Cultivation Begins From The Desert

Chapter 615 Sixteen years later!

Master Qingyang is a kind person, or Xuanyang Xianzong is not afraid of Zhou Yang's repentance.

The territory promised to the Zhou family had already been assigned to Zhou Yang after little Zhou Guangcheng confirmed his apprenticeship with Master Qingyang, but Zhou Yang hadn't taken it over before.

This time Zhou Guangxiang and Zhou Tongxuan, the aunt and nephew, came over, and after Zhou Yang agreed with them on a plan, he asked them to drive the large empty boat to run back and forth several times, and sent thousands of mortals from the Zhou family in the mountain city on the side of Xuanshan Mountain. Most of the Zhou family's monks on Hechongxuan Mountain were transported to Daoxuan Kingdom and placed near the Lingshan Mountain assigned to them by Xuanyang Immortal Sect.

It can be said that every inch of land is precious in Daoxuan country, as long as ordinary mortals can settle down in the territory of Daoxuan country, they can basically live in peace until they die.

In this case, of course, the territory assigned to the Zhou family would not be too large.

Including the fourth-tier high-grade Lingshan assigned to them, only the surrounding five hundred miles of land belonged to the Zhou family and could be freely controlled by the Zhou family.

However, it is also five hundred miles of land, the land within Daoxuan Kingdom is completely different from the oasis land in the Boundless Sand Sea and Immortal Cultivation Realm.

After tens of thousands of years of development, every mu of paddy fields, every mu of mountains, and every mu of lakes in Daoxuan Kingdom can provide various living resources for the humans living here.

With only five hundred miles of land, it is easy to feed millions of mortals.

Originally, after the land was assigned to the Zhou family, the monks and mortals living here had to migrate away, and the Lingshan and the land were given over to the monks and mortals of the Zhou family to practice and live.

However, in view of the special situation of the Zhou family, Zhou Yang did a good deed out of kindness. In addition to letting a Xiuxian family who originally lived there lead its hundreds of thousands of mortals to leave, the remaining 20 or 30 people on this land All mortals were not forcibly evicted.

As for how to arrange these mortals in the future, how to integrate the Zhou family into the vassal family circle of Xuanyang Xianzong in Daoxuan Kingdom, Zhou Yang gave it to Zhou Tongxuan as an assessment task.

Ever since he learned that his father Zhou Guangxiang was recuperating to heal his wounds and was preparing to attack the Golden Core, Zhou Tongxuan invited himself to stay in the Immortal Cultivation Realm of Liuyunzhou to wait for the result.

Zhou Yang naturally would not object to his filial piety, so he just entrusted him, the head of the Zhou family, with the task of building the Zhou family in the Liuyunzhou Immortal Cultivation Realm.

Of course it is impossible to let go completely, occasionally Zhou Yang will still give some advice to Zhou Tongxuan, and even go out to help the Zhou family to integrate into the circle of Xiuxian family in Daoxuan Kingdom as soon as possible.

As for Zhou Guangxiang, after meeting Zhou Guangxiang who had left the customs halfway, she returned to the world of cultivating immortals in the boundless sand sea.

Time passed, and in the blink of an eye, little Zhou Guangcheng was twelve years old, and he had grown into a beautiful boy with red lips and white teeth.

His appearance is 70% similar to that of Zhou Yang's father, and he has inherited Zhou Yang's excellent genes in terms of height. He has grown to six feet at the age of twelve, taller than some adults.

But in terms of personality, this kid is more like his mother Xiao Ying, with a quiet and kind temperament, rarely gets angry, and doesn't like to use force with others.

Zhou Yang sometimes has a headache for his temperament, fearing that he will suffer in the future.

But because the child was still young, he didn't want to expose him to the cruelty of the world of cultivating immortals too early, so he didn't use some drastic means to change his temperament.

Mainly in this respect, his Taoist companion Xiao Ying also objected to him doing this, the reason was that his son would have Daoist Qingyang, a Nascent Soul cultivator, as his master in the future, and it was impossible for his son to be bullied and suffer.

