Cultivation Begins From The Desert

The sky was sunny and cloudless.

On this day, Yuquan Peak, where Yuquan Zhou's family is located, ushered in the most lively day in more than two hundred years.

The foundation building ceremony and promotion ceremony of Zhou Yang, the contemporary patriarch of the Zhou family, and his promotion to the third-tier refiner officially started today.

According to the celebration ceremony, first of all, the guests from all sides offer gifts.

There are also rules for offering gifts. Only those who have received invitations are eligible to offer gifts. Those who came to eat and drink after hearing the news, or those who did not receive invitations because they did not have a deep relationship with the Zhou family, are If there is no need to offer a gift, even if a gift is offered, no one will sing it.

As the most important guests of this celebration, the Chen family was naturally the first to come up to offer gifts.

The person who represented the Chen family to participate in this celebration was also a newly promoted foundation-builder monk of the Chen family. This person was of the same generation as Chen Fangping. His name was Chen Fangli, and he was about 20 or 30 years older than Zhou Yang.

"A congratulatory gift from the Chen family of Baituoling, a middle-grade third-grade panacea [Sanyang Breaking Barrier Pill]."

The Chen family deserved to be the Chen family. When Chen Fangli handed over the congratulatory gift to Zhou Xuanbin who was the master of ceremonies on behalf of the Chen family, Zhou Xuanbin, who sang the song, was also shocked by the gift, and his voice trembled a little.

Today's protagonist, Zhou Yang, squinted his eyes even more, and couldn't help but exchanged glances with the old patriarch Zhou Minghan, both of whom saw a hint of shock in each other's eyes.

The formula of the "Three Yangs Breaking Barrier Pill" was exchanged by him to the ancestors of the Chen family. Unexpectedly, only a few years have passed, and the ancestors of the Chen family have gathered enough materials to refine the finished pill, and even One of them was given to him as a gift.

"Old Ancestor Chen loves you so much, Mr. Zhou and the Zhou family are very grateful, please invite fellow Taoists of the Chen family to sit down!"

Zhou Yang suppressed the shock in his heart, stood up quickly and bowed his hands to Chen Fangli to thank him, and invited him to sit next to him as the chief.

With jewels like the Chen family in the front, the congratulatory gifts in the back seemed a bit unappealing.

"A congratulatory gift from the Liu family in Chixia Mountain, a 200-year elixir [Di Fuling]."

"The Yang family of Golden Spring Valley presents a congratulatory gift, a piece of the third-order spiritual object [Yan Yu]."

"A congratulatory gift from the Sun Family of Qinglang Mountain, a piece of the third-order spiritual object [Chi Xuan Jin Jing]."

...

Zhou Xuanbin kept singing, and every time a congratulatory gift was presented, he would use the "amplification technique" to sing loudly to announce to the audience.

At this time, the number of immortal cultivators gathered on Yuquan Peak has exceeded 500. Although most of them are casual cultivators who come to eat and drink, there are also many heads of small families and important members of the family. Come to open your eyes and see if you can get some relationship with the Zhou family by the way.

After all, after the decline of the Liu family in Chixia Mountain, the Zhou family is already a big family second only to the Yang family in Jinquan Valley in terms of strength. In the eyes of some high-level monks who know the inside story, the strength and potential of the Zhou family have surpassed left the Yang family.

The congratulatory gifts mentioned by Zhou Xuanbin may not be considered anything in the eyes of the foundation-building monks who have seen a lot of treasures, but in the eyes of those Qi-training monks, they are all "heavy treasures" that can arouse their amazement.

After hearing the exclamation of these people, the monks in the Qi training period of the Zhou family showed proud expressions of pride on their faces.

Cultivators of the Zhou family and the Zhou family both prosper and suffer together. Although Zhou Yang is accepting congratulations from outsiders at this moment, in the hearts of these Zhou family monks, they also have a share of this glory.

that's the truth.

