Cultivation Begins From The Desert

Yellow Shaman.

When the news of Zhou Yang's return from forming a golden pill reached Huangshamen, Yang Wenxiong, the contemporary head of Huangshamen who received the news, staggered and almost fell to the ground.

He looked at the news monk with a shocked expression, his mouth moved, and he wanted to ask if the news was true.

But before the words came out, he stopped again.

He knew very well in his heart that it was impossible for a monk to talk nonsense about such a big event.

"I know, you go down first!"

He took a deep breath, forced himself to calm down, and then waved his hand to let the cleric leave first.

He is the head of a faction, and he must have the bearing and majesty of the head, especially now, he must stabilize his mentality and not let his panic be known by other disciples.

Since Zhou Yang's return from forming a golden pill has become a fact, it cannot be changed.

The next thing he, the head of Huangshamen, has to do is to figure out Zhou Yang's attitude.

In fact, for this issue, when he took over the position of head from the previous head Zhang Yunpeng, the other party had already made arrangements.

At this time, he forced himself to calm down, and after thinking about it carefully, he instructed the disciples who were waiting outside: "Come here, send a message to the Zhou family, and say that Yang has something important and wants to invite senior Zhou Yang to come. A trip to Huangshamen."

According to common sense, Zhou Yang formed a golden pill and returned, it should be Yang Wenxiong, who had a low cultivation base, who took the initiative to visit Zhou's house, so as to show his sincerity.

But now he asked Zhou Yang to come to Huangshamen to see him, which is a bit ignorant.

However, these are just appearances.

The real intention of Yang Wenxiong's order was to test Zhou Yang's mind through this order.

Every normal person knows that when Zhou Yang forms a golden pill and returns, Huangshamen's position as the overlord of the boundless sand sea and immortal world will completely change hands.

So at this time, those in power of Huangshamen must be the most panicked and helpless.

Under the panic, people will inevitably make some dizzy and unwise actions.

In case Yang Wenxiong and other Huangshamen senior leaders are in a daze, they want to take advantage of Zhou Yanggang's success in forming an elixir, and when his foothold is not stable, to deceive him into the mountain gate of Huangshamen, and then use the power of the Zongmen Mountain Protection Formation. , depleted the accumulation of the entire sect to kill him.

This situation is not impossible.

Yang Wenxiong's unusual invitation to Zhou Yang to come to Huangshamen is undoubtedly easier for people to think in this regard.

And this is Yang Wenxiong's test of Zhou Yang.

"Zhou Yang, Zhou Yang, I hope you don't let me down!"

"Otherwise, Yang will not let your Zhou family have a better life even if he is fighting for the foundation of the sect!"

The haze flashed in Yang Wenxiong's eyes, but he had already prepared for the worst in his heart.

On the other hand, nearly a month after Zhou Yang returned to the family, Zhou Guangxiang finally arrived at Lingxi Peak with his Taoist companion Liu Xuanxuan and his eldest son Zhou Tongxuan.

More than sixty years have passed, and Zhou Guangxiang's cultivation has reached the fifth floor of the Zifu. He is only 260 years old. According to the 480-year lifespan of a cultivator in the Zifu period, his life has just passed half. It is already very good to have this cultivation base at this age.

And his Taoist companion Liu Xuanxuan had also reached the ninth level of Foundation Establishment, and at the Foundation Establishment stage, he had become a fourth-order low-grade weapon refiner.

Even his eldest son, Zhou Tongxuan, already had the third-layer foundation building cultivation base at this time.

When Xiao Ying and Zhou Guangxiang returned from the Far West, they had already informed Zhou Guangxiang of their experiences in the Far West, so when they met Zhou Guangxiang, Zhou Yang did not repeat the experience of these years.

After reminiscing about the old times with his nephew, apprentice, and grand-nephew, he called Zhou Guangxiang to the quiet room alone to talk.

"There is something I need to let you know. Ninth Uncle, I'm going home this time, just to stabilize the hearts of the family. In another six or seven years at most, Ninth Uncle, I will go to Liuyunzhou Immortal Cultivation World to do a very dangerous thing! "

At the beginning of the conversation, Zhou Yang handed over his old knowledge.

When Zhou Guangxiang heard what he said, his expression suddenly changed, and he opened his mouth to speak.