The son is the darling of the mother, and Zhou Yang wisely did not quarrel with the Taoist companions in this regard. He just planned to wait for the son to turn sixteen and send him to the Xuanyang Immortal Sect, and then secretly explain the matter to Master Qingyang, so that he could This master came to be the "wicked person".

"Mother, has it been a long time since Dad retreated to refine the weapon this time? It has been five months, and usually he will come out in a month at most!"

On Chongxuan Mountain, Zhou Guangcheng, who has grown into a handsome and handsome boy, helped his mother Xiao Ying to comb her long hair in front of the mirror, and at the same time talked about his father Zhou Yang's practice of refining weapons with a hint of complaint.

"You cheapskate, isn't it just that the promise to go to Suyunzong to play has been postponed for a few days, so that you will hate your father?"

Xiao Ying raised her eyebrows, stretched out her jade hand and gently twisted her son's handsome face that resembled her husband, cursed with a smile, and then said with a happy face: "Don't bother your father, he Such a long time of retreat this time means that his promotion to the fifth-level craftsman should be completed, "

"Really? That would be great!"

Zhou Guangcheng's eyes lit up, and he clapped his hands with joy.

Although he was only twelve years old, he also knew what a fifth-level craftsman represented. He was a true master craftsman, and he had a very high status in the world of immortality.

In fact, what Xiao Ying said was right, Zhou Yang had indeed reached the final stage of being promoted to the fifth rank of craftsman.

This time, he failed three times in a row to retreat the refiner.

According to past experience, after he failed twice in a row, he would stop refining the weapon and calm down to sum up his experience and lessons.

But this time it was different. This time, the places where he failed were the ones that he had conquered before, not new unknown problems, so he continued.

In this way, he waited until he was refining for the fourth time, and suddenly he had a flash of inspiration, like a divine help, he refined the magic weapon to the last step in one breath.

Now, his magic weapon has basically been refined, and he is working on the final pregnant weapon.

It is not uncommon for a fifth-order magic weapon to last as short as three to five years, or as long as thirty or fifty years.

Generally speaking, the "pregnancy device" does not necessarily need to be watched by the refiner for a long time. As long as the device tripod is not moved and there is no problem with the supply of ground fire, the "pregnancy device" basically will not go wrong.

Zhou Yang watched over this magical artifact because it was related to his promotion to the fifth-level crafting master, so he looked over at the side without worry, recalling and summarizing his experience in crafting this time.

After waiting for eight months, he was sure that there would be no more problems with the "pregnancy device", and after digesting the experience gained in the device refining, he walked out of the device refining room to meet his wife and children.

"Father, mother said that you should have succeeded in refining this time, is it true?"

As soon as Zhou Guangcheng saw Zhou Yang leaving the customs, he looked at him expectantly and asked about the result.

"Whether it was successful or not, it's hard to say now, but did you sneak down the mountain to play again this time while taking advantage of your father's closed-door refinement?"

Zhou Yang looked at his son's handsome face that resembled his own, and he was in a good mood.

"How dare you kid! The last time you sneaked down the mountain to play for half a day, you locked him up in confinement for half a year. How dare you commit another crime."

Zhou Guangcheng shook his head again and again, with a trace of fear showing on his small face, he kept denying.

Seeing this, Zhou Yang couldn't help nodding his head in satisfaction and said, "It's fine if you don't dare. You are still young and don't understand the dangers outside. Dad locked you up and taught you a lesson. It's also for your own good. You will understand this in the future." of."

Hearing this, Zhou Guangcheng curled his lips secretly, a little disapproving, but he didn't dare to refute anything, he just stood there silently.

Young people have a rebellious heart, and the age of twelve is when the rebellious heart is the strongest. Zhou Yang knows this clearly, so even though he knew that Zhou Guangcheng might not listen to what he said, he still said it.

With the passage of time and the maturity of his mentality, he also believes that the mature teenagers will understand how good his father is to him.

He didn't point it out, just smiled and said: "Get ready, I will take you to Suyunzong to play for a few months as a father in a few days, it is a reward for your outstanding performance in the past two years."

