Cultivation Begins From The Desert

Under normal circumstances, the price of a fourth-tier low-grade spirit talisman is between five thousand and seven thousand spirit stones.

But now that he has something to ask for from others, Zhou Yang is not unacceptable to Jiang Yuyan for giving him half of his merit points in exchange.

He spent 32,000 Huang Shamen Merit Points in exchange for three fourth-tier low-grade spirit talismans from Jiang Yuyan, two of which were defensive talismans, and one was an auxiliary talisman for trapping enemies.

In this way, plus the merit points spent in exchanging the "Netherworld Blood Contract" before, the 90,000 merit points that Cao Wenjin gave him are now only 58,000 points left.

After changing the things he wanted, Zhou Yang didn't stay in Huangshamen for too long, and even returned to the family on the Gripen.

"Xiao Jiu, you came back just in time. I have studied the sand camel cart you made a few days ago, and found that your idea is good, but it is not used in the right place."

"The camel cart skateboard you are making now is too heavy. Even if it is pulled by two Sha Tuo beasts, it will take at least ten days of rest to recover after a trip."

"That doesn't work. We should use refining methods to reduce the weight of the skateboard. It is best to reduce it to the point where a Shatuo beast can pull a car, so that the population can be migrated quickly and effectively."

On Yuquan Peak, as soon as Zhou Yang came back from Huangshamen, the old patriarch Zhou Minghan pulled him to talk about the "sandy camel cart".

The matter of relocating mortals is an imminent matter for the Zhou family, and Zhou Minghan is also very concerned about it.

When Zhou Yang heard him say this, he also said with a look of surprise: "To be honest, great-grandfather, my grandson also had this idea, but my grandson has limited knowledge and has never found a feasible method. Now you talk about it. This, is there any idea?"

"The old man has probably thought of two methods at the moment. One is to start with the materials. When the old man traveled to the world of cultivating immortals, he knew that there was a family in the Pegasus Oasis that produced a second-level wind attribute spiritual gold [wind copper]. The hardness of this metal is worse than fine iron, but it is as light as willow wood, with excellent elasticity and toughness, we can buy a batch of this material to be the main material of skateboards.”

"The second is to start from the refining process. We can use wind copper as the main material, and place [Light Spirit] restraints on the skateboard to further reduce the weight of the car body."

Zhou Minghan slowly expressed his idea, then looked at Zhou Yang and said: "Your father is going to attack the third-rank alchemist recently, so the purchase of Fengtong can only be done by the old man himself, and the family will hand over the matter." Here you go."

"Grandson understands."

Zhou Yang nodded, but he didn't argue about such a trivial matter. He just took out two of the three fourth-order talismans he had exchanged and handed them to the old patriarch Zhou Minghan.

Zhou Minghan is at the ninth level of foundation building. Only by using the fourth-order talisman can the power of the talisman be maximized, and at the same time retain mana to continue fighting.

Like him, if he wanted to maximize the power of the fourth-order low-grade spirit talisman, he had to inject half of his mana into it, so he would be very passive in a battle.

After Zhou Minghan left his family and went to the Pegasus Oasis to buy wind copper, Zhou Yang temporarily lived in his cave to practice.

Several months later, Zhou Minghan, who went out to buy wind copper, hadn't come back yet, but Zhou Xuanhao, who had retreated and attacked the third-tier alchemist, received good news.

"How is it? Ying'er, what do you think of this batch of [Yangyuan Pill] refined for your father? The appearance has reached the normal third-order level?"

On Yuquan Peak, Zhou Xuanhao, Zhou Yang and his son looked at Xiao Ying with nervous expressions, while Xiao Ying stretched out two slender jade fingers to hold a pale white panacea to her nose and sniffed lightly.

Xiao Ying was originally cultivating hybrid food crops in the farmland at the foot of the mountain. After leaving the customs, Zhou Xuanhao hurriedly called her to the mountain to help identify the third-order panacea he had refined.

Originally, he and Zhou Yang could do this kind of judging whether the refined elixir had reached the third level.

But after he completed the alchemy this time, the number of pills he produced was only two, and the color of the pills was also a bit wrong, which made him feel unsure. He had to ask Xiao Ying, a third-level alchemist, to come over and confirm for him. .

"It should be no problem. The number of pills produced is small. This is very common among newly promoted third-level alchemists. The daughter-in-law was also like this at the beginning. As for the color of the pills, it may be that when you were refining alchemy, the heat was a little too high. The reason why the liquid has dried up a little.”

Xiao Ying put down the elixir between her fingers, smiled slightly, and said her judgment aloud with a smile.

And as soon as she finished speaking, before Zhou Xuanhao could speak, Zhou Yang looked at him and said, "Look, Dad, I'm sure it's all right? Now that Ying'er has said that, you can always rest assured Come on!"

"No, I still have to verify it!"

There was a flash of determination in Zhou Xuanhao's eyes, and he suddenly reached out and snatched the elixir from Xiao Ying's hand, and took it directly in one gulp.

"Father, you... aren't you fooling around!"

Looking at this scene, Zhou Yang was almost furious.

How can this pill be taken indiscriminately?

