Cultivation Begins From The Desert

The Baisha River oasis is more than 3,200 miles long from east to west, and more than 1,700 miles wide from north to south, with a population of several million. It is a large oasis with great reputation in the boundless sand sea.

This oasis is named after a long river that runs through the north and south of the oasis. The long river originates from Baituoling in the south of the oasis and flows from south to north into Jinshui Lake in the north of the oasis. It is Baisha River.

It is said that thousands of years ago, the area of ​​the Baisha River Oasis was only about half of what it is today. It was the Xiuxian family who later occupied the Baisha River Oasis. After more than a thousand years of uninterrupted investment in manpower and material resources for artificial afforestation, the area of ​​​​the oasis was expanded to the current level. .

Up to now, in addition to the Zifu family of Baituoling Chen family on this oasis, there are four foundation building families attached to the Chen family, and dozens of small families composed of monks in the Qi training period. Thousands of casual cultivators rely on the oasis to make a living in Shangfang City. This Baisha River oasis is like a small self-sufficient cultivating world.

Because of the existence of the Immortal Cultivator Square City, and the ancestor of the Chen family, Chen Yaohui, a late-stage cultivator in the Zifu, is a deterrent, so the Baisha River Oasis does not prohibit foreign monks from entering and leaving.

However, because there are still millions of mortals living in the oasis, the Chen family and those cultivating families who are attached to the Chen family have specially set up support points in conspicuous places around the oasis, and they have sent family monks to garrison them all year round to guide foreign monks to go to the square correctly. City, lest these foreign monks disturb those mortals.

If you do not enter the Baisha River Oasis through these checkpoints, once you are discovered by the patrol team of monks from the Chen family patrolling the oasis, you will be fined with spirit stones, or you may be regarded as an intruder and killed directly.

On this day, a young man in white riding a Shatuo beast ushered in outside a reception point in the south of Baisha River Oasis.

The young man rode on the back of the Shatuo beast, just like most people who came to the oasis across the sea of ​​sand, his face was full of tiredness.

It wasn't until he saw the resplendent and magnificent palace attic on the mountain peak in the distance that he was refreshed, and a look of excitement appeared in his eyes.

The young man was exactly Zhou Yang who had been walking in the desert for dozens of days. At this time, forty-two days had passed since he left the Yuquan Lake Oasis.

Since he was attacked by sand bandits that day, he had a smooth journey in the following days. Apart from beheading two blind first-order desert monsters, he never encountered any danger.

It was just forty-two consecutive days of traveling in the desert. Because he had to spend his spiritual sense to explore the way every day, his spirit was already extremely exhausted, and he urgently needed to find a safe place to take a good rest.

And the reception points set up by various families around the Baisha River Oasis are undoubtedly a good place to rest.

"Fellow daoists are invited. Chen Fangping is here at Xiabaituoling. He was appointed by his family to receive fellow daoists from all walks of life here. Dare I ask you your name? Is there a history of your master?"

Outside the resplendent and resplendent reception hall, Zhou Yang, who hurried up the mountain peak, met the monks stationed here by the Chen family.

Because it is only responsible for guiding foreign monks to Fangshi, the Chen family does not have high requirements for the monks who perform this kind of task. The Chen Fangping, the monk of the Chen family in front of Zhou Yang, looks older than him by a dozen years in age. He has a kind and chubby look, and his cultivation is only at the fifth level of Qi training.

However, with the big backer of the Chen family in Baituoling, even facing a monk like him who has cultivated eight levels of qi, Chen Fangping's attitude is neither humble nor overbearing, very indifferent.

Zhou Yang is not surprised by this either. If it were him, the family ancestors of the Zifu period would be the backer, and he would not bow down in front of a strange monk of the same generation who was younger than him, unless the other party was a monk of the Foundation Establishment period.

He bowed his hand and saluted with a smile, and said in an affectionate tone: "It turns out that Brother Fang Ping from Baituoling, Zhou Yang of the Zhou family in Xiayuquan Lake, was ordered by his family to come to Jinshafang City to take care of his father Zhou Xuanhao. Home's [Yuquan Pavilion], this is my identity token."

Hearing that Zhou Yang was from the Alliance family of the Chen family, Chen Fangping's expression changed. When he took the identity token handed over by him and saw clearly the message left by Zhou Minghan, a monk at the foundation establishment period, his face also revealed smiled.

"It turned out to be brother Zhou Yang from Yuquan Zhou's family. I really disrespect and disrespect. Although my brother's cultivation base is low, I have heard of your father's second-rank high-grade alchemist. I never thought that my brother would be able to inherit your father's career at such a young age." , It really is a tiger father without dog son!"

Zhou Xuanhao has lived in the Baisha River Oasis for a long time, and the name of the second-level top-grade alchemist is naturally registered in various families. Therefore, he heard that Zhou Yang was Zhou Xuanhao's son, and saw that he had eight skills in Qi training at a young age. At the first level of cultivation, Chen Fangping's attitude immediately improved greatly.

While returning Zhou Yang's identity token, he stretched out his hand affectionately, made a gesture of invitation and said: "My brother came all the way from Yuquan Lake Oasis, it must have been hard work, so I don't have much to say, please come here, brother. For my brother, let people prepare soup and meals for my brother to clean up the dust."

"Brother Chen, Gao Yi, I'm here to thank Brother Chen first."

Zhou Yang was not too polite, he put away the token and followed Chen Fangping into the reception hall. As for the mount of the Shatuo beast, the mortal groom arranged by the Chen family to take it to feed it.