Liu Yunxiang of Suyun Sect has already cultivated to a ninth-level Golden Core cultivator. For the vast majority of Golden Core Stage monks who are not from the sect, this cultivation base has basically reached its peak.

Attacking the Nascent Soul stage is no better than building a foundation or forming an alchemy. Once it fails, it is basically the end of falling.

Therefore, Jindan ninth-level monks like Liu Yunxiang, who came from a middle school, would not easily try to conceive a baby, lest if they fail and fall, it will cause turmoil in the sect.

Liu Yunxiang's lifespan is only over 800 years old, and she will have to wait at least a hundred years before trying to conceive a baby. During this period of time, she will do her best to work for the sect, improve the internal and external strength of the sect, and Avoid any turmoil in the sect if you fail and fall.

The last time she came to Chongxuanshan to visit Zhou Yang, she wanted to connect with foreign aid and deepen the friendship between the two forces.

This time Zhou Yang returned to Suyunzong at her invitation, and it was the same.

Although Suyunzong lost many monks in the battle decades ago, fortunately, the high-ranking monks did not suffer much loss, and because Liu Yunxiang killed three people in a row in that battle [Six Dao League] The golden core monks also exchanged for a piece of [Jade Liquid Golden Core] afterwards, and successfully created another golden core monk for the sect.

Now Suyun Sect has a Five Gold Elixir, and there is Liu Yunxiang, a ninth-level monk of the Golden Core, among them, the momentum is much stronger than before the war.

Zhou Yang brought his wife and children to visit. Except for one Golden Core stage monk who was out traveling, the four Golden Core stage monks of Suyun Sect including Liu Yunxiang all came out of the mountain gate to welcome them, and gave them the highest standard. reception.

"Aunt Lin, why don't you see Sister Mi'er? She also said last time that after my father and I came to Suyun Sect, she would take me to see the spirit bees she raised and invite me to drink the nectar brewed by her herself! "

In the Suyun Sect, while his father Zhou Yang was discussing some matters with Liu Yunxiang, Zhou Guangcheng quietly ran to the side of Suyun Sect Jindan monk Lin Yuxian, and looked eagerly at Lin Yuxian to inquire about a certain Suyun Sect girl. information.

"Mier, she went down the mountain to travel, if you want to see her, you may have to wait until next time."

Lin Yuxian looked at the young boy who was looking at him expectantly, smiled and shook his head, and gave an answer that disappointed Zhou Guangcheng.

"Ah, how could this happen!"

He let out a cry of disappointment, and instantly became listless.

"Hmph, let me tell you why you always want to come to Suyunzong. It turns out that you want to come here to have a private meeting with a little girl. You only know how old you are, and you really don't learn well at all."

Xiao Ying suddenly appeared from behind her son with an unhappy expression, and scolded him coldly, so she was eavesdropping behind her.

Seeing this, Lin Yuxian couldn't help smiling and said: "Young Mu Ai, it's just human nature, so why should Sister Xiao blame him? If he still likes Mi'er after a few years, isn't it impossible for our two families to become in-laws?" !"

Xiao Ying never thought about it, but she refused without any hesitation: "My concubine also likes Mi'er, but it's too early to say about getting married. Husband has high expectations for Cheng'er. I will not agree with him getting married before he has achieved success in cultivation!"

About Zhou Guangcheng's apprenticeship with Master Qingyang, before he formally entered the Xuanyang Immortal Sect, only a very few people knew about it, and even he himself didn't know about it to prevent the news from leaking out.

However, Xuanyang Xianzong's "Xuanyang Treasure" requires that the practitioner should preferably have a body of Yuanyang when practicing.

Even after reaching the golden core stage, maintaining the body of Yuanyang is still of great help to the practice of this technique.

This news was only told to him after Zhou Yang and Master Qingyang reached an agreement.

Knowing the news at the time, he knew that he had been swayed by Master Qingyang unknowingly.

If he wants Zhou Guangcheng to have descendants in the future, he reserves the right for the descendants to return to the Zhou family to recognize their ancestors, but Zhou Guangcheng has practiced the "Xuanyang Treasure" in the future, so it is really unknown whether Zhou Guangcheng is willing to leave descendants.

