Cultivation Begins From The Desert

At this time, the news of Zhou Yang's pseudonym "Qingyun Sanren" was only spread among the high-ranking monks of the "Six Dao League".

Therefore, after learning that Zhou Yang was injured in order to rescue Suyunzong, several Suyunzong Jindan monks, including Lin Yuxian, enthusiastically took out some healing spirits that they were reluctant to use and gave them to him. Help him heal and recover.

Zhou Yang naturally would not refuse such benefits, and put them all away with a smile.

In any case, it was a fact that he rescued Suyunzong's injuries, and he accepted these things with peace of mind, without any psychological burden at all.

With the help of these high-quality healing spirits, and one-on-one assisted treatment by Taoist companion Xiao Ying, Zhou Yang basically stabilized his injuries after only half a month of retreat, without affecting his normal combat performance.

It's just that the exhausted blood essence has not fully recovered, and some hidden wounds on the body have not fully healed. For the time being, the two trump cards "Suppressing the Sky Canglong Cauldron" and "Wrath of the Canglong" should not be used again if they can be used. It's easy to use.

After the injury was under control, Zhou Yang was not in a hurry to leave the customs to meet with Lin Yuxian and other Suyunzong Jindan stage monks to discuss the follow-up battle plan, but took advantage of this hard-won opportunity to rest, and checked his own strength in these days of successive battles. reward.

In the past few days, there were seven Jindan stage monks who died directly under his hands.

Of these dead monks, except for one monk who destroyed all the treasures of his body because of the self-explosion of the golden core, the treasures carried by the rest of the monks fell into his hands.

It is true that because these monks all had sect family backgrounds and went to the battlefield to fight with monks of the same level, they did not bring any sundries such as spirit stones and spiritual materials. As a result, Zhou Yang's harvest was not as good as killing those Jindan monks in the past.

But I can't stand the number of Jindan monks who were killed by him this time!

For the six Jindan stage monks, just the instruments, elixir, and talismans they prepared for this war are a big gain.

After Zhou Yang inspected all the storage rings, he found 15 pieces of fifth-level magical artifacts. Even if he removed six of the less valuable natal magic artifacts, he still got nine fifth-level magical artifacts. There are two magical artifacts, three middle-grade fifth-grade artifacts, and four low-grade fifth-grade artifacts.

In addition, there are more than 30 Tier 4 and Tier 5 spirit pills found in the search, among which there are many types that can heal internal and external injuries, restore essence and blood vitality, and detoxify.

What pleased Zhou Yang the most was that he also found a fifth-order middle-grade panacea in a monk's storage ring [Three-turn Huiyuan Pill].

The function of this [Three Turns Back to Yuan Pill] is very simple, and it can quickly restore the mana of the golden core stage monks.

With the fifth level of Zhou Yang's golden elixir, one [Three-Returning Yuan Pill] can restore half of his mana within a quarter of an hour, and he got three of these elixirs this time!

Like this kind of panacea that can quickly restore the mana of a monk in the Jindan stage, few alchemists can refine it, because the materials needed to refine this panacea are usually very precious, and most of them can be used to refine the alchemy. A panacea that can improve one's cultivation.

In this case, if personal use is not considered, it is obviously much more cost-effective to use these materials to refine the kind of panacea that can be refined in terms of value.

Therefore, even if someone wants to ask for this kind of panacea, they often cannot ask for it.

In addition to magic weapon pills, Zhou Yang also gained a lot from the spirit talismans. He got seven medium-grade spirit talismans of the fifth rank, sixteen low-grade spirit runes of the fifth rank, and nine upper-grade charms of the fourth rank.

Finally, there are spirit stones. On top of the spirit stones, although those Jindan stage monks did not carry many middle-grade spirit stones and low-grade spirit stones with them, they must carry some high-grade spirit stones to replenish mana, which made Zhou Yang gain again. Thirty-three high-grade spirit stones can be considered a considerable harvest.

