Cultivation Begins From The Desert

Immortal cultivators do not have as many rituals as mortals. Even if it is a cultivating family like the Zhou family, when the first elder Zhou Qian died, he just summoned all the cultivators of the family on the oasis of Yuquan Lake to the ancestral hall to guard the spirit for three days, and then the old patriarch Zhou Minghan personally cremated the body of the old man Zhou Qian with the fire of building a foundation, and buried the ashes in the family cemetery.

Cremation of the dead body of the family cultivator is the helplessness of the Xiao Xiuxian family.

Because the Xiao Xiuxian family didn't have enough power to guard the family cemetery, they couldn't stop the demon cultivators who had practiced the magic corpse refining technique from stealing the corpses of the ancestors of the family and refining them into zombies.

Once the corpses of the ancestors of the family are turned into zombies by demonic cultivation, it will not only be a great desecration of the corpses of the ancestors, but also the lives of the cultivators of the family and the mortals under the rule of the family.

This is because newly refined zombies need a lot of blood food for their growth, and it is better to feed zombies with people of the same bloodline as zombies.

Therefore, in a small cultivator family like the Zhou family, if someone in the family dies, their body will be cremated and buried, so as not to be used by the magic cultivator.

Only the sects and big clans like Huangshamen who have Jindan ancestors or even the great monks in the Yuanying period will bury their corpses in the cemetery after their sects or high-ranking cultivators of the family pass away. The magic circle and special personnel are specially cared for.

After dealing with the funeral of the first elder Zhou Qian, Zhou Yang was summoned by the old patriarch Zhou Minghan to enter the cave mansion on the top of the mountain for a private question.

"You also know the reason for your grandfather's death. The family is about to dispatch people to clear the monsters on the red flame iron ore vein. You have just broken through to the seventh level of Qi training, and it is the hope of our Zhou family's future foundation, old man. You can decide to let you not participate in this matter, what do you think?"

"Please, great-grandfather, don't do this!"

Zhou Yang's expression changed, he bowed deeply to the old patriarch and gave a salute, then raised his head and said loudly, "The red flame iron ore vein was discovered by my grandson, and I will give my grandson a dividend in the future. If you don’t participate in the war, you can just sit back and enjoy the success, how to convince other clansmen? How to reflect the fairness and justice of the family’s rules?”

"Although my grandson is not talented, he is willing to use what he has learned throughout his life to contribute to the expansion of our Zhou family's territory!"

Speaking of the end, Zhou Yang couldn't help but took out a [Armor Piercing Dagger] from his waist and held it in his hand, as if to prove his determination.

Seeing his impassioned appearance, the old patriarch Zhou Minghan felt relieved and funny.

"Alright, alright, the old man knows your determination, put away the magic weapon first, then you will be counted as one head!"

The old man smiled and waved his hand. He really admired Zhou Yang's courage to use a knife in front of him.

A qi-training cultivator dares to use a knife in front of a foundation-building cultivator, no matter what the reason is, it is a kind of great courage.

Moreover, this incident also proved Zhou Yang's loyalty to the Zhou family. If he didn't really agree with the family, how could he say such impassioned words just now? How could he uncontrollably draw his sword in front of the patriarch of the foundation-building period?

It didn't hurt this kid in vain!

The old man sighed with relief in his heart, and his face softened a lot. Looking at Zhou Yang's eyes, he was full of love as if he were looking at his own grandson.

"Since you have this determination, Xiaojiu, this old man will tell you the truth. After about ten years, no more than fifteen years at the most, the Chen family ancestors in Jinshafang City will organize people to plan and refine the foundation pill. It's a matter of fact, our Zhou family and Chen family are in an alliance, and as long as a Foundation Establishment cultivator participates in this matter, they will be able to get the bidding rights of Foundation Establishment Dan."

"Once the family obtains the Foundation Establishment Pill in the auction, it will definitely be taken immediately, so Xiao Jiu, you must work hard to cultivate to the ninth level of Qi practice in the next ten years, otherwise this opportunity will be missed in vain. !"

The old patriarch looked at Zhou Yang with a loving look on his face, and said slowly and solemnly this secret matter that was enough to cause shock to the entire Zhou family.

And after listening to the old patriarch's words, Zhou Yang's pupils shrank suddenly, and his breathing became heavier in an instant.

That's the "Building Kidney Dan"!

During these years of cultivation, Zhou Yang has never been particularly interested in a certain spiritual object, but the only spiritual object "Building Foundation Pill" is something that he is particularly concerned about and is determined to obtain.

In terms of grade, the "Foundation Pill" is only a third-order low-grade elixir, but its appeal to the vast number of cultivators in the Qi training period is incomparable to fifth-order elixir.

It's a well-known fact that "Building Foundation Dan" is rare.

To refine a pot of "Foundation Pill", not only the main medicine needs to use the rare fourth-order spirit medicine [Ning Yuanguo] or a fourth-order monster beast and demon pill, but also thirty-six extremely rare third-order spirit medicines are needed as the main medicine. Auxiliary medicine, the value of these elixir combined is greater than the value of the elixir needed to refine a furnace of fourth-order elixir.

Even a sect like Huangshamen, which has been passed down for thousands of years and has Jindan ancestors in charge, can only refine a batch of "Building Foundation Dan" every ten years, and the number of medicinal pills released each time is only five to seven pieces.

With such a small number, the people in Huangshamen's own sect are not divided enough, let alone the small Xiuxian family attached to Huangshamen like the Zhou family.

Therefore, if a small cultivator family like the Zhou family wants to obtain the foundation pill, they can either exchange a main medicine for refining the foundation pill, or cooperate with other immortal cultivators to make alchemy.

