Cultivation Begins From The Desert

Zhou Yang didn't know that he had become the psychological shadow of his peers.

In Zhou Bao's performance, in his eyes, he only thought that the other party was because of his introverted personality, and he didn't pay too much attention to it.

In the end, he and Zhou Bao didn't have much friendship, and taking care of each other in the future was also for the sake of the third grandfather Zhou Quan, and the two of them were destined to not have much contact with each other.

So he just said a few polite words politely, and didn't say anything more.

In fact, among the "Yuan" family members of the Zhou family, Zhou Yang is also an outlier.

Because of the memory of his previous life, he was precocious since he was a child, and he didn't like to play with those of his peers. Instead, he liked to hide in a secluded place and practice quietly, often sitting for a day.

He was able to reach his current level of cultivation at such a young age. In addition to his good spiritual root aptitude, he also contributed a lot to this aspect.

Children are playful and active, how can they be calm and meditate at such a young age? It is not people like Zhou Yang who have memories of past lives, and only those who are indifferent by nature and do not know what fun is, can maintain a high level in childhood. Strength practice.

And this kind of maverick behavior naturally made the relationship between Zhou Yang and the people of the same generation become very weak, and he was even excluded and isolated by those people of the same generation.

By the time those people of the same generation grew up and understood the truth and apologized to him, this sense of alienation had formed. Even if he didn't care, those people of the same generation would be ashamed and unwilling to stay in front of him. , the relationship will not get much improvement.

This situation will only become more and more serious as his cultivation base gets higher and higher, and his fame gets bigger and bigger.

So much so that until now, his peers can only look up at him, a genius brother (brother) who has surpassed them in cultivation and left them far away, completely losing the courage to talk with him on an equal footing.

In any case, the arrival of Zhou Bao, the clan brother, did help Zhou Yang a little.

Although this brother's cultivation is not very good, he is also a four-level qi cultivator. With him, Zhou Yang can rest assured to hand over more than ten acres of spiritual fields in Qingping Mountain and some chores in the mine to him. The other party took care of it, and An Xin and old man Zhou Quan went to the mine to wait for the [gold-eating rat] monster to arrive.

At this time, the cruelty of the world of cultivating immortals is revealed.

Even though he knew that the coming of the [Gold-Eating Rat] would definitely cause the death of the miners in the mine, under the insistence of the old man Zhou Quan, Zhou Yang's proposal to let the miners temporarily suspend work and withdraw from the mine was directly rejected by the old man. Ruthlessly rejected.

The old man not only ruthlessly rejected his proposal, but also taught him an educational lesson sternly.

"Xiao Jiu, you must remember that my generation of monks is the most jealous and soft-hearted. Whether it is these mediocre mortal miners today, or family monks like this old man, as long as we abandon us, we can exchange for the strength of the family and allow the family to continue to pass on. Go down, then you should abandon us without hesitation!"

"A gecko can be reborn with a severed tail. As long as the family can pass it on, our severed tails will grow back in the next generation sooner or later!"

"You are the hope of our Zhou family. If you can succeed in building the foundation in the future, the position of the patriarch of the Zhou family will be passed on to you. If you are soft-hearted and cause disasters, it will not only be you, but the entire family. Zhou family!"

The old man who usually has a kind and kind face, when he said these words, his expression was indescribably cold, and he was a completely different person.

Zhou Yang knew that at this moment, the other party was no longer talking to him as a kind elder, but telling him as the elder of the family.

As a child of the Cultivation Clan, you must put the family's interests first in everything, and you must not cause huge losses to the family because of your personal soft-heartedness.

To be honest, he doesn't fully agree with this theory that family interests are paramount, but he also knows that this is the normal way of life of all cultivating families in this world.

Moreover, although the old man Zhou Quan's approach seemed cruel and unreasonable, it was actually the best choice to quickly achieve his goal.

Monster beasts are not wild beasts, wild beasts can only act on instinct, and monster beasts not only have the power of monster energy, but also have spiritual intelligence. The spiritual intelligence of second-order monster beasts is not low, and they know how to do simple thinking.

If they ordered the miners in the mine to evacuate and seal the mine, the [Gold-eating Rat] monster would definitely realize that something was wrong when it came over and would never reappear.

Therefore, in order to lure this monster out, the miners must be used as bait, and someone must sacrifice for it!

So Zhou Yang didn't say anything more in the end, he could only acquiesce to Zhou Quan's actions.