If this panacea is really unqualified, wouldn't it be harming myself?

"Zhou Lang doesn't need to be impatient. The elixir for refining [Yangyuan Pill] is mild in nature. Even if something goes wrong with the refined elixir, he will have enough time to force the medicine out of his body."

Xiao Ying gently stretched out her hand to hold the Taoist companion's hand, and spoke calmly to enlighten her.

Hearing this, Zhou Yang was a little relieved.

And Zhou Xuanhao also opened his eyes about a quarter of an hour after taking the elixir, his eyes were full of joy and he shouted repeatedly: "That's right, the effect of the medicine is similar to that of the [Yangyuan Pill] I took before. It is a real third-order panacea!"

After speaking, he looked at Zhou Yang with a smile on his face and said, "Yang Er, you should be busy first, and go back to refine the medicine for father."

"My father is really worrying!"

Looking at the back of Zhou Xuanhao who hurried back to the cave, Zhou Yang smiled wryly.

Then he looked at the Taoist companion beside him and asked, "Ying'er, how is your cultivation of hybrid crops going? Is there any good news?"

"There hasn't been much progress yet. Zhou Lang, are you sure that the cross-breeding of two crops of different varieties can really breed crops with higher yields?"

There was a flash of doubt in Xiao Ying's beautiful eyes, but she finally took advantage of Zhou Yang's questioning opportunity to ask her doubts that she was too embarrassed to say these days.

She carried out many experiments according to the idea provided by Zhou Yang, and the result was that the cultivated crops were either hard to eat, or the yield was many times lower than the original yield, which made her unable to bear Zhou Yang's hybrid crop breeding plan in her heart. I felt skeptical, wondering whether it could really be done.

However, after Zhou Yang heard her question, he said confidently: "My way of thinking is definitely not a problem, Yinger, you don't need to rush, just take your time, we cultivators have plenty of time to do this! "

Hearing his confident words, the suspicion in Xiao Ying's eyes disappeared immediately, she couldn't help but nodded vigorously and said, "Well, I trust Zhou Lang."

It must be difficult to develop a high-yielding crop from a hybrid variety from scratch.

But Zhou Yang believes that with the various means mastered by immortal cultivators, as long as they follow this direction, they will definitely be able to succeed.

Not to mention anything else, just in terms of accelerating the growth of ordinary crops, even all the methods in his previous life are not as effective as the second-level Ling Zhifu's "spring wind and rain".

It doesn't matter if Xiao Ying didn't succeed in dozens or hundreds of experiments. After she tried hundreds or thousands of times, Zhou Yang believed that there would be good news.

Half a month later, Zhou Minghan, the old patriarch who went out to buy wind copper, finally returned to the family.

Seeing this, Zhou Yang immediately put down all his work and worked with Zhou Minghan to study the modification of the "sand camel cart".

As Zhou Minghan said, the two skateboards of the "Sand Camel Cart" are long and wide, and there is enough space for them to set up "lightness" restraints.

After more than a dozen trials, the two successfully placed restrictions on a skateboard.

But don't think that if you create your own magic weapon successfully, if it is so simple, then any craftsman can do it.

They were able to add a "lightness" restriction to the skateboard. In fact, they used the skateboard as a large flying sword to refine it. It was just a way of changing the soup without changing the medicine.

But in any case, after adding the "lightness" ban to the skateboard, their original intention was achieved.

Two skateboards made of wind copper and refined iron, after adding the "light spirit" restriction, the total weight of the entire "sand camel cart" plummeted to less than two thousand catties.

However, this is still not enough to meet the requirements of one Sha Tuo beast pulling a car, so Zhou Yang cut down the number of passengers in the "Sand Camel Cart" by 20 people, and turned it into a car that can pull 60 people.

In this way, with the planned output of forty "sand camel carts", it can carry 2,400 people in one trip, and it will not make the Shatuo beast too tired, and the speed will be one-third faster than before.

Both Zhou Yang and Zhou Minghan heaved a sigh of relief after this major matter was resolved.

"Okay, now that the means of transportation for the migratory population has been prepared, we can start developing that new oasis after we have participated in the [Foundation Establishment Conference]!"

After Zhou Yang tested the performance of the newly manufactured "Sand Camel Cart", he said the next plan with a smile on his face.

Hearing his words, Zhou Minghan frowned slightly, then pondered for a while, then nodded and said: "The development of the new oasis really needs to be completed as soon as possible, but before that, we have to refine the third-order puppet beast as soon as possible." Just come out."

"Great-grandfather is right, but to refine the third-order puppet beast, I'm afraid you have to do it yourself. I'm afraid my grandson will only be able to help you this time!"

Zhou Yang thought of the fact that his own weapon refining technique was stuck at the third-level low-level, and said so with a depressed face.

With his refining technique, the probability of success in refining third-order puppets is too low, and the refining materials that the Zhou family has collected over the years are not many. Refined out.

Seeing this, Zhou Minghan couldn't help laughing and explained: "Hehe, Xiao Jiu, don't be discouraged, you are still young, and it doesn't matter if you break through in refining art a few years later. This experience is also a good thing for you to independently refine third-order puppet beasts in the future."