Zhou Yang had also heard of the Chen family in the mouth of the old patriarch Zhou Minghan since he was a child. The Chen family is a family of cultivators that has been passed down for more than 700 years. The alchemist.

As a monk born in a non-sect, even if the ancestor of the Chen family was a master of the Zifu period, it was impossible for him to obtain the "Foundation Pill" from Huangshamen for the younger generation of the family.

Therefore, after the ancestors of the Chen family advanced to the Purple House period, a "Foundation Conference" will be organized every 30 to 50 years. At that time, the invited cultivators or the masters of the scattered cultivating foundations, as long as they are willing to help the Chen family. Zu Yi teamed up to hunt down fourth-order monsters in the boundless sand sea to obtain fourth-order demon pills, and then they could obtain the right to bid for "Establishment Pills" after they became "Establishment Pills".

That's how the "Foundation Pill" that the Zhou family bought more than 60 years ago.

At that time, in order to buy the "Foundation Pill", not only the savings of the Zhou family was emptied, but also the second founder of the Zhou family after Zhou Yuquan's ancestor, Zhou Jian, who was born with the character "Hua", was seriously injured and died. Yuan was greatly reduced, and the lifespan of less than 200 years was lost.

And that Zhou Jian's ancestor was the grandfather of Zhou Qian, the first elder of the Zhou family who passed away a few days ago.

Now that he learned from the old patriarch Zhou Minghan that the Zhou family was going to participate in the "Foundation Conference", Zhou Yang was excited and excited, but he couldn't help but show a look of worry.

He was not worried about the fact that he only had more than ten years of preparation time, but about the fact that the old patriarch Zhou Minghan participated in the "Foundation Conference".

Although the old patriarch Zhou Minghan is already a late stage cultivator of the seventh floor of the foundation establishment, and a third-order high-grade artifact refiner, when facing the fourth-order monsters whose strength is equivalent to the cultivator of the Zifu period, this strength is also not enough. It's not enough to see, the fourth-order monster can make the old patriarch fall with a single blow.

As the only surviving cultivator of the Zhou family at the foundation-building stage, if the old patriarch Zhou Minghan is seriously injured or dies, it will be a terrible news for the entire Zhou family, and it is very likely that this will lead to the demise of the Zhou family.

By that time, even if Zhou Yang has successfully obtained the Foundation Establishment Pill, he will never feel at ease in this life.

Therefore, he thought for a while, and finally couldn't help but ask: "Great-grandfather, grandson once heard that you can reach Floating Cloud Continent by crossing the sand sea 40,000 miles to the east and turning over the Broken Cloud Mountains, which are high into the clouds. In the world of immortality, there are abundant resources for immortal cultivation. Even the foundation building pills can be bought in Fangshi with spirit stones. Why don’t we go there to buy foundation building pills? We insist that a foundation building period cultivator like you take the risk to hunt the fourth-order demon. beast?"

Regarding the matter of Liu Yunzhou's cultivation world, Zhou Yang accidentally learned from the notes of an artifact refiner when he read the artifact refining books in the past few years.

Later, he asked the old man Zhou Quan, but even the old man Zhou Quan, who had lived for more than a hundred years, only knew the place name of Liuyunzhou Immortal Cultivation World, and he didn't know much about the specific situation.

Originally, when he returned to the family this time, he also wanted to ask the old patriarch Zhou Minghan about this matter, but unfortunately he retreated after returning, but he temporarily forgot about it. Remember this.

And the situation was just as he expected. As a foundation-building cultivator and a clan leader, the old patriarch Zhou Minghan knew a lot about the Floating Cloud Continent's Immortal Cultivation World.

"It's rare, Xiao Jiu, that you also know the Floating Cloud Continent Cultivation Realm, but unfortunately you only know the prosperity of the Floating Cloud Continent Cultivation Realm, but you don't know how many dangerous places you have to pass from here to the Floating Cloud Continent Cultivation Realm!"

"Not to mention how many powerful monsters and robbers are hidden in the 40,000-mile sand sea, even in the Broken Cloud Mountains, all kinds of third- and fourth-order monsters are not uncommon, and it is rumored that there are comparable The sixth-order monsters of the Yuan Ying cultivators live in seclusion!"

"Climbing over the Broken Cloud Mountains without the cultivation of the Zifu period is a total bet on your life, betting on whether you will be discovered by the monsters and become the rations of the monsters!"

"Finally, even if you were lucky enough to cross the Broken Cloud Mountain Range to the Floating Cloud Continent Cultivation Realm, and bought the Foundation Establishment Pill, do you think an outside foundation-building cultivator with such a treasure could still safely return to the Far West? "

Zhou Yang was immediately speechless.

The common man is innocent, but he is guilty!

The old patriarch was right, the spiritual item "Foundation Pill" is too precious, so precious that even if a foundation-building cultivator carried it on his body, it would easily lead to death.

If a small family like the Zhou family got this kind of treasure, they would usually let the ninth-level Qi cultivator in the clan consume it immediately, otherwise the news would be known to outsiders, and it would likely lead to the annihilation of the family.

That's why the old patriarch told him before that he must cultivate to the ninth level of Qi training before the "Foundation Conference" in more than ten years, otherwise the family will get the "Foundation Pill", and he will definitely It's not his part.

"My grandson understands, please rest assured my great-grandfather, my grandson will definitely cultivate to the ninth level of Qi training before the [Foundation Conference], and it will not let you and your family's efforts go to waste!"

He pursed his lips and looked firmly at the old patriarch who issued the military order.
