Immortal cultivation begins in the desert

FD, see after 3:30)

"The constitution of this [foundation building meeting] has been decided. Except that I will participate in the battle of besieging the fourth order monsters at home and abroad, the rest of the Zhou family only need to cooperate with the friars of the Chen family to form an array to eliminate the low-order monsters."

"Due to the oath, I can't disclose the specific objectives of this action at present. I can only say that if the Chen family's news is correct, the risk of this action should be smaller than that of previous times."

"So from tomorrow, yun'er and Qi'er, the five friars participating in the Qi training period, will go to baituoling with me to practice the array with other friars participating in the war. Remember, you only have one month to prepare."

A few days later, on the third floor of the "Yuquan building", Zhou Minghan, the old patriarch who discussed the details of the "foundation building meeting" from the Chen family, arrived here and told the high-level Zhou family present about the discussion.

Zhou Yang knew that once the monster reached the fourth level and condensed the demon pill, his wisdom would increase greatly. He knew how to accept other monster as his subordinates.

Therefore, many third-order monsters and second-order monsters are often gathered around the fourth-order monsters in the boundless sand sea. The number of third-order monsters around some fourth-order monsters can even reach more than a dozen.

A fourth order monster is at the home of its own nest. With the help of more than a dozen third-order monsters and hundreds or even hundreds of second-order monsters, it is the late friars of the purple house like the ancestors of the Chen family who dare not come to the door to touch the tiger's beard.

This is why the ancestors of the Chen family are still willing to sell zhujidan to other families when they can refine zhujidan, because even if they kill the fourth level monster to obtain the demon Dan, they will suffer heavy losses and the gains outweigh the losses.

Is the fourth order monster so easy to kill?

The frenzied counterattack of a fourth-order monster before its death may also hurt later masters of the purple house, such as the ancestors of the Chen family, not to mention those friars whose accomplishments are less than that of the purple house.

In fact, every time the Chen family organized people to hunt the fourth order monster, the foundation period friars fell. The worst time, five foundation period friars fell at a time, which directly led to the decline of several foundation families.

However, even so, in order to obtain the foundation Dan and continue the family inheritance, small families such as the Zhou family can only join it.

This is the helplessness of the small family!

At this time, after finishing his business, the old patriarch Zhou Minghan took out several jade slips and handed them to Zhou Yang, saying, "Xiao Jiu, this is the foundation building experience recorded by me, your father and other foundation building friars in the family. Take a good look these days. When we get back from eliminating demons, Chen Laozu will open the furnace to refine pills immediately. At that time, you will directly impact the foundation building in baituoling."

"Don't worry, great grandfather. Your grandson won't let you down." Zhou Yang took the jade slips and nodded with a dignified look.

Foundation building is the most important thing for practitioners of immortals during the Qi practice period. Anything that can increase the success rate of foundation building is enough to be robbed by the nine layer monks who are interested in Qi practice.

For the foundation building family like the Zhou family, the younger friars have the foundation building experience of their predecessors as a reference, which can avoid many detours and avoid many avoidable risks.

For those casual monks, if they do not have the foundation building experience of their predecessors as a reference, they need to fight and gamble completely by luck and understanding.

Many casual repairs have no reference to previous experience. Even if they are lucky enough to succeed in building the foundation, they will leave some hidden wounds after building the foundation and affect the road in the future.

Zhou Yang had no doubt that if he sold the jade slips in his hand, even if he offered a thousand spirit stones, there would be scattered repairs willing to buy them.

However, this behavior, which is equivalent to selling ancestral property, is an unforgivable felony for any family. Even if he is short of money, he can't do such a thing that makes the friars of the whole family poke the backbone.

In the next month, Zhou Yang didn't see the old patriarch and several other elders participating in the war again. He didn't go out with his adoptive mother Zhou Xuanyu until the agreed date of departure.

This time, Zhou Yang also saw the friars of Zifu period for the first time. Although he was watching from thousands of meters away, he could also feel the unfathomable strong breath of the Chen family's ancestors.

At the same time, it was also the first time he saw the spectacular gathering of more than a dozen foundation building friars and hundreds of late Qi training friars.

Zhou Yang counted, including the old patriarch Zhou Minghan, a total of 17 base building friars participated in the demon hunting operation. Among them, there were only four base building friars in the Chen family. Among the remaining 13, except for three scattered base building friars, they were all base building friars of a small family like the Zhou family.