However, before his words could be spoken, Zhou Yang raised his hand to stop him.

"Don't be in a hurry, listen to Jiu Shu and I'll finish!"

Zhou Yang stopped Zhou Guangxiang's voice and said calmly: "Although it can only stay for a few years, the matter of my Zhou family becoming the overlord of the boundless sand sea and immortal world will not change, I will leave it to you, Ninth Uncle. The trump card is also enough to support my Zhou family to cope with various changes!"

"You have been in charge of the family for hundreds of years, and you have a much better understanding of the family's situation than I do with my ninth uncle. I won't go into detail about my ninth uncle."

"Next, while Ninth Uncle, I'm still in the family, you should gather the senior members of the family to make a plan, and list all the things that need to be done after the family becomes the overlord of the boundless sand sea and immortal cultivation world, and list some of the things that you wanted to do in the family before. All the ideas that are not easy to implement are listed, and then I will give them to Ninth Uncle to look over.”

"Uncle Ninth, I will clear all obstacles for you before I leave!"

After Zhou Yang finished speaking, he nodded lightly and said, "Okay, if you have something to say, you can say it now."

"Nephew, I want to know, Ninth Uncle, what is the dangerous thing you are going to do in Floating Cloud Continent Cultivation World? Do you need help from your family?"

Zhou Guangxiang looked at Zhou Yang worriedly, and opened his mouth to ask what he wanted to say.

"I don't know, Ninth Uncle, I don't know what that is now. I only know that it is a very dangerous thing. This matter involves the seniors of the Nascent Soul, so you can't interfere!"

Zhou Yang shook his head, and the words in his mouth made Zhou Guangxiang's face even more worried.

It is true that he or the Zhou family can not intervene in matters involving the cultivators of the Nascent Soul stage. In front of such existences, the small Zhou family can be destroyed at the click of a finger.

"My nephew understands. Ninth Uncle, your order will be done as soon as possible."

He nodded with a gloomy expression, and didn't mention the matter of helping any more. He answered Zhou Yang's previous orders in a low voice. The joy in his heart because Zhou Yang formed a golden core and returned, has long since dissipated.

Seeing this, Zhou Yang didn't say anything on his face, but he was very relieved.

He is optimistic about Zhou Guangxiang's one point, that is, he knows how to advance and retreat, knows the general situation, and will not act recklessly. This is a quality that a family leader must possess.

In addition to these qualities, it is even more satisfying and gratifying to know how to be grateful.

"One more thing, Ninth Uncle, my Golden Core Celebration, it will be held in three years. The venue can be placed on Chihu Mountain, which is closer. At that time, Ninth Uncle and I will personally preach on the stage for ten days and ten nights. Explain the secrets of practice to all the monks attending the meeting!"

It is a big event to hold a Jindan celebration.

In a small place like the Boundless Sand Sea Cultivation World, the Jindan stage cultivator is a top-notch existence, and the significance of the Jindan celebration is even greater than that of the Nascent Soul Celebration in a place like the Liuyunzhou Immortal Cultivation World.

After the Golden Core Celebration, the Zhou family can officially replace Huangshamen and become the new generation of hegemons in the boundless sand sea cultivation world.

"My nephew knows, please rest assured, Ninth Uncle. My nephew will definitely let all the monks in the boundless sand sea cultivation world know the news, and let all the patriarchs of the immortal cultivation family participate in this grand ceremony!"

Zhou Guangxiang was refreshed, and his voice was loud and powerful.

"I don't worry about your work."

Zhou Yang nodded and ended the conversation.

In a few days, he went to the mountain gate of Huangshamen alone.

Zhou Yang didn't know Yang Wenxiong's thoughts.

But he has absolute confidence and is not afraid of Yang Wenxiong's tricks.

If Yang Wenxiong is really dizzy and uses the mountain gate array to deal with him, then he will wake up laughing from a dream.

The agreement between him and Cao Wenjin at the beginning was that if Huang Shamen did not deal with him and the Zhou family, he would never take action against Huang Shamen.

Yang Wenxiong dared to break this agreement, which meant that he helped him untie the bondage. How could he be unhappy.

But of course that can't happen.

When Zhou Yang stepped on the cloud and rushed outside the mountain gate of Huangshamen, Yang Wenxiong, who had learned the news in advance, had already led all the senior officials and disciples of Huangshamen to welcome them out of the mountain gate and waited for a long time.

