Cultivation Begins From The Desert

Both parents died, and the fate is over.

If it were those sect monks, after encountering such a situation, they could return to the sect cave to clean up and pursue the Dao wholeheartedly.

To be honest, when Zhou Yang looked back on his life in front of his parents' grave, he also had similar thoughts.

After all, after Zhou Xuanzhen passed away, he really didn't have any close blood relatives in the Zhou family. Now those monks in the Zhou family, the people closest to him in blood are at least seven or eight generations apart.

Moreover, what he has done for the Zhou family in this life is completely worthy of the cultivation of him by the Zhou family. Even if he leaves, he will not have any psychological obstacles.

However, things in this world cannot be measured by the word "interest".

The Zhou family could not have what it is today without the efforts of Zhou Yang. He has been busy for hundreds of years for this family, and single-handedly led the development of a small family with three or two big cats and two kittens to the current Boundless Shahai Cultivator with a population of hundreds of monks. The largest immortal cultivating family in the fairy world.

This family has been soaked in his painstaking efforts and has been deeply imprinted on him. He has lived in this family for most of his life.

To let him leave this family behind and go on a long journey and wander alone, he can't do it, and he can't do it!

Although this description is inappropriate, the actual situation is that the Zhou family is like his children to Zhou Yang.

For hundreds of years, he personally raised this emaciated child who was about to starve to death little by little, watched him grow into a mighty and majestic adult, and watched him step by step become a giant existence that others need to look up to.

Now if he suddenly withdraws and walks away, this mighty and majestic adult man will fall down as if his spine has been removed, and he will never be able to stand up again.

This is obviously something he absolutely cannot accept.

If that kind of thing really happened, what's the point of his struggle and persistence for hundreds of years?

"Father, mother, and the old patriarch, you can rest in peace. As long as the child is still alive, the Zhou family will never be let down, and our hard work will never be wasted!"

In the Zhou family cemetery, Zhou Yang, who had been here without sleep or eating or drinking for three days, suddenly knelt down facing his parents' tomb, kowtowed three times in a row, and stood up in a deep voice. Swear.

Then he got up and left the cemetery, and began to take charge of the mourning and mourning.

After such a busy month, Zhou Xuanhao's funeral was finally over.

It's just that the monks of the Zhou family who have been busy for a month can't get any rest time, and immediately put themselves into the preparations for the big auction.

Zhou Yang attached great importance to this big auction. He wanted to imitate the big auction in Xianyang City, and hold a big auction every thirty years in the future.

And if this big auction is to become an influential event like the Xianyang City Auction, whether it is held successfully for the first time is particularly important.

Only when the treasures auctioned in this big auction are satisfactory, will people have expectations and yearning for the next big auction.

For this reason, Zhou Yang not only searched for his own savings and the Zhou family's savings, but also prepared a series of treasures that can be used from the Qi training period to the Zifu period for the big auction. A batch of high-quality third-order magic instruments and third-order magic symbols are used as auction items.

In addition, Xiao Ying and Zhou Guangxiang also specially refined some third-order panacea and third-order formation disks with unique medicinal effects for the monks in the foundation establishment period.

Time passed quickly, and soon it was less than three days before the Zhou family decided to hold the big auction. The monks who came to participate in the auction all moved into the palace specially built by the Zhou family outside Liuyunfang City.

Of course, if someone doesn't care about producing spirit stones, they can still live in the fairy inn run by the Zhou family in Fangshi.

At this time, in Liuyunfang City, due to the arrival of a large number of monks, all the shops in the city took out the high-quality treasures that had been prepared for this big auction, and wanted to get a share of this grand event. .

The Zhou family also timely set aside a large area in the west square of Fang City as a temporary trading market. Anyone who pays a low-grade spirit stone can set up a stall in it for a day.

At the same time, on the Chihu Mountain where the Zhou family is located, an apprenticeship ceremony is being held.

When Zhou Yang accepted Lu Xuewei as his apprentice a few years ago, he said that he would take advantage of the popularity attracted by this big auction and invite monks from all walks of life to witness the ceremony, so naturally he will not break his promise now.

Two or three years later, Lu Xuewei had grown into an eleven-year-old Tingting girl.

At this time, after several years of studying in Zhou Family Academy, she has realized what an honor it is to be Zhou Yang's first apprentice.

In order to let people know that she can bear this honor, she also prepared for today's teacher apprenticeship ceremony for a long time, and practiced the process countless times in advance. She was afraid that if she made a mistake at the ceremony, Zhou Yang would lose face , Let other people make irresponsible remarks.

"Xuewei, now you know what a blessing and honor it is to be able to worship Senior Zhou?"

"From now on, under Senior Zhou's seat, you must be obedient and sensible. You must learn to respect your teacher. Whatever your master tells you to do, do what you do. You must not disobey your master's order!"

"If, if you can build a foundation in the future, no one in our old Lu family will dare to bully you anymore!"

On Chihu Mountain, the Patriarch of the Lu family, who came from afar with several children and grandchildren to watch the ceremony, took advantage of the apprenticeship ceremony before it started, pulled his daughter with a happy face and graciously told him, his eyes were full of eager anticipation.

Over the years, not only Lu Xuewei has tasted the benefits of being Zhou Yang's apprentice, but the Lu family has also tasted enough sweetness.