So far, the number of high-grade spirit stones carried by Zhou Yang alone has reached 194 yuan!

With so many high-grade spirit stones, few monks in the golden core stage can get them out, and even some Nascent Soul stage monks who haven't conceived for a long time may not be able to get them all at once.

Except that about 10% of these high-grade spirit stones are produced by the spirit stone mine developed by the Zhou family, the rest are obtained by Zhou Yang from killing enemies over the years.

Killing and setting fire to a golden belt, this is really a wise saying!

"There are also those meritorious deeds that have not been calculated. This time I killed so many Jindan stage monks and helped Suyunzong fight a beautiful counterattack. Presumably the accumulated meritorious deeds have reached a level that ordinary people can't reach." Quantity, after the war, I will be rewarded according to meritorious deeds, and these meritorious deeds will allow me to exchange for various rare treasures from the Dao League!"

In the secret room, Zhou Yang's eyes glistened, thinking of what he had gained in this war, he still felt very comfortable.

Master Qingyang was right in what he said at the beginning, for a powerful monk like him, war is indeed a shortcut to quickly accumulate cultivation resources.

As long as he can continue to win and live until the end of this war, his final harvest will definitely envy countless people.

After checking all kinds of harvests in this way, Zhou Yang finally walked out of the closed room of the cave mansion, and then took his Taoist companion Xiao Ying to visit Lin Yuxian, a monk of the Golden Core stage of Suyunzong, and inquire about the next plan of the other party and others.

"Fellow Daoist Zhou has retreated and healed his injuries these days, and the thieves from [Six Dao League] have brought in some reinforcements. Now the number of Jindan stage monks on the other side outside the mountain has not decreased but increased, and has reached twelve!"

"However, the good news is that the reinforcements organized by the Daoist League have finally arrived in the Kingdom of Chang. They are currently rescuing Qian Yuanzong, who is in the most critical situation, and should be able to come to us soon."

"So my waiting plan is still to stand firm and wait for reinforcements, continue to rely on the mountain guards to defend the mountain gate, and wait for the reinforcements to arrive before launching a full-scale counterattack!"

In the Suyun Sect, facing Zhou Yang and his wife's visit, after receiving them, Lin Yuxian told them about the recent changes in the situation and the next plan.

To be honest, this change in the situation somewhat exceeded Zhou Yang's expectations.

After listening to Lin Yuxian's words, he pondered for a while, and then asked with a puzzled expression on his face: "Friend Daoist Lin, it stands to reason that even if we [Xuanqing Daomeng] lost senior Lu Xuanji and the seniors of Xuanyang Xianzong , the top combat power is no match for their [Six Dao League], but at the level of Jindan stage monks, there should not be much difference in their number. The number of monks is still so many above us?"

More than a month has passed since the war, with the speed of Jindanqi monks, and the teleportation formations set up by Xuanyang Xianzong and Yuqing Daozong in various places to help transfer, even if the Jindanqi monks of the "Xuanqing Taoist League" were on the other side before, It should be enough to rush to the Kingdom of Chang to join the war.

That's why Zhou Yang had this question.

"Fellow daoists don't know, although the number of Jindan stage monks in our [Xuanqing Dao League] is not much less than their [Six Dao League], but the enemies who attacked us this time are not only their [Six Dao League] family!"

"According to the known news, besides the [Six Dao League], there are also three top sects of Jiuyang Sect, Yinxuan Sect, and Yu Beast Sect who have also sent monks to join the war. Give us enough strength to support us!"

There was a wry smile on Lin Yuxian's face, and he explained the whole story to Zhou Yang helplessly.

Zhou Yang's face suddenly changed.

"Has even the Beastmaster Sect joined in?"

He muttered to himself, suddenly feeling a little guilty for some reason.

His intuition told him that the Beast Master Sect also sent people to take advantage of the fire, and it was probably related to his killing many high-ranking monks of the opponent's sect. At least the excuse used by the opponent would definitely add such a thing.

