Cultivation Begins From The Desert

Practice has no years, and the cold and heat do not know the years.

In the blink of an eye, Zhou Yang had been stationed at the spiritual vein of "Haoyang Cave" for eight years.

After eight years of painstaking practice, his cultivation has successfully advanced to the eighth level of Qi training, which is only one step away from the ninth level of Qi training.

Eight years is not a long time for an immortal cultivator in the qi training period, but it is also not short.

For Zhou Yang, eight years only allowed him to improve his cultivation base from the seventh level of Qi training to the eighth level of Qi training, but for the entire Zhou family, the changes in these eight years were enormous.

First of all, old man Zhou Quan and old man Zhou Dan who were guarding the spiritual veins of Haoyang Grotto together with Zhou Yang passed away one after another. He suffered internal injuries during the First World War, and died shortly after the war.

Because they practiced in the same spiritual place, Zhou Yang witnessed the lives of the two old people slowly coming to an end.

At that time, he watched the two old men lose their mana overnight, their originally rosy and healthy faces were instantly wrinkled, their white hair and teeth fell out, and his heart was greatly shocked.

He originally thought that as a human being in two lifetimes, he would be more magnanimous in matters of life and death, but when he saw with his own eyes the two powerful old men who had talked and laughed happily with him the day before, and then died overnight, he was terrified!

The mighty power of the immortal cultivator belongs to himself, and the nine-level Qi training monk can easily slaughter an army of tens of thousands of mortals even with empty hands.

But once the longevity is over, it will be no different from ordinary mortals, after all, it will not be able to resist the power called "years".

Without building a foundation, the lifespan limit of an immortal cultivator during the Qi training period is 120 years. If he does not grow up, the Jindan Patriarch who can live for a thousand years will also have a day of sitting down!

longevity!

longevity!

longevity!

It was after witnessing the death of the two elders of the family that Zhou Yang felt an unprecedented longing for the word "longevity".

He wanted to live forever, and he didn't want to be like the two elders of the family one day, who died helplessly in endless unwillingness and regret once his hundred years of cultivation was exhausted.

He knew what the two old men were regretting in the end.

Elder Zhou Quan and Elder Zhou Dan both had the opportunity to launch an impact on the foundation-building stage, but they were all afraid of the extremely high death rate of failure. No one had the courage to take that step and cut off the path to longevity by themselves. the way.

Maybe before sitting down, the two old people would not feel that their original choice was wrong. After all, they lived at least twice as long as the countless monks who died in front of the foundation building barrier at the age of 50 or 60.

But at the moment when they died, the two old men must have regretted it. Their unwilling and regretful eyes at the end told Zhou Yang that they regretted it!

Zhou Yang doesn't want to regret it!

He didn't want to die one day in endless unwillingness and regret like the two old people.

So he made up his mind at that time, as long as he still has the opportunity to improve his cultivation in this life, no matter how difficult or dangerous the road ahead is, he will never give up this opportunity.

It was also this firm belief in going forward that allowed him to go smoothly on the road of cultivation from the seventh level of Qi training to the eighth level of Qi training. It only took less than five years to break through, and then three years later, he reached the level of training. The peak of the eighth level of Qi is only one step away from the ninth level of Qi training.

Of course, Zhou Yang's cultivation base can improve so quickly, apart from his own hard work and the spiritual veins of Haoyang Grotto that are particularly suitable for him, it is also related to the pill that his father Zhou Xuanhao gave him before he left.

Before Zhou Xuanhao left, he specially called Zhou Yang aside and gave him three different second-order top-grade panacea. The effect of taking one of each panacea was equivalent to the effect of half a year of his own meditation practice. , and he took twelve pills in eight years.

Speaking of which, this is the first time that Zhou Yang has taken pills so frequently to improve his cultivation.

Before that, he had always obeyed the instructions of his father and the old patriarch, and never used the power of pills to improve his cultivation until the last moment of breaking through the realm.

Because although the elixir can greatly improve the magic power of the cultivator, it will also leave "erysipelas" in the body of the cultivator. If this "erysipelas" accumulates too much, it will be too late to dissolve after a long time. Immortal cultivators' mana is full of impurities, which will affect their future breakthroughs, and even damage their bodies and reduce their lifespan.

For the immortal cultivators in the qi training period, the "erysipelas" is especially harmful. If they take too much panacea to improve their cultivation before foundation establishment, they will not be able to remove the "erysipelas" in time. For foundation building, the success rate will be much lower.

Therefore, in the world of cultivating immortals, those sects of cultivating immortals or seniors of cultivating immortals with inheritance will explain clearly to the juniors the dangers of "erysipelas" from an early age, and strictly control the distribution of elixirs, so as to prevent people from being unable to bear the temptation of rapid improvement in cultivation base and taking risks .

Only those casual cultivators who got lucky enough to make a fortune without being reminded by their masters would buy a large amount of elixir and take it to improve their cultivation without knowing the danger of "erysipelas", thinking that by doing so, they would be able to catch up with those cultivators in terms of cultivation. A talent for cultivating immortals with better aptitude than himself.

But they don't know that when they take this step, they have completely lost hope of catching up with others.

Zhou Yang had taken very few spirit pills before, and the "erysipelas" in his body had already been refined through years of hard work, so Zhou Xuanhao dared to give him the spirit pills with confidence.

It's a pity that even so, he has accumulated a lot of "erysipelas" due to taking elixirs many times in the past eight years, which led to the appearance of a barrier of cultivation, and it is impossible to break through to the ninth level of Qi training in a short time.