First of all, the various families that oppressed their Lu family no longer dared to speak out. Not only did they dare not speak out, some people who had offended their family too deeply even sent people to their door to apologize.

How could the little Lu family ever have such an honor to make the Zhuji family apologize to them!

At the same time, after the news spread that Lu Xuewei had become Zhou Yang Kaishan's great disciple, the attitudes of casual cultivators and families who looked down on such a small family as the Lu family changed drastically.

In the past, when monks from the Lu family went out to do business, selling spiritual grains and grasses grown in their own spiritual mountains, or other materials obtained from hunting monsters, they would always be priced down.

Now as long as they show their identities, many shops rush to receive their goods.

Where did all these changes come from, the head of the Lu family couldn't be more clear in his heart.

Originally, he had been brooding over sending his daughter to the Zhou family, and was unhappy.

But now, he is more worried than anyone else that there will be problems with his daughter worshiping Zhou Yang.

"Okay, okay, Dad, don't worry, these daughters understand, how many times have you said it."

After all, Lu Xuewei is still an inexperienced girl, and today's grand scene put her under a lot of psychological pressure. Her father's nagging and exhortations, but she was a little upset in her ears, and her words were unavoidable. up.

"Hey, you child, I'm doing this for your own good, don't..." The Patriarch of the Lu family sighed, and wanted to say something more, but at this time, Zhou Guangxiang, who presided over the acceptance ceremony, had already called out Lu Xuewei name.

Seeing this, he could only keep silent, watching his excited daughter walking towards Zhou Yang holding the apprentice ceremony.

It is a very important thing for a cultivator to accept apprentices, and the ceremony of apprenticeship is equally important.

First of all, the disciples have to kneel down three times and kowtow nine times to the master, and swear to the Tianmeng that they will not betray the master, deceive the master, kill the master, etc. to deceive the master and destroy the ancestors. Some words of respecting teachers and respecting teachers, and being friendly to fellow students.

At the same time, as a master, when a disciple is apprenticed to a teacher, he will emphasize some of the rules of his own school, and the disciple must answer affirmative words such as "can" and "yes" without hesitation.

After all the procedures were completed, Zhou Yang stood up from the grand teacher's chair, walked up to Lu Xuewei who was kneeling in front of him, reached out to take the teacher's apprentice ceremony she was holding and placed it on the table beside him, and helped her up with a serious face. Standing up, he said solemnly: "Since you have confirmed that you want to worship me as your teacher and are willing to abide by my rules, today I invite fellow Taoists from all walks of life to be witnesses. I, Zhou Yang, accepted Zhou Guangwei as my big disciple today, to inherit the mantle and tell the world !"

"Disciple pays homage to Master!"

Lu Xuewei (Zhou Guangwei) knelt down again, kowtowed heavily and saluted. Since then, the status of the two masters and apprentices has been completely settled.

Their status is certain, and the monks who watched the ceremony came up to congratulate in order according to their status.

"Hahaha, congratulations to Fellow Daoist Zhou for being a good disciple. The disciple's talent is extraordinary. In the future, the Zifu can be expected, and the golden core can be expected. Zhou's family has successors!"

Zhang Yunpeng, as the head of the Huangsha Sect and a ninth-floor monk in the Purple Mansion, is naturally the one with the highest status among the monks watching the ceremony. He was the first to come forward to congratulate him after the apprenticeship ceremony was completed, laughing loudly.

Seeing his smiling face, those who don't know the inside story really think that he is happy that Zhou Yang has accepted a talented apprentice.

But those people who actually knew that Huang Shamen had also made an idea of ​​Lu Xuewei were all laughing secretly in their hearts at this moment.

These people also envied Zhou Yang for accepting such a talented apprentice as Lu Xuewei, but if they were allowed to choose, they would rather make Zhou Yang cheaper than Shamen Huang.

For these people, the stronger the yellow monk, the more difficult their life will be in the future.

Over the years, with the reduction and decline of the Huang Shamen's power, all the cultivating families have fully reaped the benefits, and no one wants to see the reappearance of the Huang Shamen who dominated the entire boundless sand sea of ​​cultivating the world.

With the decline of Huang Shamen, it is necessary to win over these cultivating families and give them benefits in order to stabilize the situation.

If the Huangshamen were as strong as it was when Cao Wenjin was here, their cultivating families would be the same as they were back then, and they would have to send out the family’s pillars of foundation building cultivators to apply for the order, even if they knew they were going to die. .

Huang Shamen, the number one sect in the world of cultivating immortals in the boundless sand sea, and the Zhou family, the number one sect of cultivating immortals in the world of cultivating immortals in the boundless sand sea, are at odds with each other, which is what all other cultivating families want to see.

Even in order to facilitate this, many Xiuxian families are still willing to bring treasures and spirit stones to participate, knowing that the Zhou family intends to hold a big auction this time.

In their thinking, the more prosperous the Zhou family's big auction was held and the more spirit stones they earned, the more they would be envied and feared by Huang Shamen, which would cause an irreparable rift in the relationship between the two parties.

Until now, Zhou Yang and Cao Wenjin's signing of the "Underworld Blood Contract" is still a top secret among top secrets, except for him and Zhang Yunpeng and his wife, no one knows about it.

Therefore, the provocations of those with ulterior motives are destined to be impossible to have any real gains.