Although he can't be blamed for this, after all, he did it for self-protection at the beginning. From the beginning to the end, it was the people from the Beastmaster Sect who bullied others too much, which led to those tragedies.

However, if the "Xuanqing Daomeng" suffered great losses in the war due to the participation of the Beast Sect, he, the "culprit", would inevitably be impeached and punished afterwards.

And if you want to avoid being angered because of this incident afterwards, the best way to deal with it is to make great contributions in this war.

As long as his contribution is so great that no one else can compare, and there is Qingyang Daoist to help speak out, even if someone uses this excuse to attack him, he will still be able to take the credit and not be punished.

Thinking of this, he immediately nodded to Lin Yuxian and said: "I understand, since the noble sect has decided to stick to it and wait for help, the inferior people should also do their best."

After he finished speaking, he paused again, then bowed his hands suddenly and said: "However, I have an unfeeling request and I want to ask Fairy Lin to agree, but those disciples have suffered a lot in the battle of guarding Chongxuan Mountain before. Injuries, so I want to ask Fairy Lin to arrange a place for them to rest in peace."

Hearing that what he was asking for was only such a trivial matter, Lin Yuxian immediately agreed readily: "This is a trivial matter, don't worry fellow Taoist, I will immediately ask someone to arrange a few secluded yards for Lingtu and others to recuperate in peace, as long as the guardian If the Shanda Formation is not broken, they will never be recruited to join the battle!"

"In this case, I will thank Fairy Lin first."

Zhou Yang thanked him, and chatted with Lin Yuxian about assisting in defensive operations, then left with Taoist companion Xiao Ying.

Zhou Ronghua and others also recuperated in the courtyard arranged by Suyunzong during the days when Zhou Yang retreated to heal his injuries. Among them, Ye Yunshan and Zhou Shengyu, two formal disciples of Xiao Ying, had a separate courtyard, and Zhou Ronghua and other seven or eight registered disciples shared a courtyard. a yard.

From the arrangement of Suyunzong, we can see how big the difference is between the formal disciples of the golden core stage monks and the registered disciples.

Of course, it can’t be blamed that Suyunzong intends to make this kind of differential treatment. It is because a large number of foundation-building monks and Zifu monks gathered in the mountain gate, causing all kinds of courtyard houses on the mountain to be full. It is simply unrealistic for a monk in the foundation period to have a single courtyard.

It is true that with the power of immortal cultivators, it is possible to rebuild a courtyard with local materials, and it is also possible to build thousands of courtyards in the Suyunzong Mountain Gate without being too crowded.

But the problem is, this is the mountain gate of Suyun Sect, and the mountain gate represents the face of a sect. After so many years of development, all the places in the mountain gate have been fully utilized, and some places even hide Suyun. Some unknown secrets of Zong.

It would be too unworthy to destroy these development results and let people see the secrecy of the sect just to make these foundation-building monks live comfortably.

Therefore, except for the cultivators of the Zifu period and the monks of the Jindan period who can always have an independent cave on the mountain, the monks of the foundation period, unless they are official disciples of the Jindan period monks like Ye Yunshan and Zhou Shengyu, can only be crowded with three or five people. In a yard.

Of course, using the word "squeeze" is actually a bit imprecise, because even if five people live in a yard, each person can sit in a room, so it's not crowded at all.

The word "squeeze" actually describes that the private space of a single monk is restricted, making it inconvenient to do some private things.

Fortunately, the Suyun Sect also tried its best to take care of these foundation-building monks, placing monks from the same sect and family in a courtyard in a certain area, and allowing them to arrange the residents in a certain courtyard by themselves.

So Ye Yunshan was able to take Taoist couple Wang Yanzhang to live in her yard, and Zhou Shengyu also took the initiative to let Zhou Ronghua and other injured Zhou family monks go to his yard to recuperate.

After Zhou Yang returned from visiting Lin Yuxian, he went directly to the disciples' courtyard to visit and encourage the disciples who were injured in the war.

