Cultivation Begins From The Desert

Chihushan Oasis.

After the "Liuyunfang" was completed and put into use, Zhou Yang returned to Chihu Mountain to handle various family affairs.

Because it is only a few months before his Purple Mansion celebration is held, many casual cultivators and small family monks who heard the news have come all the way to join in the fun. The arrival of these people is bringing popularity to the Chihushan Oasis At the same time, it also created a lot of trouble.

For example, after two feuding cultivators meet here, they will probably fight on the spot.

However, according to the security regulations compiled by Zhou Yang, it is strictly forbidden for immortal cultivators to fight on the Chihushan oasis, because this will not only make other immortal cultivators who come here feel insecure, but also easily damage the oasis environment.

Therefore, after such a security incident, the monks of the Zhou family's security hall must go to maintain security, persuade or expel both sides of the struggle.

There are also some immortal cultivators who came to the Chihu Mountain Oasis and saw that the land is sparsely populated and there are not many people in the Lingshan Mountains.

Once this kind of person is discovered, it will be more troublesome to deal with, and they cannot be killed directly across the board.

Of course, these are still trivial matters, as long as the arrested person does not involve other cultivating families, the Zhi'an Hall and the Criminal Hall can handle it, and at most report the result to Zhou Yang, the patriarch, to know.

But for some things, Zhou Yang still has to deal with them himself.

For example, after the completion of Fang City, some Foundation Establishment families within 10,000 miles nearby who heard about the situation have already sent Foundation Establishment monks to visit him to discuss the purchase of shops, and some casual Foundation Establishment monks came and heard about Ma Shaoyang and others He also wanted to visit him and asked to rely on the Zhou family to establish a family.

Only he, the patriarch, can decide these things, not even Zhou Guangxiang, who was chosen by him as his successor, can't replace them.

It is easy for him to deal with these matters. Those who buy the store all evade and say that they are only renting and not selling, and they can rent the store for free, but the ownership of the store still belongs to the Zhou family.

He is not stupid. At this time, the Fangshi has just been established. Even if the shop can be sold, how much money can it sell?

If you really want to sell the store, of course, it is more cost-effective to sell it after the popularity of Fangshi City.

As for those Foundation Establishment cultivators who wanted to attach themselves to the Zhou family, Zhou Yang also declined with good words.

Although the Zhou family is not small now, they will still be able to support themselves if they eat too much.

The more foundation-building monks who are vassals, the better. After all, the obligations of vassals are mutual. If you accept too many vassals from foundation-building monks at once, the Zhou family may not be able to take care of them.

After several months of busy work, the day of Zhou Yang Zi Mansion's celebration finally arrived as scheduled.

On this day, the sky was sunny and cloudless.

On the entire Chihu Mountain, including the top of Yuquan Peak where Zhou's family started, there are lanterns and festoons hanging everywhere, representing festive red silk.

The Lingshan Mountain, where few people were seen before, is now crowded with people, as many as two or three thousand people gathered.

These people are all immortal cultivators, there are immortal cultivators in Zifu stage, and there are also immortal cultivators in foundation building stage and Qi training stage.

There were the Zhou family's own immortal cultivators, and there were also immortal cultivators who came to congratulate them.

"The head of Huang Shamen Zhang and his wife presented a congratulatory gift on behalf of Huang Shamen, a fourth-level elixir [Millennium Blood Ginseng]!"

"A congratulatory gift from the Chen family of Baituoling, a piece of the fourth-order spiritual object [Taiyi Fine Gold]!"

"A congratulatory gift from Nie's family in Jinyang Mountain, a piece of the fourth-order spiritual object [Flame Essence Stone]!"

"Cultivator Ma Jingtao from Huang Shamen presents a congratulatory gift, a third-rank top-grade Thunder Talisman!"

...

The voice of the person who sang this resounded through most of Chihu Mountain.

Every time the name of the treasure is uttered from Chang Nuo's mouth, it will cause a burst of exclamation among the audience.

Cultivators in the Zifu period gave fourth-order spiritual objects, and monks in the foundation-building period presented third-level spiritual objects. These are standard congratulatory gifts.

However, there is also a big difference in value between the fourth-order spiritual object and the third-order spiritual object. Many people can judge their relationship with the Zhou family through the value of the gift given by the visitor.

Those who are close to the Zhou family, or those who want to please Zhou Yang, when giving gifts, of course, they will try their best to choose gifts of the same level with higher value.

On the contrary, those who have a normal relationship with the Zhou family will try to choose some things of mediocre value as gifts when giving gifts.

However, regardless of whether they are close to the Zhou family or not, there must be no Foundation Establishment cultivator who would give a second-level spiritual object when giving gifts, because it would be better not to give it.

Of course, there will also be people who, in order to show their loyalty, will give gifts that exceed their own cultivation.

"The Yangquanling Ma family presents a congratulatory gift, a fourth-order elixir [Earthfire Ganoderma lucidum]!"

hiss!

As the singer's voice fell, the audience couldn't help but gasp.

Everyone looked at the monk who offered the gift, that is, Ma Shaoyang, a casual builder who had just joined the Zhou family not long ago.

No one expected that this foundation-building seventh-floor cultivator would be able to produce a rare elixir such as "Earth Fire Ganoderma".

