Cultivation Begins From The Desert

Zhou Yuanchen arrived at Chihu Mountain on the fifth day after Zhou Yang came back.

Since Zhou Yang became famous in the first battle, he, a Huang Shamen monk from the Zhou family, has become a middleman in the relationship between the two parties. Some things that Zhang Yunpeng and Zhou Yang are not convenient to meet directly are all done by him.

Thanks to this special status, he has not earned benefits from both sides these years. After seventeen years, his cultivation has finally reached the seventh floor of foundation establishment, and he has become a late foundation establishment monk.

But that's all he's done in his life. There's little hope of opening up the Purple Mansion. At most, he's the same as Zhou Minghan, the old patriarch of the Zhou family. He was promoted to the ninth floor of foundation building when he was over 200 years old, and then sadly waited for the end to come.

Zhou Yuanchen was also aware of his own family affairs, so he didn't insist on this matter, but put most of his energy on cultivating his son Zhou Guangde.

Although his son Zhou Guangde is only a middle-grade spiritual root aptitude, but with his care, and the Zhou family is no longer what it used to be, there will hardly be any problems in building foundations in the future.

The thought deep in Zhou Yuanchen's heart is that he hopes that his son, with his support and care, can succeed in building a foundation at the age of thirty or forty like Zhou Yang back then, so that the possibility of attacking the Purple Mansion in the future will be greater than that of his father. Much bigger.

This time with Zhang Yunpeng's instructions, Zhou Yuanchen's mood is actually very complicated.

When Zhang Yunpeng sent him over, he naturally confessed to him and told him about entrusting Zhou Yang to purchase the "Purple Heart Chalcedony".

And also implied that he promised him that if he could bring back the "Purple Heart Chalcedony", he would be rewarded with a large amount of sect merit points.

Zhou Yuanchen didn't know how to choose between the family that gave birth to him and the sect he had been in for most of his life.

"Let Master Zhang be disappointed. Although my younger brother went out this time and exchanged a lot of treasures, the [Purple Heart Chalcedony] entrusted by Master Zhang has never been seen in auctions and exchange meetings. These spirit stones are Brother Yuanchen, please help me return it to Sect Leader Zhang."

On Chihu Mountain, Zhou Yang received the visiting Zhou Yuanchen, and after learning about his intentions, he shook his head and denied that he had the "Purple Heart Chalcedony".

He did get a piece of "Purple Heart Chalcedony" from Zhong Chuming's storage ring, but that was in exchange for his life.

How could Zhou Yang sell the treasure he bought with his life for 200,000 spirit stones.

In particular, he is now wanted by the Emperor Beast Sect, and it is estimated that he will not dare to easily enter the world of cultivating immortals in Liuyunzhou in the next few decades or hundreds of years.

Then the role of the "Purple Heart Chalcedony" in his hand is extremely precious.

Zhou Guangxiang's cultivation has reached the seventh floor of the foundation building, and in at most another twenty years, he will be able to try to open up the Purple Mansion.

The "Purple Heart Chalcedony" in Zhou Yang's hands was of course used to train the Zhou family's own Zifu monks.

It seemed that he did not expect Zhou Yang to deny it so simply and neatly. While Zhou Yuanchen was disappointed, he was also slightly relieved.

He reached out to take the storage bag containing the Lingshi from Zhou Yang, and said in his mouth: "Of course I believe in the ninth brother. After I go back, I will truthfully explain this matter to the head, and I believe the head will understand. "

"Brother Yuanchen also needs to help my younger brother to bring a few words to head Zhang. He said that after five years, he and his wife will be invited to visit my oasis in Chihu Mountain. At that time, Mr. Zhou will have important matters to discuss with them."

Zhou Yang nodded slightly, and asked Zhou Yuanchen to bring a message to Zhang Yunpeng and Jiang Yuyan, inviting them to come and meet him.

He returned to the world of cultivating immortals in the boundless sand sea this time because he wanted to do a big job.

And if he wanted to make a big splash in the world of cultivating immortals in the boundless sand sea, the Huangshamen was a hurdle that he couldn't get around no matter what.

Hence, Zhou Yuanchen only stayed in Chihu Mountain for two days, accompanied his son Zhou Guangde who was cultivating on the mountain, and hurried back to Huangshamen to meet Zhang Yunpeng.

For the next half month, Zhou Yang didn't go anywhere, and just listened to his father Zhou Xuanzhen on the oasis of Chihu Mountain talking about what happened in these years.

This work should have been done by Zhou Guangxiang and others, but Zhou Xuanhao, who has grown old and chattery, took the initiative to take over this work, and Zhou Yang was naturally more willing to listen to what his father said to himself.

"Our Zhou family is in trouble now. When the monks in the family go out, they all have to take a high look. Even the children of the Chen family and the Nie family who are also members of the Zifu family will also take the initiative to salute and say hello to our children. .”

"The Huang Shamen has also made a lot of moves in recent years. They captured and wiped out many rebellious families, but accumulated a lot of wealth, and after Yang Xiong, there is a new Zifu monk in the door."

"Do you still have any impression of the Lu family on Chihu Ridge? This Lu family is really lucky. The Lu family boy back then is now the head of the Lu family. He is more than ninety years old and the old tree has sprouted. A daughter with a high-grade ice-type spiritual root, the Lu family will probably flourish in the future!"

...

After all, Zhou Xuanhao was old, and the news that came out of his mouth was not very systematic, and Zhou Yang needed to think and sort out the information he got.