He first went to Zhou Shengyu's courtyard, and called all the monks of the Zhou family here to encourage and comfort him.

"The cruelty of the monks' war must have been deeply felt by you this time. It is better to experience it once by dictating it a thousand times. No matter how much I have told you in the family before, you will not have any deep reflections. Only in person Once you’ve been through something like this, you’ll remember it in your heart.”

"Compared to the world of cultivating immortals in the boundless sand sea, the outside world is very exciting, but the outside world is also full of helplessness and danger. For example, in this battle to defend Xuanshan Mountain, facing the attack of powerful enemies, it is stronger than my ancestors. , and can’t take care of you juniors, so you can only fend for yourself.”

In the courtyard, Zhou Yang looked at the Zhou family's children, and instead of praising these people in a hurry, he first taught them a lesson in a serious tone.

When he saw these juniors pondering the meaning of his words after listening to his words, he changed the subject and praised in a relieved tone: "But fortunately, none of you have disappointed me, my ancestor. , Your performance in this war has not lived up to the usual teachings of your family, you have not lived up to the expectations of my ancestors, you are worthy of your surname, worthy of your surname!"

"Especially Ronghua and Rongxiang, you guys were able to overcome the fear of death in the end, suppress the idea of ​​escape in your heart, stick to the clan rules and give the chance of survival to Sheng Yu and Sheng Ying. Relieved and happy!"

"If all the monks of our Zhou family can be like you, if everyone can be like you, regardless of personal life and death, honor or disgrace, and sacrifice their lives for the prosperity of the family, then how can our Zhou family not prosper? ? How can it not become stronger?"

"I used to worry about one thing, my ancestors. I was worried that you, the descendants of the Zhou family who grew up in peacetime, would not be able to shoulder the heavy responsibility of the prosperous family. I was worried that you, like flowers in a greenhouse, would not be able to withstand the wind, frost, rain and snow outside. Don't afford any setbacks!"

"But now, ancestor, I know that I can let go of this worry, because you are worthy of the blood flowing in your body, worthy of the surname you have, what the Zhou family ancestors and heroes can do, you younger generations, the same It can be done, and even better!"

These passionate words, uttered from Zhou Yang, the most admired person in the hearts of all the Zhou family monks, have an extraordinary effect on all the Zhou family monks in the courtyard.

It can be clearly seen that Zhou Ronghua and the others, who were sluggish and pale due to the sequelae of the "Blood Boiling Technique", suddenly seemed to have eaten some great tonic, and everyone's faces were bright red with excitement. Excited.

They knew how rare the praise from Zhou Yang, the ancestor of the Zhou family, was. Since Zhou Yang succeeded in forming alchemy, except for Zhou Tongxuan who was praised by Zhou Yang for risking his life to kill the rare monster [Jade Faced Jackal]. No descendant of the Zhou family has ever been praised by him like this.

If they are still in the world of cultivating immortals in the boundless sand sea, this honor alone is enough to make them the envy of all monks of the same generation, enough to make many elders look at them with admiration, and enough to raise their status in the family by a few steps.

"The old ancestor is too famous. The younger generation and others did what they did at the time, but they were doing their duty as a monk of the Zhou family!"

"In the family school since I was a child, I heard the elders talk about the experience that the ancestors of your family before you sacrificed themselves to pave the way for the descendants with their own corpses in order to pass on the family. The younger generation often burst into tears and was shocked. I am extremely grateful for the dedication and sacrifice of these ancestors, and I am determined to contribute my meager strength to the prosperity and strength of the family like these ancestors."

"Compared to the sacrifices and efforts made by the ancestors for the family during the most difficult period of the family, what is the little thing that the younger generation and others have done this time?"

"At that time, if the juniors and others were selfish and only cared about their own lives, they would be truly sorry for the family's teaching and upbringing over the years, for your trust in the ancestors, and even more for those who gave their lives for the prosperity of the Zhou family. The ancestors and the clan are in vain the descendants of the Zhou family!"