The miners must not be allowed to know about using miners as bait, so after making the decision, Zhou Yang and the two of them used the breath-holding technique to restrain their breath, quietly hid in an uninhabited branch road in the mine, and waited. up.

Waiting is tormenting, because no one knows when the [Golden Rat] will come, Zhou Yang and old man Zhou Quan dare not make any movement, let alone practice.

For this squat to go smoothly, the old man Zhou Quan even prepared two bottles of second-order panacea [Bigu Dan] in advance, and the monks in the Qi training period took one pill, which can maintain the body for 7 days without eating.

This obedience lasted for more than ten days.

One afternoon fifteen days later, when Zhou Yang was too bored, he took out the refining classics given by the old patriarch to study the refining technique. In the mine that was originally full of miners knocking and digging, suddenly there was a sound of The terrified exclamations of the miners were heard.

"Ah! There are monsters, monsters have killed people!"

"Run, hurry up and ask Master Immortal Master to eliminate the demon!"

The miners exclaimed, crying for their parents and throwing away the mining hoes and other tools in their hands, only hating their parents for losing two legs and running desperately towards the outside of the mine.

But no one discovered that the "Master Immortal" they were talking about had already appeared in the mine.

Since Zhou Yang and Zhou Quan heard the exclamation of the miners, they immediately withdrew their breath restraint techniques and took action.

Instead of squeezing the narrow mine tunnel with the miners, they directly used the "earth escape technique" to bypass the miners and go straight to the scene of the incident.

Not long after, the two arrived at the crime scene of [Gold-eating Rat], and saw this ferocious monster again.

"Using the blood as a guide, the blood spirit manifests itself, follow!"

As soon as he saw the figure of the [Gold-eating Rat], the old man Zhou Quan bit the tip of his tongue and opened his mouth to spray, and directly spewed out a mouthful of blood to cast the "Blood Spirit Mark" spell.

There was a flash of blood, and before the [Gold-eating Rat] could react, a bloody mark suddenly appeared on his body.

Zhou Quan cast the "Blood Spirit Mark" spell with the ninth level of Qi training, this mark can last at least one day on [Gold-eating Rat], and as long as the mark exists for a moment, as long as the distance between the two parties does not exceed a thousand miles, Zhou Quan The old man can find the location of the [Gold-Eating Rat] at any time through the induction in the dark.

And [Golden Rat] obviously doesn't know what this seemingly inconspicuous mark of blood light represents.

When it was covered in blood, it was really taken aback, thinking that the human being who had severely injured itself last time had cast some kind of magic on itself.

When it found that the bloody mark had not hurt itself at all, it relaxed its hair, and a humanized sarcasm flashed in its scarlet mouse eyes, and it grinned at Zhou Yang and the two of them.

Squeak!

There was a sharp mouse cry from its mouth, and the figure slipped into the ground in an instant, and disappeared from the sight of Zhou Yang and the two of them.

"What a cunning bastard, you've learned to be smart, but you're too young to play tricks in front of this old man!"

Just as Zhou Yang was preparing to sacrifice the [Silver Gang Shield] magic weapon, and was concentrating on guarding against the [Gold-eating Rat] surprise attack, the old man Zhou Quan seemed to have sensed something, and revealed the whereabouts of the beast with a low voice.

It turned out that [Gold-eating Rat] had already grown fearful of the old man's "pointing to the ground into steel" spell after suffering a loss last time. He didn't even think about confronting the two of them head-to-head, but played "striking east and west" trick.

It seemed to hide its body and prepare to attack the two, but in fact it quietly fled to the exit of the mine, chasing and killing the escaped miners.

"Let's go, let's go to the mine exit." The old man shouted, moved his body, put away his golden melon sledgehammer and rushed towards the mine exit.

Zhou Yang, who was belatedly aware of this, quickly followed after him.

At the exit of the mine, the miners who had just narrowly escaped from death had no time to rejoice when they saw a black mouse the size of a wolf dog break out of the ground, and bit the nearest few people with its mouth open.

"Run!"

The sudden shock frightened many miners, and then someone yelled, and everyone ran wildly in all directions like frightened sparrows.

It's just how these two-legged mortals can run faster than four-legged monsters.

I saw a huge black shadow rushing left and right on the ground, and the fleeing miners fell down screaming like wheat. In just a dozen breaths, dozens of miners fell down. nearly half.

If it goes on like this, in less than a minute at most, these dozens of miners will all die under the claws of the [gold-eating rat].