Of course Lin Yuxian didn't know about these things, so when she heard Xiao Ying's words, she immediately showed surprise on her face, then she glanced thoughtfully at Zhou Guangcheng who was beside her with an unnatural expression, nodded slightly and said: "Now The matter is indeed reckless, and the two children are still young, so let's talk about the future."

At night, during the break, Xiao Ying told Zhou Yang about the conversation she had with Lin Yuxian during the day.

After Zhou Yang listened to her words, he immediately praised her again and again: "Yinger, you did the right thing, the young Muai, Guangcheng is still young, it is human nature to feel admiration for a beautiful girl of the same age." It's normal, when he enters the Xuanyang Immortal Sect and sees more women of all kinds, he won't be so easily tempted anymore."

After he finished speaking, he looked at the Taoist couple with an apologetic smile and said with a wry smile: "My husband is usually busy practicing, and I don't discipline this kid enough. You have to keep a close eye on Yinger in this regard. Don't let him really Play with fire!"

"Husband, don't worry, you can still tell who is a concubine from a concubine, and you won't let Cheng'er do everything."

Xiao Ying smiled lightly, and answered with all her mouth.

Because Zhou Yang found some bad signs, Zhou Yang, who originally planned to stay in Suyunzong for a month or two, shortened the time greatly in the end, and returned to Chongxuan Mountain with his wife and children after only staying for half a month.

After all, Zhou Guangcheng was only a 12-year-old boy, and he was not yet young enough to start a relationship. Although he was somewhat dissatisfied with his parents' actions, he didn't react too violently.

At this time, his quiet and gentle temperament became Zhou Yang's reassurance, at least he didn't have to worry about him being too rebellious and doing stupid things.

After returning to Chongxuan Mountain, Zhou Yang still accompanied his wife and children and taught his disciples on a daily basis, and patiently waited for the results of the "conceived device" to come out.

Two years later, before the results of Zhou Yang's "pregnancy" were released, another piece of good news reached his ears.

It turned out that Zhou Ronghua, who followed Zhou Tongxuan to practice at the Zhou family's mountain gate in Daoxuan Kingdom, had successfully opened the Purple Mansion with the help of the [Purple Heart Chalcedony] bestowed by him, and became another Zhou family's cultivator of the Purple Mansion period.

Zhou Ronghua was the first group of descendants of the Zhou family who followed him to practice. Zhou Yang was also sincerely happy for him that he was able to successfully open up the Purple Mansion.

Therefore, when Zhou Ronghua stabilized his cultivation and came to Chongxuan Mountain to meet him, he happily gave him the fourth-order high-grade magic weapon [Thousand Blade Disk] he had used as a gift.

"This [Thousand Blade Disk] magic weapon has been with me since my ancestor opened up the Zifu. It has accompanied me through countless dangerous battles and helped me kill many powerful enemies. It is not just a magic weapon. , but also a witness to the rise of the ancestors and the Zhou family over the years."

"Today, Patriarch, I will give it to you for self-defense. I hope you can use it to overcome all obstacles and create a life of your own!"

In the cave mansion, Zhou Yang personally handed the [Thousand Blade Pan], a magic weapon that had been left unused for a long time, into the hands of Zhou Ronghua, and gave him earnest advice as an elder.

Hearing his words, Zhou Ronghua was so excited that he knelt down on the ground holding the treasure in his hand and kowtowed: "Thank you ancestor for giving you the treasure. The younger generation must treat this thing kindly and remember the teachings of our ancestors."

However, Zhou Yang waved his hand and said, "Don't be too busy thanking me, I have a task for you, Patriarch, I wonder if you are willing to do it?"

When Zhou Ronghua heard the words, he immediately responded: "My ancestor, please do what you have to do. It is the blessing of the younger generation to share your worries for the ancestor."