Entering the reception hall, Zhou Yang first entered the hot spring pool in the back hall under the guidance of the maid and took a good hot bath. When he changed into clean clothes and returned to the front hall, Chen Fangping had already prepared a table. Good food is waiting here.

The food is a herbal diet made of monster meat, century-old sealwort, hundred-year-old spirit ginseng and other second-order elixir. The rice is steamed with [Golden Pearl Rice]. When I saw it, I thought the two were good friends who had known each other for many years!

But brothers have to settle accounts, right? I, Chen Fangping, treat you, Zhou Yang, as a brother. Are you ashamed to eat for free?

When Zhou Yang received the consumption list handed over by Chen Fangping after eating and drinking, his expression was very bright.

He was a little strange just now, the two of them just met for the first time, even if Chen Fangping wanted to make friends with him because of his father Zhou Xuanhao, the meal would be a bit too rich.

It's just that the other party had already moved his chopsticks at that time, and he was really moved by the index finger attracted by the delicious food, so he didn't think about it any more. He only thought that the Chen family was a big family and didn't care about it.

It wasn't until now that he saw the consumption list handed over by the other party that he suddenly realized that he had been tricked.

This Chen Fangping didn't want to make friends with him, it was clearly just a favor!

Thinking about it now, Chen Fangping's previous attitude was indeed a little too enthusiastic.

The Zhou family and the Chen family say that they are alliances, but in fact, the Zhou family is the younger brother of the Chen family. Although Chen Fangping's cultivation base is low, he is also a serious child of the Chen family. If there is no profit motive, there is no need to lower his figure Come curry favor with him!

Therefore, the real situation can only be that when Chen Fangping heard that his father was the second-rank top-rank alchemist Zhou Xuanhao, he decided that he was a rich sheep, so his attitude changed drastically and he warmly entertained him. Kill him with a knife.

Anyway, with the Chen family as their backer and on their own territory, they are really not afraid of him daring to eat the overlord's meal.

After thinking through all this, Zhou Yang's face gradually returned to calm. He had eaten all the food, and he couldn't afford to pay for it, let alone a mere meal. Zhou Yang couldn't even afford to pay for a meal. .

"Brother Chen is good at it, I admire it, I admire it!"

He looked at Chen Fangping who was looking at him calmly with a calm expression, and gently cupped his hands, offering the meal fee as high as hundreds of Lingshi.

After receiving the Lingshi, Chen Fangping's indifferent expression changed again, he looked at him with a wide smile and said with a smile: "My brother is indeed an outstanding child of the Zhou family, this move is a magnanimity, I have made a deal with you as a friend, brother, in the future in Bai Shahe Oasis needs my elder brother’s help if I need help, my elder brother can ask, although my cultivation level is not high, I can still speak a few words with my father.”

"Oh, I don't know who your father is?" Zhou Yang's expression changed, and he looked at Chen Fangping in surprise.

Could it be that this thick-faced, round-faced fat man with a dark heart is also a second-generation immortal?

"My father is Chen Pingan!"

A flash of arrogance flashed across Chen Fangping's face, and he proudly uttered a name that changed Zhou Yang's complexion drastically.

"Chen Pingan! Could it be that Chen Pingan, Senior Chen, who killed the third-rank top-grade monster [Gold Swallowing Toad] with one sword?"

Zhou Yang couldn't help but exclaimed, his face was full of surprise.

"Of course!" Chen Fangping seemed very satisfied with the change in Zhou Yang's face, and nodded triumphantly.

"It turns out that Brother Chen is the son of Senior Chen, no wonder..." Zhou Yang looked at the proud round-faced fat man with a strange expression, and thought to himself, no wonder this guy who has a five-level qi training practice dares to cheat him like this The monks on the eighth floor.

In addition to the tiger skin of the Chen family, the emotional family also leans against the big tree of Chen Pingan.

That Chen Ping'an is not an ordinary person, but one of the dozens of monks in the foundation building period of the Chen family. His cultivation level is as high as the ninth floor of the foundation building. The record is to use a fourth-rank flying sword "Baihong Sword" to kill a third-rank top-rank monster known for its defensive power "Gold Swallowing Toad" with one sword.

With such a rich father, as long as Chen Fangping doesn't offend the cultivators of the Zifu period, he can basically walk sideways in the Baisha River Oasis. Of course, he is not afraid of him, a little cultivator from the Foundation Establishment family in Zhouyang.

Seeing the change in Zhou Yang's face, Chen Fangping didn't know what his unfinished words were, but he didn't mind, after all, it was the truth.

He narrowed his eyes, walked up to Zhou Yang with a friendly face, patted him on the shoulder and said, "How is it? Do you still feel that you are at a disadvantage now? If you invite me to a meal, you will have the opportunity to get along with my father." Relationship, this is definitely a big profit, you must know that with the status of my father, even the patriarch of your Zhou family wants to see him, it is not easy!"

"I……"

Zhou Yang looked at Chen Fangping who looked at him with a look of "You've made a lot of money", and he really felt like an orange cat in his heart.

He turned his head slightly, avoiding the direct gaze of that round and fat face, and coughed in embarrassment: "Cough cough, since brother Chen said so, I would like to ask again, you don't need Lingshi to sleep and rest here." Bar?"

Zhou Yang was also afraid of being tricked, and he gained wisdom by eating a pit. Now, besides breathing, drinking a glass of water or sleeping has to ask in advance whether it is free or not.

Seeing his appearance, Chen Fangping was also amused by his words, and couldn't help laughing: "Hahaha, brother is really interesting, don't worry, not only will you not be charged for sleeping, but brother will also give you two beauties for free How's the bed?"

Huh, so tired! Ask for a recommendation ticket, ask for a collection, and ask for a new book investment group.
