Cultivation Begins From The Desert

"Brother Liu and Brother Yang, please walk slowly. When the Jiu Jiu Foundation Establishment Ceremony is held in the future, please be sure to show your respect."

"It's absolutely certain. You don't have to go to other people's foundation building celebrations. I will definitely not be absent from Zhou Xiaoyou's foundation building celebrations."

Outside the Zhou family's residence on Jingming Peak, Zhou Yang and Zhou Minghan's grandparents personally sent them out of the courtyard after a secret discussion with the visiting Liu Qingsong and Yang Xingyan for nearly an hour.

Looking at the smiling faces of the several people, it was obvious that they were talking happily and had reached some kind of agreement.

After saying goodbye to the visiting Liu and Yang, Zhou Minghan and Zhou Yang returned to the quiet room, set up a soundproof barrier, and talked about the agreement they had reached with Liu and Yang.

Zhou Minghan first said with a worried look: "I don't know if we're doing it right or not. If it wasn't for the Liu and Yang family to take the lead, this old man really wouldn't dare to think about it. This is a tiger's mouth!"

When Zhou Yang heard what he said, he shook his head and said, "What my great-grandfather said, please forgive my grandson!"

He looked at the worried old patriarch and said calmly: "Yang Xingyan is right, we do this, for the Chen family, it is a matter of mutual benefit, and the Baishahe Oasis needs our strength. Help protect, the Chen family can't finish the scattered repair resources here."

"Our move may make some cultivators in the Chen family uncomfortable, but with the wisdom of Old Ancestor Chen, we should be able to see our determination on this matter and the importance of this matter to our families."

"It is better to block this matter. If the Chen family refuses to give up even this benefit, it means that they do not treat us as allies at all, but regard us as an enemy that threatens the status of their Chen family, then why do we still Do you want to use your own resources to help them rebuild the city?"

When Zhou Minghan heard him say this, his face became even more worried, and he couldn't help sighing heavily: "Hey! Xiaojiu, the old man understands what you said, although my Zhou family is now because of your father and son. The foundation has been established successively, and the high-end combat power is no longer lacking, but the number of monks in the following Qi training period has actually lost a lot, and it is difficult to replenish it in a short time."

"Our families that are linked by blood, in order to avoid the situation where the client is strong and the weak is the weak, after all, we can't attract outsiders to join like the sect. If we want to increase the size of the family quickly, the Chen family's [Fengyuelou] model is the only choice. "

"It's just the way this old man sees Liu and Yang. If the Chen family doesn't agree to our three family's request to open a family branch in the Baishahe Oasis this time, I'm afraid they will join forces to open a market and compete with the Chen family for scattered cultivation resources. At that time, where should our Zhou family go?"

Where should the Zhou family go?

Zhou Yang looked at the worried old patriarch and wanted to ask this question again?

But it would be too disrespectful to answer like that.

He could only helplessly smiled and said: "Great-grandfather, you think too much, if the Chen family doesn't even agree to our small request, even if we don't work with the Liu and Yang family, we have to find another backing, in short The Chen family, who is unwilling to pull out, is definitely not a suitable object to follow!"

Zhou Minghan was stunned.

He looked at Zhou Yang in astonishment, his brows furrowed as if he wanted to say something.

But when he saw Zhou Yang's young face, he suddenly woke up, as if he had understood something, he couldn't help but smiled bitterly: "Xiao Jiu, you are right, if the Chen family would not even agree to our request. , it means that they don't want to see our families grow, so why do we need to follow them? The old man understands what to do!"

He wanted to understand that Zhou Yang was not him. He was already old. For the rest of his life, as long as he saw that the Zhou family could be passed down in his own hands, he would be very satisfied.

But a young man like Zhou Yang must have great ambitions and want to lead the family to grow and develop. Once upon a time, he also had such ambitions when he was young.

In his opinion, what Liu and Yang planned this time was a dangerous move, and if he was not careful, he would attract the suppression of the Chen family, the Zifu family.

But in the eyes of Zhou Yang, who has great ambitions, this is a perfect opportunity to test the Chen family. If the Chen family is not tolerant, then the Zhou family under his leadership will definitely not follow the Chen family. .

As for the subsequent suppression by the Chen family, everyone is so far apart that at most the Zhou family cultivators will no longer set foot on the Baishahe oasis. Can the Chen family go on an expedition to the Yuquan Lake oasis to destroy the Zhou family?

As long as the ancestor of the Chen family didn't lose his mind, it would be impossible to do this.

"Looks like I'm really getting old, even Liu Qingsong, an old guy with half of his feet in the ground, still has his ambitions, but I just want to be a dog that guards the success. Thanks to Xiao Jiu, you are here today, otherwise I The Zhou family is about to miss a great opportunity!"

Zhou Minghan, who wanted to understand, shook his head with a gloomy face, very disheartened.

It's not scary to grow old, what's scary is that the mind ages along with it, especially for the person in power in a family, once the mind ages, the entire family will be influenced by him and then decline.

Seeing this, Zhou Yang hurriedly comforted: "Great-grandfather is just mature and prudent. In the past, the burden of the entire Zhou family was placed on you, of course you dare not take a little risk, if it is not for you to support the family, grandson and father may not be To be able to build the foundation safely, everyone has seen your dedication to your family, so why should you blame yourself for this?"

