Cultivation Begins From The Desert

One mountain cannot accommodate two tigers, this truth will never go out of date.

The Baishahe Immortal Cultivation Realm is only so big, it is more than enough to accommodate one Zifu family, but it is impossible to accommodate two Zifu families!

If the Zhou family was promoted to the Zifu family, the status of the Chen family would become very embarrassing.

Everyone is a family under Huang Shamen's command. If the Zhou family is also promoted to become the Zifu family, how can the Chen family make the Zhou family obey?

When the time comes between the two families, even if the higher-ups can refrain from doing anything, what about the people below?

The Baishahe Immortal Cultivation World is so big and has so many resources. When the Chen family dominates, no one dares to say anything, but if the Zhou family is promoted to become the Zifu family, the problems inside will be complicated.

Therefore, no matter how good the relationship between the ancestors of the Chen family was and how deep their friendship was with the Zhou family, in the face of family interests, they must attack or warn the Zhou family.

For Zhou Yang, if it was the former Chen family, even if he received this warning, he would not take it seriously.

Because the old ancestor of the Chen family had a short lifespan, he just had to delay for a few decades, and when the old ancestor of the Chen family died, the Chen family without the monks of the Zifu period might not be taken seriously by him.

But now it's different, now the Chen family has become the only family in the Boundless Sand Sea Cultivation Realm in the Shuangzifu family, owning Chen Pingan, a new Zifu monk whose lifespan is less than half of the normal Zifu monks.

Even if the old ancestor of the Chen family dies, the Chen family will still be the Zifu family and the overlord of the Baishahe immortal world for hundreds of years.

He believed that it was probably because of this that the ancestor of the Chen family dared to warn the Zhou family and beat the Zhou family even though he knew that he had a good relationship with Cao Wenjin.

You must know that the current ancestor of the Chen family is the only fourth-rank top-grade alchemist in the entire Boundless Sand Sea Cultivation World. punish him.

"It seems that Old Ancestor Chen felt that our sale of [Xuanqing Pill] was a bit too high-profile, so he beat us a little and told us to recognize the reality!"

"Since this is the case, we will accept the beating and try to keep a low profile in the future. As long as no one from our Zhou family has been promoted to the Purple Mansion and does not touch the core interests of his Chen family, he should not take the risk of directly attacking us! "

After Zhou Yang pondered for a while, he expressed his analysis and thoughts calmly.

"Xiao Jiu, what you said is all right, but what I am worried about now is that since Old Ancestor Chen has become jealous of our Zhou family, even if he doesn't attack us personally, as long as he is hunting the fourth-order monsters, he will be a little bit Put some water in, I'm afraid my life will be in danger!"

Zhou Minghan looked at Zhou Yang with a serious expression, and expressed his worries with a worried expression.

This matter is what he is really worried about.

"Great-grandfather, your worries are not unreasonable, but we can also make more preparations for this matter. Didn't Cao Laozu give me 90,000 Huangshamen merit points? We can find out which monks in Huangshamen have fourth-level defense in their hands. Spirit talisman, and then exchange it with merit points at a high price, then it will be really dangerous, at worst, it will cost a magic talisman!"

"As long as we survive this [Foundation Establishment Conference], even if we face the attack of a fourth-order monster next time, I may not be afraid!"

Zhou Yang thought about it, and said in a deep voice how he should deal with it.

"That's the only way to go!"

Zhou Minghan sighed and nodded in approval of his approach.

It is also a way out to save money and prevent disasters.

After the two discussed things, they walked out of the cave and went to the newly built meeting hall of the Zhou family.

This meeting hall was specially built for the convenience of holding family meetings. The main hall is located on a hillside below the ancestral hall. It is as magnificent as the main hall of a royal palace and can accommodate two to three hundred people to discuss affairs in it.

Xiao Ying also attended the family meeting, and sat next to Zhou Yang, the patriarch.

Originally, this was the position of the old patriarch Zhou Minghan, but under Zhou Minghan's insistence, she had to take this position and accept the salute of all the members of the Zhou family together with Zhou Yang.

In a family cultivating immortals like the Zhou family, the patriarch has the majesty of the patriarch, and he can talk and laugh casually without any formality, but in formal occasions such as family meetings, everyone must maintain respect for the authority of the patriarch.

As Zhou Yang's Taoist companion, Xiao Ying is the patriarch's wife in the Zhou family, so she can naturally share his authority as the patriarch.

"Meet the patriarch."

At this moment, as Zhou Yang walked into the meeting hall and sat down, all the monks of the Zhou family who arrived earlier stood up and saluted him.

"Uncles and brothers, please sit down."

Zhou Yang waved his hand, and the door of the meeting hall was closed tightly.

Then he glanced at hundreds of people, large and small, in the hall, and said in a deep voice: "It has been more than ten years since the last family meeting was held. The responsibility of the patriarch, so after returning this time, I want to hold a family meeting to help me understand the current situation of the family, and at the same time discuss and solve some problems encountered by the family, as well as plans for the future development of the family!"

After explaining the reason for holding this family meeting, Zhou Yang also turned his eyes without hesitation, looked at Zhou Xuankun, the eldest elder of the Zhou family who was sitting at the front seat, and said, "Uncle Eleven, you are now the family member. The Great Elder is also in charge of the family's personnel affairs, so it's up to you to report on the personnel affairs first, and it's best to give a general introduction to everyone's cultivation realm!"

