Cultivation Begins From The Desert

With extremely complicated emotions, Zhou Yang returned to the family alone.

Xu Song doesn't know how much time it will take to study the underground ruins and guard the formation. Naturally, he can't spend time with him in that kind of place, and Xu Song told him to collect some of the materials needed for the research formation, and he needs to collect them after returning to the family. .

After he returned to the family, he only told a few insiders about finding the location of Zhou Xuanyu's mother and daughter, and then ordered people to collect the materials Xu Song needed.

After another nearly a year passed, all kinds of materials were collected, and he personally delivered the materials to the underground ruins.

After delivering the materials, Zhou Yang went to the new oasis where Zhou Guangxiang and the others were located, and used the empty boat to carry all the monks to the next new oasis construction site to continue building the second new oasis.

As for the new oasis that has been built, the monks from the Zhou family rushed there to take over the station.

A new oasis like this that has just been built is still very fragile, and a cultivator needs to cast spells and rain frequently to maintain the vitality of the vegetation on the oasis.

After the ecological environment on these new oases stabilizes, the Zhou family will migrate some mortals to build small towns and villages on the oases.

At that time, these mortals can take over the work of maintaining the ecological environment of the oasis.

After the monks who transported the materials and built the new oasis returned to Zhou's house, Zhou Yang officially began to retreat.

At this time, eight or nine years have passed since he returned to the Zhou family. During these eight or nine years, he was busy with various things, and his practice inevitably slowed down a lot.

Now that everything is over, he also plans to retreat and improve his cultivation to prepare for the battle of Xijiaozhou more than 20 years later.

The time of retreat always passes quickly. In a blink of an eye, eight years of Zhou Yang's retreat have passed.

Eight years have passed, and his cultivation has not broken through to the fifth floor of the Purple Mansion, but it is not far away, and he will be able to succeed in one or two years of practice at most.

And the reason why he left the customs was because Zhou Guangxiang's cultivation base had reached the ninth floor of foundation building, and he was about to open up the Purple Mansion.

Zhou Guangxiang is a top-rank spiritual root monk, and his own cultivation speed is very fast, and because of the existence of Xiao Ying, a fourth-rank low-rank alchemist, the Zhou family has no shortage of various third-rank spirit pills.

After taking some pills, he was easily promoted to the ninth floor of Foundation Establishment, and started to open up the Purple Mansion.

"Have you really made up your mind? If you don't use [Purple Heart Chalcedony], even if you have top-grade spiritual root aptitude, the success rate will not exceed 20%!"

"And if you fail, even if there is a panacea to help you recover, you will have to recuperate for at least ten years before you can attack the Zifu again!"

In Qianyang Cave, after Zhou Yang went out to meet Zhou Guangxiang who came to visit, he was also shocked by this nephew's words.

He had already prepared for Zhou Guangxiang the "Purple Heart Chalcedony" needed to open up the Purple Mansion, but Zhou Guangxiang came to the door this time and told him that he should try to attack the Purple Mansion with the "Purple Heart Chalcedony".

This really surprised him.

Of course, he was surprised, but in view of Zhou Guangxiang's previous precedent, Zhou Yang immediately realized that this child wanted to pave the way for his younger sister Zhou Guangxiang.

The Zhou family now, including Zhou Guangxiang, has a total of four Foundation Establishment monks, but the new Foundation Establishment Zhou Guangtai and Zhou Guangqing are only on the second floor of the Foundation Establishment, and they are still far away from opening up the Purple Mansion.

However, Zhou Guangxiang was already at the sixth level of foundation building. Based on his age, he had enough time to reach the ninth level of foundation building before he was two hundred years old, and he still had a chance to attack the Purple Mansion.

At that time, the "Purple Heart Chalcedony" in Zhou Yang's hands will definitely be used on her.

"Nephew thinks it through. Nephew is still young. He is only one hundred and twenty-one years old this year. Even if he fails to open up the Purple Mansion this time, he will still have several chances to try in the future."

"And my nephew is not afraid to tell you, Uncle Jiu, that my nephew is actually prepared to fail this time. Only by learning from this failure will I have greater confidence in the next attack on the Zifu."

"After all, you also know that [Purple Heart Chalcedony] is not as helpful to my nephew in opening up the Purple Mansion as the Foundation Establishment Pill is for Foundation Establishment!"