Among the 124 friars in the later period of Qi practice, the friars in the Qi practice period of the Chen family account for 48 people. Nearly half of these people, including friars in the Qi practice period of other families, are old friars with a long life, just like the two "light" generation elders in the Zhou family. It seems that they also want to give play to the waste heat in the last afterglow of their life and contribute to the family.

After seeing off lasted about half a day, Zhou Yang saw a very shocking scene.

With a wave of his big sleeve, the Chen family ancestor released a glittering green spirit boat. The green spirit boat was only a few feet long at first, but when the Chen family ancestor injected magic power, the spirit boat soared in the wind and became a huge building ship more than ten feet long.

Then, under the control of the Chen family's ancestors, the huge building ship sent out a blue light to sweep down, sweeping a large area of the ground and integrating all the friars in the Qi training period into the space inside the ship. Seeing this, friars Zhou Minghan and other friars in the foundation period also flew into the building ship one after another.

As soon as these people got on board, the huge building ship loaded with more than 100 people turned into a blue light and quickly flew away from the sky.

"Isn't it shocking? This huge building ship is a fourth-order middle-class magic weapon. It is a treasure obtained by Chen Laozu during his visit to the immortal world of liuyunzhou. It is said that the refining main material of the building ship is slightly related to the legendary seventh order divine tree [empty mulberry divine tree]. The space inside is large enough to accommodate hundreds of people and it is not too crowded! "

Before Zhou Yang recovered from the shock of the huge building ship, he heard the envious words of his adoptive mother Zhou Xuanyu.

With a flash in his eyes, he exclaimed: "[empty mulberry tree]? Godmother, are you sure you're right? That's the legendary divine tree that can hold a world! "

Zhou Xuanyu was not surprised by Zhou Yang's look, because she didn't look any better than Zhou Yang when she heard the old patriarch Zhou Minghan talk about it.

Then he nodded and said: "of course, it is recorded in the records of wonders of heaven and earth. Tens of thousands of years ago, a branch of the [empty mulberry divine tree] fell from the sky and was obtained by a real immortal during the period of robbery. Later, the real immortal grafted it onto a sixth level spiritual tree with the immortal family magic skill [flower transplanting tree], and the [empty mulberry divine tree] took root in this world."

Zhou Yang thought of the record of "empty mulberry tree" he had seen in the records of rare treasures of heaven and earth, and quickly responded: "yes, I have read this record, and I also know that the sixth level spirit tree was cultivated by the spirit planters. The first generation of branch seedlings is also said to be the sixth level spirit tree, which is called" empty mulberry tree ", It is the best material for refining the transmission array disk and space arrays and magic tools. It can't even compare with the sixth level spirit [xuanjing stone] with the same space attribute. "

"That's it. Since even the spirit wood grafted by [empty mulberry tree] can cultivate ramets, why can't the sixth level spirit wood [empty mulberry tree]? The giant building ship in the hands of Chen Laozu is said to be refined from [empty mulberry] plants. " Zhou Xuanyu pointed to Zhou Yang's forehead and said with a smile.

"I see!"

Zhou Yang suddenly smiled with curiosity and satisfaction on his face.

Seeing this, Zhou Xuanyu patted him on the shoulder with a spoiled face and said, "well, let's go back, and then we'll wait for Grandpa's good news."

Baisha River Oasis is thousands of miles away in the sand sea.

Soon after Chen's ancestors flew over Baisha River Oasis in a huge building ship, a red flame flew thousands of miles away from Baisha River Oasis and fell into the hands of a black monk waiting here.

"Chen Yaohui has taken people away. Come quickly!"

Hearing the sound before the fire in his hand dissipated, the black robed friar looked happy and couldn't help laughing and said, "hahaha, the old thief Chen Yaohui has finally left. In that case, it's time for us to act."

Before the laughter fell, the black robed friar flashed yellow light and directly performed the "earth hiding technique" to escape into the ground.

Half a day later, the black robed monk who escaped into the ground reappeared on the ground, but this time there were not only him, but hundreds of black robed immortals dressed in black robes like him.

The hundreds of black robed immortals are all dressed in black robes and masked. Everyone only shows a pair of eyes outside. Everyone's eyes radiate the light of greed like a wolf.

Sand bandit!

