing is to improve the realm of cultivation, and learning techniques such as weapon refining and alchemy should also serve this matter.

When there is a conflict between improving the cultivation realm and improving the refining technique, Zhou Yang will naturally give up the refining technique without hesitation and concentrate on improving his cultivation.

If you neglect your practice in order to improve the refining technique, you will put the cart before the horse, and you will not have time to regret it later.

With a decision in his heart, he immediately returned to the cave dwelling where he had retreated and continued to practice.

In order for him to improve his cultivation to the ninth level of Qi practice within ten years, the old patriarch has already assigned this cave to him temporarily, and in the next ten years, there will not be any The family task was assigned to him.

His only task now is to cultivate, cultivate, cultivate again, and make every effort to cultivate to the ninth level of Qi training as soon as possible.

And when Zhou Yang was focused on cultivating hard behind closed doors, the late-stage qi-training cultivators dispatched from the Zhou family to be stationed in various places also returned to the family in the name of paying homage to the family's chief elder, Zhou Qian.

Among these returned monks, Zhou Yang's father, Zhou Xuanhao, and his mother, Lin Yuting, were naturally included.

"Father, mother, when did you come back? Why didn't you tell the child earlier? You know how much the child misses you!"

When Zhou Yang received a voice transmission notification from the old patriarch Zhou Minghan a few months later, informing him to go down the mountain to the family ancestral hall to discuss matters, when he came to the ancestral hall, he saw his parents standing with a bunch of elders at a glance. Then for a moment, his eyes turned red.

"Mother also misses you, Yang'er!"

Mother Zhou also came out with red eyes and hugged her son whom she hadn't seen in seven or eight years.

"Mother's Yang'er has grown taller. When mother left, you were only as tall as mother's shoulders. Now you're a head taller than mother, and you're even more handsome!"

The woman hugged her son's shoulders, and with a loving face, she stretched out her jade hand and stroked Zhou Yangyang's clean and jade-like face, her eyes full of joy.

"Alright, alright, in the ancestral hall, both of you mothers should pay attention. When the business is done, let the two of you talk about it in private."

As a man, Zhou's father is more tolerant. At this time, seeing his wife and son hugging each other after a long absence, he felt warm, and he was afraid of causing gossip from other clansmen, so he could not help but whispered, reminding the two. Pay attention to the occasion.

I never thought that Zhou Yang and Zhou's mother had not had time to part when his words were just finished. Zhou Xuanyu, who was also a little jealous at this scene, said sarcastically:

"Sister-in-law and Yang'er haven't seen each other for eight years, so what's the matter with you talking about yourself? Big brother, you can just say this in front of those juniors. Who of us here today is not seventy or eighty? Who doesn't have a wife and son? How can they not understand the taste of it?"

"You said you didn't go to the cave mansion on the top of the mountain to see Yang'er, and you insisted that you wouldn't be allowed to go with your sister-in-law. Is there such a father as you? Is there a husband like you?"

The older generation of the Zhou family all know that Zhou Xuanhao and Zhou Xuanyu have been a little out of touch since they were young.

Both of them are of mid-grade spiritual root aptitude, one is a few years older and always considers himself the boss, and the other is the granddaughter of the old patriarch Zhou Minghan. , don't buy this big brother's account at all.

When they were young, the two of them didn't see eye to eye, and they kept fighting in the family, that is, when they got older and separated from each other for a long time because of the execution of family tasks, the relationship gradually eased.

But as long as there is a chance, Zhou Xuanyu will still seize the opportunity to ridicule Zhou Xuanhao with words.

No way, who said that women have always held more grudges than men!

At this moment, hearing Zhou Xuanyu mocking Zhou Xuanhao, the eldest brother, the monks of the "Xuan" generation in the ancestral hall suddenly looked at me with strange expressions, and I looked at you, turning their heads to the side, no one dared to help, who Neither speak.

And the monks of the "light" generation, such as Zhou Quan and Zhou Yun, have long been surprised. Not only did no one want to talk about these two people, but they looked at this scene with a straight smile. They winked at each other for a while, as if they were eager to fight.

The elders all knew about these past events, but Zhou Yang didn't know it at all.

When he saw the third aunt come out to help him and his mother talk, he was moved, but also afraid of causing misunderstanding.

Because he knew that his father didn't look at him, it was definitely not that he didn't care about him. On the contrary, his father cared so much about him that he didn't want to disturb his practice and delay his path.

So he quickly broke free from his mother's arms, looked anxiously at the third aunt Zhou Xuanyu and explained to his father: "Three aunts, you misunderstood my father, my father and mother didn't see me, just didn't want to disturb my nephew's practice, and my nephew just now My son is indeed a little rude, and I ask the elders to forgive me."

Seeing his anxious appearance, everyone who knew the inside story was holding back their laughter, including his mother Lin Yuting.

However, Zhou Xuanyu rolled his eyes and hummed angrily: "Hum, Xiao Jiu, you are really an unfamiliar white-eyed wolf, as soon as the parents come back, they will immediately forget what the third aunt did to you. Well, it really isn't his own, it's just a layer of relationship!"