However, according to Zhou Yang's own calculation, this "erysipelas" will not affect his future path. As long as he no longer takes this kind of panacea to improve his cultivation in the next ten or eight years, the remaining elixir in his body These erysipelas in him will naturally be washed away by the aura of heaven and earth after he builds his foundation.

"Eight years have passed, and the [Earth Yuan Spiritual Milk] is about to condense. I don't know what father thinks about it!"

In "Haoyang Grotto", Zhou Yang looked at the creamy yellow stalactite pillar in the stone chamber with complicated eyes, feeling very complicated.

The creamy yellow stalactite pillars are like fine jade, warm and moist like jade exuding a faint brilliance. Zhou Yang, who stays here day and night, can clearly perceive that there is a familiar energy gathering and strengthening inside the stone pillars. He does not know that kind of energy. Unfamiliar, it was the aura of the earth veins that he had absorbed.

According to the records about [Earth Origin Spirit Milk] that he saw in the "Records of Heaven and Earth Treasures" given by his father Zhou Xuanhao these years, once the spiritual energy of the earth veins in the stalactite pillars gathers to a certain point, there will be [Earth Origin Spirit Milk] Milk] overflows from the surface of the stalactite column.

In addition to the effects that the old patriarch said at the beginning, this [Earth Yuan Spiritual Milk] is also a rare spiritual thing that can improve the cultivation level for monsters. The reason why the [Poison Fire Scorpion King] can become a third-order monster , most likely the result of devouring a large amount of [Earth Yuan Spiritual Milk].

Zhou Yang didn't know whether he should persuade his father Zhou Xuanzhen to take [Earth Yuan Spirit Milk] to build a foundation, but now that he has witnessed the death of the two elders of the Zhou family, he hopes that his father can take a chance.

Of course, as a son of man, even if he had this idea in his heart, he would definitely not say it out loud. He could only secretly hope that his father would figure it out.

"I don't know how Second Uncle and the others are doing with their oasis building. Anyway, I can't make a breakthrough in my current cultivation. Next, let's help them build an oasis while practicing weapon refining!"

Letting go of his worries about his father Zhou Xuanhao's foundation-building matter, Zhou Yang's heart moved, but he felt a little calm and wanted to move.

In the past few years, although Zhou Qian, Zhou Quan, and Zhou Dan have passed away successively in the Zhou family, three elders of the "Guang" generation passed away.

However, Zhou Xuantai, Zhou Xuanbin, Zhou Xuanlin, and Zhou Xuanyan, four monks of the "Xuan" generation, successively broke through to the ninth level of Qi training, replacing the three "Guang" generation monks and elders who passed away. Therefore, the number of elders in the Zhou family did not decrease but increased. , reached nine.

And during Zhou Yang's time of retreat, the elders of the Zhou family also found out the reserves of the red flame iron ore vein adjacent to the "Haoyang Cave" spiritual vein. This mineral vein turned out to be a relatively rare large mineral vein!

This discovery made the monks of the Zhou family who knew the inside story overjoyed at the time. If the Zhou family did not lack foundation-building monks who could sit in the spiritual veins of the "Haoyang Cave", the old patriarch would probably organize a large number of people to develop the mine veins.

Even so, after the discussion of the elders of the Zhou family, the family has successively migrated thousands of mortals from the Yuquan Lake Oasis to the "Haoyang Cave" spirit vein, and built a huge earthen city on the ground for these mortals. live.

Of course, the outside world said that these people had moved to the Qingping Mountain Oasis, and the Zhou family wanted to increase the mining of refined iron ore.

With the arrival of these thousands of mortals, the "Haoyang Grotto" spiritual vein finally gained some popularity. Then, with the help of the two new elders, Zhou Xuantai and Zhou Xuanyan, the mortals of the Zhou family and the monks worked together to bring the underground The water from the dark river was diverted to a low-lying desert, artificially creating a desert lake with an area of ​​hundreds of square meters.

After the lake was established, Zhou Xuantai and others began to organize the mortals of the Zhou family to use their shoulders to pick up water, irrigate the sandy land and plant drought-tolerant plants, and then cast the birthing spell to give birth to these ordinary plants.

It is worth mentioning that ordinary plants produced by immortal cultivators using spells cannot survive for a long time, and the fruits and grains produced by plants produced by spells cannot be eaten by mortals.

But these spawned plants can be used to fertilize the land after they dry up and die.

After many years of experimentation, the cultivators of the Boundless Sand Sea have developed a complete oasis construction plan. As long as the geographical environment is suitable, as long as they are willing to invest manpower and material resources, it is not a fantasy to turn a desert into an oasis.

Zhou Yang was very quiet at the moment, and when he left the closed stone room, he went outside and saw that in the empty underground grotto, only his fifth uncle Zhou Xuanbin, who was protecting the Dharma, was sitting in meditation with his eyes closed.

The four Zhou family monks here in "Haoyang Cave", except Zhou Yang, the other three are already at the ninth level of Qi training, and their mana cannot be increased by one point.

Therefore, in order not to disturb Zhou Yang's practice on weekdays, they all practice in the cave outside, and every day they will take turns to assign one person to be the guardian of Zhou Yang's retreat here.

Except for Zhou Yang, there is no one in the Zhou family who receives this kind of treatment.

Zhou Yang also felt heavy pressure because of this. He knew that only by successfully establishing his foundation could he be worthy of the dedication of these family elders.

First of all, I would like to thank the book friends for the reward of 100 starting coins. Then let’s talk about the writing method of this chapter.
