Cultivation Begins From The Desert

Cultivation has no years, and winter and summer do not know the year.

In the blink of an eye, Zhou Yang had been stationed at the "Haoyang Grotto" spiritual vein for eight years.

After eight years of ascetic cultivation, his cultivation base has successfully advanced one level, reaching the eighth level of qi training, which is only one step away from the ninth level of qi training.

Eight years is not too long, but not too short.

For Zhou Yang, the eight years only allowed him to improve his cultivation from the seventh level of Qi training to the eighth level of Qi training, but for the entire Zhou family, the changes that took place in these eight years were enormous.

First of all, the elderly Zhou Quan and Zhou Dan, who were stationed at the Lingmai of the Haoyang Grotto together with Zhou Yang, passed away in succession. These two elderly people were already close to the limit of the monks in the Qi training period. He suffered internal injuries during World War I, and died shortly after the war.

Because they practiced in the same spiritual place, Zhou Yang witnessed the two old people's lives slowly coming to an end.

At that time, he watched the two old men lose their mana overnight, their ruddy and healthy faces were instantly wrinkled, their white hair and all their teeth fell out, and his heart was greatly shaken.

He thought that he would be a lot more magnanimous in matters of life and death, but when he saw with his own eyes two old men with powerful mana, who had been chatting and laughing with him the day before, and died overnight, he was afraid!

The great power of the immortal cultivator is attributed to himself. Even if the ninth-level qi cultivator is empty-handed, he can easily slaughter the army of tens of thousands of mortals.

But once Shouyuan comes to an end, it is no different from ordinary mortals. After all, it will not be able to resist the power called "years".

If the foundation is not established, the lifespan of immortal practitioners during the Qi training period is one hundred and twenty years.

Longevity!

Longevity!

Longevity!

It was after witnessing the death of the two family elders that Zhou Yang had an unprecedented desire for the word "longevity" in his heart.

He wanted to live forever, and he didn't want to be like the two elders of the family one day, one hundred years of cultivation would be gone in one day, and he would die helplessly in endless unwillingness and regret.

He knew what the two old men regretted in the end.

Old Man Zhou Quan and Old Man Zhou Dan both had the opportunity to attack the Foundation Establishment Stage, but they were both afraid of the extremely high mortality rate of failure. the way.

Perhaps before they sat down, the two old men would not have felt that their original choice was wrong. After all, compared to the countless monks who died in front of the Foundation Establishment checkpoint at the age of fifty or sixty, they lived at least twice as long.

But when they reached the end of their lives, the two old men must have regretted it. Their unwilling and regretful eyes at the end told Zhou Yang that they regretted it!

Zhou Yang didn't want to regret it!

He didn't want him to die like the two old people one day in endless unwillingness and regret.

So he made up his mind at that time, as long as he still has the opportunity to further his cultivation in this life, no matter how difficult and dangerous the road ahead is, he will never give up this opportunity.

It is this kind of unwavering and firm belief that made him go smoothly on the path of practicing Qi from the seventh level to the eighth level. It only took him less than five years to break through, and then three years later, he reached the level of training. The peak of the eighth level of Qi is only one step away from the ninth level of Qi training.

Of course, Zhou Yang's cultivation was able to improve so quickly, in addition to his own efforts and the spiritual veins of the Haoyang Cave that fit him, it was also related to the medicinal pill that his father Zhou Xuanhao gave him before he left.

At that time, before Zhou Xuanhao left, he specially called Zhou Yang aside and gave him three different second-order high-grade elixir. The effect of taking one of each elixir was equivalent to the effect of his own meditation practice for half a year. , and he took twelve in eight years.

Speaking of which, this is the first time that Zhou Yang has used medicinal herbs so frequently to improve his cultivation.

Before that, he had always obeyed the orders of his father and the old patriarch, and he would never use the power of medicinal pills to improve his cultivation until the last moment of breaking through the realm.

This is because although medicinal pills can greatly improve the mana cultivation of immortal cultivators, they will also leave "erysipelas" in the body of immortal cultivators. The mana of the immortal cultivator is full of impurities, which affects the future breakthrough of the realm, and it will damage the cultivator's body and reduce his lifespan.

For immortal cultivators during the Qi training period, the "erysipelas" is particularly harmful. If they take too much elixir to improve their cultivation level before foundation building, they cannot get rid of the "erysipelas" in time, even if they take "Foundation Dan" in the future. For foundation building, the success rate will also be greatly reduced.

Therefore, in the world of immortality, those seniors of the immortal sect or immortal clan with inheritance will explain the harm of "erysipelas" to the younger generation from a young age, and strictly control the distribution of elixirs, lest some people be unable to bear the temptation to rapidly improve their cultivation and take risks .

Only those loose cultivators who were lucky enough to make a fortune without being reminded by their teachers would happily buy a lot of elixir and take them to improve their cultivation without knowing the danger of "erysipelas", thinking that they would be able to catch up with those in cultivation. The talent is better than his own cultivator genius.

Little did they know that when they took this step, they had completely lost hope of catching up with others.

Zhou Yang had taken very few elixir before, and a little bit of "erysipelas" in his body had long since been refined through years of hard work, so Zhou Xuanhao dared to give him the elixir with confidence.