"Pfft!"

When Mother Zhou heard this, she finally burst into tears and couldn't help laughing out loud.

Then she looked at her son blankly, and poked Zhou Yang's forehead lightly with her jade finger and smiled: "Okay Yang'er, your third aunt is jealous, I see, today happens to be an elder in the family. They are all here, otherwise you should recognize your third aunt as the adoptive mother, lest she always overturn the vinegar jar and make your father sour!"

"This old man sees this as feasible, what do you think, Xiao Jiu?"

The old patriarch Zhou Minghan, who had never spoken out, his eyes also lit up at this moment, and he couldn't help but agree with Zhou's mother Lin Yuting's proposal.

And next to Zhou Xuanyu, who was originally said by Zhou's mother to be jealous and had an unpleasant face, now her eyes flashed with joy, and her beautiful eyes looked at Zhou Yang nervously without blinking. This expression has completely betrayed her thoughts.

"If you don't have any objections, Yang'er, my father doesn't object either."

It was also Zhou Xuanhao, who had never spoken, but at this moment his eyes were fixed as he watched Zhou Yang express his opinion.

The parents agreed, the old patriarch spoke again, and the third aunt really loved her since she was a child. After thinking about it, Zhou Yang immediately walked to Zhou Xuanyu and knelt down on his knees. He respectfully kowtowed three times and said. : "Baby Zhou Yang, I have seen my adoptive mother."

Originally, at this time, I wanted to meet Zhou Xuanyu's husband, Wu Tao, the third uncle, as the "foster father".

However, as the son-in-law of the Zhou family, Wu Tao cannot compare with the Zhou family members in terms of trust. The red flame iron ore vein is a top secret in the Zhou family. The old patriarch Zhou Minghan has already given strict orders. Divulge the news to the outside world.

Therefore, at this moment, several relatives of the Zhou family, such as Wu Tao, are all outside to replace Zhou Xuanhao and the Zhou family members who were transferred to the family.

"Good boy, good boy, get up, get up!"

The nervousness on Zhou Xuanyu's face disappeared, and with a smile like a flower, he hurriedly stretched out his hand to support Zhou Yang, and his beautiful eyes were full of joy.

"Congratulations to the third sister (sister) for having a adopted son!"

Originally, a group of cultivators from the Zhou family who looked at the nose with their eyes and their hearts with their noses and hearts, now seemed to be waking up from a dream, and they all laughed and congratulated.

And those old people of the "Guang" generation who are winking and laughing, are also laughing and sending their blessings at this moment: "Hahaha, the third girl has been thinking about a son for so many years, and today I finally got my wish. Yes, it is indeed worthy of congratulations, worthy of congratulations!"

Hearing the congratulations from these elders and peers, the smile on Zhou Xuanyu's pretty face suddenly brightened a bit, and she also did not shy away from grabbing Zhou Yang's arm, pulling him into her arms and hugging him fiercely. With a big smile on his face, he said with a big smile: "Whatever you say, I just like this kid Yang'er, I like this kid's calm personality since I was a child, I like this kid's intelligence, this is what a good boy in my Zhou family should look like. ."

Zhou Yang was held in his arms by Zhou Xuanyu with a dazed expression, his eyes widened as he looked at his smiling mother Lin Yuting, and he felt as if he had been betrayed by his mother.

Sure enough, in the next second, he saw his mother's beautiful eyes squinting, and smilingly looked at the adoptive mother he had just recognized and said, "Master accepts apprentices and gives them the gift of apprenticeship. Since Sister Yu accepts Yang'er as her adopted son, this There must be gifts, right? Our Yang’er is also not short of elixir and spirit stones, I think Sister Yu will send some spirit amulets that she made by herself.”

"Good you Lin Yuting, I said how could you be so kind all of a sudden, willing to give me a share of the precious son, dare you to remember those treasures in my hands!" Zhou Xuanyu raised her eyebrows and glared in dissatisfaction. Mother Zhou looked a little angry.

But when she turned to look at Zhou Yang, who was embarrassed in her arms, she giggled and said, "Giggle, or Yang'er knows that she loves her adoptive mother, unlike your unconscionable mother, who is just a few pictures. Spirit Talisman, even if you have been a good sister for many years!"

Saying so, but without any ambiguity in her hand, she stretched out her hand and patted the storage bag, took out a stack of sparkling spirit talismans and stuffed it into Zhou Yang's hand.

"Good boy, here, these magic talismans are all the talismans that the foster mother has practiced over the years. You can use them first. If you run out of them later, ask the foster mother for them again. Short!"

Hands-on work?

Are all the magic talismans created by practicing hands second-tier top-grade?

Zhou Yang looked at the thick stack of magic talismans in his hand, feeling warm in his heart, indescribably moved.

He knew that every talisman in it was a fine work that his adoptive mother, Zhou Xuanyu, devoted a lot of effort to.

Even if Zhou Xuanyu himself is a second-order high-grade talisman maker, there are definitely not too many such second-grade high-grade spiritual talismans in his hand, but now he has given him a thick stack, which shows his love for him.