Zhou Ronghua looked at Zhou Yang excitedly and a little bit ashamed, and responded excitedly to the patriarch's praise.

This should be the most level words he has spoken in his life. With just a few words, he has fully revealed his utter loyalty to the family in front of Zhou Yang, the patriarch of the family.

And his words from the heart really surprised and delighted Zhou Yang, and he looked at him with admiration.

In the past few decades, Zhou Ronghua gave Zhou Yang the impression that he was well-behaved, without any characteristics worthy of special attention, very mediocre.

Compared with this junior of the Zhou family, Zhou Yang valued Wang Yanzhang as an outsider even more. He admired Wang Yanzhang's chivalrous spirit, and thought that as long as this kind of person was not buried, he would definitely be able to do something in the future.

But now, he was pleasantly surprised to find that this mediocre junior in his family, who was ignored by him, had some merits.

At least in this war, the opponent's utter loyalty to the family and the way of thinking about the overall situation of the family are not something ordinary people can do.

Don't look at when he praised Zhou Ronghua and others just now, he said it nicely, as if all the younger disciples of the Zhou family were Zhou Ronghua, able to sacrifice themselves for others.

In fact, he knew very well in his heart that it was simply impossible.

Even in the most difficult time for the Zhou family, such people who can sacrifice themselves for the great cause of the family and sacrifice themselves for others do not account for the majority.

In many cases, the so-called self-sacrifice for others is just a helpless act under forced circumstances.

And it was precisely because of this that the value of Zhou Ronghua and the others appeared.

He looked at Zhou Ronghua and the others with a look of admiration, nodded with great satisfaction and said: "Remember the martyrs and be grateful to the predecessors. This is what the family has always taught the future generations. Ronghua, you can put this teaching into practice. Practice, use your own actions to learn and pay tribute to those heroes and heroes, this spirit is worth learning from you for all Zhou family monks!"

After he finished speaking, he pondered for a while, and then made a decision resolutely: "Old Ancestor, I have decided that next time I return to the family, I will take you back, and let you personally tell all the monks of the family about your experience. And call on all the descendants of the family to follow your example!"

This is a great honor!

Taking oneself as an example and calling on all monks of the family to learn, this honor belongs to the entire Zhou family, and currently only Zhou Yang, the ancestor of the Zhou family, has it.

Even the patriarch Zhou Guangxiang, who has been the head of the Zhou family for more than two hundred years, has not won this honor.

Therefore, when Zhou Ronghua, Zhou Rongxiang and others heard Zhou Yang's decision, they were so excited and surprised that they almost fainted. They really never dreamed that they would get such an honor one day!

It is foreseeable that if this matter really happens, their names will definitely leave a strong mark on the family history of the Zhou family in the future.

Their names, like Zhou Minghan, Zhou Xuanhao and other heroes of the Zhou family ancestors, will become familiar to all Zhou family members in the next thousand years, and their heroic deeds will also become a part of the Zhou family academy. A must-teach class!

To be able to receive such an honor while they were still alive, they really made a lot of money, and it can be said that they died without regrets!

Plop! Plop!

Zhou Ronghua and the others knelt down on the ground in unison, facing Zhou Yang with extremely excited expressions, kowtowed three times in a row, and shouted in a trembling voice: "Grandfather, great grace, The juniors have nothing to repay, but to dedicate this useless body to the family, and swear to die to repay the great favor of the ancestors and the family!"

"You deserve it, don't thank me, get up quickly."

Zhou Yang stepped forward in person, stretched out his hands to help them up one by one, and even patted their shoulders kindly.

This kind of action, in the eyes of several people, made several people excited.

And those monks of the Zhou family in the yard who were not included in the list, their envious eyes were about to explode at this moment, and they were beating their chests and hating why they were not among them at that time, not one of them.

Your body is recovering, thank you for your concern! This is today's update, I can't finish writing the chapter in the early morning, everyone, don't wait too late, it will be updated at noon tomorrow!