Zhou Guangxiang looked at Zhou Yang with a firm expression and said, he had already prepared his speech.

Zhou Yang fell silent when he heard his words.

Although he believed that Zhou Guangxiang was paving the way for his younger sister Zhou Guangxiang, he had to admit that Zhou Guangxiang's words were also reasonable.

The foundation-building period monks use "Purple Heart Chalcedony" to assist in opening up the Purple Mansion, but at most it can only increase the success rate by more than 30%. Zhou Guangxiang uses this object to assist in opening up the Purple Mansion. increased to more than 90%.

And as the saying goes, children can't help their mothers.

Zhou Guangxiang is now more than a hundred years old, and has been the head of the Zhou family for decades. Since he has made a decision related to his own path, Zhou Yang, as an elder, forcibly objecting will only hurt the two of them. love between.

"Well, since you have made a decision, Uncle Ninth, I can't object, here is another [Purple Cloud Pill], which can help you to some extent, and this [Ghost Tears Stone] can improve monks Spiritual consciousness, you also take it to refine it!"

After Zhou Yang looked at him for a long time, he nodded slightly and agreed to his choice, then raised his hand again, took out two spiritual objects and handed them to him.

The "Purple Cloud Pill" was refined by Xiao Ying. At the beginning, a total of four were refined, one was sold at the auction, and he still had three in his hand. Now that he gave Zhou Guangxiang one, he would have two more.

As for the "Ghost Tears Stone", it was obtained by him from killing the evil spirits in the "Sealing Demon Cave". It can slightly increase the strength of spiritual consciousness.

However, Zhou Yang's own consciousness is very strong, so this thing is of little use to him.

The person who can really make the most of this thing is Zhou Guangxiang, a nine-story foundation-building monk who is about to open up the Purple Mansion.

As long as refining this thing improves the strength of one's own spiritual consciousness, it is equivalent to improving the success rate of opening the Purple Mansion in a disguised form, or permanently.

Zhou Guangxiang is also a person who knows the goods. After hearing Zhou Yang mention the function of the "Ghost Tears Stone", he immediately realized the preciousness of this object.

Holding the treasure bestowed by Zhou Yang in his hand, his face flashed with emotion, and Dang even knelt down on the ground and kowtowed heavily to Zhou Yang: "Uncle Nine, my nephew has nothing to repay, please accept my nephew's favor." Bless!"

"Get up, you can rest assured to go to retreat, I will help you look after the affairs of the clan."

Zhou Yang waved his hand, and didn't want to put too much pressure on Zhou Guangxiang, so he sent him to retreat directly.

Zhou Guangxiang retreated to open up the Zifu, and the duties of the head of the Zhou family could only be performed by Zhou Yang, so it was naturally impossible for him to continue to retreat.

It just so happened that he hadn't been in charge of the family's affairs for some years, so he simply summoned a few deacons and elders to ask about the current situation of the family.

After more than ten years, more than half of the original deacons and elders of the Zhou family have changed, and several of the new ones are monks of the "Tong" generation.

"Elder Taishang Mingjian, there are 467 monks in the clan now... 42 from the generation of blessings, 191 monks from foreign relatives, and 43 monks from Keqing."

The monk who served as the elder of the Zhou Family Chuangong has been replaced by Zhou Guangjian, a monk of the "Guang" generation, a "young man" who is less than ninety years old.

After he took over as the elder of Chuan Gong, it was the first time that he got so close to Zhou Yang, a legendary figure of the Zhou family. Facing Zhou Yang's inquiry, he was somewhat nervous. Fortunately, the report on the data was accurate, and there was no big scandal.

"The population of monks has increased by more than one hundred in the past ten years. This number is a bit too much, what's going on?"

Surprise flashed in Zhou Yang's eyes, but he didn't care about the change in this junior's expression, his attention was all attracted by the number reported by the other party.

Although the Zhou family's population of mortals has grown rapidly over the years, the population of more than a hundred monks has increased in the past ten years. This speed is still a bit alarming, and he has to express his concern.

"Elder Taishang Mingjian, the reason for the large increase in the number of monks is mainly due to the surge in the number of daily visitors to [Fengyue Building] in the six months before and after the last big auction."

