Cultivation Begins From The Desert

After getting the assurance that Zhou Yang agreed to accept the "inquiring mind" to inquire about the mind, the ancestor of the Chen family did not embarrass him anymore, but took him along with Zhou Xuanhao and his son, and continued to go to "Qianji" under his guidance. Cave Heaven" to search for clues.

However, it has been more than a day since Zhou Yang and the others were attacked outside the "Qianjidongtian". Those sand bandits have long since escaped without a trace. Find any useful clues.

In the end, the ancestor of the Chen family, who had nothing to gain, could only take Zhou Yang and his son back to the Baisha River oasis.

When Zhou Yang and his son returned to the Baishahe Oasis with the ancestors of the Chen family, Zhou Minghan, the old patriarch of the Zhou family who set off from the Yuquan Lake Oasis after receiving the Feijian Biography, also rushed here first. , and met Zhang Yunpeng, the elder of Huangshamen who helped sit in the Chen family on White Camel Peak.

On the white hump, when the returning ancestor of the Chen family saw Zhang Yunpeng and Zhou Minghan together, he was stunned for a moment, then nodded, looked at the two with a serious face, and said, "It's just Daoyou Zhang and Minghan boy, you two. They are all here, and today you are here to be a witness, to witness that this old man used the [Inquiring Mind Technique] on Zhou Yang, the younger generation of the Zhou family, to interrogate the murder of Chen Pingzhi, a cultivator of the Chen family."

"What? Do you want to perform an inquisition?"

Zhou Minghan's expression changed, and he looked at Zhou Yang and his son with worry.

He just came to the Baishahe Oasis, but he just knew that Chen Pingzhi had fallen, but he didn't know anything about the specific situation.

Now that he heard that the ancestor of the Chen family was going to use the "inquiring mind technique" to interrogate Zhou Yang, he was preconceived, of course, he thought that Zhou Yang had done something disgraceful in the fall of Chen Pingzhi.

Seeing this, Zhou Yang couldn't help comforting him: "Great-grandfather, don't worry, grandson walks upright, sits upright, and has a clear conscience. If Senior Chen wants to ask, then let him ask!"

After he finished speaking, he turned his eyes to the ancestors of the Chen family and Zhang Yunpeng, the two cultivators of the Purple House, and said with a stern face: "Senior Chen is going to use the [Mind Inquiry Technique] to interrogate the murder of Senior Pingzhi. But if the senior asks the junior about this unrelated matter, no wonder the junior will not cooperate!"

When the old ancestor of the Chen family heard his soft and thorny words, his face sank, and he snorted coldly with displeasure on his face: "Hmph, who do you think this old man is? You can rest assured, except to ask you about the murder of Pingzhi. Apart from this, if the old man asks one more irrelevant question, I will give you a Foundation Establishment Pill from the Zhou family, and Daoyou Zhang can witness this for the old man!"

When Zhang Yunpeng heard the ancestor of the Chen family mentioning himself, he had to stand up at this time, hehe said with a smile: "Hehe, why does Brother Chen care about a junior, you can rest assured, the boy of the Zhou family, Zhang Mou also had a relationship with Yuquan Junior Brother back then. After a while, I will testify for you today, if Brother Chen really asks about your personal privacy, Zhang should immediately remove the spell for you."

"Then this junior will thank Senior Zhang first."

Zhou Yang saluted Zhang Yunpeng, then closed his eyes, and said in a firm voice, "Senior Chen can cast spells."

The ancestor of the Chen family was naturally not polite at this time.

"Ask the Mind" is just a low-level third-level spell, and it can be learned by a foundation-building cultivator.

Once this spell is cast, it can have the effect of inquiring the mind of the monks below the foundation-building stage. Once the monks in the Qi-training stage are hit with the "Inquiry Mind Technique", the caster will answer whatever they ask, and they can't lie at all, and they don't say anything afterward. Will have any memory of this experience.

However, after the cultivators in the foundation-building stage have gone through the "spiritual awareness" of the foundation-building process, their state of mind has been improved, and their spiritual awareness has been enhanced. This "inquiring mind technique" has no effect on them.

But whether a spell is useful or not is not only related to the level of the spell, but also to the cultivation of the caster.

In the Nascent Soul period, the great power casts a second-order spell. Is the power the same as the second-order spell cast by the cultivator during the Qi training period?

With the cultivation base of the Chen family's ancestor in the late period of Zifu, the "inquiring mind technique" was displayed. As long as Zhou Yang did not deliberately resist in advance, it could also take effect on him.

When it was, I saw two beams of white light shot out from the eyes of the ancestors of the Chen family, and directly irradiated Zhou Yang's closed eyes.

Upon being lit by the white light, Zhou Yang's body shook slightly, and his eyes opened automatically.

It's just that at this moment, his eyes are empty, without any focus, like a fool.

"What's your name?"

While maintaining the effect of the "inquiry mind technique", the ancestor of the Chen family started asking questions directly.

When Zhou Yang heard his question, he immediately answered without any hesitation, "Zhou Yang."

"How old are you this year?"

"39 years old."

"What happened after you and Chen Pingzhi entered [Qianjidongtian]?"

"At that time, Senior Chen Pingzhi entered [Qianji Dongtian] first, and was attacked and besieged by two puppet beasts. After asking for Senior Chen's permission, I helped Senior Chen deal with one of the lion beasts, and then the two puppet beasts..."