Seeing him appear, these people all bowed and bowed to him in unison, and shouted respectfully in unison: "All the disciples of Huangshamen, welcome Senior Zhou Fajia to our door!"

Seeing their respectful attitude, people who didn't know saw it and thought that Zhou Yang was the golden elixir ancestor of their Huangshamen!

On the top of the golden auspicious clouds, Zhou Yang saw the respectful appearance of the people at Huangshamen below, and he couldn't help thinking of his first experience in Huangshamen.

At that time, he had just succeeded in building the foundation, because in the battle of destroying demons, he had won the reward of merit points promised by Zhang Yunpeng, the head of Huangshamen. At the request of Zhou Xuanbin, the elder of the family, he agreed to transfer the merit points to his son Zhou Yuanchen. to exchange for the foundation pill.

This is the Huangshamen who came here.

At that time, he had never imagined that one day he would lead the Zhou family to step on Huangshamen under his feet, and let Huangshamen, who had been in the entire boundless sand sea cultivation world for more than 2,000 years, act with his own eyes.

After being in a trance for a moment, Zhou Yang came back to his senses and dropped Xiangyun, and waved his hand with a smile on his face: "You are too polite, fellow Daoists, Zhou and Yang Sect are old friends, so there is really no need for so much courtesy. ."

Hearing him calling him an "old friend", Yang Wenxiong couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief.

At least from the current point of view, Zhou Yang's attitude is still kind, and he doesn't feel aggressive. In this case, things may not develop in the worst direction he thought.

He immediately squeezed a smile on his face and said: "Being able to get acquainted with Senior Zhou before he made his fortune is really a blessing for Yang, but the rules are rules, since Senior Zhou has formed a golden pill, I will be waiting on the road of cultivation. Senior, how could Yang break the rules!"

When Zhou Yang heard the words, he just smiled, which was regarded as a default.

In the world of immortality, the strong are respected. Two monks who have no blood relationship or relationship with teachers meet each other. The monk whose cultivation level is one level lower calls the monk whose cultivation level is one level higher as senior. This is a normal thing. It is also the "rule" in Yang Wenxiong's mouth.

Zhou Yang has long been accustomed to this "rule" and has no discomfort.

Next, after a few polite words, Zhou Yang was invited by Yang Wenxiong into the main hall for a secret conversation.

No one else knew what the two of them talked about in the main hall.

Others only saw that after the two secretly talked in the main hall for a long time, Zhou Yang was personally sent out of the mountain gate by Yang Wenxiong with a smile on his face.

"This Yang Wenxiong is quite acquainted. It seems that with Zhang Yunpeng's lesson, he has already recognized the situation clearly, which saved me a lot of effort."

"But looking at how prepared he is, it seems that he has already prepared for this day?"

"That's right, my Zhou family has been prosperous over the years, but his Huangshamen is declining. As the head of Huangshamen, if he doesn't want to go further, he is too incompetent!"

On the golden auspicious cloud, Zhou Yang, who left Huangshamen, recalled the harvest of his trip, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

In the main hall, he and Yang Wenxiong had a detailed discussion on the future situation of the boundless sand sea cultivation world.

He promised to continue to take care of Huangshamen, and would not violate the "Netherworld Blood Contract" signed at the beginning.

On the other hand, Yang Wenxiong will publicly declare Huang Shamen's decision to lead the Boundless Sand Sea Cultivation Realm with the Zhou family at his Golden Core Ceremony.

It is said that they are leading the Boundless Sand Sea Cultivation Realm together, but everyone with a discerning eye knows that it is Huang Shamen, the former overlord who gave up his hegemony. This is just for Huang Shamen, who has ruled the Boundless Sand Sea Cultivation Realm for more than 2,000 years. The last generation of overlords, leaving the last bit of face.

If these things are just fake names on the name, then the formula of "Yin Lingxiang" and some finished products "Yin Lingxiang" handed over by Yang Wenxiong are real benefits.

With the formula of "Hidden Spirit Fragrance", the Zhou family has mastered the passage to the Floating Cloud Continent Cultivation Realm. In the future, the high-level monks of the Zhou family can use this spirit to help travel to the Floating Cloud Continent Cultivation Realm.

This is of extraordinary significance to the Zhou family.