Zhou Minghan is so shrewd, how could he not be able to hear his comforting words, after hearing the words, he couldn't help but glared: "Okay, don't comfort the old man, you kid, if the old man is wrong, he is wrong, so don't dare to admit it, wait. After returning to the family this time, the old man will hand over the position of the patriarch to you, and then feel at ease as a free-spirited man and enjoy the happiness."

When Zhou Yang heard this, he immediately became anxious and shook his head hurriedly: "How can this be possible? Great-grandfather, you are a good patriarch, and your grandson is still far behind in terms of cultivation and qualifications, so how can you take on such an important task? ?"

"The old man is the patriarch. The old man said that you can do whatever you want. That's the decision!" Zhou Minghan seemed to be really hit, but he didn't listen to Zhou Yang's advice at all. give him.

Ren is how Zhou Yang is eloquent, he is helpless in this situation.

He is not unwilling to take over the position of the patriarch, but that should be after the old patriarch Zhou Minghan took his seat.

Now Zhou Minghan suddenly said that he would pass on the position of the patriarch to him, so he was not in a hurry.

Not to mention that once he takes over the position of the patriarch, it will inevitably delay his cultivation. It is easy to cause gossip when the old patriarch Zhou Minghan still has decades of life expectancy.

People who don't know heard about this, and most would say that he and his father Zhou Xuanhao joined forces to force the palace, forcing Zhou Minghan to abdicate to him in advance.

This would bring great disrepute to him, his father Zhou Xuanhao and even the entire Zhou family's reputation. Zhou Yang didn't understand how the shrewd old patriarch could suddenly be so unwise.

"It's hard. It seems that after returning to the family, I can ask my father and the others to persuade the old patriarch."

He secretly complained in his heart, and he could only pin his hopes on his father Zhou Xuanhao and other clan elders, hoping that these elders could persuade the old clan chief to withdraw his decision.

On this day, as if it had been discussed in advance, the patriarchs of the three families of the Liu family in Chixia Mountain, the Yang family in Jinquangu, and the Zhou family in Yuquanhu suddenly boarded the white hump of the Chen family and directly asked to meet with the old ancestor Chen for discussion. important thing.

Except for the foundation-building cultivator of the Chen family, no one knows what the patriarchs of these three families discussed with Old Ancestor Chen. The other families on Jingming Peak only know that after the patriarchs of Liu, Yang and Zhou Clan came back from White Camel Peak, all the faces There was an unstoppable look of joy on the top, and after returning, he took the clan to return to the family.

The Baishahe Oasis and the Yuquan Lake Oasis are thousands of miles apart. In order to take care of Zhou Xuantai and other qi-cultivating cultivators, Zhou Minghan and Zhou Yang, the two foundation-building cultivators, could only accompany them on the Shatuo beast.

The five Shatuo beasts were ridden by Zhou Xuantai and the others at that time, and they were kept in the Chen family's animal garden. Fortunately, they survived the attack by the sand bandits. However, the two Shatuo beasts that Zhou Yang and Zhou Xuanyu rode at the time were in When they escaped from Jinxia Mountain, they were slaughtered by the two of them.

In addition to the material loss of thousands of spiritual stones in the "Yuquan Tower", there are also six people missing, including Zhou Xuanyu, Wu Tao, Luo Meiwei, Zhou Yuanxia, ​​Zhou Ping, and Zhou Qi. In addition to Zhou Yun, Zhou Qi, and Zhou Xuanjing who died at the mouth of the monster, the entire Zhou family's cultivator team was reduced by 20%.

It was the first time in nearly a hundred years that the Zhou family lost nine cultivators at a time.

Zhou Yang can already predict how saddened the clansmen who are waiting in the family will be when they know the news.

It's just that since you have embarked on the path of cultivating immortals, you will inevitably encounter this situation. This is the price of pursuing longevity!

The way home is long, Zhou Yang didn't want to do nothing for a month or two, so while he was on the road, he and the old patriarch Zhou Minghan learned the "sword control" that only monks in the foundation-building period could practice.

The so-called "flying swordsmanship" does not refer to a single spell, but generally refers to the magic of flying swords.

The real name of the "Flying Sword Art" in the Zhou family's collection should be "Flying Star Sword Art". This sword art is divided into three layers. When the first layer is practiced, the sword can be transformed into sword light and flying. If you use the sword art to control it in battle Feijian can greatly increase the power of Feijian, resulting in various changes.

Generally, cultivators in the Foundation Establishment Period can only learn the first level of the "Flying Star Sword Art", and only those with outstanding talent can learn the "Flying Star Sword Art" on the second floor during the Foundation Establishment Period.

As far as Zhou Yang knows, the reason why Chen Ping'an of the Chen family was able to kill the third-order high-grade monster "Golden Swallowing Toad" with one sword was not only that the flying sword in his hand was a fourth-order magic weapon, but also that he had already killed Chen The family's swordsmanship has reached the second level.

The first level of "Flying Star Sword Art" is not difficult to learn. According to the old patriarch Zhou Minghan, it took him about a year to learn the first level of sword art.

And Zhou Yang benefited from the increased spiritual awareness after the foundation was established, and the old patriarch taught him by words and deeds along the way. When the team just returned to the Yuquan Lake oasis, he successfully practiced the first level of sword art.