Under the function of "asking the mind", Zhou Yang is completely ready to answer any questions. He will answer whatever the ancestor of the Chen family asks. He will not say less or miss a word, nor will he say any words that have nothing to do with the question. .

Even what he had intentionally concealed before, this time, he had spoken out in full, even the fact that he wanted to exchange the blood collected from the sand bandits for the foundation pill, and he did not conceal anything.

Naturally, the story about his escape by using the "Blood Escape Technique" was also exposed.

It can be clearly seen that when he said the words "Blood Escape Technique", Zhou Minghan and Zhou Xuanhao, the two Zhou family foundation building cultivators, changed their expressions, and looked at the Chen family ancestor and Zhang Yunpeng with worry. .

After all, "Blood Escape" is a magic way secret art. Zhou Yang and the Zhou family collect and practice this kind of magic way secret art, whether it is big or small, it depends on the sect like Huang Shamen, whether they are willing or not. pursued.

However, they didn't know that when the ancestor of the Chen family and Zhang Yunpeng discovered the serious loss of blood essence in Zhou Yang, they guessed that he must have used this kind of magic escape technique.

After all, as an extremely practical escape technique, there are still many people who practice the "Blood Escape Technique" among the immortal cultivators. Even if they have not practiced this kind of secret technique, they are still very concerned about it. This kind of secret technique has been understood.

Therefore, when I heard Zhou Yang said that he used the "Blood Escape Technique" to escape from life, except for Zhang Yunpeng's brows slightly wrinkled, there was no change in the complexion of the ancestor of the Chen family. Obviously, he had no plans to pursue this matter.

Seeing this, Zhou Minghan and Zhou Xuanhao felt a little relieved, and then they were relieved to continue watching Zhou Yang continue.

Next, the ancestor of the Chen family also kept his promise and did not take the opportunity to inquire about Zhou Yang's personal privacy and secrets, but stopped casting spells after confirming that what he said was the same as what he said in the sand sea before.

As soon as the spell stopped, Zhou Yang's body shook again, his eyes instantly regained focus, and his consciousness recovered.

After he regained consciousness, he blinked in confusion at first, and then immediately remembered what happened before the "questioning technique" in his body. He couldn't help but look at the brooding ancestor of the Chen family and asked loudly, "How? Senior Chen can now Would you like to believe what the younger generation said?"

The ancestor of the Chen family heard him ask this, but he didn't answer and asked: "You said you have blood from the sand bandits in your hands?"

Hearing this, Zhou Yang had to follow his words and replied: "Since Senior Chen asked about this, then this junior will dare to ask Senior, you offer a reward for establishing a foundation pill and offer a reward for the whereabouts of the sand bandits, the junior can be regarded as completed by presenting this thing. mission?"

The ancestor of the Chen family did not expect that he would say this directly like this, and his face immediately looked embarrassed.

But he really said these words himself, and there was even a written bounty list issued in the market. At this time, even if he wanted to default, it was impossible.

At the moment, he could only knock down his teeth and swallow it in his stomach: "If you can really use this thing to find the old lair of the sand bandits, the next time I open the furnace, your Zhou family will be able to get it for free. A reward from the Foundation Establishment Pill!"

His words still left a lot of room, that is, the blood of the sand bandits provided by Zhou Yang must be useful, and the Zhou family will still send monks to participate in the next "Foundation Conference".

In the end, even if a Foundation Establishment Pill is given for free, it will be taken from the Foundation Establishment Pills distributed by each family, not from his share of the Chen Family.

In this way, the Chen family will at most earn one less spiritual stone of the Foundation Establishment Pill next time at the "Foundation Conference".

Yes, the foundation.

The foundation pill, such as the foundation pill, can be used as a foundation in any power.

It's not that Zhou Yang couldn't hear the deep meaning in the words of the ancestor of the Chen family, but he was very satisfied to get this answer.

After all, it is unrealistic to expect the Chen family to take the Foundation Establishment Pill out of his pocket to reward outsiders. Even if it were him, he would not be able to be so generous.

As for whether this decision of the ancestor of the Chen family will harm the interests of other families and make other families hate the Zhou family because of this, it is not in his consideration.

There is also the risk of choking to death when eating. Do people have to stop eating because of choking?

If the Zhou family wants to develop, it will inevitably crowd out the development space of other families. He Zhou Yang earned the foundation pill through formal channels, so why not take it? Why not?

"Senior Chen really is a believer, and the younger generation admires it!"

A smile finally appeared on his pale face, and he quickly took out the jade bottle containing the blood of the sand bandits and handed it to the ancestor of the Chen family.

At the same time, he did not forget to say: "If Senior Chen finds out the whereabouts of the sand bandits, please be sure to inform the juniors to participate. The junior was able to successfully build the foundation, thanks to Senior Chen Pingzhi lending his cave to help, and the sand bandits attacked at the beginning. Oasis, nine cultivators of my Zhou family died because of it, and the younger generation, as the current patriarch of the Zhou family, has to avenge this revenge for them!"

When the old ancestor of the Chen family heard him say this, his expression changed, and he couldn't help but nodded lightly: "You're really interested. If Brother Yuquan knows that there are descendants like you in the Zhou family, Jiuquan will rest in peace!"

After speaking, he suddenly stretched out his hand and patted the storage bag, took out a jade bottle and threw it to Zhou Yang: "Since you have the intention to kill thieves, this bottle of [Jade Essence Pill], which can restore the damaged essence and blood of the foundation-building cultivator, should be regarded as This old husband, on behalf of Pingzhi, gave you an apology for helping him."