Of course, Zhou Yang did not take advantage of Yang Wenxiong in vain.

After he got the recipe of "Incense Spiritual Fragrance", he also took out a spiritual item "Pill Condensation Grass" that could assist in forming pills as compensation.

He originally wanted to leave this thing for Taoist companion Xiao Ying to form pills in the future, but he has made a decision now. When he goes to Xuanyang Xianzong to help Lu Xuanji, he will make a small request to the other party. Ask the other party to help make a "Jade Liquid Gold Pill" for his Taoist companion Xiao Ying Jiedan to use after the event.

I believe that with the kindness of Lu Xuanji and Qingyang, they should not refuse his small request.

After returning to Lingxi Peak from Huangshamen, Zhou Yang gave the Taoist companion Xiao Ying a copy of the recipe for "Hidden Spirit Fragrance", and then stored the other copy in the family secret treasury.

Then he shut up.

In this retreat, Zhou Yang was going to take "Enlightenment and Profound Real Fruit" to assist him in practicing the second level of "Taixu Refinement Technique".

This was something he finally decided after thinking about it.

He only has less than ten years to practice, and in such a short time, even with the help of "Enlightenment and Profound Real Fruit", it is impossible to cultivate any kind of magical power in his hands.

And although he has now obtained the full version of the "Dayan Sword Art", because there is no matching fifth-order flying sword, even if he quickly cultivates the third level of the sword art with the help of "Enlightenment Profound True Fruit", he will not be able to improve much. strength.

More importantly, although he didn't know what Lu Xuanji and Qingyang Zhenren wanted to help him, he also knew that he definitely didn't need to fight by himself.

In this way, whether he is cultivating magical powers or practicing sword tactics, it doesn't help much.

On the other hand, the "Tai Xu Refinement Technique" is different. This secret technique enhances the consciousness of the cultivator, and it is a choice that can never be wrong.

Two years passed in a flash.

With the help of "Enlightenment and Profound Real Fruit", it took Zhou Yang a little more than two years to successfully complete the second level of "Tai Xu Refinement Technique", and the strength of his consciousness increased by 10% again.

At this time, his spiritual strength was even stronger than that of ordinary Jindan 9th-layer cultivators, and only slightly weaker than those who also practiced the secret method of enhancing spiritual consciousness.

"In the future, I have to find an opportunity to find a profound spiritual sense to attack the magical power practice, otherwise my powerful spiritual sense will be wasted in vain!"

In the retreat room, Zhou Yang took back the consciousness he released, and the light in his eyes flashed.

Although the immortal cultivator has a great resistance to the attack of the consciousness after opening up the Zifu, but this does not mean that the attack of the consciousness is useless for the cultivator above the Zifu period.

Some advanced divine consciousness attacking supernatural powers can also be effective for Jindan monks and even Nascent Soul monks.

However, such profound magical powers are rarely circulated, and the monks who possess them are kept secret. Whether they can obtain them is also a matter of chance.

In the two years that Zhou Yang was in retreat, Zhou Guangxiang had already done what he explained to Zhou Guangxiang.

As soon as he left the border, he received the Zhou family development plan that Zhou Guangxiang had spent a year or two producing.

"Unifying the clothes and the family emblem will help enhance the collective sense of honor of the family cultivators, and make it easier for outsiders to identify the identity of my Zhou family members, creating awe."

"Changing the welfare offering system and assessing the cultivation base of all family cultivators will help improve the family cultivator's progress and help the family save some unnecessary expenses."

"The establishment of a direct vassal family will help expand the influence of the family and send more outstanding elite children to the family."

"Forming an inspection team to fight against sand thieves can not only exercise the clan's actual combat ability, but also gain a good reputation for the family."

"Optimizing the structure of the family hall and dividing the grades internally can improve the efficiency of the family's operation and encourage the progress of the clansmen."

In the cave, at Zhou Yang's request, Zhou Guangxiang explained his plans one by one.

He has been in charge of the Zhou family for many years, and he has an unparalleled understanding of the internal situation of the Zhou family. These plans and projects are also formulated according to the actual situation.

If there was no order from Zhou Yang that day, he may slowly implement these plans in the future.

But since Zhou Yang was going to use his unparalleled influence in the family, and Lei Ting was sweeping away all the obstacles within the family for him, he didn't need to think so much, and he was done.