Unfortunately, even so, he has accumulated a lot of "erysipelas" because of taking medicine pills many times in the past eight years, which has led to the emergence of a barrier to cultivation, and it is impossible to break through to the ninth level of Qi training in a short period of time.

However, according to Zhou Yang's own estimation, this "erysipelas" will not affect his future path. As long as he will not take this kind of elixir to improve his cultivation in the next ten or eight years, there will be residues in his body. These Xu erysipelas will naturally be washed away by the spiritual energy of heaven and earth after he builds the foundation.

"Eight years have passed, and this [Earth Essence Spirit Milk] is about to condense. I don't know what my father is thinking about!"

Inside the "Haoyang Grotto", Zhou Yang looked at the cream-yellow stalactite column in the stone room with complicated eyes, and his mood was very complicated.

The cream-yellow stalactite column is like a fine jade, as warm as jade and exudes a faint brilliance. Zhou Yang, who stays here day and night, can clearly perceive that there is a familiar energy gathering and strengthening inside the stone column. Unfamiliar, it is the leyline aura he once absorbed.

According to the records about the [Earth Spiritual Milk] that he has seen in the "Treasures of Heaven and Earth" given by his father Zhou Xuanhao over the years, once the aura of the earth veins in the stalactite column is concentrated and strengthened to a point, there will be [Earth Yuanling Spirit] Milk] flows from the surface of the stalactite column.

In addition to the effects mentioned by the old patriarch, this [Earth Essence Spirit Milk] is also a rare spiritual item for the monsters to improve their cultivation. The reason why the [Poisonous Fire Scorpion King] can become a third-order monster , most of it is the result of swallowing a large amount of [Earth Essence Spirit Milk].

Zhou Yang didn't know whether he should persuade his father Zhou Xuanhao to take [Diyuan Lingyu] to attack the foundation, but now that he has witnessed the death of the two old people of the Zhou family, he hopes that his father can take a risk.

Of course, being a son of man, even if he had this idea in his heart, he would definitely not say it. He could only secretly hope that his father would figure it out.

"I don't know how the second uncle and the others are doing in building the oasis. Anyway, I can't break through my cultivation base now, so let's help them build the oasis together while practicing the art of refining weapons!"

Letting go of his worries about his father Zhou Xuanhao's foundation building, Zhou Yang's heart moved, but he was a little quiet and thoughtful.

In these years, although Zhou Qian, Zhou Quan, and Zhou Dan, three elders of the "Guang" generation have passed away successively.

However, there are also four "Xuan" cultivators, Zhou Xuantai, Zhou Xuanbin, Zhou Xuanlin, and Zhou Xuanyan, who have successively broken through to the ninth level of Qi training, taking the place of the three "guang" cultivators who have passed away. , reaching nine.

During the time of Zhou Yang's retreat and cultivation, the elders of the Zhou family also discovered the reserves of the red flame iron ore near the "Haoyang Grotto" spiritual vein. This ore vein turned out to be a relatively rare large ore vein!

This discovery made the Zhou family cultivators who knew the inside story overjoyed. If it wasn't for the Zhou family's lack of foundation-building cultivators who could sit in the "Haoyang Grotto" spiritual vein, I am afraid that the old patriarch would soon organize a large number of people to develop the mineral vein.

Even so, after discussions with the elders of the Zhou family, the family migrated thousands of mortals from the Yuquan Lake oasis to the "Haoyang Grotto" spiritual vein, and built a huge earth city on the ground for these mortals. live.

Of course, the external statement is that these people moved to the Qingping Mountain oasis, and the Zhou family will increase the mining of iron ore concentrate~www.readwn.com~ With the arrival of these thousands of mortals, the "Haoyang Grotto" spiritual The pulse here finally gained some popularity, and then with the help of two new elders, Zhou Xuantai and Zhou Xuanyan, the Zhou family mortals and the monks worked together to divert the water of the underground river to a low-lying place in the desert. A desert lake with an area of ​​hundreds of square meters.

After there was a lake, Zhou Xuantai and others began to organize Zhou family mortals to carry and carry water on their shoulders to irrigate the sandy land to plant drought-tolerant plants, and then cast spawning spells to spawn these common plants.

It is worth mentioning that the ordinary plants produced by cultivators with magic cannot survive for a long time, and the fruits and grains produced by the plants produced by magic cannot be eaten by mortals.

But after these spawned plants wither and die, they can be used to fertilize the land.

After years of experimentation and summarization, the cultivators of the boundless sand sea have developed a complete set of oasis construction plans. As long as the geographical environment is suitable, as long as they are willing to invest human and material resources, it is not a dream to turn a desert into an oasis.

Zhou Yang was very quiet and thoughtful at the moment. When he left the stone room in retreat, he walked outside the stone room and saw that in the empty underground grotto, only the fifth uncle Zhou Xuanbin, who was protecting him, closed his eyes and meditated.

Except for Zhou Yang, the four Zhou family cultivators in "Haoyang Cave" are already at the ninth level of Qi training, and their mana cannot be increased by one more point.

Therefore, in order not to disturb Zhou Yang's practice on weekdays, they all practice in the caves outside, and every day they take turns to assign one person to retreat here as the guardian of Zhou Yang.

Except for Zhou Yang, there is no one in the entire Zhou family with this kind of treatment.

Zhou Yang also felt a lot of pressure because of this. He knew that only if he succeeded in building a foundation could he be worthy of the sacrifices of these family elders.