If it weren't for the dedication of those Zhou parents and seniors, Zhou Yang today would probably still be working hard to raise spirit stones to buy Foundation Establishment Pills, how could he stand on the high platform to accept the congratulations of the four monks?

Now seeing the famous foundation-building monks presenting congratulatory gifts to the Zhou family and Zhou Yang on behalf of the family, those young junior members of the Zhou family may just be watching the fun and seeing something strange.

But in the eyes of people like Zhou Xuantai and Zhou Xuanbin, their hard work has been recognized and rewarded. It is conceivable how excited they are at this moment.

Female monks like Lin Yuting, Zhou Xuanyan, Zhou Yuanchun, and Zhou Yuanzhen watched this scene, and couldn't help but burst into tears of excitement and joy.

The Zhou family is really strong. They have witnessed the process of the Zhou family from decline to prosperity, and have contributed their own strength to this. This kind of personal participation, personal experience, and personal enjoyment experience makes them more susceptible to touch.

And in Zhou Minghan's cave at the top of Yuquan Peak, Zhou Xuanyu, who hid here and concealed his aura through formations, was also looking at the lively scene below the mountain with tears streaming down his face at this moment.

She felt sincerely happy for the prosperity of the Zhou family, but also felt extremely uncomfortable that she could not attend such a grand event.

If she hadn't switched to magic arts, she would have stood under the high platform with other brothers and sisters of the same clan to share this glory with Zhou Yang.

She looked at the bustling scene down the mountain with tears streaming down her face, and a look of determination gradually appeared in her eyes.

"Although I cannot share this glory, I can protect it!"

"I, Zhou Xuanyu, was born as a member of the Zhou family and died as a ghost of the Zhou family!"

The celebration still goes on.

There were more than 30 families and individuals who gave gifts to Zhou Yang this time, nearly twice as many as Zhou Xuanhao's foundation establishment ceremony, and the level of gifts was not at the same level.

Of course.

Zhou Xuanhao had just established his foundation at that time, and other families could send people to congratulate him because of the Zhou family's face, so how could he be willing to send a heavy gift.

But Zhou Yang is different, not to mention that Zhou Yang has become well-known among the foundation-building monks in the nearby world of cultivating immortals through various activities over the years.

Just to say that he was promoted to the third-tier refiner along with the foundation-building ceremony this time, it deserves the favor of many cultivating families and casual cultivators.

If Zhou Xuanhao could be promoted to a third-rank alchemist in the future, he would probably be able to enjoy the treatment that Zhou Yang received today.

However, his body is injured now, and he can no longer support him to refine the third-order elixir. When Zhou Yang can find the elixir to cure his injury, he will be able to make further progress in alchemy.

At the end, when Zhou Xuanbin finished singing and was preparing for the next activity, Chen Fangli, a monk from the Chen family who was sitting on top of the head, suddenly stood up and looked at Zhou Yang and said loudly:

"Fellow Daoist Zhou Yang, I have heard for a long time that Fellow Daoist Zhou Yang has supernatural powers. Although he has just established the foundation for more than ten years, he has already killed several monks of the same level, and even a demon cultivator in the middle stage of foundation establishment has also been executed by the fellow Daoist. I wonder if I can do it today. Show off your supernatural powers, let me open my eyes too?"

Um?

Zhou Yang frowned, his face darkened, and he looked at Chen Fangli with a somewhat cold gaze.

If you say such things in public at this time, is this guy here to congratulate, or to cause trouble?

Not only Zhou Yang, but Zhou Minghan, Zhou Xuanhao and other monks of the Zhou family also looked at Chen Fangli with unhappy expressions at the moment, and were extremely disgusted by this person's words.

But contrary to Zhou's family, when the irrelevant guests heard Chen Fangli's words, they became energetic one by one, and looked at Zhou Yang on the stage with piercing eyes, wanting to see how he would deal with this matter.

Originally, at the foundation establishment ceremony, it was a very normal thing for the newly promoted foundation establishment monks to display some methods that only foundation establishment monks could use, and it could also be said to be a tradition.