"Very good, just follow your plan. After the Ninth Uncle and my Golden Core Celebration is held, I will convene all the clansmen to hold a family meeting to implement these plans!"

Zhou Yang nodded with satisfaction, put down the plan made by Zhou Guangxiang, and made a decision on the spot.

Zhou Guangxiang was relieved when he heard his agreement, but also very excited.

These reforms, without the support of Zhou Yang, the ancestor of the Jindan period family, even he, the patriarch of the Zifu period, would not be able to withstand the huge pressure from within the family to forcibly implement them.

You must know that if the reform is really carried out according to his plan, the interests of all the monks from the bottom to the top of the entire family will be affected. I don’t know how many family monks will lose their interests because of his reform.

This kind of offends the whole family of monks, and only Zhou Yang, the unparalleled prestige in the family, and the family ancestor who has not left any descendants so far, dares to do it, and has the courage to do it.

"This is the ninth uncle that I admire and respect!"

Zhou Guangxiang looked at Zhou Yang with reverence, and his heart was agitated.

Since he was a child, he has studied with Zhou Yang as his goal and example, and now, although he is a cultivator of the Zifu period and the patriarch of the Zhou family, his admiration for Zhou Yang, the clan uncle, has never changed.

Immediately, he left the cave with full of joy and enthusiasm, and went to prepare for the Zhouyang Golden Core Celebration.

And Zhou Yang looked at the back of his leaving, and then looked at his plan, but fell into deep thought.

It can be seen from this plan that Zhou Guangxiang has great ambitions.

If he really implements these reform plans according to the plan he made, with time, even if the Zhou family does not have his Jindan ancestor in charge, no one can shake the status of the overlord of the boundless sand sea and immortal world.

However, just as Zhou Guangxiang is worried, when these reform plans are implemented, they are bound to encounter unprecedented resistance within the family.

Not to mention the other points, just to change the welfare offering and the assessment of the family cultivator is enough to arouse the opposition of 80 to 90% of the family cultivator.

In the current welfare offering system of the original Zhou family, as long as the children of the family reach the qi training period and reach the age of 20, they can continue to receive the welfare offerings corresponding to their cultivation until they are 60 years old.

However, according to Zhou Guangxiang's reformed welfare offering standards, if the children of the family want to receive the corresponding welfare offerings every year, they must pass the assessment standards set by the family.

For example, a family cultivator who has reached the third level of Qi training this year can receive 40 family contribution points every year. If he does not progress in his cultivation after five years, the family contribution points he will receive will be halved. Progress, will be suspended family contribution points.

On the other hand, if they can be promoted to the fourth level of Qi training within five years, then the family will be rewarded with an additional 100 family contribution points.

Just this one, I don't know how many clansmen who neglect their cultivation will have their income greatly reduced.

Especially those clansmen with low-grade spiritual root aptitude, after reaching the middle stage of qi training, if they do not practice hard, it will be difficult to pass this test.

If they can't pass the assessment, these people will have cut off their fixed source of income. If they want to obtain cultivation resources in the future, they can only accept family tasks or go out for adventures like loose cultivators.

This is why it is said that this reform of Zhou Guangxiang will touch the interests of all the cultivators of the family.

And in order to give these monks a reliable way out, there is another reform plan proposed by Zhou Guangxiang~www.novelmt.com~ to establish a directly affiliated vassal family!

What is a direct vassal family?

It is to eliminate some clan monks who are not qualified and do not want to make a living every few years, and give them a considerable severance pay, so that they can leave the clan and start their own small clan.

The small families established by these people are nominally dominated by the Zhou family and count as a branch of the Zhou family. In fact, the Zhou family will not provide them with any actual material assistance, and their descendants will not be included in the Zhou family tree. Just provide them with a layer of protection.

If they want to gain practical benefits from the Zhou family, there is only one way to go, and that is to send the descendants with good spiritual roots in the small family to the main family, get the characters bestowed by the main family, record them in the genealogy, and enjoy the main family. The treatment of monks.

As long as the small family sends a high-grade spiritual root qualification cultivator to the main family, or a total of five mid-grade spiritual root qualification cultivators, they can get a reward of a foundation pill.

As long as there is a foundation-building cultivator in the small family, it can officially become a branch of the main family, and the descendants of the family will be included in the Zhou family tree again.
