Cultivation Begins From The Desert

"[Earth Essence Spirit Milk] is a necessary adjuvant for refining the foundation pill, but it also has a function, that is, after taking it for the ninth-level monks who are less than a hundred years old in the Qi training period, they can restore their physical vitality to sixty. In the state before the age of 10, there is a precious opportunity to impact the foundation-building stage!"

The old patriarch Zhou Minghan disregarded Zhou Xuanhao's wildly changing face, and said in a low voice what Zhou Xuanhao had deliberately ignored before.

"Old Patriarch, you..."

Zhou Xuanhao opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but it seemed like he had something unspeakable, unable to say it, his face was very ugly.

Unexpectedly, the old patriarch did not let him go, but looked at him and shouted in a deep voice: "Xuan Hao, the old man knows what you want to say, but the old man tells you that since you have embarked on the path of immortality, you can only keep moving forward. move forward!"

"If you were cultivating immortals, just to live twenty or thirty years longer than ordinary people, and just to have such a weak ability now, then you might as well be an ordinary person and live an ordinary life in peace and stability!"

Zhou Xuanhao was shocked, and a strong struggle suddenly appeared in his eyes.

At this moment, the old man Zhou Quan also said: "Xuan Hao, you also know that your spiritual aptitude is not inferior to Xuan Yu at all. If it wasn't for the lack of alchemists in the family, you would spend a lot of time in cultivation. If you put it on alchemy, you won't be promoted to the ninth level of Qi training at the age of sixty-three!"

After the old man Zhou Quan finished speaking, the third elder of the Zhou family, Zhou Dan, also said quickly: "Yes, Xuan Hao, the old patriarch and the third brother are right, you delayed the chance to attack the foundation for the sake of the family, and now there is Why can't you make up your mind to try it again when you have a chance to do it all over again? The old man said something unpleasant, even if you fail, you still have Xiao Jiu, an outstanding junior, to inherit your career, and you can have no regrets in this life!"

Zhou Xuanhao heard this, and the struggle in his eyes suddenly became stronger. He looked at Zhou Yang, who was a little confused, with complicated eyes, his throat squirmed for a while, as if he had something to say.

"Okay, don't talk about it, it seems that it will take about ten or eight years to condense a copy of this [Earth Essence Spirit Milk], Xuan Hao, you still have a lot of time to think about it, if you think about it at that time, you can Come and tell the old man, as long as you want, this first copy will definitely be reserved for you!"

With a wave of the old patriarch Zhou Minghan, he stopped the words that the elders of the "light" generation still wanted to persuade, and the words that Zhou Xuanhao poured into his mouth, he held back in his stomach again.

He choked back what he wanted to say, and nodded his head in response: "Xuan Hao understands, the juniors will definitely consider the words of the old patriarch and the elders."

Zhou Yang never made a sound, because he didn't know what the old patriarch and others were playing with before.

But hearing now, if he still can't figure out what the old patriarch and others are talking about, then he will have lived in vain for so many years.

"It turns out that the old patriarch and the others wanted their father to take [Earth Essence Spirit Milk] to attack the foundation-building stage. It's no wonder that the father, who has always respected the elders, is so embarrassed this time!"

When Zhou Yang wanted to understand this matter, his heart suddenly became extremely heavy.

Zhou Xuanhao is already eighty-seven this year, and he has lost his Yuan Yang. Even if he takes the [Earth Yuan Spirit Milk] to restore his vitality to the state before he was sixty years old, the probability of success in foundation building will not exceed 100%. five!

With such a low probability of foundation building, it is no wonder that Zhou Xuanhao was undecided.

After all, he is no longer alone. He already has a wife and a son. These are all his concerns.

But on the other hand, just like Zhou Dan said, after having a wife and son and living for nearly a hundred years, there is another chance to hit the foundation stage. Even if you fail, life is considered No regrets.

"Father, will he agree? If it were me, how would I choose?"

Zhou Yang secretly glanced at his heavy-faced father. Even though he had a thousand words in his heart, he couldn't utter a single word.

As a son of man, if he persuaded his father to agree, once his father failed to attack the foundation and fell, it would be unfilial.

But as an immortal cultivator, if he persuaded his father not to agree, that would mean breaking his father's path by himself, which was also a form of unfilial piety.

At this time, you can only play stupid!

Fortunately, at this time, other elders from the Zhou family entered the stone room to report the information about the cave exploration to the old patriarch, which helped him relieve this embarrassment.

"Reporting to the old patriarch, I have explored the dark river. I didn't find other monsters hiding, nor did I find any traces of spiritual things. It seems that it is just a tributary of an ordinary underground dark river passing by."

The speaker was Zhou Xuanyan, the eighth-ranked female cultivator in the Zhou family's "Xuan" generation. She was a rare water-based cultivator in the boundless sand sea, so after entering the cave, she took the initiative to receive the task of exploring the underground river.

The underground river is a strange place. Even in the arid land deep in the inland like the Boundless Sand Sea, there may be some water-type monsters in the underground river. These water-type monsters live in the underground river, almost There are no natural enemies, and sometimes there are third-order or even fourth-order monsters.