These black robed immortals are all sand bandits!

It is very common for sand bandits to rob oases. Not every oasis in the boundless sand sea has a base building period. Many small oases without third-order spiritual pulse are occupied by small families during Qi training period or powerful scattered cultivation during Qi training period.

After these small families or sanxiu occupy the oasis, they will also cultivate spiritual veins and raise mortals, and select mortals with spiritual roots to teach immortal cultivation skills and accept them as disciples. Most of the sources of sanxiu come from these small oases.

Since these small oases are not guarded by monks during the foundation period, they will naturally become the object of sand bandits' looting. Basically, as long as the location is exposed, it is difficult to escape sand bandits' looting.

However, sand bandits dare to loot small oases without monks in the foundation period, and even medium-sized oases with monks in the foundation period, such as Yuquan Lake oasis, but in any case, they should dare not and have no ability to loot large oases such as Baisha River Oasis.

But now, after hundreds of black robed sand bandits appeared, they went straight to Baisha River Oasis thousands of miles away.

It can be seen that these sand bandits are either crazy or all crazy, or they have something to rely on. They think that without the Baisha River Oasis dominated by the purple friar of the Chen family, they can't stop their looting.

When these sand bandits were marching, there were more than ten swords flying in the sky. Obviously, they were the latter.

……

……

On the other hand, Zhou Yang and Zhou Xuanyu sent off the old patriarch and returned to the "Yuquan building".

Zhou Yang continued to read and speculate on the foundation building experience recorded by his predecessors, while Zhou Xuanyu closed the door and drew a talisman in the quiet room in the backyard as usual.

In other words, the reason why the Zhou family let her, a common affairs elder who has not been out of the family for many years, take over the "Yuquan building" is also because there is no profit for the moment after Zhou Yang started the magic ware business here.

Previously, because the Zhou family had Zhou Minghan, a third-class top-grade alchemist, the "Yuquan building" had always been the main business of magic tools. Until Zhou Xuanhao, a second-class top-grade alchemist, settled in, it made pills and magic tools become the main business at the same time.

However, when Zhou Yang took over, "Yuquan building" became the main magic weapon again, and suddenly the magic weapon business of the whole square city was depressed.

In view of this, after struggling and hesitating, the old patriarch Zhou Minghan sent Zhou Xuanyu, his granddaughter, to the square city, hoping to change the main business of "Yuquan building" with his exquisite talisman making skills.

The current revenue sources of the Zhou family are relatively single, with only two kinds. One is the sales of the resources of Qingping mountain refined iron vein and the [golden pearl rice] planted in the Lingtian on Yuquan peak, and the other is the income of the two stores of "Yuquan building" and "Zuixian building".

The first of these two sources of income is stable and long-term, but the disadvantages are also obvious. The income is relatively fixed every year and will not rise or fall sharply.

Second, if you encounter the opportunity brought by Zhou Yang's great refining, the income earned in one year can top the total income of the family in the past few years.

In particular, now the reputation of "Yuquan building" has been established. When many immortals come to the square market to buy spiritual objects, they will visit here. These are high-quality customers.

The magic tools, pills, talismans and even arrays made by friars of the Zhou family can be sold quickly in the "Yuquan building" as long as they are of good quality and affordable.

After these things were sold, not only did the friars of the Zhou family who sold them on consignment make money from Lingshi, but also the family could get a lot of money from them, which greatly alleviated the family's difficult financial situation.

If you don't pay attention to management, fame always comes and goes quickly.

Once those monks who come to "Yuquan building" for shopping find that there is nothing attractive here except magic tools, they may not come to visit next time.

Therefore, even though the old patriarch Zhou Minghan was reluctant to let Zhou Xuanyu's granddaughter stay away from the family and himself. For the sake of family development, he had to let him come to the square city.

When Zhou Xuanyu finished drawing more than half of a second-order middle-class talisman and was ready to finish, a deafening bell rang in the square city. The bell rang nine times in a row. The sound insulation array outside the quiet room seemed to have failed at this time and had no effect at all.

Boom!

Zhou Xuanyu's jade hand holding the talisman pen trembled slightly. Because the mind of the talisman maker was rippling, the upcoming talisman exploded into a mass of flame and turned into ashes.

However, Zhou Xuanyu could not care about this at this time. After hearing the bell, she was stunned and looked at the direction of the bell, the top of Jinxia mountain.

