Cultivation Begins From The Desert

The success of Zhou Xuanhao's foundation building is a great event for the entire Zhou family to celebrate. Therefore, after the old patriarch Zhou Minghan went to the "Haoyang Grotto" to confirm the situation in person, he returned to the family and sent invitations to many people. Cultivators from all over the world came to watch the ceremony to celebrate.

In the world of immortals around the oasis of Yuquan Lake, almost all of them received invitations as long as they had a good relationship with the Zhou family and the masters of the cultivators.

After these people received the invitations, they either sent the elders of the clan to bring gifts to watch the ceremony, or brought their descendants to increase their knowledge.

The monks who were originally stationed outside the Zhou family also temporarily put aside their work and rushed back to the family to participate in this celebration that has not been seen in decades.

A large number of immortal cultivators gathered on Yuquan Peak, which made the originally deserted Yuquan Peak suddenly lively.

The Zhou family also took this opportunity to hold a small exchange meeting on Yuquan Peak, and took out some accumulated treasures such as medicinal pills, magical instruments, and spiritual talismans from the treasure house and sold them to those who came here. All kinds of alchemy and alchemy raw materials.

As for those clan cultivators, since the major immortal cultivating families basically train their own alchemists and alchemists, the second-order spiritual pills and magic tools that the Zhou family brought out are not enough to attract these people to buy them.

On the contrary, some unknown spiritual objects that occasionally appear in the hands of loose cultivators will arouse the interest of these family cultivators, and they will buy a few pieces.

Then those loose cultivators would take the spiritual stones they got, turn around and go to the Zhou family's booth to buy magic tools and medicine pills.

It's just that Zhou Yang couldn't see this lively scene.

On that day, after he learned something from the words of the old patriarch Zhou Minghan, he expressed his feelings to his parents that day, and then followed the old patriarch back to the family.

After returning to the family, Zhou Yang said goodbye to his adoptive mother Zhou Xuanyu, and then took the advice of the old patriarch and adoptive mother, and left the Yuquan Lake Oasis alone on a Shatuo beast.

If you don't count the family mission to the Qingping Mountain oasis that year, this is the first time Zhou Yang has gone out alone in the thirty-two years since he came to this mysterious and vast world of immortal cultivation.

His destination was the Baisha River Oasis, a desert oasis more than 6,000 miles away from the Yuquan Lake Oasis, where there was the largest immortal cultivator's square for tens of thousands of miles around, Jinshafang City.

The ruler of Baishahe Oasis is the Chen family in Baituoling. The Chen family is a family of immortals that has been passed down for seven or eight hundred years. The founder of the family is a master of the Zifu period. Yu Lan's cultivation base is higher than that of the ancestor who opened up the Chen family.

Today, the entire Chen family in Baituoling has one immortal cultivator in the Zifu period, 12 immortal cultivators in the foundation building period, thousands of immortal cultivators in the Qi training period, and millions of secular clansmen. It is the largest immortal cultivator family in the tens of thousands of miles around .

When the disciples of the Chen family in Baituoling go out, even if they meet the disciples of Huangshamen, they have to sell some of their face, which shows that they are prominent.

The Chen family has a prominent family background, and a small immortal family like the Yuquan Zhou family could not get into the eyes of a big family like the Chen family at all, and the two sides are not of the same order of magnitude.

However, Zhou Yuquan, the ancestor of the Zhou family who founded the Zhou family, once helped Chen Yaohui, the contemporary head of the Chen family, when he was young because of his background in Huangshamen.

Therefore, after he opened up the Zhou family in Yuquan, the ancestors of the Chen family not only set aside two stores in the "Jinshafang City" created by the Chen family as gifts for the Zhou family, but also included the Zhou family as a gift. In the ranks of the Chen family's alliance family, the Zhou family can share the benefits of this alliance circle.

Like the "Foundation Conference" that the Chen family is about to hold, it is an event that only the Chen family alliance family is qualified to participate in.

Zhou Yang went to Baishahe Oasis this time. In addition to looking for an opportunity to break through the bottleneck, he was also entrusted by the family. He inherited his father's business and replaced his father, Zhou Xuanhao, who had built the foundation. .

The route from Yuquan Lake Oasis to Baisha River Oasis is very mature. Although there is no strict road in the desert, after the joint efforts of several generations of monks from the Zhou family, it has reached thousands of miles of desert between the two oasis. , established dozens of "signal towers" to ensure that the Zhou family monks who traveled between the two places would not get lost halfway.

Of course, the "signal tower" is Zhou Yang's understanding. The actual situation is that the Zhou family's array masters have refined dozens of first-order high-grade arrays "elemental magnetic traction arrays", and then let people arrange these arrays in Yuquan Lake. Oasis to the White Sand River Oasis thousands of miles of desert.

The Zhou family or a cultivator who is closely related to the Zhou family, as long as they walk on this road with a specially refined first-order magic weapon "Yin-Yang Magnetic Needle", they can use the magic tool to connect with any formation within a hundred miles around. , no worries of getting lost at all.

However, although there is a "signal tower" to guide him so he won't get lost, the sinister astronomical phenomena in the desert still make Zhou Yang suffer a lot when he travels for the first time.

After he set off from the Yuquan Lake oasis, he encountered three sandstorms in just half a month. When the sandstorms came, he could only hide under the belly of the Shatuo beast like an ostrich, and then watched countless yellow sands. "Bury" yourself.

And if the sandstorm only made Zhou Yang feel a little bit miserable at most, then the quicksand that never knew where it would appear in the desert would be fatal.

Quicksand is not like a sandstorm. Before it appears, there will be obvious signs for people to notice. Only after you step on it, will you know that you are caught in the quicksand.