His attitude made Zhou Yang very happy, and he couldn't help laughing: "This matter is not a big deal, since you have successfully opened up the Purple Mansion and your lifespan has increased greatly, Patriarch, I want you to be with Tong Xuan in a few years Go back to the world of cultivating immortals in the boundless sand sea, and change the Zifu monks who stayed behind from the family to come here to practice, so as to deepen the exchanges and ties between the tribes of the two places."

When Zhou Ronghua heard that it was just this kind of thing, a trace of relief appeared on his face, and he immediately responded: "How difficult is this matter, this junior is willing to go."

Everything is going well.

A year later, after three years of "pregnancy", Zhou Yang's refined magic weapon was finally released.

The appearance of this magic weapon is a feather fan, and the material comes from the wing feathers and wing bones of the fifth-level middle-grade monster [Blue Faced Owl]. It is a rare fifth-level low-level wind attribute magic weapon.

After personal testing, Zhou Yang confirmed that the power of this magic weapon has reached the level of a fifth-order magic weapon, which means that he can now officially announce that he is a fifth-level weapon refining master.

Zhou Yang spent a total of thirty-nine copies of fifth-level materials and failed thirty-eight times before he was promoted from a fourth-level high-grade craftsman to a fifth-level craftsman.

If these materials were converted into spirit stones, they would be worth four to five million low-grade spirit stones. This shows how much it takes to train a fifth-level master craftsman.

Therefore, in the world of cultivating immortals, generally only those sects with Nascent Soul stage monks can cultivate this kind of master craftsmen.

For the rest, even if it is a mid-level sect like Suyun Sect, which has many monks at the Jindan stage, if it wants to cultivate a fifth-level weapon refining master or alchemy master, it will have to use the strength of the whole sect to have a chance to do so.

At this time, Zhou Guangcheng was already fifteen years old, and less than a year had passed since his agreement with Master Qingyang. Zhou Yang completely left everything behind, took his wife and children in disguise as casual cultivators, and traveled around the city of Xiuxianjie and Ordinary City let his son broaden his knowledge, while rushing towards Xuanyang Xianzong.

Zhou Guangcheng didn't know that he was going to be separated from his parents for a long time, so he was very happy that Zhou Yang was willing to take him to the world of cultivating immortals, and he quickly forgot all the complaints he had made about his father.

This year was the happiest and most satisfying year he had ever lived since he was sensible.

After they entered the territory of Daoxuan Kingdom and visited the bustling Xianyang City, it was finally time for a showdown.

"Son, have you had a good time this year?"

In the ordinary immortal inn where he lived, Zhou Yang called Zhou Guangcheng to his room alone. He looked at his son who was about the same height as himself, with a dazed expression on his face.

Sixteen years really passed by in the blink of an eye for a cultivator at the Golden Core stage. The boy in front of him, under the witness of his father, has gradually grown from a baby to an adult.

But now, the time for father and son to part is coming as scheduled.

As a father, he felt quite reluctant at this moment,

"Happy, Dad, if you don't often retreat for so long in the future, we can go down the mountain for a while, the outside world is much more interesting than the mountain, much more fun."

Zhou Guangcheng didn't seem to have noticed that his father's tone was abnormal, or he was still immersed in the excitement of playing around and hadn't come out yet. He smiled and answered his father's question reflexively.

"You just have to be happy."

Zhou Yang nodded slightly, then suddenly stretched out his hands to hold his son's shoulders, looked deeply into his eyes and said, "Listen, son, this may be difficult for you to accept for a while, but you must accept it."

"Sixteen years ago, when you were just born, your father and your mother agreed to the senior Qingyang Master of the Xuanyang Immortal Sect to let you enter the Xuanyang Immortal Sect to worship him as a teacher, but you were still young at that time. Neither father nor your mother could bear that you were separated from your parents since childhood, so they begged Master Qingyang to let you grow up by our side."

"Now that you are an adult, it's time to leave your parents' side and start your own life."

"You have to know that when my father was about your age, he had been separated from your grandparents for many years, and he accepted the family task alone and went out to practice sitting in the mine to slay demons."

Zhou Guangcheng's eyes widened immediately, full of shock and fear.