"In addition, the population of mortals in the family has increased sharply, and the number of babies with spiritual roots detected each year has also increased to seven or eight."

"In the end, the monks of the Guangzi and Tongzi generations with the largest population in the family spread a large number of branches and leaves, and also gave birth to many descendants with spiritual roots."

Zhou Guangjian did his homework very solidly. Facing Zhou Yang's question, after experiencing the initial panic, he quickly calmed down and explained the reasons for the population growth to him in detail.

After Zhou Yang heard about this reason, he didn't know what he thought of, and suddenly asked via sound transmission: "Then do you know how many monks from [Fengyue Building] account for all the monks in the family now? count!"

Hearing him suddenly ask this question, Zhou Guangjian's expression changed, as if he realized something.

But facing Zhou Yang's serious eyes, he could only quickly suppress the terrible thoughts in his heart, calm down, think about all kinds of data carefully, and continued to answer: "Responding to the words of the elder Taishang, according to the latest statistics half a year ago According to the data obtained, there are 264 monks in the [Fengyue Building] of the Zhou family, 26 of whom were born in [Fengyue Building] from their ancestors, and 30 were born in [Fengyue Building] from their parents."

"Are nearly three-fifths of the people from [Fengyue Building]?"

Zhou Yang thought to himself, but he realized a problem that he almost ignored.

That is the purity of family blood!

In the past, the Zhou family had a small population of monks and the family was weak. In order to increase the number of monks in the family and increase the chances of genius monks appearing, he would wholeheartedly support the opening of the "Fengyue Tower" to increase the number of monks in the family.

But now, the number of monks born in "Fengyue Tower" actually accounts for three-fifths of the total number of Zhou family's monks, and it is expected that the proportion will increase in the future.

This made Zhou Yang feel scared.

You must know that although the monks from "Fengyue Tower" also have the blood of the Zhou family, they are all of the matrilineal blood.

And to be honest, most of the secular women of the Zhou family who are willing to go to the "Fengyue Tower" are people whose ancestors have not been cultivators for more than four or five generations. up.

But the current main power holders of the Zhou family, such as Zhou Yang, brother and sister Zhou Guangxiang, and Zhou Guangqing, are all descendants of Zhou family monks, and their blood is closest to Zhou Yuquan, the ancestor of the Zhou family.

Now the Zhou family is still on the rise, and perhaps no one is aware of the hidden dangers.

But after the Zhou family occupied Xijiaozhou, the family's power gradually reached its peak, and when there was no room for promotion, the contradiction between the monks from "Fengyue Tower" and the original monks of the Zhou family would definitely be exposed.

At that time, no matter how many reasons Zhou Yang has to explain, the fact that there is only one "Fengyuelou" among the monks in the foundation building period, will become a thorn in the hearts of the "Fengyuelou" monks whose population already accounts for the vast majority of Zhou family monks.

Where there are people, there will be fights, and where there are interests, there will be conspiracy.

The number of monks from "Fengyue Tower" accounts for the vast majority of the Zhou family's total population, but there are very few high-ranking monks. When the time comes to compete for profit resources within the family, this matter will definitely become a flashpoint.

Zhou Yang confirmed this very much.

And now he has another layer of worry, which is about the "Blood God Forbidden".

Zhou Guangxiang is already a third-tier mid-tier array mage, and when he is promoted to a fourth-tier array mage, he will be able to set up an array with "Bloodline Divine Forbidden".

At that time, the Zhou family will definitely establish a secret library guarded by the "Blood Forbidden".

So here comes the problem.

When the time comes, which bloodline information of the Zhou family monks should be recorded in the secret library guarded by the "Bloodline God Forbidden"?

If the blood information of Zhou Yang and the others from the authentic lineage of the Zhou family was entered, it would be almost impossible for the vast majority of monks from the "Fengyue Building" to pass through the secret vault guarded by the "Blood Vessel God Forbidden".

If the bloodline information of all Zhou family monks is entered, then the protective effect of the "Bloodline Divine Forbidden" will be impossible to talk about.

"What should I do? What should I do about this matter? How can I perfectly solve this hidden danger?"

Thoughts were spinning in Zhou Yang's mind, and there was a rare look of anxiety in his eyes.