At this time, several days have passed since Zhou Yang came back, because when he came back that day, the old patriarch Zhou Minghan said that a family meeting would be held next, and all the elders and stewards in the family have been busy preparing for it for the past few days. The information is now well prepared.

Hearing Zhou Yang calling himself at this time, Zhou Xuankun immediately stood up and said, "Patriarch Hui, my Zhou family currently has 103 monks, big and small, including one late-stage foundation-establishment monk, one middle-stage foundation-establishment stage and one early-stage foundation-establishment stage cultivator. There are 6 elders on the ninth floor, 5 monks in the late stage of Qi training, 19 monks in the middle stage of Qi training, 43 monks in the early stage of Qi training, 20 monks in the innate realm, and 7 people who have not yet contacted practitioners."

"In addition, my Zhou family has 11 foreign relatives and monks, including one in the foundation building stage, two in the ninth level of Qi training, two in the late stage of Qi training, five in the middle stage of Qi training, and one in the early stage of Qi training."

"By the way, there are also five monks, big and small, from the Lu family living in my Zhou family. Among them, there are two in the late stage of Qi training, one in the early stage of Qi training, and two in the Xiantian realm."

"As for mortals, according to the data obtained from a survey a year ago, there are currently 168,432 secular people in my Zhou family, and 42,635 mortals with other surnames."

Zhou Xuankun's report can be said to be quite detailed, and it can be seen that he must have put in a lot of effort.

This is normal, after going through two family meetings, if there is still no progress, then it is really a lifetime of living like a dog.

"Very good. I didn't expect that in just over ten years, my Zhou family's cultivators doubled. This is very good, very good!"

Zhou Yang applauded again and again with joy on his face, feeling sincerely happy about it.

The number of clansmen with spiritual roots is hundreds of people, which is unprecedented in Zhou Yang, which proves that under his leadership, the Zhou family has indeed prospered and prospered.

Just this point shows that he is very qualified as the patriarch and did not disappoint the elders who had high hopes for him at the beginning.

"However, the father and son of the Lu family only gave birth to three offspring with spiritual roots in more than ten years. This kind of luck is really bad. It seems that the luck of the two of them in this life has been exhausted!"

When Zhou Yang thought of the father and son of the Lu family who discovered that natural oasis, he felt quite emotional.

The father and son are undoubtedly people who have a chance, otherwise they would not have wandered in the sand sea for several years, not only did not die, but found a medium-sized natural oasis.

However, things like chance and luck will not always be with someone.

Otherwise, the two of them would have been coddling at home every day for more than ten years, and they wouldn't have produced only three offspring with spiritual roots!

Shaking his head, without thinking too much about it, Zhou Yang immediately turned his attention to Zhou Xuanhe, the fourteenth uncle who is currently in charge of the Zhou family's finances.

"Uncle Fourteen, you are now in charge of the family's property. Has the family's financial situation improved in the past ten years? How many family contribution points are currently distributed by the family every year?"

At the last family meeting, the late elder Zhou Xuanlin, who was in charge of finances, made a big fuss. Zhou Xuanhe also fully learned the lesson of that clan brother this time. When he heard Zhou Yang asking about himself, he quickly got up and said:

"Patriarch Hui said that the various industries of my Zhou family have not changed much compared to more than ten years ago. What has changed is the scale of the industry. Now the family's spiritual land has reached 260 mu, with a net income of 1300 mu per year. Around Bailingshi, the production capacity of the Chiyan Iron Vein has reached its peak, and the annual net income can reach 1,500 Lingshi."

"After the implementation of the management of Lingguoyuan, according to the tone set by the patriarch before you left, the husband of the family Lingzhi boldly carried out a large number of divisions on the white jade grapes. Although there were many failures, there were more successes. The spirit wine made from white jade grapes can earn three hundred spirit stones a year!"

"In addition, the flame-eating spider spirit beasts domesticated in the family have finished laying eggs again, and the number of eggs laid has reached as many as seventeen. It is expected that this part of the income will double the previous peak period."

"Oh, and the number of Shatuo beasts has also increased by eight, and the number of golden blue sheep has increased by four. These spirit beasts are produced for the family's own use, and the income is difficult to calculate."

"In general, based on the family's annual net income in the previous year, the current annual net income of the family is about 6,500 spirit stones."

"Let's talk about expenses. The family's expenses are mainly the same as those mentioned in the last family meeting. What has changed is the special subsidy for cultivating immortals. Due to the large increase in the number of monks in the family, you, the patriarch, encouraged everyone to learn skills. Now the family The total value of spiritual stones and materials invested in the special subsidy for cultivating immortals has reached 1,500 spiritual stones!"

"Let's talk about the distribution of family contribution points. Now the number of monks who meet the standards for distribution of contribution points in the family is increasing year by year. Every year, more than 4,700 monks will be distributed for welfare and offerings alone, plus subsidies for stewards, as well as dangerous and difficult executions. The special subsidy for the family monks of the task, and now the family's annual contribution points have reached more than 5,200 points!"

"Finally, the family currently has a balance of 15,286 spirit stones in their accounts."

Originally, it would be better to publish this chapter together with the next two chapters, but I can’t let everyone dove as agreed, can I? So let's post it now, everyone, don't worry, when the update is tonight, I must finish writing this plot in one go!