He looked at Zhou Yang in panic, and wanted to reach out to grab the corner of Zhou Yang's clothes, but Zhou Yang firmly grasped his shoulders, and he couldn't swing his arms at all.

After doing futile work for a while, he shouted in a flustered face: "Father, what are you talking about, how can the child worship others as a teacher? You..."

But before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Zhou Yang's stern voice: "Okay, Chenger, what my father said just now is true, you are already an adult, don't act like a child again, for my father dislike!"

"But I..."

He opened his mouth, wanting to say that he wasn't ready at all.

But Zhou Yang immediately blocked his words: "You don't need to prepare anything, just enter Xuanyang Xianzong honestly, just obey your master's words."

After finishing speaking, he let go of his son's shoulders, hugged him, patted his son's shoulder lightly to express his comfort, and comforted him softly: "Son, you don't know that you are not a top-grade spiritual root cultivator. , but a spiritual body cultivator with [Xuanyang Spiritual Body], will definitely become a big shot in the world of cultivating immortals in the future!"

"Entering the Xuanyang Immortal Sect to practice and learn from Master Qingyang, this is an opportunity that many people can't ask for. If you don't have the [Xuanyang Spiritual Body], you can't help you do this even if you think of your father's face. point."

"If you can become a Nascent Soul cultivator in the future, your father, your mother, your brothers and sisters on Chongxuan Mountain, and the entire Zhou family's cultivators will all be proud of you and proud of you."

"Be obedient, and follow Master Qingyang to practice well. From now on, as long as your father and mother have time, they will come to Xuanyang Xianzong to see you. You are only separated from us for a while. Lots of time to reunite!"

I turned out to be a rare spirit monk!

This news surprised Zhou Guangcheng again. He always thought that he had a high-grade spiritual root aptitude, and Zhou Yang had told him so before.

And in order to facilitate his practice in Xuanyang Xianzong in the future, Zhou Yang also deliberately told him many things about Xuanyang Xianzong in these years, including the importance of [Xuanyang Spiritual Body] to Xuanyang Xianzong, and the How did Lu Xuanji, a ninth-level "half-step true immortal" monk with such a spiritual body, rely on his powerful cultivation base to overwhelm the immortals, and traverse the world of immortal cultivation for three thousand years.

At this time, he thought of Zhou Yang's previous teachings to him, and with the thoughtful and consoling words just now, the panic on his face gradually calmed down.

"Father, you have been trying so hard to hide from your children all these years!"

He looked up at his father's gentle and loving face, and sighed, not without complaints in his words.

Zhou Yang just smiled kindly and said, "As a father, I just don't want you to bear the pressure too early, I just want you to grow up happily and carefree."

Hearing this, Zhou Guangcheng couldn't help but smiled wryly and said: "So this year's traveling life is father, you and mother's compensation for the child?"

Zhou Yang didn't deny it, but just maintained a smile and said, "You can think so, anyway, you really had a good time, didn't you?"

"But the baby is not happy at all right now." Zhou Guangcheng twitched his nose, wanting to cry.

Seeing this, Zhou Yang smiled and reached out to touch his head and taught, "Silly boy, no one in this world can be happy all the time. Even a child will cry when he loses his beloved toy. You have grown up." Now, you should learn to accept this unhappy life, and try to find something to make yourself happy!"

"Boy, I don't really understand what you mean." Zhou Guangcheng looked at him with confused eyes, and his voice was also very confused.

"It doesn't matter if you don't understand now, you will understand when you find something that makes you happy in the new living environment!"

Zhou Yang nodded without changing his smile, and his words were full of deep meaning.

"Is that so?"

The light in Zhou Guangcheng's eyes flashed, and then quickly dimmed again, because he still hasn't recovered from the disappointment of leaving his parents.

After all, he is the protagonist's son, so the plot of the first chapter should not be too much. Now that his wife, children and family have been relied on, the adventure of the protagonist will begin in the next chapter. Finally, I would like to thank the book friend "Do I still have a chance" for rewarding 20,000 starting coins and being promoted to become the number one fan of this book. Thank you very much.
