Cultivation Begins From The Desert

The level of the spiritual veins on Jinxia Mountain is the third-rank top-grade, which is one level higher than that of the Zhou family's Yuquan Peak. Even if the location of "Yuquan Tower" is not the spiritual eye of this mountain's spiritual veins, the aura environment is completely sufficient. It is used for cultivators like Zhou Yang to break through the small realm.

After only nine days of seclusion in the retreat room in the backyard of "Yuquan Building", he successfully broke through the barrier of cultivation that had trapped him for more than a year. Here comes the first ninth-level qi training cultivator under the age of forty.

It was also after breaking through to the ninth level of qi training that Zhou Yang only understood why the Zhou family could only serve as the clan elder by a ninth-level qi training cultivator.

He didn't know what happened to others. Anyway, after he broke through from the eighth level of qi training to the ninth level of qi training, his mana had doubled, his spiritual sense had also doubled, and the range of his spiritual sense had reached 300 meters. Far!

This kind of mana consciousness is enough for him to use four or five second-rank high-grade instruments to fight with people for half an hour at the same time, and the combat power is incomparable compared to before.

According to the Zhou family's family rules, after the Zhou family cultivator breaks through to the ninth level of Qi training, as long as he reports to the family, the old patriarch Zhou Minghan will confer the position of the family elder on behalf of the family.

If Zhou Yang breaks through to the ninth level of Qi training in the Yuquan Lake oasis, it is estimated that he will become the ninth elder of the Zhou family that day.

The reason why he was the ninth elder was because his father Zhou Xuanhao had already held the foundation-building celebration after the successful foundation-building ceremony. On behalf of the family, the old patriarch, Zhou Minghan, had conferred the post of a higher-level elder. This freed up a position for the ninth elder of the Zhou family.

In principle, the Supreme Elder and the Clan Patriarch are on an equal footing. Even the Patriarch has no right to directly issue any orders to him. Even when the Clan Patriarch commits a big mistake and causes heavy losses to the family, the Supreme Elder still has the right to do so. Call the elders to vote to remove their patriarch.

But in fact, under the family system, the status of the Supreme Elder is still lower than that of the patriarch. To put it bluntly, the Supreme Elder is a noble position with a high status but not much real power. As long as the patriarch does not make mistakes and does not offend the clan With all the complaints, the elder Taishang can only be a mascot, leading Gao to worship with peace of mind.

For those who have a strong desire for power and control, of course they don't like being a Supreme Elder who seems to be noble but does not have much real power, but there are not many such people among immortal cultivators.

Therefore, the actual situation in the world of immortality is that high-level monks among the major forces often like to be the elders who only lead the worship and do less work, and do not want to waste their precious cultivation time dealing with those sect chores.

Anyway, the great power of the immortal cultivator is attributed to himself. As long as his own cultivation base is still there, even if he is a leisurely elder, no one dares to ignore his own existence.

Therefore, Zhou Yang is actually very envious of his father, Zhou Xuanhao, becoming the Supreme Elder.

It's a pity that he is only envious. As the next patriarch of the Zhou family who was almost appointed by default, even if he succeeds in building a foundation, he will not want to be a leisurely elder. In the future, the ship of the Zhou family can only be steered by him.

"Ninth brother, ninth brother, the family caravan is back, Sixth Uncle and Eleventh Uncle followed the caravan back to Fangshi!"

On this day, when Zhou Yang was looking at the books he bought on the third floor of the "Yuquan Building", Zhou Xiong, who had been entertaining guests downstairs, suddenly broke in with a shout, his face full of expressions. Excited color.

"Caravan? Sixth Uncle and Eleventh Uncle? Wait... You mean the caravan that went to Huangshamen with the Chen family caravan a few years ago to pay tribute to the trade came back?"

Zhou Yang muttered a few words to himself following the words of his clan brother, his face suddenly condensed, and the look in his eyes instantly became solemn.

Whether it is the Chen family or the Zhou family, they are all families affiliated to Huangshamen. Every ten years, the surrounding families affiliated to Huangshamen will jointly organize a caravan to carry a large number of spiritual things to Huangshamen. The mountain gate is located where tribute and trade.

This caravan is generally headed by the Chen family's foundation-building cultivator, and the rest of the foundation-building families such as the Zhou family each send a few qi-cultivating cultivators to join it, and then form a camel caravan from the Baisha River oasis. It takes thousands of miles to reach the giant oasis where the Huangshamen Mountain Gate is located.

According to Zhou Yang's knowledge, more than two years ago, the sixth uncle Zhou Xuanjing, the clan elder, and the eleventh uncle Zhou Xuankun, who had the eighth-level Qi training, brought two cultivators from the Zhou family and three "Yuan" descendants. Followed the caravan to Huangshamen.

An ordinary family cultivator like Zhou Xiong only knew that this time the caravan went to Huangshamen to pay tribute and trade as before.

However, Zhou Yang knew that this time the caravan went to Huangshamen, and there was actually another task, and that was to retrieve the last few pre-ordered refining foundation pills for the ancestor Chen Yaohui of the Chen family.

Now that the caravan is back, it means that the "Foundation Conference" that the old patriarch Zhou Minghan told him will be held soon.

Sure enough, when he met the sixth uncle Zhou Xuanjing and the eleventh uncle Zhou Xuankun, he immediately saw the invitation letter written by the old ancestor of the Chen family in the hands of the sixth uncle, and invited the old patriarch of the Zhou family, Zhou Minghan, to gather at the Chen family ancestral place in Bai Tuoling after half a year. .

"Xiao Jiu, the old patriarch must have also told you about the [Foundation Conference]? Since you have broken through to the ninth level of Qi training, this time our Zhou family must get a Foundation Establishment Pill no matter what. Yes, you must stay in the market for the rest of the time, and don't leave!"

Inside the "Yuquan Tower", UU reading www.uukanshu.com Zhou Xuankun looked at the younger generation whose cultivation level had surpassed his uncle's, with both relief and envy on his face.

He is nearly 20 years younger than Zhou Yang's father, Zhou Xuanhao. Originally, if Zhou Yang hadn't broken through to the ninth level of Qi training, after the Zhou family bought the foundation pill, he would have some opportunities to take it.

It is a pity that although he is also a mid-level spiritual root, due to the injury of a fight in his early years, he has delayed his cultivation for several years, so that his cultivation has still stayed at the eighth level of Qi training without breaking through. This time, it is completely and foundation-building Dan is gone.

"Old Eleven is right, Xiao Jiu, how much snack do you want at this time? It's better to be careful about everything outside than in the family."

Zhou Xuanjing glanced at the clan brother with a complicated expression next to him, and also looked at Zhou Yang and warned him.

"Two uncles, don't worry, at this time, unless the old patriarch personally ordered it, the nephew will definitely not step out of the market!"

Zhou Yang understood what the two clan uncles meant. They were worried that after he left Fangshi, he would be persecuted, so that he would miss the opportunity to build a foundation. This kind of thing had precedents in the past.

After all, even if the ancestors of the Chen family had forged a foundation pill, the number would certainly not be large. If the Zhou family got one, it would mean that other families would return empty-handed.

In this case, in order to reduce a competitor, some families secretly persecute the "foundation seeds" of the other family who are expected to establish a foundation. It is also a matter of course.

The old patriarch Zhou Minghan told Zhou Yang about these situations when he left the family, so since he came to Fangshi, he never left Fangshi.

As long as he was in Fang City, the Chen family would endorse his safety. Whoever dared to hurt someone in Fang City would be the enemy of the entire Chen family.
