Cultivation Begins From The Desert

Zhou Minghan has high expectations for Zhou Yang.

The Yuquan Zhou family, starting from Zhou Yuquan, the founder of the family, has always had foundation-building cultivators in charge, so it was able to develop to this scale in just over two hundred years.

But until now, the Yuquan Zhou Clan seems to have run out of luck. Since Zhou Minghan, no new foundation-building monks have been born for hundreds of years.

This is dangerous.

What a cultivator family is most afraid of is the sudden cessation of high-level cultivators.

Once they lose the protection of the monks in the foundation-building period, the Zhou family will not be able to continue to develop and expand the family size, even the ancestral land of Yuquan Lake Oasis and Yuquan Peak may not be able to hold.

Therefore, under Zhou Minghan's secret instigation, the development of the Zhou family in recent years has actually stopped secretly long ago. The fear is that if it continues to expand, it will cause others to spy on it, which will lead to the annihilation of the Zhou family after his death.

But after all, this is not a solution to the root cause. The best way is for the Zhou family to give birth to a new foundation-building cultivator before he falls.

As long as there are foundation-building cultivators in town, with the help of the third-order formation [Wanmu Qingtian Array] on Yuquan Peak and dozens of Qi-training clansmen, even if there are multiple foundation-building cultivators attacking, the Zhou family will not be hurt. foundation.

Originally, Zhou Minghan put his hope on the younger generation of the "Xuan" generation, and even made up his mind. If before his fall, if no one from the Zhou family was promoted to the foundation stage, he would rather put Yuquan Lake Oasis and the Zhou family's elders. Part of the output is dedicated to Huangshamen in exchange for the protection of Huangshamen, and it cannot let the Zhou family be envied and exterminated for occupying a lot of interests.

But now, Zhou Minghan realized that maybe he should change his mind.

With the potential shown by Zhou Yang, the younger generation of the "Yuan" generation, as long as he is given another 20 to 30 years, his hope of building a foundation is probably much greater than those of the "Xuan" generation.

He looked carefully at the young man standing in front of him. The handsome and elegant appearance and temperament of the young man was not his focus. What he valued was the attitude of the young man who was neither humble nor arrogant in front of him. Facing the calm state of mind.

After reading it, he only had one thought in his mind.

This child is very useful!

Of course, as an elder, no matter how satisfied and happy he is, he won't show it too much on the face, and it won't encourage the arrogance of young people.

Therefore, although he was extremely happy in his heart, his face returned to a calm expression. He looked at Zhou Yang indifferently and asked, "Do you know the purpose of this old man for letting you come here?"

"Grandson doesn't know." Zhou Yang answered honestly.

"Originally, according to the rules of the clan, young monks in the clan must go down the mountain to experience and work for the clan for a period of time before returning to the mountain for meditation."

"But your situation is special. Although you are only seventeen years old, you are already at the sixth level of Qi training. In the past 100 years, no one in the clan has such a cultivation base as you when they came down the mountain at the age of 20."

"It just so happened that you just broke through with the help of the earth vein aura, and it will take at least five years to build up your mana. If you stay on the mountain, wouldn't it be a waste of manpower?"

"That's why this old man decided to do special things and let you go down the mountain to serve the family in advance. This is also your experience and will be of great benefit to your future practice."

Zhou Minghan looked at Zhou Yang, who looked attentive, the corners of his mouth curled slightly, and said his arrangement in a deep voice.

Sure enough, as he expected, Zhou Yang's expression changed after hearing what he said. Obviously, he didn't expect this kind of thing to call him here.

But what made him wonder if he was happy or depressed was that after Zhou Yang's complexion changed slightly, he immediately regained his calm, and then bowed respectfully and said, "My grandson understands and is willing to obey the family's arrangements."

Seeing this, he asked in a strange tone, "You don't want to know where the old man plans to arrange you?"

"The grandson believes that no matter what the great-grandfather arranges, it is for the grandson's good in the end."

Zhou Yang smiled in his heart and threw out the words that left Zhou Minghan speechless for a while.

After a long while, he laughed angrily and scolded: "Sure enough, he is a sly guy, Xuan Hao's son and his wife are both upright people, how could they give birth to a sly guy like you!"

After he finished speaking, he didn't wait for Zhou Yang to complain, he took the initiative to tell Zhou Yang's arrangement.

"Your spiritual root attributes are biased towards the two attributes of gold and fire, and you are also practicing a masculine and domineering exercise called "Golden Sun Fire Art". Apart from some lack of combat experience, your fighting skills are actually not weaker than any monks of the same level. "

"It just so happens that the cultivator of the family stationed at Qingping Mountain has expired. You can go over and take his place for five years. After five years, the old man will let someone else go over to take your place."

"In addition, the old man hopes that during this period of time, you can take the time to learn the art of alchemy in the cultivation of immortals. There is no good seedlings in the family that can take the old man's class. If you can make a difference in this area. Building a tree is a great thing for the entire family."