Fortunately, this situation did not arise.

When [Gold-Eating Rat] leaped onto the ground and started killing, Zhou Yang and old man Zhou Quan, who realized something was wrong, finally rushed to the ground.

Pointing to the ground into steel!

Pointing to the ground into steel!

The two looked at the black shadow chasing the miners all over the ground, and at the same time, they used the "pointing the ground into steel" spell to seal off the ground.

The difference is that old man Zhou Quan released the spells he had learned, while Zhou Yang used the second-level talisman that old man Zhou Quan gave him.

This second-level magic talisman that seals the spell of "pointing the ground into steel" was drawn by Zhou Dan, the third elder of the Zhou family's "Guang" generation, and a second-level top-grade talisman maker. I specially asked this fifth brother for it.

At this time, the two "pointing the ground into steel" spells were used together, instantly turning the soil and stone within hundreds of square meters around [Gold-Eating Rat] into fine steel, making its ability to escape from the ground useless.

Before it could react from this shocking change, old man Zhou Quan's golden melon sledgehammer smashed into its head through the air.

"Red Flame Sword, go!"

Zhou Yang let out a low shout, and didn't look at it, and decisively sacrificed the second-order middle-grade flying sword "Red Flame Sword" that his father gave him on his fifteenth birthday.

There was a flash of fire, and the "Red Flame Sword" that Zhou Yang sacrificed was the first to strike at the [Gold-Eating Rat] who was trying to escape.

However, just like the old man Zhou Quan said at the beginning, the [Gold-Eating Rat]'s fur is tough, and it cannot be broken without a second-level top-grade magic weapon.

The second-tier middle-grade "Red Flame Sword" slashed at it, but only slightly chopped off a strand of mouse hair, leaving a light white mark on its body, which could not hurt its real body at all.

But Zhou Yang didn't feel depressed because of this, because his sword was only intended to contain the [Golden Rat] and create opportunities for old man Zhou Quan's golden melon sledgehammer.

Sure enough, being blocked by his sword, [Gold-Eating Rat] inevitably sluggishly stagnated for a moment, and it was this moment that the pumpkin sledgehammer that was chasing up from behind hit it heavily on its back.

squeak--

With a heavy hammer on his body, [Gold-eating Rat] suddenly let out a scream and fell to the ground, spurting blood wildly, including some bloody internal organs.

The word "regret" in old man Zhou Quan's "Regret Hammer" is not for nothing. Once hit by this magic weapon, it will activate the magical power of "regret" in the magic weapon, forming a wave The powerful concussion force causes secondary damage to the enemy.

【Gold-Eating Rat】Because it grows by devouring metal, its fur and bones are very tough and hard, and it is difficult to hurt it with ordinary magic tools.

But no matter how strong its body's defenses are, its internal organs cannot be as hard as metal. "Unfortunately" when the shock force inspired by the supernatural power fell on it, it instantly caused great damage to its internal organs, forming a serious internal injuries.

This is the second time it has fallen under the same trick.

"Excellent, the third grandpa is really strong and strong with age, and Jiang is still hot with age!"

Zhou Yang retracted the flying sword, and praised the old man with admiration on his face.

Of course, he is not completely flattering. The strength of the old man is indeed much stronger than him. After all, even if you don’t care about the difference in magical weapons, the difference in cultivation between the two is a full three levels. One is the sixth level in the middle stage of Qi training , and one is the ninth level in the late stage of Qi training.

And being able to get such praise from him, the number one member of the younger generation of the Zhou family, even though he knew that his words were exaggerated, the old man Zhou Quan couldn't help being proud, stroked his beard and said with a smile:

"Hehehe, Xiaojiu, you have won the prize. The old man is just relying on his age to make you older. After another ten or eight years, Xiaojiu's cultivation level will be improved, and then you will deal with these evil animals. It must be within reach."

"Then I will borrow a good word from the third grandpa. My nephew will definitely work hard to cultivate with the goal of the third grandpa."

With a slight smile on Zhou Yang's face, he also unceremoniously accepted the old man's praise.

The two of them are flattering each other here, and no one cares about the seriously injured 【Gold-Eating Rat】.

It wasn't until [Gold-eating Rat] vomited blood all the way and ran out of the range of the "pointing to the ground into steel" spell with its seriously injured body, and disappeared into the ground, the two people looked at each other and smiled, like a fox who stole a chicken, with a smile on his face. There are flowers.