Therefore, once the immortal cultivators discovered the underground river, they would carefully investigate the situation before deciding whether to establish a settlement nearby.

"This matter can't be careless, the old man remembers that Qian'er had repaired a second-order high-grade water-attribute formation and put it in the family treasure house. When I look back, the old man will ask Xuan Tai to fetch it and lay it in the dark river, and then Xuan Yan, you can help him. "

The old patriarch Zhou Minghan pondered for a while and decided to be more cautious.

Although the second-order high-grade formation cannot defend against the attacks of third- and fourth-order monsters, it can still serve as a warning, allowing the family monks stationed in the stone room in the future to have time to react.

However, when he thought of the deceased Zhou family elder Zhou Qian, Zhou Minghan's mood became heavy again for no reason.

He glanced at the Zhou family cultivator in the stone room, and with a gesture, suddenly there was a metal disc with a dozen light yellow flags in his hand.

"This set of [Shutu Jinge Formation] is Qian'er's last work in the world. Although it is only a third-order low-grade product, it is very suitable for the attributes of this place's spiritual veins. You can help Xuantai to set up this formation now! "

Sighing and telling the origin of the metal disk, Zhou Minghan gently tossed it, and the disk fell into the hands of old man Zhou Quan beside him.

When everyone followed the order and left one after another, he seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly said, "By the way, Xiao Jiu stays."

"Xiao Jiu, strictly speaking, you discovered this spiritual vein. Have you thought about how to name it?"

Zhou Yang, who was named and left behind, was wondering what the old patriarch wanted to say when he named him, but he was waiting for such a question.

His face was stunned for a moment, and after a while he replied: "Since the great-grandfather asked his grandson this, then the grandson would be bold. What do you think of the Haoyang Grotto?"

"Haoyang Grotto, Haoyang Grotto, okay, from now on, this place will be called Haoyang Grotto!"

The old patriarch said a few words about the name "Haoyang Grotto", and with a wave of his sleeve, a stream of shining sword light quickly flew out, and the three characters "Haoyang Grotto" were engraved on the wall of the stone chamber.

After doing this, the old patriarch withdrew the flying sword, looked at Zhou Yang with a stern face and asked: "Xiao Jiu, this Haoyang cave is a natural spiritual vein of the third-order low-grade, and it is connected by an underground dark river. It has great potential for future development. , the old man is thinking of you to build a foundation in the future, so I will move here to sit here, what do you think?"

After the foundation is established, why are you asking yourself now?

A look of doubt flashed on Zhou Yang's face, but his heart suddenly moved, and he couldn't help but blurt out, "Does your great-grandfather mean that he wants his grandson to retreat and practice here for the rest of the time?"

"Ruzi can be taught!"

Zhou Minghan looked at Zhou Yang with approval and nodded, and then stated his plan.

"Haoyang Grotto is a third-order natural spiritual vein, and it is adjacent to the red flame iron ore vein. In terms of actual value, it is not much inferior to the Yuquan Lake Oasis. Before there are no foundation-building monks guarding, this old man will not let the low-level family members. The cultivator came here to prevent the news from being leaked to outsiders."

"When the [Shutu Jinge Array] is arranged, the old man will bring Xuan Hao and the others back to the family, and then we will hand over to Quan'er, Dan'er, Xuanyan and Xiaojiu to guard this place. UU Reading www.uukanshu .com has four of you cultivators in the late stage of Qi training guarding this place, with the power of the formation, even if there is a third-order monster attacking, it can resist the old man to come to rescue, and there is no need to worry about safety issues!"

"Of course, the most important thing is that the environment here is more suitable for your cultivation than Yuquan Peak. If you cultivate here, you will have a better chance of being promoted to the ninth level of Qi training within ten years."

Zhou Yang knows the truth, but when he thinks that he and his parents will be separated soon after they are reunited, Zhou Yang is still extremely reluctant.

In fact, he really wanted to tell the old patriarch that his father Zhou Xuanhao would also stay with him.

But he knew even more that his father, as the only second-order high-grade alchemist in the family, could only play his role by sitting at the shop in Fangshi.

And if his father, Zhou Xuanhao, was determined to attack the foundation-building stage, in the next ten or eight years, he would definitely choose an heir from the "Yuan" generation to teach alchemy techniques, just in case he failed. The family's alchemist broke the inheritance.

"Grandson understands."

He resisted the pain in his heart and responded in a low voice.

"Hey! You have worked hard for your father and son!"

Zhou Minghan let out a long sigh, and couldn't help reaching out and patted Zhou Yang's shoulder lightly, indicating that he understood everything.

If he had a choice, Zhou Minghan would not do it either, but the predicament the Zhou family was facing now forced him to do it.

If a family wants to grow and develop, there are always people who have to make sacrifices.

As a family cultivator, you cannot enjoy the benefits of the family without doing things for nothing. The more benefits you enjoy, the more you pay than others.

Zhou Qian was like this back then, Zhou Xuanyu was like this, how can Zhou Xuanhao and Zhou Yang's father and son be an exception now?