You must know that "earth fire ganoderma" is not ordinary, this thing can only grow in the crater where the magma earth fire flows through, or on the edge of the underground fire abyss.

Due to the special growing environment, it is extremely difficult to rely on artificial cultivation, so the value is particularly high.

Ordinary century-old "Earth Fire Ganoderma" is only a third-order elixir, and "Earth Fire Ganoderma" that is more than five hundred years old can be counted as a fourth-order elixir.

"Ma Daoyou is interested, please take a seat."

After Zhou Yang was stunned for a moment, he immediately nodded his head with a smile and said hello, and let Ma Shaoyang sit at a table closer to the main table.

Originally, Ma Shaoyang was not qualified to sit at such a table in the front, but a "Earth Fire Ganoderma lucidum" gave him the qualification.

But people like Ma Shaoyang who are willing to use the fourth-order elixir to open the way must be only a minority.

Even if the fourth-order spiritual object cannot be used, it can be sold for a very rich price. Now it is used as a gift, or it is given in a celebration, and it is likely to lose money and make money.

There are many monks present, but few of them have such courage.

After all, giving gifts in private and in public has very different meanings.

Because there were too many people invited to the Zifu celebration, and some casual cultivators who had not received the invitation but came to congratulate with their own gifts after hearing the news, joined in, so the ceremony lasted for more than half a day. time just ended.

Fortunately, the immortal cultivators are a very patient group of people. In addition, during this gift ceremony, you can witness all kinds of spiritual objects in the immortal cultivating world, and no immortal cultivator will get bored with it. On the contrary, most of them are I watched it with gusto, wishing it could last longer.

While watching, many people secretly estimated the value of Zhou Yang's gift this time.

As a result, many people were stunned for a while.

According to their estimates, even if a low value is taken, the total value of the gifts Zhou Yang received in this Purple Mansion celebration is at least more than 150,000 spirit stones!

One hundred and fifty thousand spirit stones!

This is not a small sum!

Even if the value of fixed assets such as the family spirit mountain is included in the calculation of many foundation building families, they still cannot gather so many spirit stones.

And now Zhou Yang has received so many spirit stones just for gifts.

There is a saying: You can know the whole leopard from a glimpse.

The current influence of the Zhou family can be seen from this gift.

seeing is believing.

Some casual cultivators who had only heard about how powerful Zhou Yang was and how the Zhou family prospered before could be regarded as truly seeing Zhou Yang's influence this time.

After these casual cultivators saw this, some of them made up their minds to stay in the Chihu Mountain Oasis for a while to see if it was worth staying here.

In this way, Zhou Yang's goal of holding the Zifu celebration was undoubtedly successfully achieved.

Therefore, after the gift offering session was over, he stood up with a smile on his face, cupped his hands to the thousands of guests below, and said in a loud voice: "This is Zhou Yang, thank you all fellow Taoists for taking time out of your busy schedule to attend the week For the celebration of the Purple Mansion, I would like to thank all fellow Taoists for the gifts just now, and now I invite all fellow Taoists to sit down and let Zhou Mou fulfill his friendship as a landlord."

How can a celebration be without eating and drinking?

It is true that the person who gave the gift would not be able to get back their money through eating and drinking, but those guests who did not give the gift but came from afar, all hoped to have a good meal to earn money back.

This is a celebration in the Purple Mansion, the food and drinks prepared must be good, right?

that's the truth.

In order to make this Zifu celebration a success, the Zhou family stopped selling "Golden Pearl Rice" a few years ago, and instead transported the Linggu to the Chihu Mountain Oasis to store it for consumption during the celebration.

At the same time, the various spiritual wines brewed by the Zhou family stopped being sold to the outside world and consumed within the clan as early as Zhou Yang successfully opened up the Zifu, so that the amount of spiritual wine brewed by the Zhou family was enough for thousands of immortal cultivators to drink. .

As for the dishes, in addition to the red turkey, velvet rabbit and other spiritual animal meat domesticated by the Zhou family, most of the monsters killed by the monks of the Zhou family when cleaning up the oasis of Chihu Mountain over the years were also kept for consumption. Save some for this celebration.

But this is not enough.

In order to enrich the dishes, the foundation-building monks of the Zhou family went to several families that domesticated other types of edible spirit beasts to buy a batch of goods, and also bought a lot of edible and medicinal low-level elixir for use. When vegetables.

There is wine, food, and rice, and of course the spiritual fruit is also indispensable.

However, there are not many types of spiritual fruit trees in the world of cultivating immortals in the boundless sand sea, and the output is not large. Many of the spiritual fruits produced by the Zhou family are used to make wine.

So in the end, with Zhou Yang's consent, the Zhou family took out another 5,000 low-grade spirit stones to purchase various spirit fruits, so as to ensure that each monk in the celebration could get at least one spirit fruit.

Calculated in this way, the Zhou family spent at least 70,000 low-grade spirit stones just to prepare the food, drinks, and spiritual fruits for the celebration!

On average, the spirit stones spent on each monk attending the banquet reached twenty or thirty spirit stones.

With such a sumptuous meal, don't wonder why some casual cultivators travel thousands of miles to eat and drink.

Not only can you eat and drink, but you can also listen to the lectures and teachings of high-ranking monks after eating and drinking.

How can this not attract people to come?