Although those methods may appear to be very common and childish in the eyes of other foundation-building stage monks, it is still not a problem to deter and fool those qi-training stage monks who have not seen much of the world.

However, what Chen Fangli said just now was obviously more than simply letting Zhou Yang show off a few hands.

The meaning inside and outside the words reveals a color of suspicion, suspecting that Zhou Yang's record is not worthy of the name, and it is full of provocation, and he almost pointed at Zhou Yang's nose and said "I want to challenge you".

Facing this kind of provocation, how should Zhou Yang respond?

Anyone who knows the situation knows that it is not easy to deal with it.

If Zhou Yang agreed to Chen Fangli's provocation and competed with him in public, even if he won, he would lose face to the Chen family and offend Chen Fangli to death.

If they lose, then today's celebration will be reduced to a joke through the ages.

But if Zhou Yang refused to agree to Chen Fangli's provocation, wouldn't it be tantamount to acquiescing to the "not worthy of the name" in Chen Fangli's words?

Therefore, Zhou Yang was really difficult to deal with Chen Fangli's words. If he didn't deal with it properly, it would be a great blow to the reputation of himself and the Zhou family.

Therefore, after Chen Fangli asked the question, Zhou Yang was silent for hundreds of breaths, and then looked at the other party with a gloomy face and asked: "Daoyou Chen said this, did Chen Laozu ask you to tell him, or did you say it?" My own opinion?"

Hearing his words, Chen Fangli was stunned, and a trace of panic and anger flashed in his eyes.

Of course the Patriarch of the Chen family would not have asked him to repeat such words, otherwise he would not have presented a treasure such as the "Three Yang Barrier Breaking Pill" as a congratulatory gift.

So these words are of course his own thoughts, the thoughts he came up with envy and jealousy after knowing that Chen Jia's "Sanyang Breaking Barrier Pill" was a congratulatory gift.

You must know that as a child of the Chen family, after he succeeded in establishing the foundation, because of the special environment of the invasion of the evil way, the family only congratulated him a little internally.

At that time, the gift given to him by the ancestor of the Chen family was even just a third-order middle-grade magic talisman, which was completely incomparable with the congratulatory gift given to Zhou Yang today. How could he not be jealous if he didn't know the inside story?

At this time Zhou Yang suddenly revealed the filth in his heart, how could he not panic, how could he not be angry?

After all, he is also a monk with a successful foundation. Although he was flustered and angry in his heart, he could still look at Zhou Yang calmly and replied: "What does Zhou Yang mean by this? Is there something wrong with Chen's words? Netizens think that Chen is not even qualified to ask questions?"

Zhou Yang had been paying attention to the changes in Chen Fangli's expression all the time, and when he heard his somewhat stern reply at this time, he felt certain in his heart, and understood that this matter was all done by Chen Fangli alone, and had nothing to do with the Chen family.

Therefore, his expression immediately eased, and he looked at Chen Fangli with a smile on his face and said, "You Daoist Chen is right, there are too many problems in your words!"

After he finished speaking, he didn't wait for Chen Fangli to ask what was wrong, and he said in a loud voice: "Everyone who came to attend Zhou's celebration is laughing at you. The four words [supernatural powers] are really ashamed!"

"But fortunately, due to a chance meeting, Zhou did follow some seniors when they were doing the work of eliminating demons and defending the way, and killed a few monsters who rebelled against the immortals and demons in the foundation period. Several seniors of Huang Shamen , and Old Ancestor Chen, they are all insiders!"

After saying this, Zhou Yang didn't look at the changes in the expressions of those monks who had heard about this for the first time, but directly looked at Chen Fangli sharply and said, "Does Zhou's answer satisfy Fellow Daoist Chen?"

Gentlemen, the third update is here, hahaha, I’m catching up, it should be done at 2 am at night, maybe there will be another chapter! ! !