After Zhou Minghan finished talking about his arrangements, he waved his hand again and threw a gray storage bag and a small silver shield into Zhou Yang's hands.

"In the storage bag are some low-level refining materials, and there are also some experiences of the old man about the refining technique, as well as a copy of the "Real Solution of Refining" collected by the family. You must take good care of these things. spread it out."

"As for this [Silver Gang Shield] magic weapon, it is a fine product among the many second-order magic tools refined by the old man. It should be regarded as the compensation from the old man for you to go down the mountain ahead of time."

"Okay, if you have nothing else to do, you can retire. The trip to Qingping Mountain should preferably be completed within a month."

Zhou Minghan's words and actions made Zhou Yang stunned for a while. In the end, he almost instinctively grasped what he was holding and said, "Then grandson retire first."

It was not until he walked out of the cave and heard the sound of the door of the cave closing, he was shocked and came back to understand what happened.

He recalled what Zhou Minghan explained in the cave just now, and his eyes were full of confusion and he muttered to himself: "What happened to me just now? what!"

Before he finished speaking, his heart suddenly jumped, and he couldn't help but come up with a bold guess.

"Could it be that the old patriarch cast some spell on me that didn't work?"

In the next instant, he immediately stopped his dangerous thought.

Even if the old patriarch cast some spells on him, he would definitely just be joking with him. There's no need to think too much about it. Thinking wildly will only harm him.

Thinking of this, he looked at the storage bag and the magic weapon in his hand, carefully put them away, and then asked the seventh grandfather Zhou Yun, who was drinking tea alone under the tree, and asked him to help open the array. The law sends himself down the mountain.

Before finally stepping out of the formation, Zhou Yang looked back at the top of the mountain again, and saw that the seventh grandfather, Zhou Yun, was standing under the tree and watching him leave with a smile.

"This kid seems to have found something. It seems that we can't use this kind of trick to make fun of him in the future, so as not to cause a bad misunderstanding."

In the cave mansion on the top of the mountain, Zhou Minghan saw the change in Zhou Yang's expression after he left through his divine sense.

When he was talking just now, he quietly cast a soul-defying spell that he had obtained in his early years to affect Zhou Yang's mind.

It's not that he did this because he was afraid of Zhou Yang's resistance to his arrangement. He just wanted to make fun of him because he couldn't see Zhou Yang's young and mature appearance.

It's like the adults among the mortals deliberately gave him a little soju in order to tease the child, and then laughed at the snot and tears of the pretending to be mature child.

This kind of teasing would certainly make the elders feel proud of their success, but when they found that their teasing would make the younger generation resent them psychologically, they would regret it.

Zhou Minghan is like this now.

Fortunately, Zhou Yang is really mature mentally, not pretending to be mature, and he didn't really complain about this old man who was dedicated to his family because of this little joke.

After he walked down the top of the mountain, he quickly returned to his attic on the mountainside, and closed the door to organize today's harvest.

The first is the storage bag given to him by the old patriarch. This kind of storage device is made of the mouse skin of the monster [Ling Void Rat]. Almost every immortal cultivator has one piece, even the poorest loose cultivator. Do your best to get one for yourself.

Of course, it is also a storage bag, and it is also divided into different sizes. Generally, the storage bags used for scattered cultivation during the Qi training period are mostly only three feet square, which is barely enough to hold a few sets of clothes and a small amount of sundries.

As for the immortal-cultivating clan of the Yuquan Zhou clan, every clan member can receive a five-foot-square storage bag from the clan for free as long as their cultivation base reaches the Qi training period. The storage bag is even more square.

But now, his storage bag has been upgraded again.

The storage bag that the old patriarch gave to him looked gray, and the space inside was three feet square. In addition to a vessel for refining and a few books of refining, it was also filled with items such as black iron, red copper, Low-level refining materials such as century-old ironwood.

Zhou Yang made a rough calculation, and if he was only refining tools with few materials such as swords, these materials would at least be enough for him to refine hundreds of times.

"Ordinary clansmen learn the art of refining, although the clan will also provide materials for free practice, but it will give me hundreds of opportunities. The old patriarch gave me so many materials, and no matter how stupid people are, they can still succeed two or three times. Come on!"

Zhou Yang looked at the material in the storage bag, and said in his heart that it would be a lie if he was not moved.

He knew that the old patriarch had always been clear about public and private matters, and even if he was extremely talented, he would not make an exception for him in this regard.

Then there is only one reason why he can practice with so many materials now. The old patriarch used his personal savings to exchange these materials from the family treasury.

"It seems that the old patriarch really wants me to inherit his artifact refining skills. As the only third-order artifact refining master in the family, he must have seen something. Maybe I really have a good talent in artifact refining."

Zhou Yang remembered his own practice "Golden Sun Raging Fire Art", and suddenly realized something, a clear smile appeared on his face.

Then he carefully put away the storage bag, and looked at another thing given by the old patriarch, the second-order magic weapon [Silver Gang Shield].