Shatuo beasts are born with special talents, so that they can always find abnormalities before the arrival of sandstorms and warn their owners in time.

But in the face of quicksand, even the monsters that live in the desert can do nothing.

Before people and livestock step on it, quicksand is exactly the same as normal sandy land, and it is very difficult to find.

And once stepping on the quicksand, an adult man of normal weight will completely disappear from the ground in less than ten seconds.

Zhou Yang and the Shatuo beast under him together weigh more than three tons. Once they sink into the quicksand, they will sink into the depths of the quicksand in less than three seconds.

The first time that the man and the camel beast fell into the quicksand, Zhou Yang sank into the sand along with the Shatuo beast before he could react at all.

Fortunately, before he went out, the old patriarch Zhou Minghan repeatedly instructed him to put a few "Earth Escape Technique" magic talismans in his sleeves, and he was in a panic.

The experience of being trapped in quicksand this time really frightened Zhou Yang. The terrifying and suffocating feeling of falling into the abyss was even more frightening than death.

Since then, every day when he sits on the back of the Shatuo beast and walks forward, he will release his consciousness to scan the ground ten meters in front of him, and at the same time, he will stick the "Earth Escape Technique" amulet on his arms and legs.

Although doing this is extremely exhausting, at least it can make people feel at ease.

Only in this way, Zhou Yang's advancing speed has been greatly reduced, and he can only advance less than 300 miles per day, which is far lower than the normal speed of Shatuo Beast's daily travel of 500 miles.

On this day, after Zhou Yang had been driving all day, exhausted and exhausted, they set up camp under a leeward sandy slope.

He first pitched the camping tent, then fed Shatuo beast a few first-order spiritual elixir "Jing Yuan Dan" refined with the essence of monster flesh and blood to replenish his strength, and hung up the camel bell.

After doing all this, he was relieved to leave the Shatuo beast to watch the night for him outside, and he went into the tent to meditate with peace of mind and regained the power of his lost consciousness.

The temperature in the desert is cold at night, and the lowest temperature can drop to below zero. Zhou Yang is better in the airtight camel-skin tent. White fog.

This domesticated Shatuo beast is not only the best riding mount in the desert, but also an excellent sentinel.

In the silent night in the desert, the Shatuo beast has excellent perception ability, and can clearly sense the sound of mice digging several meters deep underground. They are responsible for vigilance. Those desert monsters who want to launch a sneak attack from the ground are basically impossible to sneak attack. success.

The night is getting darker and the temperature is getting lower and lower. The Shatuo beast, who is in charge of guarding outside the tent, has buried most of its body in the yellow sand, and only its head is still exposed on the ground.

Suddenly, the Shatuo beast seemed to be asleep, suddenly opened his eyes, raised his head vigilantly and looked towards the sand slope.

Jingle Bell!

The rapid camel bell, accompanied by the anxious neighing of the Shatuo beast, quickly awakened Zhou Yang, who was meditating and resting in the tent.

He almost didn't even think about it, he immediately flicked his sleeves and sacrificed the silver shield magic weapon that had saved his life many times, and then rushed out of the tent with the magic weapon.

Whoosh!

As soon as he rushed out of the tent, Zhou Yang heard a sharp piercing sound in his ears. This sound was no stranger to him at all. It was the sound of the immortal cultivator's imperial envoy Feijian piercing the sky.

Sure enough, the next moment he saw a golden light hitting his silver astral shield magic weapon.

"Second-tier high-grade defensive magic weapon!"

The golden light collided and scattered on the silver astral shield, revealing a golden conical instrument that was two feet long. At the same time, an exclamation full of surprise sounded from not far away.

Zhou Yang followed the sound and saw two masked monks in black robes standing on the sand **** looking towards him.

Seeing him, one of the black-robed monks stretched out his hand and recalled the conical magic weapon that failed the sneak attack into his hands, looking at the silver astral shield magic weapon in front of him with greed eyes and roaring viciously: "Boy , give you a chance to live, hand over this second-order high-grade defensive magic weapon, spare you from dying!"

"Sand bandits?"

Zhou Yang frowned, UUkanshu www.uukanshu.com didn't care about the black-robed monk's clamor, he just looked at the two uninvited guests thoughtfully and asked a question.

Hearing his straightforward words, the eyes of the two black-robed cultivators turned cold, and the black-robed cultivator who hadn't taken a shot immediately said coldly, "Knowing that we are sand bandits, and being so calm, it seems that the little brother is not ordinary. Family cultivator, do you know which family your little brother is from?"

"What? Could it be that if I tell you, you will stop and leave?" Zhou Yang looked at the two with a half-smile, his eyes full of mockery.

"of course not!"

The black-robed cultivator who spoke out shook his head, then waved his hands, and threw out a bright red flag banner, looking at Zhou Yang and sneering: "But if you explain the origin clearly, after we kill you, if you gain Yes, maybe I will kindly give your body to your clan!"

"I see!"

Zhou Yang nodded, and suddenly waved his hand, and the four "armor-piercing daggers" inserted in his waist were unsheathed, and "swish, swish," turned into four forests of white cold light and shot towards the sand not far behind him. under.

what!

A shrill scream suddenly sounded from the ground behind Zhou Yang.

"The third one!"

"Third brother!"

On the sandy slope, the eyes of the two black-robed cultivators changed, and they couldn't help exclaiming.

It turned out that it was not two people who came tonight, but three people, and one of them had been hiding underground, waiting for an opportunity to launch a sneak attack.

Unexpectedly, a man is a tiger, and a tiger is a man, but Zhou Yang had already discovered that there were people hiding in the ground.

So while delaying the time with the two black-robed monks on the ground, after locking the enemy's position, he suddenly used a magic weapon to attack the opponent.