"[Jingshen bell] Jiuming, this is the warning issued when the square city is attacked by the enemies of Zifu period and the fourth order monsters!"

"Why? Why is it so coincidence? Why did Chen Laozu and grandpa have such a strong enemy attack not long after they left? "

"No, no, it's a conspiracy! This must be a long planned plot! Danger, the city is in danger! "

Zhou Xuanyu's pretty face suddenly changed color. He quickly put away the rune pen and rushed out of the quiet room to the "Yuquan building".

As soon as she got downstairs, she saw that Zhou Yang and others in the building had all walked out of the attic and were looking up at the top of the mountain.

At this time, over the top of Jinxia mountain, all the three foundation building monks stationed in Fangshi in the year of Chen Jiachang have gone out of the cave and are hovering in the sky with the sword light, looking at the countless monks in Fangshi below.

"Fellow Taoists, I just received a warning from the family friars in front. A large number of sand bandits are killing the square city. Among them, there are not only more than a dozen friars in the foundation building period, but also friars in the purple mansion period!"

"Because the enemy is strong this time, we can't guarantee that we can protect all the monks in the square city. Therefore, if you want to leave the square city to make a living, I'll give you a quarter of an hour."

"In a quarter of an hour, all friars who don't want to leave the market must obey our instructions. I declare first that if someone doesn't want to leave and slows down on my orders, be careful that I take his head with a flying sword in my hand!"

"Well, time is pressing. Now you Taoist friends can make a choice!"

The cold voice came from the three friars in the foundation period. With the spread of magic power, it instantly spread all over the square city, just like a huge stone hitting the water, causing an uproar.

Although most of the monks who understood the meaning of the bell had some preparations when they heard the nine consecutive rings of the "startling bell", they really heard the actual situation from the friars of the foundation period of Chen family, which still made all the friars feel incredible and shocked.

"Did I hear you right? The elder said it was a sand bandit attack? When do sand bandits have the courage to attack xiuxianfang City guarded by several friars in the foundation period and fourth order array? "

"Sand bandit! It's a sand bandit! This is terrible! Sand bandits are evil spirits who eat people and don't spit bones. They have no humanity. If the square city is broken by them, they will kill us even if we hand over the storage bag! "

"Conspiracy, this is a long planned conspiracy! If we want to unite more than a dozen sand bandits during the foundation construction period, it is impossible for ordinary purple friars. The square city is dangerous. We'd better run away. The goal of these sand bandits is only friars of major families in the square city. As long as we scattered repair fish and shrimp don't provoke them, they won't be willing to cause more trouble! "

Whoosh!

The flying sword broke through the air and instantly cut off the head of the monk shouting "conspiracy" to the ground.

"Clown, I'll satisfy you in such a hurry to die!"

Cold laughter filled with disdain rang out from the sky. Friar Chen jiazhuji, who released his flying sword to kill, looked coldly at the lower level, and the low-level monks trembled by this scene shouted: "I know there must be spies from sand bandits among you, so if you want to receive the reward alive, you'd better shut up and get out of the market now, Otherwise, if I find you showing a trace of horse feet in the back, let's see if the flying sword in my hand recognizes you! "

"Anyone who dares to deceive the public will be dealt with as a spy!"

As soon as the voice fell this time, the remaining monks in the square city looked at me and I looked at you. No one dared to talk about anything. They all thought about their way with flashing eyes.

The friar who was killed just now, whether it was a spy sent by the sand bandits outside or innocent, was not important to other friars who were not related to him.

What's important is that although he died, what he said is not unreasonable. The sand bandits attacked the square city for money, of course, and many casual monks feel poor. Compared with those rich family monks in the square city, it should not be easy to attract the attention of the sand bandits.

Therefore, after the Chen family foundation building friar finished, soon a bold friar arched his hands at the three foundation building friars in the sky and said, "excuse me, senior, it's not easy for me to practice hard and don't want to lose my life here. Please forgive me for being rude!"

This time, the Chen family friar who killed by the sword didn't make any moves. Only another white haired old friar, with a wry smile on his face, nodded to the Friar and replied, "you little Taoist friends, let's go if you want to go. It's my Chen family's fault with you. If the square city can be saved this time, I should ask the family to reduce the detention fee in the square city by half in the next ten years, Thank you for your support! "