While thinking about sorting out the information he had obtained, he looked at his father Zhou Xuanzhen and asked, "Father, haven't you heard from sister Yao'er and godmother all these years?"

The mother and daughter Zhou Xuanyu and Zhou Yuanyao left the Zhou family to travel, but they disappeared for decades, and there was no news about it. Zhou Yang has always been very concerned about this matter.

"No, the children of our Zhou family who have been traveling outside have never given up looking for Yao'er's traces these years. Guangxiang has also spread Yao'er's portrait and related information to various large oases, offering a huge reward for Yao'er's whereabouts clues, but so far They got nothing!"

"If it wasn't for the fact that the third sister's soul card left in the family is still intact, we would all wonder if their mother and daughter would have been killed long ago!"

Zhou Xuanhao's face darkened, and he said the result in a low voice.

Finding the missing Zhou Xuanyu and Zhou Yuanyao is the last wish of Zhou Minghan, the old patriarch of the Zhou family. Zhou Yang and his son, who have been greatly favored by the old patriarch Zhou Minghan, have always wanted to fulfill this last wish.

However, after decades, this matter has not progressed at all, and both father and son are a little depressed.

"Father, don't worry, when the children finish their family affairs, they will go to every oasis to find their mother and daughter. I don't believe that I have searched all the hundreds of oases in this boundless sand sea and cultivating immortals, but I still can't find them." The traces of their mother and daughter!"

Zhou Yang gritted his teeth and resolutely stated his decision.

He is already a cultivator of the Purple Mansion Stage, and he can take the descendants of his seventh sister Zhou Yuanchun to find Zhou Yuanyao's mother and daughter who are of similar blood by casting the "Heaven-moving Family Searching Curse".

However, when Zhou Xuanhao heard his words, he shook his head repeatedly and said, "No, this will delay your practice. Even if the old patriarch is still alive, he definitely doesn't want you to do this."

"It doesn't matter, and it won't take a few years. Compared to fulfilling the old patriarch's last wish, the child can still afford it in just a few years." Zhou Yang smiled and said nonchalantly.

Regarding Xu Song's existence, he didn't want to tell his father Zhou Xuanhao, so as not to worry him.

With Xu Song, a serious Golden Core stage ghost cultivator, there, it's actually not difficult to find someone.

At the same time, he was also very curious about the reasons and circumstances that would make the mother and daughter Zhou Xuanyu and sister Zhou Yuanyao have no contact with the family for decades.

And Zhou Xuanhao opened his mouth when he heard him say this, but he still didn't utter the words of advice in the end.

A month passed quickly.

After a month of preparation, the Zhou family's family meeting was held in the meeting hall on Chihu Mountain as scheduled.

In the meeting hall, Zhou Yang, who was sitting at the top, glanced at it, and saw that the originally empty meeting hall now had no less than 300 people sitting there.

Among those people, he has some impressions of most of them, but there are also many young faces that he doesn't know.

He knew that those young faces he didn't know were the new generation of Zhou family members who were born and raised in the years he left.

Then he turned his gaze to the front row. Except for Zhou Xuanzhen and other Foundation Establishment cultivators, several of the seven deacons and elders of the Zhou family were replaced.

Now the seven deacon elders are the elder Zhou Yuanfang, the elder of Chuan Gong, the elder Zhou Guangheng of internal affairs, the elder Zhou Guangxin of common affairs, the elder Zhou Guangyun of finance, the elder Zhou Guangkun of law enforcement, the elder Zhou Guangzhong of public security, and the elder Luo Qiang of external affairs.

Among them, although Zhou Yuanfang belongs to the "Yuan" generation like Zhou Yang, her actual age is younger than Zhou Guangxiang, a monk of the "Guang" generation. The offspring born at an advanced age have just turned 100 years old this year.

Now besides Zhou Yang and Zhou Yuanchen, there are seven or eight monks of the "Yuan" generation in the Zhou family who are in the same situation as her.

"Eighteen sister, as an elder who teaches the exercises, you should start first!"

Looking away from everyone in the hall, Zhou Yang slightly nodded at Zhou Yuanfang below, and smiled to let him speak first.

Hearing his words, the silver-haired Zhou Yuanfang hurriedly got up and bowed to him, and then said loudly: "Elder Taishang Mingjian, my Zhou family now has 312 monks in the family, including one from the Xuan family. There are 10 people from Yuan character generation, 184 people from Guang character generation, and 117 people from Tong character generation.”

"Among these monks, there is 1 monk in the Zifu stage, 5 monks in the foundation stage, 32 monks in the ninth level of Qi training, 75 monks in the late stage of Qi training, 94 monks in the middle stage of Qi training, 63 monks in the early stage of Qi training, and the remaining 42 monks. Everyone is a congenital child and an unenlightened baby."

"In addition, my Zhou family currently has 146 monks with foreign relatives, including 37 married male relatives and 119 married female monks. Among these foreign relatives, there is 1 monk at the Zifu period, 8 monks at the ninth level of qi training, and 8 monks at the late stage of qi training. 52 people, 40 monks in the middle stage of Qi training, and 45 monks in the early stage of Qi training."

"The last is the number of mortals. The number of mortals who have the blood of my Zhou family should be around 870,000, and the number of mortals with other surnames should be 280,000. Seventy percent of these mortals live in the Chihu Mountain oasis. Thirty percent is distributed in the other oases of my Zhou family."
